The Second Coming of Christ
"Receive Me and Become Who You Are"

     I AM Christ, thy Lord. I come to receive my brides.

     O my souls, thou who art the mirror of the Divine Image of my Self and thy Christ Self to all the world, know, then, that all the world does see that Christ Image as at inner levels I touch everyone.

     And every eye does see me face to face and in the mirror of thy souls - thou who hast prepared and truly polished the mirror of self1 [so] that the weary traveler or the doubter or the one gone astray or even those who champion the cause of Evil might look into your soul, beloved, and see the true image, the Divine Image out of which all sons and daughters of Light were made. Take thee to thy self this solar image. Take to thy self my Self.

     I come, then, in the appearance prophesied2 and I come again and again and again, my beloved, for the so-called Second Coming has occurred and recurred.3 So understand, beloved, that I am in the earth as foretold and I am here to fulfill the prophecy that every eye shall see me.

     Blessed hearts, I have called you to be my own, my disciples, my apostles. I have called you to be the Christ.4 I have called, beloved, that the multiplication of my Body, which is broken for you,5 might be that my Electronic Presence should move in the earth through you and that my Sacred Heart upon your sacred heart might amplify that threefold flame and that open door of the heart whereby through us, one upon one, my Self superimposed upon [your self], the souls of earth might enter into the path of discipleship unto the same fulfillment of the Law that you yourselves are realizing and have realized in some measure.

     The hour is come, beloved, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear my voice and they that see me shall live.6 For to see the true image of Christ, even with the inner eye, is truly the quickening, the resurrection. It is to take unto oneself that image; for what the eye beholds of me, beloved, is instantaneously stamped upon every cell and atom of being.

     Let it be so, beloved, for all must choose to receive the Christ of the heart - Jesus of the Sacred Heart - and to live, else in seeing [him] they may choose to deny that Christ and [thereby] instantaneously commit their souls to outer darkness.7

     Beloved, the denial of the Christ in oneself, when that Christ does come as I AM come to enter the temple, is sudden death to that soul.8 [For] though the body may continue to [have life and to] move about [until the life force is spent and death does overtake it], the soul that has [with finality] denied Christ has denied its own immortality, its everlasting life and, alas, its reason for being, [hence any possibility for continued existence].

     This is why the Second Coming of Christ is an apocalyptic event, beloved. For in the First Coming [of the avatar of the age] the opportunity to choose to be or not to be is given: to embrace the Light or not to embrace it. And two thousand years, beloved, [and, in truth, many aeons prior to my Advent] were given to all inhabitants of these several worlds to choose to be in Christ the fullness of everlasting life and the fountain of youth and of resurrection's flame to all. Therefore in the end [of the age of Pisces] that Second Coming does denote for many final choices, [even for the fallen angels whose time is up].9

     Blessed ones, they pay me lip service. They pretend to look to the coming kingdom and [to] their entering in as the goal of life, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.10 They are the seed of Satan sown11 in the Body of Christ and in the churches of the world. When they see me, beloved, face to face, they reject that Christ and that Light. They deny [my Second] Coming [though they have trumpeted it loud and long; they deny my] Person and, above all, [they deny] the Divine Image that our Father-Mother God has placed in you all.

     [It is because the Second Coming is also for the judgment of the seed of the Wicked One that it is written: "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen."12]

     Now, therefore, as the seed of Satan move up and down the earth, so I come. And I come until spring and beyond, up to the moment of the prophesied end of the age of Pisces. And from now unto that hour, beloved, I assure you that I shall have appeared to everyone on every plane of this Matter house and on other worlds whose time has also come for my Second Appearing.

     This, then, must precede, even as some consider it must follow, that moment [and that hour] when there is the dividing of the way on a planetary scale, where such Light does become incarnate in all who choose to be that Christ and [to] enter the ritual of the alchemical union, and where such Darkness [does] descend [so] as to result in the second death of souls.

     There, beloved, is alchemy. There, beloved, is world chemicalization. There, beloved, happy are ye, centered in the violet flame, centered in the Holy Spirit, making your abode in the heart of the earth that the Darkness may pass over and the dawn of Light may come.

