Thanksgiving Day Address 1996

Let scintillating light rays pierce the gloom of mankind’s karma! So intensify, Elohim of God, Elohim of Peace, Uriel Archangel, Aurora! So come forth! Penetrate through the fabric of the earth, of the soul, of the mind, of the heart.

Indeed, let the hearts of the people be purged of all impurities lest there come upon the nations a great burden of darkness. Therefore I do recommend that you make sacrifices in the form of penances, fastings and prayers for the alleviation of world karma.

I welcome you to my heart on this Thanksgiving Day. It is the eve of another year and the beginning of the prophesied shortening of days for the elect’s sake. Therefore I remind you of the words that I spake long ago: “And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved. But for the elect’s sake, those days shall be shortened.” <1>

It is the hour of the judgment of the fallen angels whose time is come. And as I said, their flesh shall in no wise be saved. For unto this very day they have refused to bend the knee and to confess that my mantle is the mantle of the avatar of the Piscean age.

Thus I speak to you of the role that I have fulfilled during these 2,150 years that will shortly come to their conclusion. <*> You yourselves have experienced sudden changes; and whereas you have thought to walk to the right, you have walked to the left. Simply put, the people do not know which way to turn.

History is replete with the rise and fall of ancient and modern civilizations. These events have passed before humanity again and again. And for some it is as if in a night and a day their whole world were collapsing. People have carried these records lifetime after lifetime through the collective unconscious. But today these records are being brought to the surface so that the individual might know that the hour of the descent of his specific karma draweth nigh. And as a result, there is a malaise running through the stream of the planetary psyche.

A Twenty-Four-Hour Dispensation

The floodgates are opened! The majesty of Sanat Kumara appears! And, lo, this Great One does determine the signs, the seasons and the cycles wherein each one may choose to take the opportunity for Christhood. Yet I caution you that the road not taken may be an opportunity lost for thousands of years.

As you know, my servant John recorded the Book of Revelation under my direction. I refer you to 3:20, 21: “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame and am set down with my Father in his throne.”

Therefore I bid you open the door and invite my Sacred Heart to be one with your heart. Yes, beloved, receive me into your heart during the next twenty-four hours that I might heal your heart. Allow me to heal your pain and allow yourself to receive my grace. If you are able to transcend your pain and to reach out to me, I will surely draw your soul into the heaven-world on this Thanksgiving Day.

The recording angels who serve the Keeper of the Scrolls are walking up and down the land inscribing in each one’s book of life whether or not a given soul may receive divine intercession in the coming dark days. Some have no meritorious deeds and no sacrificial acts to their credit, for they have not extended themselves on behalf of the poor, the needy and the downtrodden.

We enter a period of the intensification of the Dark Cycle. Therefore, as I said to my apostle Paul, who in my name preached to the Thessalonians:

But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.

—I Thess. 5:1-9

Those whom the Keeper of the Scrolls has singled out as selfless servants of God will receive a mitigation of their karma in these twenty-four hours. This dispensation is unto those who have received Saint Germain into their hearts and who religiously apply his violet flame for the transmutation of personal and planetary karma. And thereby, through the Holy Spirit, they are balancing their karma and moving on in the ascending cycles of being. However, those who have shunned the path of universal freedom that I, Jesus, have offered them, lo, these two thousand years, have, then, a mountain of karma and a mountain of neglect.

A Mountain of Karma

I bring to your attention the file of a staff member who departed this Community some years back. The Messenger had made known to him <**> that the substance of his karma was, on the astral plane, as molten lava flowing out of an active volcano, typifying that one’s perpetually flowing conscious and unconscious anger.

The Messenger also told him that when the lava solidified, it would represent the sum total of his karma. And due to such a horrendous karma, he would have to crawl up that mountain, metaphorically speaking, on his hands and knees in order to balance lifetimes of karma wherein he did heap fiery coals of indignation upon blameless souls. And although his karma was upon him, he would not and did not cease to criticize the Messenger and other members of our Community.

Imagine having to climb such a mountain of personal karma while crying out to God for mercy when one’s offense has been to withhold mercy from others! How would you feel if your karma were a mountain of molten lava turned into volcanic rock? Yet that hardness of heart produced a solidification in him that is also the blind spot of many, though they will not admit it.

