My beloved disciples,

When I embodied as Jesus, there came the moment when it was time to begin fulfilling my mission here on Earth. I approached the river Jordan where John the Baptist stood waiting¾waiting to help me at this most significant point in my life. Looking back, John truly prepared the way for this cosmic event through his work and his teaching. As he was both fearless and forceful in his expression, he had attracted a following that was quite impressive. However, throughout his life's task many unfriendly eyes were upon John and his course was one fraught with the utmost difficulty and danger, both to himself and his disciples.

It was John's responsibility to prepare the way for the coming of the 'Christ' in a form acceptable to the children of Earth as one of their own. It was his further responsibility to recognize both the man and the moment, at which to make the statement that would release the human consciousness to that of the divine. Further, he had to give the Son of God his blessing through the symbolic baptism by water, which represented the acceptance of the true Son of God through the feeling nature of all humankind. This major event in history was the activation of what has been called by many the Christian Dispensation.

Much has been written about John the Baptist, and much more has been surmised. To this, I would now like to add my voice of truth. John was a principle participant in the unfolding of the age in which he lived at that time, and of previous ones as well. He was recognized as Elijah the prophet, which I clearly stated to my disciples at the time of my transfiguration. John was also one of the harbingers of the New Age of Spiritual Freedom, both by the example of his life and his courage in the fulfilling of his mission at that time.

John the Baptist came to Earth crying out loudly, aware at some level of the difficult path before him, but armed with the strength of God to overcome all tests. He was completely successful in his mission and stands as one of the highest sons of Heaven now and forever for his sacrifice, which prepared the way for my advent. Through the act of baptism, he recognized with his entire emotional nature the Christ embodied in all humanity. Also, through the manner of his death, the beheading of John symbolizes the complete release of the human mind to that of the divine Mind of God. He did this not only for himself, but for the rest of humanity! Beloved ones, understand, accept his sacrifice, and be grateful to God for this great being of light, who so powerfully heralded the coming of the Christ. Through the manner of his life and death, John the Baptist confirmed an important evolutionary step designed in the New Age of Spiritual Freedom, which is that of full enlightenment by the Mind of God, which will ultimately lift humankind to the level of Buddhic Consciousness!

Beloved ones, as present day disciples, you walk the path of sacred fire, and this is one of purification. Among other things, it is the purification of all records less than Christ perfection for the people evolving on planet Earth, right back unto the very beginning of time, when only God Perfection dwelt within their spirits. Through this sacrifice by sacred fire, you, each one, serves as an example of the Christ in action upon the physical plane of existence, within the daily life of all humanity.

You shall be here, there and everywhere, setting the pattern for your sisters and brothers to follow, showing them the way to build lives in Christ Consciousness within their homes and families, in the work-place, in schools and all places of learning and healing. Your task is to share the ways and means to build minds, feelings and bodies of pure light once again. The possibilities are truly endless in scope!

My beloved disciples, these are the records that shall now be written, and by this cosmic process, all records, memories and thoughts of anything less than God-perfection will be transmuted back into pure light, so the spirit of humanity may truly evolve in freedom, accepting and enjoying the New Age of Spiritual Freedom-now and forever.

As I stated before, John sacrificed the emotional and mental nature of humankind, and as Jesus, I gave up the physical body. Part of your mission dear chelas is the complete purification of the etheric records, memories and effects within the substance of the bodies of the Earth and all her evolutions. Thus the sacrifice of the lower vehicles is complete, except for the purification of the records of the race consciousness which originally made these steps necessary.

As you can imagine, and I AM well aware, this is a considerable task! However, it is one in which you shall obtain increasing assistance from your brothers and sisters as they awaken, and be assured they will! However, as they begin to stir from their slumber of the ages, for a time, more etheric memories may be stirred up than can be purified. That is, unless you are conscious of what must be done and fully prepare yourself to assist them.

You have been told many times that the entire first part of this New Age will involve working with the aspects of the Seventh Ray dealing primarily with forgiveness, mercy, and transmutation, and this is clearly true. One reason is that your newly awakened sister's and brother's consciousness is open in the extreme, trusting all who offer them enlightenment upon their paths. During this phase of their awakening, they may be unaware of the need for both protection and transmutation.

Many shall be drawn to the activity of The Bridge to Spiritual Freedom, and this is good. However, it is well for you to be prepared to accept them with your arms open wide, filled with the ray of divine, unconditional love flowing forth from your hearts. I beseech you:

Do not let the New Age of Spiritual Freedom be withheld from you because you have not yet perceived your reason for being!

Do not let the New Age of Spiritual Freedom be withheld from you because you have not made a statement of your true being!

Do not let the New Age of Spiritual Freedom be withheld from you because of a lack of acceptance of your true being!

Do not let the New Age of Spiritual Freedom be withheld from you because of a lack of acceptance of God's pure, divine and complete love for you!

If you can now put into practice all that has been taught to you and fulfill the sacred examples that have been set down, you can and will bring forth the New Age of Spiritual Freedom for yourself! In so doing, you will find it so easy to bring it forth in others, because all life is truly ONE, fully united at the heart of all creation. Remember, when you recite, or better still, sing the words of the song Holy Christ Self, you state: "Thou Holy Christ Self within my heart, help me to manifest all thou art! Help me to see thyself in all; teach me to show men how to call all of thy glory from the Sun, until Earth's great victory is won! I AM, I love thee! Thou are my all! I AM, I love thee! Hear my call!"

Oh, my most beloved disciples, hear my call now! If you, through lack of acceptance of your own Holy Self, cannot accept my love, which is all encompassing and all fulfilling, then how can your brothers and sisters take this one, all-important step? How can they enter the light of God- Illumination that shall set them free, if you¾who know¾do not take this step?

Beloved ones, cross the threshold and accept God's Love for you. Let it flow through your beings as the force of love, wisdom and power of Holy Spirit, that knows neither bounds nor limits, but goes where God wills! Know you can never be separated from this great, all-encompassing power of the universe, which brought all life into being and sustains your life now and forever! "Abide in me, and I in you... I am the vine, you are the branches..." [John 15:5] Together, we are one, now and forever!

I AM your brother, united in Christ Consciousness,

Archangel Micah
