I Plant the Seed of the Ruby Ray in the Chalice Prepared
To Receive the Ancient Instruction of the Mentors of Shamballa
on the Building of the Chalice

I AM indeed the Buddha of the Ruby Ray. I come quickly and the Light * of the Central Sun is with me. It is my reward and it can be thine also.

God in thee is the seed of the Buddha and I would plant the seed of the Buddha in the chalice prepared. The preparation of the chalice is an assignment that was given to you in ages past as you were instructed by your mentors from Shamballa, mentors who went forth across the earth to contact the original souls who had journeyed here with the Ancient of Days. <1>

Thus, they gave to you the careful instruction for the preparation of the chalice, of the four lower bodies, of the soul, the heart, the mind, the chakras. This memory is held by you vividly. Just beneath your conscious awareness, your soul retains the memory.

Some have served with great diligence to be prepared for the hour of my promised coming. This is my first coming, beloved. It is my coming whereby I may reward with my reward of Light those who have been faithful to the instruction and to their promise to keep it.

Now then, some are prepared. Some have drifted into forgetfulness and untidiness in the preparation of the chalice.

Crystal upon crystal, you build around the frame and body that you wear an incorporeal light chalice. It is the vessel of the soul. Those who build it are truly the builders who have been so called from the ancient days, [even] those among you who did assist in the building of the original Shamballa on the island in the Gobi Sea.

Thus, building is your natural endowment, for you have built the stupas of the Buddha, the grand cathedrals of Europe and the ancient temples of Atlantis and even Lemuria. Building a citadel of light, then, is your joy, building around the secret chamber of the heart even the temple for the coming of the Lord Gautama Buddha.

This building not made with hands <2> has been constructed by your souls. Some [buildings are] simple, some more elaborate, some well-nigh completion, some with barely the foundation begun.

Thus, beloved, in your temple you have laid a cornerstone and that cornerstone is the Rock of the living Christ, whom you adore and who is that point of the magnet of being, the central stone, the cornerstone remembered in Masonry as the stone of Christ-potential that must come to full manifestation.

As you continue to build, as you have had reawakened in you this day the necessity for this building of the chalice, so I shall come again on occasion down the decades to reward you with that seed planted in the special place upon the altar within your building.

Now then, I speak to you of how you shall accomplish this task, for it is apropos to the subjects brought to your attention during this conference by the Ascended Masters.

Take particular note that Archangel Michael called you to seek adeptship <3> on the occasion of the thirty-third anniversary of The Summit Lighthouse, its founding in Philadelphia. Take note that Meta has called you to a path and that you have been reminded to balance the karma of the misuse of God’s power that you might receive power once again—the power of Alpha, the power of Omega, of heaven and of earth. <4> Note, then, the caution [that you must take] in guarding the action of protection, in keeping the discipline of Love, of entering into the Light and choosing mercy as the means of the opening of the flower of the heart.

Blessed ones, to teach you how to come forward and to hold the Light and to protect it and to retain your God-harmony, to teach you to give the calls for the binding of the hosts of Darkness, the hordes of Death and Hell and those who remain in physical embodiment and on the astral plane as practitioners of the black arts, which practices they have followed for many centuries—I am called to Summit University.

Blessed ones, those who arrive at the gate of power shall be assailed by the fallen ones. And if they do not have considerable self-mastery, the fallen ones shall move together as one host of Darkness to cut down that one who dares to rise in the Power of God, the Wisdom of God and the Love of God in the purity of the balance of the Divine Mother on planet earth.

Thus, I tell you each one, it is simply not possible to impart the secrets of Maitreya’s Mystery School in an open conference in a hotel in any city. Such impartations heart to heart from the Masters through the Messenger to you must be given in a setting that is sealed and protected and sponsored.

Therefore, those of you who earnestly seek this transfer of Light and to master the art of protection and to be invited to be with Archangel Michael and his legions, going forth each night in full armour to assist in these battles, <5> must come to the Inner Retreat. And I bid you come quickly, while the opportunity is at hand in this decade to learn so many of the mysteries of God and the techniques of dealing with conditions such as those which exist on planet earth.

Come, then, to Maitreya’s Mystery School for Winter Quarter 1992. Understand the meaning of this opportunity:

It is the desire of the Ascended Masters and the Messenger to give you that self-confidence, that independence and that individuality in God so that wherever you find yourself on earth, on the inner planes, and beyond this life, you shall retain the conscious knowledge of how to deal with all circumstances that may come upon you by karma, by initiation or by the direct confrontation of fallen angels. To impart this heart to heart is our desire.

