IN A CHANNELING THROUGH NADA-YOLANDA on May 10, 1974, Sananda, speaking for the Hierarchal Board of our solar system, commissioned Mark-Age to implant a prototype of spiritual government on Earth, the I Am Nation.

Sananda/Jesus
“Sananda to El Morya and Nada. You have come to this area [southern Florida, site of Mark-Age headquarters at the time] for planting a new spiritual nation. Now it unfolds to your conscious minds and memories. Let it begin.
“I have given all the information required to begin to implant what is spiritually proper and good for the race of man now evolving from third into fourth dimensional consciousness. Therefore, in your roles, anchored and solidified, as the race representatives of conscious-will [El Morya] and subconscious-memory [Nada], you must do our work as one unit for its execution on the physical.
“As you receive fourth dimensionally what I send and is in your memories of superconscious identities (I Am Selves) for the Hierarchal Board government of our solar system, you then are required and are capable to plant down in the Earth third dimensionally that which is of God’s only plan and only desire: to bring His sons back to I Am confidence, roles, missions and fortunes. You have begun.”
As Sananda later explained, the I Am Nation is a government of, for and by the I Am Selves of all people on Earth. Regardless of race, religion, gender, age, nationality or spiritual-group affiliation, everyone is a potential I Am Nation citizen. The I Am Nation is not a political government, but is a spiritual congregation of all souls who seek to serve God, first and foremost, and the I Am Selves of all people on Earth.
Henceforth, implanting this new spiritual nation would be a major part of our co-participation with the Hierarchal Board in the higher planes. The physical, legal vehicles for the externalization of the I Am Nation would be the five major divisions of Mark-Age, Inc. Those divisions are: I Am Nation News, I Am Network of Light, University of Life, Healing Haven, and Centers of Light.
Mastering Our Roles
Each one of us is a character in the symbolic and literal drama of the planning and the planting of the I Am Nation. A symbolic drama also is being acted out in our own consciousnesses, in which our many thoughts, feelings, attitudes and levels of consciousness are the characters.
Each of us must examine and work with the thought-citizens of his or her own consciousness and establish the I Am Nation within himself or herself in order to become a citizen of the I Am Nation on Earth under Sananda. The thought-citizens of our consciousnesses are the characters in the drama of our lives.
According to how we master the script within our own consciousnesses, we are able to choose and to determine the role or the part we shall play in the macrocosm of the race drama. Some aspects of our roles already have been determined by the Hierarchy, our Christ Selves, and our own past karma, but what we as characters do with our roles is up to us.

Mark & Yolanda, 1968
If you represent the soul of man, you can portray how the soul redeems and purifies itself; or, you can portray the soul continuing to rebel, to suffer and to wallow in its errors and misery. If you represent the will in man, you can portray mortal will opposing Spirit; or, you can portray mortal will overcoming selfishness and sacrificing itself to and for God’s will. Each of us has these and many other characters in the cast of our own consciousness. It is up to us to learn how to master them and to determine what role they shall play in the overall drama of the race.
The theme and the concept of planting a spiritual nation on the Earth are not totally new, but have been developed through our history as a race since the time of Atlantis. By examining how the light workers have played out a similar dramatic theme in past ages, we can gain insight and wisdom to aid us in understanding our present situation, and how we may perform our part in the highest possible manner for the benefit of the whole cast of characters (our fellow beings on and around the Earth), the Hierarchal Board as directors, and the entire race of man in this solar system as viewers who are learning from and aiding us in this drama.
The lead character in the drama of our race history on the Earth has been the leader of the race of man on the Earth since the time of the Abels and the Cains: Sananda of the Hierarchal Board. His past incarnations have included: leader of the Abels and the Noahs, Melchizedek, Gautama Buddha, Moses, Socrates, and Jesus of Nazareth. Let us examine the drama unfolded in the preparations for establishing the I Am Nation and Sananda’s Second Coming, during two of his past Earth incarnations: as Moses, leader of the children of Israel, and as Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ or the Messiah.
