IN THE CRUCIFIXION–RESURRECTION CEREMONY that I demonstrated as Jesus the Christ of Nazareth, I proved unto you that the balance between the mortal and the immortal is extremely delicate, and at all times it must be like a seesaw that goes back and forth between the mortal and the immortal expression; though you may be anchored well in the light; though you may have a cosmic mission of
tremendous proportions, such as my mission in that lifetime was to set an entire pattern for an entire race going from third into fourth dimensional frequency. . . .
But I remind you of the example set upon the cross in order to demonstrate the resurrection of the light body. . . . Upon the cross I spoke many words that give you this clue as to the reason why the ceremony of crucifixion–resurrection of the light body is a balancing between third and fourth dimensional frequencies. Never was I totally in one nor was I totally in the other until Iwas able to demonstrate the resurrection fully. The resurrection demonstrated the ascension. The ascension then must demonstrate the redescent, in the seventh initiation.
But since mankind is going through the sixth initiation, or the crucifixion–resurrection of his own evolutionary body and frequency, we speak now of the example or the pattern that was sent forth on that one life span or stream that gave the pattern by which you could follow certain rules and understandings of that experience.
“This Day I Will See You in Paradise”
I spoke unto the two who were beside me on that cross in Golgotha and said, “This day I will see you in paradise.” It is the conscious awareness of the destiny of all who will seek Spirit to go beyond, to live immortally. Yet, I did not say to them, “You are in paradise.” Nor did I say I was in paradise. For I was upon the cross, as they were upon their crosses, crossing out the physical, waiting for the resurrection of the spirit, if the flesh and the spirit together accepted the higher force, the life immortal. This was done by one but not by the other.
So therefore we show again we have a choice, and we must give each one a choice. Even though two men go through the same experience, one will make one choice and one will make another. The free will of both is to be respected and to be allowed. For none are to be left out in the eternal ongoing, though one may take a great deal longer to arrive there than the other.
I said unto the one who accepted the demonstration, “This day I will see you in paradise.” But to the other I did not say, “You never will see paradise.” So therefore the conscious realization of the Christed being who is in the physical agony of his own body and his own crucifixion is to know that within that day or period or time he may move on to his immortal realization.
But I was not saying the physical did not count and the physical was not having the experience it was having. This applies to your own physical ailments, to your own mortal yearnings and disappointments, to your own unhappy relationships and disappointments of the worldly way in which you are living.
So, within that worldly way, if you will accept the higher teachings and the truth and will work in a spiritual manner, in that day and in that age and in that period you will see the results of the higher teachings, even though you are not experiencing them at that very moment and the body, the mind and the soul are in torment.
For the soul is one of the most important aspects to be considered in this crucifixion–resurrection. In many cases the souls of the people who are concerned must go through the karma and the cleansing more definitely than even the body. If the bodies are not suffering in some cases upon the Earth at this time, the souls are in torment or are having experiences that need reminding of the resurrection of the spirit through the soul experience.
This involves the astral planes, and the workers who are on the astral contacting those upon the Earth through various means and manners, including possession, obsession and other forms of communication, be they good or bad for the individual. It is part of the balancing, it is part of the growing, it is part of the cleansing from the crucifixion of the mortal world, the three-dimensional physical mortality, into the fourth dimensional immortality of the light body and spiritual consciousness.
“I Thirst”
I spoke again and said, “I thirst.” No immortal being in his light body suffers from the thirst and the pain and the anguish of the physical. By speaking these words, I said unto all men that in the agony of your crucifixion, your physical body will thirst, will hurt, will know disappointment, will know pain, will know the broken bone, will know the sword in the side, will know many, many things. The thorns upon your brow will be pressed down greatly into your conscious awareness.
This is no denial of fact. This is reality on that plane of action. For if I did not become aware of the physical and did not know that the body in which I was residing had this pain and this thirst, I could not have spoken thus. Yet, I did not drink of anything offered unto me, for I thirsted more for the Spirit at that moment than I thirsted for the physical, or the physical thirsted for its solace.