I speak on behalf of Padma Sambhava (the sponsoring Guru of your Messenger), of Jesus
Christ, Lord Maitreya, Gautama Buddha and Sanat Kumara. I speak on behalf, beloved, of the Five Dhyani Buddhas. Yes, beloved, we would transmit to you not only knowledge but the means
of self-discipline, for surely we desire to transfer that power of God, and quickly so, that you might aid and assist the many.

The time has come for you to understand that all chelas are not equal and those who consider themselves the first may find themselves the last. But to be last or first signifies that you are called and chosen. Better to be last, then, than the one beyond the last who did not enter in.

Understand, therefore, that [at Maitreya’s Mystery School] every chela as bodhisattva on the Path is dealt with individually and personally according to the record of the Keeper of the Scrolls, the record of the Book of Life <6> and the individual karmic book of life.

Recording Angels with the Scrolls

Yes, beloved, you may not grade yourself or measure yourself, but you must come [to Summit University] knowing that the Ascended Masters will deal with you individually according to your strength, your weakness, your attainment or lack of it, according to the honor flame you have kept with the Brotherhood, according to your faithfulness, your reliability and trustworthiness.

There is a need upon earth in the nations and the cities, across the margents and even across the planes of consciousness for pillars of fire to stand and still stand in all octaves to hold the balance and preserve the opportunity for a golden age to-be: [a golden age] to be in these lower octaves and not alone at etheric levels.

Therefore, beloved, the age of true empowerment has come. If you are not ready, be willing to make yourself ready. Be willing to pursue for whatever time or extended time may be required of you that you might receive the full prize.

Thus, I have in fact come to announce to you the opening of the doors by Maitreya to the paths and initiations of the bodhisattvas, the very ones who abide with Maitreya in higher levels of the etheric octave, the unascended ones who look to the day of their return when the Darkness of earth does recede and the Light does dawn again.

All those who keep the Flame in this hour of earth’s great travail shall know a strength and an attainment for having stood fast. Therefore count your opportunity as wondrous, as mighty and as holy in the Lord to be in the earth, to have access to the adepts, to receive that transfer of Light and Knowledge.

I tell you frankly, as it is known by the Hierarchy today, beloved, were it not for this Messenger clothed upon with the mantle of Lord Gautama, you would not receive direct instruction and initiation. And it would be [more] arduous for you to make your way to the etheric retreats without the sponsorship of that mantle holding the balance for you. Recently El Morya so gave this instruction to the staff of the Messenger.

When the Messenger did come before the Lords of Karma to receive the assignment of this life, she was given the opportunity of two paths: the one, to become a Guru in the Himalayas with a small band of disciples, unknown to the world and therefore far from the reaches of the arrows and slings of outrageous fortune, far from the attack of the fallen ones, the attack of the press and the agencies of government and the people who are angry against the Light; and the other, to come forward and be in the public eye and therefore be vulnerable to every level of opposition from all planes.

She was shown how only a few disciples would benefit from her mission in the serenity of the Himalayan fastnesses. She was shown the many thousands of souls who would receive benefit, who would have the opportunity for the ascension and who could be sponsored through her mantle should she take the course that would place her, then, at the forefront of the battle and subject to all onslaughts coming out of Church and State.

You can see the path that she has chosen. Therefore El Morya did state that more than 95 percent of those who have found this path and who are ascending to God would not have had this teaching had she not made this decision.

But as a result of this decision, beloved, those who do receive the Light and the Teaching must understand that the door which has been opened through the Messenger is a door that will not be shut. And all who have betrayed the Christ and the Buddha in all past ages, who have fooled the people throughout the centuries and fed them the husks while keeping from them the true bread and the wine—they, then, because of their betrayal against God, are in the depths of their beings angry against the liberating power of the Word that you have received.

Thus, [as a recompense for] your chelaship unto the Ascended Masters and unto the mantle of the Guru that is borne by the Messenger, remember to keep the flame of protection of the office and of the body and the mind and the heart and the service and the mission of the Messenger that you and millions of others may be liberated by the work of the Divine Mother through her and through you.

Many of you have made stunning progress on the Path and are stars in the sea of maya. Your Light shines to the heavens. And you have made this progress, some in decades and some in less, through your studies of the teachings published under The Summit Lighthouse.

Buddha of the Ruby Ray

Know, then, how you have traversed lifetimes of karma and how those who have gone before you who have passed from the screen of life through this activity have either entered octaves of Light or made their ascension.

Truly the Lighthouse is not only the beacon light in a darkened world but also the open door for heaven to step through and commune directly with you. And it is the goal, beloved, that the Messenger as the go-between should eventually not be needed but that you should have
—through the bonding [of your soul] to the living Christ in you—that direct and perpetual contact.

