Breaking the Bread of Life

     Hail, Children of the Sun!

     I AM Gabriel, which stand in the presence of God!

     I AM in the Great Central Sun and I AM in the earth, and I stand here before the altar of the Holy Grail, so consecrated by the knights and ladies of Camelot who have come to the altar of the One for the giving of the gift of self - and for the receiving of the Grail, the very chalice of the Godhead.

     I welcome you to the heart of an archangel. For I desire, even as you have desired, to commune with all Children of the Sun who retain the ancient record in the tablets of mem1 of their beginning and origin in the heart of the Great Central Sun. Children of the God Star are ye! And I address you directly from the heart of your Mother to the very heart where there does pulsate that threefold flame of life.

     I AM Gabriel, come now for a mighty rejoicing at the leaping fountain of fire captivated in the Aries sun - the sign of the Lamb who is come and of the spring and of Sanat Kumara, and of the very fires of the resurrection which have become the qualification of your heart fires.

     I adore thee, O my God! I adore thee in the sun and in the heart of thy sons and daughters. Therefore, the earth is raised this day and heaven is nigh. For the gift of the spring is truly the gift of a mother's heart.

     O beloved, earth is on the very cusp of a victory, and light streams forth from the hearts of Keepers of the Flame. You have pursued a fasting in love and the preparation of the temple. Therefore, I am pleased to pour into this very chalice of thine own temple the gift of my heart - the gift of my flame of the ascension, as ye are able to bear it, and the gift of my teaching.

     O beloved ones, I also am the teacher of Daniel the prophet. I AM the teacher of all of the house of Israel. I AM the teacher of the lambs. I AM the teacher of elemental life. And I come in the name of the Mother. I come in the name of the white fire of your ascension.

     I AM the one called by Serapis Bey to announce the descent of a mighty light. Thus, the annunciation is the very gift of the descent of your Holy Christ Self, the most precious gift in all creation, whose anointing, whose inauguration has come to you by the blessed sons of heaven - even the Lord Jesus Christ whose birth I announced, whose conception I prophesied in the name of God and by the very heart of Saint Germain, the Holy Father, the vessel of that descending light of the Holy Comforter.

     This is a year of that Comforter, of that Holy Spirit. And the very presence of the Maha Chohan quivers in the air as a shimmering garment of Surya and Cuzco, and the Mother of the World fills the Matter cosmos! And everywhere you go here below, you can feel the vibration of the Divine Mother tending the children of all spheres and planetary homes. For the great descent of light is nigh.

Presentation of Mysteries of the Holy Grail
"My Work of Love"

     Therefore, beloved hearts, graciously before my Lord Sanat Kumara and before your blessed hearts, I do express gratitude for the effort extended by all of you, whether known or unknown. For one and all worldwide, you have borne the burden, now, for the release this day of my teachings on the Holy Grail. Thus I present it to you, in the name of my beloved chelas - this volume2 which shall go forth and is in itself the herald of the teachings of Sanat Kumara. Won't you receive it in our love. [applause]

     The call has gone forth from many hearts, beloved, for the writings of Sanat Kumara to be released and to be completed. One disciple of his light wrote a letter to the messenger and said: What can I do to help bring about the completion of the cross of the ruby ray, the path of Sanat Kumara?3

     And so the messenger, reading this thoughtfully, pondered in her heart and asked me what could be done. And therefore, I reminded and gave the teaching that ere Sanat Kumara's Pearls of Wisdom could be released, first the teaching on the mysteries of the Holy Grail must go forth as a preparation of the field of consciousness - preparing that field worldwide for the sowing of the seed of the mystery of the seventh seal, of the power of the spoken Word of the Ancient of Days.

     Thus, dutifully and joyfully with angels has this precious work been prepared. And I do know that Sanat Kumara will respond to you as you assimilate my being, even my body and my blood; even as you take and make a part of yourself the light of Alpha and Omega of my being, so he will come. So likewise, he will tap the messenger on the shoulder and say, "I am ready to dictate my final release, for there is a chalice prepared."

