     The Call of the Central Sun

     There is a star shining, beloved - the single star of your Christ-Reality.

     I am in the blue sphere of my causal body of Light. As I am known [as] the Great Divine Director, an office accorded me by the Almighty One, I am a part of the radiant light rays descending as the will of God, as divine direction for the implementation of that will descending from each one's own star of cosmic Christhood.

     The star of your causal body burns brightly tonight in the darkness of cosmos, in the void, throughout all Matter spheres. It is the causal body of the Sons of God that illumines the worlds. Think of the blackest night and know that when your causal body does appear, a whole town or state or planet may be illumined. Is this not a joy to know that you - in and as God - can therefore bestow upon every part of Life coming to the dawning and yawning realization of Selfhood some morsel of identification with the Infinite?

     Thus, the physical stars are positioned (as you understand) as the outer manifestation of great causal bodies of Light of cosmic beings, a reminder to evolving souls that a point of relationship with the Divine One does truly exist and that because there is a commeasurement, an awareness within the soul of the point of Life, there is an inner recognition of a goal, a path - even a universal Brotherhood. For the manifold stars sing of a unity of purpose and design.

     Therefore, beloved, without organized religion, but solely upon the principle of the love fire of the divine spark within, the evolving soul may begin to equate with Elohim. And the sense of distance does portray to the soul that there is a path and an overcoming, and a quest for the mastery of time and space and forces [that must be pursued] in order for the soul to reach that star.

     Now, some have developed science to the place where the journey to the stars physically has become possible. But, beloved, they are yet going from point A to point B of the physical universe. Thus, after long evolution in the science of Matter, one desires to part the veil, to scratch through the canopy of the heaven to see what is on the other side of the roof of the sky and the star itself. Indeed, many are curious to see the other side of the moon.

     Therefore, beloved, there is inherent in the soul who has come from a Spirit cosmos far beyond all of this magnitude the desire to return to a spiritual Sun and a Being. Tasting the ultimate of love in this world and life, one only knows that one has not even begun to taste of the Love that is beyond, that is the source of the cup which one drinks in joy, in the fragile moment of Love's embrace that one would keep for eternity but that one can only keep for eternity if one will mount the spiral of Love and pass through the barriers into a space undefined, infinite and yet without time.

     Beloved ones, the known is a comfort, but the unknown becomes a source of fear from which men may cringe and say, "I will take my way and life. Let me postpone to another day this probing, this voyage of discovery into the infinite Mind of God." And thus, in the long history of this planet a certain superstition, a social custom, that which is accepted as norms of activity, et cetera, has almost been a means of insulating souls and humanity and civilization against going beyond the wall - the wall that is built around the town to protect it from invading marauders or enemies.

     Somehow, had God not defined the bounds of man's habitation,1 man himself should have drawn a limited circle about himself to contain his fears, to keep them under control so as not to have to think about his responsibility and his own beingness in the vast beyond that seems cold on a winter's night. Thus, he returns to the fire of the hearth and may be at peace and abide there for many centuries until he is confronted, as you are today, with conditions upon earth which truly trouble the hearts of little children.

     There is, in fact, nowhere to hide, no cave so removed that it cannot be touched by pollution or nuclear war or astral hordes or false hierarchies who prey upon the Lightbearers. "Where shall we go, Lord? Thou hast the words of eternal Life."2

     Ah, and then the soul begins to say to herself,

     Nowhere may I go on earth or in this vast physical cosmos, nowhere may I go and be any closer in physicality to the infinite heart of Love. Where I am is the All. And when I am the All, I am neither in heaven nor in earth, nor in China or New York, for I am in the Holy of Holies of God where I am.

     And thus, the soul may think to herself,

     This planet earth with all of her problems - I might just as well perch here as anywhere, for the testings of soul would be the same and my absence of mastery would be no better, no less if I were suddenly removed with lightning speed to another planet across space.

