Healing: To Be Wounded yet to Arrive at the Prize
Come and be rocked in the arms of the Divine Mother.
I, Lanello, speak to each soul and I take you back to the moment of the soul's perfection, before the soul was marred or lost or in any way soiled by the consciousness of mortality. Yes, beloved, know your soul as newly born in this moment in the arms of the Divine Mother and the Divine Father.
Thus, I show you yourself in this holy innocence that you might understand that it is indeed possible to return to that state of holy innocence.
The scarring of this world cannot be permanent unless you decree it by the misuse of the Light of your I AM Presence. Scars of the world may become deeper, as wounds in the soul, by your daily reinforcement and revolving of those happenings unfortunate.
Now see how the soul is wrapped in the swaddling garment of Light and of violet flame. Look at your soul and see how the gentle caressing of the violet flame is a healing unguent. See how your God Parents are tending to your wounds daily. See how you break them open again by lamenting the unfortunate occurrences instead of glorifying God, praising God and affirming your wholeness in the Beginning, your wholeness in the Ending!
What is all of this in between, beloved?
It is the descent into maya. And it shall be consumed as you place the preponderance of your being - I mean the weight of your being, the great weight of your Causal Body and Higher Consciousness - in the perfection of who you are right now. Yes, right now, beloved. Right now is the Beginning and the Ending. And if you see yourself in between, that is the danger zone of consciousness. Go not there!
You are either on one side of the precipice or the other. And if you must cross it, cross it by taking the mighty rope of the Lord Krishna and swinging from one side to the next! Do not dangle precipitously over the canyon, beloved! But be upon the rock in consciousness, in mind, in will, in daily footprint on the path of Life.
So many, many footprints in the earth! I follow those of the pilgrims who with each step are willing to climb the jagged rocks, even to be wounded in order to attain the next level of God consciousness. For such as these know that to be wounded yet to arrive at the prize is to know that with the prize awaits the healer and the healing of all that has passed.
O beloved, make your way through life as a conqueror! Master the body and become the Lord within that body instead of a body with a consciousness diffused, fuzzy, not pinpointed. This is the meaning of yangness of the spirit centered in the seed of Light.
I AM Lanello. I am so near to you because I have walked with you. I have sired children who are among you and some who are not. I have been with you in many lifetimes and I have borne my burden of karma indeed. But I have kept to the heart of the Divine Mother, and the Divine Mother in the person of Mary has been with me unto my victory.
Now I do not leave you! I dote over you and upon you. I am with you, beloved, but it is of no use or avail if you will not clear your vision. Look into the mirror of self and stop seeing the portrayal of failure, but see the original soul perfect in God.
Yes, beloved, will the mind! Do not indulge it in those areas that take you too far from the center pole of being! Do not be so extended out and distended in consciousness that you are fair game for any little half-pint demon that desires to unhorse you and does.
Blessed hearts, my Beloved has given you the key0 and if you do not take it, I fear lest you should not obtain the prize. It is absolutely true that you cannot get past a body that is out of alignment, out of balance and not a receptacle for the Divine Light of Alpha and Omega. Change must come!
You have worked very, very hard in mantras and in service and in giving of self, yet you retain conditions of consciousness that work against you, that are antithetical to the living Christ in you. Know this, beloved. Know it well.
To transcend yourself, you must truly understand the law of self-transcendence, you must truly come into the awareness that foods that contain the proper balance of light are needed to maintain the light in every cell.
Look at the evolution of the planet from density unto the present, from those who had not the fire to those who now do. Fire is the heat, the purifier and that which breaks down and releases the life of the food when properly cooked.
Seek fire, beloved! For you shall soon become fire in the allness of its manifestation. One day you shall look in the mirror and see your aura as a flaming flame that will not be quenched, as though you were an angel of God, the flames of God easily passing through you and every cell dancing the dance of Shiva!
I AM in that heart of Light that is in you. And I myself have walked this earth in ignorance even of the laws that my Beloved has given to you. Know this, then: many spiritual seekers are not receiving the prize of that which they could contain in their bodies simply because their diets are not what they need to be.
