Initiations of the Sacred Heart

     Light from the Eternal Christos is mine, beloved, to offer you this night. Therefore, I bid you good evening in this hour of our Lord's Supper. May you be seated in his divine embrace.

     You have called me John the Beloved, and so I AM beloved of him. I come with the message of the Saviour's love that did carry me through every trial and tribulation and all attempts of the same fallen ones to put me to death. Yet he saved me, for he would yet deliver to me the divine revelation that he gave to me on the isle of Patmos.1

     Beloved ones, a long life was mine to know the LORD. And so my life continues in the ascended state, as may your own.

     I come, then, with the comfort of the marriage unto the Lamb.2 For truly, beloved, our joy and our love is full - not in this world but only as this world becomes a chalice for the flaming Spirit to descend. For only the cloven tongues of fire may quench the thirst of those who hunger for Jesus' love.

     Take, then, the little book of Revelation as it has been expounded to you by us through the Messenger. For those who balance 100 percent of their karma and would do so not only for the ascension but to prepare to meet the dark forces of this world must know that the contents of this book is a step-by-step map to the fulfillment of the LORD's glory.

     And they must also know that the hundred and forty-four thousand3 comprise a Community of the Holy Spirit for whom the tests and initiations so portrayed therein can be faced only as a circle of fire - only as a Community of Light. We have provided, then, as you have joined us in providing, a land where these initiations may be passed by yourselves as one Mystical Body of Light. And so you have been this Light tonight in coming to receive by our hand this bread of the Great White Brotherhood.

     The Communion of the Last Supper celebrated by you is the highest and holiest Communion of all the year. For it is the hour when the Son of God, who is the Messenger of God, does break his Body and release to you by that bread and wine, as it were, an ampule of his Spirit, substance of his very body, in this laying down of the life of that Christ in the Fifteenth Rosary, where that Christhood earned can now become the portion of the many.4 This is the initiation to which we have called our Messenger. And I was also called to that initiation.

     Beloved ones, you are summoned also by the LORD to understand that the mighty steps of the fourteen stations of the cross can be stepped victoriously and lightly. You may bear the burden of personal and planetary karma through the link to the Great White Brotherhood, through the violet flame, through the knowledge of the sacred labor, and through the many, many calls you have given, which have truly held the balance in the earth in this hour.

     Forming the Circle of Light to defend the Church Universal and Triumphant with your perpetual calls, you have also given your lives to the defense of freedom in America and the earth. Think not, then, that the victories at hand for this nation have come or would have come without your prayers and continual decrees. Thus, though you assemble for the cause that is so dear to our hearts, archangels take up the light and have used it in many situations.

     The Brotherhood who will speak to you during this conference, the Masters who come, will mention, beloved, how key it is to preserve freedom in Central America and the Caribbean, how very important it is to see through the lies and the rhetoric and the desire for compromise or to stay out of other nations' problems. But I tell you, acting in the name of Christ, your president does know the dangers and the insidious forces of World Communism that enter now through another door - that of Nicaragua.

     We cannot fail to speak of this hour, for it is the hour of the crucifixion of this people and the Lightbearers of Central and South America who themselves must face Darkness at both hands. For to the right and to the left are tyrants that have desired to drink the very blood of the saints, to take the Light of the Lightbearers. Who will stand at the side of the freedom fighters, beloved ones?

     Thus, in many nations they are abandoned by both sides of the world conspiracy of the fallen angels. Therefore, let this sanctuary consecrated to Archangel Michael be the home of Light of all who keep the flame of freedom in their nations despite their betrayal in many instances by both Church and State alike. Beloved, the serpents come in many disguises, but the end result is the destruction of life and the taking away of freedom and private industry and individuality and enterprise.

     Beloved hearts, remember, then, that as you walk through the valley of the shadow of death,5 stepping through the initiations preplanned through the Book of Revelation, no thing can come unto thee6 except it is allowed by the archangels, by the LORD Christ, and by the Almighty One - be it personal or planetary karma or the testing of the soul. Run to greet the knock on the door, and so be prepared always for Christ or Antichrist.

     Prepared by the initiations of Maitreya and the Teachings of Jesus Christ, you will understand that it is the weaving of the Sacred Heart that your beloved Mother Mary would teach you. The Sacred Heart of Jesus must become thine own. Whatever is necessary, the heart must grow and expand - a chalice of fire prepared again and again for the next challenge that Christ would hurl through you to the world and that the world will most surely hurl back to you according to their rules and the games of treachery that they play.

     Beloved ones, always remember that it is how you fare in the courts of heaven, how you succeed in the testing of your soul that counts. It is the very ritual of submission to the will of God, submission as Jesus taught us, that raises and elevates the soul to a new dominion and a new realization that to have the Christ as friend and the Christed One as one's champion is worth far more than to have friends of this world and the courting of the powers that be for favors. Blessed ones, let us seek a higher crown and be not now on that divergent path to please both heaven and earth.

     We come again, the mystics of all ages of East and West. We come with a holy fire. We come to minister to you who desire the kingdom of God and his righteousness7 above all these things. And no matter how mighty or loud or how lying the Liar can be, what is truly being accomplished is the internalization of the Light of the Sacred Heart.

