The Flame of Liberty

     Released from the Great Central Sun for the Liberation of the Captives

     A Labor to Defeat the Fallen Angels

     Who Would Snuff Out the Liberty Flame in the Hearts of the Sons and Daughters of God

     Now is the hour when there is released from the Great Central Sun the flame of Liberty for the liberation of the captives - captives of their own limited consciousness, captives of oppressors in every nation upon earth.

     I AM the Goddess of Liberty. I desire that all should know that the term God or Goddess denotes a Cosmic Being who has the attainment of God consciousness on one or more rays and in the service he or she renders. Therefore understand, beloved, we are not the gods and goddesses of mythology but we are the Gods and Goddesses who are the forerunners of your own God-Reality, which you shall achieve beyond your ascension in this life.

     Thus I come, beloved, because it is a moment in the history of the earth and other planets and planetary systems whence you have come. You have ties of light to your home ports that tie you to those whom you have left behind in other systems of worlds. You know that this planet is a crossroads for many evolutions. And I tell you this day, beloved, you can magnify and capitalize upon the momentum of those who serve in the capacity of Gods and Goddesses and draw forth the flame of Liberty for the victory of souls in the earth.

     At this moment there is a tide in the affairs of men.1 It is a tide in civilization, and it is a tide that could affect the ongoing movement of this entire planetary system and solar systems beyond. Therefore, take this tide at its flood and call forth that action of Liberty's flame for all. Call it forth, beloved, for all Lightbearers connected with this system and beyond must have this opportunity.

     It is an open door. It is an open door of unity: "opportunity." But you must take it, beloved. Take it, else note in the future that having lost the grip of the Liberty flame and the cycles for the liberation of earth, you have also lost a tremendous opportunity to gain ground and to hold that ground against the forces of anti-Liberty.

     Therefore, before I continue this dictation, I desire that you should sing to the beloved Liberty flame to the melody of "La Marseillaise"2 that you might anchor now in your hearts, before you move an inch, this cosmic momentum of the flame of Liberty that is upon you. Please stand. [song 724:]

     Beloved Liberty Flame

     1. O sons of Light, awake to glory!
God's legions bright now come again
To bring to earth perfection's story
The plan divine and goal of all men.
As they aspire, so the Christ takes command
And God's own Light will banish the shadows
That now enfold this planet round
As man then bursts his bonds asunder
The bells of freedom will resound.
Arise! To God now call
For peace and liberty!
March on, march on!
Light is supreme
And master over all!
 

     2. O God of Light, belov'd I AM in us
Come now, in mercy, set us free!
We now invoke, in adoration
Thy gift, the flame of Liberty.
Within our hearts, let it now take command!
Our love to thee, dear Paul the Venetian
And brothers of thy blest retreat
The guardians of this mighty focus
Of Threefold Flame on earth so sweet.
Love's pow'r and wisdom, too
Its mighty balance true
March on, march on!
Liberty's flame
The victor over all!

     Now, beloved, you have heard the term "point, counterpoint," and you recognize that each point of light that is won is opposed by a countermeasure of the fallen angels. Even now, fallen angels from far, far away are moving toward earth in an attempt to snuff out the Liberty flame, the fleur-de-lis, within your hearts.

     Note this, beloved, and enter in to the labor I assign to you now to defeat these fallen angels in the remaining hours of this retreat. Take up this cause, beloved, for these foes who oppose the Christ in every soul are worried. They are seriously worried that they will lose this battle. And I am counting on all of you and the Lightbearers worldwide to see to it that the Light does vanquish every last one of them and that they will not prevail to take from the mankind of earth and the sons and daughters of God that great gift of the Liberty flame, which is surely the gift of the Holy Spirit - the flame of eternal life.

     Therefore, come to this tent!3 Come, then, and gather as the Israelites of old. Come, then, and give your energies for the defeat of these cadres.

     There are 144,000 select fallen angels of the highest rank and order who have volunteered in their pride to come and defeat you. I ask you: Will you allow it? [Congregation responds: "No!"]

