Hail, legions of seraphim of God!
Hail, communicants of Church Universal and Triumphant!
I AM Gabriel of the Sun and my legions are with me. Therefore, stand in their midst and receive the blessing of angels of God who come from the Central Sun with filled chalices of fiery God, fiery God, fiery God! [Congregation stands.] Receive, then, the hosts of the LORD. For we are thy servants, even as thou art the servants of God.
I come in the whiteness of the glory of the rings of the Great Central Sun. I come so that the rings may intensify round about this place and also seal it.
I come with the annunciation, for I AM the Angel of the Annunciation. And I announce to you that God has called you to a higher purpose and a higher consciousness. And God has sent untold angels of my bands to deliver unto you the wavelength of the white fire of being. Now receive it in your seven chakras and in the chakras of the five secret rays.
Receive the fire of God and know that, according to thy will and the will of God which thou dost espouse, thou shalt be mighty conquerors in this age. For the glory of God shall descend upon you, and the glory of the Holy Spirit and the glory of the Son and of the Divine Mother.
This, then, is your calling. You must strive daily to rise to the place of yesterday's attainment, to maintain that place and to rise another niche on the morrow. Do not backslide. It will be costly to you and to your sponsors among the heavenly hosts.
I say to you, beloved, the white fire of God is able to annihilate all war upon this planet in an instant. I ask you to heed the word of Uriel! Heed the word of the Archangels! Come into a divine allegiance and understand that the purification of your temple by white fire, which we now bear to you, is the key to the annihilation of war.
Therefore, surrender. Surrender to the Light and the beings of Light. And do not give an inch to the fallen angels who come as impostors to lead the children of Light astray. Let the angels empower you. Do not attempt to empower yourselves, but self-empty and be filled again and again with the Light of God.
Do not be concerned with the passing of the decades. For the spiral of eternality is upon you, and you may receive from Saint Germain a tremendous boost in consciousness and in the strength of the body - the strength of the etheric body, the strength of mind and heart and soul and physical chalice. Strength is the requirement of the hour that no foul or unclean spirit may come nigh thee but only tremble at thy footstep and flee! Thus, be known as the conquering heroes and heroines.
Yes, beloved, when you come to the altar, you see clearly. When you are in my presence, you see clearly. I tell you, sometimes not more than once in a lifetime or once in ten lifetimes or longer do the sons and daughters of God receive a personal visitation from me.
Cherish this! Cherish my presence and my words through this instrument. For to be found worthy once in a lifetime of the visitation of an Archangel should be enough to seal you on a course of victory wherein you look neither to the right nor to the left but up into the face of Alpha, of Omega, your Father-Mother God.
I AM Gabriel of the Sun! Now I draw the physical sun of this system close to the earth, and I am sending fire for the purging of those whose time is up! The fire of the Sun will consume all reprobate1 ones who have not given allegiance to the Inner Christ and the Son of God sent by the Father-Mother God for the redemption of all souls.
There are Christs in heaven - many. And there are those on earth who bear the Christ consciousness and have attained the bonding to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. But I tell you, beloved, those who have that white fire, those who have that bonding are an elite corps. I say this in a spiritual context, for you who are of that corps move with my legions and the legions of Serapis Bey, Mighty Astrea and Purity.
How could it be otherwise than that we should bestow upon you the fire of the Sun when you have seen fit on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays to give the decree to Astrea 144 times? Blessed ones, this is indeed unprecedented! And there are few areas in the earth where the sacred fire is released as powerfully as you release it through your calls to the Elohim Astrea.
Therefore I say, increase your visualizations. Whether you are an artist of some merit or not an artist at all, draw sketches illustrating the mighty rings of Astrea's circle of blue flame round the earth, round yourselves, round the towns and cities and unto the very core of the earth.
Why, beloved, if you will only believe in the power of the spoken Word, if you will only believe in the power of your Mighty I AM Presence and Holy Christ Self to speak through you, then you shall know the victory! We of the hosts of the LORD join you. And we say, there is absolutely no possibility of defeat when we are one - when you accept the purging of your four lower bodies and when you accept the ultimate union with the Sun of the I AM Presence as we walk with you on this earth!
I charge you not to get caught up in mundane matters, for very soon you will feel burdened in body and soul. Take hold! take hold! take hold of your beings and understand that you are the sons of Sparta come again! You stood and still stand as guardians of the pass at Thermopylae!2 Hold the fort and give the fiat: In the name of the Mighty I AM Presence, we will not turn over our planet to the fallen angels!
Should you not give this fiat, beloved?
[Congregation responds: "Yes!"]
