Book 19
The Brothers of the Golden Robe

 

 

It was Christmas Eve, and Maria fell asleep, gazing at the lights twinkling on the Christmas tree, that Maria and her father found in the National Forest. Maria thanked the tree and hugged its branches before her father cut it down to decorate the living room for Christmas. The tree also served as a powerful reminder of the Tree of Life that is our very own Causal Body of Light.

 

As Maria was drifting off to sleep, Archangel Michael appeared in bright apparel. “Listening Angel told me your soul has been attuning to the Lotus Flame decree,” he said.

I call to Kashmir in God's name,
O thousand-petaled lotus flame,
From Kuthumi's dear heart and hand today,
Charge us with Illumination's Ray!

“So I was wondering if you would you like to go to Kashmir, where our Beloved Kuthumi serves?” asked Archangel Michael.

“I would love to,” said Maria, “but it's Christmas Eve, and I was hoping I could see Jesus and wish him a Merry Christmas.”

“You will,” said Archangel Michael. “Jesus serves in Kuthumi's retreat. He happens to be there this time of year. You will be able to wish him and the Brothers of the Golden Robe a very merry Christmas.”

Maria was overjoyed.

“The master Kuthumi's retreat is called the Cathedral of Nature,” said Archangel Michael, “because Kuthumi loves nature so much. When he was Saint Francis, the birds would eat out of his hand, and he even tamed the wolf of Gubbio. Elementals know when someone loves them, just like children.”

 

 

“I love saying the Prayer of Saint Francis,” Maria said.

Lord make me an instrument of thy peace
Where there is hatred let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
And where there is sadness, joy. ”

“O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console.
To be understood as to understand.
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.”

“That is a powerful prayer,” said Archangel Michael. “And it can be life changing for those who truly apply it.”

“I had an interesting dream last night,” said Maria. “It was actually when I was waking up. I heard the words—It's an equilateral triangle. What do you think that means?”

“God was trying to tell you,” said Archangel Michael, “that the retreats of the masters El Morya, Kuthumi and Djwal Kul are positioned in an equilateral triangle. Do you remember when we visited the master Morya in Darjeeling?”

“Yes,” said Maria.

“El Morya works closely with the masters Kuthumi and Djwal Kul,” Archangel Michael explained. “These three ascended adepts were embodied as the three wise men, and they also sponsored the Theosophical Society to help further awareness of the Brotherhood throughout the planet.”

“Why did they use a triangle?” asked Maria.

“The triangle represents the unflinching unity of the divine Trinity,” said Archangel Michael.

“What do you mean?” asked Maria.

“The master Serapis explains that two points in space always create the perfect third. If you look at the map of the Himalayas, the perfect third point between Darjeeling and Kashmir is Shigatse in Tibet, where the master Djwal Kul serves most of the time. He shares a retreat near a ravine not far from the Tibetan retreat of the master Kuthumi, who has been his teacher for many a year.”

“The more I learn about the masters, the more I want to learn math,” said Maria.

“Yes,” said Archangel Michael. “Kuthumi was Pythagoras, who discovered the Pythagorean theorem involving the right angle of triangles. He and his students studied triangles in the mystery school he founded in Crotone, seven hundred years before Christ.”

“So Kuthumi is the master of triangles?” said Maria.

 

 

“Yes,” said Archangel Michael, and triangles on the three-dimensional plane become pyramids—even the pyramid of self.”

“What does that mean?” asked Maria.

“Every soul is anchored in matter through the four lower bodies of fire, air, water and earth,” said Archangel Michael. “As people go through life, the soul by free will can rise up the pyramid of self and merge into one point through the capstone. That is the geometry of the ascension.”

“I understand now, why the Egyptians and so many ancient cultures built pyramids pointing toward the sky,” said Maria.

“Yes, now let me show you the perfect equilateral positioning of these retreats,” said Archangel Michael, as he precipitated a map for her. “If you look at the degrees, it is quite a miracle, how each of these retreats are exactly the same 1108 kilometers away from each other, forming a perfect triangle, even though they all have very different points of longitude and latitude.”

 

 

Maria looked at the map Archangel Michael had precipitated for her.

“That is truly a miracle,” said Maria. “Now can you tell me what the number 1108 means?”

“Yes,” said Archangel Michael. “When you add the digits together, 1+1+0+8=10 you get the power of ten which has a numerological value of one, 1+0. ”

“One!” said Maria with a big smile. “The power of One!”

“Yes,” said Archangel Michael. “Every equilateral triangle holds a circle, that always represents infinity through undivided unity. One is the value of the circle of oneness that links the three retreats together.”

