Sealed in an ovoid of light, the energies of the seat-of-the-soul chakra rise to the level of the third eye for the fulfillment of the promise of the City Foursquare. Now let the ascending triangle of the seventh ray merge with the descending triangle of the fifth ray for the alchemy of the violet flame and the precipitation of the green flame that produce the mastery of the air element in the plane of the mind.
To see is to be, and to be is to see. When you raise up the energies of the soul and of your solar awareness to the plane of the all-seeing eye and when you have the balance of love and wisdom converging at the point of reality, you become an alchemist of the Spirit in the planes of Matter. You who are the handiwork of God, by a little self-discipline, by a little self-sacrifice, can come into the inheritance of the children of Israel and behold in the tabernacle of being the coming of the City Foursquare.
In the all-seeing eye of God the Great Silent Watcher holds the immaculate concept of the inheritance of the sons and daughters of God. And the petals in the third eye are forty-eight for the outward thrust of Alpha and forty-eight for the inward thrust of Omega. In the vision of the Christ is the protection of the hereditary traits carried in the seed and the egg of man and woman. Indeed it is in the vision of the Christ that the attributes which the Lord God impressed upon the image and likeness of himself in male and female are held.
Each of the petals of the third-eye chakra1 focuses the guardian action of the law and the blueprint of life that is focused in the chromosomes and genes. Moreover, the forty-eight pairs of petals are for the anchoring of the twelve aspects of God's consciousness in each of the four lower bodies as they represent the four sides of the pyramid of life.2
Every soul that would be free must accept the challenge to be the fullness of the law of life and the balance of the threefold flame in manifestation in each of the four lower bodies. And so you see, when the twelve godly attributes have been magnetized in the heart chakra, they can be squared through the vision of the all-seeing eye of God in the third-eye chakra. And when the threefold flame and the twelve virtues are balanced in the four lower bodies, there is the converging of energy spirals in the third eye as the capstone is placed on the pyramid of life in the coming of the Christ consciousness.
The great Master Jesus gave the key to the control of the auric light in his teaching on the all-seeing eye.3 He said, "The light of the body is the eye." And he explained to the disciples that the light of the aura is focused in the eye - the inner eye of the soul that perceives life with the spherical vision of the mind of God.
While the eyes of mankind observe the passing scenes, the scenarios of life experienced in time and space, the eye of the soul is continually interpolating patterns of causation, angles of perfection, the very building blocks of the creation that underlie all experience in the planes of Mater. Thus while the outer man takes life at its face value, the soul is evaluating the flow of energy, of karma, and of the cycles of life from the standpoint of inner reality.
The training given to the Virgin Mary as she prepared the temple for the coming of the Christed One for a mission in the womb of time and space was in the exercise of the faculty of God-vision through the power of concentration. Concentration is the focusing of the energies of the heart in the third-eye chakra as a concentrated beam of emerald hue that penetrates atomic particles, molecules of being, and cells of consciousness, drawing them into alignment with the original blueprint of the creation.
Constancy is another attribute of the overcomers that Mary learned to apply. For constancy is the ritual of applying the fifth ray to the tasks at hand in order that every deed that is done, every service that is rendered, be fulfilled according to the lines of force, the molecules of identity that govern the manifestations of Christed man and Christed woman.
Through concentration, then, as a concentrated flow of light through the forty-eight pairs of petals in the third-eye chakra, mankind may master the planes of Mater in the God-controlled release of energy from the planes of Spirit.
"If therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light." The single-eyed vision of which Jesus spoke is the converging of the six-pointed star of Christed awareness in the third eye.
When this is accomplished, man and woman are perpetually aware of reality; and through that awareness, life in the four octaves of selfhood is ever consecrated to the Holy Spirit. And the flow of energy through the grids and forcefields of the twelve godly attributes makes the whole body in the planes of God's consciousness - in fire, air, water, and earth - "full of light."