Stand for the victory of planet earth! [28-second standing ovation]
Remember, it is written: "The earth is the LORD's and the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell therein."3 Now, if you are also the LORD's and you attach yourselves in this hour to the LORD God, personified in your Mighty I AM Presence, never again to allow yourselves to become detached from that Presence, then you will see how this earth will be yours because you are in the LORD and the LORD is one with you.
Do not give up the territory of this planet to those dark and evil ones who continue the slaughter, continue the slaughter, continue the slaughter. Do not surrender the planet into the hands of those spineless ones in the governments of the nations who do not step in and defend innocent souls who are being slaughtered nation by nation by nation even by their own governments, as in Chechnya!
Yes, beloved, these foul and unclean fallen spirits who have come out of the octaves of Death and Hell have caused war after war after war. I say, devote yourselves for the remainder of this conference, in the name Jesus Christ, to offering dynamic decrees for the judgment of the fallen angels in incarnation who occupy the space that you, the sons and daughters of God, ought to occupy.
It is time for the victory! It is time for the judgment! It is time for the glory of God to sprout from every tree - and the tree is man, is woman, is the stature of your Christhood that is superimposed over you now. For in this moment and in my honor and in the honor of your own souls, your Holy Christ Self has descended over you fully, each one.
Now savor this moment of knowing what it is to stand in the presence of the living Christ, who is your guardian, your mentor and the Bridegroom of your soul. Know this and know that it is a foretaste of the eternal bonding that you shall one day have because you have said:
We will overcome! We will have the victory! And the fallen angels shall have no power to defeat us, to defeat our oneness with our Holy Christ Selves or our oneness with the legions of God without number who have come to reinforce his glory in us today!
The entire hosts of heaven are fed up with the people's indulgence of the fallen angels and their deeds. For they have refused to challenge and bind the fallen angels and to enter in to the path of glory whereby the science of the spoken Word becomes sharper than the two-edged sword4 and descends to strip these betrayers of the people of their power.
Beloved ones, we wish harm to no one, not even to those who are evildoers. Your calls to God for the restraining of fallen angels are legitimate before the Court of the Sacred Fire and the Four and Twenty Elders. For as a result of your calls these individuals stand trial before the Court and are stripped of the Light of God that they have stolen from his children and then used against them, confining them in concentration camps5 and torturing and murdering them.
Do you understand that the judgment is for the stripping of evildoers of their evil momentums? Yet they have free will. And they have the opportunity, until their time is up, to turn around and face the Light and accept the calling of Almighty God. Nevertheless, many blaspheme God unto their very last breath.
Beloved ones, it is up to you, the sons and daughters of God, to call upon us, the Archangels and legions of Light, to step in, in the name I AM THAT I AM, and bind these fallen angels incarnate when the heads of state of nations refuse to send their armies against these murderers who murder again and again and again!
And how many years have we continued to see the war in Bosnia, in the former Yugoslavia, and town after town, village after village destroyed?
Blessed ones, as Saint Germain has said, those who see the genocide and do nothing will not be without culpability.6 See to it that you do something rather than nothing. See to it that you go to the altar of God and call for the judgment of those who commit genocide. And pray for the complete alteration, by way of violet flame transmutation, of the planetary consciousness.
The consciousness of planet earth must change! And you are torchbearers! The sacred fire is rising in you now through the ministrations of your Holy Christ Self. Experience this moment and retain it!
And remember that the Faithful and True, who appears in Revelation,7 is the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (overshadowed by Maitreya, Gautama and Sanat Kumara). You can march with him and his armies of Light, and the Light will perform its work through you.
You may lawfully pronounce the judgment of the fallen angels and call to the Archangels to present them in chains in the judgment hall at the Court of the Sacred Fire on Sirius to hear the sentence of Divine Justice that is meet. Understand that Divine Justice is always measured out on behalf of both the least and the greatest, the purest and the most impure of beings.
The Archangels respond to your commands according to the consistency and the intensity of your decrees. Thus know that you have nothing to fear when you regularly call for the binding of the massive dwellers-on-the-threshold of evildoers - even those who have amassed such power that few would dare to strip them of that power.
I say, your Messenger dares! The legions of Light dare! And you dare to strip them of their power! You dare to offer fervent calls to God! For by those calls you stand in defense of the little children and innocent people, nation by nation.
Yes, beloved, it is time for you to understand the meaning of empowerment and to know that if we are to empower you, you must be trustworthy. You must not allow yourselves to enter into anger and lose that empowerment. You must not allow the Light we would give you to go to the Other Side [the Dark Side] because you have entered into the vibrations of the Other Side.
