How sweet are the initiatic fires blazing as a star of hope in the firmament of identity, filling the cup of consciousness with the joy and the love radiance of the Eternal!
As though I were your foster father, I am come this night to bring you the comfort of the eternal God. You call me the Initiator, and so I AM, by His grace resident within you. For there are compensating factors resident within man correspondent to that which is above.
Tonight, mindful of the tenderness of the love of the students for the eternal Presence, mindful of the consonance of the universe, I AM here to impact Light against Darkness and to produce the comfort of the Holy Spirit and the divine radiance in the cup of man's God-charity - the cup that considers his neighbor and the positioning of grace in his consciousness as of paramount import.
Let me, then, ask of you a tenderness in spirit, a pliability in feelings, a receptivity in consciousness to the descending arc from on high. For God hath heard the calls of his children for deliverance, and he is prepared to initiate various individuals in a greater measure of the extension of divine reality into the world of men, that men may be made aware of the magnificent God Presence anchored within the fires of the heart.
I see the golden light pulsing and rising, shedding its majesty over mountaintop, and the blending of the dark purple as it also yields to the glow of the golden light. And I see the students coming from afar, students filled with hearts of devotion whose auras are light - clear light - and the majesty that is cupped within the soul to produce the fragrance of immortal wholeness because the soul yields its mortal identity (its corruptible self) unto the incorruptible pliability of cosmic grace.
The hands of God, then, descending over the forcefield of the soul changes the magnetic emanations and removes from the consciousness those brutal manifestations of carnal viciousness, replacing it all by the Love/Light and the supremacy of cosmic grace. Again and again we turn our consciousness to grace, for grace is the fulfilling of the pact of identity. It is a fulfilling of realization. It is the surrender of the soul to the sweet bliss of infinite compassion.
God is nigh thee this night and the pulsations of his light are in thyself. And his light is able to transmute, by its transmission of cosmic identity, the fullness of his love for his children. And the world shall be blessed this night because of the cup ye drink and because of the love ye share and because of the bread of the Word that ye break together now.
Our hearts are overflowing with devotion. For with me tonight are twelve masters known to many of you whom I shall not identify by request - their request. They are pouring their love, together with the angelic hosts, into this convocation of seeking and loving men and women - those who understand that the folds of identity are captured in the light-radiance of the garments of initiation which men wear when they understand the capacity of heaven to drape them in those garments and to see that there is quietude in the world of men, that it is the quietude of the divine peace that descends and holds them in the divine embrace - a love ray from on high that touches the tenderness of the divine coal to the pliability of the mortal altar of manifestation. God is here! And he is within you. And out of the burning fires of his reality will come a new birth of identity.
Puny men, men of lesser comprehension caught in the travails of the psychic net, engage in spiritualistic and psychic practices. These individuals shall be cut free from our spiritual organizations below as they have been cut free above. For we are concerned with welding together, under the gnosis of cosmic identity and cosmic reality, a body of divine servers who will unswervingly give their faith and devotion to the eternal purposes of our Brotherhood; and they cannot do it by psychic communion or by involvement in the practices of black magic, voodooism, or witchcraft. Even variance is not permitted, but only the constancy of an unwavering star that stands before the soul as the power to roll back the veils of obscurity and reveal the wholeness of the divine intent to the manifest person below awaiting the divine hand and ministrations of the universal Christ.
O Divine Master of all, universal God Presence, descend now upon each and every monad and let them feel the divine embrace of thy own compassion for their wholeness! They are the children of thy dawn.
And when the fiat of Mercy passed through the universal fires and invoked creative manifestation, behold, the sons of God were there. In embryonic consciousness, they danced in the Spirit of the living flame and beheld the turning universes and magnificent galaxies as thou didst cause them to spring forth. And Pleiades, the seat of our Brotherhood, did itself spring forth magnificently full-blown from thy heart flame. And behold the bands of Orion and the magnificence of Arcturus! All are a part of macrocosmic Love. And through the farthest reaches of untrammeled space, thy angelic host pass with a speed that transcends the lightning. And the flame that descends from above is the fire of resurrection.
Resurgens Christus,1
O magnificent power within the soul,
Flame of the resurrection to make men whole,
Descend now in flaming glow-ray!
Envelop consciousness with the power of thy love,
And sustain these momentums descending from above
Until men are able to drop the veils of Matter and say:
Let these pass, they are not myself
But only those shadow shapes,
Those things which I have worn -
And they are outworn garments.
I shall now reach up
And accept from the hand of my Beloved
Those garments of Christ-radiance that are my own.
I shall claim them!
They possess the power to atone for all the weaknesses to which the flesh has been prey and to replace it all by the love of the Infinite and the understanding that this world is but a schoolroom in the great universal outpouring of divine purpose and that here we do culture men and mature them for those realms above, where, entering into cosmic and universal service of divine love, they shall understand that worlds yet far more embryonic than this one require the ministrations of those who will be prepared by cosmic initiation to come unto those worlds and to serve, even as men may now understand the meaning of the universal and the far-flung worlds that are being revealed.
