The Initiation of the Heart
The Alpha Thrust and the Omega Return
The Psychology and Karma of Child Rearing
Hail to the Chelas of the Will of God!
Hail to the Devotees of the Buddhic Light!
Hail to the Lovers of the Divine Mother!

     So I AM your Gautama and I have returned. Having come in the Alpha Thrust to this city,1 I bear the good tidings of the Omega Return2 whereby I might fasten you, beloved, back to the heart of the point of origin. Thus I came and so I come again. And so I come in order to assess what is and what has been the response to my placing of a focus of the Threefold Flame of my heart over this place.

     Beloved ones of the Light, know, then, and understand as you assess the path of your own lifestream in the year and then some that has passed since my coming [that] all that you have passed through of joy and of the very fervor and ardor of overcoming the not-self of being has been the initiation of the heart. I say this not alone to those who abide here and keep the flame of this city but to all Lightbearers of the world, for the extension of myself into octaves nearer the physical plane has been unto all who are of the Light an initiation of the heart.

     Therefore, in this period you have or should have accelerated the sense of attunement of the inclination of the ear to the vibrations, five distinct vibrations of the Dhyani Buddhas, of the secret rays and of Cosmos. And, of course, beloved, calling forth the violet flame with Mighty Cosmos' secret rays is surely the action whereby there does increase in you a permeation, a percolation through those five secret-ray spheres surrounding the heart chakra, spheres of the consciousness of Cosmos, spheres for the entering in not only to the innermost place of being, the secret chamber of the heart, but also to the Holy of Holies of the Most High God. This, then, is the goal of the path of this life.

     Heed well, then, the call to internalize and outpicture the goal of individual Christhood on the seven rays, for upon this foundation of the rainbow rays of God, in this balance of the seven planes of being in your chakras here below, you are able first to balance the Threefold Flame and then to increase the Light of the Divine Mother rising that becomes the magnet of the Buddha descending.

     These are not mere words, beloved. The initiation of the heart has meant a cataclysm in some lifestreams upon planet earth. Some have passed from the screen of life. Others have found the burning in the heart to be a pressure of Light and sacred fire consuming from within to the without the burdens of hardness of heart and the records of death that beset the heart chakra.

     One is taken and another is left. Some by merit and deeds of good service have earned a new heart physically and spiritually while others have lost both by their neglect. And so the cycles of the years and of the weeks do turn in this planetary home.

     Beloved, the heart is the seat of consciousness and the seat of Life. Guard the heart. Guard the heart, beloved. It is your citadel of the Central Sun here below.

     Therefore, for the soothing of the heart, for the melting of the records of the unmerciful heart, beloved Kuan Yin has come to the fore and is in your midst. Even in this very hour, beloved, the blessed Kuan Yin, open door to the Amitabha, open door to the Five Dhyani Buddhas, does move through this building, does place a special Electronic Presence of herself, unique to each individual's need, before you.

     So, beloved, you have tarried many hours, and many hours you have given as I would before God and as the Lord Christ Jesus would also. So to you, beloved, we restore balance as the grace of the Law does allow, for the rule of Alpha, even as it is the call of Morya, is "pay as you go."3 As you have given Light, so we return Light measure for measure according to that need, beloved.

     We observe, therefore, that the great need of the hour is the balancing and the strengthening of the Threefold Flame of the heart. Therefore assess and measure as you approach winter solstice and a new year of opportunity and a new year of personal and planetary karma how you have related to circumstance of karma, conditions of daily life as pertains to the heart.

     Out of the heart are the issues of Light. Let the pure in heart see God face to face. Purify the heart, beloved. Let it not be fatted. Let it not become obese with the weight of inordinate desiring whether of false appetites or whether of the bloated consciousness of the astral plane that is seething with toxins of those vices that deny the merciful presence of the heart of the Divine Mother within you toward all.

     Behold, then, the fierceness of the eye of the Buddha that is borne as the Ruby Ray chastening unto the seed of the Wicked [One]. Behold the tenderness of the heart as you experience the balance of the merciful heart of Love and the laser beam of the Ruby Ray of the mind and the eye of God that can clear from you, once you have withdrawn all substance thereof, those momentums of desiring, and [the] desiring [of] those things to be drawn to oneself that simply have nothing whatsoever to do with the kingdom of God or of getting there swiftly.

