Take Up the Challenge of the Fallen Angels
No Christhood without the Slaying of Antichrist
Out of the Light of the Cosmic Christ, this day I am come to you, your Magda - Magda of the Heart of Jesus, Magda of the Roses.
Now at this feast of the Lord's passion and the fasting and the prayer and the victory, now in the hour of the Son of God - who did demonstrate for you, beloved, his victory over Death and Hell in the seed of the wicked1 who sought to deny him the fullness of his mission but could not - will you not take your example from my Beloved and understand that this victory is not merely over the astral plane but it is over Evil incarnate: it is over the forces of Evil who move among you, even in your very midst as the dweller-on-the-threshold,2 and those who would come to spy out your liberty as they did mine.3
Yes, beloved, our God is everywhere. Remember the balance of heaven and hell in this octave and therefore know how to outsmart the fallen ones, to rebuke them and then to move on by the power of resurrection's flame for the fullness of the Mission. This is the example that I would show you this day.
For there is not a single son or daughter of God who does go forth in his name but what that one must take up the challenge of the fallen angels. To meet them directly you must first conquer their seed sown as tares in the genetic code of yourself, in the garment [of your soul], in the propensities of your very humanness.
Therefore, beloved, shirk not this Mission. It is the Calling: no Christhood without the slaying of Antichrist in self and society. So great is the salvation, so great the tribulation, so great the sweet cup of victory when you finally drink it!
Would you not have, as Jesus did, the balance of a full life of healing and preaching the Word and advising disciples? Would you not see the full glory of the Christ in your temple? Then, as you have been told, fear not the pain. Fear not the persecution. Welcome it! Let it accelerate to its demise as it finds in you a literal fire infolding itself.4
Let the fire take it up and let the puffs of black smoke be the sign that a portion of hell is consumed because you dare to live in the flaming Flame that is not quenched.5 It is not quenched by wickedness or the seed of the wicked but they are quenched by it. They are put to naught by it. They are consumed.
Now let us understand what is the full Calling and the Mission. See how all of us who were with John the Baptist and Jesus in the inner circle were taught by our Lord to face and overcome the enemy within and without.
When you conquer fear and the sense of unworthiness and self-doubt, when you cease to lean upon the human consciousness for the God-solution, when you trust that the words will be placed in your mouth [and that you will know] what to speak and when to speak and when to keep silent, when you know you are on a mission with the knights and ladies of the flame of Camelot of old, of Crotona, of the [ancient] mystery schools and of the inner circle of the Buddha as well, then, beloved, you no longer seek to avoid the uncomfortable, the confrontation. You no longer hope that no one will call upon you to speak, that you will not have to give answer or testimony [on behalf] of your Lord and your Saviour.
Welcome the adversary! Welcome adversity! And do not, beloved, avoid the encounter. But do not entertain them too long, just long enough to [take note of] that particular code of the logic of the carnal mind. Then let that momentum, let that code and consciousness pass into the violet flame [while you] move on. This is the Calling, beloved.
Watch how when you speak truth in the face of error, error is silenced but not necessarily for long; for the backlash will come until the cause and core on all planes of being is consumed by the sacred fire. There is a joy in this, like sweeping the house, like washing the windows, like clearing the air with the smell of roses.
O blessed hearts, the cleaning up of the universe, of home and hearth and temple and cathedral, of Church and State! This is the joy of a planetary housecleaning: Out comes the dust, out come the dusty ones lurking in the corners! They come before the eye of your Presence and the dazzling light does expose them and you move on, beloved; for the armour of the LORD is upon you, the helmet of righteousness.6 May your mind be stayed upon God and be endued truly with the Light of the Christ and the Buddha.
I have come to give you, then, an understanding of all that has been accomplished since last I spoke with you.7 Understand, then, that I have been able to accelerate mightily in service with my newfound freedom and dispensation of victory. I have centered my heart in the hearts of those among you who receive me and in the heart of the Messenger.
I would help you to make all things right. I would help you with your stand for every soul's right to life, [her right] to live in the temple prepared by God in the womb of the mother. I would take a stand with you on social issues as I did in my final embodiment. What is the call of the army of the Lord if it is not to defeat the forces of Death and Hell that attack youth and [those of] every age?
