The Call to the Path of the Ascension
Keepers of the Flame of My Life on Earth,
I salute you in this hour of my Victory. It is a renewed victory of the life everlasting now increasing its light upon the altar of your heart.
Beloved, not only have I called you but I AM the Call. Not only am I the living Christ but I AM in the Christ of all.
Therefore, O people of Light, receive me in this hour as I have received you, as I am receiving you, as I am indeed entering your life if you will respond to my Call in a more than ordinary way. For I am sent by the Father for the quickening now of ten thousand saints in the City Foursquare that I mark as North America.
Blessed hearts, it is to these states and nations of the lost tribes regathered that I come, even as I sent my apostles to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
You have descended from [the] All that is Real. Now defend [the] All that is Real. For this place, North America, is a land promised to you long ago which through my heart, called the Sacred Heart by certain of the Christian devotees, has been consecrated unto the path of the ascension.
Therefore, it is altogether fitting that in this city, where some disciples of mine have invited this Messenger to speak, I should tell you in this moment of the quickening of your own ascension through my own that the path unto the seed of Light, the path which is initiatic in nature, is one that can be fulfilled upon this continent because, beloved, there are certain retreats in the heaven-world, called the etheric octave, where there is a consecration of that ascension flame and path, which can be entered into only by Love.
Therefore, consider the love of John my beloved for the Light that I bore. Not John alone but the celebration of this love betwixt thee and me, beloved, is taking place daily if you will only appreciate and contain the sense of self-worth whereby truly the gold of the divine image and the soul ascending is worthy of the intimate relationship with my heart.
Beloved, there have been many approaches to Christianity and to religion, but it is only by the path of Love that thou mayest enter in. When to this Love there is added Wisdom and the joy in self-givingness unto the self-emptying unto the Self, infilling and fulfilling - blessed ones, this Love that intensifies as the burning of the heart, consuming the dross and nonsensical non-self-awareness, does expand and expand until the whole of self and being is enveloped and engulfed with the living presence of Love!
And in this Love tryst, beloved, can you determine who is thy Christ and my Christ? Beloved, I and my Father are one, I and my disciple are one. When you merge with that Christ, lo, I AM with you alway, even unto the end of this age and all ages to come.
Thus, beloved, very near to this city, encompassing a large area, is the retreat of the mighty Archangels of Love, Chamuel and Charity. O beloved, their retreat over St. Louis expands in a very wide dimension.
The Archangels are teachers of Christhood par excellence. And when you have done visiting even the retreats of the Lords of the Seven Rays may you perchance be invited to a series of studies in the retreats of the Archangels. This, beloved, is my prayer unto the Father, who has responded by saying, "My Son, let them prove themselves with thy brothers, the Seven Masters of Light, and then they shall truly know the divine interchange with Archangels."
So, beloved, rejoice that not alone Archangel Michael, who has called you in his service, but all of the Seven may one day host you in their retreats for the accelerated initiations of Life unto eternity. This retreat, then, of Chamuel and Charity is one of a number of retreats in the etheric octave over North America.
Blessed hearts, realize of this nation, the United States, of this Dominion of Canada, that each one is passing through serious initiations on the path of Love, the path of the internalization of the Holy Spirit: of Love, then, that becomes the sharper-than-the-two-edged sword. Love, then, that becomes the scepter that turns back all anti-Love.
Love, then, is itself the defense of Freedom and of Peace. Love is the giving of oneself. Thus, Charity - by whose name the very virtue is derived - must serve those who are becoming the compassionate ones, the students of the Christ and the Buddha, and the Buddha as Christ.
Thus, my beloved, there is a focus of Paul the Venetian, the Lord of the Third Ray, anchored firmly over the city of Washington, D.C. There is the great retreat of Heros and Amora, Elohim of the Third Ray, over Canada at Winnipeg. Blessed hearts, these are mighty temples. Many of you here have already journeyed there while your bodies have slept.