     Therefore, beloved, the heart that is expanding in the Divine Flame, the heart that is increasing in the spheres of the secret rays, this heart must not suffer the outrages of anger from without or within. Imagine creating the delicate and yet superstrong framework of a heart that endures all cycles and journeyings even unto the ascension in the Light itself. The heart that does endure the dark night of the soul and the Dark Night of the Spirit, this heart, beloved, in its formation as a crystal fiery heart of Light must be undisturbed.

     Guard the heart. Do not allow it to be bombarded by [dissonant] sounds whether through the media or one's ill-chosen companions in life who do not contain the reverence of the heart of God with them.

     Thus the profane, beloved, will defile the heart as they would steal the rhythm of the heartbeat of God and his sons and daughters and then play it with electronic sound and syncopated beat to disturb the very formative process even of the physical heart of the unborn within the womb. And as the soul begins to attune to the heartbeat of the Father-Mother, so that soul must already in the tenderness of the envelope of the fetus in the womb begin a process of self-defense against the misuse [of] and the tampering with the rhythm of the heartbeat of God that is to become the very pulsation of life within the newborn babe.

     Such is the sacrilege of the forces of Death and Hell. Such is the misuse of the great inventions sent forth for Aquarius, for the amplification of the Word and the Work of the Lord by Saint Germain. Blessed hearts, the most magnificent dispensations out of the Cave of Symbols4 afforded by Saint Germain for the very defense of life, the defense of America, the defense of freedom in every nation have been either aborted or misused, sold to the enemy to be misused again and again to destroy life instead of to defend that life.

     Let us understand, then, that those who will endure are those who do not allow the encroachment upon the heart and who stop short of [expressing] the word, the vibration and the feeling that is a sharp and searing, tearing attack upon the heart of self and others.

     Love the flame of the heart above all self and self-defense, beloved, and then you shall see how a spark does become a Threefold Flame, how the very breath of the Holy Spirit as intense love does fan that fire and that Threefold Flame until so great a flame does reveal the manifestation of the Light-emanation of God in form.

     You have nothing to fear, beloved, but fear itself, for fear is indeed the destruction of the heart and the delicate filigree membranes that are being formed and then rewoven and then mended by angels when they are torn again and again.

     Blessed ones, there is an emotional rut! You must beware of it! It is the pitfall whereby the soul may fall into the desire body, into the same old trap again and again. Understanding the sine wave of your emotions and your feelings on a cyclic basis day by day according to the cycles of the moon, according to the movements of such as the planet Mars and others, where you have not that Christ-dominion in you, you are subject, as are all of the members of the race of Homo sapiens, beloved, to astrology, you are subject to the tides of the sea, to the lunar influences and to the planetary bodies that represent the lower order of evolution.

     Take thy dominion over it, for the Divine Mother has shown you the way5 and all these things she has placed under her feet.6 Therefore, get the victory as God-mastery in illumination in the signs of Pisces and Virgo, of Gemini and Sagittarius and become not dullards and dense ones [through the] ignoring, by the surfeiting of yourselves in ignorant animal magnetism,7 of the Great Law of Life. Thus, you are not, I say, victims of an astrology. You are mighty conquerors who will look upon that astrology as the initiation of the hour for which you are well-equipped, beloved.

     Therefore, I say to those who would read the signs of the times in the charts of astrology of the Keepers of the Flame, you may not predict nor condemn my own according to your interpretations, whether of past karma or past failures. For no one must judge another and say that that which does befall one is the result of his karma. You do not know! Therefore do not be so presumptuous, for the signs of astrology are the signs of initiation. Take heed, then, lest you condemn a Christed one when that Christed one is bearing a cross for you and you and you!

     I say to you, beloved, all must be tested. Do not walk about with the sadness of "sackcloth and mourning"8 but rather rejoice to see that every difficult karma coming your way, which may or may not be heralded in the signs of your stars, must be seen as a path of initiation under Maitreya. Pass your tests, and if karma is a part of them, it shall be dissolved by the sacred fire, and if it be not, then woe to those who condemn another for having a so-called heavy karma! We have a right to test! You have a right to be tested.