     Therefore I, too, am here this day - come because you have responded in the self-emptying to be filled of my love. We rejoice, as you rejoice, on the path of prayer and fasting which opens up heaven and worlds beyond. And your hearts rejoice in the flame of eternal life that once again can burn brightly in every cell of your body because of the necessary cleansing which must occur in the times and the seasons so appointed.

     I am grateful and I bless you for your receptivity to this, my work of love. O beloved, please be seated.

The Path of the Ministering Servant to Proclaim the Good News and to Set the Captives Free

     I bring to you the rejoicing of the path of the ministering servant. I remind you, beloved hearts, that certain of the followers of Jesus have established a worldwide ministry, sending those who would become elders of the church, ministering servants, on a two-year mission preaching the message of Jesus Christ and his very presence in the Americas.

     Beloved hearts, Jesus Christ - the same yesterday and today and forever - does bring the Christ to every nation and people and tongue, and surely has, both before and since his Palestinian mission, appeared to those who have had eyes to see him - on every continent and to every people. Thus he is the Saviour of every nation.

     I bid you recognize, therefore, that the teaching that does go forth and that is sealed in these miraculous books, published by The Summit Lighthouse, must not be left on the shelves of the bookstalls of the world. You must not think that these books can proclaim themselves. Though they are a mighty call, they are heard only by those who have the ability to leap and respond to the flame they contain.

     But, for the sake of those little ones, the true Children of the Sun, even the lost sheep of the house of Israel4 who must yet be brought together in one fold and one body5 - not all of whom contain the fire that leaps - preach the Word. And therefore, house to house, nation by nation, the lightbearers must go to proclaim the good news and to set the captive free! - to go forth, blessed hearts, and provide by their own fervor in the Holy Spirit that fire that can be transferred to all whom you meet who are of the Light.

     Thus having this fire transferred by the message of the Holy Spirit, by the preachment and the teaching of the Law, and best of all, by the example of the light of the heart and the eye, they then shall respond. And when invited to partake of the bread and the wine, they will drink in. They will read, they will run, they will assimilate. They will become this mighty Light.

     And therefore, beloved hearts, each message, each book and tape we release are the tools for the ministering servants, for the disciples and the chelas, whereby they may develop the sacred fire of their own hearts: first assimilating - understanding and knowing the Word and developing the heart - and then by pure love establishing that contact with the Maha Chohan that enables you to speak the Word, to release the Light and the Teaching that you know - not according to prior design, but as the Holy Spirit does speak through you to all whom you meet. Nothing less than the living and vibrant presence of the Holy Spirit will suffice in our chelas, in our disciples!

     Do we fill your cups that you may rejoice? Yea, but not alone. The cup must overflow! It must be shared, else love cannot be born as a flame ignited between two hearts. True love and the highest of the Divine Presence, beloved hearts, is in giving the highest gift of the teaching itself - not to give a book, but to give a heart with a book.

     Understand, blessed ones, that these words on the pages come from my heart filled with light. This light descends to a certain level; and beneath that level, those in embodiment must supply it, must reinfuse the work with the light of the Mother.

     And I speak of you, blessed hearts who love the Truth: Love the Truth, love its proof, and love the Children of the Sun who as yet cannot reach out and take it, may never enter a bookstore and find this work, and yet whose souls are so ready, so very ready. Beloved ones, I tell you, they are right here in Los Angeles! All over the county you will find these hearts - perhaps not articulate enough or tutored enough to understand these words written but who will respond immediately to the precepts and the teachings.

     I do not mind that you break the bread of Life with them and for them, for they cannot take the whole loaf. I do not mind when, filled with the Holy Spirit, you break down the Word I give to the simple understanding, to the level of the child. I rejoice in your ingenuity when you can create children's stories, like Aesop's fables, illustrating complex truths which may not be accepted in their naked reality; for many close the door when confronting the true teaching on the nature of Good and Evil, Armageddon, the messengers, the incarnate Word. All of these things at once, beloved hearts, incite fear and trembling in those yet burdened by orthodoxy.

