Make the Commitment to Listen to and Obey Your Holy Christ Self
Wake Up! Reforge Your Links with My Heart
My dearly beloved, I choose to enter your being through the ray of gold - the gold of illumination's flame. For we of the ascended hosts and the Darjeeling Council of the Great White Brotherhood have seen that those who know better do better.
Therefore, by the ray of intelligence that is emitted from the Mind of God, I come to show you the better way, the liberating way, the way of the yellow fire mist - yes, the mist that abounds in the crown chakras of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Aye, even the halos of the saints are known to be halos of their Christed illumination.
Therefore, beloved, be not ignorant in spiritual matters. Dedicate time to reading the sacred scriptures of the world and most especially to studying the Teachings of the Ascended Masters. Conclude this time with deep soul-searching and implorings to God.
We have led you on a path that has brought you out of the wilderness of the human consciousness into the realms of the Holy Spirit. We have brought your soul to the altar of the heart, that she might be taught the sacred mysteries and receive divine understanding from your Holy Christ Self.
The fullness of that understanding has come to you in the words and concepts of our dictations as they have been "distilled" in the sacred fire and poured into your chakras, which then act as chalices of the living Word. Thus, when you read the spoken Word as we deliver it to you through our Messengers and then you go beyond the spoken Word to the Source, you begin to understand the meaning of self-transcendence.
Now, there is an Alpha flame and an Omega flame in every dictation. Omega provides the chalice, and Alpha infuses it with the intense fire of the Holy Spirit. Thus, know the meaning of each word-chalice and study the spoken and the written Word.
That is the beginning, but it is not the ending.
You must also offer a prayer to the Maha Chohan, saying:
O Holy Spirit, Maha Chohan, subsume me now into the higher realms of God that I might extract the elixir of each worded matrix that forms the foundation and the superstructure of the pyramid of my life.
Thence take me to the place of the capstone. Take me to the realm of the Holy Spirit that I might know that one day I shall pass through the All-Seeing Eye of God in the capstone unto eternal life.
Value our repetition of basic concepts through the spoken Word, though you may have heard us deliver them again and again. We speak as we speak, for we must bring all to a certain level of spiritual awareness and the internalization of the Word. When we thus bring a group of students to the same rung of the ladder, so to speak, we beckon them to climb the next rung, and by and by the next.
At Maitreya's Mystery School in the etheric octave there are almost as many grades as there are students. Upon arrival, each student enters the grade to which his mentor assigns him, the grade where he can make the best progress. Some chelas are outstanding in one area and others are outstanding in another, but all can gain rapidly in their self-mastery and make steady strides on their spiritual path.
At Maitreya's Mystery School there are also groups of souls who have worked together and climbed the mountains of their karma together for thousands of years. Such as these form a mandala, i.e., a design made up of their unique soul patterns. They complement and strengthen each other as they, too, work out their salvation and their karma in Maitreya's etheric retreat.
The Coming of the Spirit of the LORD: The Promise Fulfilled
I come in this hour, for it is the Spirit of the LORD whom I embody and whom I represent and therefore who I AM. For God has bestowed upon me the mantle of the Holy Spirit that I might fully exercise it on behalf of earth's evolutions. And thus I tell you that the promised coming of the Spirit of the LORD1 is unto you this day!
Know that it is by the LORD's Spirit that the worlds were framed and the very earth upon which you live was created. Even so did the Spirit of God breathe the breath of life into man's nostrils and man became a living soul.
Who art thou, O man, that I am mindful of thee this day?2
I am mindful of thee, for thou hast lost thine immortality.
The Saving of Your Soul Is Your Priority
We come to address you at the Place of Great Encounters, and we find the sons and daughters of God and the mankind of earth in a precarious position. They are standing on a precipice, about to make ultimate choices of life and death, yet they are not clear in their minds as to which way to go. Understand, beloved, that those who know not the way to go are not in touch with their souls.
The Messenger has again reminded you to, above all, save your soul! Save your soul! And it is through your Holy Christ Self that you save your soul.
Through prayer, meditation, dynamic decrees and acts of charity, your soul is destined to rise to the level of your Holy Christ Self. But first you must pull up your soul to the level of your heart chakra, thence to the secret chamber of your heart.
