. . . Waiting to Bestow the Power of Wisdom
Find the power of Wisdom, beloved, in its very gentleness. The gentleness of Wisdom is the dominion of all cosmos, of movements of stars and planetary systems.
Wisdom, then, descend upon this host, Wisdom as fire to consume their willful ignorance, their willful tardiness in coming into alignment with God, their willfulness of every sort and kind.
Chelas of Lanto, let these elements go into the fire of illumination, and thereby know your acquaintance with the Holy Spirit!
It is easy to be slothful both mentally and physically. It is easy to indulge the emotions or to engage in reverie, revolving the records of the lower etheric body. But, beloved, to strip all of this from oneself, to be sharpened by Wisdom’s flame—this is the goal.
There are many who have knowledge of tomes of wisdom that go back as far as Lemuria. But these ones, beloved, though they have the mysteries, unless they have love, shall never be empowered by Wisdom.
Humility is to know that God is All in you—that you need not strut this reality, for it is indeed the reality of all sons and daughters of Light who cherish the God Presence. Knowing that the allness of God is yourself, is you, beloved, you can be generous with that allness. Not only is it an allness but it is an allness that is constantly being refilled, refilled by the kindling spark on your heart’s altar.
You have a fire that can kindle a world, a newborn child or your own identity as you determine now to shed the snakeskin of your former self or, to frame this process in another metaphor, to come out of the cocoon and be a butterfly that wings its way to the Mind of God.
You can be one who is quickened, one who is no longer willing to dally in the doldrums of a set pattern but whose soul soars in an upward spiraling momentum. You can be one who does not bow to the rote routine, round and round again. For within the rote there are bright but unclean essences, sparks of creativity, yet sparks of creativity that shall not fly. They shall not fly, for they are not born in Love. They are not born in the creative fires of the origin of the Creation.
Sparks of the lower mental body may suffice for earning a living, but it will take sparks of the Mind of God to carry you in an upward draft to the Central Sun, there to receive the solar ring as crown upon the brow. And although you have thought through the enigma of the everyday challenges of life, it is time you solved the equation of being and knowing that thou art the All of God. For even if you should go to the Central Sun and back again, you may not be able to demonstrate the allness of God.
In order to demonstrate that allness, in order to deliver the Word and to become the Word, you need preparation. And there are certain tools you cannot do without: mastery in public speaking, facility in the Ascended Masters’ vocabulary, the ability to communicate through the heart by the Holy Spirit. Let us see your willingness to go back to school and learn, even at Summit University, how to present the Teachings of the Ascended Masters.
So great a love, so great a love of the Maha Chohan as to enable you to become empowered through him by the word of the Mercurian Lord Morya El!
Understand that life is a spiritual ascent, but in the core of the spiral of that ascent you must yet tie yourself to your material responsibilities—karma. Fulfill them all, transcend them, and day by day produce that work of art that is the fashioning of self in the likeness of God.
Oh, what joy in the earth!
Oh, what joy in Wisdom!
Oh, what darkness in the earth!
Oh, how hateful is that darkness!
How wicked it is to withhold from the children and their teachers the knowledge of the deep things of God. No other knowledge has been so deliberately withheld from the people. But the deep things of God are not set at table as daily fare as bowed heads pray the Our Father, the Hail Mary or Buddhist chants in gratitude for daily bread. How much greater is the soul’s need for spiritual food. And how great shall be the gratitude when you dispense it.
Where is the manna that comes down from heaven borne by angels of Light? It is there also, but ye eat not of it, ye drink not of it. And the table is cleared and the plates are still full.
Come and dine, then, as Jesus said. <1> Come and dine and partake of such fire of the Lord that you will have the courage to challenge the abominations that you have heard of in this conference and a thousand and one other abominations in the earth that you have not heard of.
The strength and the intensity of fire you hold in your chakras, beloved, will propel you into a position of empowerment as soon as you are spiritually and physically ready, as soon as you are able to accept the responsibility of such a position, as soon as you are able to curtail certain types of activities that are not compatible with a bestowal of empowerment. For Love is an all‑consuming fire.
Wisdom demands the dominion of self in all planes. Still, life is intended to be a cup of joy. But what sort of joy is it?
It is the joy of angels and the joy of your soul when you make your peace with God. For then you shall truly enter in to a divine happiness that is simply exquisite. Exquisite, beloved. And in this happiness you will sip the elixir of golden illumination’s flame.
Therefore, in light of the world’s darkness we stand firm. In shafts of light and golden fire we move across the land.