     And so it begins to dawn - the inner cosmos, the inner nucleus that has to do with the secret chamber of the heart and the cosmic interval that seems so tiny as physical dimension but is as vast as the Macrocosm.

     Meditate upon your heart. See there the image of Buddha in meditation alway upon thy soul. Thus, in all of her musings and contemplated voyages and all decisions as to what to do here and there, the soul returns to the sense,

     The whole vast Matter cosmos is a cage - confining, defining Life, yet in limitation. I am now ready, as the bluebird of happiness, to fly from this cage.

     I have no fear. I AM the Knower and the known. That which is beyond that is cause of all that I have become here below must truly be ready to receive me. For if indeed this physical cosmos is a reflection, a negative manifestation of the divine polarity, then I should only find a more real, a more solid, a more permanent peace.

     How can I fly beyond the roof of the sky? I must learn, then, complete adjustment of molecules of light of my own mind. I must understand that to pass through this nexus I must, of course, first find the pinprick. In all of cosmos, somewhere there must be a pinprick that I can pass through! So I will find it, and I will travel now the circle of the figure eight. I will pass over that in mind and heart and meditate upon the acceleration of sacred fire.

     I will not only raise the light of the Mother within me, I will dance in the fountain of her light. I will become that light! I will swirl within it until I can absorb fully the intensity of the Light. For I know that somewhere this rising fountain passes from the negative polarity of Matter to the Spirit plus-polarity that gave that manifestation.

     Thus, each day I will be the Mother's athlete. I will be the runner. I will learn to absorb more light. I will breathe deeply and take in the oxygen that is the carrier of light.

     I will meditate upon the Word. I will know the science of sound and of mantra. I will let my gaze rest upon the yantra of the Buddha. OM MANI PADME HUM. OM MANI PADME HUM. Oh, I AM that jewel in the heart of the lotus! How magnificent! It is indeed the elusive crystal of Spirit.

     I AM THAT I AM. I will follow the sound and the call of the Central Sun. I will listen now in the inner ear. I will cut off the senses from all of this turbulence of outer noisome pestilence. I will begin to attune with the movement of my heart and beyond its beating find the heart of the bird and the heart of angel, the heart of Elohim.

     I will gaze upon the sun of Helios and Vesta with my inner eye, and I will then create a spiral, an undulation. And I will not go up and down the sine wave but I shall cut straight through as an arrow. In my meditation I will pass through the Central Sun of this system of worlds and back again in elliptical orbit. I can do this, for I AM the One.

     I may know all the joys of this life placed here for my commeasurement with Love, but I may simultaneously and without fear build ring upon ring of my causal body here below as is above. I can enter the secret rays by the call to Mighty Cosmos. I am only conditioned to mortality. It has never been my reality.

     I am standing now in the center of the Sun even as I stand upon the altar before the altar of the Holy Grail. Lo, I AM here and I AM there. I AM Mother and I AM Child, I AM Father and I AM Son, held forever in the embrace of Holy Spirit's cloven tongues of fire.

     Now I climb the sunbeam back to the heart of the blue sphere. I hear in that ray of light the sound of the Great Divine Director. I am commensurate with the vibration of the will of God, and now I see how that will translates through Mother as surefooted divine direction. I may leap in the high mountains with those sheep and goats who know the way. I am so sure that my step is the step of God, for I AM in the heart of the Great Divine Director.

     Thus, I know no confinement. I gladly accept this opportunity, O God, to myself. Roll up as a scroll the record of every life that has ever been lived in mortality - subhuman, sinful, unaware, asleep. All these records can no longer be a part of myself, for I AM WHO I AM. I AM the living presence of Love where I AM. I have tapped the eternal fount. I have sailed to Venus.

     But, O beloved, O beloved, when the worlds are known above and below, the worlds are become one where you are. Matter is not bereft of Spirit; Spirit is not bereft of Matter. Entering the eye at the point of the pinprick, then, you are in the center of the T'ai Chi.

