I am come in this hour as you prepare for the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. I AM come before you in The Class of the Origin of Cycles to originate a cycle of expansion from the heart of a people to the hearts of many people the world around.

Some of you who are students of the history of the United States are aware of the fact that in the early days of the formation of our country I recommended a policy of non-interference in the affairs of foreign nations and powers. The reason for that policy is clear—that until a people have magnetized enough of the Christ flame to carry that flame over the Earth, then they ought not to be interfering with the policies and the civil wars and the problems of foreign nations. When a people have not solved their own problems, how can they solve the problems of others?

Thus it was wise for the garnering of energy in America to make America that place where the divine Woman could appear once again, where the flame of the Divine Mother could be raised again and thereby bring forth the divine Manchild to build America, to keep her strong and brave and true.

But now we come to the place in history where the world has shrunk, where to disregard the affairs of other nations is folly, yea, it is suicide. As you have seen as you have journeyed through the nations of South America, you have seen darkness and density arrayed against the Christ light in individual man. And you have thought to yourself: what keeps this darkness out of America?

I say to you; it is the light of the ascended master students that keeps out the darkness of the world. And the difference of the levels of consciousness between the majority of Americans and the majority of the rest of the world is so great as to cause consternation even to the ascended masters, as they attempt to determine how to resolve the problems of the world economy and the governments of the nations in the coming year and decade.

I have come forth then in the name of Saint Germain, my teacher and friend, and in the name of Jesus the Christ, the Prince of Peace, to originate a plan in this cycle, a plan for the expansion of the light in America, whereby if the plan is found and executed according to the standards of the ascended masters' teachings, it cannot fail to ignite hearts the world around, while retaining the full effulgence of the flame that is, that was, that shall be the United States of America.

Preparing for the secret ray action and the test of the ten, America admitted the two states of Alaska and Hawaii, making a total of fifty, the power of the five secret rays times the test of the ten. Hence you are not alone in facing that test, but all citizens of the United States face that test of the going within to the heart chakra, to the center of being and there becoming totally selfless, aware only of the great God-Self. O how can you be aware of ought else, when you dwell in the secret place of the Most High God?

Prior to the admittance of these two states, America was facing another test—48, 4x12, showing the action of the 12 hierarchies of the sun initiating this mighty people in the planes of fire, air, water and earth for the building of the four sides of the city foursquare. The test was passed by many; cosmic cycles came and the time for the secret rays descended, which is also the time of the coming of the Mother flame. Thus as you say, "Time marches on" and we say, "Eternity flows as the dawn, eternity flows and I AM here."

And I proclaim to you a plan for this decade and for the fulfillment of this century. You have seen how representatives in government have squandered vast quantities of America's wealth around the Earth, favoring this and that government and nation only to the detriment of America. And you have seen how so much wealth given to the unworthy and the ungrateful has evoked in them only hatred and more hatred, only more resentment of the light of the Christ consciousness, and you have seen how those allocations of funds intended for the masses of the people have gone into the purses of those in the top echelons. And so you understand why I recommended non-intervention.

Now we come to the time in history when Americans, the true members of the I AM race—and
those true members may be dwelling anywhere on the planet in any nation, and those who are the true members of that race are those who carry the Christ light in dignity, in honor, who merit the title of sons and daughters of God—the members of that race are the sheep of the ascended masters, who know the voice of truth and follow that voice by the flame of obedience unto the death and unto the life—the death of the ego and the life of the divine Self.

We see then how most attempts to appease the enemy with the dollar, to compromise standards, to feed the enemy from the granaries of America have failed to win the hearts of mankind for the flame of the Mother or for the flame of Freedom. We have seen from inner levels how that most attempts of the well-meaning, of the sincere, to reach out with funds, with help, with the Red Cross, with Care packages, with aid to underdeveloped nations and with the United States footing the bill of the entire United Nations—all of these attempts have brought little reward in terms of raising up lightbearers across the planet.

Why is this so? Because, not knowing how to do better, Americans who feel the flame—the threefold flame of love, wisdom and power, and desire to expand the love that they feel for the Christ in mankind—have not known that to feed the outer self, the four lower bodies, and to fail to nourish the soul with truth is to ultimately fail entirely.

