A Cornucopia of Ascended Masters' Teachings
One with Your I AM PresenceHo! I hurl Excalibur! Ho! Ho! Now let the fire of the living flame of my sword separate Light and Darkness, Truth and Nontruth, Justice and Injustice.
I come. And I come with a fierce call to my own, for injustice covers the earth. At one time or another it sweeps through every household. And many, in the course of their lives, are burdened by a self-imposed sense of injustice.
People will not admit that it is they who have brought injustices into their own lives and that it is true Divine Justice that is being meted out to them even in their misfortunes. Instead, they perceive the true and righteous judgments of God to be unjust and they dismiss as fallacy all that is not favorable toward themselves.
When will the nations learn that they are denying their responsibilities in matters of justice and injustice?
I come to you in a fierce mode. And to you who have knowledge and wisdom, to you whose hearts are on fire to save the nations and to save planet earth, I say:
Go out and ignite this world before there is nothing left to ignite! Go out and find those wondrous hearts who are looking for you and hoping that you may even find them before they find you!
Ask yourself: What am I willing to lay on the altar to save a soul? What level of surrender am I willing to go to and what sacrifices am I willing to make for the sake of one soul or ten thousand souls?
Blessed hearts, the four cardinal points of the compass signal the path of the ruby-ray cross. Each of the four points represents one of the four major virtues required of those who walk the path of the ruby ray. These virtues are, in order of the soul's initiation under the ruby-ray Masters:
4- Service through love1
Know that what you see and hear of the doings of the world is but the tip of the iceberg. And, as I have commented to the Messenger this very week, the entire world is built upon the Cain civilization. Taking the lead of Cain, it has espoused the ethic "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth"2 and has denied the individual's responsibility to be his brother's keeper.3
Cain, who denied his God and slew his brother, Abel,4 changed the course of civilization and set the standards of morality at such a low that it was - and still is at the end of this twentieth century - possible to literally commit murder and get away with it. Yes, the Cain-civilization mentality is still upon us!
Not so in the etheric octave. There the golden-age civilizations are in progress under the Christed Ones. In the universities of the Spirit the opportunity for advancement allows many souls to make great strides. And the lessons they learn serve them well when once again they take incarnation on earth for a season.
The Incarnation of Souls of Light:
One of the Key Happenings on Planet Earth
You see, beloved, the incarnation of souls of light is now one of the key happenings on planet earth. The Lords of Karma, together with Holy Justinius and his legions of seraphim, are on the lookout for parents who will give birth to and rear advanced souls who, when they come to the full maturity of their Christhood, will turn this civilization around.
Holy ones of Tibet have passed from the screen of life, brutally tortured and murdered at the hand of the Chinese Communists.5 Let these devotees of Padma Sambhava be brought back - this time to a safe haven in the West! Let them come!
I, for one, am sponsoring souls who have never strayed from the living Christ - no, not since Maitreya walked in the Garden of Eden and they with their twin flames vowed to keep the flame of the Bodhisattva ideal6 unto the hour of earth's victory. I search them out, I call them by name (for my sheep also know my voice), and they follow my Diamond Heart to the Darjeeling stable - because they are willing to do my bidding. For they are Bodhisattvas. And they are indeed able!
And ye are also able! But you must be able to reckon with the equation of Darkness in its myriad manifestations. Likewise, you must be able to reckon with and fulfill the numerous equations that are prerequisites to your full Christhood.
If you do not pursue the issues of Light and Darkness in your world, I fear you will lose not only your earthly portion but also your heavenly portion. And if you lose out in this life, civilization will also lose out because, whether you know it or not, you too are Bodhisattvas in the making and pillars in the temple of our God.7
If you look back in the history of this nation or the nation of your origin, you will find relatively few heroes. Yet those very few, a mere handful, turned the minds of the people and the tides of the battle to the victory because they carried the shield of the Christ and the Buddha in their hearts.
You, too, can be heroes by becoming the masters of yourselves.
To that end, know that I must send each and every one of you on a mission on a certain day and date, and you must be ready.
I, Morya, now touch the tip of my sword Excalibur to the heart of every lifestream upon earth whom I consider worthy of upholding my mission under the aegis of the will of God.
I will go after these holy ones wherever they may be, and I will raise them up and I will set them apart and I will make them holier still.
And, hopefully, you, as their mentors, as their parents, as their brothers and sisters and fellow chelas, will be there as shining examples of the Bodhisattva ideal.
Only your own self-condemnation could cause you to remain at a level of consciousness that you should have long ago risen from. Yes, the very weight of your constant self-criticism has prevented you from rising.
If you were to face the Lords of Karma today, you would discover in your heart and in your being what wondrous recordings have been inscribed by your recording angel in your book of life. So much good have you accomplished, beloved, that you have merited being sought out and brought to this Place of Great Encounters that you might meet the souls of your mandala and together go forth bearing the torch of the Teachings of the Ascended Masters.
