Fourth of July Address
"Choose Life, Not Death!"

     O Sons and Daughters of Liberty, I do come. For I also have walked these miles even as Saint Germain did quit the city of Washington and wrapping his cloak about him did walk to the Inner Retreat.1 It is a walk that I love, beloved. And so as I stride the miles of America bearing my torch I also survey the hearts [of the people] and the scenes of life and elementals in distress and angels who yet weep.

     Therefore, beloved, I am here this evening, for it is my Home also. And in the cosmic consciousness of Liberty, I place the magnet of my Presence here in polarity with "the Sweet One," the Cosmic Being above.2 May Liberty on this altar therefore draw down that flame of Cosmic Justice. And may Justice and Liberty be graced by Mercy and the Compassionate Heart, even the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

     Let the Universal Mother Omega shower the light of this celebration of the conception of the United States of America and let that light be the coming near of the Divine Mother and the pressing in. For those who love the Mother shall receive the nectar of her light of the crown chakra; and those who despise the Mother and her seed,3 upon them shall the judgment of the Mother press in.

     Thus it is a solemn hour, beloved, and so I would speak to you. May you be seated in the heart of the Cosmic Threefold Flame of Liberty.

     Can any of you forget in all eternity the figure of the white goddess, [the] "Goddess of Democracy," in Tiananmen Square, how it stood as the hope of the world for change?4 And the hope of the world, beloved, was for the restoration of the flame of the Divine Mother from Lemuria. These ancient peoples also remember Mu. They also remember the bygone days when the Divine Mother moved among her children on earth. Can anyone ever forget in all eternity [the moment] when that statue was mowed down by tanks and thus the [whole world beheld the] crushing, the disintegration of something that had stood for a new freedom?

     In their hearts and souls, beloved, they also know me and they also know Kuan Yin and others who bear the Mother Flame.

     Blessed hearts, terrorists who have even the makings of nuclear warheads and surely the malintent against what they see as the hideous satanic America have already looked [through their "gun sights"] and placed their "cross hairs" on my statue in New York Harbor.

     Will you understand, beloved, that the Flame of Liberty and the Mother of Liberty are under siege by the hordes of hell in this hour? I tell you this as I ask you to defend my flame. The flame of my torch is the flame of Cosmic Christ Illumination.

     Beloved, I uphold the torch of the Cosmic Christ, Maitreya, and of the Lord of the World, Gautama Buddha. This is the "new land!"5 This is the land of the Buddhas and you are Bodhisattvas internalizing the Mother Flame that you, too, might become Buddha, the Inner Buddha which you already are.

     Liberty's flame, therefore, expanded in the earth, placed here as a Cosmic Threefold Flame by dispensation a year ago6 is hated by the fallen ones. And its increase, beloved, does enrage them. It does enrage them to the point of insanity. Their profanity knows no bounds and their desecration reaches the very depths of hell.

     Thus, beloved, I come for a plea that you might see the Order of the Golden Lily,7 which you have celebrated in full force Friday upon Friday in your sessions so dedicated to the purity of God within you, [as the means to assist many souls in transition, not the least of which your own]. Remember, the Order of the Golden Lily is the order of the threefold flame that has become ascension's white fire [in those who guard and keep that flame in balance in their hearts].

     Let the threefold flame command your attention each Friday night from now on. Pursue the balancing of the flame in your heart, beloved. [Call to your Holy Christ Self to superimpose its perfectly balanced threefold flame over your heart.] For I come and I would come each Friday to initiate you through the threefold flame; but you must have the flame balanced, beloved, [if you would receive my initiations].8

     Therefore work on that balance with your decrees but also in your life. Notice what is wanting in the qualities of these three divine attributes and see that you fill them in and work on them and notice where you may lack will or strength or faith or the power and protection of God. Let it be filled in. Notice where wisdom is wanting and true illumination is not pursued so that the door whereby the Dhyani Buddhas might enter yet remains closed by the sin of ignorance.

     Notice, beloved, when you could have been more loving or kind, given more of yourself, extended comfort, helpfulness, and [a] true upholding of the fire of the Ruby Ray to bring into alignment the self-indulgent ones, the self-deceived ones, the self-blinded ones. Be willing to stand for your brother and to stand for love and to not let that one go aside into self-indulgence and lose the day for Morya.

