I would like to speak to you this evening about the first time I became aware of Gautama Buddha as a presence of world force. It was when I was detained at National Airport in our nation's capital very early in my training as a Messenger. And as I was seated there - I was alone and waiting while Mark was tending to some business - I closed my eyes and I began to meditate on Gautama Buddha, and the music that played in the airport over the loudspeaker was the music that we sing to "Precious Gautama."
And as I was seated there, I was aware that Gautama Buddha had actually entered the airport. He entered there to make his presence known and felt to me, and he communicated to me a very important message. It was a message that has stayed with me all of the years of my mission. He communicated to me the urgency of the hour and the fact that the world and its conditions were hanging in the balance and these conditions could go in either direction.
He communicated to me out of the intimation of his heart. He communicated to me out of the all-knowingness of his mind. In other words, standing in the presence of Lord Gautama, I was drawn into the sphere of his being and I became the knower. I knew what he knew because he drew me to the point of his awareness.
And so, one can remember such an experience as a conversation. It was that but far more than that because I was contained in his vision of the world. And I saw for that period the world as he saw it. I saw the burden and the sorrow. We don't so much identify sorrow with the Masters and yet we hear reports of various statues of Mother Mary or Jesus perpetually crying. We hear of the burden of Mother Mary. And we realize that in their identification with humanity, as their beings and their auras mesh with world pain, they also experience sorrow.
And so this communion with Gautama Buddha was the awareness of world conditions - how far the mast of the ship was bowed down by the storm, how much it would take to right it again and how very important is the place of the individual in this configuration. And he was pointing to myself as the individual as he would point to each and every one of you. And what he showed me made it very apparent to me that the decisions I would make, the course I would take as a Messenger, could make a great difference and that my nonchoosing of that course would have certain dire effects and setbacks.
It is out of that perception of Gautama and much teaching from El Morya and Saint Germain on the world geopolitical configuration that I have sought to impress upon all of our students for many years just how important you are as an individual in holding the balance of the planet. And this spark of initiation and illumination has carried far across the earth through this ministry. And this is why thousands of people today understand the Law of the One and the real import of the individual who is becoming the fullness of the presence of the Lord of the World.
It is because this has been communicated that we are a Body of God effective in world service. It is because it has been communicated not humanly, either in a humanistic or humanitarian way, but from the Lord of the World whose intimations on this subject never cease through the thread of contact that he maintains with the threefold flame of the heart of everyone on earth.
Some are sensitive to this impulse and some are not on that wavelength. And I think that the line is drawn precisely at that point where the individual has fulfilled the sense of selfhood, is at peace with himself, is not torn and sawn asunder and divided by emotional and psychological problems - all of which stem from an over self-concern, an over preoccupation with "me" and "mine" and "my problems" and "my this" and "my that" - whether they are physical or emotional.
When we can get beyond the frame of these perpetual distractions and therefore have an ear for someone else's needs, we begin to hear the needs of a planet. And we begin to hear those needs communicated to us through our threefold flame by the Lord of the World. This concern heightens our determination to know precisely what are the conditions on the planet and what are those things that are specifically encroaching upon the territory of God, the time and space of God.
There are some crises that are of the type that will always be there - as Jesus said when he was anointed with the spikenard, "The poor you have with you always."1 We will always have certain global problems; they have been here from the beginning.
And then there are other global problems that are so fierce and so burdensome - things taking place today in Congress or in the White House, in the State Department, at the CIA, things taking place in Moscow - which are actually in motion, and unless checked will alter our future and the future of our children, almost irreparably. And it will take a great deal to move the mountains of oppression and the deprivation of freedoms that will be the result of what is going on today.
Surya's final dictation from the Easter conference tells us of the tremendous opportunity we have in making the calls for the judgment of the bottom ten percent of the dark ones of the earth.2 Archangel Michael tells us of the great urgency of the hour, that he will have nothing else but victory, and that we must be as determined as he is to have that light and that help go to the Afghans.3 When we realize that every day is a crossroads and every day is a turning point and every day someone is making decisions that will affect our lives, we come to the point of knowing that it is very important that we be current in the news and be educated so as to know the calls that we must make.