Do not think, then, that we of the Darjeeling Council assess your lifestreams as being anything less than conquering heroes and heroines.
Yes, I, El Morya, say to you it is so, and you had better believe it!
For you do not acknowledge that you are conquering heroes and heroines! You do not acknowledge that you have had many, many victories both great and small! Instead you look at yourselves with discouragement and disparagement!
If you continue to do this, then how will you suddenly see yourselves as worthy to go forth and champion the cause of those bright souls who are just waiting, waiting, waiting to meet you? They literally dream of being God-taught by you and of rejoicing in your sense of self-worth, which they in turn will make their own.
Books, as well as the Pearls of Wisdom, Are Vital to Spreading Abroad the Teachings
Beloved, there are many ways whereby we reach people. One of those ways is through the publishing of the Pearls of Wisdom and books on the Teachings of the Ascended Masters. As you well know, the Pearls are taken from the dictations of the Ascended Masters delivered through our Messenger by the agency of the Holy Spirit.
The weekly Pearls are a treasure to all who receive them and internalize their profound meaning. Many recognize the healing of the soul that is transmitted to them from their reading and rereading of these blessed releases, which come from the higher octaves.
However, there does come a time when books are so vital to the spreading abroad of the Teachings to current and succeeding generations that we must set aside for a time the publishing of the Pearls.
Now more than ever, it is important that the audio- and/or videotapes (and eventually the CDs) of our dictations and the Messenger's lectures be in the library of every Study Group and Teaching Center where our students gather to study and attend worship services. For there they can listen to or view the dictations that are not yet published in the Pearls of Wisdom.
Keepers of the Flame can also become members of Lanello's Library of Listening Grace,8 ordering as few or as many audiotapes as they choose and sharing them with family, friends and seekers on the Path. At our centers and in private homes, those who have the Light can share their Light with new students as they teach them how to meditate, recite dynamic decrees and transmute their karma with the violet flame.
As you can see, we must act in an expedient manner. And you must do likewise. I ask you to break the bread of life with fellow seekers on the Path. I ask you to reach out to those who are sincere in their desire to know more about their Mighty I AM Presence, their Holy Christ Self, the violet flame and the science of the spoken Word. And I ask the Messenger to prepare beginning, intermediate and advanced materials, thereby breaking the bread of life for those of all levels of spiritual understanding.
Other Options for Reaching Souls of Light
What are our other options for reaching souls of light? There is satellite. There is network and cable TV. There is the radio talk-show format. There is the print medium. There is the Internet.
Whatever format or formats you choose, do your research and take action when you are ready to meet the needs of those who respond. Make haste, for the seasons fly, the worlds are turning, and the forces of Evil are mounting.
And if you think you have seen the end of Armageddon, I tell you, you have not! For the worst of Armageddon is yet to come. And if you think you have seen the end of cataclysm, I tell you, you have not! For the ultimate cataclysm is yet to come.
Only divine intercession through the prayers and good works of the saints on earth can change this prophecy.
You are the "violet-flame saints" who deliver your violet-flame decrees to the world through your exercise of the science of the spoken Word. Because Saint Germain has placed this gift in your hands, you have the opportunity to assist in the fulfillment of the divine plan of every man, woman and child, every babe in arms!
You who are alive and well on earth, being of sound mind and body and having hearts of gold - you can run with the violet flame and you can thereby make all the difference! By giving your dynamic violet-flame decrees, you can work the works of alchemical change.
You can follow Saint Germain's nine steps to precipitation and observe the tangible results of your experiments in alchemy as he has taught them in his Studies in Alchemy.9
You can stop cataclysm! You can stop total war! You can stop the warring of fallen angels incarnate who are determined to destroy America.
They shall know the vengeance of our God and not his mercy. For Mercy is not their God nor is Justice. Thus when they stand before the Court of the Sacred Fire to hear pronounced their final judgment, they will experience the recompense of the Holy Spirit that shall be upon them for their slaughter of the holy innocents and their abuse of women.
Beware of fanaticism, beloved. As you may know, the term fanaticism in an older usage meant "the state of being possessed by a demon."10 There are many demon-possessed souls in the earth, but in each and every case the lifestream has opened the door to demon possession, hence to fanaticism. All the more reason why you must give the decrees "I Cast Out the Dweller-on-the-Threshold!" the Judgment Call, "Saint Michael the Archangel, Defend Us in Armageddon!" (Pope Leo XIII's Prayer), and other powerful decrees to Archangel Michael.
Let your conversation be "yea, yea" and "nay, nay," for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.11 Therefore sanctify your throat chakra and consecrate it to purity of conversation and right speech that you might utter your fiats in the name and the power of the LORD.
You, One with Your I AM Presence, Can Save the World!
