The Lord's Christmas Day Address
The people that walked in darkness have seen a Great Light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the Light shined. ...
For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever.
The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
O Hearts Afire with the Fervor of Love,
I rejoice to receive you into my heart, a chamber prepared which I have prepared for you, even as you have prepared this place for me and for the coming of my spokesman and Messenger.
O blessed children of the Christmas dawn, O sons of Uriel Archangel! I greet thee and salute thee, each and every one, Keepers of the Flame. Now know that you are seated in the flaming resurrection of the Christ Mass.
As we celebrate the coming of the Divine Teacher in your midst, descending also into your temple through your Holy Christ Self, as we celebrate the office and the mantle waiting to be placed upon your shoulders as you study to show yourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the word of Truth1 - so, beloved, we also come in the Great Spirit of the Resurrection.
Know this, O beloved - that except the corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.2 Understand, beloved, that the seed lives on forever and is self-perpetuating.
Howbeit that the olive trees are yet there in Gethsemane which were there when I was there? And from those trees and many others the olives yet grow. The seed within itself that is in the base-of-the-spine chakra is the self-perpetuating life-force that, in its essence, permeates all of Nature. And yet a portion of the growth of the seed, it must die that the seed come forth again and again and again.
The meaning of this, then, is that the human tree of life must give way to the divine Tree of Life. And this laying down of the lesser life for the greater is truly the meaning of the Christmas Rose and your incarnation of the Word.
In a practical manner of speaking, it is possible to carry only so many groceries in two arms. Thus one makes choices daily what one can carry, what one cannot. I made my choices, beloved, in previous incarnations to lay aside those mantles, those offices, those karmas - to keep the one, the principle thing: the seed of everlasting Life. It was that seed in my heart [which was the very fervor and fire of my life in God] as I descended crying into the sky, "Lo, I AM come to do thy will, O God!"3
Beloved, as I have told you, this fiat was as the thrust of a rocket directing its course throughout a lifetime. Why? Because that which trembles in the veil of time and space is subject to dissolution.
This law I revealed to the tender young heart of this Messenger, who observed at the early age of seven through my eye that all things are in a state of decay and the only thing that lives forever is the light of the heart. Blessed ones, so much so that the Messenger's understanding of the unreality even of the Matter cosmos itself grew in her heart from the tender age of nine.
To walk, then, in the reality of God and to perceive intensely the unreality that burdens souls is the lot of everyone who would represent me as a world teacher and spokesman.
You may become as the apostle Paul if you so will it. Take this day the chapter [in Lords of the Seven Rays] on the Chohan Hilarion and his incarnations.4 Read it. Read it, beloved, in moments of waiting or tarrying. Understand the journeying of a soul, Saul of Tarsus - polarized hot against the Christians, polarized then by conversion to a path of apostleship in my service. Understand that the power of conversion of the Holy Spirit through the Maha Chohan and through the Seven Chohans is available to you.
Do you say to me, "My Lord, I am already converted"? Yea, ye are converted, but not all - even as I said to Peter, "Ye are clean, but not all."5 I seek the conversion of every cell and atom, every identity of every prior incarnation. I seek the conversion of the totality of self, and swiftly of the most recalcitrant portion of the self. That which is not polarized left or right, plus or minus, has not the material for conversion. Blessed ones, some upon this planet sneak and hide from God, for they think they will not be subject to tethering to any law if they are neither hot nor cold.6
Yes, beloved, the opportunity for the conversion of each individual chakra is upon you this day through the new opportunities opened in the universities of the Spirit, which spiral was initiated at the hour of the ascension of Lanello.7 And the opening of the temple doors by the power of Mother Mary, by the power of God, is unto you this opportunity whereby ultimately you shall gain all of the nine gifts of the Holy Ghost and become a chela of the Maha Chohan himself.
The book in your hand, Lords of the Seven Rays, is a guidebook to the putting on of the Spirit and to the Spirit's purging from within. Run to greet the Chohans who have come to this mountain of God as they did come many years ago to Shasta physically.8 So, while you are here, high in the hills of the Inner Retreat, the Chohans manifest themselves physically. No one is there to behold, but the presence of the seven rays is anchored in this moment physically in the soil of this land. And the trembling of this body as their rays are anchored is as a quivering of a quake itself.
