Let the voice of America return to one voice, one sound of the will of God! Let the people of America come together in the reality of cosmic history and not a history revised.
Oh, let the people return to the Liberty flame, to the hour of their nation's birth, to the moment when all stood as one, stood tall before the world and said: "We are a united people! We are thirteen colonies, no longer separate but one. And out of the one that we are shall come the many manifestations of our God - e pluribus unum."
So the All-Seeing Eye of God is upon you. O America, follow its rays back to that Eye! Follow the rays to your oneness. Remove all that divides you and return to the hope, to the glory of God, to love, to union, to noble purpose and a certain simplicity of life that restores the highest virtue in each breast.
I am come this first day of the year 1993. I come to salute the chelas of the will of God and those who would be and those who might be. I salute the founder of the nation.
And therefore, you have seen a slice of the life of the one [George Washington]0 who carried in his heart truly the mission from the God Star and that of the Four and Twenty Elders; and yet, all was not known to his outer mind. His early ambition may be seen as self-seeking. We see it as self-finding - finding oneself, positioning oneself that one might be of use to one's peers.
Thus, beloved, be seated, then. Be seated at Mount Vernon this day and look out on the Potomac, the cold waters and the wind, and know of winter in the East and know that it is the fire of winter that inspires self-conquest. It is the fire of winter that compels sacrifice, whereby the old man is set aside, the new man is born; and that new man is one who is ready to give his all for the victory of a cause or to accept ultimate defeat.
Think how much [Washington] must have loved in order to place himself and his men on the line for the crossing of the Delaware and the defeat of the drunken Hessians. Yes, beloved ones, truly [such love] is the making of the man and of the woman and of the soul and of the child.
Those were the days when there did surely hang in the balance the entire blueprint for America. And that blueprint is yet there, overlaid upon the fifty states and more, overlaid upon the I AM Race.1
Much has come between the blueprint and that which [should have manifested] in the earth, much that must be righted. Yet it can be righted, for Saint Germain has released the dispensation of the golden age of Aquarius2 and our Mother Liberty stands tall in this hour - stands tall, beloved, to enfire every heart with its own mission.
That sense of mission must be all-consuming and propelling. Take heed, then, that it is not the product of the surface mind but of that which is deep within the psyche, which has been there for tens of thousands of years waiting its season of germination.
Yes, beloved, each one of you stands as an individual this day as you walk the grounds of Mount Vernon and consider the vista that Washington saw. Consider his hopes, his dreams. Consider how events themselves compelled him and how in those compelling events he, seeking to lead, did find himself at the right place at the right time. Think of the tremendous unfoldment of the Mind of Christ [that took place as he] no longer identified with a separate state or plantation but with the whole. [He held in his breast] the whole-eye vision and the entire cosmic conception [that is America].
To say, "I will not defend my home or my home state, for I have embraced the larger cause of the future of humanity" - to say this, beloved, does make you worthy to be a chela of the will of God. It is to have the vision, now enhanced by the presence everywhere of the All-Seeing Eye,3 the vision of a larger purpose, and to have the sense of self-worth that you might see yourself as a part of that purpose, to have the sense of self-worth that knows that although your role may seem insignificant, no one's role ever is.
For all count as a part of that one body, having one and several talents, each one bringing theirs to another and another, that there might be love's interchange and the rejoicing and the praising God in your midst and in your members, the praising God that all the pieces of the mighty mandala of Light may assemble to achieve the day of the cosmic morn. The cosmic morn is when the spiritual sun does rise. It rises in you. It rises in a world.
We are not separatists regarding America. We say that this is the place of the experiment of the Great White Brotherhood and of the endowment of Saint Germain. We say that if the experiment fails here, it will not succeed anywhere else. For the peculiar people of ancient Atlantis and even Lemuria have reincarnated here to take up where they left off and to finish the work begun.
Thus, America is more than a nation. It is yet a symbol to all people of the [ongoing] possibility for the realization of individual and world freedom. [The realization of this possibility] therefore rests upon the shoulders of those who have known freedom in the past, those who have embraced it and realized the expansion of the flame of Liberty in the heart.
Do you realize, beloved, that there are those in the world today who have tasted of freedom and yet cry out to return to their totalitarian regimes, to Communism and other forms of socialism?
It is because these souls have been denied the opportunity to unfold the principles of freedom not only in this century but in many past centuries. They have not been a part of ancient golden ages. Therefore the momentum of a unique and individual Christhood is not their personal inheritance.
Not all people upon earth in this hour find themselves suited to a way of life of such total independence [as can be found in America]. And even on these shores some lack the wherewithal to make right choices and to teach their children how to choose between real individual Christ-freedom and a certain license and wantonness that causes the desecration of the tree of life in every temple.
I AM Morya, Chief of the Darjeeling Council of the Great White Brotherhood, founder of The Summit Lighthouse, teacher of the Messengers, and your own beloved Bapu. I stand with you as though at the pinnacle of the world and [at the apex] of life on this Mount Vernon property.
As we survey [in our mind's eye] the capital city of the nation, we contemplate whether those who now take the reins of government shall indeed make an upward sweep into new dimensions of greatness, into the acquisition of the qualities of character of the living Christ. This we hope for. This we pray for. This we know must come to pass if America shall enter an age of self-transcendence and new birth.
But we are also realists. And we see how the life-force has been spent [by those who lead or would lead] and how many who rise to positions of leadership, though they have the training, though they have the intellect, do not have the balance of heart, [of threefold flame,] or even some semblance of an inner and deep spiritual path [that would afford them a] tie to octaves of Light.
What shall we do, then, as we survey [the available candidates] and the All-Seeing Eye of God does pinpoint the many lifestreams who shall take up their service full of hope, full of determination yet not always wise and not able to predict the future?
For they may be politicians (and there may even be some statesmen in their midst) but they are not prophets and they do not calculate in their planning the cycles of descending karma.
At no time in your personal history, O chelas of the will of God, has it been so important for you to understand the meaning of karma. And this is because so much [personal] karma of the ages falls due in this decade following the long cycle of that karma being borne by the Lord and Saviour.
