Being "right" in I AM THAT I AM

Part I

"To him that overcometh, to him will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God" Rev 2:7

The first teaching I am asked to bring to the Guardians in the Sphere of Oneness is the understanding of Being “right.” If you look at your life and how you make decisions—or don’t for some people—you realize that often the hesitation is because you don’t want to make mistakes. In fact, some people are so fearful of making a mistake that they refuse to move forward in life and make decisions. They would rather go with the flow of whatever life brings them. They often tend to draw around themselves very forceful people who are often labeled “controlling” people. These are people who tend to make quick decisions and generally see themselves as being in the right—often believing everything they do is right.

In that regard, it might seem as if they have taken “right” and made it a god unto themselves. Rather than the God in them being right, they—in their lower selves—are often more controlled by their egos, thinking to control "right" than allowing the power of God within them to "be" right. They have sought to go outside of the natural hierarchy of the flow of God Power into matter creation and to man himself. The power of "right" is only obtained through love and for those who cannot love, they seek to control "right," setting their own standards of right versus wrong.

But the good aspect of their ability to make decisions and think they are always right is that they are moving. But what could be seen as forward movement in these people is often not effective in the eyes of the Lord, but stagnant in spiritual growth and movement into the Light of Being I AM. Jesus’ admonishment dictated to John on Patmos was given as a further insight into this fallen consciousness. He said:

“The Amen, the faithful and true witness, the source of God's creation, says this: I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot; I would thou wert cold or hot. So, then, because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth.” Rev 3:14-15

Jesus' condemnation of the city's church for lukewarmness rebukes not their lack of fervor but their lack of effectiveness, because they believed they were right. But in their pride, they did not have the fire of the Lord to bring positive change in themselves or into the earth body. Because their desire was to raise up the ego's right which has its basis in selfishness, rather than the right of Christ which has its basis in the right of the Father.

But the statement also carries a truth to those who are afraid to “be” wrong. The Lord Maha Chohan tells us in his dictation from 1972:

"The statement “Because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of My mouth” is indicative of the urgent need for decisive action on the part of mankind. But when there is present in their worlds that fear which is reminiscent of the unprofitable servant who hid his talent in the earth, it does not allow the flow of strength required for "right" effort which is to be found in the Holy Spirit."

Applying it to today’s consciousness in the people, including the body of God on earth that once comprised past Ascended Master sponsored organizations, Lanello gave a chastisement speaking on the subject of taking up the gift of the violet flame. He said:

"And thus in speaking the seventh [of the] messages to the seven churches, this rebuke falls upon the misuse of the Light of the Seventh Ray. The rebuke is to [those] today who have the gift of the violet flame and yet remain neither hot nor cold. Do you understand, beloved hearts, that the violet flame is the gift of Saint Germain and beloved Jesus? It is a gift of the ages!"

In order for the Master to speak thusly to the Keepers of the Flame, there had to be those who were a part of this organization that not only did not use the gift of the violet flame, but did not believe it was a gift! How could they? Those who did not see the violet flame as a gift in all actuality did not see the Son, Saint Germain, or the Son, Jesus, as representatives of the Living Christ. They had long ago left off following the Father’s direction and "being right” with God in their lives, instead going their own way, believing that their way was the only right. But has it not been said, “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death?“ Prov. 14:12

Continuing from Lanello:

But there be some among the student body who yet wax neither hot nor cold concerning this gift from the magnanimous heart of God—our God who is indeed a consuming fire. Thus you see, when the greatest gifts of all ages are given to the Lightbearers and they take [them] for granted and do not intensify their fervor [or] feel welling up within them the desire to give that gift to others, then comes the rebuke of the Lord God of Hosts, “Thou art neither hot nor cold. Therefore I will spew thee out of my mouth.”

To you to whom is given, to you who have these priceless pearls, I would say, be not found wanting as they were, overindulgent in the knowledge of the law in place of its wisdom, indulgent in psychism as a false mysticism or idolatry as the worship of the many instead of the One. But rather enter into the fullness of the Light of the Seventh Ray and wax hot and let the earth become hot with the all-consuming flame, the violet flame itself.