One of the things I would like to bring to your hearts today is that I feel for many years (we might even say since the ascension of our beloved Mark) there have beset us as an organization, me personally, and all of our co-workers, certain dire problems - challenges to the very office of the Messenger, to the corporation itself, challenges to the financial and legal structure by various individuals who have come desirous of seizing power and occupying positions of power to the destruction of both the office of the Messenger as well as that of the disciple, to the destruction of the Teachings and the organization. (Some of these self-styled enemies have told me to my face and in writing that they were sent to destroy me and vowed unto the death to do it. Unbelievable! Of course, they and the force they have aligned themselves with have no power!) We have been through twelve years of expansion and glorious fulfillment and yet we have had to meet the challenges of those situations that threatened our right to exist and to represent the Great White Brotherhood.
And the greatest burden, to me, in all of this is not those problems but the fact that those problems, being so serious, have occupied a major part of our attention and decree work so that we could not direct a greater service toward those world conditions that are so imminent and so pending which Gautama Buddha communicated to me early in the 1960s.
And so I feel that as an organization and as a body of chelas worldwide today, we have reached a certain point of mastery and fearlessness, a tremendous decree momentum, an ability to roll back these encroachments and these various threats that come in lawsuits or the media or the betrayals or whatever they may be.
Personally, I feel greatly strengthened and greatly possessed of a consciousness of God that is not moved by whatever the world may do. I feel you also share that consciousness. And if at any moment you may become like Peter, fearful of sinking beneath the waves, you need only reach for the outstretched hand of the Master, go to the altar, the Teaching, read a Pearl, contact the Messenger, and you know again that perfect peace and equanimity that the Brotherhood has with us.
Truly my only lamentation concerning these burdens has been to the Lords of Karma and to the Masters: "Just think of how I might be spending my hours directing my attention to these world conditions when, instead, the attention and the decree work must be occupied so close to home concerning those things that do not seem to be turning points in the world but unless handled they may become turning points."
I believe, then, with Saint Germain's Ascension Day and our celebration of that day on May 1st that we now have a reprieve and an opportunity to stump Europe, to move across North America, to publish books, and to have a tremendous July conference. As you know, it will be at Camelot to save every ounce of work time at the Ranch for the building and for the meeting of Archangel Michael's "lifeline" of January 1, 1987.4
Having the conferences in Los Angeles allows us to attract many new people from the cities who do not have to journey so far to find out what we're all about. So it will be a conference dedicated to new people and, of course, whenever we have such a conference those of you who are students of some standing have a perfect opportunity to witness and to give forth the Teaching. So I see this moment of victory as a time when once again we may focus on those things that are a pressing need.
I feel that the greatest problem we face today, the problem on which all other problems are hung, is the international capitalist/communist conspiracy (as I have dubbed it, the ICCC), including that of the international bankers, which is prophesied in the Book of Revelation.
I have given to you many dissertations on this subject under the headings of "Mother's Manifesto" and the Coming Revolution in Higher Consciousness which you may find useful to review. Surya has called upon us to give decrees on that which is the most dangerous and that which is the most threatening to world freedom.
I haven't had any comments or input from my staff or the field with recommendations as to those subjects and topics on which we ought to be making calls. We need organized information for prayer vigils. We need a watch on Congress, the bills that they are considering on defense. And the world movement needs to be united together in one force on each and every separate issue.
Updating this tremendous message and presence of our Gautama Buddha that took place early in the sixties, the presence that I feel from him and beloved Saint Germain this week is a communication of the tremendous power and rising tide of the momentum of the lightbearers and the fact that some of us may still have the perception that the problems in Nicaragua or El Salvador or Afghanistan or in Moscow or in the talks in Geneva are too far beyond us, or perhaps we think those who are the powers-that-be are so entrenched that they cannot be moved or that World Communism cannot be kicked out of the nations or that politicians who are anti-Christ - anti-Saint Germain, anti-Buddha, a force of anti-Maitreya - cannot be unseated.
