It gives us great joy to address you in this place, a place truly prepared, which Saint Germain showed to us long ago as a gathering point for those who would continue in the service of the I AM.1
Thus, the I AM movement was the foundation and The Summit Lighthouse, as Church Universal and Triumphant, is the continuity of the ancient message of the Ancient of Days come again. Therefore we cherish this movement, for it represents to us all that we have hoped for and [the continuity of] that which we have built and given our lives to.
Today you give gratitude for our foundations laid. And today we give gratitude to you who have kept the flame of the Mighty I AM Presence and will not be moved come what may.
The purity of the message of Saint Germain came to us in the original release of the white light and the sacred fire, and thus the core of this activity is the same. Much has passed in these many years and now we approach the turn of the century. You are chosen to be in embodiment, as we are called to be the ascended ones, to see this Teaching and all that the Lightbearers of this century have labored for move forward [that we may jointly] bequeath a gift to generations unborn and to many souls who will reincarnate for the purpose of the continuation [of our labors].
As you know, the forces of Darkness did move against the I AM Activity. And for many reasons and situations, which we do not care to discuss this evening, that movement did not reach the zenith that Saint Germain would have desired. And therefore El Morya was already preparing The Summit Lighthouse to carry on the work as a new dispensation.2
Now we come to the era of the testing of this movement, even as this nation under God was testing and being tested to see whether it could long endure.3 Thus, in the midst of the Civil War Abraham Lincoln did carry that burden and was slain. In this hour many sons of Lincoln do carry the burden to see whether or not this nation, as one nation, shall endure.
In this hour it is the spiritual continuity of the foundations laid that is being challenged. And because you have laid the foundations and placed the capstone on the pyramid of America,4 it is known by all forces that have ever assailed this nation (or the I AM Activity, which was dedicated to its freedom) that this is the point at which the Victory shall take place. For this Ascended Master-sponsored activity does truly represent the [culmination] whereby all that has been given from the very moment of its founding [even from the inception of all Ascended Master-sponsored activities of the last 125 years] shall indeed endure.
We have come this night, therefore, to tell you what it is necessary for you to do to win the battle against the forces arrayed against it. Understand, beloved, that they know that to smite the shepherd is to scatter the sheep.5 Thus, of course, the opposition to the Messenger is great, but the opposition to the chelas is also great.
As you are students of the I AM Law of Life, you carry in your hearts the destiny of America. It is important to realize this, for you must have a recognition of your calling and your reason for being and then be filled with a fervor of the Light of all saints gone before in the understanding that you can and shall achieve the Victory!
Blessed ones, first and foremost, no matter what, the Teaching must be spoken. It must be delivered up and down this nation! It is well that the Messenger has carried it to all nations of the earth, but in this hour the rise or fall of this civilization [that is America] will make all the difference. [And I tell you,] the Lightbearers have not been culled out of the fields of this nation as they should be.
Thus, the Messenger has responded to the call of Venus and Lightbearers there to teach to you the truths found in the book by Phylos the Thibetan, which we ourselves also read and from which we derived much benefit. The teachings given through this publication on Christ's message, on his deliverance, on the coming of great adepts such as Saint Germain and all of the principles of Truth that emerge from this document must be known and digested by all members of this organization. For, beloved, each and every one of you is appointed, if you will receive it, a committee of one to transmit this teaching.
You must recognize your responsibility in delivering this teaching and [you must] recognize that if you do not understand it clearly and study it well, you may make the karma of sowing seeds of error in the minds of your hearers. And they may not recover from that error and its consequences in this or a number of embodiments, and [your neglect will] lie upon your own record [until the error is corrected in the minds of those you have misled].
Therefore we have convoked Summit University here this summer and also for the fall quarter. And we are calling souls of Light to attend who may be approved [to study at Maitreya's Mystery School] and then be recognized as those able and worthy to [deliver the Teachings] up and down the nations or in their hometowns - to speak the Truth and to speak the Word wherever they are and to be absolutely unmoved by whatever untruths are published in the press against [that Word and that Truth] or by those who would sow seeds of unrest [among the brethren].
Blessed hearts, what is that to thee? Follow thou the I AM and the Lord Christ!6
We come [to you], then, with this [call to witness to the Teachings] as the first step in the defense of this movement. In addition to speaking the Teachings, you may also speak the truth of your experiences here and of how things truly are.
