we ourselves must see our own misconceptions

Come with me this night, my children, upon a journey into octaves of light. Arise in consciousness now. Arise with the angelic hosts. Feel yourselves lifted, floating gently above this room. Come with me now across this nation, across the Atlantic Ocean to a cathedral in France, the cathedral at Reims. Come with me and watch there the adorations of the people, of the hearts of the priests, priests of sacred fire within their hearts, and those devoted to the Blessed Virgin. Feel yourself now in that magnificent cathedral.////////// You can see the candle flames quivering in the softly moving currents of the air. You can smell the incense rising. You can see the magnificent colors of the windows, the light streaming through them./////////////////////// You are with the angelic hosts hovering there with me, and you feel the pulsations of the hearts of the people as they kneel in prayer, as they pray for one another, for their loved ones, for those who have passed from the screen of life whom they no longer behold with them./////////////// You feel the love of the angelic hosts as it descends to answer their calls. And you feel the focus of light which has been held there in holy adoration for these hundreds of years. You gain some meaning of the worship of a people, of a nation, a specific feeling of one of many religions of this Earth. And you feel one with these souls, for their hearts are as your hearts. They reach out to the Father in the way they have been taught. They reach out to me and their calls are answered.///////////// For the Law is acting there even as it acts in the wooded lands, in the depths of the sea, in the heights of the stars. The same Law is acting. And these blessed ones, though they have not the comprehension which you have been so blessed to receive in this day and age through your beloved Saint Germain, even though they have not this understanding, yet the Law is acting within them. And their calls also compel an answer according to their individual needs, according to their sincerity.//////// And so in many cases where there is lacking illumination, where there is perhaps ignorance, the mighty devotion of the heart overcomes that vacuum. And the devotion itself is able to invoke from the Godhead transcendent blessings which reach out to all the Earth, to all mankind.////////////////////////// And so I will remind you as we take leave of that mighty cathedral, that these are your brothers because they are my children, even as you are my children. Though God is no respecter of persons, no respecter of creeds or dogma, yet He respects the God-flame within each one, in each place\ wherever he may be in prayer attaining that divine attunement which each lifestream needs so much and yearns to have. As we circle the Earth then we pass over the Middle East. We see the devotion of a people in Russia, in the Communist lands also. That devotion is too a manifestation of the God-flame, but it is without direction, without purpose, the devotion placed to a lesser concept, a concept that is indeed without vision and has only the sight of physical senses to devote itself to the state, to Communism, to man as a mortal, limited form. Alas, these need our prayers, for these too are God’s children.////////// We behold the temple of Kuan Yin above Peking. We see the ministrations of angels of the Temple of Mercy reaching out to the people of China who also know not the direction in which their devotion is intended to be manifest, and we pray for these also. We pray for the little children taken from their mothers so early. And we gain a cosmic sense of the world need, of the hearts of the world which are indeed one through sacred fire manifesting there, and then of the human needs, the needs of the people.////////////////////// And I say to you, precious ones, I have taken you upon this journey that you might feel renewed in your dedication to pray for mankind that they find their eternal Source, that they find within them the Godhead to whom they owe complete allegiance.