Melchizedek/es: Difference between revisions

On June 30, 1978, [[Kuthumi]] announced the forming of an outer oredr of this priesthood:

O sacred fire flame, O flaming ones of the priesthood of the Order of Melchizedek, I am come in the name of the [[World Teachers|World Teacher]]. I come, a fellow servant of the Lord Christ, imbued with the wisdom of a mystical light. It is the light now tenderly burning within the [[secret chambger of the heart|secret chamber of your heart]].  

Let the priesthood, then, come forth, ascended beings of light who carry flames and palms and march two by two as they come before the altar of the L<small>ORD</small> God. They appear to be singularly unconcerned by the great tragedy and tribulation of earthly life, and yet these ones who have chosen the higher way and the higher consciousness contain within themselves such an intensity of light, such a magnitude of the [[Great Central Sun]] within their hearts, that I tell you, beloved ones, that each and every one of you receives an impetus of light from these dedicated servants of the Most High God who serve at inner levels as the ascended brotherhood of Melchizedek.   

Beloved ones, I come to you, then, with a very special announcement. I come to you, then, with the great gift of this priesthood. I come, then, with the translation of a word, of a sacred fire, and of a wisdom. It is the desiring of this inner priesthood to raise up among [[Keepers of the Flame]], devotees of the [[Ancient of Days]], an outer order of this priesthood of Melchizedek. Therefore receive the anointing of the Lord Jesus, who stands with me upon this altar today—the anointing of the heart, precious ones, by the man of sorrows<ref>Isa. 53:3.</ref> who has become the man of joys. The anointing of the heart, beloved ones, is the sacred opening of the potential of that heart to be a sacred fire.  

When you contemplate the depiction of the saints and of the Lord Christ as the blood drips from the heart, understand the translation, that this is the heart of a Christed one dripping with the sacred fire, and the very drops of his blood are for the transmutation of world sin. And so by that body and by that blood repeated again and again and again through the [[Francis of Assisi|brothers and sisters of Assisi]], we would raise up those who would be electrodes of the inner priesthood of Melchizedek.  

Beloved ones, contemplate now the majesty of Melchizedek, priest of Salem, for this beloved ascended master now stands opposite me beneath the [image of the] [[All-Seeing Eye of God]] at the rear of the auditorium. I ask you now to stand and face this most exalted being.  

This indicates, beloved ones, that by the sacred fire of your own heart there is the transmutation of the human descent and the human lineage, and it is replaced by the divine descent of your soul as sons and daughters of the Most High God.  

Therefore, you see, the blessed Melchizedek has come to us, as to the World Teachers, and he has said, “I have a plan. I will come. I will answer the calls of Keepers of the Flame. I will bequeath the momentum of my light of sacred fire, of purity, and I will take upon myself those who would be chelas of the sacred fire.”  

Precious ones, the intensity of the light of this Order of Melchizedek is reserved for those who see in the path of the [[chohan]]s of the seven rays an acceleration. And therefore you must put on the vibrant colors of the mantles of the chohans and then see how they vibrate, see how they begin to rotate and whirl and intensify until you perceive the white-fire core behind every manifestation of the rainbow rays.  

Beloved ones, our Melchizedek, whom you may have known (even as Abraham knew him<ref>Gen. 14:17–20; Heb. 7:1–10.</ref>), is very real, very tangible, and very much a part of this company. Why? Because a standard—a standard as a circle of wholeness—is kept. The standard of obedience to the Law enables the ascended masters to step through the veil through the spoken Word and through your very temples of living light.