Secondly, beloved, this Messenger will come in the footsteps of myself and beloved Lotus and she will stand and still stand at this altar, knowing that her place is here in the defense of the activity and in the challenging of those who move against it. As her place is at this [high] altar, so your place is at your own altars and [here] in this court when you are able. But never let a day go by that you do not reaffirm your vow, by the sacred fire, to the Lord God that you will stand for the survival of one nation undivided under God and one Church Universal and Triumphant that is truly the home of all students of the I AM, whether or not they know about it in the outer.
Therefore, beloved, to take your stand by giving decrees is the way. And as Lotus stood and still stood on the platform throughout the entire Second World War, giving those decrees daily in city after city as conferences went on for weeks at a time, so she does know that to win the battle there must be vigilance and the defenders of the Light must be at their posts.
Thus, beloved, the Call will compel the Answer. And the prophecy is that the enemy shall not prevail against this Church and that the Lightbearers shall prevail! But it is necessary that you conscientiously fulfill this prophecy, for no prophecy is self-fulfilling! And the ones who would destroy this movement are relentless in their own negativity and their negative decrees. (There are also, as you have been told by the Messengers, decree groups on the astral plane who continually decree in their monotone, [their] dead voices, against all activities of Light and Truth on this planet.)
Blessed hearts, as there is much delusion in this nation, so there is much treachery and intrigue, and the forces at work are moving at sublevels not apparent to your eyes. Many of these [individuals] are in embodiment and in collusion with one another, and many are on the astral plane.
Thus, when all seems well and all seems quiet, know that it is only that seeming and you must not trust that seeming. For the forces are moving and they are challenging, and they are challenging you at the two-thirds level of the pyramid, where the resurrection flame must burn. The two-thirds level of the pyramid is also your heart chakra, where the resurrection flame must [also] burn. Thus, you know you are defending the Light at that level, and thus you must understand that you have successfully defended our activities and our Teaching up to that level of the pyramid.
Now comes the ultimate test of the heart, whether the heart will faint not and endure, whether the physical heart, then, can be strengthened to become a physical chalice for the threefold flame and for the heart chakra. Be it understood, therefore, that this victory must be a physical victory even as the challenges to it are also physical.
I speak in the name of Saint Germain and Portia! I speak in the name of all hierarchies of Light! I speak in the name of all who have ascended through our own teachings and activity. And I speak in the name of your own ascension in the Light!
Beloved, when you shall have won this battle and you shall have won it for the decade of the nineties, you will come to understand that this was the most serious attempt to snuff out the flame that is America and the flame that is the Ascended Master activities [in many a century]. Reaching that victory, beloved, you will go on to the full victory of the capstone in your individual worlds, in the physical octave and beyond it to your ascension.
This battle, therefore, requires the engaging of the hosts of Light and the engaging of yourselves in the fight against the fallen ones. They also see it as a fight to the finish; for they know that their time is up7 and they know that there is no more opportunity for them to destroy this nation, to destroy freedom upon earth or the freedom of the soul to take flight in that victorious union with God. Thus, beloved, there are final ends, and there are final ends to Evil itself.
You must know where you are in the course of history and the course of prophecy. You must also see yourself against the backdrop of your incarnations on Lemuria and Atlantis. You must know that if this battle were not being fought against the Church and against America, it would still be being fought against you personally. And if the Church and America did not exist, you would have a much more difficult time in dealing with that battle at a personal level without the reinforcement of Community [in Church and State].
Now you do have Community. And you have Community worldwide, and you have the Community of the ascended ones. Now you do recognize that this indeed is taxing and does demand all of your life and your dedication. But I tell you, beloved, if you were alone on the Path as a solitary climber, if these activities had never existed and Saint Germain had never ordained our Messengers to go forth in this wise, you would still be dealing with your own personal necessity for self-transcendence on the Path. Thus, all in all, you should understand that because you have come together, regardless of the fact that it does take extra work to defend a community and a nation, [as individuals] you are faring far better on the Path than you would have without these activities.
Therefore, beloved, do not feel burdened by this responsibility. For, you see, your victory in the One in the defense of Church and State shall become your victory of your soul's union with God. All things do work together for good to those who are called, to those who truly love the Law of the I AM.8
And therefore in the very process of defending this the most important activity of the Great White Brotherhood upon earth, you are balancing karma. You are balancing karma by taking your stand for a very unpopular cause in this time; and by doing so, you are earning your stripes and you are receiving the reward that you know not of. This reward extends to you and to many who are tied to you and to loved ones. And when you perform such a noble and holy calling for the Brotherhood, we can perform for you those services [that are so necessary for your day-to-day victories on the Path].