Come! Give me your hand. I will take you with me this night. I will show you where the sun rises and where the sun sets as we make our rounds about the globe and stand in pillars of Wisdom’s flame. These pillars are, in effect and in actuality, the bodies of angels of Wisdom’s flame.
That you might know this earth as we know it, that you might see the suffering as we see it, that you might have a sense of the dimension of that suffering along with a sense of co‑measurement—this is one reason for my coming, and yet it is not the only reason. For I come, beloved, so that you might not make the mistakes of the Tibetans and their leader, who followed a path of pacifism even in the face of the all‑out war waged against them by the Chinese Communists. <2> I come so that you might not be passive before your own dweller‑on‑the‑threshold or the carnal mind. For those devotees of East and West who are unwilling to slay the dweller or the ego of self slither back into the pits with the snakes and know not that they are, each and every one, potentially sons of God.
I would show you the world as Jesus has shown it to many of the saints of old. And inasmuch as they have seen Death and Hell, beloved, so I would also take you to the depths of Death and Hell, clothed with a great armour so that you might observe the consequences that have come upon those who have moved against the Lord God again and again. And you will marvel at how they believe they are in a wondrous place, twenty levels below in the astral plane! For this plane is akin to their own vibration, their own sloth, their own odor.
Yes, beloved, “As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.” <3> Just so, the fallen angels return to the astral plane. And when they reincarnate they attempt to bring the vibrations of that plane with them and to take to those low levels innocent souls who have moorings neither in precious father or mother on earth nor in Father‑Mother God in heaven.
What shall we do, then, with the challenges that are before this nation? What shall we do with the blatant conspiracy against Truth and Honor? How shall we compensate for the spurning of Saint Germain’s gift of love and dedication to America?
Do you think, beloved, that those who move against this nation have any love for Saint Germain or his followers? I tell you nay!
Do they love themselves? Yes, they love themselves, but their love is a selfish, self‑serving love.
So, beloved, as you walk the earth and as you walk it with me this night, look at your life as it has been going thus far, then look at it again and see how it will look as you move into the future. Then ask yourself how it can be that a planet could have such highs and lows. And you will answer, “Surely it must be the threshing floor of the Lord.” And indeed it is.
Therefore, beloved, with all might and love I ask you to remember Saint Germain, to remember 6:30 p.m. at your centers, in your homes, wherever you are on Saturday night. That night belongs to Saint Germain. And I say, beloved, as I look at you in all the cosmic honor flame that you bear, I know well that should you miss a service again, you will not need anyone in heaven or on earth to give you a discipline; for you will hang your head and be burdened that you were not there for Saint Germain at that hour.
Let us see that across the time zones and the margents of the world, beloved, everywhere where there are Keepers of the Flame, Saint Germain can count on you from 6:30 on, until you have given your last marvelous breath, breathing out the fire of the violet flame to all the world.
I say, beloved, the imperiling of this nation is at hand! It is imperiled now! It was imperiled yesterday, yet you knew not how great an imperilment it was. It was imperiled fifty years ago and with the coming of nuclear warfare and with the coming of fallen angels whose karma decreed that they had to embody in all corners of the earth in this century. These then arrayed themselves against the Lightbearers, mainly those Lightbearers in the West and in the United States and in this hemisphere.
O beloved hearts, again we see Iraq, again we see Kuwait, round and round and round again. For the leadership of this nation does not understand that a toad is a toad forever. And if you would be rid of the toad, you must do it quickly, else the toad come again and start the same old mess. <4>
Yes, beloved, what do you think we think, we Ascended Masters who have come to America?
I, specifically, have ensconced myself at the Royal Teton Retreat, for God has appointed me to bring back to this continent all of the positive good of accomplishment in the physical and spiritual sciences of Lemuria and Atlantis and then of ancient civilizations far earlier than these. Yes, beloved, I am here to restore to you the know‑how you must have to bring in a golden age in all fields of service.
Thus understand that I, Lanto, work with you. And I will work even more intensely with you now that you have the dispensation from the Darjeeling Council to study and to apprentice yourselves under those one hundred and forty‑four council members. <5>
Yes, beloved, I AM Lanto and I have tarried with the earth. I will indeed lead you to Shamballa <6> when your work is through that you might beseech the Lord Sanat Kumara to allow you to ascend from the temple at Shamballa as did your Lord Jesus Christ. <7>
Let us put our attention on the hard facts of the day, specifically on the problems of education. Let us address the problems of a religion that is shallow, so shallow that an inch’s worth of water in a shallow pan is all you get.