     You have within you the infinite power of Almighty God. Each candle upon each heart is a living flame that is infinite and has the infinite Power, Wisdom and Love to succeed in this endeavor. You are joined by Archangels and hosts of the LORD who relish this battle and are determined to defeat these fallen angels who have wreaked havoc against civilizations and other planetary systems for far too long.

     The defeat of these fallen angels, then, is the gift we the Lords of Karma and all those who cherish Liberty's flame ask of you. Seeing this accomplished and then sustaining your calls to the Liberty flame, you will see a transformation that exceeds all positive changes you have observed in recent years of the planet's history.

     Know, then, beloved, that there is something about the flame of freedom that ignites hearts at every level. There is something about that flame that re-creates the fervor of Sanat Kumara and the power of freedom that he delivered to this earth.

     So recognize that with the July 4 celebrations in America, commemorating the thirteen colonies' declaration of independence, and the July 14 celebrations in France, marking the storming of the Bastille, you have a merging once again of the hearts that moved together to set America free, to win the Revolutionary War and to establish that freedom flame upon this soil.

     You know that the fleur-de-lis is now ensconced as the threefold flame in the Washington Monument.4 It is powerful, beloved. Remember, it is a focus in this nation. Remember to call upon that flame of Liberty and know that all the hosts of Light will be moving with you in this labor.

     You have merit, beloved, and you have succeeded in many labors. And this is the one that is dearest to Saint Germain's heart and to the Lords of Karma in this hour.

     Therefore consider the burdens upon the youth of the world and especially upon the youth of America. Consider what is happening in the brainwashing of minds through the media in the distortion of what is really going on and what should be brought to the attention of the people. In accomplishing the liberation of souls through this labor, you will be touching all those conditions affecting the oppression of peoples, from the child in the womb to the elderly who are ready for the transition to higher octaves.

     Liberation is liberation. And when it comes, beloved, it is universal to this earth. It is universal, I tell you. And you not only need to affirm this liberation but to sustain it, to defeat every foe of it, to expose the ignorance of the leadership of nations and to call for the judgment of all those who move against the Light.

     I am therefore speaking to you on behalf of the Lords of Karma. I speak to you on behalf of the higher evolutions of a cosmos who are also making their way here for this labor. I speak to you on behalf of all who serve the cause of Liberty.

     I say, it is high time that the fallen angels and those who control the nations go down. They have many sympathizers throughout the earth. Therefore the fallen angels who are on their way expect to be welcomed by those of their ilk who are already here. See to it, beloved, that you place walls between them whereby, as in the story of the tower of Babel, their tongues are confused,5 their minds are confused and they are not able to carry out their mission.

     Blessed hearts, there is of a certainty an amazing insanity on the part of fallen angels who plot against God. They literally lose their minds, their judgment, their focus. And by the way, beloved, they all suffer deep depression, which they cover up with a veneer of pride. Thus there are many chinks in their armour, and the hour of their judgment is come. [52-second standing ovation]

     You know that there are signs and seasons of the coming of the Faithful and True,6 the Lord Jesus Christ. You know that Archangel Uriel is the Archangel of the Judgment. Well, I tell you, beloved, all of the legions and the armies of the Faithful and True are marching and they are marching into this battle. And therefore you can see the Faithful and True as the Son of God bearing the two-edged sword. And you can know that as you call to Archangel Uriel and the other six Archangels, there will be a tremendous response.

     These are the days and the times and the centuries when the legions who march with the Faithful and True are ready, are at your side, championing your cause when and where needed. They will enter Armageddon (which may extend into the distant future) and fight until ultimately they win the battle. Then there will arise tremendous souls of Light who have been oppressed and burdened by all types of mortal cursings pronounced against them.