     Blessed ones, you need not be clairvoyant to know which plume needs raising up. Always the shortest one, beloved, raise up the shortest one. For the law of the threefold flame is that the other two must descend to the lowest common denominator, for the threefold flame desires above all else balance. Thus you will lose what you gain if it is out of step [with the most pressing need of the hour, which is balance,] and if you do not [therefore] raise [up] the lowest level of self [to the highest level of self].

     Often, beloved, individuals simply cannot muster the will, the determination, or the strength to self-correct in those areas where they have little in [soul] development. And therefore, instead of going after that which is wanting they continue to build upon those areas where they do have strengths, and thus they become more and more out of balance and it is not true building. For there is no true illumination unless it is ensconced and braced by the fire to do God's holy will and by the love, the miraculous love of Christ.

     Therefore you see the brittleness of the carnal mind and the human intellect which is not based on profound illumination, for there is no love and no love of the will of God to brace it. And so it goes, beloved, without wisdom and true faith there can be no Divine Love, but a paltry sentimentality, a humanism without a divinity.

     Divinity when in the chalice of the human may flower. But, beloved, one must have that blessedness and that kindness that does care for the human envelope that it might surrender itself unto the chalice of the soul, the heart, and the Christ to be able to contain even the divinity of the I AM Presence. Take people where you find them and take them a little bit farther along by love, by illumination, and by such an example as Morya gives you of his profound devotion to God's holy will.

     God's holy will is like a treasure that a child seeks, and in finding it [he] is filled with joy and childlike revelry. Beloved hearts, there is a moment when you have prayed for the will of God and the will of God does manifest in your life, and it is so perfect and so wonderful. And all the things that you have hoped for, which you thought were beyond even the recognition of God's will for you, do come to pass. It is like finding a treasure and it is worth waiting for and decreeing for and searching for, even as your El Morya has been worth all of [the] many lifetimes of [your] seeking.

     I know you desire not to lose him and therefore I am come, come to you with a Mother's love for my Son El Morya and all of my Sons of heaven. I come to you, beloved, for I know that you too would rise in this stature of being the Ascended Master friend of Light. Well, I say, be the chela friend of Light and incorporate your own self-mastery step by step.

     Beloved, the Liberty that is called [forth] whereby the captives are set free is [the] Liberty [that is] there [where] Christ is.9 Where there is the Mother Flame of Liberty the Christ is born, and where the Christ is born is Antichrist. And the forces of abortion in America this day do embody the viciousness of Antichrist. And in the sophistication and the [seeming] calmness of their faces that do belie the inner torment and the momentums of Darkness, there is the simple statement that is the greatest lie of all. It is the [supposed] right of a woman to own her body and her right to privacy at the expense of the life that is God.

     Blessed hearts, this is the philosophy of serpents taken on in some cases by children of the Light, who ought to know better. First of all, beloved ones, you do not own your body. It is on loan to you by Elohim as a garment for your soul. You did not create your body, therefore how can you own it? You have a "landlord" who has allowed you to rent space in this body that he has created, the house and the temple you occupy; and one day you shall vacate it.

     And so, beloved, it is for the very reason of [your] being that these fallen ones have denied the Law of Life. Your reason for being, [that of] you and your beloved twin flame, is to be co-creators with Elohim with full God-responsibility for your creation. All that you do and think and feel and say is your creation. But the greatest opportunity of all, beloved, [that is yours by reason of your beingness in God,] is to bring forth life and to give life to another in the form of that body temple created by Elohim in conjunction with the body elemental, the Maha Chohan, Mother Mary, and angels of form, angels of mind, angels of individuality, who serve under the great Lords [of Form, of Mind and of Individuality].

     Therefore understand, beloved, that your primary and original reason for being is to be co-creators of life [with that Life who is God]. And for this purpose the Divine Mother has endowed you with the sacred fire, and it is indeed sacred. And out of that sacred fire the material components, even the seed and the egg, are endowed with a God consciousness, else, beloved, this would be the mere reproduction of a species or of mechanization man [on a parallel with] the animals, who do not ensoul God in their creation.

     But the sons and daughters of God have gone forth, beloved, to be co-creators and therefore this gift to create must be held as the gift of God to be honored, to be respected. It is therefore the supreme responsibility of man and woman to consecrate their bodies to give Elohim the opportunity to create a new temple for a soul with a mission and a destiny. For the sons and daughters of God, life therefore is holy and may be lived by them in the Holy of Holies.

