Lakshmi I AM. Lakshmi I AM! Oh yes, beloved, I come to mediate. I come representing Vishnu, Lord Krishna. I AM the representative of the ones who are the shining Sons of all of cosmos and the One who is the Son, Lord Vishnu, in so many manifestations.
Right within you now is Vishnu in the person of your Holy Christ Self. You are familiar with the term Christ Self. How does it feel to say, "My beloved Vishnu, descend into my temple now!"
Blessed ones, it feels good, does it not? ["Yes!"]
So understand that we go before our consorts. As you receive us, so you receive them. They enter because we have first entered. Thus, the Divine Mother is always the [one] closest to her children.
And so in this hour, let the egos fall! And let the fallen ones who have fallen by the ego fall! Let them fall under the line of Helios and Vesta and the great cosmic hierarchy of Aries. This is the hour of the judgment. So let them be judged!
So let there come the dawn of a new day of a people who have the inner strength because they have self-emptied themselves of that ego and the Divine is indwelling. No need to prance about and strut the ego when the whole of the Divine Ego lives within you!
It is such an awesome experience that it makes you be quiet and sense a hush all about you that God walks where you walk, that God is in your temple, that Vishnu is firmly centered on the throne in the secret chamber of your heart. Understand, beloved, that when you know that God is in you, when you know that you are that God-manifestation and that he who is one with God is God, you have no need to sing your praises or to make certain that someone is aware of your talents and abilities.
Beloved ones, be in awe of the indwelling Presence of God. Go often to the altar of the inner Light and thank your God and your Great Guru, Sanat Kumara, who has saved you for this hour.
Yes, I plead with you to also be the Saviouress and the consort of the Saviouress. I plead with you, beloved, for there will be no new day and no golden age if there is not a passing of the mighty torch of the ancient ones of thousands of years and tens of thousands of years and of past golden ages and histories of a planet unchronicled [in this era].
The torch must be passed and it is not being passed. Look at the true gap between generations - [the gap between] the knowledge that you have had and the knowledge that your children and children's children do not have, [the gap between] what you were taught and what they have not been taught. It is frightening to you and it is frightening to us.
You must close this gap. You must transfer to those generations coming after you what they have missed in the schools. You must turn off the television set, as Sarasvati has said. Throw it out the window! Get rid of it! And commune with the Child of your child - commune with the inner person! Otherwise you will find your children growing up as lonely ones, as ones who seek the company not of Lightbearers but of the role models they have seen on the television, yes, beloved, the antiheroes and -heroines.
Blessed hearts, there is no place for you to be except with the little children for a portion of your life. And extend that! Be not content just to be near those in the circle of your family. Extend your love! Open your home! Teach the children! Welcome them in! Feed them what their souls need and what their bodies need. Give them love, not a mechanical TV set and mechanical people and mechanical gods and scripts written for their minds and advertising for their [desire bodies].
Yes, you have heard it before, but you have not heard it from Lakshmi! And I tell you, beloved, this is an hour to make the difference, to turn the world around or to lose the children of the Light and all children of planet earth. I say this as a most urgent message of this Fourth of July conference here in the [dwelling] place of the beloved Gautama Buddha.
Yes, beloved, we are mothers and fathers all. Now let us not go back to the former level of neglect and of not tuning in to what is the need of the hour.
I AM Lakshmi. Remember me in the morning and remem-ber me in the night. Remember me when you take your soul jour-neys, and invoke us, [Vishnu and me,] as you take your leave of your body at night to go and serve those individuals who need your care.
Yes, continue to set your mark on Yugoslavia, for the judgment must descend and the Lightbearers must be protected. But you can multiply this by transferring to the map of the world the concentration that you have placed there [in Yugoslavia]. And when you return to the Royal Teton Retreat after your night's work, you can transfer that entire momentum [of your inner work] to other areas of the earth and not dilute the concentration of [that work]. This is the multiplication of God's power. This is the multiplication and maximizing of your effort.