If I were to point to one particular ill that may be the cause of all other ills, I would tell you that it is television itself occupying the minds of people of all ages until their thinking and reasoning grow dull and they have no time for anything but to follow the serials or the sports or the this or the that. Their minds are occupied with unreality.
Fiction is of the astral plane except when it does make a historical or religious point, or [focus on] some truth [that] may be brought forth through it. But merely to follow the meanderings of soap operas, of episodes upon episodes that weary one for their repetition, to do so, beloved, is to allow oneself to be dragged through the astral plane of those who create these titillations of the senses to boost their ratings, sell products and make stars of individuals who are surely falling stars, who are spending their light by the very squandering of that light. May you then seek the reality of the living God in real people, in love and in interchange and in worship together.
May you know that I have also heard my Lord speak this day and I will work with him and with you, with many souls ascended and those in the etheric octaves of Light who are asking for and have received the dispensation to work with the Ascended Masters and yourselves prior to their ascension that they might fully balance their karma and earn that reward of union with God.
Some of these are those who tarry in the etheric octave, as it is written, "beneath the altar of God,"8 waiting until those upon earth are also received and redeemed. Thus you will have cohorts of Light, truly a body of millions of advanced souls who will assist you in the cause to which you have been called.
Another of my projects with you is to see the acceleration [in the production] of educational materials, to see that that which you have [created] is made available to so many precious children who are coming into embodiment and to those who are already here and to the older [ones] who must be retaught to read, understanding the laws of reading and of phonics. Therefore, my presence of love and joy is there in the nursery, there in your schools, there wherever there is a mother or teacher who does take these little ones and give to them the teachings that Mother Mary gave to Jesus and that Elizabeth gave to John.
Education has always been a high priority in the mystery schools of the Brotherhood, and therefore John and Jesus were truly trained in understanding many things and were highly evolved, educated and qualified for their missions.
The healing arts is also a subject that I would address. The power of the healing light, the power of that ray of healing that descends from Archangel Raphael and Mother Mary and Jesus Christ through the Messenger must be made available to you. The Messenger is willing, beloved, and you are making progress in taking care of administrative details so that she may tend to those things that are truly the "better part."9
And therefore, if you can see to the freeing of the time of the Messenger, we will see, as she so desires to be that instrument to you, that she will be available to make invocations on your behalf, on behalf of the body of Light upon earth at your healing services. As it was done before, so it may be done again.
Let us then have the priorities set and let qualified Keepers of the Flame from all over the world who recognize their calling to serve here at our headquarters know that by their service they may make lighter work for many of our staff and truly also for the Messenger.
Ponder well your place in this planetary antahkarana, as it is called. For the antahkarana is the web of light that you establish and strengthen with your prayers, dynamic decrees and those very special Ashram rituals from the heart of El Morya.
Thus, beloved, healing is a light that flows. Jesus called me to be his instrument and told me that he would heal through me and so he did. And therefore many were converted to Jesus Christ by my ministry as Aimee Semple McPherson. Thus, may you know that the healing ministry is a part of the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
This is a church of the Holy Spirit. May you all be infilled by that Spirit and cherish it and pursue it and give of yourselves to be self-emptied that you might be filled again and again.
The Holy Spirit is a magnet of love that will draw kindred souls to your hearts and open to them the Book of Life10 and the little book of Saint Germain11 and the Everlasting Gospel12 and the sacred mysteries that are from the beginning of the world, which Jesus would also continue to impart to your hearts.
O the riches of the Spirit that are upon you! O the mighty fortress of this land and mountains, where there is earth and water and sky and blue and heaven! These things are what the Body of God do cherish, not temples made with hands13 but truly the great cathedral of Mother Nature and the etheric retreat so near and the presence of angels unlimited.
Blessed ones, "angels unlimited" sounds like [the name of] an organization you might found. See what you think you might perform as the industriousness of hand and heart and head under the title of "Angels Unlimited." For you see, you are unlimited in numbers of angels embodied among you as well as those moving in [your midst in] the etheric octave.
