By the leave of our Lanello, your father and mine, I come to speak to you of the path of my own Christhood and the road to sainthood which, though you may know it not, you yourselves are on.
There is always the need for the saints on earth to increase Light - to be present with Mother Mary and Jesus, our blessed LORD. There is the need for some to be so filled with Light that its very pressure would almost become a burden upon the heart. But instead of a burden, it is a bird that takes flight - when you impart love as the essence of your own crucifixion.
Before my final embodiment as Thérèse,1 I had served the blessed Saviour and the most holy Mother. They sent me again for this very purpose: to demonstrate in the very midst of youth how the burning desire to serve may be kindled in a mere child - how the child might experience the direct contact of healing from the LORD and therefore prove that each one's life is spared by the very act of God on a daily basis.
I was delighted to go forth and be an example to children and to those who must pass through the years of maturation, that they might realize, through the coming centuries of such darkness upon earth, that it is indeed possible to escape from the descent into the byways of sensuality - that it is indeed possible to serve, to bear upon oneself the karma of the world and one's family and friends, to have a direct day-by-day contact with the angelic hosts - and to know miracles, not as a common thing but as a common gift unto all who love Him supremely.
Now, I am grateful for this opportunity to update my example and to assure you that you need not look upon me as one whose devotion could only lead to a transition from this plane - one whose devotion, then, is not for you, inasmuch as its very intensity transported me out of this octave.
I would tell you, beloved hearts, that the hour and the day of my ascension had long been planned, and this final incarnation was my own desire to lay the perfect crown at the feet of my LORD - to give to him something more, and thus to leave a record. Even the one who urged me to write and to write down my own experiences2 was directed by the Blessed Mother. Otherwise, you see, had I not written the story of my search and my life, my example would only remain impressed upon the etheric bodies of the saints, waiting for the soul's inner contact. But, you see, every soul needs the outer contact. And I am so very happy that through my own journal those in embodiment may share my thoughts and my experiences with God.
Blessed ones, I desire you to realize that our own dear Saint Joseph has provided for you, not alone my opportunity but an expanded opportunity where you can (as your own blessed Mother is doing) balance your karma and remain in life bearing the fullness of a crystal-fire chalice of light;3 and yet, the LORD GOD himself prevailing against the breaking of that chalice pre-maturely, so that you might be in the earth as I have ever desired to be - living all of my heavens on earth.4
Through the blessed celebration of the Mass, of the sacrament, of the marriage of the soul unto God on the path of sisterhood - we took our vows to be the spouse of Christ. And you may do the same, even preparing for the hour when this spiritual marriage may also be consecrated as an outer marriage of initiates on the Path. This, too, is the way sponsored by Saint Joseph in order that those who have followed the path of the brothers and the sisters of the Holy Church might in this dispensation know a fuller meaning - even the very crystallization of the inner vow - in taking up the life of the Holy Family.
Those who then care for the Holy Orders in this day ought not to grieve that there are fewer in number pursuing that way. For the Blessed Mother has asked me to tell you - that you might tell all you meet - that we are in a new dispensation! It is the dispensation of the Everlasting Gospel and of the eighth ray of wholeness5 whereby, as above and so below, the marriage of your soul to the living Christ and unto the Cosmic Virgin is to be celebrated, that the wholeness might be realized and, in the dawn and even the predawn hours of the coming golden age, new miracles of grace and the descent of avatars of light might appear unto the holy ones who in other embodiments served as temple virgins in Lemuria and Atlantis and as devotees, East and West, of the Lord Krishna in all of his many forms.
I rejoice, then, that you might see the example of my heart as a heart not unlike your own, struggling with the sins of the flesh and to overcome stubbornness and all the rest that would beset a child or one growing up on the Path.
Blessed hearts, God has so loved you in perfect grace that he has sent unto you and your very heart this, this Christed One - your Beloved and your LORD!
Let it be, then, that your understanding of the Path might increase - and of the acceleration of the Path - that when you lead the way of sainthood and attempt to follow in the footsteps of the saints of the past, you add unto their path the new dispensation of expanding the causal body on earth as in heaven, magnifying the LORD by the gift of the violet flame, truly entering in to the love of the Maha Chohan as the Holy Spirit teaches you the nature of your own divinity under the path of the Father, the Son, even the Mother, and the crystal light of those cloven tongues of the Paraclete.
Forget not, then, that there must be something in life, something in your character and heart that will present to you the choices to be a fuller and more manifest completeness of God. Do not condemn yourself unnecessarily, but recognize that there are weaknesses to which all flesh is heir.
The inheritance, then, of a bit of the mortal consciousness - the inheritance of human nature itself and the momentums of humanity - is for the testing of the mettle, even of those who have balanced their karma in the past.
