Some among the people must sacrifice

1) The old order changeth. The new order of the ages begins. But like the brilliance of the Holy Grail, the cup of purity and oneness changeth not. Individuals in their search for values dare not gaze on the specter of the contemporary, but rather should their gaze be fixed upon the face of the Ancient of Days.

-Serapis Bey, Pearl 11:4 ........................... 2) Beneath the surface calm there lies within the consciousness of men much that is undesirable, much that represents polarization of imperfec­tion during near and distant epochs of personal history.  To cast out the enemy within by invoking sacred fire is a necessary process.  When this is done transmutation takes place and ener­gies that have been imprisoned in matrices of imperfect thought and feeling are released.  Immediately after having been dislodged from the electronic belt and purified by flames of God these energies ascend to the causal body of man which is the repository of all good that has ever been externalized by the individual.

-Lanto, Pearl 12:26 ................................. 3) To this direction I write that this my epistle for twentieth-century man, issuing forth from the heart of eternal life, may set before him that measure of perfection which truly is his star. In following the pathway that leads to spiritual triumph man should rejoice in his ability to recognize the plan of God and above all he should be unafraid to destroy those weeds of conflict in the garden of his mind and being that may lead him astray. Thus in casting out the darkness of mind of the ego he will see clearly how to cast out the enemy within and how to triumph over the enemy without.

-Hilarion, Pearl 15:9 ................................. 4) Don’t you think that it is time that you signed the Declaration of Independence of your soul from all enemies within and without, all forms of instruction that are less than whole?  I think it is time. I am certain that you have gained great good from many sources along the pathway of light; but when you have the ascended masters as your guide, then realize that the standard is perfection. There is and there can be no compromise with human error; for every ascended master, angel, and archangel focuses the consciousness of mediator between God and man. And each one who has earned the ascension stands in the place next to your Christ Self mediating with you, for you, working together hand in hand with your Christ consciousness to lead you into that awareness of the light which shall give you your freedom.

-Maitreya, Pearl 17:7 .................................... 5) Somehow, somewhere through habit and indoctrination mankind have accepted the concept that the laying down of the physical body, the cessation of life and consciousness and heartbeat in the material form is the definition of death. This definition is neither scriptural nor is it founded in cosmic law. As we then intensify our effort to merge our consciousness with your own we can do aught but challenge the record, memory and consciousness of death that lurks as the enemy within the camp at subconscious levels of humanity’s awareness.

-Lanello, Pearl 17:22 ............................... 6) Now we look to overcomers to challenge the enemy within and without, to expose the lie of dark ones who seek to invade mind and emotions, creating moods and rationalizations. These archdeceivers of mankind continually masquerade as the true identity of children of God. At every hand they seek to convince the chela on the path that his synthetic self is his real Self.

-Morya, Pearl 18:11 ...................................... 7) Understand then the meaning of the sword. Understand that you must put your household in order, for the enemy is within the household The enemy is within your own consciousness, within your own members. Challenge the enemy within, I say! Put it out of the house! -Lanto, 10-12-1975 at San Francisco, Pearls of Wisdom 62:40 .................................. 8) You must define the enemy within yourself. You must define the consciousness that limits you, that binds you to laws of mortality. You must see the enemy as sloth, self-indulgence, self-centeredness, pride and ambition and all of the sins that have been clearly outlined by great avatars of the ages. The enemy is within. It is within the consciousness that has not surrendered to the will of God….From that point of wholeness then you will examine the next mandala of your initiation, the mandala of your nation, and you will say What is the enemy? And you will look again and you will define the enemy within.

-Elohim Arcturus and Victoria, Pearl 44:37, 7-1-1976 at Washington, D.C. via Messenger ECP .................................... 9) People of God, discover the enemy within your midst as that momentum of unrighteousness. Discover the enemy that is a materialism without repository of the Spirit, without the flame infusing the very soil. Therefore make His paths sacred!  Let life be sacred!  Let the life of the people, let the life of children be sacred again!  And let mothers and fathers who have the fire of archangels go forth and challenge that monolith of that system that imposes upon the youth every distraction and diversion calculated to tear down the very energies of sacred fire. -Archangel Zadkiel, 1-30-1977 at Pasadena, Pearl 20:7 ......................................

10) We require then that men and women of valor proceed with the most practical and scientific measures for defeating of the enemy within and without. We are on a cosmic timetable. You can consider this day one as we record time in the space of the Buddha. For this day the Lord of the World does seal Camelot. -Archangel Michael, Pearl 54:5, 10-10-1977 at Pasadena .......................................... 11) My prayer then is that wisdom amplified by these flame flowers, etheric flowers of light, golden light from the heart of wisdom retreats, floral offerings from Gautama, Maitreya, Jesus, Kuthumi placed at the feet of devotees of justice–our prayer that these flame flowers of wisdom shall be abundantly scattered across the face of Earth that the people of America will have a renewed sense of divine justice and therefore challenge fallen ones who have usurped the authority and light of the Supreme Court of this nation and consequently are usurping the light of the Constitution of the United States, the original covenant made by Saint Germain with lightbearers to protect them against the enemy within and without this nation.