     In former times when ages have reached that moment of choice, and ultimate choice, there have been those even on this planetary home, as you have been told, who did enter the earth and various layers of the earth, there to tarry until new opportunity should arise. One such precious soul of Light who was sent to the heart of the earth is the one to whom you call, the Buddha of the Ruby Ray.13

     Therefore, beloved, it is not without precedent that initiates of the sacred fire have taken up their abode and dwelling place in levels of the earth while the Death Angel should pass over the planet for the harvest of the tares and while the angels of Light should also come for the harvest of Lightbearers.

     It is, then, truly, as you have been told, a path woven by Maitreya whereby you understand that having gone forth as sons and daughters of God, as sowers of the Word, [you accomplish] the return, the cycling within by the five secret rays, [and you receive] the initiation of the heart that you might also be known as bearers of my Sacred Heart.

     It is a more difficult path, beloved, for on the way in to the secret chamber of the heart and to the initiations of Lord Gautama Buddha, you are reaping ancient sowings. And though your karma may be fully balanced, yet you now encounter the ancient sowings of the fallen ones, of planetary momentums and of the collective karma of earth's evolutions. You abide upon this planet in an earth body. Therefore, though karma be balanced, you cannot escape experiencing in some form the effects of causes set in motion by all evolutions of the planetary sphere within and without.

     Sometimes souls of Light escape this reality or it does escape them. And because they live in an ovoid of [the] Light of their own soul's bliss in oneness with the Light, they interpret world scenes and events through this crystal sphere of Light that is their normal abode and auric field. Therefore it is difficult [for them] to experience within that Light the Darkness that is no part of them and yet is part of the planet.

     It is difficult to establish a sense of co-measurement [with] those conditions of Death and Hell with which you have had no part, of which you take no part. Thus I come that you might maintain the perspective of earth's dark hours and of a dark star that has been the battleground of the forces of Light and Darkness for aeons.

     It is the vision of the Lord our God in the Great Central Sun and our Father-Mother that this era should come to an accelerated conclusion. And it is the desire of our Father-Mother that I should tell you this day that the Lord is not willing to continue another round and another round and another round with these fallen ones who wreak havoc with the incoming kingdom of God and those who bring it in. And therefore the profound desire of the Lord our God is to accelerate the judgment cycle and to see those who have labored long in his vineyard experience the joy and the happiness as a fruition, a harvest of their labors.

     Blessed hearts, we commend you to continue in [the] vein [of] the calls you have been making and to understand that the authority for the judgment has come in many dictations; [therefore you need] to know each specific dispensation even as you have earnestly taken up the dispensation of Helios for the pulling of the plug on the seed of the wicked.14 [As you base your calls on past dispensations] this does assist us, beloved, even as it assists you.

     We shall not hasten the judgment until the Lightbearers who have heard [and answered] the call to preparedness have completed their preparedness. But I tell you, beloved, the false hierarchy itself would hasten the confrontation [of Armageddon], even if it mean their judgment, in order to prevail and to prevent you from experiencing the fullness of the protection that you have planned and are executing.

     The greatest safety is the Light and is preparedness. In the words of El Morya, I say to you, "Make haste! Make haste." For there is such a thing as the forces of Darkness taking matters into their own hands. And because they have physical embodiment and free will and because there is great karma in the nations of the twelve tribes, it is not always possible by cosmic law for that intercession to take place to stay their hand. Yet this our Father-Mother God would do.

     I pray that you entertain angels and call for angels from great cosmic heights and the Central Sun and call perpetually for them to stay with you. For they do not tarry in the earth so long, for they are of great Light and their native abode is not the Darkness that is here below.

     Blessed ones, [to assure] that I might come this day and be locked in to this body, you yourselves did decree and the Messenger did make invocation for the clearing of a mountain of Darkness infested by all manner of foul and unclean spirits, a mountain that had become the vantage of the fallen ones whereby [they] could hurl against the Lightbearers and against the walls of the Inner Retreat invective and the boiling mud, et cetera, which Mara did direct against the body of the gracious Lord Gautama himself.15

     So, beloved, by the imploding and the exploding Light invoked from the heart of Alpha and Omega, this mountain of Darkness was destroyed and all hosts of the Lord converged to take its [misqualified] substance. [This took place] in hell, on the astral plane. And thus [the mountain] is no more. And, in addition, a canopy of Darkness over this place [put up by the enemy] to stand between you and your God, to stand between you and your Mighty I AM Presence and the Ascended Masters, was consumed as you kept the Flame with Astrea and wisely invoked the violet flame angels.

