     VI

     "I AM the New Jerusalem, You Are the New Jerusalem!"

     Ho! Everyone that thirsteth, come ye to the waters of everlasting Life that I AM.1

     I AM THAT I AM the Ascended Jesus Christ in your midst, proving the present availability of my Presence to enfold you as I am enfolding this Messenger, that you might receive my Word as I preached it to your very souls long ago in Galilee and in other places - and even in the uttermost parts of the earth.

     Beloved, truly I have preached to your souls then and now in all octaves of being. For I am come, the Presence of the LORD with you. And I come to redeem, and the redemption is of the Lost Teaching and the Lost Word. For here, then, is the restoration of the soul. As the dried fig is restored by the water of Life, so may the fullness of your soul now become plump. Having drunk of this water, may you live forever and not be turned aside, because you have heard a prognostication, to seek again and again predictions of your life.

     There is only one prediction in life, beloved. This one prediction in life is that you are here and now a potential of Spirit realizing itself. You are not a soul becoming the Spirit but the living Spirit itself internalizing and manifesting itself in the soul potential that has gone forth.

     Therefore, rise with me now to the level of the One and of your I AM Presence. Rise in meditation to that mighty sphere of Light and look down upon your soul, beloved, and see how you, as the I AM THAT I AM, direct life and mind and consciousness into this vessel that is the feminine potential - the waiting bride that now must appear and understand the self as this I AM.

     I place you, beloved, in the center of the I AM Presence, that for a moment you may realize being as God, as the masculine Spirit of Life. For you have long labored in the vineyard of life and of your own karma to perceive the self as the soul becoming. Well, beloved, the soul that is ever becoming and never being true Being is the soul that has lost a certain sense of the absoluteness of Life itself.

     Thus, come to know the value of meditation unto the Source that you might be one with the Great Projector of Being who has sent you forth. For unto the Omega out of the Alpha the I AM THAT I AM is one. This is the affirmation of Being that becomes the foundation of all endeavor. It is the a priori awareness, beloved - the awareness of that I AM. It is the premise of manifestation, of all precipitation, all knowing and interior life.

     Therefore, be seated in my meditation with you. For the rising of the soul and the resurrection thereof is more than a physical standing or even a standing for God. It is an inner walk. It may be an outer tribulation but through it there is an inner mounting of a spiral staircase.

     Yes, the inner gnosis is proven by the outer manifestation. But the outer manifestation, beloved, is not always proof of the inner gnosis. Therefore, take care that you stray not, remaining on the periphery of the circle as the builder in life and forgetting to retreat to my sacred heart and to your own.

     Remember that all building is for the building of the kingdom of God. Let us begin at beginnings, then, and come to the realization that it is the New Jerusalem, it is the City Foursquare that I AM.

     You see me as the figure of Christ. See me in the mystical sense of the causal body that expands infinitely as the sphere of Light. See me, then, as containing, manifesting the Holy City. See the Holy City as a part of myself. Then come to understand that your causal body is also the habitation of the Most High God. And when the I AM THAT I AM is truly where this heart [your heart] in manifestation is, you will see all around you the physical precipitation of the City Foursquare.

     See the likeness of that city in the etheric retreat of the Divine Mother over the Royal Teton Ranch.2 See it, then, as an etheric city waiting to be lowered into manifestation in your life. See it as every whit the potential, you see, of Buddhahood and Christhood.

     My way is the way of the cosmic cross of white fire consuming and occupying, you see, time and space until time and space is so completely occupied with the kingdom of heaven (which is the etheric octave) that time and space are no more, the framework thereof is not needed, and the kingdom of heaven has displaced the ignorance of the kingdoms of earth.

     Realize the power of the Word in you to displace illusion. Realize that the Word is a temple being built that is a man and, aye, more than a man - it is the fullness of manifestation. Let the extensions of thought become pillars in thy temple, and let the pillars of thy temple be enduring ones that you find thereafter when you make the exit from the physical form. The same pillars that you thought were physical are in reality spiritual.

     Beloved, some awaken after the transition called death and they are bereft of anything that they knew in this life. They enter a twilight zone that is barren, where the winds howl and have swept away any possible creation of man or God. For consciousness there had not become a magnet of the living sacred fire. Consciousness there, beloved, had not internalized the Word. Therefore nothing continued to be nothing, though in the world the individual may have appeared as being rich and increased with goods.3

     Then there are those who pass through the change [called death] and they enter into the mansion of the LORD. They enter into the house of Light and their surroundings are more than, greater than the humble abode of the earth. Truly, these know the meaning of the palace of Light.