Understand that the solution to all problems is the universal proliferation of the Teachings of the Ascended Masters. And should you decide to make this come to pass (for it is in your hands, beloved), then I tell you, you will receive great gratitude from those Lightbearers to whom you give the Teachings but you will also receive great enmity from the fallen angels because you will be bringing the Word to the evolutions of this planet.
Therefore, gird up your loins, put on the whole armour of God <8> and know that as this Teaching is cast abroad, even as you cast your bread upon the waters and find it after many days, <9> so this Teaching shall return to you multiplied manifold. But there shall also come upon you the anger of the fallen angels. See to it that you do not identify with it or multiply it. For this anger is the only inhibiting factor to your mission, beloved.
I must tell you, you must have a square jaw, you must have a glint in your eye, you must have a determination to succeed, and you must be certain of the knowledge you have and not allow anyone to take it from you. You must have a will so strong that none can deter you from promoting the Word in the face and in the very teeth of these fallen angels.
Blessed hearts, there is nothing more powerful in the world than the Teachings of the Ascended Masters and your outspoken advocacy of their Teachings to put the fallen angels in their place. Call to the hosts of heaven to bind them in the time of their harvest. Yes, beloved, your calls and your decrees are evocative of the most powerful energy of the planet, and you know it.
How is it, then, that the weariness of the flesh and returning karma do not deter those who have the most to lose from pursuing the same old habits of human fun? There is nothing wrong with human fun at the right time, but it is the wrong time at 6:30 on Saturday night!
The Saint Germain service is spiritual fun! It is where you can release the violet flame—the marching violet flame, the singing violet flame, the dancing violet flame and the violet flame in a vortex of the Mother Kali that does surround the fallen ones and, by Seventh Ray precision, does bind them and take them to the Court of the Sacred Fire.
Yes, the God Surya is here <10> and I am here also. And I ask you to take sheer delight, sheer delight in the defeat of false theology and its promoters, sheer delight in the entering in, therefore, of the angels of illumination of Jophiel’s band who come to pronounce the true theology of the Aquarian age.
We have not yet finished our speaking through this Messenger. We must deliver our message on the economy, beloved, for what with the manipulation of interest rates by the Federal Reserve System and war itself and rumors of war <11> and absence of preparedness for same, things are certainly out of kilter. Yet you are not out of kilter! And you, as one magnet, in harmony one with the other, can achieve that throwing off of darkness.
They are too cocky for their own good, these fallen ones, and therefore they reach the hour of their demise. They fall on the point of the ego and pride. They fall on the three o’clock line, where Lucifer fell. They have seen their arch‑overlords, the fallen angels, fall and yet they fall after them. It is an insanity that the sons and daughters of God cannot comprehend—the insanity of the ego that places itself above the Lord God.
I, Lanto, have come to you out of great devotion to your heart flames. I say, let us lift the veil of ignorance and understand that the child in arm, the newborn babe presented in the temple this day is able to understand the most complex principles that you may be speaking of in his presence.
Children have the Mind of God, as you have the Mind of God. They come with vast knowledge. They simply must learn anew to communicate it and to apply it.
So then, beloved, we are not without the resources to turn around the darkness of this nation and darkness heaped upon darkness. The resource is in your heart. The resource is in your kneeling in prayer before your altar or at your bedside with such an intense desire that it consumes all lesser desires.
What will it take to get you to that place?
I believe what will get you to that place is your knowledge of human suffering, the suffering of children and of billions of people in so many corners of the earth. By and by one day you shall awaken and say:
“I AM a world mother. I AM a world father. I cannot bear to see this suffering any longer! I will heap ashes upon my head and rend my garments until I am rid of all lesser desires so that I may go forth and rescue these souls. This is my passion. This is my passion in the Holy Spirit and I am all‑consumed by this passion. For I cannot allow myself to go this way and that way and teeter and totter while souls are dying before my very eyes.”
When you come to this sensitivity to world pain, that is the moment of the birth of the bodhisattva within you. That is the moment of the birth of the fiery bodhisattva that comes forth from the seed of Buddha sealed in your heart. That is the moment of the birth of one such as Kuan Yin herself, the mighty Bodhisattva. That is the moment when you disappear into the outline of Maitreya, when you become Maitreya/Manjushri, when you become the Word incarnate. It is the moment when you care, above all, for sentient life—when you care for others more than you care for the concerns of this world.