     These fallen ones and the [embodied] serpents, beloved, who have been judged by God and feel the curse of their own evil upon them (who [for their open warfare against God and his Christ] have lost their threefold flame) - who do not love their offspring but only live to use what light they can garner from others to consume it on their lusts10 - have every reason to demand abortion and to have it on demand. For you see, they care not for that life which is their own and there is a hatred, a very hatred [of God and his offspring] that is sown into the creation that they bring forth for their own ego adornment. Knowing, then, that they are cut off from the Light,11 they know that their offspring do not have Light. And therefore they view abortion as ["their right"] simply [because for them it is] the termination of the beginning of the creation of a body that has neither soul nor divine spark.

     Go not after them. Do not imitate them. Do not follow their philosophy. They have not submitted to Almighty God but have challenged even Elohim. They will not place themselves as responsible co-creators under Elohim to bring forth the Christed one; for having denied the Christ, the Christ is denied to them.12 And if perchance they may have the karma to bring forth a Lightbearer, blessed hearts, they are sure to abort that one lest they may give to that one the culmination of their developed genetic system and the developed carnal mind and the [sometimes superior evolution of the] brain itself.

     We see, then, the fallen angels who have created a godless mechanization man; and they desire to control the propagation of this mechanization man. In fact they consider that mechanization man has gotten out of hand on this planetary body and [that] they have been educated by Lightbearers. They have [gotten] mixed in with the children of the Light and they themselves have taken up a devotion to the one true God. And they themselves, [this robotic creation,] in some cases have earned a threefold flame, which their creators no longer have access to. Thus [their soulless parents] become enraged [as they lose control of their offspring whose devotion to the God Flame now supersedes their human or Nephilim loyalties].

     The peoples of the world have multiplied to the place where they may overturn their overlords and their false creators. Therefore these [Nephilim overlords and false creators, i.e., the embodied fallen angels,] are the leaders in the abortion movement worldwide, abortion to limit the [numbers of] children [of the Light] upon earth disguised as abortion for "population control." Using abortion, then, as a means of birth control is absolutely unacceptable to Elohim for the sons and daughters of God.

     You will always find that the philosophies and the arguments of the fallen ones are given to convince those whom they think are the ignorant masses [to do their bidding], even the godless mechanization man. And so many times their serpent lies are taken up by children of God, who should know better. And they are taken up, beloved, because of inordinate desire, because of [willful] ignorance, because of greed and avarice, because of ego and pride and lust.

     Thus all of the poisons of the Dhyani Buddhas,13 when they are present in the children of the Light and are not rooted out, blind them to the serpentine, treacherous lies of these fallen ones that are designed not only to limit their own mechanization man, whom they fear will rise up in anger and overthrow them, but [also] to limit the productivity [of the children of the Light] and the covering of the earth with the Lightbearers.

     Therefore, beloved, those who would remain free from vulnerability to the fallen ones must swiftly pursue the mysteries and the initiations of the Dhyani Buddhas. You can watch yourself, beloved, through your own Holy Christ Self, through the inner eye of the soul, who knows everything, through the All-Seeing Eye of [God focused in] the third-eye chakra. And you may observe and you may call to your Holy Christ Self and to the Inner Buddha to show you where those poisons are present and how you can root them out and replace them with the glorious image of the golden Buddha!

     Wherever you see corruption in the self or another replace it with the glorious image of the golden Buddha and see that Buddha smiling back at you out of that person, out of the [chakras, the] self or [the] consciousness. Whatever you see that is imperfect in another or yourself, beloved, [whenever you] see [it, see] the golden Buddha blazing, see the golden Buddha blazing, and there you will have the response of the Buddha. And you will see the transformation and you will see the Buddha step out of that one to initiate you, to embrace you, to place upon your head the crown of everlasting Life!

     Behold Maitreya where'er you walk. Behold Maitreya in the most unexpected bodies, houses, temples, persons. Behold, Maitreya cometh and he cometh with ten thousand of his saints, as Sanat Kumara does come with ten thousand of his saints,14 as well as Gautama, as well as Jesus.

     Thus, my beloved, we come to the mystery of the threefold flame. It is a chalice rare. When expanded and in balance you will hold more Light15 and that swiftly. And as the threefold flame expands you will desire greater physical adeptship and therefore you will become more sensitive [in every way], more sensitive to the body and its condition. And you will rejoice to pursue the alchemy, and it is a very exact alchemy, of selecting those substances for your own healing.