Many have created mountains of karma that one day they will have to cast into the violet flame—shovelful by shovelful. Their only alternative to this backbreaking task is to choose the second death. <2> This alternative is the choice not to be. In this scenario, the mercy of the Great Law cancels out the soul. And this, my beloved, is the fork in the road that many are coming to at the end of the twentieth century—to be or not to be, to exist or not to exist.

Unfortunately, many choose not to be and not to exist. They would rather pass into oblivion than move the mountain of their karma shovelful by shovelful. They say, “It is too hard! It is too hard!” And whereas Moses taught them to choose Life, not Death, <3> they have chosen Death, and God respects their choice.

Indeed many, even those who have touched the hem of the Messenger’s garment, have not given their life to God that their life might truly beget eternal life. Thus there comes a time at the end of each age when there is no more mitigation for the sins of the soul save the cumulative good karma, which the Keeper of the Scrolls has recorded in the soul’s personal book of life.

This, then, is a serious matter. For each man stands on his own, whether he shall rise, whether he shall fall, and whether or not he shall be master of himself. As I have written: “If we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries [i.e., the fallen angels whose time is up].” <4>

Intercession Is Restricted

Down through the centuries God has interceded on behalf of his sons and daughters. But at the end of this age, intercession is restricted to those who have cast themselves upon the living rock of the Universal Christ. We four—Lord Sanat Kumara, Lord Gautama Buddha, Lord Maitreya and I—are one. I count myself the least among these.

And so, beloved, for some it is the day and the hour of the recompense. Millions are in pain–children, the elderly, the rich, the poor. Are they miraculously cured? Do I walk in their midst and forthwith take upon myself the burden of their karma? Nay, I do not!

For they have made their beds of pain and they must lie in their beds of pain until they are ready to take responsibility for their karma. For the fulfilling of the law requires that “every man shall bear his own burden [of karma].” <5> I myself, by cosmic law, am no longer permitted to bear the sins of the world–mankind’s cumulative negative karma of the last 25,800 years. <6>

We the hierarchs of the Piscean age are moving on and you must move with us. Therefore if you have been chary with your decrees, we put you on notice that this is the day and the time and the place to accelerate your use of the science of the spoken Word. For only those dynamic decrees that you have given will stand you in good stead. And those dynamic decrees that you have not given will, of course, not stand you in good stead. And thus whatever you should have done, might have done but have not done—perhaps because of your procrastination—will be a zero in your personal book of life.

Beloved, it is time for you to assess your world. Today the nations are helpless to deal with the millions of displaced persons who are running from their governments, their armies and opposing tribes who are committing genocide.

Think, then: Are any of you better than the least of these the brethren or greater than the greatest of the Ascended Masters?

Remember, you were not chosen because you had the violet flame upon your arrival at Maitreya’s Mystery School. You were chosen because Saint Germain called you to his service and because your soul had proven her merit in this and previous lifetimes.

And so, forevermore and day by day, give praise and honor to Saint Germain, for by his gift of the violet flame you have internalized some portion of the living fount of cosmic freedom within your four lower bodies. And as a result, you may come to know an extraordinary resurrection in this life.

Throughout the decades of our Messenger’s service, she has given you this message: Do not think that because terrorism has not yet happened in your own backyard, it will not happen. It can happen in a moment—in the lighting of one match, the squeezing of a trigger, the detonating of a bomb, the firing of a rocket.

Terrorism has erupted in New York, Oklahoma City, Dhahran and Riyadh. It marred the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. It was narrowly averted in Phoenix and again in New York. It can happen anywhere. <7>

Is there no recourse when it comes to dealing with terrorists? There is little recourse through law enforcement. For the United States has welcomed to its shores peoples from around the world, some of whom are determined to move against the integrity of this nation and the peoples who have settled here in good faith and in good conscience because they want to be a part of the American dream.

The times are tenuous. Yet as the moments and the months and the years move on, you will look back at the tally of acts of terrorism and acts of constructivism that have taken place by the turn of the century and specifically by 2002. And you will know that major changes for the betterment of the world and every soul on earth have taken place because you gave your finest hours to Saint Germain and his violet-flame decrees.

