Close Communion
We Are Banking on the Victory!
Thanksgiving Day Address 1994

     Tenderly, tenderly, I AM thy Lord. Receive me, my beloved, for our God has appointed me to be thy Lord.

     Thus, from the beginning unto the ending of this calling, I am at thy side - my heart, sacred in God, one with thy heart; my soul, thy soul, as we are one in the offering of our Body and our Blood for the healing of the poor and the downtrodden.

     I AM thy Lord. Receive me this day and forever. And call to me, if need be, that you and I together might break down the barriers that separate us one from the other.

     I come for close communion this day, and in this hour I am one with your Holy Christ Self. Therefore, lift up your hearts! Lift up your voices! Lift up your praise, beloved! For the hour of your victory draweth nigh, and sooner than you think.

     O my beloved, receive me now tenderly. (Please be seated.)

     I come that the rough places might be made plain,1 the rough places about each one. Often we are not aware of the rough places, for we are rough-hewn and "that is just the way we are," or so we say.

     I come, then, for the exquisite outpicturing of your immortal design. I come to affirm it, not to deny it, as others of this world may do. I come to affirm that blueprint that is whole and that is holy.

     Forgive and Forgive Again

     Oh, let there be the binding of the sense of sin and of the condemnation upon those who stray from the law. Have I not forgiven thee - forgiven thee and forgiven thee again and again? And have I not admonished you to forgive seventy times seven?2

     I say, seven hundred, seven thousand times seven give the cup of mercy, give the cup of forgiveness, and discover an astounding transmutation of your own karma and of the wrongs that you have carried with you for so long because you have condemned yourself, criticized yourself and therefore felt that you could not rise again. Thus, as you forgive others their trespasses, you yourself are forgiven.

     Who is it that does point the finger?

     Let him who is without sin first cast the stone.

     Thus I spoke to the accusers of Magdalene.3 And this day in the arms of God, she is ascended. She is victorious.4 And yet, beloved, is it not so that the condemnation of the world is still upon woman - woman who is used and abused?

     And in the very heart of my knights of the flame present here, my sons, is there not also the chalice of the Divine Mother? And are you not also defenders of the Divine Mother?

     Assist, then, the World Mother. Assist the coming of the day when there shall be such a renewed respect for and such exaltation of the flame of the Divine Mother in man, in woman that there will not be a put-down of either.

     Be Rid of Prejudice and Embrace Kindness

     Some have the propensity in their makeup to put down the father, the father image or the father figure, even in the person of the Guru. Others, because of their psychology and outlook, continually put down woman. Let us address these tendencies and correct them.

     For, beloved, now I draw the line in the sand and the line that I draw is a figure eight. And this figure eight represents the movement of the T'ai Chi from the masculine to the feminine, from the feminine to the masculine and back again, the yin and the yang ever moving over this figure eight that embraces Spirit and Matter, male and female, whom God has created.

     Blessed hearts, these are subtleties. We speak of prejudice against this Church or against this or that race, but do we know (and I speak for you as I am one of you) when we are unlawfully prejudiced against others? Do we automatically define this group and that group, these others and those others?

     To be prejudiced in general against a group, a certain level of society, a certain type of individual or those of a certain nation means that each time you meet someone of that collective group you already have the door of your mind closed and you do not open the door.

     I say, if you would be rid of prejudice practiced against this Church and your path, you must be rid of prejudice within yourselves - you must be rid of the tendency of the carnal mind to be prejudiced in favor of itself. You must dig deep and discover whether when seeing individuals of this or that class you feel prejudiced against them because they are too rich or too poor, educated or uneducated, or because they are this or they are that.

     Blessed ones, the human mind works in an insidious way. It is so insidious that you do not even know it is insidious. Pause for a moment and review the Law: You can be rid of the negatives that are practiced against you only by going deep within and determining that you will have the love that I have for all souls, which transcends the earthly garment - whether black or white or yellow or red - the background, the accent, the genes or the IQ of this or that one.

     Search your souls. If you do not have a transcendent love for all people that comes from seeking and finding me in the threefold flame of their hearts, then you may yet retain insidious prejudices because you behold the outer man and not the inner man of the heart.

