Children of the Sacred Chalice:
As you ride through the busy streets of life, do you stop long enough to consider the reality of your being tied to the chalice of your heart? Your consciousness is a sacred connection; when it is correctly used, it can, like a giant beam of a searchlight, pierce the gloom of human night and nebulousness and then involve itself in unerring contact with the Presence of God or with those divine emissaries to whom He has assigned specific functions in the universe.
Have you thought, beloved ones, of the multitudinous manifestations of Life, of how here in the physical world there are so many diverse manifestations as to almost dazzle the eyes of the mind? In a spiritual sense there are even more manifestations, yet all are manifestations of the One. It is vital that man should cease to allow himself to be confused by human interpretations of dogma which seek to separate the creations of heaven or earth from the Lord that hath made all things.1 Men choose so frequently to honor Him with their lips and by supposedly directing their consciousness toward God alone; but while they seek to honor Him, they exclude all of the functional and beautiful manifestations which He has made and charged with specific uses to the glory of the Light in man.
How many there are in the world today who always seek to reach the Christ on the throne without understanding that the tiniest grain of sand or blade of grass and the smallest individual from the standpoint of human esteem is also by God's decree a manifestation of that Universal Christ. Won't you try to understand that it is only an activity of darkness that attempts to separate humanity into segments, allowing individuals to think that this lesser manifestation is the all of God, whereas there are higher manifestations which all can find through the attainment of the Christ Consciousness. Through the schemes of false esteem, through the improper placement of values, mankind reject God in Matter, or they reject God in the temple of the heart's chalice, or they reject God in all of the secondary phases of His expression save the Central Sun or what they consider to be the central Reality of creation.
This is not pleasing to God; it is direct disobedience to the principles of "Love one another."2 For it is by loving Life free the changes in mankind's actions will take place which will bring in the Golden Age. It is so vital that the great pressures of love of the very Godhead itself be transmitted into the chalice of the heart, the focal point of the individual's consciousness, and then sent out to love every manifestation of God that is bound and blinded by human dogmas and human greed to free them all - free at last.
Don't you see that life is not intended to be an orgy that demoralizes, degrades, and destroys the central theme of Love's purpose, which has ever in view the harmony of the sacred spheres and that work which Jesus referred to so long ago when he said, "My Father worketh hitherto, and I work"?3 One day as all advance in their spiritual consciousness through the chalice of their own heart, they will come to the similitude of God, to the place where they will understand the work of God, the labors of His love, the labors of His creativity, the labors in which all are intended to share.
From the first dawn of creation it was God's hope that man, made in His own image,4 would learn how to be one with Him5 and elect so to be; thus the Father foreknew that many blessed souls would enjoy the spirit of wholeness through imbibing the spiritual gnosis of Life. By this process they would be able to bring their consciousness into complete harmony with the Consciousness of God through the ministration of the Holy Spirit and through the complete acceptance of the Reality of God.
It is recorded in the Scriptures that "every knee should bow at the name of Jesus"6 and that "the Son [should] also himself be subject unto Him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all."7 Let all understand, then, the nature of the office of Mediator, the office held by the Christ of every man, not as one of worldly position and pomposity, but a one of humility before God and authority before man.
My Son, whose identity became totally merged with the Christ, long ago rejected the temporal crown upon the celebration of Palm Sunday. He desired only the crown of service in the kingdom of God and to bring many sons into captivity to the will of God. Don't you see, then, that it is not the worship of his person that he craves, but the identification of every son and daughter with the inner Christ-radiance which God placed within the chaliced being of man?
Through utter devotion man will one day be able to understand that true worship is the worship of God as Spirit,8 both in its universal aspect and in its specific individualization in hearts abiding in the dimensions of Matter. Thus the diadem of lives lived in and for Him may indeed provide the encircling crown of the World Mother which she may hold in her hands and offer unto God. For Spirit is one; and though, as has been said, there be gods many and lords many, "there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in Him."9
To Him be "blessing, and honour, and glory, and power."10 Let the temples of individual lives, the temples of the world, and the varying religions of the world learn to understand this cardinal truth that they may cease in their warrings and begin to express universal compassion.
