“The Drama of One Life Touched by God”

The question arose in my heart as to what is meekness; and as I pondered long and hard upon it, it came to pass that I perceived that the meek were not without strength. For it was given unto them to inherit the earth, <1> and I knew that those to whom God gave the gift of inheritance would necessarily be strong.

I gazed upon the pageant of man and I saw that in metaphor, dispensing with time and space, we could see all men as coming forth from the sun of God’s love, a vast parade, a pageant, a drama so full of poignant memories—some benign, some which revealed much suffering—that I pondered upon this also. I came to realize that one’s country had meaning; for after all, the segmentation of men and women into nations is symbolical of a certain divine intent.

The classification of peoples is also the creation of many sheepfolds. But I understood that the Master of masters desired one sheepfold. <2> If this could not come all at once but little by little, then men would be able to externalize the knowledge of science, the knowledge of genetics, the knowledge of humanity, the knowledge of Life, the knowledge of Spirit, the knowledge of universal lore. All of the multitude of components that make up the conglomerate creation must be assembled in consciousness. That they exist in substance is not enough, for each must run the fingers of his mind over the anomalies of manifestation.

O Mother Russia, thou art the mother of so many souls, even as China and the masses thereof; and you have brought into manifestation many children. Their Slavic ways are not always the ways of emancipation. Searchers for liberty are they; and the icons on the walls, together with the bubbling pots, the tea, the cakes, the peasants, the struggle, the mighty life waves—all compose a vast evolution which seeks for liberty and yet creates bondage.

I saw this great manifestation as a child; and as I gazed upon it, I froze in the wonder of it all and my mind refused to accept it. I cast aside reason as to the winds, and I opened my heart to the simple oneness of God, and I spake unto Him. I communed with Him who is beyond the stars and I said unto Him:

“O Lord, there is too much in manifestation; I cannot grasp it all. Come unto me and help me, for the world is a wilderness peopled with dark shapes and distortions. And I must of necessity have Thy power and Thy glory; for surely Thou who hast created all this—Thou who hast an Eye to see it and behold it—surely Thy Mind can comprehend it if mine cannot.”

As I spake unto Him, I cast myself upon Him; and as a child I received an answer: A very beautiful Being of Light was sent to me in my room. This beautiful Being of Light was he who is known to you as Archangel Gabriel. He came unto me and he said:

“Hail, Igor! God has heard thy prayer and He has sent me unto thee. Know then that I will guide thee throughout thy life and I will be to thee a friend.

“I will seek to produce in thee the manifestation of the wonderful consciousness of Jesus which his Mother Mary held for him, and I will be as a father unto thee and as a mother. And thy troubled heart will be comforted this day. Thou shalt find that God will open up understanding unto thee and little by little impart unto thee His grace.

“And thou shalt no longer be just as a peasant boy called Igor, but thou shalt be a son of the Most High God; for in thee God has generated a Flame this day. It is the Flame of thy I AM Presence, the Flame of thy being that appeared to Moses in the burning bush. <3> And God is no respecter of men’s persons, but in every age and time listens to the heart calls of the children of men. Know then that God hath heard thy call and I AM sent to do His will.”

With that moment Archangel Gabriel and I became fast friends, and there were many visitations from him from time to time. I was taken by him out of the body even during the night hours, and I communed with many of the members of the Brotherhood throughout the world in the great temples of Light. But as I passed over the cities of Moscow and Kiev and many of the other great cities of Russia, the plain country, and the mountains, my heart was always touched with the ruggedness of the land and with the great struggle in the hearts of the people; and I felt as though they were a sleeping giant that one day would awaken and trouble the peoples of the world.

When we were aware of the coming destruction of the czar and his family and we realized that the red dragon would march across the nation, I spent hours upon my knees imploring God to provide some measure of assistance. I remember then that one evening, a very special evening, there came to me a manifestation of the beautiful Lady of Fátima. She came to me and she discussed also the terror of the red dragon. She said that the world would be viciously troubled by it and that only by a great struggle and repudiation of this fraudulent desecration of the Light would mankind ever be able to roll back the hordes of materialistic darkness and shadow.

