Hail, O Light of the Immanuel. Lo, I AM come for the fulfillment of an ancient promise. And though the outer self make it difficult for the inner soul to receive me, yet I enter in, for the soul does long for my coming. And I AM Raphael, Archangel of God of the Fifth Ray, consort of the Blessed Virgin. One are we in the sacred fire of God.
Therefore, I, Raphael, fulfilling the promise to come unto you in your hour of greatest need for healing, for wholeness, present myself to you with the intensity of the God Flame of the Fifth Ray, the brilliant emerald green light that surely is a purging light that healeth all thy diseases.
Those who may see by an inner sight raised up will note that I have placed my hands over this Messenger's hands and I am releasing through her chakras in this hour the healing light, and therefore I am carving out new channels of her being for healing1 and I am releasing that light to the earth for the healing of the psyche of nations. For nations are beset by a national consciousness that does prevail, a characteristic burden of karma, attitude, and profile of a people. So entrenched are these limitations, beloved, that scarcely can the Universal Christ appear.
In this day and hour, then, know that my legions move throughout the earth with angels of the Blessed Mother, and our angels together are seeking those who will take a stand for Truth, pay any price, go anywhere, be in any field or calling so long as they can stand for Truth.
Blessed hearts, to those of you and us who are revolutionaries of Truth returning in every age to reconsecrate life to the inner alignment with Being so set forth by Gautama Buddha, by Jesus Christ and other incarnations of God, I say that it is curious indeed to observe those who know the Truth and yet do not allow its flame to burst forth from within, who do not allow the quickening, who do not allow their souls to speak and to rise up and to be that Light unto the nations.
Thus, what is their fear? What is their fear, beloved? Will not Truth lead you into all places of light and victory and of Love's own healing? Will not Truth be thy companion and guide and a true friend who shall never betray you for the living Truth?
Blessed hearts of living fire, those who espouse Truth and commit their lives to that Truth and do so unequivocally, those individuals, beloved, are rare in the planet and they are indeed the true devotees of my beloved Mary. Know, then, that the true knowledge of Truth is found in those who are the living Truth. Those who become the Truth, therefore, surely understand that Truth is the foundation of the threefold flame of holy Christhood.
Truth, then, is the crying need of the hour! Therefore, understand why our bands go up and down the land. Truth is denied and therefore the force of anti-Truth in the earth has raised up, by way of challenging absolute Truth, that which is known to us as the Big Lie. It is the all-encompassing lie, East and West, of the denial of the individuality of the God Flame, whether in totalitarian movements, whether in the economies of the nations or in an education[al system] that is without a spiritual fire.
Truth, then, is born out of the Logos, out of the divine Word and logic itself. Truth is the geometry of Being, and the geometry of your Divinity is indeed God; and therefore, if you are not comfortable with the word God or with the concept of Deity, just remember that the pinnacle of your being is the geometry of Divinity.
Therefore, this G-o-d is like a geode, for this is a rock, beloved, which when cleaved does reveal crystalline substance which is, in truth, Nature's way of reminding you that in the heart and in the womb of the Cosmic Virgin there is an interlining of violet flame and crystal light; and all the [crystal] substances in the earth are a reminder that some who have walked the path of Truth are indeed its embodiment universally.
Truth is a pathway to the ascension espoused by the beloved Saint Paul, and that path, beloved, known and fulfilled does bring one to the place of becoming the embodiment of the flame of living Truth.
Is it not, then, altogether fitting that we should bestow this flame upon our Messenger? Blessed hearts, her dedication to Truth has presented you with the sacred mysteries and the very fountainhead of the Lost Teachings. By the Truth already set forth you have the keys to your ascension. Blessed ones, all of that ascension is now in the doing and in the becoming and in the realizing.