///////////// And as we return to this blessed city now in consciousness we have circled the Earth with the angelic hosts of light who minister unto the masses, to those in services in the churches and to masses of mankind. And we realize that these angels circle the Earth continually, ministering unto their needs. And in a great cloud of glory you behold them in the sky as they proceed upon their appointed tasks in///////// ministering unto the mankind of Earth. I have embedded this impression upon your consciousness this night, and it will be there. It will rest with you. And continually it will be the impetus which causes you to reach forth and make prayers unto God each day, to feel yourselves in the role of a cosmic Mother, a cosmic Father, to realize that you stand in my place upon Earth, that you have the authority for this Earth, for these lifestreams. You have the authority over all human creation, wherever it is manifesting upon Earth. Human consciousness is one, and you are responsible unto the Deity for the victory of this entire planet./////// Gain this cosmic consciousness then Awaken and arise to your destiny. For in the winning of your ascension in the light you must carry your brother. You must carry him with you. You must minister unto his needs. Beloved ones, you cannot rise alone. Although no man can rise for you and the gate admits one at a time, so your brethren are attached to the hem of your Christ garment and are healed by your devotion. I say unto you you are charged with a holy mission, so holy, beloved ones. Lose not that contact with your God Presence. And never for a moment accept my absence, for I am always with you as your cosmic Mother and your calls are answered. They are multiplied ten million times ten million. And the radiation descending from my heart touches the heart of everyone upon this Earth because they are indeed my children, and the whitefire essence within my heart is the whitefire essence within their hearts. It is the same substance, the same essence, for we were created out of the one flame from the heart of God. And so take the children of the world in your arms. Beloved ones, feel that your love reaches them, reaches out to them each night and each morning. As you behold Helios and Vesta in the Sun, those magnificent rays, know that those rays are flooding forth in turn from your hearts, reaching all of mankind and raising this planet into her eternal victory in the light.////////////////// O beloved ones, forget not this moment. Forget not the presence of the angelic hosts. As you are exalted now in consciousness, in the realization of your oneness with God and as you go forth out into the world as disciples of the Christ, see that nothing takes from you this holy communion which you have shared this night with hearts of the angels and the heart of your own beloved Mother.//////////////////// I AM with you alway. Pray unto me and I will answer you. I take my leave of you, but I AM with you even unto the end of your own individualization in the world of form. Your victory is written in the scrolls and annals of heaven. Let it be swift. Let it be mighty. And let it be to the glory of the Father, the Father Supreme, the mighty I AM Presence in the Sun of all suns. Know this, O my children. I thank you.

-Archeia Mary, via Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on July 19, 1964 in San Francisco, Pearl 58:24............................... I AM My Brother’s Keeper In the name of the beloved mighty victorious Presence of God, I AM in me, my very own beloved Holy Christ Self, Holy Christ Selves of all mankind, beloved Great Divine Director, beloved Goddess of Liberty, beloved Ascended Lady Master Nada, beloved Pallas Athena, beloved Mighty Cyclopea, beloved Kuan Yin, be- loved Mighty Portia, beloved Lord the Maha Chohan, beloved Jesus the Christ, beloved Mother Mary, beloved Guru Ma and Lanello, the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood and World Mother, elemental life—fire, air, water and earth I decree://///////////////// I AM my brother’s keeper. O God, help me to be All service and assistance, Compassion just like Thee! I AM my brother’s keeper. O Jesus, by thy flame Of resurrection’s blessing Give comfort in thy name! I AM my brother’s keeper, O Presence of God so near, The fullness of thy blessing, Pure divinity appears! I AM my brother’s keeper, The guardian of his flame; In quiet power and knowing I love him in Thy name!////////////// And in full faith I consciously accept this manifest, manifest, manifest! (3x) right here and now with full power, eternally sustained, all-powerfully active, ever expanding and world enfolding until all are wholly ascended in the light and free! Beloved I AM! Beloved I AM! Beloved I AM! ...................../////////. Therefore let the great circle of our oneness and our love cancel out all division, all misunderstanding, all ignorance and every false testimony as in the case of the blind men and the elephant--all giving varied reports of the same spectacle but never arriving at the point of reality which is the heart: heart perspective!…Behold, I make all things new by the flame of the heart, by vision of the heart, by wisdom of the heart that is the endless stream of the endless Source….////////////// Beloved ones, the reward for love is great. But those who deserve it often do not receive it because they are the ones who are busy ones or fighters—driving, working, serving. And therefore let us pause together. Let us be still then in these lower vehicles and let us feel the chakras shining as seven Elohim, shining as the Sun and stars!