The Overcoming Victory of the Light
"Descend to Save the Pearls, the Pearls, the Pearls!"
Be My Disciples: Be Myself

     And so is my descent to you in this hour, O beloved, for the divine purpose unto which you are called, the overcoming victory of the Light in this life.

     For the Light kingdom is the great canopy of Love and that spherical body that is a blazing, dazzling sun above you. Unto this body of Universal Light I impel you by ascension's call and resurrection's Spirit!

     For I AM the LORD thy God in manifestation. I AM thy brother and I truly show the Way that must be attained by thee in this hour.

     Blessed ones, the Way may be hard and each footstep up the mountain more difficult, but, beloved, the steps must be taken, even if at a slow pace, one foot after the other on the Path, whereby the soul herself is garmented in beauty, liberated from the sense of sin. For though I long ago have cleansed you of sin, you retain the sense of sin in a sinful world.

     Therefore, be bright and whitened and encouraged in this hour. For, beloved, the Way must be taken and there is no other Way. For through my Sacred Heart and the initiatic path which I gave to my disciples and truly for you, that is sealed in the heart of my disciple Martha,1 you will then demonstrate to the world that the path of initiation can be realized, can be attained and [you will] introduce the age of Aquarius with the victory of Christ in you.

     The breaking of the spell of Death and Hell2 in established religion, truly the hypnotic spell of orthodoxy, may only come by the living witness. And I, if I am lifted up in you, I will draw all Lightbearers unto you.3 Therefore, as a staff, raise up the Light4 in your temple.

     Heed my call! Deny me not! For the years pass: I come again, I deliver my message, and the Law requires an acceleration.

     Therefore, O my beloved, know, then, that I have called you to be my disciples as5 being myself in form, the pupil being the embodiment of the Teacher in thought and attitude, Be-attitude, in feeling, in compassion, in kindness and humility and in the brilliance of mind that reflects the great Mind of God that is able diligently to conduct oneself according to the highest standards of our court and Hierarchy, excelling, then, where others of lesser grace excel,6 thy grace being that Holy Spirit.

     Beware, then, the coming of the judgment of the Holy Spirit declared in Los Angeles as the initiation of that Holy Spirit.7 For thy Christhood must be sealed.

     Therefore, listen - and listen and learn of me. For when I speak or when I exorcise through my Messenger, even in the secret place of her meditation, there is always the thrashing and the lashing out of that dweller on the threshold. See to it, beloved, that thou dost stand apart from the not-self to also bring judgment upon the unreality of thy being.

     Therefore, when I call my Messenger to give my invocations in your behalf, for the hour is come for the purging Light, I desire to find you fully prepared, having so called upon me to exorcise that dweller on the threshold that that final fiat of Light and purging may come and you may know yourself delivered, then, of that which is no longer a part of thee. It is called "the hanger-on" and it does hang on, beloved. Therefore [to exorcise the dweller] it does require the intercession of Maitreya or one of us who may come in the name of the Universal Christ.

     Know, then, beloved, that the assistance of Hierarchy is required to fulfill the goal of reunion with God. Therefore, with all thy getting get thee understanding of oneness with our heart, for we are ever near. The soul must not neglect her tutoring or her studying beneath her tutors.

     Thus, the path of the bodhisattva is formally introduced to this Community beginning with the ten vows of our beloved Kuan Yin.8 This is the beginning of your understanding of Maitreya's Mystery School as set requirements which are before you to which you must apply yourselves.

     I encourage you, beloved, for as you prepare the vessel, untold graces and glories will fill your cup and overflow to the healing of many. Think you that I would not empower you as I empowered my own two thousand years ago?9

     Blessed ones, great advances have been made in the unfoldment of the Teaching and the Mysteries. Dispensations of light have returned. The dark ages which occurred as the judgment of the denial of the Son of God by the powers of this earth have also been set aside.10

     Thus, the new dispensations of Aquarius bring us back to the moment of my original revelation of the opportunity for every son of God to realize the fullness of my Christhood and the Light of the I AM THAT I AM. Understand, beloved, that these revelations come again are for the gathering by the Holy Spirit of those who must in this hour come to the focalization of the sacred fire and hold that fire in the earth.

     For I prophesy to you that a great wind shall come, greater than you have heard or seen in this life. Know, then, that thou shalt stand in that day if [you have] fully heeded the warnings we have spoken and the specific directions that come through the Messenger. So it shall be, beloved, that in this standing and in this enduring there shall be the opportunity to attain the crown of Life11 if the sufficient foundation has been laid.

     Remember, then, the box of ointment.12 I have given to you, therefore, unguents necessary in the full complement of the Teaching. I say, open the box, each one, for my angel physicians hand it to you in this hour individually. Know, then, that this box is the sign and symbol of the sacred mysteries.

     The desire to heal and be healed must be preceded by the desire for wholeness above all else. It is in the Light kingdom that thou art whole. Therefore, call down the causal body of Light! Be thou made whole!