     Our goal is for each and every one of you to be a chalice overflowing with the Love and the healing Light, that we might send you to those already chosen. You cannot walk where we have not walked. And where e'er you go, angels go before you.

     May your seeking and finding of Love truly be for the purging Light, for its purifying action, always seeking the lessons to be learned by the circumstances in which God has placed you, to which he has led you - not always for your pleasure, but surely that you might find, finally, the weakest link in your armour, the least studied text or lesson, the very one and then again a few, of the lessons lost that must be gained.

     For we would send to you, beloved, multitudes of souls. And by your experience - not always your successes but by your mistakes and errors and failures, learning in life itself - you might have a compassion that wells from the very depth of your being and soul, from the profoundness of your own Christed heart, from the necessity of having had to expand that threefold flame and then to expand it again. For thy brother hath need of thee - thy sister, thy mother, and the tenderest child held in arm.

     Thus, the crystal fire mist is needed upon earth, and its crystallization is in your heart. Nothing is so precious as the Sacred Heart. The Sacred Heart, beloved, must be sought beyond all the avenues and byways and detours set by maya or illusion or perhaps conspiracy itself.

     Do you not marvel and in a sense make merry when you see them hurry and scurry, supposedly unbeknownst to yourselves, as they plot this or that, thinking to catch you unawares? Is it not so that they have always done this? And have we not also won our victories as the prophets did, persecuted and driven, mocked and scorned, imprisoned?8

     Yet the fervor of God in them was this - that his Spirit came unto them, that it was a fire that could not be contained, could never be ashamed, could not retreat but must fulfill itself through the one upon whom it descended. It is the Spirit that will take the prophet hither and yon where the prophet may know not.

     Beloved hearts, seek to be anointed of this Spirit. Welcome the disturbance in your life. Welcome the uprooting - to be tossed, to be tumbled, to be pummeled, to pass through the fire, to be prepared. Always it is the Sacred Heart that is needed. Thus, to the prophets it was given also for the building of their own Christhood.

     When you accept the calling of the LORD Sanat Kumara and you love the path of the ruby ray with all your heart, do not be surprised, come what may - angels in disguise, devils to tempt you. For the whole panoply of evolution from hell to heaven will pass before you ere you take your leave of this life.

     It is important in moments of duress and waiting and watching the next move of those who seemingly hold thy life in their hands to be philosophical and to dwell upon the infinite Light, the absolute caring of the all-knowing God that has never failed to comfort - to remember Jesus in the hour when he chose rather to face the spiritually wicked and the fallen ones than to retreat to the mountains as he could so easily have done, or to go here or there across the face of the earth. So he could have disappeared from their sight as easily in the hour of the Last Supper as he did in the hour of his ascension.

     Thus, there is a choice that is made by every son of God to greet that fiery destiny and to know the fearlessness of the LORD Christ. Thus, let the world come. Thus, let Elohim come. Thy part is to ready the Sacred Heart. The Sacred Heart is a mighty shield. It is His presence in thee.

     The Saviour lives in those whose hearts are made sacred by that obedient love, by that sharing, by the intense pulling upon the great sphere of God [in order] that the Light might increase and increase. For so many have need, and the Sacred Heart, the consciousness of Christ all of its own, desires only to feed and to feed again and to feed the lambs of God.

     Thus, pray, then, that the LORD God Almighty shall not find thee wanting. For though the courts of this world may praise or condemn, though they may send to prison those who have committed no crime and free those who have, what matters, beloved, is the hour-by-hour benediction of the face of Christ. To know that you can look into the eyes of God in perfect purity of conscience and mind and soul - this is the greatest gift. This is the greatest peace. And when you have it, what disposition they make of the body of thyself is certainly not central to life and cannot in any way detract from thy perfect meditation upon him.

     Thus, it is well to remember that the only one who does hold thy life is Him. The LORD Christ does hold thy life. The LORD God is thine own. And thou art his, and unto him thy life does belong.

     Thus, with all things and with all of thy getting and all of thy doings, remember that beyond the grave and the injustices of the world, thou in thy Sacred Heart shall endure forever and forever and forever in the kingdoms of our God.

     Thus, beloved, let us move on with the LORD Christ in his passion. For it is well to enter now that Garden with him and to remember that he did not go there before he had washed our feet and given to us the initiations not recorded which had to do with the transfer of a portion of his mantle after Judas went out to carry out his own role.

     Thus, beloved, as it is recorded in scripture, it was given to us, therefore, the assignment for the judging of the twelve tribes and also of the fallen angels.9 As the Lord has come to you with his call "They Shall Not Pass!" so remember, the true meaning of the Last Supper's Communion is this transfer of that portion of the Lamb of God whereby the Son does descend into thy temple. And the Son of God and only that Son therefore bears the burden of Light10 in calling forth the just judgments of Almighty God in the earth.

     Each year as the cycles turn and you prepare yourselves for this holy night, remember thou canst not receive that which thou hast not earned. And the Light11 that is thine to retain is the cumulative Light invoked from thy causal body and the LORD God Almighty.

