There draweth near unto you the Arch Angel who has charge of all lives that are to be prepared for the New Dispensation: on the Earth are many; in the spirit states belonging to Earth are many; but there will be especially prepared twelve, who will come to the Earth to receive and welcome the Angels accompanying the New Light; there will be prepared one hundred and forty-four, who will especially be aware; and of all who are on the Earth, or in spirit still belonging to the Earth, one hundred and forty-four thousand, approximately ready, will exist in embodied forms to usher in the New Day; these will be upon the Earth when the New Messiah shall come.
The Angel of that Life who beareth testimony of the New Kingdom who, revealing all that has been revealed, also sealeth much from utterance, declares unto you that according to your perception, according to the state in which you receive this knowledge, according to the light that shall come to you as you pass on in the earthly pilgrimage, so will you be aware of the New Dispensation and its approach.
The Angels from the Divine Mother, the Madonnas of the New Dispensation, come to claim their own. As the Life will be dual, so in dual form the manifestation of the parentage of the Messiah will appear (two times two forms); and, because there is double preparation for the new Kingdom, all who are ready to receive and welcome the New Birth will, when that time arrives, be recognized in dual expression; in that perfected state will they be ready for the new kingdom; ready to fulfill the possibility of that which is now being prophesied of and shown.
From the revelations given, ye cannot wonder at the great preparation, while the Earth is being made ready; that all portentous things are hastening on to fulfillment; that culminations must come now; that lives are being made ready and impelled toward the Truth; that the manifestations of angel presence in all the world are made more apparent.
The Pathway Prepared. With all this Divine Portent, with whatever in life illustrates and makes ready, whatever pathway, however lowly, when the soul is ready, that shall be the pathway that prepares the way for the coming Light. Feet that are now weary, will then be strengthened with this knowledge; those who sometimes falter in seeking the ways of Truth will then be made more sure and glad; and the perception of this truth will make more luminous all other truths; so that which now but seems to be true concerning spiritual things and the knowledge of the soul, will be felt and known as Truth in this added light. Because of this knowledge, each step in the attainment of Truth throws light upon the preceding step, and as when one climbs the steps of mathematics, or any other science, the way is made clearer as one advances, and that which one has passed becomes more luminous in the light of each new attainment, so in the steps from one spiritual height to another, even though you do not feel that you can fully follow, even though it is not possible for any to follow these teachings except in the perfection of the soul, much has been made clear. Much of the language and learning of the different schools and Systems of Religious thought in human history, that have obscured revelation instead of revealing it, are now made more transparent; and through the dim shadows that have obscured those past Cycles, you are able to perceive how the light has made itself manifest, how Truth has clearly revealed itself in signs and tokens.
With the double preparation that is in the world today, with all the Kingdoms and Dispensations of the past, hastening to bring their tributes toward the New Light; with the Orient unsealing its treasures, and the Occident receiving them; with the Golden Kingdom of beautiful Life being prepared, which shall enshrine and cradle the New Life, it is no wonder that many minds are busy and many feet walk up and down the Earth seeking for the shrine. Some go to Jerusalem, there to restore the ancient altars; others travel the world seeking the new shrine in various ways. But not by seeking outwardly do they find the altar in any outward shrine; only within can the true altar ever be found.
It maketh for itself an external place, a habitation for the manifestation' of Life not now known. But when and where it shall be, is not so important as that lives shall be made ready, and hearts shall hasten forward to meet the Dawn that is to be when those who are ready can receive it; when those who even now feel the tremblings of this light can be made aware. The Angelic Life which ushers in the New Dispensation knows who are ready, knows what the Light is to be and what the Shadow; knows such hearts and lives as shall be attuned wherever they may be in the world; whether they walk in paths of lowliness or upon heights of human exaltation; still there is nothing that can obscure that which the soul has received.
Such time as Souls are ready; the Dual Life, that awaiteth its expression, unfoldeth itself unto you; and such time as each is ready in that expression and unfoldment, comes the knowledge of the New Messiah; that knowledge comes of preparation. The past shadowed ways of experience are made clear; the diverse windings and wanderings are made straight; there is no deviation from the line of perfect Light, of perfect Truth. It is only the uncertain light which deceives, only that which is still imperfect that overshadows; when the morning is here, when the full glory bursts upon the world, All is clear, All is certain.
Now you behold the twofold line of Light that is being prepared upon the earth; for twofold must be the preparation. Such as are to receive the Messiah, or such as are to establish the lines of descent that will bear the forms unto the world, are being made ready, either on earth or in the spirit states. Therefore when it is said, that the "Divine Mother comes to claim her own," it is because of all this preparation that lives in all parts of the world are being summoned; are put to the test in various ways, and the lines of lowliness and beauty of Soul that are awakened in many obscure places, are lines which lead unto that perfect shrine. Thus are the lives being prepared which are to give birth to each, the masculine and the feminine Messiah; and as those lines are being prepared, so the twofold lines of Souls, reaching over all the Earth, make ready the lives that will then, in this state of conscious existence, recognize the angelic state.
Such are the wonders that are being wrought; such is the meaning of all those mighty powers which unveil themselves upon the Earth today revealing the wonders of the past Twelve Angels Abe Attributes. As the twelve Mighty Angels draw near who accompany the New Messiah unto the Angelic states that border the spirit realm of Earth, we perceive that they bear the names of the essential attributes and Truths of the past Dispensations, and also of those of the future; that the voice, strength and potency of the Divine Life, is symbolized in their names; and that even as the Angel of Harmony ushers in the New Dispensation, so the Divine Attribute, Perfect Love, abideth and broodeth over the Angel. From the past the Angel of the Cycle of Knowledge is bearing on mighty pinions all that has been stored away in the archives of learning on the Earth, but which is now becoming a living light, and comes even to the lowly dwellings of Earth, making ready for the presence of the New Life. The Angel of the Cycle of Power bears that which dominates the physical, and makes it subservient to the spirit; every force of nature, every element that the Earth contains bending before this mighty potency, making ready for the New Life. The Angel that abrogates all needless past lines of law and Wisdom of those ages that were included in the Ramesean Dispensation, by the higher law of Perfect Love, reveals the Strength that is to guide the new nations of the Earth. The Angel of that Knowledge which under the first kingdoms of the Earth, gave the physical laws of life, again reveals the light of Truth concerning the Spiritual laws and potencies. Thus through every stage, these Angels, Ancient and yet New, forever bear on the incoming tide of the New Life all that was valuable. The cumulative waves, one after another, are making ready to sweep over the Earth with the flood tide of the New Day. The Dispensation of Shadow, the receding wave, is still upon the Earth; but already lines of Light are trembling toward you, voices are sounding far and wide, and these Angels stand declaring the New Light and the new presentation of Truth, revealing the New Glory, and making ready for it in your lives, and over all the Earth.