“I love God's math,” said Maria. “It makes perfect sense.”

“And it is cosmically beautiful,” said Archangel Michael. “God really does leave breadcrumbs of truth as loving divine clues for his children to find. He is just waiting for us to figure them out, just like you somehow figured out in your sleep that these three ascended master retreats were equilaterally positioned. ”

“Can you tell me more about the three kings?” asked Maria.

 

 

“Yes,” said Archangel Michael. “The three kings represent the threefold flame in the heart. El Morya was embodied as Melchior, who brought the gift of frankincense to the Christ child. He focuses the blue flame power of God.

“The master Kuthumi was embodied as Caspar, who brought the gift of gold of the Christ consciousness, that is the yellow wisdom ray. The master Djwal Kul was embodied as Balthazar, who brought the gift of myrrh to prepare the Christ child for that sacrifice of love that magnifies the pink plume of divine love.

“Those were the most thoughtful gifts,” said Maria

“The three kings came from this Far East land,” said Archangel Michael. They followed the star of Jesus' Mighty I AM Presence. Jesus assisted them on their journey—even before he was born—through Christ awareness. You can read about the physical and spiritual journey of the three kings in their own words in the book, The Revelation of the Magi, that came from an ancient manuscript.

“Now, the three kings want to assist every key soul that is destined to make their ascension in this life, to perfect the realization of the innate Christ consciousness.”

 

“It is so special for me to learn about this on Christmas eve,” said Maria.

“God's timing is always perfect,” said Archangel Michael, “and so is God's spacial awareness. Time and space are the two parameters of Kal Desh that define the physical plane.”

Archangel Michael continued. “The perfect equilateral positioning of these three retreats is a reminder of the Holy Trinity, just like the perfect equilateral distance between the three stars of Orion's Belt. These stars also represent the threefold flame.”

“What do you mean?” asked Maria.

“If you look at the constellation Orion in the night sky, you will see that the three stars on his belt are perfectly aligned and point to the God Star Sirius,” said Archangel Michael. “The three stars of Orion's belt are called Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka. Alnitak focalizes the power of God. Alnilam focalizes the wisdom of God and Mintaka focalizes the love of God.”

 

 

 

“So what does Sirius represent?” asked Maria.

“Sirius represents the full causal body of all seven rainbow rays of God, as well as the five secret rays of God,” said Archangel Michael.

“I think I understand,” said Maria. “Just like the three plumes of the threefold flame in our hearts connect to our Mighty I AM Presence, so these three stars connect to the God Star Sirius.”

“Yes,” said Archangel Michael. “The threefold flame in the heart actually focalizes the divine energies of the Mighty I AM Presence through the four lower bodies. Likewise, the three stars of Orion's belt focalize the energies of the Great Central Sun of Alpha and Omega through the etheric, mental, emotional and physical planes of our galaxy.”

“It's like God leaves clues everywhere,” said Maria.

“The circle formed by the equilateral triangle always represents the balanced threefold flame.”

 

“What do you mean?” asked Maria.

“You can only precipitate an equilateral triangle in the circle of infinity when the three plumes are balanced,” said Archangel Michael. “When the three plumes come into balance, the threefold flame is the equidistant triangle that activates the pyramid of self and opens the way for the soul's ascension into the light of the Infinite One. That circle of infinity is the oneness of the entire spirit of the Great White Brotherhood.”

“Is that why a balanced threefold flame is a requirement for the ascension?” asked Maria.

Yes,” said Archangel Michael. “To become a permanent atom in the body of God, there must be complete harmonization of love, wisdom and power. Now would you like me to tell you the sign of a balanced threefold flame?”

“Yes,” said Maria. “What is it?”

“It is having a good sense of humor,” said Archangel Michael. “The ascended masters are full of a keen and benevolent sense of humor. The Master Morya once said that a twinkle of mirth is needed on earth. He also said that it is impossible to make progress on the spiritual path without a sense of humor. It is an important qualification that all the masters share. ”

“Especially Lanello,” said Maria with a laugh.

“Yes,” said Archangel Michael with a smile. “Mark Prophet always said, Fun is the Fohat of UNion.”

Maria smiled. “Understanding the equilateral triangle was so much fun! I can't wait to meet Kuthumi and Djwal Kul now. ”

 

 

Maria and Archangel Michael were flying over the beautiful Kashmir region as they approached Srinagar. Maria could see hundreds of white Cashmere goats roaming the mountains to make wool for fancy cashmere sweaters.

