A Message of Self-Transcendence by Love
In every beating heart of Keeper of the Flame I AM there. I am bathing with violet flame, giving the unguent of the Seventh Ray for the expansion of heart capacity, for life, for energy, for spirit - for Love.
The capacity of the heart, then, is our consideration as we the members of the Karmic Board and hierarchs of Aquarius gather to consider how in every direction we might add unto the stature of the soul and the inner Buddha.
Upon the brow let the image of Amitabha appear. Sons and daughters of the Buddha are ye. Buddha, indeed the name of God given unto his Sons who have so realized the bodhi of his enlightenment.
Hearts constricted where the room is narrow and the expanse of consciousness is not cannot contain the mind of Buddha, for the foundation of that mind is compassion. The lessons of life so key are the lessons of divine love, human love. Loving oneself may be the beginning, beloved, but let us understand, one must first love the True Self in order to appreciate the expression of the soul in the process of becoming that Self. One loves as love is and as love does become, even as the seed contains the full flower.
It is the narrowness of Love's expression, even in the field of religion itself, that therefore does so limit the individual's chalice of the mind of God. This is the primary concern of the Lords of Karma this day. For given these confining cups of consciousness, we are not able to project upon the graph even of the immediate future a major change in world thought.
So convinced are the people that their leaders in Church and State can be trusted, that they are right, that they know more than they do, that they [the people] have ceased to meditate within their hearts. And their teachers do not teach them, of course, that they might learn all things from the inner voice. Thus, though they think they are wise, they repeat only clichés, only what someone else has said, and somehow by the very repetition [they believe] it is so.
There is not the ability to discern or to dissect thought. There is not the ability objectively to ponder knowledge, to determine if that knowledge is empirical, if it is the fruit of experience or if it is only belief with no support or undergirding from those who ought to be the acknowledged authorities.
Surely the authorities are the Ascended Masters and the Great Lights and revolutionaries who have carried the God Flame. But instead it is as though it were two and a half million years ago, four million years ago, and only lately had the quasi-brilliance of fallen angels put upon an ignorant humanity, a gullible child-man, fictitious rules, regulations, interpretations, all designed to achieve an end: manipulation of behavior, population, and subservience to a class of individuals who have called themselves gods and expect to be treated royally.
I am well aware that I am addressing this day those who have come out of the grips of these very ones who have bound you for aeons. With you, then, we may proceed along the lines of independent thought. I am also well aware that I speak to those who have developed a heart flame, who have sensitivity to higher vibration, who know the difference between the vibration of a flying saucer and the living Gautama Buddha, those who understand the path of metallic mechanization man1 throughout the universes and those who understand a path of discipleship that does lead unto that internalization of the God Flame. Few there be such as yourselves.
So note and so understand that with the getting of the understanding, there must be a corresponding confirmation by the inner experience of the heart. There is a mistaken idea, beloved, that the heart is always true, that the heart always knows. The heart is simply another organ and means of expression, and the heart chakra has also been polluted. Thus, you see, those momentums of human sympathy that are not the essence of the nectar of the divine compassion do lead one astray into incorrect decisions.2
Thus, one must call for the purification of the heart and do so diligently. And in the very next service that does provide opportunity we so desire to participate with you in Saint Germain's second heart meditation.3 For, beloved, out of the heart are the issues of life.4
Consider, then, the twelve petals of the heart chakra as representing twelve hierarchies of the sun. Just as [it is] in your astrology and in your karma, so it is repeated in this heart that petal by petal there is the vibration of that remaining karma under each of those hierarchies and the remaining initiations which must be taken by your soul.5 Thus, you see, the heart's expression can be no greater than the full expression of the soul in the present state of development.
Now, it is the threefold flame of your Holy Christ Self in balance and expanded that does give you the true and accurate heart reading that you ought to follow.6 Thus, beloved ones, take care when making decisions to give the necessary ritual of invocations and prayers and decrees, writing your letters to the Karmic Board, who do afford you so very much support.
It is necessary to enter in, then, to the heart meditation whereby the human heart, with [its] human potential and level of evolution, is set aside and you do enter the heart of your Holy Christ Self. Then the question becomes, beloved, whether in your heart and soul and being, whether in your will you can decide to make a decision to live your life according to the standard and the wisdom of the Holy Christ Self, your True Self, or [whether] you will say, "It is too hard for me. I cannot adapt to this solution. After all, I am only human. Therefore I will live after my human planning while I think about this [for] a while or while I evolve."
