Candidate for the Ascension
Light-bearers of the immortal flame of freedom, I AM come because God in you has triumphed this day-by a step, by a little bit, by a vast expanse! For who can measure the eternal victory of God when chaliced by the soul who has surrendered and therefore can contain the essence of that ruby ray, the blood of Christ as the single drop of Life that does ignite an immortal spiral and therefore give to each one the golden victorious light for the victory in the fight!
I will tell you why I have come: because within this room is a single candidate for the ascension.
Therefore, I AM magnetized by a single heart. And thus, I bow before the light of the ascension flame in that disciple who now bears both the promise and the opportunity of accelerated initiation.
One will say, "Is it I, Lord?" And another will say, "It is I." And someone will say, "It is not me!"
Blessed hearts, for the purposes of discussion (and that far more so), let each one assume "I am he." For by the very process of this single assumption, you may also earn the seat of authority.
Assume then, let us, that you are a candidate for the ascension. You ought to realize that at the hour and the moment of the drawing of this line, the real initiations begin.
Candidacy for the ascension comes because of many incarnations of striving, personal self-discipline, and a love that cares for God more than self-more than selfishness or self-concern or the little discords of the moment that eat away like rats at the fabric of the immortal garment.
Understand, then, that it is a precarious moment, for there is no guarantee that the candidate will succeed. Yet I must say that to receive a candidate for the ascension in full ceremony, I must have the assurance at Luxor that that one has vested within himself the awareness of the Godhead and its potential to dwell bodily in him. <1>
The individual must sense himself worthy to be a co-creator with God and to contain the God flame of the chela that can hold the balance with the God flame of the Guru.
At the moment of this candidacy, beloved heart, the one who is disciple is no longer called "disciple" but "friend." Therefore, let the friend appear. Let the friend arise!
Let the one anointed understand that this friendship with God bears the burden of the supreme obligation of unmitigated love-love first for the Mighty I AM Presence, love for the Guru, love in action that keeps on keeping on with the rhythm and the flow of Life!
There is a movement in those who are alive with the ascension flame! There is a flow, beloved hearts, that is such a measured beat of striving that that one does not depart from that blessed sine wave that is like the ironclad armor of the victory!
While souls are born and others are dying, while some make the transition of octaves and of planes, while some are candidates for the second death, the one who is the friend of God holds the balance for all others who may arrive at that single point: candidate for the ascension.
Beloved hearts, some fallen ones, some individuals with such an erroneous consciousness of Life, live in the delusion of a personal relationship with Serapis or Saint Germain or El Morya, when they are nowhere near even the borders of reality or the hem of the garment of the Mother herself. And the sweet, childlike heart, the sweetest, purest soul, will not even voice an opinion of being a part of the legions of Luxor, when that precious heart is truly the one to whom I speak.
Beware false humility! Beware false pride! Beware that you wear the garment of diligence, purity, and love.
All things can be attained by diligence, purity, and love.
Purity contains all of the wisdom of God, for that which is pure is the all-knowing mind. That which is pure contains the all-power of God, for purity is strength. "My strength is as the strength of ten, because my heart is pure." <2>
Purity is the light-the light, O the light! One flashing brilliance, one moment of that light, and so you know who is God, who is yourself, who is thy neighbor, who is the friend. Who indeed.
Therefore, the quality of diligence in appropriating all of the virtues of purity and the foundation of the personal love of the Personal God. These three, these three-faith, hope, and charity-by any other name are still the essential virtues of Life.
What joy it is to find each one a stalk, as the iris-purple, blooming in spring!
What joy to find chelas whose hearts ring with the echo of the bell of Luxor!
What joy it is to come to a sanctuary prepared where the chelas of the will of God have gotten the victory over the beast, <3> where the Lord does triumph, where Shiva does dance, where Mother Mary can appear, and where the light of the Holy Three is steadfast upon the eye of the Manchild who is not lost but found again and will appear, year upon year upon year, from out the womb of the Cosmic Virgin!
Therefore, O blessed ones, there is a turning of worlds as Elohim repeat the sounding, sounding joy of the Word!
And the worlds turn on
And the voices are heard
And the flowers sing
And the grasses are adorned with a new green
Of the perception of the Infinite!
And the very earth has eyes
That gaze into the skies.
And the glory of reality
Is made permanent
In the very heart of the violets singing.
O singing violet,
Violets that sing the violet flame,
Adorn these souls in spring,
That they might return to Luxor
And rejoice and celebrate
That one among them
Is truly given that accord!
Blessed ones, you know it well: one ascension per year is the requirement to
keep the spin of earth, to keep the worlds turning and the rotations and the
revolutions and the light of Helios and Vesta.
This candidate is not a candidate to ascend in this year but in the fullness of a lifetime of victory. Yet I call to your attention that there is another who waits to pass through the gate into the higher octaves for the celebration of the year 1982.
