Ho, legions of Light! Now assemble, for the way is cleared and the All-Seeing Eye of God shines brightly, more bright than the moon, more bright than the lights of the earth.
So the Eye of God is cleared. And you, beloved, may enjoy an all-seeing view of the earth and the perspective of planets assembled three-quarters of a year from this hour as they gather as hosts, as judges holding court - seven planets in Capricorn in 1994.0
Thus we the Seven Elohim come in this hour as a counterweight to the positive and negative momentums they deliver, that you might have the foundations established to meet this auspicious conjunction of the planets next January and that you might build upon the foundations that we will lay in this conference.
You have come wisely to this retreat. You have understood: Elohim do not gather for naught. We gather to compensate for the frailties of our own chelas. We come to compensate also, as we hold the scales, for the imbalances of those who have had the Light, who have served the Light and now choose to serve their own egos.
Balance is the key in this year. Thus the All-Seeing Eye of God, the thoughtform for 1993, reveals that Divine Justice must be present in your heart, truly for the weighing of the inner motives and the inclinations of the lower mind against the backdrop of the Higher Mind.
You make choices. Choose wisely and well. For in many instances you will not have the opportunity to remake the choices once they have been made. For they soon become set in concrete.
Thus we choose this evening to focus upon the ride of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.1 May you know that they indeed ride, and you can see them against the backdrop of the full moon in Libra as they move across the sky, sent by Sanat Kumara. For this era of the twelve-year cycle does press on and press and press again!
Read, then, of the great winepress of the wrath2 of God.3 Read, then, of the wrath that does descend out of the bowels, i.e., unconscious planes, of your own being as well as out of Elohim. Read, then, of this pressing in of karma upon a people and upon the chakras of a people. And there are none who are left who may escape this cosmic accounting and accountability.
Though you have been told of the ride of the Four Horsemen, we speak of it again. Since you began to consider their work in the earth, as they are sent by Sanat Kumara to deliver the karma of the nations, have you not also understood a new meaning of Death, a new meaning of Hell erupting here and there out of the mouths of many who are angry?
You have understood that there is a certain conspiracy of Death and Hell in the uncontrolled spread of AIDS and you have determined to confront this global challenge at this conference. So it is well, for many are suffering, burdened by the world karma of diseases that surely come under the designation "the last plagues."
We see the anger of an entire lifewave turning back upon the people themselves. They are outraged that they are being consumed by an angry virus and diseases of their karma, for which they avow no accountability. Thus karma returns and the people's anger is multiplied as they rebel against the return of their own sowings.
Take care, then, beloved, that you are able to disassociate the anger directed against you from the anger that comes from within. Learn to separate the two and to deal with them judiciously and dispassionately. Step aside from these momentums that are now surfacing. Enter in to your Christhood.
This is truly not a time for the indulgence of human whim. The whims of many boil down to a self-pity that appears as sorrow. But the sorrow of millions is that they cannot have their fleshpots and also their God consciousness, that they cannot become Christ and him crucified and give that Christ to a world and yet revel in the sensual pleasures they have indulged in for thousands of years.
Some whose time has come to exercise right choice for the path of Christhood are angry because that time has come. And thereby they stand to lose what they have gained from positive momentums of service offered in this and previous lifetimes. Choices must be made based upon reality. And I know of no greater God-Reality than that which is unveiled by the All-Seeing Eye of God.
The grinding in the earth of the hoofbeats of the Four Horsemen and the grinding of the teeth where the teeth are set on edge are among the signs of perilous times, especially for devotees on the Path. I cannot underscore too sharply that these are times when there is the moment of choosing - day by day. It is impossible to sit on the fence. And in the moment of the acceleration of world karma and the tightening of the coils of personal karma people exercise their choices in desperation, and great mistakes can be made by great miscalculations, both of the cycles of opportunity and of the concluding of the cycles of opportunity.
We could wish for a greater attentiveness on the part of the spiritual people of planet earth. This is the time when the All-Seeing Eye of God, focusing through the lens of the hierarchy of Scorpio, does probe deeply. If you are not ready to let go of the not-self, then I say, beloved ones, you shall know sorrow. You shall know profound sorrow. Therefore, make right choices.
Now see as we look out into the stillness of the night and the days turning and the hours passing around the planet. We understand that the Four Horsemen are galloping through the time zones delivering planetary karma. All upon the planet share in planetary karma and all have personal karma. This, then, is a rare opportunity - even this conference, beloved - for you to enter into spirals of the violet flame, to invoke transmutation and to seek early the cycles of self-transcendence.