     Much can happen overnight. Much can happen. Recognize the empowerment of the Holy Spirit and what it shall mean to your cause and our cause when you have the full circle of enlightenment concerning the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

     Thus, we are grateful for the dispensation from the Great Central Sun, the Solar Logoi and the Lords of Karma for the release of the flame of Liberty to set the captives free. For you shall prosper, you shall benefit from this dispensation. And you may not fully realize it now, but the opportunity to be one with the Holy Spirit is surely the sign that you have the opportunity for ultimate victory in this life - not a selfish victory for yourselves alone but a selfless victory for all peoples. Whether for their karma, whether for their service or for whatever reason, they have deserved to be in embodiment in this decade and you are here to uplift them and to uphold them.

     Keepers of the Flame from all nations of the earth, all quadrants of the universe, I welcome you to my heart. I welcome you, beloved, and my love for you who have come to this conference is truly profound.

     Know that I AM therefore Liberty, the Mother of Exiles. You are exiled from your home star, whether it be the God Star, Sirius, or the planet Venus or a planet in another system where there is an advanced civilization.

     Yes, beloved, some of you willingly exiled yourselves to this planet that you might be here in this moment and in this hour. Not only are you on this planet but you are at the specific place in time and space where God has ordained your presence. All things come full circle and all things that are lawful and beautiful and righteous are ordained for you of God.

     O blessed ones of the Light, accelerate, come up higher and know the joy of being a participant in the liberation of all souls upon earth who are the servants of the Light.7

     I seal you, then, with the sign of my torch, for I AM the torchbearer of Liberty! I thank you.

     [57-second standing ovation]

34.1  I AM the Witness - August 21, 1994

Vol. 37 No. 34 - I AM the Witness - August 21, 1994

     I AM the Witness

     "You Can Give Up Coffee Now"

     Beloved Mother,

     I would like to witness to the Holy Spirit working in my life in a miraculous and personal way. It occurred shortly after you gave your lectures on the detrimental effects of coffee.

     I had tried to give up coffee for years on and off. I was terribly addicted to it. It had become a real crutch for me, and my health was going downhill. I had begun to develop lumps in my breasts and was feeling tired even after I drank it. I had really become hooked again after I stopped nursing my child. So, when the coffee lectures came out I knew in my soul it was the death knell for this addiction. But I didn't know how I could give it up for good.

     I confess I felt I had to slay this beast by myself and did not feel I could ask God to help me because of a sense of guilt. I created the problem, so I had no right to ask God to fix it. I struggled with this for some time and got nowhere. With the help of a dear friend I realized that it was hopeless unless God was in the picture. I was ashamed that after so many years in the Teachings I could not come to this conclusion by myself and have more faith in God's love for me, but, let's face it, I've been burdened by guilt all my life - and, may I add, pride. It was time to see it for what it was. Sometimes you cannot see it unless someone points it out.

     I reflected on the teaching from Jesus that unless you become as a little child you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. So I swallowed my pride and guilt, challenged the critic within me that I had listened to for so many years and humbly went to Jesus. I told him the only way I could stop this habit was by divine intercession. I told him even though I liked coffee and depended on it, I loved him more. I prayed for strength and courage. I had to put myself totally in his hands and have faith.

     I did up an insert on myself and gave it faithfully with Astreas, violet flame and dweller calls every time I got a chance. I closed the door on the taunting of the devil that said, "You are not worthy of a miracle. You are a sinner." I was getting wise. I wasn't listening to it or believing it.

     Some time passed and then one day as I sat reading a Pearl of Wisdom I felt a burning love for God and such a gratitude for his teachings. I was grateful that he loved me so much that he sent some-one special like you to tell me the truth about life without criticism and judgment. I also remembered that Jesus said God the Father would send the Comforter in his name and that God would never give us anything too hard to bear.

     My heart filled with hope about divesting myself of this habit. Suddenly, the room filled with such a tangible presence of Christ that tears came to my eyes. I felt a featherlike touch on my heart. It leapt for joy. A small voice within said gently, "You can give up coffee now."

     I was astonished and realized I had heard the Lord speaking to me. He came to me with such a personal and profound love for my soul. I felt his great desire to help me be free. Truly God is no respecter of persons.

