Peace be unto you, O my dearly beloved ones. Children of the Father, may the peace of God flow through you today, sweeping into your consciousness even as a new broom to sweep you clean from all that which has been in the past which was not of the light and bring to you the refreshment of the knowledge that you are a son of God, even as I AM.
I came in my ministry long ago to bring to the world peace and a greater understanding of the Father and the Father's love. I am certain that all of you understand perfectly that my mission has never failed.
There are times when among you, you have a tendency to feel that the service and mission of your lifestream has failed. And yet, many of you have contacted more people in your day and brought their attention to the light than I contacted physically in my day as I moved among the people of Palestine and other parts of the world. Did I not declare, "The things that I do shall ye do; and greater things shall ye do, because I go to my Father"?1
Little ones, who are becoming great ones day by day, rejoice in the perfection of the Father and his great wisdom. Do not feel that you have failed in your life because it does not contain the elements of the spectacular. Simply because men do not glorify you as they glorified me does not mean that you have failed. You are a part of the sacred bread which came down from heaven.2 You are a part of the body of God, even as I AM.
Mankind have a great desire to serve light, but they also have a desire to glamorize that which passes from the screen of life. And often while an avatar is dwelling among them, they tend to vilify and crucify that one in many subtle ways - not necessarily upon a cross as was done unto me, but in many other ways that would be calculated to defeat the mission of that lifestream.
But blessed ones: The light of God never fails! The light of God never fails! The light of God never fails! And in the great light, in the great akashic records, there is recorded the virtue of that which every lifestream has ever performed.
When you do good in my name, when you heal the sick or raise the dead or restore sanity to the mind of the insane, when you perform a service of peace in my name, I tell you of a truth, the great cosmic light records that act and no one can remove from your record this treasure of heaven - this mark, recorded in golden letters to your own lifestream, an asset to your life, a precious chalice and trophy of cosmic achievement.
It is not necessary that mankind should glamorize you. And I ask you, as you are practical people, how could it be in this day and age, if all among mankind were to become Christs, that each one could be separately and individually glorified by mankind?
It is the glory of God that is essential, and the recognition by your own Mighty I AM Presence that you have performed a service to the light is sufficient in itself! For this is the honor of your Father which is in heaven. And it was to him that I dedicated the energies of my own lifestream, and it was to him that I stood approved and stand approved.
The honor of mankind means nothing to me; for I have observed that while they honor me with their lips3 and while they worship me with their lips and their services and their ordered services, they despoil the children of men and they smite their brother, and they exalt their outer consciousness and they fail utterly, in many cases, to outpicture the Christ consciousness.
And it is this that I desire of them, and it is this that I desired of Jerusalem when I wept over Jerusalem and I said, "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that stonest the prophets and killest them that are sent unto thee, how oft would I have gathered thee together, even as a hen gathereth her little ones under her wings, and ye would not! O ye would not!"4
And today I am still desiring that mankind shall recognize their responsibility to every part of life and not just to those that may appeal to their outer sense consciousness. Within each lifestream upon this planet whom God hath made there is a threefold flame. It breathes forth an eternal, rainbowlike radiance in everyone you meet. And some of the most ugly among mankind who, because of certain karmic conditions, have achieved an ugly countenance, have within them a greater manifestation of the Christ than some of those most beauteous ones, who actually are descended in some cases from those children born at the time the sons of God5 came in unto the daughters of men and chose them wives of them which were fair among the laggard evolutions.6
And so, blessed ones, it is not always to a beautiful outer consciousness or countenance that you should be dedicated, but to the inner man of the heart.7 The inner man of the heart, the pulsating threefold flame is in every form among mankind - the most ugly, the most misshapen, the most twisted. They need your love even more than those beauteous ones among mankind, who often have a superabundance of love lavished upon them because of the attractiveness of their outer form and consciousness.
O blessed ones, if the world is to breathe the freedom which I taught and which I am constantly teaching at inner levels, they must recognize the responsibility they hold to the Father, to their own God Presence, to the unfailing light itself. And they must not listen to the dissonant voices of their own outer personality.
I am well aware that the selfhood of man is a garment which in itself clothes the holy flame of divinity. And I do not ask that you shall destroy that garment by pulling the threads of the garment out, one by one, until it is rent and tattered. But I ask rather that you transmute each tiny thread so that it does not manifest the eccentricities of the ego, but rather manifests the Holy Christ flame. Let each thread be woven of love, and then you will have a wedding garment which will enable you to sit down together with the ascended masters at those cosmic feasts of light8 which we hold in our octave, those divine banquets which are a feast for the souls of men.