Seek, then, adeptship. It is one thing to have devotion, and a great thing, beloved! Devotion is God in you in manifestation. When you have that devotion, do not stop. Become the devotee that is adept by the admixture of wisdom, wise dominion of self, with devotion.
This is an age of the great circle of being and the circle of Life. There is no need to attain God consciousness by one path alone. Master the Path and the foundation. Give it to your children. They learn so easily and with such facility, for they know no limitation. Then take the next and the next! Take all the roads until your aura becomes a rainbow and may identify with any devotee on the Path, whatever the source and goal of his worship.
I AM, above all, midst my children. And I ask you - as you love my heart, as you know I love yours - to make the same call that the Lord Krishna asked of you.1 In this case, I ask you to make the call for the binding of the dweller-on-the-threshold and the false consciousness of all those who misperceive us and this Community and all the true communities of Light in the world. Let there be a clearing of the minds of those who are so prejudiced against another way that is different from theirs. [Let there be a] clearing of the misstatements regarding communities - in the press and elsewhere.
For you are one with these devotees in other churches at inner levels. But in the outer, beloved, their progress is truly stopped, for the Law decrees it. For when they heap their judgments upon you in false accusation and in the misqualification of the Light of God, their karma returns unto them, the very same [that they have meted out], and they are bound by their own momentums of judgment. And therefore, by the very presence of the Lightbearers in the earth, they do fail their tests.
I know that it is not your desire to be a stone of stumbling for those who are the devotees of Mary in world Catholicism, and yet you are that very stone of stumbling. You are that very stone that does move against them, [not by your willing but by the impersonal Law,] and that does cause them to fail their tests. Just when they think they move forward into the heart of the Blessed Virgin, so they must go back; for they have denied the Christ in one of the least of these my brethren.
Thus, it is necessary for the testings of the Divine Mother to be delivered through anyone anywhere and everywhere. You are also tested, beloved. See to it, as you expand the circle of your being and your aura increases by the sacred fire breath and the raised-up Mother Flame, that you become sensitive to others, that you see through their densities and the outer layers of the world and recognize a Lightbearer when you see one.
Do not judge after the old judgments of how they dress or how they speak or how they are educated. All of this is outer trapping. Look to the soul, beloved. And before you decide that someone is not worth the effort of your preaching, remember first that Jesus descended into hell to preach to the fallen ones and called you to do the same this Thanksgiving past. And you shall do it, for you are his disciples.
But also remember, beloved, before you do make a judgment about any lifestream [if you must], that unless that one is tied to a great Guru and knows how to make the call, that one is most likely in the certain grip of the dweller-on-the-threshold, depending on his own human negative momentums.
Therefore pray, pray, pray without ceasing for the binding of the not-self and of illusion and of that dweller that you might behold what is the precious jewel and the flower of God that has been brought to you. Yet do not be deceived nor mocked by the fallen ones who pretend to be chelas.
Children of God, open your eyes! Open your eyes, I say, and pray, above all, to the Holy Spirit for discernment of spirits and Christ-discrimination. For many of you are yet much too sympathetic and are drawn in again and again by the schemes of those who enter your midst only to use communities to their own ends and their own financial gain.
Be not moved, beloved! Take counsel with God in your heart! And lift yourself up to that holy mountain where the vision of heaven is clear and you can walk down from that mountain with a clear mind and heart and know the way in which you should go.
If you have been assailed by indecision, self-pity and self-justification and a syrupy sympathy in this life and others, I say, recognize it as a yin condition in the body and the mind, the mental body and the astral body being also toxic. Recognize it as a condition where you have not had the fierceness of Durga to raise up that sacred fire and therefore be a pillar of oneness where you are!
Yes, beloved, some things must change! And I have brought those to your attention that I believe are most worthy of your consideration. You have the power of God delivered at this conference by hierarchs of Light to defeat the most serious labor that has come upon this earth in recent times.2 Therefore, do you not also have the power of God to defeat those things which attempt to enclose this Community, to build a wall of hatred around it without any doors?