     You can be certain that you are rid of your prejudices only if you systematically go through your vocabulary and your attitudes, only if you sift your thoughts, including your superiority and inferiority complexes. Yes, where do you position yourself? And do you judge others from that position? Do you define your identity in society by your membership in this exclusive group or that exclusive group?

     There is pride, even spiritual pride, in some who have the Teachings of the Ascended Masters and therefore feel that they are better than others. This is most unfortunate, for hearts of gold are everywhere in the earth and they are where you would least expect to find them.

     You who have the gift of the discernment of spirits5 always know when you have found the rare Lightbearer. You know by the light of the eye, by the quality of the voice, by the givingness of the heart and by the waters of Life flowing freely from the chakras.

     This is not to say that you look down upon those who do not have the light of the eye or of the aura. But it is to say that at the very moment when by sheer mindless, unthinking habit you would be prejudiced against those whom you deem to be of lesser attainment on the Path, you turn to the beautiful face of my Father Maitreya and you remember his eternal kindness and his eternal compassion. And your heart then overflows with love for a soul, any soul, for here is God encased in mortal form.

     I ask you this day to take a scorepad and to recall the kindnesses and the unkindnesses you have extended toward others. Note the incidents and put two check marks for each kindness and one check mark for each unkindness. In this way you can periodically review the quality of your interchanges with others. This is important.

     And as you approach the conclusion of the year that brings us to the midpoint of the decade, will you not look back and, ere the clock strike twelve on New Year's Eve, give your violet flame decrees? Direct them into every situation where you know that your mind has been colored by what you have or have not been taught, by the views of your parents, your teachers, the clergy, and children in the neighborhood where you grew up.

     The fact remains that I am the Lord and the Saviour of every lifestream upon earth, even those whom you would consider to be of the seed of the Wicked One or of the fallen angels or mechanization man, et cetera. Beloved hearts, there is no prejudice when you come before the Lords of Karma. The seven members of the Karmic Board, with Vairochana the newly appointed eighth member,6 do not regard you with jaded eye as they administer Divine Justice.

     Understand, then, that inasmuch as God has given life to a soul, that soul shall have salvation through me, shall have my support until the LORD God himself declares that the hour of the final judgment of that one is come. It is only then that I let go of my service to set that lifestream free.

     Give a Cup of Cold Water in My Name

     Seek the Mantle and the Empowerment of the Good Shepherd

     Now, beloved hearts, we understand that time flies and that this is an hour to go after those souls most likely to receive the Teachings of the Ascended Masters, most likely to become vessels, to become teachers and ministers, to become disciples and pillars of the Church.

     It is well to do this, beloved. It is well to give the cup of cold water in my name,7 that cup being the cup of the Teachings. For each time a soul of Light is lifted up and given renewed opportunity for salvation, that one is liberated to teach thousands, hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions.

     So then, as you study to show yourselves approved unto God as teachers and you multiply the number of those who can truly bear the mantle of the Good Shepherd, you will find that many who go forth from this altar to the four corners of the earth will surely have my blessing and my empowerment. And if you as good shepherds will daily seek the anointing of the Holy Spirit to be upon you - yes, the Spirit of the living God - you shall know an empowerment for which you have been waiting and which we have been waiting to bestow upon you.

     Therefore, is it not wise to consider, in this atmosphere of hearts filled with gratitude for the blessings of liberty this Thanksgiving Day, whether or not from time to time you misuse power? For if you are grateful for power, you will not misuse it.

     Power can be a dangerous thing, especially when you retain the sin of prejudice. With a prejudiced mind, you will judge unrighteous judgment; you will abuse power and therefore you will be judged and the karma of your unrighteousness will descend.

     Know, then, beloved, that to be a good shepherd is to give the word of kindness and compassion again and again. Whether you journey to lower levels of the astral plane with Archangel Michael or to the highest levels of the etheric plane, remember to give kindness to all. For you never know when those who have strayed far from the center of being, under the influence of black magicians and fallen angels, will melt by the tenderness of your heart that says, "No matter how filthy or dark this one has become or how great his wrongs have been, I will give the word of kindness."

