Ho! Come to the fountain of the water of Life.1
Rise, O water of Life! Even so, descend.
And this sacred fire of thy Father and thy Mother, O soul,
Shall indeed consume all lesser desire
In the divine embrace of Alpha and Omega in the crown [chakra],
Thence descending to the heart [chakra] -
I, Metteyya,2 come to minister unto the hearts of those who would be perfected in Love. Therefore we perform a surgery this night for the removal of the tumor of fear.3 Let it be cut out by needle rays that consume and cut, cut and consume. Fear is the absence of well-being, the absence of confidence in thy Father and thy Mother.
Seek not the earthly union. Seek, then, true Father and Mother of Light in whom there is no [variableness, neither] shadow of turning.4 Thus, beloved, all disappointments in the human idea of "parent" drop as you recognize that the Father and the Mother of thy life have been with thee always. Alpha and Omega are not separate; and they through Helios and Vesta, and Helios and Vesta through God and Goddess Meru, have been with thee always and always on the walk, the walk toward the fountain of the water of Life.
Nearness of thy God, nearness of thy God - if you fear it, as some do fear [the] living Guru, then, beloved, you know there is unresolved error, sin, karma. There is inner shame. You fear to meet the LORD God, who will walk and talk with you in the garden of the Mystery School.
O Adam, O Eve, where art thou? Where art thou? you who have descended from immortality to mortality.5
Resolve, then. Let resolution come. Let it come by the opening to the Father-Mother God. The fear is in thyself, not in the Divine Parents. And though we express gratitude to the human representatives, we must place our trust beyond the veil [in] Alpha and Omega. Thus they have used, [wherever] possible, human parents [to represent them to their children on earth]. Do not expect [human parents] to be gods and therefore set up idols, cast down idols, hate idols, fear idols.
Blessed ones, the fear to stand in the presence of the Guru or the Father-Mother God, the fear of Love as comfort or chastening is the idolatrous sense. Cast it out! You will not benefit from our presence if you do not make your inner peace and [your] outer peace with the Divine Parents.
Let the soul, then, be at peace. Let the soul know that peace comes from the surrender of inordinate desire6 that causes the individual to sin, [i.e.,] to cross the line of the Law for something [that is] desired more than the fulfillment of the Law itself.
Therefore there are those upon earth who have not understood this teaching nor [do they] pause to examine the profound psychology of it. Though they be Lightbearers they are yet walking with their backs to the Sun, away from the Sun. They cannot face the Sun of Helios and Vesta nor the Son of God! For they yet retain in their garments that schism born of wrong desire and [that] wrong desire, [which,] of course, [is] born of ignorance.
Thus there is a futility in rebellion against the Law, beloved. And you must understand that too much of this mortal stuff within the subconscious disqualifies the individual from the path of chelaship even under the beloved El Morya, who has certainly stuck out his neck and stretched that neck to the limits on behalf of those who did not have sufficient inner wholeness to be able to sustain a relationship in honor to this great one [El Morya], who has come to save his own and Sanat Kumara's [chelas].
Therefore it is true and learn the lesson well: the individual must have enough balance within himself, within his psyche to hold friendship with the Guru, not to fear the Guru! And therefore, fear having been cast out, doubt will also disappear. But out of doubt, beloved, [which is] the [willful] withholding of trust [in the Guru], there does come hatred of the Guru. You may have covered it over many times and sugarcoated it again, but yet it remains [in both the subconscious and the unconscious7].
Resolution is required in this hour; and if it does require you to pen a letter to the Messenger to open wide the garment and reveal these things, then do so. For, beloved, Truth is the deliverer and in this Truth there is a purging [of the soul in the fires of forgiveness].
You must understand that she (who walks in me and I in her [i.e., the Messenger]) understands with profound compassion the division in the members [of one's psyche as well as] the mantle of Guru [as] the focal point for the hatred of the dweller[-on-the-threshold].8 Yes, there is a polarization but it is so that you might choose (even by the appearance of the one sent to you as Messenger) between your own Messenger - who is Christ the Lord, the Holy One of God within you - and [its antithesis personified in] the dweller. Thus there is indeed a polarization; and the personages, the players of Absolute Reality and Unreality within thy life, become self-evident [on the road to the Inner Buddha].