Therefore, beloved, [one of the ways to] defend the Church is to increase its numbers by [demonstrating the power of] the spoken Word and [imparting] the Teaching. Leave this not to the Messenger but recognize that your own union with your Holy Christ Self does come about [through reaching out to extend the hand of the Brotherhood to the many who are almost here but need that helping hand of a friend]. As you would become chelas of Archangel Michael, truly the high and holy calling that every student of the Ascended Masters can aspire to, you yourselves are [ascending the ladder] of Hierarchy, you yourselves are being taken to temples of initiation and receiving blessings while you sleep at night.
Thus, beloved, all [things considered], we would say that we would give anything to be in embodiment today. And therefore we invite you to invite us to place our Electronic Presence over you at all times.
We desire to be in the earth and to be a part of this victory. We desire to be a part of it as [each lesser victory becomes] the [greater] victory of a planet and a solar system and a cosmos. We desire to lay at your feet, beloved, the blessed feet of your understanding, our Causal Bodies and all that we have given to the world. And we have done this and we do it again for this Church and for this Messenger. We would count you as our students and we would urge you to see such a grand opportunity of the hour [as does exist today for your personal victory].
Now, therefore, beloved, as you are aware of the pressing and urgent matters taking place in this nation as decisions are being made by this government and the governments of Europe, you must understand that all things are moving swiftly. And the race is to the swift and the strong.9 And it is a race to the finish to see who will get there first - those bent on the destruction of the nation and the Church or those bent on the absolute God-victory of both.
Blessed ones, the outcome is not sure until it is won. I must repeat to you, take nothing for granted. Do not take any victory for granted. This is a victory that must be won by you personally and individually.
Do not compromise the law. Do not allow yourselves that vulnerability whereby you are placed in the position of being apprehended through agencies of the government. You must tend to the law in all affairs and in all circumstances. And where you find individuals who are a part of this activity who are ignorantly (or willfully) on the wrong side of the law, I ask you to hasten to instruct them [as to what the law is] and to encourage them to [obey it and to] get legal advice in all of their doings. Be protected by the laws of the land, such as they are, and be protected by the laws of Almighty God.
I pray, then, that you will see how the work of millions who have gone before you in past golden ages, even the golden ages of Atlantis, does rest upon the grand finale of this 25,800 years.10 It is the desire of the Lords of Karma to see to it that, though the physical karma descend, the Victory shall be obtained.
Is there a group of souls who can face that karma, personal and planetary, and survive and be victors? Is there a group, beloved? I say to you, there is a group and it is this group of souls and all who are a part of this activity who make up this unit of the Mystical Body of God.
We desire, therefore, to see it multiplied for the strengthening of all. We desire to see you who have been here for many years truly feel drop upon your shoulders the mantle of responsibility that Christ gave to Peter to "feed my sheep" - not one shepherd in one Messenger but many shepherds [in many Chelas] to secure the sheepfolds that are all over the world, and especially those sheep that must be called into [Christ's] sheepfold from this nation. We desire to see this expansion, for the expansion of this Church is the expansion of the foundation of strength for the survival of America itself.
Beloved ones, I need not recount to you the members who are not here, whether those [whose mission] has been aborted while [they were yet] in the womb or those [whose souls] have been aborted by deprogramming sessions, by lies and gossip and that which has appeared in the press. The only way to undo this is to go out and find them, to go out and find them, I say - to go out and find them and to bring them in. It is necessary that one by one those things that have been spoken in secret as gossip and calumny be reversed and overturned by the witness to the Truth!
Do you understand, beloved, that the gift of Truth comes to you not without price? And the price is to witness! You must witness to the Truth and you must be shored up with the Truth [in order to be able to witness to it].
Therefore I recommend and I reiterate the recommendation of the Messenger that each and every one of you have with you at all times if possible, at least in your automobiles or near at hand, a copy of the New Testament with all of the words of Jesus in red letter. And therefore, when you feel burdened and despondent you may take out that New Testament and read through those red letters, which represent the blood of Christ11 that is shed for many for the remission of karma. And reading through them, you shall know comfort and strength and you shall remember that Jesus was persecuted and crucified before you. And you will not lose a moment in self-pity or despair or despondency but you will keep on keeping on.
In truth, beloved ones, the forces of Darkness know that they cannot ultimately win against the Light and the Lightbearers, and therefore their aim is to do as much damage as possible and to stop you and to prevent your ascension and to see to it that the spreading of these Teachings throughout the world is postponed for as much as centuries. And that is what may truly happen if you do not have your victory now.
