Vol. 30 No. 9 - Beloved Archangel Uriel, Sanat Kumara, Enoch, and Lanello - March 1, 1987

     The LORD's Descent with Ten Thousand of His Saints!

     Joyous Hearts of the Central Sun -

     Not Alone Children but Sons and Daughters of the Sun:

     I AM Uriel Archangel! I stand in the midst of a holy people, even as I stand in the Presence of God.

     Lo! I AM come. And lo, above this city and vortex of light, that from the beginning was pillars of fire of Alpha and Omega, descends the LORD Sanat Kumara with, indeed, ten thousand of his saints.1 Lo! they descend. And the witness on this august occasion is none other than your own beloved father Enoch.

     Therefore, I stand here before this altar, and Enoch to my right. Our heads are raised on high, for we gaze upon this phenomenon of the descent of the LORD with ten thousand of his saints. Beloved, it is appropriate to greet them with shouts of acclamation and "Hail!" Leap, then, to touch the hem of their garments! [24-sec. standing ovation with joyous shouts]

     May you, then, be seated as I tell you of the purpose of their coming.

     Lo! he does come, and that for judgment. To this end, beloved, the hour has turned and the cycle for a golden age and the sweeping of a planet, ere it descend. Thus, if the judgment come not, the golden age shall not appear.

     Blessed hearts, as this very area and these two cities lie on an ancient focus of a fiery coil of light, so I say, these two centers are become now twin pillars - able, if ye will it so, to so contain the descent of the LORD's judgment that in fact, and in no other area could it be so predicted, the Lightbearers of the city may hold the light and contain the judgment that this may take place for the clearing of the city and the area that does indeed represent the white fire core of North America.

     Thus, with a fiery vortex the light does descend in anticipation of the release of the fourteen-month cycle of Serapis Bey in seven days. Blessed hearts, understand the geometry, understand the formula of God - that by grace this judgment descends where it need not cause earthquake or cataclysm, whether in the earth, the economy or the psyche of souls, but rather might be the plucking out of the tares from the wheat, the binding of the seed of the wicked and the seizing of astral hordes that would steal the light of sacred fire.

     Blessed ones, this day of judgment could not be held back. Yet, by the intercession of Keepers of the Flame and saints above, this judgment is not nationwide or continentwide but rather confined to an area of containment. For should it descend, beloved, upon the nation, many would fall and the Darkness should be far more grave!

     Thus, beloved, for the purity that is held, for the fiery coil of light sustaining the ancient record of purity here, it may come to pass that in response to the descent of the judgment begun here, Keepers of the Flame worldwide shall pour down a rain of violet flame and calls to Astrea in order that the effect of this judgment might be peaceful change without upheaval.

     Mind you, beloved, this is a fire that is intense and even of the wrath of God. It could not be turned back, for the people in a planetary sense have neglected their God and failed to respond to Saint Germain.

     Blessed ones, your Knight Commander is most solemn in this hour, as is beloved Jesus the LORD. And he does summon angels to brace, then, the earth and elemental life and to enfold you who have indeed accepted at inner levels the responsibility for holding the balance in this hour.

     Therefore, beloved, as this becomes the place of the instigation of the descent of Light for the binding of the Watcher and the Fallen One and even for the chastisement of the righteous, so it is the LORD's intent that the victorious outcome might expand in rings of light as many are wakened through the quickening power of God, as many come to understand that the purpose of this judgment as the Day of Vengeance of our God is as an atonement for a nation whose karma hangs heavy as ripened fruit, some of it now rotting upon the ground.

     You have heard, then, the word of the Goddess of Liberty - or shall hear it - that the judgment of the seed of the wicked could not be held back. Well, blessed hearts, because the faithful are in the earth, it has been held back for a nation and reserved for the place of the faithful, who are the true, who will not fail, then, to sustain the Light2 in this period of burden.