     Be it known, beloved hearts, that every step of the way you must see the Call as that which knits together the hearts of the Lightbearers with the hearts of those ascended and with our God in the Great Central Sun, with our God, who is your I AM Presence with you every hour. Yet the momentums of this world come between you and your Mighty I AM Presence more often than not, more often than they should.

     Do you see, beloved? Keeping the Light in a world that will get darker before it gets brighter is a full-time calling. It is a rejoicing. It is a Love-emanation in your hearts as you love and love and love your God and his own, as you pray for them and beseech him and the Divine Mother to perpetually hold open [a passageway to the etheric plane], at least at this place on earth, where there may be no interference from the physical octave to the highest realms of Light. This is our dedication of this Royal Teton Ranch, this Inner Retreat, this Glastonbury.

     Blessed ones, it takes a tremendous amount of work to sustain this openness [across the octaves]. Thus, we have selected a property and directed you to be a part of it, that you might be in the place where overhead you can still see into the vastness of the great skyey blue dome and look in to the Holy City above you in the Retreat of the Divine Mother.16

     The astral sea is rising.17 The walls keep it out. The astral sea is rising. See that your tube of light does keep it out. See that you, then, tackle your own astral body [as you challenge your dweller-on-the-threshold, the patterns of your electronic belt and the archetypes of Absolute Evil in the unconscious] that there might not be [found therein] a point of resonance with the astral sea without.

     Let, then, the desire body be filled with thy desiring for thy God. May you also be filled with that desiring that I knew when as David I wrote down the Psalms of my communion with God, [the desiring I experienced in] my crying out [to] God that my offering might be acceptable in his sight.18 This had been and continued to be the fervor of my heart and my reason for being for many lifetimes.

     Thus, beloved, that desiring that becomes the zeal of thy house,19 that desiring that does become the zeal of the Lord thy God shall eat up the substance untransmuted of [non-desire in] the astral body! And then you will know what it is to walk the earth as the one called Enoch [walked the earth].20

     See, beloved, how that fortification [of the zeal of the Lord] does give you physical protection, spiritual protection, the protection of the soul who is one-pointed, all-infilling in her desiring to be God, God, God in the earth, to stand as that God Presence, that God-manifestation, between the multitudes of the children of Light and the oncoming Darkness that they must face.

     Many of them shall be naked, beloved. They have not woven the Deathless Solar Body.21 Pray for them, for I love them; and they are the children of my heart led astray by false pastors who have never given to them the true understanding of the sacred mysteries.

     Has Christianity failed? Indeed it has! And I say it, beloved. It has failed me and it has failed all of my own save those who have been my friends and brothers and sisters, yourselves, beloved, [who did not forget the Sacred Word,] who have been with me from the very beginning of our incarnations [on earth] all the way back to Maitreya's Mystery School.22

     You remembered. You have borne the imprint of the I AM THAT I AM in your own sacred heart. You have known and remembered and come apart to demonstrate that Christ. The world has spurned you. The world has looked into your eyes, which are my eyes, and declared that you are the "glassy-eyed" ones. So foreign to them are the eyes of our Father-Mother God that the Light is to them an offense.

     Pray for them. Pray for them, I say. In this Holy Order of Francis and Clare23 pray and pray for them, [as you] walk up and down [the roads and trails], that they might be saved and clothed [with the wedding garment] by holy angels, that should they pass from the screen of life they may enter the etheric octave, where they require a garment of Light. Even if it be not the fullness of the Deathless Solar Body, they may, [in answer to your prayers,] not come naked to that octave, [where they must at least have the undergarment]. Clothe them. Clothe them, beloved. Invoke the swaddling garment of the Divine Mother upon them.