Blessed hearts, because you are ongoing students of the inner mysteries, you have brought back from this inner temple experience an awareness of what it means to say, "Love is the fulfilling of the Law." It is the whole Law, beloved. But even the heart chakra must be purified, for human love does reside there. And Divine Love little by little does displace it until such Divine Love appears, O beloved, that the white fire must also descend.
Angels of the cosmic cross of white fire, I, Jesus, mark the sign of the cross over this North America, that by the Ruby Ray and by the white fire my Body and my Blood might infuse the Lightbearers for the protection of a path that is to be forged and won and for the peace of the heart.
Blessed ones, over the state of Arizona there is a temple of Eriel of the Light and there is the retreat of my beloved John. These retreats are ancient; they have not suddenly appeared. There are retreats all over the world, but I have chosen to speak to you on this day of the commemoration of my ascension of those retreats in North America that facilitate a path that some must win, a path of Divine Love.
Love, then, is most misunderstood and misqualified. For when the love of God comes upon an individual who has not yet pursued a path, that love may become qualified with human emotion and concepts of love that are not the fullness of the cup that I offer.
Greater love than this hath no man, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Blessed ones, this is not speaking of death but of a vibrant life lived - lived truly to convey the fire of my heart to all. This is the meaning of being a disciple who is called apostle, instrument and messenger of Light, conveyer of that Light, beloved.
So too, beloved, learn the mystery of Love. Even the sign of the Statue of Liberty points to a temple of light of a Divine Mother, a being who has embodied and ensouled the flame of Liberty and out of Love does keep that flame for all who make their way to this continent.
For, beloved, you must understand that to enter this land is to enter a path that can culminate in the soul's ascension. Even the concepts of freedom and of free enterprise, all of these, beloved, bespeak the initiations of the abundant Life whereby each individual with maximum independence and freedom may prove himself in God, and in Christ reprove the lesser self and learn daily the wisdom of the heart.
Therefore, beloved, understand that though the Royal Teton Retreat at the site of the Grand Teton is celebrated as a temple of Wisdom, truly all who have ascended have ascended through Love, serve the seven rays in Love, teach in Love, give in Love, initiate in Love. Love may be a chastening fire that does hasten the soul's departure from error and illusion.
Thus, without Love as a chastening there is no true compassion. Let the teacher be firm yet yielding, tolerant yet stern when pointing to the immutable Law which is the true and only salvation. Salvation through the Law of God, beloved, may be achieved by entering into and embracing the mercy as well as the justice of that Law.
Thus, you understand the great need of humanity for the Mediator, the Intercessor, the Advocate. This Person of God who does defend those who have gone out of the Way, who does plead before the courts of heaven for mercy unto the ignorant, this Person, beloved, is the Universal Christ that I AM, that you are or shall become, whose Presence just above you may descend as your vibrations are elevated, resurrected, accelerated by the great science of the spoken Word which we teach.
Understand, beloved, that the meaning of the office of World Teacher which I bear and share with my beloved Francis is to be that Intercessor, to bring enlightenment as well as comfort, that those who are in Darkness may see a Light, and a Great Light, and walk in it.
I call to you to be world teachers. I call to you to understand - because you have understanding, because you have an inner gnosis, because you have walked with me for centuries - the Reality, beloved, that this is the hour to claim the mantle of Mediator, to claim the mantle here below of your Holy Christ Self and to take your stand through prayer and invocation, through dynamic decrees to the Father, for grace and mercy and light to flood this North America and the entire earth to contact those of greatest Light and to transfer to them even the sacred fire of the Word, that there might be here below an increased manifestation of Light to hold the balance for the Darkness that shall surely come upon this earth unless a people swiftly turn to the inner Light and unless millions, beloved, come to the realization of the God who is within as well as the God who is in his heaven.
