On the Cusp of Great Possibilities
A Tale of Two Cities
Gracious ladies and gentlemen, the gratitude which men feel that wells up within them establishes a contact with the immortality of God, and it enables them, in their finite state, to begin those alchemical transformations whereby their lives become sublime manifestations both of gratitude and universal substance.
When mankind begin the process of truly understanding what the purpose of their lives is, they are able, then, to move the elements of their being in the direction of that attitude of being which engenders the magnificence of God within them and brings it into a full state of manifestation. Unless individuals are able to hold the substance of immortal life within the wineskins of consciousness, the new wine distillate* of spiritual attainment is seldom realized, for they continuously leak upon the ground those precious treasures of heaven which are vouchsafed to every man according to the invocation of his soul.
For there is within consciousness an invocative element in man which calls forth universal reality within the field of his consciousness. I would to heaven that mankind would understand that—that they would understand that universal reality is ever seeking to manifest within them that graciousness of Christ which, in reality, should become the gift of every woman and every man.
The Christ Consciousness
Can Become the Lot of All
We often look upon individuals in their struggles and sense of struggle and say to ourselves, why will they not let go? Why do they retain a sense of struggle and human madness?
It is difficult for us to grasp now, from higher levels, the reasons why individuals do not perceive that the reality of the Christ consciousness can become the lot of all. It is a simple manifestation yet so universal in its transforming effects. Those who are able to gather within the field of their consciousness the vision, the magnificent, transforming vision, of God-reality are able to see and witness that that reality can become a part of themselves just as easily as a flower unfolds and its fragrance is released.
O mankind, I call to you, then, in that awareness of the Divine Alchemist, in that awareness of God that is so universal and beautiful, for you to sunder your ties with those activities of the earth which are of the earth earthy1 and without the ability to produce the unfoldment of divine and universal reality within you. Through the sundering of those earthly ties, you are able to establish, then, with greater ease the magnificence of heavenly contacts that will convey you to the very altar of God, where the blessings of the Holy Spirit will unfold within your lives that graciousness in consciousness whereby there is room within yourselves to accept all the treasures of heaven.
Individuals should understand that the treasures of heaven are given freely to all, but all do not receive them freely. For there is often a tension in the being of man that will not allow him to relax and to receive the divine stimuli.
The Grace of God within You Sheds Forth
a Tangible Outpouring of Light
The divine stimuli of the Holy Spirit are indeed an activity that will create both a guarding effect in consciousness as well as an understanding of the receipt of great abundance. When individuals are able to feel and to know that they are receiving great abundance, it not only enhances the quality thereof, permitting its multiplication and expansion within their lives, but sheds elements of light upon all men that all men thereby be blessed.
Do you realize, children of the light, how abundant and how magnificent is the grace of God within you that sheds forth light unto those whom you meet who have never, perchance in their entire embodiment, experienced even once the manifestation of the Christ light?
We are speaking of a tangible outpouring. We are speaking of a quality of graciousness and happiness that is spread abroad and becomes manifest through your consciousness. And this is rightly so, for this is as it should be.
Do you, then, understand today as I am speaking to you, even right now, that grace is coming to you through space and through time? Will you understand that the blessing of the Brotherhood is being conveyed?
Will you understand that I have the power and the will to cause magnificent grace to flow to you wavelike that you may feel it? As these waves of great height and depth enter and flow through your being, they are instilling into you a feeling of the God-control which always knows the perfect act to do and always understands how to expand consciousness so that consciousness can itself become imbued with divine grace.
Light Will Expand and All Shadow Will Be Put Away
Grace is omnipresent. It is here and it is also there. It is moving in the world order, and it moves side by side with those human elements of degradation and despair which mankind can scarcely abide yet do not seem to terminate. What a strange thing it is, you may say, that all of these forces of both light and darkness, of shadow and of sunshine, dwell side by side in the tents of men.
I say to you that one day the light will expand in all to such a great degree that all shadow will at last have been put away. And in the indwelling light of the eternal Presence, man will find such a fellowship and communion with God that he will understand at last that it has been a great pity that it did not manifest before.
Individuals will feel that way because they will not understand why they had to pass through the tests of time and space. They will not understand why they were involved in situations and conflicts, why turmoils ruled in their mind, until at last they have reached a level of attainment where the ascended master consciousness flows into them that grace and understanding that perceives that there is purpose in that which occurred. For men are not always ready at a given moment to receive the fullness of divine and universal grace. And therefore, when the student is ready, the teacher will appear.