Call to us and we will teach you to multiply your Presence, your Electronic Presence. We will use our Presence as mediators to assist you that you might place yourselves in many places through your own Christ Self wedded to the Divine Mothers. Yes, beloved, you can increase your effectiveness and your work. And watch how the newspapers do reflect that which is going on at inner levels.
I, then, go with Sarasvati this night to the Retreat of the Divine Mother that is over the Royal Teton Ranch. Come, then, to that retreat and meet others who wait for you, for the representatives of the Divine Mother hold a reception for all of you this night. Bring your children and make the call for all Lightbearers of the world to gather.
For we must have our convention! We must have our meet-ing of the minds! We must determine at inner levels to take our assignments and meet in committee and go in full force with an organized plan into the towns and cities and the nations for the illumination of the children and for the giving to those children who have a spiritual light and a desire to know the Truth that cup of wisdom, that cup of knowledge, that cup of Christ consciousness, that cup of the Inner Buddha.
We are your friends. Come, take our hands - hands of all of us who represent the mighty ones. Come! Come! Come! We are the Shakti!
Will you be the Shakti with us? ["Yes!"]
Will you make it happen? ["Yes!"]
Yes, beloved, say yes! Lay the plan and the blueprint, and do it! And call for our strength, for you will need it and we will give it! [35-second standing ovation]
This dictation by the Goddess Lakshmi was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Thursday, July 2, 1992, during the ten-day conference FREEDOM 1992: "Joy in the Heart" held at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. [N.B. Throughout this Pearl, bracketed material denotes words unspoken yet implicit in the dictation, added by the Messenger under Lakshmi's direction for clarity in the written word.]
I Shall Not Be Moved by Earthquakes
I would like to witness to the power of the Teachings of the Ascended Masters in a moment of an emergency.
It happened in the city of Guayaquil, Ecuador, where my husband was working. I had an apartment in the same building where the main offices of the company were, and I had just come from seeing the craftsman who was remodeling my living-room furniture.
I had one hand on the closet door and the other on a hanger, ready to hang my dress in the closet, when the whole room started to move. I said, "Oh, my God! It is an earthquake!" I then took a big breath, centered myself in my heart in the white fire core of being, and visualized the tube of light covering the whole apartment.
The next thing I remember was the earthquake passing. The building was still trembling a little, but I went out of the apartment and into the corridor that led to the stairs where the main offices of the company were. I saw all the people that worked there gathered at the main entrance door, some crying and screaming. Big books and binders had fallen off the shelves and were scattered on the floor. The whole office was a mess. The rest of the buildings in that complex had all been damaged, as well as many others all over the city.
The people from the company were surprised that nothing had happened in my apartment. I had three shelves of parcels from all over the world and souvenirs and gifts of all sizes - but none were harmed. Nothing was damaged in my apartment.
I have always wanted to tell you this story. Now I am grateful that I can share it with all through the "I AM the Witness" column in the Pearls of Wisdom.
I was about five or six years old when I first had a certain dream. It was a beautiful dream in which I was lost after a storm. Alone I wandered and came upon a single house. When I knocked on the door, a lady opened it. She was in her golden years with silvered hair. She was very gracious and kind.
Welcoming me, the lady laid out a cloth covered with necklaces of precious gems - emeralds, sapphires, rubies and diamonds. She offered me my choice and invited me to come inside. I took an emerald one and went in.
As I explored the house, I found a room that had many seats in rows and a sloping aisle leading toward a platform. The room seemed larger inside than the house had looked outside. And, amazingly, the air was blue - not smokey, but clear, with every molecule softly shimmering in royal blue light.
I really enjoyed this dream and it came again a couple of times a year over the next few years. Sometimes there were minor variations in it, but the lady, the jewels and the room were always the same. I loved the necklace but what really intrigued me was the room.
Then the dream didn't come as often, but I found that I could ask to experience it again and I would. As I matured, however, I forgot all about it.