Thus spake Maitreya. Thus spake every avatar and world teacher from the beginning. Let the mirrorlike wisdom mirror back to you the precise image of what is.9 Then you can decide if what is is [or is] not to your liking. And [if it is not, you can] replace it with what is - [not with that which exists but] for the moment but [with that] which does exist in higher spheres. [Yes, you can replace what ought not to be and never should have been with] what ought to be and [you can fill the vacancy of what you have not become with] what you can become.
The will to be God - the will to be God is a fire infolding itself veritably. And though you know not what this desire shall bring to you, so [it shall be revealed to you] once you take the first step and say:
My LORD and my God, my own beloved I AM Presence, my very own beloved I AM Presence, my Lord Sanat Kumara:
I take the step. I will to be my God in manifestation. So initiate me, Beloved [Guru].
Blessed ones, it is an unknown path until you walk it but it is not an unknown God,10 for God who is in his heaven is also in your heart and you know him heart to heart. But if the heart be hardened,11 where then is the inner knowing? If it be hardened, beloved, then God may, yes, be unknown. Thus, you may take a step backward and another and tarry for the softening of the heart by love, by mercy, by diligence [in practicing the precepts of the Law that you might once again approach your God by the inner knowing of the heart].
So the path of the disciplined ones does begin. [And] all of [your] becoming by the hearts of the Dhyani Buddhas must be by the merciful heart. By [the merciful heart of] Kuan Yin [which you make your own], enter in. By the flame of Mercy the door is opened, and there [shall] be many doors that open and then shut behind thee as chamber upon chamber you enter, in succeeding cycles, the initiations of the [Five] Dhyani Buddhas.
Blessed hearts, you have heard this teaching of the five poisons.12 Did you not take note [as you listened] how in times past the levels of these poisons within the system of the mind and the emotional body were greater than they are now? Could you not look back upon your life and see how the path of the Buddha taught to you by Saint Germain and Jesus and the Messengers has brought you to a certain level of control over these poisons and their manifestations?
Yes, I come with a rod, and with my rod I measure each one.13 Now I see the progress, for it is progress that I measure. My eye is on the "doughnut" and I count the increments of increase.
Blessed ones, the increase of the threefold flame may be imperceptible to the eye but that increase shows new rings of holy auric field of white light, until veiled in veils upon veils of white light of the Mother the true God-identity is shielded from the prying eye of the world. Yes, beloved, the increase of the Light of the heart increases the concentric rings of the Buddha.
Blessed ones, begin at the beginning. The beginning is the white fire core of being and the White Fire Body14 of thee and thy twin flame in the beginning [with God in the Great Central Sun]. If you fear the white light, how shall you enter the etheric octave? Thus, wear the white garment physically now and then to remind oneself that the beginning is the beginning.
And when you choose to follow in the footsteps of Serapis Bey and the legions of the Fourth Ray you shall know the flame of Hope, for you shall have returned to the point of origin and the midpoint in the cycle of the seven rays. There, then, on the point of the three o'clock line of your Cosmic Clock15 you will be God-centered in the heart of Helios and Vesta, centered tightly as a coiled spring in the very heart of God-Control.
And all things that shall go forth from that sun center shall proceed because you [shall] have wound the swaddling garment [of the Fourth Ray] around yourself. For once having so established the spirals and spheres of the five secret rays, beloved, you then entertain "Buddhas unawares"16 and they come trailing Bodhisattvas [in their glory]17 who hold their trains and adorn them with flowers.
Therefore take unto thyself the secret-ray spheres. The requirement: peace. Peace, be still, O winds of desire!18 Peace, be still. Peace, be still! Peace must abound, for the very trembling and the quivering [that takes place in] the establishment [around the heart chakra] of the concentric spheres [of the five secret rays of the Five Dhyani Buddhas], translucent, pastel, fiery colors of light, must be in the stillness of wisdom's mirror and mirrorlike wisdom, stillness in the heart.
It is [also] necessary for the sine wave to bring one to the center [of the heart, the center of "be-ness"] as the babe [is centered in its be-ness] in the womb. Thus, to attain the dominion of a Matter cosmos one must first recoil back into the fire of Spirit and know the yangness of concentrated self and selfhood.
Once this is mastered, beloved, then you see [that when you] release the full-blown manifestation of self as expansiveness occupying space, you will have the mastery of the yin manifestation; for you shall have already concentrated the geometry of the crystal of self and you will not lose it in [the] expansion [process]. And therefore no longer shall the yin manifestation be a cycle of disintegration/decomposition, disintegration and death; for, you see, then it shall be the Omega that is already saturated point by point by the Alpha. [Then you shall be God-centered on the 3/9 axis of God-Self Control and God-Self Realization, that coiled spring in the heart of Helios and Vesta and Mighty Victory, who are the hierarchs on these lines.]
