     The Path of the Builders

     I Am Sent to Hold the Line of the Initiation of Your Christhood

     Hail, Maitreya, my beloved Guru! Hail, Lord Gautama! Hail, Lord Sanat Kumara! I openly acknowledge thee unto the world. And may the world know that I have descended from the great Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, sent by them on the mission, lo, of these two thousand years, for the manifestation of the living Christ.

     May my disciples, therefore, acknowledge the lineage by whom I am sent and acknowledge also Padma Sambhava, my own disciple, through whose heart you, one and all, commune with me in glory.

     So I bow to the Light that God has placed in your hearts and to the God Presence with you. And I welcome you to the company of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who have set themselves to be the underpinnings of this Community. [37-second standing ovation]

     I have spoken through this Messenger. I shall speak through her again. Now be seated in the flame of my unfailing love.

     It is an hour when I come to you. For I come for the quickening of your heart. I come for the washing of the soul and her purification. I come to draw you to my heart, closer again and closer again each time we come together in this vigil of the hours.

     So, beloved, consider your life as a walk with me and each direct encounter through my dictations as beckoning you closer to my Sacred Heart, preparing you, giving you the initiations your soul requires. Do not go out from this tabernacle this year and forget that we have come close - as close as those of higher octaves can come to those in the earth.

     You know the paths of devotees down the ages whose hearts have been so one with mine that I have taken them to be my brides and I have received them in the ritual of the bonding of the heart.0 Blessed ones, I am pivotal in this age and in the conclusion of the age, and I am the keystone in the arch of the hierarchy of Sanat Kumara that is tending the earth. And through my Heart, that Sacred Heart of God that I have made my own, there is the open door whereby you may pass through into the glory of your own Christhood.

     God therefore has sent me as a testing, a testing and a testing again. For many will say, "Why do we need Jesus?" The answer, beloved, is that the initiator must come. Lord Maitreya, one with me, is the initiator of hearts; and then again Gautama Buddha and Sanat Kumara are initiators.

     But many among the evolutions of earth are not ready for them because they have not received me. They have descended to levels not only below the level of the Sacred Heart of the Son of God but also below the level of the great Dharmakaya of the Buddhas. Thus they must enter in at the strait gate1 and bend the knee before the God who dwells within them, the God whom they have forsaken and separated out from. And until they do enter in at the strait gate and bend the knee, they cannot claim the God of very gods as their own living, vibrant identification in reality.

     Those, then, who have separated out from the reality of the soul, the reality of their Inner Christ and their Inner Buddha, must now enter in through the hearts of initiates, such as Padma Sambhava, who have held that flame and kept that flame. It is the bending of the knee that is required, and in that bending of the knee there must be that acknowledgment by the soul that

     I have gone out of the way. I have sinned. I come now as penitent. I come to confess all of the spots and blemishes of my being, and I desire to take the humble steps of the most humble pathway back to God. And because I have forfeited the intercession of the one whom God sent for the ransom of my soul, because I have forfeited the bonding of my soul to my own Christ Self, I will submit wholly and lovingly to the path of the return and I will agree to meet whatever are the requirements for my return.

     Do you understand, then, beloved, that there is a need for the chain of sponsors who go back to that Lord of lords, Sanat Kumara, who is the sponsoring Guru of earth and her evolutions? Understand, beloved hearts, that there are many who do good and have goodness in their hearts. Yet I have become the stone of stumbling.2 For they cannot accept that God has sent me not only to save their souls but, by my accord, to bear their karma of many thousands of years unto this hour.

     So understand the meaning of the only begotten Son of the Father, the Mother, God. The only begotten Son is the one Son begotten of the Light, who is the Universal Christ. And that Universal Christ, apportioned as the whole loaf, is broken; and crumb by crumb the manifestation of that Christ is as a sealed being, the sealed God within the breast of the human form - that Adam Kadmon,3 whose blueprint is stamped on the soul and the etheric memory of every son and daughter of God who has descended to lower levels of manifestation and must rise again.

     So, then, come to the understanding that the return to the throne of glory requires the retracing of all footsteps. And inasmuch as God has sent me to represent to you the only begotten Son of God and I have accepted that high and holy office, I can assure you that it is not my desire to be a stone of stumbling in anyone's pathway; and yet, this I am, this I have become. Yet it is not my doing but souls' reaction to my doings that is the stone of stumbling.

     I am sent by Lord Maitreya to hold the line of the initiation of each one's Christhood - to hold the line, to hold the line, beloved! So may you know that the signs of the times and the changing signs of the times do not in any way change the standards of the law of your personal Christhood that have been from the Beginning. Therefore, take care that you do not attempt to redefine the Path or its requirements, to somehow step down those requirements, making way for sin itself to enter in by justification of this or that human condition.