You have heard it said that whither the carcass is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.9 And I am certain that in this activity of The Summit Lighthouse, as the body of God is recognized and as the body of God is amplified and as the Eternal Christ substance is brought forth as the living bread from heaven, that it will draw those divine eagles from all parts of the earth who shall come to gather where the body is, until the world itself will acknowledge the perfection of God.
All outer esoteric bodies of the Great White Brotherhood are created and established by the great Brotherhood in order to glorify God. If they serve but to glorify the outer personality of individuals or to cater to their outer egos, they cannot help but fail to accomplish the cosmic purpose for which they came into being.
And likewise conversely, if they shall recognize the Christ image and shall exalt that image, it is impossible that they shall fail to draw and to attract those spiritual beings who love light more than they love self, who love truth more than they love error, who love immortality more than they love mortality, and who recognize that the changing outer form never can and never will sustain their life, but that the sustaining power of their life is in that great silver cord which pours down its radiance upon their head, beats and sustains their heart, makes them have the feeling of cosmic love and the desire to reach out and to be a healing Christ, to touch upon the head those lepers of human consciousness - who are, by reason of their past karma, victims of circumstance and the misuse of energy - and to heal those individuals from their leprosy, their sin, and their disease and discomfort, and restore them to the state where God can rejoice because they have returned to the fold as the tiny lamb held in the arms of the shepherd, for which he forsook the ninety and nine and went in search of.10
Therefore, blessed ones, if you will help me in my great cosmic search as I go out abroad daily among the fields of men, the great harvest fields, and seek to draw from among mankind those individuals who are specifically interested in serving this new age, then I ask that you shall continue to make calls for your own perfection and for the perfection of all life, so that this activity - and I refer here to the cosmic activity of the Great White Brotherhood - shall continue to expand and be efficient in drawing all mankind to the great power of light.
As I said, "If I be lifted up, I shall draw all men unto me."11 And therefore exalt the Christ, and the Christ within all men cannot help but expand. And as it expands, it will move in the direction of this exalted Christ in your midst. This is the host of heaven, the cosmic light, the unfailing, unquenchable fire of the Holy Spirit, the triune power - the Trinity in the unity - the perfection for which you seek, and the glory which God would bestow upon every child that ever drew a breath upon this planet, those embodied and those out of the body.
Blessed ones, the hour of peril which presently faces the earth must be transmuted. It is a fiat of light that it be transmuted, but it requires an ordered service on your part and a faithfulness on the part of many throughout this earth. We of the ascended host cannot do it unless we have your conscious efforts. And therefore, we implore you once again to maintain and sustain the cosmic action of light and visualize it with great potency.
Realize that the violet fire is tangible. Sense its tangibility! Sense the sacred fire! Realize that it is in the atmosphere of this room. And if you will gaze upon this tiny flame of the candle here, you will see that there is a beauteous flame behind the flame. And if you put out the outer flame, you cannot quench the inner flame - for it is the sacred fire.
[Messenger: Now comes that great Defender of the Faith, Archangel Michael, into our midst.]

Cosmic Legions of Archangel Michael:
Service and a Sword of Blue Flame
Hail, blessed children of earth! In the name of God, I AM, I, Michael, Prince of the Archangels, declare that the cosmic sword of blue flame is this day drawn and extended over this city and over the earth.
I come today to defend the very faith of that Christ who has just spoken to you. And I come today to sustain and uphold it always. And I know that in your midst today, in your hearts, there are any number of you who are exceedingly zealous of the service that I have rendered mankind, and you often wish that you could be a part of my cosmic legions.
And therefore, I say to you today, that those of you who truly desire to be a part of my cosmic legions will have an opportunity in the days ahead, in this sense: that if you will make the calls to your own Holy Christ Selves before you pass out of the body at night in sleep, I assure you that I have requested of the Great Karmic Board that you shall be escorted, even by those who are of my legions, to join us in our service during these days of peril to the earth. And you will have the opportunity to serve us for three hours on each night that you volunteer.
Blessed ones, this is a great opportunity of service to those of the student body who desire to sustain our efforts to defend and to uphold the faith of the Christ among mankind.
Materialism and the powers of materialism in this age have run rampant. And the power of human greed and human error has caused the Christ image actually to be almost completely concealed from mankind, so that in their religious services they cease to recognize the power behind the host, behind the sacred bread, behind the Eucharist. They cease to recognize the true Christ image even behind the beautiful paintings that they have in their churches and cathedrals. And they cease to recognize in their fellowmen the Christ image that beats and sustains the heart.
