In the stillness of the flame of Shamballa I come. I come with my light, like the fabled wand of old. I come with a rod of energy - God's energy that bursts as a star. And I stand, the Lord of the World, directing the light of the Ancient of Days1 to all of the children of my heart whose flames beat one with my own. I come from Shamballa, centered in the Royal Teton, yet I AM everywhere in space and I dwell in the heart of time.
Lo, I AM the Buddha and I AM the fulfillment of your heart's longing for joy. This is indeed the hour of joy, the very bursting of light in each heart, the impetus for the new year that in actuality does start with winter solstice and the lighting of the taper in the heart of the Great Central Sun as Alpha bows to Omega and extends to her the gift of the flame.
And then Omega steps down from her throne and passes the flame to the legions of seraphim who compose the honor guard of the Divine Mother. And the first of the mighty seraphim, the Captain of the Lord's Hosts, Justinius, does take that taper from Omega to light the second in command. And one by one the tapers are lit until, across the vastness of spacelessness and timelessness, the mighty seraphim wend their way unto the worlds within and the worlds without.
Curious as it might seem given your understanding of the speed of light, the ritual of the fulfillment of the passing of the taper of the new year does not occur on Terra until the hour of the year's turning. And so the grand ritual of the hours from the Great Central Sun through millions of galaxies manifests on earth in the moment of the appearance of the mighty thoughtform that descends from the heart of God to the heart of Sanat Kumara, thence into my own heart as the adoration to the Cosmic Virgin is sent forth from this planetary orb.
As we receive the impartation of the taper, we return that fire and that love back to Omega, and this is the grand ritual of millions and millions of hosts of light, Buddhas, and consciousnesses one with the Elohim. And therefore, when that focal point of light does reach our heart and we send it back, there is the weaving of the cosmic daisy.
And for each and every one who receives the taper of the Mother in the Central Sun, there is the return current that forms another petal of this cosmic daisy. And the yellow center is indeed the Great Central Sun Magnet, and all of these petals in all dimensions going forth are the action of the flow of the love of the hosts of light for Alpha and Omega and the love that is returned. And this weaving - this weaving of this grand design is for the action, the interaction, and the integration of life flow - as Above, so below.
Do you know, you have spoken of Spirit and of Mater. I desire to tell you something this night concerning the energy of God. It is that as that energy pulsates from Alpha to Omega and to the worlds within and the worlds without, microsecond by microsecond that energy is becoming Matter, becoming Spirit, becoming Matter. You cannot even calculate the fragments of time. They are so infinite, as it were, in their smallness as almost to be not increments at all, but the mighty cosmic flow.
But I desire that you should know that you may elevate and accelerate your consciousness and your vision that the planes of the consciousness of God are not simply two large bands across a cosmos, one of Spirit and one of Matter, but instead there is an infinitude of the bouncing of energy from Spirit to Matter until the entire cosmos is simply one pulsating sphere of God. Suspended in that sphere am I, suspended in that sphere are you. And in that suspension we find that soul, that becoming, that Elohim.
Do you really know when you are on earth and when you are in heaven? Do you really know when you are Spirit or Matter? Moment by moment the pulsation of energy from the heart to the farthest periphery is a focalization of intensity. But then all is stillness as the worlds seem to be still, as energy seems to be motionless, and even you seem to be in the stillness of your flame of meditation. In this stillness is a vast movement, a vast cycling of the energy that is God.
Now that I have taught you a lesson, a first lesson in the all-chemistry of God, can you not then take my hand and come with me and skip in and out of planes of consciousness? Come with me in your finer body this night, in your soul. Come to the Royal Teton Retreat and come to Shamballa, the goal. Can you not see how easy it is to lay aside one vehicle for another, or to accelerate this vehicle to the point of an etheric consciousness? God will withhold nothing from you.
Enter, then, the sphere of harmony in this beginning of the new year. And may I say to you, to one, to all, "Happy New Year!" ["Happy New Year!"] Indeed it will be a happy one. The very electrons and atoms and molecules will make merry, for it is the spinning of the wheel, the spinning of the wheel of life, of truth, of the sacred AUM, and the chanting of the AUM. AUM AUM AUM. Om mani padme hum. [chanted]
I dip into the lotus of your heart, there to touch the jewel in the heart of the lotus with a quickening fire, with the energy that comes by dispensation from the Great Central Sun. And so it comes, and I and the Mother are one. I stand in this place. Can you see me standing and can you see the Mother sitting in meditation before me? Can you not see the interaction?