Karma, then, can tip the scales suddenly. On one day you have all that it takes to accomplish the feat at hand; on the next, karma descends, the stock market falls, and you realize that the optimum moment has somehow slipped through your fingers and that which you have proposed is no longer a solution.
The days will be quixotic. Yes, beloved, note how events, like quicksilver, appear and suddenly disappear and you wonder where all of the planning has gone. Thus, it is good to concentrate. It is good to establish goals and meet them quickly and bring your efforts into physical manifestation so that you have something in hand to show besides many files in your filing cabinets. Many deliberations, many meetings and yet somehow the physical precipitation has escaped you.
This is the kind of year you can look forward to. If you want to get something done, do it quickly, beloved, before the moment is past. Beware of delays, and beware of delays on the path of your own individual life. Delays cannot be tolerated when the timetable is short.
Even if you should live to be 144 and you are now a babe in arms, I tell you, you have not a moment to lose to make the difference on planet earth. You might smile at this comment, beloved ones, for you are not used to so thinking. But I must bring you into consonance with Lord Gautama and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
What do we do, then, when we see that those who appear to be strong and youthful and to have all that it takes to run a government are in fact at inner levels handicapped spiritually?
Well, beloved ones, if we are to be our brother's keeper and our sister's keeper, then we must make up the difference! We must invoke the Light! We must call to the Cosmic Christs to descend into the temples of those individuals who have long ago lost their potential for Christhood. There is no other way when we consider that we are one body.
If we are one body and we believe that where there is life there is hope, then we must invoke a mighty intercession for the descent of Cosmic Christs that they might enter the arena [of the government and the economy] to overshadow those who simply are not equal to their times.
George Washington was a man who was equal to his times. But as you have understood [from the film], he had to grow into his boots, he had to grow into his uniform, he had to put on the Christ when he did not know that [what he was putting on] was the Christ or his Christhood. He put on his Higher Identity and moved forward even though he was beset with common faults that all have, thoughts of pride or ambition, desires to do this and that. Yes, beloved, he moved on, impelled by a higher guidance and the right hand of God.
This is the understanding I would give to you. You cannot sit on the sidelines and be a spectator, waiting [to be perfected so that you can begin your mission]. You know that you have a mission. You must be up and doing! You must be up and doing, beloved! You must realize that in the very process of doing what is the immediate greatest necessity, you are engaging with the forces of your time, with the energies of the planetary systems and the light of the sun itself.
Yes, beloved, each moment in cosmic history, each hour and day and year contains the energy necessary in order that all lifewaves of a Matter cosmos might respond [to the Higher Purpose] and bring the [distilled] essence of heart, of character, [of spirit] to that conglomerate of the Mystical Body of God worlds without end.
Note well, then, that many of the world's greatest leaders who have had the ultimate victory have not achieved it [merely] by superior intellect but more by staying power, by trial and error and by Providence interceding.
Sometimes, beloved ones, you could consider, without being superstitious, that there is a certain destiny for every individual. And when that set destiny does come [into focus] according to the geometry of creation, then forces work together to bring that individual to his supreme moment, his finest hour. [Isn't it interesting that] one seems never to know what is one's finest hour except in retrospect?
How does one know [in advance] which of the million acts one takes towards the goal will actually be the one that is the turning point that will guarantee the victory against which no outer force can stand?
One does not need to know this if one believes in God, if one lives under the shadow of the Almighty, the Mighty I AM Presence, and trusts the inner voice and cultivates the inner voice and the listening ear that is keen to know that inner voice.
[But often] one simply knows. One knows apart from all physical or mental faculties. That inner knowing and divine knowing is the overshadowing [of the Christ Presence] and the descent of the totality of a man or woman or child that bonds with the soul [and the spirit of God. And so the individual] comes together and becomes a profile of heroism.
This is something you can reach for and achieve! This is an hour and a day that your own Godhood must shine, lest there be no candles left in the earth that can maintain their flames against the gusts of winds that come from the fallen angels as they pass through in the point of self-disintegration.
Yes, answer the question! Will you see this as an hour of self-integration in God or will you see it as an hour of self-disintegration, disassociation from the Great Central Sun and from that point in the Sun where the Matter cosmos meets the Spirit cosmos and where you yourself may pass through that nexus and obtain permanent reality in the Godhead?
It will take many steps and heartbeats, many movements of the limbs, many thoughts inclined to God to find your way back over the many paths that you must retrace and the footprints [of your Guru and your karma] lost in the sands of the Sahara that you must find again. Yet [one day you] will suddenly uncover them - and then you will know the way to go and a door will be opened and another and another!
Well, beloved, I speak to you of the cause that is America: it is the cause of the heart and the heartbeat of America. It is the cause of the small nucleus who make up the capstone of the pyramid of this civilization. It is the cause of those who are going through the process of etherealization, spiritualization and self-transcendence and can hold the fire of the heart. It is the cause of those who come together to join in our cause and who recognize this wilderness land [to which we have summoned you] as the place where individuality stands out against the sky and against the mountains and against the barrenness of winter.
Through the valley the individual is supreme and yet he is measured, according to the Taoist concept, against the backdrop of a nature that is more vast. So God has created the vastness of [Nature's] great backdrop in order for you to be, and to be that Great Tao: this is the heart of the mystery of life!
Our cause, then, beloved, must be espoused as never before! As you wed your soul to this cause, [I remind you] that it was not millions who won for America in the beginning and it may not be millions who win in the end.
What counts is that spirits of Liberty [who are made] of a fire that will not be quenched [step forward and say to their general: "You can count on me!"]
What matters is that pilgrims of the ages who come marching down the centuries converge in this place and take a stand against planetary Evil and Darkness, a stand for youth and old age and all people, a stand for God, as he has a right to live in a creation that is made habitable for the Lord.
Thus I call you to a higher calling and a noble purpose. I call you to an ancient memory. I call you to recognize your supreme worth to my cause. I speak to you, beloved, and I do not desire to weary you in the [following] principle, but it must be said:
Unseen dark ones continue to whisper in the ear and project in the mind that you are not needed [here], that our cause is somehow lost, that there are better fields and better valleys and even other mountains to climb.
Ours is a holy purpose, and this Community does shine with those of you who stand [for God] and are willing to challenge forces that you cannot even calculate, whose numbers are unknown, whose energy coefficient is far beyond your awareness.