     Blessed ones, would it be so that we might see this occur city by city. It is an experiment. You might consider it a "chance" taken by the Cosmic Council. But, beloved hearts, we do not take chances. But we must be in fact obedient to cosmic law. And therefore, we have taken the course of the lesser of all "evils," hoping against hope that while the Law is satisfied the Lightbearers might make all the difference.

     Blessed hearts, there is not an ascended being or cosmic one or angel of God who could stand between this earth and karma.

     To whom much is given, much is expected!3 And therefore, I say to you, O America, I AM Uriel, Angel of the LORD's Judgment! And I AM in Him and He is in me. Beloved, I AM the Presence of the Cosmic Christ and LORD Jesus. I AM the Presence of the Christ of the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood. I AM the Messenger of your own Christ Self!

     Choose you this day whom ye will serve, America and Keepers of the Flame of Liberty! For the judgment will cleave asunder even a man from his false gods and a woman from her idolatry. Therefore, suffer the two-edged sword to descend and be thou made whole!

     I command you, O soul! Leap into the arms of Christhood and live forevermore in God, for as the embodiment of that Cosmic Christ Universal my hand is outstretched unto thee. And I shall not let thee go save thou withdraw by vibration or by that tug-of-war with an Archangel that does no longer allow me to enter the patterns of free will.

     You have come and you have endured in light. Therefore, this hallowed place I consecrate as a haven of safety, as a place sealed on the very line of property. And therefore, should anything foul or unclean assail thee as, lo, the angels of the LORD come to bind all that is not of the Light in this city, I say, then, come into this Home of Light. For this place and this alone I now guard as a pillar of fire, as a light extended. So let it be known that Keepers of the Flame of this city have a place of refuge.

     Blessed hearts, ye are blessed when ye are in the eye of God but more so when the eye of God is in thee. Let it be, then, a complete circle of devotion that fears not to ascend to his throne, as Enoch was so taken even by our bands.4 And fear not this descent of the LORD this night. For I tell you, the judgment is a liberation of those who love the Law of God. And it is a removal of those who have defiled it from the beginning unto the end. Let America, then, be free because a remnant in this city have stood and still stand.

     Remember, beloved, that in the eye of the vortex is peace and safety,5 and often on the periphery there is turmoil and chaos and old night. Thus, do not envy those of other cities where the darkness hangs so heavy but the judgment will not come until men, so burdened by karma, are pained and cry out for the judgment to descend, almost as they would rather know death than suffer in agony.

     Blessed hearts, there is indeed something to be said for the lightning storm and thunder descending at spiritual realms - for the aftermath of the clearing of the air.

     Thus, elemental life, go, then, to the four corners of this city! Go, then! And now hold the mighty sheet of the LORD. And at the sign of Sanat Kumara, so begin then to tremble the sheet until the shaking and the quaking of the earth does force the demons to be delivered out of the earth, out of the water, out of the air, out of their tampering with the nuclear fire.

     So, the LORD Sanat Kumara does declare! Hear him as he does cry out:

9.1  Beloved Sanat Kumara

Vol. 30 No. 9 - Beloved Sanat Kumara

     Let the Glory of the LORD Descend!

     O legions of the Central Sun, I, the Ancient of Days, decree it so. Affirming the Word in the Beginning, I affirm it in the Ending: I AM the Ancient of Days come to deliver my own!

     So, let the glory of the LORD descend now, O ye hosts! Now let the glory descend! And let this light be for the sealing of my saints and the binding of the untoward ones who are indeed the spoilers in the earth from the beginning.

     And there was silence in heaven, as before the coming of the great notable Day of the LORD. And after the silence, so the thunder. And after the thunder, the rain, and in the midst of the rain, the lightning. And God does touch the earth with his rod.

     Now you will see in the atmosphere over this place the full-gathered momentum of light of the Retreat of the Resurrection Spiral.6 It is sealed in a sphere. It shall multiply your own effort. Intercede, then, if ye will, O Lightbearers, on behalf of a City Foursquare, a nation, a continent. Intercede, then, and know the great geometry of thy God, who shall take up all light ever released in decree or dictation, initiation and love by the Messengers and staff and Keepers of the Flame of La Tourelle.

