Lanello's Birthday Address 1989
The night is still in the secret chamber of the heart but a candle burns brightly - the candle of the threefold flame.
I AM Lanello, come in this hour to extend my heart of comfort, of truth, and the abiding presence of the enlightened ones. I come to insert my candle glow, to attach it to your own to magnify the Lord [within you].
I come, then, at year's end and birth's beginnings, as I was blessed in my final incarnation to be sponsored by the hierarchy of Capricorn and to receive through and through the initiations that that hierarchy would accord me through the Great Divine Director.
May you therefore know, beloved ones, that I have gone before you and I have submitted to the tests of the uses of God-Power. And I have served long to attain that God-mastery of the blue-flame cross of the Cosmic Clock that I might come as your forerunner, chiseling away at the rock congealed from the misuses of power in all the cardinal points.1
May you know, beloved, that those who determine to gain that attainment on the First Ray with El Morya are given maximum tests whereby they might prove again and again that no matter what the power that is offered to them on each of these cardinal points, they shall never take it as a personal adornment nor use it for personal things of pleasure, for control of others, for manipulation or [in] any other abuses whatsoever.
These tests are ongoing for lifetimes. Those who fulfill them are truly given extraordinary power as Jesus was. In the final hours concluding his Palestinian mission, he did say, "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth."2
The powers of the octaves, beloved, are therefore in the right hand of those who choose to submit themselves in absolute humility before the Power of God, the Harmony of God, the Reality of God and the absolute God-Control of God. Therefore the byword of these [is] "Man can do nothing of himself. I of mine own self can do nothing."3 This you affirm with Hercules and Amazonia as they do affirm it, knowing full well that they have the full power of Elohim of the First Ray.
All the way back to beloved Alpha and Omega those who are accorded the grace of God's power continually affirm, "I of mine own self can do nothing. It is the Father in me who doeth the work. I must work the works of him that sent me. My Father worketh hitherto and I work."4
Considering the perpetual motion5 of the Buddhas and the Bodhisattvas, you may understand that this achievement lays a foundation whereby the soul might leap and find the springboard to eternal service and a mighty intercession.
Do you not think, beloved ones, that the legions of the First Ray, whether of the elemental kingdom unto Elohim, whether the Sons of God or the angelic hosts, do not enjoy [performing] a mighty service and interceding and being the Cosmic Helper? These have given their all that they might have a reservoir of power so needed in these hours when the forces of Light must meet the conglomerate of the anti-Power of the fallen ones and all [the energy] they have amassed [from] the evolutions who have not the control of the uses of their energy.
Thus, beloved, it took Hercules, yea, Hercules and more, to defeat these fallen ones in this hour. And therefore all hosts of Light bow before the humility of this Great One who does come, having amassed [the] power [of the Almighty], as the absolute servant of the Most High God.
Understand, beloved, that I speak of this because there is a disease of the abuse of power not only among the fallen ones of the earth but [also] among some of the twelve tribes, even the children of the Light. And they have gone and followed the false teachers and [they have] sought to imitate them; and thus they have taken to themselves that lust [of the fallen ones, who lust] after power and after control [in order to] command the forces of the [Divine] Mother [and the] power [of her] sacred fire [so they can] use these in [rituals of] black magic [to manipulate] others.
Therefore, beloved, you will understand that often we see, even in the new chela, that there are some who quickly have a sense of pride [and] well-being that [through the contact of the Messenger] they now have [in the science of the spoken Word] power [to] manipulate energy, [even God's energy]! And [therefore] they [think they] may do what they will with the Light that comes from the altar - whether it be [in] wanton disregard for the caring for the Light, [as they are capable of engaging in] discord and inharmony [within minutes of leaving a service,] or whether it be [in] the subtleties of the psychological manipulations that come [through] the abuses of God-Control [or] whether it be [in] the weaving of a life of complete unreality or whether it be simply the misuse of power as power itself in industry, in money [matters], in society, in civilization.
Blessed ones, it is necessary to see that power is not an end in itself but a means to an end, [and that end is] the liberation of the Lightbearers of a cosmos!
Let the children of the Light and the sons and daughters of God come of age, then. And let them recognize that any time [chelas have] access to power, the test [of the uses and misuses of power] is at hand. This is the test of First-Ray Masters, Buddhas of the First Ray - Buddhas whose blueness does fill a universe, as their auric emanation is in absolute obeisance to the Divine Mother in her First Ray powers.
