I AM the Resurrection and the Life of the Spirit of My Lord and Saviour in My Heart This Day
I Offer the Initiation of Love:
Take the Key to the Great Heart of the LORD God
Shafts of Divine Love descend. And within and upon them, behold! angels of the living flame of Love.
Love must be the cure in this opening of the new year with new opportunity. Therefore, at the focus of the threefold flame in the obelisk in Washington,1 in the heart of the Temple of the Sun over Manhattan2 - wherever there is the living flame of Love on the altars of the retreats of the Brotherhood throughout the earth, there Love is magnified, magnified by holy angels and saints above and those who gather at the throne of Sanat Kumara.
I AM your brother Paul the Venetian. So I have come with the solution, the age-old solution to all divisions, dichotomies and all that divides one from another or the members of the individual. [And that solution is Love.]
Let Love, then, be the dividing of the way of Light and Darkness, for the two cannot coexist. Let your invocation of Love, O my beloved, be for the drawing forth of the flame of the Holy Spirit through the Lord the Maha Chohan - yes, Love in government, Love in the economy, Love that is in such an intensity of concentration in your heart that it can truly break the stranglehold of the money beast upon the nations and of greed itself.
Oh, such Love, beloved! It is of the heart of Christ in you. And it is the Love that can indeed heal many flaws, many cleavages in the earth.
Contemplate Love. Defend Love! And begin to depend on the great power of Love for the resolution of many things.
Oh, I would that you would spend a full sixty minutes in giving the decrees of Divine Love3 so that you might sense not only the power of Love but all that is arrayed against the Love that is God's and which God releases through the newborn babe and in your hearts in love for one another, in love for the things of God and the ways of God and the path of God.
Many do not embrace this path of Love's devotion because of the challenges of evil spirits who come to destroy Love by all manner of amplification of elements in the psyche and the mind. And therefore, to be a master on the path of Love is to be whole, is to seal one's aura, is to expand the heart and be fearless before any force of Antichrist that seeks to tear the child, the mature one from the infinite flow of Divine Love, from the manifestation of that Christhood which is Love.
So, my beloved, Love goes abegging in the world and has many substitutes. But the Love of which I speak is a Love that you may keep if you are willing to give all of yourself to it and, as one has said, to not be offended by the assailants of Love. The greater the Love in your aura, the greater the protection you need.
I bid you, then, come to my fount of Love as you follow the meditations within the Sacred Ritual of Transport and Holy Work4 that you might arrive at the Washington Monument, the gathering place of devotees who pronounce the Ashram rituals and go forth at night for the healing [of souls] and for the defense of little ones.
Yes, Love is pressing in upon the nations.
And what do you think the effect will be?
I tell you, it is the treading of the winepress. Yes, beloved, Love is the element of God that forces out the anger of anti-Love, and therefore Love wreaks havoc in the earth.
Know, then, precious hearts, that Love is truly the initiation that I offer. And I give Love in my vast school, where devotees come and use the medium of art to paint that which is within, that which is the beautiful, that which is the pain and the record and, of course, to perfect the masterpiece that each one of you is working on - the drawing of yourself made in the image and likeness of your Holy Christ Self.5
Therefore, let art be for healing - every form of art that is lawful. Let the art of the spoken Word, the word of mantra, of profound devotion also be for the healing of the heart.
The expression of the soul through the movement of the trained eye and hand, this, then, brings satisfaction. There is art that is drama and music. There is so much that can be offered to people of all ages, whether in sculpture or the art of design or the art of creating all things that adorn the homes, the walls, the hangings - architecture itself. Art, beloved, allows the great cube, the white cube of self, to take on dimension, quality and a foundation for the soul's rising.
Do not neglect this form, then.
Do not neglect the art of moving with angels, commanding legions and directing forces of Love for healing.
Do not neglect the art of entering in to a level slightly beyond the physical where you find Nature spirits - sylphs and gnomes, undines of the waters, fiery salamanders.