In order to be perfection, man must see perfection. The goal of those who are on the ascending spiral of being is the perfection of the original Monad, the I AM Presence. To accept perfection not only as the goal of life but as the law of life is to enter the path of initiation - i-niche-i-action.4 Initiation begins when that which affirms I AM, that which has an awareness of selfhood, secures itself in the niche of the all-seeing eye of God for the purpose of establishing right action on earth as it is in heaven.
All who would understand the miracle of the expanding circles of awareness manifest in and as the aura must come to the realization that the image and likeness of God, the pattern of the Christ out of which male and female were created,5 is held in the third eye of each one as the potential that every living soul is destined to fulfill.
The majority of mankind fail to make contact with that potential, which is the image of the Real Self. Lifetime after lifetime, the image remains latent, the soul is not quickened, the consciousness is unmoved, and mankind go their separatist ways according to their perceptions of duality and the two-eyed vision of the outer consciousness that always perceives life as linear, as relative.
Through the sedimentation of the centuries, layer upon layer of effluvia cover over the glorious vision of the all-seeing eye of God manifest in man. And even when energies flow through the third-eye chakra, because of the energy veil that covers over this orifice of reality, mankind wrongly exercise the faculty of God-seeing.
Thus Jesus warned, "But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness"; that is, if the third eye be contaminated with the energy veil, then the four lower bodies will be filled with that darkness which manifests as the result of the misqualification, or the misuse, of the energies of the third eye.
And so the Master expounded on the consequences of the evil eye: "If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!" He explained to his disciples: If the light which the Lord thy God giveth thee be qualified as darkness, how great is the momentum of that darkness to perpetuate life in terror and in trauma.
Finally the Master gave the formula for living in the wholeness of the City Foursquare: "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon." His inner teaching to the disciples was that no one can simultaneously hold the vision of perfection and imperfection: no one can gaze at once upon the image of Christ and the image of Satan.
This division of the consciousness between the way of God and the ways of the world is calculated ultimately to destroy the soul and its opportunity for Godward evolution. Therefore you see that the temptation to eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil6 is the first step in the plot of the fallen ones, whose modus operandi is always divide and conquer.
To divide the body of God upon earth, to split the consciousness of the individual, to sunder being - driving wedges between the four lower bodies and the soul, causing schism within and without, and ultimately the destruction of both the human and the divine personality through a loss of contact with the material as well as the spiritual environments - this is the intent of the fallen ones bent on the destruction, one by one, of each individual framework of identity.
It is not possible for mankind to serve the carnal mind and the Christed One simultaneously. Therefore the challenge is given to the stalwart and the true to purify the center that has been established for the anchoring of the vision of God and of the perfect pattern of being and to let the energies that have been trained to focus on duality be raised to the plane of oneness. As the Psalmist said: "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord [the impersonal-personal law], which made heaven and earth."7
Let vision flow from the upper reaches of consciousness! Let vision flow back to God and be tethered to the blueprint out of which all things were made!
And know, O disciples of the law, that he that keepeth the house of reality is ever beholding perfection within you, through you, as the consciousness of the all-seeing eye. Indeed, the Lord, the Christed One of yourself, is thy keeper8 - keeping the way of the Tree of Life, keeping the flow of energy, keeping the flame within the hidden chamber of the heart.
Thus that Christed One within you is the all-seeing, all-knowing, all-loving One who preserves thee from all aspects of the energy veil that would becloud the mind and the consciousness. The Christ consciousness is the preserver of thy soul.
And thus the Lord shall preserve the going-out of the energies of divine vision from the third-eye chakra - of that constancy which manifests as concentration upon and consecration to the immaculate concept of all life. The Christ Self shall preserve the coming-in into the temple of the soul of the energies of the Mother and the Holy Spirit for the balanced manifestation of the City Foursquare "from this time forth and even for evermore."
