O sweet intimations of the flame of the Holy Spirit, I bow before thy Light even as I AM thy Light. I bow before thy Master even as I AM thy Master.
I AM the Maha Chohan, so named the Great Lord,1 and I do preside over the Seven Chohans of the Rays. Each of these rays comes forth from the heart of the dove of the Holy Spirit. And that ray in manifestation to the planet is first and foremost the individualization of the God Flame by each of the Seven Lords.2
Thus, when you desire to receive the Holy Spirit of the First Ray, you apply to El Morya. And when you desire to receive the Holy Spirit and the gifts thereof of the Second Ray, you apply to Lord Lanto. And when you desire to receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit on the Third Ray and the flame thereof, you apply to the Lord Paul the Venetian. When you desire to receive the Holy Spirit of the Fourth Ray, you go to the heart of Serapis Bey for those fiery gifts.
When you desire to receive the Holy Spirit of the Fifth Ray, you make application to Lord Hilarion that you might also qualify to receive the gifts thereof. When you desire the Holy Spirit of the Sixth Ray, you appeal to the heart of Nada to receive the gifts thereof. When you desire the Holy Spirit of the Seventh Ray, you go to Lord Saint Germain and to his heart.
Thus, it is well to desire the Holy Spirit in each of the seven rays and to chart the Chohans and their rays on your Cosmic Clock, beginning at [the] twelve [o'clock line] and ending at [the] six.
Thus, in increments of sacred fire you do receive this Light. That which you receive you must keep and guard as treasure. If you lay up treasure in the earth, thieves will come and steal, moth and rust will corrupt.3 But, beloved, while you are in the earth, you are expected to guard the things of the earth and to be a just and wise steward4 of all energy forms. So it is true of that which you may receive of the Holy Spirit. For the Holy Spirit, even in one-seventh of its measure, may not be misqualified, may not be violated.
Therefore, it is well to establish the discipline of calling forth that which one can keep and of keeping that which one calls forth. To keep the sacred gems, beloved, this is the mark of balance, of self-mastery, of objectivity. For when one becomes too subjective, one's views of life become warped and then one may lose the treasured gift while defending the trinkets of life.
When you desire to receive the power of the Three-Times-Three and the all-power in heaven and earth that was given unto Jesus Christ at the conclusion of his Galilean mission,5 you appeal to my heart, beloved. In my heart is the synthesis of the seven rays and the nine that precipitate these gifts.
I would come to you, then, with a path of initiation that you might see as real, as doable, and that you might see your heart and your soul and your mind focused at the point of Light where the [three flames of the] threefold flame are one. I step forth from your threefold flame embodying all of Love. And all of Love is the recitation of the gifts and of the callings of the members of the Body, the Mystical Body of God.
Be content to master one of the offices, one of the levels of service - even one of the rays. For when you do, beloved, the rest will come. Be at a state of discontent when you have the self-knowledge that you have not the mastery of one of these. For it is then that you are vulnerable and it is then that I may not enter [and approach] as close as you would have me.
Yes, I may teach you, beloved. Yes, I may comfort you. Yes, I may hear your prayers and be with you. But the giving of fire, beloved, is always and only [according to] the deepest desiring of the soul, which exceeds and must exceed all other desiring. For you see, beloved, if your cup of desiring for the flame that I bear - O look at it now! - be not the cup that is fullest, then you may take this cup when there is not another to be taken. But as soon as the cup of your greatest desire is offered, you will let go the one that I bear and take the one that you desire most.
Thus, the beginning of the path of the Christ and the Buddha must be the soul's inner co-measurement [based on self-examination]: "What do I desire most?" And if [the answer] be the Holy Spirit and the nine gifts, then understand, beloved, that you will hold that desire against all other offerings of all other worlds and all other levels, even in the face of the karmas that come due. When all of thy desiring [and all of thy getting is to get the Holy Spirit], beloved, then I assure you, you will attain this goal.