And so we stand before you on this day at the dawn of the new year; and our observation is; there is yet mass ignorance, mass confusion, darkness and a great weight outside of the United States which, if not challenged in the name of the Christ, threatens to innundate her shores and to also overtake that nation great and holy and virtuous in the eyes of the ascended masters, as they have held the dream for America for many centuries.

Therefore the answer comes, and it is this: to carry the teachings of the ascended masters, to make the pilgrimmage of the Mother flame an annual event at Christmastide, to go forth unto all nations, unto all kindreds and peoples and tongues to break the bread of the Word, and by the devotion of the flame in all to transform a living planet, to transform souls evolving.

As you pave the way for the light to descend, then you will see that the efforts of many governments and many peoples through many avenues will begin to succeed. And you will also see that in every nation upon Earth there are those Americans who belong to this peculiar race —the I AM people—who are not afraid to pronounce the I AM name, to have it stamped in their foreheads and in the palms of their hands, and to proclaim it to all.

Thus, if you will make the call to me in the name of the Christ, I shall be there to raise up in every nation, in every city, that one soul who is the key to the unlocking of the heart chakra of that country. The ascended masters applaud your efforts and your determination to move against all odds to carry the light to South America.

We have observed valor and we know who are the valiant ones. We know who can be counted upon to carry on this nation, and as you go, remember the wolves in sheep's clothing, remember those who control the purse-strings in the international banks, in the international economy who are pursuing a one-world government by the backdoor and by the lefthanded path.

These are they who are working night and day to unite the world under the Luciferians. "A one-world government," they cry, "a one-world ecology and economy, this is the answer to all our ills." And mankind parrot them and say, "Ah yes, this is the answer, this is the answer—we will have one-world."

Many of those who live in the United States and support these ideas, would not wish to live abroad, many are promoting communism in the United States would not deign to live behind the Iron Curtain. Thus it is a theory they entertain with their intellectual pride, seeking to be thought wise of men, but you see it is a theory that does not work because it does not have at its foundation the flames of the Christ and of the Holy Spirit and of the Father- and Mother-God.

I say to you; we shall have our one-world under the flame of the Prince of Peace, under Saint Germain and under God. We shall have our one-world and it shall be because the sons and daughters of God understand the Oneness and have the power to include in their heart chakras a world that is fainting for the light, bleeding for the light, pleading for the light, a world that knows the rising of the Son must come and that it must come quickly.

And so you see, in the dispensation given by the Ascended Master Cuzco, that each pilgrim who journeyed to South America should have his heart tied to a devotee of light now living behind the Iron Curtain who has been contacted by one of the avatars walking in the physical plane in the past twelve-month cycle—that dispensation was the forerunner of my own plan—my plan, whereby you and you and you individually, collectively, become the center of a mighty sun of being, of the Manchild of the Woman for this age and unto this age.

And that sun, as it intensifies in brilliance, in power and light and love and wisdom becomes as the Divine Mother able to attain within itself more and more humanity and of the millions who
desire to be free and who yet know not that they even have that desire.

So you see the time has come, when one by one you must be willing to bear the burdens of many across the globe and do take unto yourself orphans of the spirit that are the concern of the Darjeeling master and of all of the Great White Brotherhood. And so you see, you who have the mastery of the cosmic clock and the teachings of the ages, can no longer stand only concerned for your own attainment. But you must be able to carry within your light aura and within the concentric rings of your Causal Bodies, which now radiate from the heartfire center of being, more and more of humanity—first tens, then hundreds, then thousands.

And you will learn to know that weight of the cross which Jesus bore and which now is given to you to bear. Bearing the cross means to bear the sins or karmic weight of brother and of sister. Once you accustom yourself to the load of making the extra invocations for the balancing of that load
on behalf of other lifestreams, you will come into normalcy once again. The adjustment is similar to that which you make when you gain weight—five or ten pounds extra weight, you quickly adjust —and so you must adjust to being your brother's keeper. And this is the name of the flame, this is the name of the cycle, this is the name of the game.