…////////////////////// let us not allow our ways and means to compromise the goal or to cause us to tarry or lose sight of the goal. The goal is the star appearing, the star of Aquarius that has appeared over the Sun of my birth. O beloved ones, the true star is the herald of the coming of the Devotee, the Mighty I AM Presence of each one. Remember your star!…///////// You are eternal here and now. This place is your eternal abode, and I speak not of finite coordinates but of this place as the point of Eye of mind of God—the seat of your consciousness. Find that seat now. Feel it in the base of the brain and in the spine. Feel it in your heart! Feel it in your soul! Feel it in all of your being! That which you feel is God. It is God, I tell you! It is not some combination of physical senses. Nay! That awareness of God in yourself is something above and beyond form, yet it registers on the form….///////////////// But as it always is, the more vast the compendium of knowledge the greater the requirement of the teacher to organize. …///////////////////// You see, beloved ones, the tests are flying full and sure. We want you to experience the sense of mastery, of dominion, the enormous pleasure of having finished a day and dealt with that force, that driving force of irritation, and conquered and risen above every foible of senses directed against your heart….////////////// Remember that anything that seeks to taunt you from the seat of the Buddha in the secret chamber of the heart must be noted as the enemy--not the person necessarily, for it is often a loved one, but the force attempting to use that one….Often it is a matter of stance. How do you hold yourself? Are you in readiness for the next delivery of God or thrust of the sinister force, or are you as they say these days laid-back? …////////////////////// Whenever there is agreement in a principle of God a nucleus is formed--a bond of love. And that bond of love actually begins to consume the area of disagreement and error which may be in the mind of your friend or may be in your own mind, for we ourselves must see our own misconceptions, n’est-ce pas? Perhaps you have noticed on a number of occasions that by your words and actions you may have caused some great grief and burden….Beloved ones, assume that those who come to you are injured and maimed and scarred, for they are. They have been in many battles of life. If you find them ornery or thick-skinned, this is a defense mechanism they have set up for a very deep hurt….////////////// Much of the cause of your failure of many tests is that you have not stopped to rid yourself of the human habit to express that aggravation, that arrogance--all coming from the need of carnal mind to assert itself. It is not real! It has no power to dominate your personality! I speak directly to you, and all of you know whereof I speak!…Each and every time you begin to conceive of sin, an act of sin, you lose the protection of the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood. …//////// Beloved ones, if you remove yourselves from time and space and always find the center of the cross, you will dwell forevermore in the house of the Lord, the secret chamber of the heart, the sacred heart of Jesus whose heart I have made my own, imploring that Christ and therefore intensifying the purple fiery heart in his honor. In that heart there is no desire for hashish, there is no desire for heroin….Fear is what binds you to the alternative path and method. …Cease then, cease from toying with the idea of unreality! Cease from the idea that you have ever been enslaved. The slaves of death must live in a consciousness of death!…Thus the only place where the consciousness of death and astral plane can be canceled out is in the point of the will of the chela in this octave!…////////////////////// The higher helps the lower. As you accept help in humility you can extend help. If you do not receive from the one above you, you cannot give to the one below you whose progress is utterly stopped because you yourself have stopped…./////////////////////// One day the world must always turn against the living Christ. And I do not think that any among you would consciously turn down the light of your Christ consciousness to be accepted by men, yet some of you do this unconsciously to avoid the challenge or hurt or public criticism. Beloved ones, you can only go so far with this little game as you fit yourself in and out of society’s cliques….///////////////// The “sorrowful way” comes only to the one who has not surrendered. As soon as you surrender you are free--that is the key. This is my crash course in passing every test.

