1) Foremost among God’s ideas scintillating in the universe is the ever-living love that radiates joy to the world.  The poor in spirit as well as those deficient in this world’s goods will always find enough in the cup of Christ’s consciousness that runneth over.  His abundant light fills every human need—and divine.

-Jesus Christ, Pearl 4:49 ……………......................... 2) My purpose is a many-faceted one. First and foremost that which is on my heart is to prepare each and every one of you who have known me as Mark–who assisted me in my service to life and who lended support to the Summit Lighthouse–for the ritual of the return known as the ascension in the light. For having come so recently from the planes of Mater, being so aware of stresses and strains attendant upon life in the decade of the ‘seventies, I am in a unique position to assist you along the homeward way.

-Lanello, Pearl17:20 ……………………......................... 3) Male and female, you then are the counterpart of Sanat Kumara and bear the Mother-light. And those who have been the sons of God throughout all ages have had, first and foremost, such a great devotion to the Mother-flame.

-Saint Germain, Pearl 26:42 ……………………….................... 4) First and foremost you understand that your beloved El Morya chose and was chosen to sponsor these Messengers and this organization for the training up of disciples of the living Christ according to the requirements of the first ray. Those then who are not dedicated to the will of God and its perfectionment in their souls and its protection in the Teaching ought not to consider that they are a part of this circle

-Archagel Michael, Pearl 2810 ………………………………........................ 5) And you may know that first and foremost in calling to the Mother-flame of the ruby ray, call to me and through me other sponsors unnamed will come. When you call to the flame of the Father of the ruby ray call then to Sanat Kumara.

-Nada, Pearl 28:36 ………………………………......................... 6) The role of the priesthood, beloved, is to tend the flame of life at the altar of temple and home and heart. The calling of the priesthood is to never let go, or go out, the flame of life. First and foremost the flame must be kept by these committed ones on behalf of planetary and solar evolutions. The priesthood are Keepers of the Flame on behalf of those souls evolving on various rungs of the ladder of life, extending the grace and mercy and ritual of the seventh ray that they might find their own God-mastery,

-Archangel Zadkiel, Pearl 29:57 ……………………..................... 7) I AM the Maha Chohan, so named the Great Lord, and I do preside over the seven chohans of the rays. Each of these rays comes forth from the heart of the dove of the Holy Spirit. And that ray in manifestation to the planet is first and foremost the individualization of the God-flame by each of the seven lords.

-Maha Chohan, Pearl 33:19 …………............................... 8) Blessed ones, first and foremost no matter what the Teaching must be spoken. It must be delivered up and down this nation!  It is well that the Messenger has carried it to all nations of the Earth, but in this hour the rise or fall of this civilization [that is America] will make all the difference. [And I tell you,] lightbearers have not been culled out of the fields of this nation as they should be.

-Godfre and Lotus, Pearl 33:30 ….. ……………………………………………////………………, 9) Certainly the book A Dweller on Two Planets is the foremost book that we can give to serious students on the path who are new to these teachings. It is very readable in a nineteenth-century-style English. It gives us an awareness of just how rich was the vocabulary of Frederick Oliver, who was yet in his teens when he served as amanuensis for the adept Phylos the Tibetan who dictated the book to him.

-Messenger ECP, Pearl 34:60 ……………………………......................... 10) This being so, the planetary body has therefore gained a new status midst all planetary bodies, midst all evolutionary homes. For once again it may be said that Maitreya is physically present, not as it was in the first Eden but by extension of ourselves in form through the Messenger and Keepers of the Flame. And as you have been told, this mighty phenomenon of the ages does precede the stepping through the veil of the ascended masters—seeing face to face their students and their students beholding them. http://www.summitlighthouse.org/pearls/1984pows/pw84bk1int.html?query_highlight=foremost+first

…………………........................... 11) Archangel Michael may enlist you in the armies of heaven, but first members of his legions must train you at the retreat of the God and Goddess Meru. There you will begin your studies under Jesus Christ and Gautama Buddha. You will learn many things--first and foremost their true teachings: what they really taught and how long ago they came to liberate your souls from the false teachings of fallen angels.

-Archangel Uriel and Aurora, Pearl 40:8 …………………………............................. 12) Thus we see what can be the future of this home of light, this planetary body. And first and foremost what it can be, beloved, is that action of sacred fire whereby you have such a kindling fire of violet flame that comes from Omri-Tas, that comes from the ruler of the Violet Planet and all those who serve the violet flame—that there must be, there can be, there will be a tremendous intensity and multiplication of violet flame throughout the remainder of this conference. -Saint Germain, Pearl 45:6 …………………............................... 13) The councils of the God-star meet. And we deliberate as to how we can accelerate those who are willing to be accelerated in all fields of endeavor, first and foremost that of bringing forth the spiritual equation that does ignite all else that must be accomplished in the development of the mind.

-Surya, Pearls of Wisdom 47:8 ……………….................................. 14) We have seen with such rejoicing chelas on the path who have remained steadfast, who at first had resisted the action of decrees. And of course we know, for we see—we see that it is not the soul resisting the action but it is the carnal mind that has everything to lose and nothing to gain. We see that it is the agitation of discarnates that are feeding off of the light of that soul as vultures. -Angel Deva of Jade Temple, Pearl 63:16 ……………………….............................
