... Everywhere in the Consciousness of God
I come in the tenderness of the Divine Mother to woo you back to her heart of consolation, of equalization, whereby the rough places are made plain, the valleys are exalted1 and all that has troubled your heart will seem as a nightmare of the dark night.
But with the coming of the dawn of Ratnasambhava - Om Ratnasambhava Tram - I say, nestle your heart, your soul, your being in the arms, the breast, the womb of the Divine Mother. And in that embrace know all surcease from pain and separation and dismembering - that is, being separated from the great members of Light of your own being, being separated from the great antahkarana of Life.
I AM the brooding one. I give compassion and charity and all that is necessary for the soul to transcend herself. Although I give and give again, some are so disconsolate that they are unable to receive.
Thus I send you to the heart of the Mother of all Buddhas.2 We are streams of light from her heart, tributaries. You may follow the stream to her heart and on the way be purified. It is a sublime experience of letting go, of not trying to do everything for yourself but recognizing that some things are done for you by the God within, the Goddess within, by the one who dwells in the innermost parts of your being.
Come, then. Let the Divine Mother water the seed and fear not to take the first little baby step to be the bodhisattva becoming the Buddha. Children are eager to take their steps when the time is right. So take yours.
Take yours after you have had enough of crawling. Then come to the place where you are fearless and though you may fall down many, many times, you get up and walk and run again. Remember the security you had as a little one and know that you have that security today.
If you try to do everything for yourself, life becomes drudgery - drudgery without trust in the Divine Being who holds you every moment of the day and the night.
Oh, the Divine Mother! How she does seek her own!
And we the Dhyani Buddhas have come to establish points - points of reference of the five elements of being3 so that in the elements you may find the synthesis of our Buddhahood and in the synthesis find the Vajrasattva.4 It is a cause of great rejoicing that many souls have pulled us to the lower levels of being.5 Thus, we are truly "everywhere in the consciousness of God."6
I pray, then, that you will pursue the path of wise dominion to slay the conceit of ego by the perception that equality is in the Beginning. Equality is yet available to all. What each one has done with the gift of equality marks the measure of attainment.
Equal opportunity, then, defines your decisions, your choices. Equal opportunity, equal time, equal light, equal air and sun-shine - all these things are thine. So in the equality of the Inner Buddha, welcome all and bow to the Light within all and be the servant of that Light, as Jesus taught you.
We, then, place our presence in the earth that there might be mutual recognition by all for all. Many espouse this principle and they carry it through so long as they are among those whom they consider to be worthy of being their equal. But they do not observe the stature of the soul and when there come along those whom they deem to be less advanced, less accomplished, less schooled, less having their life together, so to speak, they immediately place themselves above them in intellectual, social or spiritual standing.
So, then, there is a hierarchy of such individuals here and there centered around the ego. And these position themselves - the lowly ones beneath them, the great ones above them; and this is a state of idolatry. For to see oneself either above or below another is idolatry.
So there is freedom of religion in the earth, and this is a nation that is determined to eliminate racial and religious prejudice. And yet, only those who strive to gain this ultimate reality truly come to the understanding of the deep brotherhood that ties all to the one God and ultimately to the Ascended Masters of the Great White Brotherhood.
Beloved, the categorizing of people is so natural to the carnal mind that it is almost impossible to erase its stain. The cast of the mind that assesses each passerby must needs be to elevate one's own human ego.
For a moment now, imagine yourself as an egoless being. Imagine yourself not being concerned about what others think of you, having no thoughts or opinions of others but only the freedom to acknowledge the Light, to bow to the Atman within and to treasure a soul to whom God has given the vessel of body and mind.
That soul must be very special and very important to God - in fact, of ultimate importance. For why should the God of very gods sponsor a soul if that soul has no chance, no something within that can spring forth as a flower, even as a shoot pushes up through the crusty earth?
O blessed ones, God has so valued each one that to each one he has given the very image of himself, the I AM Presence, the Holy Christ Self, in whose image you are made. Find the jewel, find the jewel. Find the Sangha, find the Buddha, find the Dharma,7 all locked within the inner divine spark.
Enjoy, then, the peace of noncompetition, of not engaging in mental competition with others whom you think are more or less advanced than you are. What a pity that so many spend so much energy in defending their relative position in the social strata of life! Would you not agree, beloved ones?
[Congregation responds: "Yes."]
We do not often come apart to examine our thoughts and feelings - our faulty thoughts, our faulty feelings. But this is the hour to do so. It is so liberating.
Think of the blessed ones of the East. Think of Lao Tzu, Confucius, the golden emperor and many, many unnamed devotees of Light and bodhisattvas robed in their saffron robes. Think of them, beloved, glorifying God in their members and do follow after them. Do realize that the self-emptying is the process whereby you are self-filled with the Real Self.
The Buddhist teachings of the Dhyani Buddhas are necessarily inner teachings of the inner five secret rays. And thus we speak on these things, for these are the levels and the depths that you must enter in order to be free of the binding shackles of the human condition.
Sages have taught these truths over many, many centuries, and you may say, "What is new, Ratnasambhava?" What is new is that I am a Buddha and I am speaking through a Messenger, and therefore you have the direct light from my heart to quicken and make alive the precepts you may have read again and again.
I release streams of light, white and blue and yellow and rose and green. I release streams of light so that there may be the alchemy of change for you in my words, which are not words alone but cups of light empowered - yes, empowered - to turn you around and set you on the path of overcoming and to the realization of your own seed of Buddhahood unfolding.
This is the meaning and purpose of a dictation - not always to reveal some grand new fact of the universe but to empower you to employ and internalize the simple truths of being rather than merely hear about them.