Take her in your arms, then bathe her in light and soothe her and anoint her with a healing balm. Then call to the attending angels to adorn her in her wedding garment so that the Lord Christ may raise her to his throne and claim her as his Bride.
Many of you have much to do before you are ready to be Brides of Christ. Therefore know that the saving of your soul is your priority. And in the course of saving your soul you shall learn many disciplines. These in turn will open the paths of your psychology and your astrology. But to perfect life's disciplines and to master your psychology and your astrology, you may have to go over and over the meandering paths of your karma until you find the key to your soul's liberation.
As you recite your violet-flame decrees in the course of your soul-searching, you will glimpse past karma, good and bad, that has precipitated the present circumstances of your life. And, mind you well, the negative circumstances will be projected on the screen of the future unless you see to it that the karmic tares are separated from the good wheat and are consumed by the sacred fire of the Holy Spirit.
So, you see, you need that sacred fire, and if you would have it, you must call upon me! I am known as the Divine Helper, and I bring enlightenment to those who sincerely seek it that they might become soul healers. I bring the dove of the Holy Spirit to my chelas that they might align their souls and their chakras and teach others to do the same.
"Let Love be the dividing of the way!" Thus spoke my Chela Paul the Venetian.3 Let Love always be the dividing of the way! Yes, the dividing of the way between Light and Darkness, Good and Evil, Love and Anti-Love.
Where there is love, then, let love be undivided. But where there is a divided love or no love at all, depart from that loveless way, part the veil of maya and expose the forces of Anti-Love! Then immediately magnify the Lord of Love and his living flame of Love so that the way of Love will not be defiled.
Blessed hearts, the Divine Pity reaches even the lowliest of earth's evolutions. Therefore do not shun the meek and the lowly; for if they are worthy of the Divine Pity, then you may know in your darkest moments that you, too, are worthy of the Divine Pity. And in so knowing, you shall not despair.
When you stray from the path of Love, you immediately distance yourself from me, from the white-fire flame and the comfort flame that you find chaliced on the altar of my retreat at Sri Lanka. I am always with you, but I draw nigh to those who draw nigh to me in right mindfulness, in uplifting speech and in purity of heart. Liberate the mind from all mind-sets and let your spirit soar and be free!
I am in the presence of Victory's chalice. The chalice of Victory contains the universe. In that chalice is a golden pulsating unfed flame. And so we come full circle to the subject of the golden flame of illumination. We come to it again and again. For in order to make right choices, you must study the Word until you have become the Word. And when you are that Word, you can be counted on to deliver the Word.
Souls of Light Who "Measure Up" Receive the Blessings of the Angels of the Holy Spirit
I, then, direct angels of the Holy Spirit who have come for this occasion to hover over you. And John the Beloved, who stands before you on this platform, receives again "a reed like unto a rod"; and the angel again says to him, "Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and them that worship therein."4
Thus, all souls of light in the earth are being measured according to their service to God and his people. Those who do not measure up are confined to the outer court of the Temple of God. Those who do measure up shall receive, with you, the blessings of the angels of the Holy Spirit in this moment.
In the presence of these angels, breathe in deeply the breath of the Holy Spirit and then breathe it out. And let your inbreathing and outbreathing be of equal measure. Yes, breathe in the sacred fire breath of God until it absorbs and consumes the toxins lodged in the body cells and clears the mind of its debris. Then breathe out the sacred fire breath and begin again.
Do this exercise daily in multiples of nine and observe the joy and resiliency that fill your body and soul.
A Petition to Alpha and Omega for the Illumination of All Servants of God
O Alpha and Omega, I, the Maha Chohan, plead before the Court of the Sacred Fire for the illumination of all servants of God of this world and of all worlds of the Matter universe!
I call for a dispensation from the Great Central Sun for the numbers of angels of the Second Ray already serving in the earth to be multiplied ten million times one hundred million! I also call for angelic reinforcements from Helios and Vesta to intensify the golden yellow sun rays in the minds and bodies of earth's children.
I send a signal to the four corners of the Spirit-Matter Cosmos for angels of the Sun God, the Father-Mother God, Alpha and Omega, and the God and Goddess Meru to come to earth for the rescue of souls. I ask you to come to earth to enlighten this people.
I come before thee, O Alpha and Omega, to request this dispensation on behalf of our Two Witnesses, our children, our sons and our daughters and those who keep the flame of Life, even the fire breath of the Holy Spirit.