Above and beyond all the hours of all the centuries of your many lifetimes, you must reconcile yourself with this hour, beloved, for it is the hour for transcending the lesser self and entering in to a true union with the Christ - the Christ Jesus, who comes in this season with the full outpouring of his precious Blood, even the Light that is the intensity of Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, in this Son of God.
The Sacred Heart is open to you. And within it you also see the sword that pierces the heart and you recognize that your own heart is mirroring that manifestation of your Lord.
If you hesitate and hesitate again and rationalize and rationalize again, I tell you, you will not enter spirals of self-transcendence and therefore you will be ill-equipped to meet the challenge of those Four Horsemen. For when you hear their hoofbeats, beloved, it is too late! You must prepare for the descent of planetary karma and know that it does increase. And this is an hour and a season when there is a cycle of returning karma such as has not been seen in 25,800 years.
Returning karma when received with a good attitude brings out the very best in everyone. Watch how it tests the mettle of the soul and brings to the surface the very worst elements of being, that each one might be initiated and establish his own Real Identity. Thus early on we gave you the advice to pursue the taking apart and the putting together again of the components of the psyche, to study your own psychology and to raise up your soul as you nurture your child within. All these things we have pointed out for good reason.
We have drawn you in this direction so that when you see through your third eye all that is taking place on the earth, you will not be moved. You will not be moved when you see the electronic belt whether of yourself or of another or of the entire population of the planet. Nor will you be moved by the glory of God, the fierceness of the mien of God, the intensity of all powers of Light who gather!
And so the harvest is upon you. Blessed ones, some will go astray seeking a lesser path and miss an opportunity that is here and now for self-transcendence. Know, then, that it is through the Seven Elohim that you achieve the new birth, the new creature in Christ.4
Are we not the Divine Us, who have nurtured your beings?
Aye, indeed. Thus we come again. We come to place you at a new level that you might be able to withstand Darkness so great, Light and Lightness so great. Cherish, then, our coming. Make use of our auras while you are in them.
Know, then, that diseases will continue to multiply in the earth until one by one mankind faces his karma. And where there is no accountability, whether on the part of those who produce food for the nations that they know is not fit for human consumption or on the part of the individual chela on the Path who knows the way of the adepts yet does not follow it, such nonaccountability must be held in check! People do not take accountability for their physical body, their mental body, their desire body, their desiring to experience all things of this world and this flesh. Yes, this ambition, this pride must be held in check!
Balance your mental and feeling bodies in the Libra scales that are in play as the Lamb of God of spring equinox does bring you to that point of integration with the living Christ of your being.
O souls, I speak to the very depths of your beings: Be willing to rise to new planes of being, else know that if you do not, you will not be able to endure what is coming on the earth. There are no longer two choices that are viable but only one. And it is the same choice given from the heart of Moses: Choose Life and to live in the Spirit of the living God, and shun Death in all of its downward spirals.5
You have come far on the Path in this and preceding embodiments. Yet you are still here at this juncture on planet earth. This is because you have drawn the line before, saying, "Thus far and no farther. I shall not accelerate." And therefore, denying the call of your I AM Presence to "Come up higher!" you have again and again aborted the upward spiral of your being.
We have brought you a Path and a Teaching and much initiation and much light. The dispensation of teachings released by the Great White Brotherhood over the last century and more is sufficient to give you all that you need for your victory, for your renewal of your bonding to the Lord Christ. What I am saying is that all you need to know about yourself, all knowledge necessary to your victory is available. All has been set before you. It is the table prepared in the wilderness. It is a mighty feast of Light!
Since you of your own free will have come to drink at our fount, you have become accountable for knowledge, for wisdom, for all that we have given to you in this and past centuries. So you see, beloved, there is indeed an accountability when you come to Maitreya's Mystery School! For the teaching that is given culminates in a path that must be chosen - to the right, to the left.
Many of you throughout the earth who are not affiliated with this organization have come to the Y. The Y is the crossroads where you decide to take the right-hand path of the Christ or the left-hand path of the fallen angels. I am speaking to the souls of tens of thousands of Lightbearers of centuries gone by. And you who are in the physical octave represent many who are hearing this dictation on the etheric octave in the retreats of the Great White Brotherhood.
Thus you must understand, a choice must be made. There comes a day and date in your life when it is time for you to accept the path of personal Christhood. And it begins with the celebration of the Passover feast, followed by the crucifixion and the resurrection of your soul in Christ.