-Saint Germain: 7-6-1984 at Royal Teton Ranch, MT via Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet …………………........................ Even until final culmination of the mission of our Lord he was no exception to temptation but he was tried by God. He was no exception to persecution by fallen ones and the Adversary. He was not exempted from the crucifixion, from the agony on the cross. And finally having passed through all of these which are specific steps of initiation he came to the place where he said “All power in heaven and in earth is given unto me.” All power in heaven and in earth is given unto me./////////////////// That means the full potential of Spirit, the full potential of matter—the fullness of the Father-Mother God as the spiritual cosmos and material cosmos. This is the gift which God is waiting to bestow on every son and daughter of God who will elect to be a joint heir with Christ and have the courage to defy the tempter, the same tempter who said to Siddhartha, “You have no right to be pursuing God- consciousness.” That same tempter tempts the Christian with the lie, “You have no right to be the Christ. You blaspheme the name of the Lord.”///////////////////// They told Jesus that. The same tempters who assailed Siddhartha assailed Jesus. He said he was the Son of God and they were furious with him: “How dare you proclaim yourself to be the Son of God, thereby making yourself equal with God!” And Jesus said to them “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, Ye are God’s? Then why do you accuse me when I say I am the Son of God?” And they were silenced in their argument. So let us silence the fallen ones who would tear us from our inheritance as joint heirs with Christ. If we do not claim that inheritance, claim it because we are the children of the Most High, we will not attain to the fullness of the stature of Christ. And if we do not attain to Christ consciousness, we will not be eligible to receive the Holy Ghost. “Now that he ascended what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of Earth?” This concerns the initiation of all sons and daughters of God who return unto the I AM Presence in the ritual of the ascension. After the crucifixion, after the apparent death in matter, the soul descends into the astral plane, into the very depths of hell to preach to fallen ones, to stand as a witness unto Christ that by the flame of Christ they too can be saved. We are daily experiencing our crucifixions with our Lord. We are willing to be on that cross because we know that he is there. We must understand this initiation also because it has to do with our being apostles. We are called by Jesus to bear witness of him “unto the uttermost part of the Earth,” referring to his descent into hell. We are called to preach to fallen ones, to show them opportunity to be the Christ. And thereby before they pass through the second death in the final judgment they can have continuous opportunity to see and to know that with God all things are possible, that they by the power of the Christ-flame can also be saved.///////////////////// There are times when you also need to endure the initiation of the dark night. Someday you may ask yourself “Why am I suffering?” You may repeat the words of Christ, “My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?” And that is the moment when you are on the cross of the dark night of the Spirit when you must show your utter dependence upon the Christ consciousness within—when for a few moments in eternity you are cut off from the I AM Presence so that you can prove your absolute loyalty and oneness with God by your own inner flame./////////// There are many periods of suffering that lead up to the initiation of the dark night of the Spirit. When you come to these periods you may be going through episodes in the dark night of the soul which are preparation for the dark night of the Spirit. It is important to remember that this is part of the path. It is not unusual; you are not an exception. It is not because God does not love you or because you are a miserable sinner that you cannot feel the fullness of the warmth of noonday Sun, but instead you feel enveloped in dark clouds. It is not because somehow you are an exception to the whole world but because God is fulfilling Himself in you.//////////////////// God is fulfilling the way of the cross, the initiation of fourteen stations. He wants you to become more of Himself and so He is providing the ritual of rebirth day by day. And therefore having gone through sacred initiation, the initiation which is number thirty in the way, you will come down from the cross and you will be required to go and preach to rebellious ones./////////// This is your mission as an apostle. For Jesus it lasted a number of hours while he was in the tomb. For you it may last years or decades because initiations are shortened and lengthened according to the need of the soul to be tutored. When you realize that it is a requirement of the Law for you to take the next initiation—that it is a requirement, it is a pattern, it is a path that all saints have walked (like a path with snow that has been packed down and padded with footsteps of the saints)—you get on that path. You leap for joy and you say “I am going to place my feet where the saints have trod, where Christ has walked. I am worthy to walk where he has walked.”///////////////////// The sense of worthiness is something that fallen ones have taken from Christians. What in you is worthy to receive God? Of course not that which has the sense of sin or of the sinful, but Christ within you is worthy to be Christ. And since we have established that Christ is able to be in you, for God has ordained it, then you must feel the worthiness of that Christ. Then you must begin to defend your right to be Christ against all lies, all doctrine, all dogma whether they are two thousand years old or a hundred years old or a month old.