And I ask you who are in attendance at this conference to write your own petitions this day in support of my petition to Alpha and Omega to send angelic reinforcements who will reinforce illumination's flame in the minds and hearts of the people. Yes, ask Alpha and Omega to send them forth! For there must be enlightenment amidst this people!
And there must be enlightenment especially for our children and teenagers, that they not enter into the folly of experimentation with recreational drugs, alcohol, nicotine and all manner of toxic substances, medications and foods (particularly all forms of sugar) that are not fit for human consumption. Indeed, enlightenment must come so that the one and the many may recognize that they must depart from all of this if they would live to fulfill their immortal destiny in the twenty-first century.
Souls Need the Continuity of the Teachings
Truly we see the repetition of the evils of the Cain civilization and those of the last days of Lemuria before that continent sank beneath the Pacific Ocean twelve thousand years ago. We see the evildoers and their evil momentums revisiting modern civilization and poisoning the souls of people of all ages.
And I tell you who are old souls but know not that you are old souls: the fact that you recall the ancient path of your soul journey the moment you pick up one of our books in a bookstore should tell you that you are indeed old souls. And you carry with you a rich spiritual heritage that you have drawn from your many lifetimes in the Lemurian and Atlantean civilizations.
For you were there but sometimes you allowed yourselves to be swept away in the current of the times. And some of the things you did in past incarnations which you have also done in this life have been harmful to society, to yourselves and to the young who looked to you then and who look to you today to uphold the standards of the Brotherhood's cosmic honor flame.
There is no guarantee that simply because you experienced exalted states of consciousness long, long ago you will experience such exalted states today, given the secular influences and the shallow-pan modern-day religions. It is deplorable that this civilization does not encapsulate for you the best and the highest offerings of past ages that you might build upon the foundations of the past in all areas of human knowledge.
When you reincarnate you are given a new body into which the soul descends to work out her salvation. But that is not enough. You need soul teachers who will teach your soul the path of her ascent to God. For the pure in heart who desire to see God are often led astray. And they go the way of the worldly, who follow the pied piper deeper and deeper into the bowels of the earth until they reach the bottomless pit and cannot find their way back to the light of day.
O beloved ones, what an outrage! What an infamy! What a crime before the Almighty that so many of earth's evolutions have had to take the grade over and over and over again for want of having had the continuity of the Teachings lifetime after lifetime! If they had had the Teachings, they would have known to listen to the inner voice of their Holy Christ Self.
Make the Commitment to Listen to and Obey Your Holy Christ Self
And I ask each of you who have had the Teachings: Have you listened to the inner voice of your Holy Christ Self and have you obeyed? Yes, you have. But I say, there have also been times when you have not obeyed that inner voice. And when you do not obey it, you suffer dire consequences that sometimes carry over into the next life and the next. And you know it, for you have paid dearly for your disobedience.
Thus, I ask: How many of you have neglected to be obedient to the voice within? Fear not to raise your hand, for I wager all have done this. I ask you to raise your hand so that you might publicly confess before this altar that you have at times disobeyed your Holy Christ Self. And therefore make your commitment now to your beloved Holy Christ Self and to your brothers and sisters on the Path that you will listen and you will obey. [Members of the congregation raise their hands.]
If you are going to listen to your Holy Christ Self, then you must tune in to your Holy Christ Self. And if you are going to tune in to the Christ consciousness, then you must tune out the consciousness of the world! It is one or the other, is it not, beloved? [Congregation responds: "Yes!"]
Since you agree, I suggest that you tune out the world for an hour a day and tune in to the sacred teachings you once received from the temple priests on Atlantis and from the Manus whose abodes were in the Himalayas. The akashic records are there for your reading if you are able and willing to decipher them under the guidance of your Holy Christ Self, who has all knowledge of the heaven above and the earth beneath.
You can also petition the LORD God to send Justinius, Captain of Seraphic Hosts, with his legions of seraphim to search the akashic records with your recording angel and to deliver to you the tally of exactly how many times you have disobeyed your Holy Christ Self since you departed from Eden and the heaven-world.