     Therefore, build thee more stately mansions, O my soul. Let the priorities be unto eternity.

     We seek, then, no continuing city here4 for the sake of having a continuing city, but we seek a citadel of Light fully physical whose goal and reason for being shall have been the externalization of the causal body of man containing the New Jerusalem. Truly, a child's castle in the sand may be of greater endowment of Light by his devotion than the most splendid palaces of the seed of the wicked in the earth. Thus know that perfection is a quality of the heart with which the creation of man is endowed.

     Now, beloved, understand how the fallen ones traduced my own message, hence, in effect, me personally. They erected a church, an edifice, an institution that was a prison house for my sheep. This edifice did not bear likeness either to my causal body or to the New Jerusalem which John saw descending out of heaven from God.5 They used the form of the citadel to create the illusion of the authority and authenticity of the offices and hierarchies and eventually the orthodox tradition.

     Realize, beloved, that the structure was used to perpetuate that which was anti-Truth or anti-Christ in all who were imprisoned there - a Babylonian/Assyrian building of a tower of Babel, of Babylon the Great where souls would be lost and some of them not to find the living Word until the hour of the Redeemer and of the Holy Spirit and the coming of this dispensation today.

     Beloved ones, institutions are necessary, but the church we have called Church Universal and Triumphant is more than an institution. In manifestation it is the effect of the inner cause that is the New Jerusalem. In other words, beloved, it is drawn out of a blueprint and out of a reality in the kingdom of heaven that does already exist.

     And therefore, its extension in the earth is not merely a building that is consecrated or an institution or an organization that exists for the sake of being an organization, but it is in fact a citadel for the guarding of the mysteries. It is truly necessary in this age to create such an entity that comes from the Light6 of God. It is necessary to bring forth, then, those who are the white stones and the pillars of the Church that is the Holy City.

     Realize that this Church body is composed of living members, of communicants who drink of the water of eternal Life that I give hour upon hour and word by word in a release of light spoonfed to your souls and then coming in a torrent of initiation when you least expect it. For I still come as the thief in the night.7

     This is a living Church composed of living Christs, beloved. And the Church cannot be greater in the earth than the Body which comprises it. Know this, beloved, that my heart and the heart of Gautama, the heart of Mary, and the sponsors of this Church, even Saint Germain, have longed to see a tradition, an institution now be the reality of the causal body of each and every one of its members realized here below. This is the temple that shall endure and this is the Word and the Church of which I spake when I said, "The gates of hell shall not prevail against it."8

     You must be the fulfillment of this prophecy, beloved. You must understand how corporate bodies of institutions have sealed the Lost Teaching in a casket and also sealed the souls who have drunk of that poison of orthodoxy in the same casket.

     O beloved, it is the hour for the awakening of the dead, and the dead shall rise and they shall rise in the resurrection of the Lost Teaching and the Lost Word. And they shall rise in the newness of this divine self-awareness because those who have fought through these centuries and many tens of thousands of years against this entrenched false priesthood - who came in Lemuria, who came in Atlantis, who landed from other spheres upon this earth - will now step forth to complete and fulfill the victory of this battle.

     Beloved ones, it is the hour: it is the hour of the coming of the kingdom as the Church Universal and Triumphant manifest on earth. This is the instrumentation of the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood. It is the facilitator, if you will. It is the mediator, if you will. It is the channel and the nexus, if you will, of the Spirit of the Almighty in all manifestations of Life beyond to the people of this earth. And this edifice, beloved, is truly the temple made without hands.9 Today it exists as a vision and a piece of land as a white page.

