I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart;
I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
Hail, thou dawn, thou dawn roseate with the love of the Eternal One! Hail, celestial spirits of fire! Hail, O hearts of men! Adore Him and praise Him - the King of kings, the Lord of lords,1 the God enthroned within man's heart,2 and the God to whom every angel and archangel3 pays adoration and homage!
Beloved ones, we have witnessed dawn after dawn in infinite number upon celestial systems of worlds infinite in number, and we rejoice yet in constancy and joy with each new dawn, with the freshness of the Spirit of Immortality. We tire not, for we are tireless servants of the Most High,4 beholding each day as a chalice of opportunity into which we may pour our energies, consecrated to the adoration of the fire breath of God.
Beloved ones, the reality of your immortal consciousness cannot be exceeded by human ideas, nor by human thoughts or by human creation. For all that is noble, all that is grand, all that is glorious within the consciousness of man and concerning mortal achievements is the work and service of the Most High God as he moves the arms, the heads, the hearts, and the ideas of men, em-powering them with the vision of things both temporal and eternal.
I am come this morning to girdle the world around with the love of the angelic host and the love of our Lord the Maha Chohan.5 Behold this globe symbolizing the world.6 The world is a reality to the heart of God; and the tangible radiance of the third ray, as it encircles the earth today, charged with a message of love from the heart of God, is a tangible reality which all the crowned heads and ruling heads of the world could not gainsay as the work of a fanatic or the ideas of a mortal consciousness.
Our love is a piercing, tangible reality, piercing the gloom of human thought and endowing mankind with the glory of immortal spheres. These spheres have spoken to the hearts of men throughout the ages. They have echoed within the waking consciousness of myriad individuals, and those individuals have recognized the "still small voice" that thundered from Horeb's height, that thundered from the mountaintops7 and yet can speak in the gentlest whisper of an angel's prompting.
Rejoice, ye hearts of men! Rejoice in the nobility of your own immortal being. Feel the pulsations of the flame of love from the heart of God - the pink radiance that softly bathes mankind in the glow-ray, which is captured by the chaliced roses pink and the radiance of the flowers throughout the world, expressing the radiance of the color rays.
Rejoice, then, in this beautiful pink radiance specifically charged with the flame of adoration - this flame which calls to you in its wondrous pulsations: I AM the Holy Christ Flame expressing the love of God among men, expressing the love of God in the universal consciousness.
Have you thought, beloved ones, that your consciousness is a great chalice - that your consciousness engulfs the universe and is greater by far than your mere physical form? Your consciousness, with the angels, in reality is a mighty chalice into which Life has poured its consciousness, and God has endowed you with his grace.
The principles of immortality are latent within many, but they are active within the hearts of the heavenly host and the angelic hierarchy. They stir the recalcitrant energies of men and they quicken the consciousness of men to know that, behold, they live!
Behold the consciousness of the risen Christ, the pulsating energies of the resurrection flame. Behold the pulsating energies of love!
The flame of adoration a myth? Nay, I tell you. The flame of adoration is tangible. It is more real than the brittle, ephemeral reality which men call daily living. The consciousness of the ascended host is given to mankind to their waiting, chaliced consciousness in order to resurrect in them the great transcendence of their own immortal birthright.
You have heard now from my heart concerning this flame. Then feel its blazing love as ten thousand angels of the adoration flame raise their cosmic swords charged with divine love and pierce the gloom this day surrounding the maya of the world and the delusion of the world with a shattering power such as the world has never known before!
I ask the angels of adoration to raise their beauteous twin-edged pink swords now and to call forth at inner levels a specific harmonious adoration to the God flame within the Great Central Sun. And as it charges forth into your midst and into the forcefield of the planet, I ask that the hearts of all men be quickened to feel the flame of immortal liberty - love, wisdom, and power in cosmic action here.
I AM here and I AM there. Behold, I AM everywhere!
The light of God that does not fail shines upon land and sea! It shines upon the Emerald Isle, upon Ireland, so beloved by El Morya. It shines upon the continent of South America, where children are wandering in the fields and gathering wild flowers. It shines everywhere within the waiting, chaliced hearts of those who will receive it.