It is in the imperfect human condition that the yin quickly becomes the out-of-control state. It is [likewise] in the imperfect [human] condition that the yang cannot express the fullness of joy. But in the cosmos of the absolute manifestation of the miraculous T'ai Chi, behold Alpha and Omega! Behold the White Fire Bodies of twin flames! Behold the perfect balance of cosmic forces! And upon this polarity there is the weaving of the warp and woof of these secret-ray spheres.
Blessed is he that shall establish the habitation of the Buddha in these spheres where I AM THAT I AM, where there is the God-center and the white fire core of being centered in the twelve petals of the heart chakra. Be it here! Be it now! Be it in the foreverness of God. Be everywhere. But be the point of Light in God-Control, [in God-Reality,] in balance.
O thou spiritual being, I AM Metteyya. This Light is disturbing and bestirring. So it does bring to the surface [of conscious awareness] the [subconscious] elements of fear. Fear not, little flock; it is the Buddha's good pleasure to give you the kingdoms19 of the Mind of wisdom. They, [these kingdoms of God's consciousness,] are gifts but you cannot receive them all. For the polarity of receptivity, [the Alpha-Omega magnet self-contained,] is not yet, but it is becoming.
See, then, and watch and observe the self behold, [the self] behold as you then must face the aura of Gautama, Sanat Kumara as though you cannot escape, you cannot digress. [There must be] no diversion, no taking away of the attention. For I am here in the full lineage of the Buddhas to the point of Sanat Kumara and beyond.
I present, therefore, the person of the Guru whom you left off [serving] long ago in this or that scene of Atlantis or Lemuria. [For the duration of the dictation] you are locked in to the spiral of my being, beloved. For I would have you face the moment when [you,] as children, [found that] something did not please you in that person of the Guru [whom] you were with, [when] you allowed something [the Guru said or did] to give you an excuse for turning to another direction [and to another, less whole, for direction].
Blessed ones, when this dictation is concluded you may go your way freely. But for the moments that you give me your attention, as your Father [who does stand in the place of Guru] I require you to look and look now; for the one screen of Darjeeling20 becomes many, a screen for each one. The scene [of your leaving off from the Mystery School or from the living Guru] is replayed to your mind through the third eye and at inner levels.
The soul must review, the soul must review, the soul must review and know, no longer [to remain] in ignorance, what is [that which is] the original cause of all suffering that has ensued by your departure from that interlocking relationship of the figure-eight flow between the true Guru and the true chela, not the false guru and not the false chela but the Divine Reality of Alpha and Omega [that can be known] in these material spheres [through the Guru-chela relationship].
You see, beloved, you have heard of the sin of ignorance and you have seen the conception of that great wisdom of the Dharmakaya,21 and you have desired that [that] wisdom [might] consume the ignorance. [Yet,] if you would [continue to] be ignorant [of] or [to] ignore your own [karmic] handwriting on the wall of ancient times [that now falls due], I say, be [ye] far from me! You are not even candidates for Maitreya's Mystery School. But I receive you [for the duration of this dictation] on your terms and you have come to hear and listen.
Therefore I speak the truth that is most essential. Therefore listen well: All suffering has come from wrong desire and wrong desire arises when one says, "I can no longer entertain the intensity of this God-man, this Guru, that is before me. I must escape. I can no longer sustain myself in that presence."
Beloved ones, if [at the hour of your desertion of the Path] you had known the teaching of my Lord Gautama, even the morsels you heard this evening, if it had been at the forefront of the mind and if you had been admonished by angels of Buddhic realms to resist that smoky-colored vibration of hell and to accept the white light,22 your course may have taken another turning.
You must remember that at that moment [of momentous decision] you do have recourse, that you are not under the pressure that you think you are under. But the very force of Death and Hell itself does [toil to] convince you that you are under such pressure that you cannot sustain another moment in proximity to the living fire [of the living Guru]. Since it has happened to you again and again in your state of ignorance and since in your state of ignorance you did not desire enlightenment, then, you see, it is almost as a serpent swallowing his tail, [and his thrice-told tales of ignorance,] round and round and round again.
And so I come. I come because you have called. The call compels the answer! But the answer is not compelled to meet the will of the caller. Thus it is God's will that answers [the call] and you have free will to receive or not to receive [that answer].
