"A New Heaven and a New Earth"
IX
That the Christ Might Be Born

     America Must Return to Her Divine Commitment to Uphold the Life of the Child Aborning in the Womb of the Divine Mother

     Sons and daughters of my heart, I welcome you to the immortal flame of Cosmic Christ freedom.

     In this day and in this hour - Portia with me, Uriel, Aurora in the Presence of God here - there do come Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and Raphael and the three wise men and the Lord Krishna and the angels of God.

     For in this hour of the renewal of the divine conception [of America, and] of the new heaven and the new earth, we have chosen to walk up and down this land bearing the infant Child Jesus as a reminder to all encamped in this wilderness America, "from sea to shining sea," that the dedication of one nation under the one God is surely that the Christ might be born. And to that end the Christ was born.

     Therefore, may America return to her divine commitment to uphold the life of the child aborning in the womb of the Divine Mother and overshadowing every woman with child and every noble father who is the sponsor and the Light of that child. Thus, on this day I bid you be seated in a profound meditation upon the Manchild.1

     I stand before you today as Joseph, and Portia overshadowing me, Mary at my side and Raphael overshadowing her.2 We have chosen also the donkey. We are in the hour when the child is born and we must take flight into Egypt.

     In this day it is the flight of every Lightbearer with [his] parents to this nation America, where the life of the holy innocents3 and all assigned to birth ought to be fully protected by law. Yet this is not accomplished even unto this late hour.

     And I tell you, beloved, the turning of the decade does bring shortly to a close the remaining opportunity for the people of this nation to stand and hold fast in the defense of Life. And they had better make haste to call forth the judgment of those who will champion the right to deny it, the right of Herod's henchmen to kill the infant messiah in the womb of his mother.

     Therefore, beloved, we do applaud those prelates who have had the courage to excommunicate those who will champion abortion. It is about time that the Roman Church stood [strong] for the birth of the Christ, and we are heartened by these decisions.4 If the spiritual leadership of America does not cry halt to this massacre and this holocaust,5 then, I tell you, you may count the number of July Fourths that will remain to be celebrated. For this nation stands to lose the sponsorship of the Brotherhood for this very infamy!

     The fact that this continues shows, beloved, that many, if not the majority of the people, are under the control of the forces of Death and Hell itself. And [these forces] have been at work long enough to keep out of embodiment many, many Christed ones.

     Blessed hearts, you may weep at the thought of the abortion of a Christ such as Jesus. Well, I tell you, it has taken place on this soil! And this soil is bloodstained therefor. And that stain will not be washed out without a full national repentance! Why, this could be a day of national mourning, beloved, if the people knew who are the ones who are not here who ought to be here, even amongst yourselves and in every walk of life.

     Thus, it is one thing to weep for the physical death of the Christed one, but you must remember that no matter what the evolution, what the ethnic background, how impoverished anyone seems to be or [how] devoid of being able to transfer to a child some endowment of spirituality or ability, I tell you, God is able to bring forth his sons and daughters of Light through anyone. Thus, beloved, in all is the potential. No matter what their karma, they come with opportunity to make good, to turn against the Darkness, to refute all that has gone before of an evil sowing.

     Birth is opportunity. And thus Portia stands, willingly being blindfolded in the presence of every abortion that is performed, proclaiming the Divine Justice and the Divine Opportunity on behalf of each soul to again have a place prepared [in the womb of an earthly mother]. And [my Beloved] does extend comfort to each and every one who does go through that horrendous death.

     Blessed ones, America ought to weep! Therefore, I too come with a dispensation. It is a dispensation of the blue lightning of the Mind of God, of the sacred fire. And I AM determined and so [very] determined [because] our God has accorded me this day [the dispensation] for the hosts of heaven to go up and down the land to quicken consciences long dead, long turned over to the fallen angels of Death - to quicken them! to prick them! to warn them! and to let that lightning break the recalcitrance, the hardness of heart, the layers and layers of hatred of the Child and [of] the Mother that could allow someone to be so insensate and so dense as to deny the Life that is God. Truly, beloved, you must understand that this [denial of Life] is the hatred of God himself.

