Prayer – Channel
Father-Mother God, we become aware of Thee, oh Lord, coming before Thee, asking for Thy love and Thy mercy, Thy guidance that Your will may be done, that the children may know the Way, the Truth and the Light. We ask this through the Christ, in faith, oh Lord.

Look to that which is the Light – the face of the Lord! Behold Love! Behold Truth! If you would have that which is love, then walk the path. Be that which is aware that the life that is given to thee, in each and every individual, in each and every entry into that which is as the earth plane, is an opportunity – not that which is subject to the past even, or the present even, but to the opportunity. For remember, life is what you make it to be, not what you have made it to be, nor what others have made it to be for you. Then seize the opportunity, but be cautious. For to be overwhelmed, or to be overwhelming, is of the negative side of mankind. Therefore, seek the balance between the awareness and the opportunity, knowing that you must taste of life so that you may know that which is the truth of life in that which is given by Him, the Master of the Way, the Master of Truth, that the only goodness is God, and the only path is through the Christ. Awaken that which is the understanding of the opportunity that is handed to each one. Lord, Lord be merciful to Thy children, that they, too, like us, may sanctify that which has been desanctified, cleanse that which has been dirtied, open that which has been closed, and fall down before Thy throne rather than turn the backs upon Thy glory. We are here. We have this group. We are ready for this reading.
Mark 9:1
And he said unto them, “Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.”
S Truly it is said that there are those who have not met as man would call death to be, and live, and survive – those who were present at that time, now called as that which is the White Brotherhood. And yet it has the meaning, you see, that within each and every individual is that undying quality of the Lord that will stand forth forever. It is also the opportunity given that the individual will not die, does not die in the sense of being a nothing, and returns to that which is the cycle, or the wheel, or that which is the return to this stage, or other stages, in the opportunity to serve God.
Q Which death is referred to here – coming into or leaving the body?
S This is that which in reality is one. Coming in and leaving is as one. For it is the grasp and the clasp of that which is as the physical. The coming in is the grasp, the leaving is the clasp, you see – the last hurrah, the last tearing away, you see.
Q Were these souls incarnated or not that were standing there that He was referring to?
S They were incarnated, see, to go through that which is the physical understanding, the mental understanding of that which is the trial and tribulation of the human, the entity bound or in the earth, that the understanding could be applied to that which are the spiritual laws in a helpful manner for those generations to come and that generation that existed at that time, that exists again.
Q Will you explain that “….there be some of them standing here, which will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power. Is it possible for us to understand this?
S Yes, this is what is termed, in truth, the White Brotherhood, you see. They are in human flesh. Beware of those who give themselves as brothers, or masters at times and say they are not in the body, and only that of life or spirit. For you see, these are those who have passed over, highly evolved, giving great views, great guidance, but yet guidance warped by the personal desires to do, or be, about their Father’s business. And yet it’s through personages that are still vestiges in these entities, these spirits. Those who have not died have clung to their bodies only as that which is as a service to others on this plane, (this is what is meant by bodhisattva) who has not gone beyond, but remained to teach, to give of self–little lower than Jesus the Christ, but yet of service and of good. [10-6]
Q Were any disciples part of these that became the great White Brotherhood?
S Only the one called John.
Q Are there many of them, or just a few?
S Three hundred sixty.
Q Are there any other names that have been, of other decipher or others mentioned in the Gospels or Testaments that were among these?
S Not as mentioned in your Testaments.
Mark 9:2
And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.
S You have that which are as the mind and the will and the love that exists within mankind, in that order you see, going to that which is as the lifting up to meet that which is the God Force within self. Even as it was done physically at that time, so it is as that which is the procedure with-in an entity.
Q Does this transfiguration with Moses and Elijah, plus that which Jesus later said to the three about John the Baptist, refer to the important spiritual events of the past, those events of their day, as well as the future events to come where Jesus had, and would, figure prominently?
S This is correct.
Q Anything more that can be given on the transfiguration at this time?