     Physicians, one and all, heal thyself! The Buddha is the Great Physician that does heal thee. Become the Buddha. Enter the Buddha. Let the Buddha enter thy heart. Heal thyself.

     I commend you in your desire for fasting. And so it is true, let it be balanced. Thus on Friday, beloved, let it be an hour when in your fasting you expel from the recesses of the body those entities that are anchored in pockets of toxicity, acidity, and the acidic condition. When those conditions are gone, beloved, you do not have the physical chemistry to hold on to entities. This is why it is so necessary to understand the purging of toxins by fire, by water, by the Blood of Christ, by the holy bread, by Communion.

     O the living heart of Gautama! Now see how many Cosmic Beings pass by this place. Now see, beloved, the great care of the Divine Mother of all.

     I ask you to help me, beloved, to preserve the Flame of Liberty from the assault of the forces of Death. Did not Moses envision this hour when he preached his last sermon to you, to the children of Israel, to the leaders? Choose Life, not Death.16 Is this not the prescription that should bring all back to their sanity?

     Blessed ones, it will never bring the seed of the wicked to sanity; for the original sin, which is their original sin of rebellion against God, is insanity. And from the moment of that rebellion the individual remains insane until the hour comes of the forsaking of the rebellion, the bending of the knee, the calling upon the law of forgiveness, and the invoking of the violet flame whereby by the Holy Spirit one is washed clean from one's insanity.

     Therefore the rulers of this world, the fallen angels one and all, are insane. You have seen it, you have known it - insanity in Tiananmen Square, insanity on the part of the leadership of the Soviet Union and the United States. Wherever you see the Nephilim gods you see the insanity that comes from the original pride that begets the original rebellion.

     Thus, beloved, they shall not be converted by the command of Moses to choose Life, not Death. They have sworn enmity forever unto their own finality, their own second death.17 And it is this [law of free will and the ultimate consequences of its exercise by each lifestream] that many fine spiritual beings upon planet earth have not seen or will not see. And therefore their initiation on the path of Buddhic enlightenment must come to a halt until they are willing to deal with the force of Absolute Evil [and its effects] embodied in the fallen angels and in the not-self of their own creation, called the dweller-on-the-threshold.

     Since that dweller, beloved, knows that he will be consumed the moment you balance and expand to a certain height your threefold flame, that dweller has a vested interest in seeing to it that you are kept out of balance, that you are engaging in activities that do not serve to balance the threefold flame but detract from it. To snuff out this Christ flame, this Buddhic flame, is the very intent and reason for being of the dweller-on-the-threshold.

     Some of you have made astounding strides in the shrinking of [the dweller in] this shrinking-dweller syndrome. Blessed ones, carry on. Carry on! For you see, you are moments away, in many cases, from your victory. And Victory's star six-pointed, [signaling] two threefold flames, [that which is above and that which is below,] beloved - Victory's star is that divine spark within you. Victory's flame is the threefold flame. Is it not Morya's and Saint Germain's flame? Is it not the flame that is produced [by our God, which produces] the infinite variety of individuality and the individualization of the God Flame?

     O my beloved, let us defend the divine spark of Liberty. Let us defend that presence in the earth. For what you have seen in Tiananmen Square, the destruction of my image, is what the forces of hell intend to bring about on this planet when they wreak war and destruction upon the earth, if indeed the karmic cycles come to that and are not first devoured by the violet flame.

     That is the intent, beloved. And I ask you to see to it that by your calls the Flame of Mother Liberty does not perish from the earth! For I am profoundly concerned that should my presence in the earth be denied and should there be the cooperation by the ignorant masses with the fallen ones to remove liberty in the name of restoring order or restoring an economy that has been broken, in the name of taking control of a society in chaos - if liberty is set aside and freedom [suspended] for the ["emergency"] control by a world totalitarian government, it may come to pass, beloved, that my dispensation to remain in this earth be terminated.

     Blessed hearts, as you know your self-worth in God in keeping the flame that you bear, so I also know that my Bodhisattva vow to remain with this evolution has great cosmic worth to all evolutions of the planet as I assist Lord Gautama by initiating with the threefold flame of my heart all who are born here [in America] or who come here. Thus we together reinforce that flame on behalf of Saint Germain, whose fleur-de-lis is the ever-flowering threefold flame of the Divine Mother.