Such was the desire in the heart of the child Mark Prophet. Having lost his earthly father,6 he sought with all his heart his heavenly Father and his Lord and Saviour and, unbeknownst to him, myself. This little boy, beloved, knelt by the hour on the hard floor at his attic altar in the heat of summer and the cold of winter imploring God to come unto him, to give him those gifts of the Holy Spirit. This was his great and only desire. Surrounded by poverty and left [fatherless], he and his mother made their way [during the depression], and there was nothing to intrude itself between him and his greatest desire.
These gifts I gave to him, anointing him as a young man. These gifts he kept unto the hour of his ascension. They were essential to his mission as a Messenger and even more essential, if it could be said, to the conditions of karma that he would have to face in order to graduate from earth's schoolroom. Thus, that which he sought only to the purpose of glorifying God became to him a mighty support through trial and travail, even [the struggle] with the flesh, even with the body burdened and even with bearing the weight of world karma.
Thus, pure desire for pure desiring is the place to begin, as you have been told.7 When the allness of God means more to you than anything and when you fully understand that all things of this world are thine when you desire the allness of God, all and only, you will realize that you give up nothing in the desiring of God but, on the contrary, you give up everything for that nondesiring.
I would ask you to understand that a pure heart8 is indeed the foundation of this walk with me. But, beloved, the gifts of the Holy Spirit come not without work. It is a marvelous work! It is the sweat of the brow. It is the shedding of the blood. You may not see it, but sometimes the garment that is worn by the Messenger is fully stained in blood shed for the remission of sins of many. This is easily seen at inner levels and noted by the Messenger. Glory in the Lord, beloved. For without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin, even the sin against the Holy Ghost.9
This shedding of Light unto the emptying of the cup, unto the filling of the cup, is the Way. Walk ye in it. When you sacrifice the Body and the Blood, you are imparting Communion to a planet through your Holy Christ Self through your soul in your etheric envelope, thereby fulfilling even the requirements of the path of initiation of the Holy Spirit. When you give, [your portion] is multiplied unto you again tenfold and one-hundredfold.
But you must remember that here in this octave it is up to you to make the call to retain the contact with your I AM Presence, to keep the chakras filled and the lamps trimmed.10 Thus, do not allow the energy from your God Presence to run out [by failing to maintain the contact], lest the candle extinguish itself and you are not of yourself able to reignite it.
Know, then, beloved, that as you self-empty each day, pouring out the oil of the Holy Spirit that you have thus gained in your tutelage under the Seven Chohans, so it is meted unto you again and again, as long as you remember that you are the instrument and through you flows a mighty river of Life, a limitless Light, Life and Consciousness that shall be limitless and powerful and fruitful all the days of thy life if you weary not and continue and continue and continue.
Thus, the giving of Light bears its own momentum and that momentum may become as a generator within your being, intensifying and intensifying and intensifying the flow until the momentum increases and this flow of the water of the river of Life is able, then, to cause the igniting and the infilling of all of thy house with the flame of the Holy Spirit.
This Holy Spirit, beloved, is the great Lawgiver of Light. Only by fulfilling the Law of this path will the true Holy Spirit be upon you. And let it be known again that there are lesser spirits and lesser manifestations11 that may produce phenomena like unto that which I have described. Beware! They are not authentic. They are not of the true Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
For the Holy Spirit, as the Person thereof, to come into your temple, [this initiation] must be preceded by the entering in to your temple of the Father and the Son, which the Father and the Son have promised [to do] when you keep their commandments of Love. Thus, pray that the Father and the Son will take up their abode in you.12 Pray that you are able to walk with Father and Son. Pray for the evenness of temperament and the peacefulness at the eye of the storm. Pray for that quality of inner Light, Light, Light radiating in all dimensions, [fulfilling] every need of the hour for each and every one.
I AM the Maha Chohan. I place my Electronic Presence above each one of you and I begin to press in upon you the feeling of the flame of the Holy Spirit. Angels of the Maha Chohan attend you. They attend you personally each one. The pressure is increasing now so that you may have some sense of both the comfortability of that for which you have asked and the uncomfortability.
That which you ask for [from the Holy Spirit] cannot be received for a moment and then withdrawn when you go into mundane activity. That which you call for and receive of the Holy Spirit will be a sacred trust. Thenceforth you must carry that flame, whether you descend into the depths of hell13 or the astral plane in your service to Life or ascend to the heights of etheric octaves or maintain your existence at a median level.