     But all those who have [opted to have] an abortion do not contain that hatred. They have allowed themselves to be influenced by the artful, the deceitful, the scientists, those in the medical profession and those who champion their "freedom" in pleasure and in a life of nonresponsibility. And, I tell you, it is the pastors in their pulpits who proclaim a life of nonaccountability for karma, for sin, and deny reincarnation [who stand accountable this day]! All of this [false doctrine] has given [women an] excuse for abortion.

     There are excuses at every level, from every standpoint, from every attitude and belief system [that is] held by the people of the nations. They will grasp at anything to deny the blatant truth that our God is a consuming fire.6 And this fire shall surely consume those who make the karma of influencing others to kill the unborn, the helpless, defenseless Christ.

     And surely, beloved, this sin against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven7 any of these until they fully repent and serve to bring forth every last child on this earth, or any other world where they may now be assigned, whose abortion they have influenced. And every jot and tittle will be paid. And I tell you, the pain, the pain of such a karma is beyond description.

     Let us consider, then, the pain of the karma of those who are silent on the issue yet know the Law. I do not suggest that you demonstrate in the streets [before abortion clinics] and make yourselves obnoxious before the world. But I do suggest that you give forth the true teaching, that you resurrect that teaching, that you place it in books [so] that [it] can be understood.

     For I tell you, when the judgment descends upon this nation for this abortion of these children of the Light and these sons of God and, yes, avatars, none will be held guiltless who have failed to speak out on this issue, to write on it and to defend that position [for Life]!

     Therefore take the opportunity wherever it may be. Better, beloved, to incur the wrath, the condemnation, the ridicule, the despite and even [to endure] being cast out of acceptable society than to be silent on the defense of Life. For it is by this rationale, this becoming accustomed to death [through the widespread acceptance of abortion], that all other approvals of death in every form continue to be allowed as the people are poisoned as they receive all types of substances into their bodies that cause the [slow] death of the brain, the [slow] death of the organs.

     Death is riding.8 And the Death Rider moves across this nation today, beloved. You can be certain of it. That pale horse has caught up!9 For the karma of Death must be put upon this planet ere there occur the death of the souls of a large portion of the people.

     You understand, beloved, that as swiftly as the karma descends the evil deeds cease, and individuals who receive that karma may come to an awareness by their karma of that which they have done. Thus, that their eyes might be opened, the Call has gone forth from the four hierarchs of Light10 to the pale horse. And thus you will come to understand that this [ride of the pale horse] is a major turning point in the Dark Cycle of April 23, 1990.

     Blessed hearts, the new heaven and the new earth is the place where all of these millions upon millions upon millions of souls are to be born. Let us begin with [new] beginnings here and now. Let us consecrate these temples, one and all of you, of any and every age. For if you are not able to give physical birth to children [or you] are not in the proper circumstance [to do so], remember this - that, overshadowed by the Divine Mother, you can give birth to the Divine Manchild in your heart.

     And you can cherish and cradle and rock that precious Child in your heart. And when you come to the altar of your Holy Christ Self, when you come to the altar and there see in the secret chamber of the heart even your Lord Gautama Buddha, you may bear in your arms the Divine Manchild, as I this day bear this Child and as Mother Mary does bear him. For the infant Child Jesus has come to appeal to hearts of stone in this nation, hearts hardened against the little children.

     Blessed ones, angels will come with us and we will not leave unattended any household, any place, any abortion clinic [where] any person, any father and mother are in this moment considering abortion [as an alternative to taking responsibility for Life]. We the Holy Family and all who were a part of that birth on earth and in heaven shall be there.

     Thus it is indeed "Christmas in July." Thus it is indeed by this sign of the God Star, Sirius, that we shall inculcate in the heart and the conscience of a nation the restoration to sanity and the elevation of the child to the position of [greatest] importance amongst all people of the population.

     We come, beloved, for the sands in the hourglass are running out wherein this nation may make a turnaround. You need to deal with and call for the judgment of those groups who would intimidate, blackmail, threaten and boycott states who are on the verge of putting in place those laws that will curtail abortion or put an end to it entirely except in very specific cases of the danger to the life of the mother.

     Blessed ones, these cases are rare but the law should allow for them. There should not be loopholes that allow for a broad interpretation, making excuses for abortion when there ought not to be abortion. You must meditate in your hearts, you must defend Life and you must pray for the will of God in every conception. And therefore when that will of God does take command, children will come forth who are intended to come forth.

     Thus it is given to a mighty people.