Your descent from the perfection of the etheric octave was gradual. But there came a day, and that day is recorded in your book of life, when you no longer hesitated to disobey or override or even silence the voice of your Holy Christ Self. Your soul went the way of all flesh, and you were consigned to work out in the physical octave the karma of disobedience you had made with your Holy Christ Self.
Now the day has come when you desire with your whole heart to bend the knee before your Holy Christ Self and say:
My beloved Holy Christ Self, I will listen to your voice and I will obey you, no matter what. I will not argue with you. I will not deny your voice. I will not drown it out with my human reason or my human desires or my human preferences.
Yes, I will seek you, my Holy Christ Self. I will seek the Rock of my Christhood. And I ask that my human consciousness be broken upon that Rock, once and for all, so that I might have my victory.
And in having that victory, may I remain in the earth in good health and in soundness of mind that God in me might deliver those souls who must also have their victory over their disobedience to the promptings of their Holy Christ Self.
I pray especially for those souls who are weak in body and weak in mind and weak in spirit that they might have their victory over the flesh as well as over all disobedience to their Holy Christ Self.
Your Calling: To Save a Friend ... and the World
Oh yes, beloved. I have examined the records of your lifestreams, each one, with the permission of your Holy Christ Self. I know the caliber of those who are here and those who are my students in this activity around the world. And I tell you, there are very few among you who do not have the capacity to wax strong in the fervor of your Lord and of your Mighty I AM Presence and to declare:
I will not compromise! I will enter into a holy communion with the Holy Spirit. I will dip into that golden pink glow ray and I will say:
Almighty God, I will go after that one, my friend, and I will shake him awake! And I will show him the consequences of taking the left-handed path through his succumbing to the temptations of the Tempter.
This is your calling, beloved: to save a friend and another and another. Feel the strength of God mounting in your inner being! Feel the desire of God intensifying in your solar plexus to save many friends and ultimately the world!
Yes, saving souls is the true desire of your heart. And in your heart's desire you have increased the breadth and depth of your love for all souls, beginning with your own. For if you do not love your own soul and your own inner child, you will not have the capacity to love the soul and inner child of another.
Now feel again the strength of God mounting in your being. It is the power he is giving you in this very moment to overcome all obstacles to your victory. It is the action of the Light that he is activating within you now. Pause a moment to receive it and then let "blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be unto our God for ever and ever."5
This is reality! And all else is a chimera. All else will take you hither and thither; and once you allow yourself to be tossed and tumbled in the lower astral planes, you will lose your moorings in the Spirit and your inner compass. And then how and when will you ever get back to your God-center? How long has it been since you left Lemuria - twenty-five thousand years? fifteen thousand years? How long has it been since you walked the shores, the city streets and the mountains of Atlantis?
Considering the aeons during which your soul has journeyed outside the Father's kingdom, ponder how many years it will take you to again find the Path and the Teachings of the Ascended Masters if you forfeit your opportunity to follow them today.
And when you find the Path, will it be denied you because millennia ago you forsook it? And will the Great Law require that you must first balance percentages of your karma before an Ascended Master may lawfully sponsor you again?
To know the answer, search your soul.
For I come to shake you awake! And when you awake, in the night or in the day, I will send piercing rays of illumination's flame until you are so hungry for the Word of God and the Teachings that, if you have to, you will even read by candlelight. And you will read for the glory of God. And you will know what is the way and you will walk in it. And you will make the decision to no longer veer to the right or to the left.
You Are Too Comfortable in Your Path
Blessed ones, as you know, our July conferences are held in a lush meadow in the Heart of the Inner Retreat, at an altitude of 6,400 feet. When you go forth from this Western abode of the Buddha and descend to the major cities, often at sea level, somehow the distance between the Heart and your hometown makes it seem that you are very far in time and space and in consciousness from this "Place of Great Encounters," set aside by God long ago for your victory.
And by and by the words we have spoken become fainter and fainter and the message is less clear in your minds; and unless you maintain your decree momentum, you very soon find yourselves embroiled in the day-to-day affairs of the human consciousness. And in the course of interacting with people, some who have no light at all, you realize that there are those who function like a vacuum cleaner: they will instantaneously take up your light until you are empty and they are full!
Well, beloved, the day will come when you will have to fly solo - sans Messenger, sans conference, sans reinforcements. You, the lonely one, climbing Mount Everest, as it were, to meet your God. And will it not be the challenge of your entire existence?