You must ask yourself the question and ponder it, "If I become a bearer of a portion of this flame, am I willing to conform to this flame by the renewing of my mind and heart and soul? Am I willing not to conform to the things of this world that will call and pull, for they desire to devour that flame [that is] sealed in my heart, which is able to mightily multiply the power of the threefold flame?"
Blessed ones, I come with a portion of this flame on this day of Pentecost. My gift to you in this hour will be measured by the drop or by the percentage of a drop, that you may gently yet powerfully, consciously and in full awareness, have a sense on a lesser scale of what it should mean to receive fully the Holy Ghost.
The responsibility to bear this fire is great. Therefore I would not come to burden you, nor would I come to burden the Great Law or the Lawgiver, whose servant I AM. The Messenger has rightly told you that I may not incur karma on behalf of embodied chelas. For this reason the Chohans deal with you and may elect to enter in to a Guru-chela relationship with you, thereby being responsible in some measure, but not all, for your actions and your karma. Thus they stand between me and you, beloved. And you can understand this.
I am answerable to the Godhead. I AM that Godhead incarnate as the third plume of the threefold flame. I may come and go at will through the pink flame of the heart. If there be no pink flame or if it fall short of a certain measure required, I may not enter such a heart at all, and the Holy Spirit will therefore not appear, ever, through such a one.
Such individuals often compensate therefor by garrulousness, by developing their outer personalities, by entertaining others and joking and talking [excessively]. This becomes a substitute for the hollowness [they feel] in the absence of some portion of the Holy Spirit. Thus, you have understood the purpose of resting the voice now and then that you might be [outwardly] silent to [better] hear the inner voice, to incline the ear [unto the Lord in order] to know the difference, beloved, between the voice of the Father, the voice of the Son, the voice of the Holy Spirit - these Three, beloved.
When you have portion for portion a measure, even one-hundredth of a drop of each one, you have a divine spark that has the three plumes. You have contact with the Great Central Sun and every other threefold flame in Cosmos. Truly understand the Power, the Wisdom, the Love of God even in microscopic portion within you. Think, then, how great is the Lord God, how great is the fire breath to magnify and to magnify and to magnify God until you are utterly consumed in the ecstasy of this Light!
[There is] only one price to be paid, beloved: a thousand percent allegiance to the Trinity. Come what may across your path, this God must be first. It is the first commandment. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, thy mind and thy spirit, and thy neighbor as thyself.14 This great commandment of the Lord Christ embodies all of the ten. But ten were needed and many more laws by those who were in an age when they had to deal with the Taurus line of the Law and the Lawgiver.
Thus, "Thou shalt," was the fiat, "have no other gods before me. For I, the Lord thy God, am a jealous God."15 God demands and desires all of your allegiance, all of your love, all of your worship, all of your attachment. And [when you give all of yourself freely to him,] you will look and see that thy God, who is one, the Mighty I AM Presence, dwells in all. And when you maintain the fine line of this allegiance, you can love God in all people [and] yet retain the witness of his absolute oneness.
There is only one Person in this room. It is God. And I will say, God, God, God! And in that moment I have said it a billion times. There is only one Person in this room. Your love is for this one Person. This one Person is the same in ye all - in the Dharmakaya,16 in the Threefold Flame and in the Christ.
Therefore, love one another as I, the Maha Chohan, love you,17 with such an outpouring of Love that I know not how you can receive it in your present state. Love one another because you see and know and perceive this God. Serve one another as you serve the God within one another. Be willing to wrestle, by the fire of the heart, with the not-self of anyone. For the not-self is the idolater that does break the first commandment and claim an independent identity apart from this one Person.
Think of it, beloved. This is why the apostle Paul said, Let God be true, and every other manifestation a liar!18 Yes, the not-self and the carnal mind is a liar and a thief and a murderer,19 constantly on the prey to take the soul from this ever-present realization - my God, thy God, one God. [There is] only One - one God in the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood.
We worship one God. We do not worship the many gods of the many personalities of the human ego strutting about. We will not bow down to them. We will not serve them.20 We will not serve their requirements for [determining] our acceptability by them. Nay. We will seek forever and forever acceptability by the one true God, and him only shall we serve.