This can come, beloved, only when you are able to seal the rents in the garment, to heal them and to see them mended by angels. For the accuracy in communication must be exact else [even] at a very high level of attainment you could still fall by the deceptions of the fallen ones.

Therefore, beloved, understand that you, too, are moving up the spiral, the thirty-three-tiered spiral, to your own personal victory. This is an hour to hold fast, to stand fast and to know yourselves as a guardian action of Light to protect the message and the Messenger, the Teaching and the Path.

The calls that must be made for this victory require a momentum, and the gaining of this momentum in the power of the spoken Word, beloved, is what coming to the Inner Retreat is all about.

To know the mysteries, to know the Path and the Teaching, to know the meaning of Absolute Darkness and Absolute Light, of Absolute Evil and Absolute Good, to know the meaning of the two-edged sword, of the All-Seeing Eye of God and the sacred fire raised up, [you must receive] the teachings [on these subjects] that I must impart [to you] one by one.

Thus, beloved, cherish and value this opportunity, for it is an opportunity to balance much
karma under the protection of the Ascended Masters. And the Ascended Masters receive dispensations and continue to receive them because of the work of the Messenger and the staff and the Keepers of the Flame and the chelas of the will of God and all who apply themselves to this path who may not even be affiliated with this organization.

Know, then, beloved, that your assignment is with you, the protection of God is with you and the Light of the Messenger is with you. Remember the words of Jesus to his disciples: “Work while you have the Light, for the night cometh when no man shall work.” <7> The Light is the incarnation of the Word. The Light is your Holy Christ Self. The Light is also the presence of the Brotherhood that can descend through the Messenger because it is a dispensation that is sealed and ordained of God.

The great rejoicing of the Messenger and yourselves on the occasion of the thirty-third anniversary of The Summit Lighthouse was that a new spiral of the thirty-three was commenced again. And though not all things were accomplished in the first thirty-three years that could have been, there is surely a tremendous progress and accomplishment that has been won. Now then that the dispensation is renewed, what opportunity lies before you!

Thus, Archangel Michael did explain that to take full advantage of that opportunity in these thirty-three years that do lie before you, you must seek adeptship and self-mastery in the physical [octave and in the physical body]—in the mind and in the heart. [As you set yourself to do this], beloved, the Lord will lean upon you even as you lean upon the staff of the Lord and the staff of the Messenger.

Now angels whom you have not met so recently are come, angels of the Ruby Ray, and they select from among you those who have elected to follow the ancient instruction of the mentors of Shamballa to build the chalice prepared.

Now I, the Buddha of the Ruby Ray, do place the seed in the chalice prepared. Where the chalice is not sufficiently prepared, I withhold the seed. It has the stamp of the code of your life, of your Causal Body upon it. I shall hold these seeds as you now accelerate, with all tools given to you, to have the chalice prepared.

This is the moment, then, when the angel of the Ruby Ray does place that seed in the chalices of those who are ready. [50-second pause]

It is done. Those of you who have received it have received it in the chakra of its appointing. There it is sealed. There it does begin a cycle of gestation and these cycles shall be determined by your own life cycles and momentum, measured by your application and your continuing building.

O be quickened now as the Keeper of the Scrolls does hand to you that scroll on which is written the meticulous instruction originally given to you by the mentor of Shamballa on the building of the chalice. [7-second pause]

Recording Angels with the Scrolls

I place my Electronic Presence over those who are able to receive me without discomfort. It shall remain twenty-four hours and longer according to your ability to be and to remain congruent with me.

Some of you have a momentum in giving “The Lord’s Ritual of Exorcism,” an action of the
Ruby Ray, or “The Lord’s Judgment by the Ruby Ray.” Thus, you have developed a certain co-measurement and coequation with the Ruby Ray. Some of you may receive a stronger or a less-concentrated manifestation of myself according to your aura.

Take note this day that what is marked clearly is an individual path unique to each chela,
unique to the level of karma and the level of bonding to the Guru whom you can see and therefore to the Guru whom you see not. Seek early the bonding of the heart in a sweet love tie to your Messenger, who loves you from the most profound depths of her being to the most profound depths of your own.

Fear not the bonding of brother and sister in Community through the Holy Spirit. Fear not this oneness. For love is the foundation and the fount of all power of God.

Therefore I say, take up the sword of the Ruby Ray! Slice through fear and doubt! Cast them out! Let them be removed. And sing the song of the New Day.