Therefore look, beloved. Some have been truly spoiled by their parents' human [consciousness] in many lifetimes. Some have spoiled others in many lifetimes. And it is another serpent swallowing its tail as cause produces effect and effect [produces] causes again.
This indulgence of self (thanks not to well-meaning parents but [to] parents [who are] simply ignorant and to your own [ignorant] parenting of your own soul), this, beloved, is ignorance begetting ignorance. And therefore there is no co-measurement with the true path of discipleship [that ought to be derived from the parent-child relationship]; and therefore you are either too easy upon yourselves or too hard upon yourselves. Both are states of idolatry.
First, one has to understand that as the Guru is the God-man, so the chela is the God-manifestation. If you do not desire to be God in manifestation, you will consider that you are not equal to the task [of being the living chela of the living Guru] and [you will] have a very good excuse because ["of course"] you are ["only"] human and [so you will] go your way after your human gods, beginning with yourself.
"I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me.23
"All things are possible to me in God.
"I believe, yea, my Lord, my Guru Sanat Kumara:
"Help [thou] mine unbelief!"24
I, Maitreya, am the answer to this prayer, beloved. I have come to help your unbelief. I come to strip you [of that self-doubt which begets the fear of the Guru]. Be stripped, then, of this idolatry of self, this indulgence [that we see] in Western civilization, which is [your self-]ignorance [of both the chela and the Guru].
"Children should not be required to do what they do not wish to do." So say the indulgent ones. Well, of course, they must be required. And when the child respects the parent and the wisdom of the parent, it is the beginning of the path of the Guru-chela relationship whereby that child will [one day] accept the true and living Guru; and wise parents will gladly surrender their human attachments [to "their" child, who is truly God's child,] that the soul might move on.
Children in the West are not being raised up to be chelas of El Morya! And, alas, it is also true within this Community. And when they are spoiled, you do not see [the] light in their eyes, [which is always a visible sign of the soul's contact with the Inner Christ, and] you do not see the Christ descending in[to their temples]. And they will whine and weep and complain, and it is truly because they are not being given the disciplined path of Love for which their souls yearn.
And soon they are tyrants. And soon and far too late you will understand that you have allowed the dweller[-on-the-threshold] to enter that body instead of the Christ! For in your idolatry of yourself you have placed idolatry upon the child and declared him a god or a king or a prince or a genius before he has had the opportunity to be the child and to know [that] the path of [joint-]heirship25 [with the living Christ] must be won.
The [carry-over of the] God-mastery of the individual [lifetime to lifetime] is not automatic; and therefore those who are the teachers and parents of [both] themselves and others must understand that not the whipping of the mortal but the loving, the comforting, and the chastening of the soul [is the key that unlocks the God-manifestation in each succeeding incarnation of the soul].
How can you do this if you do not have wisdom? The wisdom of the Five Dhyani Buddhas is necessary. If you cannot even perceive [much less] desire the wisdom you have not, so saturated are you with the five poisons, I say, trust the message of Metteyya! Trust my message, beloved, and simply follow it.
You do not know the whys and wherefores of how to teach yourself to read. You follow teachers. You are obedient. You do your homework and you graduate to the next class. So let it be in the spiritual school. This is not a do-it-yourself school, beloved. It is a place where we who know the jagged rocks, the dangerous precipices and what lies ahead lead; and you must follow if you would make even small progress in this life. [Yet,] you can make great progress, but you must begin at the beginning.
Purity of heart is the white fire core of being. Instead of beating yourself, open up. Let God descend into your temple and see what God can do! Then you will know the sense of limitless freedom within the geometry of a selfhood whose light and energy is governed by the dispensations [handed down] and [the] covenants [made by] God with the evolutions of this planetary home.
You are not giants in stature nor are you dwarfs (that is, by the relativity of your own self-comparison). Do not be a dwarf on the Path; do not be a giant, I say. Be my friend and then you will find that I am your friend and we can get rid of [that] fear [of the Guru which] begets [self-doubt and self-]ignorance.
Ignorance is a state of ultimate insult to the Buddha, the Inner Buddha of the heart. When you shun self-knowledge you are as the animals. When you shun self-purpose and enlightenment you have no part with the symphony of the cosmos [or with] the ongoing movement of this community of cosmos. It is a sangha of the spheres.
