A GLOBAL CONFERENCE DEDICATED TO
God Will Provide the Way OutThe Greatest Weapon Is Divine Love
Thus in the sounding of sound again, there is stimulus in the chakras, there is the opening of the mind. And then there is one who is deaf but who does hear the sound of octaves beyond octaves and does write and write and write down the music of the centuries.1
How fantastic indeed, Maitreya/Manjushri, is the Mind of God in the Mind of the Buddha in each and every one!
I say tap - tap your resources and do not wait another moment to discover that within you is the key whereby you may access the highest knowledge that is required in order for humanity to come through the present dilemma of deadness and dying even of the brain cells and of the cells of the body.
I tell you, even with the bodies you wear and the interpenetrating sheaths invisible, you have adequate, you have ample faculties - yes, you have an entire keyboard on which to play all the thoughtforms of the Mind of God necessary for your soul's emancipation.
From all the stimuli of the senses, from all the things that separate you from cosmic consciousness.
This path, this way, is not dreary, it is not dead, it is not dull except for those who can think only of playing and playing and playing in the outer sense of the word. No, beloved. Until you have walked it and known those who walk with you, you will not know the magnificence of life that can be here and now in the earth. There is no need to go anywhere else.
I AM in the heart of Shamballa, East and West.2
I have come and my Presence is the guardian action. Let angels of the Buddha and legions of Bodhisattvas and all devotees of the violet flame in all octaves who have come for this vigil3 gather with Omri-Tas and the Buddhas of the five secret rays and the Buddha of the Ruby Ray - let all gather together for the defeat of unreality and the establishment here of the presence of God's reality manifest in the violet flame.
I, then, as the third of this triad,4 conclude our message, as we have come together to reinforce and balance in your heart the threefold flame. Thus I come in the power of the Buddhas, in the will of God. I come with protection and I come with a perfect blueprint for the victory of all souls who make up the Sangha5 of the Buddha, worlds without end.
I come, beloved, to tell you that we are engaged in a war that is greater than those wars which appear before you on the world scene. For if you look at the big picture, it is always a question of the battle for the soul, the battle for the mind, the battle for the heart.
Thus do the Three Jewels6 provide the antidote and thus do you see and know that God will provide the way out. God indeed will provide the way out, but you must find that way, you must implement it and you must know that there are many threads being drawn together to bring resolution to an era of persecution not alone for this movement but for religious movements in general and in particular throughout the earth.
You must decree that this persecution come to a halt. Give your decrees to that end - for the arresting of the spirals and the binding of all forces invisible that would yet snuff out the opportunity for every living soul to seek and find his God and attain that union with his Lord, Jesus Christ.
Now then, beloved, know that if you are not equipped to meet the challenge of the battle, you must go and seek and find your weapon. But know this: the greatest weapon is the weapon of Divine Love. Yes, seek and find the way out of the dilemma of duality, but do not confine yourself to one path or one segment of the path. For all facets of the world's religions work together when you seek and find the mystical (or inner) path of the soul.
Many people will work together, but the battle that must be fought and won is the battle being waged by the fallen ones to deprive the individual of his right to commune with God directly and to do so in peace without being hassled by the powers that be.
This, then, being the dilemma, I ask you, one and all, to remember to keep the vigil with Archangel Michael and his hosts, to remember to keep the vigil with beloved El Morya. This is a time for prayer vigils and vigilance. This is a time to see and know that some would take from you your birthright, while others will stay laid back and not intercede in the rescue mission.
Praise those who intercede! Praise those who come with goodwill and the desire to make known to the world that this is a place of the Sangha, that this is a place for those from every walk of life who are ambassadors of the lineage of Sanat Kumara.
Do you realize how many of the tribes and races of the earth have gone before you to bring about your incarnation, your combination of genes, your being who you are this day? I tell you, you as a community have in the aggregate almost the full representation of the tribes of the earth, as you come from every nation. Thus we find here a "united nations" that is spiritual. You make up a spiritual unity of nations that truly comes forth from the Sun, S-U-N. And from the heart of that Great Central Sun, as rays of light, truly you have descended.
You have come to earth to contribute your know-how to the world community in the area of your specialization. But you have come for ultimate reasons. You have come to fulfill a divine plan that began long, long ago. Thus, opportunity has never been greater in this nation to set causes on their courses, their right courses, and to set at naught those vile deeds that come through the abuse of power.
Yes, I speak of the abuse of power. Neglect not its exorcism from your own being, for you unwittingly abuse even your own soul by silencing that soul when that soul would give you intimations of which way to turn and which way to go.
The abuse of power in government is not absent from this nation. You have seen it again and again. I sit in the seat of Shamballa in the heart of the lotus and in the hearts of all, and I say:
The Lords of Karma do pronounce their judgment this day upon the persecutors of the members of the David Koresh commune who perished in Waco, Texas. So let the judgment descend upon those who have contrived to wipe out a portion of life in their refusal to acknowledge the deep things of God and the right of the soul to err, even the right to follow one who is not a true teacher. For the individual has a right to trial and error, to know freedom of conscience, and to make his choices.