S Well, you see, even as to those who were present, or even as Moses, being the first word, the first use of the will, whereas Elijah being that which was the overcoming or the will in motion–for look at the tempestuous life here, the going forth, the coming back, the being as that which is as the wrath of God and then discovering in the old age that God has no wrath. Then as John the Baptist being that which was peace and harmony to the extent that there was no wrath, no hate, no individualization of self’s desires. And then as Jesus in that which is the transfiguration being the One who had overcome the physical of Moses, the mind of Elijah, and had become that which is the perfect pattern, the perfect way. [10-16]
Mark 9:3
And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.
S When faith overcomes, you meet that which is the Christ, the force of light and love that is radiated throughout the body from that which is the God force awakened.
Mark 9:4-6
And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus. And Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.” For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
S You have that which is faith calling upon that which is each of the layers or actions within this plane – the physical, mental and spiritual awakening, that the body may be sanctified and become that which is the tabernacle. And that which is Elias, you see, is th ii hh is the forerunner of the awakening within self, the spiritual nature of self, that ye may meet your God.
Q Is Elias, here, an aspect of a master soul? Was John the Baptist another aspect of the same soul? And was Elias there because of what he stood for?
S This is correct. The steps, you see, of bringing together that which are the forces within yourself, or even as that individual, that the steps might bring forth the magnitude of that power that is given to each and every individual to awaken the Christ within themselves. For you have the prophet, and you have the messenger, and you have that which is the sanctification through that which is as the sacrifice of that which are the mental conditions to the spiritual nature here, as represented in Moses to be that which is the pathfinder, the leader of that which is self and others through the search, through the quest, to find that which is the promised land even within your own being.
Q In the King James version the word Elias is used in the New Testament but the word Elijah is used in the Old Testament. What would be the reason for the difference there?
S They both being the same; Elias being the corruption, you see, of Elijah.
Q Were John and Jesus wholly reincarnations of Elijah and Elisha respectively, or aspects of same?
S Both. [10-20]
Mark 9:7-8
And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son: hear him.” And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
S This is the transformation of self, the awakening to the word of God. This is that which commands the still small voice within each and every entity. The voice of God proclaiming the Christ force is the salvation for each and every individual. That is what you seek; that is what you see. Not that which is the human, or others, or things, but the representation here in Jesus the Son, that you, too, may become the son.
Q Actually, what was the cloud that overshadowed them?
S That which overshadows all things; that which blots out the sky; that which holds the lightning and the thunder; that which is God. In actuality as the entity perceives in the mind, it was the presence of God, indescribable to the individuals other than a cloud.
Q Could you explain further?
S This was even as quoted at other times as the hand of God or the force of God in action. This is that which was the opening up of that which is as the third eye–even for the briefest of time, as seen by others, when that which is the Holy Spirit or God’s work is being done at a level that the individuals will understand and may be touched.
Q Whose voice did they hear speaking out of the cloud?
S They heard that from within themselves, or that which is usually termed the still small voice–rather loud!
Q What other than that written in Matthew 17 [and Mark 9:02] did Jesus say to Peter, James and John, after the voice spoke out of the cloud?
S Well about 80,000 words! The gist of it is: Love the Lord thy God. Know that He has selected thee, through Me, rather than selves being that which are the vehicles. Ye have been chosen. And this is the understanding for this group, too. It is not what ye have done or what you are. It is what God is and does. For sin is that which is the evaluation of selves–and God knows no sin. At His touching, His offering, there is the removal of that which ye have done and known as karma.
Q Was Jesus christed at the time of transfiguration?
S To an extent. But there is not that which we can explain to you. When is gold valuable? When is gold a trinket? When is gold a necessity? When is gold truth? Or is it that which ye must see in its companion surrounding, in the proper aspects, the proper valuation? And each would see it at a different level. So it is that which ye are asking here. Christed, yes, but not fully christed. Inexplainable at your level. [10-25]
Q Would it help those who come after and study this material, to have a description of the transfiguration?
S You have in the transfiguration, even that which is implied by trans (between), you see, and that which is as the awakening of the molecular structure, the atomic structure, to the God force that is within each and every atom, all creation, all vibration. Where in vibrating to the perfect pattern (that) all the electrons that are within the being, all that which is the force that holds the molecular structures together and that which is the megaspeck itself, reflect(ing) then the total power, or that which is given by God to each soul, overcoming then the physical or the material man or being, regardless of what it is, and manifesting then the purity, the light of God.
