Out of the compassionate heart of the Buddha I come to you this day in an aura of love - a love that is such splendor in such simplicity as to woo you to the heart of the Divine Mother, who does nourish in you that light eternal.
Therefore in the sweetness of the Mother do the Buddhas come, in the adoration of the Tara, the great Kuan Yin, in all planes and in our incarnations of that Divine One.
Come then, beloved, and know that in the Body of Bliss1 we tarry for assimilation of the power of Love. And in the conclusion of our meditation as I am releasing to you the fragrance, the essence of my highest being, you will contain the power of Love that you may direct - according to your free will enlightened by your Christhood - into conditions that must be alleviated, that must be allayed for the establishment of a basic continuity of life.
It is the continuity of being midst the turbulence in the earth of earthquake and jarring sensations and frights that come upon people in every walk of life [of which we would speak].
Where there is a continuity of the stream of Life from on high through you, through this thread of contact, through the flowing words of my heart, the Path can be sought and won, the weary can be fed and clothed and given to drink. Continuity of life, beloved, is the need of the hour and that is what is threatened by the prophecies you have heard, by the signs in the heavens.2
Know, then, beloved, that where the stream is broken or the thread of contact severed, there, then, souls truly may suffer a Dark Night and be tossed and tumbled until the Avalokitesvara may descend with his legions to carry them from their inundation in the astral seas and waves.
Blessed hearts, this is why you are called to keep the flame of Christ, of Maitreya, of Buddha.
Keep the flame of Life, beloved. For in that flame of your heart, some will understand, [some] will come to know me or to know the true Jesus as my Messenger and Son, some will come to know their own Christhood.
Keep the flame, beloved. You are in the earth, flames becoming bodhisattvas and some among you are bodhisattvas.
Note well, beloved, that life deserves your ministering and it is only just that you give it in this hour. Remember, you minister unto a soul becoming the fullness of that Light who by your ministration may even exceed your glory, for which you should give a shout of gratitude to the cosmos.
Remember, then, that you serve not the human lesser self but a soul that is entrapped by that human lesser self. Take care, then, in time-wasting upon the bottomless pit of human desire and appetite that will take not only your wares and teaching and light but yourself if it could.
Seek the devotee who is in straits dire and wield the sword of Maitreya to cut him free. But do not become entangled with those who have no intention of rising but only of keeping you tied in argumentation - and distractions and byways [which take you] from the cries of the little ones who need you now and not tomorrow.
I AM Maitreya, always in the heart of Jesus - always the Buddha within his crown, always the Buddha within his heart.
I AM Maitreya in the earth body, conversing with your soul. Know me, then, in kindness first expressed by you. Then the return current of that kindness expressed by another will reveal to you one of my million smiles through the friend, through the kind ones on earth, the wise ones who know that true kindness is found in the act of one who has cared enough to earn the key to open the door to successive chambers of my retreat.
Come and find me, beloved, for now I retreat to the Himalayas where I hold class continuing. May you experience me in your own discipleship of realizing the One, the Ineffable, the All, the Love - of Aquarius.
This dictation by Lord Maitreya was delivered by the Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Sunday, February 14, 1988, at the Sheraton-Palace Hotel, San Francisco.