The Waco incident is a high-water mark in the annals of the abuse of freedom of religion in this nation. As a result, a karma descends upon those who are the responsible parties. It is a chilling reminder that religious bigotry in America can justify the murder of Americans by agents of their own government who judge the status of another man's conscience and then condemn him to death. Indeed this is a karma that will take some time to be balanced - a karma of the representatives of the people in the highest offices in the land who turned against their own citizens.
Blessed hearts, the vigil that you must keep is a daily challenge as you offer your calls7 to the Lord Jesus Christ and the entire hierarchy of Light for the binding and the judgment of those who abuse power and who, in their failure to realize the reality of the Christ within themselves, have outpictured the Antichrist. If Antichrist is come, then I say there are many Antichrists in the earth8 who move against that Light emergent in the children of God.
Let the greater family of the people of Light throughout the earth draw close together. Therefore dispense with doctrinal differences but meditate in love and know that all your strength, as has been said in the Longfellow poem, is in your union9 and in the union of your hearts as you take your stand for the Light and say: "They shall not pass who abuse the power of Almighty God, which God has given to them that they might be his instruments in government and in human affairs!"
So, let there be the judgment of the core of Evil in all those who allow themselves to usurp the mandate of the people, whether appointed officials or those elected who assume powers they do not have, for they are not God-ordained.
You must call, then, for the judgment of the ungodly. For the Lord Christ has already pronounced their judgment but you must ratify it again and again. The Lord Christ announced to his apostles at the Last Supper that they would judge the twelve tribes of Israel.10 And this is truth, beloved, and you will also find written in your scripture: "Know ye not that ye shall judge [the fallen] angels?"11
The Lord Christ did speak of the fallen angels who went about the earth to deny the little ones of God access to his heart and his message. Thus they crucified him, but they could never put out the Light of the living Christ in him or in his own.
You must realize, beloved, that it is the fragmentation of the bodies of religion in the earth that does allow this abuse of power. I speak, then, to all of you as my children. I speak sternly. You must set aside your doctrinal differences. There is no boat of doctrine that will get you anywhere; there is only the prajna boat,12 the boat of Wisdom and of Love that will see you through to Home port.
So then, if all good people should make their peace with one another and stop their warring one against the other and their accusations, their cursings and their malignings, well, beloved, those who profess to love God and his people should surely triumph in the earth!
And therefore, who are failing their tests the most?
I say it is the good people, the supposedly God-fearing people, who fail their tests in their own self-righteousness.13 And then there are those who call themselves agnostics and atheists who disconnect themselves from the umbilical cord of God's love who also fail their tests. They come along and trample upon anyone's religion, citing this or that person whose example has made them hate God and hate religion. This is a poor and paltry excuse for anyone to not follow the great examples and paths of the Eastern adepts that will lead all to their own God-reality.
Thus you see, if those who are called the righteous and those who are self-righteous cannot even establish the harmony of the love of Christ and Buddha, then I say, how shall there be one Mystical Body of Lightbearers invincible who will join the Seven Archangels to defeat the forces of Darkness that are not out to destroy your bodies, beloved, but to destroy your souls in hell?14
Think upon this and preach the gospel of Love. Preach the path of Wisdom. Defang the fallen ones! Strip them of their claws and see to it that they can no longer harm the little ones.
Do not ask anyone what his religion is. But ask him if he will join the fight for the victory of Divine Love in the earth and for the victory of Divine Union in heaven. Ask him if he will join the ranks of the LORD's hosts to overturn these fallen angels who have made mincemeat of the children of God for centuries; for they have divided and conquered and in their casuistry they have in fact divided the whole Body of God.
I come, then, to deliver a cosmic spanking unto all who have allowed themselves to be separated one from the other through their self-righteousness in matters of religious doctrine. This is not the teaching of the saviours who have come from God. It is not the teaching, above all, of Jesus Christ, and it is not the teaching of Gautama Buddha.
I AM here this day and I ask you to purge yourselves of your inner schisms, for thereby you will purge yourselves of outer divisions that divide and conquer. Accept one another for what you are today as you move together, striving for a better tomorrow.
There are battles that must be won in this decade, else they will continue into the next century and on and on. The battle for freedom of conscience and freedom of religion must be fought and won. And the battle against the abuse of the freedom of the press must also be fought and won. For the press should not be used as an instrument of attack against those who lack the means to defend themselves. I speak this on the eve of the celebration of the Declaration of Independence. The independence as well as the interdependence of the sons and daughters of God must be recognized.
I ask you to also champion the cause of freedom of assembly inasmuch as the federal government of this nation did not see fit to champion the right of assembly of the group in Waco. They chose to assemble in a communal lifestyle. They exercised their right to have the Sangha of the Buddha. Whether or not they were misguided is not the point, as I have already said. The point is that the freedom to assemble must be guaranteed and not threatened by those who do not happen to like those who assemble or their cause.
Precious hearts, as you know, these freedoms must be forged and won day after day after day. And therefore I say, bind the beast of prejudice in the name of the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood! And put all of this into the violet flame as you continue your vigil and as you carry on on the morrow with El Morya's vigil15 unto the will of God. For when you draw down light, light springs up as flowers beneath your feet and the swords of angels do go forth to bind invisible dark forces.
