I sent the reply to David before it was complete. Here are some more examples
(The second one is quite long, but it directly addresses favorite subjects on
this list, such as mediumship, messengership, lineage of messengers, etc):

You say this due to ignorance. More examples:

> I rebuke you for your failure to internalize more of the Word! For I know the potential, and potential never was enough! For all they who have fallen have had grand potential and grandiose ideas, but they have not delivered the blessed babe of the eternal Christ Mass.

> You cannot bypass the divine office of your Holy Christ Self; for in so doing, you will miss the mark and miss the mantle. You cannot wear the mantle of Christ if you do not perform the work of that Christ. The mantle must fit and you must fit it. And the shoes and the staff must also be fitted to you, as you are fitted to these.
> 	Understand, therefore, that many withdraw and shrink from the necessary rebuke, both to the unrighteous and the righteous. Therefore, I am compelled by the Almighty to rebuke each and every one of you. For no matter what the persecution, no matter what the condemnation of the world–speak truth and let truth be your defense! For otherwise you will have no other defender and no defense in the day of judgment.

> 	Down through the centuries we have appointed our Messengers prophets of the law, Teachers of the way of the Christ consciousness and of the Buddhic light.  Others whom we would call unappointed or self-appointed messengers have come forth to blatantly usurp their ministry and their office in hierarchy.  And so there is abroad in the land an enticing spirit, beguiling as the serpent, that is not the true spirit of prophecy.  Nor is it come as the gift of the Holy Spirit;EN2 it is the voice of rebellion and of witchcraft, of vain talkers and deceivers.EN3 These are the crystal-ball gazers, the psychic readers and self-proclaimed messiahs–bewitched and bewitching, coming in the name of the Church yet denying the true Church, coming in the name of the Logos yet their lives a betrayal of true reason and the law.
> 	They are the archdeceivers of mankind.  They would take over the person and the personality of the Ascended Masters and the real Gurus.  Setting themselves up as gurus, they sit in the lotus posture smoking the peace pipe with the false hierarchy, dispensing drugs along with demons, and even training their disciples in the manipulation of sexual energies for heightened sensual gratification.  In their all-consuming lust for power, they teach the way to God through sexual perversion, abuses of the body, and the desecration of the Mother.  And the light they steal from those they ensnare is used to satisfy their mad cravings and to control vast segments of the population through witchcraft, variance, and mortal cursings.
> 	Others are in the business of training “channels” and psychic healers.  They know not the difference between spiritual and psychic energies–the pure and the impure stream.  Thus the gullible they make channels for the energies of the pit, for the diabolical murmurings of familiar spirits and of “wizards that peep and that mutter.”EN4  The false hierarchies and the fallen ones come in many guises, seeking to impress an infant humanity with their sleight of hand, trance and telepathy, their flying saucers and other trappings.
> 	I say woe to those who are adept in the mental manipulations of Matter and astral energies yet have not the Christ–the snake charmers and charlatans who display a phenomenal control of bodily functions yet have not one iota of soul mastery!  As if they had a thing to offer mankind which mankind cannot get directly from their own Christ Self, their own I AM Presence, and the living flame which God has anchored within the heart!
> 	Some of these, deceived and deceiving others, go so far as to say that everyone should be a psychic channel, everyone should develop his psychic powers.  Like the magicians in Pharaoh's court,EN5 they hold up to our Messengers their psychic phenomena and they say, “See, we do the same thing!”  Not so!  Like the fallen ones who, in their attempt to level hierarchy, would make themselves equal with the sons and daughters of God, these psychic channels would cause our Messengers and their work with the living Word to become muddied by the flood of psychic material being released by the false hierarchy.
> 	Let it be so!  They have free will.  As the grass of the field, they have their day; for the wind passeth over them and they are gone, to be remembered no more.EN6 But the day of the true Messengers of hierarchy shall be as the giant redwood marking the cycles of the spiritual-material evolution of the race and as the snow-covered Himalayas outlining the pinnacles of soul attainment.  Thus the prophets have come in every age, and their day is the day of the salvation (self-elevation) of the race of mankind.  And the coming of the Messenger is always the preparing of the way for the coming of a new level of the Christ consciousness.  “Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.”EN7
> 	In every century the Messengers have proclaimed the living truth that should free mankind from age-worn doctrine and dogma.  In this age they have come to prepare the world to receive their own Christ-identity and the I AM Presence “coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”EN8  Their coming marks the hour when all who have realized the oneness of the I AM Presence through the ritual of the ascension should appear to mankind through the exalted vision of the Christ consciousness.  Not only Jesus, but Mary, Saint Germain, Gautama Buddha, Confucius, Mohammed, and all who have attained oneness with the eternal flame of Life through the ritual of the ascension–these shall appear to mankind in the Second Coming once mankind themselves have accepted the law of the I AM Presence and their own identity as Christed ones.