Blessed ones, each one of you gathered here has a Mighty I AM Presence. Do any of you here think that you, one with your I AM Presence, cannot save the world?
Well, I tell you, you can. When you are fully one with your Mighty I AM Presence - body, mind and spirit - you can save the world, beginning with your world. Such a feat may seem awesome to you. And it is awesome. But did not our Lord live in the realm of God's possibilities rather than in the realm of man's possibilities? Then let his words be seared upon your memory: "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."12
If you pray Jesus' "I AM Lord's Prayer" by the hour with profound devotion, you as an individualization of God will gain a momentum of God's power through this prayer and, by and by, the empowerment of your God to turn this civilization around!
Do you believe this? [Congregation responds: "Yes!"]
Believe it, beloved! Believe it! Believe it! One reason you are not having greater victories day after day is that you do not fully believe in your Mighty I AM Presence, in your Holy Christ Self or in your very self!
Now I say, believe in God, believe in your own Christhood and believe in yourself as a God-free being. And if you succeed in doing this, it is possible that you will know an empowerment from the Lord Jesus Christ that you have not known for centuries! Because you have not believed in yourself, you have not allowed yourself to draw upon God's power.
When you deliver a lecture before an audience, large or small, you may feel the Holy Spirit come upon you. And if you do, you will know that God is in command and that, insomuch as he is the all-power of your being, he can speak through you (according to his discretion) so that you may reach every soul in the hall.
You must come to this level of experience and not dillydally away the days and years. You must not forget that you are in the midst of Armageddon and that in God's name you must defeat the forces of Antichrist. Furthermore, there are interplanetary and intergalactic battles which you must engage in at the altar of the Holy Grail as you work on your labors.
As you engage in the warfare of the Spirit, you would do well to follow the example of those who fought in the Revolutionary War for their independence from the British Crown. For they did not withhold even 5 or 10 percent of a life they could have called their own.
They gave their all! They roused themselves! They knew that this would be their finest hour. And many laid down their lives that the thirteen colonies might be free and independent states, while others survived to see the victory at Yorktown.
And I tell you, these were the shining ones of their day; and some have reincarnated a number of times since and others have made their ascension, for they fought the good fight on many battlefields both at home and abroad.
So now, tell me, beloved: Do you believe in yourselves?
[Congregation responds: "Yes!"]
Then act on that belief and reaffirm it daily! Soon your belief will ripen into a mature faith and trust in your Mighty I AM Presence. And by and by your belief, your faith and your trust in God will unfold the flowers of hope and charity. And these shall be fused into fearlessness flame!
Then let fearlessness flame forge a sword of Christ-determination so that if there is something that must be done for the cause of personal and planetary freedom, there will not be a moment's hesitation in your response. Finally, when you know your cause is just, lean upon the arm of the LORD, and you will have your successes. You will have your victories.
And victories beget victories! And I, El Morya, call you to have your victories now, for we cannot wait any longer!
A Great Boon for Saint Germain as Teaching Centers and Study Groups around the World
Tie In to King Arthur's Court via Telephone Patch
Do you understand, beloved, what can happen when your Teaching Center or Study Group takes the step to connect to this altar directly through a telephone patch?13
Well, I will tell you what can happen:
At the moment that a dictation is being delivered in King Arthur's Court, you can instantaneously magnetize to your sanctuaries the Electronic Presences of the Messenger and the Ascended Master who is speaking through her. This is what the miracle of Saint Germain's technology can facilitate. And what a great boon it is for our beloved Master as he extends his teachings throughout the world by this means!
Four centers in the United States are connected to this altar through a telephone patch. And I tell you, those who are sitting in their sanctuaries and hearing me now with no delay know that the Electronic Presences of the Messenger and me are simultaneously here and there. Therefore, let us ring the earth with telephone feeds and let each Teaching Center and Study Group tie in through their own telephone patch as it becomes possible.
Let every center around the world take advantage of this opportunity. And let us send teams to the major cities and let them open centers where spiritual seekers can learn about the Teachings of the Ascended Masters.
And where two or three - or five or fifty or one hundred - are gathered in the name of Jesus Christ and Gautama Buddha, there will be the anchoring of the Electronic Presences not only of the Messenger and the Ascended Master who is delivering the dictation but also of the chelas at the Royal Teton Ranch. And there will also be the anchoring of the spiritually charged forcefield of the entire ranch.
When the tying together of all our centers worldwide via phone patch is complete (yet it will never truly be complete since new groups are forming daily), we will be able to open our doors to more and more seekers. And, united as one, we shall stand, face and conquer the dark forces as we neutralize nests of negativity and the work of evildoers in the cities of the world!
God bless you who are in the field hearing me now!
This is indeed a great beginning. Communications technologies are accelerating the spreading of the Teachings of the Ascended Masters by their devotees. Unfortunately, as long as there are fallen angels stalking the planet, the telecommunications media will be abused. But with dedication, you can constructively use the media to produce a worldwide alchemy whereby the Ascended Masters become a household word - and their teachings are on every tongue.