But if you have neglected to give your finest hours to Saint Germain, you will be likened unto the foolish among the

ten virgins [who] took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

And at midnight there was a cry made, “Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.”

Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

And the foolish said unto the wise, “Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.”

But the wise answered, saying, “Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.”

And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, “Lord, Lord, open to us.”

But he answered and said, “Verily I say unto you, I know you not.”

Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.—Matt. 25:1-13

And so I counsel you, beloved, to store light within the lamps of your chakras and to conserve the sacred fire on your spinal altar, even as you increase in the wisdom and stature of God. Through loving obedience to your Holy Christ Self, you will come to recognize the still, small voice, the voice of conscience within you, who gives you unerring guidance.

Conditional Love

Now, my beloved, won’t you lovingly receive my teaching that I gave you two thousand years ago and that I also give you today:

“As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

“This is my commandment: that ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.” <8>

Now I would speak to you of this conditional love. Conditional love means that the Father and the Son love you conditionally, not unconditionally. Therefore, study my words and note the conditions of our love for you: “If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love.” Conversely, this means that if ye do not keep my commandments, ye shall not abide in my love. Again, I underscored to my disciples the conditional nature of my love for them when I said, “Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.”

Violet Flame: The Ultimate Gift

Saint Germain has given you the gift of the violet flame. And indeed it is the ultimate gift that an Ascended Master can give to a chela. For it liberates you to take dominion over yourself rather than asking the Lord God and his hosts to do it for you.

Long ago the leaders of the world’s major religions could have led their followers to embrace the violet flame of the Holy Spirit, even as they could have taught them the science of the spoken Word in the application of violet-flame decrees. And by now they could have introduced the violet flame to every household on earth with stupendous results.

Yet in their pride they were not about to cede their place. At subconscious levels they rejected the flame because it was offered to them by the Messenger, who is the representative of the World Mother, whose coming has been anticipated for thousands of years.

Had they surrendered their pride as well as their seat of human authority, by this date the Messenger could have brought to the world the glorious message of Saint Germain and the power of the violet flame. This was the plan of the Darjeeling Council. And with your help and God’s help, she may yet do so.

Therefore I ask you to pray fervently to the Goddess of Justice to give our Messenger another opportunity to bring to the world Saint Germain’s glorious gift. For this flame, when invoked by millions of people worldwide, can transmute the ills of an entire civilization.

And had the clergy of the world’s major religions accepted Saint Germain’s gift of the violet flame through the World Mother, the people would have been free to set the world on fire with violet flame! Even two-thirds of the nations engaged in giving the violet flame would have been enough to transform the world. Even 51 percent could have averted or at least greatly mitigated World War II.

Is it too late, beloved?

They say it is never too late. But there does come a time when it is too late. Yes, the cycles do turn, and it is possible for you to miss your calling in this life if you have taken for granted the blessings of the Ascended Masters.

Thus, internalize the Word!

Activate the Word!

And give the sacrificial gift of the Word!

For whatever you give to God, he will give you in return.

“Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” <9> As the Preacher said, “Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.” <10>

Thus, in the hour of your greatest need, the good that you have sent forth will return to you in abundant measure.

Follow the Adepts

Remember, beloved, your victory depends upon your full acceptance of the peace-commanding I AM Presence, who lives within your temple. Remember, if you desire to receive God’s empowerment and to wield God’s power, you must submit the musings of your own soul and your own mind to the laws of cosmic truth. For God has drawn a fine line of discrimination between truth and error, which is up to you to decipher.

What shall become of this nation? What shall become of the youth? How far can we go before the entire ship of state is capsized due to the imbalances in the psyche of the nation and its people.

If in this very moment you could hear the moaning and groaning of souls in agony on the astral plane or on beds of pain on earth, you would cry out to the living God for mercy on their behalf. Yet you do not hear their cries, beloved, for only those close to the dying hear their cries.