     Think of the mother who in desperation took the life of her two little boys.8 How the nation is disgusted with this mother. Severe crimes are being committed every day in every nation. Shall we toss this one or that one onto the rubbish heap and say, "This one is no longer worthy of kindness or compassion. His sins are too great"?

     No, we shall not, beloved. For one day that one who receives kindness and compassion, together with the violet flame of the Holy Spirit, may surely be converted to the real and living Christ, who I AM. And I do not exclude souls from my Church or ministry based on human prejudice or on the darkness of their deeds.

     There are those, as we have mentioned before, who say, "Your Jesus is not my Jesus." Blessed hearts, this is truly petty, is it not? Nevertheless, pray for those who mourn and know not how to have done with their mourning, for they have not received me. Pray for those who have not the greater vision and the greater understanding.

     The Modern Condemnation of Magda

     Take the example of one who was told about my beloved Magda. This one, who was of a Christian denomination, was told that Magda had made her ascension after her passing as Aimee Semple McPherson and that she had spent half a century at inner levels balancing the remainder of her karma, growing in grace and applying the violet flame in the transmutation of her karma.9 This one could not understand how one who had so sinned could be forgiven, could be the bride of Christ, as you are also brides of Christ, could enter into the Holy of holies with me and win her soul's ultimate victory.

     This state of mind is prevalent and it brings great sadness to my heart. And my sadness is for the hearts of Christians who love me and partake of my Communion cup but do not have the breadth of joy and the profound inner peace of understanding that salvation is truly available unto all, saint and sinner alike. Not all the Sadducees and Pharisees, not all the Herods, not all the Caesars, not all the rulers of this world are evil, beloved.

     How will you know when you meet someone who is of the Evil One and when you meet someone who is of God? For either one may be serving in an official capacity of meting out judgments, making laws and directing the course of justice.

     You will know one from the other, as I have said, by the gift of discernment of spirits. And you will, of course, carve your words to fit the occasion; but a simple seed of truth planted is enough, beloved, to turn around a lifestream, to turn one who is of a negative polarity to a positive polarity of hope and of joy.

     I ask you not to forsake any - any who are sent to you, any who come your way, any who knock at your door begging for the bread of Life. I ask you to remember that in the ups and downs of the sine wave of your many lifetimes you have been prince and pauper, priest and philosopher-king, sultan and slave.

     There is scarcely a role to be played in human life that you yourselves have not acted out. Some of you have gone astray from your spiritually ordained path for several lifetimes and then with hearts contrite you have returned again to the altar of the Great White Brotherhood. So, beloved, we have all had our dark moments and we have all had our light moments.

     I ask you, then, to see to it that from this day forward you will hold in check the propensity of the carnal mind to be prejudiced. But if you see by the gift of discernment of spirits that there is evil at the core of an individual, do not hesitate to call for the binding of that one's dweller-on-the-threshold that the soul might be liberated to fulfill her mission. This is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Walk ye in it.10

     I Reinforce Your Tie to Your Mighty I AM Presence and to the Electronic Presence of El Morya

     Espouse a Virtue from the Heart of Saint Germain

     I have also come this day to assist you in reinforcing your tie to your Mighty I AM Presence and to the Electronic Presence of the Master El Morya over you.11 And I have come to remind you to meditate on the precious portrait of Saint Germain (for he was my father in my final incarnation), which he has placed on the altar of your heart.12 In meditating on that portrait, won't you extract from the heart of Saint Germain a virtue that you will espouse and that you will cause to blossom as a thousand-petaled lotus? For every virtue can be divided into a thousand facets, corresponding to a thousand petals.

     Therefore, do not neglect to call to Saint Germain as you journey to the secret place of the Most High God, the secret chamber of the heart. Go there and bow before the altar, beloved. Bow before the altar so that you might commune with Saint Germain through your beloved Holy Christ Self.

     If you have espoused a certain quality of Saint Germain, continue to intensify it. In addition, select another that you have not espoused. Consider the five secret rays embodied by the Five Dhyani Buddhas and their relationship to the five physical senses. Through these rays you can develop a keen sensitivity. You have spiritual senses, beloved, and you can refine them, especially when you are in the company of individuals of a rare kindness, a rare soul beauty and a rare compassion.