Blessed hearts, I have come, then, to make a plea to you and to send my Messenger abroad across this continent for the gathering of ten thousand who will call themselves Keepers of the Flame of Life and who will understand that I, Jesus, have called them. For I was called by the Father, by the servant-Sons, by Saint Germain and the hosts of heaven to establish a teaching, a path and even the Keepers of the Flame Fraternity, that these lessons might be studied, that the daily decrees might be given, that the Light might be anchored and the Light itself be the Mediator to stand between a people, a world, a continent and their own returning karma.
You have heard it said that the Son of God is come to bear the sins of the world. I AM that avatar for this two-thousand-year cycle, beloved. But the hour is come, beloved, as you have understood it and seen it abroad in the land, when inasmuch as I have borne the sins of the world, or world karma, that the transfer of that karma back to those for whom I have borne it should come to pass.
Understand this law, beloved, and heed this teaching. Forgiveness is the setting aside of karma, or sin, and that setting aside is a period of opportunity. Two thousand years, beloved, has this planet had the opportunity to recognize the Christ of me and of many saints and Masters of East and West who have gone before me.
For I am not alone in heaven as some have thought. But many have ascended by the very same law whereby I was taken down from the cross and did enter the tomb to prove the initiation of the resurrection, that you might also prove this great law of the Spirit of the Resurrection.
Therefore, beloved, understand that in this hour many have internalized greater and lesser measures of my Christhood and their own. And many have turned a deaf ear to the message.
Thus, beloved, the Day of Reckoning that is referred to by the prophets as the Day of Vengeance of our God is the day when that opportunity comes to a conclusion and every man must bear his own burden. (And these words, too, are in scripture.) Thus, the burden of karma is daily being placed, individual by individual, upon the just and the unjust, beloved.
But the grace and the mercy of the Law and of all heavenly hosts and of the Father has been the gift of the Holy Spirit, the gift of the violet flame whereby through the invocation of that violet flame, intensely and daily, that karma descending at a personal and a planetary level may indeed be transmuted, or balanced. This process is by the all-consuming sacred fire of God through the Person of the Holy Spirit. It is, if you will, a baptism by fire.
This purging, beloved, does therefore enable the sons of God in the earth - and all who will heed the message of my brother and friend Saint Germain on the use and application of the violet flame - to accelerate on the path of the ascension by Love, for the violet flame is Love's all-consuming forgiveness.
This beloved brother who was with me as my father Joseph (for so I called him, beloved) has been an adept of the Seventh Ray and of the use of the violet flame for tens of thousands of years and beyond. This has been his calling in God. This is his gift from the Father and his gift to the Father's children.
Understand, then, that in the ongoing cycles of two-thousand-year dispensations, it is the age of Aquarius and of the Seventh Ray that has descended upon earth, meshing, then, with the final decades of Pisces.
Therefore, you will see at this altar our oneness, our oneness as we together assist earth's evolutions to make the transition into an era of freedom, that by freedom's flame that is called the violet flame, souls who yet have karma to balance may not be overcome, may not be struck down by that karma, nor a world itself be destroyed or come to an end. For there be few and then many in this planet who shall hear my voice and his, know the Truth and confirm it in their hearts and call to that violet flame, beloved, unto the victory of individual Christhood and planetary Cosmic Christ awareness!
I, Jesus, preach this message to you, beloved. It is an urgent message. You who have an inner awareness, do not deny the signs of the times, do not deny the rumblings in the earth or my own prophecies written in scriptures already in your hands.
It is the end of an age when there must be an entering in of a new vibration, a new opportunity. And the question is, beloved, Will enough of the Lightbearers in the earth recognize this vibration of the Seventh Ray and realize that it is the key to the conclusion of this two-thousand-year cycle?
Blessed ones, this North America, a place consecrated by Love to the reunion of souls with God, is a place where if the Lightbearers would respond and make the Call, even as I call you this night, there should be established even the white light over a continent to protect it from those calamities of the Four Horsemen, which could indeed appear for want of mediators in the earth.
