The vision of the Church was given to me as I saw beloved [[Jesus the Christ]] in heaven standing at the altar of a mighty cathedral. And I saw assembled by the thousands those whom we call the saints—those souls at the etheric level and above in the ascended octaves who form that part of God which is known as the body of God in heaven. And Jesus revealed to me that it was time for that Church, that conception as a cosmic conception, to be lowered into manifestation. The time had come because the cycles had turned. The time had come because disciples had made themselves ready. | The vision of the Church was given to me as I saw beloved [[Jesus the Christ]] in heaven standing at the altar of a mighty cathedral.

And so Jesus appointed me to inaugurate this Church; and he placed upon me the mantle of the [[Vicar of Christ]], which means simply the representative of Christ. [[Mother Mary]] was the head of the Church when Jesus left. It is the Mother flame that is the center of the Church. And subsequent to that anointing, which took place several years ago, we received the dictation from the Ascended Master [[Pope John XXIII]], who, as the Vicar of Christ, came forth in February of 1974 to announce that it was time for the Church Universal and Triumphant to be formally inaugurated, to have legal status in the world, to have a set of articles and bylaws and a formal board of directors and categories of members and communicants. The dictation in which he outlined this is included in a Keepers of the Flame Lesson. When you arrive at that lesson, you will be able to read it in its entirety. | And so Jesus appointed me to inaugurate this Church; and he placed upon me the mantle of the [[Vicar of Christ]], which means simply the representative of Christ.

He said in this dictation that the Church Universal and Triumphant was to be the feminine aspect of our mandala. It was to be the nucleus and the white-fire core of those devotees who had a more than ordinary desire to be devoted, to become part of the ritual of the true Church, participating in the sacraments to be dictated by beloved Jesus, who would accept a body of tenets, who would bind together and form the cosmic cube. He explained that although [[The Summit Lighthouse]] had been functioning as the Church, as the Father aspect, it was like the white sphere; and the wholeness of Alpha and Omega as the whole sphere would now be divided in twain. Now the Alpha-to-Omega would function in polarity as The Summit Lighthouse, representing the Father of God, and Church Universal and Triumphant, representing the Mother of God. | He said in this dictation that the Church Universal and Triumphant was to be the feminine aspect of our mandala.