This is a strict path but it is worth all the effort! It is the liberation of Christendom! It is the liberation of all peoples who pray and yet have not been empowered because there was not a Messenger to be the instrument of our delivery of that empowerment or to teach its correct use.
Thus, we have anointed a Messenger. Thus, your Holy Christ Self may be unto you your teacher and your guide. Know the Truth, beloved! Know the Truth and set this planet free! Only a very few people with hearts of fire are needed to accomplish this task. Yet ye are many, and many more are coming, as you have heard.
Beloved hearts, councils have met, including councils of angels and the Darjeeling Council. A conclave has been held at the Royal Teton. All the hosts of heaven who are ministering to earth are meeting in various retreats. We maximize the effectiveness of those meetings. We seal our findings in the files of akasha, to which every member of the Great White Brotherhood has access. By the Mind of God, we accomplish in an hour and in days what it might take you literally an aeon to accomplish.
We are there! We are determined! And we say once again to all: Defeat is absolutely unthinkable! It is unthinkable, beloved! And therefore, if you would have the victory, you must have the drive and the fire for the victory as you have never had it before!
I, Gabriel, place upon you now a mighty action of light in the thoughtform of the calla lily, each one a trumpet. Keep the thoughtform of the calla lilies trumpeting the victory of Christ, along with the Easter lilies and the magnificent blossoms prepared by elemental life.
Yes, beloved ones, you may have your victory, but you will have to fight for it and hold the line every day of your life! You can see a planet glorious, a planet entering a golden age. I command you to go forth and achieve this for Almighty God and your posterity!
In the love of the living presence of the Saviour, I seal you now. And I am your companion, your teacher, mentor and disciplinarian - Gabriel, Archangel of the Sun! - [36-second standing ovation]
While your Holy Christ Self is over you and upon you and within you, you are free to pray, to kneel and to make your determination to have your victory and earth's victory - to save all souls of Light in the earth. [Messenger and congregation kneel in prayer.]
"The Summit Lighthouse Sheds Its Radiance O'er All the World to Manifest as Pearls of Wisdom."
The five-day Easter Retreat 1995 was held April 12 through 16, 1995, at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. This dictation by Archangel Gabriel was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood, Elizabeth Clare Prophet, on Good Friday, April 14, 1995. In preparation for the dictation, the congregation sang "Seraphic Meditations," an original work written by our messenger of music and performed by the Church Universal and Triumphant Choir.
[N.B. This dictation was edited for print by the Messenger under Archangel Gabriel's direction.]
I recently came across "Lessons from Geese" by Milton Olson and wanted to share it with you. It is a beautiful expression of our life together and the meaning of community:
1. As each bird flaps its wings, it creates an "uplift" for the bird following. By flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock adds 71% greater flying range than if the bird flew alone.
Lesson: People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going more quickly and easily because they are traveling on the thrust of one another.
2. Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to fly alone, and it quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the "lifting power" of the bird immediately in front.
Lesson: If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay in formation with those who are headed where we want to go (and be willing to accept their help as well as give ours to the others).
3. When the lead goose gets tired, it rotates back into the formation and another goose flies at the point position.
Lesson: It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks, and sharing leadership with people. As with geese, we are interdependent on each other.
4. The geese in formation honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.
Lesson: We need to make sure our honking from behind is encouraging - and not something else.
5. When a goose gets sick or wounded or shot down, two geese drop out of formation and follow it down to help and to protect it. They stay with it until it is able to fly again or dies. Then they launch out on their own, with another formation, or catch up with the flock.
Lesson: If we have as much sense as geese we, too, will stand by each other in difficult times as well as when we are strong.
The Law of the Tithe Really Does WorkI wanted to take this opportunity to write you a letter on a positive note as opposed to the letters I have been writing as a cry for help recently.
I want to testify to the wondrous comforting presence of the ascended hosts and the miracle of the abundant life.
I have gone through many changes in the past year, one of which was finding myself penniless and at the absolute lowest point in my life. I had to rearrange everything and start from scratch.
I decided to start my own business on a shoestring and faithfully apply the law of the tithe. Well, the first month I was barely able to pay rent and still have money left over, but I sent my $30 to El Morya.
The next month my business picked up and I was able to send $60. This last month I was proudly able to give $100.
It's amazing how business has come from nowhere and ideas have surfaced in my mind of novel approaches to marketing my services.
I cannot express enough my awe at this law. It really does work.
"Oh, If I Could Only Tell Them!"
