The Beloved Goddess of Liberty, July 8, 1990

Claim Your God-Free Being
Desire Your God-Mastery
We Reach Out
The Karmic Board would speak to you this day. Therefore
I AM come, the spokesman,in the fullness of the flame of Mother
Liberty. For I too am the instrument of the Flame, yet as instrument
I AM that Flame. I AM the servant of the Light, yet I have long
[ago] become that Light. And I AM the chalice of the flame of God’s
Liberty, and therefore I AM called the Goddess of Liberty. And it
is so that I AM.
I would, then, that you also would identify with
the stream of Light passing through you. Though you claim yourself
the instrument, you must also claim yourself the Light! Though you
claim yourself the servant of God, so you must claim your God-free
being!
Thus, the Liberty flame that you serve must be
the Liberty flame that you are. And there is no separation between
Almighty God and the Light-emanation of his Son. Therefore let there
not be a separation by a sense of self apart from God; for in this
ye do err and in this ye do fail the initiations that the Lords
of Karma send to you, each one, and send to you repeatedly.
Therefore be seated in our presence. For we would
seal the teachings thus given with the understanding that unless
you identify yourselves as God-free beings and act the part until
you become the part, you will forever be the divided self. Therefore
know the razor’s edge, for many have fallen on the razor’s
edge of this teaching. The teaching is that no man can claim he
is God, and to do so is to follow the betrayal and the fall of Lucifer.
<1>
Thus, beloved, while claiming the Godhead dwelling
bodily in you, <2> even as that divine spark is that God,
you must recognize that the shell, the outer shell of selfhood that
has not yet attained the ascension, must be subordinate to that
Flame and not rise up in its pomp and circumstance and claim a coequality
with that God Flame it has not yet become. But in the very same
instant it must acclaim and claim that God Flame; for you see, if
it does not, it shall truly be overcome by the force of anti-God
[either within or without].
Thus, in claiming that full Godhood, you must know
that you do so from the point of the Inner Christ and the True Self;
and that portion of the unredeemed self must remain humble before
it. Recognizing, then, a part of the self to be in the relative
condition, do not seek to exalt it above the stars of God. Recognizing
the part of self that is God, claim your Godhood. And know the difference.
For the absolute affirmation of the absolute God
[where you are] is necessary to defeat the forces of Evil (with
a capital E) and of the Evil One (with a capital E and a capital
O), for these have turned inside out the absolute power of God that
they have been able to wrest from the children of the Light in their
stance of not being on guard.
Thus, to deal with Absolute Evil in the earth,
you must know and you must acquaint now yourself with Absolute God-Good,
the Mighty I AM Presence. You must walk in your Mighty I AM Presence
and claim that Mighty I AM Presence as here and now! You must have
no thought or fear or trepidation that when the Mighty I AM Presence
descends into your temple you will be overcome. You must not dally
in the woes of the lesser self and in its self-pity in this hour
or in its self-condemnation as you see the sun and the moon in polarity.
<3> You must recognize the forces of Antichrist who would
defeat the Father-Mother God manifesting within you!
This is the Divine Science of which we speak, the
Divine Science of God whereby you know God and you know God face
to face; and every time you say the word “I AM,” it
is with profound love and reverence. And you may take now the lei
of flowers and toss them about your neck, <4> knowing that
the Inner Guru is able to raise you up, knowing that the Inner Christ
is there, yet knowing that the little one of God, [the soul that
is] the shorn lamb, yet needs the Shepherd, yet needs the Messenger
and the Teacher in embodiment.
It is important to hold this balance, beloved.
For those who are out of balance [in their four lower bodies] and
out of alignment [with their Mighty I AM Presence] go either into
the depths of despair [in their sense] of worthlessness or into
the heights of claiming that they [in their lower self] are God
[in manifestation] long before they have that [Christ] attainment.
This is because of the misunderstanding of the geometry of God.
And I come to lecture you on this subject this
day! For you take as an excuse the remains of your karma, even the
dregs thereof, to declare that God is not where you are; and [as
a result of your declaration,] you have the excuse to claim all
sorts of other problems and [limiting] conditions and [negative]
circumstances. And on the other hand, you will dive into the Divine
Science, claiming the All of God but pasting it onto the human to
put a better face on that human <5> and finally allowing the
human to step forth as God, superior to all other beings.
If you will put this matter to rest, if you will
ponder my words, if you will think on them and apply them daily,
you will continually be affirming:
Lo, the I AM THAT I AM is God in me where I am,
And naught else has any power this day!
Thou the All; I the nothing.
