Prepare for the Life Everlasting
"I Pledge to Fight World Terrorism and to Stop War at Every Level"
Ho, angels of the Sun! I AM descended into your midst.
And I come with Hope and I come with angels of glory.
And I come to forestall world chaos and world anarchy.
Therefore, as I speak to you, so I plant my rod in the earth and I send angels of God, fully armoured in the armour of Justinius of the seraphic hosts. I send angels to the levels of the astral plane, to levels of minds insane, distorted, disjointed, minds incapable of holding to the honor flame of God - the very flame of honor, order and sanity, beloved.
The defilement of the Mind of God by anyone has to do with that one's relinquishment of his point of contact with the Divine, who is the Atman, truly the inner one who is God. The Atman abides in that sacred place within your heart that is called the secret chamber of the heart. That place is the point of balance where the Threefold Flame of the Trinity abides.
Do not lose that balance! Do not compromise the Power, Wisdom and Love of the Godhead focused in that flame. Do not allow your Threefold Flame to be extinguished in a moment's anger, for one day the price you will pay for this sacrilege may be the ultimate price - the loss of your soul.
O beloved hearts, the effects of karma move in the earth. And the sign of the explosion at the World Trade Center in New York this day1 is one of chaos and anarchy. It is the sign of an insanity generated by the angry ones whose anger rumbles at sublevels of the basements of the underworld, where the levels of Death and Hell pile one upon the other.
Therefore I speak to sons and daughters of God, you who have been sanctified by the one whom God has sanctified: One and all, ye have known - whether in this two thousand years or ten, twenty or thirty thousand years ago - the touch, the eye, the glance of your living Saviour, Jesus Christ. You have known that contact and by that contact some of you have been sanctified, though not all.2
Some of you - and I speak to a world and a planet and not only to those gathered here in the manger of this hotel - some of you have brushed glances with that one, the Lord and Saviour, yet you have walked on. Whether in ignorance or pride or for whatever reason, beloved, you have not locked hearts with the Sacred Heart of Jesus when you have had the opportunity to do so.
I came to announce to Mary the birth by the Holy Spirit, through Saint Joseph, of that living Manchild.3 Thus I come to you also, for as I am the herald of his coming, along with others of the Archangels who are his heralds, so I come to herald the day of Christ's appearing in you!
If, therefore, ye would elevate that reality of your Christ Self, I say bend the knee in profound humility and early seek the reconstruction of your soul's association with him. Yes, reconstruct the very foundations of your being and this time build solidly upon the Rock of Christ, for now is the hour and the day of the harvest of many thousands of years of earth's karma.
I say to you: Seek early the consolation of your soul and your heart by violet flame's saturation. Know whereof I speak, for we the Archangels have spoken through the prophets and the avatars of all past ages, including ages that are unrecorded in your annals. We have spoken of past and present and future. Today, instead of sounding warnings of dire prophecies to come, I would rather speak to you of your preparations for the Life everlasting.
I speak to you, then, and I say: Seek early, seek early the violet flame. Offer your devotions and decrees to God in the peace and quietude of the early morning hours. See to it that on a daily basis you do not let the dust of personal or planetary karma rest upon you.
Clean up that karma day by day. Set your house in order. Use the violet flame to make the chambers of mind and memory tidy and neat, fit at any moment for the guest that may knock at your door, one of the Archangels or an angel who may be our messenger going before us. Be ready at any hour for our coming. And does not the Lord also come, as a thief in the night,4 when you least expect him?
Let the heart be opened! Celebrate, if you will, the Twin Hearts - the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Carry the rituals of these devotions in your heart, as these have been enshrined at the altar of this Church Universal and Triumphant.
Know, then, beloved, that it is an hour to build the strength of the everlasting Life of God within your being. For I ask you this question: Stripped of all else, what shall you be when the soul passes from this body temporal to the house of eternal Life? What shall you take with you from this life to the next?
You will take the flame that you have increased, by God's grace, upon the altar of your heart. You will take the momentums of good and evil that you have sown. You will take, I trust, a soul clothed in her wedding garment, ready for the marriage to the Bridegroom, who is truly the Holy Christ Self.
What else will you take with you?
Nothing, beloved, nothing that you have stored of this world's goods but only your conscience and an honorable heart and perhaps the lily of Archangel Gabriel and Hope that you might lay on the altar of God when we usher you into the great throne room. Yes, I pray that many of you shall achieve high levels of your soul's integration with God at the conclusion of this life.