     I have said, "Feed my sheep,"24 and my so-called representatives in the world of Christendom have not fed them [the good wheat] but the husks. They have not given them my Body and my Blood as the fullness of the divine understanding [of] our Father-Mother God. They have allowed them to experience [neither] the mysteries nor [the] pain nor [the] bliss [of the path of personal Christhood]. They have kept them neutralized in a neuter world, beloved.

     And, alas, for many, [for both shepherd and sheep,] it is no fault of their own; for some are young souls and [they] are frightened of Satan though they profess my name. Therefore [by their fear] they have made a god of the fallen angels, which is precisely what the fallen angels have designed, a religion where it is indeed they who are God.

     And there is more practice of Satanism in Christianity today than I would care to even tell. For Christianity has become a religion of the pleasure cult and of [the metaphysical] avoidance of that which must be experienced [in the psyche] as pain[ - for growth and resolution require it].

     Let me explain, beloved. You do not need to have a martyr complex to anticipate the experiencing of pain. Do you not experience and endure pain when you labor in travail to give birth to the child?25 Is it pain or is it bliss, beloved? Do you not experience pain when the Light enters the body - when the toxins are cleaned out and the Light does enter? Is there not the sensation of pain and do you not rejoice in it, knowing that a greater Light is come unto you and a [physical] rejuvenation and a [spiritual] resurrection?

     Is there any creation, beloved, without birth pangs? I tell you no. To come up higher means to experience the sorrow of loss, the pain of separation as some are taken and others are left.26 Blessed hearts, pain is not difficult to endure when you understand that in some cases it is a necessary part of the alchemy of transmutation.

     Welcome adversity! Welcome the challenge! Welcome all that our God does send to you; for if it were not necessary, I would have told you.

     And therefore I shall tell you what is not necessary. Your self-indulgence is not necessary. Your procrastination is not necessary. Your fatigue is not necessary. Your indolence is not necessary. The fleeting and the flirting of the mind with all kinds of things of this octave are not necessary when the mind can so easily be stayed upon God.

     It is not necessary to take forever to become the Son of God. It is not necessary to be burdened by the chicanery of the fallen ones. They always march to their own drumbeat. [Their behavior] is par for the course. Do not be surprised [when you see them coming], beloved. [Do not "hold the immaculate concept" for them.] It is not necessary to be blind as to who they are. It is not necessary to always find out after the fact who they were. Expect them, even as you daily expect the visitation of angels of Light.

     Call to Cyclopea, call to me, call for your Christ-awareness that you might identify the seed of Satan and the seed of Light and the angel of Darkness and the angel of Light without further ado or waste of time and precious energy when you should be about your Father's business.27

     Blessed hearts, I come for vision this day[ - yours]! This is my "Cyclopea dictation," if you will. And I stand on the ten o'clock line of your Cosmic Clock and I am sore displeased! For as spoiled children you seem to reserve that line for every self-indulgence that can be imagined.

     Blessed ones, spiritual blindness is not necessary. It is dangerous. It ought to be rooted out! And I say, may Cyclopea come on Sunday evening and [by then] may you have given so many calls to Cyclopea, so many rounds of his decree28 that you might be purged of your spiritual blindness.

     We come to this class to execute that clearance promised to all who have participated in Hercules' labors.29 And, measure for measure, as you have put forth the Call and the Decree and hugged your God and clung to your Tree of Life,30 you will see what can be taken. But I, Jesus, have stood before our Father-Mother in recent weeks and I have implored that this clearance might be dedicated to the clearing of the ten o'clock line that [ever thereafter] you might see [in the mirror of self] the Real Self or the unreal self [and know the difference]!

     And I invite all youth of this Community who have not chosen, for their own private reasons, to be a part of our services to join [me] this weekend [and in the future] in these [calls to] Cyclopea. For I should like to give the gift of vision to Ascended Master Youth and [to] those who will claim [it as] their identity, [to] Ascended Master Youth who know who they are [and] where they are going - you, then, who understand that you are on the path of Ascended Master discipline, like it or not. And you are a candidate for the ascension and you might as well like it, you might as well decide that the Lord has come and tapped you on the shoulder and that you have not been acquainted with this teaching for naught but for a cosmic reason, that you might make it in this life.