Thus I paint you a picture, for I desire that you should not always view life with a false optimism. Nor can you say that all is well within your members if you have not slain “the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit” <11> to assail your soul. Therefore I step through the veil through your Holy Christ Self, and I enter your temple and abide with you. May you espouse the goal of your own God-Mastery and God-Control. For to that end I lead you day by day.

Do not waste this or a future lifetime in the neglect of your personal God-Power under the Great Divine Director, your personal God-Love under Saint Germain, your personal God-Mastery under me, your personal God-Control under Helios, your personal God-Obedience under Godfré, your personal God-Wisdom under El Morya, your personal God-Harmony under Serapis Bey, your personal God-Gratitude under the Goddess of Liberty, your personal God-Justice under Lord Lanto, your personal God-Reality under Mighty Victory, your personal God-Vision under Cyclopea, and your personal God-Victory under Lord Maitreya.

Accept us as your role models, for we will show you the way to empowerment—God’s way. And the way of empowerment of all who have preceded you and moved on is the way of Divine Love.

Over the centuries I have lived and moved among the adepts of the ages. Yes, for thousands of years I have walked the planet with such great Lights as our father Enoch, Melchizedek, the Ancient of Days, the prophets of Israel and Judah and the mighty ones of the Far East—Gautama, Maitreya, Padma Sambhava, Bodhidharma and Lao Tzu, to name but a few.

Officially I have fulfilled my mission on behalf of the evolutions of earth, yet I will tarry to bring home the elect of the earlier root races, who are about to graduate from earth’s schoolroom. All of these have agreed to accept Saint Germain’s violet flame and his teachings for the age of Aquarius that will assist them in making their ascension.

Yes, I must bring home those who in many cases have earned their ascension yet require lessons on soul refinement from the Messenger. She will teach them how to transmute the five poisons and the sixth <12> by observing Gautama’s Middle Way. By diligent application to these lessons, they will know a freedom and an empowerment that they never dreamed they could realize in such a short time.

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.

These Are the Days Prophesied

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>

Choose the High Road

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.

As the prophet Daniel wrote:

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.

—Dan. 5:18-28 [end setoff]

In that very night, Belshazzar was slain and another took over his kingdom.

Let us consider the parable that I put forth concerning the mystery of the tares among the wheat:

The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, “Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?”

He said unto them, “An enemy hath done this.” The servants said unto him, “Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?”

But he said, “Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

“Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, ‘Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.’”

—Matt. 13:24-30

When you give the Judgment Call, <21> untold numbers of my angels form a V around you; and they march in formation as they prepare to bind the fallen angels whose time is up. At that moment it is up to you to deliver my Judgment Call in the full power of the science of the spoken Word that the Messengers have taught you.

Use this call, as I have commanded you, so that my angels might gather the “tares” and bind them in bundles and burn them, and then gather the “wheat” into my barn. In this wise, my angels will bind the fallen angels and remove them from the earth!

Now call to the hosts of the Lord and the Seven Archangels, and empower them in your name to take the fallen angels to other systems of worlds or to the Court of the Sacred Fire, where Divine Justice shall be meted out to them. The deliverance of the people of earth from the seed of the Wicked One has been coming for tens of thousands of years. And today this deliverance is upon you!

Only give the Judgment Call and my legions shall bind them and take them from the earth! The Great Law requires that the citizens of the world call forth the judgment upon those who make war against the remnant of the seed of the Woman. These are they which keep the commandments of God and have my testimony. <22>

Guard Your Threefold Flame

Think of it! Think of the unlimited energy God gives you every day! And think of what can happen when earth’s people return to the daily ritual of the quickening of heart and mind, of the spiritual path and of the self-knowledge of their immortality.

Without the flame of immortality, which is another name for the threefold flame that burns on the altar of your heart, you have nothing to fall back on but the dust of which you are made. Therefore, guard the flame of your immortality, for it is your life—the only life that you can take with you into the kingdom of God. And from the I AM THAT I AM, that life is fed to you drop by drop over the silver cord from the very heart of hearts of Almighty God.

Know, then, what is real in you and what is unreal in you. And know for a certainty that your permanent reality resides in your threefold flame. Keep the flame. Do not snuff it out, whether in pride or in anger. If you lose your threefold flame, it may take you many centuries to gain it back. For until your Holy Christ Self reignites it and you have balanced the karma of snuffing it out, no Ascended Master will sponsor you on a one-on-one basis.