     There is always atonement until there is the tolling of the bell and the last trump does sound. Therefore sin is forgivable by the Holy Ghost, by the purifying fires and by the trial by fire4 itself that comes to all of you. If it has not already come lifetime after lifetime, I assure you that the purging by fire is an initiation that you will not escape and it will not escape you.

     You, then, can know the path of being the builders, building day by day, building firm foundations, building that platform whereby you may rise and rise again and again in increments. And so you see one or you see another. You see the saint hallowed in the white light. And just a little greater increment and a little greater increment and all of a sudden you see the saint entering in to the great mighty whirlwind of the LORD God, entering in to the whirlwind that took up Elijah, that took up myself, that whirlwind that does transport, whether it be Enoch or another, unto the realms of glory.

     So little is your perception of those souls in your midst who are rising day by day to that new level of the holiness of God and the consciousness of God that you scarcely take note of just how many candidates for the ascension there are to be counted among this worldwide Community of the Holy Spirit. Being a candidate does not mean that you have fulfilled all requirements but that you are moving toward your balancing of 51 percent of your karma and beyond.

     And as you balance that karma, you develop a taste for the holy bread, the holy wine, the holy Body of God, and you desire your entire being to become that manifestation of the holiness of God. And that holiness is as a flame that bursts and sings and expands and pulsates the very nuclei of atoms and cells and even the very marrow of your bones!

     Thus the ascension process is gradual, beloved. And when you come to the fulfillment of this lifetime - if you have cared for the vessel of the body (and I speak of the four lower bodies), if you have tended it, if you have made it lighter day by day - you will know that your translation will be more perceptible to others than had you not done so; and therefore they may have the vision through their own inner sight of your soul ascending in glory.

     When I call you to the path of the ascension, I call you to a life lived in the fullness of joy and good works and love and comradeship with all my disciples through the Holy Spirit. I look to the ascending ones to set the example. There are many myths about the Path and the resurrection and the ascension process. I say, let us replace all myths with reality that none can deny.

     And therefore, let us make it possible for those who stand by and behold the ascending one to see the transparency of that one and to see that one rising, beloved. Whether it be a physical or a spiritual ascension, it matters not. For you who have eyes to see and who will clear the chakras of the weighty substances you have formerly partaken of, you who will clear the way for that divine vision, you shall behold many things in this life and some of those things you shall share with others. But above all, write down that which you behold, secure it and let it become a part of the archives of the saints who have graduated from earth's schoolroom, from this body and from this Church Universal and Triumphant.

     I call upon you not to make haste to ascend but to make haste to be ready, to make haste to purify your soul and your four lower bodies that you might walk the earth as an example that many may follow for years to come.

     There is a great dearth of leadership in all fields, secular and spiritual - a great dearth of leadership, beloved ones. And why is it so? Because the majority of humankind have decided to so lower the standards of life for what is and is not acceptable that the people can scarcely walk upright, for the levels of their Kundalini have dropped along with their morals. It is almost as though they would crawl on their hands and knees in a narrow subbasement, so little room have they left in their lives to stand erect and show forth the fullness of the stature of the blazing Christ that ought to be manifest in their temples.

     I also come for the healing of the earth. Am I not the presence of the healer and the resurrected one? Am I not also the burden-bearer and the one who does contain the cauldron of violet flame for forgiveness?

     I come in many roles. I come first and foremost for the healing of your earth bodies and the four lower bodies of a people who will respond to me. Now let them disassociate themselves from those chemical substances that surely do compromise their spiritual senses. For such substances dull their senses and prevent them from penetrating the fine filigree threads that make up the sheaths of their etheric bodies whereby, if they were free from drugs, alcohol, nicotine, sugar, et cetera, they could make contact with higher worlds and higher beings and receive their intercession.

     What a pity. So many wallow in the personality cult. How many organizations in the world today fall apart because their members become so caught up with the personalities of the leaders and each other? Why, it is a mutual admiration society that we find! And why is it so?

     Simply because they have not deigned to take up the teachings of the path of the Ascended Masters, which say that there is an element of darkness in the human mind, about which the apostle Paul knew and which he said caused the warring in the members of the individual.5 Therefore he taught that the force of Antichrist must be bound within the human psyche so that the Christ might appear. The force of the dweller-on-the-threshold must be bound and egos must be bound and the carnal mind must be bound that the soul might rise up and know her true Redeemer, her Lord who does live in her very temple. And you must invoke this binding in my name.