You are not far from this moment, beloved, but you have feared it as though in embracing it you should lose something precious. Well, I tell you, you have lost something very, very precious and now you must find it again. It is the fiery heart of the bodhisattva.
In that consciousness, in the consciousness of being a chela of El Morya, you shall know the all‑consuming power of Love. This Love will give you every comfort and every happiness and all that you need to fulfill your mission. It will also give you such empowerment that God in you will save souls by your love of the Holy Spirit.
When you reach this level, beloved, you can at last embrace the Bodhisattva ideal. And I tell you it is not far from you, for you are fed up with many things in and about your lives, are you not? [Congregation responds: “Yes!”] And you perceive those “many things” to be a waste of time when souls are dying and you have the spiritual means to save them.
Yes, beloved, there comes a moment when the Holy Spirit approaches you, for you have cried out for that Spirit to come to you. And you know world pain and you know the Holy Spirit and you know your own heart and you are not satisfied that the threefold flame within your heart chamber is but one‑sixteenth of an inch in height. You would have it be a quarter of an inch, a half an inch—even a whole inch!
For you know that by balancing and increasing the threefold flame, you would see all of your diseases healed. It is then that you would see the former inadequacy of the fire of your chakras and the former inadequacy of the fire of your mind to do all the things you desire to do as you see them lined up before you. [For the former inadequacies are now compensated by the factor of the increase of your threefold flame.] Finally you would lay yourself upon your cot and say:
“Maha Chohan, I surrender. This world is a terrible place! <12> There be joys here and there, but true joy is only in the rejoicing of my God. I must become a world server. I must become a world saviour. I will do this by writing the Word, speaking the Word, teaching the Word. I will go forth and defend the children and the people, the little people of the nations who love God, are God‑fearing, are honest and truthful, who have been done in by the fallen angels, who are charlatans.”
O beloved, how the angels wait for your call for the binding of these fallen ones and their judgment! How they wait! They can almost not contain themselves, nudging you here, nudging you there, pleading, “Please make the call for the binding of that evil one, who is empowered because the people do not know of his evil”—please make the call for this one, that one and the next one to be brought to judgment.
O beloved, know, then, that there is no sin that could be committed by any of you, no darkness, no self‑condemnation that can stand in your way. We do not fault you for erring. We fault no one, for we know that the state of the flesh is weak <13> and that many err. We do not like to see you fall again and again and again, but we are always happy when you get up.
Blessed ones, free yourselves from the sense of sin, the condemnation of sin from whoever, whenever in all lifetimes. <14> And know that our view of you is that you are sons and daughters of God with a mission. We will walk with you, and the legions of Victory, Jesus Christ, Maitreya, Gautama Buddha and all who serve with Jophiel’s bands on the Second Ray will walk with you. We will move with you and not condemn you but urge you to come up higher and higher so that you have less and less to grieve about in terms of your own shortcomings.
Know this, beloved: We see the reality of you. We amplify it. Thus, not in pride but in humility, rejoice that you are the sons and daughters of God and that your offering is acceptable so long as your hearts are pure and you keep the commandments of your God.
I, then, Lanto, say to you: Take up the great gift of El Morya. Take up the cause of Saint Germain. Take up the cause of Archangel Michael. And know that this is the hour when the victory must be fought for and won. It shall come to pass. This is the hour, beloved.
Pray for your liberation in all things. Pray for that one pearl of great price, <15> which is your cosmic consciousness, your Great Causal Body of Light. “This is where it’s at,” indeed.
I seal you with oh so great a love, oh so great a wisdom, waiting, waiting to bestow the power. I shall come to you individually anywhere in the earth at any hour in the moment when you are able to surrender to the Holy Spirit and start your new life.
I AM Lanto, always your Brother, always your Mentor.
[40‑second standing ovation]

The four‑day conference The Call of Padma Sambhava: Padma Sambhava Calls Home His Tertöns was held at the Royal Teton Ranch. On Sunday, October 9, 1994, the Messenger, Elizabeth Clare Prophet, delivered a dictation by Archangel Michael and this dictation by the Ascended Master Lanto, Sponsor of Souls for Incarnation under Wisdom’s Flame. These dictations are available on video‑ and audiocassette. Videocassette (both dictations): total 65 min., HP94059. Audiocassette: Archangel Michael, 85 min. (including decrees and songs), A94112. Lord Lanto, 77 min. (including decrees and songs), A94113.