Therefore, tonight, as I speak to you it is by the power of universal compassion to reveal to you that the magnificent Macrocosmic/microcosmic pattern of universal interchange is a system so great as to free you, if you will accept it, from all of the fears to which the human race has been prey, to teach every one of you that there is a magnificent exchange program whereby advanced souls from other systems of worlds are brought here into physical embodiment to teach and to manifest superiority to the human race, to show to men such superiority as almost defies the imagination - that these beings that come here are, upon their own worlds, but the norm, and each one of them has in him reborn those selfsame radiances of attained God-magnificence from those higher systems.
These are brought to the world of form here below to act as teachers to mankind in various phases of human consciousness. The outworking of artisanship in brass and iron, the working in marble and sculptury, the magnificent manifestation of great art - all of this, blessed ones, is the power of descending souls who come here, sometimes long since escaped from those rounds of human controls by which you are affected.
They are free when they come. Untrammeled, through the air they come clean of heart and pure; and oftentimes they take upon themselves the darkness of this planet. And whereas they render great service in bringing forth magnificent concepts of music from the angelic realms and manifestations of art from on high, they themselves sometimes become subjected to the activities of mankind's consciousness and they fall under the hammer of sexual depravity.
We want you to know, then, that the sacrifice that they make causes them to have to outwork a karma commensurate with human karma. And sometimes these souls who come completely unselfishly to your planet are captured in the net of delusion and are bound for at least seven rounds of embodiment upon this earth until they can escape from those conditions.
For there were giants in the earth in those days when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men; for they saw that they were fair, and they took them wives of all that they chose.2 And there were giants in the earth in those days - there was Og, King of Bashan, and others.3
And so, you know that the written record does espouse this which I have revealed and does declare it unto you, and your own hearts are able to understand it. For the earth is made up of a multitude of evolutions, not just one. And here upon this planet, in addition to many racial groups, there are also groups in various states of manifestation of consciousness. And therefore, the earth is a great school where all of the mingling and commingling of these individuals was intended to act as an abrasive upon the soul - a chastening upon the soul whereby the most magnificent qualities of unselfishness and godliness could be developed.
You are intended, then, O blessed people of this earth, to follow in the footsteps of the living Christ, to understand that in the hollow of his footsteps as he walked along the shores of the sea of Galilee, you can walk today in the footsteps of your Holy Christ Self. There can be born in you, anew and afresh, the flames of the altar of identity from on high. And you can understand that our Brotherhood in all of its hierarchial manifestation is a brotherhood of service devoted to mankind and doing the Father's will.
I, Maitreya, come to you, then, in the name of the flaming God of universal consciousness - I AM THAT I AM, I AM THAT I AM, I AM THAT I AM - to imbue you with the feeling in your feeling world, blessed ones, of what it means to have an I AM Presence. I am concerned that you will understand that your I AM Presence is your link with immortality, that it is the power by which you can wield the authority in your world and take dominion over those mortal foibles to which you have often yielded in the state of lesser realization.
Now I come! And I come to initiate those of you who are prepared to the realization that your God Presence is the fullness of infinite compassion and love at all times, that your Presence is leading you as a pillar of fire by night and a cloud of witness by day, that you will be taken through the parched ground and barrenness of mortal consciousness to the promised land of invincible Cosmic Christ victory where the illumination of those elysian fields of light will saturate your four lower bodies with the power of Christ-reality!
RESURGENS CHRISTUS!
Flow, majestic Light!
Flow, majestic Light!
Flow, majestic Light!
Saturate the cup of man's consciousness this night
With that flame that in honor bright
Will free the soul and cleanse it from deceit
That men may see the clear eyes of God
And the face of Eternity
Reflected even in the foam upon the wave,
That they may see it in the face of every little babe
And understand the sundering of the Law -
The Law that invokes a holy awe
Within the flame, within the mind, within the being of man
And engenders in him the realization
Of eternal Brotherhood.
I AM Maitreya! And my light goes forth, my arms go forth, my heart goes forth, my love goes forth unto humanity tonight to bring them into breathing, living awareness of their solar identity - the flame of God that is within!
How magnificent it is that you, blessed ones, are able to feel these pulsations of the Father's love. For his love is the love of eternity pulsing into the wells of time and invoking therein the bubbling joie de vivre, the flow, the buoyancy, the glow, the cosmic reality that separates man from mortal sterility and reveals compassionate reality to every one whose mind will accept my sword of light as I blaze it forth to you all to cauterize in you those abscesses of mortal doubt and disbelief and reveal for all time to come that the love-Son of God, the love-Sun of God, has rays whose power to raise your souls is invincible both now and forever.
Peace be with you. May faith be multiplied. May love be spread abroad in your hearts to end all dissimulative practices and to draw each one of you to the fires of the sun, to the love of the eternal God, and your sense tonight of your immortal victory!