A Profile of Daniel and Nada Rayborn
Much of what we know of the lives of Daniel Rayborn and Nada Rayborn is from Godfré Ray King's book The Magic Presence. Godfré Ray King was the pseudonym of Guy Ballard. And Lotus Ray King was the pseudonym of his wife, Edna Ballard. In the 1930s Saint Germain contacted Guy Ballard and Edna Ballard and trained them to be his Messengers. Through them, he founded the I AM Activity.
Godfré first met Daniel Rayborn in the summer of 1930 at the Brown Palace Hotel in Denver, after receiving a letter of introduction to him from Saint Germain. He wrote in The Magic Presence: "My impression of Rayborn was very pleasant, for his whole attitude was one of harmony and kindliness, and at the same time, I felt that he was a man of strong character with a keen sense of honor. He had a finely shaped head, classic features, iron-gray hair, and clear, piercing blue-gray eyes. He stood erect and was fully six feet two inches in height."8
The day after they met, Godfré accompanied Daniel to his Diamond K Ranch in Wyoming, which was one of Daniel's mining properties. When later visiting another of Daniel's mining operations, Godfré remarked that he had never seen so fine a camp of men. He wrote: "Everything possible had been done for their comfort and convenience. ... Everywhere it was plainly evident that Rayborn was much loved by his men. The entire atmosphere was one of harmonious cooperation, and there was a total absence of all coarse or undesirable elements."9
At the Diamond K Ranch, Godfré met Daniel's two children - his eighteen-year-old son, Rex, and his sixteen-year-old daughter, Nada. Rex and Nada had remarkable singing voices and they performed for Godfré after dinner one night. That evening Nada told Godfré about her mother, whose name was also Nada.10 (As you know, neither of these Nadas is the Nada who is the Chohan of the Sixth Ray.)
Nada said she and her brother had inherited their voices from their mother, who had been an opera singer. She went on to tell Godfré that her mother and father were "twin rays," or twin flames; and she related to him the story of her mother's passing:
Mother's father was an Englishman and her mother, who was educated in England, was the daughter of an Arab sheik. Two years ago, mother was taken ill and passed on within a few weeks, although everything possible was done to save her life. During the last four weeks she received transcendent revelations that have explained many things to us. ...
Saint Germain first came to mother one night at the beginning of her career in grand opera. She had been singing only a few months, when one evening she became almost speechless with stage fright. She was in her dressing room shortly before the performance when a frantic fear seized her, making her forget everything. Saint Germain stepped through in his tangible body, introduced himself, and touched her forehead with the fingers of his right hand. Instantly, all nervousness left, the memory of her part returned, and she was calm and at ease. That night her success was tremendous, and it continued to increase, becoming brilliant beyond her fondest dreams.
He told her she had earned the right to the protecting presence of the Ascended Masters and from that time on it would be permanent.11
We should realize that it is possible to earn the protecting presence of the Ascended Masters and that there comes a time when that protection is made permanent. We should tailor our lives, our thoughts, our meditations and our prayers to the goal of receiving the Masters' protecting presence and to earning the right to have it as a permanent manifestation in our lives.
Remember that the Rayborns were real people who were embodied on earth in the twentieth century. They wore the same kind of bodies we wear and lived in the United States, in the neighboring state of Wyoming. They received training directly from Saint Germain, no doubt because of many previous lifetimes in which they were loyal to him and to his cause.
All sincere devotees can work to earn their chelaship under Saint Germain. You know what you can and cannot do if you desire above all to be a chela and to enjoy the protection of the Ascended Masters. I need not tell you what you must do to earn that protection, for you know what you must do. And you have every right to pray that that protection might be made permanent. It's just a question of how close you want to be to the Ascended Masters, what you are willing to give up for that closeness and if you are willing to maintain your harmony, compassion, kindness and love toward all people.
[Saint Germain] described the man [Mother] was to marry [and] the son and daughter who were to come to her. After this, he came at regular intervals and taught her many inner laws which she was able to comprehend and apply with astonishing results.12
As we read the major works from the I AM Activity - Unveiled Mysteries, The Magic Presence and The "I AM" Discourses - and as we contemplate the teachings the Ascended Masters have given through Mark and me, we realize that we ourselves have assimilated the inner laws of God and that we are able to comprehend them. The test is to apply those laws "with astonishing results." This everyone here can do. We just need to decide to do it.