You will see, then, beloved ones, that when God does entrust you with a mandate of energy, not only does he expect that energy back but [he expects it back] multiplied by the power of ten.6 Therefore see to it that you invest power in noble causes, that you recognize that your lifestream itself has [been given] a quotient of power for a lifetime. And the younger you are, the more confident you are that you will never lose this virility, this vigor, this momentum of being able to do anything [you will] anytime [you will].
But, beloved ones, where there is the squandering of God's power in any form, it is not returned [to the one who misqualified it except as negative karma for the abuse of power, which accrues in the body as old age, disease and death]. But where there is the use of power in the loving service of the [Light and the] Lightbearers of the world, that power returns again and again [as the positive karma of its right use (i.e., righteous use)] - to rejuvenate [lifestreams by the power of] the true Ascended Master Youth that you see in the Holy Kumaras.
And that power of youth [and youthfulness at any age comes from] the sacred fire that does return again and again [to the godly] because it is consecrated [by them] upon the altar of God for the deliverance of life, for the healing of life, for the sowing of the good seed of the [Christ] teaching and the Christ consciousness. Therefore, power used correctly multiplies and returns to the sender and multiplies and returns to the sender again [and again] each time the sender does use it for the glory of the Lord [in the service of his people on earth].
Know, beloved ones, that one of the most important qualities of your bodhisattvahood is the quality of energy and strength and vigor within the body itself.7 And that [coiled] spring of energy enables you to control the desire body, to control the mind in service to the King, to control the vast memory as the storehouse of God's resplendent power.
Blessed ones, there does come a time upon the earth, and it does draw nigh, when the fallen ones contemplate the ultimate misuse of power! Now understand why I speak. I speak to you, beloved, that you might recognize that in the face of such a serious threat as nuclear war - [which is upon mankind in this hour whether they know it or not and which is] the ultimate abuse of the sacred fire [in] the nucleus of the atom itself - you must match that abuse [with] the correct use of power.
If you could have seen Hercules work with all his might for the binding of these archdeceivers [on the astral plane] this night, if you could have seen the intercession of the LORD God, you would know that to be able to meet such a manifestation at the hour when it is necessary for the deliverance of the Lightbearers of an entire system, [for a servant of God] to have that power ready in hand - this, this, beloved, is the greatest grace [you could hope for] and [it is] cause for you to have profound gratitude [for Hercules' preparedness to this hour of your need].
Blessed ones, who is the most miserable among the Lightbearers? Is [it] not the one who, though he has descended from God and knows he is a Lightbearer, has yet squandered his Light and his power and therefore comes empty-handed when the battle begins and has no ability to direct Light through the chakras for the turning back and the mitigation of these events?
Blessed ones, the fallen ones are relentless in their determination to wage war [against the ascending ones]. This is what they have purposed to do. Unfortunately, those stopgap measures that could have been put in place as defense systems, spoken of repeatedly by the Messenger and many others,8 have not been put in place and cannot be put in place [so as to be operable within] the timetables that have been set by the fallen ones. These are [the] conditions of the physical octave [that you are therefore obliged to deal with insofar as they affect you personally].
You think we have not interceded. We have interceded mightily to inspire the leadership of the West to do the things that have been advised from our levels and from the Darjeeling Council and spoken, even out of the heart of Saint Germain, through the Messenger. We have interceded to the fullest extent of the Law to gain the attention of any and all who would listen.
Therefore I come, even as I would accompany the wise men out of the East [on their journey to pay homage] to the Christ Child. I attend your birth this night, beloved. I come not only bearing gifts but also warning of [the intent of] Herod [to slay the Christ Child].9 For the Herod of this day has determined to destroy by nuclear war the Divine Manchild, [whose birth in the hearts of all God's people] does represent the Second Coming of Christ in millions upon this earth.
Therefore, beloved, I tell you that the hour of [global] mitigation is past. You may understand that protection will be afforded the Lightbearers. But it is also important for you to understand that you must lock in to the eventuality, and to the acknowledgment of that eventuality, that war is a most present possibility and that [that] possibility is possible soon.
Thus, we encourage you to be realistic in the physical octave, to mark the geographical areas about which you have been warned, such as the coasts [of North America],10 and to remember that in the holy mountain of God there is a place prepared [and] there is an opportunity for safety; and you must exercise [your options] and no longer look the other way but become from this hour forward supreme realists.