     And therefore I did initiate the testing of the heart. I did initiate the initiations of the heart in this place, for America must pass her tests. And, beloved, many in this nation not connected with a path of Light have simply flown from that initiation, have departed from it, have invented a false heart and with their false starts no longer have any substance whatsoever in their approach to life. They are unwilling to engage in the initiations of the heart with a Divine Reality, with a forging of a Christhood.

     Do you see, beloved, how that state of consciousness has been represented ad nauseam in the speeches of the candidates who have pitted quip against quip and twerp against twerp in their vying for what was once the highest office in the land? Blessed ones, [there is] no substance, no engaging; for without a heart of fire one can only seek the support, the popularity of the mass consciousness. Yet an entire nation and a world was alerted to the emptiness, the frightening hollowness, the tomblike quality of those who come purporting to represent the living yet only representing the dead - and the "undead," who, though they have not passed from the screen of life, find themselves as whited sepulchres, full of dead men's bones.9

     Now may you see how life is meaningless, how in the drama or the comedy that is played upon the screens of the media there is no real profound meaning or plot. There are no real characters engaged with Life in the highest sense, combating forces of Darkness while standing, if they must stand alone, for Light and Truth and Honor.

     These fallen ones who have abandoned the heart of a Christ and a Buddha have naught to do with the Great White Brotherhood nor are they equipped to lead a nation under God and a holy people through the narrow straits, the very narrow straits that must lead to eternal Life. They have espoused the broad way of social programs in place of the spiritual defense. They have abandoned the Child, the Contra, people of every race and nation. They have abandoned the path of the creative heart and they soothe themselves and soothe others with words and more words that do not carry the comfort flame to a people. There is no trust in such leaders. There is no desire to vote for such leaders.

     Blessed ones, I, for one, stand with El Morya holding [up] the profile [of the Christed one] to you and your own for those who must be raised up10 that there might still be a standard and a cosmic honor flame as one holds the Light of Saint Thérèse and another of Saint Thomas More and another of Becket or of Merlin or of Samuel, another of Krishna and another and another and another that the Lords of Karma might say the saints live today on planet earth, and in embodiment are those who are equal to and may bear the triangle, the equilateral triangle, here below of the saints of the etheric octave, the heaven-world and the absolute octaves of Light.

     Blessed hearts, you are the counterparts of an invisible world. You are the counterparts-to-be of golden-age cities of Light and inner temples. So long as you walk the earth, your auras reflecting that higher playground of life where true initiation is realized, so long as there is a peep into the infinite through the electromagnetic field of yourselves - so long is there hope in the hearts of those who yet walk this planet. When there cease to be chelas in embodiment fulfilling that just requirement of the Law, I tell you, an entire planet can descend into lows of depression you know not of.

     It is the Lightbearers of the world who keep that torch in the name of the Goddess of Liberty. Now more than ever let it not be compromised but let the sign of the torchbearers be also the sign of the initiates of the heart chakra who desire and dare to be one with my heart and who are willing to shed the fat that does prevent that union.

     One cannot be a citizen of a spiritual cosmos and enjoy [i.e., indulge in,] the supposed benefits, all of them, of a physical earth in the throes of internalizing and regurgitating astral consciousness and effluvia. There is no question, beloved, it is a sick society in a comatose state that does remain riveted before the television, entering the world of unreality, the world of trompe l'oeil, the world that is the artificiality of the false hierarchy of Cyclopea and the All-Seeing Eye of God.

     Thus, beloved, you watch your fellows slip into illusion. Though not drunk with alcohol, though not perverted whether by crime or misuse of the sacred fire or by drugs, they have a dazed and a glazed look that does tell and tell all that they are more in the astral plane and only as tree trunks [do they] remain in the physical.