///////////////////// Time does not sanctify a lie, an error. If we have believed a lie for a thousand years, then let us not allow our pride or our ambition to make us sustain the lie. That is the trap that fallen ones are into. They have committed their egos and their identity to the lie. They dare not say “I was wrong. I made a mistake.” But it is better to make a mistake and admit it than the alternative. As Paul says “They believed a lie and their damnation is just.”//////////////// How could the apostle Paul say that the damnation of the children of God was just? Because he understood free will. By their freewill they accepted the lie. By their freewill they made that lie the law of their life, and that lie became the law of sin unto death.///////////// So souls demanded free will. They used that freewill to go against the Christ-flame; therefore it is just that they be condemned. But they are condemned only so long as they believe the lie.//////// Once you see through the lie of this weight of sin that fallen ones have placed as condemnation on the children of God, you are no longer condemned by it because you are free from it. It goes poof! It is dissolved in a moment. And you stand on your feet, you hold your shoulders erect and you say “I am a son of God worthy to be initiated, worthy to walk the path with Christ. And I will by God’s grace.”////////////////// And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;///////// For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ://///////////////////// That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ://///////////////// From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. In these words Paul is conveying how the cells in the body of God are interdependent. Indeed as we go through our initiations on the path we need each other.///////////////////////// Why doesn’t God give to us wholeness before He puts us through the chastening process of initiation? Because He does not want us to be satisfied within ourselves. He wants us to have to turn to the person on the right and the person on the left and say in all humility “I need you. I can’t live without you. I can’t fulfill my mission without the God that is in you. Friend, brother, sister, pilgrim on life’s journey, I need you. Help me.” How difficult it is for many to say this. Can you look at the person next to you whether friend or foe, known or unknown, and say in all humility “I need you. Help me”? That is what God wants because when we have a need for love, to give and receive love, then we will work as one body. But when we have no need for sharing love then there will not be the flow of cosmic consciousness among us. When we have the sense of the body of God, the oneness of God we work together. Even in silence we understand one another’s needs and we supply them. We understand the concept of each of us fulfilling our part to bring into manifestation the kingdom of God, the New Jerusalem, the City Foursquare. It is necessary to understand the concept of many members of the body of God as Paul gave it to the Ephesians: “There is one body and one spirit even as ye are called in one hope of your calling.” This is the mystical body of God. As we commune together we commune in the oneness of that body. It is a consciousness of wholeness. In time and space we fulfill aspects of that wholeness, and by the grace of the Holy Spirit we are made whole in the pursuit of our calling. There is “one Lord, one faith, one baptism.”////////////////// This is not an invitation to mankind to create doctrine and dogma. This must be read with the Holy Spirit. The one Lord of Christ, the one Son of God, said “This is my body which was broken for you.” The fragments of the Christ consciousness can instantaneously anchor within you the whole loaf of that consciousness. We must have ///// /understanding that the Christ—as a totality of oneness, as one Son of God, as the Second Person of the Trinity—is able to manifest personally to you as your Christ Self and is not the exclusive ownership of one or any son of God.////////////////// This does not deprive Jesus from being the fullness of the Son of God nor does it take from Saint Francis or Mary the Mother or Pope John or you your essential wholeness. Why must we consider that God is so limited that the fullness of the stature of Christ Jesus cannot be within us all?////////////// The fallen ones use the illusion of time and space to confuse the true teaching. In time and space we appear separate, but in infinity we know instantaneously that we are the body of God. We are not separate. Our hearts are one. We burn with the love of the presence of our Lord together.///////////////////// Even as we are one each of us makes our own way on the spiritual path, praying that we might be prepared to receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit. We may be mindful of them no matter what our form of worship, our church, our calling or our profession. Let us pray for these gifts, yet not for the gifts themselves but for the path that leads to preparedness to receive the gift. We cannot be denied the gift for which we are prepared because God never violates His own Law.////////////////////// Cosmic Law is the fulfillment of God. Things equal to the same thing are equal to each other. If the anchoring of light within us is equal to the light that is in the gift, we will attract that gift and the Holy Spirit will grace our temple as God wills it.