I say, beloved, these freedoms that are vouchsafed to you are the freedoms that guarantee the freedom of the soul to integrate with the four lower bodies. Thus there is secular freedom. Thus there is spiritual freedom. There is group freedom. There is individual freedom, beloved ones, that each one must claim and establish for himself - else the fallen angels will snatch it from him.
Now, beloved ones, I ask you to consider in your hearts, in your councils, in your studies this summer how the greater body of the people of goodwill, who champion the cause of the individual soul to be free, can bring this freedom about and how you can see the dousing by the rain of white light of all divisive states of consciousness.
This is my call to you, for the fallen ones move on as they accrue power to themselves at the expense of the little people and then abuse the nation's resources. And, blessed hearts, they accrue that power that they might destroy any individual or group who should challenge their right and their authority to run the earth under a planetary dictatorship of the power elite.
Mind my words, beloved. Be keen and alert, and do not fail to pray. For I AM Gautama Buddha, a very practical sort of fellow, and I move here and there in my many manifestations. I am out and about in the earth. I am at all times accessible to you, for I meditate and commune with all life in action.
The Buddhas are active, the Bodhisattvas are active, and we count you, one and all, as bodhisattvas, for you have desired to set your feet on the path of the Christ and the Buddha for the liberation of souls. I commend every one of you, one and all, to this calling.
Know, then, that all of the heavenly hosts work with you. But you must know that what counts is that while you are passing through this world you use the intelligence of your mind, the power of your voice, the fire of your heart and the force of conviction to challenge those who deny the God-given rights of the citizens of earth. This is what counts, beloved - it is that you champion the cause of freedom in your hour on this stage of life.
May you have a cosmic victory and a joyous Fourth of July!
This dictation by Gautama Buddha was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood, Elizabeth Clare Prophet, following the dictations by Lord Maitreya and Manjushri on Saturday, July 3, 1993, during the ten-day conference FREEDOM 1993: "Healing the Earth," held at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. The three dictations and the Messenger's preceding lecture, "The Path of the Buddha: Manjushri and the Bodhisattva Ideal," are available on audiocassette. For ordering information, see vol. 37 no. 21, p. 239, introductory note. [N.B. This dictation was edited for print by the Messenger under Gautama Buddha's direction.] Throughout these notes PoW is the abbreviation for Pearls of Wisdom.
Dear Beloved Mother and Edward,
I would like to take this opportunity to express my deep appreciation for your making possible another wonderful conference! I do believe the "Healing the Earth" conference topped them all - and that is saying a lot!
The dictations, lectures, and guest speakers were great - a real blessing. The schedule was particularly nice and helpful, especially for the children and their parents.
I never cease to be grateful to live in and be a part of this spiritual community. How blessed we are to receive the Ascended Masters' Teachings through a real live Messenger!
And to Edward, who "stands on the front lines of the battlefield" on behalf of this community, I send my sincere thanks.
P.S. I love living in Golden Age Village!
My wife and I would like to express our gratitude to you and Edward and the staff for holding the line of Truth there in Montana.
I was able to attend the July class this summer, and the healing that I felt take place was quite something. It was a real renewal for me and a great recharge for my soul. Thank you again for everything.
We really want to thank you for your consideration in getting the senior citizens from South Glastonbury to the FREEDOM 1993 conference every day. The shuttle picked us up every noon and took us home after the dictations. Thus many were able to go every day without being too tired.
Our drivers were especially helpful and considerate, always smiling and seeing that none were forgotten. They would check and recheck on everyone. After the last dictation, our driver carefully checked to make sure he got everyone into the shuttle, and all the way home he sang and sang in his strong beautiful voice until the whole load was laughing and shouting joyously. What a finish!
I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful Freedom conference we have all just experienced. The whole conference was so well organized and I experienced such love expressed from everyone and, of course, from our heavenly Gurus, the Ascended Masters.
God bless you, Mother. You are our inspiration and the example we all aspire to be like.
We returned yesterday from FREEDOM 1993: "Healing the Earth." I have been attending conferences on a biannual basis since 1976. (In fact, the first dictation I heard was June 30, 1976, by Pallas Athena, which you played an excerpt from during the conference.)
FREEDOM 1993 was the best organized and executed conference I have ever attended. This is no small compliment! (My Sun is in Leo and both my Rising and Moon signs are in Virgo.)
My occupation at Utah State University requires that I review, organize and develop curriculum and programs. Additionally, I organize and execute workshops, seminars and contests. I have some idea of what it takes to manage a large group of people but, more importantly, I know when a program (such as FREEDOM 1993) has been organized so well that almost everyone has a satisfying experience.
I hope that future conferences will be as enjoyable as this one. My heartfelt gratitude to you, the Masters and your staff!
I would like to thank you and your staff for a very wonderful and enjoyable Freedom conference. Because I was driving buses the entire week, I only made it into the main tent for just a few minutes, which disappointed me some, but I realized my efforts allowed others to attend when I couldn't.
Thank you so much for your love and guidance. Your presence means more than I can express in words.