There is a great gathering of angels and even a tumult as they also give their alleluias and acclamations unto God. This entire area is becoming known at inner levels and by souls of Light who journey [here] in their finer bodies during sleep as the haven of angels - the harbor, or heaven, of angels.
Thus, as you understand your companionship with them, [so you ought to] also learn from them, for they are wise and innocent simultaneously. They are ancient as the Ancient of Days and yet so young at heart and childlike. They are mighty in the LORD, they are gentle. They protect you from harm and comfort you and keep your soul's inner vision clear - [the vision] of your God and of the inner temples of Light and of the universities of the Spirit.
Angels are your best friends and helpers. And, believe me, you are never alone with your problems and burdens except when you so indulge them that you let go of the garment of these precious ones.
I rejoice to be here and I am grateful to be able to sit [with you] and speak with you and to know the great comfort, as I have it with you, that can be extended to so many who feel bereft of the true Spirit of the living God in their places of worship, who find that they are not with kindred souls and who also observe that some among the clergy have not the Light14 that they need to lead them to the higher calling.
All Lightbearers of this world respond this day to Jesus' Call to that higher calling. They want to know how to do it. They want to be taught. They want to meet you! They want you to come to their cities and bring them the joy of this place, so simple on the outer. Is it not the stable you keep beneath the palace above, the palace of Light?15
Yes, beloved, you know that you build for eternity. And therefore to champion principles and causes and justice in this state, to champion those things that are real that will protect life for future generations: these are the things that are important to you. And therefore, you have not built temples made with hands.
For you have seen that the world is full of temples made with hands, full of cathedrals where darkness dwells and cobwebs and evil spirits. For their priests and priestesses have lost the art of exorcism, for they have not exorcised themselves of Darkness but have squandered the Light of the chakras. And therefore, they are no match for the forces of Darkness, the black magicians and those who practice witchcraft and Satanism.
[These forces] are abroad in the land and there are few if any who challenge them. Even some Keepers of the Flame who knew of satanic practices, who had begun to pray for the binding of those individuals involved, ceased their praying, taking note of strange and dangerous things that began to happen in their lives.
Thus you see, beloved, it does require a concerted action on the part of the people of God to challenge those blatant Satanists who offer animal and human sacrifice and use their misuse of the sacred fire and incantations in an attempt to enslave the children of the Light, to take from them their life-force and to put down this true religion and true Church.
Think not that they do not move against you in an intense manner. They do, beloved, for they recognize you and this Community as the only threat that remains to their dominance of society.
The practice of Satanism is rampant even among those who are in the Establishment. Therefore, I come to tell you by Jesus' request that inasmuch as they are there, inasmuch as they are an offense to God and human life and an offense to you in this Church, it is necessary for you to daily launch a counterattack against their offensive against you.
Fear not, for the power of God in Community is the great mystery of the sangha of the Buddha. You are linked together by such cords of love of Elohim of God that you must know that as long as you are right with Love you are protected and may take on these challenges. This is why these communities have been founded for thousands of years; for devotees of Light have had to hold the balance against the forces of hell that the children of Light might make it in their century and day.
Now, beloved ones, we see the mystery of God unfolding in the newborn babe, in the child of Light; and we are grateful that so many can come into this Community in this window of opportunity.
May all know that these souls of Light coming with so great a Light are also opposed, which means that their parents and teachers and the Community itself are opposed by forces of Darkness who have challenged these lifestreams in their past incarnations. They have sought them out again to destroy them, as Herod did kill the male babies who were born at the time of Jesus, [some of whom were] intended to be a part of his bands.
Yes, beloved, pray for the parents as well as the children and understand yourselves as forming a mosaic, one and all together, that is a cradle to receive these children that they might have wondrous training according to their inner calling and the great talents that they bring.
A number of years ago you were told that you must raise the standard of this Community, of education, of child rearing if you were to have souls of attainment coming in.16 Many of you have striven and sacrificed to establish these higher standards and to provide these children with all that they need in their diet, in their educational materials, in their surroundings, in their recreation, in their exercise activities.