//////////// The first gift of the Holy Spirit is the utterance of wisdom, and the second is the utterance of knowledge. There is a difference. Wisdom is the understanding of planes of Spirit and things of the Spirit. Knowledge is the understanding of matter and things of matter. Wisdom is the love of the Father that comes from the heart. Knowledge is the science of Mother, the understanding of the planes in which we live.////////// The third gift is faith. The fourth is healing. The fifth is miracles which is alchemy of Christ. The sixth is prophecy.////////////////// The seventh gift of the Spirit is discernment of spirits, discerning who and what is acting, not confusing discarnates for Holy Spirit. The eighth gift is diverse kinds of tongues, and these are tongues of angels but not of fallen angels. And the ninth gift is interpretation of tongues.////////////// The fallen angels come and they speak with tongues that have, you might say, a very heavy accent. They came forth from the original tongues of angels, but it is a perverted speech by those who have perverted the energy flow of the Word incarnate. We must have discernment of spirits to discern tongues. We must be careful that we do not rush in where angels fear to tread, demanding the gift of speaking in tongues before we have the other seven gifts.////////////// Let us be filled with the Holy Ghost. Let us pray for the Holy Ghost to give us the understanding of sacred scripture. The one God and Father of all who is above all and through all and in you all, that one God is the I AM THAT I AM who appeared as the flame.///////// Our God is the consuming fire. The flaming Presence of God is the divine Monad, above all as the I AM Presence, through all as the all-pervasive essence of Holy Spirit, in you all as threefold flame in your heart. It cannot be denied. It cannot be taken from you except you yourself deny it, and denial of that flame is the sin against the Holy Spirit which cannot be forgiven until it is forsaken. For when you deny your divinity by freewill it is taken from you. And therefore you suffer from the law of sin that is of your own creating.//////////////////// And so unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. What is grace? It is the oil, the unguent that is poured upon our head as we too are prepared with our Lord for crucifixion. Grace is the intangible quality that works miracles every day in our lives. Grace is the movement of God among the members of God. Grace is the joy, the living, thanksgiving. It is the appreciation of love. It is sudden manifestation in our lives of something that is a gift of God, unexpected, or an achievement that we thought we ourselves were incapable of achieving, but by God’s grace He filled us with a flame and victory came. “Wherefore he sayeth when he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive and gave gifts unto men.” Those who were captive of the carnal mind were made captive of the Christ consciousness when he ascended. When he ascended those who were in bondage to carnal mind received the Holy Ghost and were transformed. We are all indeed called to be apostles. Although the Christian Church was built on the foundation of both apostles and prophets, there is a distinction between the two. While the prophet was God’s spokesman to the believing Church, the apostle was his envoy to the unbelieving world. It is to unbelievers, to those who know not the Christ within that the apostle must have the courage to preach. There are many, many more apostles than prophets in the true Church.////////// Now there is a pattern and a blueprint for the twelve apostles who each occupy a specific position in cosmic hierarchy. Just as we are all born under one hierarchy of the Sun, one of the signs of astrology, so we are born to fulfill the mission of one of the original twelve apostles.///////////////// You can determine by your birth date which apostle you will receive the flame of apostolic succession from. Once you understand that you are fulfilling the line of apostolic succession then you need to call, in the name of Jesus Christ, to God Almighty to give you the mantle of that apostle.///////////// What is the mantle? Remember, mantle means momentum. Elisha received the mantle of Elijah, his teacher. Elijah told him “If you see me when I ascend, then a double portion of my spirit will fall upon you.” So Elisha’s cape was the cape of Elijah. Elijah’s cape fell upon Elisha and he smote the waters and they parted, and all prophets of Israel acknowledged him as a true prophet. Now you are not looking for acknowledgment, but you are looking to be endued with power from on high as a signal of commencement of your apostleship. And so you must seek the one whose mantle you are to wear, whose momentum of service can be bequeathed to you if you pray for it in the name of Jesus Christ./////////////////// The twelve apostles came forth to represent twelve cosmic hierarchies around the central sun who was Christ Jesus, the one who showed forth all twelve aspects of the Christ consciousness and therefore had passed the initiations to stand in the center of the circle. The Christ standing in the center holds the balance for all twelve.////////////////////// We are born under the sign of the hierarchy who gives us our initiations in Christ consciousness. The apostle on that line is the one whose mantle you would wear. So whatever sign you are born under, you can strive to get to know the apostle on that line of the clock. When you have their names you can do your research and study these apostles and their lives, including their weaknesses and their strengths. Not all apostles made their ascension. But it doesn’t matter whether or not the apostle of your line ascended because it is the office in hierarchy, the mantle of God-flame and the momentum of the causal body, the good works of that apostle that come to you. We are calling then to fulfill the office of that apostle where that apostle has failed and where that one has succeeded. The apostle on the twelve o’clock line of Capricorn is Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter and a disciple of John the Baptist. Capricorn is the first sign in the etheric quadrant of the clock, the quadrant that contains the divine blueprint. For the clock of disciples this would be the etheric blueprint of Jesus’ mission. Andrew was the first disciple called to this mission and he responded.