Truth, then, is a holy allegiance and it is a holy alliance. Let all those who stand for Truth, then, in science, in religion and in government, in the very path of the soul's union with God, know that we of the Fifth Ray open our retreat at Fátima for the receiving of all those of courage who have become outcasts in their own families and hometowns because they have taken a stand for Truth, for the divine art, for the divine music and for a new age of freedom, peace and enlightenment.
All, then, who have gone out of the established modes of their fields of endeavor, finding therein hypocrisy and compromise, all who have begun to doubt even the very existence of Almighty God, those who call themselves agnostics but, in truth, doubt not God but doubt all who have misrepresented him, let them know that we together, twin flames, Archangels of the Fifth Ray, do present to the world the opening of the doors of our temple as the first opening in general of a retreat of the Archangels to those [who have passed] beyond [the levels of] the mystery schools [of the Lords of the Seven Rays].
Blessed ones, the earth is suffering from a profound deception placed upon all of humanity by the fallen angels who have been cast out of heaven into the earth and yet reincarnate on this planet in physical bodies for having denied the Universal Christ in your twin flames, in your own heart flame and that of your Beloved with whom you were created by Elohim in the heart of the Great Central Sun.
Thus, the twin flames who have gone forth from the Divine Whole have been subjected to the lies of these fallen ones, and though they may not have entirely accepted those lies, it is the coloring of the stream of consciousness, as you call it, the mass consciousness of humanity, that has warped the entire evolutionary stream of this planet and dyed it and colored it outside of the crystal-clear colors of the chakras of the seven rays.
Blessed hearts, the non-Truth, the error, the deliberate lie and malice perpetrated against the children of God in the earth is truly the root cause for their loss of memory of the divine Truth and Doctrine of the living Christ, the Saviour.
Know, then, that we have taken a very active presence and we are no longer on the defensive for Truth, but the armies of the Lord and of the Faithful and True are on the offensive, wielding the mighty sword of Truth that does indeed cleave asunder the Real from the Unreal.2
Beloved of the Light, let there be a living Word within you that does understand that now is the hour to espouse that Truth and to understand that he taught that the Truth shall make you free. But the only Truth that can free you, beloved, is the Truth that you know.
Therefore, when you hear the statement "And ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free,"3 [know] that [that] knowledge of Truth is self-knowledge and this is a part of the inner teaching, the inner mysteries given to the disciples, that has come down to you as Gnosticism.
Self-knowledge was the rule and the order of the day set forth by Jesus Christ. Understand that therefore self-knowledge in Truth is the Self-knowledge of the inner Christ, the inner Light and the Universal One. It is the Self-knowledge of the I AM THAT I AM.
I tell you, beloved, to have one glimpse of the face of your IAM Presence is worth all of the giving and the devotedness and the self-discipline on the path of universal discipleship unto the individuality of the God Flame. I tell you, beloved, for all of the dalliance and all of the preoccupations with entertainment and television, if you would put this time into acknowledging and giving calls and decrees to your I AM Presence, you would see the face of the Beloved and in seeing that face you could no longer live as a mortal man!
For in you would be planted, then, the memory of your divine seed and of your immortality and you would know it by a fierce presence of the sacred fire pulsating, by an expression of ultimate love, and you would see the face in whose divine image you were made. Therefore, one glimpse of the I AM Presence is sufficient for a lifetime and many lifetimes.
I tell you, this is the desire that should be pure desire in your being: to know God face to face and to talk with him as Moses did talk with him as a man unto a man.4 For we the Archangels do embody the Presence of God and the fullness of that Presence on our individual rays. Therefore, when we come to you, beloved, we come in the flaming presence of the I AM THAT I AM!
I AM an Archangel and where I AM there is the Spirit of the LORD! And where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is Liberty5 because there is Truth. And the Truth is revealed by the Universal Light, for in the presence of that Universal Light, Darkness can no longer wear the mask of Truth and thus the real identity of the fallen ones is made crystal clear when you bask in the light of Truth.