     Attempt this refinement, beloved. Attempt to convey the greatest sweetness to one another as fellow disciples on the Path. Let that sweetness melt all hardness of heart, for many hold on to their hardness of heart because the soul has gone through intense travail in a past life, an intensity so great that her hardness of heart has become a shell of protection. And sometimes, even though you have been on the spiritual path for some time, you forget to unwind the coils of hardness of heart in which you have encased yourselves.

     You have known your Lanello, who throughout his incarnations almost never shielded himself from an arrow of outrageous fortune or from the condemnation of the world but left himself open to you and all he encountered. This is the high road, beloved.

     Your tube of light is able. Therefore, let the towers of cement and stone that have insulated you from contact with the masses now come tumbling down. Trust your tube of light and invoke it. Trust your Holy Christ Self. Trust your I AM Presence. Trust Archangel Michael and give your calls to him twenty minutes each day,13 and you will know protection for yourselves and your loved ones for the rest of your lives.

     Children of God, I Address You

     Children of God, I address you. Pray for your parents and pray for your teachers. Do not allow yourselves to become hardened by difficult situations. For all people are mortal and all people are spiritual. All have the Christ within, yet all have the capacity to err. Therefore, be grateful for the good and put into the violet flame that which is the bad.

     I speak to the children of this Community and I say: Come unto me, ye little ones and great ones. You have a path to walk in this life. It is not an easy one but if you will bond yourselves to me, it may not be as difficult as you might think. For I am your Lord also.

     I speak to the babes and the children in the womb. I speak to souls throughout the earth who are the Lightbearers, for these are they whom I would harvest. These are they whom I would anoint as good shepherds who will carry my Electronic Presence with them.

     Blessed children, I will answer your prayers if you will call to me and say: "Dear Jesus, be with me this day. Things have been difficult for me and my family recently." Or, "I have been having problems in my classroom with my teacher and my schoolmates. Please help my teachers. Please help my classmates. Please help me to make the world a better place."

     You can write a letter to me each week telling me of your burdens. I will enjoy reading your letters. And then with your parents or teachers, you can burn them and my angels will deliver them to me in heaven. You can do this after your Jesus' Watch service each week.

     "Let Not the Sun Go Down upon Your Wrath"

     And now I address all of you as children of the Light; for you are all children in one sense of the word, as your souls are coming to the fullness of the stature of Christ,14 and you are also sons and daughters of God. I speak to all, then, and I say: Commune with me. And, as many of you have learned and some quite recently, it is important to remember the counsel of the Great White Brotherhood to "let not the sun go down upon your wrath."15

     What does this mean, my children?

     My children, when you have an argument on the playground and you are angry at this one and that one, apologize to those you have wronged, call on the law of forgiveness for them and yourselves, and be certain that you kneel in prayer before you retire and ask God to forgive you and all whom you have injured. Do not go to sleep until you have invoked the violet flame to transmute the cause, effect, record and memory of the incident. Be certain to send love to self-styled enemies as well as to friends who may have been out of line in their interchanges with you. Forgive and forgive again, beloved, for this is the way of the Masters.

     You cannot afford to lose ground on your spiritual path by allowing any part of your being to be unresolved with me. For I AM your Lord and Saviour, and I dwell in the hearts of your friends and your enemies.

     The saying "Let not the sun go down upon your wrath" is a warning to all that if you go to sleep at night harboring anger toward friend or foe, your astral sheath (known as the ka, or astral ka) may wander about making mischief while you sleep, and sleep on. When you awaken you will have no knowledge or memory of the doings of your ka, yet you will be karmically accountable for the deeds of an uncontrolled anger.

     So ere the sun set and you retire at night, make your peace with God and man. This is especially important for those who desire to make their ascension in this life. Therefore, do not make bad karma waking or sleeping. To accomplish this you must maintain God-control at all levels of consciousness.

     And if you, my dear children in our schools here and my dear children throughout the world, will pray to me daily, I will come to you to comfort you, to console you, to teach you, to raise you up, to encourage you. I will come to each of you to raise you to the greatest levels of the potential of your being. I see your Causal Body. I see your I AM Presence. I see what is there. And so, study your lessons well. Work hard in school. Bring home to me your A's or the very best you are capable of, and I will help you to unlock the great talents of your Causal Body in this very life.

