Behold! The tabernacle of God is with men.1 And I am come to bear witness of the Truth. The Truth is the Light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world.2 Your Heart Flame was ignited by the power of Truth in the beginning. And in Truth God looked upon you and beheld His own immaculate reflection. You are the water of living Truth. You say, how do I say that you are that water? I say it because water is the flowing stream of Life that God is and that becomes man through the nexus of the Christ Consciousness.
Water, then, the third part of a man, comprising his emotional body, is the mighty sea of Life upon which his own Christ Consciousness walks as his teacher to demonstrate the laws of alchemy, of precipitation, of life over death, of harmony over discord, and the basic precepts of the Law, which, when man understands and practices diligently, qualify him to become an initiate in the Order of the Brotherhood of Truth.
Initiates of this order wear white robes trimmed with a band of the emerald ray. And as they increase in the mastery and use of that ray, we increase the bands of the emerald ray on the sleeve. I say this to you to place before you a goal, and that goal is dominion. Dominion over water is the triumph of the Piscean Age, and that dominion qualifies a man or a planet to go forward into the cycles of Aquarius.
Now when the cycles come, if man is not ready or a planet is not ready, the cycles come nevertheless. And then where is man? He is caught in the changing of the tides of Life, and he knows not the way to go. And so he walks among the living dead, because he has not the mastery of the oncoming cycle.
You have heard it said that the Aquarian Age is nigh and even at the very door. How many will go forward into that age? That is the question that is before the Lords of Karma as they examine the records of mankind. One is taken and another is left.3 As I have pondered in my heart the lack of preparedness on the part of mankind, I have been moved with the compassion of Truth. For above all I behold the true Being of mankind, one and all; and then I see the discrepancy between the Truthful Presence of the Immaculate Image and that which the Liar and his lie have made of humanity, who in their folly have not worshiped Truth but have worshiped the lie and the golden calf of materialism and of their pleasures century after century.
As the sands in the hourglass have fallen, mankind have wasted their energies. And so they are come to the marriage feast, bidden there by the Lord. And then the Lord says unto them: "What! Have you not a wedding garment?" And to His servants He declares: "Cast them into outer darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."4
The Law of Truth is immutable and impersonal. Let then the fires of Truth descend this night into your midst. For as I thought in my heart upon mankind, I said to myself, Who then is worthy to come to the marriage feast? The Christ of every man is worthy, but I shall go to the remnant whose consciousness at least allows them to partake of the communion cup of the Ascended Masters and the Ascended Masters' teachings.
For lo, our Prophets have gone forth these twelve years to preach the gospel of the kingdom; and they have gone north, south, east, and west. The opportunity has been here and across the land. Therefore, let those who have heard the call and availed themselves of the opportunity to be present in our retreat, let them receive the fires of Truth; for these have put forth the effort. And so I have called to the legions of Truth, who march in formation carrying the banner of Truth, hoping that in their mighty step and in the cadences of Truth mankind might be caught up for a moment and torn from their cups and their pleasures. And sometimes these legions of Truth have fancied themselves as Pied Pipers of Truth playing the March of Truth, singing "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty! Holy art Thou in manifestation in man!"
And some among mankind have left their television sets, their parties and their sports and they have come apart to become a separate people5 and they have followed those who have trumpeted with the trumpets of Truth. Yes, many souls have heard the voice of Truth, the voice of old. These then are the remnant. And those of you who are in physical embodiment and in this place in time shall receive the blessing of the holy oil of gladness6 and the Light of Truth. It is poured out upon your heads now by the angels of Truth. And these angels have the mastery of the water element.
Angels of dominion, come forth and anoint these sacred ones! And let them be filled now with the Presence of Almighty Truth, to feel the original fires of their own creation, the Sacred Word that went forth proclaiming the immortal fiat of oneness in the beginning. Let them feel that Presence.
O Alpha and Omega, step up the spirals of this retreat for the purification, the intensification, of the sensitivity, the solar awareness of those abiding here! For I am determined to make Truth tangible this night, that all who taste of the cup of Truth may not thirst again, but may indeed thirst and hunger after Truth and righteousness, until all be fulfilled in their immortal victory.
O sword of Truth, descend! Cleave asunder the real from the unreal! Let each man and each woman and child know the difference between the former self that is put aside, the old man with his deeds, and the new man,7 the Christed Being that enables the outer consciousness to be born again in the Flame of living Truth, to step forward and to receive the knowledge of all things, to see his teachers face to face.8 O Lord God Almighty, let these individuals be saturated with Reality and Truth!
I, Hilarion, send forth the call! And by the authority of the two witnesses9 who have borne witness to the Truth, let the Light shine in the hearts of these devotees and let them know forevermore their immortal destiny, their divine origin! And let them march with the legions of Truth unto the eternal day of mankind's awakening and the coming of the kingdom into immortal manifestation on earth as it is in heaven.
I have come with a purpose this night, and my purpose is to quicken you. And so this purpose shall be accomplished while you sleep. And those who are qualified shall be taken by legions of Truth to the Temple of Truth this night; and there you shall commune with the Eternal Flame, the Flame of Truth, and the Flame of the Holy Spirit that is also anchored in our retreat.
So shall it be that this the people of God who have chosen to worship God in this day and age shall be made electrodes for Truth from this day forward forevermore as long as they shall keep within their hearts and minds and actions the sacred covenants of Truth.
To be ministers of Truth is your calling. To be healers of Truth may be your faith, to be demonstrators of dominion over the water element your hope, and to be the Presence of the Holy Spirit your charity in Life. So accept the opportunity and go forth, precious sons and daughters; for this is your hour, the hour unto which you have served and for which you have searched and longed for thousands upon thousands of years.
I say to you, pilgrims of Truth, do not waste this hour, do not tarry. But go forth in your mission to conquer in the Golden Age and to manifest the victory of Light. Go forth into the battle and into the fray! For the victory is yours, and my legions of Truth shall never fail to accompany those who invoke them in the battle of life.
Therefore I say, invoke the legions of Truth. And know that as you march, they march with you - ten thousand at thy right hand and ten thousand at thy left hand, and thirteen thousand before and behind. And so the thirty-three thousand march in formation around every son and daughter who determines to be a warrior of Truth in action in this world.
The hour is come that the Son of man should be betrayed.10 Let us be up and about the Father's business.