-Portia, Pearl 23:50, 11-29-1980 at Camelot, L.A. .......................................... 11) My prayer then is that wisdom amplified by these flame flowers, etheric flowers of light, golden light from the heart of wisdom retreats, floral offerings from Gautama, Maitreya, Jesus, Kuthumi placed at the feet of devotees of justice–our prayer that these flame flowers of wisdom shall be abundantly scattered across the face of Earth that the people of America will have a renewed sense of divine justice and therefore challenge fallen ones who have usurped the authority and light of the Supreme Court of this nation and consequently are usurping the light of the Constitution of the United States, the original covenant made by Saint Germain with lightbearers to protect them against the enemy within and without this nation.-Portia, Pearl 23:50, 11-29-1980 at Camelot, L.A. ................................ 13) Have you lately overcome an enemy within or without? Have you lately seen the face of evil and its fruits in your life or in another’s? Perhaps you have lately gotten the victory over some beast of the carnal mind. I am here to praise God, to love you, to cherish you and to tell you I rejoice in every victory of all of my sons and daughters.

-Archeia Mary, Pearl 26:28b, 4-1-1983 at Camelot, L.A. ..................................... 14) Let us no longer walk away in disgust but stand, fac and conquer whatever the situation is—and make therefore as God has promised, thy enemies thy footstool. Let every point of the enemy within thyself, which is the absence of self-mastery, become the footstool and stepping-stone to the glory of God. For, beloved ones, there is no other enemy except the enemy within that can exercise any power over thee. Therefore conquer self and thou shalt have conquered all—even the all and the universe. -Archeia Charity, 5-29-1983 at Camelot, L.A., Pearl 26:47 ..................................... 15) Even though outer schools of Christianity or Buddhism or Hinduism may have lost the thread of this reason for being of the path of bodhisattva, believe me, beloved ones, the epitome of attainment of the six-pointed star of bodhisattva must include victory as the warrior whereby the individual may fearlessly defend himself and his clan—that is to say, the cluster of devotees in his band—against every enemy within or without, subtle or gross. A very key point of the six is attainment of that level of compassion whereby one is able to deal with all parts of life with poise, diplomacy, mercy, understanding and above all justice untainted by sympathy of the human sort but surely adorned with mercy’s delicate flame of Bodhisattva Kuan Yin. -Maitreya, Pearl 29:22, 1-1-1986 at Camelot, L.A. ........................................ 16) Many have made the choice to feed the beast, satisfy it with creature comforts and various addictions of the various chakras. But, beloved, choose not the way of all flesh—and know that your victory is an individual and planetary victory and that the planetary dweller is reduced by power and magnitude of your overcoming of the energy veil within yourself. And ultimately everyone upon Earth if he would ascend must slay the enemy within and the world consciousness of sin.

-Jesus Christ, Pearl 26:36b, 3-13-1983 at Camelot, L.A. ........................................ 17) Beloved ones, you can know those that are physical and you can know what they do. And therefore let us have a victory of Armageddon over the astral hordes and dark ones that come to taunt, to maim, to distort, to cause insanitv and to be the spoilers of your joy. Let the victory come over your mind and heart and speak to those enemies within your own temple and let them be bound!

-Mighty Victory, Pearl 27:50b, 7-6-1984 at RTR, MT ....................................... 18) Blessed hearts, you are on the brink of doom and know it not, as every civilization has reached a heyday of pleasure and disregarded all signs of the enemy without and the enemy within. Even while I speak, beloved, that enemy does listen and does watch.-Morya, Pearl 30:54, 10-2-1987 at NYC .................................. 19) Well, beloved ones, if you decide to do this, you had better reach out to Archangel Michael each day to protect the flame of peace that you have determined to bear. You had better call forth your tube of light. You had better be ready to exorcise your own dweller-on-the-threshold and cast out the enemy within, as well as the enemy without, while befriending all people and not giving power to division in their members or to darkness they may yet harbor in folds of the unconscious.

-Magda, Pearl 34:20 ...................................... 29) Does the valley of the shadow of death consist of the remnants of David’s lower self that must be passed through the sacred fire to be consumed? Does it represent the subconscious or the unconscious world of David–the enemies within as well as the enemies without, including Death and Hell, that he must slay ere he receive the mantle of his Christhood in his final incarnation?

-Messenger E C Prophet, 7-2-1995 at RTR, MT, Pearl 38:29..