     I AM that Redeemer and I have come to redeem your souls! I have come to raise up the Christ Child in you that that child might grow and wax strong in the LORD and come to the firmness in the temple of being that is meet for the sons and daughters of God. And therefore on this night I, Jesus, shall receive candidates who will come forward to receive First Holy Communion - seven-year-olds, older children and adults. I, Jesus, tarry to receive the little children unto my Sacred Heart and to personally give them the Communion of my Body and my Blood.

     And as I reenact the ceremony of the Last Supper, serving Communion to each one who has participated in the many months of preparation, these children shall go forth from this altar this night having upon them the Electronic Presence of my own Christ Child at an age equivalent to their own, that they might feel and know the presence of the Christ, as many of them already do, and that they might have the sense of what it is to have their Holy Christ Self abiding in their temple by increments, as some of them already do.

     It is a wondrous thing to see how children can rise up in such a dedicated community as this. And I speak of the entire world of communicants of this Church and Keepers of the Flame: See how you can give to children a path and a teaching and they will not forsake it all the days of their lives, especially when you yourselves set the example!

     Yes, this Heart of the Inner Retreat and this entire property is the cradle of a new civilization, and I do not mean teeming numbers of individuals settling here. I speak of the new civilization of the age of Aquarius, when children shall walk with wise ones and shall know the things of the Spirit and shall be prepared to walk and talk with angels as easily and comfortably as they walk and talk with those of the evolutions of this planet.

     Yes, beloved ones, there is no blasphemy in your affirmation of the living Christ in every temple. The blasphemy is to deny it! And the fallen angels who have come in my name and insinuated themselves into the churches and the temples, the cathedrals and the mosques of the world and who do preach at the altars of the world's religions are the ones who have told the people: "You may not become the living Christ or the living Buddha. You may not realize Godhood, for it is blasphemy." I wipe out that lie by the sweep of my arms of Light this day!

     Therefore, by the sword of Truth defend Truth in the earth, for Truth is my second name. I AM Christ Truth incarnate. You are Christ Truth incarnate, if you will it so every day.

     Thus I speak to you of the path of discipleship as that inner walk with God to which I have called you, to which Alpha and Omega have called you. Run to greet my Messenger! Run, then, to be apprised of those conditions that are not acceptable in your world yet that can be transmuted by the sacred fire of the Holy Ghost in the twinkling of an eye.

     Yes, you do not need to wait and wait and wait and wait for the Holy Ghost while you nurse those shortcomings along! Yes, there is a fire of the Holy Ghost! It did descend upon Pentecost and the apostles were all filled with the Spirit; for they had tarried in Jerusalem until they should be empowered from on high, as I had so instructed them.6 And the Holy Spirit that was upon me did come upon them and did empower them to go forth and preach the message of salvation.

     I say, with all thy getting, get the Holy Spirit, beloved! For the Holy Spirit is that portion, that apportionment of God, that is the power of conversion. You may speak all day in your intellectual cadences in your description of the Path and the Teaching and it will make sense and the intellect will respond, but it is the soul who must ascend. Therefore it is the soul whom you must reach. It is the soul who must be quickened and turned around and converted by the Holy Spirit!

     And if you would be my instrument wherever you are and the instrument of those who have sent me, if you would be the instrument of that Holy Spirit, then I say, do all in your power to divest yourselves of those things that are an offense unto that Spirit and receive that Spirit now, for it does descend upon you.

     For you have gathered, you are my disciples. And I am sending you forth to the four corners of the earth to deliver the Word of God, and I mean it, beloved! This is a calling in which you must not fail, else the world shall know that period of darkness it knew in the Dark Ages.7 Yes, a dark age can come again and if it does, the only light in that age will be the Light of the living Christ in you.

     I will send you! Come, be trained by me this summer, for I have come on a mission from the Great Central Sun, from my Father, from my Mother. I am here to receive you, to mold you, to pummel you, to love you, to restore to you the fullness of all that God gave you and made you in the Beginning, my beloved!

     [47-second standing ovation]

     Yes, come, leave your nets of karmic entanglement! Leave those nets and learn of me. I am meek, I am lowly of heart, yet my burden is Light, Light, Light.8 I give that Light that you might know how to carry the burden of the LORD, the burden of the LORD! The burden of the LORD is Light!

     Who will be the bearer of that Light and suffer the consequences of the world's condemnation? Who will carry the burden of the LORD?9 [audience responds: "I will!"]

     I will see to it, then, by the leave of the Holy Spirit, that an increment of Light shall come upon you a little bit at a time, beloved, so that you can adjust your heart, your being, broaden your shoulders and feel the fiery flame of love that leaps forth to enfold you even as you are willing to bear the burden of that Light. (Be seated, beloved ones.)