Nada told Godfré: "Shortly after I was born, our Beloved Master, Saint Germain, came to [Mother]. He explained that she had work to do on the higher planes of life and that he would always hold Rex and me in his great, loving, protecting care. ... Father, Saint Germain said, was not sufficiently awakened to be told of [the Higher Law] until about a year ago, when ... Saint Germain came to him."13
After dinner the next evening, Daniel Rayborn met with Godfré, Rex and Nada. He told them that Saint Germain had awakened him at 4:00 a.m. that morning and had taught him for at least two hours. Saint Germain revealed to him that he would soon make his ascension.14
There is no one here who does not have some contact with Saint Germain. Your very love for him establishes that. You can increase and intensify that tie by directing your thoughts and love to him throughout the day and at night as you prepare to take leave of your body to go in soul travel to the retreats of the Masters.
Just think: you can one day have the blessings and initiations that the Rayborns had, if you work at it one-pointedly. This is why their story is so meaningful to us. Saint Germain will propel you forward. Yet you must not come with begging bowl in hand but with a platter piled high with the fruits of many lifetimes of service. Yes, you can seek and find the Master's companionship if you truly want it.
In a dictation given through Mark Prophet on October 14, 1963, the Ascended Master Daniel Rayborn explained how his contact with Saint Germain prior to his ascension had propelled him forward on the spiritual path:
It was such a wonderful experience for me when I first came into contact with Saint Germain - when I realized that he was a vibrant, living person, a great Ascended Master, one who could come from the great cosmic ethers with the swiftness of blue lightning and make himself known and felt. The tangibility of this great Master flooded my being, and I was wholly aware of the fact that I was in the presence of great divinity.
But the one particular concept that he imparted to me above all others, which floods my soul at this moment with wonder, was that the God within me held the same desire of transformation for me as was resident within the being of Saint Germain.
This is a stupendous statement. Apply it to yourself: God within you holds the same desire of transformation as is resident within the being of Saint Germain.
This concept closes the distance between you and any Ascended Master. Think of the beauty of the God that beats your heart - the threefold flame that is pulsating within you, that leaps in the desire to be multiplied by your decrees and meditations.
Continuing now with the dictation of the Ascended Master Daniel Rayborn:
[Saint Germain] made known to me that it was the wonder of God's love that would impart to me also the full stature of an Ascended Master. He engendered in me great faith and courage so that I had hope, when faced with many vicissitudes in the business world and in family situations ..., that the great Light of God would safely pull me through all those conditions and that ultimately I would be given the gift of my ascension.
In this same dictation Daniel Rayborn taught us a mantra we can use in times of trial. He said:
Many of you who are at times afflicted by elements of doubt and shadow must recognize the constancy of the Sun of your being that shines behind each cloud. You have heard it said that every cloud has a silver lining. But at times these words seem poor consolation to those going through their moments of trial. Men must recognize the need not to necessarily make decisions during moments of trial but to wait until the clouds have rolled away and the cycle has passed.
The words "This too shall pass!" are a fiat of authority that Saint Germain taught me as a mantram. When correctly understood and applied to life, this fiat tends to act as an eraser to wipe the slate of life clean and to remove unwanted pictures from the consciousness.
"This too shall pass!" stated three times and followed three times by "The Light of God never fails!" creates a mantram of Christ consciousness to clean the consciousness of unwanted conditions and bring forth a positive victory over negative elements that may at times be projected into one's consciousness.
Let us give this fiat together:
This too shall pass! This too shall pass! This too shall pass!
And the beloved Mighty I AM Presence is that Light!
This teaching was an amazing find for me as I prepared this lecture because when I was in my teens I decided to make my motto "This too shall pass!"15 My soul knew that I was going through karma, and this motto always gave me the courage and vision to keep on keeping on.
I can see now how this fiat truly clears the slate. As the Ascended Master Daniel Rayborn said, "When correctly understood and applied to life, this fiat tends to act as an eraser to wipe the slate of life clean and to remove unwanted pictures from the consciousness." This is exactly what it did for me.
I wrote it on my high school textbooks, and I would always say to myself, "This thing you're going through right now, it will pass. There will be better days. You will get beyond this. This too shall pass!" I hadn't read the I AM books at that time. I had nothing in print to go by. But this mantra was a sustaining presence as I went forth to make my way in the world.
So I invite you to also use it, because it really works. When you say it, you are declaring that this human creation, this human nonsense will pass and that the glory of the Lord will be in you and upon you.
Let's return now to the story in The Magic Presence.
A few days after Saint Germain had awakened Daniel Rayborn and instructed him, the Master spent three days with Daniel, Rex and Nada Rayborn and Godfré at the Cave of Symbols, his retreat near the Rayborn ranch. He gave them a tour of the retreat and showed them marvelous inventions, including a device called the atomic accelerator.
Saint Germain explained that the atomic accelerator was
a mechanical way of quickening the atomic vibration of the human body ... and assisting to raise it into the pure Electronic Body which Jesus referred to as the seamless [garment] or the bridal garment of the Spirit. ...