I tell you, it shall be. For upon that mountain, beloved, you will face fire and flood and demons and temptations, as did the Lord Gautama when he was in meditation under the Bo tree.
Do not think that you will always have the reinforcement of many devoted hearts when you are confronted with ultimate tests and temptations. One day you will stand alone before God, and behind you will be the Devil. And you will wage war within and without as the Lord Christ did prior to his crucifixion.
And either you will win or you will not. It will not be a "partly" or a "maybe." You will be the winner or you will be the loser! Remember my word, beloved, because for some my prophecy may come to pass sooner than they think.
I speak in this vein, beloved, because you are too comfortable in your path, too comfortable as you lean upon the Masters or the Messenger or friends, when you should be leaning upon the Rock of Christ and your Mighty I AM Presence. No, beloved, do not let yourself be too comfortable; for nothing in this life is permanent. Recall, then, the words of the author of Hebrews:
Remember your leaders, who preached the word of God to you, and as you reflect on the outcome of their lives, imitate their faith.
Jesus Christ is the same today as he was yesterday and as he will be for ever.
Do not let yourselves be led astray by all sorts of strange doctrines: it is better to rely on grace for inner strength. ...
Jesus ... suffered outside the gate to sanctify the people with his own blood.
Let us go to him, then, outside the camp, and share his degradation.
For there is no eternal city for us in this life but we look for one in the life to come. ...
Keep doing good works and sharing your resources, for these are sacrifices that please God.6
And rest assured that you must strengthen yourself, your spirit and your soul, for none other can do it for you. So states the spiritual law of your being.
The Initiation of the Eclipse of the Sun of Your I AM Presence Blessed ones, you will come to the day when you will experience a total eclipse of the Sun of your I AM Presence, just as Jesus did when he was nailed to the cross. Though the full glory of the resurrection and the ascension were to follow if he would pass the initiation of the crucifixion, the outcome was not certain.
For Jesus, like all men, had free will. Therefore in the Garden of Gethsemane he pleaded with the Father: "If thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless, not my will but thine be done."7
The crucifixion was Jesus' most strenuous initiation - his solo. If he would conquer Death and Hell for all time and restore to the sons and daughters of God the flame of immortality (which they had lost when, for their disobedience, the LORD God, Maitreya, had banished them from Eden), he must subject himself to the Dark Night of the Spirit.
Even though Jesus knew this initiation would come and must come, he could not foreknow the agony that would grip his soul. Suddenly he was completely cut off from the one he called Father. All he had to go on was his Christhood and the Presence of the I AM THAT I AM that he had internalized throughout that embodiment and all his prior embodiments on earth.
And therefore Jesus cried out: "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"8 for even the Son of God could not anticipate the total soul abandonment he would experience on Good Friday at three o'clock and continuing until his resurrection at dawn on Easter Sunday.
The Great Law required that the Son of God, by the mantle of his Christhood, annihilate Death and Hell for his own. What the Lord did for us, we must do for others. "For the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister and to give his life a ransom for many."9 In his name let us minister to his own, and in his footsteps let us give our "life a ransom for many."
Further, in that Dark Night on the cross, Jesus, the Son of God, was obliged by cosmic law to hold the balance for all earth's evolutions, past, present and to come during the 2,150-year dispensation of the Piscean age, which began approximately at his birth. In conclusion, Jesus was the Wayshower to all sons and daughters of God who would come after him and submit themselves to the initiations of the crucifixion, the resurrection and the ascension as he did.
I Will Show You How to Have Courage:
I Will Show You How to Be Shepherds
So, beloved, strengthen yourself for the soul testings that will surely come. Mind the cycles of the hours, the days and the years. Mind the cycles of your astrology as you chart your stars on the Cosmic Clock. For you have many a challenge ahead ere you balance 100 percent of your karma and attain your immortality.
But your victory will be bittersweet if you leave behind billions of souls who, bereft of teachers such as yourselves, have no shepherds to turn to and who are without recourse to the Ascended Masters, whom they do not know and have never even heard of.
I tell you, every avatar experiences the anguish that comes from having to leave behind so many souls who have so many needs. Nevertheless, the Great Law requires that all must move onward and upward in the chain of hierarchy. But you who must yet tarry in the earth can indeed reach out to the millions in your prayers.