Stand now, therefore, and hear the music of the spheres.
O shining, radiant Perfection
From the heart of the Eternal One,
Every archangel bows in adoration
To the tumultuous transcendence of thy Love -
Quivering in shafts of golden radiance,
Flooding the hearts of men,
Bathing them with the oil,
The holy oil descended in an ampule of Cosmic Light.
Blessed art thou, O thou Mighty I AM Presence of all,
Thou God Flame eternal upon the hearts of men,
Upon the hearts of angels,
Upon the altars of heaven.
Blessed art thou,
Blessed is thy radiance,
Blessed is thy consciousness,
Blessed is thy being,
Blessed art thou forever and forever!
All the heavenly hosts adore Thee.
They pour out tireless adoration to thy Glory,
And they bathe in thy glow-ray,
And they adore Thee!
And they drink thy Compassion.
They drink thy eternal Wisdom.
They drink thy eternal Power.
And they expand.
And they expand into thy Dominion -
Their own Dominion,
Into thy Reality -
Their own Reality.
They drink into the Unity that I AM.
They bathe in the Unity that I AM.
They adore the Unity that I AM.
For they say with thee:
"Behold, I AM THAT I AM!"
I have stood in the atmosphere of earth, high over the city of Babylon. I was present when the great love ray of God descended over the Tower of Babel to cause confusion of speech to enter into the hearts of those who were there present, to divide them and separate them from one another because of the manifestation of wickedness.8
I beheld how the great love/wisdom of God scattered men, that they should not continue to learn wickedness from one another but that rather in their scattering they should find more opportunity to commune in the quiet places of the world, finding solace in the inner radiance of their being.
Beloved ones, countless dawns have I beheld. But the dawn over the Tower of Babel, the day of the confusion of speech, was a memorable one in the chronicles of earth. It was a memorable one even to the heart of an archangel.
Many are the mysteries which mankind have faced. And some of the mysteries seem almost ponderous to the heart of an archangel.
Why did men, created and endowed with all of the glorious opportunity which was given to those of us known as archangels - why did men turn from the Great Light which gave them birth, their great God Source? Why did they turn toward the outer, toward matter, toward human creation, toward the outer consciousness?
Why did they feel the need to compete with one another? Why did they feel the need to learn arts of deception and practice them upon one another9 when the simplicity of the mighty Spirit of Truth within them would have endowed them with the power to perceive in one another's aura the very truth of their being?
And no deceptions could have been practiced whatsoever if the mankind of earth would have held their glorious contact with their Mighty I AM Presence. But they wandered away and became children of clay rather than children of the sun. And as they turned toward the clay and began to fashion houses of clay,10 working in the world as in a pile of rubble and esteeming it as such (when it is composed of pure light substance), then mankind, by reason of spiritual wickedness in high places,11 descended from their high estate.12
And I shall not rehearse the wickedness13 which mankind externalized. It is not pleasant for me to contemplate; and certainly you have been surfeited in it, O mankind of earth, and desire not to dwell upon it or in its vibratory action. And therefore, I merely touch upon it because by contrast I would point out the immortal birthright14 which mankind ought to cherish.
Popularity, beloved ones - popularity is a great myth. The mankind of earth have been overcome by the juggernaut,15 the juggernaut of human opinion. Mankind down through the centuries have gazed upon one another to perceive if man approved of God.
Well, beloved ones, God is good. The words may be simple, but the idea is profound because it is eternal. And the God that made the earth, the sea, the land, all that is, in gazing upon his creation spoke those blessed words: "Behold, that which I have made is good."16 And in a similitude, the creation, the reflected creation, manifested the pure light of that radiance which gave it birth. The world glowed with the transcendence of atomic energy. The bodies of men glowed.
No cosmetic was required to adorn those cheeks made rosy with the power of divine love. No cosmetic achievement was required for those ruby lips that breathed a prayer of praise to the great high priest,17 the Holy Christ Self of their being. No cosmetic adornment was required for the beautiful clearness of their eyes, splendid with the light of God. No cosmetic adornment was required for the crown of the angelic radiance known as their hair, beloved ones, that was as mighty light rays, each one charged with pure gold, the color of the sun shining in his strength.