... It will be used a great deal in the future to assist in raising the physical flesh atom into its divine purity and structure - the Electronic Body. This [Electronic] Body remains forever, eternally youthful, beautiful, strong, perfect, and free from every conceivable limitation. In this body, individuals can and do function wherever they choose in the universe, for in it there are no barriers of time, place, space, nor condition. ...
... This amazing, real, physical machine is a mighty healing agent - as well as a means by which the body can be raised. It also quickly establishes perfect equilibrium in the brain structure, and through the balancing of the mental and emotional activities of a human being, dishonesty and crime of every kind can be prevented. It was used on Atlantis, although it was less perfect. [We read in Phylos the Tibetan's book of this very machine on Atlantis.16] ... There is no invention or discovery that has [blessed] or ever will bless mankind to so great a degree.17
During the Rayborns' visit to the Cave of Symbols, Saint Germain asked Daniel Rayborn to sit in the atomic accelerator, which was aglow with currents of light.
In an instant, the light within Rayborn's body began to increase, and his face revealed great joy. Within the light around him were particles of substance continually rising as the impurities in his physical body were thrown off and consumed. This lasted about ten minutes. Then I saw his hair gradually return to its natural color, a dark brown, and his face become radiant and youthful. The light within the chair gradually disappeared, and the laboratory was again as usual.
Saint Germain extended his hand to Mr. Rayborn and he stepped down lightly, as if scarcely conscious of any weight. For more than an hour, the radiance about his face and the brilliant light within his eyes was most remarkable.18
After this experience, Rayborn said, "Words can never describe the marvels I have experienced, ... and for the first time in my life, I am beginning to know the real meaning of life."19 That life is the life eternal, the life everlasting.
The next day Rayborn once again sat in the atomic accelerator:
A dazzling blue-white light blazed forth crystal clear. In perhaps ten minutes, his flesh looked perfectly transparent. Slowly, a current of vivid blue moved up his spine and met the combined currents of the pineal gland, pituitary body, and the base of the brain, forming into a dazzling golden light, encircled by the most vivid blue. ... Then, by the very power of his own light, he arose and stepped forth from the chair, and as he did so, he seemed to float rather than walk.20
Godfré, Rex and Nada were also allowed to sit in the atomic accelerator for a few minutes. Then Saint Germain took them all to another chamber, where he unveiled a mirror.
"This," he explained, "is a Cosmic Mirror in which any individual, having reached a certain height of attainment, may see his complete series of lives, the cause and effect of his conscious activity, and how the gradual process of mastery is attained. Then, seeing the divine plan of his future, he will understand how to ... increase his power of service and usefulness by consciously expanding the Love, Light, Wisdom, and Power of the Mighty I AM Presence through himself."21
Saint Germain allowed Daniel Rayborn to look into the mirror. "Immediately, a spot of sapphire blue light appeared upon the milky-white surface of the mirror and steadily expanded until [the mirror] became crystal clear," wrote Godfré. "The screen revealed Rayborn's experiences, including even those of his present life and our recent association."
You see, ... an extension has been granted to this good Brother until he has finished certain outer work and the children are through school. These [life] extensions are given only where it is possible to raise the atomic structure of the physical body into the Electronic. When this takes place, he will be united with his beautiful twin ray, the mother of Rex and Nada. Then will they reveal their true service through the Mighty ... Presence of the I AM as their radiance grows brighter and brighter. At an appointed time [after their ascension], they will come forth with their Ascended Master authority and serve in their visible, tangible ascended bodies, holding positions as great teachers of the Light in high governmental offices, being direct Messengers of the Most High Living God.22
Saint Germain said that one year from that day, on July 28, 1931, they would all meet again in the Cave of Symbols, where Daniel Rayborn would make his ascension.23
At Christmastime, Saint Germain met the Rayborns, Godfré, and Bob and Pearl Singleton in Washington, D.C. Bob was the superintendent of Rayborn's mining operations. He and his sister, Pearl, were students of Saint Germain.
On the night of December 21, winter solstice, Saint Germain told them he wanted them to attend a concert on Christmas Eve. He said two of the performers would be indisposed and he would arrange for Rex, Nada, Bob and Pearl to perform in their place.
On Christmas Eve, the four sang as a quartet, and Rex and Nada also performed solos. After they had finished their performance, the manager stepped to the front of the stage and announced a surprise for the closing number. "Allow me to present our guest artist of the evening," he said as he introduced "Prima Donna Nada," who would sing "I Come on the Wings of Light."