     Beloved ones, the gift of the pouch 10EN is that which you will require to meet the daily necessities of life as you go in my name to heal. Blessed ones, I speak not of healing in the larger sense of which the churches speak but I speak truly of the healing of the heart. I speak of restoration of faculties of soul and minds who can no longer think or remember or know or be. [For] the loss of faculties in this generation is alarming.

     Without the power of the Logos within you there is no salvation, and the Logos is more than the Word which was in the beginning with God.13 It is the Divine Reason, the Divine Doctrine, the Divine Gnosis!

     Know, then, that the cultivation of the heart, the Sacred Heart, the Diamond Heart, the Immaculate Heart, the threefold flame, this cultivation, beloved, shall find thee in the center of a sun. And the rays going forth infinitely in all directions are pathways to the infinite and down these pathways to your heart does come the divine understanding, and with that understanding you can quickly master the subjects necessary for the performance of daily responsibilities. But without the divine understanding of the Sun behind the sun pouring into the heart daily, thou shalt be as blocks of wood, stones, computers outmoded, not functioning well.

     Fear not the loss of materiality nor of the sensual mind but rather fear nonpreparedness to receive the Higher Mind and all of golden illumination's flame.

     "We have no time to pray, Lord." I say, be a prayer. "We have no time to study, Lord." I say, rise fifteen minutes early and with full concentration upon my Teaching take one of my books.14 Read for fifteen minutes. Carry that book with you and remind yourself of what you read. Embody it for the day. A morsel will suffice for the divine alchemy. Where there is no morsel I, then, have nothing to multiply, no wavelength of meditation whereby to enter.

     Neglect not, beloved, for in days in the future and in the hereafter salvation is far, far more difficult than in the Eternal Now. The tools are before you. Let them not rust upon the bench.

     Now, then, my beloved, I speak also to a world. I speak to a world whose din has been so raised that scarcely do they seek or hear the living Truth that is spoken.

     The Mysteries I have revealed through this Messenger are basic, are fundamental, are building blocks. Would you not think that the whole world would recognize these keys? And those who are touched by the Holy Spirit as night after night I preach this message through her, are they not able to retain it? Many are not, and many compare the real jewels with the trinkets, the baubles of life and see not the difference. Such a state of the Kali Yuga!

     And in the midnight hour Kuan Yin, Avalokitesvara, the great Amitabha and others descend. They with a great intensity of fiery zeal have come, beloved, to save what can be saved.

     Let the perpetual prayer of the heart be the desiring, then, and let angels carry thy desiring as command to go forth, to clear the way, to enter those lower octaves where by the Law of the One and according to free will they must receive the invocation, the spoken Word, even the whisper, "O Light, I command you! O hierarchies of Light, forces of Light, angels of Light, descend to save the pearls, the pearls, the pearls!"15

     I call to all who love me on earth: Come now to be my shepherds! Come now and be not stiff-necked and doubting as my disciples! Why do you trust the foundations of your orthodoxy to those whom I upbraided as my final sermon to them?16 Beloved, do you not think of the pain in my heart that in parting from them in that hour in the mystery of the resurrection I did find the requirement of the Law to rebuke them, to deliver that sacred fire for their human questioning and their doubting?

     It is because they would not believe my beloved Magda,17 my beloved Mother, my beloved John. They would not believe but only if I should appear to them directly. Thus, they stole the crown without the content and did not note that they had not the jewels to hold that crown.

     Know, then, beloved, how this stiff-neckedness may also persist for generations, and is this not the term yet applied to the Israelites, to the brothers of Joseph? Let it not be applied to those in our Community this day nor in the world.

     For I speak to the churches and their denial of woman. I speak to the fallen angels who have determined that the Woman and her seed18 shall not enter the pulpits. I speak to you, then:

     You whose auras are black with your calumny, you who have defiled my little ones, you rabbis, priests, ministers, to you I say, you shall not stand in the day of my glory and resurrection nor shall you stand this day! For one and all who have denied the Divine Mother in my disciples or my Word through perhaps the one whom you consider to be the least of these my brethren19 in this Messenger, know, then, that not for the denial of my representatives but for the denial of me in them shall you know the full accountability.

     And the Archangels do stand even at the very door; and the world shall know my Lost Teaching and the lost art of true healing. The world shall know of me, for the hour is come and the hour of fulfillment. And I am here, and in each cycle and quadrant of the year as the decades unfold I am more physical, more embodied in those who carry my Word truly.

     Therefore, know, you who have denied the cosmic Truth for paltry doctrines established by evil men such as you in long gone centuries of ignorance, you, then, shall give accounting for the entire false hierarchy of Christianity!

     And you who have limited the power, the doctrine of Moses and the prophets and replaced it, then, with your own books and tomes, you who have denied the power of Sanat Kumara20 to raise up my people, I say to you, the lost tribes of the house of Israel shall emerge from your temples and synagogues and from your cathedrals; and they shall no longer allow their body and their blood that is mine to nourish your ages-old conspiracy of denial of the true path of the inner walk with God. And all of these foundations you have laid for gain and control [afford] but temporal power that crumbles as the dust in an instant.