     The burden of the Light is truly the burden of our God this day. For God would flood the world with Light, yet God, according to his own law, will not deliver that Light where it shall be trampled upon, squandered and misqualified. And therefore the burden of our God this day is that God is a beggar in the streets of the world. Up and down the streets of the cities he cries: "To whom shall I give this Light?"

     And the few saints who are willing to turn their worlds around for this calling carry more and more of the burden of Light while the rest of mankind, somehow dizzied by the maya of the Kali Yuga, go about their ways and dance their nights away when they could be in the inner chamber, in the caves of the Himalayas physically with the Lord Christ, the Christ of Buddha, the Christ of Maitreya, the Christ of Manjushri.

     Yes, there are plenty of teachers, beloved, and I come to prepare you for those teachers. I would see you go forth so shielded in the resplendent armour of God that from this day forward for the rest of your lives you will not be moved from your centeredness in your Mighty I AM Presence. I would see you have that strength and strong tie to me whereby you simply will not be compromised by any trick of the subconscious or unconscious, any trick of the sinister force or of the fallen angels who are the masterminds out of hell.

     Yes, beloved ones, I desire to see you walk with the mantle of the apostle Paul or of the apostle John or of the others, each of you in your own turn becoming more and more of myself until you are fully prepared for the ascension as I was by the time I did reach the age of eighty-one. Having fulfilled my worldwide mission from my base in Kashmir, I took my ascension from Shamballa, the retreat of the Lord of the World, Sanat Kumara.

     I was ready, for any number of souls had become my twin; and therefore, the imprint of my Christhood, my face, my body, my being, was impressed upon them. And this is why some of these disciples have reincarnated to the present hour and may be even the little child in your midst, for that imprint of the profile of the Christ of the Piscean age must become the profile that you seek and fill in and wear so that you may move on and blend with it the profile of the Christ of Aquarius.

     So, beloved, in the earth I do have my twins. Yes, I have my twins and they are here and there, in any or no religion. They are those who walk the divine path of Love and have such a momentum of the Christ Light and the Christ Consciousness through their own Holy Christ Self and the law written in their inward parts10 that they are obedient to the laws of God - some of them without even having studied them. Some are not outwardly tutored, but within they are sure. They are sure in the two-edged sword. They know the dividing of the way of the Real and the Unreal.

     These are the great lovers of God. And these are the ones that God takes to his bosom nightly, rocking them in the cradle of his arms and returning them to their battleground where they have drawn the line and said: "I will stand here and I will keep the flame for these starving ones, these oppressed peoples, these ones here and there on the earth who have no advocate before the Father."

     Blessed ones, there are magnificent souls in the earth. Yet some who are magnificent still need to be clothed upon with the mantle of a path and a teaching, for the way is indeed hard. And the Devil himself, who will tempt every one of you with the temptations in the wilderness that I received,11 must be reckoned with.

     It is well to know and study the psychology of the fallen ones, for thereby you will know their limitations. And they do, by all means, have severe limitations, beloved hearts. In reality, they are no match for you, yet until you know that you carry the scepter of your own Holy Christ Self, you will not realize that they fear you far more than you fear them though they put on the best possible front. [14-second applause]

     All over the world millions of hearts, in profound devotion to me and to my blessed Mother, pray the rosary and keep a vigil at her shrines as they wait for her appearance, for her words, for her comfort, for her prophecy. I give you the assignment, then, to pore over my Mother's dictations and my own, not only those given through this Messenger but those given through Mark Prophet, and discover for yourselves what those teachings and prophecies have been since the founding of this movement.

     Study and understand what we have said. Compare our messages to what is reported by some who are indeed the instruments of my Mother. And know, then, that you are moving on in a century wherein certain requirements of the Law, which are the requirements of the Holy Ghost himself, must be met. And if the remnant meet these requirements, the door will open and the opportunity for the golden age of Aquarius will come. And if they do not, the door will remain closed. For a golden age must have heart chalices to contain it ere it can manifest in the physical octave.

     I can assure you that my Father would not have commissioned me to teach at Summit University this summer were my Presence not absolutely vital to key individuals in this organization and to every single one of you who may assimilate some portion or all of the teachings I give. It is essential that you in your physical, waking earthly form and consciousness walk with that aura and halo of self-knowledge in Christ - my Christ, your Christ.

     This, then, is the reason for my coming. It is for a world's awakening, and this awakening must come about through your hearts. For all that we have taught you must be known by millions so that those millions whose hearts are right with God and one with heaven might have a fair and fighting chance to also defeat their karma, their depression, their burden of sin and its doctrine and come to the awareness of the spiritual wickedness in high places12 that will attempt to take them from their precious love in Christ.