“Their wool is so soft,” said Archangel Michael. “It comes from their winter undercoat. The wool is filled with God's light from this part of the world. That is why cashmere is so valuable.”

Maria saw a sparkling blue lake in the Himalayan foothills and a nearby large estate with the most beautiful gardens. There were flowers and lotuses of every color and even flowering tulip fields, between royally trimmed bushes and rows of majestic fountains.

“I never knew there were so many tulip fields in this part of the world,” she said.

“Tulips symbolize love and affection,” said Archangel Michael. “They were originally cultivated in Persia and these ones came from Afghanistan, where they were cherished by Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire. He was the grandfather of Akbar. And do you know who Akbar was?”

“Who?” asked Maria.

“The grandson of Babur,” said Archangel Michael, with a smile. “And also an incarnation of the Master Morya.”

Maria laughed.

 

“This is Dal Lake,” said Archangel Michael. “And these gardens were created by Shah Jahan, who built the Taj Mahal. Shah Jahan was one of the last incarnations of the master Kuthumi.”

“Do you mean that the same Kuthumi who was Saint Francis also built the Taj Mahal?” asked Maria, surprised.

“Yes,” said Archangel Michael. “For his beloved Mumtaz. The masters have many past lives where they learn to perfect different virtues and qualities of God. Saint Francis took a vow of poverty and Shah Jahan was very wealthy. He used that wealth to immortalize great beauty. This shows that God does not look at money to define the value of a person. It's not about whether you are rich or poor It's always about the generosity of heart, and the lessons that must be learned as we give and receive.”

 

 

Archangel Michael pointed to the Cathedral of Nature. “Both Saint Francis and Shah Jahan loved nature,” he said.

There was a spring of pure water behind the temple where pilgrims come to partake of the said healing waters.

“I can see why this is called the Cathedral of Nature,” said Maria. “All of the flowers and mountains and fresh waters are like a place of worship for the soul.”

 

Archangel Michael led Maria inside the Great White Hall where the Brothers of the Golden Robe teach their disciples, under the direction of Jesus and Kuthumi. “Kuthumi is known as the master psychologist,” said Archangel Michael. “The word psyche in Greek means soul. Psychology is the science of the soul.”

“How do we study our psychology?” asked Maria.

“We seek to understand the patterns that lead to problems and mistakes in life, so we can unravel the energy and put it into the violet flame,” said Archangel Michael. “The master Kuthumi likes to say, 'God in me is the doer, and I AM caught up in his doings!'”

“I like that too,” said Maria.

“So do I!” said Archangel Michael.

 

Kuthumi came to greet them. “Welcome to our beloved retreat,” he said. “We are always looking for new recruits, and those who would like to teach the teachings. It was from this retreat that we dictated the book Corona Class Lessons to our beloved messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet, for students in the West. Would you like to learn from the Brothers of the Golden Robe, Maria?”

“I would love to,” said Maria.

“Before you go to sleep, call to me and to the angelic hosts to accompany you here. Then, you can attend our University of the Spirit. In our classes, you will learn new ways to teach people how to study the teachings of the ascended masters, and how to pray and decree from the heart. Our motto here is, 'I have caught the wave of the future! I have seized the torch of my future self and brought it back to the present, which I see is already the past!'”

“Why do you say that?” asked Maria.

“It is a very powerful statement,” explained Kuthumi, “because it makes it so that the unreality of the fallen angels and their dark forces cannot congeal into a physicality that appears real. Those who define their future in God, with God and through God, ultimately rule the Matter plane and collapse the matrix of the fallen ones. The Light is always more powerful than darkness. We are co-creators in that Light and with that Light as Sons and Daughters of God.”

“Always remember that the Light of God never fails and that the Beloved I AM Presence is that Light,” said Archangel Michael.

“We are developing new courses for the golden age, and especially a course on Golden Age Psychology,” said Kuthumi.

“What is the Golden Age Psychology?” asked Maria.

 

 

“It is the study by which the soul can achieve permanent freedom in God,” said Kuthumi. “This includes new and improved ways to gain mastery over the superconscious mind anchored in the etheric body, the conscious mind anchored in the mental body, the subconscious mind anchored in the emotional body and the unconscious mind anchored in the physical body.

“To become an ascended master, one must gain mastery of the four lower bodies and develop a positive mental attitude in each body. This is why I sponsored Napoleon Hill and Helen Collier and the PMA courses.”

“I am very grateful for this opportunity to learn with you,” said Maria. “I promise I will be a good student of the Brothers of the Golden Robe.”

