I am the lover of your souls, though you know it not. For I am one of the Ruby Ray, a son of the Holy Spirit. And on the third ray, love is the fulfilling of the law.1
Some have said, "We have a right to a relationship with the Great White Brotherhood." As those who sense themselves losing their hold on Life cry out the more loudly for human rights, we are reminded of a king whose motto was Dieu et mon droit.2 Thus he acknowledged two sources of power: God the Almighty and "my right."
The right of the individual to be king derives from the anointing of the LORD and from the freewill initiative of the soul to exercise "my right" to rule in the footstool kingdom3 because he, in Christ, has assumed responsibility for others as for himself. The king in the service of the LORD above and below is exercising his right to be his brother's keeper. Thus have we called you, under the office of the Lord Maha Chohan, to be Keepers of the Flame of Life on behalf of every part of Life, as he who would be chief disciple among you must be the servant of all.4
This is the calling of love unto the children of God who would enter the path of discipleship on the Ruby Ray and thereby accelerate unto that Sonship conferred by the face of a Man whose face is the image of the Lord Christ. But who has the right to be servant? Only he who serves because he loves.
My beloved, even in the ranks of chelaship there are those who serve but love not. Thereby they lose the right to serve within the hallowed circle of our love. Oh yes, there are those who would and should "do good," human for human, in the outer courts of life. Outside of Eden it is better to do good than to do evil, and there are avenues of service which in themselves become the World Guru unto those who are yet learning to love.
Even as I say the words, the saying is strange to me - "learn to love." Must the creation of Love learn to love? Even the angels of the third ray must pause in their ministrations to earth, so startled are they by the absence of love because men and women have forgot to love. And in their forgetting to be kind and gentle and sweet, they have actually forgotten how to be tender and compassionate to the aching hearts who are so alone.
As love begets love, so their children and their children's children lose the habit of the rituals of love. And the caring expressions of life which convey the cups of love and the love-light of angels are fewer and farther between. And these are replaced by the mechanized love of the television and motion-picture screen or a mechanized performance of niceties exchanged in surface relationships where the inner cords of love that bind souls together in His all-consuming Presence are simply absent.
The superficial love given even to the Christ Child is so apparent in the distortions of life on earth. While he is adored as the God of very gods in all the pageants and pleasures of the season, the face of that Son of man appearing over and over again in the little child is desecrated and his presence denied by the Josephs and the Marys who are culpable because they have conspired with modern Herods to take the life of the little child as soon as it is born.5
Such is the consciousness of idolatry that can never enter in to the portals of perfect love where the Guru of Love awaits the coming of his true chelas.
There is a town called Litchfield in the United States whose custom is to award to the firstborn child of the year gifts and good cheer. But what do you think, to the dismay of the angels of love who make their rounds, the town fathers considered it inappropriate that the first child of the year to come to Litchfield should receive that prize. And why? Because that child was born out of wedlock.
Scarcely the days have passed since the celebration of the Christ Mass when the maiden, the blessed Mary, had the courage to bring forth her firstborn son under circumstances not entirely in keeping with the accepted norms of the day.6 The Wise Men honored him with gifts. Where are the wise men of Litchfield who will not honor the spark of life and the holy breath of God that breathes within the little child whose Father and Mother are God?
Reverence for life accords the right to be revered. Those who have no self-respect, because they have believed the lie that God does not live in them, will not respect another part of Life in whom the living Spirit dwells. And who can say how long ago the living Spirit vacated the temples of the town fathers of Litchfield? Every child of light becomes the judgment of this world through him who is Christ the LORD of each little one.
Angels of the love ray are bearing gifts to the little child denied by callous men. Would that the Christ in him should speak and write, with handwriting in the sand, of their own misdeeds and misdemeanors of this and previous lives. Then they too would shrink into the night of their own creating before the light of the Eternal Virgin's oneness with the Holy Spirit. Then they too might hear the word of Christ unto the beloved Magdalene, "Where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? ... Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more."7
If he came into the world not to condemn the world, but that the world through the incarnate Christ might have eternal life,8 then why, O why do those who cry out the loudest for human rights deny the divine right of being unto one another?
We celebrate the glorious thought form of the year 1980 descended by the hand of the Solar Logoi unto our Lord Sanat Kumara and unveiled by the Lord of the World, Gautama Buddha. Indeed the figure eight is become the object of our adoring - the sphere of the Cosmic Virgin and the sphere of the Cosmic Manchild. This royal reintegration of Life with Life excludes no one but includes all - all, that is, who have not forgot the flame of love.
The Manchild in the lower sphere is the symbol of the God-identity of every man, woman, and child worlds without end. Those who love not the Mother cannot enter in to the womb of her cosmos. They cannot be received of her to receive the initiation of the Manchild, nor can they interact with her in the glorious ritual of the resurrection which our Lord Sanat Kumara has delivered to you in his magnificent message, "Drink Me While I AM Drinking Thee."
Do you know why, my beloved, the subject of the virgin and child has enamored artists for thousands of years in every culture even before the birth of Jesus Christ? It is because the oneness of mother and child best illustrates the most fundamental desire of the soul for that sublime union with God. And on earth there is no other relationship that so fulfills the need to reenact the figure-eight flow that is the foundation of every particle of the Matter and Spirit creations. Drink me while I AM drinking thee.