And therefore, it is Mother Mary who is the Great Guru, the Great Initiator of the raising of the Light [of the Divine Mother] within you. For when that Light is raised up (as you have begun a simple exercise toward that end6), you will discover that that Light shall finally attain a permanent residence in the crown chakra and the third eye. And the third eye, therefore, is the ray of healing and the Fifth Ray; and that eye, therefore, when perfected does radiate the emerald fire and the healing ray. Thus, as your vision is, so shall your healing be and so shall your self-knowledge in Truth [be].
It is clear, therefore, that when a people no longer remember their devotion to the Divine Mother or [to] the raising up of the white light, they have no self-knowledge except that of the baser elements. They have no divine knowledge of themselves, they have no Christ Self-knowledge, and therefore they do not know the Truth. They have not become it. They have not self-realized it.
How, then, do you expect, beloved, a humanity who has gone astray from the path of the beautiful bliss of oneness with God to be saved by the Archangels when they have lost their sight and almost lost their souls for the absence of devotion to the divine spark?
And in some, beloved ones, that divine spark has been extinguished by their absolute denial of the absolute God within their being, and this has been done unto them by the fallen angels who have led them astray into byways of the not-self, of atheism and existentialism and a total nihilism ending in self-suicide even before that physical act is taken.
Thus, the danger of the suicide of the soul is the danger of the age and it is rooted in the absence of the knowledge of Truth and the self as the repository of Truth. Beloved, souls are committing suicide in this age, for they have desired not to be and not to exist in God, and therefore they pursue a course of self-destruction by all manner of perversion of the Light within them and of the life-force until it is entirely squandered and there is nothing left of the original endowment that was given to that soul when she first stepped forth from out the heart of God with her beloved twin flame in the beginning.
Therefore, remember the Great Central Sun and remember the Sun behind the sun. Therefore, remember that thy living God is living Truth. Therefore, remember also Pallas Athena, not a mythical goddess but a being of great light who has espoused Truth for tens of thousands of years upon this planet. Remember Vesta who now does keep the flame of Truth and of Love/Wisdom in the heart of the sun of this system of worlds with a twin flame, Helios.
Remember all who have gone before you on the path of Truth. For in this age it is the flame of Truth that must swallow up the darkness of that Great Lie that is told and the Great Lie begins with a temptation: "Thou shalt not surely die." So the fallen angels in the garden, the Mystery School, did tell that story to the woman.7
Realize, beloved, that there is the death of the soul and it is written in scripture in Revelation.8 And therefore, it is also stated: "The soul that sinneth, it shall die."9 And there does come a time, beloved, when the light of the soul is totally squandered, when the Light of God at the Court of the Sacred Fire does pass through that soul and does neutralize the identity. And therefore life returns to Life with no stamp of creativity or individuality upon it because that soul has never, not in all of earth's history, pursued a path for the individualization of the God Flame.
Know, then, beloved, that the Truth of eternal Life may be found by you only through your union with your own Christ Self, the Universal One. And that union is called the alchemical marriage; and that fusion of the soul unto the Eternal Christ, the Eternal Word, the Eternal Logos, is the moment and the hour when that soul does gain immortality.
What is the soul, then? It is the nonpermanent atom of being. It is that portion of self that has gone forth with a gift of free will, having so demanded it, and in that free will to choose to be or not to be in God.
Blessed ones, I am certain that you can think of any number of individuals within [the circle of] your acquaintance who have chosen to deny the Light, who have chosen to deny Love and Truth and live only unto themselves and unto the waste of the precious Life that God has given to them which flows to them heart to heart by the crystal cord day after day after day. Beloved ones, there does come a time, and the conclusion of ages is that time, as [it is] in this conclusion of the age of Pisces, when the soul, therefore, must give an accounting. And that accounting is due in this hour for all lifestreams upon this planetary body.