So, you must also become aware, in your physical pain, mental anguish, soul yearnings, that the thirst you feel is twofold and balanced. The thirst you feel is for some sort of comfort on that particular level where you are being crucified. But the thirst you really seek or the nourishment or the comfort you really seek is of the Spirit.
“Unto This Mission Was I Born”
It is there where I spoke again and said, “Father, unto this mission was I born, for this purpose did I come.”* This was the cry upon the cross. This is the cry for every man to speak in his crucifixion and resurrection of the light body. For this purpose did he come into physical incarnation: to cross out his physical yearnings, to cross out his physical appetites, to cross out his physical needs, in order to see the higher satisfactions, the higher foods, the higher waters of Spirit, to feed the spiritual body.
Yet, it is again a balance between the physical and the spiritual, the mortal and the immortal. For both are hungry and thirsty, and it is a matter of making a decision at the point of your crucifixion. Which will you give more power to at that moment, the spiritual or the physical? Had I given more attention unto the pain and the thirst of my physical body, I would not have been able to demonstrate the resurrection of the light body.
My concentration at that particular moment in time had to be on the thirst for God consciousness, the thirst for God realization, the thirst for my Father, my I Am Self to pour through me, rather than for man to pour waters upon my aching wounds and my dried-out body upon the cross. This must ever be the decision you make, the denials and the affirmations, the discernments you make between the physical and the spiritual, between the mortal needs and the immortal expression of the light body.

* From the ancient manuscript called the Peshitta, the authorized Bible of the Church of the East, George M. Lamsa renders the translation of Matthew 27:46 as: “My God, my God, for this I was spared!” Or, “This was my destiny.”
“Woman, Behold Your Son”
Finally, I also was able to recognize my responsibilities, and said unto John and Mary, “Woman, behold your son.” Man, disciple, friend, take care of this, who was and is my last and final physical and mortal responsibility upon the Earth planet.
At that moment in time upon the cross, [I recognized] that although I would resurrect in the light body, my responsibility to Earthly and mortal relationships and physical beings had to be transferred to Earthly mortal physical beings and not be my responsibility when I am in the light body, when I am in the total resurrected Self as I demonstrated following the crucifixion.
This again is the grave difficulty that all who are upon the cross of their own crucifixion–resurrection ceremony at this time must face. For there are too few of those going through the ceremony of the crucifixion–resurrection ceremony on Earth who are willing to give up their mortal responsibilities to children, husbands, wives, lovers, friends, businesses and so forth. They see them as their responsibilities. They feel karmic attachments to these mortal physical beings and areas of interest, and are unwilling to rescind and to turn over that which they have gathered unto their souls to others who are capable and willing to carry that further burden, responsibility and debt into the realm of the mortal.
This is very wide in implication. It is not to be understood, at this point, that everyone who comes into light consciousness must leave physically every relationship, every physical responsibility to business and to his own upkeep and care. For that is not what is intended here at all. It is the conscious burden or the sole responsibility that one takes upon himself and cannot go on into a spiritual mission because he feels that no one else, nothing else, will carry that burden, that responsibility or that karma for him; whereas there are many who are willing and able to carry forth that mission or to share that burden or to act independently of his particular function and aspect so that it is mutually carried.
So, this is not a treatise to say that all who come into the light body will throw over all physical jobs, livelihoods and responsibilities of a mortal nature. It is a balancing-out of that which is important and may hold you to the physical consciousness, emotional relationships and jobs, and from going on into your spiritual realizations.
“Unto Thee I Commend My Spirit”
When I spoke and said, “At last, Father, unto Thee I commend my spirit,” it was because from the physical I was able then to turn every atom of being into the spiritual consciousness and to release my body; which is the last responsibility of mortal man upon the Earth.
So, the final act was the responsibility of my relationships and karma. Mary is my soul counterpart [twin soul] and therefore my very intimate and personal responsibility on any plane on which we both are operating at the same time. And one’s own body is the last and final responsibility to the conscious mortal being. When the individual is ready to release every atom of his being to the spirit within for reevaluation, reconstitution, rehabilitation and transformation, then he is ready for the resurrection.