And therefore we see now the Karmic Board assigning souls to this Community for the holding of the balance in the earth and as a link in the chain to the future of what God may bring about in the coming centuries.
May you know that when such children come, all hell breaks loose in attack of their parents and of the Community. It is time to hold on when the blasts of hell come against you and to remember your First Love and your great commitment to the Three Jewels - the Buddha, the Sangha, the Dharma.
The Dharma, beloved. The Dharma is the body of Light above you, your Causal Body and the rings of that mighty Tree of Life. The Dharma is your reason for being. It is who you are. It is what you are. Cell by cell you are made up of the Teaching. You are made up of the Law, of its precepts, of its love. You embody the Dharma. You embody the Buddha. You are the embodiment of the Community, the original mystery schools of Lord Maitreya and of those ancient settings come again.
May you fight for your right to be a Community. For this Community, as it has been said before, is an archetypal pattern of communities of the age of Aquarius that will be established because some of you will be here and then go forth as pilgrims to establish them - but only when called upon [to do so] by El Morya, your sponsor.
Thus it is a "New-Age" way of living. And it is the ingenious method devised by the Ancient of Days whereby the sons and daughters of God might resist in their circle of oneness the attempts to penetrate and overturn their good works, their higher standards and their teaching of the people of a new freedom - a freedom, then, from the bondage of fear under tyrants in Church and State who would bind them to methods of government and to an orthodox religion that does not reflect the kingdom of God or his true Church.
Thus, beloved, strength is in numbers but only when those numbers know the Law of the One: that God is one and he is one alone and you are all one in that God and there is only one Person, in the mystical sense of the word - as Paul saw it, all of you members of the one Body of Christ.17 That strength, beloved, is the key from the heart of the Divine Mother that will allow you to challenge the fallen ones and still remain.
Take care, then, that you render unto Caesar, that you obey all laws and leave no Achilles' heel for any to take thy crown. The cross and the crown are one. Endure to the end,18 O beloved.
You who have made the trek this Easter, this pilgrimage to this very special place, know that Mother Mary has received you and that Mother Mary has acknowledged you and acknowledged your longings, your suffering, your joy. Now go forth with her also. Let her be your companion and constant guide.
So great a cosmic teacher is she, so wise in dominion; and she will teach you to put the moon of your human creation and human emotions beneath your feet. And the serpents shall not assail you but they shall tremble where you walk. Trust and obey the voice of God within.
I have walked long by your side for many centuries. Now I am with you, just a little bit ahead of you on the path of Life.
These are the thoughts of my heart, the musings of my soul as I have come to have this chat with you today. May you be comforted that I am so very close to you, so much so that you may even meet people today who have known me in my previous life. Therefore touch those who can say they shook Aimee's hand, even as some of you may say that you shook Lanello's hand.19
Now in the joy of the golden sun setting on this day, I remind you to return to the Spirit of the Resurrection every day of your life, the Spirit of the Resurrection in the Great Central Sun, who does descend to initiate each son and daughter of God in his time, in her time when the hour is come that that resurrection flame is made a permanent part of his or her aura and being.
This prize, beloved, is worth facing squarely the crucifixion and moving beyond it. This is the key of Easter: to deal with Death and move beyond it and live to fulfill your Mission.
I seal you from my heart to yours with eternal roses. Roses I shall always bring to bless you with the heart petals of my Beloved.
This dictation by the Ascended Lady Master Magda was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Easter Sunday, March 31, 1991, during the five-day Class of the Resurrection Lightning held at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. It is available with the dictations of Jesus Christ, the Fourteen Ascended Masters Who Govern the Destiny of America and Saint Germain on videocassette (152 min., GP91049) and on audiocassette (183 min., A91058). Magda's dictation is also available separately on videocassette (53 min., HP91052). [N.B. Throughout this Pearl, bracketed material denotes words unspoken yet implicit in the dictation, added by the Messenger under Magda's direction for clarity in the written word.] Throughout these notes PoW is the abbreviation for Pearls of Wisdom.
I came into the Teachings in September 1986 in Washington, D.C., and attended my first conference in July 1987 - Freedom 1987 - in the Heart of the Inner Retreat at the beautiful Royal Teton Ranch in Montana.