O beloved ones, how beautiful was that perfect creation, that immortal conveyance of the identity of God, transferred to man as his birthright! How splendid it was! And how needless it was for any individual to compete with another individual, seeing all partook of the same common table - the blessedness of the eternal radiance of the Father. And I say to you, men have often spoken, saying, "Shall that day come again?"
Beloved ones, that day is ever here! It belongs to the eternal day of oneness. It is only in the separate consciousness of mankind passing through the spheres of human density (in the form of time changes, density changes, transportation and phases of consciousness) that that day is obscured. For all of this causes mankind to see the love of God veiled through a human veil, qualified by man with his opinions, his ideas, and his concepts. If those concepts be pure, then the beautiful externalizations reflect more of the divine radiance. If those externalizations are aborted or are opaqued by human densities, they do not reflect the radiance of the Eternal One!
And I am come today to teach you the power of adoration's flame. Those of you who are charged specifically with the wisdom of the Keepers of the Flame know the beauty and power in declaring, O God, you are so magnificent!18 Will you declare it now, with the voice of an archangel, with me? Will you repeat nine times, O God, you are so magnificent!
O God, you are so magnificent! O God, you are so magnificent! O God, you are so magnificent! O God, you are so magnificent! O God, you are so magnificent! O God, you are so magnificent! O God, you are so magnificent! O God, you are so magnificent! O God, you are so magnificent!
Within your hearts is a pearl of great price.19 In rainbow, iridescent splendor that pearl reflects the beauty and holiness of God. Men dwelling in a lesser state of consciousness, men afflicted with human lethargy and the disease of delay, procrastination, doubt and fear, do not perceive the great pearl that is within you. You have been admonished that you ought not to cast it before them20 but to retain it as did beloved Mother Mary, who is of our kingdom,21 within your own chaliced heart.
But the day is coming and swiftly when the knowledge of God, the true knowledge of God, shall cover the earth around about as a mighty sea,22 when the flood tide of his love shall inundate the human concepts. And men shall abide within their own ark of salvation, dwelling in the holy place to which Moses carried the ark of the covenant,23 dwelling in the place where the Shekinah24 glory of the Most High God ought to shine forth the radiance from the portals of the heart. For within the heart of God is the adoration flame of pure divine love.
What is the 'A-doration' flame? The first letter of your alphabet begins with A. The first declaration, God! is Alpha, the beginning. Beloved ones, adoration to God is a service of all men. And when the great streams and rivers of divine purity flowing forth from the crystal throne enter into every waiting heart, the answer shall be given to men to all that they seek.
Do you think, O children of mankind, that your silent musings are unheard? Do you think that your prayers uttered sometimes in despair and hopelessness are not understood? Those of the angelic host who comforted the Christ in Gethsemane have assuaged much human grief, have brought oceans of comfort to mankind from the invisible octaves - unknown by mankind, unrealized as the service of an angel.
Men say they do not believe in angels. Well, I am here! I am here this morning to give within your hearts the tangible witness of our reality - the reality that leaps for joy at the mighty name of God, I AM!
You will hear the bells now tolling from your steeples here. You will recognize that there is an eternal Angelus which descends upon the hearts of men. You will recognize that there is a day of eternal prayer in the temple of lives of nobility. You will recognize that the love of God, flooding forth and charging forth into the newborn infant, flooded forth with hope - the hope of the hearts of heaven.
Beloved ones, your hearts are touched by a twinge of nostalgia as you contemplate your own mother's love for you. What then of the love of the Cosmic Mother? What of the hopes of God for men? What of his hope? What of it?
Beloved ones, pause to consider and recognize that you ought to receive from his heart not only a touch, but the fullness of his immortal purpose. It is your responsibility to externalize it. The entire hosts of heaven, the angelic hosts, the cosmic masters, the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood25 stand ready, willing, and able, waiting to assist you in outpicturing the great grandeur and nobility of your own being!
