Drink This Cup of My Christhood
Let Us Get On with the Science of Being!
The Quickening of the Heart
My Own and My Beloved,

     I call you holy ones of God, for this is the nature - the true nature - of your soul. I descend into this city, consecrated to my Mother, to tear from you the veil,1 that you might see face to face2 and know your God.

     I am Jesus, your brother, and truly I am Saviour but I cannot save that which does not consider itself worthy to be saved. I speak to the soul, then, who may discover her worthiness in the mirror of that Christhood which I bear:

     Ye are all made in the image and likeness of God from the beginning. You may have sinned, beloved, but you are not forever "sinners."3 You are ascending the cycles of being. You are destined for immortality. You are destined to shuffle off this mortal coil and enter the coils of ascension's flame!

     Yes, my Magda is with me and we are in the glory of the white fire body. And we bring to this city and all servants of God within it truly the comprehension of the new heaven and the new earth.4 You shall not all weep but you shall be transformed, and that transformation by the Holy Ghost can come upon you whenever you are truly ready to receive it.

     Let the walls of doctrine come tumbling down! Enter ye into the gates of my heart, for it is my heart that is the open door whereby you enter in to the Holy of Holies. Wash thy garments, O my beloved! Receive the Refiner's fire and be taken up now in that sense of the rapture of my Presence!

     My Presence is upon you all, each and every one. Yet each of you will appropriate my Light as you are able to establish a sense of coequality with me from the beginning.

     Are we not all born out of the same white fire body of God? Is not the Logos, the living Word, the fount of creation?

     I say to you, either you are sons and daughters of God or you are not. And if you are, and I say that you are, then dispense with the shrouds of Death and Hell put upon you for centuries of incarnations!

     Rise in the mystery and the spiral of the resurrection flame! Rise in vibration and in consciousness and in oneness and claim your sonship! And then go forth to prove it, to set the example. Be willing to retrace your footsteps, karmic footsteps, one by one, putting off the skeins of a lesser self and internalizing that Word.

     To this end was I born and for this cause came I into the world: to give you the great mystery of the Christos. Yet they have taken away that mighty presence.

     O beloved, receive Communion as my Body and my Blood in this hour. This is the Alpha-to-Omega, for I have said it:

     "I AM Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending."5

     Therefore I am one in you in the beginning and the ending of the cycles of the Father and the Mother. I am there for the re-creation of your worlds. I am there for the inner resolution. I am come to make you whole.

     Resist not your wholeness! Were there not a point of Light in you from the beginning, there would be no point from which that wholeness could be expanded. Thus, as the seed of God in man does grow and does mature and bring forth the newborn babe, so the seed of Light does contain the whole cosmos of thy becoming.

     Is not Nature thy teacher, O beloved ones, in this regard? Therefore every tree does come forth from its seed after its own kind6 in its own time.

     Thus your soul is ready, beloved, but the overlay of the intellectual mind, the doubting mind, the fearful mind does place that wall between you and me. And I, beloved, must leave to your free will the taking down of that wall. But I establish a quickening in your heart whereby faith might be born in you to know that God has also endowed you with eternal Life.

     Let us get on with the science of being! Let us get on with our reason for being and let us know that in a state of sin and the sense of sin, struggle and the sense of struggle, there is not the vessel that we need upon earth to carry the Light to neutralize the momentums of Darkness moving in the earth.

     Truly the Divine Mother does weep for her own on the battleground of life. Truly, beloved, let the Light descend! Let it be directed into the Middle East for the consuming of ages-old conflict!

     Were the war to end tomorrow, the war would continue, beloved, as Arabs and Jews continue to dispute land occupation, matters of religion, matters of supply and economics.

     Blessed hearts, these things ought not to be! Yet the entrenched divisions between these peoples have come down for centuries and millennia as they have reincarnated again and again, only to not let go of the causes of their original division.

     Now I come. I come knocking upon the door of each and every one. I come again with my flame, the all-consuming flame of Divine Love. I come to heal the hurt and the sense of vengeance.

     Yet, beloved, understand that the response of free will is needed. It is a requirement. As God has endowed all of his creatures with free will, so they must exercise that free will to receive the transfer of Light that can indeed in the twinkling of an eye7 bring about the healing of ancient records.