Saint Germain, who smiles upon you now, has much to say to you. I have much to say to you also, beloved. But to state my thoughts in brief, I would simply give the fiat of the Lord of the First Ray: Be thou made whole!
Wilt thou be made whole, beloved?
[Congregation responds: "Yes!"]
I raise my hand and to you and to all who are connected to this conference by telephone patch and to you who are attuned with me in heart or in spirit and to all on the planet who know me and are one with me - I, El Morya, flash to you the blueprint of Adam Kadmon.14 I place that blueprint over you. I place the blueprints of the ten sefirot15 over you. And I say, if you can accept this dispensation, then know that in this moment you are made whole.
And if sometimes your thoughts stray and you think to yourself, "I am not whole," erase that thought and affirm your wholeness aloud, saying "I AM whole!"
For you are made in the image and likeness of God. You are made in the image and likeness of Adam Kadmon. And you, beloved, have that original blueprint stamped on your etheric body. And all else that you may have superimposed upon that blueprint that is holding you back is only an overlay. It is not the reality. It is not the reality of your being!
You are not necessarily your parents' image of you. Nor are you the creature of the dysfunctional home they may have brought you up in. This was not and is not your reality! This was your circumstance, your karmic circumstance, I say! And I gave it to you to toughen you, to strengthen you, that when you saw there was a job to do and you heard my call, you would come! you would follow my lead! And you did!
You came with the crutches of your psychology, and one fine day you threw those crutches away. For you no longer needed any crutch of any kind. You walked out of your karmic circumstance into the New Day of your soul's salvation unto God.
Know who you are every day. Know that you are God. This is the ultimate truth and the ultimate mystery. I say to you, Keepers of the Flame of God, one and all: Know that you are God! And understand this through the words of the psalmist:
God standeth in the congregation of the mighty. He judgeth among the gods:
"How long will ye judge unjustly and accept the persons of the wicked?
"Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
"Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked."
They know not, neither will they understand. They walk on in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are out of course.
I have said, "Ye are gods, and all of you are children of the most High.
"But ye shall die like men and fall like one of the princes."
Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
When you know the meaning of this psalm, you will know your reality as God's reality and God's reality as your own, even as Jesus knew that God's reality was vested in him. And did he not say, quoting this very scripture:
Is it not written in your law, "I said, Ye are gods"?
If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came and the scripture cannot be broken, say ye of him whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into the world, "Thou blasphemest," because I said, "I am the Son of God"?
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
And when you have memorized Jesus' words and internalized them and made them your own, I will send you to the four corners of the earth. And we will have the promised victory.
Yes, we will have that victory! We will turn around defeat! We will not see this planet overturned once more by the fallen angels! For you shall have made yourselves whole, and our whole ones will be in place!
I am counting on you! And I command my legions to reinforce you, to tutor you, to love you and to bring you to the throne of God's grace!
[30-second standing ovation. Messenger and congregation give the salutation:]
Hail, El Morya! Hail, El Morya! Hail, El Morya! Hail, El Morya!
Hail, El Morya! Hail, El Morya! Hail, El Morya! Hail, El Morya!
I AM Lord's Prayer by Jesus Christ
Our Father who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Hallowed be Thy name
Hallowed be Thy name, I AM.
I AM Thy Kingdom come
I AM Thy Will being done
I AM on earth even as I AM in heaven,
I AM giving this day daily bread to all
I AM forgiving all Life this day even as
I AM also all Life forgiving me,
I AM leading all men away from
temptation
I AM delivering all men from every
evil condition
I AM the Kingdom
I AM the Power and
I AM the Glory of God in eternal,
immortal manifestation -
All this I AM
"The Summit Lighthouse Sheds Its Radiance O'er All the World to Manifest as Pearls of Wisdom."
The five-day conference Padma Sambhava: The Call Compels the Answer was held October 5 through 9, 1995, at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. This dictation by El Morya was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood, Elizabeth Clare Prophet, on Sunday, October 8, 1995. Before the dictation, "Pomp and Circumstance," opus 39, Military March no. 1 in D Major, by Elgar, was played as the meditation music. The dictations by Jesus Christ and El Morya are available on audiocassette with the preceding service: total 90 min., $7.50 plus $2.75 postage and handling, B95093P. [N.B. This dictation was edited for print by the Messenger under El Morya's direction.] Throughout these notes PoW is the abbreviation for Pearls of Wisdom.
El Morya and His Chelas Tipped the Scales
For nearly two years, the Teaching Centers and Study Groups in time zone 18 have worked together in a coordinated effort to fulfill El Morya's stated objective of placing his Presence in the cities for the saving of the cities and the saving of the nations.1 We total the El Morya's Day vigil decree hours throughout our zone each month, publish a bimonthly newsletter dedicated to the purposes of El Morya and, in general, strive to maintain our enthusiasm for this cause. At the 1994 summer conference we manned an El Morya's Day table in the cafeteria tent in the Heart; as a result, the effort is underway to similarly organize time zones 19, 20 and 21.