I stand wearing the crown of the Lord of the World in golden robe and white. I bring to you the gentle joy, the tender joy of our oneness and our love. Can you not see, then, O children of the One, that with a hop and a skip and a jump, you too can be in the very heart of Buddha? You can be me and I can be you right where you are. Look! A thousand Buddhas all at once. Right where you are sitting, I AM. I can fill all space with the Buddha, but I would rather reserve place for the Mother and her children to fill all space with the consciousness of the One.
Would you soar to dizzying heights where the light of God that does not fail is indeed on the clipper ship that sail - that sail that moves in the vast beyond across the ocean of God's being, carrying souls to the shore of the homeland? And do you know, when you arrive at that blessed shore, you find that there are many aspects of life, of nature, angels, and elementals that you have seen before? And when you see them in that plane, you realize that within your soul, through all the journeyings in time and space, you knew those angels, you knew those elementals. Why, they are all familiar faces!
They were with you when you were children, playing in the springtime and in the brooks that flowed in the forests and in the birds that sang and the lilacs that bloomed and the tulips and the forsythia. They were there. And suddenly in that crystallization, in that moment when you have finally entered the flow of the vast cycles of a cosmos, you will realize that you have never gone out from the Presence of God, never departed. Only the long night of the soul, the darkness of separation, that sense of separation has been the only separation that ever was. For in reality the God that is the All-in-all has always been to you the I AM THAT I AM.
Is life not precious? And are not all of these things, all of these things that occupy this world even as a cycle that moves into a sun center that will also be one day swallowed up in the flaming fires of your heart? Can you not then start the new year seeing that flowing, moving River of Life2 like the movement of liquid lava or liquid fire - moving, moving, and carrying the dross, carrying the substance of the past into the flame? Can you not see that movement almost as a conveyor belt carrying all these deeds of the past - the thoughts, the feelings, the actions, the words - into the flame?
It is simply a question of attunement with the movement of cycles. These cycles are in your midst. You may cast all of your energy into the moving River of Life and see how the great miracle of the Holy Spirit, the all-consuming one, does indeed transform the allness of the self, the smallness of the self, and the greatness of the self. And if you take courage, you yourself can jump into this River of Life and find yourself in the bliss of nirvana, in the bliss of the beautiful union.
Oh, the beautiful union! For the beautiful one has come. It is the coming of Maitreya. It is the coming, the coming of the Compassionate One, the coming of the one who is my son. Maitreya, to you, my son, I pass the taper of the year. Take it, then, and run. Run, run among the sons and daughters and touch them on the heart. And if need be, touch them on the head and awaken them as they sleep when they ought not to sleep and when they are awake when they ought to be asleep. Remind them of the ritual of the day and the consecration of the flow. O Maitreya, my son, let life be unto them that reunion, that oneness that we know.
O Maitreya, go forth! Go forth, Maitreya, to claim this earth for Mother. Claim the earth for the children of the sun. See them, how they come, the shining ones of Camelot. They have come to renew an ancient vow; before the flame and the light here they bow. They come to dance the dance of the hours, to dance the dance of the heart. So let them be free, O Maitreya. Teach them the way of the World Teachers. Teach them what to say and how to weave the garment. Teach them what to teach and how to speak the language of the Spirit.
O Maitreya, tutor these souls of my heart. They are ready. They are ready for the first step of initiation. Willingly they have come. They have borne those energies of Camelot. And because they have borne them, we take them into our heart for the transmutation, for the alchemy, for the molding of the flame, for the working of that flame that we might send it forth now as the sacred fire that will pulsate in the cube, that cosmic cube in the center of the City Foursquare.3
See how the mighty cross of life and the sword Excalibur, the focal point of each initiation, will be in Camelot, will be in Los Angeles the drawing light. See how the sword Excalibur glistens in the light of stars. See how the twinkling and the winking of the stars does shine as a beckon to souls who know and as a beacon to souls who do not know. Let them come. Our heart is open.
Maitreya, be myself in the very heart of this citadel of light! Be myself, Maitreya! Carry that flame of the Ancient of Days, O Maitreya!
