Eternal Light, how I would that thou shouldst be self-aware within these souls as the moving stream of Life!
Why come we except for a cosmic purpose? Are there any other purposes? You who call yourselves Keepers of the Flame of Life, I come to underscore the message of the Mother of the World, that you might realize that on this day of Pentecost she has addressed the great need of all Christendom, yea, and of all people. For it is the absence of the sense of self-worth in God that has made the individual unavailable for the mighty release of the Holy Spirit in this very hour. Look upon life and ask yourself, "Why does not the planet tremble in the very moment of the descent of the mantle of the risen Christ?"
Most blessed hearts who are a part of my own, know that I have dedicated all of my life to your infillment with the Holy Spirit. Therefore I am called the Maha Chohan. I come and I AM one in Spirit with Lanello, who to you is a sort of saviour and even that saviour who has drawn your soul out of the morasses of life to fulfill a greater portion of your selfhood.
It is his mantle that descends on this Pentecost to the upreached hands, the outstretched arms of true devotees of the love of God. Who may know what sacrifice of what portion of the self may result in the most majestic and the most humble manifestation of the Word? Who can know how the little things and the great propel one, because one has left them all behind? It is a moment for universal awareness. It is a moment for universal contemplation.
Mass movements of peoples are at hand; for famine, for war, for earthquake in divers places causes people to be dislocated and relocated. This movement moves on, not escaping the oncoming tide of world karma but greeting it in the very teeth. Having swords of flame, you thrust them forward, you take them again! And you remember one, Galahad, who on Pentecost, lo, four hundred fifty years and some after the life lived by Jesus, did also seize, according to legend, a sword from a stone floating in the water and thereby was self-proclaimed as the one who would sit in the perilous seat - the seat [whose occupant] would hold the balance for the Christ incarnate as chief disciple.
So his name was written and so he was the son of Launcelot. So he came, the Son of the Father, in a mission of Christhood. He saw the Grail because he himself was seen and known of the Grail. Others sought after it and they sought their own sense of the Grail, a personal sense of freedom, the way that they were wont to go. Each one's conception of the Grail was his very own, almost an anthropomorphic image of God himself.
You remember, according to the legend, that it was Gawain who betrayed King Arthur. For without subjecting his vow to his king he pronounced the vow within the great hall and therefore made it binding that he would go forth in quest of the Holy Grail. And others bound their vows, hundred fifty and more, and therefore the king did weep and the queen did weep and prophesied correctly that they would not find the Grail and that Camelot would come to naught.1
It was an idolatrous sense of self and of the Grail itself and therefore the witness of the Sangreal was not to them. It was, of course, given again and again. The few worthy knights, Parsifal and Bors, beheld it also. But, precious hearts, those who went after that which they themselves did not contain, those who were not called to behold the immaculate vessel - they, precious hearts, deserted the mighty work of the ages and failed to acknowledge in king and in queen the very presence of the Grail itself.
Why, the Community of the Holy Spirit is Grail and every individual within it is Grail! And therefore I come to find all the house of the Lord assembled each year in this hour at their appointed rounds, the rounds and places where they are to fulfill its inner Light.
I come to warn, then, of the forces of unrest and intrusion and also of the confusing of the mind as to the higher purpose of the keeping of the flame of Life where you are. The Body of God must have the savor of its salt. And the concentrated alchemy of Lightbearers is for the victory of all people and all nations.
The Holy Spirit has called you to an inner retreat, to the inner chamber of your own heart, to the mastery of the Path. I, the Maha Chohan, call you again. I warn you lest in pursuing illusion itself you miss the very calling of this life. We have selected an outpost, we have drawn a ring of fire around it, and we have said, "Let us preserve the very salt of the earth as souls of Light, that when the earth requires salting again, the salt will not have lost its savor."
Therefore I send the fire of Pentecost that all of those who are the devotees of the avatars of this world and the world to come might know that in preparation for the acceleration of earth and of yourselves individually, we summon, we endow with a light, and we call you to the giving of more than self - the giving of that all that determines the acceptable sacrifice for all who are to be the deliverers in the Holy Spirit of the Woman and her seed.