The vision I have today is an update from that moment in National Airport. It is of thousands upon thousands of lightbearers such as yourselves, who only a few years ago were perhaps only mildly aware of Gautama Buddha, who now acknowledge him as the Lord of the World and as a moving force and presence and loved one in your lives for whom you will journey hundreds of miles and gather in this chapel on a day called Wesak, which you probably never heard of as children but now has become one of the holiest days of the year - that moment of the enlightenment of the one who was to take the torch of Sanat Kumara and whose own office enabled Lord Maitreya to be the Coming Buddha who is come into our midst.
It is a very momentous occasion, then, when we realize that in the years of your discipleship you have become bodhisattvas - disciples becoming the Buddha and the Mother - and that you have entered the path of God-mastery taught by the Ascended Masters of the Great White Brotherhood. And wherever you are, the fact that you are here today signifies that you have entered it as opposed to being outside of it watching the devotees pass by, almost like a parade that did not involve you because it was not understandable.
Moving on that track, a trackless track, you are disciples, then. And you know daily what your encounters are. And you have a perception of what is acceptable and right in the presence of Almighty God, your I AM Presence, and what is not. You have become your own disciplinarians. You have entered into the grace of God. You know where to go for help and you know how to become one with your own Saviour, your own Holy Christ Self, and to invoke the Word.
So my message to you of my awareness as a Messenger as to the posture of our movement today is that concentrating together on areas of the most urgent necessity to the Brotherhood, by the grace of God, nothing can stop the rolling momentum of this worldwide movement and force. It is a tremendous light - not of ourselves but, yes, of ourselves because we have chosen to engage ourselves in the Mind of the Buddha, to be extensions of Maitreya, to be that wondrous presence - the heart, head, hands and feet of Jesus Christ - the Buddha Saint Issa.
I previewed for you recently a movie which is most essential to give a dynamic picture of what is at hand. It is a movie on Andrei Sakharov covering his years from 1968 to 1984.5 This movie was put out last year. I never heard of it, but it is in our possession today. And it shows this man's determination to take a stand for freedom and for witnessing. The greatest physicist the Soviet Union has ever produced, who invented for the Soviet Union the hydrogen bomb, is now confined and in poor health with his wife in Gorki - a city closed to all outsiders.
The systematic dethroning of this man, one of the highest and key figures in the entire country, is almost like the systematic destruction of the lightbearers of this country. The same tactics are used, the same disinformation, the use of the press, the assembling of forces against the freedom fighter or the lightbearer by the spreading of false information to ultimately steer public opinion against the individual so that when the state takes action against him they will have the vote of the people behind them by their planned prior indoctrination. This movie shows the insidiousness of World Communism and yet it shows that the system can be beat by the individual and by the forces of Light such as those that gathered with Sakharov and his wife.
It shows that this state of consciousness is a creeping cancer on the face of the earth and, though it may not be called Communism, the same force is abroad in America today with public acceptance, and that the totalitarianism of the forces of the astral plane are present as we view them whether in their blatant abuse of the power of the media and the sacred freedom of the press or in the taking of land or the manipulation of our money and in many other areas such as the labor unions. And I am sure we can name them - from the rock culture to drugs to what is working to break down society in the absence of respect for our leaders and in the type of unseemly behavior some of them engage in or in the spinelessness that Archangel Michael commented on.
What we see, then, is that the individual can stand and still stand. But in the end, if there is not a movement and a revolution behind him, although he has made his statement and he has won the Nobel Peace Prize, that individual is still confined to Gorki and for all intents and purposes is silenced because he stands alone as Thomas More and Becket and Francis Bacon and Jesus and Gautama have also stood alone.
So always there comes back to me from the heart of Gautama Buddha the message that this experiment in world freedom is unique because none of us is standing alone against world conditions. We are a Brotherhood of Light - one for all and all for one.
We may call upon one another for reinforcement, for help, for prayer. We have the force of our voice, we have the force of letter writing. We have the tremendous force of our dynamic decrees and we have the backing of the Ascended Masters of the Great White Brotherhood. The fact of the matter is that our presence is actually far more powerful than it is felt or than it is known because it is the power of the inner working of God.
You know, some people when they are fighting Communism are very shy about being religious or getting involved in such things as prayer, the deep meditation of the heart and dynamic decrees. But it is long past the hour when one can be a mere academician or an intellectual, having all of the systems down pat, able to discourse on them and prove why World Communism doesn't work.
