To the Spirit of the Immaculate Concept, Archangel Gabriel!
As the Archangel Gabriel promised to come to Beloved Mother Mary and
intensify the Divine Concept of the "I Am" Presence of the Master Jesus before
his birth, so does Beloved Gabriel offer to come and direct his Cosmic Flame
through the outer consciousness of every individual on Earth, stirring the
remembrance of that one's own Divine Image and Likeness into active being!
At this season, when the externalized perfection of the Master Jesus
is honored, invoke the Presence of the Beloved Gabriel! He will not fail you.
Into the swirling confusions of thought and feeling, he will direct his constant
Flame and, for a moment, the remembrance of the perfection, the glory, the
Divinity of your own "I Am" Presence will stamp itself upon your mind. Accept it
in your feelings and ask Beloved Gabriel to keep it sustained and help you as he
helped Beloved Mary, to nourish and develop that Divine Pattern through your
outer self!
Archangel Gabriel! Come now into the atmosphere of Earth! Attend the
consciousness of those gathered in the "upper chamber" seeking the true Way!
Bring to their remembrance the full glory which they had with their Source
before the world was. Sustain their enthusiasm until the glory and perfection of
that Presence is externalized in the fulfillment of their own Divine Plan; to
their individual victory and for the encouragement and stimulus of their
fellowmen.

THE RESURRECTION TEMPLE OF BELOVED JESUS
AND BLESSED MARY
March 15 through
April 14, 1956
The Resurrection Temple is focused in the Etheric Realms over the
Holy Land and forms the spiritual focus for the magnificent Resurrection Flame,
which is the hope of redemption for all life that has lost, even temporarily,
the natural rhythm and harmony of God-expression.
The control of the vibratory action of the energy drawn from the
Supreme Source of life is the responsibility of every self-conscious
intelligence. The thoughts, feelings and actions of the individual qualify the
energy so freely given to each lifestream and regulate the vibratory action of
that energy as well. The resulting inharmony, sickness, limitation and various
distresses which are externalized by the soul, fill the aura of the individual,
"bog down" the vibratory action of his inner and physical bodies and plague him
with shadows of various kinds. These finally lead the individual to a point
where he calls for help to reorient his life; to reorganize his own spiritual
and physical forces and, at last, to arise again to his natural estate of
harmonious mastery of energy and vibration.
The Resurrection Flame has been magnetized by Great Beings who have
seen this need for spiritual resuscitation and who have wisely prepared the Way
to answer the calls for help which they knew would inevitably come from the race
when the shadows became so uncomfortable that they could no longer be endured.
Thus, always, through the mercy of the Cosmic Law and through the interest and
cooperation of Divine Messengers, there is provided a Way to return to the
Father's Home, long before the souls of men even sense the need for help or
desire to so return.
In the early eras, when each individual lived in perfect harmony
with the Music of the Spheres and his own inner bodies and physical form
vibrated rhythmically according to the keynote of his own individualized "I Am"
Presence, there was no specific requirement for a Flame of Resurrection, except
insofar as it was used by the Directors of the Forces of the Elements to awaken
the dormant Nature Kingdom to Its rhythm of productivity after its rhythm of
rest.
When mankind began to break the natural rhythm of his own vehicles
through destructive use of the free will, however, the mighty Intelligences who
have taken the responsibility of sustaining the spiritual selves of this
evolution, saw that the Resurrection Flame would be required, in time. They knew
it would be necessary to help those so desiring its use to regain the natural
rhythm and harmony of their various vehicles of expression and to sublimate (to
refine with fire) and transmute the soul into the Holy Christ Self.
As all other foci of the Sacred Fire, the Resurrection Flame is
magnetized, sustained and expanded through the cooperative endeavors of Cosmic
Beings who provide its beneficent radiation for all who choose to tune into it,
bathe in its vitalizing power and become, in themselves, radiating centers for
its HOPE in their own homes and localities. The Beloved Ascended Master Jesus,
whose own Victory was accelerated by the knowledge and use of this Resurrection
Flame, is one of its Guardians, as is also his Holy Mother Mary. The Beloved
Archangel Gabriel and his Divine Complement, the Archii Hope, are also connected
with this Flame, the Resurrection Temple and its Brotherhood.
The Resurrection Temple is built in circular form, composed of seven
beautiful corridors encircling the Holy of Holies, upon whose Altar the Flame
itself is focused. The radiation from the Resurrection Flame passes outward from
corridor to corridor, lessening in intensity and power on its journey toward the
periphery of the Temple. Thus, in God's mercy, each group of initiates and
chelas can find the corridor in which their own inner bodies are most
comfortable and wherein they can absorb as much of the power of the Resurrection
Flame as their particular development allows. As they advance in purity and in
works, they are drawn closer and closer to the center of the Temple. Finally,
they are privileged to stand within that Flame and, utilizing its momentum of
resuscitation, complete the sublimation of the human nature. Thus they become
ready to dwell in the Kingdom of Harmony with those who have learned to master
the energies entrusted to them by God and to use those energies only to increase
the beauty and perfection of life.
The corridors of the Temple of the Resurrection Flame are peopled by
Angels, the finer bodies of some unascended beings, and Elementals, as well as
by the Masters who have chosen to guard and develop those who, by their very
presence here, have signified interest in the power of Resurrection and desire
to have the assistance of its radiation.
The Spiritual Law is very exact and a balance must be rendered for
every added blessing of grace, understanding and opportunity. Therefore, those
who desire to move toward the center of the Resurrection Temple cannot content
themselves with merely enjoying the buoyancy and exhilaration which flows
through them by reason of their proximity to its Focus. Each beneficiary of the
resuscitating power of the Resurrection Flame is carefully supervised by the
Master or Angel in charge of the group in which he is fitted to dwell. Those who
utilize to the best' of their present ability the gifts, powers and radiation of
the Resurrection Flame for the blessing of all life, are marked and those who
merely absorb its essence are also marked by the Supervisor of each group of
aspirants.
Wise, then, is the chela who directs his consciousness toward the
Resurrection Temple at night, with the heart-felt prayer that he may receive
some of the hope, buoyancy, resuscitating power, general gifts and benedictions
of that Flame, bringing back into his own outer consciousness, his home, his
business, his nation and his planet, a focus of that Flame which becomes a
radiating Sun of Resurrection wheresoever he is. Thus does the chela comply with
the law of receiving and giving, in perfect balance!
