All of heaven is ablaze with God tonight, for the heavens rejoice to declare the glory of the LORD that descends into form. The praise of Christmas angels announcing the birth of the Christ Child is heard in every human heart and in every divine heart made permanent in God's heart.
I AM the consciousness of the Cosmic Christ, and in the center of the sphere of Being, I AM! And from that point I project out in all directions the awareness of God as Christ, as the Word incarnate. Where I am, I AM the precipitation - as Above, so below - of the Light from far-off worlds. For to be in the center of Cosmic Christ consciousness is to be aware simultaneously with the incarnation of the Christ.
There is a light that is in the sun that is yearning to manifest upon earth. There is a light that shall indeed come forth where souls are prepared to receive that light. And thus, the reward for service is more service. To those who have shown themselves worthy of bringing forth the Christ - to these is opportunity renewed every hour, every year, every day. And thus, heaven looks first to you, to the Mother of the Flame, to the Holy Family, to the community of the Holy Spirit to impart the most holy offering of avatars descending.
Before your free will, before your souls this night do the angels of record and angels of the LORD read the proclamation: "Opportunity to Bring Forth Christed Children."
And thus, not bypassing the Mother of the Flame and including all, the Lords of Karma give to you, one and all, the opportunity to elect to bring forth the Son of God. And if you by your free will shall determine to bypass the opportunity, then, as in the parable, our angels will go forth into the highways and byways of life - there to find those who are ready and willing to come to the marriage feast.1
Precious hearts, there is no question as we mark the decibels, the frequencies of minds contacting the Mind of the Cosmic Christ, that the greater majority of souls who are daily accomplishing this attunement is among the Keepers of the Flame and the followers of the ascended-master teachings the world around. This is not prejudice; this is not a lack of perspective. It is simply fact. And as you gaze with inner eye from inner realms, you can also see through the window of the soul how the manifestation of the Light is quickened in those who declare, I AM THAT I AM!
But they have sought out many inventions.2 Known by any other name, a rose smells as sweet. But known by any other name, the name of God does not evoke the power of God, the wisdom of God, the love of God. And therefore, there is a key that is locked in the name of God, I AM. And that key, the power of the spoken Word, is all that you have and all that you give that makes the difference in your contact of the Cosmic Christ consciousness.
And therefore, opportunity is given for you to elect to present yourselves a living sacrifice unto the LORD God Almighty.3 And to you I make known this hour that the comet of the century4 comes to foretell the birth of many Christed ones, many souls who are to descend within the coming twelvemonth. And thus, because preparations must be made, we shall not tarry in our announcement of this dispensation. For those who would apply and receive the seal of our approval and our blessing must do so speedily, that time and space might provide the cradle and the crucible for incoming souls.
Let your life, your very being, your very consciousness provide the nexus for the descent of lightbearers. The nexus is the place in the hourglass where the sand falls, grain by grain. The Christ is the nexus of man's being. As the Mediator, the Christed One stands between God and man. Your own Christed being, therefore, is the Mediator whereby you may receive into your being and consciousness souls of Light hallowed, waiting to come forth.
And I desire that this my message to you this night shall be published abroad in the Summit Beacon so that all who are watching and waiting for the Word of the LORD might have equal opportunity to respond to the marriage feast, to offer home and hearth for precious souls of Light.
The heavens declare the glory of the LORD! The earth receiveth the glory of the LORD!5 In giving and receiving, Life is born anew. And the rebirth of sacred spirals - of stars descending, wending in spirals of crystal fire mist - comes now as blessing and as the justice meted out to those who have given, not that they might receive; and therefore they shall receive.
Into the waiting cup
Of each consciousness uplifted
There comes the dewdrop rare,
The fragrance of angel prayer.
And angel wings Gentle and soft
Carry souls aloft
Into the air,
Into the sky.
And thus as mankind rise,
Angels descend -
And there is that holy rapture
Of meeting the Son of God
In the air.6
And man ascends And God descends.
And then in that place,
The six-pointed star of being
Becomes the star of Bethlehem
Marking the place
Where a God is born,
Where a Christ is born!