Yes, beloved, let the walls come tumbling down! And let the heat and the pressure of your love in the Lord Krishna be so intense as to melt the hardness of heart of all those who call themselves enemies and yet who one day themselves might be those who embrace Lord Krishna.
I say, bind the force of the anti-Krishna within them and see what flower comes forth! Then know them by their fruits, by their blossoms and by their fragrance.
I seal you and I seal this conference in the heart of the Divine Mother, for Lord Krishna has already sealed you in the heart of God.
I AM surely with you always. [32-second standing ovation]
This dictation by beloved Lanello was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on New Year's Day, January 1, 1992, during the six-day conference The Rapture of Divine Love held at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. The dictations of Lanello and Lord Krishna are available on 90-min. audiocassette, B92013. [N.B. Throughout this Pearl, bracketed material denotes words unspoken yet implicit in the dictation, added by the Messenger under Lanello's direction for clarity in the written word.]
I am writing to give testimony to the fact that the law of the tithe truly works and that the will of God is always good.
I learned to tithe while a member of my previous church, the Lakeside Temple of Practical Christianity, whose teachings were based on the principles of the Unity Church. And I have been faithfully tithing ever since. While I have always had debts to pay and never a large surplus of funds, I have always been able to meet my obligations and on time.
I know that tithing is key to keeping my financial affairs in order. God is true to his word and will return to the giver at least tenfold that which he has given. I recently had an experience that demonstrated this to me in a most profound way.
It started in 1989, when in response to Saint Germain's request for Keepers of the Flame to move off the coast and to prepare for survival, I moved my family from California to Illinois. It was a challenging time for me financially. There were many expenses from the cost of moving, establishing a new household (we had to move twice before finding our perfect place) and making preparations for survival.
Although I felt that it was God's will for me to be in Illinois, there was a part of me that wanted to make arrangements to purchase a survival shelter for my family at Glastonbury, near the Royal Teton Ranch. Although I did not see how I could financially undertake this, I kept petitioning the Masters to provide the funds if that was where I was supposed to be.
One night while attending a service at the Chicago Teaching Center, I received a strong prompting that I should take $1,000 out of my savings account and give it as a love offering to the Church, over and above my tithe. I was somewhat taken aback, as my savings account was very limited and there were many bills that I had been intending to pay with this money.
I whispered a prayer to El Morya as to what I should do and the response that immediately came back was: "Cast thy bread upon the waters, for thou shalt find it after many days." In the peace that came with this reply, I wrote out a check for that amount, thinking that this could be the means to secure our survival shelter near the ranch. If the $1,000 were multiplied by ten, then I would have the required amount and I looked forward to seeing a return in the near future.
However, as I am learning, when you submit anything to the will of God, what you often expect may not be what God intends. It soon became apparent that additional funds were simply not going to come to me in time to purchase the survival shelter. So I proceeded to focus my attention on the situation immediately at hand - mastering a new job, helping my family adjust to new schools and a new environment, giving the Masters as many decrees as time and strength would permit, and preparing for survival in Illinois.
Time flew by and occasionally I would think about my "investment" and wonder whether I had perhaps misunderstood the message that I had received that night at the Teaching Center. But I decided that even if I had misunderstood and there should never be a return, I would be grateful for the opportunity to have been able to give, at least once in my life, something over and above my tithe.
Late in 1990 and at a point when I had essentially forgotten about all of this, my employer called me into his office to tell me that he had enrolled me in the company's bonus program. He informed me that I could expect to receive a special bonus early the next year, the amount of which would depend on my meeting my job requirements and on how well the company did financially. Needless to say, I was delighted to hear such good news, but it was not at all clear just how much this bonus would be.
In January 1991, my employer again called me into his office and presented me with a bonus check for over $8,000 - after taxes. Within two more weeks, he again presented me with another bonus check for over $2,000 - after taxes. He informed me that the company had done so well in 1990 that the president decided to share the extra profits with an additional special bonus check.
