I speak to the called of God who are with me in the temple of initiation. And I speak to those who would be the called of God and who would be in the temple of initiation.
Let us contemplate the mysteries of self-transcendence in the holy oil, in the holy flame and in the Holy One of God.
Some have heard the Call. Some have truly come to the moment of the piercing of the heart and the piercing by the crown of thorns. Some have understood the mysteries of the secret rays and of what is required to be the chalice for the Sacred Heart.
I AM that chalice. I would that you might be that chalice.
Suffering and to suffer is the nature of the flesh. And in the process of the translation at the point where the Christed one stands between a Spirit cosmos and a Matter cosmos, there is that moment, beloved, when the pain of the giving up of the Light itself [from the four lower bodies that can no longer contain it] unto a higher vessel is experienced unto the being of the bliss of God all one.
Some linger, for my sake, at that point of the cross for centuries. They count not the time, for I have called them. They have heard. And therefore daily and hourly they must deal with the world momentum of the force of Antichrist that will not stop, that will not let go the blessed one becoming the all of me until they [the legions of Antichrist] may no longer touch that one, for that one is not only resurrected but ascended in the Light and wholly free.
Thus, it is the tarrying [with me upon the cross of Life] in which the saints have engaged. And they have allowed themselves to be the targets of the fallen ones, who think that by assailing the saints they do despite to the Godhead. But on the contrary, it is this affliction that brings about a distillation whereby the soul of the individual and the spirit become one as an Alpha-and-Omega in this octave.
I speak of the spirit here below and not of the [Spirit of the Lord, who is the] I AM Presence. Therefore listen well. It [the ritual] is for androgynous being, whereby thy spirit fiery [the masculine, or yang, aspect of self] and thy soul [the feminine, or yin, aspect of self], as the essence and heart of the evolving one, do merge. And thus there is a wholeness, there is a beingness and there is the profound desire to extend into this octave even portion by portion of the Infinite One. For in this process, beloved, many are healed, much is consumed by sacred fire.
Thus, know and understand that this is the inner temple initiation, yet it is walked in the outer world in these days.
Let it be known, therefore, that when you are the called for this blessedness, when you are called to be the blessed who receive fire for fire for the devouring of the onslaughts that seem perpetual, so it is well to answer and to say:
O Lord my God, I am not able but Thou art able in me.
Because Thou hast called, I will answer,
Trusting that Thou knowest surely what is the capacity
Of my soul and my spirit to take my turn, to play my part
And thus to increase the opportunity for the little ones of God
To be drawn up by the very draft of the Holy Spirit
That will surround me as I come into consonance
With this point of initiation of the rose of the heart.
The symbol of the rose is the sign of this path, beloved - the symbol of the rose. Thus, the rose of the heart must increase her petals and Rose of Light has offered you her assistance.1 And so you have been given, too, the initiations of the heart, the meditations of the heart by my blessed father, Saint Germain.2
Coming in, then, to the understanding of this calling, you may begin to examine and to discern all events of your lifetime leading to it, understanding that all other initiations and the balancing of karma and the increase of the cosmic honor flame [have been that you may] come to that place where surely the momentum of the bliss of the rose of the heart itself does displace the transmutation that may be experienced, [albeit momentarily,] as pain or sorrow or burden. And yet in the moment, in the twinkling of the eye of God, once again, once again you have passed through another round for world transmutation, for world conflagration, for sacred fire.
Bless God. Bless the enemy. Bless the adversity and the adversary, as you have heard the Beloved One speak and say.3 But feel the blessedness of the Love of the Holy Spirit that passes through you, even an all-consuming fire whereby the burning of the heart does, according to the sine wave, carry you up into the ecstasy of the Holy Spirit.
O blessed ones, truly it is blessed to have the opportunity and the certain freedom that comes with this path to exult in the glory of the Lord and to know that on the etheric plane one carries the stigmata.4 And thus, the flowing Light, as the flowing Blood of Christ, and the superimposing of my Body upon your [body] enables you to be in the earth, in heaven at once but most especially at the point of the nexus where [the] one becomes the other.