Understand, beloved, that you will spend many rounds going round and round the petals of the heart chakra [but you will] not experience self-transcendence if you always choose the low road of present capacity rather than make your decisions based on the high road of anticipated and vowed attainment.
When you determine, then, that you will fill in the gap of the lesser manifestation by drawing down the fullness of your Christ Self, you will be able to live with the decisions you make wherein you compel yourself to reach far beyond your immediate grasp, knowing that you have the Holy Spirit as Teacher and Comforter, [that] you have the Christ Self as Minister and Rabbi, [that] you have the Mighty God Presence [who] does save you to the uttermost and therefore [does save you] to declare:
"I can and I shall and I will, by the grace of my Saviour, enter in, then, to those rooms of consciousness that will allow me to expand this narrow room and blossom and realize the fragrance of the bowers of my Tree of Life all full of pink blossoms in springtime."
Thus, beloved, there are some who will only decide7 - [indeed they cannot do otherwise,] based on the immediacy of their own mechanization man - [at] the level to which they have achieved somewhat of a computerized order out of the chaos of [the human] creation itself. And thus they are very realistic. Homo sapiens has so become self-sufficient, aware of limitation, entirely tolerant of its condition, desire and needs and wants. Thus, the adaptability and adjustability to oneself is very complete.
Indeed, it is the initiates on the Path who are the ones who are discontent, who are the lonely ones, and who are never for a moment satisfied with their present condition. These expect and accept that situation as a given. They understand that life is an arduous climb and that life leading to the ascension, [the goal] toward which this conference is designed to prepare you, is life that must be lived like no ordinary life.
Knowing the goal, seeing the face of the Shining One above you, knowing of your brothers and sisters beyond, knowing that behind you is completion and that other worlds attend your coming, you can live with the idea that you are different from the norm of the evolution of the given planetary home where you have been residing.
Thus, their psychology is not yours. Their wisdom is not yours. What works for them will not work for you. In fact, you will be miserable, truly in misery if you desire to live as such as these. Blessed ones, all of us who have taken our leave of planet earth in the ritual of the ascension have recognized ourselves as misfits prior to our ascension. And so did our peers so recognize [us].
The wonder of Community, beloved, is that hearts with similar goals and determination may recognize in one another a friendship and a spirit of all ages. The road is not so lonely, although each one in his own heart is indeed alone with Sanat Kumara, with inner decisions, with the pains of letting go and perhaps the trepidation in embracing such a grand and noble sphere as the ultimate Presence of the Great White Brotherhood.
Know, then, beloved, that if you desire to span the gap between present attainment and possibility and future realization, you must take the steps forward before you are ready. If you are ready, it is too late. You have already passed [up] the initiation for which you are ready. To see the right, to know the right and to do the right because you believe that God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit and the Divine Mother will assist you in filling in that span of time and space between present and future accomplishment, this, then, is the secret of the wise ones.
I trust, then, that this explanation will resolve many a dilemma for you. I trust you will also come into the very clear understanding that this is the principle of the vow taken. Recognizing one's weaknesses, one's propensity to err, to go astray, to be less determined when the going gets tough than [one was] in the moment of decision, [then,] one does go before the altar of God. One does implore and say:
O my God, if thou wilt have me, if thou wilt hold me, I desire to transcend this lesser self, especially in this area of my timidity, my withdrawnness, my failure to leap forward and seize a torch or a task that must be done. O God, in thy name and by thy grace, I vow to do and be better and to do now this thing. O Lord, help me. Help me to fulfill it.
Blessed ones, angel ministrants do come and they exist; for God has created them solely to reinforce the Word of the Son of God on earth! For they know the forces of the anti-Word that will assail that firm, resolute decision that one finds at the altar or in the mountain of God which tends to become diluted in the marketplace of illusions.
So, beloved, I will tell you what has impelled us to reach beyond our ability, and I speak of all the ascended hosts. It is because we saw a need so great and had such compassion for the one who had that need and saw that none other stood by to help that one, none other would come if we did not extend the hand. In that moment, beloved, Love itself supplied the intensity, the fire whereby we could leap to the rescue, to the side of [one in distress], or to enter some course of study that we might be proficient in knowledge that was needed.