When I received the second check, I immediately realized that the two checks totaled well over $10,000 - after taxes. Not only had God returned my $1,000 more than tenfold but he had also paid my taxes!
As I gave praise and thanksgiving for this very concrete manifestation of how the law of the tithe works, it also became apparent why I had not received this money earlier as I had expected. I realized that if I had been given this amount in 1989, I would have used it to secure a place near the ranch, and that was simply not what God wanted me to do. In the two years since my family and I have been in Illinois, I have come to understand that this is truly the place for me, that there are souls of Light here for me to find and assist and that there is a cosmic service here for me to perform.
It was so gratifying to understand that heaven's seeming lack of response was just God's way of keeping me in my rightful place. Thank you, El Morya, for this wonderful lesson in the goodness of God's will!
The very first thing I did with my bonus was to write out my tithe check, knowing that this would lock me into another blessed cycle of tithing. I am happily looking forward to see how God will fulfill his part of the bargain.
I give thanks to God for you, Mother, and all of the Masters for your love, devotion and patient instruction. What a joy it is to be on this path!
Protection from Archangel Michael on the Freeway
I would like to witness to the great protection and assistance Archangel Michael extends to us when we invoke him by name. I often think of that day last June when I nearly lost my life, but by the intervention of Archangel Michael I escaped a tragic accident.
I was returning home from a visit with my family in Edmonton, Canada. I was on a busy stretch of freeway, four lanes wide in each direction. I was keeping up with the rest of the traffic, which was moving at quite a fast pace. It was a beautiful sunny day and I was looking forward to my return home and to attending the Freedom conference.
My son-in-law had mapped out a route that I could follow to bypass the city of Calgary and save time. I reached for the map beside me to glance at it quickly, and as I did so the map fell to the floor. I reached for it, bending down to retrieve it. By the time I looked at the road, I was heading for the ditch.
I quickly rectified the steering but to my amazement the car then headed in the opposite direction across the freeway. I was so surprised at how little control I had over the car. I had been driving for over forty years and considered myself a good driver, so I could not understand what continued to happen to me.
As I straightened the wheel again, I went across to the other side of the four-lane highway. The car continued to behave in this manner, going back and forth and getting more and more out of control. I felt completely helpless! I could not decrease the speed, even though I was tapping the brakes intermittently (as when driving on ice). At one point I felt the car rocking, leaning first on its two right wheels and then on its two left wheels. So not only was the car going back and forth across the freeway but it was rocking!
Thanks to our wonderful teachings, I knew exactly what to do. I shouted with all of my might: "Archangel Michael, help me! Archangel Michael, help me! Help me! Help me!" I put everything I had into that call and I remember being aware that the veins in my temples were standing out. As soon as I made the call everything changed. The car immediately came under my control, the speed reduced very quickly and I was shortly able to stop the car on the shoulder of the freeway without going into the ditch.
I realize how fortunate I was that I did not hit any cars when I was being thrown from one side of the freeway to the other. Now that I was parked on the shoulder of the road, I noticed that motorists passing by were looking at me very strangely. So I got out of the car to check for any problems with the car, particularly the tires. When I found no problems, I concluded that those looks, no doubt, were looks of concern as to my health or sobriety! People on the freeway must have observed my car swerving back and forth across the road in front of them. I got back into the car and took a few moments to thank Archangel Michael with all of my heart and promised him I would never do such a foolish thing again as to reach for something on the floor while driving.
While I still have the "witness stand" I would like to say how very precious the Teachings of the Ascended Masters are to me. I had been searching for many years before I found these teachings. I studied with many fine organizations and did get many answers. Some addressed the Path from an intellectual level, others presented a very devotional path. I grew in my love for God and in the understanding of his laws. However, I continued to search as the years went by, for I knew there was more that I was not getting. The longing in my heart said I had not found "home" yet.
One day I made the call in the form of a strong prayer to a very special Master - Master R (with whom I had become familiar and learned to love dearly through one of the organizations I had belonged to). I told him that I knew there was a higher path out there for me and I wanted to find it. Shortly after, I found these teachings and now my search has ended, for I know these are the highest teachings available.