Thus, beloved, is it for a purpose? I say, yea, it is for a purpose! - none other than to defeat Death and Hell. Thus, the preface to our coming is the darkest dark night of the Spirit, of tragedy for some on earth and some associated with this activity who have not understood what is the path of the Great White Brotherhood and that those who espouse it must enter into a fervor and sustain it.
As the Messenger told one lukewarmed one who would come and serve in doubt, "Better that you go and serve in the Catholic Church, for to be lukewarm in the Community is a danger." And, beloved, she did. Thus, it is a wise decision to be in or out of the flame.
Thus, understand that if doubt be thy disease, seek and know the Chohans - seek and know the I AM Presence. If doubt be a disease that has already progressed in the mind, in the astral body, know that doubt is a creeping cancer. Doubt is always self-doubt. He who doubts himself doubts God where he is; therefore he shall never enter in - neither through this or that guru or activity, nor by separating himself from all. Beloved, the vibration of doubt and fear and unbelief is so treacherous that it, too, is the embroidery upon the hem of the suicide entity, who comes wearing the robe of Death.
Know this, beloved - that self-examination is healthy when it is accomplished under the spotlight of your I AM Presence and in connection with earnest study of the teachings we have published. Do you think it is for a casual cause that we have directed the Messenger and upheld her and staff to complete the publication of these books? I tell you, nay! It is for the saving of life and the little ones who embody that life who are pursued by the fiendish devils of Hell.
Blessed ones, sometimes you think, "If I do not pray, Archangel Michael will fill in the gap and maintain that arc of electric current between myself and God." Blessed ones, would that it were so! Blessed ones, were it so, a lifestream should not have passed from the screen of life this night and a family be bereft of mother, wife, and grandmother.
Do you see, beloved? Make the call! Utter it. Speak it in the night - anywhere! Make the call.
This morning I have directed the Messenger to write these words at various places on the publications - "MAKE THE CALL!" with the phone number of this Ranch - and then a note addressed to all those beset by depression, suicide, difficulties, unsurmountable problems: "MAKE THE CALL!"
And at the receiving end of that number, I desire responsible ones - all of you! For any one may pick up the phone when it rings and a life in distress hangs in the balance. You can call it a suicide hotline, if you will, but whatever, beloved, it is a Lifeline to the Presence through you unto those who flounder. Let us save those who know of us or have our books and teachings.
Above all, let the decree books themselves contain this message. And know, then, that immediately upon receiving that call, you may give good counsel and invocation, take the burden and the problem of a soul to your decrees, and within the moment or the hour see that the Messenger is aware to also make the call. Blessed hearts, we must save those who have touched the hem of our garment and yet whose hands, somehow enfeebled, are not able to clutch tightly to that garment.
There are tens of thousands who depend upon our word through the Messenger who have never affiliated with this movement. They read the books, beloved, and the magazines. Some see the videos or hear the tapes. But because they have not affiliated, because they are awakening as new shoots with no line of communication established, they do not understand when so great a Light comes upon them how great is the Darkness that will oppose that Light, that will gather round it for transmutation, as you have been taught.
Thus, beloved, let us offer our decrees to cut free those who are almost to the fount - almost in strong contact with the source of help when they need it. And then let us go beyond these and defend their loved ones and all who are tied to them. For every Lightbearer is a radiating Sun of God and that Sun shining forth stirs up Darkness, even as it blesses and heals. And therefore, those associated with disciples coming on the Path sometimes also come under the hand of the Son in a period of accelerated karma and adversity, and sometimes under direct opposition. Thus, you see, beloved, the net, the antahkarana of Life, is tied to many upon the planet.
Let us see, then, that the suicide entity that is angry for the great increase of Light and the specific calls for its binding does not, then, make further inroads into this activity; for it is the devil that stalks seeking whom he may devour.9
Blessed ones, the annihilation ray into Annihla10 begins right in the center of your heart this day as you pluck from yourself through the All-Seeing Eye of God all tendencies of indulgence that are the denial of your Christhood - whether these be physical, emotional, mental, or in the subconscious realms of the mind and memory. Realize that you must defeat the sinister force and Death and Hell before it knocks on the door, before it does come to tempt you to exit the screen of life. You must be prepared for the Adversary, for you have ample witness of many who have not been. It is like thinking to fasten the seatbelt after one sees the oncoming accident.