     Blessed hearts, these forces of tyranny have a profound hatred for the Mother in every form, [for] every Ascended Lady Master bearing the virtue that she bears. And therefore in order to kill the Mother they kill her offspring. For the killing of the offspring, beloved, is the killing of the Mother. And that which dies within the Mother is the Christ flame aborning in the womb, which is the temple within the temple of woman.

     I enlist all of you, then, as sons and daughters of Liberty, to reverse the tide of the forces of anti-Liberty on this planet with Saint Germain on Saturday night. Let them everywhere be challenged. And let the abuses of Liberty, as the abuses of the Four Sacred Freedoms,18 be challenged. Learn to see and know and analyze what is the force of anti-Liberty at every hand. You have seen it. And [this my "call to arms"] is my summation of the Messenger's delivery this day concerning the attack on the Sangha of the Buddha in the West.19

     And so the same is true, beloved; for these monks and devotees of Buddha in the East have carried a very strong heart flame and heart tie [to me]. It is indeed the Flame of Liberty that these insane ones of China have sought to destroy in killing the body. But they could not kill the soul. They could not kill the attainment! They could not kill the divine spark! They could only prevent it from manifesting in the physical body on earth. Thus you see now 1.2 million lifestreams from Tibet20 [sans corps] looking for a home in the haven of the Buddha.

     How much need there is, beloved, not only for the Community of the Holy Spirit but for the perfecting of the Community that one day it might be duplicated nation by nation as the Aquarian dispensations come forth. And if they do come forth, beloved, it shall be by your hand and ingenuity, your call and your balanced threefold flame.

     Blessed ones, when you do balance the threefold flame you walk with Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. You walk with those who come as emissaries of the Sweet One, whose sphere is above you. You entertain angels of sweetness and light. For the presence of the Buddha and that sweetness and that peace is always the sign of a [balanced] threefold flame, which of necessity must occupy a body that is balanced, body, mind and soul and heart, spirit. Balance in all things is the key to your acceptance on the path of discipleship unto Christ, the Bodhisattva unto Buddhahood.

     I trust, beloved, as you know me in the person of the Amazonian of stature and light that my presence bears, that you will also remember me as the Divine Mother near, near as the turning of the threefold flame of your heart. And that flame, beloved, does begin to turn and then to spin only when it is balanced.

     Now in this hour I seal you once again in the Cosmic Threefold Flame of Liberty.

     That liberty shall not perish from the earth I, the Goddess of Liberty, pledge my torch to the victory of this Sangha of the Buddha! So it is done. And it can only be done for your own offering given, beloved, for this is the Law. To it I bow and it I obey.

     This dictation by the Goddess of Liberty was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet at the conclusion of the Tuesday evening service on Wednesday, July 5, 1989, during Free El Morya! A Fourth of July Prayer Vigil held at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. Available on 90-min. audiocassette B89101. [N.B. Bracketed material denotes words unspoken yet implicit in the dictation, added by the Messenger under the Goddess of Liberty's direction for clarity in the written word.] Throughout these notes PoW is the abbreviation for Pearls of Wisdom.

The Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor was the inspiration for the 30-foot statue of the "Goddess of Democracy" created by the Chinese students who demonstrated for freedom in China during April and May of 1989. Although the statue was originally called the "Goddess of Liberty" in Chinese, it became popularly known in China and subsequently in the West as the "Goddess of Democracy" because it represented the Chinese people's aspiration for political reform and democracy.

7 In a dictation given in Washington, D.C., July 7, 1963, the Goddess of Liberty placed the "symbol [of that which is] known as the Order of the Golden Lily" over the heart of those who would help her "lift the torch" on behalf of mankind both in and out of embodiment. Those initiated into the Order of the Golden Lily have the opportunity and responsibility to invoke the intercession of the hosts of the Lord for the illumination and the cutting free of souls of Light trapped on the astral plane, especially those passing through the transition called death, that they might be safely escorted by angels to the octaves of Light and the retreats of the Great White Brotherhood. Keepers of the Flame gather each Friday night for the Ascension Service to fulfill this commitment. In her dictation the Goddess of Liberty said: "I urge everyone who wears this golden lily upon their heart to recognize that they have my power. And if you will in consciousness call unto me and to your own Mighty I AM Presence and Holy Christ Self and recognize that you are one who lifts the lamp of Light in order to be a wayshower to mankind, both [those who are] here below and those [who are] in the psychic and astral realms, you will realize that you are working with the Angels of Deliverance and with Archangel Michael."