Q This was necessary, then, for Jesus’ development, that is as the man?
S As the development towards that which is Christhood, which you meet daily in meditation, and to a degree show to those that can see, those that watch over thee, and that which are the outer realms or the darkened realms sees such as a burst of light into their darkness.
Mark 9:9-10
And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead. And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.
S Only God is perfect. Only God receives the accolades. Only God receives the worship. Therefore, give tongue not to that which the individual would see as an individual act, of and through an individual, but hold the tongue and proclaim God by the deeds. Be aware of that which is known here, Son of God. For it is that which not only is Son of God as the Christ force, but son of God that is as the man or mammal, or animal portion of self, too. For there is no term beyond this sphere that proclaims the human but son, being a physical term. You have the duality of Mark. You have that which is the Gemini principle within mankind to show that which is the characteristic human and the characteristic spiritual, in conflict, but must be brought to balance, that the opportunity is conducted to reap that which are the benefits of an incarnation within the earth. That is to say, to glorify God within the actions of self towards others.
Q In Matthew 17:9 Jesus also said, “Tell no one of this vision, until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.” Did He really say this?
S In so many words. Though not. The thought, you see, being that which is the importance here. For the time was not ready and was prescribed, you see, that those who would naturally doubt could doubt, and those who would believe from the inner being–that which is faith–would accept in faith. [10-25]
Mark 9:11-12
And they asked him, saying, “Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?” And he answered and told them, “Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at naught.”
S The messenger comes, the opportunity is given. And when there comes the awakening in an individual, or a group, or a peoples, or even a nation, then comes that which are the trials. The son of man that must be sacrificed is that which is the animal, the humanistic, the human. That which must be sanctified and raised is the Son of man – the Christ. All have the opportunity, as has been given, to serve, to glorify the Lord.
Mark 9:13-14
But I say unto you, “That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.” And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
S All have had the Word; all have known the Way at this time. Therefore, in that which is the subconscious of man is implanted again the seed of that which is the destruction of the negative side of selves that the positive may grow forth. Then that which proclaims the law of man comes forth to argue, to question, to reason in man’s intellect. And therefore, the intellect of self must be sharpened, become aware of its truth, its power, its place, that in dedication it may be as an instrument that will raise the individuals – yea, the nations, the races, to their proper place among the stars.
Mark 9:15-18
And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him. And he asked the scribes, “What question ye with them?” And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, “I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.”
S Here the body, the forces of the body, the forces of the mind, pour forth to acknowledge the Master, the Way, the Truth and the Light, even as in the physical at that time the people did to Him, Jesus the Christ, that that which are as the impurities, the negativities, the criticisms, the foulness may be cast out by the Word, the Light, the Master.
Mark 9:19
He answereth him, and saith, “O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.”
S How much has suffered the Word within each! How often have the overtures of the Lord been rebuffed! And yet, the opportunity that is the Christ is there and calls forth that which is faith to overcome.
Mark 9:20-23
And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. And he asked his father, “How long is it ago since this came unto him?” And he said, “Of a child. And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.” Jesus said unto him,” If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.”
S It is faith that makes you whole. And here is reincarnation. How often you have been cleansed! How often you have cast yourself again and again into that which is this realm – the trials, the tribulations, the seeking, the rebuffs, the conquests, the defeats. And yet, again and again, until you have that which is faith will you return. For in faith you make yourself whole. And who and what is faith but the Christ.
Mark 9:24-26
And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.” When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, “Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.” And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, “He is dead.”
S Here you have that which is torn from mankind: the deafness to God, the blindness to God. Once you see and hear that which is the Light, the Truth (and you can hear Light, you can see Truth), when you know this, then mercy, then God’s law of love, that cleansing has occurred, and you are free of the foolishness you have wrought. For this is the truth and love of God in action, that which is salvation, that which is as the light awakened, and the song heard, that cleanses, refreshes.
Q What was actually wrong with this boy?