The mother of Nada and Rex entered, wearing a gown glittering with jewels. Her own beauty far transcended that of the gown she wore. The applause and greeting from the audience were tremendous. She raised her hand for silence, the audience responded instantly, and she began.
She sang with tremendous power and glory, as her radiation was released to flood out over the audience and the city of Washington in blessing. ... At the close of her song, the audience was gripped in silence [for] a few seconds and then burst forth showering their deep appreciation and joy in loving gratitude upon her. They called for her again and again. After she had sung ... for the third time, she raised her hand for silence and spoke to them.
"Your joy and gratitude is so sweet, so sincere, that I shall sing for you something I love, which expresses my feeling for you. It is called `I Love You."' In this, her voice took on a beauty and power that acted like magic. She sang as only an Ascended Master can sing, and it was no wonder the audience in its enthusiasm and appreciation tried to call her back again and again.
However, at a signal from Saint Germain, the final curtain was lowered.24
Saint Germain, Nada, her family and Bob and Pearl rushed off to a hotel. In a few moments, reporters besieged the place, wanting to know the identity of the singer.
Saint Germain stepped to the door, and greeted them. "Prima Donna Nada," he said, "is the wife of a western mining man, Daniel Rayborn, and the two soloists ... are her son and daughter. That is all," and he dismissed them.25
Later Saint Germain explained: "Tonight I have shown you the higher ideal of entertainment. It is not only very enjoyable but tremendously uplifting because of the Magic Presence, whose limitless power it releases. You see, when the proper channel is opened, there is no limit to the blessings an audience may receive wherever the condition is made possible."26
That evening Nada told her family, Godfré, Bob and Pearl of her experiences as an Ascended Lady Master and some of the most important lessons she had learned. Nada said that after her passing, twelve Ascended Masters, including Saint Germain, had surrounded her. (You can visualize those twelve Masters standing on the twelve lines of the Cosmic Clock.) They showed her how she could raise the atomic structure of her physical body into the "pure Electronic Body."
As the process of raising gradually took place, I became more and more aware of blazing light filling my entire body. ... I felt the most marvelous radiant energy surge in and through me, sweeping away every vestige of resistance and imperfection and quickening my consciousness.
I became more and more aware of my Mighty I AM Presence until finally it stood before me visible, tangible, and very real. Steadily and powerfully, I felt my physical body drawn into and enveloped by my glorious God-Self, and when I stepped out of the cemetery, I could scarcely realize how transcendent I had become. The old human, limited activities of my consciousness were raised into that alert sense of freedom and unlimited use of wisdom and power. ... Now [that] I was aware of this greater activity, ... I was shown very clearly ... that I must put it to use. Then came a still fuller sense of the freedom, beauty, joy, and service that I must render to those who still remain unascended.
My first desire was that I might know more of these Ascended Masters who had so lovingly ministered to me. Instantly, one after another stood before me and, without a word being spoken, conveyed their names and thoughts to me. With this marvelous thought-language, there came certain attendant pictures in color and the true interpretation of them. ...
My first experiences, that seemed to me so marvelous, proved to be but fragmentary, compared with what has been revealed since my ascension into this far greater and more wonderful activity of life. ...
You, beloved ones, do not realize how fortunate you are in having the blessing of the wonderful atomic accelerator, one marvelous result of the love and work of our blessed Saint Germain. Great has been his love, his service, and the gift of himself to humanity.
The beauty and rapid progress of each of you is due to your sincere and intense gratitude. [Gratitude to God and the universe for every single small and great gift you receive daily is truly the key to everlasting life. Cultivate the constant celebration of the virtue of gratitude.] It is the certain pathway to great heights of attainment and the easiest method by which to achieve every good thing. ...
It is because humanity has forgotten to be grateful to Life for all the blessings upon this earth that it has shut the door to peace and become bound by the chains of its own selfishness. ...
The Law of Life is to give, for only by giving one's self can one expand. ...
... One of the tremendous blessings of the ascended state is the entire absence of any criticism or condemnation of human frailties or mistakes. If the student of Light will train himself to forget everything that is useless or that is in any way undesirable, he will ... make rapid progress. ... For the student to drag after him unpleasant memories is but one of the many ways by which he creates, over and over again, the same experiences of misery from which he is really seeking to be free.27
In a dictation delivered on May 13, 1962, through Mark Prophet, Nada Rayborn spoke of her service as an Ascended Lady Master:
Some of you will recall that I was a prima donna and did a great deal of work in connection with opera. ... My song today is a song of the Spirit and my voice may be heard at night in the various retreats when the members of the Great White Brotherhood are assembled together.