I would like to submit the following article, recently published in The El Morya Report newsletter, as a testimonial to the power of beloved El Morya in our cities:
"Detroit and the five other cities winning the federal government's massive empowerment zone sweepstakes had to have more than luck on their side," proclaimed the Detroit News on 12-21-94, announcing the results of a fierce, 19-month, multimillion dollar competition between 78 cities nationwide. Taking into account that five of the six winning cities are in time zone 18, it's obvious that El Morya and his chelas are what tipped the scales in this race!
In a nationwide competition that could have been dreamed up in the Darjeeling Council chambers, the Empowerment Zone Initiative, announced by the Clinton Administration in May 1993, invited all U.S. cities to submit applications for prizes consisting of millions of dollars in grants and tax breaks.
The initiative was described as a new economic revival plan that would give cities the funding and flexibility to develop step-by-step plans to generate business, create jobs and improve life in the nation's worst neighborhoods. Applications had to show proof that local governments and corporations of the cities applying would accept the responsibility of revitalizing their most blighted areas.
Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, New York City, and Philadelphia-Camden N.J. are the six winning cities (judged on the strength of their applications), which will each receive $100 million in grants plus tax breaks for businesses that locate or expand in their empowerment zone areas. All but Chicago are in time zone 18.
Haven't we in time zone 18 been championing our beloved El Morya's cause, month after month for nearly two years now, dedicating our efforts for the saving of the cities so that the nations can be saved? And what indeed is the Empowerment Zone Initiative, but a federally-funded project to revitalize and reclaim the most ravaged areas of the nation's cities!
Chelas of El Morya, let's celebrate another victory, in the name of our Chief!
On October 8, 1994, El Morya announced: "This night I place my Electronic Presence over you each one, over each one in the world who calls himself a Keeper of the Flame and who is a Keeper of the Flame, each one who may read our books, who may read our Pearls, those affiliated and those not affiliated. You see, there are many bright and fiery blue-flame souls in the world, beloved, and I place my Electronic Presence over them also" (Pearls of Wisdom, vol. 37, no. 40).
We in time zone 18 were gratified that our efforts may have contributed to this mighty dispensation. After many months of dedicated effort, we could claim El Morya's Presence not in our cities alone but all throughout the earth!
The recent announcement of the six winning cities in the Empowerment Zone Initiative, five of which are in time zone 18, was like icing on the cake. The Detroit Teaching Center has spearheaded the time zone 18 coordination effort; and the Detroit application in the 78-city contest was hailed by the federal government as the top application, a model for the nation. Coincidence?
Praise God, praise El Morya! It has been exhilarating working on this cause these two years! The El Morya's Day vigils (as well as those to Omri-Tas, Saint Germain and Surya) are for many of us the highlight of our month. We are so grateful for the opportunity to reap a mighty harvest of Light, and we are grateful to you, Mother, for making it possible for us to partake of this feast of joy.
All love and gratitude in Christ, I AM
I want to thank you and El Morya for accepting me as a Permanent Staff member. I want to tell you something that has happened that I believe is a direct result of El Morya's intercession.
I have had scoliosis (a bad curvature of the spine) for many years. Dr. has treated me and the condition is stable, so it doesn't cause me day-to-day problems. Several weeks ago he treated me and the condition was pretty much the same.
Yesterday, however, he gave me a treatment and said there had been a dramatic improvement! He couldn't understand how there had been such a visible change in only a few weeks. The thought that came to me was "El Morya fixed my back." The only thing that is different in my life since I last saw the doctor is that I am now a Permanent Staff member.
I am truly grateful because, even though the condition was stable, it could have caused me problems in the future. I feel that El Morya has given me a grace so that I can serve better.
A Suicide Averted by Mother's Intercession
I thought you would like to hear of a "Lifeline to the Presence" phone call I received recently from a young man in Michigan who was suicidal. As you know, several years ago you had us print the following message in all of our books:
Reach out for the LIFELINE TO THE PRESENCE.
To all who are beset by depression, suicide,
difficulties or insurmountable problems,
we say MAKE THE CALL! (406) 848-7441
At Summit University recently, you instructed the students to give decree 7.11S, "The Suicide Entity Decree," three times whenever they hear of suicides or suicide attempts. You explained that suicides often occur in threes and that the suicide entity particularly stalks our youth.
This week at the Office of Ministry we received reports of a rash of suicides and suicide attempts. Among those who committed suicide were three relatives or associates of Keepers of the Flame. A son of a Keeper of the Flame unsuccessfully attempted suicide. All four were young men, ages 17 to 25. We gave decree 7.11S three times as soon as we heard.