In the fall of 1976, I attended my second Summit Lighthouse conference. It was in Pasadena, the first there since the purchase of the campus. The auditorium was newly decorated and full-length blue curtains formed the backdrop for the altar and covered the walls.
As the lights dimmed and the meditation music swelled for the first dictation, I looked around and all I saw was blue. My heart began to beat faster and I took a quick breath. I looked again - even the air seemed blue!
... BLUE?! Tears welled up in my eyes. I perceived the room of my dreams!
I am so grateful to you, dear God, for giving me that dream so many times over so that I wouldn't pass up the precious gems of the Ascended Masters' Teachings when I found them!
And a special thanks to Ascended Lady Master Clara Louise, the first Mother of the Flame. In her recent dictation (1991 Pearls of Wisdom, p. 385), she said:
When I was in my final embodiment I had many hours to pray and I developed an intense white fire to direct into problems at a world level, those involving children and individuals for whom I would pray. That momentum came with many years of fierce, undivided attention for hours of [keeping my] morning vigil on behalf of the babies and youth.
I see so many among you for whom I did pray in this my final incarnation, and I would tell you that it is clear in the record that my prayers did make the difference in your entering the Path.
And it is true. You see, she was the lady in my dream.
Oh, let us also pray for the children and youth of the world that they may find the Teachings and come all the way Home!
The tender care and love that Mother Mary has for each one of us was recently so clearly demonstrated to me that I would like to share the experience with you.
During the month of May I increased my devotions to Mother Mary, as we were especially consecrating that month to her flame. In mid-June it was my turn for night-shift duty in my department. Each night after everyone else had gone, I would play the Sanctissima album. The songs of this "Musical Mass for World Peace" helped sustain a forcefield of Light in the office. Then came our July conference, Joy in the Heart.
One day during the conference I noticed that I did not feel right. I was short of breath, somewhat light-headed and felt pressure in my chest. I later learned that doctors interpret pressure as pain. I also found the following passage in the American Red Cross Community CPR Workbook:
The most significant signal of a heart attack is chest discomfort or pain. A victim may describe it as uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, a fullness or tightness, or as an aching, crushing, constricting, oppressive, or heavy feeling. The pain is described as being in the center of the chest behind the breastbone. The pain may spread to one or both shoulders or arms, or to the neck, jaw, or back. In addition to chest pain, there may be other signals, including sweating, nausea, shortness of breath.
After I consulted with our staff doctor, it was decided that I should have my heart checked out. So, I was taken to the hospital emergency room. Even though an electrocardiogram did not indicate a problem, the emergency-room doctor thought it best to keep me overnight and do some further testing the next morning.
There I was that night, lying in bed, hooked up to a heart monitor, possibly having had damage to my heart. Needless to say, I was not feeling very pleased especially since I had not quite reached the age of fifty. It was then that I remembered a dream I had had about a week before, which I had described to two other staff members.
In the dream I was sitting up in a bed similar to the hospital bed in which I was now lying. A woman, another staff member, had her arm around my shoulders and was comforting me. I knew that in the dream this woman represented the Mother Flame and Mother Mary. She told me, "Your heart is fine."
At the time, I thought the dream might have spiritual significance. Even so, I had made calls for the protection of my heart and the hearts of everyone around me.
As I lay in the hospital bed remembering the dream, I was again comforted. I knew that no matter what had occurred earlier that day, my heart was fine. I marveled that such comfort had been given even before it was needed. I am grateful to Mother Mary and Kuan Yin for such a blessing. They are truly so very close to each one of us.
After further tests the next morning, including a jog on a treadmill and a checkup two weeks later, there was no evidence that a heart attack had occurred. I decided that even though I had not had a heart attack, I would take the event as a warning and get my body in better shape. Exercise is now tops on my list and "rebounding" has become part of my daily routine.
Another interesting thing is that the day I had the symptoms was my fifteenth anniversary on staff. What a wonderful anniversary gift of comfort Mother Mary gave to me - ahead of time!
In gratitude for the presence of the Mother Flame, I send my love to you and all of our other Mothers above.