When I first began attending services I would go home and do my decrees and study the Teachings but I was still listening to rhythm and blues. I was not aware of the Ascended Masters' teachings on music.
Being black, I did not listen to heavy metal and rock music. Many black people don't particularly care for rock music, at least from my generation (I am 39 years old). Since a lot of black music at this time used the word love, I was fooled into believing it was acceptable. The word love is so abused in musical lyrics.
I heard my first dictation at Freedom 1987. It was from Beloved Surya, who came to judge the fallen ones behind rock music. When I heard this, I did not make the connection between rock music, rhythm and blues and jazz. I thought Surya just meant "rock music."
During the conference there were programs for new people, so I went to a lecture by the Messenger entitled "The Science of Rhythm for the Mastery of the Sacred Energies of Life: Uses and Misuses of the Word in the Music of East and West." We were given little booklets to follow along with. In these booklets were illustrations of chakras and the damage that is done to them through the discordant vibrations of sound.
Some rock music was played and I could easily accept that this was discordant. Later, some of my old favorite rhythm-and-blues tunes were played. I looked at the pictures of the chakras and how damaged they were, and in my heart I cried out to God to cut me free from my attachment to this music.
Then the Messenger said she wanted us to hear what the correct rhythm of the sacred energies sounds like. She played for us an Indian raga. Immediately my soul leapt for joy as though she were thirsting for this precious sound! All of a sudden, in my third eye I saw a being with many arms spinning around and dancing very fast. I sat there in amazement but I didn't say anything to anyone.
As soon as the lecture was over, I ran to a friend of mine who had been in the Teachings for many years and asked her, "Who is that being who dances with many arms?" I told her I just saw him, and she told me, "That was Lord Shiva." Then I told another friend and she said that Shiva was clearing my third eye from the music I had been listening to.
I was so happy. God is so loving and merciful! He was forgiving me and healing me from this past indulgence and proving to me that what I had just heard about the perversions of sound was true.
Now it is 1991. One day around September 1990 I was coming home from work in Chicago. I was walking behind a group of very young black children who were carrying a big radio that was playing very loud. They were listening to what is called "rap music." This is the latest craze among the black youth. What astounded me were the words that the group was singing. They included the most outrageous profanity and violent descriptions of how to abuse women. There were profoundly graphic genital references.
I walked over to them and politely asked them what group they were listening to, and they told me. As I looked into their young eyes, I could see that they were already dead to the sensitivity of life. They were in a deathlike vibration from this music that was programming their young Christ minds.
How can anyone expect them to grow up and have respect for their mothers, future girlfriends and wives and children? They are being programmed to be lost before they are even found - found in their Christ mind.
I had the realization that the fallen ones were aware that many black people don't like rock music so they came up with "rap music" to destroy this sector of the youth. I have lived in Washington, D.C., New York City and now Chicago and have had my whole life to observe the inner-city black youth. In short, our youth are in trouble. It is bad enough that we have drugs and sex education in the schools to contend with, but this "rap music" is going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back of the black community.
When children hear this profanity and their parents give them the money to buy this music and expensive radios, what kind of message do they receive?
One morning I was up early getting ready to do my morning decrees. It was one of those mornings when you would rather get more sleep. I was sitting at my altar and I looked out the window and saw a school bus stop to pick up some children. I thought to myself, "What are these precious children going to be introduced to this morning? Drugs, alcohol, sex, rap and rock music, computer pornography?" Then I surrendered them into Mother Mary's hands.
I am so grateful to have my decrees and the Teachings of the Ascended Masters. I can't personally follow every child to school to protect them from all the social ills, but the legions of Mother Mary and Archangel Michael can - and this is what makes having these Teachings so valuable.
You can call to millions of angels to protect all the precious children. You can call to them every day or every hour. This is the divine solution to the problem, along with the spreading of the Truth of the Ascended Masters' Teachings. This is Love on a grand scale - not the perverted love conceptions that are being sung about in today's music.
If you want to know what love is, come to The Summit Lighthouse and learn the LOVE teachings of the Ascended Masters!
With profound love and gratitude to the Brotherhood,