Thus, you remain visible in the world, but all who see you will begin to see through you into the portals of heaven and gain an understanding of what is the life universal and the life triumphant and that earth provides stepping stones. And those who may be the exalted and those who may fulfill a certain way of the Path of the Rose Cross may appear in the earth as Saint Therese of Lisieux, being in the earth a powerful presence, ascended and unascended all at once.
There are goals that you can aspire to, goals that you can set. Their attainment does correspond to the yearning of the heart, to the willingness to groan in travail that the Holy Spirit might take up his abode within your temple. And to the Love - O the Love and the desiring to fill and fill again the empty, the incomplete, to provide the I AM Presence to those who know not who they are or who I AM, truly to be the instrument for the engrafting of the Word!5
Therefore, there are sacred labors of the heart which the saints have won. And if there were but one among you who were ready for this initiation, I would speak to that one this day, for I have spoken to [the] many on prior occasions. Yet I tell you that there is more than one. And those who receive the increasing of the fire by the increasing of the desiring for God, as it has been said, "My soul panteth after the living God,"6 so they shall receive my answer when they shall call in answer to my Call.
Many are called but few are chosen.7 Therefore I call all of you, but I choose those who bring the prerequisites. And I take you [to my heart] as [I did take the disciples and the holy women] in the inner circle of old where I did give much.
Blessed hearts, understand that there are among you [those] who, thanks to Saint Germain and two thousand years of your increase of Light [in your temple] and [the] dispensations of God [upon you], have gone beyond the attainment even of the twelve, who, beloved, in the hour of my departure from that part of the world yet did indulge in their unbelief, their human questioning and their doubt. And thus, to some of them my final and parting words were he upbraiding of them for their hardness of heart.8 You can understand, beloved, that those who have now had for decades the violet flame and the Call should be past this place of being in my presence and yet doubting that I am the representative of the Cosmic Christ.
Fear and doubt are as [a] desert of desolation. They render the soul desolate, for the soul cannot grip reality when in the grips of fear and self-doubt. Thus, I do come as the Piscean Master and Initiator always, counseling you that that God-mastery will come only to those who abandon their doubts, abandon their fears and cast them into the fire.
O the mastery of the flame of Love!
O the presence of the flame of Love!
O the power of the flame of Love!
O the wisdom of the flame of Love!
I, Jesus, speak to you of the heart and essence of Love as being the fulfillment of the whole law.9 And I speak to you of all these things of the world as paltry before the treasures of the Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit that we would bestow.
It is time for self-emptying and for the infilling. It is time to reduce oneself, to be the spirit of the living God juxtaposed against the backdrop of the Cosmic Spirit of the living God. It is time to despise all else. It is time to know the true meaning of the heart of Saint Francis.
Blessed ones, those of the orders of Francis and Clare saw outer poverty as the vacuum whereby the inner riches of the Spirit could be attained. They left "all these things"10 and thus nothing, nothing stood between them and my presence.
I call you to a life of the Holy Ghost. Some of you have been here since the days of Mark, yet you have not yet received the Holy Spirit! And you walk among us as hollowed-out ones. And why? Because you have preferred your independent/ dependent ego stature. You have stood apart. You have not let me embrace you. You have not allowed me to draw you to myself, to breathe upon you the breath of the Holy Spirit, but instead [you] stand as the accuser of the brethren11 and in judgment of one or another or another.
Who gave you the right to stand in judgment of the followers of God?12 And why have you embodied an anti-Community spirit? And why do you not know that you have done so?
It is because in that state of outer darkness you have not even seen that you do not possess the very thing that you think you possess - the gift of the discernment of spirits.13 You have not discerned the spirits howling in your own vacancies, but you believe that you can perceive the spirits of others.