That night you came to the Ascension Service and instructed us to again give decree 7.11S three times for all souls upon the planet who were beset by the suicide entity. You then led a powerful session of decrees to beloved Surya. Seven Teaching Centers, including the Detroit Teaching Center, were connected by phone patch to the service in King Arthur's Court.
On Sunday afternoon, a 23-year-old man called from Michigan and told me he had been suicidal the day before. He was staying with friends, as he was out of work. He had no money and no family support. He told me of a childhood and a life filled with problems, even attempts by others against his life. He is a devotee of Jesus and prays "all the time." He once saw you on cable TV, and a friend in Arizona sent him a couple of books, including The Lost Years of Jesus. But no one near him understands spiritual matters.
On Saturday he was so low and depressed that he seriously planned to take his life. He described himself as a "fighter" who does not normally "give up." He knew suicide was not the answer but he was "at the end of his rope."
He did not go through with the suicide because he had some kind of vision or dream that night. A lady (who "seemed to be the lady in the cable show") appeared to him and said that he could not take his life and that he must call the number in the back of The Lost Years of Jesus and speak to one of her representatives!
He said it was a command and he knew that he could not disobey it. She was very insistent. She also told him to find the "teaching" that he needed. He called his friend in Arizona, who also urged him to call the Inner Retreat and so he did.
Mother, he was astounded by his vision or dream of you. He said he called because you had told him to call and speak to your representative. He wanted you to know that he had been obedient. I explained that I was a minister of our Church and therefore your representative and that I would tell you that he had called.
The young man told me that Jesus also visited him and told him some things that he did not fully understand, something about a "mission." He was very moved that Jesus should come to him, as he felt so unworthy. However, he said it was a very powerful experience and he had no doubt it was the Lord.
He told me, "I will do whatever it takes." He did not know what to do with his life but he loved to help other people and wanted to be a minister some day. I told him that he was not unworthy but he was a child of the Light, a son of God. I explained that he was very precious to God and to us.
He wanted confirmation of his experience. Was this the lady on the cable show? Is she the same one who wrote the book? I explained that I did not doubt that you had indeed visited him in his vision or dream and that you often ministered to your many students at inner levels. I told him how glad I was that he did not commit suicide and I explained the Ascended Masters' teaching on suicide, as given by Elohim Apollo and Lumina in the 1995 Pearls of Wisdom (vol. 38, no. 31):
Suicide is the death of the body, but it can also be the death of the soul. Those who commit suicide, depending on their karma and the circumstances of their death, are required by the Lords of Karma either to remain on various levels of the astral plane or to immediately reincarnate.
This they must do to balance the karma they made by committing suicide, having thereby abandoned those lifestreams for whom they were responsible. Once and for all they must learn the lesson that suicide is not a way out of one's problems and that taking one's life will not take the soul to Elysian fields, as the suicide demons promise, but back to square one.
Often suicides stay close to home and attempt in vain to speak to family members and close friends to express their regret and their profound sorrow that they have committed such a crime as to snuff out the flame of life God gave them at birth.
Yes, they now know that the crime of taking life is the ultimate crime and that death is final. But why didn't they know it before? Yes, why didn't they, when all of the world's scriptures tell us that life is sacred, that life is God and that life must be embraced in its fullest potential and defended?
Even Moses, on his deathbed, counseled the children of Israel to choose Life: "I have set before you Life and Death, blessing and judgment: therefore choose Life, that both thou and thy seed may live."
Those who contemplate suicide do not always carry it out, but they have a tendency to gravitate to the astral plane. There they are vulnerable to the pull of suicide entities who stalk the canyons of the astral plane and lie in wait for weak souls who are already overcome by their addictions to alcohol, sugar, nicotine, drugs and dark music.
Those who are most influenced by suicide entities descend lower and lower into the astral plane, and not until it is too late do they realize that they are not able to disentangle themselves from these entities. In other words, they cannot pull themselves up by their own bootstraps.
Therefore they must appeal to devout souls to offer dynamic decrees and prayers of intercession in their behalf. For according to cosmic law, the Archangels of God and their hosts, Elohim and Ascended Masters do not descend into the realms of Death and Hell to rescue those who are bound in the shackles of Hades unless they receive an appeal from devotees of God to do so.
Yes, the faithful must pray to God daily and fervently that imprisoned souls might be cut free from their demon oppressors and be given another opportunity to choose God and live. Such souls are often so burdened by their karma and so bowed down by the tauntings of hellions that they no longer have the strength or the will to resist their tormentors.
Some of these souls will be lost unless such as you, Keepers of the Flame in the role of angels of mercy, call to God to send his Archangels to escort you to the depths of hell. Under their protection, you may follow in the footsteps of your Lord, who descended into hell on Holy Saturday and preached to the rebellious spirits that they might accept their salvation through him.