Our mitigation measures can be taken, therefore, [only] on behalf of those who help themselves, those who follow the directions we have [given] for many years. The mitigation factor can be for Lightbearers in many quarters. But as far as the mitigation of the purposes of the fallen ones and their possibility of fulfilling their purposes, there is not much more we can do, given the freewill choices that not only the leadership but [also] the people of the West have made.
Therefore, beloved hearts, it is the hour to take care of oneself [and] one's loved ones and to do so with a degree of [certitude] in the realism that preparedness is the last and only key we have to avert such a calamity of such a massive abuse of power.
There are many who have heard our words and many more who have believed what they have seen on the television, who have considered that what the Messenger has said [does not have] any realism to it at all. Blessed ones, pray for them and pray to Cyclopea that you might see and know that which is on the drawing boards [of the "rulers of the darkness of this world"11]. They have determined to make [their warfare against the Lightbearers] physical, beloved, and there is no one in the physical octave in this hour who has determined to stop them.
Therefore I say to you, may you cast yourself on the Rock of Christ12 and come into congruence with Maitreya and Manjushri to the right, to the left of the Buddha. May you come into the integration of the soul with God, laying all other things aside. For, beloved, your hope is in the LORD God, the Holy One [of God] himself. Your hope is in the LORD God Almighty.
We who are about the business of the Father through the Great White Brotherhood have done all that we can do. Therefore if there is to be a miracle, it must be between your soul and the heart of the Infinite One.
I say, beloved, may you perform the miracle of the practical response to preparedness [as] we have [advised you all along]. May this be your key and your answer: [that you see to it] that you are out of harm's way, that you are in the heart of the earth and that you are sealed; and therefore no plot of the sinister force may come nigh thy dwelling or thy place prepared. This is the key, beloved. And when you have accomplished this, you will know the meaning of the birth of the Buddha on Christmas Eve.
I speak to you simply, beloved, and my words sound on the crisp winter night. They are absorbed by mountain and rock and sand. They are absorbed by the soul.
I am speaking to the soul of every Lightbearer on earth! I am sounding the warning. And I am enfolding you in the fullness of my Christmas swaddling garment of Love.
You are doing it. You are preparing. Simply keep on keeping on. We have intercessory powers on behalf of our chelas but you must be ready, beloved. We will do all in our power to help you so long as you can come to terms [with] the task at hand.
Be diligent and make haste and do not fall into [thinking] that you have unlimited days and weeks and months, [that] we will ever be there to postpone the dates. It is not possible, beloved. We cannot [thus] interfere either with the karma of the fallen ones or with their final judgment or with the karma of the children of the Light who have not heeded our word or with [the karma of] the Lightbearers who have known better but have not done any better for that knowledge. There is a karma on all sides, beloved.
We look to the future. We look to our Lightbearers getting beyond this period [in world history. We see you] surviving the turbulence [of the] physical octave and laying the foundations [for the New Age]. Let us be serious in our efforts and in our days. [But] let our hearts be joyous [in the knowledge] that we are fulfilling the purposes of the Lord.
I am your father always. I will not leave you, and I will not leave you in ignorance; nor [will I leave you to the wishful thinking of] your own minds, which would sometimes like to think that things will simply work out for the best. They will not work out for the best unless you work them out for the best yourselves, beloved!
[The] expiation of planetary Darkness [one way or another] is the only way that Light can be permanently ensconced on the planet. [Either the people turn their hearts to God and forsake their untoward ways while the Lightbearers invoke the violet flame and the intercession of the LORD's hosts, or the karma of 25,800 years descends.13] As you have noted for many years, at every hand where the Teaching is taught, the Light is brought [or] a Christed one is born, there is a mass outcry and a movement against the effort, whether [it be] to introduce [the] true education [of the heart] or a path of Christhood or Bodhisattvahood.
Blessed ones, the same powers that be that would stop the Teachings [of the Ascended Masters] from galvanizing a world to the victory against the abuses of power by the fallen ones are determined to have war, war at any price. For their purpose is to see to it that never again shall there be another Christmas Eve in celebration of the birth of the Christ of Aquarius.
Therefore, beloved, we are united with you as one to prove them wrong. We are here to stay. Our feet are firmly planted in this ground. And we have that fire in the solar plexus that says, "I will not be moved! I will survive to fulfill my fiery destiny!" [Therefore] let that fire be translated into the most practical preparations. Let it be done with dispatch!