Therefore, let all flesh, all carnality, and all carnal-mindedness be silent before the Lord; for his energies are raised up out of the holy habitation of the Divine Mother (the base-of-the-spine chakra) and of the soul (the seat-of-the-soul chakra) unto the vision of the all-seeing eye (the third-eye chakra).
O chelas of the sacred fire, behold, as the prophet Zechariah saw through the all-seeing eye, the vision of Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.9 Thus it is in the arena of action, in the flow of time and space, that the carnal mind, the dragon of self-indulgence, comes forth to challenge the soul as it prepares to merge with the image of the Real Self, the Only Begotten of God. But the Lord, as the law of being, rebukes the energies misqualified in the self-centeredness of the ego. And although the soul, as Joshua, may be clothed with the filthy garments, representing its former involvement with the world, the Lord speaks the fiat of the cleansing unto the fiery angels who stand before him, saying, "Take away the filthy garments from him."
And unto the soul the declaration of the law of forgiveness in the changing of garments is given: "Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment." And so in answer to the command of the Lord, they set a fair mitre upon his head and clothed him with garments as the angel of the Lord stood by.
And now comes the covenant of the Lord of hosts made unto every soul who will slay the dragon of the not-self, the false identity that has claimed the kingdom of the seat-of-the-soul chakra and perverted there the image of the True Self held in the all-seeing eye of God:
"If thou wilt walk in my ways and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by. Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH." This is the promise to every soul who will overcome idolatry in the seat of the soul and who will return to one God and one Christ perceived as the law of immaculate selfhood.
"For behold the stone that I have laid before [the soul of] Joshua; upon one stone [the rock of Christ] shall be seven eyes." This is the Lord's promise of the transformation of the soul consciousness into the Christ consciousness through the raising-up of the energies from the level of the seat-of-the-soul chakra to the level of the third eye.
Therefore Christ - the Promised One, the Messiah - shall come into thy being, into the citadel of thy consciousness. And the seven eyes indicate the mastery of the seven rays of the Christ consciousness in the seven chakras that comes about through the mastery of the single-eyed vision of the Lord.
"Behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day." And so in one cycle as the fulfillment of the round of the expression of God's consciousness through the seven rays shall the transmutation of the sin of the Israelites be accomplished.
And in that day, when the souls of the true Israelites accept the covenant of their Maker, then shall they call every man neighbor in the confraternity of souls who recognize the flame of life as held in common by all. In that day shall the members of the body of God in the house of Israel be found under the vine of the Christ and under the direction of the individual Christ Self. And they shall make supplication unto the Lord of being under the fig tree - the I AM THAT I AM - the great Presence of the Monad of Life revealed as the one true God.
Then shall Joshua the high priest - the soul that has been vindicated in the sacred fires of the Holy Spirit - be made the true head of the Church as he takes dominion in the New Jerusalem through the single-eyed vision of the Christ. And Zerubbabel, representing the state, the energies of Mater conquered in the soul and converging in the third eye as the City Foursquare, fulfills the balance of the foundations of the law as the head of the state. Now God-government reigns throughout the world of the individual and the nations because mankind have conquered the enemy within and without "not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit [the I AM Presence], saith the Lord of hosts."10
Thus in the mastery of the air element through the seat-of-the-soul chakra and the third eye, heart and head, church and state, Spirit and Matter, are one in the harmony of the six-pointed star.
And the two anointed ones stand by the Lord of the whole earth with those seven which are the eyes of the Lord - the seven chakras that are the windows of the soul - while the seven Elohim, the seven Spirits of God, anchor in mankind and in the planetary body the energies of the seven rays "which run [flow] to and fro through the whole earth."11 The olive trees are the messengers of the Lord who in every age proclaim the balance of Alpha and Omega in church and in state and in the life of God lived triumphantly here and now.
I am for the balanced manifestation of the light within an expanding auric forcefield destined to be of planetary dimension.