As Moses, Sananda led the children of Israel out of bondage in Egypt to the Promised Land. Symbolically he was leading them out of bondage to the errors in the mortal, material consciousness (Egypt) by bringing forth the spiritual laws and teachings by which they could guide their lives and attain spiritual awareness.
As Jesus of Nazareth he told the Jews that the kingdom of heaven was at hand. But, he said, “My kingdom is not of this world.” Again Sananda was leading the race, through his example and his teachings and his guidance, out of bondage to the mortal self and unto the promised land of the I Am consciousness.
In these Latter Days, he solidified his trinity relationship with Mark-Age cofounders Nada-Yolanda (1925–2005) and El Morya/Mark (1922–1981) and instructed them as his incarnated ambassadors to lead us, the spiritual workers or the children of Israel, out of the bondage of mortal consciousness and into the promised land: the kingdom of heaven or the I Am consciousness. This is the planting and the planning of the I Am Nation on Earth.
Each time we act out this drama we do so at a higher level, with new and higher opportunities. Now, in this Latter-Day period, we must understand consciously the significance of what we are unfolding and must master our roles. It is the last rehearsal before Sananda returns. If we do not master our roles now, we will not be able to participate in the final performance with him in his Second Coming, but karmically will be destined to repeat the drama in some other solar system until we learn to accept the will of God.
The Law of God
The will of God and the law of God are the basis of all things. The only possible foundation of the I Am Nation is the law of God, just as the laws of any nation, rightly interpreted and obeyed, are the foundation for that nation and government. Restoring the enforcement of and adherence to divine law is the plot and the theme of the entire drama of this ages-long hierarchal program; and indeed, the whole history of the Earth since the fall of man. For this reason Sananda — as Moses, as Jesus, and now through the trinity relationship of Sananda, Nada and El Morya — has stated unequivocally the law of God. He insists on nothing less than total adherence to it.

Moses on Mt. Sinai
As Moses he gave the law. He brought forth divine law at a time when it had been lost to the conscious knowledge of the race, including the spiritual workers. The fact that many of the religious leaders of the Jews misinterpreted Mosaic law, distorted it, ritualized it, complicated it, and took it literally instead of spiritually or metaphysically has not made the law less real, less true, or cease to function. Moses did not make the laws. He merely stated them, as a channel for God and for the Hierarchal Board of this solar system.
Sananda’s mission as Jesus, as he stated clearly then, was to fulfill the law as given through Moses and the prophets. This is the Seventh Ray, the seventh step, of which Sananda is the chohan: the completion or fulfillment of divine law. Only through fulfillment of divine law can the soul experience peace, love and rest.
The law of karma is: as you sow, so shall you reap. Only through reaping what it has sown, through facing one’s karma, can the soul experience the repentance and the cleansing necessary before experiencing union with God. So, Jesus preached repentance, and worked only with those who would face and admit to their soul errors. He worked with prostitutes, publicans and sinners; and told the self-satisfied Pharisees, “The publicans and harlots enter into the kingdom of heaven before you.” For they were the ones who were willing to face and to reap what they had sown, and to repent of it.
Repentance entails a great deal more than an intellectual recognition that we are in error; more than emotional remorse, or the intention and the desire to change. Repentance of an error means to change or to eliminate completely that error. True repentance is a soul-rending experience that sears the whole being so deeply that there is no choice but to change. It cannot be emotionally forced or mentally willed.
But it can and must be prayed for by all who would enter into the planning and the planting of the spiritual nation on Earth. With this change of heart comes the experience of the divine love, the forgiveness and the redemption of the Christ. This is divine love, that is harsh and demanding of the soul, knowing it cannot be saved or rest until it has fulfilled all of the law.
As Moses, Sananda gave the law. As Jesus he restated it, and he fulfilled it personally as an example and a way shower for the rest of the race. Now, in these end times of purification, he has charged us, the light workers of Earth, to do likewise. This is a serious charge. The laws have been given. Now is the harvest period, the critical turning point.
