O gentle radiance of the white light, thou dove of the Spirit, be formed anew and descend now in answer to my call upon these, my very own beloved.
Dearest hearts of my own desiring, I AM always your father, always Lanello with you. I AM that Christ with you, guardian of your purity, presence of honor in the face of your own dishonoring of me when you stray from the Path and do those things O so foolish - foolish in the light of the law that you know and the cause for which we fight together.
Those things that are the foolishness of men cannot rise to the temple of God. It is well to consider, then, that when the people of this world attempt to define the rightness or the wrongness of a deed, they do so many times with a bold bravado of justifications, beginning and ending with free will, "My right!" and all sorts of reasons why a little bit of sin is like the salt or the pepper of life.
"A little bit will only season the stew and make it more palatable." A little bit of sin will make the course of a rough karma or a bad deal dealt from one's own karmic trust a little bit more bearable! "And if I can say," so it goes, "that I will do my job better by a little bit of sin rather than not do it at all, I will then compromise."
Dear hearts, the devils know their song, and they sing that song all the day and all the night in the ear of those who need to hear it to justify their position, which is a lack of strength, a lack of the driving will to be who you are, to stand at the level of the very floor of your own Christhood and your own Christ flame!
You must be where the point of light descends in you and where the flame springs up - and no lower than this. It is your right, your true right, and your true calling. It cancels out every other right!
There are things you do not do because of this supreme right which says: If you would have this right and exercise it, if you would have it and hold it and have recourse to it in time of trouble or danger, then do not depart from it and claim those other rights!
For the right to take drugs or fill the body with tobacco and alcohol, the right to swear, the right to sin - these are not corollaries of your right to be Christ, your right to be with God. On the contrary, this is the anti-rights movement. It has been abroad in the land for millions of years.
The Nephilim thought by their right to be, they could create mechanization man (also with us millions of years) and all sorts of things. "Because I am a co-creator with God, therefore," they say, "I have the right to create anything."
God himself bears the burden of his law, the law of his own Godhood. There are things which God himself does not create, not because he is God but because he obeys his law.
The law of the office of Godhood is applicable in the whole stream of hierarchy! And therefore, those things not in keeping with that central theme of identity are called foolishness!
For foolishness is the folly of the fool, and the fool is the one who has renounced his Godhood for some other throne of a demigod - or a demagogue. Half-gods are the demagogues of the world.
Dear hearts, do not fool yourself; for this, too, is foolishness.
I come to drink the cup. For I, too, call upon the law of forgiveness. Can you understand that we also exercise the ritual?
Forgiveness is the law of the Aquarian age. Forgiving the lesser state of consciousness within yourself is an ongoing process whereby you, therefore, may put on the higher consciousness.
There is always a higher consciousness above you. And therefore, you grow into greater and greater states of grace whereby you look upon the former state and you desire to forgive it (which means to transmute it), for it no longer has usefulness.
It is too gross in the sense of being too dense. It is the sense that you no longer desire the light in the form of the threefold flame to descend so far into the planes of density.
Higher and higher and higher is the manifestation of the threefold flame. It takes you with it! And when you rise with it, you look where you were before in your former state and you realize that in that former state, you compelled your threefold flame to descend to that point. You compelled God to be where you were.
And now you look upon it and you say, "I forgive it." And by your forgiveness of your former state of relative density, it is dissolved and you move higher and higher with the rising threefold flame.
It is the threefold flame which ascends within you, and you ascend with it. And it takes you where it goes, if you will allow it. But you may also drag it down into the mire of an unprofitable human existence - unprofitable in every way!
But by and by, you see, the threefold flame itself will manifest its own will. For it is, after all, the Presence of God with you. Therefore, it will sever itself from the body that has become the willful body of sin, and it will return to the plane of the universal Christ consciousness.
There are such individuals abroad upon the face of the earth. They have lost their threefold flames! And the greater shame is that in the hour when they lost it, they knew not. And in that hour, they became what is called a castaway.1 A castaway is one that has been literally "cast away" by the Person of the threefold flame who has said: "I will no longer abide in this level of density."
So, you see, it appears as though you command the coming and going of God and that the threefold flame is following you around and must be wherever you are. This is true for a season, and God allows it so that you can feel a certain sense of being in the driver's seat, of being in control of your life.
This is the cycle of opportunity. And the threefold flame moves with you wherever you are, even in the state of committing sin. You feel the Presence of God with you. You know the comfort even of chastisement. You still have a sense of right and wrong, for conscience has not left you as that conscientious presence of the threefold flame.
But there is an hour and a day when you elect to go down and the threefold flame says, "I will not descend another day or hour. I take my leave. I ascend to God."
Now, there is a law of human evolution on this planet, and it is the law of mortality. Thus that shell, that human, continues. It may procreate with other humans and its forcefield may reincarnate.
This is the age of the castaways, of their harvest. They are known as the dying race that will be no more. For when the cycles turn, they do not have the wherewithal to fit into the new vibration of the new age, and even their physical manifestation is cut off and no longer allowed to continue. Thus, in the face of this cyclic occurrence which you now observe in the world, you see how death becomes so rampant on a planet.
Thus, beware. For just when you think you are the omnipotent one and you can control God, you may turn and find that you have no control whatsoever. And the cycles turn. And it is too late.
Now, you may argue and say it is never too late, for he said, "His mercy endureth forever." If it is never too late, then answer me this: Why the last judgment? And why the second death? And why the evaluation of the soul according to works?
You cannot scramble from the courtroom of the sacred fire and say, "I will quickly go and perform some good works for a good record."
It is spoken then: It is too late. Opportunity has cycled. The universe is moving on. The universe has elected to move on, and you have elected to remain where you are.
Now learn of me and of my path: precisely the understanding of the humility of the Infinite One.
Fear God in the sense of the respect of his law.
Feed one another as thou wouldst feed the Christ.
Minister to each other's needs and to the sick.
And bring the afflicted souls to the heart of God.
But whatever you do, be God where you are.
For you have a capacity for Godhood in this very moment.
Each of you carries a portion of the Person of God. I desire you to be that God and protect that God! Even a thimble's worth of God can save a universe.
Be God in your present capacity to be God. And God will beget God within you. God will multiply himself within you.
Do not give away the portion of the Godhood, that is your own in this hour, by foolishness. Indeed, all sin is foolishness.
When the mighty rolling tide, the inundating waterfall of light is falling all around you and next to you, why, O why would you choose to stand apart from it and watch it! Why would you not stand under it and be cleansed and be inundated and rejoice and rise?
This is the cry of an ascended master - Why?
O let me not hear the answer, but let me see you leap into the descending sacred fire and go to the victory!