     Thus, beloved, some cry out in anger against God, "Why does God allow it?" God [allows it because he has first] allowed free will. And the rest is the responsibility of man. To understand this is to begin the true path of a cosmic accountability for all of your footsteps day by day.

     I come to tell you that my Teachings were indeed lost and that they are being restored today. It is almost too late, beloved, for so much has been lost over the centuries and so much karma has been made by the sins [of omission], as has been discussed this evening.

     Thus, beloved hearts, may you become shining ones! May you embody the Light and may your Light so shine8 that they will know that this inner Light is truly the transfer from my heart, is truly the sign that you are disciples indeed9 and that all can so become and none, not even the hardened sinner, is left aside. All can enter in [if they repent of their deeds].

     But, beloved, if you cannot see and accept my Christhood, how can you see and accept your own? Even those who can see my Presence cannot accept that this Presence is also the Presence of God with them and that this is the heart and reason of my coming. This, then, is the lie of division[ - that the Christ can be and is in Jesus, but that the Christ cannot be and is not in you].10

     The quickening [of the heart], beloved ones, [were it to take place] in the millions of planet earth who are already servants of God, already of the faith, could bring about a tremendous turning of worlds, even the healing of the economy, even a mitigation of those things projected upon this decade of which you have been taught.

     A change in consciousness upon earth by the simple application of the Teachings I have brought would bring about the healing of the nations and a liberation of all the churches.

     Truly I come, even burdened in this hour to see how the children of Light on every continent and in every faith have been deprived of my offering of the cup of Selfhood.

     Drink this cup of my Christhood! Drink ye all of it11 and fear not to enter in to the mystical union with your God.

     Ye are of the Father-Mother, who love you with a profound love, who do not condemn you, who do not call you "sinners" but call you Home. "Come Home, our children!" they say. And I bring their message.

     O cherished ones, ye who are loved, be not dismayed by the condemnation of the world! For I, Jesus, have overcome the world12 and you shall also. May you receive the mantras of the violet flame and know the supreme worth of giving unto God the joy of your heart and voice in invocation and prayer. This weaves the connection between God and man and man and God. And the soul is weaving her wedding garment through prayer, through the Hail "Ma-Ray."

     Blessed hearts, drink of this cup of my Selfhood and recognize the God-potential in yourself and everyone whom you meet and see how the world takes on the sense of the rapture of God's holiness.

     O beloved, let us turn around an age! Let us see the Darkness be consumed by the sacred fire of our Love! Truly we are one in the living flame of Love.

     I direct my heart's Light to the youth of the entire world, to children bruised and battered. I direct Light to them. Will you be the instruments of my Light to them, God's hands and feet and hearts extended to save the children? to save them from reaching that point where they become a part of the many who partake of drugs and marijuana and of unwholesome substances?

     Be my hands and feet, O beloved! Go for me and awaken them, quicken them, speak to them! As I spoke with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth!"13 so I speak to the souls of the youth:

     "I have a path and I would take you on that path to reunion with God. I am not removed from you. I, too, knew childhood and youth midst adversity and challenges untold. My love is with you, each and every one."

     O parents and teachers and wise ones among you - all of you, I say - go after the youth who have been betrayed! They are the ones who are crucified upon the cross this day and the Christ in them is crucified. And they are not fed the bread of Life, they are not fed therefore that Body and Blood of my Teaching whereby in the assimilation process they may come to understand themselves, too, as extensions of the Most High.

     Do you not see how the forces of Death and Hell concentrate on the destruction of the youth and how the people are hypnotized to neglect them, to not give to them the true Teaching and a reason for living instead of dying?

     There is a psychological suicide and a spiritual suicide that precedes the destruction of the body day by day and drop by drop by drugs intaken. Pray for them! Dedicate prayer vigils in their behalf. Go after and save that which is lost!14

     Truly I did declare, "I AM the Light of the world!"15 But I also said, "Ye are the Light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid."16 So long as I AM in the world, I AM the Light of the world, beloved, but I am no longer of this world and therefore you, my disciples, [who are in this world,] must embody that Light, that I AM THAT I AM, that portion of Christos that is yours to claim.