What a privilege it is to receive the dictations of the Ascended Masters, who infuse their teachings with Light and nourishment not only for the mind but also for the heart and the soul. Listening to one of their discourses is truly a many-dimensioned spiritual experience in itself! We most surely are nourished with the bread of Life here in this Church.
And, Mother, I wish to express my gratitude to you for being there as our Messenger and teacher. If you had not passed your own tests and trials in the face of great opposition and accomplished what was required of you to qualify as a Messenger for the Great White Brotherhood, we would not be the recipients of these great teachings.
Thank you for your great courage and that wonderful smile that does not fade in spite of the many ordeals and challenges that come your way. I surely am delighted to be on board this ship and I for one will follow you and this path to the very end.
Lord Michael before! Lord Michael behind!
Lord Michael to the right! Lord Michael to the left!
Lord Michael above! Lord Michael below!
Lord Michael, Lord Michael wherever I go!
I AM his Love protecting here!
I AM his Love protecting here!
I AM his Love protecting here!
At the 1990 summer conference, I was staying in a motel in Gardiner. One day I failed to arise with the morning angels and overslept. I arose barely in time for the morning lecture.
I was doing my decrees as I rushed to dress. Suddenly, something/someone spoke to my heart: "Go to Livingston." "No way," I thought, "it's over fifty miles." All the while, I was still decreeing and thinking, "You're losing it." In a minute or two it flashed again: "Go to Livingston." This time it was so strong, I stopped my activities and prayed to my Holy Christ Self to show me God's will. No response, so I said, "God's will be done," and went out the door.
As I approached The Ranch Kitchen I slowed, preparing to turn into the conference site. Suddenly my foot hit the brake and I pulled off the road in front of the campground. There stood a young man holding a sign - "Livingston." I told him to get in, I was going to Livingston. I had a tape of a lecture by Mother playing and I said I hoped he didn't mind if I finished it.
After the tape was over, we introduced ourselves and I asked if he was familiar with the Teachings. He answered that he had been made aware of them by two ladies at the campground who had witnessed to him.
He had just left a Hare Krishna commune and was enroute to his home in Canada with a stopover at Yellowstone. I told him of my experience in the motel room and he was elated.
He said the two ladies at the campground had said they would decree for him to find a ride. So he had taken his sign and stood on the road - and I stopped. We both fell silent in awe at how God takes care of us.
I dropped the young man at the bus station. He said he would be returning to Montana after he visited his folks. I missed the morning lecture but learned a valuable lesson in obedience.
Another of God's children was rescued because of two ladies who decreed, the power of the Word through Mother, and a senior citizen who obeyed God. There is nothing else that satisfies the soul but the Ascended Masters' Teachings!
Saint Germain's Unfailing Alchemy
My husband (a good man but not in the Teachings) and I moved to Arkansas in 1982 to secure an economical retirement and survival home. I wanted to move to Montana but my husband chose Arkansas.
Due to family responsibilities, we are moving back to Hawaii for two years. Again, I wanted to move to Montana but I couldn't without evading my responsibilities. Needless to say, I began my chore of packing in low spirits.
As I was sorting through tapes and videos trying to decide which to take, I discovered a video from 1986, "Saint Germain On Alchemy, Part 2." I put it in the VCR and continued packing. It sure made the chore easier. Mother is right when she says, "Sometimes we have to prime the pump."
I soon felt compelled to stop and listen to the dictation. It was given May 28, 1986 - exactly five years earlier, to the day. Saint Germain told of the 144,000 priests of the Order of Melchizedek forming the Maltese cross of violet fire over Portland, Oregon, for the transmuting of Lemurian karma. He said:
Blessed ones, the event which brings me to this city is both ancient and recent. The ancient event, as recorded here in akasha, is a misuse of the Light - in some cases by those who have reincarnated here and tarry for the opportunity to balance that karma, and in some cases by those who are not recalled to the scene of this misuse. ...