     The forcefield of Omega shall not be superimposed over this building. Nor shall its atoms be endowed with this momentum of the Spirit of the Resurrection. But unto thy heart the momentum shall be, in this scintillating sphere of light, the power to effect local and worldwide change, multiplied in every decree and call that you offer.

     Thus, offer it in thine own name - the inner name and the white cube. Offer it in the name of thy God for Saint Germain and a people who must, must have opportunity to know him.

     This I decree for America, for I AM the Ancient of Days. I AM he that sitteth upon the throne, even the great white throne.7 And I decree, this people must - they must have the opportunity in the name of divine justice to know Saint Germain! I, Sanat Kumara, have decreed this! And upon you is a light and a mantle of beloved Portia and Lady Venus. May the Divine Mother upon you clear the way with the Messenger and angels for this nation to know their God of Freedom, to know their God and live!

     I will leave no stone unturned to reach for the Lightbearer and the wayfarer and the pilgrim. I, Sanat Kumara, vow to do it through you if you will open your hearts and chakras unto me.

     So, shall the pity be not a tear in the eye of Saint Germain or Jesus or any angel or elemental that a soul was lost for having not heard the name Saint Germain or of the light of violet fire or of the means to avert world calamity. Let it now be shouted from the housetops. Let it be broadcast. And let there be an opening of hearts.

     I come, then, for the initiation of hearts. I spare you, then, the intense fire but allow a gentle process of gradual cleansing for those who have not yet cleansed or cleared or even begun to expand that threefold flame as they should, though they have tarried long in our service.

     I have compassion for thee, my beloved. I would that ye could swiftly expand that flame. Understand, beloved, with each microscopic increment of increase of the threefold flame, every cell and atom of the body and the four lower bodies must suffer a period of adjustment. I give you this teaching, beloved, that you might understand that the Divine Mother within you does indeed experience pain and travail.

     Condemn not oneself. Fear not to advance. Fear not that the flame must expel from within those cells karma, misqualified substance. If ye would have the light expand to the plane of the Son of God in your heart, O Lightbearers, ye must understand the `all-chemistry' of God!

     Thus, groan not when the adjustments come within the four lower bodies but cry unto God and say, "O LORD, expand my narrow room! Expand my narrow room!" And thus, the room of the cells and the organs will be expanded. Debris comes to the surface. Let it be swept, then, by violet flame.

     Understand when you enter this path, beloved, it is indeed climbing Everest and more. You cannot turn back. You cannot decelerate. Even to look down may cause a precipitous fall. This is the way of immortality and the Ruby Ray. This is the path of the Sacred Heart.

     Because you have feared it and feared this alchemy, you have sealed your hearts from me, beloved! I, Sanat Kumara, speak to my own in the earth! You have not been willing, then, to go through that so-called crucifixion in the flesh to receive the increment of fire that was yours in the beginning, which you have lost by diminishment.

     Understand, then, that to give birth to thy Christhood is pain, travail, and the discipline to tend the mind, tend the astral body, tend the repository of memory and the physical body. For these must needs be expanded!

     O beloved, growing pains are upon children and greater adjustments for those in the teen years. Can you not see the process of giving birth to thy God and thy Cosmic Self? Oh, how the world has need of thy example!

     The angels of Uriel shall not leave thee - with their golden pink glow-ray, with their violet flame that does cushion this transition. Watch and pray.

     I have spoken. I trust you have understood a certain measurement and co-measurement of what is called the mighty work of the ages. I said work! Work while ye have this Light with you.8 Work, then, fearlessly and be aggressive in the binding of those demons.

     Oh, in Jesus' heart know, then, the I AM THAT I AM. Thy brother stands to be indeed thy friend, thy comrade on life's way. His arm strong around the shoulder holding thee tight is an extension of the Electronic Presence and heart.

     You can do it because I know you can, God knows you can - many have done it and you know you can. The question, beloved, remains: Will you do it? ["Yes!"]