This is the season of the year when you determine that putting on the fullness of your Christhood, increment by increment and day by day, is your sole reason for being. And all other concerns and goals must be subject to the test of whether or not you are applying your efforts and work and service and thoughts and thoughtfulness to that goal of the internalization of your Higher Self.
Many, many have foregone the ascension because they could not make this choice. The key is to know when it is your time to say:
I have lived through many lifetimes when I indulged and enjoyed myself and knew the satisfaction of success, of wealth, of every aspect of human life. These things I have known. Now I am ready to drink the cup of my Lord, to drink all of it, and to live my life for the quickening of that Christ in all whom God sends to me - yes, to live my life for the enlightenment of humanity.
The alternative, of course, is to take what light you have and use it for selfish purposes or for personal aggrandizement. This choice will ultimately lead you to enter the left-handed path. That is the truth. That is the fact. Some may not enjoy hearing it. For who in the course of history has looked forward to the initiation of the crucifixion?
I will tell you who, beloved. Not only your Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ but every son and daughter of God who has found his way to the kingdom of Light. That ultimate moment of the crucifixion, beloved, if you can understand it - and I speak not of mere persecution but of the initiation of the crucifixion itself - is surely the moment of self-transcendence.
Thus I show you a mystery of Christ crucified. And I show you the glory of the crucifixion, not the sorrow of it. I show you how through that very process of Christ being crucified in you the Light of God, as symbolized and actualized in the Blood of Jesus, flows from your Christ Self for the spiritual nourishment of life.
Thus when you come to understand the meaning of Jesus on the cross, you can hold in your hand the crucifix, not in the sense of death and sorrow but in the sense of everlasting Life. You can understand that as long as Jesus is on that cross, as long as the Christ of you is on that cross, the sacred fire is flowing from his Sacred Heart and from your heart that is sanctified through him as he holds the burden of Light and Darkness at the very center of the cross.
And that Light does flow! It does nourish and sustain, transform and heal you! It does bring you to the point where you also may give your life, not in death but in life, for the many and the millions.
This is a profound mystery. May you come to understand it through the All-Seeing Eye of God, through the single-eyed vision of your soul purified in Christ. Understand, then, that the Blood of Christ does flow perpetually to those who know and understand the mystery of Christ crucified. And they become vessels of his divine Blood, his divine Body and they imbibe the essence of what was his flesh and is his flesh in a spiritualized sense.
This, then, is the crossroads of life. And this is the profound understanding that the Lord has given to your Messenger that you might have it at this Eastertide. It is the perpetual flow of Light from the Sacred Heart whereby you merge with that Christ in the alchemical marriage.
You find yourself in Christ and through Christ as that Christ, one with Jesus, with him on that cross, knowing the bliss of bonding to his Sacred Heart as the flow of Light passes through you and as you bear in your etheric body and in your soul the stigmata that the saints have borne. Thus you are that point where Light and Darkness meet and the Christ of you overcomes that Darkness so that the world may not pass through the blackness of Death and Hell but because you have determined to be that Christ, many little ones will survive to know another day.
You have pondered what is the best care you can give to your little ones as you have desired to teach them and nurture them at all levels of being - in their souls, in their hearts and in their four lower bodies. Neglect not to teach them the true spiritual meaning of the fourteen stations of the cross. For, if you delay that teaching, how do you expect them to receive it when their time does come?
Do not spare children the knowledge that the way is hard and sometimes painful. Do not spare them the opportunity to make sacrifices early in life that they may also make sacrifices later in life.
We speak from the heart of the Central Sun and from the heart of the earth. All those things must yet come to pass that are written in the Book of Revelation and yet few understand the real interpretation thereof. You understand the returning of karma. You understand the wrath of God as the white fire of the Divine Mother calling back the fire she has invested in her own, even as the Lord of the vineyard comes to collect his due.
Thus the Divine Mother has endowed the earth and her evolutions with great Light. So you see her coming as the beloved Mary, as Kuan Yin, and in the many faces of the Mother Goddess. And truly the wrath of Kali is represented in that returning karma. Yet you know it need not be, for the invocation of the violet flame for yourselves, for your loved ones, for this Community and for all evolutions of the earth can bring such a mitigation of returning karma.
Yet you see, beloved, if in the process of this you are not processing the unconscious anger, which you do not even recognize as anger, and all of the Martian perversions that you name,6 then you will set aside your very tending of the flame at the altar of God and you will find yourselves not building the fiery coils that must be in place in the chakras. For the descending karma accelerates, and this cycle of the ride of the Four Horsemen surely does bring to the earth great burden.