     The Mother of the Flame of the Keepers of the Flame Fraternity, your Messenger, does not let a day go by without calling to us for intercession for Lightbearers in the womb and [for] those intending to descend [into embodiment on planet earth].

     Blessed ones, may it be a prayer in your hearts. For by the prayer of just one, and then of many of you who have joined in [this prayer effort], many lifestreams have been spared, as angels have touched the hearts of mother and father. And no matter what the price, they have determined to bring forth the children they have conceived and for which they are therefore karmically responsible.

     May you see here [in this Community] the bringing forth of souls and their being raised up in a training appropriate for their victory and their service. May you see it spread to the entire world. For this is the desire of the God and Goddess Meru and their assignment to this Community.11

     Turn your attention, then, to the publishing of popular books and articles concerning this question [of abortion]. The one thing that can turn many hearts to the Light, beloved, is truly the Ascended Master teaching on this subject. For all other explanations or arguments for Life have not prevailed. And there are many who will listen [to you] and [many] who have listened when the film [A Soul That's Free] made by the students of Montessori International12 was played for them. Thus, the understanding of reincarnation, the life of the soul and the temple being prepared [in the womb] and the soul going forth and requiring that temple, all of these things, beloved, serve to convince those who have true hearts of reason and love that Life must be defended.

     I tell you, therefore, that all for which this nation was founded and to which it was dedicated is compromised, is blurred and becomes almost irrelevant when the fulcrum of society is not the giving birth to the Christ. Such as it has become, adults no longer give birth to their own Christhood and they deny the birth of that Christhood in offspring whom they disallow.

     O would to God, as I pray to him before you, that there might be a turnaround this day in education and in the defense of Life! Then we could tell you truly, truly, that the possibility of that golden age is at hand. But until these things are solved we cannot tell you this. Yet, the flame of hope will never go out in our hearts, as it does not go out in yours.

     I may say to you, then, that though this be a subject heavy upon our hearts this day for the horrendous consequences to all people, I shall seal it now, for I believe you understand our burden and I know it is your own. Let us pray for these little ones and pray that souls who must yet embody be brought forth.

     Now then, I would take up with you other concerns and matters that are before the Lords of Karma, knowing that you will not neglect this our Call nor [neglect] to remember us midst your celebrations and to send us a prayer and a heartfelt support, especially a call in your heart to cut free those who must receive our message.

     We must turn our attention, then, to the Community of the Holy Spirit, this Sangha of the Buddha, and the Keepers of the Flame worldwide and the communicants and those who are students of the Ascended Masters.

     This Community is threatened in this day by fallen ones and archdeceivers in all levels and in all areas where they have placed themselves in positions of power. May you forget not that in this hour of the rebirth [of the nation] the same opposition is leveled at this Community as was leveled at me and at Mary two thousand years ago, at the Christ Child and at what would come forth even out of the Essene community, even out of the mystics of God that had been awaiting His day.

     This Community being established, beloved, will secure a place for many Christed ones. That is why I ask you to rise early to make your calls and to respect El Morya's request for the 5:00 a.m. decree sessions wherever you are in the world.13 This is the hour of communion when angels carry forth your commands and your messages and your blessings to a world. And it is also [the hour] when many dark deeds and plots and conspiracies waiting to happen can be stopped and aborted.

     May you know, then, [that] there is nothing more important to the success and the victory of planet earth, and the Great White Brotherhood on it, than this victory of this Community in all areas now posed [as threats] by those who are taking legal action from the level of the federal government, the state government, the county government and [by] those who aid and abet their cause in the press and in the citizenry, who have long, long been dedicated to the forces of anti-Light.

     Let us understand that this battle is being won, [that it] can be won, but it must not be neglected for a moment. For the preservation of this circle will give to many, many, many souls in all future generations the continuity of the Word and the Path. And that continuity must not be broken, else how will the little ones taking embodiment be given that flame and be able to transfer it to their own?

     And so, beloved, this Community is greater than the sum of its parts. And when some of its parts take their leave for other courses and other calls, they then are equal to the sum of their parts and nothing more. For they [no longer retain] that mystical oneness, that additional element of tremendous power that is the multiplication by the Holy Spirit of all of your prayers, your works, your deeds, your publications, your Teachings, your thoughts and feelings.

