The thread of contact with God is broken by rebellion and disobedience

    God is not going to give you that contact when you are likely to make the karma of disobeying Him face-to-face, so He just puts out representatives.  He puts Himself in the guise of the Messenger or people on staff and says,“Follow them for a while and let’s see how you come to grips with your inner consciousness.”…
  The thread of contact with God is broken by rebellion and disobedience.  But you know, it’s not even broken by that, because the Gurus love us so much that they will tolerate our little rebellions and our little disobediences and still not let go. Yet if you multiply a single rebellion a thousand times, what does it equal?  It equals the rejection of the person of Christ incarnate in the Guru.
  Ultimately the breaking of the thread of contact is by your denial that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, that God has made Himself incarnate in His avatars and ultimately in your flesh.  There’s no way that you can say God is in me but He is not in the Guru.  It’s simply not logical, not geometry.  If you say God is where you are but you deny Him in Gautama Buddha or Jesus Christ, you have made your carnal mind a god.
 So the requirement of Hierarchy is that you accept God incarnate.  When you deny God incarnate through continual rebellion and disobedience to the teachings, to the commandments and to the Person of the ascended masters the moment comes when the thread is broken.
  In my messengership I have dealt with an individual over the past years who has been a chela with us for perhaps seven or eight years.  A number of years ago he decided to go and make his way in the world based on his need and greed for money, pride of person and the desire for name and fame.  That did not break the thread of contact.  He went forth, he sought his way in the world and many events intervened.  Then he was given the opportunity to serve again.  He did serve and was again disobedient to the rules and the disciplines of our retreat.  Even that did not break the thread.
  But one day when there had been a succession of opportunities and rebellions over a long period of time the Darjeeling Council made a decision.  Godfre conveyed that decision to me and said that I should go and dismiss this person from service to the Brotherhood in this organization.
  In this case it came down to the opportunity to reestablish the Guru-chela relationship.  The individual denied the relationship.  He expressed the desire for it by saying that he wanted the light but under no circumstance would he place himself in the position of being disciplined as a chela, as he again desired to make his way in the world.
  Therefore after all this opportunity, including the fact that God did not simply chop off the thread of contact with the initial rebellion, after all of this what it came down to was that the individual denied the ascended masters in the Person of their Messenger, the One Sent.
  He denied the path and said “I will do what I will do.  I will serve God independently of the teachings, independently of the personal representative of the Brotherhood to me.”  That personal representative is sent to give the opportunity to pummel, teach and train a soul.  In fact its whole purpose is that the Guru by holding his Electronic Presence over the soul enables that soul to reject its own carnal mind, its own pride, its own rebellion.
  What really happens in the process is that the Guru supplies the chela with the identity of the Christ to which he cannot attain until he has slain the dragon of his own carnal mind and can therefore rise into the identity of the Christ.   You can’t have two identities at once.  Either you are the Christ or you have enthroned the carnal mind.  If you have enthroned the carnal mind, you can’t know yourself as Christ until the carnal mind is dethroned.  While you’re dethroning it the moment you slay it it’s like killing the only identity you have. If the only identity you have is your human ego and it has to be slain, then someone has to hold your hand at that moment and sustain the consciousness of the Christ with you and for you.
  The moment you slay the beast and it is gone your Christ Self comes into alignment and you gain your new identity. However there is a split second when you lean utterly upon the One Went--the Person of the Guru who is one with your Christ Self.  That is the point of the relationship of trust.  That is where trust is required because when you are slaying the carnal mind you lose the ability to know the difference between the carnal mind and the Christ mind.
  The carnal mind is so loud in declaring itself to be the living Christ within you that unless you lean upon the arm of the Lord, unless you have that one to lean upon, you’ll go mad.  So “whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.”  The gods are the fallen ones who have enthroned the carnal mind within them and they’re all insane by the very act of having enthroned the carnal mind.
  So not just by rebellion, not just in the disobedience that can be considered to be the foibles of the child of God, is the thread cut but in the ultimate act of denying the existence of the Guru.  It is the final act of denying that the Word was made flesh, denying that the ascended masters are here and that they are teaching.  That is a very serious moment.  And that moment came to this individual after opportunity had been given to restore the state of grace for literally tens of thousands of years, and the state of grace is having the thread of contact.
  I walked out of that meeting, having dismissed this individual and I looked up into the sky and saw the ritual take place—and it is a ritual—of breaking the thread of contact.  It is never taken lightly.  And I must tell you that if you are of a pure heart and a sincere heart, God will never break that tie because you have made a mistake.  Remember that.  He will only break that tie because you blaspheme the name of His Son in your own Christ Self and in the Christ Self of the Messenger and of the ascended masters.  
  When you look at the thread of contact you see a scintillating chain of light, one link after another just like a linked chain, but the links are of light and every link of the chain is a person—--or a pure Son of God--an ascended master and his chela.
Everyone in earth and in heaven is a link in this universal chain of Being, and you have the right to remain a link in this great chain when you are obedient to the next link who happens to be your Guru of the hour.  The ceremony that took place was that the hands of God came down and undid one link, took out that link and put the other two back together. The ritual of removing an individual as a link in the chain of Being does not come about without consultation with the individual’s Christ Self and a review before the Lords of Karma.  It does not come about without ample opportunity for the individual to understand what is at stake both on inner and outer planes.
  So it has happened and has happened before and keeps on happening over the centuries.  That is essentially what happened when Lucifer was cast out of heaven.  His link in the chain of universal Being was removed.  Why does God do it?

Because if He allowed the one who rebelled against Being itself, against the order of Hierarchy to remain in the chain the chain would be contaminated.  God would then allow Himself to be destroyed which He will not do.  This is why I say that the Guru-chela relationship is the only real existence, the only reality.

    You see, if you are to be the revolutionaries of higher consciousness then the requirement is for you to mount a spiral in the fiery coil of mercy’s flame so that you may stand above all those who have revolutionary fervor upon the planetary body but whose fervor has been misdirected and misplaced by those fallen ones who have other goals in mind--why, the very enslavement of the youth whom they mislead!