I know of a number of devotees in this Community who, through numerous episodes of pride and anger, snuffed out their threefold flame a long time ago. They felt the flame go out when it happened. Immediately they asked God for a penance, and ever since they have prayed without ceasing for that flame to be restored. These have seared in their memory that in an unguarded moment it is possible for one to lose this essential element of being. And their greatest concern is that they might come to the end of this life without having regained that divine spark.

So you see, beloved, the flame of your immortality is the most precious gift God has given you. And though it be God’s, he has given it to you to tend and to fan.

In the course of her service, the Messenger has noted that a number of people who have left the Path have coincidentally snuffed out their threefold flame. They had repeatedly played Russian roulette with their divine spark. Observing this phenomenon, the Messenger has grieved profoundly. Think about this, beloved: how many times can one play Russian roulette and win? It is impossible to know. Therefore when one plays the game, one plays to lose.

In your present state, you cannot know when a specific deed of darkness you commit will result in the loss of your threefold flame. If you want to be on the safe side, take nothing for granted. Once and for all, establish a path of humility and walk that path daily. Be the servant of the flame in all, even as you tend the flame upon the altar of your heart.

Guard the citadels of your nations. Guard the Union and guard the fifty states for Saint Germain. For he is still the father of our country and the sponsor of our Union, and in his sponsorship he truly bears the burdens of the nation.

From my heart, I send fire to the heart of every son and daughter of God. I do this now, beloved. Mark the time.<***> For as El Morya knows, the hours and the minutes tell the story of each astrological configuration. And I shall not soon take again from the fire of my heart and give it to those who ought to have tended their own flame and had it trimmed and burning brightly in honor of my coming. This I do once and possibly no more, for my service as avatar of the Piscean age is coming to a close, as I have said.

Thus if you have lost elements of your threefold flame, I give you hope that you might regain those elements year upon year as a tree increases its rings. Once again I give you opportunity, but only you can atone for the loss of a fragment of your flame. Beyond this, I say, you must take responsibility for your every vibration, word and deed.

Balance the ch’i<****> in your chakras, beloved, and strive for the goal of eternal life. All the good you may do on one side of the scale may be undone in a moment of being out of alignment with your threefold flame. And if you lose it, the loss you will feel will be heartrending.

Recall that when you were immortal and abode in the realms of light, there came a time when you made a conscious decision to follow the allure of fallen angels, who led you to the paths of mortality and death. And by and by you snuffed out that flame. And in good time Sanat Kumara took pity upon you and reignited your threefold flame so that you might once again pursue the goal of your immortality. <23>

Thus I have called you to return to the mountain of God, to Maitreya’s Mystery School, that you might realign your heart with Maitreya’s heart. Yes, I have called you to the heart of my father Maitreya, and I have called you to the very heart of your being.

What it all comes down to, beloved, is this: Do you or do you not have the rocket power to make your ascension in this life? That is the question. Ponder it. Ponder your immortality. Ponder what you have lost. And ponder how you can regain that which you have lost.

I, Jesus, seal you in your divine destiny in God, your Mighty I AM Presence. Your destiny will be challenging, as is everyone’s, and in some areas exceedingly hard. But where you have sown light, you shall reap light. And that light will uphold you hour by hour to the day of your victory.

Return Swiftly to the Altar

Thus, beloved, I also celebrate this Thanksgiving Day as a benchmark of Community achievement in your restructuring and reenergizing project. I look to individuals and I look to the Community as a whole. I desire you to fulfill your individual and Community destinies and to access the components of your being to that end.

And if you must go out from the Community for a season, then I pray that you will go swiftly and return swiftly. If you must be in the world for a number of years, then be not of the world except for the opportunity it gives you to balance karma, to serve to set life free, to espouse the cause of Saint Germain and to complete your education. Above all, secure your place, if possible, close to a Teaching Center, for there is spiritual, as well as physical, strength in numbers.