On April 3, 1974, Nada-Yolanda was told by the Hierarchy, “Now you [the race] enter into the last judgment.” No more is it sufficient to know the law in part, to know it only intellectually or to speak it only in words. We must live it, if we are to be allowed to participate in the new spiritual nation and to go into the New Age in this solar system. No one will be exempt from the charge of perfecting his or her own soul karma, though there be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. This is the drama of the end days.
Hierarchy Leads Light Workers Out of Mortal Consciousness
Who are the characters in the divine drama of fulfilling the law? In the plot of leading the spiritual workers into a new nation or a new area of consciousness, there are two main roles or functions: the master and the disciple, the leader and the follower, the teacher and the student.
Sananda as Moses led the children of Israel. Sananda as Jesus led the Jews. Sananda, Nada and El Morya as one trinity function are leading the Mark-Age Family and all light workers on the Earth and in the astral who are drawn into participation by their own Christ Selves.
Many disciples are teachers and leaders in their own right at a certain level. But here we are speaking of the master teachers and the representatives of the Hierarchal Board. In order to understand this drama properly, we must understand as well as we possibly can the role of the master teacher and our relationship to him or her.

Jesus of Nazareth
The Hierarchy has channeled through Nada-Yolanda that the only known way of evolving the race consciousness is through example. The Hierarchal Board masters serve as the examples we must follow. They do not replace our Christ Selves, but they do represent the Christ Selves of all souls in the solar system, and therefore are qualified to give the instructions, the teachings and the requirements of the Christ. Therefore, in serving and in following the instructions of the Hierarchy and its representatives on the Earth plane, we also are serving and following our own Christ Selves.
A master teacher represents, demonstrates, and insists on the fulfillment of, divine law. Those who recognize and desire divine law, not just intellectually but with the whole heart and soul, are able to recognize the master of it. Those who are able to serve and to learn to fulfill divine law are those who can serve a master of it. The master asks no service for himself personally, but service only to the law of God. Yet, his function is to represent God’s law, so his function must be served in order to serve God’s law.
Moses had spent forty years of purification in the wilderness, when Spirit revealed his role to him and told him to go openly and lead the children of Israel out of Egypt to the Promised Land. Jesus had spent eighteen years, from ages twelve to thirty, preparing and training before he was directed to begin his public ministry and to preach openly the kingdom of heaven.
Sananda, Nada and El Morya prepared, trained, worked consciously in embodiment on Earth as Yolanda and Mark for many years to solidify their trinity relationship and to externalize the Hierarchal Board. In May 1974, they began to plant the I Am Nation on Earth. They represent the Christed trinity relationship that each of us must achieve within ourselves. Therefore, they are our leaders and way showers to Christ demonstration. Only in accepting and understanding this can we come to understand and to play properly our own roles; for our roles are one with theirs.
Our roles are as the disciples, the Jews, the children of Israel. The role and the difficulties of the disciple — which each of us is to his or her own Christ Self and to the master teachers of the Hierarchal Board — must be honestly looked at, faced, examined and worked with.
It is not an easy role to play properly. This is witnessed by the fact that the children of Israel all deserted Moses’ leadership and the worship of God, in favor of worshipping a golden calf, when Moses left them alone for just a short while. Even Aaron, Moses’ brother and a representative for the Hierarchy in his own right, deserted the true law and guidance.
Again, in the days of Jesus, one of his chosen twelve disciples betrayed him, another denied him, and only one remained with him during his crucifixion. If this represents the past record of the light workers which we are, then at this point in our drama we better begin to examine our hearts, our minds and our soul records deeply and carefully to find out what, how, why.
Not all of us were incarnated in the days of Moses or Jesus. But we are all symbols; we all are playing roles. If the twelve chosen by Jesus had such difficulties, surely none of us dare neglect to examine the same possibilities of betrayal within ourselves.
Overcoming Betrayal of the Christ
The thoughts, the feelings and the acts that betray the Christ Self are something that exist in every person’s mortal personality until he has passed fully through the crucifixion–resurrection ceremony; which may take several lifetimes. Betrayal can occur in many ways, on many levels. It can be subtle; and usually is unconscious and is seemingly justified.
