Marriage in the Church Universal and Triumphant
Weaving the Wedding Garment

     My beloved and my own, I come to you in this hour of the celebration of the descent of the eternal Light to speak with you in preparation for the coming of the Blessed Mother.

     I would speak to you of her flame, and of her light and comfort in my life - not only this, but her contact with my soul, her sponsorship of my life and my messengership, and her bearing in part the burden of my own karma until the day should come when the mantle of the messenger upon me would itself be the transforming power of the divinity in my life.

     I am your own Mark, and I desire you to think of the four letters of that name as the four points of the cross and the path of the ruby ray and its initiations, which you are about to enter as man and wife1 and as chela of the sacred heart of El Morya, as disciple of living Christus.

     For I, Lanello, bless each and every one of you in this hour in Jesus' name - every disciple of the light, every lightbearer of earth. And I dedicate your lifestream to the ascent, to the return to the point of origin, by way of the alchemical marriage of your heart with the living Saviour.

     What does this mean indeed? It means that day by day, portions of the sacred fire are taken as holy communion by your souls - not merely the bread and the wine ritual, but the very putting on of the sacred fire of that threefold flame of your own Christ Self. It is the assimilation of Light by agreement with that Light.

     Thus many in the Christian churches respond to the statements of Truth with "Amen! Praise the LORD! Hallelujah!" And therefore, by giving the Word of the Holy Spirit in confirmation of scripture and Truth, they are assimilating that Light by agreement.

     Therefore "Alleluia!" is the appropriate cry in this hour of the birth of the living Saviour because the origin is the name of Yahweh. It means "Praise, I AM THAT I AM!"

     Praise the Great I AM, Alleluia!

     Thus, the fire of the heart leaps to confirm the Word. And, you see, this is assimilation. I will tell you what is not assimilation. Assimilation is not: hearing the Word but failing to be the doer, letting the rain of the Word fall upon you but failing to extend a chalice to catch it - not only to catch it, but to drink it!

     "Drink ye all of it"2 means the capturing of the crystal beads of fire in the four lower bodies and in the chakras - allowing the momentary crystallization to be experienced, even as pain or sorrow or burden or the intensity of that creative stress or tension which is followed by a new level of consciousness and a higher absorbing of the fire infolding itself even as the fire is absorbing you.

     "Drink me while I am drinking thee" is the eternal love song of Alpha and Omega, the oneness of the white fire body, the great causal bodies of twin flames. Thus, taking in the fire infolding itself and surrendering to that fire is the supreme act of love by the soul mounting the initiatic ladder in the tower of The Summit Lighthouse, ultimately arriving at the top - three hundred and thirty-three steps to the very point of the Light.

     This light of the crown chakra, when fulfilled by the steps of initiation, when all of the lights in your Christmas tree are lit - the seven chakras, the chakra of the eighth ray, the one hundred and forty-four points of light - when you become that Tree of Life, that Summit Lighthouse, that is when you magnetize the full conflagration of the Mighty I AM Presence.

     And heaven and earth are one, and you enter into the ritual of the ascension as the natural acceleration of all light to that point of the final alchemical union whereby the soul, having become one with Christ through daily assimilation of his Body and Blood, does therefore enter the alchemical union with the Spirit of the I AM THAT I AM. The soul could not enter that final reunion without the wedding garment, without the Deathless Solar Body,3 without the oneness of the Christ Self.

     Therefore upon the altar of Almighty God, I seal these vows of these souls in each individual Christ Self that you may know forever that you are wed to Christ; and this is the meaning of this sacrament. Therefore, walk in the path of thy Christhood and know one another in the beauty of the love of Christ - the Christ of Alpha, the Christ of Omega - the purpose of the union, therefore, to anchor in the physical octave of earth the wholeness of that Christ union of the eternal Deathless Solar Body.

     Realize therefore, O children of the sun, that the return to God is a pathway walked through the initiations of the seven sacraments. Though the first is given at baptism at birth, all of these seven continue through life, day by day fulfilling the law of the seven rays, which the seven sacraments represent - and the seven chakras.4 Spiral by spiral, each one renews the divine embrace, and that contact with Almighty God becomes nearer and dearer in each twelve cycles of the cosmic clock, which may occur daily or weekly or monthly or hourly or yearly as you are able to accelerate.

     Thus all come to the point of bearing the Omega light in this hour, which is transmitted to you by our witness, by the focalization of our flames. We therefore seal at inner levels the Deathless Solar Body of twin flames of Alpha and Omega, each one with the Mighty I AM Presence and the divine counterpart, that you might know the wholeness of the living Word. And therefore, this transmission of the light is for the sealing of the earth in the balance of the spheres of Alpha and Omega - therefore, each one receiving a new increment of the Mother flame, yet each one in a different cycle of the twelve and of the chakras.