Be not afraid! Be not afraid! Be not afraid, for I AM come with the annunciation to you this day of your opportunity for eternal Life. May you know that eternal Life flows through you over the crystal cord in this moment and daily and hourly. And the beating of your heart, one with God's heart, is the very sign and signet that he has placed within you the fire of the Holy Spirit, the sacred breath and the inner knowing whereby you know that although you may not be ready in this precise moment to face your God and your Christ, yet you can be made ready in this life for your ultimate union with the Lord and his Christ.
There is no one here or on earth who does not yet have time to ready himself, to make things right, to denounce hell and the anger of hell and the fires of hell and to put out once and for all the red flames of pride and anger and arrogance that leap out of unconscious realms of the mind. I say to you, quell them! Quell them and seal them. And give them no more voice, no more entrée into your being. Carefully think through the decisions you make, the turns in the road, and do not deny the voice of your Inner Christ, but prefer it over the voices of the night.
I, Gabriel, tell you, with love, with solemnity and out of concern for the vision of the future that is before me: Set all things right, beloved! Set all things right. Tidy your house and household, and free yourself of all unnecessary encumbrances so that you might serve to set life free.
How many people do I see this day? Yes, millions, millions upon millions who lie suffering on beds of pain with no medications to dull the pain of their returning karma - those who have terminal diseases, those who are victims of incompetency in science, in medicine or of their own ignorance.
Yes, beloved, now they turn to God. Now they desire to serve. Now they desire to atone. But they are weak in spirit and weak in body. Shall they pass on without having known the blessing of giving service to life?
Some, beloved, following the example of their parents and associates, have played their games and piped their tunes and gone their merry way, multiplying money and things - and always the gay parties and the lewd laughter that has truly no foundation in reality. Therefore people live on the tip of their delusions and illusions. And they allow themselves to be the victims of an astrology (and the karma it foretells) that, if they would, they could conquer by the Light of the Sun!
For I AM Gabriel of the Sun! I step forth out of the Sun that is the Great Central Sun and, yes, even out of the Sun of your I AM Presence; for every Archangel is one with your Mighty I AM Presence. I step out of your Sun and I face you. I speak to you heart to heart, as friend to friend. I have no condemnation of anyone for anything, beloved, for sin itself is its own condemnation.
Therefore I come with hope - hope that is sharper than the two-edged sword.5 For if you would have Christ in you be the hope of glory6 and be in his glory this night, then my blessed Hope must come with her sword and separate you from un-reality - the unreality of wishful thinking, dillydallying in the doldrums, allowing the days and years to pass without marking your spiritual progress or lack of it.
And yet, what have you in your hand?
Is it the sign of the conquering one?
I bid you understand the crucible of time and space. I bid you understand opportunity. I tell you that the laws of God have not changed. If the mores and standards and laws in the earth have changed, they have changed through the relativity of the two-eyed vision of those who are content to live in the spheres of mortality, frightened to enter the realms of immortality, for the Light is too bright there.
I tell you, it is not too bright for thee! But if you would become accustomed to that Light, take a little each day - even the little Communion cup of Light that is the essence of Christ's Blood. Drink ye all of it!7 Then place your feet in the footprints of his sandals, footprints he has left in the sands of time that will yet lead you to the image of Christ in which you were made.
You are made in the image and likeness of God!
And who is that image and likeness?
It is the image of Christ stamped upon your soul.
Out of that image you were made:
Unto that image conform yourself once again.
And do not be concerned with the opinions of the world, for the world and all its worldliness, even the very body you wear, will pass away.
Why are there millions of tomes on the shelves of the libraries - histories of men and women who have lived before? It is because they were all mortal! They can no longer tell their stories.
Well, I bid you, tell your story today.
Tell it in delivering the mighty Word of God!
Tell it in being tender, in consoling others and in knowing the pure love of God.
Do not allow any encrustations of hardness of heart to remain in you. I tell you, beloved, it is a dread disease, this hardness of heart that turns hearts to stone and ultimately is the cause of the snuffing out of the flame of life in so many. At its root, heart disease is always hardness of heart. And the heart of flesh will harden as you continue to eat foods that are not fit for those on the spiritual path.
Therefore I say, become tender, tender toward every part of life, and know how with that tenderness, your voice being the instrument of your Holy Christ Self, you will break down the hardness and the veneer of those who consider themselves rough and tough - even the criminal element who, because they are out of touch with the tender heart of Jesus, can commit any form of violent crime with total insensitivity.
Whence cometh this insensitivity?