Know, then, beloved, that in this hour [it] is the hour to magnify the LORD as Mother Mary has taught you: "My soul doth magnify the LORD, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour!"10 Your soul is a mirror that can magnify infinitely the LORD your God [your Mighty I AM Presence] and thereby the LORD your God does descend suddenly into your temple11 to live with you as your Teacher, as your Beloved, as your very own Real Self.
In the infinitude of this Light, beloved, therefore know [that] there is a path and [that] the path does indeed lead to the retreat of the apostle Paul, who is known as the Ascended Master Hilarion,12 and [that] that retreat does tutor you and prepare you to come into our temple of the Archangels of the Fifth Ray. Thus, beloved, Truth always leads to healing.
Those among you who would be healers among men, know that you may apply to the heart of Mary and in so doing give her Child's Rosary daily. You may appeal to my own heart; and when you embody Truth, beloved, I tell you, healing shall flow through you, for healing is the power of Divine Wholeness and wholeness is the Whole-I-Spirit of the All-Seeing Eye of God manifest through your third eye.
And by that wholeness, beloved, by that completeness and oneness that you discover in the living flame of Truth, lo, the Alpha and the Omega, the plus and the minus polarity are One, and it is by that plus and minus, beloved, that living Truth is bestowed upon you once again.
Let there be a raising up of the Light therefore! For in each and every one of your seven spiritual centers, known as chakras, there is a light to be made whole, there is a light to be returned to that sacred center. Thus, the seven rays may flow from you, and preceding that, let the violet flame flow and flow and flow through your chakras for the fullness of that healing which is God's.
We come, then, to bestir you, and I trust my cohort Archangel Gabriel has impressed upon you the terrible urgency of the hour. I come to address you, then, on the need to prepare for any hour and any day for [the Great Initiator to initiate you unto] your own salvation, which is the elevation of the soul within you unto the living Christ.
And I tell you from the level of an Archangel there is no greater teaching in the earth in this day than the Teachings of the Ascended Masters that can swiftly take you on your course to your reunion with the eternal Light! And I tell you, it has been set forth fastidiously by our Messengers. It is a teaching, then, that will take you far on the path of God-realization. It will take you all the way to the victory of your ascension.
Therefore, I say to you, humble yourself before the living Guru who is Christ the Lord, who is my beloved Mary and recognize that there are Ascended Masters and that you do need to submit yourself to the disciplines of those who have gone before you and are Cosmic Lights in history and have an attainment that is so magnificent and so great, beloved, that before you have [reached the level wherein you have] seen your God you may see these Ascended Masters. Therefore, recognize that it is time you gave allegiance to and time you were humble before those who have an attainment and have the great wisdom to impart that attainment to you step by step!
Know this, then, beloved, that the false teaching has gone forth upon this continent of the denial of the Teacher, the denial of the Ascended Masters or any masters, the denial of the necessity for any master, and therefore every man has become once again a law unto himself as in the days when God sent the judges unto the children of Israel.13
And therefore, when each one claims himself as his own master but has no mastery whatsoever and does require the basic steps of the violet flame, he does become too proud to bend the knee before any [Christed one] and yet these same ones will take their courses and will study in the universities of the world and yet they say they need no path.
Blessed ones, I tell you truly, it is folly to deny those who have gone before you in this age, for the Ascended Masters have tarried [and are tarrying] with this age and with this earth for a certain period only. These are those who have forsaken [their opportunity] to go on in the cosmic service [in order] to tarry and tend those Lightbearers who remain on the planet and those children of the Sun.
And therefore as the cycles turn, know that the doors of the universities of the Spirit which are open to you are open again for the first hour in ten thousand years and when they have again served their purpose they shall be sealed unless there is a greater turning to the Light by those of the earth who have the Light.
And therefore it is an experimental hour, this entering of the age of Aquarius, and by the response of the Lightbearers we shall see what shall become of the ministrations of the hierarchies of Light to a planet and a people.