I say, first have the courage to be and then you will have the courage to be shepherds! I will show you how to have courage. And I will show you how to be shepherds. For I have been a shepherd in many lifetimes, caring for the sheep on the hillsides while praying to God to deliver me that I might bring deliverance to his own whom he entrusted to my care.
And in the midst of my implorings to the Godhead, I was often taken up out of the body into the heaven-world and escorted by angels to academies of the Spirit where, under the tutelage of the one who held the office of Maha Chohan before me, I qualified myself to wear the mantle of the Holy Spirit.
Now you must qualify yourself for your personal calling in God. And as Jesus claimed his mantle, so you must claim your mantle, whatever that mantle is or shall be, and you must affirm that mantle with conviction: "The Spirit of the LORD GOD is upon me ..."
Without that mantle, beloved - and, again, if you would have it, you must claim it - you are bereft, yes, bereft of the succor and the life-giving essences of God that are bestowed upon you only through the mantle. Therefore, I recommend that you commit to memory the words of Isaiah 61:1-3, read in part by Jesus in the synagogue at Nazareth:
The Spirit of the LORD GOD is upon me
Because the LORD hath anointed me to preach
good tidings unto the meek
He hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And the opening of the prison to them
that are bound
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD
And the day of vengeance of our God
To comfort all that mourn
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion
To give unto them beauty for ashes
The oil of joy for mourning
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness
That they might be called trees of righteousness,
the planting of the LORD,
that he might be glorified.10
As Christ descended to earth, so the Spirit descended to earth. The Spirit was there from the genesis of worlds. And the Spirit shall be there in the dissolution of worlds. See to it that when the worlds enter the cycle of dissolution, beloved, you will have so established your identity in God that your soul will not be pulled into the vortex of worlds dissolving and souls disintegrating. Yes, see to it that you will have so garnered the sacred fire of being that you might preserve an identity in God!
Make It Your Goal to Qualify as a Chela, with a Capital C
At the edge of the vast Absaroka wilderness, you have raised up the tabernacle of the LORD and set up camp. "What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?"11 No, not a reed but a rod of God, bearing the fierceness of God, who, at your call, shall strip you of all nonessentials and restore to you the beauty of your original Selfhood.
When you find an Ascended Master or an Archangel who is willing to take you on as a chela, honor him; for without him it is possible that you may not accomplish the mission God has called you to in this life.
Know, then, beloved, that that sponsorship should mean the world to you, for without a sponsor you are limited on your spiritual path. To qualify for sponsorship under an Ascended Master as a true Chela, with a capital C, ought to be the goal of every lightbearer on earth.
And why is this not the goal of all?
It is because not all see. As the saying goes: "There are none so blind as those who will not see." The eyes of some of you are blinded. You do not see, beloved! And therefore you do not yearn for that which you do not see. Thus, I pierce your eyes with needle rays and I bathe them with the holy oil of the Second Ray and I soothe them with special unguents - that you might behold Reality!
Now open your eyes and behold the living God!
Open your eyes and behold the victory of your soul!
Open your eyes and look around you and recognize those who are Chelas with a capital C. Their tie to their sponsor is established through the pattern of the figure eight as the spiritual energies flow perpetually between the Master and the Chela, crisscrossing at the nexus of the figure eight. One who has this spiritual sponsorship or anticipates receiving it will surely not compromise his relationship to his sponsor by allowing human discord to come between him and the Master.
Therefore, understand that to the one who diligently qualifies himself to be a chela of an Ascended Master or an Archangel, the door of opportunity is always open. The question here is: What are the various levels of qualification that an aspiring chela must meet in order to earn his stripes?
Some who suppose they are qualified are not even ready for boot camp. For glaring reasons that should be obvious to them but are not, these students are not prepared to present themselves as chelas who can take the first steps under El Morya.
The Master K.H. once wrote to an aspiring chela, who was a student of Theosophy:
To accept any man as a chela does not depend on my personal will. It can only be the result of one's personal merit and exertions in that direction. Force any one of the "Masters" you may happen to choose; do good works in his name and for the love of mankind; be pure and resolute in the path of righteousness (as laid out in our rules); be honest and unselfish; forget your self but to remember the good of other people - and you will have forced that "Master" to accept you.12
I say, do not daydream about being a Master's chela. Wake up! There is far more to the process than simply declaring, "I am your chela, El Morya." For when you so say, El Morya will say to you, "Prove it! Prove it!" And that is when you enter the path of proving yourself to the Guru whom you would espouse.