And these are Keepers of the Flame around the world who keep the flame with Lanello, who garland the earth with lilies and who, in the fullness of the time that is come, when all that life has to offer and they to offer life is come now as the bouquet at the nexus of the figure eight-they are ready then to step through the veil to higher octaves and to leave the garment behind, that it might be consigned to the living flame.
The victory of God on earth is the celebration of this day, is the celebration of the union of twin flames, is the very presence here of Lanello.
I have come to be present, then-for the invocation and the call, for the stripping action of your four lower bodies, for the light that is upon you. Therefore, I call those who are a part of this class to return momentarily, that they might be in my immediate aura for this invocation that I would make.
O beloved Alpha, I, Serapis Bey, thy son in light, called and anointed by thee to appear at Camelot this day, do kneel before the altar of the Holy Grail for and on behalf of these light-bearers and all who hold the similar light throughout the spheres.
I appear, then, as the reinforcement of the mighty light rays of the ascension current-light of Omega borne now by seraphic bands, light of Elohim, archangel, chohan, Maha Chohan.
I AM the acceleration of the piercing light within these auras, within these hearts and chakras, within these four lower bodies! And I blaze the light through to the very quick, to the very heart, to the very soul, to the mind and consciousness!
I AM the piercing of the veil!
I AM the seizing of every demon and discarnate that has ever lurked there that the Great Law will allow!
By thy law, O Alpha, I AM the action for the restoration of the soul unto the divine image, for the pure and perfect clearing, for the light that does not fail-for that light to prevail now in their worlds to seal them by the light of the Christed One.
I AM thy God, O living soul.
I AM thy God which healeth thee.
I AM the healing Presence. For I AM the light of the Mother flame. And the Mother flame is the light of eternal Life!
Therefore, resurrection flame from out the Great Central Sun, resurrect holy purpose, health, and the divine appearing within these temples and in those who are now touched by the dove of the Holy Spirit throughout the spheres who are also ready for this intercession of Luxor from the heart of Serapis Bey.
By the mighty figure-eight flow from the heart of Alpha and Omega through the heart of the messenger, I, Serapis Bey, invoke the mighty sword of blue flame!
Archangel Michael, ELOHIM, El Morya, and Lord Gautama Buddha:
Let the mighty sword perform its perfect work!
Let the sword go forth from out the mouth of Lord Maitreya!
Let the two-edged sword part the veil!
Seize! now, angels of the flaming sword, angels of Archangel Michael, seize! now, seize! now, seize! now the cause and core of every rebellion against the living Word.
I AM Serapis Bey. I come for the clearing of all disobedience, stubbornness, defiance of the law of Life, all rebellion and all anti-Christ manifestations in the mind, the soul, the heart, the four lower bodies.
I AM that purging light. And I seize, in the name of God, all that you release in the name of your free will, souls of light.
And therefore, angels of Gabriel gather. Bind, then, the momentums of anti-Buddha, anti-Christ! Burn through, O holy ones of God!
Seraphic hosts of the Central Sun, Justinius, Gabriel and Hope, send thy white-fire legions now! Blaze the light of mighty Hope! Burn through by the Holy Christ Self!
I AM the intercessor for the free.
I AM the intercessor of life unto the newborn in Christ.
I AM the intercessor in light for those who are the true
devotees of the Mother's heart.
Blaze the light! Blaze the light! Blaze the light of freedom!
I command it in the name of Almighty God!
Lo, I AM Serapis Bey! By the mantle of the ascension, by the mantle of the Mother whose authority I bear and who does bear my own on earth, I AM the extension now of the ruby ray. For it is the fulfillment of the vow that you have made from the beginning to serve Him and Him alone.
I recall now and reinforce-etched now in crystal, etched in the very crystal of thy being, O soul of light-the memory of the descent, the memory of the departure from the court of Alpha and Omega, the memory of the love, the memory of the universal mind of God, the memory of the wisdom now. Blaze the light through! Blaze the light through! Blaze the light through!
Thus, the restoration of that memory by this inscription
upon the crystal of being will be unto you that sense, that awareness, that
inner infusion of Be-ness, of your own oneness with the Father/Mother God from
the beginning unto the ending.
O soul of light, hasten, hasten, hasten thy return unto the One! Hasten now!
Hasten now! Hasten thy return unto the One!
I decree it.
I AM Serapis.
I AM keeping the flame of Luxor unto the appointed hour of
the turning of the worlds.
I AM sealing the heart of the Inner Retreat.
I AM sealing the heart of our servant there.
I AM sealing the heart of every forcefield and focus of the
ascended masters upon earth!
Where our servants dwell, where the disciple is, where
the
friend of God is-I AM there!
I AM sealing the heart!
I AM sealing the life!
I AM sealing the vow!
I AM sealing the soul, mind, and discipline!
By, therefore, true diligence, by true purity, by true
love,
Go forth now to conquer!
Go forth now to conquer, flaming ones!
Go forth now to conquer, flaming ones!
Hasten ye, hasten ye! For the day of the Lord draweth
nigh.
And quickly flies the bird of the heart.
Quickly flies the bird of the heart.