> 	The true Messengers of God receive only the word of the Great White Brotherhood and of the Ascended Masters.  Their communion is not with the dead, nor do they practice necromancy or spiritism or hypnotism or the mesmerism of the mass consciousness.  They are forbidden by cosmic law to allow their chakras to be instruments for the fallen ones, to channel the energies of disembodied souls abiding in the astral realm, or to be the mouthpiece of discarnates or any of the rebellious spirits which comprise the false hierarchy.
> 	This is the age of the testing of the spirits.  Therefore, as John said, “Try the spirits whether they are of God.”EN9 How does one try the spirits?  Blessed ones, you challenge every voice within or without which comes to you in the name of the Lord:
> 	In the name of the living God, my own I AM Presence, and by the flame of Jesus the Christ, I challenge every voice that speaks from within or from without.  And I say, I demand that you show forth your light! I call forth the flame of the Holy Spirit to consume in you all that is less than God's perfection.  I call forth the Elohim and the all-seeing eye of God to expose the truth, to expose the lie, and to strip all mortal consciousness of its mortality.  Let it be replaced here and now with the immortal flame of God-reality.
> 	In the name of the Christ, I call to the Elohim Astrea to encircle the cause and core of every spirit of deception, self-deceived and deceiving.  I call to Archangel Michael to cut me free by the action of the sword of blue lightning from every entity inhabiting the astral plane, from all denizens of the deep.
> 	And I call to Mother Mary and her virgin consciousness to intercede for me in the name of Jesus the Christ, that my soul and my four lower bodies might be preserved as a chalice of purity to receive only the word of Almighty God and his true emissaries.  So let it be done in the name of the I AM THAT I AM!  And let the hosts of the Lord come forth to defend the Word incarnate in the souls of all mankind.
> 	Precious ones moving toward the center of the I AM THAT I AM, the Ascended Masters and representatives of the Great White Brotherhood, whether on this or any system of worlds, will never be offended by this invocation.  Those who are offended, both giving and taking offense, are not of the Christ.  Every emissary of the light is required by law to show forth the credentials of his light to all who demand those credentials.
> 	Therefore, speak with the voice of one who has the authority of the Christ and the commandment of God; and accept the covenant of Jesus given unto his disciples “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.  Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name:  ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” EN10
> 	It is lawful to question the purveyors of the false teachings and those whose lives do not bear the fruits of living truth.  As it is written, “By their fruits ye shall know them.”EN11 And so without hesitation Jesus cursed the barren fig tree, saying, “Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever”;EN12 for the elemental spirit thereof had failed to provide fruit for the souls of mankind.  Thus is the judgment of the Four and Twenty Elders pronounced upon those false hierarchs of the age even as Jesus spoke unto those who proclaimed themselves authorities of the law:  “Woe unto you, lawyers!  for ye have taken away the key of knowledge:  ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.”EN13
> 	Let it be known, then, that sweet water and bitter do not come forth from the same fount. EN14 Likewise, those who have failed to surrender the lesser self unto God, those who have failed to make this sacrifice, are not counted among our emissaries.  They come teaching in their own name instead of in the name of the Ascended Masters.  Instead of giving God the glory, they pursue the vainglory of name and fame for their teaching or their system or their methodology.
> 	These are they who come preaching the kingdom, saying, “Lo here!”  or “Lo there!”  who fail to acknowledge that the kingdom of God is within you.EN15  They make themselves gods before men.  Being themselves idolaters of the lesser self, they receive the idolatry of the lesser selves of their followers while failing to exalt the Higher Self.
> 	And so as the messenger of Jesus instructed John the Revelator who fell down to worship him, “See thou do it not...worship God,”EN16 and as the commandment was given, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me,”EN17 so we say, worship God as the I AM THAT I AM. With all thy heart, with all thy soul, with all thy mind, worship him.EN18
> 	For the act of worship is an action of flow.  It is a flow of energy from your soul that makes an arc with the object of your worship.  It is the energy of devotion.  And therefore if the object of your devotion be any aspect of the lesser self, God's energy in you flows to that self, forming the arc of idolatry.  And one day the idol will come crashing down, broken before your feet; and it will be the arc of your own energy that destroys both the idol and the idolater.