     You have been evolving for millions of years. No two are alike in the initiation of the Mother chakra. Blessed hearts, understand this. All dip into the one Light, yet each one according to these cycles, millions of cycles, dating back millions of years. You see that you differ in age, in our respect, according to the advancement of the weaving of the Deathless Solar Body of the soul - according to the increase of the seed of the permanent atom of your being as the point of light of your own beloved Mighty I AM Presence.

     Thus the age of the soul is determined by the many turns of the swaddling garment of light around the soul in confirmation of that permanent seed atom of the Divine Monad. Thus, one star differeth from another in glory,5 and our sameness and our oneness is based upon a common goal and a common cause, but not upon a common attainment. For no attainment is common, nor can it be held in common, beloved hearts.

     Thus understand that life is built and you do indeed create yourselves, each one, a magnificent sphere of light at inner levels.

     Now in this year of 1984, I, Lanello, call forth a mighty dispensation of light whereby each one, according to his individual path of initiation, will draw forth from his causal body of light the increment and the momentum for the weaving of the Deathless Solar Body, as the very vibration and cupped chalice of divinity is a requirement of the hour for the fulfilling of the common destiny and the goal of the Great White Brotherhood.

     My prayer is twofold - that each one will learn to master the technique of a greater calling forth of the light and a calling forth of greater light, and of the sealing and retaining of that light in the chakras.

     The first, then, is the understanding of the technique which God himself must teach you by the magnet of love in your heart, for love does melt the fires of divinity and does draw down the greater light - love as harmony, love as devotion to the Blessed Mother and loving one another, loving the Great God, I AM - the technique, therefore, for the drawing forth and the guarding and sealing of that light in purity, that it is sealed in the chakras, sealed in the Deathless Solar Body.

     The second part of my prayer is that you might bring forth, by the direction of your Christ Self and I AM Presence especially those talents and treasures that are necessary to the total picture of community, to the totality of our effort which, as the reverse side of the coin of the realm of God's kingdom, you might say, will also complement your own divine plan and sacred labor. For the blessing of the community is the blessing of your soul, and the reverse is also true.

     Therefore, considering that the causal body and the Mighty I AM Presence stores infinite light, infinite records and great attainment of past golden ages, you can understand that only so much of this can be carried in the chalice of the soul and the four lower bodies in any given life or lifetime. Thus, it is expedient that that which you draw forth can be applied to the mission at hand. And you understand the limitations of light by the very factors of time and space and age - which is determined, as I would remind you, by cycles of attainment, and not years, within these four lower vehicles.

     Blessed hearts, you know in this hour that though you would take on many projects and serve here and there, when it comes down to it, each one has but twenty-four hours in the day. As the days come to a conclusion, so do the weeks, the months, and the years of each lifetime. The precious guarding, therefore, of the chalice of opportunity becomes the wise dominion of sons and daughters of God who do not take on more than they can do and do well, who prepare themselves well by inner preparation, by outer education, and devote themselves with great concentration to the achievement and the mighty creation that they will lay upon the altar of God now and in the hour of the victory of their ascension in the Light.

     Thus, meditate upon the sacred labor, for it is the very instrument of the success of both the human marriage and the divine. For the sacred labor is the means of self-expression, of self-esteem, of love, of livelihood, and of the drawing forth of the full resources and the power of love that attracts a mighty blessing from God for our families and our servants and our co-workers of this community.

     Beloved ones, therefore learn the technique by the inner tutoring of Almighty God with the World Teachers and your own Christ Self, and consider how you might best in this year of 1984 - a year of the Holy Spirit's appearing in your temples, if you are ready - bring forth a contribution that is practical, that can be multiplied, that is useful to many, that serves the one-pointed cause of our beloved El Morya, and is the perpetual day-by-day celebration of the living birth of Jesus Christ the Bethlehem babe, the master of age thirty-three, the child and the child-man, the sage, the teacher, the preacher, the avatar - and also, of the one who has come in the Second Coming.

     My understanding of the second coming of Christ is the descent of Omega, the Mother flame. The first coming is the delivery of the impetus of Alpha; and in the ending, the second coming, at the conclusion of the two-thousand-year dispensation, is the sealing of that dispensation in the light of Omega.

     Thus you have been taught that you have come to fulfill the mission of Jesus Christ by the fulfillment of the Judgment itself and his Words and his Works and the true interpretation of his Teaching. Now, therefore, understand this: that it is by the Mother flame of Omega that you will actually do these things that Jesus has brought to your heart.

     Why, Omega is the Word! Omega is the fire and the Shakti of Alpha! Omega is the Word whereby Elohim created the worlds. Thus, the passing of the Mother flame is also for the ending of your own cycles and the sign to you at inner levels that the Woman clothed with the Sun does appear in this hour and in this age, that you might also balance your karma, fulfill all things, and return to God.

     Thus, every marriage in this Church Universal and Triumphant is the dedication of lifestreams to their perpetual ascension in the Light, the ongoing spirals of eternity. It is a foundation which can become the means of liberation and ought never to be the enslavement of one partner by the other to the human will or to the tyrant of the dweller on the threshold. Beware, therefore, the desecration of the holy vow by any and all inharmony and a failure to submit every disagreement to the point of the eternal Logos.