     I speak to you, then, and I say, join in these Cyclopea marathons and in these labors of Hercules and know that the greatest gift from God that you can receive is inner sight. It can save you all manner of folly, detours, wrong decisions, mistakes and even a wasted embodiment. Blessed ones, to have spiritual vision means that you are willing to give up something of the selfish self that continues to posture itself in the place where the most pleasure is to be had.

     Now then, to one and to all, to those whose hearts have been striving, to you who have been determined to get to the core of your own psychology,31 I say, the Master Kuthumi cometh; and he does come to speak to you in this class. May you hear him. May you have the understanding that [through him] the All-Seeing Eye of God and your inner vision will tie you into the present awareness of your soul.

     The soul may know many things that the outer self is not aware of. [For the outer self] to be able to attune with the soul without fear or doubt, trepidation, beloved, is important. For the soul must reach the mind and the mind must reach the soul. And with heart as mediator - and spirit for fire of will and action - soul and mind wedded together as the yang and the yin of being must move forward in concert, in harmony, in mutual awareness. Thereby the mind may determine its self-determination by the advice of the knowingness of the soul.

     Allow your soul to breathe free. Allow your soul to see. See with the eyes of the soul and therefore judge righteous judgment,32 make right decision and know that a people who have such great Light ought not to be naive in the face of the dark ones. They ought not to be deceived by the carnal mind of one another. They ought not to condemn one another for mistakes or even dishonesty. They must see the real person and the real soul and rescue that one from any further dalliance in dishonest practices. Alas, these too are yet present among some in this Community.

     Blessed hearts, rally to the defense of the soul of Light. Call to me with my Christ-vision and call to Cyclopea. Call to Mother Mary that you might know if there be a soul [in your midst] that is not of the Light. And thus [realize that the] one that has no allegiance to the Light will not be saved by your effort.

     Do not waste precious time and energy that ought to be devoted to the saving of the children of God on such as these because you are flattered by their presence, by their attention, by their seeming intellectual brilliance [or even by their money]; and yet they are as sawdust.33 There is nothing vital or integrated [in the ungodly34] nor are they capable of accomplishing [the] works of the Father.

     For he hath sent me and I must work the works of him that sent me.35 I work the works of Maitreya. I work the works of Gautama. I work the works of Sanat Kumara. And, my beloved,I work the works of your Holy Christ Self when you refuse to be the instrument of that Holy Christ Self yourself! And this is how much I have loved you: rather than see you lose points in the Law, I come and I perform those works. And I speak to your soul and I rebuke you and I reprimand you and I command you to allow that Christ to descend into your temple.

     Blessed ones, remember that mantra, "I must work the works of him that sent me." Who has sent you? Your Holy Christ Self has sent you as the Light-emanation and extension of the Holy One of God, your Mighty I AM Presence.

     Embody the works, beloved, and be quickened by the Word. Be not satisfied in that state of consciousness that is somewhere between the astral and the mental body, somewhere around the six o'clock line [as you chart your Cosmic Clock], engulfed in a sea of indecision and self-pity and all that self-justification.

     Blessed hearts, I will show you how to get rid of self-justification. It is as simple as the nose upon your face. Simply get rid of the self! Then you may serve your life out justifying your Christ Self, justifying your I AM Presence, justifying their trust in you, their love in you, [you who are] that soul of Light cast into the sea as a glistening pearl.36 Fear not, beloved. Thou shalt be made whole. Let thy God descend!

     Therefore I would bring to you the vision, that you might see the filthy rags,37 the filthy rags that you still allow your self, [i.e., your soul,] to be wrapped in. I will allow you to see the dweller38 that is [also] thy self; [for it is] thy self-creation.

     I will allow you to see the ugliness [of the beast] that you might desire the beauty [of the Christ], that you might desire the reality, that you might desire the Truth and that you might say:

     "I take the sword of Christ my Lord, my Knight, my Defender,and I take that sword and I drive it down the very middle of this personality divided, this Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde!39 I take that sword and I cleave it asunder! And I will take neither the Jekyll nor the Hyde but I will take the Christ, who shall step forth, even as the mighty phoenix bird shall rise in this age from the ashes of a former self that is former and must be allowed to remain former."