I AM the Initiator, testing you in the hour of victory! Shirk not responsibility. Shrink not from testing, but proclaim the Sacred Law! With rejoicing go forth to meet the challenge of fire at the eleventh hour of each day, of each year, of each cycle of fulfillment. For there I stand to welcome you, to offer you the opportunity to seal and make permanent the victory of a cycle. And this is a testing that must come to seal all other testings of all other hierarchies each step of the way.
Therefore, you can expect to greet me each day with:
Hail, Maitreya! Hail, Victory! Hail, Flame of God!
This is the call I like to hear! This is the call that will carry you through the year! This is the call that will make of us bosom friends of Light. For when I hear that call I stand forth to embrace you and to say: Now let us go forth, as hand in hand together we meet the challenge of the hour! I cannot pass your tests for you, but I can place my hand in yours and lend you the momentum of my consciousness and my flame.
Thus, hearts of infinite fire, I come to seal this class, to seal the energies. And I place about you my mantle as a sheath, a veil gossamer, sealing you in the ovoid fires of each release, each dictation, each lecture, each period of invocations. For with each increment, you have established a forcefield in an ovoid of light beautiful to behold. And if I might say, as the forerunner of the coming of the Christ and the resurrection tide, to look upon you as you sit side by side is to look upon a basket of Easter eggs all colored brightly and in pastels!
And so you see, the true meaning of the colored Easter eggs is that mankind should paint their auras with the colors of the causal body of the Cosmic Christ and therefore take part in the ritual of the resurrection. And the Easter-egg hunt is to teach the children to look for the secret rays, for the causal body, for the white fire core, and to have the joy of the discovery of the Christ consciousness, the proving of the Law. And then, when prizes are awarded for the one who finds the most Easter eggs, the child soul learns that there is a reward in heaven for each ring of the causal body with which he adorns the soul.
The ovoid of light that is placed around you (that you have established, that I now seal) is delicate and fragile. And as angels come suspended in the air, you would not have them, as it were, walking on eggs. And therefore, I seal you in protection of blue lightning, of white fire - a gossamer veil - so that as you go forth into the world this night to your homes, you will remain as Humpty Dumpty on the wall, and you will not have that great fall when all the king's horses and all the king's men cannot put Humpty Dumpty together again!
And this nursery rhyme illustrates to children that if they break their harmony, if they shatter the tube of light - that wall upon which man sits and has dominion - then there will be that great fall and they will have to begin again. They will not be able to put back together the same egg, but they will have to start anew the invocations, the building of the cone of fire to become once again an Easter egg to adorn the Cosmic Christ.
And so I have warned you in the simplicity whereby we also teach the children who descend into form as they gather in our retreats, the holy innocents, before taking embodiment. And this is why the little ones say, "Mommy, tell me a story!" And when you come upon a story that they have heard at etheric levels, they want to hear that story over and over and over again. And if you change one word, you will be corrected! For the little children have the word of Law engraven in their hearts and they know the rhythm of the spheres and the rhyme of the Law.
Therefore, see that you revere their holy awe. For I, Maitreya, do send forth the Light - not without warning that if you desire to sponsor souls, the next thirty-three years of your life must be kept in the vigil of Holy Mary as she walked with Jesus, sometimes beside him, sometimes from afar, but never neglecting to hold the immaculate concept for the Christ.
Mothers and fathers of the new age, your service to an incoming soul is not fulfilled until you have seen that one to the thirty-third year of ascension's goal. There come times along the way when you must give greater and greater freedom with the passing of the tests of the four lower bodies at age seven, fourteen, twenty-one, twenty-eight. And thus, gradually there is the breaking of the tie as the Christ is born and reborn; but never for a moment from near or from far shall you fail to daily invoke the Christ light for those whom you sponsor.
This is the meaning of being the Mother of God. To mother the flame of God incarnate is awesome. It is a responsibility of the ages. And therefore, precious ones, do not take lightly your vows, for you will be held accountable when you stand before the Lords of Karma at the conclusion of this life. And you will be questioned and you will see the record - what you have made of your opportunity to sponsor souls and to dedicate them to Gautama Buddha, to Jesus the Christ, to Kuthumi, and to the Cosmic Christ.