     In the sound of the Word accelerating, the great sun disc begins to spin. And the spinning of the T'ai Chi is the sign that I and my Father, I and my Mother are One. The oneness is the envelope in which I dwell - a pressed flower, an immortelle. I can be anywhere in God, for I have come to the nucleus of his will that is the blue-fire sun of divine direction.

     O beloved Great Divine Director, now I know thee as thou art. For I have also passed by the way of thy soul's mounting to that blue starry body that I see in the heavens.

     O Great Divine Director, come, now. Be the All of me as I AM the All of thee.

     Thus, beloved, you have traced with me as I have traced the path of a chela moving from the will of God to its divine direction. Truly the Mother releases, as she is the Shakti, that which is the blue sphere of my attainment. Thus, the feminine part of myself, which you may also see portrayed somewhat in this facsimile,3 is that which ties you in and keys you to your footsteps on earth in a very concrete step-by-step manner.

     When you pray for the will of God and you feel saturated by it, you may still say, "But I do not know which way to go. I am in love with the will of God. I feel the fiery blueprint and the ruby crystal. I am a part of that eternal Light. Lo, I AM THAT I AM! But now, which way may I turn? Are my choices being made based on limitation? centuries, millennia of tribal superstition? fear, then, of outer things or perhaps even phobias?"

     Beloved ones, as you have heard from Maitreya the beloved, a sound mind is based on a sound body.4 And having all the rules of health with a capstone of knowledge concerning each functioning of the body is most important before setting the direction of one's life. Be certain you are not clouded by the problems that manifest from a body that is not well-tended, whose caretaker, yourself, has not understood the way of love and resurrection and accountability and, truly, the practical necessities of meeting the demands and stresses of life in a polluted, degenerate and burdensome physical planet.

     Blessed ones, divine direction must begin from within. Neither the Messenger nor the Lords of Karma may respond to you this night or to your letters when you ask for the will of God but you yourself have not truly positioned yourself directly under that Tree of Life of Lord Maitreya. For when the fruit falls and the initiation is to be taken with bliss, you must be beneath the Tree of Life rather than here or there.

     Thus, our advice to you when you have desires and plans, and these are uppermost, is to go and fill them. Fill your desires! Fill your cups! Play out your spirals. Learn, then, what you truly desire and what you do not desire. For the only portion of the will of God that you will ever successfully fulfill is that which you have made your dear and deepest desire.

     You cannot tattoo the will of God on a wayward soul. You cannot wear the garment and yet not play the part. There is no adaptability to the inner blueprint of Life until all other choices have been eliminated by you - not us.

     Therefore, I give you this hour to contemplate the will of God as your own desire - desires that you may think have no parallel whatsoever with the spiritual path; but they may indeed be a very important part of that path, simply because you contain them.

     I have instructed the Messenger, who has mentioned this to you before, that she must be extremely careful as to any desire that may cross her mind, for any desire contained by the Messenger is immediately fulfilled. And this she has observed, for there is no substance to prevent the precipitation. Thus, considering that the cosmic law and the abundant Life should bring the fruit of desire, I have taught her to become most careful and economical with the power of desire, desiring always those things that are God's desiring, which are her desires truly.

     And thus I have taught her to withdraw instantaneously all forces and energy and thoughts and feelings from any matrix unworthy, unprofitable, unfruitful, unnecessary and not achieving the desired goal of the glory of God's kingdom, of the golden age, of the spreading abroad of the Teachings, of the receiving of the little ones, of preparing the Montessori school and the Ranch and all facilities, that everyone who might come who hungers and thirsts after righteousness might be fed.

     And with all of this grand design from the causal body of myself, then there come the lines, the details of the filling in, department by department of life, of that which must be done so that no one upon earth of any evolution or persuasion may not find some path, some morsel, some teaching, some truth - so that no one ultimately may go away from this Community disappointed or unfed or feeling somehow empty and not filled.