     And therefore, little by little, our book and our teaching is the strong meat of the Word.6 It is for apostles and disciples. These, then, will multiply the loaves and fishes and give to eat. And they will not eat all, for many basketsful will be left over. They will eat what they can assimilate and what they need in the moment. And wise are ye when ye perceive the need and supply it and nothing more, lest it overburden and even make sick the one to whom you speak.

Strengthening Our Servants by Prayer and Fasting
Special Instruction to Initiates

     You will remember that even Daniel became sick when I had finished speaking to him.7 For the very burden of Light and the Word of God is often too much even for the prophets to contain. Therefore, the fasting from the world consciousness makes you more able to receive Light and become Light. And then you must protect that Light and realize that you have increased the distance between yourself and the world.

     The world is threatened by that very fact. The world trembles when it feels the pillars in the temple accelerating, separating out. And therefore, you understand the emotions of loved ones and families who feel that distance and that gulf widening. For they have grown accustomed to your Tree of Life planted in the midst of their garden. They know not that God has already planted your Tree of Life in his garden. And there is an angel that does keep the way of that Tree of Life, allowing those to enter who are ready to lay down the lesser self and receive the initiations of Maitreya.

     These initiations in part have already been set forth by Sanat Kumara and in many of our teachings. You know them well. Further, they are now sent forth in my very own book.

     I desire to instruct you beyond the written page. I desire your mastery of the written page to be such that I may come to you individually and also feed you directly from my own heart, through your own Christ Self and through this vessel who bears my word today, that you might receive that for which you are ready - understanding that heaven also feeds those who are the initiates at the top levels of the Brotherhood in embodiment.

     For you have other needs than those of the multitudes whom you feed. We supply them. You need only read the pages of the Old Testament to see the intercession of the Most High to the prophets who were burdened, who wept for the people - to Moses, to Joshua, to the leadership itself. And therefore, they were strengthened even as they came forth to strengthen the people.

     Thus, in the hour of your greatest need, let your consciousness know well the precept and the teaching and the Law, that the fallen ones may not fool you with their clever and subtle substitutions of the Law of God. Thus in your knowing and in your understanding, God can speak to you within the context of his highest Law and your own highest knowledge of that Law.

     The world suffers gravely in ignorance of religious truth, of the verity of the avatar, even God incarnate and the God-goal for each one to internalize the Christ Self. These teachings are an offense to many who are devotees of Jesus, and therefore you must find words and a message that they may accept and understand, without violating the lines of their self-imposed or otherwise-imposed belief systems.

     The softening is the key, beloved heart, and the violet flame is that universal panacea that softens the whole world consciousness this day. This day, my beloved, therefore by the violet flame, prepare the world for the ultimate reality: the reality of Truth sharply delineated, almost stark in its reality, as the etched silhouette of Mount Everest against the piercing blue sky. One day all will be able to face the truth of their Christ Self, but much teaching may be given before this.

Empowered by the Maha Chohan,
Preach and Teach the Simple Practical Word

     Rejoice, for the hour is come when God will surely empower you by the Maha Chohan's presence and by Saint Germain to preach and teach the Word. Thus do, and remember that the very first message of Sanat Kumara is that all who would ascend must also convey the Word.

     Therefore know the prophets, invoke their mantle. Know the life of John the Baptist and Jesus and blessed Gautama, whose birthday millions celebrate this day.8 Know them, run with them, fear not. And remember that they, too, trembled before they uttered their first words. They, too, had to overcome Mara.

     Think of all that preceded the very first sermon of Lord Gautama at Sarnath.9 Facing heaven and hell, dismissing the evil hosts, verifying his office and his right to be doing what he was doing, thus he came forth to reveal, in simplicity, actually a very complex understanding that he received in the causal body of God - the understanding of the whole world and its suffering, and the nature of karma and desire and the fallen ones who incite this desire. All this he saw - much as Enoch saw it when he was taken up into the levels of heaven.10

     But this, by the power of the Holy Spirit, was reduced to a message that has become universal: the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path - a message for practical action for the guarding of oneself from the temptations of unreality, for the balancing of karma and a life that would lead to higher octaves if followed.