It is a proven fact that World Communism doesn't work and it has been proven many times over. The defeat of the forces of Death and Hell which support World Communism through the capitalists and the international bankers comes through the violet transmuting flame at the altar of God, and it comes through the sponsorship of the Brotherhood.
We could be an organization gathered together independently of the Great White Brotherhood but using its Teachings. We could have inherited Theosophy or the Arcane School or any of these organizations started by the Masters. But without the mantle, without the sponsorship, without the Great White Brotherhood hovering with us, we still would make little real spiritual progress. In other words, even the mantra itself without the sponsorship of the Guru who gave the mantra is like the fruit cut from the vine. It no longer has the feeding of that energy and light of the parent tree. So our decrees are powerful because the Ascended Masters gave them to us and because we function under their dominion and under their sponsorship.
So the world vision I bring to you is the fact that the individual sitting under his own vine and fig tree today can make all the difference - the individual chela who is right with his God, with his I AM Presence, who is not in a state of compromise, who has not said in his heart, "Well, this road is too difficult," or "I am not going to fulfill the requirements of being a Keeper of the Flame. I'll take what I need. I don't need to say my decrees" and so forth. That state of mind puts oneself outside of the sponsorship of the Brotherhood and does not make one a world pillar functioning at the level that we need to function to defeat the entire planetary conspiracy.
But when you are right with your I AM Presence and you feel that mantle and swaddling garment around you of the office of chela, when you exercise the "sword" of the chela - the spoken Word - when you come into the aura of Gautama Buddha and become the knower through the assimilation of his presence, that Christ in you is truly the saviour of the world.
When you can come to that place of graduating from narrow-mindedness, from the preoccupation with oneself and one's little world and "What will I do today and tomorrow?" and "How will I plan for my future?" and so forth - which are legitimate concerns but should not be all-consuming - when you come to that point of the world consciousness of the Lord of the World, when you actually place yourself under the canopy of his office and you know as Clara Louise Kieninger knew as the first Mother of the Flame that she had to be up every day at 4:00 a.m. to give her decrees for the world's children for three or four hours - when you know that Almighty God and Mother Mary and Lord Gautama take those calls you give and change the planet with them, when you have enough self-esteem and self-love and self-appreciation to know that you count with God on earth as much as Archangel Michael and El Morya count to us in heaven - you will see this planet change in the twinkling of an eye.
And this is the vision and the consciousness I want to share with you - not the sense that it's never going to happen or that it won't happen in the near future and we'll be huddled here on our ranch and everything will fall apart. I want you to have the sense that the golden age is imminent and that no matter who they are, no matter how high is their position of power in the United States or the Soviet Union or China or any nation, no matter how evil they are, the agents of the world conspiracy of darkness and the evil force they represent in this galaxy (and beyond this galaxy to many other galaxies, to the whole Matter cosmos) can be and are being defeated by the dynamic decree of the Word today.
And this is the amazing realization of the chela on the path of the Great White Brotherhood: that we are revolutionaries of the Spirit, that the revolution is in full swing and we must not let ourselves be defeated by distractions and diversions.
It's like the story that a teacher told me before I ever met Mark Prophet of how those who used to go out in their whaling ships distracted the whales from overturning those ships. They'd throw out big barrels and let them float on the sea. And the whales who were being harpooned would come and attack the barrels. They'd wear themselves out attacking the barrels until they were exhausted and were then easily taken by man, their predator.
So if we do not focus on the issues that must be dealt with and driven back until they are totally driven back, if we let ourselves get nebulous, give sessions of Astrea's 10.14 decree, give sessions of calls to Archangel Michael and the violet flame, but do not demand in a certain area that this certain bill in Congress or this certain move by the Soviets or this certain move in our government be dealt with by the hosts of the Lord, if we do not keep on top of it and become experts on it and watch it every day and watch the effect our decrees have on it, then we are not recognizing the power of God that is in our hands.
Now, some of you are doing well - you're researching, you're bringing to the attention of others certain conditions. And you focus on this and you focus on that and that's great. But what I am saying is that the whole movement, the whole planet together as one on each given weekend should be focusing on a certain issue or a certain two or three issues and we should be pouring our hearts out on that issue as if our lives depended upon it.