     Thus, how to do this as quickly as possible with the resources and the volunteers at hand - this becomes a very exacting equation. And in this Mother Mary is the greatest asset as the administrator, as the all-seeing eye of the Community, having many angels and scribes and secretaries who do undertake to give to our Messenger and our leadership those reminders, those plans, those ideas that best fulfill and fill in the missing pieces to a Community that is designed to be a mosaic of the central sun of Love with radiating light going forth.

     And these rays of gold from the heart of the sun of Love are pathways providing openings and entrances, all leading to the heart of the Inner Retreat. This very land itself must be protected and prepared, for it has a very ancient, ancient spiritual focus, beloved. It is indeed a cradle. But I would tell you that the feet of archangels were placed upon that land long, long ago in its formation, making etheric tracks in akasha and sealing that place as a magnet for the drawing of pilgrims. It is truly the shrine of this international movement. It is truly the point of convergence of suns.

     Let it become a more permanent place. Let the facilities be there, for you will see that we will bring members of the nations and the root races. Understand its link to the Grand Teton and to the very heart of the earth. It is indeed a place prepared for twin flames and the cosmic cross of white fire and solar lights and the aurora borealis and the descent of mighty souls from above, in those twinkling causal bodies, to waiting parents below.

     I say then, beloved, determine in the next hour what are your unfulfilled desires. No matter how mundane they may be, write them down in a list and look at them. Confront them and say, "Which of these must I most assuredly fulfill in order to be at peace with myself and to move on surefooted to the rays leading to the great blue causal body of the Great Divine Director?"

     Put down, then, the spiritual goals of the Great White Brotherhood such as you understand them [to be], as they have been defined by the Darjeeling Council of the Great White Brotherhood. Do this on separate sheets of paper and decide whether there be any human desires left over from many lifetimes of somehow nonfulfillment and aloneness, whether any of these desires may be sublimated in the fulfillment of higher goals, whether truly transmutation and resolution of the lesser or former desires may take place, and whether the joy you would receive from the fulfillment of spiritual goals for the saving of a planet would be adequate - adequate to compensate for the letting go of one of these.

     Look, then, to what is needed most by you personally, what is worth most to you personally. And if there is something you have always wanted to do and you always come back to it and it will always be there nagging at you, it is best, then - if you are certain that you want that perhaps `detour' in life - to go out and find it and realize it.

     Then you must take these two lists as parallel lines and say, "Which of my own desires in the human sense are really God's desires for me? Which of these desires can link up and be an instrument for the fulfillment of the goals of the Great White Brotherhood? How, then, in satisfying my own soul's needs can I also satisfy the needs of a larger circle so that neither I nor the circle of Community will be deprived?

     "After all, I have two arms, two legs - I have two parts to myself in every way. I am a dual being. As the Gemini Mind of God, I can handle the white-fire/blue-fire sun. I can understand the blue-fire sun of Sirius as that which must be done in the physical universe so that when my feet are lifted by angels above the earth and I find myself being carried aloft to other spheres, I will have no regrets, no sense that it is too soon to take that ascent.

     "But I will truly have the sense, as I do this night in the heart of the Great Divine Director, that all past records of my former self may be rolled up as a scroll, put to the torch, for I AM WHO I AM. I AM in the heart of the great blue causal body. I AM the implementation of God's will through the extension of the light rays of the Great Divine Director."

     Thus, beloved, I will tell you this cosmic secret - every desire of yourself which is legitimate as the blue-fire sun of your being, your lawful right to integrity and individuality, every such desire that is really a part of you and the Real You will always relate to the divine plan and the vast matrix of the goal of the Great White Brotherhood.

     The circle of Community is drawn and it is the mighty blue sphere. Now know this - somewhere in the service of the Great White Brotherhood you can balance 100 percent of your karma. You can fulfill your fiery destiny and have all the real desires that you thought you had to put aside in a sense of martyrdom and false denial of self. This is not the true path.