To be your brother's keeper then I come, and this plan taken to heart by the few will bring the world to that place where, instead of the Luciferian concept and execution of the United Nations, there shall be one family, one body of God and one body of Christ upon Terra. And only then can Terra enter into the Golden Age of the Christ consciousness.

This is the opportunity of the hour. And I seal the symbol in your forehead: to be our brothers' keeper—of this mission and of this pledge, that within your very soul you may be reminded each day that there are millions who require your support and the strong arm of the Brotherhood which can be given only through your invocations.

The ascended masters long to see the expansion of the flame of America; its consecration within the fifty sovereign states and then the expansion, its explosion, upon the world order. This can come and this shall come because freemen have determined this day to be relentless in the pursuit of the Christ flame of man, of woman, of child. You see, he who is most determined wins in the fight, not he who has greater numbers, greater armaments, but it is determination—the determind-action of the Christ. And you see—no matter how determined are the Luciferians, the fallen ones, the ones whom you call communists, the ones whom you call deceivers, no matter how determined—their premise is not in God and of God.

Therefore their determination lacks the impetus of the God-flame; therefore you see one with God is a majority because one with God has the full-gathered momentum of the determination of all the saints and ascended beings of every age. Put that together in one flame—as Above in the ascended octaves, so below in the octaves of earth—then you have the greatest Sun-release of all time in history since the ascension of the first three root races. And so, precious hearts, as the Chief says, "From the beginning we were winning," go forth two by two from AMU (Ascended Master University), go forth and claim the earth for the Mother. Claim the earth for the Holy Spirit and watch how that claim is the aim of the I AM name.

I AM a God-free being, I desire to make you God-free. You can become God-free by obedience. Obedience—how sweet is the love of obedience, how sweet is that flame, and how the angelic hosts dote upon mankind who are obedient to God's laws. Truly those who walk with God and talk with God are those who are obedient to the laws that they know. And even at times when they obey laws set forth by man, by church, by state, they still have the reward of obedient service and therefore the Lord says unto them, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many."

Be attentive to the detail of obedience, to precepts holy, to the voice of our representative, to the voice of God within you. For by obedience the doors of heaven are open wide and the cornucopia of abundance of joy, wisdom, light and happiness in overcoming descend upon you. I know, for I am called God Obedience. And my testing in obedience was given by the Ascended Master Saint Germain and by the Goddess of Liberty at Valley Forge and elsewhere in the fight for independence. I stood unflinchingly obedient to inner guidance, and it was upon that inner light that this nation was founded, a nation under God. I can count at least twelve occasions during the battle when, had I not been obedient to the flame and the voice, all would have been lost and all would have perished, and you might find yourself this day a dominion of Great Britain.

And so you see, each act of obedience, to the small, to the great, is an action upon which a kingdom can be build, and that kingdom is the kingdom of God come into manifestation upon earth, that kingdom is the city foursquare. Watch and pray, for each thrust of rightness and right use of the law, is a thrust that is a challenge in the very teeth of the rebellious ones, the defiant ones, those who disobey the fiats of the Lord because they have not his love in their hearts.

I see the Fourth of July release of firecrackers in the sky, of lightning flashing from east to west, I see the coming of the Son of man to America, I see the coming of the Woman Clothed with the Sun, I see travail and I see the victory. I see it; I hold the concept of Victory, and I AM the victory within you each and everyone, and I AM that victory for every child, every soul upon the planet. And I AM relentless, I AM determined and I AM the action of the cosmic honor flame.

Precious ones, never, never, never compromise your honor, for your honor is your sacred name and your secret identity. If you allow that honor to be trampled upon, you have no identity, you are counted among the herds of the cattle upon the hillsides. Honor is the flame that differentiates each man and beast—therefore keep the cosmic honor flame, keep it as burnished steel, as whitefire light. And know that as you keep that honor, I AM the flaming Presence in the center of honor. And I AM with you always even to the transformation, the transfiguration of America and her people.

You can win because God is in you; you can win because you are gods in manifestation. All hail! Legions of light, forward march!