     It really hit home how important it is to make a deep and profound contact with God daily through prayer, decrees and study. If I had not been doing what I was doing, I probably would never have heard God's voice speaking in my heart and would have missed that precious gift.

     The next morning when I awoke the memory of this most precious experience lingered with me. I went into the kitchen, looked at the coffee pot and said, "I am not having coffee today."

     It has been years now since that day, and I have not touched coffee. I cannot remember being uncomfortable or having severe withdrawals. The desire and craving were simply gone. It was a miracle.

     The lumps disappeared and so did a lot of my tensions. My body is beginning to recover but still needs help. Yet I would have never been able to address these problems had I not given up coffee.

     I've meditated often on this experience.

     I am grateful to God that he not only delivered me of this habit but taught me that true faith in him and hope have great rewards. He taught me once again that I should never give up hope or belief in miracles. But best of all, he taught me that if he loves me so much, I must love myself - and that is a real step towards healing for me. I learned what it means to lean on God for comfort and fulfillment in all things.

     You hear the words and promises of God all your life, but they really are not personal to you until something like this happens. He does send the Comforter in a very personal way, especially in our times of greatest need if we are attuned to him.

     As I have said to you many times over the years, thank you, Mother, for loving me enough to tell me the truth. I love you.

     Ever in Christ I am,

     Giving the Gift of Literacy

     Dear Janet,

     I attended Summit University Summer Session 1993 and participated in the Literacy Army Spalding Workshop (with subsequent sessions of drill and review). In all honesty, I experienced a fair share of resistance while taking the course, and I was only moderately successful in learning the phonograms. Little did I realize at the time how soon El Morya would put me to the test and send me my first reading student.

     Well, as the adage goes, the best way to learn something thoroughly is to teach it! At the onset, it seemed like such an awesome task - to teach an adult to read. But as I prayed daily for assistance, my student and I made our way through the phonograms, dictations and drill right into his first book.

     I know without a doubt we received much assistance (from a heavenly direction) in this endeavor. And I am grateful for our victory and for you, Janet, in helping to prepare me to win it!

     Sincerely,

     The Reward of Being a Teacher

     Janet,

     Just a small note to let you know how much I appreciate your student teaching me to read. I'm 37 years of age and a master plumber. How I got this far in life is by the grace of God.

     For as long as I could remember I've had to take job applications, doctors' forms and any other papers home and get someone to fill them out for me, asking people to look up phone numbers in the phone book for me. With this came fear, shame and humiliation.

     I'm glad to say today I'm just about to finish my first book. It's called Healing Your Aloneness and I really like it, which I never thought I would - like to read, that is. I read slow and my comprehension is rusty but with steady practice I can feel my reading getting better. I really enjoy it.

     It feels good to not have all the fear I used to have. There still is some fear but, after all, I've had this fear all my life. The more I read, the better I read and the smaller the fear.

     Well, nice talking to you. But it's time to read my book. Thanks for being a teacher.

     The Literacy Army is El Morya's solution to the problem of illiteracy in America. In a dictation given December 13, 1992, El Morya said: "I have called for the Literacy Army. ... You must determine by your own hearts how you are ... going to take the seminar on the Spalding Method ... so you will be able to teach children and adults alike to read by the phonics method." The Literacy Army Spalding Workshop is a 15-hour course sponsored by Summit University and taught by the faculty of Montessori International. Workshop participants learn how to teach reading, handwriting and spelling through the use of the 70 most commonly used phonograms (sound patterns) in the English language. The goal is to prepare participants to be ready to teach anyone they meet to read and spell. Mrs. Janet Nordemann, to whom the letters in this Witness are addressed, is one of the instructors of the Spalding Workshop at Summit University.

The word tabernacle is from the Latin tabernaculum, or "tent." The tabernacle of the LORD (also called the "tent of the congregation") was the portable sanctuary constructed by the Israelites at God's behest to house the ark of the covenant as they moved from place to place in their forty years of wandering in the wilderness (see Exod. 25-27).