The Israelites murmured, criticized, complained against, and threatened to stone, Moses as he was leading them out of bondage, because they missed the familiarity, the security and the material conveniences and comforts they had in Egypt. They feared the dangers, the hardships, the unknown factors of passing through the wilderness. But these are the sacrifices required by the Christ.
Judas betrayed Jesus because Judas thought Jesus should be leading a political revolution, not a purely spiritual one; and hoped to force Jesus to assert power over the Romans in self-defense. He did not hate Jesus. He simply did not understand or agree with his methods and the Hierarchy’s plan.
In examining the subconscious patterns within ourselves that are the causes of such betrayal, we must consider that these patterns can be on many levels. The familiarity, the security and the comfort that the Israelites resented giving up on the material plane, for us may be simply the familiarity, the security, the comfort of our accustomed ways of thinking and of doing things. This is why betrayal can be so subtle. That which we are accustomed to seems and feels right to us, when in fact it may not be so at all.
If, like the Pharisees, we are self-satisfied, we will resent, will disagree with or simply will ignore the master teacher who challenges, rebukes or corrects our errors. Like Judas, we may go our own way; feeling that the methods of the Christ are not for us or are not the highest; or that our leaders are not what they claim to be. Outlining basic causes of denial on April 18, 1973, Sananda channeled that we must “overcome denial, criticism and the feeling of knowing better than the Christ Self within, or the master teacher of Christ consciousness, as to methods and means and appearances for this demonstration.”
Crucifixion–Resurrection Initiation
Because the drama of betrayal and denial has been acted out so many times in our race history, that does not mean it has to be acted out again on any level by the light workers. This is the whole purpose of what we have incarnated to do: change the race karma, change the race drama. But to do this we must understand it, and we must understand that we are not apart from it. The Judas pattern exists within our own souls. We have been the children of Israel, in thought and feeling.
But now, in these Latter Days, we are to dramatize Judas redeemed, Simon Peter affirming, doubting Thomas believing, the Israelites accepting and supporting our leaders; the prodigal son coming home.
This is our demonstration. This is the sacrifice of our mortal personalities unto the God Self within. Our God Selves are represented by the Hierarchal Board, presently dramatized through the trinity demonstration of Sananda, Nada and El Morya.
Now we no longer will crucify, will deny, will criticize or will desert our leaders, in any thought, word or deed. Instead, we will let them, who have passed through the crucifixion–resurrection ceremony, guide us through the crucifixion of our own mortal complaints, denials and personality expressions and into the resurrection of the Christ.
This is the planting of the I Am Nation on Earth. Our leaders ask nothing more than this: the privilege of guiding and teaching us in that which they so humbly, painfully and dedicatedly have undergone themselves in service to each of us and to the entire race of man throughout the solar system.
It is up to us to choose — for each person must choose consciously — the crucifixion of the mortal personality; lest we continue to crucify the Christ within ourselves and in all others. This is our greatest opportunity and service to the Earth in the entire hierarchal program: the opportunity to correct the pattern, to change the script, and to live the drama of the light workers in action on Earth, following the guidance and the direction of the Hierarchal Board of our solar system. We, if we are lifted up, shall lift all men unto us.
Divine Law Fulfilled on Earth
Only in this way can Sananda return to the Earth for his Second Coming: through our acceptance of him; not in word, but in deed and in active support. His mission is the fulfillment of divine law on Earth.
Only in this way can the Seventh Ray of Divine Love and Peace, of which he is the chohan, be anchored. For there can be no peace, no love, no rest, no fulfillment or completion without the fulfillment and the completion of the law.
God, divine law, is not mocked. We must reap what we have sown. When we have crossed out our mortal errors, then we shall be worthy of entering the new I Am Nation and of upholding God’s law on and about the Earth for Sananda’s Second Coming.

Wow, what a magnificent treatise! My first thought was “laser-focused truth, crystal-clearly stated.” But it’s all mostly summed up with “Wow!”