And we move on! And the timetables turn. And we have chosen to tarry to saturate the earth with our wisdom bodies, our auric light, the white fire and the yellow brought to you by Jophiel and Hope.26
Thus, in balance you have received the white fire of the white fire core of being through Hope in polarity with Gabriel. And you have received the inner circle of yellow fire from Jophiel in polarity with Christine. Thus these four have come to you that you might begin at the beginning. Thus the white fire and the yellow seal, or sandwich, as you say, even the five secret rays.27
We have therefore placed upon planet earth the entire electromagnetic field of the Sangha of the Buddhas and the Bodhisattvas. We will see, then, who does rise in vibration to be able to become part of this vast nucleus of light. And when the cycles turn, one and all, as a great cosmic city of Light, shall move on and move on, leaving behind those who lack the courage, lack the courage, [I say,] to face the One, even the Holy One of God and the Nameless One who is [positioned at] the white fire core of this Community of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and [chelas who are] chalices of Mother Flame.
There is an integral correspondence in this hour. Those who sense our presence seek knowledge of Absolute Good, seek knowledge of Absolute Evil, seek knowledge of a cosmic history28 and whence they have come, how that journey unfolded, and how they shall return. There is nothing more important in the mind and the heart of those reaching for this sun center of this Community than to find the answers to these questions and to find the questions satisfactorily answered.
Because of the yearning of hearts such as these, God has sustained his Messengers from century to century to provide the sign and the way out when each one would come to that moment of ripening, that place in an embodiment when the mind and the heart are poised to be plucked by the LORD God as sweet fruit to be devoured that the [lesser] one might be assimilated by the Greater and the Greater bring forth again that [lesser] one [now fashioned] in the higher image.
Would you be fruit on the table of the Guru? Would you be assimilated as the Alpha, the Omega? Do you fear to be assimilated by God and to come forth again, now impressed in thy atoms with the divine pattern of wisdom? You do not fear to take in God, to assimilate his Body and his Blood. God does not fear loss to enter in and be assimilated by you; God is still God. Do not fear. Do not fear to be assimilated by the living Guru. Thou shalt emerge, face radiant, soul the mirror of the Infinite One.
Drink me while I am drinking thee. Drink me while I am drinking thee! Understand the meaning of surrender. Many cannot follow my word. Thus many left Jesus when I gave my word through him: "Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have no Life in you."29 So I say today, unless you become even the flesh, even the blood that is assimilated by the Great God, who is Guru, you shall have no Life in you.
Therefore, let the line of the skin separating you from total oneness be redefined. You can move into the spiritual sense of self to be assimilated, only to be poured back into the form that has been translated by alchemy, alchemized and therefore ready once again to receive thyself now endued with God. Is this not the kneading of the dough? Is this not the remaking again and again of the bread for the Lord's table?
You see, beloved, those who fear assimilation by the Guru, by the Buddha, by the Dharma, by the Sangha, they have not the sense of God-identity already within. They do not understand that [in] being God they can never again lose their Godhood. Those, then, who are without God (have not the threefold flame or have it not sufficiently developed) are the very ones who need to release [themselves from their egocentricity that they might] be assimilated by God. Thus it requires faith and the leap of faith, you see; for only by faith can one achieve understanding.30
Therefore come the World Teachers to teach the Path with certainty so that those who cannot sense it, feel its vibration, [or] breathe in the sacred fire breath [of their God] will yet make that leap of faith and [by] the passage [of the soul through] the sacraments of God enter in before they [may be able to] perceive or understand the necessity to enter in.
Understanding, beloved, as a flame of wisdom, is the conclusion of faith. It cannot come until you are a pillar of faith, [until you] enter in to a relationship of trust. Therefore, I say, by free will pick your Guru, any Ascended Master, and stick to that one like glue and trust that one and do not attempt to be your own messenger, your own teacher, your own doctor, lawyer, or Indian chief. Blessed ones, you cannot.
And therefore, those who are not permitted to be here are those who insist on entertaining their "voices." And [their] "security" is that they, then, [thinking themselves "self-possessed" when in actuality they are "demon possessed," have the] "guarantee" through those demons [of] their own independence from the real and living Guru even as they go forth to pontificate and declare what wondrous messages they have received. And [then they] justify by all manner of confirmation of surrounding events and feelings and visions that they are now messengers of the Guru, when they have truly not even begun [on the Path], for they have not expelled the demons and the discarnates nor called [upon] the violet flame to heal the holes in the aura nor mastered the sacred fire.