(1) John 21:12.
(2) Tibetan pacifism. In 1932 the Thirteenth Dalai Lama, Tibet’s spiritual and temporal leader, prophesied: “If we do not make preparations to defend ourselves from the overflow of violence, we will have very little chance of survival. In particular, we must guard ourselves against the barbaric Red Communists, who carry terror and destruction with them wherever they go….It will not be long before we find the Red onslaught at our own front door….Therefore, now, when the strength of peace and happiness is with us, while the power to do something about the situation is still in our hands, we should make every effort to safeguard against this impending disaster. Use peaceful methods where they are appropriate; but where they are not appropriate, do not hesitate to resort to more forceful means” (Glenn H. Mullin, “The Great Thirteenth’s Last New Year Sermon,” Tibetan Review 22, October 1987, p. 17). The Thirteenth Dalai Lama passed on in 1934, and for many years regents governed Tibet. The Fourteenth Dalai Lama (born in 1935 and believed by Tibetans to be the reincarnated Thirteenth Dalai Lama) was too young to assume leadership. During this period, Tibet was beset by factionalism and bureaucratic corruption. The Tibetan army, which comprised only 8,500 troops, had only fifty pieces of artillery and a few hundred mortars and machine guns. The Tibetans did not heed the prophecies; they believed that the power of religion would protect their independence. In the fall of 1950, when the Fourteenth Dalai Lama was fifteen, the Chinese Communist army invaded Tibet and captured the frontier fortress of Chamdo. The Tibetan troops capitulated and the Dalai Lama sent a peace mission to Peking. The resulting treaty, although granting Tibet nominal autonomy, in fact gave control to the Chinese. In ensuing years, some Tibetan tribesmen have fought against the Chinese troops that occupy Tibet, but Tibet as a nation has formed no lasting organized resistance. On March 31, 1959, the Fourteenth Dalai Lama fled into exile in India. Since then, the Chinese have killed or starved to death at least 1.2 million Tibetans, and much of Tibet’s cultural, educational and religious life has been destroyed. Yet the Fourteenth Dalai Lama maintains: “We must follow a strict nonviolent nature….Whether we like it or not, we have to live side by side. So once you develop genuine compassion, forgiveness, then people also equally respond….[A] genuine sense of universal responsibility on the basis of love and kindness is the key factor” (“20/20,” ABC, 19 May 1989). See 1988 PoW, vol. 31 no. 6, p. 62 n. 5; and 1989 PoW, vol. 32 no. 43, pp. 580 n. 5, 581 nn. 11, 14.
(3) Prov. 26:11.
(4) “Iraq, Kuwait the same old mess.” In August 1990, Iraq’s President Saddam Hussein sent troops to invade Kuwait, which led to the Persian Gulf war. A UN mission led by U.S. forces drove the Iraqi troops from Kuwait. On October 8, 1994, Hussein again massed troops on the Kuwaiti border. The United States, despite objections from Moscow, poured in troops, warships and aircraft in a show of force. The Iraqi troops withdrew. See “Gun Barrel Diplomacy,” U.S. News & World Report, 24 October 1994, pp. 42‑44, 46‑47.
(5) Dispensation to study and apprentice under the Darjeeling Council. See vol. 37 no. 40, pp. 474‑75.
(6) In the service before the dictation, the congregation sang the hymn “Beloved Lanto, Lead Us to Shamballa Again.”
(7) Jesus’ ascension from Shamballa. See 1984 PoW, Introduction I, hardbound volume, p. 11.
(8) Eph. 6:11‑17.

(10) Surya to come forty‑eight hours each month. See vol. 37 no. 36, pp. 415‑16. The Messenger has announced that Surya will be with us on the twenty‑second and twenty‑third of each month.
(11) Matt. 24:6; Mark 13:7.
(12) “This world is a terrible place!” Scholar Kurt Rudolph in his book Gnosis: The Nature and History of Gnosticism describes a basic Gnostic world view: “This earthly material existence, like the world itself, is…a sphere hostile to God, dominated by evil powers which are evident and active in the passions and desires….The entrance into the body…of the `seed of light’, the `inner man’,…marks the beginning of its suffering….The goal of liberation can be attained only gradually with the aid of divine messengers and redeemers….The world is [the soul’s] `prison’.” See Kurt Rudolph, Gnosis: The Nature and History of Gnosticism, translated from German by P. W. Coxon and W. H. Kuhn (San Francisco: Harper and Row, 1987), pp. 88, 109.