Do not neglect the art of using the magnet of Love of the Central Sun to magnetize these workers in the vineyard of the Father-Mother God and in your own gardens - to magnetize them back to the centeredness of being whereby under your tutelage and that of the Ascended Masters they may earn a threefold flame and thereby have eternal Life.6
Lo, the gift of the resurrection has been given unto them by the Saviour.7 Now teach them the mantra of the Saviour's Love: I AM the Resurrection and the Life of the Spirit of my Lord and Saviour in my heart this day!8
You would do well to also give this mantra that is given for elementals. For you must remember: by anger released you can in a moment easily snuff out [the flame of] the candle that you have nurtured in the heart.
Thus, beloved, atone this night for all outbursts of condemnation and anger you have had even through the Christmas season, throughout the years, the decades of this life. This is the hour to come to terms with this, beloved, for that anger is death to the soul on the Path and it must be consumed.
I hold in my hand, therefore, the torch of the Goddess of Liberty. And in this hour, the fire is the rose-pink and Ruby-Ray flame in swirls and undulations of Love's great power. Love's great power comes to you, then, as my angels and the angels of my mother, the Goddess of Liberty, come to you now.
Receive this Love fire for the consuming of those levels of anger which, if they are not consumed, which, if you do not make the resolution in this hour, will surely remove you from the opportunity for the ascension in this life.
Go not the way of the angry generation! Go not the way of the fallen angels, who have not Love and substitute for it their intellectual prowess, a brilliance that is dull by comparison to the sheen of the wings of the tiniest angel you might discover.
Blessed hearts, the angry ones are out to tear you from your Love tryst in God. Do not allow it! Let Love for you be a humbling experience that you might be endowed with Love.
You are potentially the chalice of the Holy Grail. Let the outline of the grail that I draw upon you in all dimensions this night be, then, as a hologram for that grail that you fill in.
Yes, beloved, I fill the chalice with Love. And I say, drink ye all of it!9 Let Love lead you and guide you to the depths and heights of being, to the fulfillment of holy purpose, to the completion of the rounds in this century.
Think now - seven years and the door of this century shall close. What will you have to say for those seven years? What shall the new day bring and the conclusion of the year 2002?
Yes, beloved, cycles are moving swiftly onward. Those who do not have a hold on the torch of Love - yes, mighty Love - may not see the way of the soul's perfecting.
Let Love light your way each day! And remember the one who originally kindled Love in the earth, your Lord Sanat Kumara, [who came] bringing not only the physical fire again but the spiritual fire that none had retained. Oh, think of this, beloved, and be grateful for the Flame behind the flame that you hold!
Now then, know that I speak to you under the disciplines of the Holy Spirit. This is a year to intensify that strictness with yourself whereby the power of Love may come to you and not leave you again.
How long, how long has it been since you have held the torch of Love in your hand? How long has it been since Liberty could trust you to hold that torch?
Love will try you and pummel you, sift you, grind you to powder.10 But, beloved, Love will not leave you as it has found you but pour you into Love's own mold, the pattern of the loving, adorable Christ.
Oh yes, beloved, Love is the highest and most difficult calling. Love flees so quickly in a moment's indiscretion.
Let Love, then, come. Let it come to the nations! Let the people of Love in the heart of the earth know that upon them depends the victory of the violet flame and the resolution of the money systems. These are not as they should be, and the manipulations and the hoarding take from the people that which is theirs.
How is it that that which is your own can be taken from you by those who have no Light at all?
It is because you have first allowed the Light to go out. It is because you have first compromised Love and therefore you do not have the magnet of Divine Love that could draw to you instantaneously all Love of the cosmos because the Love of God is in you. Like attracts like and Love brings to you every good and perfect gift,11 the meeting of all of your needs.