     Therefore, I come with you to write upon that page. Hear me, O ye who are the faithful and true, and know that the cosmic cycles have come and it is the hour when the power of the Word within you may overthrow every denier of that Word in these little ones. Beloved, I tell you the hour is come and now is when you can fulfill finally the overthrow of the false priests once and again and forever, Amen! [27-sec. standing ovation]

     I come to banish doubt and fear, hopelessness and that cynicism that subtly invades the mind even as a soot, a fine dust that somehow separates you from the fullest potential of the joy of Christhood. It is as though the victors did not know it was their day, and they in some areas suffer a setback and a defeat because they simply do not charge with the legions of angels to deliver the message of the Everlasting Gospel.10

     Beloved, I AM determined to make it easier for you, and so is the Messenger and so are the staff and all from around the world who have joined in the release of this Word. And we will release in this very summer, from this very press so consecrated, books on the Lost Teachings of my life11 that you will take and run with and start your own revolution, beloved! [19-sec. applause]

     These books contain the message of the Two Witnesses,12 whose time has come. They contain, beloved, that which has been sent forth by us through the Messengers. They are indeed a part of the Everlasting Gospel and the ancient Word brought to the present hour and the Lost Teaching regained. They are indeed the continuing release of the Climb the Highest Mountain series. They come in a moment when the world needs the infusing of the divine spark. And, beloved, you the living Church, you the living Teacher and the living Word must deliver that message with all of the fiery essence of your heart's love! [16-sec. applause]

     I, Jesus, declare this day the warfare of my Spirit against the fallen angels who have intruded and insinuated themselves into the Mystical Body of my luminous presence and divine doctrine. I declare it! I summon my legions of angels from the heart of the living God. And they come, beloved, and they surround you now. And we shall rescue this Church from its persecution and the blasphemy against it, and we shall rescue every living soul upon earth from the Darkness of death and dying of the false teaching of the false hierarchy of Antichrist! [17-sec. applause]

     I beg you to implement my Word as the sacred sword. I ask you to consider the vision of the Faithful and True and the sword that proceeds out of his mouth.13 It is the two-edged sword of Truth that is spoken. Take this image of the Cosmic Christ and make it your own, beloved. Claim it and say it: "I AM the Faithful and True, The Word of God. And I go forth in the living Saviour Jesus Christ to conquer Death and Hell and the fallen angels' false theology!" [10-sec. applause]

     Claim the mantra "I AM Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending."14 For in this you affirm that here below as Above you are the beginning and the ending, the Father and the Mother, the author and the finisher of your mission on earth to restore the true and living Church, the New Jerusalem.

     This is your mission, beloved. Unto this cause Mark gave to you his life in the full measure of his cup which he gave you to drink, for he has given his Christhood unto ye all. And this living Messenger with you, the Ascended Master Mark - he stands with me, for he has been the tireless, fiery proponent of my true Teaching and was martyred even as Origen for proclaiming that Teaching, beloved.

     Now is the hour and the day of the vindication of the message that I gave to Origen, to my saints, to the victorious ones who dared to stand for Christ in them and in the universal Word. Forever and forever from the beginning, before Abraham was I AM,15 you are this living message! [14-sec. applause]

     I come to baptize you with this message. I come to release the Holy Spirit upon you that you might be empowered and go forth to proclaim it to every rock and tree and fellow along the way.

     Beloved, do not choose your audience. God has chosen whom he will draw in to become his pillars. Do not judge by outer judgment and do not seek to impress those who have held the citadels of orthodoxy these long thousands of years. We do not desire to convert them. Let them be converted if they will - and if they will not, we know the living Word is their judge.

     But go after the lost sheep of the house of Israel.16 Go after those who have been set aside from the path of true religion by these fallen angels and restore them to the Love, to the Comfort that I AM with them truly within their temple as the voice of the Good Shepherd.17 [14-sec. applause]

     I send you as I sent my apostles and disciples and the inner circle and the holy women. I send you, beloved, with the living Word. Let us take the year that is left from the dispensation of Lord Gautama.18 Let us take this year, then, and bring to the Heart of the Inner Retreat those whom you have found, those whom you have gone after. Bring them by personal caring and consolation in their hour of mourning and lamentation. Bring them, beloved, to the mountain of God, that I might baptize them also as communicants who drink of the water of eternal Life that I bear.

     These are my words to you, beloved. Let us see how souls of Light in the earth may count for such a brightness as to be the Light of the world. Let us show to the LORD God Almighty and to our Father and to our Mother and to our Lord Gautama that we can, even in this latest hour of earth's evolution of karma, truly bring the acceptable offering that will stay the hand of the LORD's judgment that may come upon the just and the unjust alike. [12-sec. applause]

     I cry to you in the name of my mother, Mary, who is also your mother. And I say to you, do not give up the salvation of a planet and the turning of a world and the Coming Revolution until the LORD himself will tell you that it is time to cease.