     Parents and Teachers, Your Children Must Be Taught Early

     Parents and teachers, you well know that children must be taught early while the gates of the mind are wide-open. I commend you for the accelerated program you have given to the children in this Community. And I commend parents throughout the world who have successfully used the Church's educational materials to stimulate early child development.

     We offer you a variety of educational materials for the benefit of your children, your grandchildren and the neighborhood children. For there are key souls being born to members of this Church and to people of Light around the world who are not members. And we are banking on the victory, beloved! We are banking on the victory! We are banking on the victory!

     We have sent bright and shining ones. Pray for them. Call to my angels that these ones might receive the Montessori training that your children have had and that they might get this training both at inner and outer levels so that they can outpicture the fullest potential of their reason for being.

     These matters are upon my heart, as well as the heart of Kuthumi, the heart of Mother Mary and of all ascended hosts. We pray, then, that you will make the call that those children of Light whom we send and all children aborning in the womb might not be aborted. Make this call daily. It does not take a great deal of time. You can say it while you walk from one place to the next:

     "Dear Jesus, save the children! For they are my brothers, they are my sisters. Save them and teach their parents not to abort them."

     Simple prayers, easy prayers and short prayers are so important.

     I commend you, the children of this Community, for your fervent, heartfelt decrees. It is with great joy that I can tell you that through your decrees some of you have balanced karma that you will now not have to deal with when you are adults. I speak of three-year-olds and five-year-olds and six-and seven-and eight-year-olds. I speak of you who came here bearing the burdens of your karma, who entered our Montessori classrooms and began to decree each day with your teachers and classmates. The Light has come into you and unto you, and the Light does shine through your eyes and through your chakras.

     And I, Jesus, must make the statement before this congregation that if you who are teachers and parents will make it a rule for all the children in your care to give decrees daily - especially the violet flame and any other decrees that the children select - you will see them balancing their karma and becoming one with their Holy Christ Self before your very eyes.

     When these children arrive at the fullness of life, when they are become responsible citizens in their areas of the world, they will be free of certain past karmas that have followed them even into this life. And if they have diligently continued their decrees through childhood and the teenage years, they will not be stopped in their tracks in the prime of their careers because they are stumbling over old karma tumbling down upon them at an inopportune time.

     Yes, karma usually does descend at an importunate16 time. And so, beloved, when it comes and you have not banked the fires of your heart with the violet flame, you are suddenly stopped short, perhaps in the midst of an important mission. This karma may lodge in the physical body as an illness or even a terminal disease. What a pity!

     Parents and Children, Let Your Voices

     Be Heard in King Arthur's Court!

     I say to all parents who know how to give dynamic decrees: Give them with your children and together make a joyful noise unto the LORD!17 Let your combined voices be heard in King Arthur's Court! Use the decrees for marching, dancing, singing and giving fiats unto the LORD, and you will note the shining faces of all the children in the Community. These get-togethers with the entire Community are a sacred trust for the future of our children.

     As all parents love their children deeply (or should), so I say to you, when you have the knowledge that children from the time of birth to the age of seven are wide-open to right-brain education and can balance so much karma, you will want to encourage them to decree and you will want to decree with them. Find ingenious ways to make the violet flame a happy part of the day at home and at school.

     Let the children each have their own special elemental costume that they put on when it is time to teach the Nature spirits how to decree. Your children often through the age of seven have elementals as their "invisible" playmates. Collecting violet, purple and pink objects for their personal violet flame altar is another way to keep the Seventh Ray momentum going. Dressing dolls and angels in the violet hues and growing violet-colored flowers year-round is also fun.

     Whatever you do, make the violet flame tangible - something they can touch and feel and taste and smell, and violet flame music they can hear and sing. Teach your children of the freedom the violet flame brings - how it will open doors to the octaves of Light and open them again for higher education and for service whereby they may serve millions of people as they take their places in government and in the arts and sciences.

