So is life the passing of a torch.

                                                         

           And I take my leave of you now to go to minister to the people of Russia and the people of China, for their hearts are calling and they are tugging on my love.  And my love responds and my angel bands come with me as we seek to give comfort to those souls who are waiting for this Teaching.  May you find a way to deliver it unto them quickly....Through tortures beyond your imagination they have withstood.              -Archeia Mary:  1-1-1974 at Mexico City via Messenger of the Brotherhood E C Prophet            (painting of Archeia Mary is by Ruth Hawkins)

           Spirit is the fire in the core of the cell, the atom, the molecule, in the center of the heart and each flaming chakra....And solar fires echo the fire of creation.
So is life the passing of a torch....So mankind, so children of my heart, I come.  I come to burn from you by a fire that is beyond the physical flame the scales of cynicism, the weight of the world, the burden of aloneness....And I come to burn away the dross, all impediments to your awareness of reality....
And you will hear my words ringing in your ears 10, 20, 40, 50, 80 years hence when you make your ascension in the light.  And you will have that flashback to this moment when I proclaimed "The ascension is now!"...
Now you see the cross that is formed in these rooms by the configuration of your flames....And that cross was (as in the day of Jesus and Mary) the point of transmutation where all sense of time and space and the lodging of darkness in time and space was consumed at the point where Alpha meets Omega.  Therefore carry the cross of fire and win your crown by your awareness of the eternal now.

In love is the gift of patience.
For only love
"Beareth all things, believeth all things,
Hopeth all things, endureth all things."
Indeed the man who in love
Endureth temptation and persecution
For his right use of the law--
When he is weighed/ In the great balance of the Buddha--
Shall receive the crown of life
Which the Lord Buddha has promised
To all who love the light in the law of being.    -Gautama Buddha:  Quietly Comes the Buddha, 1975-6, #9