For ever so frequently, at the request of beloved Saint Germain and beloved Daniel Rayborn and my son and daughter and others of the ascended hosts, I still stand before the multitude of the hosts ascended and give a rendering to the heart of my own Presence. I pour forth my melodic interpretations of the universe, and I rejoice continually in the privilege of so doing.
Your talents, beloved ones, are never removed from you by your ascension in the Light. They are enhanced, and limitation is removed from them.
The next summer, as Saint Germain had foretold, Daniel Rayborn made his ascension. He prepared for several days at the Cave of Symbols in what Saint Germain called the Chamber of Light. Rex and Nada, Bob and Pearl arrived at the Cave of Symbols on July 26.
During the twenty-seventh, many of the Ascended Masters came, singly and in groups, until all who were to take part in the work had arrived.
At eleven o'clock that night, we were escorted into the electrical chamber, where the marvelous atomic accelerator was waiting. ...
As we entered the chamber, the light within it was intense, yet it held tiny points of more dazzling light that darted to and fro in the atmosphere continually. Rayborn seated himself in the chair, and the twenty-four present formed a circle about the accelerator [twelve pairs of Ascended Masters, perhaps twin flames], Saint Germain standing directly behind him and I just in front. Nada, his twin ray, stood within the circle. When all were ready, Saint Germain commanded the individual attention of each one to be held steady upon the Presence and supremacy of the I AM and that of the Master Jesus.
Suddenly, like a flash of lightning, a circle of the most intense, dazzling, white light surrounded us, drawing steadily toward the chair until it was only about ten feet across. The light within Daniel Rayborn expanded and met the circle of light without. As they touched, he began to rise slowly to a distance of about his own height above the accelerator, the light within him continuing to increase.
Nada, his own twin ray, rose also and drew toward him, passing within the smaller circle of light. They met in divine embrace for a moment. The next instant the face of the Master Jesus shone out in an aura of gold, pink, and blue above them. Inclining their heads toward us and smiling radiantly, they looked upward as a great ray of intense white light descended. [It enveloped] them both in its protecting radiance, blessing their glorious union and hiding them from our sight while they passed beyond all care and limitation into their eternal perfection of Being, clothed in bodies of everlasting light - the robe of immortality - that shines brighter than the sun at noonday.28
The Ascended Master Daniel Rayborn, in his dictation of October 14, 1963, described what he experienced in that glorious moment of his ascension:
Oh, the glory and the surge of power, the supreme blessing, the contact with the angelic host! But above all the great feeling of union with my own Mighty I AM Presence!
I recall the thought that passed through my mind. It was like standing under the sun at noonday and gazing up into the heavens, where not a star was visible, and then suddenly experiencing the hour of midnight and the sky filled with beautiful points of light.
I became aware of regions of the cosmos which up to that moment I had not conceived of. And I felt a wonderful kinship with minds and hearts, a reunion with those from whom I had long suffered absence. ... I knew on the instant that nothing in this world could be compared to the ascension.
... The final thought that passed through my mind as I rose into the great light to be absorbed by it was "Oh, if I could only tell them!" ... And I realized afterward, by reflection, that this thought has filled the mind and consciousness of everyone who has ascended. For all have had the same desire: "Oh, if I could only tell them!"
This is the desire that we of the ascended hosts feel - the desire to reach down into the human consciousness with all of its density, with its suffocating conditions, and to say, "Oh, do put all that you have into your search for your divinity that you might receive the blessing of the ascension at the conclusion of this life!"
Daniel Rayborn concluded his dictation with a special gift. He asked that a golden chair be placed before the altar and said:
I call to the Great Divine Director for the resurgent energies of Christ-accomplishment to be magnified and a beam of direct light-substance to pass through the substance of this chair and to energize it for the space of one hour.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have received permission from the Great White Brotherhood for an action of one percent radiation of the atomic accelerator to be anchored in this chair. We ask you to share it with one another for the coming hour.
This dictation was given at the Dodge House, a hotel in Washington, D.C., where we held our conferences when we lived in Washington. The hotel was later torn down. When the Ascended Master Daniel Rayborn announced this dispensation, the golden chair was placed in front of the lectern, and for a period of one hour everyone who attended the class took turns sitting in it for perhaps a minute or thirty seconds.
It's happened before, it can happen again. Let's pray for such a dispensation. However, if the dispensation is for only an hour, it will be like musical chairs!
Elizabeth Clare Prophet delivered this lecture, "Oh, If I Could Only Tell Them!" before the dictations by the Ascended Master Daniel Rayborn and the Ascended Lady Master Nada Rayborn on April 14, 1995, at Easter Retreat 1995. It has been edited for publication in the Pearls of Wisdom.