I recommend to you, therefore, that you keep on dipping into the Light and that when you feel the weight of world depression descending (for the world itself is depressed at that which is coming upon it, as you have been told), you immediately reverse it and not allow yourself to go down under it. For it can become heavier and heavier the longer you allow it to sit upon you.
We have gone through all that you are going through, beloved. We have gone through it! We have pioneered! Truly, we are pioneers. And we have known what it is like to have black magicians opposing our service. We have known throughout our lifetimes what it is to have betrayers and what it is to have those who would go out with all manner of distortions and lies regarding our activity and service.
And therefore we feel very, very close to you. And we desire that you should feel very, very close to us and understand that you are not some freaks! And this is not some [isolated] event that has happened in your lives! And there is not something wrong with your leadership or the Messengers or the Ascended Masters! There is nothing wrong with anything, beloved. And if there is some error here and there on the part of people, well, that is a human quality and few are free of it.
But you must understand that this Truth is to go marching on and all the legions of Light are there at your command. And it is the Call [to God that is needed]. It is the enduring quality of Love [for one another that is needed]. And it is the ability to look at that which is inside of yourself that says, "I cannot any longer! I cannot be in the midst of this battle any longer! I cannot be under this stress any longer!"[ - and to say to it, "You have no power! Your day is done! Get thee behind me, Satan!"]
Beloved ones, you must overturn that [defeatist attitude]. You must seek a reprieve. You must take a rest. You must change your circumstance and perhaps change your diet. But, [come what may], you must recuperate [and regroup] your forces and know that all of these are lies and the attempt of the force to defeat you. And that force does insert its own voice into your mind, mimicking your voice, as though you were thinking or speaking to yourself; yet it is no part of your reality.
[Even as the sheep of the Good Shepherd know his voice, so you must also know the voice of the alien that enters the unprotected precincts of the mind to poison it. This is what "aggressive mental suggestion" is all about. Guard against it. Know the Truth and speak it in the face of every lie and liar.]
And therefore this is a time of supreme [soul] testing. [It is a time to be strong in the Lord, the I AM THAT I AM, and] to simply flick all these things aside, toss them out and go on and go on and go on and know that you are winning the Victory and you will not stop until you see that it is done!
Well, what do you say, Keepers of the Flame? Will you be victorious or not? Decide it this day! ["Yes!"]
In the center of the angelic hosts of Light of Mighty Victory we speak, not only out of cosmic heights but from the retreats that you frequent. We are surely a part of this activity and we surely direct all whom we can contact to come to it. Let us have your calls. Let us have the renewed fervor of those who know their Mighty I AM Presence and walk with that Presence and will not compromise for the sake of any human creation or human ideas.
If something you are doing is not right, is out of alignment [with the will of God], and you are told, let go of it and move on! Do not have a war within your members. Be willing to admit error and wrongdoing and to cast it aside and go on as quickly as you can blink your eyes.
It is always well to turn and face the Mighty I AM Presence. It is always well to count on Cyclopea for that unerring ray that does make clear what is the absolute choice that must be taken. Relative choices, though seemingly good choices, will not do.
You can [always] be a "do-gooder" and you can always find a reason to go hither and yon to take on another project, to embark on another journey or [get involved in] another scheme or another venture. Beloved, [the world is full of do-gooders,] but there is one cause and one cause only that is worthy of your allegiance!
And [therefore] we speak to you out of the Fourth Ray, for we are truly devotees of that Fourth Ray and of the white fire. And it is patently clear that the cause of the continuity of America as the place of the gathering of the "I AM" Race must be paramount and that the cause of the preservation of the Church and its expansion and the delivery of the message to the Lightbearers who are also called to ascend in this life is paramount!
I would that some among you would not rationalize [your involvement in] all kinds of lesser endeavors [simply] because they contribute some good to society. Well, we could be engaged in noble causes, doing good for society or even for one another, for centuries to come and be satisfied that we have done a good deed and helped others this day. But these others whom we would help and render human comfort to, blessed ones, where will they be when their time comes and they must pass their tests? Will they find your footprints? Will they find the records? Will they find the graveclothes in the tomb and bear witness to your resurrection and desire to follow in it?
The question is: Will planet earth endure as an option for a golden age, will planet earth be there when the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are intended to reembody on it in a golden age and will it be there for you yourself in future lifetimes? For you see, if you dally in your sewings and your quilt makings and all other distractions, will you, [in the final analysis,] make your ascension in any case?