Sometimes I wonder how it is so easy for us to feel that we are far away from these problems. Even Solzhenitsyn said when he moved to America, went to New England and settled with his family in the Vermont countryside to write his books, how easy it is to be in America and to forget the urgency of the problems. I felt that way when I saw this movie on Sakharov last evening. Here is a man who round the clock for many years went out and demonstrated, put his life on the line, has been imprisoned ("confined") and probably treated with mind-altering drugs. And he and his wife are suffering and millions are suffering in the Soviet bloc today, and yet I can waste an hour. I can for two hours forget that Sakharov is suffering and that this man has given his life for freedom - for me.
I don't want to forget. And I don't want you to forget. And I want our lives to show it and our devotion at the altar on Saturday night to prove it.6
I happened to pick up a weekly news magazine and my eye caught a story of Jews in America talking about how they really won in the face of the evil that came through the Nazis because they are the survivors. And one woman talked about this marvelous Swede that I am sure you've heard about. His name is Raoul Wallenberg. And he dared go in, right in the very midst of the taking of the Jews, and pluck the Jews from the very hands of the Nazis on the way to the camps, and brought them into these houses of protection and filtered them out and got them into the free world.
Today Raoul Wallenberg is somewhere in the Soviet Union where he has been detained since the end of the war. The Allies have never effectively demanded that this man be freed. He is the great hero in the war as to the situation of the Nazis and the Jews in concentration camps. And for all the power that we have as a nation, we have never prevailed upon Stalin or his successors in Moscow all these years.
Some of the finest people that have ever lived for Christ are still detained. And Wrangel Island, which is lawfully the property of the United States of America, is occupied by the Soviet Union today. There are Soviet prison camps on that island, and it could very well be that Raoul Wallenberg (and others just as heroic) is there.7 This is in the Arctic Ocean northwest of Alaska. The Soviets co-opted this island, and we have never demanded that they get out.
Such horrendous injustices as these are transpiring. I am sure that right now through your head there might pass a hundred different situations that you would like to decree on. And we could all fire every which way 360 degrees from our position and accomplish not very much. This is to me the purpose of Surya - the great wisdom he brought to us from the Central Sun, from the Court of the Sacred Fire, from that point of God-government. That imminence of his presence together with Lord Gautama makes us to know that focusing together on these situations, we can win.
We spent a weekend on the Mafia; the Mafia has never been the same. They have lost as not before. A couple of Christmases ago, we worked on traffic accidents and drunk driving. There wasn't a single death due to a traffic accident over Christmas in the Los Angeles area. No one could understand how that happened. We went after cocaine, and there have never been so many cocaine busts.
But, you see, they regroup, and we have to follow up. We have to sense these cycles and know when it's time to move again, when it's time to have our vigils on that subject. And we have to prove that we are the most privileged and the most enlightened, the most loved, the most worthy of lifestreams on the planet.
We have to realize that but for the grace of God we could be today in the Soviet Union in a prison camp somewhere. We could be a mother in Red China who is forced to abort her baby. We could be having to fight with our hands in Afghanistan, El Salvador or Nicaragua.
By what favor did Almighty God allow us to be born here? Was it because we are better than all of these people? I don't think so. I think it's because we demanded an opportunity and that we ourselves may have a very ancient and intricate karma that we needed a chance to balance.
And God said, "OK, instead of going through all of this war and torture in the nations that are angry, I'll send you to the free world and to America and I'll lead you to the Teachings of the Ascended Masters and I will give you the key whereby you can help the others. Whereas, by the decree of your karma, you might have been there in outer darkness, you may come and be here in the Light. And instead of going through that, you can make the calls for your brothers and sisters who are going through it. And you can atone for all these past embodiments and win your ascension in the process."
It wasn't so very long ago that I myself can remember being in the clutches of these fallen ones in various embodiments - not long at all - totally helpless and at their mercy. And in those hours and moments we do cry out and we do ask God to help us and give us an opportunity. And the moment we're free, of course, physically, psychologically, spiritually and in every way, we enjoy that freedom and we tend to forget just how bleak it was when we were the ones being tormented or put out of embodiment.
