Make no mistake about it, there is a silver lining. And though darkness may cover the land, you have recourse to Sanat Kumara, who, in his great mantle of light, may decide to walk up and down the earth to avert a planetary blackout.
The darkness of mankind's karma moves through the planet. It moves in and through all sentient life. Earth is very sick, and the minds of her people are very sick.
Yet the Great White Brotherhood and the Darjeeling Council and the God and Goddess Meru and Lord Himalaya and Vaivasvata Manu and the Great Divine Director, one and all, join me in affirming: As long as there is opportunity, as long as these devotees who are the shining ones keep on shining, we press on! On their behalf, we go before the Lords of Karma, we appear before the Solar Logoi and other councils, and we plead where other hierarchs have ceased to plead for mercy on behalf of humanity.
For your year-end assignment, then, I ask you to implore your Mighty I AM Presence and the hosts of the LORD to cut free the lightbearers in every nation that they might immediately embrace the Teachings of the Ascended Masters. As I sent the other seventy,13 so I would send you to every nation in the earth that all things might be fulfilled. "The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest."14
I, working with you, "must work the works of him that sent me while it is day; the night cometh, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."15
The opportunity to go here and there around the world two by two again and again, delivering the message of the violet flame and its alchemy of the Holy Spirit, is surely Saint Germain's great boon that will propel you into immortal life at journey's end.
I sent forth the twelve and commanded them, saying:
"Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not [for their time is not yet come]. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel [whose time is come]. And as ye go, preach, saying, `The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give."16
Consider what is your most important calling in life and dedicate yourself to that calling with all the fervor of your being. Espouse your work as a sacred labor that you lay on the altar of God each day. See to it that it is practical and that it can meet the demands of the twenty-first century and beyond. Then, when you are ready, walk through the open door of opportunity that is before you.
Let those who are the watchmen on the wall of Maitreya's retreat know that they cannot stand still. They must forge ahead or lose their employability in a marketplace that is driven by an ever-advancing technology. Therefore they must ride the wave of accelerated learning with those who are internalizing that technology. And they must assimilate the most advanced concepts of spiritual science, which we the Ascended Masters promote, as well as the best of material science. When these are wedded, you will see a balancing in the earth and in the four lower bodies of her evolutions.
Blessed ones, I must return every few minutes to the point of my message: Give your calls to the violet flame! Do not fail to do it! For the violet flame is your safety belt. That's what it's all about. And if you can accelerate your calls to the sacred fire every hour on the hour, you will one day be in that enviable position of having balanced at least 51 percent of your karma. That achievement, as you know, gives you the option of staying in embodiment or moving on.
On behalf of the hierarchs of the Nature kingdom, I call upon the elementals of fire, air, water and earth, who suffer greatly for the outrages of humanity's abuses of the planetary body. Their suffering is almost beyond endurance. Moreover, all life, even at the microscopic level, is bowed down by the sheer weight of mankind's misqualification of earth's energies. Therefore I appeal to the sons and daughters of God to offer the violet flame daily on behalf of all elementals and especially on behalf of those who have been manipulated and abused by the black magicians who enslave them.
As you know, I prophesied to my disciples, saying: "Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying `I am Christ,' and shall deceive many. ... And many false prophets shall rise and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."17
I also prophesied that "this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."18
These days are upon us. Therefore let us have the courage to proclaim Saint Germain's violet flame for world transmutation through the following kinds of materials:
I ask you to create new wallet-size cards that you can give to friends and strangers alike in the course of your travels. It is for this reason that I ask you never to be without the wallet-size Chart of the I AM Presence. Then there are flyers, pamphlets, topical booklets, posters, video- and audiotapes of the teachings of Saint Germain as well as original music and songs dedicated to the Ascended Masters. The Church could also offer CDs, CD-ROMs, Web sites, radio and TV programs for promulgating Saint Germain's violet flame and helping people everywhere to visualize it and to apply it in meeting the everyday challenges they have to deal with.
Use every means at your disposal to direct the violet flame for world transmutation! For as you engage your energies in the cause of Saint Germain by invoking his violet flame, you may see right before your very eyes a planetary mitigation that is truly stupendous!
But if the few and the many do not see the peril ahead and thus dedicate themselves to applying the violet flame, then I say: Woe! to those who slumber and sleep during the chaos of Old Night when they should "be up and doing," as Longfellow wrote, "with a heart for any fate; still achieving, still pursuing, learn[ing] to labor and to wait."19
Woe! to those who have not only denied the Christ in me but have also denied the Christ in themselves these two thousand years! Woe! unto you, I say! For you shall not know my visitation again. But the hosts of the LORD shall visit you, and they shall bind you in bundles and remove you from the earth as they separate the evil "tares" from the good "wheat."20
The times demand of our chelas a tremendous output of energy. Given the unconditional nature of God's gift of free will to his sons and daughters, the soul can make the ultimate choice to be exalted in God or to be debased in the depths of Death and Hell.
Therefore, in their exercise of free will, many souls will take the high road that leads to reunion with God while others will take the low road of self-annihilation. Souls who take that low road will go through the second death at the conclusion of the Piscean dispensation, to reincarnate no more. For the second death is a finality of finalities, wherein the soul is permanently snuffed out and the silver cord shrivels up and ceases to be.
And so at the conclusion of the Piscean age, it is entirely possible that earth's population will be significantly reduced because untold numbers of souls will have taken the option to cease to exist rather than to claim their individuality in God.
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. - Dan. 12:1-3
When Daniel interpreted for Belshazzar the handwriting on the wall, he counseled him:
O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:
And for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would, he slew; and whom he would, he kept alive; and whom he would, he set up; and whom he would, he put down.
But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:
And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.
And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this;
But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:
That is why he has sent the hand which, by itself, has written these words ... MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
This is the interpretation of the thing: ...
Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
In that very night, Belshazzar was slain and another took over his kingdom.