     This is my counsel to you, beloved. For as you know, children are the fullness of God; and the full, mature adult lies in the little babe. Therefore, let the tree of life blossom and let it bear fruit. And let that fruit be the fullness of the Teachings of the Ascended Masters.

     I commend all, then, who have made it possible for this Community to move on in its mission. I am also grateful for the clearing up of matters that have been pending for so long with the IRS and that the state has issued its final EIS, allowing us to go ahead with our projects.

     "Ancient Prophecies" I and II

     So, beloved, once again you address the future. It is important that you evaluate what you see on the two ninety-minute specials on ancient prophecy.18 The prophecies have come forth from many mouthpieces across the nation. You must listen to them. And as you examine them, consider that they may be true or that they may be false. They may come from an Ascended Master or they may be of a low, psychic origin. But know this: The most dire predictions can yet be changed. What will it take? It will take a conflagration of the violet flame such as the world has not seen since past golden ages.

     Therefore I advise you to watch the sequel to "Ancient Prophecies I" if you have not already seen it. It is important that you take notes so you can evaluate the predictions from the point of your Holy Christ Self with the understanding that, though there be predictions, these can be mitigated or turned back altogether. When you know what the negative forecasts are, you can use your violet flame decrees to transmute the karma of the age before it cycles into the physical plane. I am asking you to make a list of the predictions made on these shows so that you can counteract them with fervent prayer and dynamic decrees.

     I ask you to do this, beloved, and yet to remember that those who are testifying do not always testify of me. They testify to the records of karma that are burdening the earth. And often in flashes of the mind they see that karma returning before their very eyes (the inner eye). Since they are open to the records of the past as they are projected onto the screen of the future, they must be told about the violet flame, the gift of Saint Germain. They must be taught how to use the violet flame to turn back prophecy that looms large but can yet be consumed by holy alchemy.

     The service that these seers render you and me is that in some cases they have truly seen what could and will come to pass unless the violet flame is invoked by devotees of any and all faiths - and even by those of no faith at all.

     Saint Germain's Saturday Night Service

     Therefore, I speak now on behalf of Saint Germain, who desires to see the violet flame occupy nine-tenths of your Saturday night services, which you dedicate to him. The Master desires that you give your violet flame decrees with great fervor and intensity so that the Lords of Karma can assess the levels of planetary change and planetary upliftment that Keepers of the Flame decreeing together throughout the time zones can actually accomplish in mitigating world karma between January 1, 1995, and April 23, 2002.19 We look forward to seeing the violet flame given in each of the twenty-four time zones, spanning twenty-seven hours.

     When you come to the altar on Saturday night, first make peace with thy brother, thy sister, mother, father, friend, and so forth.20 Come in a spirit of total peace and forgiveness, beloved.

     Let Saint Germain's "Violet Fire and Tube of Light Decree" begin the service and let the forgiveness flame follow. Whenever you feel the need to forgive any part of life, you have the Heart, Head and Hand "Forgiveness" decree - a short eight-line mantra you can give thirty-three times as you send profound love to one who has sinned against you or to one against whom you have sinned. You also have decree 70.16, "The Law of Forgiveness," to sustain forgiveness and love flowing to all as you transmute the records of unkindness. I ask you to remember this so that the pure river of Life of violet flame flowing in the earth, flowing like the Ganges, beloved, can so inundate the earth through you that this transmutation will take place.

     If you feel prompted to kneel at this altar on Saturday nights at any time during the service, you are free to do so. As you kneel, call on the law of forgiveness for yourselves, call on the law of forgiveness for others. And remember also that the call for the binding of the dweller-on-the-threshold of anyone who is out of alignment with Almighty God is an instrument of Divine Justice. It blesses the soul who is in the grips of the not-self and it blesses those who are the victims of that not-self.

     Beloved, great things can be accomplished in a twenty-seven hour period. And so, let us see what we shall do. Let us see what we shall do so that I may tell you what percentages of planetary karma are disappearing week upon week. And then as you read or watch the news and you take note of what is happening here and there, you will know where to focus your calls when you take leave of your bodies at night and go out into the etheric plane escorted by Archangel Michael and his legions.21

     Seek Divine Resolution before You Retire

     But I remind you again: It is important that you settle all arguments and all differences before you retire and go on your night's mission in the etheric octave. For your soul may be driven by malevolent spirits and your own dweller-on-the-threshold if you have not made your peace, at least at spiritual levels, with all people you are at odds with - whether the vilest of criminals or those who attack our Church. You must have divine resolution in your own soul ere you go to sleep even if you cannot achieve resolution outwardly with this one or that one.