     See the great calling and see how the doctrines of sin and the sense of sin have denied most of the people of this planet the sense of self-worth [they need] to go forth in my name. Let all of this, as with the sound of the Seven Archangels and the hosts of the LORD, be stripped from those who deep within their hearts know that God is real and is real in them.

     Save the homeless and the street people from that sense of abject self-negation. No one has told them that they are worthy to follow me in the resurrection. Their tenure upon earth wanes. What will happen to those souls as they depart this life? - a life that has been ended in the uselessness, the non-will, the non-sense of being of those who vegetate in the streets of the cities of the world.

     Reach out, beloved, and my hand shall reach out through you! Be converted this night to serve those who sense they are the poor in spirit and are ready to become the rich in spirit.

     I claim you as apostles of Christ, as revolutionaries who shall go forth to establish my revolution for woman - archetypal Woman who does bring forth the Manchild, the Woman in each of you that does give birth to the Christ of the heart.

     Ye are all feminine in nature and all masculine. Weigh, then, the issues of Life and Death and the hereafter and go forth in my name and service. I will be with you, and where two or more gather17 you will see the multiplication of your forces by my Presence.

     I am anchoring a Light in this city for the reversing of the spirals of violence, of crime, of teenagers lost in street battles when they could be walking the path of the high Himalayas and could know the Great Lights of all centuries of East and West.

     Where are the role models for them? Who will teach them that I have established the Way? Who will go and do likewise in the imitation of my heart's Love and therefore stand in the cities and in the country and everywhere in the highways of life as my representative, my disciple?

     I pray you will say, "We will!" my beloved.

     ["We will!"]

     In this hour, then, I seal you in the power of the Trinity, in the power of the Mother. And as Above, so below, I bring the higher and the lower self into greater proximity by my intercession and my mediatorship.

     In the eternal Love of our Father-Mother God, I, Jesus, bow to their Light within you.

     This dictation by Jesus Christ with Magda was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Friday, February 15, 1991, at the Whole Life Expo in Los Angeles at the Pasadena Convention Center. The dictation followed the Messenger's lecture "The Lost Teachings of Jesus on Women's Rights 2." In it she discussed Jesus' revolution for woman, which he announced through his preaching, and the later denial by the orthodox Christian hierarchy of woman's rightful role in the Church and consequently in society. The Messenger presented the apostle Paul's teachings on women and the findings of recent scholarship that indicate that Paul was not the author of I Timothy. Statements in this epistle and misinterpreted verses in I Corinthians are the basis upon which the fate of women in both Church and State has rested for two thousand years. Topics also included women in the early Church and in Christian Gnosticism; the principle of God as Mother in Gnostic and Hindu teachings; the Holy Spirit as feminine in Jewish mysticism; the masculine and feminine natures in both man and woman; clerical celibacy and the doctrine of original sin. The lecture and dictation are available on videocassette (149 min., GP91028) and on audiocassette (148 min., A91026). The videocassettes of the lecture and dictation are also available separately: lecture, 114 min. (HP91028; dictation, 35 min. (HP91030). [N.B. Throughout this Pearl, 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.

8.1  I AM the Witness - February 24, 1991

Vol. 34 No. 8 - I AM the Witness - February 24, 1991

     I AM the Witness

     Since I was 18, I sought the truth about the Buddha. I studied the Diamond Sutra of the Buddha and took courses in Buddhism at the University of California at Santa Barbara. I was led to the writings of Theosophy and began to perceive a relationship between the Christ and the Buddha and Krishna.

     In the spring of 1971 I studied a Buddhist text that described Lord Maitreya as the "Coming Buddha," the 500th Buddha who "was to come." It was a rare old text in the university library and a most unusual statement was written therein. It said that if you call upon the name of Lord Maitreya for five days in succession, he will appear to you.

     This was an amazing statement to me. I had never even heard of Lord Maitreya before, yet the idea of calling upon a great Buddha and Cosmic Being and having him actually appear to me appealed to my love of the mystical. I therefore proceeded to call upon the name of Lord Maitreya many times a day for five days. When after a week nothing happened, I nearly gave up hope.