S Even as given – the entity suffered from that which is the affliction as given, manifested in the physical, you see, as the epileptic by karmic pattern, but yet forgiven in that opportunity presented to the entity in meeting and facing that which is Love Incarnate.
Mark 9:27-29
But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose. And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could not we cast him out?” And he said unto them, “This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.”
S Since the disciples represent that which are the parts of the human, or that which is still working within this plane, the truth of God cannot be worked by people of this plane. When the entity reaches that which is the Christ spirit, then God works through self. As Christ was the sacrifice, as Jesus was the opportunity, so you must be, too. Then the fasting, which is the sacrifice, is the key and the prayer is the way, and the meditation is the illumining of the individual to become that which is the conduit for the force of God, or that which is the Holy Spirit to act.
Mark 9:30-32
And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it. For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, “The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.” But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.
S When you, too, sacrifice that which is the animal man; when you sacrifice the animal mind, the animal body, the animal desires – in short, separate the spirit from the material – then you, too, will rise up. For it is man that must overcome it’s own element – the material – to be Christed.
Mark 9:33-34
And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, “What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?” But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.
S Capernaum, that which is by the sea, that which became the center of the teaching of Man of Nazareth, and the collecting of the disciples to be as the center, even as ye have within yourself a center to collect the thoughts, and the directives to go to at the time of meditation. It knows, even as God knows, the God, the working God, the Christ, of the dissension, the doubts, the play of emotions and personalities within yourselves (in each and every individual, that is) and that there must be an operation of God within this format to overcome that which are the negative qualities as builded by man.
Mark 9:35-37
And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, “If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.” And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them, “Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.”
S Even as the child has the dependence upon the father, so when you call upon those centers of self (that which are the neurological patterns of self, that which is the endocrine system of self) to witness unto the Lord, and when you become unspotted [from] the world, even as a new child is unspotted from the world (true, returned by that normally which is the karmic need, yet unspotted from that which is the new opportunity, the new way), when you become as this, then you have freed yourselves of the desires of this plane. Even though you are in this plane, be not of this plane. For you, in truth, are not of this plane. Yet act within this plane, for it is the opportunity. It is the opportunity to show faith and understanding once again, to be loving and kind towards all men, all things.
Mark 9:38-40
And John answered him, saying, “Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.” But Jesus said, “Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. For he that is not against us is on our part.”
S You have here the reminder that you are sanctified, renewed through the Christ, that you may not judge or turn others aside, that you may not criticize and become whole, that you must raise your fellowman through your acts, through your positive thinking and doing. And realize that all are equal in the sight of God. Behold that which is the Master of Life who forgave, who loved! Can you do less than forgive and love? And until that time that the criticism, the hate, the superiority is cast aside, you have not achieved and must overcome again until you can accept that which is the humbleness that He, the Light, the Opportunity, the Way, showed forth to you.
Mark 9:41
“For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.”
S The cup of water is the cup of life. Not just for those who give to you that which are the love and blessings as you discern it to be, or come to your aid as you see it, but those who give you the opportunity to be as loving, kind, merciful, forgiving. They, too, are the living waters of the Christ, see?
Mark 9:42
“And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.”
S Every idea, every loving act, every kind word, every mercy that comes your way cannot be denied. For this is as the child. If they are turned aside, then you have not lived in His way. And likewise, if you do not pass on to others love, kindness, mercy – yes, the long-suffering with others; if you do not give forgiveness, then you cannot receive that which is the binding, the clinging power of goodness that is God.
Mark 9:43
“And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:”
S No sacrifice is too great; no action is too small. If that which is the opportunity is not met, or the action becomes that which would hurt (as the hand might hurt another), then this action should be cast aside. For it is better to sacrifice than to give a multitude of sins or hurts that reverberate throughout the body, the mind, the actions of self and others. Yes, it is better to cast it off, cast it aside and even be as naught.
Q When they were speaking of actually cutting off hands and feet – or were those idioms of the speech in those days?
S It was calling to mind for those who were maimed and even could survive that which would be the amputation. They were thought to be less of a person, to be evil, to cast upon others ills by their very presence, and also an almost impossible situation to survive as an individual in any independence at that time.