     This Community, then, is many thousand times more powerful than the sum of individuals in it. For you have, beloved, the backing of the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood as long as you serve your God according to his Law and his Love and his Honor and his Truth.

     So then, inasmuch as each one of you has the reinforcement of many more, giving you that impetus to victory and making possible your ascension (which was not possible before you became a part of this activity), wherever you are on earth [serving in your niche as] a part of this Community, I say to you, remember: of you, to whom so much has been given, it may be required - for the balancing of accounts, for the paying of debts of karma and for the restoration of the flame of cosmic honor - to do those things that you may feel you are not responsible to do.

     I, Saint Germain, speak to you directly about those individuals, those businesses and corporations in the local area that are owed money by members of this Church. Beloved ones, this must be resolved swiftly. And if you must leave the area, as the Messenger has told you, to go in search of work that can produce the income to meet the group responsibility, then I say it must be done!

     You have entered into contracts, you have formed groups and associations, you have attempted to do what has not been done before in the building of your shelters, in the accomplishment of many goals. Some have private debts for other reasons. But those who have come to you honorably, trusting your word, trusting to be paid, must be paid. And you must settle all of the arguments, all of the differences you may have with them or with one another.

     It remains a simple fact that if you have entered into these contracts, whether or not you consider the matter to be just, you must not allow your differences to cause those who are owed money to be left [in a lurch], some of them even [on the verge of] losing their businesses and compromising their very livelihoods [for your nonpayment of your obligations]. This is a karma to the entire Church and the entire Community and it does make you vulnerable.

     I suggest, therefore, where there are problems and where there are burdens and where there are misunderstandings and where there are arguments, that these be brought to the altar. These must be examined. These must be looked into and, come what may, there must be a settling of accounts.

     I am certain you realize that in many situations the Ascended Masters have been embarrassed by their chelas. Not on any one occasion but on many occasions have you seen how this has happened, whether through thoughtless acts and carelessness on your part or whether by deliberate design or whether by your karma or whether by your ignorance and naiveté. We have therefore had to take the blame for the actions of our chelas even as you have had to take, in a stalwart way, the ridicule for your belief in us.

     And so, beloved, we are determined, as we desire to see you determined this day, to be able to go before the Lords of Karma ere this year has ended with these matters settled; for we, quite frankly, cannot seek new dispensations when these [money] matters, [these karmic debts,] are unresolved.

     Remember to expand the love flame in your heart. Remember that I, Saint Germain, as Joseph have told you that in this hour you must remember the little child and the Manchild. And if you are entangled in these sorts of karmas, there cannot be the forward movement of all that we can and shall do, [if you will allow it,] in this interval that has truly been bought with a price you know not by your own beloved El Morya.

     I speak to you of El Morya now for his dedication to each and every one of you, for his heart's love. El Morya is there and able and [willing and] free to help you in any situation. I ask, however, that you "pay in advance" by giving his decrees and using the tapes the Messengers and chelas have provided for this purpose,14 giving to El Morya the energy he requires to intercede in your behalf.

     Is a nine-day novena to El Morya too much to ask for his entering into your life and world to solve these very financial problems and to help you multiply your supply and to help you in your consciousness whereby you [sometimes] stray into schemes that are full of folly and whereby some of you are yet taking advantage of one another and helping yourselves to one another's pocketbooks by selling those [products] that ought not to be sold?

     Blessed ones, we must understand, and I speak of this entire Community, that anyone who has a doubt about a situation of investment or finances may easily write a letter to be taken to the altar. El Morya will comment or he may not comment, but he will tell you so and you will hear it straight from the Chief, as the Law allows him to speak. If I were you, [living] in this age of such uncertainty in the economy, I would want to have that advice.

     Now then, if you will give to El Morya the due that is due him in your love and decrees, you will find that these problematical questions can come to an end and you can move forward.

     That which is upon my heart, therefore, in conclusion, has to do with those Lightbearers that we are trying with all determination and all powers of angels to connect to this activity. There must be a reaching out to them by every individual in this Church and Community worldwide. There must be a new look at how to bring the Teachings [to the many whose souls are crying out to God for them], how to write them, how to teach them, how to spread them, how to preach them.