     Remember in the hour when the darkened smoke of personal and planetary karma descends - remember thy First Love.

9.2  Beloved Archangel Uriel

Vol. 30 No. 9 - Beloved Archangel Uriel

     A Canopy of Light over the Twin Cities

     My Beloved,

     I, Uriel, witness to you the ascent, then, of Sanat Kumara instantaneously to heights of thirty-three thousand feet and beyond this place.

     A canopy of light is over the Twin Cities covering a fifty-mile radius with an intensity of a spotlight of sacred fire - with an additional fifty as a penumbra.

     As thou art held in the hollow of the hand of God, hear then the words of thy father Enoch:

     Beloved Enoch

     "I Have Chosen to Walk the Earth ..."

     My Beloved,

     I have petitioned the Father that I might speak to you from my heart and on behalf of Saint Germain.

     Some of you were with me in my life as Enoch. Some of you saw Atlantis with me. You remember vividly the temptations of the fallen angels which had begun long ago in Lemuria. You know, beloved, that these fallen ones have drawn mankind in this hour to depths of degradation not thought possible.

     Surely, then, all that I have written of the judgment of the Watchers must come to pass.9 Let my knowledgeable ones, well-taught by the Messengers, understand the directing of sacred fire and legions of Astrea into the earth for the uprooting of the roots of wickedness and karma of these fallen ones as they are bound and taken from the screen of life and, following transition, clearly removed from the astral plane and from the planet.

     Be not lulled that some men who are evil die, for the good also die. But be alert to the dispensation of the Fourth Ray on Friday eve. For this is the time, beloved, to descend not only with Archangel Michael but also with Astrea for the carving out of the earth of the diseases of these fallen ones - the viruses and plagues spawned in their laboratories of Atlantis, passed into the waters and the groundwaters in the earth to be released for generations.

     Blessed ones, I did reveal to the Messenger recently that these fallen ones programmed their offspring genetically to have a certain inherent immunity to the very viruses they created. Not until recent years and dispensation from the LORDs of Karma, then, has the returning karma for the creation of plague upon mankind seriously affected the generations of the Watchers.

     Blessed hearts, God is not mocked!10 They are reaping what they have sown. But in the midst of this, the call must go forth for the selective and discriminate judgment of the fallen ones and the protection of the Lightbearers as that judgment does descend.

     So it can be. As you recognize this place as a haven and surely the place of refuge (as even in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, twin cities of the plain, there was the home of Lot where the Ascended Masters might frequent11), so we shall come to this Home of Light during the period of darkening woes, which need not affect the Lightbearer if he remain wise, loyal, and constant.

     Faithfully, I AM your father. And I have chosen to walk the earth for a time as a prophet and patriarch and to do so through this Messenger that the presence of the prophets of old and the patriarchs might be felt in the land and a people might be quickened to earlier ages, even to Eden and the Mystery School, that their yearning might increase and that the judgment of the Watcher might increase. As Sanat Kumara has placed it in my heart, so I AM able, then, to multiply his action through the call and heart of the Messenger.

     Your access to the Messenger's heart as true chelas of Morya enables you to make the call, then, for her mantle restored12 and my Presence with her to indeed multiply your own call, even as it is multiplied by the sphere of light that is the harvest of seven years of the retreat of La Tourelle.

     Now my heart's desire is only to be with you and to be a part of you. You are indeed the hope of all elemental life and their joy. They rejoice as you call in the name of their hierarchs and send them on missions for the overturning of the plots of the wicked. Develop a momentum with the Master Alchemist Saint Germain and you shall see how the adepts were able to use elementals for good, even in the period of world changes.

     I come to praise Saint Germain that you might know of his tireless efforts and of the support of Cosmic Beings and the Brotherhood in his intense effort to intercede where no intercession was thought possible.

     Blessed ones, you might consider that the Keepers of the Flame are the x factor in the equation that can tip the scales in favor of Light. Never has heaven tended more tenderly, watched more watchfully the emergent disciple disciplining himself in earth.