I remember that I clutched her robe in my hands; and as Jacob wrestled with the Angel, <4> I would not let her go. I remember that she lingered with me for many an hour beyond her intent and I said:

“O Mother of God, will you help me to help these people? I cannot bear it; I cannot bear the bloodshed, the ideas of terror, and the awful grasping in the hearts of these people. I ask you to help me. What can I do? I will give my life if it will save these people.” She patted me gently on the head and said:

“Igor, there have been others before you who have offered their lives to God to assuage the awful torment of material life. But there are karmic circumstances and situations beyond mortal control, even beyond the control of God; for He has put His laws into operation and entrusted certain dominions to lesser forms of consciousness, and they have free will. By the misuse of their free will, they have wrought all this destruction; and only when their free will turns to seek the things of the Spirit will they truly make the world to be free.”

I accepted her love and her wisdom and my heart was comforted, but the terror burned on. Throughout my life as I sought to be a pilgrim in a strange country, I aspired to attain something higher that I might free men. By and by, through the solemn ritual of the sacred mantra of my devotion toward God and through my one-pointedness, it came to pass that I was finally made ready for the moment of my ascension. And when it was given to me, it was not with mortal witnesses. I went up alone but quickly found that I was not alone, for around me were many bright Beings; and I knew that at last I had gone Home.

Beloved ones, the Messenger thought that I would tell you my name and he paused, hoping that I would; and I think that I shall reveal it in some future time. I prefer for the moment to remain one whom you call the Unknown Master. I want you to have my feeling of devotion to world good, to the plan of God. And thus, I have brought you this day not so much my wisdom as my feeling, my devotion, my love for God, who has made all things so lovely and so well.

If you choose to accept me and to understand my devotion, if you choose to make it a part of your life, I AM certain that it will please God. For then I know that sacrifices will not be so hard for thee. You will understand, one and all, that your Divine Presence is your eternal Home, even as it was the Source of your Life.

Peace be with you.

The Unknown Master

The Forces of the Lord Shall Descend:
Special Dispensations for the People of Russia and China

Friends of Hope:

As mankind stand at the portal of the new year, they await brighter hours.

In the world today dwell many who, solely by reason of family and training, are atheists and nonbelievers. Predominating in Russia and China, these atheists and their godless society seem to thrive. I tell you, all that seems to be is not. For there is alive in many hearts in the Orient, as well as in Russia herself, a great desire for divine worship and the finding of the pathway that leads to God, to divine compassion, and to Home.

Hence in the forthcoming year, we of the Hierarchy shall capitalize upon this for God. We shall respond in a more than ordinary way to hearts that seek us the world around. We shall show them that the pathway to universal Christ-realization is the only path that leads to the triumph of all nations in one beautiful kingdom of universal hope.

If they prevent us from disseminating this information directly, we ourselves will go underground. We ourselves will work with those who still call upon the name of the Lord in secret, stepping through the veil, if necessary, in masterful identities capable of maneuvering any divinely approved effort to bring a ray of Light and hope to the Communist nations.

We shall even go backward in time if necessary, summoning souls from other systems of worlds that have previously been identified with Russia and China. We shall ask special dispensations that they too may step through the veil and assume masked personalities that will not be seen for what they are but will have the power to appear and disappear at will and to evade all authority. These shall walk the earth as Apollonius of Tyana did, coming and going in the courts and marts, producing miracles that may not always be readily apparent but shall have their certain effect upon civilization. These beings shall lead some of the inner neophytes as well as advanced disciples of our Brotherhood into levels of triumph that shall eventually revolutionize the Revolution and produce in its place in the hearts and minds of the people the type of receptivity that shall help them to overcome the dread threats that mankind currently face.

I do not say that none of these threats shall materialize, for mankind have free will. But surely the preponderance of our energy shall come forward now on behalf of the mankind of earth and enter into the spiritual fight, the battle of Armageddon. <1> And that battle shall not be won by those who have gained temporary control over the communications media, the press, and the publishing industries of the world or by those who would maneuver the governments and political parties, the textbooks and the schools, and every function of society.