You see, beloved, the only antidote for Death is Life. And what is Life? It is the resurrection flame. It is the threefold flame in your heart, approximately at the two-thirds level of your temple - at the two-thirds level of the pyramid. Thus, you must build a pyramid of fire and be at that point of the resurrection flame. We desire nothing less this day for you than the fullness of the initiation of the resurrection. What must precede this, beloved, is the transfiguration. And the transfiguration follows, then, the passing through veils of karma, the trial and the judgment [which is a part] of the crucifixion of Christ in you, even persecution.
The greater the zeal of the LORD in you, the more accelerated will be your passage through these troubled waters. Testing, beloved, is necessary, that when the Light come you may be the master of the Light and defend it against the masters of deceit.
Let me, then, do for you what I desire to do as with great joy this day I hurl to you the Corona Class Lessons11 - and that is, beloved, to read to you from this precious book.
Kuthumi and I have written an entire section of chapters on the topic of your transfiguration and directed the Messenger to publish the article from The Coming Revolution on "Healing through the Transfiguration." This article is an immediate application of the teachings of these Pearls dictated to Mark:
Power of the Flame of the Transfiguration
Let us think upon the moment when Jesus took Peter, James, and John apart and was transfigured before them. That transfiguration was a prelude to his resurrection and his ascension. It was the celebration of the Light in his heart filling all his temple, even the very cells of his being. And so we contemplate the words of Jesus recorded in the Gospel of Mark.
The teaching on the path of the transfiguration, I, Jesus, have vouchsafed to these Messengers for you for your personal transfiguration. You will not find such teaching in outer physical manifestation available in the bookstalls of the world anywhere else on the planet. So you may know how much I have loved you, so you may know how much I have loved your Messengers.
And so she wrote as I taught her:
Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here which shall not taste of death till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
Mark wrote this as the first verse of the ninth chapter of his Gospel, preceding his description of the transfiguration.
It is a tremendous prophecy of the power of God's Light with us today. It means that we need not pass through the transition called death before we have received and internalized the kingdom of God - with its power.
God's kingdom is his consciousness. It is all-light, all-power, all-wisdom, and all-love. It is the Trinity in manifestation - yours to claim through the divine spark of your God-identity - the threefold flame in your heart. It is yours to exercise through the science of the spoken Word.
When we invoke the transfiguring Light of God, it intensifies his kingdom within us and increases the magnitude of the divine spark, one day to become the full manifestation of our own Higher Consciousness dwelling in us bodily.
Thus, beloved, the article continues with my interpretation of the event of the transfiguration, which did indeed give the revelation of the Ascended Masters themselves. For the disciples witnessed Elias with Moses talking with Jesus12 - two Ascended Masters conversing with him. This is the fundamental teaching of Christianity that is not taught by the fundamentalists. Thus, we are more "fundamental."
Beloved, you may read this teaching and read it in great love and consider in the long line of history what a Light this teaching is that the people who have walked in darkness for tens of thousands of years may see the Great Light.13
Blessed ones, the Chohans have come this day. For the delivery of so great a Light of so many books is in effect a chemicalization in the planet, and their physical presence is to hold the balance against the cataclysm [which could occur] of [caused by] so much Light entering the earth.
Understand this equation, beloved - the power of the zeal of the LORD and his teaching in these books, when it enters the heart for the conversion of the whole man, woman, and child, is the power to ultimately release that one from the toils and grips of Death and Hell, that no one who has seen this Light and received the Son and the Wonderful and the Counsellor14 in his temple may ever see death again without having first seen the kingdom of God and that kingdom come unto him with power.15
Do you know the meaning of this? Beloved, it means that in the transition of death, such a one who has received this Light may not become the prisoner of Hell or the astral plane but may go on to higher octaves and study for the full mastery and requirements of the ascension.
This book, then, sealed with the sign of Saint Francis,16 has been delivered by us hour by hour to the Messenger, as we have added to our original releases the truths and teachings for this decade and beyond. Thus, you will note and feel our presence and that of the Messenger Lanello, who also took from us our dictations and dictated them to your Mother.
Blessed ones, this book is divided into sections and I have personally directed the Messenger to place at the beginning of each section the full definition of the title of the section, that you might ponder the meaning and the root of the word which we have chosen for our topic - the first section being entitled "Correspondence." When you study the meaning of this word you will have a fuller and richer understanding of the teachings which follow.