A procession of priests of the sacred fire have marched from [Lord Zadkiel's] retreat to this area, forming by their bodies of Light a Maltese cross. ... They come from ancient temples prior to the desecration thereof on lost continents. ...
They have come, then, to give protection and an immense fire of transmutation that that return of karma might be mitigated or entirely consumed. This consuming and transmutation must take place in the physical through the intercession of yourselves and your heart flames receiving the violet flame, calling it forth, and welcoming a cooperative endeavor of these 144,000 priests of the Order of Melchizedek. ...
The tape finished and I arose to turn it off. Much to my surprise, there was a short clip on the Royal Teton Ranch. I stood speechless, remembering the people and recognizing some of the places. Truly a promised land! I wondered again if I would ever get to live there.
Imagine my surprise when I viewed myself sitting by a tent with a stream flowing by, reading a book. It looked like me at the first conference I had attended in the Heart of the Inner Retreat. I grabbed the control, rewound the tape, scarcely believing my eyes. I ran the tape again and, sure enough, it was me! I had no idea I had been photographed. The book I was reading was - Are you ready for this? - Saint Germain's book on alchemy!
It's wonderful how the Teachings mesh together - but wait, there's more. This happened on May 28. On June 3, 1991, I received the info packets for the '91 summer conference. I read Mother's letter first. I almost went into orbit when she referred to Saint Germain's dictation of 1986, which I had listened to just days earlier.
Mother reminded us of what Saint Germain had said - that the mission of the 144,000 priests was to give protection and an immense fire of transmutation that the Lemurian karma incurred through desecration of ancient temples might be mitigated or entirely consumed.
"That's it," I thought - "that's why I'm going back."
So off I go to Hawaii, where I made my Lemurian karma many lifetimes ago. With the new dispensation from Omri-Tas of the violet flame sea, I know this time I'll get the job done right.
Even though I shall be enroute and shall miss this year's conference, I know my etheric body is there by the stream. So I go gladly to work out my karma and rid myself of excess baggage so I can come to Montana, debt-free, a chela to help lighten the load and not add to it.
It was in Altadena, California, where I started working in 1977. The building had been renovated and was a lovely place to work in. But my window faced the building next door and on the roof of that building lived ten to fifteen big black crows. They cawed constantly.
I determined to call on the Ascended Masters to get rid of them. So I stood at the window and called to Archangel Michael to protect us from these noisy, obnoxious birds. I gave the decree to Archangel Michael twenty times, but they just flew faster and cawed louder. Then I did Reverse the Tides. They flew off and came back.
I knew Lanello had mastery over the elements. He could even hold back a snowstorm. I would sing his ascension song! So I stood at the window and sang to the melody of "Greensleeves":
What blazing Light on yonder heights / What glory our eyes beholding!
What heav'nly bliss, enthralling sight / Within our hearts now infolding!
Behold, the Son of Heaven stands / Now holding wide the portal!
Behold, the everlasting Light / Streams forth to raise each mortal!
Alleluia, he is risen! / Sing, ye angels, of Heaven's Son
Alleluia, he is risen! / Is risen, Love's victory won.
And like a gossamer veil atremble / With the thunder of the sun
O beauteous doorway of forever / Swing wide for ev'ryone!
What wondrous music heard on high / What songs the angels singing
What great rejoicing time is nigh / What glorious bells I hear ringing!
Alleluia, he is risen! / Sing, ye angels, of Heaven's Son
Alleluia, he is risen! / Is risen, Love's victory won.
Our own beloved Lanello / Thy footprints guiding us ever
And now at last the torch is passed - / We pledge our love forever!
Alleluia, he is risen! / Sing, ye angels, of Heaven's Son
Alleluia, he is risen!
Is risen, Love's victory won. / Is risen, Love's victory won.
While I was singing, two doves flew in and perched on the telephone wires behind the building next door and, wonder of wonders, the crows began to leave! There were four left, then three, then two, then one, then none.
During all the three years I worked there, the crows never returned. Every morning I looked out and the two doves were always perched on the wires beside us keeping guard.