I say, then, one and all, may your burden be Light because you have listened and you have heard with your inner ear and you have applied the Teaching and the Path. Then you will discover the sweetness of the returning karma that is the Light of your own Christhood greeting you and providing you with the great multiplier, the Holy Spirit, who multiplies the momentums of your Light and enables you to be the embodiment of the World Saviour.
Blessed hearts, you know the history of the final incarnation of your Lord. You know that he went on and did deliver his message in many octaves and levels of being and did settle in the East and there did live many years beyond the hour of the crucifixion.7 Yet from that hour on, his Ascended Master Light Body superimposed upon his flesh body was the open door of the Light flowing from God that held the balance for the karma of the world. And that Light has been sustained for two thousand years. In his footprints, walk ye. In his footprints, walk ye!
Know, beloved, this is the hour of a mighty overcoming, and the Seven Elohim prepare you for your right decision. Only in your own heart will you find that decision. Only in your own I AM Presence, in your own Christhood will you discover the love that enables you to enter a path of sacrifice. Only in your own being will you know the resources unlimited of the Godhead whereby you may go forth the victor this Easter.
We come, then, and there is a grace that pours forth. It is the grace of all-seeing. It is the grace that allows you to see yourself in this hour as you are and as you will be in the hour of your rebirth, your self-transcendence, your Christhood.
Now feel the release that delivers you somewhat of the burdens you have been bearing of late. Feel the transmutation that comes to you by your very efforts and prayers in this assembly this night. Feel the point of inner peace and from that point of peace establish your identity in God. I trust it shall not be contingent on this or that or "if" or "if not," as you still dally in the valley of indecision, but simply a matter of when.
When, when shall you decide to drink the cup, assimilate his Body and his Blood and have your victory? Remember, there is no time and space; there is only the moment of the Eternal Now.
By the All-Seeing Eye of God, we draw your outer vision to the point of inner seeing. Be ready with notebook in hand to write down what you see and what we shall reveal to you day by day.
Now, in this hour of your rejoicing in this evening's prayers of love, and in the love returning and multiplying unto you through the Christ, we seal your hearts and bless you for all good you have contributed to the stream of the Great White Brotherhood in all incarnations. And we do multiply the good momentums so that you might know the wind in your sails that shall carry you across the sea of samsara to the abode of Light.
We bow before the Light in your heart and draw you into the Retreat of the Divine Mother this night. So, beloved, you are sealed by the seal of God that is not written of in the Book of Revelation. The seal of God is upon you as protection for the alchemy that you are passing through.
To the victors, to the freeborn, to those who enter swiftly the presence of the Holy Spirit, we bow. We take our leave of you in word, but we remain having established the first tier of the presence of Elohim here and in the earth.
This dictation by beloved Cyclopea and Virginia was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet at the conclusion of the April 7, 1993 Wednesday evening service during the five-day Easter Retreat 1993, held at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. [N.B. This dictation was edited for print by the Messenger under the direction of Cyclopea and Virginia.] Throughout these notes PoW is the abbreviation for Pearls of Wisdom.
Easter Retreat 1993 was dedicated to ending the AIDS epidemic. In place of giving a series of lectures on the challenge of AIDS, the Messenger assigned conferees to read the book AIDS: What the Government Isn't Telling You by Dr. Lorraine Day, former Chief of Orthopedic Surgery at San Francisco General Hospital. Conferees carried the book with them throughout the conference, reading sections during breaks and in between scheduled events. In this book, Dr. Day examines the myths, facts and government cover-up of the real dangers of AIDS. She presents information that everyone should know in order to protect themselves and their families from this fatal disease. The Messenger considers the information so vital that she is making Dr. Day's book assigned reading for every Keeper of the Flame. You can order your copy through Summit University Press:
AIDS: What the Government Isn't Telling You by Dr. Lorraine Day
At Easter Retreat 1993, conferees also viewed films and newsclips on the subject of AIDS and participated in a prayer vigil for the exposure of the government cover-up and the discovery of a cure. The films presented included AIDS: What You Haven't Been Told and AIDS: Everything You Wanted to Know but Haven't Been Told, vols. 1 and 2, with Dr. Lorraine Day. These can be purchased on videocassette through the publishers/distributors listed below.

No Similarity to Jonestown or Waco
I received your "Media Update" materials regarding the attacks that are being leveled against Elizabeth Clare Prophet and Church Universal and Triumphant. In a recent article in my own local newspaper, the media had one more turn at sensationalism as it compared the Church to Waco and Jonestown.
As a longtime student of the Ascended Masters' teachings, as an admirer of Ms. Prophet and as a professional trained in medicine and psychology, I can only raise one voice - as small as that might be - in defense and in reverence of the teachings of the Church.