For every one of us sitting here and sitting in our sanctuaries throughout the world today, there are at least ten thousand people who are crying out to God, to Jesus, and to that Universal Christ and that Christ Self of us and saying, "Help us. Where is justice? Where is God? Why are we being left to suffer in this manner? Why doesn't God help us? Why doesn't America help us?"
And what I feel is so very much a part of our mission is to not lose the sense of this and to think that the only thing we're here to do is to build the Inner Retreat or publish the books or give our lectures or have a daily decree session - where we put in the time and say so many decrees but really do not focus on an issue and wrestle with it. Because when you really get into a certain subject in your decree work - whether it's Communism or it's drugs in the high schools of Montana or whatever it is - and you really go after it and you really strike with those judgment calls into the core of those astral forces preying upon the innocent, you feel the backlash. And you know you have aroused those serpents.
And they start attacking, don't they? And they upset your family. And things get really hectic. And your children may have problems, and your loved ones. And somehow, even if it isn't a conscious awareness, you start shying away from those decrees that are really going to be effective.
Keepers of the Flame, you must go after them! Whatever the cost, you have to be willing to pay the price. Because somebody upstairs has already paid it for you. And that's why you're in the United States of America in this activity today. And if you do the job right as you have been taught and give the calls to Archangel Michael from his rosary,8 your families will grow in Light's joy and not be overcome but confidently victorious.
This is the year of the release of great Light as well as the Dark Cycle of humanity's returning karma under the initiations of the Taurus/Scorpio Solar Hierarchies.9 The great attainment of Scorpio is that of the third eye. You can visualize a laser beam of the emerald ray coming out of your Holy Christ Self and passing through the third eye and going into the very nests of serpents. The Taurus energy is a tremendous earth energy. It means our judgment calls penetrate the earth element and have the power behind them of Gautama Buddha, the Lord of the World.
Scorpio/Taurus is a very violated line as we chart it on the cosmic clock taught to us by Mother Mary.10 Scorpio energies have been used to bring about death and destruction and the sting of sudden destruction coming through war or the plots of the dark forces, such as media attacks, lawsuits, etc.
Whereas the pure Scorpio energy is highly creative, almost unlimited in its potential and dynamism and can be used for the highest spiritual attainment and development of the third eye and release of light in the chakras, the perversion of Scorpio is a very deadly energy; it involves the perversion of the life-force, the base chakra. It spawns such things out of Death and Hell as the perversions of sex, the squandering of the life-force that comes through drugs and rock music by our youth, and so forth. And, of course, it's an energy of extreme self-concern. And those who are involved in drugs and sexual perversions and rock music have their attention entirely upon themselves and their pleasure cult.
That influence comes from the planet called Hedron, which was closest to the sun. It's a destroyed planet like Maldek. Mark used to speak about Hedron and how those who embodied on earth from Hedron exported their pleasure cult to this planet.
So the line of Scorpio is a year when we can get totally involved with ourselves in a very perverted way - too much self-attention, too much body attention, too much preening or whatever. Or it's a year when we conquer the lower self and rise to take dominion in the octaves of our Higher Consciousness.
And, of course, Taurus can find us locked into a human stubbornness whereby we take all of the light of the Lord of the World into ourselves to prove to this person or that person that we're right and they're wrong and that we're going to have our way and we're going to have our day - that microscopic consciousness, that minuscule little cup, that narrow room that digs in its heels and says, "I am who I am. I am going to be who I want to be. And I am not going to be pushed around by this Master or this Messenger or this Teaching, and I am going to do what I want to do." This energy properly channeled and fired by the divine will can become the God-determination to conquer oneself and one's world for Good to the glory of God.
So, Scorpio/Taurus is the most creative, the most dynamic, and the greatest open door to the turning of the tide. It's on the ruby cross - the 1/7 and 4/10 axes (axis). It is a very difficult cross because Love is the key and the only way to become an adept, to become a master, is through Love.
