52  The Beloved Archangel Gabriel - December 29, 1961

Vol. 4 No. 52 - The Beloved Archangel Gabriel - December 29, 1961

     Hail - O Immaculate Concept! The Nativity of a Divine Idea in IMMORTAL MANIFESTATION is measured by each one's comprehension of that blessed idea. At the portal of the New Year Cycle for the Planet Earth, I AM drawing nigh this day with a message of import for all who love Life, for all who are imbued with the thought that GOD intends ALL JOY for ALL THE WORLD!

     Now, TODAY, the IMMORTAL LIGHT OF GOD THAT NEVER FALLS reaches its internal zenith for the Planet Earth and the outward mark of its expression is herein declared. Long has an age of bondage held sway over the minds and hearts of men. I AM come this day to ANNOUNCE to the people of Earth that the day of limited concepts is past-that the time of the UNIVERSAL CHRIST has come!

     I AM announcing the conception within every woman of the perfect Divine man! I AM announcing to every man that the conception of God is alive in you forevermore. In your realization that GOD dwells within your mortal form and beats your heart-that God in you is the Christ Light which makes you His Son is the conception of Perfection for each man and woman. The Nativity of the Christ within EACH MEMBER of the human family makes, therefore, one unbroken Divine Circle of all of life and heralds to the people of Earth the need for redeeming themselves from outworn and warped religious concepts regardless of how long they have held to them or how long they have adoringly submitted to their incorrect expressions! The mission of the Christ of Galilee and Nazareth is implemented as He would have it be by all men accepting for themselves that they are in truth Sons of God also.

     PROCLAIM to the Earth the dawn of its GOLDEN AGE! Begin by pushing to the fore the RIGHT UNDERSTANDING OF GOD'S LAWS.

     Fear not, little children, it IS the FATHER'S PLAN to give you the Kingdom, which can never exist outside of HIMSELF. Acknowledge yourself as the CHRIST and you shall entertain Angels! Behold yourself as the Christ and you shall lay aside the outmoded garments of good and evil. In the sinless Perfection of God you shall behold the possibility of your own attainment. Think of yourself as an Ascended Being, as a Cosmic Being or even as an Angel! We are ministering Spirits of the Blessed Eternal Fire; as one of Us you serve God without ceasing.

     Mere acceptance of the idea of the Cosmic Universal Son shining within and through you ushers in your Spiritual rebirth. The Universal acceptance by all men upon Earth that they are God's children, and the unification of their religious concepts by discarding those elements which uselessly DIVIDE men's hearts from the ONE floods the Earth with the LIGHT OF IMMORTALITY. A Golden Age is preceded by the Golden Flame of Illumination which produces obedience to the Golden Rule. Such conducts the expression of the Christ. Individuals and societies so living partake of the Kingdom of Heaven here and now!

     It is futile to cling to limited hereditary and traditional religious thinking when the glorious Hosts of Heaven await to array mankind in the swaddling garments of a young Prince. How vain the retention of those concepts which while proclaiming good have not fulfilled the Love Plan of the Prince of Peace for all Nations upon Earth! OPEN THE GATES OF THE TEMPLE OF HAPPINESS within your own Heart, O mankind! See the sweeping beauty of the eternal as it pours out a special anointing this coming year. All of Life has long awaited the HOPE manifest this day! As you move into a New Cycle be as wise virgins. Keep the lamps of your Spirit trimmed and burning!

     From the Angelic Realm I AM come, and the potential Marys and Josephs shall always heed the Angelic message. Journeying with haste to the Manger at Bethlehem, they shall desire to manifest the Christ in all His fullness from DAY UNTO DAY. Their human qualities as shepherds kneeling shall adore the Divine within them-which is their REAL LIFE. Wisely they shall bring to this Adoration (as the Magi of old) the best gifts of the Golden Age, the Golden Christ Illumination without end, the myrrh of discrimination against all folly, and the frankincense of an adoring heart whose voice ceaselessly pours out its Praise to ETERNAL BEING, which knows, is known and is "I AM"!

     Adoring Thy God Presence-"I AM" announcing

     Thy own IMMACULATE CONCEPT attained by all,

ARCHANGEL GABRIEL

Bibliography

Volume 4, Number 46, footnote 8. Shekinah (Hebrew for "dwelling" or "Presence"): the visible majesty of the presence of God which has descended to dwell among men; God's presence in the world as manifested in natural and supernatural phenomena. Examples of the Shekinah as seen in the Old Testament: the burning bush (Exod. 3:2), the cloud on Mount Sinai (Exod. 24:16, 17), the Divine Presence that rested over the mercy seat of the ark of the covenant (Exod. 25:21, 22; Lev. 16:2), and the glory of the Lord that filled the tabernacle (Exod. 40:34, 35) and later the Temple of Solomon (I Kings 8:10, 11). In the New Testament the Shekinah is seen in "the glory of the Lord" shining round the angel who appeared to the shepherds (Luke 2:9) and in the cloud on the mount of transfiguration (Matt. 17:5). Ultimately, it is seen by Christian theologians to be the glory of God which became incarnate in Jesus - "And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth" (John 1:14).

Volume 4, Number 50, footnote 8. The eternal Creator, Preserver, and `Destroyer' - Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva - of the Hindu Trinity parallels the Western concept of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Brahma, as the Father figure and the First Person of the Trinity, is seen as the Immense Being - the Creator, Supreme Ruler, Lawgiver, Sustainer, and Source of All Knowledge. Vishnu, the Second Person of the Trinity, is the immortal Son, the Preserver of the divine design, the Restorer of the universe by Wisdom's light. Shiva, as the Holy Spirit and Third Person of the Trinity, is the Lord of Love outpicturing the dual nature of Destroyer/Deliverer - the fearsome one who drives away sin, disease, and demons of delusion.
According to the law of the conservation of energy, "energy can be neither created nor destroyed." Universal energy goes through successive stages of transformation. Technically speaking, the violet flame purifies, refines, and transmutes. To purify is a part of the process of creation, to refine of preservation, and to transmute of deliverance (`destruction') through the disassociation and repolarization of matter. All three functions change the electronic vibration of matter and consciousness. Hence, the alchemical action of the violet flame is a function of the Trinity: Creator, Preserver, Destroyer in their respective roles as Purifier, Refiner, Transmuter.

Volume 4, Number 11, footnote 1. Capitalization of the qualities of God. When attributes become personifications of the Deity or a member of the Trinity, they are capitalized. Often the distinction is moot as to whether or not a quality of God is, in fact, interchangeable with our conception of God personified in and through and as his attributes. Such words that come under this category are light, love, truth, mind, and being.
It is up to the reader to discern for himself that God both owns these qualities and professes them. They are always his. He is his qualities and endows them with his personhood - e.g., God is Light, God is Love (both with a capital L). Contrast: God's light, God's love (lowercased). The Law (capitalized) is God in manifestation.
In some cases, when embodied mankind manifest the attributes of God, they are lowercased. In other instances, a quality of God permeates both heaven and earth, God and man; and wherever it is seen it is clearly through that presence - that omnipresence - as well as that personal God.
The absolute or relative nature of a quality or its infinite or finite nature may also determine whether or not it is capitalized. The choice of deference may vary from individual to individual. Every reader may maintain his own preference. He is welcomed to do so.
If all qualities of God were capitalized, of course, it becomes clear that everything in the book could be capitalized! Thus, for readability, we have lowercased all but the most prominent manifestations of the Deity. The absence of capitalization, however, does not alter the meaning of the word itself - as in angel.