     Thus, understand, O soul - each individual one as Keeper of the Flame worldwide, as you are the bearer of the lamp of Omega unto your God, your Mighty I AM Presence - that the circle of union is drawn around about you, and you are intended each one to be a living candle containing the fullness of both. In that circle of oneness, no chela may defile the Christ, the I AM THAT I AM, the Person of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, or the Mother - with impunity. For each time that golden light of divine harmony is violated by inner discord, therefore at that moment, one is no longer a focus on earth of the candlelight of Alpha and Omega.

     I tell you, whether the soul alone with God or souls together united in that aloneness with God, without the sustainment of Alpha and Omega in the earth, this world would crumble and decay and be no more. Since you have observed so many signs of decay and degeneration in recent decades, you understand that the old order passes away by the law of disintegration whereby atoms and molecules disassociate one from another. For the matrices into which they have been cast by the children of God or the betrayers of the Word are either no longer useful to their original purpose or never were acceptable in the first place.

     Thus, disintegration in itself is the sign that, beneath, a new light of resurrection is rising. And therefore souls of light who understand the process of Good Friday and the crucifixion know that the earth, too, must die and be resurrected - even as the individual soul must go through and pass through the initiation of the dark night of the soul and the dark night of the Spirit. And no marriage or friendship or association anywhere can in any way be a part of this initiation which is taken solely and alone in the inner temple with Maitreya.

     Thus, beloved hearts, the respect for each one's path and the necessity for bringing forth the elements of one's own person - even if it be to choose not to be the lesser self - must be understood by those who live together in a community of the Holy Spirit. The freedom must be given to the individual to sort out his identity without one or another or a spouse or a family member immediately putting down that one before he has had the opportunity to sort out for himself the right way, the right path, or the right decision. Thus patience has her perfect work and perfect love, as praying for one another in love works wonders that argument will never achieve. Therefore the victory of this day is not in this day, but when you come to that point of your fiftieth anniversary - and that a life lived in God-harmony. That is the victory, from the beginning unto the ending.

     And therefore, from one who has walked the earth many times in the way of service to God, I counsel you that whenever the inner path is neglected, the outer household and family will suffer. Therefore, consider the economy of thy life and that of thy household, each and every one, and do not fill thyself or thy life or thy household with so many things to take care of and so many things to do that the logical excuse comes forth from the carnal mind: "You no longer have time to pray, time to study, time to be a chela. You must be successful and by your success you will demonstrate God."

     Well, it may be true as long as you do not put the cart before the horse. As long as the kingdom of God is first, then all victories, both spiritual and physical, will surely follow. Therefore, let thy soul be lavished with light from thy Presence. And in receiving that light, take it not for granted, but conserve it.

     You who would be ministering servants, I call you, for the spiral is unleashed from the heart of the Blessed Virgin in this hour. And beginning January 1, 1984, we will stand with the World Teachers and the Blessed Mother to train here our ministering servants in a program ongoing - not divided as in quarters of Summit University, but a program which may be personally directed and planned for each individual lifestream and for their path and karmic responsibilities.

     This must begin in that sacred hour, and those who can serve and work and study at Camelot will receive those courses and those directions which are forthcoming. We have received your applications and the desire of your hearts expressed most tenderly and lovingly to be on the path of ministering servant. All who have applied are received in the heart of Jesus, who has said, "Many are called, but few are chosen."6

     The Master's interpretation of this word, "Many are called, but few are chosen," is that many may study to show themselves approved unto God7 but not all will receive the fullness of the benediction of the ministry. For this will come according to initiations passed rather than a set number of courses engaged in.

     Understand that service and a practical program of learning the responsibilities of the ministry will be given. Therefore, let those who are eager come. For with Morya our beloved, the Lady Kuan Yin will begin to show how the path of the ministering servant begins with chelaship in the will of God and is crowned by the flame of mercy, always extended by the right hand of the givingness of the ministering servant.

     The ministering servant may give mercy without end, beloved, because he has first achieved attainment as a disciplined chela of the will of God who has been merciless with his own human creation and merciful toward his own living Saviour.

     Thus, those who are the disciplined ones understand that they must always be more disciplined than those whom they serve. Not with expectation does the ministering servant serve but as the fulfillment of the dharma of the Buddha.

     I seal you now in this hour of love as the blessed Mary would come to enter your hearts.

     This dictation by Lanello was delivered through the Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Christmas Eve, December 24, 1983, at Camelot.


Footnotes:

1 Six couples exchanged marriage vows in the Chapel of the Holy Grail preceding the Christmas Eve service. In preparation for the candlelight vigil held during the dictations of Lanello and Mother Mary, the messenger called the brides and bridegrooms to kneel at the altar, where she lit each one's candle with her own - ignited from the Altar of Invocation. The twelve then carried the flame to the congregation as the passing of the torch of the World Mother for the keeping of the vigil for the birth and protection of the holy Christ children.