     Beloved, no representative of God has yet told you that the battle is o'er and that you have lost. We have preached to you a victory and we have said it is a victory of Light at inner levels that you must make your own. So we tell you it is a New Jerusalem that must be here for the world to see, and the New Jerusalem is you - is you, beloved! You are the living temple. And in your presence the world is inspired and drawn to that same living Church.

     O beloved, you are indeed the temple of the living God.19 Let it show. Let it shine. Let it radiate. Let it reach those who this day have lost hope that they will find a living Teacher, a living God, a lost Word and a Message that is truly true unto salvation. They have been discouraged. They have been invaded by demons. They have been taken out of the way by the false pastors both in the economy and in the government, and in the church.

     O beloved, I cry out for my own who have been led astray, the sweet children of the Light, who under the proper circumstances may grow to become tall pines in the earth where the birds of the air may come and nest, where the angels might tarry - the pine that is indeed the sign: The way is up the mountain of God! The way is up, ascending to the Great Causal Body of Light! The way is here below feeding his little ones! It is a way of noncondemnation. It is a way of Love that is a fiery judgment, of Love that binds the wolves in sheep's clothing,20 that dares to challenge those at any level or hierarchy in the earth.

     So it is done, beloved. So I AM come. So I AM here in the fullness of my Ascended Light Body. If you cannot see me, may you feel me. If you cannot feel me, may you hear me. Beloved, in any case I saturate your being with a light that must be a purging light. For those who would be the Christ must be ready for the purging of that which is not.

     It is a simple equation which you have accepted because you are the Keepers of the Flame of Liberty, because you have said: "I will be responsible. I will take account[ability] for my life but not my life alone. I am standing for my God in the fullness of joy to serve him in those who know not he is their Real Self." [13-sec. applause]

     Beloved, some bound by the chains of the orthodox tradition which they themselves forged in previous lives, some through fear and idolatry of the fallen angels have pointed the finger of the accuser of the brethren at the Messenger, saying all manner of accusations - one in particular, that the Messenger "fears the Bible."

     Beloved ones, this is precisely the point. The fallen ones fear the Gnosis of my Teaching and the real path of the mysteries. They have covered over their fear and accused another of that which is in their own hearts - the ultimate fear of Death and Hell that the mystery of the kingdom of God, as your Great Causal Body descending with my own, shall open now as a flower opens to give her fragrance, as the egg opens and the robin steps forth in spring. So the mystery is about to be revealed in your internalization of the Word.

     If anyone may challenge you, beloved, concerning your fear of scripture or of the Word of God, say: "I do not fear it. I AM the scripture. I AM the Word. I AM the living vine of Jesus Christ. And I have come down from heaven and I AM here with my Lord to show you the way Home!" [28-sec. applause]

     Let yourselves be quoted, beloved ones. Let these words whereby they will attempt to hang you for having some psychological deformity or depravity, let these words be the message that goes beyond their barbs and barbed-wire attempts to encase you. Let the word go forth and reach the hungry, the mouths opening, waiting for the mother to bring the food to the nest. They wait to hear the word that tells them you have the true message because you dare to proclaim it.

     Those who do not dare to proclaim my message do not truly have it in the interior self. For the Word itself is the empowerment of fearlessness flame, and the Word incarnate is always guarded by the Seven Archangels of the LORD's Presence. They must. They are assigned by God to guard the one who does embody the Word and fears not to proclaim it.

     Obey the Law, beloved, and invoke that protection of the Archangels and move forward fearlessly. For they have but a short time21 and their time is not! [13-sec. applause]

     May you be seated in the authority of the Light of God that will never fail you when you invoke it.

     I speak, then, beloved, of reaching the seeming unreachable ones obsessed by their illusions in the belief that that which is not real is real. When you have come to the point of futility in trying to break that shell of unreality, remember this Teaching that I give you. For the Father himself and the Lord have dealt with this equation of life and they have dealt with the Law. And the Law is called karma, beloved.

     Thus, the intransigence of the illusory ones who pursue vanity and all manner of vanities is met with the only possible answer that can be had for this condition of consciousness: personal and planetary karma descending to break the illusion of illusion. This is God's answer to the ancient conundrum.

     You may observe the signs of the times and consider that our Father has said it is the hour when, if their souls are to be saved,the Dark Cycle of their karma must come upon them. Thus, they are already in the throes of wrestling with an illusion that slowly is becoming to them verily an illusion - a slight awakening and then a fear and then back to sleep in the same old illusion.

