Blessed children of my heart, children of the white-fire light which descends as a mighty flame from the heart of creation, know ye not that the Father who gavest thou life and being and allness hath established thy purpose from everlasting unto everlasting?
O sacred fire, descend now I pray this day upon all those who read these words that they may know that the Motherhood of God is vested within me, that they may know the Fatherhood of God as it was manifested by my son, the Christ, the Holy One who has become one with the Father and serves upon the cosmic ray of infinite Christhood on behalf of all mankind evolving upon this blessed orb.
Blessed ones, it is time to think upon immortal destiny and the origin of that destiny. Can you not realize that because you have come forth from the great Source of all life, your destiny is preempted and preordained by the very nature of that origin. Life is not hopeless, life is not without direction, without cause or purpose, or being, or salvation. The very one who gave you breath has also created and framed and fashioned the worlds, and he has created an ultimate goal for each and every manchild who is in the process of becoming one with the Father.
During this holy season which commemorates those days when the beloved Jesus walked once again among his disciples in his refined body of light, preparatory to his ascension, I would remind you of the great wisdom which can be gleaned from the Christ each year during the period following his victory over death and the cross. Life in all of its immaculate stillness breathed forth into that blessed one the fullness of heaven while he yet walked among mankind, and Jesus did appear, then, in the closed room and did teach, not only to the disciples who had followed him, but also to the holy women who had prayed and assisted him throughout his ministry.
The teachings of the risen Christ are transcendent, indeed, and far in advance of those recorded in the Scripture which he gave in parable to the multitudes. Today, the Great White Brotherhood would impart to mankind the fullness of those teachings, and we stand ready, at the portal of humanity, to impart the knowledge which he gained after that final triumph when the world could no longer touch him, for he remained a part of the world and yet he had overcome this world. Not even the force of gravity could hold his body earthbound, but by conscious will he remained to give his final service to the evolutions of Earth.
Beloved ones, do you know the great meaning and the great sacrifice that it was for him to remain with the disciples after his resurrection, and also to descend into the astral planes, the level which mankind call "hades" where those souls slept who had not been reborn since the Atlantean days due to their extreme infringements of the Great Law? Do you know what it meant for the Christ to remain to teach, to give the very ultimate of his being before his ascension and then, having said all, having given all, to walk up the hill, Bethany's hill, to stand in that place, marked by the sacred fire with a blazing white cross, to stand in the center of that cross and to feel the mighty ascension ray pulsating, pulsating, pulsating, until it took complete control within his lower bodies and raised him into the final glory of reunion with the Holy One, the mighty I AM Presence of all life?
Those final hours of deliverance to the captives are recorded in akasha, and the teachings are there for all who can approach the Spirit of the Resurrection Flame, for all who can become one with the mission of Christhood which is the joy and privilege of every man, woman, and child who has gone forth from the heart of the Father. Blessed ones, I am calling today for a conscious reunion with the Spirit of Christhood that you might enter into the Holy of Holies, to that place where the fullness of the divine teachings may flow from your own Christ Presence into the very cells of your brains to awaken you to the knowledge of life without end, life without beginning.
I come to you this day to inspire you to search the meaning of all things that pertain to the fullness of your own Christ-identity with its transcendent possibilities. Realize, then, that the Father who gave you life and birth could not have done so without imparting unto you the seed containing all that which you shall ultimately be as you discover your Divine Selfhood which was created and is sustained in his image and likeness; the fullness of your divine potential, then, is already a part of your true being. You have but to claim it, to commune with it, to adore it, to be one with the Presence of the Lord of Hosts.
Strive daily, then, to be children of the one God, followers of the high calling, as Christs and sons of the Most High. Little by little, as the sand falls in the hourglass, so the knowledge of divine union will descend into your lower self and enable you to have that reunion, which you so desire, with the great wisdom of your Higher Mind. Nothing is impossible to him who believes in the promise and the fulfillment of the Christ for every man; for, indeed, the Christ did give himself for the sins of mankind - not that mankind throughout all ages shall be exonerated for wrongdoing because he died - no, but because he lived, they, too, can find the glory of the resurrection and know the fullness of their own Christ Self. Jesus did not place himself upon the cross to atone for your sins, precious ones, only you can do that; but the Christ offered himself that you might realize that you, too, can be an overcomer of all things through him.