     It is time that you took seriously the danger in retiring at night after having had a heated argument, engaging in discord of any kind, or having taken recreational drugs or become inebriated with alcohol. Some of you become angry with public figures, politicians, those who manipulate interest rates, the stock market, the economy. Some of you hate rock stars or drug lords. You must come to a greater God-mastery whereby you do not engage the evils of this world, you do not lock in to them.

     For if you allow the darkness of the dark ones to impinge upon your being, you will have opened the door and they will take your soul out of the etheric octave into the lower astral planes while you sleep. When you awaken you will not hear the angels' songs at dawn but the guttural voices of demons, and you will not need anyone to tell you that you are not in control of your own dweller-on-the-threshold or your emotions.

     We Wait to Empower You:

     A Twenty-Four-Month Cycle of Initiation

     I ask you to become spiritually astute and adept. For we wait to empower you. The Maha Chohan waits to empower you. Understand that Saint Germain also waits to empower you.

     Why do we wait, beloved?

     We watch and wait because we must observe each precious chela for a period of twenty-four months - twenty-four months. Yes, for two years you must not allow yourselves to become enangered, to enter into the criticism, condemnation or unjust judgment of others, or to pass on the latest gossip. You see, beloved, we must know that you will come into balance and stay in balance with right diet, right action, consistent prayer. For twenty-four months sustain this, beloved.

     And therefore I say, take the way of tenderness. Tenderly, tenderly receive me. Tenderly receive one another. And do not condemn a brother when he confides in you that he has committed a sin or an act that is not lawful. Help that one to get through it, beloved. The word is tender ... tenderness ... tenderly. Yes, tender to me the good and bury the hatchet.

     We need to empower you, and with that empowerment you will wear the mantle of the Good Shepherd. Though you may speak softly, you may yet have an inner wrangling; for soft speaking sometimes belies seething anger that is just beneath the surface.

     Let me have your understanding, beloved, that this empowerment we have been speaking about and that we would give you is an initiation. There are some among you who have not engaged in the negative Martian energies22 for a long time. Now I say to you, you who are worthy of empowerment, use the blue-flame decrees to increase El Morya's power in your auras and in your lives. Let that power and those blue-flame decrees become a magnet whereby you can receive a mantle of permanent empowerment.

     Understand that the exercise of God's power in executing his will takes tremendous energy and you can call it forth from your I AM Presence. Thus one who is forever soft-spoken and never speaking out against this or that injustice does not quite have the God-centeredness in the flame of the will of God to be given empowerment. Do you see, beloved ones?

     Therefore understand that you can speak firmly, and that firmness can be without criticism, without condemnation or judgment. But that firmness can convey the challenge of another's actions or of the individual who is not right with God. This is also your duty and your responsibility.

     In conclusion, beloved, I remind you that my disciples are always ready to help one another, to lift up one another and, in a tender but firm way, to correct some action or attitude of one who cannot see his own faults. Those who are unwilling to take the risk of making an enemy by counseling a brother or sister concerning this or that action that is wrong or unwholesome truly do not have the fire of Christ to bring others into the communion of Christ.

     It is always the responsibility of my disciples to warn, to assist, to love, to care for, to raise up and, yes, to rebuke fellow disciples who are going out of the way. And let those who receive that rebuke know that Morya's saying yet applies: "If the messenger be an ant, heed him." Listen to your messengers. Learn from them. And do not denounce one who comes lovingly and kindly to assist your soul.

     Do this, beloved. Love one another as I have loved you.23 My love for you in this hour is a propelling momentum. And I impart to you that momentum in order that you might become initiates and receive the empowerment of the will of God through the Holy Spirit.

     I seal you now in the victory of your God-flame.

     Accept it this day and Be thou made whole!