     You must go to the fount of Christ and know your oneness with this Jesus, who has borne for you for two thousand years a percentage of your karma, and a large percentage at that, [in addition to] the karma of the world.15

     If you have never acquainted yourself with the heart of Jesus, I say you ought to. For there is a debt here where this Son of God has taken that position of bearing the burden [of your karma] in the fervent, fiery hope that you would come to that moment of realization that your individual Christhood is the only price that you can truly offer and pay for the gift of so great a salvation that you have enjoyed [through the heart of Jesus].

     Therefore rather than becoming enangered with God for the descent of your karma, you should become more profoundly and passionately grateful to Jesus that you walk here this day with life and limb intact and mind and heart, bodies able, and in a nation where you yet have commodities, where you yet have money, where you yet have opportunity.

     Thus I tell you, the heart that is full of fervor and oneness with Jesus - and you know you can arrive there by the true path of mercy, compassion and charity and love - that heart, beloved, is the one that can turn around a world and convert a world. For when you have this fire of love for Jesus, you and Jesus are one and you walk together and you move together and he will speak through you and you will find your Christ Self truly one [with Jesus] in your temple.

     It has been mentioned that those who are not in proper balance in their bodies are sanpaku.16 Well, beloved ones, I consider anyone who is sans (or sans) the Christ in his temple, that is, without the Christ, to be in that condition of sanpaku, which makes one vulnerable to death and vulnerable to accident. It is well that the body be strong and that it be in balance; but if you neglect making your peace with your God, you yet have that [sanpaku] condition in your four lower bodies.

     Therefore, my call to you is to reach out, to call for the [walls to come tumbling down] - walls of hatred, prejudice, bigotry, misunderstanding, ridicule, distortion of the Teachings, manipulations by the press - [call for] all of these walls to come tumbling down that there might be open contact between your heart and the hearts of all Lightbearers of a planet.

     We shall pave the way this day for the opening of hearts and the melting of hearts. Do not fail to make the call to Astrea to encircle the hearts of a people, to prick their conscience and to break down this hardness. For until it is gone, they will not receive the little child in the womb, they will not receive the Christ Jesus, [they will not receive the blessed Mother, Mary,] they will not receive me, they will not receive their own Mighty I AM Presence!

     In this land, therefore, that is dedicated to the I AM THAT I AM and to the Mighty I AM Presence, we stand this day and we stand for freedom and we say [with El Morya], "Let the chips fall where they may!" Let Keepers of the Flame not forget that the day of judgment and of karma is at hand. You cannot neglect this consideration as you make your decisions as to what you will do from day to day.

     My fiat to you remains the same: Be prepared! Be prepared in every level of your being. Be prepared for your ascension. Be prepared for change. Be prepared for the increase of the Light and be prepared for the descent of the Darkness.

     Do not flinch. Do not move. Do not move an inch, beloved! For I AM with you, and this battle must be won all the way. If you win it in part, you should consider it lost. There is no partial victory in any war. Either you have all the victory and you are willing to give your all to it, else you cannot claim any portion of it.

     Think on these things, beloved, for there are many, many, many components to the Victory. And those who have spoken in this conference have surely outlined them - what must take place within, what must take place without and what must be dealt with in the defense of Life.

     Now, therefore, defend the life of Community and of the child and you will see change and new dispensations for America. In the meantime remember, where you are is the new heaven and the new earth and where I AM is the new birth of Christ in all Americans who will not reject us this day.

     Putting all ponderous matters aside, I say to you: I wish you a most happy and glorious and spirit-sparked and -infired Fourth of July!

     Keepers of the Flame, happy Independence Day!

     [80-second standing ovation]

     This dictation by Saint Germain and Portia was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Wednesday, July 4, 1990, during the twelve-day conference FREEDOM 1990: "A New Heaven and a New Earth" held at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. [N.B. Bracketed material denotes words unspoken yet implicit in the dictation, added by the Messenger under Saint Germain and Portia's direction for clarity in the written word.] Throughout these notes PoW is the abbreviation for Pearls of Wisdom.

28.1  I AM the Witness - July 22, 1990

Vol. 33 No. 28 - I AM the Witness - July 22, 1990

     I AM the Witness

     Every moment of my life - Gratitude -Gratitude -Gratitude - fills my heart. The Goddess of Liberty was my first dictation. I am grateful for the events that took place Sunday, November 17, 1985, at the Penta Hotel in New York City. I would like to share with you the events of that day.