And when you say, “I the nothing,”
[the “I” of which you speak] is the lesser ego. It is
the not-self. It is the debased self, which must surely pass into
the flame day by day, yet not all at once else the opportunity to
overcome the human by the soul should be lost.
Thus, the mantra of Jesus <6> is surely the
key to this process:
Thou the All where I AM THAT I AM.
I the nothing where Thou art.
For I am in Thee, one with the All-in-all!
This affirmation of being will get you off the
line of your indecision, your nondecision, your inability to act
[and] to fulfill [and] to realize who the Word is and what is the
word that is given–to accept it, to make it happen and to
go on.
Shall we longer weary the Messenger with such dictations?
Shall we longer weary the cosmos with the repetition of the human
consciousness? I trust we shall not, beloved. For the Lords of Karma
stand before you, arms folded, saying:
All right, you have piped your tunes. You have
asked and asked and asked again, and we have given. Now, when will
we be able to trust you to maintain [God-Harmony at] the level of
the heart, [at] the level of the Christ, [at] the level of Christ-obedience
to the inner voice and to those around you to whom you must give
obedience in the order of this organization and in the order of
the planet? For some are always above you; some are always beneath
you. Thus, you must give and take [in] the divine order [and in
the human order of hierarchy] and know that through the heart of
Christ is the threading of the needle.
Blessed ones, we must now deliberate and we must
determine what [dispensations] we shall send forth in answer to
your letters <7> and in answer to your calls. And it is time,
therefore, that we must know that we can count on those who ask,
that when they receive they will not be overcome by the Light that
flushes out the Darkness in them [or by the Darkness as it comes
out] and does temporarily put them out of balance.
Recognize the [alchemical] process, as you have
been told. Look for it. Wait for it. Greet it with the cry and the
shout of victory and of the peace-commanding Presence! Roar like
a lion at [your own human creation] and show us that you mean business
and that you are not going to take another year and another round
on the treadmill of the same old human consciousness! I tell you,
if you are not tired of it, we are tired of it! And we shall have
it no more. Just remember, beloved, there is a very, very short
time to meet these challenges.
I will say it again, for it needs saying, though
it has been said during this conference: Desire your God-mastery.
It is lawful as long as you do not raise [up] the human as tyrant,
as long as it is the God Flame that [you raise up to] displace that
human tyrant. So it is lawful to desire [your God-mastery] and to
get it to the glory of God and to determine you will have it each
day and that you will not forever and forever again dip down into
the sorrows of Satan as seeds planted in the folds of your garment
like briers and burrs that cling to your clothing as you pass through
the woods.
May you know, beloved, that this day the Karmic
Board is poised and ready to use any servant of God anywhere on
earth, in any church or out of church, as long as that servant does
glorify God and recognize who is God, who is servant in the Guru-chela
relationship and what is not God in the human self and who is the
demigod of the dweller-on-the-threshold that must be cast down as
the idol that is no more.
We reach out. And if the word [for how we feel]
could be translated into human [terms, for it can only be approximated],
then I would say it and I would confess it: The Lords of Karma are
“desperate” this day to find [in you] those souls who
will not waver at the first winds of their human creation returning
as karma, who will know that all of the vast Teaching [we have given]
and all of the Light [we have sent forth] is to the end that when
you meet [your human creation], you shall defeat it!
Blessed ones, we must have souls who will not be
moved, because if we are to give the Light that is needed for the
turning of an age, we must have those who know that first and foremost
their divine calling is to keep that Light in God-Harmony. And because
some have lost their harmony again since the last dictation on the
subject, I come again. And I come as the Goddess of Liberty. And
I tell you, beloved, there is a responsibility when you place yourselves
in this court and [you] hear our dictations and [then you] go out
and still continue in your old ways.
And now I come, and you understand that when a
Cosmic Being does speak to you, as I have and hold by the grace
of God that office [of Patroness of Liberty] on behalf of America,
[you are accountable to guard the Light and the Teaching in God-Harmony].
For if I had not chosen to manifest my God-Harmony against the hordes
of a universe who assailed me when I was up for that initiation
to be awarded the mantle of a Cosmic Being, [the mantle] of the
Goddess of Liberty, then, beloved ones, I tell you, not one of you
would be sitting here this day!
I had to fight that fight in the aloneness of my
own God-free being to prove that I could wear [the mantle of] a
cosmic momentum of Liberty and keep that flame for the earth and
hold it intact and not allow it to be trampled upon and therefore
not give so much as an extra drop of it to any of those among the
sons and daughters of Liberty who could not bear it.