It is this that we would restore! The forces of the Communist world have today arrayed themselves as Gog and Magog12 against the LORD of hosts! They have arrayed themselves against the power of the light! They seek the destruction and the downfall of mankind, although they claim that they seek the construction of a communal world.
The community which they would build is based upon atheism. It is based upon the power of shadow and darkness and concealment of the truth from mankind. It is based upon that which is not divine freedom. It is based upon that which is base and baseless.
But, blessed ones, I tell you that Saint Germain, who is the God of Freedom for this earth, and the beloved ascended master Jesus Christ are those to whom you owe your allegiance, that the forces of the democratic and free world shall stand forth victorious in this day and age!
But I cannot truthfully tell you that among all the free world today there are hearts that are completely pure. For there are many among the free world so-called who in their own consciousness practice deceit. And this must be cut loose from them, and they must recognize the need to be consistent and true in the democratic principles and the principles of freedom! Men must love Christ with a true fervor and with true sincerity, and they must recognize the need to have truth.
Long ago when the Christ stood before Pilate, the call was made, saying, "What is truth?"13 Blessed ones, Truth stands revealed in the Presence of the Christ, and the Christ is the Light which lights every man, every child, every one that is born in the world,14 and sustains their light through every moment which they are conscious.
Therefore, blessed ones, recognize the Christ image in mankind. And therefore, you shall serve with me to defend the faith, to sustain the powers of light, and to keep the sword of blue flame active, cutting mankind free and freeing this world until the Great White Brotherhood can effectively disseminate through the educational channels of the world that knowledge which will cover the earth as a great sea of knowledge,15 and everyone shall know God as he is.
They shall know their own I AM Presence as it really is, and they shall be free. And they shall no longer dwell in discord or dismay or unhappiness or pain, for God shall have wiped away every tear from their eyes.16
And therefore, our cosmic service to cut mankind free shall be finished. And we shall joyously observe as mankind returns home and this particular phase of the great cosmic plan is completed and all life is enfolded in the beauties of the flame of God to ascend unto the Great Central Sun with rejoicing, with happiness, with peace, and with light!
I thank you, and I urge greater vigilance in the name of the ascended Jesus Christ. I urge greater use of the sword of blue flame. I urge greater use of the God powers bestowed upon you.
And thus shall you stand with me to defend the faith. You shall be a part of my legions. You shall assist the earth to its cosmic victory. You shall glorify the name of the ascended Jesus Christ. You shall glorify the Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood. You shall bring rejoicing to all the hosts of heaven.
And you yourself shall not lack in rejoicing, as we do, in the Son of God, in the strength of God, in the beauty of God, in the joy of wholeness, and in the light which enfolds you now as with a swaddling garment to magnify in you, as Mary did of old, the great light of God, saying: My soul doth magnify the LORD, and my spirit does rejoice in God my Saviour.17
Your own I AM Presence is your Saviour. It is that which will exalt you through your Holy Christ Self into the glory and peace of your own ascension. Assist others, beloved ones, and thus shall this expand today out into the world of form and God shall be glorified in you, even as he is glorified in me.

The dictations "By the Inner Flame and Inner Man of the Heart - You Will Not Fail!" by Jesus, and "Cosmic Legions of Archangel Michael: Service and a Sword of Blue Flame" by Archangel Michael, were delivered through the Messenger Mark L. Prophet September 3, 1961, in Woodstock, Ontario, Canada. Introductory quotation: Eph. 6:11, 17. The dictation "Use the Sword of Blue Flame Daily" by Archangel Michael was delivered through the Messenger Mark L. Prophet July 3, 1961, during the 1961 Freedom class in Washington, D.C.; published on 8-cassette album An Inner Retreat I (A8154). Archangel Michael, whose name means "who is as God," is the Prince of the Archangels, Defender of the Faith, Guardian of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. In 1950, he was declared "patron of policemen" by Pope Pius XII. In the Old Testament, Archangel Michael is described as "the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people" (Dan. 12:1). Longfellow, in The Golden Legend, identified him as the angelic being from the planet Mercury who brings the gift of "heavenly Prudence." In art, he is most often portrayed slaying the dragon, as recorded in Revelation 12:7-9: "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. ..." He is the "first angel," referred to in Revelation 16:2, who comes bearing the first vial of the seven last plagues (see Elizabeth Clare Prophet, Vials of the Seven Last Plagues, pp. 2-14, paperback.) For other Scriptural references to Archangel Michael, see Daniel 10:13, 21; Jude 9. Archangel Michael serves on the first (blue) ray of protection, perfection, faith, and good will. From his etheric retreat in the Canadian Rockies at Banff near Lake Louise come the legions of blue lightning angels appointed by God to defend the sons and daughters of Light.