     The Law of Forgiveness

     Beloved mighty victorious Presence of God, I AM in me, beloved Holy Christ Self, beloved Heavenly Father, beloved great Karmic Board, beloved Kuan Yin, Goddess of Mercy, beloved Lanello, the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood and the World Mother, elemental life - fire, air, water and earth!

     In the name and by the power of the Presence of God which I AM and by the magnetic power of the sacred fire vested in me, I call upon the Law of Forgiveness and the Violet Transmuting Flame for each transgression of thy Law, each departure from thy sacred covenants.

     Restore in me the Christ Mind, forgive my wrongs and unjust ways, make me obedient to thy code, let me walk humbly with thee all my days.

     In the name of the Father, the Mother, the Son and the Holy Spirit, I decree for all whom I have ever wronged and for all who have ever wronged me:

     Violet Fire, enfold us! (3x)
Violet Fire, hold us! (3x)
Violet Fire, set us free! (3x)
 

     I AM, I AM, I AM surrounded by
a pillar of Violet Flame,24
I AM, I AM, I AM abounding in
pure Love for God's great name,
I AM, I AM, I AM complete
by thy pattern of Perfection so fair,
I AM, I AM, I AM God's radiant flame
of Love gently falling through the air.
Fall on us! (3x)
Blaze through us! (3x)
Saturate us! (3x)

     And in full Faith I consciously accept this manifest, manifest, manifest! (3x) right here and now with full Power, eternally sustained, all-powerfully active, ever expanding, and world enfolding until all are wholly ascended in the Light and free!

     Beloved I AM! Beloved I AM! Beloved I AM!

     Forgiveness

     I AM Forgiveness acting here,
Casting out all doubt and fear,
Setting men forever free
With wings of cosmic Victory.
 

     I AM calling in full power
For Forgiveness every hour;
To all life in every place
I flood forth forgiving Grace. (33x)

     This dictation by Jesus Christ was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood, Elizabeth Clare Prophet, on Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 1994, at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. Before the dictation, the Messenger read Psalm 147. [N.B. This dictation was edited for print by the Messenger under Jesus' direction.] Throughout these notes PoW is the abbreviation for Pearls of Wisdom.

3 "He that is without sin" John 8:1-11. The Ascended Master Jesus Christ has confirmed that Mary Magdalene was the woman taken in adultery whom the scribes and Pharisees wanted to stone.
4 The Ascended Lady Master Magda, the twin flame of Jesus Christ, was embodied as Mary Magdalene (see Matt. 27:55, 56, 61; 28:1-10; Mark 15:40, 41, 47; 16:1-11; Luke 8:1-3; 24:10; John 19:25; 20:1, 2, 11-18; and 1990 PoW, vol. 33 no. 46, p. 594 n. 5). In her final incarnation, she was the evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson (1890-1944), founder of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel. During her entire ministry, Aimee lived in anticipation of the day Jesus would come to receive her as his waiting bride.

8 The mother who took the life of her two boys. On October 25, 1994, Susan Smith of Union, South Carolina, reported that a man had hijacked her car at a traffic light and forced her to drive 10 miles at gunpoint. She told police that he then ordered her out of the car and took off with her two sons, Michael, 3, and Alex, 14 months. Police, state troopers, FBI agents and thousands of volunteers searched the county as people throughout the nation prayed for the boys' safe return. Union residents lined Main Street with yellow ribbons, symbols of hope and remembrance. On November 3, nine days after the alleged abduction, Smith confessed that she had killed her sons in desperation over money problems, her failed marriage and disappointment in romance. She told authorities she had set her car rolling into a nearby lake with her children strapped in the back seat. In her confession letter, she wrote: "I wanted to turn around so bad and go back, but I knew it was too late. I was an absolute mental case! I couldn't believe what I had done." Public reaction to Smith has been angry and intense. One person said, "She betrayed her children and the entire country." A woman at the nearby airport said, "She's slime, just slime." A woman whose daughter worked with Smith advocated "stringing her up right in the middle of the courthouse." As Smith left the courthouse following her arraignment, the crowd jeered and hissed. Her lawyer, David Bruck, said, "She is heartbroken."