I say unto you in God’s name, the forces of the Lord shall descend. As Enoch said long ago, “Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.” <2> Therefore these things shall be. And as beloved Helios said earlier this year, “Nothing shall be able to stay My Hand.” <3>

And so the next year shall indeed be one of struggle; yet out of the chalice of the year, perfection shall ultimately come.

I AM your servant,

Igor

"And therefore with the same striving, the same devotion, the same input of energy on your part, you too can receive the presence of the angels, the teachers of mankind. You too can be one with the army of the Lord and know that strength, that every martyr, every saint, everyone who has ever loved God with the intensity of his whole being has known.

"If I, then, alone with God in my room and upon my cot could invoke the intercession of the Most High, one for a nation, can you not also, as you number in the hundreds and the thousands this day, be that devotion which is the love that will change this earth? after all, all that can be accomplished in so many avenues, it all comes down to pure devotion to God, this, the open door, this the simplicity of truth."

Conclave of the Friends of Christ
XII
The Miracle of the Holy Ghost

Further, I add my word to the beloved ascended master El Morya.

I come as a pilgrim from Mother Russia to this very place. I have desired to be very near to you in this hour of Easter, and in the hour of some persecution for many.

I desire to share with you my heart, my love for the beautiful souls of Russia, and the strength of my vigil which derived from the Blessed Virgin and the Maha Chohan and the Lord Christ during the hours of the Communist revolution in our beloved nation—that took from us our leaders, that took from us our most cherished light-bearers, our sons and daughters. For, as you know, millions perished through that Soviet revolution and all that ensued in the First World War, and on and on as the persecution of my people has continued unnecessarily. <1>

For, as you know, the powers of the West could have long ago liberated them. Yet somehow, beloved, the people of the West have not understood the equation of the international cooperation of individuals at the heads of most every nation. There has been a fear of the Soviet leadership. There has been the conspiring of monied interests, of those who control the world economy. <2>

It is never enough that one son of God raise his head and his right hand to challenge World Communism or the capitalist conspirators who support it. It has never been enough, for the one may be put down by the seed of the fallen angels but the many in concerted action cannot be stopped.

Time and again it has been proven that a body of light-bearers, one in heart, who set themselves with the God-determination can be immovable, irresistible, dauntless, and undefeatable. Let us see how the qualities of faith and long-suffering and intelligence themselves of the people of Russia might be reinforced now by ascended-master law.

I AM Igor, and I come in the name of Saint Germain with a message from his heart. And it is this: If you will produce the teachings in Russian, bound in books, we will provide the open door for them to arrive in the hands of the light-bearers of Mother Russia.

We cannot work a miracle without the pot of oil in our hands. And this single pot of oil of the widow <3> in this instance must be the book in hand, not merely contemplated. When it is in hand it becomes the acceptable offering on the altar.

Now we can move the armies of heaven to see to it that those who pray to understand the Way will have it. Thus, we wait with great anticipation this event of Studies in Alchemy by Saint Germain and of The Science of the Spoken Word coauthored by him, sponsored by him in the age of Aquarius, in our hands in the Russian form.

Here it is, beloved hearts. The door is opened by our Father, by the descent of Christ, by the cooperation of the Darjeeling Council and the Council of the Royal Teton and many of the ascended masters—in fact, unanimously the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood.

The reinforcement from heaven has never been greater. And yet we have never been in a position to coerce anyone, especially the fallen angels in embodiment. It is up to you to rise up and displace them by Truth and Freedom and Transmutation and by Light. For surely the increase of Light must illumine also their darkness that all may see and choose.

The successful experiment in free will is more important to our Father than external victories. What good would it do if a mighty victory were won without the renewal of hearts, without a new image of Christhood?

A victory was won in World War II, and yet those who won it did not have the chalice to contain it, nor the understanding of how to control and bind the false leaders—the false gurus of the West moving with the false gurus of the Soviet Union to undo a momentous victory of the forces of heaven. <4>

Heaven, therefore, cannot release a dispensation for a victory in the physical octave without a victory corresponding of the Christ consciousness in those who attain it. We pray therefore from our octave that the weapons available to mankind and to the fallen ones in this hour will not be unleashed to destroy the path of Christhood and suddenly put to an end this grand evolution of the souls of planet Earth that ought to be taking place.