True adeptship is the path of Love. Gautama Buddha is an adept and more than an adept. One cannot pass the nexus to Almighty God and His powers, including His physical powers in you, except one pass through the door of the Christ. "I AM the open door which no man can shut. I AM the way. No man cometh to the Father but by me."11 These are the words of Jesus. He was speaking of the Universal Christ, the nexus of our being and his. We cannot get to the door or pass through the door without love.
So the mastery of love on this 10/4 axis and on the 1/7 Aquarius/Leo axis in this year is a challenge to master those elements of stubbornness, self-love, hatred, ingratitude (which means insensitivity, inappreciation) - these elements which are found in every fallen angel and every rebel against God. They are there. So first we encounter the anti-Buddha "dweller on the threshold"12 in our own worlds. We have to slay it because we cannot take on the planet if we are going to carry around the same elements in ourselves that are in the forces of the international capitalist/communist conspiracy.
And so this day of the Dark Cycle is really the day of the great Light Cycle - April 23rd, and now the 4th of May. This is a year when all of the perverseness, all of the backwardness, all of the self-concerns and selfishness and so forth will come bubbling up from the most ancient of records of your being - records that go back to Atlantis, back to Lemuria. I've seen them on the planet, I've seen them on the fire ring, I've seen the fallen ones, and I don't want you to get snarled in this energy.
I want you to be victors in this year. I want you to be mighty conquerors. I want you to get past that point of the release of your daily allotment of karma - first thing in the morning when you arise at dawn and take your decree book to transmute it - before it gets the best of you and your day. Get past your human creation and tackle those forces that are destroying our children, our youth, our civilization, and our world.
And they will destroy it, as Surya said, if they are not checked. This is why we have the authorization from Surya, from Alpha and Omega to demand the judgment of that bottom ten percent who have vowed to destroy us and the world, and by their very vow now have invoked upon themselves this judgment. So, you see, if we don't understand what is the focus, we miss the victory in our own consciousness and we therefore are not equipped to defeat it in the world.
I want to see you become super knights and ladies of the flame. I want to see you become so powerful in your decree work that you absolutely know that that fiat has gone forth, that God will fulfill it with all of His armies and saints, and the dark ones will go down and the golden age will come in. And we will see it in our lifetime. We will see it because we have the vision in the etheric octave. We see through the mists of the dying world to the golden age present with us. And we are so conscious of it that the force of our minds and our hearts, like that of Francis Bacon, is able to shape the consciousness of a planet. And this is our reason for living.
In a few short years we will be somewhere else. But I tell you, wherever that somewhere else is, we are going to say we lived a life most useful, heroic - a better life than we ever lived in any previous embodiment and all lives put together. We did more for God. We can stand there and say, "Because I lived and did that work and submitted that human creation to the flame, today children and twin flames and Masters are enjoying planet Earth, and the victory is there."
I see you all as Buddhas. And a planet having this many Buddhas cannot do anything but ascend! But, you see, you must see yourself as that Buddha and stop the moment you enter into the pettiness of the former self.
Nothing is worth the loss of this planet. But more terrible than the loss of the planet is to sit somewhere in some kingdom, some retreat, some level of Light, and to know that because we did not do our part that planet was lost. And we will have to go on and prove on some other planet, some other system, this defeat of the sinister force.
I cannot imagine a fate more terrible than arriving on the other side of the octave and knowing that I did not take full advantage of having had a physical body, having had the Inner Retreat, having had you, having had an organization, having had the power - the real power of God - and not having wielded it, not having mobilized the planet, not having mobilized the Keepers of the Flame to this one-pointedness.
We are an army - a tremendous army of Light. We are Maitreya's troops. The Revelation of Jesus to Saint John says he - the Faithful and True who is called The Word - wins the war with his legions.13 We are those legions! And our counterparts are the saints in heaven, and they need us - they need our voice.
The vision I want to give you in this sign of Scorpio/Taurus and the full moon of Wesak is the vision of the Lord's victory today because you live your life as Christ on earth.
"The Summit Lighthouse Sheds its Radiance O'er All the Wroldto Manifest as Pearls of Wisdom"
This sermon was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elisabeth Clare Prophet on Wesak, May 4, 1985, prior to the dictation "Time Is Not" by Gautama Buddha, at Deer Park Chapel, Royal Teton Ranch, Montana.