And, beloved ones, the sacred fire [uncontrolled] in the lower chakras will play tricks upon you night and day, giving you fantasies and illusions of all kinds of imaginations of interchanges with heavenly beings when these are either figments [of the imagination] or the entertaining not of angels or Buddhas but of discarnates.
There is, then, among many, due to ignorance and self-ignorance, I say, an inflated sense of self that is a spiritual pride that overtakes one on the Path. And pride is like building a tower higher and higher with no foundations. One day it will come tumbling down in a mighty crash and that one, then, [so possessed of his spiritual or intellectual pride, rather than self-possessed of his God,] is considered [to be] a psychological misfit not able to maintain [a standing] in society and surely not able to maintain [a] true relationship in balance with one's Christ Self. Hence that one is not able to be accepted [as a chela] by any Guru in heaven or earth. It requires, beloved, a certain self-mastery even to be considered as a living chela of an Ascended Master.
The [fact that physical] balance has been taken from you in this civilization by wrong diet has been made clear [to you] by myself, because for want of that discipline I have had to reject many. I simply cannot hold on to one who cannot hold on to light. Thus I have told you "no sugar"31 and I have meant it. But you must be balanced in taking in that balance of food that will give to you neither extreme [of the yin or yang].
We have presented the diet of the Eastern adepts32 - which you must perfect for yourselves; it is not all written down. It [in] itself is not perfected. But do not neglect to experiment with something that has so much validity and that does work. You will soon discover what does not work for you.
Our teachings have been designed to bring you to the place where you could hold that balance [of the Christ Presence] in the emotions as well as in the imagination. You know when the body is weak how the mind does wander into pockets of negativity [and] condemnation toward [self or] others. This, beloved, shows that in the body you are not the master in Christ of [the body] or of the mind.
Thus, when you achieve that certain level of your own [physical and emotional] balance, you will truly know when you are able to be the true friend of your chosen Ascended Master. Friendship is loyalty. It is faith. It is trust. It is all qualities of the blue ray [such] as El Morya has expressed in your regard, upholding you as his friends when, I must say, you did betray him even to his very face.
These things ought not to have been! And you are paying a pretty penny in his absence. Thus the Law will teach one way or another the great need for balance, the need for gratitude, the need for appreciation, and the need to hold up one's own end of the bargain. And that is what a Guru-chela relationship is, beloved. For you it is a bargain! And it only becomes a bargain for the Master when you return to him such service and light whereby [because of your constancy, dependability, trustworthiness, and honor] he can increase his service to the planet and to others.
Thus I say, if the Masters have been willing to take a chance on you, even though there is the possibility to fail and there is the possibility to victory, I say, will you not take a chance on Maitreya, on the teaching given and, above all, on yourself, beloved?
Prove [to] yourself that God is where you are. You have searched for this teaching all of your lives. You have found it! The key to the kingdom is given to you in the Om and the I AM THAT I AM. Is it too simple for thee and therefore do you forget [that] such power [is] in the I AM name?
Blessed ones, be weary of knowledge that is not applied and God-Self realized. This is the beginning of wisdom. What you know you must become, else you will lose that knowledge and have to go [on] long journeys across the miles of cosmos to find it again. In this age, with the coming of my person, all shall know the stripping [from their person] of ill-gotten gains. All shall retain - for neither heaven [nor] earth can pry from that one - true attainment, true light, true God-Self awareness.
Cherish the sweet savor of the victory and pursue it as you would follow the aroma of your mother's apple pie all the way home.
Now, beloved, I release you and your soul from the inner riveting of the attention on the moment of the leaving off from the Mystery School or the living Guru. Now by your free will you may choose to delve or not to delve, to study or not to study, to pierce the veil of ignorance or not, to enter a walk of illumination or not.
May God be with you and convey to you at some level the urgency of the hour. Change is the order of the day. Change is required of every one of you. May you discover the changes most urgent to your soul's victory and make them.
This dictation by Lord Maitreya was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet at the conclusion of the Monday evening service on Tuesday, July 4, 1989, during Free El Morya! A Fourth of July Prayer Vigil held at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. It is available with the dictation of Serapis Bey, which immediately followed, on 90-min. audiocassette B89097. [N.B. Bracketed material denotes words unspoken yet implicit in the dictation, added by the Messenger under Lord Maitreya's direction for clarity in the written word.] Throughout these notes PoW is the abbreviation for Pearls of Wisdom.