You have placed your ultimate trust in God. Do not withdraw it, but continue this labor [of love] to the finish that we might be done with a major challenge to our Church.
Let us look to the future. [But are ye able?] Perhaps your imagination must needs be quickened in an age when all things are drawn for you and [what was once the clean white page of] your imagination is [clogged with clutter and] not challenged. Think, then, of what you might have thought the future of America would be over the next two hundred years had you been there in 1775.
Yes, beloved, you may or may not have even dreamt of the glories of technology and of the millions who would come [to her shores] and how that fire of freedom would be preserved in their hearts and how all that you stood for would travel around the world many times so that little children in every nation would know the name George Washington and the figure of the Statue of Liberty and [the document that is] the Declaration of Independence.
How has [the spirit of] freedom so intensified and increased as the hope of the world even unto this hour of the [moral] decline of the civilization America?
Think, then, upon what this place will be two hundred years from now, what you would see here and upon this continent and what people [will bear witness to] as the fruits of your service.
[Well, I tell you,] it is either a zero or it is victory. This is what you learn in the way of a cause. Either a cause has total victory on behalf of all people - because the components of that cause were able to see a greater life beyond that human form and that human beating heart, a life on which millions unborn would depend - [or it has total defeat because the components lost the vision and did not clearly define their reason for being].
I appeal to your vision and to your sense of honor toward the centuries that are before you to see to it that there is established in the earth the clear and definite path of world religious freedom - the freedom to know God and the freedom to walk as an individual without being dictated to by Church or State or those of the Nephilim societies.
Blessed ones, you may not now know it, but I will tell you that this Community is considered by the hierarchy of Light to be the seed of the great golden age. And what you do and the decisions you make and what you are able to publish and bring to the nations will determine whether a golden age will be a few square miles in Montana or cover the planet earth and the solar system and the galaxies beyond. Such is the equation of the hour.
Let none remain who do not belong, in their own minds. But let all who are tempted away from the goal that is theirs to achieve right here consider [and reconsider] that they might stand and still stand and [in so doing] return to God and all lifewaves whom they have ever contacted that great glory and opportunity that is given unto them.
This is my appeal to you, beloved. This is my cause! I will continue and the ascended hosts will continue. But what we do, beloved, will not count for this octave. It is what you do here today and in your lifetime that will count. It will count for everything.
Therefore, I place my message to you this day upon the altar of the heart of the Lord of the World, Gautama Buddha. And I speak, then, of the tenor of his address and the fierceness of the Buddha that you have seen in him. Thus, I [for one] can do naught else but stand in his mighty aura and speak to you out of his heart and his all-great seriousness in this hour.
I say to you, beloved, the Messenger is a Messenger. And if you desire to receive that acceleration on the Path, even as Gautama Buddha gave it to you last evening, you must but so signify.
I recommend that you create a little sticker or a little button or [a symbolic] pin that you can wear that tells the Messenger: "I want to be pummeled." "I want to hear the Truth." "I want to accelerate." Or, "You may speak to me at any time to instruct me, to love me, to chasten me, to correct me. I am open. So receive me." [Thus each one goes on record,] and that way our Messenger will not burden any who do not desire to hear what is the word of God for them in the hour.
As we have said before, let the Messenger be a Messenger. And so she shall but only by your leave, for no Guru has power [over anyone] except the power given by those who would be disciples.
Was it not so with Ernon? Rejected by his people, he did withdraw. Thus it is the Law, beloved, that the people themselves must ask for and receive the assistance of the Guru, even the abilities of the Guru.
I assure you that I am always your humble servant and that all of the ascended hosts stand in the Great Hall at the Grand Teton Retreat [to renew their commitment to you]. And they pledge anew their lives and all of their Causal Bodies to the success of the Lightbearers of the earth. We believe fervently, beloved, that with all Lightbearers combining forces with the heavenly hosts, this earth can be turned around, and swiftly so, in the physical octave.
We urge you, therefore, not to underestimate your role in this process and not to think that if you vacate your mantle or your position, another will come to fill it. We cannot [roll out the dough and] make the proverbial gingerbread men and set them up and place them in your vacancy.
No, beloved, you must understand that where each one of you is born, a star is born that is unique. There is no one in cosmos who can accomplish your assignment [quite as you can]. Only you can do it. Others may come who are second-best or third or one-hundredth, but the uniqueness of your calling is yours.
Perhaps my reminding you of this fact will bring you some sense of a greater self-worth; for by the very uniqueness of your calling, you shall place the unique jewel in the mandala of the chelas of El Morya and of the Great White Brotherhood.
Now, beloved, I trust you shall plan your year and order your days and bring forth victories precipitated in form that I might show these to the Lords of Karma. For whatever else you may do, it is the physical accomplishment that counts. For those in physical embodiment can see only physical things. It is as simple as that.
My beloved ones, I have addressed you recently and I desire that those of you who have not heard my [December 13] dictation shall hear it. For it is also important as you go forward in the new year that you assimilate the bread of Life that I did break on that occasion.4
I come, then, this day with all good wishes of the Darjeeling Council. I come also with mentors from our retreat who are Ascended Masters (and some who are almost ascended). They have come on a fact-finding mission, and so they enter the departments of the Church and the branches of the Church throughout the world to assist and advise you.
I recommend, then, that you use my decrees recorded for you [on tape]5 and that you make a special effort, while the days of Capricorn are here and until their passing, to make that attunement with the Darjeeling Council to seek definition and the divine will for your lifestream, to seek direction, to act upon it in a most practical and thrifty manner and to bring to pass that which shall be a thing of beauty and a joy forever.
I ask you - whatever may be your business or endeavor or your involvement in this Community - to address letters to me in Darjeeling concerning your thoughts of what ought to be accomplished [through the Summit Lighthouse activity] and how. [You may send copies of your letters to the Board of Directors of Church Universal and Triumphant, chaired by your Messenger.]
I ask you to also give calls to me in thirty-three-day cycles for action upon the contents of your letters. For as you know, Saint Germain is also a member of the Darjeeling Council, yet he is not the only one who has a grant, beloved.6
But I shall not tell you who else among us of the Ascended Masters have received grants. But you shall know this in the quietness of your own heart as you, drawing closer to God and your Presence and therefore being more in sync with that Presence, will come upon the awareness that you have received blessing and grace and more wind in your sails to achieve this year what you have not been able to achieve in past years.