Now understand the true walk on the path of the Great White Brotherhood. It is to affix this mighty truth in your being. It is to know when you have lost the thread of it [because you have] become disturbed by interpersonal relations, when you must retreat for thirty seconds into the secret chamber of the heart and renew your tryst with the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, these three One. These three manifest [individually] for the dimensions of being, yet [they are] always one. And the Mother is always one in these three.
Have no other, beloved. Then be a fount of these four points that establish the cosmos of Spirit and the cosmos of Matter. And see how this present awareness will electrify the soul and "electrocute" the not-self. Let the not-self, who is the idolater, be consumed in your presence. Thus liberate the soul from her prison house and bondage to be who she really is.
Now, then, beloved, the pressure increases that you might feel and sense what it is to walk about being God[ - God in you and you in God]. This presence has become as a physical weight upon the Messenger, as tangible as though one could feel the air. Now know what the prophets spoke of when they cried, "O the burden of the Lord! the burden of the Lord! the burden of the Lord!"21 They walked about as though they wore a coat of lead and they cried out, "The burden of the Lord!" The burden was his message. The burden was his rebuke! But the burden was first his Presence.
This burden cannot be borne by the human. Therefore none who live in the human may be given it. To those of the human consciousness it would become a weight so great that they would not survive in the body in its presence. One who lives in the Christ consciousness, in the consciousness of the I AM THAT I AM and does freely ascend [into and descend from] these bodies can wear this mantle. It is worn. It shall be worn!
And when there come out from among you Christs worthy of that calling who say, "This is my All, I submit to the rest [of 'my allness'] being taken from me," then we may approach, and the word is approach, the possibility of a golden-age civilization once again, such as the one in which the Lord Jesus Christ reigned a long time ago on Atlantis. Then vast numbers walked the physical earth as Christs. And they had their measure of the Holy Spirit.
Based on these akashic records and the possibility, the present possibility of the Lightbearers to achieve this, Saint Germain went before the Cosmic Council, the Lords of Karma, to appeal for all the dispensations that have whirled through in this century by the whirlwind of the Holy Ghost to accelerate technology to the glory of God. Had the Lightbearers been God-taught, had they taken the true inner teaching of the Christ and not been enamored [of money and power and ego-aggrandizement] and had they not thus fallen to worship the golden calf of the outer manifestation, this could have taken place on time.
I tell you, when this century began and to the present hour, there have been enough Christed ones [assigned to planet earth] to fulfill the possibility of a golden age. Their numbers [in embodiment] have been compromised, however, by the frightful laws concerning abortion. Thus, I cannot [actually] say that since 197322 there has been a sufficient number of Lightbearers in embodiment to accomplish this. Yet for the acceleration of those on the Path in the Ascended Master activities, there has indeed been a great Light that has held back the descent of a great Darkness.
Now we come to speak to you who through many rounds of service have experienced pain in the heart and sorrow and travail. Therefore we see the maturing of souls and the ability of some to detach themselves, from both the cares and the desires of the world. Pain is an ingredient [and a necessary ingredient on the path of the soul's reunion with God]. It provides the individual with a deep understanding of the Spirit as to the necessity of withdrawing the desire to be fulfilled through the things or the persons of this life.
Pain, not necessarily physical but many times so, has been an adjunct to the path of all saints. It is the pain of the heart of which I speak, the pain of the soul. Thus, by this pain is the shedding of Blood [i.e., the Light essence of the heart]. And by this sorrow does that Blood go forth for the remission of karma. Until karma be remitted and be transmuted, these things, beloved, of which I speak [remain] the deeper mysteries of God [that the soul will one day comprehend].
For many in this day teach that God would not allow his own to suffer or to suffer loss. But I tell you, that suffering is the purging process.23 When you allow yourself to experience the suffering, the grief, the loss, the travail, then know that the hour of the coming of the Lord Maha Chohan is nigh. Therefore, the persecutors and persecution have paved the way for your direct initiations under the Chohans and the Holy Spirit.