If I had not passed my test, beloved, Saint Germain
could not have been sponsored [by the Karmic Board] to sponsor America
and bring forth the flame of freedom to found the Aquarian age.
What high hopes are in the hearts of all the Ascended Masters! Yet,
I tell you, this would not have come to pass [had I not passed my
test]. There was a day and date in cosmic history when I and I alone
must pass this test; <8> [there was] no other candidate. And
[I knew, for I had been told by my sponsors, that] upon my victory
should depend what dispensation should come to planet earth.
Blessed ones, do not wait until the test of your
becoming a Cosmic Being is upon you to decide to get disciplined
about this subject. For the day may never, never come unless you
begin today [to pass all your tests <9>] and determine that
you are able to hold [on to] the Light where you are–for the
office [of Keeper of the Flame and chela of the will of God that]
you hold–and to be a being of noncompromise with the human
consciousness.
There is too much of a sense that “we ought
to compromise, we ought to come down from the level of such a high
and holy calling. We ought to be as other people and look normal
and natural, and then the world would accept us.” Well, I
tell you, the world will never accept you as long as you give allegiance
to the Light! <10> And if you want acceptance from the world,
then go out and have the world, beloved. For I tell you, it is a
losing game, and often it is the very affliction of the psychology
of the Lightbearers that [makes them] think they must set aside
the Light and cover it over and hide it under a bushel <11>
so that these fallen ones will come and admire them.
Well, they will not admire you. They will spit
upon you, as they have always done. You are not of them! When will
you discover that? You must separate out. [You must separate yourselves
out from among them!] And you must know that if there be persecution
[of the Lightbearers], there will also be victory when you [the
Lightbearers] stay together. For hanging together is the only way,
for hanging separately makes you ultimately vulnerable. <12>
I tell you, beloved, there is some sort of [an
astral] haze upon [some of] you that makes you think you are not
chelas worthy of the highest initiations or that makes you postpone
into some far distant future the day when you do meet Maitreya.
And then there are others of you who babble like babbling psychic
brooks with all of your taking of information supposedly from [the
Ascended Masters], and you are so deluded and drowned in the astral
plane that Morya has actually instructed the Messenger not to even
comment on it because your identity is so caught up in it that only
you can extricate yourself. Yes, this happens to be true! And I
am sad to say it.
Therefore, to those who have the fiber and to those
who have the will, I say: This day hath the Lord begotten thee!
<13> This day have the Father-Mother God stood in the Great
Central Sun as I speak to you. For they honor the office that I
have, beloved, and they honor the Lords of Karma and they desire
to honor you also.
There must be a profound soul-searching. I believe
that it has been said enough, and I fear lest we will not be allowed
to speak again. Either you determine that you are going to carry
in harmony the Light that you call for, [or] else you will not receive
it. And if you do not receive it, you may lose and lose mightily.
Therefore I have said we are desperate. We should
not be desperate! For there are enough individuals who have heard
our call and our cry who should be here and who should be ready
for me to pass the torch [to them]. After all, it is July 4, 1990.
The day has rolled around again and passed. I AM ready to pass this
torch. And I look. And I look. To whom shall I pass it?
The haze that is upon you is that you think someone
else will be there to do the job while you go your rounds in this
world. Look again, beloved. There is no one else who will ever be
able to do your job. You can fill your place in the universe by
the star of your Causal Body, by the fervor of the Eastern adepts—and
you do not need to make any journeys east or west, north or south
to find them, for the adept is in your heart and the voice of God
is with you—you can fill that space, that vacuum in Cosmos,
with your star, else [that space unoccupied] will remain a black
hole.
There is a space for all, and God gives you that
opportunity until the hour when you no longer desire immortality
or victory and you cease trying. Every day is a day of trying and
succeeding and of the conquest of self. All of you do have heart
for this but [somehow] you allow something, some vibration, some
momentum, some astral substance, some toxicity in the body and the
brain to depress the fervor of the fire of God [within you].
This planetary pollution that affects the children
of the Light and makes you less than the proud bearers of the cosmic
flame of Liberty will only get worse before it gets better. Therefore
do not count on better days but let the body be purified so that
you are not compromised by the pollutants that come even from the
four planes of Matter.
I AM your Mother and I AM the Mother of all those
who have been exiled, some by their own karma, some by being ostracized
by the fallen angels. And as it is the celebration of the conception,
which many call the birthday, of a nation, <14> you might
say that my dictation is the cosmic spanking that all of America
needs. Yet many of these Americans would do better if they knew
better. How will they know better? They will only know better if
they see the example in you of that cosmic honor flame of a Thomas
Becket or a Thomas More.