And should this planet go down, beloved, in that "Great War" that is prophesied by my own [beloved Mary], you may understand that the Darkness that may come over the land will be a Darkness of the people's separation from their Teachers, from the heavenly hosts and from the Ascended Masters. When this does occur, beloved ones, [if it occur,] the path of the ascension will not be found or realized, for one does need a guide and an example to be on that path of the ascension and to make it.
And for this cause came Jesus Christ into the world and yet the true teachings on how to make one's ascension have not been set forth; for two thousand years ago they were the inner mysteries. But today in the dawn of Aquarius they are set forth. They are set forth, beloved, that step by step you may climb the golden crystal spiral of the inner ladder of Life back to the heart of your God Presence.
Thus, fear not to understand that the chain of Hierarchy is intact and that it is real. You need to understand that great Cosmic Beings are sponsoring you in this hour and you ought to call upon them in utmost gratitude that they are there and that they may show you the way and [that] they may assist you in clearing that spiritual pride that affirms that you need no Teacher! I tell you, there has never been an hour in the history of this planet when a people more needed their Cosmic Teachers!
Blessed hearts, let us decree together that Atlantis and Lemuria and their cataclysm shall not be revisited in this age because of this human infamy - both humanity's inhumanity to man and that which has been done to the denial and exclusion of the universal saints and our Brotherhood of Light.
Blessed ones, we may decree it but unless millions also decree it and turn around the downward trends in so many areas of civilization, as the Blessed Mother has said in Medjugorje, "The right hand of my Son shall descend and the judgment shall come."
Therefore, let it be known to you, beloved, that there is an hour for intercession and it is now! There is an hour for Truth and it is now! There is an hour for the flaming sword of Truth and it is now! May you seize it and see it and may those who have had this teaching the longest wax hot in a fiery zeal and know just how much you have received and therefore just how much you have to give.
A world is waiting for the message of universal Truth as a living flame within each heart. And by that flame, I tell you, you can light a world! You can be the spark that does become a conflagration of Truth! Let earth be bathed in the healing light this day as a complement to the violet flame you invoke. Let earth be bathed in a consciousness of Truth that shall immediately expose the consciousness of the Lie to all people.
I AM Raphael and I say to you that [in order] for this to be fulfilled [it] will take a mighty effort and a one-pointedness on the part of everyone who does hear me. For we come with our proposal, beloved, and yet others have gone before us with their proposals, whether to the students of the Ascended Masters or to the public, and somehow the karma of the age and the density of the human spirit has not allowed them to become activists for Truth.
I tell you, beloved, those who have labored in this field have labored hard and long for the victory of the hour. Let those, then, who have received the blessings from their Tree of Life know that this is the hour when every man's light can shine unto a planetary victory!
I cry to you at the end of an age! I cry to you, then, representing the Archangels and I say to you, beloved, our call goes forth and we desire to see a return! And if there be a return forthcoming, we come again, and if there be not, beloved, I must tell you that the Cosmic Council will ask us to withdraw.
Therefore, in the name of Saint Germain, in the name of his courage to bring to Europe truly the union of the I AM THAT IAM, we stand. And we stand in our love for him and in the love of all servant-sons of God who have given their lives again and again that Truth might live.
Blessed ones, there are those among you this day who have stood for Truth lifetime after lifetime after lifetime, and I tell you, our angels bow before the Light within you that is Christ. May all who desire to enter into the league of the servants of Cosmic Truth know that when you do so, you shall not escape the persecutors of Truth in every age. What of them? Let them howl and whine. They have their day and then they are no more. Truth lives on and those who espouse her live on eternally with her.
May you be enfolded, then, with the garments of Pallas Athena and know the Muses and know those who have sponsored Saint Germain and know those who have sponsored you in many lifetimes.
Your devoted servant, I AM Raphael of the Fifth Ray!
I have poured out the fervor of my heart to you, beloved, that you might know what is the zeal of those who serve this healing light to a diseased and dying planet!
I AM THAT I AM in the heart of the flame, servant of God, and the God is Truth!