Understand, beloved, that the mediators who must stand between a people and a planet and their karma must be in physical embodiment. If you will read my words you will find that they say, "As long as I AM in the world, I AM the light of the world."
"As long as I AM in the world ..." Beloved, I AM in the ascended octaves of Light; I AM the Ascended Master Jesus Christ. And I AM in the world only when I AM [the I AM Presence of me, the Christ of me is] in my own, when the temple is prepared, when the Christ Self has been invoked, and when the violet flame has cleansed the four lower bodies to prepare a highway [a tunnel of light] for our God's descent into form.
I desire to come into your temple, beloved, and be in the world. And therefore, when you feel me entering into your house in that Second Coming, understand that you in me and I in you as we are one make the same declaration: "As long as I AM in the world, I AM the light of the world."
Blessed hearts, recognize the Call. Your souls are ancient. It is your hour and the moment of your destiny. Recognize, then, that the Call to be the Divine Mediator must be answered ere the earth changes that must come about take their toll in a cataclysmic way or perhaps in war, even that war prophesied by my Mother at Fátima.
Blessed hearts, the choice is yet to free hearts and free thinkers who will know the winds of Aquarius and be the Keeper of the Flame of Life on earth. Thus, do not fall prey to a sense of predestination or of psychic prognostication wherein you believe all that must happen will happen and there is nothing that you can do to change it. You have not been taught the true meaning of prophecy, which is to show you upon the screen of life what could take place if you do not intercede.
Blessed hearts, what you see in the mind's eye can be canceled out by decision and free will. You do not need to fulfill any thought, feeling or idea that is negative. But, beloved, when you see the projection upon the world screen of that which can easily be calculated by the signs of the times, this, then, must be transmuted because you are seeing a prophecy of karma returning.
Therefore, take the violet flame; invoke it. Call to me and all saints of heaven and all powers of angels to intercede, that the sacred fire might consume planetary karma and Archangel Michael and his legions do battle and bind the fallen angels and evil spirits which would possess, destroy and defile even the souls who are on the path of overcoming.
Blessed ones, some of you have been taught that evil is not real. And indeed it is not real in God. But you cannot deny that there are spoilers in the earth who have wreaked their holocausts upon millions. You cannot deny that in the hearts of some there is a will to do evil.
You must understand that this malintent must be checked by those who know the science of the spoken Word. For the Word itself will swallow up the appearance of evil. Take heed, then, that the appearance and the illusion does not swallow up souls ere they have realized the Truth which you know - that in the absolute sense of the scientific affirmation of being, evil is not real.
Armageddon is yet to be fought by the Archangels and the legions of Light and the Faithful and True and the armies in heaven. Yet, it is your hour to make the Call. He who understands the Call made in the earth unto heaven and the Call of heaven made unto earth will arrive at the nexus where heaven and earth meet in the Divine Call and the Calling.
Beloved, I leave you, then, with this charge: Make your calling and election sure. For millions who yet dwell in ignorance need your intercession. In the name I AM THAT I AM, in the name of Christ of you, I say, Keep the flame!
Now, then, in commemoration of this hour of our oneness, I shall take from the chalice of the Sacred Eucharist the wafer which I now consecrate and through this Messenger I shall place it upon the tongue of those who desire to receive it.
Know, then, that as my light does pass through and charge this body, so I am able, even from the ascended state, to use these chakras [of the Messenger] for the conveyance to a simple substance such as the wafer of an increment of light for thy blessing and thy initiation.
Let my servers serve the wine. Let my Messenger give to you my Bread of Life.
Receive, then, this my Body which is broken for you, that you might know the mystery of a crumb of Life that does become the whole loaf.
I AM in heaven and on earth Jesus the Christ. If you will receive me truly in your heart and temple, I shall remain in earth. It is the Law, beloved. So receive me now.