Come, then, and reason together, saith the LORD!26 Enter into the great temple of your own being, a temple builded eternal in the heavens27 - the Christ consciousness of your own Higher Mental Body.28 Your Holy Christ Self is the chief cornerstone thereof. It does not build in deceit. It does not build in confusion or hypocrisy. It does not build in disunity. It builds in the eternal unity of God, E pluribus unum - "one out of many," out of many, one.29
From the Spirit of Oneness came forth diversification, but all returns in heart and essence to the One, because in that essence is the iridescence of God, the splendor of joy to the world, peace upon earth, on all worlds good will toward men.30
The Spirit of God, as a girdle, as a garment of love, sweeps the world around. The roses from the heart of the Maha Chohan burst beneath the feet of men and they speak to them of those days of childhood innocence when men were not aware of so-called sin, of the effects of karma or the need for mitigation, when mercy was not thought of, for men only expressed the perfectness of God.
In that City of God, that City Foursquare, the perfection of God eternal rests yet in the temple of immortal being. It awaits each lifestream's own decision, own desire, each lifestream's own acceptance and the pressure of acceptance of that immortal opportunity. The fraternal love of God must express beneath the Fatherhood of God, beneath the brotherhood of man. But it must express in exaltation.
As I came to you this morning, I have descended from our comfortable octave into your octave. But I descended that I might cause you to ascend in consciousness; I came down that I might elevate you. There are many of you who have striven to rise into our octave, and you elevated your own consciousness and soul to our octave.
And so there are two methods by which contact with the heart of an archangel may be achieved. One is when I choose to descend to carry my radiant energies from the higher spheres of light, and the other is when you choose to ascend in consciousness and consciously contact our octave.
Do you think, beloved ones, that seeing I am here this morning willing to give my energy and charge it forth into the world, I would not respond to your call? I tell you, the very heart of God has charged every archangel and every being of heaven with the desire to emulate him and to respond to the heart calls of his creation.
What is our purpose? The endowing of mankind with our blessing, that they might remember that which they have long forgotten, that they might enter into that in which they have not pulsated for a long time, that they might enter into the pulsations of the pure love flame of God.
What is the pure love flame of God? Beloved ones, you are touched with one little iota, one little portion, of the love ray of God, and your hearts are flooded with ecstasy.
Do you know the meaning of the flaming bush that was not consumed?31 Do you know the meaning of your life being so charged with divine radiance that even the tips of your fingers are scintillating and giving off the sacred fire?
Do you know the meaning of the Scriptures: "Behold, I see men as trees walking"?32 Do you know the consciousness of mankind that reaches down into the heart of the earth and extends its roots into the material consciousness, and recognizes it as charged with the divine radiance as the creation of God, and then extends its leafy branches high into the heavens - for only God can make a tree?33
Do you recognize the nerves within your body, beloved ones, as a network of the divine radiance extending its consciousness up to be charged with the radiance of God? Do you perceive that the very blood flowing through your veins, beloved ones, is actually charged with the golden-pink radiance of God, the love flame pulsing from your hearts, the love flame charging your nerves and your whole body with the radiance of God?
Well, beloved ones, when you understand this and use this great law of the sacred fire, your bodies will be a living, pulsating flame of love. You will find that you are a god of your own universe, and you will no longer know the pain of unhappiness.
There are temporary eclipses of the sun of your being while you are here, beloved ones. You must pay no attention to it. You must look for the radiance behind the human clouds and veils, and know that it is there. Truly, as has been sung this morning, Be still and know that I AM God.34
O adoration flame, thou eternal pulsation of the mighty I AM name, bless these thy children and all the children of light35 upon the earth. Endow them with that wisdom which will expand within them the liberty flame, which will expand within them the compassion that knows the meaning of unity - not as a mere word but as the power of love in action to unify the hearts of all people, that there may truly dwell among men those in touch with the angelic hosts, those who know the meaning of 'Glow-ray' to God in the highest, and upon earth peace, good will toward men!
I thank you and I bid you good morning from the angelic hosts.
