Shamballa, Long Island

July 10, 1977

Beloved candidates for the Ascension, I am deeply grateful to you for having made possible a Cosmic Event!

Oh, my lovely ones, you will never know until you are Ascended and Free what your Light has done to make possible the transference of the Ascension Focus from Luxor in Egypt to long Island!

Some of you will remember the story which was related to you . . . how I had the great privilege with some of my followers when I took the Ascension Flame from Atlantis to Egypt and there it has remained in its full Power through the centuries. Blessed be that Holy Land which has been our host for many, many centuries. Now bear with me for I would like to tell you a little story...

Many, many, many centuries ago you know that our beloved Sanat Kumara, blessed be his holy name, came from Venus to cradle this dear Earth within his Light... he remained until a successor was found to take his place, our beloved Lord of the World, Gautama.

Then the time came for the transference of Shamballa over the Gobi Desert to Long Island... that was accomplished, too, by the Light and the dedication of the blessed chelas. So you see, dear ones, Service to the Almighty is indeed a privilege and a joy... and you know in the recesses of your being you are taking part in the Cosmic Evolution of this Planet...

Well, the beloved Maha Chohan, now our beloved Holy Æolus, conferred with Sanat Kumara and with Lord Gautama... oh, this is before you have any idea of the time... but anyway we counseled with beloved Helios and Vesta, from whose Hearts this Earth was born, and a Plan was set forth which we believed would bring about all the necessary Plans of the Spiritual Hierarchy for this Earth.

Then Beloved Maha Chohan, Sanat Kumara and Lord Gautama went to the Central Sun, our mighty Alpha and 0mega, and asked for their acquiescence to our plan. Having received that Grant, the Great Ones so joyfully went to the Karmic Board, and after quite some deliberation, they gave their approval.

Well, beloved Maha Chohan gathered all of us Chohans into his study and there he told us that there was a lifestream... and I shall tell you that was beloved Lady Miriam... who could channel the Instructions and be a contact for the Spiritual Hierarchy, and that through her illumined Consciousness she could write the "Bible" for the New Age.

Well of course, then beloved El Morya, who already had an inkling of this said, "I shall Sponsor everyone whom we draw about her." And those of you who were so privileged came one by one and joined the little band and under the guidance of the beloved Maha Chohan. And Saint Germain said, "I will release all the Violet Fire possible to purify all these lifestreams", and so it went on and we had to make the circle from Long Island to several parts of the country, and then back here again to Atlantis. Here beloved Lady Miriam knew that her time had come... that she had fulfilled her obligation, her duty, to the Spiritual Hierarchy and she was taken home and the work was continued for the chelas... and having completed the Bible, it was decreed by Cosmic Law that you should be given information as to the actual current activities of the Hierarchy... and so it has taken place.

Now to return to the Ascension Focus...

Dear God, how grateful I am that I could have the privilege of escorting that Flame back here to Atlantis... and you know, not many understand what the Ascension Flame does, or what it means. Most people think, "I will be so glad when I am purified enough to get off this Planet and can have the Ascension Flame enfold me in its embrace and I shall not have to return... "

Oh, yes, that is a mighty ambition but for those who serve under our banner you shall stay as long as we require you. Be of good cheer, I am a Master of Love, and I shall give certain Directives which may seem very severe but Discipline is Love.

Well, at 12 o'clock last evening, the Ascension Focus and Temples at Luxor were etherealized, but in deference to the Holy Land of Egypt the Builders of Form have created a small Temple in the Etheric Realms where I had the privilege of leaving a portion of the Ascension Flame.

You know so many people journey to Egypt to see the various Temples and what took place in the annals of history, so the Ascension Flame, although in a lesser Radiation, will still bless every traveler to that beautiful Land.

Precisely at one minute after midnight, a tremendous paean of praise reverberated thru the ethers and the mighty Seraphic Host stood at attention, and with the voices of the Angels singing the most glorious anthems, I had the privilege of taking the Ascension Flame within a glorious brazier and holding it close to my Being - and like a mighty meteor we came through the ethers and arriving here on Long Island (Atlantis), we anchored that Flame within the Holy Ground across the road (chelas stand), Thank you, Beloved Ones, please be seated.

And I wish you to know that I, personally, eleven years ago designed my new home on Long Island and that is why there was a terrific pull to go over there. And I assure you that I will let you feel my Radiation of Love at all times but I wish you to remember that the Ascension must be the raising of the vibratory action of Long Island, and from Long Island, the Planet Earth... every blade of grass, every stone, every particle of life, every individual on Long Island will have their vibratory action raised as of this day, I pray, Oh Seraphic Host, guard them, stand with them, help them to fulfill their Divine Plan, and in all humility, I, Serapis Bey, am grateful, so grateful to the Creator of us all for being privileged to tend, to watch over, and dispense the Sacred Essence of the Ascension Flame.

And before I leave this platform, I should like to tell you that the Thought Form for this Class is a Magnificent Seraphim holding aloft a brazier within which burns a portion of the Ascension Flame and this lovely Seraphim is surrounded by an aureole of Heavenly Blue, for the color of Atlantis is Crystalline with a Blue Radiance.

I thank you, my dear, blessed chelas... feel the Love with which I enfold you. I love you each dear one... 0 God, let them know - let their hearts burst with Joy, with ecstasy at serving with the Ascension Flame. I thank you.

+++++++

From the Realms of God's Eternal Peace,

I feel the Pow'r of Love's release;

And, in contemplation, now I see

My Beloved "I AM" Presence over me!

Its dazzling Light envelops all

As I, in adoration, now do call;

As loving arms enfold me 'round,

I dwell in ecstasy profound!

From within this pulsing Sacred Flame

I hear revealed my Secret Name;

As I raise in consciousness, I stand

Ever holding o'er death the Victor's Hand!

As I arise - ascended - free,

From deep within my heart, the Light I see

Enfold all in Its Pow'r of Love -

The Sacred Tone from God above.

Now in Heaven's Realm, my voice I raise

In pouring forth eternal praise

For the Love that strengthens and inspires

And the Light Rays that are God's Sacred Fires.

"I AM" God's Love; his Pow'r; his Might;

My one desire - all life free in the Light -

Returning now to God - the One -

The Source - the Great, Great Central Sun!