The letter to Dan Rather from Dr. Maffett, a professor of world religions at DeKalb College, said it all. I, too, have been a student of diverse religions as well as of human behavior and I was also once an active member of the Mormon Church. My leaving the bosom of Mormonism had more to do with my not finding the "prophetic" utterances (which the church suggested came from the voices of the Latter-day Prophets of the church in Utah) than any discontent with the actual doctrine.
I have no ill will toward the Mormon Church or its leaders, and my leaving was more reactive to my own inner promptings to seek deeper into the more mystical and hidden meanings of the messages of scriptures - both Eastern and Western. I am also a believer in karma and reincarnation, and I felt that my deepest beliefs about these spiritual truths were invalidated by Mormon Church dogma. My leaving seemed to be more congruent with my personal philosophy that a healthier integrative nature of religious thought is needed for our time.
We live in desperate times and what is not helpful or sanctifying is the divisiveness that presents itself in religious thinking and leader-ship as it exists in more traditional and formal structures. Most churches today are preaching, "Come to us and we will save you!" The underlying message is that if you do not go to them, you will not be saved.
That kind of thinking lends itself to a kind of spiritual and social arrogance that was never taught by Jesus or the Ascended Masters. When I began my spiritual search, I found a deep sense of unity and integration in the written materials coming from Church Universal and Triumphant. These were exactly what I was looking for to feed an inner longing that could not seem to be filled any other way. I read the books with commitment and a longing to learn more and more.
Through these experiences, my spiritual beliefs were strengthened and validated and I was healed of the many painful dealings that I had experienced in a variety of personal and professional encounters. So I became a kind of silent follower and admirer for some time. I hope to become a worthy Keeper of the Flame soon.
My daughter and I make it part of our daily life to study the written materials produced by the Church. Our favorite is Lords of the Seven Rays. If you only knew how we feast on the chapters and find anew each day gems of wisdom and comfort to guide and console us in this valley of tears we are encountering.
We find the comfort and answers we need in the Teachings of the Ascended Masters. To know that these wonderful and compassionate individuals are there for us each and every day is so soul building and satisfying. Not to have this information available to us would be a real loss. We play the tape Save the World with Violet Flame 1 daily to begin our day and to prepare us for whatever we will encounter. If we find ourselves rushed and do not listen to the tape or take time to read, at the end of the day we both remark how different it is to not be in touch with that core of our Divine Self.
So now it's my turn to give back to you, my friends, the comfort you have unselfishly given me. You are not in the slightest way like the misguided individuals from Waco or Jonestown. Those people were reactionaries and in no way do their philosophies compare with the spiritual sanity offered by Church Universal and Triumphant. "By their fruits ye shall know them" is still the yardstick that I use to validate what is correct in principle and motive.
God, our beloved Father, and the gentle and kind Ascended Masters would never authenticate, foster or support the outrages that were perpetrated in Jonestown or Waco. An enlightened being could never justify such blatant antisocial behavior.
As a psychology teacher at two colleges, I have often been called upon to teach social psychology. It was in teaching these and other courses that I and my students studied cults and their characteristics and behavior.At no point in my research did Church Universal and Triumphant meet the standard of cultism; instead, the Church, in my opinion, is a valid religious movement attempting to teach principles that will unite man with his Holy Inner Nature and, in turn, with the Universal Source of Love.
I find no similarity in either Jonestown or Waco. The leaders, Jim Jones and David Koresh, both fit the descriptions in psychology literature that clearly define and delineate the aberrant nature of cult leaders, intrapsychically, spiritually and socially. Their need to exercise unrighteous dominion over those who are vulnerable and in need of true service stands as the most obvious difference between their spiritual, social and psychological leadership and that of Church Universal and Triumphant.
If you are comforted by my letter, then I am thankful that I was able to return in some small measure all that the Church has given me in its written materials, the support I received when I called the "Lifeline to the Presence" and the wonderful peace I feel as I become involved daily with the tape that lifts my spirit and prepares me for my walk in the physical plane. I feel a part of the Community each time I listen even though many miles separate us.
So please accept my love and gratitude, my caring in your times of anxiety and stress, and my love in your hour of need.
Gratitude for the Easter Conference
This is just a note to express my gratitude to you for the magnificent Easter conference just concluded. It was certainly a tremendous experience for me as it was for my wife and for many of the people with whom I have spoken. It left me with a heightened sense of the seriousness of the issues we face as a community and as a nation. I have never been more grateful for you and the Altar of God.