> 	The testing of the Messengers is the testing of the decibels and of the cycling of the energies of infinity through form and consciousness.  Where there is light uncontaminated by the darkness of ego and ego manipulation, where there is a dazzling sun of glory and real contact with hierarchy through the power of the spoken Word, where there is the conveyance of the Christ mind, there stands the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood.
> 	And so the messenger of the covenant shall suddenly come to his temple.EN19 His temple is the heart of man.  He is the Christed one standing at the altar of the sacred fire to read the proclamation of deliverance–the deliverance of the soul into the arms of Almighty God.  And so the Christed one releases the statement of the law even as that statement has been sent forth by the Messengers whom we have chosen and ordained.
> 	In 1876, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky was ordered by the Master Kuthumi and me, then known as the Masters K.H. and M., to write Isis Unveiled. Later she was given the responsibility of imparting The Secret Doctrine to the world.  Commissioned by Jesus the Christ, the Ascended Master Hilarion, and Mother Mary, Mary Baker Eddy was given certain revelations which she set forth in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. Though at times beset with their own preconceptions and the burden of the mass consciousness, these witnesses codified the truth and the law of East and West as the culmination of thousands of years of their souls' distillations of the Spirit.
> 	Such Messengers are not trained in a day or a year or a lifetime.  Embodiment after embodiment, they sit at the feet of the Masters and receive the emanations of their mantle in the power of their word and example.  A number of others who were selected to perform a similar service for hierarchy failed in their initiations through the pride of the intellect and their unwillingness to submit identity totally unto the flame.  They have become thereby totally self-deluded and they continue to draw innocent souls into the chaos of their delusion.
> 	In the 1930s came the twin flames Guy W. Ballard and Edna Ballard imparting the sacred mystery of the law of the I AM, further knowledge of hierarchy, the invocation of the sacred fire, and the path of the ascension.  Representatives tried and true of Saint Germain, they were commissioned to remain the only Messengers of the hierarchy of the Aquarian age until mankind should redeem a certain portion of their karma.
> 	When that cycle was fulfilled, Saint Germain, together with the Darjeeling Council, sponsored Mark and Elizabeth Prophet to carry on the work not only of the Ballards and the I AM movement, but also of Nicholas and Helena Roerich.  The Roerichs set forth the word of Morya destined to reach both the Russian and the American people with the energy and the enlightenment that should deter the red dragonEN20 of World Communism.  And so the Mother flame of Russia and the Mother flame of America converge in spirals of freedom and victory for the sons and daughters of God in both nations and in every nation upon earth.
> 	Hierarchy is no respecter of persons, of politics, or of polemics.  Hierarchy's call knows no barrier.  It cannot be stayed by the iron curtain or by the iron wall that a mechanistic civilization has erected around the children of God.  The beam of our eye is a laser beam; it is the action of the ruby ray.  It goes straight to the heart of the devotee; and no hand and no force and no ideology can stay the will of the Master who sends forth that ray to call the souls of God home.
> 	Let those who reckon otherwise beware.  For I have spoken; and the Lord has said, “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:  it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”EN21
> 	I conclude my letters to chelas on the path with the exhortation of the apostle of the early Church whose office is now filled by the Mother of the Flame:  “Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.  And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.”EN22
> 	When Peter was confronted with the ultimate test of sacrifice, he attempted to remove himself from the fiery core of the Christ, from the center of the flame and of the Mother.  Fleeing Rome to escape martyrdom, he met the Lord Christ along the Appian Way and asked his Master, “Quo vadis?–Where are you going, Lord?”  Jesus answered, “I go to Rome to be crucified again.”  And so Peter accepted his destiny, turned in the way, went back to Rome, and was crucified for his Lord.
> 	To all who are confronted with the temptation to withdraw from the Christ, from the Mother, or from the path of initiation, I say, go back!  Go to Rome–there to be crucified for your Lord, there to lay down the lesser self, that the Christ may appear not only in you, but in the hearts of all mankind.
> 	And the promise of the Second Coming is fulfilled each time you lay down the life of the lesser self that the Christ might take it again and go forth to work his works through you as apostles of the Church Universal and Triumphant, as disciples of Christ, as ministers and teachers, healers and counselors, as servants, scientists, artists, and artisans of Spirit and Matter.
> 	Go forth in the name of God and in the name of Jesus the Christ.  Swiftly, fearlessly, run to greet your divine destiny there at the nexus of the fiery cross where God and man meet in a conflagration of the Holy Spirit that is the essence of living love.
> 	I AM Morya waiting for the knock of the chela at the door of the Darjeeling retreat.