     Finally, approximately ten days after I had concluded calling upon the name of Lord Maitreya, a friend came to visit me in my home carrying in her hand the little book The Overcoming of Fear through Decrees by Lord Maitreya (now chapter 3 in The Science of the Spoken Word).

     When she handed it to me I was flabbergasted! How could a Buddha and Cosmic Being of such greatness in the universe actually have written a little book and then ten days after I called to him have the book appear in my hands!

     I opened the book with the most profound reverence and awe. I was hit by an aurora borealis of dazzling light, a sunburst of powerful energy. The presence of Lord Maitreya, like the genie of the lamp, towered before me as though he had just stepped forth from his book!

     After that experience I found the Teachings of the Ascended Masters by Mark and Elizabeth Prophet at the Motherhouse in Santa Barbara. And ever since, I have been blessed by the radiance of the Ascended Masters pouring forth every week in their transcendent Pearls of Wisdom, in dictations that I have witnessed as well as heard on tape. The Masters truly walk through the veils of time and space in the pages of their written and spoken words! God is with us - EMMANUEL! in the presence of our Prophet and Messenger, Elizabeth Clare Prophet.

     After I found Lord Maitreya walking on earth through Mother, I returned to the university library to find that mystic passage again where it was written that I should call upon the name of Lord Maitreya for five days and he would appear. That rare volume no longer existed in the library's card catalogue and no trace was ever found by myself or the librarian of any Buddhist book with that passage written in it!

     If you would like to try the same experiment, you can use any of the Buddhist mantras that Mother has taught us and call upon the name of Lord Maitreya for five days: Maim; Om Maitreya Maim; Namo Maitreya; Maitri Maitri Maha Maitri Svaha; Om Ah Maitreyanathaya Hum Phat Svaha.

     Dear Mother,

     Having come into the Teachings of the Ascended Masters within the first month following Mark's ascension, I have had the wonderful opportunity to be on the Path for almost 18 years.

     The witness I give spans these years. It is not one miraculous healing or happening that stands out alone but the accumulation of years of the constant closeness of the Brotherhood in great and small ways. There is no question as to the absolute Truth of these Teachings, these Messengers, and this Community. It is simply a matter of whether or not those who come have eyes to see and hearts to accept the truth.

     The most important healing in my life was the conversion of my soul to the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ - the true and living Jesus, who is so tangibly manifest in these Teachings and in the lives of those who pursue this Path.

     Though of Chinese descent, I was raised Catholic and brought up in the Christian doctrine that makes Jesus the exclusive Son of God. At the age of 16 I questioned this doctrine as I tried to find out why no one would recognize Buddha and Confucius as equal to Jesus. I went to other Christian churches to find out what they had to say about Jesus.

     Everyone tried to explain to me that Jesus was the only Son of God and Buddha and Confucius were just good men. It was so heartbreaking to me. I could not find understanding in their answers. To reconcile what I thought must be my lack of understanding I placed Jesus at the same human level that people put Buddha and Confucius and I gave up believing that Jesus was someone special.

     As a result, when I first contacted these Teachings, I did not know the closeness to Jesus that I now experience. With my Oriental background it was much easier for me to believe in Buddha and Confucius and to feel them tangibly present than it was for me to relate to Jesus. I had spent so many years denying that Jesus was anything but a man like other men that I could not let him in.

     But Jesus' love for me was greater. He melted away my hardness of heart. And it didn't take long. When I realized it had happened, it seemed like it all had taken place in the twinkling of an eye.

     All it took was his constant sweet presence in the dictations and in Mother. And I felt his presence in the utter devotion of students and staff around me as he would manifest through them so tangibly. I felt him in the Holy-Spirit inspired lectures and the printed Word. Through these Jesus would take me to another time and place where I could know him heart to heart.

     Over the years since my conversion I have experienced many moments when Jesus would be in my heart whispering his love songs to my soul. The miracle of it all is that Jesus is ever transcending himself and thereby I am also transcending myself with him year after year.

     It is truly the wonder of the living Christ and the all-power of Love. Jesus Christ - the same yesterday, and today, and forever!

     Beloved Mother,

     My first class was in 1979, when my husband and I attended "Harpstrings of Lemuria" at Camelot. I had a religious background of 24 years of Catholic upbringing, including 12 years of parochial school and 3 years of contact with the Franciscan sisters while considering the holy order as my vocation.