Though that may take several days, several weeks, several years, several lifetimes, it is still the same process inwardly, mentally, emotionally, physically. For spiritually we are in God’s keeping or Spirit’s keeping on all those levels: physical, mental and emotional.
There is no other power but God or Spirit. Therefore, there is no power of the mind, there is no power of the body, there is no power of the emotions or the astral levels or the past karma, that binds you. By releasing each one of these areas in its own particular place and time, you release your conscious responsibility to others, to the world itself and to your own physical incarnation, in the steps that are appropriate in the time that is appropriate for you on whatever levels you are being made aware at that time: physical, mental or emotional.
You cannot do it all at once, and would be in grave imbalance if you tried to do it all at once. So, be very circumspect, be very cautious, be very discerning when you do release each of these areas to your spiritual Self. But know that in releasing each of these areas consciously and dedicatedly, you then step into the tomb.
In the tomb of darkness, in the tomb of that period of so-called death, you are in a state of conscious rapport, dedication and faithfulness to the Spirit that shall do the work within those darkened periods, within that darkened area, within that blankness, and shall write upon that blankness the whole new life, the whole new body, the whole new responsibilities, the whole new man of light, of truth, of resurrection.
When this falls upon the ears and the eyes of one’s disciples, friends, fellowmen, as the Holy Spirit fell upon the ears and the eyes of the disciples who were forewarned of this experience, then the knowledge is spread, is amplified and grows. But until that time it is not accepted, it is not well received, it is not well grounded in the Earth or in the dimension on which this experience is to occur.
So, if you have rebuff, if you have disbelief, if you have disagreement about the process of the crucifixion–resurrection ceremony, then you must realize it is still part and parcel of the entire initiation. It is not for you then to reexamine the two areas where you have to make your demonstration, those two areas being the mortal and the immortal bodies. For if you dwell too much upon the mortal body, you will begin to feel the anguish, the thirst, the regrets and the sorrow.
But there was no sorrow, there was no pain, there was no anguish that could not be superseded by the realization that the immortal aspect, the light body, the resurrection, was shortly to follow, according to Spirit’s will. For that had been predestined, that had been forewarned, that had been accepted.
So, the dwelling consciousness must at that point be upon that which is to come, not that which is the present: the suffering, the crossing-out, the denial. This is the pattern, this is the way, this is the function for all to follow. Whatever area you are experiencing in or expressing, let this be the example through which you can follow and apply this knowledge.
For those who fail at the crucifixion–resurrection ceremony are those who fall back into mortal consciousness and deny unto themselves the fact that the resurrection is the other side of the coin of the crucifixion they are going through. It is hand in glove. The two may not be separated. They are one experience.
As long as it takes you to have this realization, that’s how long it will take you as a soul to go through the crucifixion–resurrection ceremony. As stated before, it may be one or more lifetimes, it may be one or more years. But that is not the point. The important point to express here is that as you recognize the crucifixion, you are expecting the resurrection.
The resurrection is in the divine pattern for all men — as I lived it and demonstrated it through my life’s incarnation known as Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ Messiah of the Jews — who carry the truth, who know the law and who are prepared to live the right way. Amen. So be it in truth.

Jerusalem means “habitation or foundation of peace.” It is the “city of peace.” Also, Jerusalem is known as the “city of David”; so, we also can think of Jerusalem as the city or dwelling place of love. As we rend fully the seventh veil from our consciousness, we are moving into the Aquarian Age, which is characterized by the Seventh Ray qualities of divine peace and love. We are accepting the Christ vibration of peace and love on the planet. We are symbolically but quite literally entering Jerusalem, the time and the place of peace and love.
The citizens of Jerusalem took palm branches and went out to meet Jesus. Since ancient times, the palm branch has been a symbol of victory. Entering the New Age is a victory of the light. But the palm frond also has a deeper metaphysical interpretation. Just as the Christ entered the gate to the city of peace and love amid palm fronds, the energies and inspirations of our Christ Self enter through the gate or crown chakra at the top of our head.
terrestrial. Additionally, the crown’s circular shape signified perfection and eternity. So, unlike royal crowns of gold and jewels which represent divine power and attributes, the crown of thorns epitomizes mortal error and resistance. Hatred, greed, lies, jealousy and the like are the thorns of mortal consciousness that crowned the head of Christ, placed on him by society.