We have brought our Messenger to San Francisco and [to] you who have assembled here to establish electrodes for the holding of the balance, the balance against earthquake and tremblings of earth and tremblings of souls as the judgment comes. Periodically it is necessary for the huddling of Lightbearers in the very heart of the Mother that inner currents might be established, that times and half times might be gained, and that more Light might magnetize more children of the Sun.
As the hairs of your head are numbered, so are your days, so is your calling and your mission, so are those whom you must contact directly or indirectly through the publishing of the Word. We come with love and an intense fire. We come to inspire you to pursue, like a fleet of arrows, the setting aside of the Inner Retreat for the hour of the victory.
In our moments together I would transfer to you a story of my heart, a story of the Central Sun and your own intimate recollections of your oneness with Alpha and Omega. I would give you a vast arc, a rainbow arc, if you will, across the cosmic skies and sparkling through the cosmic sea. I would remind you of Sirius and of the Pleiades and of the call of the sevenfold Mother Light for your own fourteen stations of the cross.
I bless elemental life in this city and beyond - under the sea, in the earth, in the higher atmosphere. I bless elemental life through the fiery salamanders. And I remind you through the sacred fire of the memory of your comings and your goings and your foreknowledge of all that is come to pass in this age.
Within your heart is written the prophecy of life; I bid you read it well. Make your decisions in life. Surrender to the will of the Lord who rules your temple and to none other. And go be the Buddha where Gautama has arced his flame of Shamballa in the Inner Retreat.
I touch hearts who are full of fire here and in the cities of earth. I establish by the Light that I AM, a most intense, [a] fiery-intense connection to this heart in this octave that is the heart of Mother.
I AM the Maha Chohan. I could read to you your own story of the shepherd boy, as Lanello has told you his own in the book Cosmic Consciousness.2 I, too, have been a shepherd of sheep and a shepherd of millions, yea, billions of souls.
There be some who will be spun into the flame from this evolution and some who will continue in a solar evolution, some who will be caught up into a golden age and some who by the absence of selfhood will be no more and others who by their very selflessness will put on the Great God Self. All things are in flux. Therefore take heed that you are a part of the wind that bloweth where it listeth,3 that will gird thee up and carry thee whithersoever it wilt. And in this hour let thy will be supple, supple unto the very heart of God.
Soul of great Light, soul in the vale of decision, recognize the aeons of thy life that have been spent in challenging the Fallen One! Do not, then, respond to the tempter that would cause you to flee from the house of the Mother after the phantoms and illusions that would even destroy Camelot if they could, but they cannot.
Soul of Light, consider well the choice to integrate with the central flame or to disengage supposedly for an hour, a week, or a year. But can you tell? Do you not fear your God truly when the arcing of the return will come, once you have set a momentum of going out?
Has this not all been played out before? Has it not already been that you have gone forth as the prodigal son, squandered an inheritance and returned the beggar, only to be received again and perhaps again by the Father and the Mother, whose love is boundless but is not enduring, as Mercy is not enduring unto the rejection of itself, even by the children of the Light?
Mercy endures forever, Love endures forever in the hearts of those who are committed to that Mercy and to that Love. When one goes forth from the home of the Divine Parent, one thereby withdraws [one's] Mercy and Love [from] that parent, yet [the] all-enfoldingness of the Father-Mother God does seal that portion of Mercy and Love that is the inheritance lawful of each prodigal son.
I, therefore, call to task and call Home each and every prodigal son who by some fantasy of fallen one is self-deceived perhaps to believe that somewhere else is the greater Grail of freedom than in the heart of one's own Christ Self!
The day of Pentecost let us celebrate not the going out, not the betrayal of a Gawain, but the return to the hearth of the one who holds the Grail and keeps it for all the rest.
Is not that Galahad the sign of each one's own Divine Appearing, the sign of each one's own divine Sonship? Is not the true knight the one who will also rescue the soul as feminine potential and raise her up and see ignited the oneness of that blessed union? Is Galahad not the archetype of Christ himself, yet so young, yet so new at all the tasks and lists of Camelot?
