Hail, O Children of One Father!
With what radiant design did God purpose creation! The small fragment of that design that has been externalized by man limits the release of universal energy into the dimensions of time and space. Yet how cherished is the beautiful image of God that has proclaimed the fragrant portent of His perfect thought!
I come then this day to speak to myriad hearts of the birth of the tender love of God in the forcefield of human thought and feeling. Gazing upon outer manifestations, men are wont to admit that the world is a place of dire foreboding, that darkness does indeed cover the land.1 Take heart! The perfection of the ages is to be found in the universal majesty of the eternal Christ.
Long ago when I appeared unto Mary and proclaimed the nativity that was to be, my annunciation was received by her as the wonder of God.2 Thus, although that holy thing which was born of her was fully developed at inner levels of consciousness, the Son of God, once he became a native of Bethlehem of Judea, was in the eyes of men no different from other mortals. The child Jesus grew and waxed strong in spirit,3 but his calling was known only to the few.
Even today, with the progress and enlightenment of the years, it is still true that men and women of the Spirit go unrecognized by those who are the offspring of the flesh. These, of course, are the children of mammon whose consciousness is wedded to the principle of the way that seemeth right.4 In his ministry the Master Jesus spoke to these saying, "The Father Himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His shape. And ye have not His word abiding in you: for whom He hath sent, him ye believe not. Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."5
O beloved hearts of Light, whereas God's grace is everywhere apparent in the world, there has been much desecration of the Sacred Scriptures, much that has been changed of the written Word. Many, out of the dullness of their hearts, believe that God would intervene and prevent men's tampering with Holy Writ. Let all understand that were this the case, there would have been no need for the warning that appears in the Book of Revelation: "I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the Book of Life, and out of the Holy City, and from the things which are written in this book."6
If it were possible for the Lord's hosts to set aside cosmic law and enter into the affairs of men, then Heaven would indeed have stopped untold injustices from manifesting upon the planet by simply overriding humanity's free will. This God has not done. That which has transpired upon the planetary body has for the most part been subject to the will of man. And those who have sought to prove and disprove, to enter into argumentation and to defend dogma have often rent the living Truth without understanding that through analysis they have destroyed the delicate threads that comprise the tapestry of Life.
In declaring to the ages the need for the rebirth of the Christ Consciousness in all hearts, I, Gabriel, signify to mankind that the cause of much of their difficulty lies in their dogmatic presentations of religious Truth. Failing to take into account the justice and mercy of God that transcends all doctrine, they feed upon the fermentation of human infamy while contemplating the damnation of "unbelievers"; and in their neglect of natural law, they bypass the Truth hidden within the realm of the heart, unspoken and unknown by either themselves or their contemporaries.
The teachings of Hierarchy given to initiates thousands of years ago, and even up until the time just prior to the birth of John the Baptist, foretold the procession of avatars who would be coming into embodiment. The gifts of the Holy Spirit were imparted to the children from their mother's knee. The principles and precepts of the Law of Life, drawn from the sacred temples of Egypt, were openly discussed in the households as well as in places of worship; and this included the true teachings on karma and reembodiment. Men knew that they were initiators of the law of their own being, that their lives were manifestations of shadow and Light according to their qualification of God's energy, and that above all they should cast the shadows of the past into the Sacred Fire and hold to the Light of the present and the future as they progressed on the Path. And they awaited the birth of John, believing he would be the ensoulment of the prophet Elijah, the forerunner of Jesus, who was destined to fulfill a magnificent mission for The Brotherhood under the Fatherhood of God.
I AM an Archangel. My role is to invoke purity and the immaculate concept on behalf of a planet and its evolutions. I come, then, to announce to humanity that if they will put away the weapons of destruction they presently harbor within their spirits - and that in complete contradiction to the teachings of Heaven - they may well find themselves drinking into the chalice of a New Age of enlightenment and hope. As the Word of the Lord was given to the prophet Isaiah, "They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more,"7 so it is time for that prophecy to be fulfilled. As soon as mankind are willing to surrender their defenses, they will receive undreamed of assistance in solving the collective problems of the race, making way for a golden era of peace and abundant living.
The political persuasions of mankind are often far removed from the Golden Rule teachings of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords,8 who sought not to create strife between Gog and Magog9 but to create a fusion of hearts whose faith in God and one another would be founded in the inner teachings of the law of infinite love.
Unfortunately, millions of men and women misunderstand the meaning of love. They presume to understand love but do not. Therefore, they say of those who truly are the manifestation of divine love that they are deceived and deceiving; and they say of those who are filled with hatred and despite - who have allowed their consciences to be seared with a hot iron10 by continually disobeying the law that is written within their hearts - that they do the will of God. Thus Jesus said, "Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets."11
What contradictions abound in these times! In politics and in religion men say one thing and do another. How cleverly the powers of darkness have designed social schisms and economic instabilities! How cleverly they have succeeded in inculcating in man the very root of bitterness12 and the seeds of division and disillusionment! Not in the letter of the law, beloved hearts, will Life emerge victorious, but in the Spirit which is God.13
In proclaiming to humanity the advent of the Christ Consciousness and the victory of the Flame of the World Mother, I send legions of angels to the planet earth - angels of purity, angels of the resurrection, angels from the temples of Light. And they shall bathe the planet and its people in the regenerate energies of the sundering tide of God's love that separates the darkness of mortal thought from the brightness of the triumphant Christ Consciousness.
Soon men everywhere will turn more and more to the advent of love. They will awaken from their long sleep, and they will know that wolves in sheep's clothing14 have trifled with the very foundations of their spiritual endeavor and that the manipulators have adulterated universal Truth with their carnal reasoning that is incapable of grasping the things of the Spirit.15 They will see that the crystallized concepts of orthodoxy are a testimony to the work of the evil ones rather than to the teachings of Christ. And in their repudiation of doctrinal error, which need not be violent, but simply a turning-aside to greater Light, they will find at last the thundering energies of God speaking in their heart and conscience, as from the heights of Sinai and Horeb of old, advocating a return to the simple, childlike expression that is the fiat of the Golden Age: Except ye become as a little child, ye cannot enter in.16
For the little child that was to lead them17 proclaimed in later years, "Before Abraham was, I AM,"18 thus challenging the consciousness of each man and woman to rise a step higher on the stairway of cosmic justice - the justice of the Creator who has lovingly bestowed upon every son and daughter of God the opportunity to become the Christ. For the manchild that was to rule all nations with a rod of iron19 knew that at a higher level they would discover the abundant consciousness of the Holy City and reunion with the living God through daily awareness of the Christ and the eternal recognition of the Divine Image in all.
"Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God."20 The New Age dawneth - the age of joy and fulfillment in the Son of Righteousness and Truth - when the cry of the jackal and the wolf shall be heard no more in the land, when the Light of ten thousand suns shall blaze an annunciation trail unto every mother, speaking of her responsibility to every child of God, of her hopes for the future of all mankind, yea, of the eternal procession of worlds without end.
I AM one with the Light of the Archangels,