And so, with all sincerity you strive to serve God and uphold your commitment to your would-be sponsor. But by and by you are tested and the soul testings get harder and the burden of your karma is heavy, and in the midst of your zeal you forget the promises you have made to your Guru-to-be.
Then the sinister force convinces you that you have "failed," even though you haven't failed at all. You have just experienced your first setback on the most difficult path and in the most rigorous disciplines to which you or anyone has ever willingly submitted himself.
But if you do not know this, you may be trapped by the sinister force into accepting its condemnation of you. And if you do accept its condemnation, you may say to yourself, "What's the use? I might as well go back to the world."
If you so allow your mind to be pulled by the undertow of the underworld, it will pull you this way and that. And the more its denizens have you in their grasp, the easier it is for the voices of the deep to convince you that you are not worthy to return to your calling in God.
So it is. So it is, beloved. How forgetful is the human mind! It is so forgetful that if you do not record in your journal the experiences you have had with God and his angels, with Ascended Masters and Cosmic Beings in or out of the body or during sleep, you are likely to forget them.
You are likely to forget the messages we deliver to you. You are likely to forget what it feels like to be in this tabernacle in my aura in this moment. You are likely to dissipate the sublime energies of the Holy Spirit that I tuck in your heart and soul. And so when you are once again in the valleys of decision, you yearn to feel and imbibe the love elixir of the Holy Spirit.
Seriously, beloved, if the would-be chela cannot remember for a moment or a day a promise that he has made to God or a promise that God has made to him, then I say, what a pity! What a pity not to be able to repeat a mantra again and again, enflaming it with the love fires of one's heart, or not to be able to infuse the same sacred rituals day after day with renewed joy and enthusiasm instead of with the rote that some students allow themselves to fall into.
Wake Up! Reforge Your Links with My Heart
I say to all out of the depths of the ruby ray:
When you call upon me, beloved, I will answer. But if you have left off calling upon me for centuries, you may have to call upon me on your knees in fervent prayer a hundred times or more into the night. Yes, you may have to call upon me until you shall have reforged the links that once bound you to me but that you have since allowed to rust and crumble in the dust.
That one hundred times or more may be what it takes, beloved. And if you perceive this to be true, be willing, beloved, be willing. For I cannot help you if you are not ready, willing and able to make restitution for the karma you have made with me or with any part of life over the centuries of your forgetfulness of your first love and of the wonders of God's love.
You must forge chains of love and wisdom and bind them to your heart and mine. And when the chains you are forging reach my heart, you will know it and I will know it. For when you are truly one with my heart, I shall send forth such a flash of yellow lightning that you will know the illumination of which I have spoken earlier in my address.
This I can and shall give you when your chalice of wisdom is fully strengthened to receive it. Look forward to this initiation. Prepare for it. And when you receive it, accept it with all the love of your heart.
I AM the Maha Chohan. If I accept you as my chela, know that you will be pummeled and disciplined. Know also that at the conclusion of your course in this life, you shall rise from this plane of evolution having gained a mastery that is admirable. Yours shall be a mastery of Divine Love. And it shall be self-evident, for you shall see and know that many will hear your voice, many will follow in your footsteps and you shall lead them to the Holy Spirit.
I seal you now! I seal you! I seal you! I seal you!
Now receive that sealing in the forehead which I, the Maha Chohan, bestow upon you personally. And do not compromise the gift I give you by immediately engaging in some kind of criticism, condemnation, judgment or gossip.
Take hold of your thoughts! Take hold of your feelings! And bridle your words! For ye shall not pass into the kingdom of God if you do not correct your sloppy misuse of the spoken Word through the throat chakra.
I will give you a year from today. And when you return, return prepared. For I tell you, I have much to give you and initiations to transfer to you.
In the love of God, Be Victorious! - [36-second standing ovation]

Sections printed in bold italic type highlight fiats, mantras, affirmations, prayers and decrees that you can use in your daily decree sessions. The Messenger recommends that each week when you receive your Pearl of Wisdom, you type or write these out and place them in a special section in your decree book.