Q Are these people who were born with amputations or who…..?
S Those that received them one way or another, or came in with defects.
Q The reference to going into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched, is one of the meanings of this referring to the combustion processes within the physical body that represents fire and the returning over and over again?
S This is the energy level that uses the oxygen process within the body to act as that which is, for you, an engine, you see, to maintain the material existence. Yes, correct.
Q Why did Jesus use an example like this that has been so confusing for so many generations as we understand the word?
S Well, you see, this connects, as you will find within the Scriptures, to that which is Hinom, or later called Gehenna, to that which is the sacrifice, you see, even as misused, and yet appropriate and correct, by those tribal leaders of Israel in that time or place, you see. Even in sacrificing to that which was Moloch, that Phoenician deification, the sacrifice of their children to be burned, you see, that which was most precious to them – the male offsprings. Wrong in that which is to the wrong god, in the wrong way and manner; and, yet, signifying that which is as the length you must go, and to sacrifice for God the most beloved possession you have. Then later known as Gehenna, or the place that was for the burning of the waste, the destructions, or the cleansing which [is] a higher thing, and, yet, leading to that which is the highest or that which is the transfiguration within yourself in that which is meditation. Could not be understood. Really was given for those to come not the masses of that day, but the still small voice to be raised within the minority that was to come, is now and will come more.
Q Is that pagan god spelled M-O-L-O-C-H?
S Correct.
Mark 9:44
“Where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched”
S This is the burning within yourself, the return over and over again into that which is the physical plane, where the fire is not quenched, where you must face that which is the cleansing over and over and over again, till you reach that which is the state that He may cleanse you and take your sins upon Himself, through that which His own raising up.
Q What is the meaning of the worm that dieth not?
S That, in a sense, is the Christ force, you see, through that which is the raising in yourself of those forces that are brought about in meditation.
Mark 9:45-46
“And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. “
S This is that which is telling you, through the understanding of the day, in the metaphysical sense, that is, that your feet are planted in the clay of this earth, and you touch this earth which is the material aspect of the existence; and to cut it off and separate yourself from that which is the material existence, yet still within this earth as given as one foot left in touch with (but not possessed by) the material existence.
Q The worm here is also symbolized by the serpent – the coiled serpent?
S This is correct. Yes.
Mark 9:47-48
“And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.”
S You have here the reminder that it is the third eye, the spiritual eye, the single purpose that leads you to thy Lord. Not that which is the dualism of the earth; not that which you see as the material; but it is the spiritual.
Mark 9:49-50
“For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.”
S The preservation of the force, even as salt, or that which is necessary for life within this plane as represented in salt, as that which is the bosom of the sea which you must go upon, is salt. It is the Christ force you must have -the love, the yearning, the urging, the awakening, the understanding and the action in mind and thought that is of the Christ rather than that of the human, the material, the animal, what have you. The operation of all life, regardless of what, is through the Christ force. The redemption of man is when the awakening within yourself is to the Christ, that the Holy Spirit anoints you, raises you up, and gives you access to the Door, the Light, the Way, the Truth. We are ready for more questions.
Q This is saying that every sacrifice, every austerity, every penance is, in fact rewarded with an uplifting and use of the Christ force?
S Any action done in faith – yes.
Q Is there anything else that you would give to this group at this time?
S Walk joyfully. Walk carefully. For even in those small things do not become conceited. Be loving, kind. Do penance in that which are the actions. Guide the thoughts for they are the arrows that follow you. Subdue the desires. Open up the heart that the soul urge may be satisfied, that ye may be fed, and sanctified, and cleansed, made holy by the very Word that exists. Behold the rising of the sun. The new day is born. The night is banished and the song resounds within the empire that is His. Live in love. Beware of the sanctimonious. Act in His light. Bow down the head, the mind, yea, even the soul before the throne of God that He may be glorified and all His creation known to be good.

We give the love, the blessing, the mercy. We give the light, the way, the truth. Open our door. Walk our path. Take our hand and bring joy into the kingdom. For that which is lost is found. That which is dead, lives. We are through with this reading at this time.