     As I listened to you teaching at the conference and gazed upon the altar pictures of the I AM Presence, Saint Germain and Jesus, I found myself reacting to the picture of Saint Germain. All my life I had been taught that Jesus was the only Son of God. I didn't know if I even believed Saint Germain really existed - and yet here he was being portrayed as equal to Jesus.

     After squirming and struggling for quite some time, I left abruptly and went walking for about 10 to 15 minutes. After a brisk walk, I gave a mighty shout to the Lord: "God, I am going to leave unless you show me right now that this is where I am meant to be and that this is the Truth that my soul has longed for these many years!"

     This fiat released the pressure that had been building in my being and I was then able to return to the lecture in quietude. I was hardly in my seat 10 seconds when I was pulled out by a friend. She explained that she had just spoken with you, Mother, and that you, considering my burden, had asked her to arrange a meeting with a certain woman and myself.

     Somewhat mystified, I followed without question to Excalibur Square. There I was introduced to a woman of medium height and dark hair. My friend left and we sat down alone on the lawn next to the statue of Jesus and talked. I don't remember the woman's name but only that she had been a Catholic nun for about 17 years and had been studying the Teachings of the Ascended Masters for 7 years. Someone who would understand the aching of my heart!

     As we talked it was as though I shed a thousand years of old skins and donned new robes of light. Old doctrines that had been as barred doors swung wide open revealing mysteries I had prayed to understand for many years. I fired one question after another; as soon as she finished one, another poured from my mouth. Each question was answered with great poise and a truth that rang clear in my being. We talked a couple of hours though it seemed like only a few minutes.

     At the end of our conversation when all queries were exhausted, I thanked her and we said goodbyes. Just then, I turned to the statue of Jesus to give my overflowing gratitude, and a scene of great splendor was opened before me. There was Jesus standing with his arms outstretched with the multitudes of saints and Ascended Masters surrounding him in great glory. Jesus, whom I had always looked to with deep devotion, had a very BIG family I had never known.

     Now, instead of one Master to guide the way, there were myriad beings radiating that same eternal love to my heart. "Jesus, the only begotten Son," whose name I had recited thousands of times in prayers, was revealed as the ONE love in many forms. He, the Christ, the Son of God, was in all saints and ascended beings! It was awesome to realize that all the saints that I so loved had also attained the fullness of their individual Christhood - salvation through my Lord and Saviour and theirs. With absolute faith that has never wavered since that day, I accepted the Ascended Masters, one with the Mystical Body of Christ in heaven and on earth.

     It was then that I was reminded of a quote of Jesus from the Bible that I had clung to for so many years: " ... When the Spirit of Truth is come, he will guide you into all Truth; for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come."

     After almost 10 years on your staff Mother, I would like to bear witness that you are that instrument of the Holy Spirit - the true and living Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood. Thank you from the depths of my soul and heart for your uncompromising dedication to Truth!

     In 1978 I attended a lecture given by a student of the Ascended Masters. The lecture was interesting but at that time I couldn't see anything spectacular about it until the speaker began showing us how to decree.

     I had been standing by the door and when the decrees began I started to leave, but at that moment I saw a great swirling light come toward my third-eye chakra and an intense beam of light descend into my crown chakra. Needless to say, as I had never had an experience like that before, it got my attention!

     I decided at that point to see what kind of individual Elizabeth Clare Prophet was. I went to Minneapolis, where Mother was giving one of her wonderful Stump messages. I am a witness to the incredible experience that has left an indelible mark on my soul ever since.

     As Mother came on the platform she spoke with great love, wisdom and power. As I looked at her and listened, all of a sudden a huge white oval of light became apparent around her. This auric egg as well as a full-blown crystal cord enveloped her whole being. Her crown chakra was fully illumined by the crystal cord, which was the full width of her head, streaming upward toward the high ceiling. I also saw violet flames emanating from her hands. This vision lasted for over 10 minutes.

     To this day I can remember it clearly as though it just took place. This vision has given me strength in my weakest moments and comfort that no one could ever take from me, by the grace of God.

     I am a LIVING WITNESS to the Truth that Mother is the true Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood.

     In Everlasting Gratitude,
