I, Maitreya, stand before you and I challenge you to enter the true heart of hearts of your being.  I demand that you see and know this dweller-on-the-threshold standing in the door--because you allow it.  The doorway to higher consciousness has been opened by me and by your Holy Christ Self.  But the tempter remains with arms folded daring you to slay that dragon of human will that continually overrides that which you know to be the truth of your homeward path. And you allow it by continual rationalization.

  Therefore we cannot go forward with the Teachings that will empower you truly in the tradition of the Buddha unless you begin to take seriously what we say in dictation and message and lecture and understand that we are building before your very eyes the pyramid--the mighty pyramid of your life.  It is a great pyramid having many stones.  In fact the (Great) Pyramid of Egypt, beloved, is the size you should visualize as the structure of your own mastery in matter.

  Ask yourself this question:  how many stones may I leave out or remove and still retain the structure?  As in any building some may be taken.  People may come and take souvenirs from your house of light.  But if you omit the precepts and instructions you will find that we may not build the next level with you.

  This building has come as a spiral from the beginning.  In the 1950s through the first messages through Mark Prophet we determined in council in Darjeeling to bring through dictations,  Pearls of Wisdom and all of our communications, beloved ones, every stone required for a graduate of Earth’s mystery school.  The keys that I give cannot be interpreted until obedience is given.  Therefore, beloved, listen well.  We have accelerated the release of dictations that you might pass through those spirals.  They are not too many to listen to.  The Only Mark albums are the very keys and steps essential to the Messenger’s ascent as he bore world karma and therefore must bear the light of the Brotherhood to transmute, to nullify, to put down the tempter at eery hand.   

  One day another will come, and through all of these dictations [one will] also find a code that tells quite another story of the soul’s ascent.  For you see what has already happened as with the release of this much truth the persecution has descended upon your Messengers.  But the new day shall appear, beloved, when lightbearers, free of the grips of the toilers and their own subservience to their own rebellion, will find that those keys will unfold and that there will be greater and greater gifts of teaching when those who are the lively stones of this edifice of the entire Community can better hold the light and the will of God.     -Maitreya:  12-31-1985 at Camelot, Los Angeles, Pearls of Wisdom 29:19