When individuals understand that there is a fullness of time, that there is a time to be born materially as well as spiritually, they will recognize that in that tide of time there are accomplished elements of eternal value that will produce in the world newness of life, fragrance of hope and the appearing of the flowers of an eternal spring.
Understand the Power of Effective Transformation
It is my wish, then, today to make known unto you that the darkening appearances in this year, 1973, that manifest just behind the seeming outer shape of things are frightful ideas that are being sent forth from black magicians and those individuals who desire to create chaos and tragedy for the world. The counteraction of that by the children of God is essential in every age and at no time more than in the present, for you dwell upon the cusp of great possibility. The portents of that which is to come can be very virtuous or very ugly.
It is essential that mankind understand the need to hold their hand in the hand of God and to perceive his universal truth of effective transformation. Unless they will understand the power of effective transformation in producing the desired and wanted elements of life, we may well indeed see great conflict and bloodshed in the world order, which will only sustain, temporarily so, those manifestations of the Pandora’s box where evil dwells.
It is not our desire to perpetuate these conditions or to foster them in the world order. Quite to the contrary, our desire is to instead exemplify the manifestation of universal truth in a more than ordinary manner. We say to all of you, then, who have some understanding of compassion for the world and the world pain that has far too long raged in the world order, do those things which are necessary even when it may seem that you literally faint for lack of energy.
I tell you, the activity of human vampirism in the world is frightful indeed. For individuals always turn to where the light is to seek to change the light into darkness, for in darkness there is no strength but only those fragile and decaying manifestations that are the entombment of hopes of the past.
The Kingdom of God Shall Appear
Now then, when I say to you that the light of the universal Christ must prevail, I mean that it must prevail because you understand how necessary it is to guard both the chalice and the sanctuary of your being, to guard the chalice of the heart and the sanctuary of your identity and your mutual doings in the service of our Brotherhood in the producing of the kingdom of God among men.
So long as the world order is warped and twisted in its matrices, I assure you that you can expect that certain manifestations of human ugliness will occur. It is our desire to see them brought speedily to an end, even as it is yours. But it is not the desire of all men, for ignorance abides upon the planetary body in the very face of light, and ignorance itself is a frightful thing which manifests ugly occurrences also. Because if men knew better, they would do better indeed, as has been said.
A Golden Age of Hope and Joy Will Appear
We say to all of you, then, lift up your heads! Lift up your consciousness! Lift up your hearts! And let your hearts sing a joyful melody unto God to know that one day all the coiled springs of human vanities, all the coiled springs of human pains and deceit and despair shall themselves be uncoiled and the energies come to an end and be at rest in God. Nevertheless, newness of life that shall appear shall once again wind up the springs of man’s being with those glorious hopes that presage the coming of a golden age of hope and joy that will appear among the family of nations.
The kingdom of God shall appear in hearts all over the world. One shall be taken and another shall be left.2 But they shall appear. And you shall see in all the divers signs that appear in the world that the hand of God is behind those signs that are promised unto mankind.
And lo and behold, the unfoldment of fruit and flower, the unfoldment of the teachers of men shall appear in the world order and domain until at last reality is born. And the star of that reality shall light the world with the realization of the Christos. And by the inflaming of hearts with the Holy Spirit, darkness shall be banished and the comfort of the ages be known.
Lo! our Brotherhood reveals within you the unfolding drama of the reenactment of that which is past, that which is present and that which is to come.
I thank you.

Ascended Master Lanello’s Ascension Day
Mark Prophet – the Ascended Master Lanello
Mark Prophet ascended on February 26, 1973 and is known as the ascended master Lanello.
Behold! I AM Everywhere in the Consciousness of God!
Mark Prophet opened the door to heaven for us all. That’s how we know what we know about the Brotherhood and the path of the ascension. This is the meaning of the thread of contact.
He held it for us and never let go of it until he could place it in our hands and trust us to not let go. This is the meaning of hierarchy and the lineage of all who go before and after us. This thread is fragile and so is the grasp upon it.
“Behold! I AM everywhere in the consciousness of God!” That’s the mantra of Lanello. And one day you can wake up and be there—not in the afterlife but right here and now, forever there and ever here. You can live in two worlds at once—in God’s consciousness and yet fulfilling your physical responsibilities on earth.
This mantra is, was and ever shall be the communion of the saints that transcends all octaves and time and space, worlds without end: “Behold! I AM everywhere in the consciousness of God!”
Mark’s Hope: Contact Your Higher Self
Mark’s hope for us was and is that our souls will rise in a burst of joy and creativity through the discovery that we can truly contact the Mind of God through the Christ Self and the sacred fire raised to the crown chakra. His hope for us is that the Mind of God in us will be the open door to eternity and to the fulfillment of the spirals of our Causal Bodies here on earth.
