As you behold the light of illumination, it is as a spinning fire - a fire infolding itself.1 And within that fire, the rings of light are for the drawing in and the consuming of the dross of ignorance and for the impartation of wisdom.
Within the cylinder aflame there is the push-pull action of centrifugal/centri- petal force weaving light so that the flow into the center of the thousand-petaled lotus is for purification as well as for expansion of the illumined action of the Law.
You call me Maitreya. You call me the Great Initiator. How to initiate a planet that has not been trained for initiation, that is not aware of the Path as the all of life and as the Goal, the "Be-ness," in the heart of the Buddha!
When souls are not taught by their teachers the lessons of life, the purpose of life, and the fact that all experience is the testing of surrender to the Will of God, how can they be expected then to pass the tests that will prove whether they have the determination, the courage to stand alone and to espouse Truth?
Precious hearts, not more than one percent of the population of the earth at the present hour is passing the tests of hierarchy's initiations.2 We would increase that percentage, for we are constrained from going before cosmic councils to give such a report.
Therefore, we come before you. We apprise you of the fact that there is opportunity for training in the etheric retreats of the masters and that our flame is sponsoring the Ascended Master University. Throughout every course there is that golden thread spun from my heart - how to pass the initiation, the very next one that will come to your lifestream and then the next and the next. And as you know, for each one that you pass at least three more initiations can be given; for in the one is the pattern of the three.
And thus, there is a geometrization of initiation whereby the initiate comes to the place where he thinks that God perhaps wants him to be the juggler before the Virgin Mary, balancing these balls of initiation - twelve or twenty-four in number - until, when he comes to the peak of testing, he wonders, "Has any soul been here before? Has any soul passed this mark or, perchance, will I set a new record?"
I can assure you that many souls have passed that mark of the crucifixion, the resurrection, and the ascension. But I can also assure you that many more have bypassed that mark. It is easier to stay in bed, to roll over for another hour, than to get up and face the karma of the day - the substance that only you have the authority to transmute by the action of your heart flame.
It is easy to shirk responsibility, to slink from positions of authority. But those who are the winners, those who are victorious in the eleventh hour, do not shirk, do not smirk, do not fall back into the mass consciousness. They pursue. Ice and snow and rocky crevice will not keep them back! They will ascend to summit peaks and learn thereby commeasurement, whereby the smallness of man becomes the allness of God.
Elementals also receive the initiation of the Cosmic Christ. But the initiation of elemental life can only come to a certain level; and then all of nature, the entire evolution of the nature spirits, must wait upon the coming of the Christ in mankind. For mankind are intended to bear the scepter of the authority of the Christ mind, while elemental builders of form are servants of God and man in nature. The servant is not greater than his lord,3 and therefore the servant waits for his lord to pass the initiations that will move all of life higher in the spiral of being.
I focus the consciousness of the Cosmic Christ for every particle of matter. Contemplate that thought and then think of how you, too, can ensoul and impregnate matter with an infusion of the Christ mind. God has given into your heart the Light and the wonder of cosmic science. You have lived in the confines of mortal thinking, mortal feeling. You have lived in a world that has compartmen- talized your consciousness since birth. We come as the World Teachers to assist you to break the iron bands that would hold back the fire of the cosmic Light within the heart.
Roll them back! Roll them back! Roll them back!
Release that energy from the heart of each one!
Be not dismayed at the thunder of the voice of God. For the thunder and the lightning as the voice of Durga is the energy that breaks the iron bands of tyranny over the souls of the children of the Mother.
Blaze forth! Let the sword of the Cosmic Virgin be implanted upon Terra and let her go forth to slay the demons that assail the birth of the Christ in every heart!
Have you thought of the Divine Mother as being fierce in the defense of her children? Or is your image only of Mary rocking the infant child in tender love? That is the beautiful side of the Virgin that you see, but it is not the only side; for her beauty also extends into the realms of dark, dank density where the astral hordes dwell. Here comes the Cosmic Virgin to challenge the specters of the night before they reach the cradle of the newborn child!
The mother in all species will defend her young at all costs. The Flame of the Universal Mother, then, aligned with the fires of Shiva, the Holy Spirit, comes into prominence in the age as the banner of Maitreya is unfurled and as I declare and sound forth the challenge of the Cosmic Virgin to all fallen ones who think that they will repeat that holocaust and that cataclysm in this age. I tell you, as long as hearts do burn with fervor for the Mother Flame on this planet, They shall not prevail! They shall not assail the temples of the Most High God!
Let the legions of the Cosmic Christ come forth! Let the legions of the Cosmic Virgin descend! For earth in this hour is the recipient of reinforcements of lightbearers. And this home of Light shall be preserved as the eternal AUM if mankind respond and join the forces of Light for the greatest victory of all time and space.
Here you have the privilege to be counted among the living, so I say: Defend all that has gone before, all the work of the saints and sages and teachers in every land. Defend their honor, their mission, their momentum, as they place upon you now their momentum of overcoming victory.
I AM the Teacher of teachers. I would exalt the Light within you. Be prepared, for I come with the initiation that is for the victory of Life in the individual and in the age. Be prepared: For you, as the individual, and the planet as the collective individual, will be tested! The decisions that are made will determine the course of solar history.
I AM increasing the halo of your understanding.