O thou seed of God, thou who dost contain the allness of this individualization of the God Flame in the smallness [of self], even as the grain of mustard seed does bring forth the giant tree, so let the tree of life prosper. Let the seed restored, then, be for the pattern of identity to manifest here below as Above.

I AM the Buddha of the Ruby Ray.

I pronounce my inner name. [15-second pause]

I have come. I have placed the seed in the chalice prepared and I return to other dimensions yet remain close at hand.

Reach out your hand now and receive my own, beloved. Feel my touch. Feel my compassion. Feel my comfort. Welcome my chastening rod. Know this: I shall not leave you where I have found you.

Thus, come. Come up higher! Let us climb the mountain together. Let us climb the highest mountain.

This dictation by the Buddha of the Ruby Ray was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet at the conclusion of the October 12, 1991 Saturday evening service during the four-day Class of the Golden Cycle held at the New Orleans Airport Hilton. Preceding the dictation of the Buddha of the Ruby Ray, the Messenger led the audience in “Heart Meditations for Those Who Would Be Candidates for the Ascension.” The meditations and dictation are available on two 90-min. audiocassettes, (A91127). The dictation is also available separately on 90-min. audiocassette (B91128).

1. Sanat Kumara, hierarch of the planet Venus, is known as the Ancient of Days (Dan. 7:9, 13, 22). Thousands of years ago, in Earth’s darkest hour, when all Light had gone out in her evolutions and cosmic councils had decreed the dissolution of the planet, Sanat Kumara volunteered to come to Earth to keep the threefold flame of Life on behalf of her people. One hundred and forty-four thousand souls from Venus volunteered to come with him to earth to support his mission. They vowed to keep the flame with him until the children of God would respond and turn once again to serve their Mighty I AM Presence. Four hundred who formed the avant-garde were sent ahead to build the magnificent retreat of Shamballa on an island in the Gobi Sea (now the Gobi Desert). There, Sanat Kumara anchored the focus of the threefold flame, establishing the initial thread of contact with all on Earth by xtending rays of light from his heart to their own. This retreat, once physical, was withdrawn to the etheric octave in subsequent dark ages. (See 1979 PoW, Book I, pp. 82-86, and glossary in Saint Germain

"Thus, I come to consecrate you in Victory’s flame to the victory spiral from the base to the crown, to the pure love of the ruby ray that you might know that truly our God in your midst is a consuming ruby fire. Thus, the Buddha of the Ruby Ray does appear in the sky and make known to you that the support from that level of the octaves of heaven is unto you in this hour for the consuming of the forces of anti-Victory that are bent upon the ruination of the rising Sun of these little ones.

"And these forces are determined to create chaos and world confusion and cataclysm and war. But they shall not pass when one Christed one is raised up to become a central sun, that ye all might also know the living Truth as the necessity of the hour."

The Buddha of the Ruby Ray was sent long ago by Sanat Kumara and Gautama Buddha to abide in the secret chamber of God in the heart of the earth. In his dictation on July 3, 1988, the Buddha of the Ruby Ray spoke of his acceptance of this assignment:

“Think back now upon the day when you did see me, as from Shamballa I went forth . . . All did watch as staff in hand, Ruby Ray focus about my neck, I did enter a cave and I did begin to walk and I did walk to the center of the earth . . . I was told in that hour and all heard it, ‘You shall not come forth until there be those on the surface of the earth who can hold the balance for the attainment that shall be thine own.’ So, beloved, you might say that I have been confined to hold the nucleus of a planet at the mercy of such as yourselves until you should arrive at the place of a similar love for the Ruby Ray.”

In that dictation, the Buddha of the Ruby Ray gave us a gift of a droplet of Ruby Ray, which he said could be retained by us only if we kept the flame of internal love and harmony. He said:

“I come to reinforce Buddhic presence in your heart and leave indeed a replica, in outline only, of my form that you may fill in as you become the Buddha and see me mirrored in self. For I desire to live on the surface of earth in the hearts of true devotees of the Buddha. It is my prayer that you will accord me this to make my wish come true.”

During the 1989 Harvest class, Cuzco announced that the Buddha of the Ruby Ray, in answer to the call of the Keepers of the Flame, had literally walked step by step from the center of the earth to be present in our Community and to assist us in dealing with the negative forces at hand. Let us remember to give the mantra dictated by Lanello, February 26, 1986:

Let the Ruby Ray and the Ruby Ray angels and the Buddha of the Ruby Ray dissolve now all Darkness pitted against the Church Universal and Triumphant!

(See the two prior dictations of the Buddha of the Ruby Ray: 1986 PoW, Book II, pp. 633-36, and 1988 PoW, Book II, pp. 535-38.)