I then told him about our path and Teachings. I described the Chart of Your Divine Self and briefly explained karma, reincarnation, the violet flame and the science of the spoken Word. He told me that he had never felt so "heavy." I told him that he needed to give prayers to Archangel Michael for protection as well as decrees to transmute the karma that was making him feel so heavy. I taught him a short decree to Archangel Michael and a violet-flame mantra.
With his permission, I made an invocation for him while I used my Archangel Michael ritual sword. You have instructed ministers and counsellors to do this at the conclusion of a counseling call. You tell your staff and counsellors, "It is the call that makes the difference. It doesn't necessarily have to be my call."
You have also instructed us to call upon the mantle of the Messengers to overshadow us as we make the call. At your instruction many staff members, ministers and counsellors keep wallet-size pictures of you and Lanello at their desks so that the two Messengers are right there with them as they "make the call." I keep mine right on my computer.
I also called to the angels to be with him, to comfort, heal and guide him and to help him to fulfill his divine plan in this life. I asked the angels to help him to find a job and a place to stay and to show him his mission in this life.
I asked the violet-flame angels to lift his burdens. I charged Archangel Michael and the seraphim to protect him. I called to the hosts of the LORD to bind the suicide entity attacking this soul and all souls of light on the planet. (You have taught us to maximize our calls rather than to pray for just one soul of light, as the angels can just as easily go to all souls with the same problem.)
Mother, he was a different person at the end of the phone call. He said he could really feel the effectiveness of the call and he was very touched by it. He was so happy to have someone to talk to about these things. He said, "I have never been able to talk to anyone about these things and I am not used to it!" I explained that we have a whole church full of people who love to talk about these things and more!
I promised to send him some material and he agreed to stay with his friends until he could receive a package from me. The next day I sent him the Angels booklet, the Heart, Head and Hand Decrees booklet, the Keepers of the Flame Fraternity brochure, the Pearls of Wisdom brochure, a profile brochure that tells about our organization, the New Year's conference flier, your 1995 Pearl of Wisdom "On the Soul" (vol. 38, no. 29), as well as the new booklet, A Special Dispensation from the Darjeeling Council of the Great White Brotherhood, and some wallet cards. I contacted the Detroit Teaching Center, which is two hours away. They will pray for him and will send a Keeper of the Flame who lives nearby to visit him.
Mother, as a minister I know that answers come in many ways, as you have often said. Through our diligent prayer, meditation and application of the Word as we wait upon the Lord, he will reveal to us the answer to the situations which burden us. Any of us may make the call to your Holy Christ Self and Electronic Presence, and you will stand by our side 24 hours a day, guiding us always.
In fact, you have told us that the moment a chela writes to you or calls to you, you receive the letter or call on inner levels. You have said that you know our burden before we even write. I believe that with all my heart because I have experienced it even before I joined staff. Many chelas, including myself, have found the answers they were seeking even before they put the letter in the mailbox.
In times of difficulty, we need to remember that you work with each of your chelas on inner levels. As we maintain the tie of love to your heart and the heart of beloved Jesus, as this beloved soul did, you will guide us through our every trial.
Beloved Mother, what a blessing to all life that your mission goes on at inner levels and that you can come through to a soul so clearly and so tangibly to save his life. This blessed soul told me there was "no way he was going to disobey" what you told him to do! It was a command! How grateful I AM to be a small part of this wonderful rescue mission! And how grateful I AM that God has sent his Messenger to us that "not one of these little ones shall be lost" - if we make the call!
When Desperate, Call to Mother's Causal Body
I would like to witness to the power of a call to your Causal Body. Although the incident happened several years ago, I feel prompted to share it with you now.
I was going through a very difficult time in my life. It seemed that every negative record of this embodiment, and perhaps other embodiments, was coming up at once. My husband was away and I felt alone and vulnerable. I cannot describe the pain, agony and despair I was going through. I didn't understand what was happening and I felt helpless in the grip of this energy. It seemed my calls and decrees weren't working.
One night I felt so disturbed that I thought I would die. I couldn't sleep, and the emotional pain was unbearable. I was pleading with God and every Master I could think of for help - all to no avail. I then remembered hearing from you, or someone, that a call could be made to your Causal Body in time of need. So I made that desperate call.
Much to my astonishment, almost instantaneously, a deep feeling of peace came over me. I fell into a restful sleep and awakened with a renewed strength to face the day.
Thank you, dear Mother, for your love and protection. What a wonderful dispensation! I am ever in debt to your great Causal Body.