I ask you to take up now and recite with me "The Covenant of the Magi."7
The Covenant of the Magi by El Morya
Father, into thy hands I commend my being. Take me and use me - my efforts, my thoughts, my resources, all that I AM - in thy service to the world of men and to thy noble cosmic purposes, yet unknown to my mind.
Teach me to be kind in the way of the Law that awakens men and guides them to the shores of Reality, to the confluence of the River of Life, to the Edenic source, that I may understand that the leaves of the Tree of Life, given to me each day, are for the healing of the nations; that as I garner them into the treasury of being and offer the fruit of my loving adoration to thee and to thy purposes supreme, I shall indeed hold covenant with thee as my guide, my guardian, my friend.
For thou art the directing connector who shall establish my lifestream with those heavenly contacts, limited only by the flow of the hours, who will assist me to perform in the world of men the most meaningful aspect of my individual life plan as conceived by thee and executed in thy name by the Karmic Board of spiritual overseers who, under thy holy direction, do administer thy laws.
So be it, O eternal Father, and may the covenant of thy beloved Son, the living Christ, the Only Begotten of the Light, teach me to be aware that he liveth today within the tri-unity of my being as the Great Mediator between my individualized Divine Presence and my human self; that he raiseth me into Christ consciousness and thy divine realization in order that as the eternal Son becomes one with the Father, so I may ultimately become one with thee in that dynamic moment when out of union is born my perfect freedom to move, to think, to create, to design, to fulfill, to inhabit, to inherit, to dwell and to be wholly within the fullness of thy Light.
Father, into thy hands I commend my being.
As I, Morya, have written this unto my Father, so I ask you to think of me as your father and to commend your path and your chelaship into my keeping that I might guide you on the Homeward way and spare your feet descending into the pitfalls.
Yes, beloved, the covenant of the Magi is an ancient commitment of those wise men, even the Sons of the Solitude, who have descended down the centuries bearing the Christ Child in their hearts. For unto us the Manchild is given. And we are the bearers of that Child and the sponsors when children are born out of that crystal fire mist that is the great heart pattern of the Divine Manchild, the living Christ.
Yes, we walk the earth and we are more than three in number.8 We are here and there in the etheric octave and in physical embodiment. We yet train our own. And I would train my own here at Maitreya's Mystery School. I am grateful to find you intact and not bruised or beaten by anything whatsoever [that has been sent against you]. I am especially chagrined for the loss and the great damage to the Tibetan strongholds.
Yes, beloved, there are yet hordes in the earth and they are not isolated in the Far East, [nor are they exclusively among the] Mongols. They are in this nation. They are those who remain stripped of their life-force and of their integration in God. They are the ignorant ones who ignore [the seed of Light that is in them]. They are there, beloved, and they are the ones who trample upon civilization, who are out of the astral plane and shall return to it.
See to it, then, beloved, that they do not pull the rug out from under this civilization! Mark the spoilers and call to God to deal with them. Also see to it that in the keeping of the flame of our retreat, you are not outsmarted in your own conceit but rather choose to walk the way of true and pure humility that is the highest greatness on earth.
I commend you to the keeping of the flame of the Chohans and to the expansion of opportunity here. I commend you to the fight to the finish.
It is when the Matter cosmos is itself exorcised and merges with the Spirit cosmos and the twain are one. Until then, beloved, let us take our rest, perhaps beside the Mol Heron Creek or in Maitreya's mountain. Let us take our rest in stages and return to the line that is drawn, for it is indeed drawn and you have drawn it deep.
Maintain your line and do not give up the Pure Land,9 for this Pure Land is Hierarchy's dispensation and offering. Do not expect another and another, for it is not the time or the season. This, then, is it, beloved.
I commend you to your victory and to the glory of God within. I AM Morya! Let the troops march and let the bodhisattvas appear! [41-second standing ovation]

This dictation by El Morya was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Friday, January 1, 1993, during the five-day conference The Dawning of Your God Reality, held at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. Before the dictation, the Messenger delivered the first hour and a half of her lecture "Ignorance of the Law Is No Excuse." Following her delivery, at El Morya's request, the congregation viewed the film George Washington - The Man Who Wouldn't Be King. This 60-minute PBS documentary presents an insightful look at the life and character of our first president. (Prod. David Sutherland, PBS Video, the History Consortium: WGBH-TV, Boston; WNET-TV, New York; and KCET-TV, Los Angeles, 1992.) The Messenger explained that El Morya would have us look to George Washington as the example and the role model to emulate in 1993. You can order your own copy of the film through your local video store or from PBS Video, 1320 Braddock Place, Alexandria, VA 22314. [N.B. In this Pearl, bracketed material denotes words unspoken yet implicit in the dictation, added by the Messenger under El Morya's direction for clarity in the written word.] Throughout these notes PoW is the abbreviation for Pearls of Wisdom.
Violent Death Takes a Holiday in New York City
Compliments of El Morya and His Chelas
It was "unprecedented," reported New York Newsday in its story "Violent Death Takes a Holiday," which appeared in the Saturday, February 6 edition. Between 7:00 a.m. Thursday, February 4, and 7:00 a.m. Friday, February 5, 1993, no major crimes were reported to the New York City police. The city had a 24-hour vacation from murder, violence and chaos.
Newsday staff writer Wendell Jamieson wrote:
Mayhem took a 24-hour vacation this week.
In an unprecedented lull in murder, violence and chaos, no major crimes were reported to police between 7 a.m. Thursday and 7 a.m. yesterday.
In a city with five or six homicides daily, the fact that all 7.3 million New Yorkers apparently survived a day and night unscathed raised the eyebrows of at least one veteran cop.
"For a 24-hour period, that's highly unusual," said Det. Joseph McConville, a spokesman who tallies the city's toll of death and destruction for the media. "I don't know why everybody was good. I can't remember seeing this in 25 years."