I AM an Archangel and I weep for those in the earth who have no more heart. For none did nurture the heart, neither father nor mother, and generations and generations have gone by and encrustation upon encrustation until the heart has no mercy for life: it is neither good nor evil, it simply is not alive in God.
Is it not insensate, then? Do not the mother and the father who abort the child have to turn off the heart, turn off the tenderness, turn off their maternal and paternal instincts toward that part of life that is theirs? I tell you, in order to carry on a worldly existence, they must. But a worldly existence without God always ends in nothingness.
Celebrate it each day at dawn!
Do not postpone it unto the morrow.
Increase the sacred fire breath.
Increase the fire flowing within you.
Know the service of the cross.
And when you come to the crossroads of life where you choose either to accelerate and go up the mountain with the Lord Christ or to go the way of the world, stop! be silent! be still in your heart and consider:
What would you be ten, fifty, seventy years hence?
A billionaire of great success? Or an Ascended Master in the kingdom of God, who may now give his all to tending the sheep of the far-flung pastures of the Lord?
Think carefully, beloved. Think carefully. For there does come a time on the Path when the choice will be either the world or the ascent. And that ascent of Calvary and beyond leads to total soul liberation, union with God and ultimate freedom to serve millions of souls waiting for their shepherd - and to set them free.
Do not take the Light you have garnered through the pain of initiation and squander it in the hour of greatest difficulty. Do not walk away from the Light in that hour of choice - the choice to be the Christ, with all the persecution that that Christhood entails, or the choice to walk the other way and become a hero in the world.
Blessed hearts, some of you have forgot the very first teachings that you learned on the path of Christhood in other lifetimes in other centuries. Do not be blinded by your untoward desires. You are in my presence. I remove the blindfold of your unseeing. You have assented to my coming, therefore I have summoned my legions to bind your not-self, which blinds you. They are in full armour. They are ready to descend to the levels of dishonor and even insanity to bind the demons that lurk in your unconscious mind.
Will you turn them away or will you welcome them and say to them in this hour:
Come unto me, O my friends, O my angels, O legions of Gabriel and Hope! Come unto me in this hour! Deliver me of that state of consciousness that is even despicable to me and yet, for my pride, I am unable to kick it out, I am unable to exorcise it.
Therefore enter, angels of Gabriel! Enter my temple now and take from me all of this useless baggage, that I might return to the heart of my own inner child8 in response to the pleading of my soul that I should go the way of my Lord no matter what the price.9
So my angels come to you. Wrestle10 with them if you will. Wrestle and see - shall it be you or shall it be the angels who shall win this match?
Wrestle against the angels of Gabriel. You may enjoy it for a time, but then what, beloved? What will you do when there is no longer an angel to wrestle with because you have expressed your free will in denying your God and the angels respect that will and retreat and you are once again alone?
What is that loneliness that you feel?
What is that apartness that separates you from Gabriel's angels?
What is the meaning of your going away from the bands of angels with whom you once served? Who did turn you away from your hierarchs of Light, blessed ones? Yourselves or another?
Some of you have served directly under us and yet lost your station, for you were turned this way and that by the lurings of the lower angels in these lower octaves. And your moorings in the Godhead were not strong enough to hold you against their insidious pressures.
How many rounds of punishment will you inflict upon yourself until you know:
I will not beat my head against this rock of human pride any longer. I will, rather than keep my pride, cast myself upon the Rock of Christ and let my pride be broken11 so that my inner child might emerge in all holy innocence and that my inner child might at last be nurtured by my loving heart, made loving by my Saviour, Jesus Christ.
In the name of my beloved Mighty I AM Presence:
I will liberate my soul from this naughty human ego!
Yes, I will let nothing stand in my way, for I see through the eyes of Archangel Gabriel this night as he does give me to see.
I see those things that could easily come upon the earth. For who can control terrorism? Who can control the misuse of deadly weapons by insane persons who long ago committed themselves to Darkness and yet are in control of the weapons of many nations? Earth is a powder keg and earth is diseased. And the diseases are everywhere, waiting to infest the bodies of the servants of God.
Yes, I will let nothing stand in my way, for I see through the eyes of Archangel Gabriel this night as he does give me to see.
I AM Gabriel, which stand in the presence of God!12
I come forth from God and I speak to his own.
I speak to you. And standing beside me at this altar, erected in this city, is the Keeper of the Scrolls, who has assigned an angel of record to stand at your side. This angel will remain with you for at least twenty-four hours, until he is convinced that you have absorbed at certain levels of your being an understanding of the records of your past - what you have done, what you have not done, the good works that have allowed earth to prosper and the not-so-good works that have put a brake on the divine plan of future civilizations.