//////////////////////////// Philip of Bethsaida is on the one o’clock line of Aquarius. Thomas is on the two o’clock line of Pisces. He was cautious and questioning, doubting the reality of his Lord. The line of Pisces presents opportunity to overcome doubt and fear. Having this goal you can strive to not take so seriously your doubts and fears but to see them as testing and temptation. You can see them as an opportunity for overcoming that you might better see and know the Christ.////////////////////// Simon Peter is on the three o’clock line, for all those born under the sign of Aries. Although he was the foundation of the Church, he had an impetuous nature which reflects a certain amount of pride of ego. Impetuosity is a trait that we on the path would do well to ... for better or for worse Peter was the Vicar of Christ. He had great virtues and he had weaknesses. And we can see certain seeds of his weaknesses that have come down through the Church just as we see his strengths. Bartholomew is on the four o’clock line of Taurus. On the five o’clock line of Gemini is Matthew. James the Greater is under the hierarchy of Cancer on the six o’clock line. James had a great deal to do with the building of the Church. Jude, also called Thaddaeus, is on the seven o’clock line of Leo. James the Less, the first bishop of Jerusalem, is on the eight o’clock line for those under the sign of Virgo. John the Beloved is on the nine o’clock line under the sign of Libra.///////////////// Judas Iscariot is on the ten o’clock line of Scorpio, succeeded by Matthais after his betrayal and suicide. On the eleven o’clock line of Sagittarius is Simon the Canaanite.////////////// Judas failed the test of Scorpio, which is the test of selflessness on the ten o’clock line. This is called the test of the ten, and it is the most difficult of all the twelve. This test comes to every one of us. It is the temptation to forsake the cause of light, of the Christ for human comfort, human pleasure, human concern, selfishness and self-love. Judas was so remorseful of his betrayal of Christ that when he reembodied in his next life he became a flawless devotee of Christ. And so he passed many of his initiations and he earned the right to ascend. We see then that God can forgive to the uttermost. If God can forgive the betrayer, He can forgive us all of our sins.//////////// This clock is like Ezekiel’s wheels within wheels. When you look at all the little wheels on the gas meter there is a clock on every line. Similarly there is another little clock all tied up inside of Capricorn, Aquarius and all of the other lines on the clock. So while you are pursuing apostleship and testing on any specific line of the clock you are still walking around the entire clock and going through tests and temptations of all disciples. So as you are aware of the line of the clock of your birth sign you need to also be aware of all other lines of the clock. Whatever line of the clock your birth sign is on you can call for the causal body attainment of the apostle on that line to be transferred to you as a mantle and a momentum of victory. So the attainment and good works that the apostles did manifest are yours for the calling, yours for the asking, by fiat in the name of the Christ.///////////// Now while not all of those who were with Jesus made their ascension, two of them, only two, did ascend at the conclusion of that life. One was Jesus’ mother, Mary, and the other was John the Beloved. And John was the apostle who had the greatest love. By love he conquered all, with Christ.//////////// The other apostles reembodied. Some of them have continued to reincarnate until this century. And therefore the command of Jesus “Tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem until ye be endued with power from on high” had a different meaning for them. They have tarried two thousand years in matter waiting for the coming of the Holy Ghost. Some of them had a mission to fulfill in the twentieth century and they could not ascend because their blueprint, their divine plan had not been fulfilled. Others continue to reincarnate through willfulness, stubbornness, resistance to the Christ. And so they continue to make karma and to have karma to balance. When we occupy the position of an apostle of the Church let us remember that those who come after us will suffer from our weaknesses and will be borne up by our strengths. And so we want to overcome our weaknesses and build up our strengths. Our teacher Jesus wants us to excel and to accelerate the God-flame and crystallization of that God- flame. I bid you then concern yourself with apostleship. Concern yourself with being worthy to be apostles for Christ. Accelerate your path of initiation. Get God where you are and throw out everything that impedes your getting of God. Accelerate going into the fiery core of you own Christ consciousness. Put your house in order. Bring yourself into alignment with the sacred Word. Be God where you are. Speak with authority as Jesus did and not as the scribes. We don’t want to be scribes and Pharisees. We want to be apostles for Christ. We each one are called to this mission./////////////////////// ]from lecture “Apostles All” by