Every morning, the operations unit of the city Police Department publishes a principal case sheet listing all the major crimes of the past 24 hours. The listing - which often runs two pages - provides the basic details of homicides, serious shootings, life-threatening stabbings, bank robberies, fatal fires, suspensions of Police Department employees and other wrongdoing.
Yesterday's sheet, number 35 for 1993, said only: "NO INCIDENTS TO REPORT."
That left police representatives in the department's public information office with little to do. The exact time the quiet spell was broken will be known when the next principal case sheet is released today.
McConville had only one possible reason for the day-long lack of crime, theorizing: "Maybe everybody found religion."
For the Keeper of the Flame who first heard these crime statistics: Saturday night on the channel 11 news, the reason was no mystery. She knew who had been New York's most illustrious visitor on February 4 - our beloved El Morya, who had kept his promise to follow on the heels of Omri-Tas.
In his December 13, 1992 dictation (Pearls of Wisdom, vol. 35, no. 68), El Morya had announced to the Keepers of the Flame:
I wish to ... speak to you, then, of my desire to save the cities. You heard my dictation from New York [October 4, 1992] in which I stated that I would place my Electronic Presence there, everywhere in that entire city, for thirty-three days that the Keepers of the Flame in the metropolitan area might give their perpetual calls to me and we might see if I might be able to remain in that city.
Well, beloved ones, these Keepers of the Flame in the greater metropolitan area did come together and they performed a mighty service. And during this period, they did also establish their own focus for their Teaching Center that the Messenger might enter the city again. Yes, they performed an excellent decree service, but their numbers are not enough. They are not enough to in fact hold me there for every day of the year.
Thus, I made my commitment to them, and I make it this day, that I will be in New York the fourth of every month, following on the heels of beloved Omri-Tas. Thus, we will see what I can work for that city with the Keepers of the Flame in the area. [I am counting on them, one and all, to keep a glorious vigil on each fourth. Won't you join them and me?]
I also made known to you at that time, beloved ones, that I would [place my Presence in any city] if a group of chelas would dedicate themselves to me and give my [blue-ray] decrees [as recorded] on the four "El Morya tapes" and sing my songs as a rosary to me. ...
Therefore remember, wherever you are, wherever is your town or hamlet, wherever is your group of Keepers of the Flame, if you will petition me, if you will ask me to place my Electronic Presence with you, I will be there and I will remain and I will stay according to your numbers and according to the Light you invoke. ...
I can place my Electronic Presence in every town. And when I do so, I place that Electronic Presence over and over and over again so that you may see literally ten thousand or ten million Moryas standing in the territory, the city limits, and holding the flame [of the will of God for that town and the Lightbearers in it].
In answer to this tremendous dispensation, we the students of El Morya in the New York City Community Teaching Center rallied to celebrate the Master's coming. Besides dedicating the third of each month to Omri-Tas' Violet Flame Day, we now also dedicate the fourth of each month to a vigil of prayers, decrees, songs and rosaries to our beloved El Morya.
The alchemy for the February 4 miracle really began at 12:00 a.m. Wednesday, February 3, when Keepers of the Flame began arriving in shifts to keep the Omri-Tas vigil at our new center. The violet flame decrees and songs continued unceasing throughout the next 24 hours.
At 12:00 a.m. on the fourth, the El Morya vigil began. The several Keepers who were present decreed and sang with the four El Morya tapes and the Hail to the Chief! song cassette. They offered specific invocations for the clearing of the city and also gave Archangel Michael's Rosary. By 6:00 a.m. reinforcements arrived. Some who could not come to the center decreed in their homes.
During the day, local Keepers continued to arrive and join in the devotions to the will of God. Considerable numbers came in the evening for a special service from 7:00 p.m. to midnight - this in spite of the fact that many had to travel long distances on subways notorious for their danger. This finale of fiery decrees was our closing statement to El Morya of our trust in his power to save the city and rescue the Lightbearers.
We the Keepers of the Flame of New York are so very grateful in our hearts for the tangible expression of his presence: February 4, 1993, is a day we will always remember. Not only did we feel El Morya's presence in the city, but many of us felt his direct intercession in our personal lives.
With beloved El Morya, we wish to encourage Keepers throughout the world to band together for the saving of the cities. As our beloved Master said in his December 13 dictation:
[If there are not enough numbers in your town to keep me there full-time,] I may be able to come to you one day a month. I will report back to you if you will write to the Messenger and keep her posted as to what [decrees] you are doing, what is happening in your city [with outreach] and who is decreeing.
Take me up on this, beloved ones. For I know that the cities must be saved if the nations are to be saved, for what are the nations without cities?
Now that we have a Teaching Center, we are finally able to begin a mighty outreach program. We await with great anticipation Mother's upcoming visit on March 13 and 14 for 24 Hours with Elizabeth Clare Prophet in New York City.
We invite Keepers of the Flame to join us on Saturday, March 13, for the official dedication of our center at 1133 Broadway, Suite 204. At 9:00 a.m. we will begin the preparation of the sanctuary in the ritual of the violet flame. The dedication service conducted by the Messenger will begin at noon, followed by the dictations of the Goddess of Liberty and the Ascended Master El Morya. At 7:00 p.m. we will have our Saint Germain Service, welcoming Saint Germain for his dictation "I Release the Flame of Freedom for the Resurgence of New York."
A special event, open to the public, will be held the following day, Sunday, March 14, in the Astor Ballroom at the Marriott Marquis, 1535 Broadway. At 1:00 p.m. the Messenger will conduct a workshop on "How to Plug into God Every Day." After the workshop, she will deliver a dictation from the Ascended Master Moses: "Tell Them: 'I AM Hath Sent Me unto You'."
At 7:00 p.m. the Messenger will give teaching on "Meeting Daily Challenges through the Path of Divine Love as Taught by the Eastern Adepts" and then deliver a dictation by Lord Krishna: "On the Incarnation of God."
We look forward to welcoming you!
Omri-Tas' Day: A 48-Hour Opportunity
On October 14, 1991, at the Class of the Golden Cycle in New Orleans, Omri-Tas, Ruler of the Violet Planet, announced a thirty-three-day dispensation in which he would remain on earth to give us "a boost" and multiply our decrees to the violet flame. Omri-Tas told us:
It is a cycle, beloved, when you can so liberate your souls by the multiplication of my presence and my further multiplying of the violet flame that I daresay you should not miss a moment to recite a mantra even if it is between thoughts or steps or [devotional] songs you sing. ...
