To You Who Would Pursue the Spirals of Life, Not Death:
As you trace with your fingers the unfolding petals of the rose, you contact a spiral of life, a geometrization of the God flame based on the inner law of the blueprint of life. Hold in your hand an abalone shell or a chambered nautilus. follow the golden ratio of the movement of life and know that in the geometric designs of creation God is, and where God is there I AM. Behold, the I AM THAT I AM is within you as law, as geometry, as the science of being.
Just beyond the veil of Matter and materialization is the matrix of Infinity that controls all movement and symmetry in the finite realms of time and space. Just beyond the veils of Mater, which are the Mother's realization of Spirit's essence, there is the crystal-fire mist, there is the essence of being - immortally brilliant, the Forever Now that lends the quality of permanence to the transient manifestation.
The rolling of cycles in Matter is like the shifting sands moving in the winds across the desert. Indeed, the rolling of the waves of cosmic energy is the eternal movement of God - the same energy, the same rhythm, that controls the tides of the sea, the rotation of the planets, and their evolution on elliptical paths as they make their way round and round the sun-fire sphere, that dot of cosmic consciousness that holds the reins of forces and forcefields in this system of worlds.
Energy is God.
How gloriously we find him in all life!
Organized, systematized,
Random yet rhythmic motion.
Energy is God
Confined yet not confined to Mater.
Energy is God
Bound to Mater in the fiery nucleus of life,
Yet free to bound from atom to atom -
Free in the flow of the Holy Spirit,
Hallowing space,
Crowning time with the majesty of the Mother.
Each moment in time a cup of her consciousness,
Each cup filled with the Spirit
The fulfillment of her love.
Her habitation is the allness of space.
Her penetration of the allness
Is the vapor of etheric consciousness,
Penetrating as the incense of the Magi,
The fragrance of violets and lilies of the valley,
And the distillations of the will of God.
The Cosmic Mother moves
In the currents of God's energy.
Through her blessed hands
Flows the abundance of God's grace.
She is healing, she is joy!
She is the climax of creation.
She is the sun, the moon, and the stars!
She is the light reflected in light.
Crystalline fragments of her sunlit hope
Illumine the dark night of the soul
With the laughter of a little child -
Sparkling, dancing eyes and the perfume
Of a baby's skin and angel hair,
Petaled cheeks and dark brown eyes
That span the centuries of the Ancient of Days,
Orbs opening unto the soul's cycling in infinity.
When I take the lectern of University Hall in the Retreat of the Royal Teton and I speak to the chelas of Morya who have come to hear the word of Maitreya, "On Initiation," I speak in the poetry of nature. I speak in the movement of the wind. I speak of life forms that are common to earth's evolutions, for in these very forms is the key to the formless and to the inner geometry of the white-fire core where initiation begins.
Let us begin, then, by calling the chelas of Morya for a special course in the fires of initiation - a five-week seminar on the hows, the whys, and the wherefores of your initiation in the sacred fire. Some of you know me as the Great Initiator, and you have already called to me most lovingly to be initiated on the path of attainment. But when I have come, you have not recognized me. In vain I have stood before you to initiate you in the law of energy flow. Therefore, in this release to the chelas in physical embodiment, I shall provide guidelines of identification so that you will know me on the streets and in the marketplaces, in your homes - where you study and where you work and where you play.
Jesus the Lord Christ was also an initiator of spirals who received from me the tightly wound coils of energy - these coils of initiation - and transferred them in the alchemy of the sacred fire to the planes of Matter to demonstrate the law of the crystallization of the God flame. The master of the Piscean dispensation also suffered for want of recognition of his flame. They did not know him in the garden. They know him not today. In his words take you then, I pray, this instruction of the Cosmic Christ on the identification of the Teacher in the way:
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.1
While you are waiting for the Second Coming of the Christ or for the Teacher from the East, make haste to receive the stranger at the gate, the children playing in the courtyard, and the tender lifestreams who are a part of your family and the family of god. How often you cast them aside or take them for granted - these precious ones who come in the name of the Lord, who come in the name of the law of your own karma! Receive them, one by one, in the Spirit of the Christ Mass; receive them in the name of Jesus the Christ and thereby have the reward of the Christed ones.2
The first initiation on the path of attainment is to learn to deal with energy. Inasmuch as energy is God, learning to deal with energy is learning to deal with God - God as Spirit, God as Matter, God in manifestation in man, in woman, in child. god within yourself as the flow of energy from the centers of God-awareness, God as the flow of energy between yourself and other selves - from heart to heart, from soul to soul, from mind to mind. and what of these emotions that flow, God's energy in motion between lifestreams - the one and the many and the masses waiting for the kindling fires of the Spirit? God's energy in motion is the water and the wind and the fire and the earth; for all energy moves as the great fiery sea of God's being, of Life becoming life.
Therefore, learn to deal with energy. Learn to give and to receive in harmony. Learn to receive the gruffness and the blunder of the untutored ones and to transmute that overlay by the fires of freedom's ray. Learn to be a buffer for the tender ones charged into your keeping, to absorb the shocks of sacrilege and of the world's ignorance of the flame.
As you walk the road of life between earth and heaven, be a sifter of the sands of energy - sifting, sifting by the action of the heart; sifting, sifting by the action of the mind. Be a purifier of the strands of darkness, purifying them white on white. Be a refiner of the energies of the world. Carefully, carefully refine that density. Make it light! This, then, will be the testing of the souls who accept my invitation to come to the Royal Teton for the festivities of the Christmas celebration, who will withdraw from the indulgences of paganism and idle worship of the idol of the self and the self-adornment of the graven images of other selves.
You who can disentangle yourselves from the hustle and the bustle of the crowd which uses the energies of the Christ Mass to adorn the outer man instead of the inner man, you who are prepared to renounce all to follow the evening star to our retreat, where the Christ Child is born in the crèche of the heart wrapped in the swaddling garments of the Mother of the World: Won't you consecrate this season - when the fires of solstice bear witness unto the bursting-forth of the Christ consciousness in the hearts of a planet and a people - to an exercise in Christ-discrimination and to the application of our word on initiation to the everyday confrontations with the life that is God, with the God that is energy, and with the energy that is love personified in your Holy Family manifestation.
I AM in the true Spirit of Christmas,