And so the topics you will find are those that we have seen from the beginning which are most misunderstood, least taught, and which leave the true seeker in a muddled and muddied state of noncomprehension of the path of discipleship. Thus the titles of these sections are "Correspondence," "Purpose," "Transfiguration," "Sin," "Discipleship," "Habit," "Immortality," and "Being." Each section consists of six or seven dictations on that topic.
I have told the Messenger that nowhere in Christian writing does there exist today so sublime an exegesis on the topic of sin. I trust you will read this book as well as my Lost Teachings in order, for the chapters form a spiral of conversion of the chakras when read in order.17 Once you have read the books from beginning to end and understand them well, they become scripture wherein you open the book and read what is directed and take it in as a part of a spiral, a point of quickening again of that specific instruction.
Blessed and beloved ones, I seek entrée through the teachings released into the hearts of those who are faithful lovers of my Person, who call to me and pray to me and know me as their Master and Saviour. I am certain you know many wonderful hearts whose devotion to me is as the devotion of a Hindu to his guru, or of yourself to one of the Masters or the Messengers. They consider it blasphemy that any other should occupy a central position in their life; and in one sense this is an inner understanding of the Guru/chela relationship.
Beloved ones, I bear to you my burden this day - and it is that these hearts of Light and devoted ones will not enter the coil of the transfiguration, the resurrection, and the ascension when they well could if they had the knowledge [that is] in this book and of the violet flame. Thus, they may be consigned to reincarnate in a very difficult era of earth's history.
I ask you to pray for the cutting free of the Lightbearers whose hearts are one with mine in Christianity, in Judaism, in the movement of Islam and Hinduism, and especially among the cults of the false gurus and false pastors. I tell you, beloved, if all of the hearts that belong to me and Kuthumi and to Lanello and to your Mother were galvanized to this Teaching and their I AM Presence, the world itself would soon enter a paradise.
I, Jesus, consecrate this volume to the Divine Mother and her tutoring of the souls of our own.
Blessed Mary, O my Mother, we, the World Teachers, bow before the Light of God, thy Heart Immaculate. Receive our offering and that of the Messengers and the whole staff, who are the base of the pyramid of this endeavor and who comprise many lively stones18 of the whole pyramid.
Receive this, then, and use it that many souls of the priesthood and the holy orders, the dedicated ones, O my Mother, may understand the true meaning of their own religion and find their way to God and lead the precious children Home.
I thank thee, O my Mother, that thou dost always intercede for me before the Father, who I know will bless this offering and bless each heart who does receive it.
Beloved ones, I ask you to stand on this occasion.
On this day, the God and Goddess Meru have come from Lake Titicaca.19 The Goddess Meru stands to my right, the God Meru to my left. They have come on this occasion of the reunion of the Alpha and the Omega of our staff.20
They come now ready to establish a corridor of light from the etheric retreat over the Royal Teton Ranch to the etheric retreat of the Feminine Ray at Lake Titicaca. By this corridor of light, beloved, we open a highway whereby your calls may reach South America in time.
This light sealed in the heart of the God and Goddess Meru will be released so as not to be requalified by the human but so as to liberate and enlighten. These Teachings published in the South American languages and preached to the people will be the vehicle to anchor that light. Pray God that many shepherds respond and cease their rivalry and come out from among them to deliver the Word of this age.
Your calling is to keep the flame here, for if the flame be not kept, the protection of this retreat and the action of the corridor cannot be sustained. It is only now that the oneness [of the staff and the activity at the Royal Teton Ranch] has taken place that Helios and Vesta have decreed this dispensation.
Remember, then, the words of Arthur, who pleaded with the knights who would go out questing the Holy Grail. His admonishment was, "If you go forth, Camelot will be lost."21 Therefore, four were selected [by myself] to quest that Grail. Four went forth and had their experiences.22
Understand, beloved, that the chalice of Paul the Venetian - the crystal chalice of his heart presented to the Maha Chohan - consists of crystals containing, as in microchips, the complete inner blueprint of all those who must pass through the universities of the Spirit of the Seven Chohans unto the victory of the Holy Ghost. Thus, you will understand why the beloved Paul spent so many years working upon and perfecting that chalice.
Thank God that your electronic blueprint is sealed in crystal in a chalice now present at the retreat of the Maha Chohan. When you read about that event as described by Paul himself23 in the Lords of the Seven Rays, you will know a secret, then, from my heart that was not written for the mass distribution of that book.