     I say to all who deny me in each and every child of God and who have mocked my teaching of the potential Godhood of everyone who is the issue of the Most High God: Your judgment shall come in one night, even as the judgment of Babylon shall come, and in one night you shall see your citadels of power no more!21

     Therefore, let the wise and the pure in heart remember that I do not sup with them nor should you. Seek not, then, the approbation of the powerful and the rich, for all that they have has come from my Light in you. And I take from them in this hour by my scepter and rod all that they have stolen of the Light that they have not achieved by bending the knee to the Universal Christ, to the Lord of the World, to the God of very gods.

     When you see what they shall retain by their own path of Christic initiation, beloved, and when you see what you shall retain in the same hour, then you will know who are the stars in the earth whose causal bodies keep alive the quickening fire as coals on the altar of a planet and who are the dead that weigh down a planet with their incomparable misery and selfishness.

     My Presence in the earth in this hour is a warning. I am as John the Baptist of old, for I am a Messenger going before - before the incarnation of the Christ within you, as I was always this Messenger displaying to you a path of Christhood that you might know it and become it.

     For too long have even my own in this Community heard this message without fully believing and drinking the cup and manifesting that Christhood. Do not weary us with delays and we shall not weary you with the repetition of our message. Thus, beloved, the hour is come and must be taken; and the world shall see and know that the Teaching is real because you and not another, but you have dared to embody my Word.

     Now, beloved, in this hour I choose not to comment further on world conditions or the progression of cycles but to speak of the resurrection and again the resurrection and again the resurrection, preferring, then, that your attention be upon a mighty effort from this hour to Wesak and to the celebration of my ascension, that Lord Gautama may speak to you of those things you desire to hear.

     Remember, beloved, so as you do and so as you are, you are writing the pages of history from which the Lord of the World shall read at Wesak. Thus, we shall not count our victories or our lapses until the final moment before that delivery, that you might have ultimate opportunity to write by works what is to be. For the prophecy of earth's destiny is in the hands of the embodied prophets all, and all of you who know the Spirit of my Father, Saint Germain, embody that prophecy; and prophecy is as prophecy does.

     Thus, I choose to gather the hearts of my little ones, those newly come to life. Those who have called to me for baptism in this hour I choose to receive into my Church, and I do call this "my Church Universal and Triumphant," for I would impart the blessing of communicants this day. I desire to receive the thousands who shall become white stones in the temple building.

     Let the corrupt civilizations be diminished. Let the new order of the ages appear.

     Beloved, my promise of healing is unto you. Therefore, I shall release this day through my Messenger a healing ray to you individually; and as you have prepared, as you have called, as you have allowed it, so it shall be unto you. Each one shall receive that for which he is prepared and each one may pray to me that supreme request that is most important to his soul and heart. The healing you receive, beloved, shall be the healing that you allow and that for which you have prepared in all diligence. May it be unto you according to thy word, according to thy faith, according to thy hope, according to thy charity, according to thy discipleship.

     In this conveyance, beloved, you shall learn the lesson [in order] that you may receive from my heart that for which you are ready. Remember, I have told you that the counsel of my Messenger given to you is always for your preparedness when in that day and hour I come, for my Father has sent me.

     Now remember Moses. For as Moses did raise up that brazen serpent in the wilderness that all who did look upon it were healed,22 so look upon my scepter of authority and my staff, for it does symbolize the Light raised up in you. Visualize it now upon the spinal altar. Receive it in the mind and crown and third eye and hold it there. For in thy all-seeing is thy wholeness and if thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of Light.23

     I am forever your Jesus, your brother. In my love for you I am stern with you that you will realize that to win the prize does take all due diligence. Now let us see many victors arise from this Community. I decree it and I am the fulfillment of the Law, even as I am with you unto the end of your struggle and your karma.

     This dictation by Jesus Christ was delivered by the Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Easter Sunday, April 3, 1988, during the five-day Easter Retreat at the Royal Teton Ranch, Montana. [N.B. Bracketed material denotes words unspoken yet implicit in the dictation, added by the Messenger under the Master's direction for clarity in the written word.] Prior to the dictation the Messenger read Mark 16 on the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Acts of Peter and the Twelve Apostles from the Nag Hammadi library, and an excerpt from the Gnostic text Pistis Sophia, bk. 3, chap. 102 (see Pearl no. 47).

15 See "The Hymn of the Pearl," a Gnostic poem thought to have been composed by the apostle Thomas. It portrays the soul's descent from the highest spiritual plane into the planes of illusion with loss of memory of her origin. There she faces the trial and tribulation of the lower life until she responds to the Call from Home, which eventuates in her ascent culminating in her union with the Divine. On October 4, 1987, the Messenger delivered a lecture on the Lost Years and the Lost Teachings of Jesus in which she read and gave commentary on "The Hymn of the Pearl" from G. A. Gaskell, Gnostic Scriptures Interpreted (London: C. W. Daniel Co., 1927), pp. 43-68. See also Jesus, 1987 Pearls of Wisdom, vol. 30 no. 56, p. 494.