This process, then, this love that could forget itself and leap to save a life, this, beloved, was the opening for the great fire of the Holy Spirit to enter the heart, to dissolve recalcitrance there, to melt the impediments to those twelve petals and their unique vibration, to take from us hardness of heart, physical encrustations, disease, fear, doubt, records of death. All of these could vanish in the ardor of service. And in our desiring to do well we attracted the forces of Nature and heaven to assist us in doing well. In our determination to be only God-victorious we attracted God-victory to ourselves.
Thus faint and trembling hearts, beloved, are so because they are weakened in their own self-concerns and self-pity. The strong heart, the virtuous heart, then, is born in that very process when all of God and all of life and all of soul and spirit within oneself simply leaps forward to rescue another part of life. Through the process of such initiation meted out to all as opportunity on the Path of the Ruby Ray, you mount the spiral from this plane to the plane of Holy Christ Selfhood. In so doing you create a magnet here below impelling the descent of your Christhood into this form. And so you walk the earth day by day with greater anointing.
Blessed ones, those who identify with their mortality and their mortal selves and wants are not able to comprehend this message of transcendence. They are incapable of entering in.
What, then, can they do to inherit immortal life? This I tell you, beloved, these require the religion of ritual. And if they can have an objective self-assessment and heed the ritual given by the great Gurus of all time, they may increase day by day and thus arrive at the point of sufficiency of heart development to leap to the next dimension of being.
These have profound need of the Master-disciple, or the Guru-chela, relationship. Many of these hearts participate actively, devoutly in the world's major religions today. And by consistency of service and devotion, even where so many truths are missing, they are forging a oneness with the Ascended Master of their choice or a saint or the Father himself; and therefore they can make progress.
Now, then, you take ancient souls who [have] come down [through the religious traditions of East and West], who have been through all of these religions, [who] know in their beings the teachings of the Brotherhood and therefore have considerable knowledge, those who mistake their knowledge for attainment - these have an inner rebellion against the living Word or the Presence of the Guru, for they know so much and they prefer an independence outside of any kind of commitment that might find them one day at the point of having to be obedient to one of our precepts of Love [spoken to them by one of our emissaries of Love] which would hamper their style, limit their self-expression.
Thus, this fear, fear of Love and Love's demand for obedience unto the call of Love, does put many souls upon earth outside of the pale of one course of religion or another whereby they should make ongoing and steadfast progress. [They are] almost between two worlds, having been around too many gurus in the past, having fallen for the lie of the fallen angels that they knew more than those who have worn the crown of the bodhisattva.
Blessed ones, indeed this is a dilemma for the Lords of Karma. For no matter where we place these individuals in embodiment they manage to identify themselves as superior to others in things secular and spiritual. They consider simple religion, where there is much merit in devotion, [to be] childish and they consider that those who give obedience to such great hierarchs as Sanat Kumara, Jesus Christ, are in their beings at the level of not having the inner independence or the inner mastery to "be their own master." Thus, it is almost with pity that they look upon those [such as you] who cherish our words and seek to embody them.
I counsel you, then, beloved, for the sake of these as well as for the sake of the young souls in organized religion, that the path of your chelaship under the Ascended Masters so evince to the world the peace, the equanimity, the simplicity, the humility and [the] levels of self-mastery, [with] kindness abounding, deep concern and care for others and [that] wisdom which when spoken is literally charged with our Presence and our Holy Spirit that they become encouraged and desirous by your example to know the intimate love of this Guru-chela relationship.
To see in your lives such peace and happiness, such profound love that you have with an Ascended Master, this as example is the final way that we can see to woo the Lightbearers away from their human consciousness and into a path that will prove to them profitable day by day for their soul's liberation.
The complexities of the psychology of this planet are many. Be grateful that you [as chelas of the Ascended Masters] share a common light, a common body of gnosis, that you have common goals, see eye to eye. You may look around you [in this Community] and see many individuals who in the normal course of living you may never have met nor whose acquaintance you might seek. [Therefore,] we desire to see tremendous love and understanding between all types of people, [a mutual love and understanding that is] born out of the gratitude which is the flame of the Goddess of Liberty, wherein you have such appreciation for fellow disciples on the Path who can share and know and understand your trials, your triumphs, burdens and sorrows and the true joy of the divine encounter.
Few there be to whom you can relate [in] such joy. [Cherish them. Cherish one another.]
