An Ideal Ascended-Master Family
Rearing Children on the Path
An Invitation to the Cave of Symbols
Blessed hearts, in the fervor of Divine Love I am come to you in this hour. So grateful am I that I may come back to tell you, who are on the other side of the wall, <1> so to speak, of the glories of reunion in the realm celestial.
I speak to you, then, of your understanding and your practical knowledge of what must be done to right the axis of society, of education, of government, of the hearts of many who are hardened.
When you see representatives in government and industry so bloated with the fat of their own selfishness and lust, you could almost despair of civilization ever moving forward into a golden age. I say to you, make up for those who know not what they do, many of whom have lost their souls long ago and snuffed out the threefold flame for want of tending it in daily invocation at the altar of God.
I would speak to you of music as an instrument to call many souls Home. The music you have written, orchestrated and performed is a magnificent magnet. As you continue to bring forth this music, releasing it to the nations as quickly as possible, you will find that many who are lost will be drawn to this altar or to one of the altars of this Church that you have raised throughout the earth. And they shall swiftly know the Path and set aside all past ignorance. They shall know the way, beloved, for they shall follow the music all the way Home to God.
Let this work be a priority, for the music of Elohim can and does heal nations and souls when pure hearts and voices deliver it. As music such as Finlandia could galvanize a people for freedom, <2> so, beloved, this music can galvanize souls to return in simple sweetness to the heart of the Holy Christ Self.
I come, then, with our children, Rex and Nada, also ascended. What a happy reunion it is when an entire family (and even an extended family) finds itself ascended in the Light and free in the etheric octave!
This Community of the Brotherhood is a great family of souls that extends throughout the world. And there are many, many more to be drawn to this place, which, if they make it so, can be the place of their souls liberation.
May you indeed cherish God-Reality and never for a moment compromise your path or your soul. For God is truly present in his All-Seeing Eye. That eye can guide you and, if you follow it, you need never err again.
This is the path of victory. Know that it is fraught with many dangers. Keep on the Path, beloved. Do not stray from it. For the Path will guide you until you are at home in Divine Love with all whom you have ever been with in past incarnations, all the way back to the Beginning, when you were created with your twin flame.
We are interested in accelerating the education of children who come through the dispensation of this Church. We are concerned that they will have the wherewithal to bring back the culture of Atlantis and Lemuria from when the civilizations of these continents were at their height. The culture of music is especially important, for it is essential to the healing of their souls.
Let the children rejoice in gymnastics, in physical development, in the healing and expanding of the mind that the mind might be the chalice of the Mind of God.
Let children know at an early age that they can listen to the voice of the Inner Christ and commune with that Christ daily. The beauty of the Montessori method is that it encourages this communion. As you know, Maria Montessori recognized the inner Teacher, whom we call the Holy Christ Self. By constant daily communion, little children are approaching the day and the hour when their souls will be bonded to the Sacred Heart of their own Holy Christ Self.
Is it not a beautiful thing to see the intuition of children and their sense of rightness or wrongness in a given situation?
How sensitive are the sweet souls that you are bringing forth!
So many souls who have engaged in enormous travail for
the cause of Light have lost their lives under the weight of planetary karma.
As you know, your beloved El Morya is burdened by the plight of the Tibetans.
So many have been slaughtered and abused, and the Tibetan culture of thousands
of years is being destroyed before your very eyes. <3>
Great devotees of light have had to go through the pain of death only to return
again, some because of their karma and some solely because of atrocities committed
against them, which aborted their missions. Many of these are ready to be born
again, and they yearn to be in a place of protection in the United States, even
in this very Community. We pray that many who are part of this Church throughout
the world will volunteer to bring forth the great lights of Tibet and those
other spiritual elite from around the world who are deserving.
We look to the future and to generations unborn. We look to you as God-parents who will bring in souls who one day shall champion the cause of the Brotherhood. That day may not be far hence, for the desire of our Father-Mother God is to accelerate the light, to hasten the days and to shorten them for the elects sake. <4> This is our desire also, beloved. Therefore, give the children ample opportunity for development. For each one is so precious. Each one can become both a follower and a leader on the path of Reality.
Be certain when your children watch television or a
movie or a cartoon that you explain to them what is real and what is not real.
Explain that what they see on film is a creation of someones mind, conceived
more often than not with the goal of making money. Let your children learn early
to recognize and analyze the commercialism and violence that are paraded before
their eyes and the third eye. <5>
At a very young age children know the difference between black and white, good
and bad. Let their consciences develop. Let their Inner Christ Presence develop.
And always help them distinguish between what is ultimately and eternally real
and what is not real but ephemeral and only a part of the passing scene. When
you train your children to know Reality, they will lean upon that Reality in
God long after you have passed beyond the veil and transcended this earth.
Let your children become citadels for the Rock of Christ. Let them be pillars in the temple, embodying the pure perfection of Jesus. Teach them to be compassionate and caring and loving toward all life. Do not be harsh with them; for if you are, they will be harsh with others. And then harshness begets harshness down the centuries.
The Aquarian age is the age of a disciplined love and an open door for healing if the people will receive it. But the healing must begin with a prayer to God for forgiveness for the original cause of ones condition.
Daniel and I desire to give of ourselves to you from now through the end of Summit University this summer. We shall be at your side as role models, and our family with us, so that you might come to know an ideal Ascended Master family. And thereby you may realize that in the gentleness and the love of family members an everlasting bond can be forged unto eternity between souls brought together in this life and past lives to prepare for their ascension.