Let us remember Mother Mary and her love. Let us also remember her need and her crucifixion. Let us remember the meaning of Pentecost to evolutions here and beyond in all lifewaves! Is it not the ratification on Whitsuntide4 of the Wesak of the Buddha, the ascension of a Christ? Is it not the culmination of the meaning of resurrection?
O fire that I AM, I AM come intensely burning! I AM in your heart as Holy Spirit! Soul of Light, I exorcise demons that have invaded the soul out of the very depths of hell with all of their hellish vibrations.
I AM the Holy Spirit. Thy Mother has called! Unless you withdraw the authority of thy Mother to act within thy life, I must answer, I must deliver, I must liberate each living son of Light!
I AM grateful to be called, O blessed hearts! Will you not also call me, as I AM come to start a fire, to ignite a world - your world, and through it all worlds?
I tell you of one who walked the path of Buddha. He walked that path seeking for the Light of Mother. A thousand years ago, ten thousand years ago while maintaining a form of discipleship he walked that path but kept himself unto himself, but yet was a servant of God. He kept a wife along the road of life. It was not the true wife; it was not the First Love of the Divine Mother.
But, by and by, after many years there came that representative of the Mother and, lo, in the moment and the hour of the Divine Appearing, so very, very long ago it was, he left the lesser conception of the feminine for the higher and therefore in surrendering the imperfect matrix of his own soul was able to embrace the fullness of the Divine One.
Thus the devotee of Buddha as son of Light learned the internalization of the Mother Flame and for that did come again to return to life in the service of the Buddha and the Mother. The crisscrossings, the interpatterns woven of life, teach the soul that, fragment by fragment, there is a refraction within one's own being until there is a perfect mirroring of that which is to be.
Sometimes, beloved ones, the imperfect conception of spouse may be one's own inner imperfect conception of one's soul. The absence of surrendering a portion of oneself may result in the outpicturing of the unsurrendered self as husband or wife within this or that incarnation. This occurs lovingly by the impersonal law of karma, that you may see juxtaposed against the reality within yourself that which is not surrendered and therefore that which is magnified and magnetized, not only in one but several and sometimes many manifestations of human relationships.
Find the point of absence of surrender within oneself and you will find points within those who perhaps are not true friends of Light but detractors of your own life's calling. Find the enemy within yourself and let it pass into the flame as an unwanted idol and you will find idolatrous relationships in your life dissolving and new relationships, based upon the living Word, forming. Then you will find yourself in happiness in the Community of the Holy Spirit and you will walk out of a dream of a former state. And once you have awakened from that dream it will be as though it never was.
Do not despair, then, what thy karma has brought unto thee, but be more concerned as to the causes behind that karma. Look for them within the walls and linings of self. Be willing to be detached and to detach them from the within. Be willing to see the idols as tin soldiers marching from thyself - mechanization man, ideas of idolatry that have no part with the single idea of the image in which thou art made the perfect Christ.
Most blessed of the Light, I seal you in the dove of the Holy Spirit. I seal every one gathered on this day in honor of our witness and our Messengers, partaking of our dictations and our Light, pronouncing the holy Word. I AM there in the midst! I release my fire! And my message is unto you a most personal awakening and quickening that you might have and be more of myself as the internalization of the Holy Spirit and all that I AM.
This day of Pentecost is truly a day of conversion within thyself by thy Self who is Christ the Lord. Reach out and up, and acknowledge thy want as absence of Light. Be willing to be filled and inundated! Receive the Buddha and the Mother as thyself and be made whole! For all is contained within their perfect Love and therefore you need no other - no other self, no other state. And all other states are the absence of that Be-ness.
O Buddha, Lord of the World, O Mother of the World, let thyself be manifest in these thy beloved! I seal you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. I seal you in the eye immaculate of your Mother. Heed her for she is thy wisdom in the way, especially in the way of thy spiritual blindness.