Therefore, this Community of the Holy Spirit, of the Lightbearers of the world must be strengthened by Love, united by Love, one through Love. For you collectively must face together in your day and [in your] time every encroachment that the world could raise against the path of the Great White Brotherhood, which does represent the confluence of all other streams and paths and is the open door to the ascension and the balance of karma as it has been taught for this age of Aquarius. [It is true that] many have teachings that were relevant centuries ago [and are still relevant, but not all; however,] they do not have the superseding, intervening dispensations [which are absolutely indispensable to your victory in this age and to the victory of planet earth in the Aquarian dispensation].
Considering, then, that the seven o'clock line [of the Cosmic Clock], which is the position of the Goddess of Liberty and the Lords of Karma, which is the position of this flame of God-gratitude, is also the step wherein you enter the initiations of the five secret rays of the Dhyani Buddhas, realize that gratitude itself is the key to the leap for Love. Thus, beloved, you might say that yours is the path of "lover's leap" and that leap into the highest potential of the Holy Christ Self.
May you be goaded by my message, which I convey to you with all tenderness and love. The love which the ascended Hierarchy does feel for this Community worldwide is accentuated by the very contrast of this Community and our love to the Darkness and dire forebodings that one sees everywhere upon the planet.
Most beloved, I am grateful for the release at this conference of three rosaries, three cassettes which are designed to be given by you in any measure, in any segment.8 Any portion of these tapes that you might recite daily will be received by me with full gratitude and the complement of gratitude of all of the Lords of Karma, for thereby you give us entrée into all the world, not only of Lightbearers but truly of a suffering humanity.
I rejoice to be with you on the way and I rejoice that the children of the Far East might receive these tapes by your means as quickly as possible. Blessed ones, so many are profoundly devout, one with the heart of Buddha and myself. They need the fresh breath of Aquarius. They need these mantras. They are burdened by the regimes and the wars that have torn through the East.
O beloved heart, think of Vietnam, Cambodia and the records of Mother China even in the last fifty years. Blessed hearts, one cannot even contain the conception of the awful murder, the desecration of war upon these peoples. It is indeed the force of anti-Buddha moving against them.
These blessed hearts, these sweet souls, many of whom you have become acquainted with in the cities of the West where they have migrated, have such a tenderness for me and my flame. They have such strength and ability to self-discipline and self-efface that where so many in the West, surfeited in their materialism, their pleasure, their egocentricity, will pass by this offering, it is these sweet hearts of the East who shall embrace it. And thus you will find that the cosmic reinforcements who shall champion the cause of the Great White Brotherhood will be [called out] from among them.
The very sound of the mantra and your determined effort to chant in Chinese shall be, I promise you, the bond of love and of mutual respect that shall be the sign unto them that you do respect their culture, their religion, their gods and therefore themselves. From nowhere else in the West does there come such a sense of allegiance and reverence for the peoples of the East than in your very chanting of my mantras and vows.
Know this, then, beloved, that there is a world of Lightbearers unreached and untapped. As all become one you shall see that no longer shall the fallen ones in Church or State dominate the comings and goings of the people of God in any nation, their right to be free, to worship as they choose, to speak what they think, to enjoy whatever patch of earth they call their private property, to assemble together without fear or threat, and to publish what is dearest to their hearts and spread it abroad in the land.
The free movement of the ideas of God in man and man's own ideas shall give to the world the freedom to choose to be or not to be on the path of the bodhisattvas. This is all that I ask, that people shall be free in conscience, in education, in outlook to examine, to consider, to say yea, to say nay, but to decide from the wellspring of fire from within rather than from timeworn tradition that is simply a mere repetition of words.
My beloved, I thank you in this hour for assisting me to assist Saint Germain and the bringing in of the age of Aquarius. I can assure you that all Ascended Masters wait, as it were, with bated breath for the dictations of Gautama Buddha, of Alpha and Omega.
So, beloved, in this hour I seal you from my heart with a concentrated elixir of the violet flame. This energy is so intense that I desire you to memorize and visualize the color of this sari worn9 so that you might see and visualize this elixir concentrated in your physical heart and in the secret chamber of your heart for healing by transmutation.
With the sign of the Dhyani Buddhas, of Sanat Kumara, Lord Gautama, Lord Maitreya, I am and I remain forever Kuan Yin, your Mediatrix of Mercy's Flame.