Blessed hearts, is it difficult to believe that those who sup at my table day after day could be found in such a state? No, it is not difficult. For the initiation of the heart comes with the Bridegroom in the midnight hour in the secret chamber, where none else may enter.14 [And even] you who have that precious anointing may not be aware of it because you are caught up in the buoyant love of God.
Let none attempt to measure his place but rather to know that life is a perpetuality of seeking and finding, self-emptying and increasing of the Holy Ghost. Do not attempt to fix your position on the Path, but do ask for guidance of me through my Messenger or through your Holy Christ Self. Do not seek definitive answers or promises or commitments from God, but seek them in your own heart, of your own soul.
Fear not to stand in your Christ Self to command your soul to come out of the doldrums of negativity and to rise to new planes of being. Fear not in the spirit to be fierce with the lesser manifestation of self and to compel the [soul's] ascent to God, just as you would speak firmly to the child or one entrusted to your care.
Many saints have walked the earth, and among many saints only a single saint has been called apart to become the rose of the heart. What is the difference, beloved? What makes one devotee be received into the courts of the kingdom of heaven and another working side by side with that one to return into embodiment?15
It is the quality of the heart. It is the quality of grace. It is the quality of forgiveness and forbearance. It is the quality of Love discovered in all of the millions of facets of its potential expression. It is care and carefulness and the rough places of the human will planed16 by the diamond of the Inner Christ.
Commend your spirit unto the Father, saying, "O my Father, into thine arms I commend my spirit!"17 But the key is, except you become [as] a little child, you will not enter in to the Holy of holies of the temple initiations with me;18 [you will not enter in except you have the] childlike quality of trust and innocence and purity, knowing only the love of God and trusting that love.
Now come my legions of angels, for I would not leave you to wonder or despair this day. Therefore they come with swords to cut you free from worldliness, intellectual pride, the entrapments of the carnal mind and all those things that have taken you from the sweet innocence of your childhood and the simple faith you knew.
I, Jesus, have walked up and down the earth, placing my Electronic Presence [before the people] that all might see the Christ. And you, the saints, have revealed your path at inner levels to millions.19 All know it is the time of the coming of the Son of man. Yet they will not know how or where or when unless some of you enter into the bliss of God, knowing that the portal to bliss is pain. But it is a peculiar pain, beloved, and it is one that surely, I tell you, can be endured.
In the great mystery of Love I call you, for you have loved and cherished the lives of the saints. You have loved each of my footprints in which you have placed your own feet. You have supped on the words. You have been drenched in the glory of my Light released, as again and again you have received my testimony.20
The testimony is not in the mere worded dictation. It is in the Light that flows and flows again and flows, beloved, that touches you and leaves a radiance in your temple that cannot be scrubbed away. It is there as the shining aura of one who has touched my garment and, yea, more, one who has touched my heart.
I send ruby fire this day for healing, for disassociation of atoms that are not in harmony, for the regrouping of atoms forming the foundations of the whole man that is to be made whole in this life.
O Great Central Sun Magnet of the Ruby Ray, draw the fragments of self scattered to the four corners of the universes back, back to the magnet of the heart!
Blessed one, if you would be all of yourself, you must develop the heart as a magnet so that all that has your imprint upon it, and even fragments of the soul lost here and there, will come back to you as though spiraling to the center of a great sun. Without the quality of the Ruby Ray magnet of the heart that is the very expression of the rose, you cannot become here below that "fire infolding itself"21 which draws to you all of the components of selfhood that Divine Wholeness might appear here below, as Above.
One glimpse of the face of a saint, a Christed one, a Lightbearer by those who are open and listening and yearning and calling for their God, and they know. They know it is possible.
Some of you have had this effect on those who have watched and seen you as you walked through a crowd thinking you were unnoticed. You yourselves may remember how once or twice in this lifetime you may have seen someone whose eyes told you that God dwelt in his temple. And you have been spurred on, understanding that purity of heart has enabled that one to be a shining one in the earth. And you have said, "There by the grace of God I will go, for I see it is possible by his Spirit."