     Blessed ones, I counsel you to detach yourselves from individuals - whether they are in the field of religion, politics, education or any other field - who are possessed with demons of fanaticism. Those who are fanatics for any cause are not balanced in the threefold flame and they have not entered into the higher walk with me and my Father. I have never been a fanatic. My true disciples have never been fanatics. But there are many false disciples who are fanatics and possessed of vicious entities.

     Hear well the word I have given to my Messenger that fanaticism is based on an imbalance of the heart and on utter hatred for the Christ at many levels of consciousness. Fanatics, who are often possessed of spirits of fanaticism, do me a great disservice. Walk not in their way! Walk not in their way! For in so doing, you will separate yourself from my heart and from the heart of Saint Germain.

     I have come for Summit University. Summit University began the first day of this conference. Therefore, beloved, I AM here and I AM here to stay! I give you this cup. Drink ye all of it!

     - [55-second standing ovation]

     Archangel Uriel and the Elohim Apollo and Lumina dictated following Jesus' dictation. After their dictations, at 7:30 p.m., June 27, 1993, Jesus performed the ceremony through the Messenger of receiving and blessing the candidates for First Holy Communion. Following is his blessing:

     In the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and the Divine Mother, I, Jesus, receive my own. I receive you unto my Sacred Heart. I break the bread of Life with you. I serve you the cup of Communion in my Blood. I receive you to my heart.

     Know, then, that this is my Body, my Ascended Master Light Body, which is broken for you. The universal Body of God is given unto all that all might partake of that holy supper and in so doing be restored to the heart of the Tree of Life. Each time you take this Communion, do so in remembrance of me and know that I serve it through my lawfully appointed representatives in the earth.

     Know, then, that this portion of my Body and my Blood is for the quickening in you of your path of personal Christhood. Know, then, that the Eucharist is my Body and in some places the wafer is imprinted with my Blood.

     This miracle I have caused to be done that you might know that with each celebration of Holy Communion there is a physical transubstantiation whereby I pour myself into the chalice of holy bread, consecrated bread, and holy wine, consecrated wine. Though not always evident to the eye in the physical substance, nevertheless the spiritual alchemy is complete.

     Receive me, then, O children of the Light, for I AM come to hold you in my arms and send you forth victors in life.

     This is my Body which is broken for thee - Alpha unto Omega, Omega unto Alpha. Thus I give my life in this bread and wine that you might have everlasting Life.

     Now come unto my heart, children of the Light. For I, Jesus, your Brother, your Teacher, your Master, your Saviour, your very own heart, would receive you now.

     [Jesus serves First Holy Communion through the Messenger.]

     The Builders

by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

     All are architects of Fate,
Working in these walls of Time;
Some with massive deeds and great,
Some with ornaments of rhyme.
 

     Nothing useless is, or low;
Each thing in its place is best;
And what seems but idle show
Strengthens and supports the rest.
 

     For the structure that we raise,
Time is with materials filled;
Our to-days and yesterdays
Are the blocks with which we build.
 

     Truly shape and fashion these;
Leave no yawning gaps between;
Think not, because no man sees,
Such things will remain unseen.
 

     In the elder days of Art,
Builders wrought with greatest care
Each minute and unseen part;
For the Gods see everywhere.
 

     Let us do our work as well,
Both the unseen and the seen;
Make the house, where Gods may dwell,
Beautiful, entire, and clean.
 

     Else our lives are incomplete,
Standing in these walls of Time,
Broken stairways, where the feet
Stumble as they seek to climb.
Build to-day, then, strong and sure,
With a firm and ample base;
And ascending and secure
Shall to-morrow find its place.
 

     Thus alone can we attain
To those turrets, where the eye
Sees the world as one vast plain,
And one boundless reach of sky.

     This dictation by Jesus Christ was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Sunday, June 27, 1993, during the ten-day conference FREEDOM 1993: "Healing the Earth," held at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. Before the dictation, the Messenger delivered her lecture "Teachings of Jesus Christ on Your Path of Personal Christhood." The lecture and dictation are available on audiocassette (includes dictations by Archangel Uriel and the Elohim Apollo and Lumina, which followed): 3 cassettes, A93064. [N.B. This dictation was edited for print by the Messenger under Jesus' direction.] Sections printed in bold italic type can be used as fiats, mantras, affirmations and decrees. The Messenger recommends that each week when you receive your Pearl of Wisdom, you type these up and place them in a special section in your decree book. You are also encouraged to compose your own fiats and affirmations based on the teachings given in the Pearls of Wisdom.