     On Thursday, November 14, my husband saw the poster announcing the New York conference with Elizabeth Clare Prophet and the Teachings of the Ascended Masters at the Penta Hotel. He was elated when he saw the poster with Mother's picture in the center surrounded by the Masters. He said to me, "I have been looking for this all my life."

     He asked me to teach his scheduled Friday evening seminar so he could go to the meeting. I was happy to do this for him.

     He was so enthusiastic about his experience at the meeting Friday night that he asked me to join him on Saturday. My office staff could not work on Saturday, so I had to open the office and be there myself. When I related this to him, he told me emphatically, "My name is on the door. I am telling you to close the office and be at the Penta Hotel at 3:00 p.m."

     I was taken aback by his unusual tone and insistence with me, so I obeyed. I closed the office at 2:30 and went to the Penta Hotel.

     The service was very different from what I was accustomed to at Self-Realization Fellowship, where we sit in meditation and a quiet atmosphere prevails. I experienced the power of the spoken Word for the first time. The joyful music touched my heart. The Goddess of Liberty gave a dictation.

     Until that dictation, I never really thought of New York City as being beneath the Temple of the Sun and it put so much together for me. The dictation brought so much more importance geographically to New York City - the expression of creativity and freedom and the Liberty flame anchored in the very Statue of Liberty itself!

     The next morning, Sunday, my husband attended the healing service. He left early. He asked me to go.

     I will quote from my diary: "I am not going back today. I feel the need to be away from crowds. I feel the need for my seclusion with God; to be alone in meditation on this Sabbath Day. So, I am home alone with God in meditation, and the study of my S.R.F. Lessons. I have worked very hard all week at the office. I am tired, my throat is scratchy, and I have a headache."

     At 1:30 p.m., I was sitting up on my bed reading for the sixth time Paramahansa Yogananda's book Man's Eternal Quest. Suddenly, the words THIS IS THE SUN'S DAY got huge! This is an Ascended Master Teaching: We are all Children of the Sun. Therefore we worship on SUNDAY.

     The thought passed. I snuggled down and continued reading for another hour. I looked out of my bedroom window where the American flag continuously blows in the breeze over the Guardian Life Building. "Guardian Life" is a huge neon sign on the top of the building under the American flag. I have always had a strong patriotic feeling for my country. I can readily understand Francis Scott Key's joy when he discovered that "our flag was still there!"

     Suddenly, the American flag began getting bigger and bigger. I thought this amazing. Then I remembered that Elizabeth Clare Prophet teaches that we are members of the "I AM" RACE. This means that we each have a Mighty "I AM" Presence and the letters of the words "I AM" Race are taken from the word America. AMERICA! Well, I jumped out of bed, got dressed and ran down to Third Avenue to hail a taxi. There were eight people there waiting for a cab, but suddenly they were gone. A cab pulled up to me and I said, "I am going to the Penta Hotel." The driver bowed his head over praying hands and said, "I know. I am here to take you to the meeting."

     This was too much for my comprehension. He talked to me about Paramahansa Yogananda all the way through the heavy traffic of Manhattan. When we arrived at the hotel, I thanked him and bid him a good day. He smiled and shook his head knowingly.

     At 2:45 I went up to the room where the services were to be held. I sat near the entrance, so I could see my husband when he came in because he was so anxious to have me attend and I wanted him to know I was there. The conference had adjourned for lunch and about six to eight people stood in groups talking.

     I was waiting there alone when suddenly through the double door came this "character." I thought to myself, "What kind of an organization is this? This man looks like he is going to a masquerade ball!" He was dressed in purple velvet britches and jacket, a white satin blouse and white boots. He wore a beige felt hat with large purple, pink and white plumes. What an appearance he made!!!

     He was so stately. He walked in front of me and looked right at me. I will never forget his eyes! Then he walked down the side aisle, passed between two rows of chairs, went up to the altar and disappeared. I looked all around for him again, but he was gone.

     After the words in the book - SUN'S DAY - the AMERICAN FLAG, the INDIAN CAB DRIVER - NOW THIS! I thought, "What is happening to your mind? You better not tell anyone about this. They will think you are crazy!"

     Mother was autographing books. I bought one and waited in line. Finally, it was my turn to meet Mother. I sat opposite her and she said my name and, "Don't you know me?"

     I said, "No. I never saw you before in my life."