May you weigh and consider all matters he places before you. Take counsel with your Inner Self, that blessed Christ Presence. Take counsel with the angels of God and the World Teachers. Kneel before the Lord Christ and decide what you shall do with that precious life that you hold in your hands, that you hold in your heart.
How will you spend the years and moments that make up a lifetime?
Open your eyes to suffering! Consider whose suffering you may alleviate and what method is the most expedient - whether it be through the offerings of medical science or the alternatives of the healing arts or the simplicity of personal prayer and ministration.
I AM Gabriel. I need not paint for you all the things that are taking place on the earth. I simply say to you: Let the piercing light of the Sun remove the glaze from your eyes so that you might see the earth and her diverse evolutions and all that is happening today with clear and accurate Christ-centered vision. Do not deny what could be coming on the earth or how tenuous life is, how tenuous the economy is and how tenuous are the people themselves. Yes, beloved, it is a fragile planet, a fragile ecosystem and fragile bodies that you wear.
Therefore, make the most of life, for life somehow slips through the fingers of many. It has slipped through yours in past lives. But this life, this life can be more special than any other. For Saint Germain has brought hope - hope through the violet flame, hope through freedom in this nation, intended to be an example of freedom to all other nations, hope in the very gift of free will itself, hope in the technology that enables you to accomplish so much in so little time. Yes, hope, beloved.
You enjoy a hope today that some of you have not known for tens of thousands of years. For you have freed yourselves by the violet flame and by diligent service to life; and in so doing you have freed yourselves from the drudgery of having to pay off that karma pound by pound, farthing by farthing, inch by inch.
Yes, you have been a slave to your own karma. And thanks to Saint Germain and Jesus Christ and others of the Ascended Masters who have stood for you and pleaded your cause before the courts of heaven, you are still free to make right decisions and wrong decisions. You are still free to go straight to the mark of the prize of the high calling in your own individual Christhood13 or to throw it all away because of the pride of the eye and - let's face it, the word is ambition - ambition other than the desire to know and be God in action.
I say, in this seminar continue to call to the Archangels so that we might expose terrorism and its possibilities for wreaking havoc in this nation. In the past your decrees have kept it out, but it has ventured forth again. Therefore make the calls to me and my angels to expose international terrorists before the bomb explodes.
For there are many in this world who consider themselves to be the have-nots, who are angry against America and all that she stands for. They will not hesitate to commit acts of terrorism if they believe that they have nothing to lose and that they must fight for their cause because their cause is not being championed by the Establishment.
Let us get on with our concerns, then, and take decisive action on behalf of those who are the oppressed everywhere. Let us give them hope and a reason not to be depressed, not to resort to terrorism or, God forbid, the use of nuclear weapons to settle the seeming injustices of life.
Beware, then, these groups all over the world, beloved. For many of their members are insane and they have nothing to lose, for they have long ago allowed their flames to be snuffed out and lost their souls. Pity them. But pray also that, inasmuch as they are empty houses,14 the howling discarnates who occupy them shall not give force to a race of insane and dispossessed and disenfranchised persons.
Blessed hearts, let us give the cup of cold water in Christ's name and break the Communion loaf. And remember that a piece of that loaf, that very Christhood, that Presence, is yet in you.
Guard it. Multiply it that you might also break the bread of Life with those who have none, whose bodies are hungry, whose spirits are angry, whose souls are starving, as they have resentment against a God whom they believe has betrayed them. Yet long ago, even they betrayed themselves and their God, and that karma does come full circle today.
In the name of the living God, I, Gabriel, with Hope and legions of Light, pledge to you once again to fight worldwide terrorism and to stop war at every level!
Give us the fiats! Give us the call! Give us your heart's desire to hold the line and hold it again against the Darkness that could cover the land. Give us the violet flame decrees. We will show you what millions of angels together with such as you, our best reinforcements on earth, can do to yet save this old world for a golden age of Aquarius.
I AM Gabriel and Hope. With our angels, we bow before the Light of God within you and we stand ready to answer your call at any hour of the day or night.
Do not forget to make the call!
This dictation by Archangel Gabriel and Hope with the Keeper of the Scrolls and Angels of Purity and Hope attending was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Friday, February 26, 1993, during a weekend seminar, How to Contact Angels - Your Guides, Guardians and Friends Part 2, held at the Skokie North Shore Hilton, Chicago, Illinois. The dictation followed the Messenger's lecture "How Angels Help You to Recapture the Spirit of Joy." [N.B. This dictation was edited for print by the Messenger under the direction of Archangel Gabriel and Hope.]