Yes, beloved, see that you do not make karma with me by failing to take advantage of my proffered gift to you. For I desire to have complete, independent freedom to be able to give to planet earth in dire moments those dispensations and transfusions of violet flame [that are so desperately needed] ....
One hundred and forty-four thousand priests of the sacred fire from the Violet Planet have accompanied me for this thirty-three-day sojourn. May you know that we intend to make our mark and to make a difference in the quality of life on earth. ...
This is an experiment. If you cooperate and take full advantage of it, we shall be able to immediately build upon it and increase and multiply again in the next thirty-three-day cycle.
On the final day of the dispensation, November 16, 1991, at the Messenger's request, the chelas wrote letters to Omri-Tas imploring him to remain on planet earth and offering him pledges of daily violet flame decrees. In response, Omri-Tas said that he was profoundly moved by our offering but that he could not remain on earth full-time because there were many other planets at a similar crossroads to that of earth who were in great need of his presence. However, he was so touched by our pledges that he promised to return to earth once a month on the third day of the month to render service by his Great Causal Body.
The Messenger declared the third of each month to be Omri-Tas' Violet Flame Day. She said: "That is the day when walls of violet flame can come down and we can be directly in the Electronic Presence of Omri-Tas. All of our burdens, our problems can be swept into the flame."
Saint Germain has told us that Omri-Tas carries such an intensity of violet flame and of the Seventh Ray in his aura that it extends far beyond the actual size of the earth. Thus, in the monthly vigil that Omri-Tas keeps with the earth, his Causal Body occupies the entire planet. Calculating the 24 time zones on the planet, we see that the third of the month spans 48 hours. In other words, for a period of 48 hours, it is the third of the month in at least one time zone somewhere on the planet. Omri-Tas is thus present with us everywhere on earth each month for 48 hours! This affords us the opportunity to increase our Omri-Tas' Violet Flame Day vigil from 24 to 48 hours.
To determine when the 48-hour Omri-Tas vigil begins and ends in your time zone, see the enclosed map and chart. We have numbered the zones from I to 24, moving in a westward direction from the International Date Line. The standard time in each successive zone is one hour earlier than in the zone just east of it. Omri-Tas arrives on the earth each month when the clock strikes 12:00 a.m. (standard time) on the third on the west side of the International Date Line. This corresponds to 12:00 a.m. on the third in zone I (New Zealand), 11:00 p.m. on the second in zone 2 (Wake Island), 10:00 p.m. on the second in zone 3 (eastern Australia), and so on through the rest of the zones.
Omri-Tas leaves earth 48 hours later, when the clock strikes midnight on the third on the east side of the Date Line. This corresponds to 1:00 a.m. on the fourth in zone 24 (Samoa), 2:00 a.m. on the fourth in zone 23 (Hawaii), and so on.
We have calculated the times for the Omri-Tas vigil in each time zone and listed them on the enclosed chart. Find the place where you live on the map and the corresponding zone number indicated at the bottom of the map. Then check the chart to see what beginning and ending times are listed for your zone. From the chart, you can see that at the Royal Teton Ranch (zone 20) the vigil begins at 5:00 a.m. on the second of the month and concludes at 5:00 a.m. on the fourth.
The times listed for each zone reflect standard time. If you are on daylight saving time for a portion of the year, during that time your vigil will begin and end one hour later by the clock. In other words, add one hour to the beginning and ending times. (Omri-Tas times his coming by the cycles of the sun, which do not change even though we set our clocks forward and back.)
Some places, such as India and central Australia, are in "irregular" time zones that are a half-hour off from other zones. On the map these are shown in gray and the zones are individually numbered. For example, India is in zone 71/2, which means the beginning and ending times for the vigil would be on the half-hour between the times for zones 7 and 8 - i.e., 5:30 p.m. on the second to 5:30 p.m. on the fourth.
On December 31, 1992, Gautama Buddha urged us in his New Year's Eve Address to make the most of our opportunity to invoke the violet flame in the aura of Omri-Tas. He announced that henceforth on the twenty-third of each month there would descend upon every creature on earth "a fine powder, ... a dust of karma." Gautama said that much of this could be transmuted by the violet flame and that "each and every third of the month is the opportunity for transmutation of the prior cycle of the descent of the dust [of karma] and for preparation for that which will come on the next twenty-third."
The need for violet flame on earth is so great that the Messenger is suggesting that Keepers of the Flame hold a second 48-hour Omri-Tas vigil on the twenty-third, which is a key date because of the Dark Cycle. She would like to see if we can compel Omri-Tas to come to earth twice a month.
Because there is such a great blessing to be received from Omri-Tas' presence with us, the Messenger recommends that, if necessary, you trade the time from your regular weekly services in order to devote the maximum time to the Omri-Tas vigils. If your group is not able to hold a second vigil on the twenty-third, she would like you to at least have an evening service, including two hours of violet flame, to get a head start on transmuting this karmic dust and to "help the planet deal with the descending Dark Cycle as it locks into a new level the twenty-third of each month."10
In a dictation at the conclusion of the October 10, 1992 service at Voyages of Soul Discovery in Atlanta, Omri-Tas said:
These days ahead are those of great cost [to the people] and great price [to the nations]. If there be a certain action of the violet flame carried out in daily decrees by students new and old, you can reach a crescendo - even a critical mass, as it were, of violet flame - whereby I may come, then, in answer to your call not merely on the third day of the month but on other days as well.
It will be a question of "matching." Whatever you put forth I will match again and that ten times, and I will match it also by the presence of great legions from the Violet Planet.
All those who are the servants of the Seventh Ray - the priesthood of Melchizedek and of the Violet Planet, Zadkiel and Amethyst, Elohim, Saint Germain and Portia, all those who invoke the violet flame in all of cosmos who are serving on any of the rays, including yourselves - all of these, beloved, can provide, then, an action of multiplication.
When the events of karma are about to descend and enter the physical plane, it is too late to turn them back. This is the [cosmic moment], then, of opportunity for transmutation before these cycles are due. And due they are in the coming years of this decade, make no mistake about it.