I, Maitreya, seal you in the energies of the all-seeing eye which you yourselves have invoked. I take that fiery emerald ray that glows upon you. And now I take my arm and I whirl that energy into a spiral that I now seal upon each of your third eyes. Each third eye now receives the concentrated action of spirals' configuration. And there is a niche of I-niche-I-action [initiation - "I, Maitreya, initiate Christ-action in you"] which you have gained if you have given diligence at this conclave - diligence, application, and seriousness in the Law.
And do you know the origin of that word serious? It comes from the God Star Siria, Surya - Sirius. And thus, precious hearts, you have heard it said that no one ever saw Jesus smile or laugh; nor is this recorded. I ask you, Why? It is because of his training on the God Star. Jesus had an inner joy and a sense of divine happiness, but he never for one second lost that attunement with the great God Star. He kept about his Father's business lest in a frivolous moment, in an off-guarded moment, one of these little ones might not have the forcefield of his protection and his shield.
Therefore, when you see the sternness of the Master's face, when you see the discipline of the Law, realize that if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly appear?7 If in the right use of the Law, you just come under the line and under the Law, then it is worth being serious about your calling, your election, and your mission.
I charge you, then, to regard life as a moment-by-moment opportunity to glorify the Christ, to give birth to the Christ. Waste not the hours or the moments. Let time and space count! Let it be said of Keepers of the Flame that every moment they spent in their final embodiment upon earth was spent in the service of man, in the glory of God, and in keeping the health, the sanity, the purity of the four lower bodies to maintain that service twenty-four hours a day.
Thus, take time for the necessary, but do not overly indulge in the human consciousness or you will see how the four lower bodies can become spoiled children, ever demanding more and more time, space, energy, and play and pleasure. Take care that your emotions are not constantly demanding energy and entertainment - or the mental body or the etheric body, in those moments of reverie and the going-over of the past or the future but not tethering to the need of the moment.
Take care that you exercise the physical form, but let it not become a god or the end of all living. For life must be lived beyond this world, and your tabernacle provides the preparation for the body celestial which shall one day in the not-too-distant future supersede the body terrestrial.8
I AM Maitreya! And I speak to you at the level of the Christ, which is the level of practicality. Have I said one word to you that is not practical? I ask you to consider and to review. Has my message gone off to far-off worlds, to visionary dreams, to items that are not on the current agenda of your overcoming?
The Christ consciousness is concerned with the here and the now, with the extending of comfort, and with the accomplishment of each holy vow which you have made at inner levels. Therefore, note well that the impractical consciousness, the idle dreamer, is not centered in the Christ. Watch, therefore, the individual who will tell you: "I am leaving the world! The world is a wicked place. The world is a dark place. I am going into the hills to meditate!" Watch that individual, for this is not the practicality of the Christ. The Christ is needed here in the valleys, here in the big cities, here where there is life.
Oh yes, there are moments when you go into the hills to pray. But did he stay? How long did he stay in the mountains? Long enough to offer prayer, thanksgiving, to renew and recharge his being, and then to look down upon the multitudes with compassion and to heal them.9
Come down from your lofty mountaintops! Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils! Freely ye have received, freely give.10 This is the mandate of the hour. Go into the highways and byways and be the practical manifestation of the Cosmic Christ! And if the children of God are hungry, feed them and then give them your sermon. But if they are not too hungry, give them your sermon first and then feed them second; for thereby you increase the appetite for the Word of God as they anticipate the repast that comes as the dessert of the main course that is the holy manna of the Almighty. And thus teach them that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.11
I represent to you Father when you are reaching up to become the Christ. And when you become the Christ, I represent to you Brother in Christ. And when you are seeking to raise up the feminine ray, then I provide the complement to that feminine ray as the action of the Holy Spirit. And when you manifest the Holy Spirit, then I appear as the Bride arrayed in white. And so, you see, the mastery of the Cosmic Christ is of the four points of the City Foursquare and of the four sides of the four lower bodies. And thus, the mark of the Cosmic Christ consciousness and of one who has attained it is that you become all things to all people.12
Have you ever noticed the varying needs of mankind - how sometimes you feel adequate to supply them, at other times totally inadequate? I say, then, call to me in the consciousness of the Cosmic Christ that you might provide the complement to whatever level of consciousness mankind have attained. And then you will see how wholeness can manifest as you supply each human need.