Oh, I say, tend the flame of Love! I do not hear you call to me often nor sing to me. I seem to be one of the neglected Chohans. It is because you are busy fighting your battles and winning your battles and engaging with the hosts of the Lord.
My legions come too! We come with the Buddha of the Ruby Ray and the Dhyani Buddhas. We come in all of the fierceness of ruby fire. We are there, beloved.
You may depict me in the mode of artist but I am a true knight of the cross. And the numberless numbers who carry the flame of Love bear the mighty banner [upon which is embroidered] in the beautiful rose color the cross pattée. We come as legions of far-off worlds and knights of old. And we come [accompanied by] ladies marching in line keeping the torch of Love.
Yes, beloved, no battle is ever won without Love. For it is the superior force, which none of those who have left off from the living flame of Love of Almighty God can have. They cannot match that flame; therefore they are overcome by it.
Your love is great, for you serve devotionally, tirelessly in defense of a world and many who sleep, who when they shall awake will yet find a world because of you. Because of you they will know a new day and recognize the sun rising in the sign of Aquarius for Love's freedom won.
What is the object of thy love and devotion?
Not thy idolatrous self - nay, the object of thy love is the Mighty I AM Presence, the Holy Christ Self and all who so embody that living Presence on earth and in heaven.
Love goes forth and connects with the Christ Self of each one that the Christ Self might give that Love - nurturing, nourishing, training, disciplining, raising up, showing the way by comfort, teaching the lessons of the Holy Spirit. Yes, Love, beloved, is always an active force. It is God in action in you, nourishing Life in all.
Let, therefore, the Love of God pass through you. Open yourself now as angels of the flame of Love pass the Love flame through you. Open yourself, beloved, that the flame might consume much you have tried to bear to the altar but could not; you could not let go for want of something to replace it. Let Love displace and then fill in the pockets of those conditions that are no longer a part of you, no longer necessary, that are divisive indeed.
Visualize, then, the pink rose in the heart as you receive now the fire of Love as you are able. This is the assistance you will need as you descend each night for thirty-three consecutive nights down the spiral staircase for the exorcism of compartments of consciousness by the living flame of Love.12
Oh, such a gift of the Maha Chohan! Receive it now.
How gentle is Love's caressing of each and every part of the four lower bodies. The caressing flames of Love are healing rays. Sometimes you see me wear my cape with the emerald on the outside but tonight I wear the rose pink on the outside and the emerald within. And I come, as always, for Love's healing. [14-second pause]
Now there is a mighty procession through the Inner Retreat on the etheric octave, close to the physical plane, of all the students who study at my retreat. They come looking like those of many centuries ago who marched with banners in the name of the living Christ. These are artists and artisans of the Spirit and you are counted among them. And you rejoice to have those hours when you may spend time in their company refining, refining the image of self that you might give to others a higher image and therefore knowledge of their own Christhood.
There is a reason that they are processioning through. They have come to the Retreat of the Divine Mother. They have come to the New Jerusalem. There is, beloved, a gathering of many on each of the rays and the secret rays; and as they gather, so there is a grand meeting this night in that retreat. And when you have finished your journey to the obelisk and your ministering unto the needs of souls you may also join that convocation.
You may wonder how you can accomplish so many things in a single night. But, beloved, you are in your etheric body. Yes, beloved, you can accomplish all things, including the exorcism of the compartments of being.
This is a night of transition and the passing of torches. This is a night, beloved, for Love.
Thus, I seal you in all the Love that I have brought with my angels. And you have a brand-new opportunity to conquer yourself, your temper and temperament by Love. Do it, beloved, for it will hasten all things, including that which you have written about to the Lords of Karma.
Love is indeed the key! So take the key, beloved. One day it shall turn in the keyhole and open the door of the Great Heart of the Lord God. Prepare thyself, for the time is nigh.
