And what of Michael, Prince of the Archangels, known as the Defender of the Faith? Micha-el! The name rings across the heavens like the resounding of the Liberty Bell. And the soul caught in the briars and brambles of astral configurations hears the cry of deliverance. Hail, Michael! Archangel of the Lord, radiantly arrayed in blue-white lightning and the yellow diamonds of illumined action that crown this son of light with victory.
The dawn cometh. And over the hills there can be seen in the early light the silhouettes of the hosts of the Lord. Legions of Archangel Michael, their shields reflecting a cross of white fire, their swords of living flame drawn in tribute to the Mother. Swords formed of the sacred Word which they intone, fired out of the vowels of their love for the living God. They are joined by the twelve legions of angels who gather at the command of the Faithful and True,1 who also wield the sword of Christ, focus of faith, hope, and charity.
Chelas on the treadmill of life, yoked to the oxen of a mechanized Taurus substance by the lines of your own karma, look up! The deliverers of mankind are at hand. And Michael, Prince of the Archangels, leads the Archangels and their legions in defense of the Christ consciousness. For God has ordained the evolution of the light through an infant humanity as that humanity reaches up to be the full expression of the seven rays of Christed awareness.
Chelas of the sacred fire, in this hour of compelling victory when victory's light surges from within and demands an outlet for the flow of love, I say respond to the call from within. Respond to the mandate of the inner law of your being to be the fullness of the Christ - God-victorious, love enthroned - crowning king and queen, while Father-Mother God ensconced in living flame cradle the Christ Child of their heart's oneness. And the fusion of that fire is for the mastery of the Christ consciousness in one of the seven rays.
This day, I say, choose the path of your appointing and of your anointing. Apply to the inner law of your being and affirm God-reality as the cloven tongues of the Holy Spirit converge within you for the march to the summit of life's victory.
You have heard of the Chohans of the Rays. Now I say, invoke the momentum of the Seven Archangels to amplify in your soul and in your desiring to be whole the feelings of God which compel the entire consciousness into conformity with the geometry of selfhood. The Seven Archangels wield the power, the wisdom, and the love of Infinity - of a cosmos yet to be born within you as microcosmic-macrocosmic energies converge to become the warp and woof of the creative life force.
Now expand the cup of consciousness to contain the Archangel of your ray. If you serve the will of God, then, on the blue ray, the first ray of the morning light, you define the azure of His Holiness. The one who stands before the altar of the Lord, the Adoring and the Adored, releases into the consciousness of the Archangel of the First Ray in sacred ritual a sphere of the will of God, a disc of flaming blue, a core of sapphire yod. Into his heart the great Archangel absorbs an atom of energy, a globule of light. And rising from the altar of the Lord, he goes forth into the cosmos to release the cycles of God's faith - the will to be, the courage to live victoriously, the honor of the law, of life itself, and the energy to sustain a cosmic pulse.
In this blue fire flowing, received into the chalice of the Mother, is the blueprint of every form of life, the divine direction for fulfillment, the network of a cosmos and the egg and the I. And all the Archangels and the seraphim and cherubim bow before the radiant wonder of the world - Archangel Michael, standing in the center of the sun, now become a sunlit sphere of blue, haloed with white-yellow brilliance as the diamond-shining mind of God exalts the warrior tried and true.
Chelas who would become aflame with faith, devotees of the will of God who would become more of self as the selfhood of his will, look up and behold the Captain of the Lord's Hosts - the great exemplar of your faith and your ray. And now, by invocation to your own I AM God Presence, submit by free-will edict of your soul all doubt and fear and every hesitation, all resistance to action that formulates the human question, and factors of disobedience to the word of the Logos. Submit them all to the conqueror. He, by the magnet of his love, takes into his heart fires, in response to the fiats of the chelas, all substance of negativity and the void of relativity.
As these energies cycle through the blue diamond on his heart's altar, the flaming sphere of blue is returned to you and you and you. This Archangel Michael has done as a mighty work of the Lord for peoples and nations and continents and worlds. Carrying the banner of the Cosmic Virgin, he stands; and he has stood down through the ages to defend the children of the Mother against the dragon Tiamat and her seed.
Now then, heed our call and heed his sacrifice. For this holy one of God stands before you. And as you read, each chela of the sacred fire receives the visitation of the Electronic Presence of Michael the Archangel.
Won't you receive him in grace, in honor, and in thanksgiving? Won't you bid him enter the citadel of your being and offer unto him a cup of light, a cup of goodwill? While your Christ Self offers unto him the gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh, let your soul not tarry in the shadows; but let it come forth and present also upon the altar of his flaming selfhood all hopelessness, faithlessness, acts of wanton selfishness, and every careless deed.
Allow the flaming one to assume the substance of your sin. Allow him to exchange it for the energies of his will to win. He will take unto himself that substance misqualified and transmute it into light, shining light - brilliant victory faceted in the mind of God.
And so you lay the coals of a dying world of selfhood upon the altar of the Archangel, and you watch as before your very eyes they are transformed into the diamond of your crystallized Christ-identity. This is the alchemy of the first ray. This is the movement of a mighty ocean that is the power of the will of God to suddenly be still ... and become the drop of individuality.
I shall return to pursue our course of meditation in the mantle of the Seven Archangels who even now are knocking at the door of consciousness.