You have been successful in pushing back their timetable, but it requires more than that. It requires their obliteration, as it were, by the violet fire. This service to the violet flame will only accrue good to your Causal Body, will only be the balancing of karma for you and your accelerated freedom that you might live to serve unencumbered.
Each time we have a violet flame vigil we have the opportunity to access and maximize the tremendous violet flame dispensations that have been released over the years. We must remember Saint Germain's words of May 1, 1991: "It is imperative, as nothing else you have ever heard, that you devote yourselves even for an hour or several hours a day to the action of the violet flame. I must have cups of light in concentration to bring to the Lords of Karma that I might have renewed and continuing dispensations for you."
Below is a synopsis of major violet flame dispensations that you will want to invoke each time you hold a violet flame vigil. Remember that each decree you give is also multiplied by the "power of the ten thousand-times-ten thousand," according to the dispensation announced to us by Lord Maitreya on July 1, 1961.11
Multiplication of 15 Minutes of Violet Flame
Omri-Tas, July 7, 1984, the Heart of the Inner Retreat
"If in all reverence, with inner attunement, a sense of yourself in your Christ Self as priest or priestess of the sacred fire, if with all your heart and deep within your heart you will take, then, fifteen minutes each day to give profound and loving invocations to the violet flame in my name (and please remember to use my name, for I am the one from whose Causal Body this dispensation comes), then we will take that offering, measure for measure as it is devoted, as it is profound and sincere, the very weight of its power and light. Therefore, by the quality of it, quality for quality, it shall be multiplied in your life ten times!"
Violet Flame Reservoir over Europe
Omri-Tas, February 26, 1988, Lisbon, Portugal
"I, Omri-Tas, ... have come in this hour to deliver the LORD's dispensation of violet flame in the hour of the anniversary [of the ascension] of your beloved Messenger Mark Prophet.
"Thus, in this hour of his ascension, beloved, know well that by the mantle of his Causal Body which you may claim, there is now a multiplication of our release of violet flame. And this violet flame is positioned as a reservoir of light over central Europe. It is a very large reservoir of light as a sea in itself; and this [light], beloved, is there for you to invoke as a direct transfusion to all Lightbearers of Europe, Eastern Europe and the entire Soviet bloc. ...
"When you invoke the violet flame, it will draw forth the light of this reservoir and also maximize it, fortify it, multiply it by your own love and devotion; and therefore that light shall flow to every Lightbearer in these lands. And as it does flow to them it shall quicken them, it shall cut them free, it shall therefore transmute their spiritual and physical blindness as to those events coming. ...
"This reservoir is a certain dispensation. If those Keepers of the Flame in embodiment do not make the violet flame call daily, then this reservoir will come to be used up in its entirety, apportioned then among all Lightbearers. But if the call continues to be given, the reservoir shall be like the unfed flame. It shall not fail. It shall remain full and all that goes out of it shall be returned unto it multiplied by your call."
The Outline of a Maltese Cross
Saint Germain, May 1, 1991, Portland, Oregon
"Wherever two or three gather in my name in any city or home upon the planet, there shall be formed - and it is now being formed by my angels of Light - the outline of a Maltese cross. It is an outline only, beloved. It is an outline that can be occupied by ... priests of the Order of Melchizedek and violet flame angels of the Order of Zadkiel.
"It is an outline whereby, if you will call daily to the violet flame - not missing a day, beloved - if you will give your invocations, if you will use the tapes provided by the Messenger, therefore uniting your voices with many who have gathered in the Inner Retreat, therefore drawing that Inner Retreat to your place - you will know that one by one priests of the sacred fire of the Seventh Ray will come forth to fill in the outline of the Maltese cross. And if there be no violet flame invocations, then there shall be a disintegration of the outline [and its vacating by these beings of the Seventh Ray] ....
"Let us see, then, what mark those who have been with me for thousands of years shall leave upon the decade. May it be a violet flame cross, a Maltese cross, over your home and city. And may it be filled in anew each day with violet flame as angels and priests and priestesses take up the holding of that focus."
Violet Flame Sea in the Heart of the Earth
Omri-Tas, May 1, 1991, Portland, Oregon
"I deposit in the heart of the earth a dispensation immense of concentrated violet flame. It is an intercession of the quality of mercy. It is an intercession afforded to all those who serve the Light. And through your Holy Christ Self it shall be meted out as an unguent, as an elixir. May you drink of it in your hours of need and [in your hours of] strength and keep it replenished by new calls to the violet flame. It is a giant violet flame reservoir, as a sea of light pulsating."
Additional Violet Flame Dispensations
For further dispensations and teachings on the violet flame, see 1991 Pearls of Wisdom, pp. 746-50, and "The Highest Gift of God to the Universe," in The Science of the Spoken Word by Mark L. Prophet and Elizabeth Clare Prophet, pp. 150-94.
El Morya Vigil: A 24-Hour Thrust for a Purpose
In addition to our keeping the Omri-Tas vigil, El Morya has asked us to join the chelas of New York in keeping "a glorious vigil" with him on each fourth of the month. This vigil would not extend beyond 24 hours because El Morya has said only that he would place himself in any city where he is called and "where there is a quorum of hearts." He has not said he would occupy the entire planet. Therefore in each time zone, the El Morya vigil would begin at 12:00 a.m. on the fourth and continue until midnight. (Keep in mind that having a vigil does not necessarily guarantee the Master's Presence in your city. This is a dispensation that must be earned through exemplary effort.)
At the ranch, where the Omri-Tas vigil ends at 5:00 a.m. on the fourth, there will be a five-hour overlap with the El Morya vigil. Each time zone will have a different amount of overlap time. The Messenger suggests that during the overlap you "braid" violet flame and blue flame decrees. One effective action is to alternate decree 10.05, "O Hercules, Thou Elohim," with decree 70.18, Arcturus, Blessed Being Bright," giving each of these decrees in sets of 9, 12 or 18. Or you might prefer to divide into two groups, with one group giving violet flame decrees while the other concentrates on blue flame decrees.
The Messenger is encouraging all Keepers everywhere to participate in the El Morya vigil on the fourth of each month. By consecrating all our energies to the will of God on the same day, we will be able to offer El Morya a greater chalice of Light. Again, if necessary, you may trade time from other service days in order to keep this vigil.