In this transition of the Latter Days, we are being guided gradually to shift our emphasis away from the cleansings and purifications characteristic of the sixth step, or Sixth Ray, and towards accepting our resurrection, including the ascension that is the seventh step, or Seventh Ray, for the Age of Aquarius now dawning.
The cross is probably the most famous symbol of Easter. In the religious history of man, various forms of crosses have been important to cultures the world over. For example, for ancient Egyptians, the ankh or ansate cross, with a loop at the top, was the symbol of earthly life as well as of life after death. Actually, the ankh predates Earth history. The Saturnian Council or Hierarchal Board, headquartered on Saturn, exercises it as a symbol for utilizing the power of God’s creative energy.
demonstrating, in the performing of our I Am talents externally, we automatically are changed, purified, transformed, brought into higher states of consciousness.
For instance, in interviews, time after time I fielded questions covering the entire gamut of the spiritual program, thus challenging me at every moment to maintain a high state of alertness and intunement, and to adhere to spiritual wisdom in my responses. I dealt with the receptive and the skeptical alike. I was even challenged to hold the focus of light and love in the face of mean and malicious attacks from persons who were either hysterical or totally closed off to the spiritual message. Over and over again I was challenged by Spirit to sacrifice my personal desires and needs, so that Spirit’s desires and needs could be channeled through me to serve the highest good of all people involved.
We are joined with the Hierarchy, as coworkers, to bring about the transmutation of the planet and the full rending of the seventh veil. Our next step in this cycle is to demonstrate, to put into practice, all we have been prepared and purified to do. This doesn’t mean necessarily that we will be called upon to give lectures or seminars or to perform our spiritual talents before masses of people. For our special service may be behind the scenes, seeding the mass consciousness in so many silent ways, or holding the force field for others who require our physical and spiritual support in order to step forth in their public functions.

February 22, 2024. DREAM. In Nada-Yolanda’s apartment, I had a productive conversation with her about the hierarchal program while I cleaned her stove top. First, I used soap and water, then switched to Windex because I found it more effective on the enamel finish.

September 3, 2024. DREAM. I was visiting Di C. in Australia. When I departed, as I passed through an outer room, I came across Ken. He was sitting in a chair, intently reading a book. I sensed it regarded important research, or projects and plans he was involved with, so I did not disturb him (he was not reading for leisure). But I noted that he looked so much younger, appearing as in his early forties. With that observation, I awoke.
September 7, 2024. DREAM. (That night, before going to bed, I had prayed to El Morya for spiritual protection.) Entering my house, I saw my mom, dad and Aunt Katy talking with one another in the kitchen/living room area. Then I met Theon, who was there with three others. They had come as a protection squad or detail. All four of them were wearing slacks, dress shirts, and white hard hats. Intuitively, I knew the hard hats meant spiritual protection, not some function with construction work.
September 17, 2024. DREAM. Nada-Yolanda was writing a new book on the I Am Self. I was her editor. In our editorial conference, we had gotten as far as Chapter 10. We both were happy and enthusiastic about the project, planning our schedule going forward. On a mundane note, Yolanda remarked that I would prepare the salad for all of our meals, and she would arrange for the rest of the meal; meaning, others would prepare that. I happily agreed.
November 29, 2024. DREAM. Jim Parker paid me a visit upstairs at my home. We had a brief but very pleasant exchange. He appeared to be happy and doing well. Cathie Bird also was present. When Jim left, as he was going down the long staircase in the building, I realized I needed to give him a copy of the November-December issue of our newsletter. So, I went bounding down the stairwell and caught up with him as he exited. I said, “Hang on a minute, Jim. I have your copy of the latest newsletter to give you.” When I hurried back inside to get it, I awoke.