     When you come to those desires inconsistent in every way to the goal and the divine design of the Great White Brotherhood as you know it, then comes the hour, beloved, when you indeed must decide to pray fervently before the heart of the Blessed Virgin and ask that this desire be removed from you by cosmic surgery, as the incision of the surgeon removes a tumor that suddenly appears and has no reason for being.

     Beloved ones, tumors benign and malignant are the sign of wrong desire unmanifest, festering, fed and nourished by human creation suppressed. Bear well my Teaching. For the cosmic flow between you and the great blue causal body of cosmos always flushes out those nuclei suns of wrong desire that ultimately become growths in the astral body, robbing you of etheric power and sacred fire, taking from your crystal cord and therefore depriving you of the energy that could make of your heart a cosmic heart and of your heartbeat a cosmic heartbeat.

     Thus, if there be not flow because you are possessive of old wants and desires to possess people and things and power and money and so forth, this is the key, then, to an unclear temple - crosscurrents, miscurrents and misdirections to life where you may contain splinters of ten thousand former desires and your life is nothing but a sea of chaos, directionless, going a few steps here and a few steps there but never concentrating. For it is impossible to concentrate one's forces if one contains these grains and granules of desires that have been somehow dissipated and scattered through the aura.

     If you would write to the Karmic Board, write for this - the prayer that all this debris of desiring this and that be consumed by the sacred fire and that you may have goal-fitting for goals you have set to which you can tether all of your forces with total commitment without dissolution.

     Beloved ones, the individual on the Path who has a one-pointedness of purpose is truly approaching the Divine Wholeness. And those with psychological problems are always they who have wells of untransmuted desires that divide them and also build momentums and walls of hatred and despite and fear, all directed against the central moving force of the universe, whom they perceive to be antagonistic and not fulfilling their every wish. Tyrants are these, with a split personality split by split desires, always desiring to control the absolute center of the causal body of the Great Divine Director.

     This is why those who walk in the power and aura and mantle of the first ray of the will of God are so despised by the powers that be of this world. For they cannot control them, they cannot defeat them! They can do nothing with the first-ray chela of El Morya and myself and Archangel Michael and Hercules and Amazonia. There is nothing to be done with a chela of the will of God who is become this shaft of blue flame, this extension of the Great Divine Director's blue causal body, this shaft of the will of God, this pillar of fire, an electrode in the earth such as Hercules has placed and Serapis Bey has brought.5

     Understand, beloved, that the God-goals of the Great White Brotherhood are the white-fire sun. In Alpha and Omega these are one. May you resolve, then, in these hours and year to come all of your desirings here below as above.

     My prayer for you, beloved, is may your blue-fire/white-fire suns be one where you are. Then there will be no journeying, for Spirit/Matter cosmos will be where I AM THAT I AM in you. And you will know God-free being anywhere and everywhere always and always and always because you have become the Alpha to Omega sun of flaming God-desire!

     Oh, I commend you to the heart of the Buddha, Gautama.

     "The Summit Lighthouse Sheds its Radiance O'er All the World to Manifest as Pearls of Wisdom"

     This dictation by the Great Divine Director was delivered through the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on New Year's Eve, December 31, 1985, during the 5-day New Year's conference, Teachings from the Mystery School, held at Camelot.

3 Before the dictation the congregation meditated on two slides of the Great Divine Director. The first depicts him with long golden hair and blue eyes, a flame upon his forehead and a ray of white light emanating from his third eye. At his throat is a luminous white sunlike disc; at his heart is a six-pointed white star from which is projected a golden beam of light. He is wearing a golden robe girded by his bejeweled blue belt and radiates an aura of white lightning against a Mother-of-the-World blue background. The second slide portrays the Great Divine Director surrounded by the concentric spheres of the causal body of the Cosmic Christ - a thoughtform which may be used to visualize the abiding Presence of the Holy Christ Self overshadowing and one with the lower self.