I say then, it is up to this handful of people gathered here and those [throughout the world] who will respond to analyze the year's events beginning January 1, 1972, to see those things which have transpired in every nation upon earth and to call in the name of my Son and in the name of the Divine Mother that all activities not in keeping with the divine will or the divine plan for this earth be checked, be consumed, be held in abeyance during this final cycle. For only if you thus systematically follow these trends and untangle the labyrinth of mankind's thoughts and feelings and actions will you be able to prepare the way for the Golden Age cycles that are to be released on New Year's Eve.
I have seen in the past the prayers that you have mustered, the long hours you have spent in decrees. I have seen the faith, the worthiness, the response of the student body; and there is not a shadow of doubt in my consciousness that you will not respond this day. I know that you shall, for I know that you have done so in the past; and I behold the Immaculate Conception of your Divinity.
I place my hand then upon your foreheads this morning to seal within the All-Seeing Eye of God focus there the Immaculate Conception of your own Divinity; and I say, let that image of the cosmic city foursquare, the temple beautiful of your own individuality, your own individed identity, appear now for the victory, parting the way, parting the Red Sea of your own human consciousness and providing the pathway into the Promised Land of the Golden Age and the new heaven and the new earth.
I, then, will stand with you. And if you will call to me asking in the name of the Christ that I show you what things you ought to call for, how ye ought to pray, I will certainly show you. Heaven is not beyond the methods of research that are pursued by your scientists and scholars today, for Heaven also keeps its records and has its libraries. The Keeper of the Scrolls, that great being who sends forth his legions of angels to keep the record of every man, woman, and child upon this planet, will draw forth from the Book of Life in your behalf, if you will call to him and to the Lords of Karma, those pages that require seeing and examination if you are to make the proper calls.
I say to you, beloved hearts, be not weary in well-doing.11 If it is necessary to go to your libraries to examine the events of the years, then do so. Then look and listen and learn, for I have spoken. I have shown you this day that it is possible for a dedicated humanity to transmute not only present but past turmoil, past discord, past records of darkness and of death. By transmuting the past before it is able to be written upon the pages of the future, the devotees can spare mankind the holocaust and the cataclysm of their own returning karma.
Do you not see, then, that the mercy of the Great Law is retroactive - past, present, and future? The beacon of mercy turns round and round, circular in motion, in the great lighthouse of the world. Mercy is the beacon, the lamp that is placed there now by the Hand of Almighty God. Seize it, then! Withhold not the last measure of devotion.
These are they who love not their lives unto the death.12 These are they, O Lord; these are they which stand before you this day and plead on behalf of an ignorant and blighted humanity. These are they who are willing to do penance that the Law might be satisfied, that the Law might be fulfilled. These are they who know that the suffering of the human consciousness prepares the way for the glory, the glow-ray of the Christ Consciousness to come into manifestation in the planes of Mater, of the Divine Mother.
O Lord, have mercy! O Lord, have mercy! O Lord, have mercy upon their souls! I, Mary, stand before the Most High God this day to intercede on behalf of humanity everywhere - those who call to me, those who spurn me, those who know me not. From the least unto the greatest, all are the children of my heart. And I stand with my heart bleeding, as it were, as the sword of mankind's disobedience pierces the heart of the Mother once again. I, too, am willing to bear the pain of the travail of giving birth to the Divine Manchild, the travail of a planet overcoming the darkness and the night. For I AM a cosmic mother; and I know that when the dawn appears, the dawn of the great Golden Age, so the Christ Child shall be born in everyone. Every man, woman, and child upon this planet shall give birth to the Divine Son; and this shall mark the Golden Age.
This is the beginning of the new order of the ages. This is the Second Appearing. This is the hour when the capstone is placed upon the pyramid of each man's identity. For the All-Seeing Eye is the eye of the Immaculate Conception of the Christ; and when He shall appear, we shall see Him as He is13 in manifestation in man, in woman, in all Life. By the authority of the Holy Spirit and the Divine Mother, who is the bride of the Holy Spirit, I seal you in my love, in my protection, and in the divine memory of the vows you have taken to serve until every last one has the opportunity for the victory and the ascension in the Light.