     Go not after them and above all do not respond to the demons and entities of glamour that extend their tentacles, their bonied arms and fingers, out from the holes in those hollowed-out tree trunks. They would lure you by any means to part with your Light. I say, depart this place! Depart this plane of consciousness for higher spheres. For as the Lord Christ has told you, never has opportunity been of [i.e., consisted of,] such a great encounter with your God.11

     Now, beloved, in the guarding of the heart and the initiation thereof recognize that the heart is the twelve-petaled chakra, that these twelve petals must have something of your love and attainment, each and every one. Thus, by the work of the seven rays build upon them as though you were earning the badges of the honor flame of the Boy and Girl Scouts of America and the world. Contribute something of yourself to the strengthening of each and every one of the twelve petals, thereby passing through to the antechamber, the Eighth Ray chakra, the secret chamber of the heart.

     Behold, the Lord cometh. Behold, I AM Gautama. I stoop this day. I bend to you. I incline my ear and my heart. In this mode, beloved, I come in one of my lower bodies and manifestations that you might know me in this hour as Brother and that you might also remember that your Brother, so near to you, also does occupy the office of Lord of the World.

     I desire you to know me as Brother, not in the familiarity or the intimacy that breeds contempt or the taking for granted of my Presence but in the sense that one who has been accorded this office by Sanat Kumara and the Cosmic Council, being entrusted with the fate of all lifestreams of a planet, does also know you intimately as a chela of the heart of God's will, as a disciple and as one who yet must pass through even the burdens of the flesh, even the burdens of mortality.

     Therefore, beloved, in this closeness to you in this hour may you know, even as you know through the love of a mother's heart, that there is understanding and compassion for the plight of the chela, for the distress of the burdens of the body and all temptations in this octave. May you know that though there be compassion, therefore, there [may] also be the correcting rod of the Ruby Ray and its laser beam.

     We may understand, beloved. We may feel with you and understand your feelings, but by that very empathy we do not excuse. We rebuke and we remind you that, yes, this is the condition of the flesh and, no! you may not indulge it. No longer may you indulge these conditions, beloved! Time is up for those who do! And know that the Law comes down and it becomes the dividing of the way on the one side and the other - whether Failure or Victory!

     It is always best in such troubled times of a planet and an age to assume that one's day, when the dawn comes, is one's last and to prepare to meet thy God and the Lords of Karma at the conclusion of that day, thus to put one's best foot forward, to do one's best and not plan on a future that does not exist. For where is the future when the present day is misused? There is no future, for this day must be lived again. And thus there are many on the planet who are perpetually in the present and have no sense of tomorrow's Victory being won by the ingredients of the moment.

     Lie not. Deceive not! Belittle not, mock not the Christ in oneself or another, beloved, by the very depredation of the Light.

     Take your stand, then, for the Victory of the moment and you will have the Victory of eternity. If you compromise the moment and procrastinate acts of Victory, I assure you there will be no tomorrow that can contain you and no tomorrow which you yourself can contain.

     Take control, then, of the body and you will find that the body will be a faithful servant. Take control of the mind and the mind will serve you as a vessel for infinite thoughts. Let the desire body be the vessel of thy God and see what is the power of thy God-desiring.

     I AM Gautama. I came with hope when I did place this Threefold Flame over this city. I come with hope again. Some must regroup forces to balance karma of lost opportunity since initiation began, while others may build and receive from me in this hour increment of fire to move on.

     God-Harmony is the key. When thou dost love God-Harmony above all else, when thou dost know harmony in the discipline of the Law and even in the rebuke [of the soul by] the Inner Self and the Divine Teacher, when harmony is the means to a sacred-fire release that does realign forces, then harmony is the victor.

     Understand, beloved, when a planet is so far out of alignment with the inner blueprint, then the definition of harmony may be cataclysm and the disruption [caused by] cataclysm. For, beloved, the next best thing to harmony is the restoration of harmony. And if a world must come tumbling down for harmony to be regained, then, you see, the means can be considered to be harmony though it be a harmony of a most forceful and abrupt kind. This must be understood as a chemicalization whereby the right chemistry is the desired result. All else being inharmony, there must be the means [ - God-Harmony's means - ] for the dissolution and the reassembling of the atoms of being.

     Thus, beloved, the violators of the living Flame of God-Harmony, which is the Flame of the Mother on the six o'clock line (which is the sacred fire of the base-of-the-spine chakra), these violators as they continue to violate the Light of the Divine Mother create such karma that the Law of Harmony itself does break the mold, the vessel, and does therefore discontinue the very treasure and gift of Life lest the increased manifestation of inharmony should create for that one such a karma as to defy its balancing in the future.