As the blessed child drinks in the nourishment of life from the body of the Mother, so the Mother drinks in the light of the Manchild that nourishes her soul with the light of the heavenly Father incarnate in the blessed Son. The Mother is the eternal servant of the Father. She is the lifegiver unto the whole of creation and every creature. Therefore she is the most beloved, the archetype of the original chela.
The Mother who is the all-love of the cosmos, excelling and excelling in all life as her heartbeat becomes the heartbeat of her offspring, is the dearly beloved of the Father. As Christ is the head of the Church and the Saviour of the body of `baptized' believers, even so the husband endued with the LORD's Spirit is unto the wife the ordained representative of the Father.9
Now Adam (archetype of Father whose Selfhood includes that of Mother) became the first chela of Maitreya and as such he was the LORD'srepresentative unto Eve. She then became the second chela in the order of the Edenic hierarchy and was subject unto him - and should have remained so - as unto the Guru. So it is the divine plan for twin flames who bear the relationship of Alpha and Omega one to the other.
By and by in the cosmic evolution of twin flames, the Lord of the household transfers to the beloved wife the full mantle of the Guru. And lo, in the Matter spheres it is Mother and the Mother flame who becomes the Guru unto all of their children. And she the servant of her Maker who is her Husband10 now becomes the Lord of his vineyard.11
So it is with the ascended master Ramakrishna whose spouse and beloved twin flame, Sarada Devi, remains unascended in the community of lightbearers, wearing his mantle - she the anchor of his love, he the lifeline of her anchor.
Thus the Maha Kali of the East, the great brooding Mother of all worlds, becomes the highest object of the devotion of Gurus and chelas alike. For she and she alone holds in her heart a crystal point of light that is the image of Ishwara. Ishwara, the LORD of all worlds above and below. He whose image is the face of the Son of man takes up his abode in the heart of Mother. By this, by this she alone is Guru.
I speak to you of love, love that is the foundation of the Guru/chela relationship. I speak to you of the love of the Father for the Mother and of the Mother for the Father - each one the servant of the other, each one the Lord of his domain. As the Father reigns in Spirit and the Mother reigns in Matter, so in the divine embrace both are the center and the circumference of worlds aborning and worlds dying.
Now, my beloved, who do you suppose has the right to enter into the divine embrace with Father and Mother? Is it not the little child who has entered into the fiery ovoid of the Manchild? The little child who follows after the Mother in imitation of her service and her love, holding her garments, going wherever she goes - this is the little child who is caught up into the arms of the Father and to his throne.12 This little child may claim his inheritance, for he has lawfully walked the path of service in the footsteps of his Father and his Mother and their mutual adoring in the service of one another.
This little child is in love with his Father and his Mother. This adoring one is become the chela of the Divine Lovers. In him, therefore, reside the cloven tongues of fire.13 And when the Father and the Mother withdraw to other octaves of the Spirit/Matter universes in their ongoing service to Life, it is the little child, the chief disciple, who now wears the mantle of the Guru in the earth. And the face of this Son of their manifestation reflects the Father/Mother and their individed Holy Spirit.
There are some who have related themselves to the ascended masters of the Great White Brotherhood by outer signs and symbols. They have not been called, but they have chosen to enter in. They say, "My right is to choose to be or not to be in the service of the Light." But the Light responds, "You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you."14 The creation, after all, does not sit in the judgment seat that is reserved for the God of all.
They say, "We will come and see whether or not the LORD's Spirit is truly present midst this people and this messenger." But they themselves have never witnessed to that Spirit which comes only to those who have the love tie to the Father/Mother person. After all, would you go to the wilds of Kenya to hunt an animal you had never seen? Undoubtedly, you would return with the official report, "No such animal exists," though you had been surrounded by a herd of them.
Why do I speak to you of love, my beloved? It is because so many have been toiling to enter in. They come, they go. They bask in the light. They store the light. They go out on the high seas of life, the proud captains of their ships. But when their batteries run low and they are high and dry on some desert isle of their fantasy, they suddenly return. They knock upon the door expecting to be received as before - expecting to have access to all the light and love of Father and Mother. But they have loved neither light, nor love, nor person of the Great Guru in his first and foremost chela, the beloved bride who wears the mantle of her Bridegroom.
And all at once they cry out, "My right, my right!" And in the night their voice is heard receding with the receding wave, while vestal virgins keep the flame of the Maha Chohan with the perpetual word, "My God, my God!"
Let those who would enter the circle of love be the lovers of God - in love with him, longing for him, desiring him. Let them become the lovers of his Mother, the Universal Mother of Worlds whose radiant face emits the light of His Son, Her Son. Let the lovers of the Mother care for her children - feed them and clothe them, tend them when they are sick, bring them gifts, and honor their presence in life. Let the lovers of the Mother go to the many crosses upon the hill and receive her sons and daughters into their arms as they take them down from the very nexus where they have left them long ago. So let them bear their burden in the hour of their crucifixion and they will bear the burden of their light in the hour of their resurrection.
Such is the ministration of the servants of love. Such is the wisdom of the wise virgins,15 the souls of men and women who are the real and living chelas of the Guru Ma.
I AM choosing my chelas of the third ray to enter in with me into the bridal chamber - my retreat, the Château de Liberté in Southern France. Here by the disciplines of love we will study the art of freedom and once again present the image of Mother Liberty to a world who must come to know her sons and daughters in the face of the Son of man.