     Oh, how we would brace you and embrace you! As the Law compels the Call and the Call compels the answer, and as we would answer as never before, O do thou, beloved, call in our behalf for dispensations of the Cosmic Council and the Sun behind the sun that we might help you more and give more help to Saint Germain.

     Therefore, as the world waits, as the world waits, beloved, to see each succeeding dawn - some with fear and anxious anticipation and others ignorantly unaware of those things that hang heavy in the skies - so, Uriel, Archangel of the dawn, does greet every heart of Helios and Vesta.

     As Saint Germain has said, "I will be in the Heart of the Inner Retreat," so, many of us begin already the preparations and the pilgrimage. May Keepers of the Flame assemble to keep the vigil, the vigil for freedom, even before the beginning of the conference.

     Blessed hearts, last Wesak you heard not from the LORD of the World Gautama Buddha. He did decline to speak, for rather than give to you dire predictions, he did forbear, allowing another twelvemonth for you to make the difference. Now then, in approach of Wesak, I, Enoch, take my place beside every decree leader, every chela wherever the decree of the Word is given.

     I AM Enoch. My journeying by the power of angels to the seven heavens,13 beloved, does allow me to summon the Seven Archangels and their heaven worlds into the earth. Lest there be cataclysm as a result of this summoning, let the Keepers of the Flame cushion the layers of the earth with violet fire.

     Oh, what a glorious period of transition unto the golden day of the golden age! Many ancients walk up and down America - many, beloved, for love of Saint Germain. They preach, they rebuke. The souls hear them. Thus, they begin to be attuned to this mouthpiece and the prophecies of the Ascended Masters. Our prayer is that the Darkness shall swiftly pass into the sacred-fire vortex you invoke and that the Light shall come.

     I give you, then, my heart, my light as I serve you now through the Messenger Holy Communion.

     Bring now the bread and the wine.

     Our Father in heaven, thou who hast placed upon me the title and mantle "Father," in the name I AM THAT I AM, Enoch of the Light, bless now this bread and wine as the instrument of my heart, thus reestablishing the tie through my heart unto the LORD of the World and the Ancient of Days and the Cosmic Christ and the Sacred Heart of Jesus to all descendants of this seed that I bore to earth, even the seed of Sanat Kumara.

     In this Communion, O blessed, let there peel away a single layer of density. As it does take place in this week, beloved, identify not with it but accelerate this peeling of the layer of density by the power of Alpha and Omega.

     Therefore, I affirm in thy Christ: All power in heaven and earth is given unto me!14 Unto thy Christ it is given unto thyself to claim. Let us see, then, the astute ones wash and be washed. And observe, then, how the density will pass out of thy life freely as long as thou dost not hold thy tatters close to thy flesh.

     Let go, O beloved! For I come now in the name of the One who has descended with ten thousand of his saints. Receive me, my own, my child, my heart. Drink me while I am drinking thee.

     [Holy Communion is served by the Messenger.]

     Beloved of the Light, I therefore seal you in the flame of Mighty Victory.

     No idle or chance words are these, beloved. For the Noble One and the Mighty Victory secured from the Central Sun in anticipation of this event the opportunity for the sealing of the Keeper of the Flame of Liberty. For so great an approbation, I, your father Enoch, counsel you: Keep the flame of Liberty and therefore have forever the sealing of Victory.

     So it is a sealing of a day in timelessness and spacelessness. Thus with its conclusion, beloved, there is the return now not only to time and space but to its karma, that ye might master it, subdue it, and defeat it.

     In the name of Christ, I AM forevermore Enoch of the Light. I AM victorious. So are my own. Ye are my own.

     The Messenger:

     Beloved Keepers of the Flame, may the flight of the hummingbird mark your time and space and your comings and your goings in God. Let us meditate on the "Humming Chorus" as we have our love offering in this hour. [The "Humming Chorus" from Madame Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini played during love offering.]