The footsteps of the cross are not sorrowful ones, precious children, they are the footsteps of the overcomer; they are the steps of initiation which each one must pass. But because my son manifested them for you, the pathway is made easier for your lifestream. The Christ would not deprive any one of God's children from the great joys upon the path of overcoming. God would not confine salvation to one son when all must find the fullness of his Presence here on earth in order to rise into the heavenly bliss which comes from fulfillment and from self-mastery.
Beloved ones, the path of the Christ is not one to be shunned; it is one to be embraced. Give yourself wholeheartedly, then, to the pursuit of this high calling, for no greater joy exists. You think that in the pleasures of the world there is happiness, that in the indulgences of the senses you will find true oneness and happiness. How false are mankind's conceptions of bliss, for joy is found only in the Presence of the Joyous One. Absence from the Lord is not life; on the contrary, it is nonexistence; it is separation, incompleteness, a cutting off from the Divine Source which can only result in unhappiness, fruitlessness, and death.
I AM the resurrection, and the life! So simple is this statement of the Christ before them and to which all nature attests. O mankind, reverse the flow, reestablish the patterns of divine unity, and you will find the joy of the Lord in his Presence.
I, Mother Mary, wish to reaffirm to you this day our solemn union with all those upon earth who are struggling to see, with those who walk in darkness and yearn to see the great light. I declare to you this day that we who have gone on before you are never absent from you in your hours of trial, when the advocates of sin would tempt you with all manner of folly and deceit; and when you vanquish the invisible forces which oppose the Christ, we are there to applaud your victory, to give you our hand and to say, "Come up higher! Well done! Thou hast been faithful over a few things. Continue in the fight and you will win the full crown to become ruler over many."
The joy of that crown, the joy of victory, the joy of freedom in the heart of God is worth all giving and all giving up of the earth. Beloved ones, you can enjoy the beauties of this world which are the beauties of God without being overcome by the world. We are not here to advocate extreme austerity and a bed of nails as the key to salvation. Nay, we are here to tell you that the embracing of life and of love in all creation is reunion with the Father. To praise God in all men is to know the true I AM,1 for he is in you all, and all men are fashioned of his supreme essence and light.
All else is naught; shun it then. Divest yourselves of that which would impede the flow of light within you and create burdens too dense to be taken to the summit height.
O starry night
Flood forth the light
Let mankind know that high
Within those infinite orbs
The might and right
And light of infinite hands
Hath sparked in the manifestation, man
So much light -
So much fire of his heart -
That the entire universe may behold
The glory of those who have overcome.
Be ye therefore overcomers
The Christ way is the only way
Follow his footsteps through the night
Learn the power when truth is right
Within your heart, ne'er to depart
'Till all have come to know the way.
The day of reckoning is at hand
Let every heart throughout the land
Be receptive to the Christ within
Forever shun the bane of sin.
Mankind must rise this hour
Lest the victory be postponed to a latter day
For if ye do not seize this hour -
The mighty I AM, its strength, its power -
The cosmic cycle will have turned
And ye know not when opportunity shall return.
This is the cosmic hour
This is the appointed time
Now is come salvation, now is come the Lord
Receive him - receive him now
To his Light and love all bow.
For glory and honor and peace are His
No more shall mankind be deceived
The time is here, the Christ doth appear
In the hearts of all who have the courage bold
To lift the banner: To have, to hold.
No man can take from another the Flame of Life
It is in your hands - there is no strife
For God is nigh, and he has said,
"The light shall expand, the darkness has fled!
Go forth, ye sons, go forth, tonight!
Bear the power of victory's might
Conquer, then, in Christ's own name
Conquer, then, by Christ's own flame."
Do not fear to tread the Path
It has been paved for you to win at last:
You will win this very day
If you heed the call
From those who point the way
For God on high is ever nigh
And will not let one go astray
If he will watch and wait and pray.
I AM the Cosmic Mother
I stand within God's flame
My hand is offered unto all
Who will look to me and make the call
You are the children of my heart
I have given my all that you may start
Upon the Homeward path of light
Where angels guard all through the night.
You are the chosen ones so blest
Stand steadfast, God will do the rest
Never let your faith be replaced
By clouds of darkness and disgrace
For none can challenge the light of Christ
None can disillusion the children of light
I AM here, I AM near
To guide and guard you all the way.
Lovingly in the name of the ascended Christ,