Forget not, therefore, Gautama Buddha and the line of Taurus. It is the pivotal line for your entering in to the Love of the Holy Spirit. Let Father and Son take up their abode in your temple because you are obedient in Love. No other obedience fulfills the whole law. Yet even obedience in anger is better than disobedience in anger, for at least one has shown one can take that little whip and whip those four lower bodies into submission while the soul herself does travail again and again to reach that same point of submission by Love. This is why you do not spare the rod24 on the child of yourself or your offspring.
For entering in to the First Ray is a necessity that the soul might be perfected in faith [through her loving obedience to her God]. Entering in to the Second Ray is a necessity that the soul might be perfected in learning the truths of God. Thus, faith and the mighty hope of wisdom itself beget the heart's opening unto charity. Therefore, it is to charity that faith and hope will lead you. Arriving at charity, beloved, and entering that flame, you are ripening under the tutelage of [the Archangels] Chamuel and Charity for the receiving of the gift of Love. [And Love] is the cup that holds all nine gifts.
Indeed violet flame transmutation delivers you swiftly of much debris. It is always true but ever more so when you can identify the [cause of the] debris and not cause it to be created again and again. Violet flame transmutation is the Holy Spirit's antidote to all opposites of the nine gifts.
May you seek the gift of the discernment of spirits, spirits that enter the mind, the body, the flesh, the organs. May you seek the gift of faith, for by faith all things are wrought. Doubt and fear do not exist where one has the gift of faith. It is indeed a gift. Some of you who have it not envy those who have it. You can get it, beloved. Your faith can wax strong as you trust El Morya or the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
When I say "seek," I say seek and find. Be willing to put yourself through fiery coals and every sort of obstacle path that there might be removed from you even the opposition to the gift of speaking in tongues - having the ability to deliver the Teaching to any type of mind or heart [in order] to meet the need of the hour. And then [seek and find] the [gift of the] interpretation of the tongues in which you have spoken, that all might receive the breaking of the bread of Life through your heart and your words.
Ever seek gifts of healing. Desire that those who come into your aura might touch the hem even of my garment of Love and receive solace and surcease from suffering.
I, the Lord, the Maha Chohan, one in the one true God, urge you to seek, to find these gifts. May you find gifts of miracles through the violet flame, gifts of prophecy, gifts of wisdom, gifts of knowledge. May you find all these, beloved. But remember, one basket containeth them all - the basket of Divine Love. Let it be a large basket that you might be infilled with so great a Love as to be the instrument of the [gift of] healing to a world and its miraculous transformation by Light.
This Love, O God, this Love, O God, this Love, O God, I pray be instilled and infilled in these who do keep the flame of Life, which itself is the Holy Spirit! I pray, O God, that it infill them as never before! For in this Love, they shall truly find the pure desiring that is greater than all other desires - and indeed swallows them up, pales them into insignificance - the desiring of the Holy Spirit for the pure desire not to be empowered, [though empowered they may be,] but to give and to give and to give to others whose so many desirings are so complex in all of the many levels and strata of their being that they cannot even hope to attain to this one unique desiring without the rushing of the wind, without the descent of that Love [unto the keeper of the flame of Love] that dissolves all lesser desires and frees [even the bystander] from the [self-]idolatry of these desires.
One must love one's not-self a great deal to desire so many things for that self. What an impostor is the carnal mind! What an impostor is the not-self, taking all of the energy of thy chakras in seeking and satisfying a million desires! - [so much so that] there is no magnet [of sacred fire] left for [thy true self] to receive the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is [therefore] enmity with the idolater [and the idolatrous self].
Now understand why so many have not received it. Is it that they are all conscious idolaters? Not so very much. But who has stood in their midst and taught them that their desires are their idolatries and their self-loves? Who will be stoned? Who will be cast out? Who will become the scapegoat into which all the people of the world invest their hatreds?
That one, they say, must be stoned as a propitiation for the people. Thus, ancient societies would do this; and often it was the one of greatest Light who would be stoned and put to death for the expiation, so-called, of the sins of the people or to provide [the people with] one who could be blamed for all the world's ills.