If you consent to descend to earth to demonstrate the path of the ascension, my beloved, then you will be called upon to ratify those decisions that you have already made in past embodiments - and that in the face of considerable opposition that has gathered a world momentum against your own sainthood. No matter when you are preparing for the ascension, even though you may have earned it before, the forces accelerate. They increase their determination to cut it off before the fullness of the calla lily of thy life might appear.
O golden child of the Sun, golden daughter of Light - Step forth! Leave behind childish ways, but ever become the perfect child of God's heart.
Jesus, the Child Jesus! As I love him as the Perfect Child, he has also loved me in the holy innocence of the native soul. I can go with him and be the child in his strong and watchful arm. And I can receive him as the Mother when he himself would appear to his own in the mode of the child.
Therefore, cherish the era of childhood and preserve that innocence through all the years of thy life. For the one whose ascension you celebrate this day, your own beloved Clara Louise,6 did keep that innocence and purity side by side with an astute and mature discipline and a very ready awareness of the plots and ploys of the fallen ones to tear from her the bridal veil in the very hour of her ascension.
Ah, yes! She kept the watch in Berkeley, California. And I kept it with her for the children and the youth of the world. And many of you are sponsored by our flame.
We come with the aura of roses - mine pink, becoming the ruby ray of the blood of Christ; hers the white of her beloved Amen Bey7 and Mother Mary and Serapis, Lord of Life. Thus we two, standing as mothers mothering the Flame within you, present the body and the blood of Christ as the white and the pink, that you might also see that there is a bridal bouquet waiting for you as you accept the initiation of the cross of the ruby ray, of the angels of white fire.
Thus, enter into the joy of the hallowed circle of thy Father and thy Mother. And reconsecrate your life as "Holiness unto the LORD" - priests and priestesses of the sacred fire, drawing the circle of the One.8
The poetry of my heart is the song unto the Ancient of Days.
I rejoice to be a part of this company of saints who share in the worldwide body of the community of our LORD. I tarry here often. For I myself am writing a book concerning the violet flame for all who can make the transition from my life to the new life of the new age, for all who can move onward with Francis and Clare and Bonaventure and Teresa of Avila - move forward from that point of attainment to that which is your own.
Blessed hearts, when you place an aura of holiness upon us and think yourselves not worthy of our flame, then you effectively accept a vibration of separation and once again the dreariness of procrastination - that one day you might become a saint, but for now you might as well accept yourself as sinner.
Dear hearts, we come - we who have walked with Holy Church and become the brides of Christ. We come to tell you that we also bow before the Light within you now! - as you serve. And we recognize an attainment within you that we did not have, by the grace of Saint Germain and the science of the spoken Word!
Can we not then make a pact, one with the other, that by the mighty caduceus of the God flame of each one, we might merge our mutual attainment of Pisces and of Aquarius?9
That which you have gained was not open to us in that hour, and therefore we attained a strength and a purity by a certain striving. Thus, we would bequeath it to you, that you might have that momentum without some of the rigors that we endured. And we would lock within our hearts your momentum in the science of the spoken Word and, above all, that enlightenment that comes to you by the Holy Spirit by the heart of the messengers.
Realize, then, that we would take your gift upon the altar of God - your gift of the violet flame, of mercy, and of wisdom - and go back and give it to those who are trying to be saints under the most arduous conditions of planetary ignorance and church dogma. And without even the rudiments of Truth which you take for granted, these yet pursue a path that is most difficult in the presence of world conditions and the dragon of World Communism, which our Blessed Mother deplores. She still begs, as she did at Fátima, for you to give the rosary for the saving of many souls in the hour of darkness, for the staying of the hand against world calamity.10
Let us go forth together, hand in hand.
I have come to leave with you the very firm statement - and it is even stern from the heart of Clara Louise - that you are not unholy but holy ones of God, that you do have attainment and you are worthy of moving with the saints of heaven who are on earth in your midst!
Entertain not merely angels11 but those of us who stand robed in white, bearing the banner of your own ascension. Accept this reality: that you are the saints of God, moving with the saints of heaven and with the Church Universal and Triumphant of which all who are ascended are a part.
Realize the army of God. Realize who is the most "Faithful and True" servant - your own Christ Self whom you see in the person of Sanat Kumara, Gautama Buddha, Lord Maitreya, and Jesus Christ - leading the saints East and West.12 Behold, He cometh with ten thousand of his saints! Now remember when you hear those words, you are also numbered among them.
My plea in the name of Mother Mary, who needs you, is this: Accept your own God-mastery now! Act upon it! And put behind you the lesser image. Let us break those pitchers and accept the crystal chalice of the Christ.
Our bouquets of roses are laid upon the altar, that you might realize how close is the etheric to the physical octave when you assemble together with the Holy Spirit under this canopy of the LORD, Sanat Kumara.
In his name, I express my gratitude to Lanello for this opportunity to commune with you. I AM always with you when you call to me and speak my name.