For you will notice in your disciples - and they are indeed the disciples of Christ and of God and not of your outer self - that some may have three points of the Law, some five, some the whole nine and ten points of the Law. In each and every case, as you have the mastery on the five fingers of each hand and as you count your decrees on those five fingers of the secret rays, you will know which action of the Law can surround that one to give that one the sense of the wholeness of God.
Thus have many declared, when coming into the presence of our messenger, that they cannot remember the questions they had, the problems they had, their concerns. For in the presence of the messenger of God is the fullness of hierarchy that is the answer to every human need and the complement to a partial identity.
And therefore, in grace do you find that holy contact in the fount of the Mother flame whereby for moments, for hours, for days you experience wholeness; and that wholeness is etched upon your soul. And as you part with the cosmic cross of white fire - the consciousness of the Christ - between you, you find that you have the courage to renew your application, to pursue that same wholeness which you knew for a time, for a space. Therefore, note well that as one among you and many among you have attained, so all can attain to the wholeness of God in man.
Hierarchy is encouraged with the fullness of the Presence in the Motherhouse, with the Presence of the Holy Spirit, and with the pilgrimage that you have made to this place. I can assure you that each sacrifice that has been made by each one of you has been dutifully noted by the angels of record. And the angels are encouraged and they look forward with anticipation to marking again upon the record in the Book of Life those who successfully make their way through the alchemical union, through the practice of the Presence, to our New Year's conclave in Mexico City.
Heaven bids you welcome! Mary the Mother bids you welcome to the noble shrine founded there through her appearance to Juan Diego. This is the place marked for the spiral of the feminine ray in this entire hemisphere. And thus, the apparition of the Sacred Virgin to humble heart can occur again and again.
Mary the Mother sends you there on a mission of transmutation to clear the way for that focus to expand and to include the children of the seventh root race13 and the evolutions of South America in the divine embrace. For wisdom is the yearning of souls, the calling of their hearts. Wisdom is needed that individuals might rise to become sealed in that Cosmic Christ awareness of the Cosmic Christ consciousness.
Therefore, many events sacred in the annals of your soul will take place as you make the pilgrimage and attend our conference. Not all that takes place will be known to you ere you make your ascension in this life, but one day you will see how each pilgrim step counted as a mark of victory for souls to come.
I place in your hands a little white book. It is a book of prayers recited by Jesus and Mary and Joseph as they came together each evening to adore the Father, the Mother, the Son, the Holy Spirit as they gave their adorations for the Christian dispensation. These prayers have never been released at the physical octave but we are making them available to you, to your soul.
And as you take them to your heart, you will find that the record of these prayers will be given to you as you make your daily communion with Jesus and Mary and Saint Germain. Thus, little by little, as the soul memorizes the prayers of the Holy Family, you will find a filtering to your outer consciousness of phrases, words, lines, or feelings of the tremendous momentum of adoration held in the heart of those who kept sacred the Holy Trinity.
I ask you, as you receive the impressions from the little white book edged in gold, that you write them down. For you will see that as life passes, as the cycles unfold, it will be like filling in a jigsaw puzzle - one day a line here, one day a line there. And you will find that by and by you will have completed prayers that were offered by these holy ones. And these are special prayers for you alone to keep in the sacredness of the secret rays, as Mary kept all these things and hid them in her heart;14 so you shall use these prayers for the holy Christ children now aborning.
In the sign of victory, in the march triumphant, in the hallelujah of angel choirs, I take my leave of you. And I seal this class at inner levels in the fiery ovoid of the sacred being of the Divine Mother. And I bid you, one and all, Adieu.