In this vein, beloved, some have said, "Why doesn't she move to another planet?" They said this not of the [person of the] Messenger, beloved, but of the mantle, truly of the mantle. The world does not desire God in the world. When you desire God more than this world, this world will do the same to you. As long as you are burdened by the process [of separating out from the desires of this world], you will remain in the twilight zone between Life and Death and heaven and hell.
Acquaint now thyself with the Holy Spirit. Find peace in the Father and the Son. Walk in the ways of righteousness. Thy God who seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.25
Now, beloved, as the pressure [of the presence of the Holy Spirit] has been upon you, in this moment the angels withdraw it. And there is placed in the secret pocket of the secret chamber of the heart some fraction of the drop of the Holy Spirit or perhaps a drop or more or, alas, perhaps nothing. Each one shall receive according to the quality of the heart.
Therefore, if you would decree, if you would pray, if you would give mantras unto the Lord, with all of thy giving let thy heart be pure and purified that these expressions might be truly channels deep of devotion and profound Love. When you enter this court, enter it with thanksgiving and praise unto the Lord, the YOD HE VAU HE. Yes, enter with Love, give in Love, and your decrees shall have a power a thousandfold of that which they have when you have not taken the moment to connect your love, your appreciation, your gratitude to God and to connect this momentum here below with the great momentum of your Causal Body. Then you will see how your own world and life will be transformed, and this Community and the planet as a whole.
As Love begets Love, so I tell you, that which you are able to multiply of the gift given or that which you desire now to seek as never before, which can produce that gift at the moment when you are ready, so that, beloved, will become even the seed as well as the fulcrum for your victory.
I breathe upon you the breath, which is the sacred fire breath. Breathe deeply now and receive it and retain it. It is a cleansing fire, beloved.
Descend, O Holy Spirit, upon this planet earth! Let this Holy Spirit go before the Mighty One as the fire of judgment that may make this earth a receptacle of a portion of that Spirit.
Angels of the Maha Chohan, continue the judgment begun in Beverly Hills.26 I command you. Let it go forth now. For only thus shall the Lightbearers be delivered and come into the New Day of their First Love.
Seek and find your First Love, beloved. This is my counsel to you on Pentecost. Do not shun it. Do not fear it. Do not hide from it because you think to approach it will require that you pass through the pain of records. Blessed hearts, it will require pain. But he who knows the mystery of Love understands that there is a path of pain before the bliss fills all of his being. Thy First Love is worth the pain, beloved, and will bring divine bliss.
Come out from your cocoon, beloved. Come out, I say! Come out! Know the pain and know its vibration as the sign of deep transmutation. If you bar and seal yourself from the pain of the spiritual path, you will also bar the fires of the Holy Spirit from entering to perform the miracle of transmutation.
Indeed, seek the gift of miracles and know that the definition of "miracle" is transmutation by the transforming power of the Holy Spirit in all of the seven rays until you reach the culmination, through the violet flame, of the white fire. Seek the white cube and seek the new name.27
I seal you now, for you have received my All in a measure suited to your personality and [to] the dimensions in which you have established your comfortability.
Has it occurred to you, beloved, that the Lord God rocks the earth to rock individuals from their comfortability? Some, you see, have pain imposed upon them because in no way should they ever submit to it, so have they insulated themselves by their money and all other things.
The Lord will have this people one way or the other, beloved. Happy are ye who are led by Love and do not pull back as Love approaches the fields of pain. On the other side of the fields there are other fields, and beyond them others of flowers and immortelles, until the Lord Christ himself is found beyond these fields, truly as the lily of eternity.
I AM the Maha Chohan. I bow to the Light of the one God in you. I pray you will also bow to that one Light forevermore.
This I promise you - I shall return. I trust to find you at new levels, not that the levels [to which] you have attained are not acceptable, for many are acceptable, but that it is the law of Cosmos that the manifestation of God, the soul, must ever be transcending herself and her sense of self.
Purusha.28
This dictation by the Maha Chohan was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Pentecost, Sunday, June 3, 1990, 8:49-9:48 p.m. MDT, at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. [N.B. Bracketed material denotes words unspoken yet implicit in the dictation, added by the Messenger under the Maha Chohan's direction for clarity in the written word.]