     Beloved ones, people are thinking deeply about that which is upon them. When they must suddenly face death or the passing of a loved one or strange, horrendous scenes upon the earth that make no sense, they seek a true religion and an explanation.

     I beg you, and beg you without shame: feed them my Word. Their pastors rot away and they rot with them. Beloved, they do not give the answers. You are not midst their congregations. You have not heard their preaching of noncomfort.

     O beloved, it is a miserable situation that I report to you. Therefore, you are going after those whose encounter with karma has been like the rock that is descended upon them to break the shell of illusion. And now they are ready for the true and living Christ and the true religion. And therefore, they quickly go after one who has some grain of truth and often many times more error. And they become entrenched and enmeshed with false teachers. Intelligent and educated people are following false gurus today because somehow they complement their personality, which has not become the personality of Christ.

     This you must know and understand. It is an hour when the soul is in flux. It is in a state of alchemy whereby the Light of my presence and the Darkness of karma has forced an awakening, even if it be undesired. You must recognize when the soul is waiting to be revolutionized and magnetized to the polestar of its own I AM Presence.

     That is why you must not choose but be chosen and be my instrument and speak. And do not be concerned for the rejection but keep on preaching the Word, for the Word has power. And long after it has left your lips, it is still reaching hearts you know not of that one day appear at the gate, the East Gate of the Mystery School - yes, the East Gate of Eden come again, beloved. They will appear and you will say, "What hath God wrought?" But it is you who have preached the Word somewhere in some octave and that Word was a missile to their heart.

     Therefore, know the Word. Know what you preach, beloved. Do not assume that the Teaching is so simple that it requires no study. Then study how to deliver it. The lesson of the Maha Chohan, the Holy Spirit, to you, beloved, is that you must have this Holy Spirit to know what is the food that will restore life to an undernourished soul that is in a state of spiritual malnutrition.

     It is urgent, beloved. You have observed, and it is so, some entrapped in a false belief system. In all likelihood they will stay there because they do not know that they are suffering from an illusion and that they need the Living Bread that I AM.

     I have come down from heaven this day as this Living Bread.22 I have come down to place myself in the physical molecules of this presence. Therefore, beloved, know that I AM in the earth to save my own. [13-sec. applause]

     I give you this my Body and this my Blood in this hour. I have conveyed it to you and I continue to convey it as the living Word, that you might know that that Body and that Blood is not confined to a physical communion but rather is conveyed directly - chakra to chakra, heart to heart. Thus, eat and assimilate and become myself. It is the only way for the salvation of earth.

     I shall receive now those who would be baptized of me at the altar of the Holy Grail. Beloved ones, every baptism transferred through the Messenger is my own. Baptism, then, within my Church Universal and Triumphant is given once. May those who have never been baptized who seek to be communicants in this Church follow after the newborn and the infants to be presented by their parents.

     Rise now, beloved. I, Jesus, seal you in the mission to which you were sent by God. I seal you in the finishing of that which you have begun. For the Father has told me to tell you this day that he waits to receive you, your mission complete. He desires you to finish the work that you have begun with your twin flame, that He has begun in you as the initiation of your life spiral.

     Truly, the work of Him that sent me, beloved, must be finished by you. I took my ascension that I might sponsor you and hold the balance of your karma. Beloved, I took my ascension before this mission could be fulfilled so that you might be saved to fulfill it in me and of me as flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone, and body of my body.

     Beloved, this mission would have been completed were it not for the era of the warfare of the fallen angels declared against me, my Word, and my own. Thus, it is the hour when all of this is turned now back upon them. And it is upon them, and I say it in the power of Elohim! Two thousand years and, yea, a million years of their denial of my Christhood be upon them in this hour!

     Now run empowered by the Holy Ghost, for he is upon you. Receive him and be free.

     "The Summit Lighthouse Sheds Its Radiance O'er All the World to Manifest as Pearls of Wisdom."

     This dictation by Jesus Christ was delivered through the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Sunday, July 6, 1986, during Freedom 1986, a 5-day international conference for spiritual freedom held at Camelot, Los Angeles County, California, USA. In the service before the dictation, the Messenger read Matthew 13:1-23 on "The Sower" and delivered a lecture on Gnosticism.

I AM the Way
I AM the Truth
I AM the Life
I AM the Resurrection
I AM the Ascension in the Light

I AM a son of God
I AM the Light in the holy mountain of God