The Messenger suggests that you evaluate how much time you are already committing to the Omri-Tas vigil on the third and how much you could realistically commit to on the fourth. She is asking that you convey this information to the leader of the Study Group or Teaching Center nearest you in your time zone. Also indicate if you have a preference for a day other than the fourth and specify the amount of time you are willing to pledge in decrees and devotions. You should include in your vigil the decrees and songs from the four El Morya tapes - El Morya, Lord of the First Ray: Dynamic Decrees with Prayers and Ballads for Chelas of the Will of God 1-4 - and the Hail to the Chief! song cassette. You may also give the Archangel Michael Rosary, the Surrender Rosary, and Ashram Ritual 3: Sacred Ritual for Attunement with God's Holy Will.
Study Group and Teaching Center leaders should collect the commitments from all chelas in their area and then coordinate with other group leaders in their time zone. Calculate your offering as one complete time zone from the North to the South Pole. Once you tally the total hours, send your zone's commitment to the Office of Ministry at ranch headquarters.
Be sure to also include a list of the hours of commitment per city. The total commitment may not be enough to allow El Morya to cover your entire time zone, but he may be able to sponsor several cities within it. El Morya will observe how well you keep your commitment, and at a certain point he may commit to be in your city on the fourth or whatever day you hold your vigil. Remember that his commitment is sustained by the chelas' commitment. If there is a lessening of fervor, El Morya will have less to work with to sustain his Presence in the city and you may eventually lose the dispensation. At the conclusion of each vigil, let each city send the tally of each person's time given to the Office of Ministry.
If all the chelas in the same time zone will hold their vigil on the same day, the decree reinforcement will be extraordinary. This is especially true on the East and West Coasts, where there are greater concentrations of Keepers of the Flame. Whoever decrees in the same time zone as New York (zone 18 on the map) will have the multiplication factor of the Diamond Heart of El Morya because it is already established that El Morya is in New York City on the fourth. Since there really is no time or space, all chelas participating in the vigil at the same time are one in a mighty prayer force.
The Messenger would like to see the chelas in the New York time zone rally to demonstrate the "I AM the Guard" consciousness for the entire East Coast and the rest of their time zone, which stretches up into Canada and down into Panama, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. The West Coast chelas (zone 21) should likewise band together to establish a guardian action on the western seaboard.
The Messenger also recommends that all chelas in the same time zone as the Royal Teton Ranch (zone 20) hold their vigil on the same day in order to maximize the efforts. If all Keepers of the Flame worldwide will commit to the fourth, think of what we can accomplish! The possibilities are limitless.
Each of the 24 time zones would ultimately come to represent a wall of blue flame which can effectively block the momentum of evil as it moves around the planet. As evil comes to a time zone where there is an established dedication, it will hit a wall of fire and be arrested in its course. If it runs into wall after wall after wall, the acceleration of darkness in the earth will lose its momentum. This will in turn buy time for the Lightbearers.
The Messenger asks: "Do you think El Morya would go forth now with a thrust for a purpose to save the cities of the earth if it were not in he realm of the possible?" At a recent service, she spoke of El Morya's February 4 miracle in New York City:
I would like to testify before you how thrilled and profoundly moved I am. Just stop and contemplate how powerful a Master has to be to control every type of crime for 24 hours. What this means is crime cannot be committed in the presence of El Morya. There is no unascended master, with the possible exception of Babaji, who could equal that - who has the power to control crime amongst 7.3 million people and to do so with the small amount of chelas there are in New York. I think El Morya was sending us a strong message: "See what a small group of chelas could do. Pick a day and give me that day and if your momentum is great enough I will be there. I want to help you - just give me the energy I need."
I think we take El Morya for granted. We don't think of him as the tremendous being and Master that he actually is. El Morya has the attainment of a Buddha. I believe that he can solve every problem we are dealing with - personal, organizational, national. I believe that whatever we're handling in our psychology, whatever we're wrestling with at any level of our beings, El Morya can heal us. Morya can do anything. If Morya can hold in abeyance all of Death and Hell for 24 hours in New York City, is there anything he cannot do?
Well, of course there isn't anything he can't do. But as the Master told us in his October 4, 1992 dictation, "I am not unlimited, but I am limited in my actions and my offerings to you by your responses." People must learn the lesson of what it takes. They have to have a sense of co-measurement - they have to know that they must give a certain amount of the fire of self in order to have the necessary ingredient for that tremendous relationship that El Morya is offering to each and every one of us.
The Messenger has asked us to make our peace with God, with El Morya and with the will of God for our lives. She has explained that the will of God is the true will from the heart of our own Holy Christ Self. It is what we are and what we have been from the Beginning - our divine identity. We should not think that the will of God is at cross-purposes with our free will. If we surrender our human will and embrace God's will, as we are able to digest it and affirm it and understand it, we will be much ahead of the game.
It is the Messenger's desire that we participate in the vigil to beloved El Morya by our own free will, for El Morya is the champion of our free will. The Messenger says: "May your hearts so burn with such great love of his gift of the will of God that you will make your statement."
With a handful of dedicated chelas, El Morya worked a miracle in New York. Let's see what he can do when we work with him city by city on a planetary scale.
In closing, let us reflect on El Morya's words of April 8, 1990:
Let there then be no more separation between us, beloved, even though it be paper-thin or thinner. Where there is a cleavage in the rock so the fallen ones drive through, thereby toconvince the weak and the unbonded that we are not one; and therefore all manner of calamity may come upon you. And you look and you look and you say, "Where is Morya? Where is Morya?"
Well, beloved, the hour has come when I would raise you up if you would pull me down. For we must be in the heart of the Lord Christ and the Blessed Mother. We must be that diamond together. ...
Know this, beloved, that you must greet adversity and the adversary, welcoming the initiation and intensifying into it a release from your heart of sacred fire whereby you say:
Where I stand, there is Morya!
You shall not tread on holy ground!
You shall not enter this hallowed place!
You shall not come between me and my God!
My God is the divine wholeness of the Living One.
I and my Father Morya are one!
... Remember that I AM here. I do not leave you. Do not leave me in vibration.