If you have any time left over at all apart from these preparations, beloved, may you be in this court at 6:15 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. By a concerted effort of your concerted presence, we can make light work of sending these [astral forces on their way] on time and ahead of time so that they may not complicate life or make matters more difficult for the Lightbearers in the physical octave when they will have all they can do to deal with circumstances. This is a mitigation factor, beloved. It may not change the ultimate outcome but it will surely change what burdens you may [or may not] bear.
Therefore I open this court to the youth, to their families and parents, to those we see not so often; and I ask you to return in support of my beloved. For this is a physical work and the physical sword must be wielded. And it is a heavy sword, beloved.
I ask you to support this effort. For when she does not come and I do not wield that sword, my hand over her hand, I can tell you it takes ten times longer, if it happens at all, [for] these arch fallen ones [to] be taken. It has to do with the office, beloved. It does require a Messenger and more to perform this service in the physical octave.
The more who assemble at these times, beloved, the more we can do. This is an area [of service that you can easily render], then; [and] whereas it [does] not [necessarily result in] a mitigation [of the] world [situation], it [does result in] a personal mitigation for yourselves. We are doing all that we can do to see to it that you will emerge true conquerors, well on your way on the Bodhisattva path, well on your way to realizing the fullness of the Buddha and the Mother.
My beloved, we are determined to turn this world around. You must understand that it is a process of total world chemicalization that we are about. It happens step-by-step. And you can count the gears in a mighty wheel. Each and every one must lock in to the gears of the wheel of Almighty God. When these steps of divine retribution [through the] balancing of [world] karma [and] planetary chemicalization have been fulfilled, you will find, if you have determined to be a survivor, that in the New Day you will be lighter, you will [carry] less burden, less personal karma and [you will have] a greater opportunity to give birth to a new age.
Come to realize, then, that the advancement of the age of Aquarius under Saint Germain and Portia has in effect been ultimately thwarted by this spiritual wickedness in the high places14 of the earth, [in] Church and State, [in a] free society and [in the] totalitarian [state]. At every hand, beloved, the expansion of the Light is blocked.
Therefore I say, welcome the tide of Light that will ultimately swallow up the tide of Darkness. Welcome the hastening of the timetables. Welcome this embodiment as [the opportunity for] your finest hour, your greatest victory and as the moment when by enduring [to the end of your karma] you may have that maximum potential to use circumstance as the springboard to the victory of the ascension.
[The seed of Satan] have no power of their own. All power that they have [they have] taken [from] God's power. And the day fast approaches when it shall be stripped from them utterly, even their very breath.
May you value being on [the] line that God has drawn, where you [take your] stand. It is the line where Light confronts Darkness and swallows it up. It is the line where you make your decision to take your victory. There is no better time, there is no better space. There is no better organization, there is no better Community. There is no place like the Royal Teton Ranch in Montana on the face of the earth!
The hosts of the LORD are encamped round about.15 See that your physical preparations are complete, secure, scientific and well thought out. We can do everything for you except the physical. This is your task. This is your labor. By it earn your stripes.
Blessed ones, it is God's game. Play it well. For he has made that game so that it is possible for the son of God to win. Remember that, beloved. God has made it possible for you to win.
Now consider this realm of God's possibility and fit yourself into it and show him that you are a son that he can be proud of, a daughter that may serve as the Shakti of the Lord. O beloved, if you ever desired to please your Divine Parents, I say, decide it in this hour and know that you have already pleased the Lord and thou art indeed highly favored.
Blessed hearts, all the love of cosmos does press in upon you in this hour even for the calls you have made that have already begun to tip the scales against these false hierarchies [of Antichrist] that are diminishing night by night.
I AM Lanello, seated here before you as surely as if I were in embodiment. And am I not in embodiment in the heart of my beloved always? We are here to see you through and [to] see this through to the finish, beloved. This Christmas Eve we have chosen to make our profound and firmest commitment to your soul, your body, your life, your joy, your victory, your enlightenment, your eternal life!
Go, then, beloved. Go and be all that you are! Summon it from on high! Will it. Love it. Be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.16 We will not leave you. We are here to stay!
This dictation by Lanello was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet during the Christmas Eve candlelight service, December 24, 1989, 10:50-11:24 p.m. MST, at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana.