     Year by year, then, increase the internalization of the Word and look to the day of the Son's appearing and the Word incarnate where the I AM THAT I AM is in you. For one day you shall know what it is to have thy Christ in thy temple and not leave thee and not be separate from thee.

     Thus, intimations of thy Christhood do come, but the world has its pulls, its karma, and its condemnation. Go not after any of it but seek the prize and remember thou hast only one home. It is the altar of the living temple. It is the altar of the Sacred Heart and the flame of the ark of the covenant. Thus, run to the altar and know the place where thou shalt find the Sacred Heart - even as the living Light is thy Home and thy Love.

     In the sweetest love of Jesus, who knew every moment of this hour, I say, Watch and pray. Watch the movements of the LORD Christ in your midst, in your heart, in his passion two thousand years ago, in your Messenger, and in this Church Universal and Triumphant. And take his lead and his call and his beckon and lean upon his bosom, for there you will hear the mighty heartbeat of God, the sacred-fire pulsation.

     Divine Mother, Eternal Christ, oh, we are one in the perfection of thy Light!

     I increase in you now the Holy Spirit as I send to you this Light. I and my Saviour are One. And I and the Mother are One.

     O blessed Mary, now complete this hour. Heart of the Holy Church, bless them, for they have come and they are thine own and they know thy Immaculate Heart is the key to their consummate path in the ruby ray.

     O beloved, all of our love, the love of the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood, is with you. And truly our love is great enough to hold this Church Universal and Triumphant of our Lord eternally victorious in the Light!

     As you take your rest this night, angels of Uriel come to take you to the temple of Jesus over the Holy Land. May you gather there and truly know with him in that Upper Room in the etheric octave the profound mysteries of Christos connected with the cosmic cross of white fire.

     In His name, let us serve together now and forever, Amen.

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

     This dictation by John the Beloved was delivered through the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Holy Thursday, March 27, 1986, during the 5-day Easter conference, Conclave of the Friends of Christ, held at Camelot, Los Angeles County, California, USA. During the service before the dictation, the Messenger read on the topics of the Second Coming of Christ and the judgment of the nations; the chief priests and scribes consulting to put Jesus to death; the anointing of Jesus with precious ointment; the Last Supper and the washing of the disciples' feet; the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane; and the betrayal and arrest of Jesus, in Matthew 25:31-46; 26:1-19; John 13:1-21; and Matthew 26:22-75. At the request of Jesus, the Vicar of Christ served the congregation Holy Communion in commemoration of the Last Supper.

     Prayer to the Master of Life

     In the name of the Light of God that never fails,
I call unto the Father through the Son Jesus Christ.
Intensify thy Light in our hearts that we might experience
The fullness of this Passion Week with thee, O Lord.
In the name of Mother Mary, deliver to us now thy Holy Spirit,
The full victory of thy resurrection
Through this trial, through this betrayal.
Beloved Jesus, let us rise with thee in the Spirit of the Resurrection
To the fullness of the ascension in the Light.
We are grateful, O Master -
Master of Life and of universes unborn,
Thou Universal Christ incarnate -
For thy example forever and forever.
Walk with us, then, in the garden of life,
Parting veils from glory unto glory
Until indeed we sup with thee anew in our Father's kingdom.
We are grateful for thyself as the Lamb on Mount Sion.
We are grateful for thy Person
As Saviour, Comforter, Healer, Burden-Bearer,
And at last the Judge who sitteth at the right hand of God,
Dividing the way of the Tree of Life with our Father.
O Lord, come into our temple.
Let us sup with thee in this hour and know thy walk through this earth
Until all of thy children are one in thy heart
And thy sons and thy daughters glorified with thee.
Go before each one gathered here, O God.
For these Keepers of the Flame will go forth to their cities and towns,
To their domains to meet the challenges which thou didst face.
Strengthen them, encourage them, give them thy Life.
As thou hast succored me and my own, O Lord, give to them
The strength also for the full victory of the cosmic cross of white fire.
O Angels of the Resurrection, Angels of the Cosmic Cross of White Fire,
Now intensify in our hearts the fullness of his cup
As we drink all of it, and his Body.
For all mine are thine, all thine are mine.
Thus the Father and the Son include us in their wholeness.
And therefore, we celebrate this Communion, above all else,
To know thee as thou art, to know that because thou art, I AM:
To know the true Oneness.
More than this, we cannot ask, O God.
And therefore, we commend our spirits unto thy keeping
For the victory of Love here and now and universes without end.
In the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, and the Mother, Amen.


Footnotes:

1 According to a tradition confirmed by Tertullian and Jerome, John was seized during the persecution of Christians under Domitian in A.D. 95. He was taken from Ephesus to Rome and thrown into a caldron of boiling oil, whence he emerged miraculously unscathed. He was subsequently banished to the island of Patmos where he received and recorded the Book of Revelation. It is believed that John spent his last years at Ephesus and died there past the age of ninety. In 1945, the Apocryphon of John (or The Secret Book of John), describing the creation, fall, and salvation of humanity, was unearthed among a collection of Gnostic texts near Nag Hammadi, Egypt.