The ascended masters pray. The angels pray. Elohim pray. For our God is indeed a consuming fire. We also pray for receptive hearts on earth to bear the answer to our prayers to one another and to all. For when beloved Alpha sends us a bouquet of violets in answer to our prayer, we must find a heart where we can deposit them and know the fragrance of Saint Germain’s violet flame will be borne to its conclusion and fulfillment.

I AM Igor, and I will stay until I have in my arm the physical volumes requested. But I cannot resist to place my Electronic Presence with the people of Eastern Europe, the ones most likely to overcome Communism, who have been broken again in Poland—praise God, not by the immense destruction that occurred in Hungary and Czechoslovakia. <5>

If these nations cannot overcome the foe, how will Mother Russia be delivered? When she is delivered it will be by the miracle of the Holy Ghost that will suddenly move through all people, quickened and magnified by the presence of Jesus with them. I therefore come as the sponsor of Saint Germain—Saint Joseph and his violet flame—for this is so needed as a balance for the victory. The tragedy upon tragedy is that each time these peoples join in their hearts and in the might of their spirits to oppose that tyranny, help is not forthcoming and the West does not deliver the mandate required by the armies of heaven to fulfill their free will.

It is a lamentation of the prophet Jeremiah that a people so near to their freedom should suffer such a setback because of the cowardice—the cowardice of the leaders of the West whose names of infamy have long ago been removed from the Book of Life, who have no future and no past yet, without identity, manage to get themselves elected or appointed to positions where they may resist the Christ at every hand!

I AM Igor! I prayed in the midst of the Soviet revolution, and by the love of Mary, many were spared. <6>

I AM Igor and I know whereof I speak. I know what is the deadly, hellish nature of World Communism and I tell you it must be stopped in the physical octave! And we must have our warriors of the Spirit, for their intent moves on as a shadowy hand over North America and South America, over Africa, over Europe, over the Middle East. And it must be checked. For though the lumbering beast seems as though it will topple by its internal decay, yet those in the physical octave must raise their right hand for the power of God to roll it back.

Thus, you might say that the cowards and the passive ones who do nothing about it in the West are even the greater enemies of the Light—who turn their head the other way instead of turning the cheek and by love and the ruby ray turning back that abuse. These are the hirelings. They flee when they see the bear coming, instead of giving their life for their sheep. <7>

Well, we have our example of one who will give life for the sheep. And you may make your life an example with her also, to give yourself for the sakes of the light-bearers of the world.

When you enter this mission, realize it is like no other. And you will be joined only by the purest and strongest souls who understand the meaning of sacrifice to achieve the desired end of the reign of the Prince of Peace. Thus by example, by example convert the world to a massive protest and a human-divine resistance to these dark ones. Let the resistance be to Evil itself, to the Liar and the lie, and let not the resistance be to Christ.

The people are willing to demonstrate, as they have shown in many nations. Holding hands, they have created a chain of resistance fourteen miles long, yet their resistance has become a passive resistance rather than an active peace and a real understanding of who is the enemy. <8> They think America is the enemy instead of understanding it is the few leaders in every nation.

Unfortunately, the names of the nations appear to go along with the leaders instead of the people. Thus, in order to have world resistance against Antichrist, that state of consciousness, that logic, that mentality, that philosophy itself must be exposed. Therefore, I say, support all those who speak the Truth. Support those who bear the Light. Support Solzhenitsyn so long as he welcomes your support. Support every defender of Truth who is not ready to put you down because you are not a part of his particular religion or political persuasion. Support Truth, support God, but be willing to stand alone when you are even persecuted by those whom you love most.

For that aloneness is a mighty sword. It will invoke the shield of Maitreya, and you will win because you have no ties to those who yet harbor the resentment of the ascended masters’ chelas and their path.

Those who stand for world goodwill must stand freely in the flame of God-harmony. And if they are tied in any way to those who themselves have compromised at some level, then it weakens the whole. Thus, the remnant holds up the ensign. <9>

I myself prayed alone and long through the hours of the day and the night for the deliverance of my people. And the Blessed Mother came to me to strengthen me as I cried out. And she taught me to pray, and she showed to me how many were spared because I would not be moved from my vigil to join this or that group who would fight not with the pure white fire of the light of God.