The Pain and Regret Suffered by Those Who Commit Suicide
The recent Pearl of Wisdom by the Elohim Apollo and Lumina (vol. 38, no. 31) contains good teaching on suicide. I noted a similarity between these teachings and what I had read in the book Return from Tomorrow by George G. Ritchie. In this book, Ritchie, a psychiatrist, tells of a near-death experience he had at age 20 in a military hospital. While he was clinically dead for nine minutes, Jesus took him on a journey and showed him, among other things, vast numbers of non-physical beings (discarnates) who roam the earth after death. He also showed him the pain and regret suffered by those who commit suicide. Ritchie writes:
Keep your eyes on Me, Jesus had told me. ... Without Him before me, in fact, I could not have endured the things He was showing me. As fast as thought we travelled from city to city, seemingly on the familiar earth ... except for the thousands of non-physical beings that I now observed also inhabiting this "normal" space. In one house a younger man followed an older one from room to room. "I'm sorry, Pa!" he kept saying. "I didn't know what it would do to Mama! I didn't understand."
But though I could hear him clearly, it was obvious that the man he was speaking to could not. The old man was carrying a tray into a room where an elderly woman sat in bed. "I'm sorry, Pa," the young man said again. "I'm sorry, Mama." Endlessly, over and over, to ears that could not hear.
In bafflement I turned to the Brightness beside me. But though I felt His compassion flow like a torrent into the room before us, no understanding lighted my mind.
Several times we paused before similar scenes. A boy trailing a teenaged girl through the corridors of a school. "I'm sorry, Nancy!" A middle-aged woman begging a grey-haired man to forgive her.
"What are they so sorry for, Jesus?" I pleaded. "Why do they keep talking to people who can't hear them?"
Then from the Light beside me came the thought: They are suicides, chained to every consequence of their act.2
It always gives me pleasure to see the teachings of the Ascended Masters confirmed through the personal experience of individiuals not connected to our organization. The many paths do indeed lead back to the one Source. May the Teachings soon circle the earth!
Last night I received the blessing you gave individually to each conferee at The Convening of the Stars. I witness to the healing love of God you bear.
As I waited my turn, I watched hundreds of conferees and children file past you, each pausing briefly to receive the blessing sponsored by Archangel Gabriel. I meditated on the flame of love and was caught up in your garment, enfolded in the pure love of God.
Tears came to my eyes as I sensed the figure-eight flow of love between you and each one, and I felt my own hardness of heart melt away. Resentments I have had toward situations and individuals passed into the flame of Divine Love to be consumed.
A few minutes before I received the blessing, I walked past someone with whom I have had many negative interactions. I know our karma goes back lifetimes, for nothing in this life serves to explain this challenging situation. Yet when our eyes met, they met in love, acceptance, peace, joy. I felt that if this love continued unbroken in me and in our Community, there would be no possibility for war to continue on the planet.
In the past, I have often felt unworthy to be on the receiving end of your love. And fearing that my love would be rejected as imperfect, I have often failed to extend it. Finally, fearing to relive memories of being unloved by my parents, family and friends, I have often closed my heart to avoid feeling that pain. At times I feel as if I am wearing a lead jacket around my heart to keep love out because I know that love will stir up records of hurt. For I have experienced that the flame of love exposes the wounds in order to heal them.
Mother, what was so extraordinary about the blessing last night was not that you showed your profound love for each one, for I have seen and felt this many times. What touched me so deeply was that because of the assurance I felt in your love for each one, including myself, my own heart was open to receive it. Consequently, my love for you could also flow freely. When I came before you, our eyes met - for a moment expressing the timeless love of Guru and chela, Divine Mother and child. I yearned with all my being to be all love as I experienced that you are all love.
But there was more to this miracle of healing love: Before I retired last night, I prayed for resolution about my marriage. I married late in life. I feel I have had many embodiments as an unmarried religious, and I love the simplicity of that life of devotion. Although I have not considered ending my marriage, I have at times felt a certain warring in my members as I have wondered whether God had intended me to remain single. And I have at times felt that the path of marriage was somehow less honorable than that of the unmarried devotee.
This morning I awoke from "dreaming" that my husband and I had been with you last night. In the dream you stood on the high altar. My husband and I stood next to you but on the platform one step below, before Jesus' portrait.
You took an album from the altar and showed us many photographs of twin flames and couples who have made their ascension from the married state. You also showed us a beautiful photograph of yourself and Edward at the time of your engagement. The key element in each of those photographs was the purity of love the couple shared - a love that put God first, a love that beheld God in the beloved.
You told us it was our destiny to follow in their footsteps. You counseled us on the sacredness of marriage, on chelaship and on our dharmas, and ended by saying ours was not an easy path but that by the grace of God we could win our ascension through it.
I awoke with renewed determination to make my marriage the ladder my husband and I climb to our ascension. It gave me such peace to know from the high altar that our marriage was ordained by God and that it can be the vehicle for our ascension.
Beloved Mother, in gratitude for your unending love for my soul and for the healing and comfort you continually extend, I offer my striving toward wholeness, toward fulfilling in honor all to which I am called by God, and toward becoming all love.
With ever-increasing love in my heart,