     I AM thy Christ. I AM thy Lord. I AM thy Saviour. Receive me in my Person, in my Sacred Heart and in your Holy Christ Self. Receive me in Maitreya and let us work the works of this age!

     Beloved ones, if you make it, if you succeed, Saint Germain will be redeemed and a golden age will be possible. If you do not make it, if you do not succeed, then the possibility of a golden age becomes problematical and it may not come about. Thus, beloved, forget the self-preferences. Jump in and make it happen!

     I, Jesus Christ, now give to you more than the spoken Word. I give you my Love and I give you all of my Love. I give you Communion. I give you the wine of my Spirit, the bread of my everlasting Life and I call you to come Home while the door is yet open. I call you to disregard anyone's human, including your own. And love one another, for I dwell within you. Love one another, for my face is mirrored in the mirror of your soul.

     I, Jesus, live in your heart. Will you not remember [this], beloved, and receive me and become who you are? This is my Thanksgiving Prayer, my Thanksgiving Call.

     O my beloved, anticipate that you will need all of your strength, all of your forces, all of your integration in God. Go for it, beloved! For the more of God that is in you, the less likely you will be touched by the coming prophecies fulfilled.

     Prepare for the Battle. Prepare for the Victory. Our eye is upon the All-Seeing Eye of God. May your eye be on it too; for in that Eye, beloved, you behold the image of God as Elohim, even as in your soul chakra you may see me face to face.

     Ponder my word, beloved, and now receive my physical, tangible essence, with which I charge the bread and the wine. I ask you, then, to sing hymns to your Christ Flame, to your Holy Christ Self and to me, that in the course of this ritual [of Holy Communion] you might make closer contact with the Self that is you - your Christ, my Christ.

     This dictation by Jesus Christ was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Thanksgiving Day, November 23, 1989, 2:52-3:36 p.m. MST, during the five-day conference A Thanksgiving Retreat held at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. In the service prior to the dictation the Messenger read "The First Thanksgiving Proclamation of the United States - 1789" by George Washington and read and gave teaching on Job 1-3.[N.B. Bracketed material denotes words unspoken yet implicit in the dictation, added by the Messenger under Jesus' direction for clarity in the written word.] Throughout these notes PoW is the abbreviation for Pearls of Wisdom.


Footnotes:

1 The sixteenth-century Catholic mystic Teresa of Avila compared the soul to a mirror in her autobiography: "Once while I was reciting with all the Sisters the hours of the Divine Office, my soul suddenly became recollected; and it seemed to me to be like a brightly polished mirror, without any part on the back or sides or top or bottom that wasn't totally clear. In its center Christ, our Lord, was shown to me, in the way I usually see Him. It seemed to me I saw Him clearly in every part of my soul, as though in a mirror. And this mirror also ... was completely engraved upon the Lord Himself. ... I was given understanding of what it is for a soul to be in mortal sin. It amounts to clouding this mirror with mist and leaving it black; and thus this Lord cannot be revealed or seen, even though He is always present giving us being. And I understood that heresies amount to breaking the mirror; which is much worse than its being darkened. ... It [this understanding] brought me much profit and caused me grief for the times in which through my sins I so darkened my soul that I couldn't see this Lord. I think this vision is advantageous to recollected persons, in teaching them to consider the Lord as very deep within their souls; such a thought is much more alluring and fruitful than thinking of Him as outside oneself."

39 In the novel The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson, Dr. Jekyll is a respectable and virtuous citizen who is fascinated by the idea of isolating the good and evil in human nature. He develops a drug to periodically transform himself into Mr. Hyde, a separate personality through whom he gives vent to evil impulses. When he commits murder, Dr. Jekyll realizes his creation has overpowered his own instincts for good. No longer able to restore his original personality at will, Dr. Jekyll takes his own life just before he is to be arrested. On November 26, 1987, the Messenger gave teaching on the confrontation with the dweller-on-the-threshold in which she commented on the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, describing Mr. Hyde as the embodiment of Dr. Jekyll's dweller-on-the-threshold.