We have not established the Royal Teton Ranch and Maitreya’s Mystery School for naught. We have secured it because the day will come when you need it. And when you need it, beloved, I pray you will make your way back to Montana, to your Home of Light on earth and to the heart of your Guru Ma.

I, Jesus, bless all of you who are my disciples who find yourselves going out for a season. We enter a cycle of going out and a cycle of coming in, of sowing and reaping around the world and returning again to the altar of the Holy Grail. And as Guenevere blessed the knights of old when they went forth and when they returned, so receive the blessing of the Mother of the Flame when you go out. And when you return lay upon Maitreya’s altar that which you have sown and reaped.

All of you have the potential for greater things. All of you are potential candidates for the ascension. Do not lose sight of this, beloved. For although you have a timetable, God is also calling you to move on in the cycles of your victory. But in the final analysis, many are called but few are chosen for the ascension.

May the joy of my heart fill your heart this day—the joy and the laughter that know that God is in his holy place and that he is calling you to return to that place when you shall have fulfilled your reason for being on earth.

Do not fear the demons or the fallen angels. For in my name you have power over them. But you must exercise that power. Do not fear at all, beloved. For I will walk with you—you who take your leave of this ranch, and I will be with you along life’s way unto your return.

Again I remind you, there is a profound reason that we established this Ascended-Master retreat. Call it home. And in your home away from home, know that the starry bodies of the celestial hosts will guide and guard you each step of the way.

I, Jesus, call you to return to my Sacred Heart when you have fulfilled all things necessary to the completion of your cycles in the world. Come back to me, beloved! Meet me at the altar. And when you do, remember that I made you a promise that I would be with you in your goings out and in your comings in. I will fulfill that promise. And I pray fervently in your behalf that you will return to Maitreya’s Mystery School at the Royal Teton Ranch and at the appointed hour make your ascension, having fulfilled all things that the Lord thy God has required of you.

Now, beloved, I say to you who are able to carry Saint Germain’s message of the violet flame and of the age of Aquarius, go for it! And let my message of the Everlasting Gospel finally bring to the Christian world my teachings on karma and reincarnation. Therefore, I command you to go out two by two to the nations. For all must hear the Word of the Everlasting Gospel.

I salute you from the beginning to the ending of the ages that we have been together–from the golden ages of Atlantis to the abject darkness of the hour. I am your Elder Brother. Know, then, that the love flame of my Sacred Heart is always accessible to you when you love one another as I have loved you.

Truly, I AM your Jesus. I love you. And I shall be with you unto the end of the age and unto the fulfillment of the God-Victory of your soul.

So be it, beloved. Peace be with you in the name of the Holy Spirit. May you so internalize that Spirit that you walk and talk with him in the person of the Maha Chohan day by day, hour by hour.

Pax vobiscum.

Terrorist acts against the U.S. and her citizens in recent times have ranged from attacks on U.S. symbols worldwide to blowing up planes carrying American citizens to holding Americans hostage in Iran and Lebanon. Attacks against Americans abroad have continued but a number of terrorist acts and near-misses have now occurred within the U.S. as well: New York: On February 26, 1993, a massive bomb blast rocked the twin towers of the World Trade Center, causing extensive damage. Six people were killed and over 1,000 injured. Islamic extremists have been convicted for the bombing and deaths.

Phoenix: In July 1996, twelve members of a paramilitary group were arrested, thwarting what federal authorities said was a plot to bomb 7 government buildings. Weapons, bomb components, a videotape showing the targeted buildings, and information on how and where to place bombs were confiscated. New York: In October 1995, ten Muslims were convicted of conspiracy to bomb the UN and other New York City landmarks, and to assassinate public figures. Three Muslim radicals were convicted in New York in September 1996 of plotting to blow up 12 U.S. airliners over the Pacific Ocean. The plot was conceived to protest U.S. support for Israel.

23. Sanat Kumara reignited the threefold flame in earth’s evolutions. Thousands of years ago, in Earth’s darkest hour, all light had gone out in her evolutions and cosmic councils decreed the dissolution of the planet. Sanat Kumara, hierarch of the planet Venus, 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 extending rays of light from his heart to their own. This retreat, once physical, was withdrawn to the etheric octave in subsequent dark ages.