This dictation by Paul the Venetian was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on New Year's Eve, December 31, 1992, during the five-day conference The Dawning of Your God Reality, held at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. Throughout the dictation, the congregation held candles lit from the flame on the altar. The candlelight vigil continued through the dictation of Gautama Buddha, which followed. [N.B. In this Pearl, bracketed material denotes words unspoken yet implicit in the dictation, added by the Messenger under Paul the Venetian's direction for clarity in the written word.] Throughout these notes PoW is the abbreviation for Pearls of Wisdom.
"I Loved You the First Time I Saw You"
I loved you from the very first time I saw you in London eighteen years ago. You were on BBC television with two of your children. When you were questioned about seeing our Blessed Mother Mary, you were also asked when the world would end. Your reply was: "It is only God who knows when the world will end." I turned to my husband, Cris, and said, "I must meet that woman one day!"
Years passed. I did not recall this incident until a few months ago, when the memory suddenly came to me like a flash. I hadn't even remembered it when I saw you again on television in March 1987 at a Body, Mind and Spirit Exhibition in London. At the exhibition, I bought my first Chart of the Presence, pictures of Jesus, Saint Germain and Archangel Michael, the violet flame booklet, Archangel Michael's Rosary booklet, and The Science of the Spoken Word. I then inquired where I could contact someone in the Teachings. I was given an address and information about services.
Soon after, I attended a Wednesday night healing service. As I looked at the I AM Presence in the Chart above the altar, I saw it spinning. After the service, it was announced that there would be a conference at the Royal Teton Ranch. The cost was £400, which had to be paid within two weeks. I prayed - and I was able to pay within the two weeks!
On my arrival at the ranch, I was convinced that my search had ended. Beloved Mother, you are so kind. We met you on the road and you helped us get our luggage to the tent where we slept that night. I knew I had found my spiritual Mother.
Since then, I have hoped that one day you would be my personal Guru. I am so grateful that beloved Omega has offered us the opportunity to be "a known and counted and sponsored direct chela of the Messenger." For I have never come across a person who loves as you do and who is so willing to teach others the Way.
This world needs people like you. For me, you are the greatest example on this planet. I thank our Father God for the Teachings of the Ascended Masters and for the example you are to all of us. I thank you for your courage and your one-pointedness in bringing these Teachings to all you meet. I thank God and leave everything to his holy will.
I am very pleased to send herewith a cassette of Kuan Yin mantras I picked up in a Buddhist temple in Pusan, South Korea. Although the chanting is in Korean, I thought you might like to hear how the Korean devotees honor the beloved Mother of Mercy. I don't understand nor know the words but if one listens carefully, one can recognize some of the same words that are in the Kuan Yin's Crystal Rosary mantras - words like Na-mo (Hail!) and P'u-sa (Bodhisattva). Kuan Yin is lovingly called Kannon P'u-sa in Japan and Korea.
In another ancient Buddhist temple I was fortunate enough to hear Buddhist prayers being recited in many, many parts of the vast interior. What arrested me the most was the way the Korean women prayed. Each time they ticked off the prayer beads in their hands, they would bow down with their arms stretched full-length on the floor (as the Muslims do). Then they would immediately get up and repeat the whole performance.
A Korean friend enlightened me that for serious requests, the women pray in this manner with one thousand bows! That would sure be some request! Any deity would succumb to such devotion! I did not ask if the men performed the same ritual. (Maybe they leave all the praying to the women.)
Mother, thank you very much for all the wonderful lectures. I noticed that Herman Aihara concluded his lecture "Why Is Cooking Important?" on the topic of eating from a communal pot. Here I'd like to share a story with you.
More than ten years ago I knew of a well-to-do Chinese family in Bangkok. The children were all married and living in their own houses, but this big family was closely knit in one manner: Come dinnertime, the chief cook in the patriarch's shop would ladle out proportionate amounts of cooked rice into many containers. Then "delivery boys" would go through the congested traffic to each offspring's residence, bringing the containers of rice. This ritual was carried on faithfully because the father said that, although living apart, the whole family would be united by eating from the same rice pot.