"Holiness unto the Lord!"22 is a most powerful fiat for establishing and reestablishing the fire and the magnet of the heart, for it is [your] declaring that here below all holiness is the Lord's. And this holiness becomes the dazzling sun [within your heart] to increase and increase and increase.
I speak to you of the coming kingdom while the forces of Death and Hell would assail this Church. They shall not prevail as long as you raise up the sword of Archangel Michael and challenge them hour by hour. It is a relentless calling to be at this point between earth and heaven.
"Do not weary in well doing"23 becomes a meaningful command. For that well doing over and over and over again, proving the strength of every degree of the 360, that, beloved, does count for how you will ascend and in what glory and in what octave and with how many rings of solar light around you. And may you ascend, beloved, in the great glory of God that you are capable of earning here below, for life below has sparse proof that it is possible.
And of all gatherings to which I should go today, I tell you, this gathering has in it those who have the potential to overcome all things [in Christ]24 because you have the tools in hand. Nowhere else will you find so finely attuned souls understanding the wielding of my sword.
And your fearlessness to receive that sword as a dividing of the way of the Real and the Unreal [within you] shows a courage that can be sustained only by illumination. Because you are illumined through the teachings of the Mother, you fear not to make those calls that many have feared to make prior to their departure from this octave.
Some have had to meet the challenges of these lessons after the ascension, having by devotion and service balanced 51 percent of their karma and then being required to gain the mastery on the Path that you have begun even before having balanced that much of your karma.
There are many ways to ascend to God. But if I had to do it again, I would still prefer the way of overcoming in the earth [wherein and whereby] every public statement, example and act might be recorded in akasha that others might know, "If I take the same steps [and] make the same stand, I, too, will arrive at the fount of Truth in the etheric temple of Pallas Athena. I will arrive at the point of the Logos and the Solar Logoi."
All that is accomplished here below, beloved, does increase your [self-] mastery [that enables you] to help others, and it does accelerate the entire world momentum of entering in. All things that are truly permanent happen at inner levels and you do not see the signs of them until the victory is almost complete in the physical.
Much inner preparation is going on amongst the saints in the earth who have become saints only by the crumbs from the Master's table.25 But because of the fire of their hearts and their love, they have seen that one crumb is the whole loaf. And though they have been given the whole loaf by me, they could not receive it in their outer consciousness, for the whole loaf of the divine doctrine is unacceptable to their programming in this life, their belief systems.
Yet, on the inner, beloved, they know the Truth and therefore progress does continue. And finally, when it comes time to enter the temple of the Christ where I initiate my own, it does not take too much to deliver them by the magnet of my heart's Love from the mental set, the mind patterns of an outworn theology.
Remember this, beloved, how one crumb has given to so many the love to live as I would have them live. And therefore by merit, by determination and by faith they have arrived at the place where finally they could balance the threefold flame by [the fullness of Christ] illumination.
Thus, there is much wisdom teaching given in my temple. And I call you to my temple of initiation. May you ask to be taken there at night, for when you see what is the wisdom teaching and put it all together, you, too, will find the balance of the threefold flame.
Some have a karma for not entering in, for they have not seriously studied the teachings already given in the physical through this mouthpiece. Let it be understood that these teachings and dictations are preparatory to your inner temple work. To whom much is given, much is indeed expected.26
May you become world teachers, as I have said before.27 But above and beyond all to which I have called you, I say, may you become all Love, all Love and all Love.
I, Jesus, would share with you now my Body and my Blood, for by this wise I truly give you my Life and my Heart as the engrafted Word. Receive, therefore, Holy Communion, which I serve to you personally by my angels' hands.
I seal you on the path of initiation according to your will, which I trust will be God's will this day and forever.
I seal you, beloved, into that which you desire, for I can give you only that which you desire of God. I say, cast out lesser desires that all of your energies might flow into the one, great all-consuming desire for God, God, God.