     Beloved, beloved Lanello is standing at the altar to bless the love offering. He has been speaking to your souls since I have been seated. He faces now the Chart and offers this prayer:

9.3  Beloved Lanello

Vol. 30 No. 9 - Beloved Lanello

     "I Will Not Leave Thee!"

     O my Father, I am grateful for thy care to our own. Receive me as thou hast received them. Through my heart do thou bless their love offering, their peace, their right-mindfulness, their compassion, their mercy toward us.

     We, then, who have served as their mentors, O father Enoch, desire also to succor each one. May it be that in this hour all who have been touched by our witness forever might have revealed to them, even in their sense of aloneness or injustice, our hearts' purest devotion to their Christhood.

     I AM Lanello, placing my ascended, winged sandals and feet in footprints that have nigh covered this altar.15 So it is comfortable to wear the old shoes and even the old suit by way of a co-measurement with those yet draped with flesh.

     Thus, I, Lanello, O Father, by thy leave, breathe of my Spirit into this house, even as it is the Spirit, the Holy Spirit, and thine own I AM THAT I AM.

     Keepers of the Flame of the liberty of the white fire core of America, I will not leave thee. My strong arm about thee, I AM here unto the finish when the LORD shall say through his angel, "Truly it is done, it is finished, it is sealed. Enter thou into the joy of thy LORD."

     I bless thy faithful body elementals and angels by the Spirit in me. So, it is done.

     The Messenger:

     Facing the Chart, Lanello releases fohatic keys and intense light. He speaks and chants in tongues of angels. By his sounding of ancient words he is clearing a funnel of light from heaven to earth in the small space between the lectern and the Chart. So it shall serve thee as thou servest it.

     He faces the audience, continues the mudras, releases the light, continues chanting in a holy sound. It is a sound against the backdrop of many voices and these are the voices of the priests of Melchizedek, among whom he is counted as a high priest. They chant in the background in many numbers as he continues his intoning of God's word in a language not spoken on earth since the last golden age.

     As he continues this very important inner work, may the ushers retire as we sing to the Elohim "Let Their Voice Be Heard!" Please stand for the action of Elohim which Lanello is invoking. The Elohim Seven have surrounded the Twin Cities with their legions to release a balancing action complementing Sanat Kumara's action, which will be anchored physically through you as you sing this song.

     [song 345, "Let Their Voice Be Heard!"]

     Lanello has concluded his inner work, dissolved his nearly physical body into a vortex like a whirlwind of light and gone up as you would imagine one of the mighty hierarchs of the fire elementals or as Zarathustra to ascend into a flame.

     The sound of the priests of Melchizedek is faded and is no more and we do return now gently to time and space and karma.

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

     These dictations by Archangel Uriel, Sanat Kumara, Enoch, and Lanello were delivered through the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Saturday, February 21, 1987, upon the dedication of the sanctuary of Minnehaha House, the Church Universal and Triumphant Minneapolis/St. Paul Community Teaching Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

6 "La Tourelle" in Colorado Springs was the headquarters of Church Universal and Triumphant from January 1966 through the summer of 1976 and a Community Teaching Center from then until the sale of the property, November 1984. Beloved Omega consecrated it as the Retreat of the Resurrection Spiral on April 11, 1971. At the time of the passing of the property into other hands, the light of the entire retreat and forcefield was withdrawn and held in the etheric octave until the opening of the vast Retreat of the Divine Mother over the Royal Teton Ranch and adjacent park and wilderness lands. (See Sanat Kumara, December 15, 1985, "The Retreat of the Divine Mother," 1986 Pearls of Wisdom, vol. 29, no. 10, p. 72.) During Sanat Kumara's dictation, the sealed sphere of light - the harvest of seven years' momentum of light released at the Retreat of the Resurrection Spiral in decree, dictation, initiation and love by the hierarchy of the Great White Brotherhood through the Messengers and staff and Keepers of the Flame - was transferred from the Retreat of the Divine Mother and positioned in the atmosphere on the etheric octave over Minnehaha House.