I tell you, it takes a great deal of fire in the rocket to propel you into your ascension! And that fire must be banked daily until the eyes shine with a fire that is holy and unseen in most places on the planet. It must be a fire that builds in the chakras, for you never know when you are called [Home]. And once you are called, everything goes back to zero. You can no longer continue [in your sowings and your reapings]. That which you have completed up to that point is yours, and if you need an ounce more [time], you will not be given an ounce more time. [According to the Great Law,] you will have to reembody, [and if there is to be a mitigation of that Law, it will come only by the grace of God and his Son].
I say, then, the fervor and the zeal of Zarathustra be upon you and of Melchizedek and of all who have served on this white ray! It is time to give true attention to Serapis Bey and to his strictness and his sternness and not shirk it, for it is for your own good. And your own good is the good of the Church and the good of America; they are inextricably woven together. You are surely those who have championed freedom in all ages. You are surely those who deserve the prize. You are surely those who have earned it!
Therefore, know that the initiation at the two-thirds level of the pyramid is the initiation of heart. Heart, then, must be completed, must be fulfilled, all twelve petals and the many petals unnumbered of the rose of Light of the heart. Let the heart glisten with wisdom. Let it glisten with pure white fire and the love that deepens with the years.
May you know, beloved, that you have passed those initiations that qualify you for this one. Do not come to this place in ignorance and, sensing the challenge, withdraw and say, "Now is my time to get off this trolley."
No, beloved, it is not your time to get off. It is time to get on and stay on and take it to the finish and not lose the momentum of so many, many lifetimes of hard work and struggle and victories [you have won] over [the negative] forces [even] without the aid of such a Community of Light and such a presence of dispensation as we have had in this century. You have struggled long and hard. Will you now faint? Will you faint, beloved? ["No!"]
I pray that you will remember what so many have given before you and that you will know what does not need to be repeated again - that we were given the dispensation of decrees, we were given the violet flame, we were given the Chart of the I AM Presence. These foundations you have built upon.
Without the decrees, the I AM movement would not have lasted for many months. Without the violet flame, many students would not have taken their ascension as they have. And without the vision of the I AM Presence, America could have been lost decades ago. Yet she has been preserved by this continuity of the Word, the bulk of which has been carried [forward] by yourselves. And I say that, beloved, somewhat mournfully; for the I AM movement has not carried the power and decree momentum that you have generated.
And therefore, we two stand on this platform this day in profound gratitude to both of your Messengers. And you should also be grateful that they have brought to you this mighty acceleration of the Word and that you have accepted it despite the criticism, even of I AM students, that your decrees are too fast and therefore psychic. I say, they are not! And you are quivering the very earth body with those decrees.
Thus, beloved, as we are grateful for the Messengers, may your gratitude also be expressed by your own acceptance of this calling to support them and to support your activity, your Church and your future.
We bid you our love with all of our hearts. And we come with legions that God has assigned to us for our service and we add them to your own.
May you be free forever and forever! And may you one day stand with us, ascended in the Light and free, and look back upon this occasion and this decade and see it as your finest hour and your moment of victory when you did not flinch, you did not faint but you did what was required and more to be sure, to be sure, to be sure that you were not outsmarted by the sons of Belial and the fallen ones.
I bid you our Love and our Victory! [57-second standing ovation]
"The Summit Lighthouse Sheds Its Radiance O'er All the World to Manifest as Pearls of Wisdom."This dictation by Godfre and Lotus was delivered at the conclusion of the July 7, 1990 Saturday evening service at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana.
In the fall of 1984 I had a severe problem with my bladder and a chronic, supposedly incurable condition called interstitial cystitis. The symptoms included bleeding and severe pain in the bladder. I had been unable to work for 3-4 weeks and couldn't be out of bed for more than an hour at a time due to the pain. The doctors told me there was nothing they could do for me.
One Wednesday evening Mother was scheduled to be at Deer Park Chapel for a healing service, one where she would give calls for people individually. My co-workers fortunately forced me to go to the service and insisted that I go to the altar when Mother called for people.
I went to the service, but by the time I got there and had been in the chapel about an hour, I was in too much pain to stay. At a certain point I decided I just couldn't sit there one minute longer. When I got up to leave, Mother was walking in the door, so I decided to stay.
When Mother asked for people to come to the altar for her to give calls for them, I forced myself up there. I told my story and she made fiery calls for me and my situation. I remember looking into her eyes and seeing the depth of her love for my soul and her sincere desire to help me. That in itself was a touching experience that I will never forget.
When I left the altar the pain was totally gone and I was back at work the next day for the first time in 3-4 weeks. Although I still had to fight the condition and it took some time to get back in top shape, I remained on my feet after that night and this condition has been in remission to date by the grace of God. It was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced.