Not only was the family united in this way but even the workers in the shop. In those days the workers in Chinese shops were provided lunch and dinner. I believe that this is what made the workers stay on for lengthy years of service. Eventually, they came to be regarded as part of the family. Eating from the same pot was the unifying bond.
On this unified note, may there be a joyous season of rebirth in our hearts and souls! Thank you, dear Mother - thank you, all you wonderful staff, for all the Ascended Master materials coming from the Royal Teton Ranch!
In ever multiplying love and never-ending God-victories, I AM
Recently I was thinking about an experience I had while I was serving at the Church's ashram in India in 1981. I wanted to share it with you because people don't always realize just how much the false gurus and teachers can manipulate and how much power they have to affect people.
One day I went with a fellow staff member, who is a Sikh, to look at an outdoor lecture hall in Delhi. We were hoping to find a place where you could come and lecture. A woman guru was scheduled to speak that night, so we decided to check out the place and see what the woman was like.
We arrived early, when hardly anyone was there - just a few people from India and no Westerners. I felt funny about being there and told my Sikh friend that I wanted to sit in the back, but he wanted to sit right in front. As it turned out, he was the one who stood out. Among the five or six hundred people who eventually arrived, he was the only one wearing a turban.
After a while, the woman guru (I don't remember her name) came out and started speaking. She was Indian by birth but lived in England. Although she spoke English, she had made it a rule not to speak in English when she was in India.
Since I didn't understand her, I basically just watched the people and listened to her voice. It had a sing-song quality and almost put me to sleep. Then I began to watch her and all of a sudden she began to change in front of me.
My third eye must have opened because as I watched I saw her take on pointed features. Her teeth, her ears, her fingers and even her eyebrows became pointed and sharp. I thought I was seeing things and began rubbing my eyes, but the image didn't go away.
I also noticed that her voice had changed and taken on almost a hissing quality. All her "s" words seemed accentuated. I was beginning to get really concerned but my exit was blocked by all the people around me, who were sitting cross-legged on the floor.
About this time, my friend began talking to her. I did not understand the conversation but afterwards he told me that she had started to tell a story about how bad Sikhs were and how they raped and murdered, and so on. So he had interrupted and challenged her.
My friend told me we had to leave, so we stepped over all the people to get out. We went to the back of the hall and stood quietly and called to God for divine justice.
Then we left and began the ride home - a ten-mile journey, clear across New Delhi. We rode in a cart (similar to a golf cart), which is cheaper than a taxi. I began to feel sick and by the time we were half way home I was on the floor and couldn't sit up because I was in so much pain. I felt like someone had punched me in the stomach.
My friend stopped the cart and got us a taxi for the rest of the ride home. When we arrived at the ashram I could barely walk. I went straight to the chapel and lay on the floor while everyone else prayed and gave decrees to Astrea. By the time the decrees were finished, I felt a little better. I went right to bed and it took several days before I felt normal again.
I remember telling the ashram director the next morning that that was the first time I had ever met another guru besides you, Mother, and I didn't want to meet any others!
I was aware of false gurus before I left for India, but I really didn't understand how they operate until I saw it and felt it myself. I wouldn't want others to underestimate their power. I thought if my story could help others to realize how the false gurus can manipulate and do harm, then you should know about it.
As I said twelve years ago, I have found my Guru and my Path and I don't want any other.
Your chela,I am grateful for the love and protection you send to us daily.
I am making an effort to become the Christ, to have a God-controlled mind, to love and serve God above all other desires.
I love you and thank you for the privilege of serving in the cafeteria. Please make calls for me that I may attain the purity and wisdom to better serve others.
Thank you, beloved Mother, for your presence here and all you do to save this planet.
God bless you for the books that you have provided for me here in prison. They have been a blessing to me and have helped me grow much on my spiritual path of understanding who I AM.