Why Mark Prophet Ascended
One of the key reasons that Mark took his ascension was to see to it that the children of the light upon earth might traverse the dark abyss of the astral plane and arrive at their proper position, either in the etheric plane or in the octaves of light.
He wanted to collect all of us together. And the only way he could do it was to be everywhere in the consciousness of God. And so he took his leave of us and ascended.
Mother gave us a message of hope after Mark’s ascension. She said, “I know that through the sacred heart of Jesus and the immaculate heart of Mother Mary, Mark, as Lanello, has a direct tie to every soul of light on earth. I know that you can pull upon his mantle at any hour of the day or night and speak to him. Tell him of a need, personal or planetary, and he will answer that need to the fullest extent that the Great Law will allow.
“And I know that he is as fiercely dedicated to liberating each one of you here today and all who shall ever read these words as he was and is to liberating my soul unto the final victory of the ascension.
“For those of you who are beginning to understand the meaning of the fusion of heaven and earth through the Presence of Lanello, know that you have a Guru that you can hug. Know that you can hold on to that mantle and that you can tug. Know that you can talk to him, whether about the most mundane and simple things or about the most complex laws of the universe.
“He could explain the stars and he could point out all of the plots and ploys of the fallen ones designed to make us indulge our human consciousness and to detract us from the path of life.”
Mark Prophet Loved People
Lanello is a man who always loved life and loved people. There is nothing that would have delighted him more than to have remained in embodiment for two- or five-hundred years going all over the planet, loving people and talking to them. He just loved to talk to people and never ceased to be interested in people of all sorts.
Mark used to travel across the country. And wherever he would go—a café, a drug store, a gas station—he would stop and talk to the working people. He loved the working people. Mark Prophet is the guru of the little people, the farmers, the laboring classes all over America—as well as everybody else’s guru.
And so for him, to ascend was the ultimate sacrifice so that we could arrive at this point to serve in our mission. Mark worked hard and he worked long. He loved enough to master himself. Self-mastery is the key to adeptship. And Mark certainly demonstrated this.
Lanello, our Ever-Present Guru
And now as the Ascended Master Lanello, he still holds this love for us all. You may contact the magnanimous heart of Lanello, our Ever-Present Guru, through playing the melody “Greensleeves.” The keynote of his identity is contained within the notes of this musical rendition.
Those of us who knew Mark have formed the habit of writing letters to Lanello, telling him of our wants and desires, our burdens, our hopes and wishes. We place these short notes either in our copy of Climb the Highest Mountain or in the Bible and leave them for Lanello to fill. And do you know, he answers almost all our ordinate desires—those that are in accordance with the will of God.
The answer is not always instantaneous, but it is fun to look back over our lists after a period of time and see how many have been answered. Perhaps you would like to join us in this exercise. It is not too late!
In Lanello we have our model for victory. He is our living Guru. Always remember that he is saying to you and to me, “You, too, can make it if you TRY! You can make it in this very life!”
Saint Germain has told us, “Death is either the doorway to infinity or a point of reentry whereby man must eventually return to the finite to undo and redo and to finish that which he has left undone.”
For Mark Prophet, death and hell were swallowed up in Christ’s victory. Truly, Mark lived and died and ascended for his principles and his loves, which were God’s. He exchanged the body terrestrial for the body celestial (1 Cor. 15:40) that we all might live. We have come to know one who walked among us, who knew God and who became one with his everlasting consciousness. He bids us do the same. He takes our hand. He shows us the way.
And yet, Mark traveled a long and hard road in this embodiment to find his way. It was not easy. He began a long, personal search, with many experiences and great disappointments in searching for God.
He found that the religions of the world, and even the alternative movements, were not always what he thought they should be. But he kept right on searching. And somewhere along the line, the Ascended Master El Morya made his appearance. We have all heard, “When the pupil is ready, the Teacher appears.”

Who Is Saint Germain?
Saint Germain is our immortal friend and brother. As the Chohan of the Seventh Ray and Hierarch of the Aquarian Age, he is leading the people of earth into a new era of freedom and enlightenment.
At the time of Atlantis, Saint Germain served as a high priest and a master of invocation at the Temple of Purification.
Through invocations and his boundless love for the flame of Life, Saint Germain sustained a pillar of fire, a veritable fountain of the violet flame, which magnetized people from near and far who came to be set free from binding conditions that afflicted their body, soul and mind.
These devotees achieved physical and spiritual healing through the offering of invocations and the practice of seventh-ray rituals to the sacred fire.