My Twelve Years of Experience on the Path
It has been twelve years since I went to Summit University in the spring of 1981. They are twelve years of experiences that I would not trade for anything. I would not even trade those experiences that were painful or stressful, for they have provided a crucible for change and growth. I wanted to give you more this birthday than a simple greeting. I wanted to give you a distillation of these twelve years and my commitment on the Path.
Before coming to Summit University I had been involved in a psychic group for several years. The group was led by a woman who was a medium. I remember encountering her in front of a store one day. I said hello and then was struck with the realization that there had been no heart response in the woman or in me. I thought it odd at the time and wondered why. What a contrast it provided to the first time I saw you!
It was during the first week or so of Summit University. You had invited the congregation sitting in the overflow areas to come into the chapel and pass by the altar. I looked at you shyly as I walked past. Upon that contact of my eyes with yours, something arced from my heart and I felt the return current from your heart. I walked out of the chapel as one walking on air and in great joy. I knew then that everything was worth that one moment. Every painful experience of the past, every penny spent for SU was worth coming home to your heart, to God's heart.
I have grown over these twelve years through the grace of the Teachings and the fire of your heart and Morya's. Before I came to SU I was self-conscious to the point of stuttering and having difficulty talk-ing to people one-on-one. Even my walk was hesitant. Emotionally, I was dependent on my friends and not very even-keeled. I was disorganized and not effective at getting things done.
Well, I wouldn't say that God is finished with me yet! It is still difficult for me to get up in front of large groups to speak, but small groups no longer frighten me. I don't stutter much anymore except on d's occasionally. I'm able to take actions independently of my friends and without their emotional support. I am much more harmonious and I have become a more effective worker, although I have further to go in this respect as well. The improvements are a testimony to this path. They are as much a testimony as the blissful experiences with God that I have been blessed with during these years.
At one point this year I considered taking a leave of absence and going out into the world to pursue refinement in the areas of dress, hair, makeup, speaking in front of people and professional refinement/growth. I felt I could be more useful to God if I were more refined. I could not see myself becoming a minister without that refinement, but I realized someone must remain in defense of this community and your mission. And in staying there is always the refinement through the Refiner's fire!
I love our community and appreciate that it is a community in the growing process, with people and things not necessarily perfect. And I am willing to stick with it and work in a constructive way toward improvements.
I love you and beloved El Morya - truly the light of my life in the office of Guru. His dictation of April 9, 1982, had a profound effect on my soul. El Morya admonished us not to take for granted the Masters in our midst and suggested we review his dictations. I remember well his parting words:
Would to God that you should be as some devotees of the East who in a lifetime may receive a single crumb from our table and with this they make sacrifices unheard of and their progress on the Path is great, without any gift of violet flame or any vision of the ascension. ...
Changes are in order. May you change for the better. I take my leave of you, that in the silence of your own temple you might discover my absence and then perhaps seek me and find me as I truly am.
The candles were put out one by one as El Morya withdrew and I felt as though the light and joy had gone out of my life.
And where would I be without the comfort of the wisdom that comes through you as you give a sermon or lecture or the steadying love in times of trial and chastening? Or even your laughter (as I imagine the laughter of angels to be) uplifting the heart?
I remember when you returned from Washington, D.C., after Saint Germain withdrew his presence there on November 29, 1987. Saint Germain had said:
It is the last time that I shall appear in this nation's capital unless and until those who know better do better - until those who have seen my calling and heard my word respond to it and postpone not the day of our God's appearing. ...
For America has abdicated her role as the nation of Christhood, the eternal Law of God, as the nation wherein The Lord Our Righteousness should raise up a standard, an ensign of the people and a two-edged sword.
I was at the airport when you and the Stump team arrived in Bozeman. There was such a seriousness in your demeanor. My heart sank as I responded to the seriousness of the hour and the state of the world and I thought to myself, "This will be rough going if I don't hear her laughter again."
Some weeks later we were watching a news interview with Gorbachev in what is now El Morya's Room and you were pointing out his crude hands, which he was pounding for emphasis. I looked down at my hands, which were cracked and dry from physical work and the cold. I think many people must have done the same and you sensed our thoughts and laughed a little. You can't imagine how relieved and heartened I was to hear that laugh!
My birthday gift to you is my commitment to the Path, the Community and to you as my Guru and your mission. So as I wish for your dreams to come true this birthday, I pledge to work to help them come true.