For various reasons, some have been more than willing to be “right” in the ways of man, and others have been less than willing to take the chance of being right, fearing the end that would surely come when too many wrong decisions were made. But as in all life, there is a middle way. Neither extreme is a part of God Being. And we often find those who are snared in the Luciferian consciousness fall into either of these two categories, as well as those wounded children of the Light who have been slain and crucified for following the “right” action of the Lord.

Being Right through Loving
Outside of these two extremes of the serpentine mind of the antichrist, is a way to “being right” in the mind of God through the mind of Christ. This is not with the fanaticism of the fallen consciousness that places human perfection above the wisdom and love in action, imbued with the power of God in the balanced threefold flame. This is in the balanced understanding that there is and can be right action while still in the physical plane. We do not have to wait until our ascensions or leaving this world to come into right action. We can Be here on earth all that we are Above—in the NOW!

Throughout certain times of my life, I strove for this human perfection, fearing to let others see that which I knew to be imperfect in myself. But not for fear of reprimand, but for fear of exposing that which I knew was unlovable in the truth of Being. In my attachment to wanting and needing human love, I learned that the more perfect my actions, the more love I would receive. So I feared to be not loved by others, reasoning in the immaturity of youth, that “being perfect” meant doing all things right. And when you did things right, you were loved. Hence, if you made a mistake or were not perfect, you were not loved. Over time I saw the flaws in my reasoning, but still remaining attached to wanting that love.

There is not a human being on this planet who has not received some sort of this type of conditioning. No matter how good our lives have been, we have met up with other wounded individuals who have learned “conditional” love themselves and thus do not know how to love unconditionally.

To come to peace with the letting go of the need to be loved unconditionally by those in this world, some measure of wholeness must be obtained through the wisdom of the Christ consciousness, flowing through our beings. We must reach up to the love of the Father-Mother God and seek our fulfillment through them, and not from our earthly representatives who are still caught in imperfect love themselves. But most especially, we must love the Father, our Creator and giver of all life. Then we must find the balance through the Christ consciousness, willing to follow in Christ’s footsteps ourselves and take on the opposition to the Will of the Father through the body of the Mother.

We must turn to the Father again and again, believing in His Word and His wisdom given to us through His Son. Therefore, we must accept that the way to His wisdom is through the gift of His Son, a portion anchored within every son and daughter of God and child of the Light. That portion is the Flame of Life, the Threefold Flame, that gives us the flame of wisdom, the flame of love and the flame of power of the Christ consciousness to make right choices. As we rise in Christ love, in loving the Father, while yet embroiled in the imperfect love of the representatives of Father in this world, we must believe that the Father’s wisdom supersedes all the so-called wise ones of this world.

The Garden of Eden and the Tree of Knowledge

It is through this letting off of the wisdom of the Father, given to us in the allegorical story of the Garden of Eden, that we see the wisdom of the Tree of Knowledge taken inordinately by Eve. By partaking of the Tree of Knowledge before the evolving children of the light had enough attainment to withstand the initiation of the opposition to the Father, Eve and the other children of the light , twin flames to their individualized I AM Presence, began the descent in consciousness. This descent eventually led to the feminine half – represented as Eve – to lose contact with the I AM Presence. To have an opportunity to return to wholeness again as twin flames to I AM, they must be expelled from the Garden of Eden for their own protection and the protection of the Light of the Father. Because anchored in the Garden of Eden was the Tree of Life, the flame of I AM THAT I AM that gives eternal life.

What is not known and not understood about this Tree of Life is who and what was this flame of I AM THAT I AM. The Tree of Life is said to give immortality. But to partake of the tree of good and evil, the partaker will surely die and must be taken away from the Tree of Life if they do so that their mortal self will not have eternal life to continue committing sin, thereby propagating evil for an eternity. Yet the Tree of Life that was in the midst of all the trees and fruit that could be partaken of was not chosen. Rather the twin flames are said to have been tempted by the serpentine mind to taste the fruit of the one tree they were told was not for their use.

Why would the twin flames not have chosen the fruit of the Tree of Life? Why would they have chosen to eat of the tree of knowledge instead? And what are the fruits on the Tree of Life? What initiations must be passed to eat from the Tree of Life? And what is a twin flame? Could there be a deeper understanding to the term "twin flame" and various levels of twins?

These questions and more will be answered in Part II in a more complex in-depth study of our relationship to God and I AM THAT I AM Twin Flame and found in that category.