For as I receive you, so I place my Presence over you and in your heart. And I come for the washing of the waters by the Word. I come for the washing of the waters by the Divine Mother.
I call for the crystallization of light. I call for the melting of the elements that they might be poured into new vessels, new molds. I come to restore you to the higher planes of being whence you descended to this world. I come to take from you all self-criticism, self-deprecation. I come to deliver you of sorrow, of aches and pains of the heart regarding loved ones.
These are not mere words, for in these words you discover what is my mission here and why I come with such profound love for each one of you. For you have had your struggles, each and every one, in the past year and I have been there with my givingness of compassion and understanding. And you have found that understanding in your God, in the friend, in the counsellor, in the professional who is able to help you sort out the elements of being.
I say, beloved, as you have heard before, it is the sense of struggle that makes the struggle. Let us cease the struggling and remember how easy it is to transmute all levels of struggle by the violet flame, how easy it is to turn one's back on Darkness and to face the Light of the Divine Mother.
We, then, come for the consolation of all souls of Light throughout the Spirit-Matter universes. We are everywhere in these universes. And therefore, my word, registered through the vocal cords of one in embodiment, enables all those at this level of consciousness anywhere on all worlds whatsoever to receive the same light, the piercing rays of light, of star fire, of energy in the core of vast celestial bodies that you have not seen but only know are there beyond the Great Beyond.
There is an interconnection of all Life. And therefore, whenever those who are the immortal ones speak through an embodied soul at this level, there is the transmission of that word to all lifestreams who are similarly abiding in this band of energy, which is your time and space and your compartment to work out your reason for being - your dharma as well as your karma.
Know this, then - that another function of having a Messenger and dictations is the unification by the antahkarana, the great web of light, of all souls of a similar evolution. And as the antahkarana quivers at the hand of the great Master Artist of life, there is a stepping up, a tuning of the sound that is heard from the quivering of the antahkarana. And as you are able to transcend certain lower elements, you find yourself rising to new levels of that web of life and to attunement with the higher sound. This is the great mystery of being - that you also, though considering yourself finite, are with us "everywhere in the consciousness of God."
So be still for a moment and resolve with inner resolution that this year will not be a year when you are tossed and tumbled by descending personal and world karma, that this will not be a year when you miss your moments, miss your cues, are not here and there and the next place where you need to be in consciousness and in time to proceed with the next challenge that your mentors of the Spirit would give you.
Do not be idle but remember, the angels of the dawn come to assist you to unburden yourself of your daily karma. Meditate with them, walk with them, sing with them. Give your calls to the violet flame. Give yourself a boost by delivering yourself, yes, divesting yourself of the burdens of the day, before they come upon you.
So, in the sweetness and the gentleness of all Buddhas out of all octaves, I seal you in the flame of compassion and charity, remembering the words of the precious Nada, "I give you my love, for all else I have already given away."
Let this be your motto, beloved. Do not hold your hand closed tightly to hold on to your possessions, but open your hand and your heart and give and give and give. And the Light shall increase in your heart with each gift you give to another whose paucity of consciousness perceives a need for material things whereas you need not have them in such abundance or duplication.
Value the things of the Spirit. Continue to give. For I tell you a secret: Giving is what makes the threefold flame flower of the heart grow and grow and grow. The more you give, the more the Light does flow.
And I will tell all of you who seek this and that and the next recourse for healing that your healing is in the Christ-flame and in the seed of the Buddha within. Thus in love discover that all ailments are healed because you bring all things - by the threefold flame that you have expanded - into the balance of the five elements and the Five Dhyani Buddhas.
Now picture us, one perched on each of your shoulders, one in the heart, one above the head and one beneath the feet.
We are also your guardian-angel Buddhas.

An Answer to Persistent Prayer:
Our Daughter's Victory over Alcohol, Narcotics and Rock Music
Remembering the struggles our beautiful daughter endured as a teenager still brings some sadness to my heart. But her victory over these trials clearly demonstrates God's unconditional love for us and the power of prayers and decrees.
Like many teenagers, she thought that hanging out with a fast crowd of kids who drank and took drugs would make her like herself more and help others to like her, too. Heavy metal rock music was also a part of the whole scene.
Fortunately, I had been studying the Teachings for three years. I had been a Keeper for that long and had finished all my Lessons. So I had the tools I needed to challenge the dark ones to give up their hold on our daughter.
When she left for school each morning, I would play Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and other classical music on her stereo. I would call for the binding and judgment of the rock groups as well as the alcohol, nicotine and drug entities. I made the call not only for our child but for all children. I would call to Astrea to cut them loose from these forces. I would also call to Mother Mary for her Presence to encircle our child and all others like her who were going through this same turmoil.
One night I was suddenly awakened by a nightmare - the satanic face of one of the rock group's leaders appeared before me with his evil eyes and mouth wide open. I called out to Archangel Michael and immediately the face was gone, never to reappear.
Our daughter continued in her behavior for another year, but I never stopped my prayers and decrees for her. One day she finally admitted to us that she indeed had a problem and wanted help. I knew that my prayers had been answered. I was so grateful to Mother Mary and the Masters for their intercession.
Our daughter began professional counseling and attended meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. She got back on the honor roll for her senior year in high school, graduated and went on to a technical school, where she made all As. She now has a wonderful job and is happily married. Although she and her husband are not part of this church, they are actively involved in their own church, helping the young people there who are going through the same problems they experienced.
I shared with my daughter how I prayed for her during her troublesome years and that I vowed never to give up on her. She agrees that it must have made the difference!
I hope this will encourage other parents to "Keep on keeping on!" and to never give up.
I am so grateful to you, Mother, and to the Masters who never give up on us.