Blessed ones, the God and Goddess Meru tarry here now. Their great momentum of victory over witchcraft, Death, Hell, and black magic is brought to bear in this hour on the threat of suicide worldwide as an open door to the devastation of the Fourth Horseman approaching. They are ready to turn back and bind the entire momentum of this force in answer to your call.
Keep the vigil, then, as you also seal your projects in the next fourteen days. Understand, beloved, that Soviet World Communism is organized suicide called the "beast of socialism." It is the enslavement of millions to the chains of Death, consented to by the many through the philosophy of suicide - the socialist/communist perversion of the Community of the Holy Spirit.
Thus, beloved, I come with an intensity of judgment that shall be fulfilled in answer to your call upon the false teachers, the false teachings and the suicide entity that is supported without a doubt by the International Capitalist/Communist Conspiracy [the ICCC], whose many tentacles reach into society - not the least of which is that which enters the medical profession and the healing arts preventing the full restoration of life, as could be the discovery of the hour accomplished through science and the resurrection flame.
The God and Goddess Meru, having stood thus far in etched profile in golden garments of light, have now placed themselves within golden white spheres. These spheres rise from this place to be sustained above it as their Presence with you.
I seal my Word to you this day, beloved, again with the call to "feed my sheep," but first, beloved, you must feed your own soul. Therefore, receive me now, for I will dine with you this Christmas Day. Let a place be mine at the side of the Messenger, that you may know how much I have loved each and every one of you and how I have given myself that she might be brought to your side in this hour.
Come and dine, beloved. Be nourished of the Word and the Work. Be nourished by holy hands preparing holy food consecrated, yes, by holy elementals.
Neglect not, then, the meat of the Spirit that I have prepared. I seal you with the sign of the cross of white fire.
May it be so that the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ do now descend to displace the kingdoms of this world.24 By the mighty figure-eight flow, so the City Foursquare descends into the temple of my sons and daughters!
Truly, the zeal of my Presence shall perform this work in you always, always, and always, my beloved Keepers of the Flame.
Messenger's Description of the Lord at the Conclusion of Christmas Dinner:
We thank beloved Jesus for being here at this Christmas Day dinner.
Our Lord is wearing a robe that is made of a homespun cloth. And it is several thicknesses but it is a very light cloth - almost like a cheesecloth but of a much finer quality, like a linen. And it has a gold trim about a square neck, fastening in the back. It is a full robe. And there are two lines of gold on the trim that decorates this off-white natural garment he is wearing.
He has a satin gold sash; the trim is a metallic gold. And in the center of it (it's less than half an inch wide), there is a design with two shades of blue. I can draw it but I couldn't describe it! It has kind of little arrows - like strips of arrows of a lighter and darker blue between the gold borders.
And so he is in his Presence as in the picture of Charles Sindelar, although the Sindelar picture is not too human in its rendition. But Jesus is very much a Person after that likeness. And he is standing now and raising his hands to bless you.
Jesus' head is raised to heaven and he is speaking in tongues of angels unto angels to whom he is calling and giving directions. He uses his hands in mudras in the release of the sacred fire of this day. And in the top of this room there are actually spiritual birds present like holy doves - and beyond the roof in the skies. And they are his messengers of Peace of the Holy Spirit.
And beyond this building there are companies of angels of various choirs to whom you have called in your rosaries and of various bands of the seven rays and the Holy Spirit. These angels tarry now in the bearing of the Christmas tidings.
Jesus is dissolving his form - a very, very present `physical' form as he has tarried with us - and moving on to a cosmic level of service.
We thank you, sweet Jesus, for your Presence.
God brings heaven so close to us that we can hardly be homesick for heaven.
And so the Lord has comforted his laborers in the vineyard with the parting comment spoken of himself and each one of us:
"I must work the works of Him that sent me." We know Jesus was sent by Lord Maitreya, the Representative of the Cosmic Christ, and that we have come full circle to that same Lord who has given us his Mystery School here at the Inner Retreat (see Pearls of Wisdom, vol. 27, no. 36) that we might return to Eden and here, following in his footsteps on the path of personal Christhood, "work the works of Him that sent me."
"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 Christmas Day, December 25, 1986, at the Royal Teton Ranch, Montana, USA. The Messenger's sermon before the dictation - "The Zeal of the Lord of Hosts" - included teaching from Isaiah 9:2, 6, 7; 10:1 - 27.