     Thus, beloved, in the matter of the psychology of child rearing, in the matter of the opinions of so-called parents today that "harmony" is an absence of discipline or chastisement, these know not what they do! For they shall return again and again until [the Law does require that] those children - whom they have spoiled by a failure to raise up the rod of the Divine Mother in themselves and [by a failure] to wield that rod of sacred fire [on their behalf - be brought to them so that those parents who caused them to get] out of alignment [in the first place might have the karmic opportunity of drawing them] back into alignment again in future lifetimes. Thus you see, beloved, those who have not the self-discipline to obey the laws of the Divine Mother within their own temple can scarcely call themselves parents; and the disservice they do is not alone to a single lifestream but to an entire civilization.

     O what a tangled web is woven by those who deceive themselves by their prating about love and kindness and harmony, and yet beneath the surface of that is the very hatred of the Child, the very hatred of the Father-Mother God as these defiant ones purvey their socialistic psychology that is the very undermining of their offspring.

     Do you think we send Lightbearers to those who will not discipline the self first? I tell you nay. And it does not matter where such individuals are found, even in spiritual movements. The highest Lightbearers preparing to descend, beloved, await those who prepare themselves physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, psychologically. Those who have the purest desire for God-Good, therefore, receive the souls of highest attainment who also have the desire, the purest desire, for God-Good.

     I say, therefore, there must be a judgment in this hour upon those parents who are literally spoiling the opportunity of their offspring for the Victory in this life. [Wherefore,] I, Gautama, will be in their hearts. I will be in the hearts of those children of the Light and I shall school them in the ways of inner self-discipline whereby one day they shall disapprove and disavow those parents who have done them wrong, but they shall overcome.

     Be watchful, beloved. Therefore, let the Father-Mother God within you be the parents of your own soul, disciplining your soul and raising up the Mother Light, for without that strength and fire how can a Threefold Flame expand?

     Is not the nourishment of Life from beneath [through] the Divine Mother and from above [through] the Divine Father? Is any child complete without the twain? The child shall miss the mother or the father. Therefore give equal and unfailing devotion and quickly challenge that psychology and that astrology that does not allow you to trust the Father-Mother God and therefore finally enter in to a true upbringing of your soul in trust of the Lawgiver, in trust of illumination, in trust of love.

     I therefore trust that initiates of the heart will become my own initiates, will redeem the gifts of Morya and his Diamond Heart, will restore the fullness of opportunity to Saint Germain and will in the process never neglect the Call of the heart to be prepared and to survive. We desire to see you in embodiment in twelve years and twenty-four, having weathered the testings and the trials of a planet in the throes of alchemical change, waiting to give birth, travailing to give birth to the Universal Christ in the hearts of the Lightbearers.

     I AM Gautama. Let the purpose to which this Teaching Center was founded in this city be fulfilled and let all who hear that call so contribute, for by the heart chakra of a nation and of a people shall Divine Intervention come in the hour of greatest need. And if the heart be not raised up, how shall the heavenly host descend for the rescue of the soul in the seat-of-the-soul chakra?

     I AM Gautama Buddha. I claim you as my brothers and sisters. I ascend to the heart of the Western Shamballa. May you know me as I AM: the Keeper of the Hearts of the Faithful.

     I seal you with the sign of the heart, the sign of the head, the sign of the hand, signifying that by the love of your heart the mind shall be illumined and by the illumination of the mind multiplied by the love of the heart the right hand in action shall be the Work of God in the Omega cycle that did descend to you in the beginning as the living Word [in the Alpha cycle].

     Lo, I AM THAT I AM the Oneness, the Oneness, the Oneness of the Community, of the Teaching outpictured, delivered as example. I AM the Presence of the Buddha and the mantle of the Buddha upon the witness of the eternal Guru in the midst thereof.

     This dictation was delivered on Sunday, November 27, 1988, 4:31-5:14 p.m. CST, at the Church Universal and Triumphant Community Teaching Center, Chicago, Illinois. Available on 90-min. audiocassette K88042. Throughout these notes PoW is the abbreviation for Pearls of Wisdom.