Thus, beloved, I could send that fire into the hearts of those who fought on the battlefield—to the hearts of the friends of Christ as they performed their service—for their protection and their individual victory.

I have seen the power of one soul with God hold back an army in the closet of prayer. I commend to you this source of strength as the victory of India, as Gandhi so proved it and yet left for you another round of victory, another war to be fought and won over selfishness and greed and hypocrisy and chaos itself.

I am one with the saints of every nation in embodiment and those who have already given their lives and remain in the etheric octave, praying night and day for their brothers and sisters here.

I AM Igor for the victory of the true flame of Russia in America, that the American people might know what is the reality of the light-bearers of Russia, of Poland, of Yugoslavia, Romania, Lithuania, Latvia, of Bulgaria, of Hungary, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, of Afghanistan, and of all nations that have been bowed down.

For the light-bearers of these nations are truly one, and they do receive the gift of violet flame from your hearts each Saturday evening. They are nourished, they are sustained, and they retain hope because they see at inner levels that this work of the ascended masters and their chelas must ultimately bring world deliverance.

And as no other has been forthcoming—not from the leaders of their own nations of the West, as no other has been forthcoming, not even from the religious camp—they realize it is the hosts of the Lord and The Faithful and True and they only who will bring about world peace.

Thus, I commend you for holding the flame and keeping it, beloved Keepers of the Flame. I commend you for sustaining the vow of honor and Truth. And I tell you, Truth will win! Honor will win! Fearlessness will win! Personal integrity will win!—and forgiveness, mercy, the confession of sin and the forsaking of sin. This will win! this will strengthen!

And no adversary of the living Christ can prevail over you when you love and pray and watch, and love and pray and serve the Lord with gladness and hope in the Blessed Mother, and know her rosary intimately and move with joy as a hart through the fields and the forests with the wind and the grasses of the Holy Spirit.

No adversary can stand against the living Christ. Therefore, still stand. And in patience, possess ye not only your souls, but possess ye the whole world as God’s kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.

Onward, Christian soldiers! For now—now the night is far spent. The day of the Resurrection is at hand. Come with Magda. Come be there! Come be there in the morning, when the rays of the dawn bathe the earth in a new year and a new light and a new hope.

Hope! Hope is our call, hope is our cry. And God has answered. Jesus has answered. And hope will live forevermore as a flame in our hearts again.

My brothers and sisters, I embrace you at the foot of the cross and at the door of the open tomb. I AM forever Igor of the white fire flame of Mother Russia.

1. During World War I (1914-18), despite the superiority of the Russian army, thousands needlessly lost their lives as a result of the incompetent military strategies of Czar Nicholas II. Since the overthrow of the Russian government by Lenin and Trotsky in the October Revolution of 1917, 35-45 million Russians have been murdered by the Soviet regime, as calculated by Sovietologist Robert Conquest.

2. According to Antony Sutton in his books Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution and Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development, Western leaders and bankers aided and financed Lenin and Trotsky’s rise to power. Following the establishment of the Soviet State, Western interests maintained the Soviet economy through infusions of capital, technology, and foodstuffs. This complicity down to the present hour has been the cohesive element that has preserved the Soviet leadership.

5. In November 1956, the Soviets crushed an anti-Communist revolt in Hungary with a massive attack on Budapest, killing an estimated 6,500-32,000 freedom-fighters, many of whom resisted Soviet tanks using only their fists, rocks, or large sticks. Others, in vain, relayed S.O.S. radio messages to the West, whose leaders, including Eisenhower, refused to respond on the basis that it was strictly an “internal affair.” Similarly, on August 20-21, 1968, the Soviet Union led Warsaw Pact countries in an invasion of Czechoslovakia, whose unarmed citizens also valiantly resisted Soviet tanks. On December 13, 1981, the Polish government—threatened by the continuing demands for liberalization by the independent trade union Solidarity—imposed martial law. A reported 8,000 political prisoners yet remain in Polish penal camps.