 

 

“You will also learn to teach and balance karma this way,” said the Master.

“There is no faster way to balance karma than to teach the teachings of the ascended masters to others.”

“And to give the violet flame,” Maria added.

“That too,” said Kuthumi, smiling. “Now don't forget to come visit my retreat in Shigatse,Tibet. I keep some incredible artifacts there from ancient civilizations as far back as Lemuria. I also have in my collection a hand-written letter by Jesus when he was a babe in Galilee, and a hand-written letter by Gautama Buddha when he was Prince Siddhartha.

“Where is your retreat?” asked Maria.

“It is just up the ravine from Djwal Kul's retreat. In my Tibetan home, I play the organ—especially for those who are making their transition.”

 

“Can they hear you?” asked Maria.

“Yes,” said Kuthumi. “When I play the organ, souls can hear me from all over the world.”

“I love to hear the organ,” said Maria.

“It is the king of all instruments,” said Kuthumi. “It focuses the harmony and the melody of higher spheres. When I play beautiful hymns, our Father Alpha plays through me, just like he plays the organ in the Great Central Sun to call all of his children home.”

“I look forward to coming home,” said Maria. “I want to make Him happy.”

“Then first, you can teach the teachings and learn from the Brothers of the Golden Robe.”

“I will,” said Maria.

 

“That is a good plan,”said Kuthumi. “We will be most grateful for your service. May I share a special decree with you that I wrote and that will help you resolve your psychology, especially if you give it thirty-three times? It is the byword of our retreat.”

“I would love to hear it,” said Maria.

“It goes like this,” said the Master.

“I AM Light, glowing Light, radiating Light, intensified Light!
God consumes my darkness, transmuting it into Light!
This day I AM a focus of the Central Sun.
Such darkness as has used me,
Is swallowed up by the Mighty River of Light which I AM.
I AM, I AM, I AM Light!
I live, I live, I live in Light.
I AM Light's fullest dimension.
I AM Light's purest intention.
Flooding the world everywhere I move,
Blessing, strengthening and conveying,
The purpose of the Kingdom of Heaven!”

“This decree also invokes the Spirit of Selflessness,” said Archangel Michael. “The Spirit of Selflessness is a cosmic being from the Great Central Sun.”

“Yes,” said Kuthumi. “When you are in his Presence, you become aware that all of your being is the Light of God, that you are God, and that you totally identify with yourself in God. You find that you are not alone, but all one with every other being who is one with God. ”

 

 

“That is so beautiful,” said Maria, as Kuthumi started playing Rêve Angélique by Rubinstein. Maria noticed a small tear rolling down Archangel Michael's cheek.

“Why are you crying?” she asked.

“It is this piece of music,” said Archangel Michael. “It does this to me every time I hear it. Rêve Angélique means an angel's dream. And my dream and the dream of my beloved Faith is to see the Golden Age fully manifest on earth as in heaven. We can hardly wait!”

“I will do my part,” said Maria. “I will help you.”

 

 

“Thank you,” said Archangel Michael, as he wiped the tear, and a smile came back upon his face like a rainbow.

“Shall we go now?” he asked.

“Yes,” said Maria. “But first, we must say good bye.”

The two waved goodbye to Kuthumi, and also to Djwal Kul, who always likes to visit when Kuthumi plays the organ. “Come again soon,” said Djwal Kul, “so I can help you magnify the threefold flame and expand God's aura in God's name!

“I can help you to magnify all of the divine qualities on the twelve lines of the clock by the flame of God's love that is the foundation of every divine virtue.”

“Can you please remind me what they are?” asked Maria.

“With joy,” said Djwal Kul. “I AM God Power. I AM God Love, I AM THAT I AM.

“I AM God Mastery and God Control. I AM THAT I AM. AUM.

“I AM God Obedience now, to Thy Law I vow. I AM THAT I AM.

“God Wisdom Flame I AM!

“AUM—God Harmony! God Gratitude!

“I AM God Justice in full view! God Reality.

“I AM God Vision, God Victory won!”

 

“Those are like the twelve gifts of Christmas,” said Maria.

“They are,” said Djwal Kul, “for the Christ child in you.”

“Merry Christmas to the Christ child in YOU,” said Maria with a smile.

“And Merry Christmas to the Christ child IN YOU,” said Djwal Kul. “Please come again soon!”

“I will,” said Maria.

“We can fly back over Srinagar on our way home if you would like,” said Archangel Michael.

 

 

So the two did just that, and when Maria woke up, it was Christmas morning.