I am grateful to be here, talking with you regarding the burdens of the times and the struggles you sometimes have in rearing your children and in dealing with the pulls upon them through peer pressure and the media, which appears determined to destroy them before they blossom.
Take care. Your most precious possession is your children. Care for them. For they are the wave of the future, and it is to them that you will pass the torch of the golden age.
Plant your seeds wisely. Bring comfort to life and set an example of sacrifice. If you think your children must have everything and all of your time and attention, then think again because such indulgence does not ready them for the path of victory.
Children must learn early of what it means to be selfless, to set aside ones own needs to meet the greater needs of another. They must understand what it means to give up something they want because someone else needs it more. They need to be taught that when someone is in a dire situation we sacrifice to help that one or that ones family. For if children are not accustomed to sacrifice, they will not make the necessary sacrifices to pass their soul testings later in life.
It has been the way in the West for a number of generations for people to want their children to have more and better than they had. As a result, many children have been spoiled. Less is better, for then children tap their own ingenuity and figure out for themselves what they need and how to get it. The simple things in life are what children needabove all, constant affection and support.
Serving others graciously must also be ingrained, else children will not serve when they are adults, neither in the home or in the neighborhood, nor in the community or even in this organization. Service is a duty of life that all must share in. Giving of oneself begets an increasing fire of love.
Children need to know how to infuse life with love, love for one another, so that the persecutions on the playground of life cease and the giving of self becomes the order of the day amongst both the little ones and the older ones.
Civilization has changed. Today there are many hardships that come upon families that tear them apart. Yet the essentials of prayer, communion and oneness with ones family are the bastions that protect children from experiencing the dark despair that they go through when they never see their parents and therefore become hardened against them and against society.
You have seen this repeated for decades now as mothers have joined the work force when their children were still young. I pray that you will call for the circle and sword of Astrea to cut the children free. Call to the Brotherhood to give them the Divine Love that will bring them surcease from inner sorrow and pain and longing for the love of their parents. Give the children wisdom. Give them the understanding of the challenges of today. And support them all the way to their victory.
There is no time when you are not a parent to your children, though your children may be raising their own children. Ones children are always ones children. I know that you desire to see your children Home victorious in this life. Work at it, beloved. Pray for it every day of your life. Pray for your children and all the children of the world.
One hundred years hence, this world shall be in the hands of generations not yet born. Lay your foundations for these souls now and give to Saint Germain the very best offering of your hearts: Endow your children with the wisdom, the balance and the profound compassion that they will need for their victory.
Saint Germain invites one and all attending this conference to come to the Cave of Symbols <6> this night. I shall conclude my remarks now and ask you to go quietly to your place of rest and to make the call to be taken by your angels to the Cave of Symbols, there to truly commune with Saint Germain. For he has much to teach you at inner levels, even as he taught us.
Saint Germain is preparing you for your ascension every day of your life. Trust him, beloved.
To one and to all I say: Onward, victory!
The five-day Easter Retreat 1995 was held April 12 through 16, 1995, at the
Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. This dictation by the Ascended Lady
Master Nada Rayborn was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood,
Elizabeth Clare Prophet, on Good Friday, April 14, 1995.
[N.B. This dictation was edited for print by the Messenger under the Ascended Lady Master Nada Rayborns direction.] Throughout these notes PoW is the abbreviation for Pearls of Wisdom.
1. Nada refers here to the Buddhist tale about the three
men and the wall. As the story goes, the first man boosts the second one up
to see what is going on on the other side of the wall. After surveying the scene,
he goes into bliss and climbs over the wall. The third man is then boosted up
and he too climbs over. The one remaining says to himself: Well, I am
going to find out whats going on on the other side of that wall!
He then climbs up and sees the souls of beings who are liberated. But instead
of joining them, he forgoes his own liberation and climbs back down to tell
the world of his discovery. (See also 1991 PoW, pp. 93-94.)
2. Finlandia by Jean Sibelius (opus 26, 1899). Finland was under Russian rule
from 1809 to 1917, when Finland formally declared her independence. The music
of Finnish composer Sibelius, which captured the spirit of the great Finnish
epics and legends, heartened the Finns in their movement toward independence.
The chorale from Finlandia became so associated with the independence movement
that the Russian czar forbade performances of it during periods of political
crisis. Following Finlands declaration of independence in 1917, the new
republic defeated leftists attempts to overthrow the government. The Finnish
republic fought again during World War II to maintain independence.
3. Destruction of Tibetan culture. See 1988 PoW, Book I, pp. 185-88; and pp.
58, 59, 62 n. 5, 94 n. 7; and Elizabeth Clare Prophet, July 5, 1989, The
Attack on the Sangha of the Buddha, on two 90-min. audiocassettes, B89102-3,
$15.00 plus $2.50 postage and handling.
4. Matt. 24:22; Mark 13:20.
5. Second graders boycott violent childrens shows and sponsors. As reported
on ABC News, second graders in an elementary school in Oregon were given a homework
assignment to watch one-half hour of childrens shows and count the incidents
of violence, i.e., hitting, kicking and use of weapons. In 12 hours of programming,
the children found 649 incidents of violence, or roughly one incident per minute.
The results surprised the children and some decided that the violent programs
were affecting their behavior. The second graders wrote a Declaration of Independence
from Violence, pledging to boycott both the shows and their sponsors. As one
little girl said, I really didnt know there was that much violence
on TV....I didnt even know what violence was. The teacher, Susan
Colonna, said, My hope is that the children will have the information
to make choices, [information] that they wouldnt have had before.