     Tell them in the message of the preacher! Tell them by the word of the messenger! Tell them in simplicity: This is the way of the ascension. Walk ye in it, and rejoice forevermore.

     O my beloved, God has given to you this day the fruit of the Tree of Life. In the vastness of this cornucopia of teaching, God has said to you: Make it practical, make it understandable to the Children of the Sun.

     I AM Gabriel, and I ask you in this hour: Will you give this gift to the Mother? ["Yes!"]

     In her name, I accept it. And I hold you on the path of initiation of the fourth ray, of beloved Serapis, who stands now to address you today.

The Mother's Prayer on the Buddha's Birthday*

     Therefore we desire, O God ...

     O God within each heart, I speak to thee. For our soul's desiring, as the brides of Christ, is to truly give to all the light, the bouquet, the flowers that we have gathered in the fields of life as wisdom, as experience, as sorrows that have turned to joy, as karma that has melted before the violet flame as the snows melt in the mountains in springtime.

     May we give to all life, O God, thy experience in all creation, and make the pathway light and fruitful and victorious for those whose hands we clasp this day - the blessed children of the world who hold the hands of the Divine Mother and make a circle of strength and joy and laughter around the whole wide world, nation by nation. No division or schism, no understanding of hatred - only the oneness of the children of Light everywhere.

     O Gautama Buddha, on this thy day of grace, come into our hearts and live forever!

     *Give this invocation aloud in full force - right now - and often as you reread and meditate on the words of the Master in this Pearl. Your voice is your vote in heaven that counts for the establishment of world peace. The Light of God never fails when you release it through the science of the spoken Word!


Footnotes:

1 mem: (Hebrew mem, lit. `water') the 13th letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The tablets of mem have been defined by the Ascended Master El Morya as "the soul's memory and all that God has written for your destiny." See Serapis Bey's teaching on the tablets of mem in Climb the Highest Mountain, Summit University Press, paperback, pp. 287-88.
2 At this point in the dictation, the messenger held up, before the congregation, a copy of Mysteries of the Holy Grail. In this newly released book, Archangel Gabriel unveils 18 Mysteries - including Christ, Armageddon, Consciousness, the Incarnation, Good and Evil, the Messengers, and the Power of the Spoken Word. Summit University Press, paperback.
3 Following the original release of Mysteries of the Holy Grail by Archangel Gabriel in the 1978-79 Pearls of Wisdom, Sanat Kumara dictated The Opening of the Seventh Seal - a series of Pearls (to be concluded) setting forth the beginning steps on the Path of the Ruby Ray (vol. 22, nos. 13-48). On January 13, 1980, Lord Lanto explained: "Indeed, Sanat Kumara's work, though preliminary to that which he has yet to deliver on the opening of the seventh seal, lays the foundation of that which we desire to accomplish in this decade through the eighth-ray integration of the soul with the beloved Christ Self."

8 April 8, the birthdate of the Messenger, is also celebrated in Japan as the birthday of the Buddha. Japanese Buddhists observe the day with traditional ceremonies honoring the baby Buddha. Surrounded by flowers, a statue of the infant Gautama sits in a basin of sweet tea, on top of a white elephant. (Before Gautama's birth, his mother dreamt that a white elephant entered her womb through her side - a good omen, foretelling the birth of a universal monarch or buddha.) Each devotee brings a floral offering and pours a scoop of the sweet tea over the baby Buddha, commemorating the "sweet rain" that fell and the flowers that bloomed in the garden after his birth. This ritual is followed by a children's presentation of plays and skits on the life and teachings of the Buddha.
9 Gautama preached his first sermon, known as the Dhammacakkappavattana-sutta ("Setting in Motion the Wheel of Truth"), at Isipatana (now Sarnath) near Benares. During this sermon he revealed the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and the Middle Way. See "Siddhartha Gautama" and "The Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path" in Pearls of Wisdom, vol. 26, no. 4, pp. 33-36, 166-67; Gautama Buddha, Quietly Comes the Buddha, Summit University Press, paperback.