     She said, "I think someday you will find that you know me."

     Another strange event:

     Saint Germain and Portia dictated and the conference came to a close. I could not forget the unusual experiences, but I told no one. My husband decided to sell the Masters' books in our TV Success School. After three weeks, I was inspired to look up Saint Germain's name in the encyclopedia. There was the picture of the man I had seen at the Penta Hotel! I called our book salesman and asked him if he would come and talk to me. He came, and for the first time, I related to him the events of Sunday, November 17, 1985. He broke out in this glorious smile and said, "That was Saint Germain. He made an appearance to you."

     After learning this I sent for my Pearls of Wisdom immediately and became a Keeper of the Flame.

     When I was initiated into Kriya Yoga I was told, "You will meet your living Guru in this lifetime." The promise has been fulfilled.

     Elizabeth Clare Prophet is my Guru - All Glory to God and the Ascended Masters. I am a teacher and I teach with her and I teach for her. I thank El Morya. I am here in his Ashram. I thank Napoleon Hill for the Positive Mental Attitude Course - PMA. To me it means the Power of the Mother Age - the Aquarian Age of Saint Germain.

     I am grateful to Jesus and Kuthumi. They guide and direct my teaching every day as an instrument of the Great White Brotherhood. I also thank the Goddess of Wisdom for her help.

     My loyalty to the lineage of Self-Realization Fellowship Gurus - Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, Swami Sri Yukteswar and Paramahansa Yogananda - remains forever. The Unascended Master Yogananda guided and directed my way that Sunday, November 17, 1985, to Saint Germain and the Teachings of the Ascended Masters.

     My beloved Saint Germain - a positive mental attitude is the Victory Flame! Our Church Universal and Triumphant, the Community of the Holy Spirit and the Lightbearers on planet earth welcome your Aquarian Age!

2 Archangel Raphael is the divine complement of Mother Mary. When Mary took incarnation on earth, having been chosen by God to give birth to Jesus Christ, the Avatar of the Piscean Age, Archangel Raphael did not embody with her but overshadowed her throughout her mission. Saint Germain embodied as Joseph, having been chosen by God to be the husband of Mary. His twin flame, the Ascended Lady Master Portia, also did not take embodiment but overshadowed him.

4 Abortionists excommunicated. On June 1, 1990, Bishop Rene H. Gracida of Corpus Christi, Texas, formally excommunicated Rachel Vargas, director of the Reproductive Services abortion clinic. In his letter to Ms. Vargas, Bishop Gracida stated: "Your cooperation in procuring abortions is a sin against God and humanity and against the laws of the Roman Catholic Church." He has also excommunicated Dr. Eduardo Aquino, an obstetrician in the Corpus Christi area who performs abortions. In 1986 Bishop Louis Gelineau of Providence, Rhode Island, announced that a woman had in effect excommunicated herself by directing Planned Parenthood in Providence. The woman, Mary Ann Sorrentino, received a letter from a priest on the bishop's behalf, saying she had brought excommunication upon herself. On June 14, 1990, John Cardinal O'Connor, the Archbishop of New York, issued a strongly worded statement in Catholic New York, the archdiocesan weekly newspaper, warning Catholic politicians who persistently supported abortion rights that they were at risk of excommunication. In his statement, which sparked much public controversy, he wrote: "Where Catholics are perceived not only as treating Church teaching on abortion with contempt, but helping to multiply abortions by advocating legislation supporting abortion, or by making public funds available for abortion, bishops may decide that, for the common good, such Catholics must be warned that they are at risk of excommunication." Cardinal O'Connor also pleaded with Catholic officeholders that they be ready "even to accept political defeat, should such be the result, rather than sacrifice human life."

16 sanpaku [Japanese, literally "three (san) whites (paku)"]: a condition in which three white sides show around the iris of the eye. The white of the eye seen beneath the iris (while a person is looking directly forward) denotes a state of extreme physical and spiritual imbalance. A person who is sanpaku may be accident-prone and vulnerable to death. Symptoms include chronic fatigue, poor appetite, inability to sleep soundly, ill humor, poor instinctive reactions and lack of precision in thought and actions. See Sakurazawa Nyoiti (George Ohsawa), You Are All Sanpaku, trans. William Dufty (New York: Carol Communications, Citadel Press Book, 1965), available through Summit University Press.