Helios and Vesta knew well what they did when they
assigned El Morya to take you in hand. For chelas of the will of
God must be restored to the sense of honor, the honor of God, the
white flame of purity, and never, never compromise that honor before
God or man. Keep your word, beloved.
I dare say that it is those who do know and [who]
do not do better who ought to receive the spanking, and therefore
I AM here speaking to you today while I cannot speak to the whole
of a nation. You must understand that you are the cauldron of sacred
fire of alchemy of Saint Germain, and from that cauldron there must
be the refining of the whole of a nation lest it perish.
May you take your stand for the youth of the world.
May you shore up the mind. May you not forget the level of discipline
that is required.
As the Holy Spirit, the Maha Chohan, could not
deliver to you on Pentecost that which he would have [liked to have]
delivered [because you were not ready to receive it], so I say the
same of you this day! May this day be a day of contemplation of
how you shall emerge from these twelve days, a cycle for every day
of the Cosmic Clock and a dictation for every day. See how you emerge
[out of the old being that was you] into the new being [that is
you], the resurrected self. For it is the one who is born again–not
out of flesh or out of blood but born out of the Spirit of the I
AM THAT I AM <15>—the one who is truly born again who
shall receive the new heaven and the new earth!
I AM the Goddess of Liberty. The Karmic Board remains
in deliberation [as to what dispensations we may grant to the student
body of the Ascended Masters’ chelas worldwide]. The conclusion
of our deliberations will be based on what is your final word [delivered]
to us by midnight tonight.
I seal you in the love of the Cosmic Threefold
Flame of Liberty, which is yours to claim with every breath you
breathe. <16> May you celebrate the mantra of the threefold
flame and live forever as God and no longer as mortals.
This dictation by the Goddess of Liberty was delivered
by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare
Prophet on Sunday, July 8, 1990, during the twelve-day conference
FREEDOM 1990: “A New Heaven and a New Earth” held at
the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. [N.B. Bracketed material
denotes words unspoken yet implicit in the dictation, added by the
Messenger under the Goddess of Liberty’s direction for clarity
in the written word.] Throughout these notes PoW is the abbreviation
for Pearls of Wisdom.
1. Isa. 14:12-17.
2. Col. 2:9.
3. Self-pity is a misqualification of the attribute
of God-Harmony, charted on the 6-o’clock line of the Cosmic
Clock under the hierarchy of Cancer. Self-condemnation is a misqualification
of the attribute of God-Power, charted on the 12-o’clock line
under the hierarchy of Capricorn. On the day of this dictation,
the sun was in Cancer and the moon was full in Capricorn.

6. “Thou the All; I the nothing.” Jesus
once appeared to Catherine of Siena as she was praying and said:
“Do you know, daughter, who you are and who I am? If you knew
these two things, you would be blessed. You are that which is not;
I am He who is. If you have this knowledge in your soul, the enemy
can never deceive you; you will escape all his snares; you will
never consent to anything contrary to my commandments; and without
difficulty you will acquire every grace, every truth, every light.”
Biographer Igino Giordani records that “with that lesson Catherine
became fundamentally learned: she was founded upon a rock; there
were no more shadows. I, nothing; God, All. I, nonbeing; God, Being.”

Church, trans. Thomas J. Tobin (Boston: Daughters of St. Paul, St.
Paul Editions, 1975), pp. 35, 36.
7. The Lords of Karma meet at the Royal Teton Retreat
biannually, at winter and summer solstice, to review petitions from
unascended mankind and to grant dispensations for their assistance.
Traditionally, students of the Ascended Masters write individual
petitions to the Karmic Board on New Year’s Eve and the Fourth
of July, requesting grants of energy, dispensations, and sponsorship
for constructive causes, projects and endeavors. If you missed this
opportunity, you may still write your petition upon receipt of this
Pearl, being certain to resolve to maintain your God-harmony and
to fulfill any task to completion for which you request assistance.
After completing your letter, seal it in an envelope, consecrate
it at your altar and burn it. You may keep a copy in your Bible
for your record and to use in your daily decrees for your stated
goals.
8. The Ascended Masters often draw upon their knowledge
of English usage from past centuries. Words used in an archaic or
obsolete sense, therefore, often appear in Ascended Master dictations.
In this instance, the verb must is being used in the past tense,
which is uncommon in modern vernacular. The Oxford English Dictionary,
however, lists examples of similar usage, common between 1691 and
1894.
