When the lightbearers of Venus, [[Mercury (the planet)|Mercury]] and other planetary homes heard that he was volunteering to stand for the evolutions of earth, they volunteered to go with him and were accepted. And thus, when Sanat Kumara came to earth, there was a retinue of lightbearers who came with him to establish [[Shamballa]], his retreat on the White Island in the Gobi Sea (which is now the Gobi Desert in China). Those who came with Sanat Kumara were to embody according to a prearranged destiny among the nations of the earth. Their mission was to be the lightbearers who would teach mankind the way of the Trinity, the way of the threefold flame, the way of the sacred fire, and remind them of their origin. They would come, then, to the East and to the West, and they would come to teach mankind the way of the Father and the way of the Mother.

In the West, the lightbearers who incarnate to serve the light are known as the twelve tribes of Israel. In the East, they form the [[mystery school]]s that are in the tradition of the Guru and the chela. In each instance, this body of souls is intended to pass on, generation to generation in an unbroken chain all the way from [[Lemuria]], the true teachings of the religion of the Father and the religion of the Mother.

The recorded history of these lightbearers in the West, the twelve tribes of Israel, begins in the Bible, in Genesis, chapter 12, when God promises to bless Abraham: “I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.”<ref>Gen. 12:2.</ref>

In chapter 15 God says to Abraham (when he was still known as Abram): “Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.” (Gen. 15:5) God then told Abraham to make a sacrifice. He did so, and God told him of a karma that would come upon his seed which was a prophecy of the captivity of the twelve tribes in Egypt.

He did so, and God told him of a karma that would come upon his seed:
 
<blockquote>
And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him. And [the L<small>ORD</small>] said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; and also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. [This is a prophecy of the captivity of the twelve tribes in Egypt.] 
 
And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.<ref>Gen. 15:12–16.</ref>
</blockquote>
 
Sanat Kumara chose Abraham to be the father of the Israelites, to be the one who would receive in his old age, through Sarah, the son Isaac. Isaac would then have the son Jacob; Jacob would give birth to twelve sons, who would become the progenitors of the twelve tribes.  


Sanat Kumara chose Abraham to be the father of the Israelites, to be the one who would receive in his old age, through Sarah, the son Isaac. Isaac would then have the son Jacob; Jacob would give birth to twelve sons, who would become the progenitors of the twelve tribes. Thus, Abraham is the great patriarch of the lightbearers, chosen to bear the seed of [[Alpha]]. These souls came with a specific mission to be a witness unto the true God in the midst of [[idolatry]], in the midst of the great darkness of the Middle East, such as that seen at [[Sodom and Gomorrah]]. They came to illustrate the blessedness of serving God, to receive and preserve the prophecy and the revelations, and above all, to be the channel through whom the Messiah would be born.

Moses was the Great Guru unto the twelve tribes of Israel. We are living in an hour when all of the promises of God through the prophets for the restoration of the memory of the tribes and the restoration of the Promised Land are about to be fulfilled—prophecies concerning the [[transmutation]] of karma couched in the words, “I will remember their sin no more.”<ref>Heb. 8:12.</ref>

Line 67: Line 78:
Joshua divided the conquered territory among the tribes according to God’s direction. The only tribe that did not receive territory was the tribe of the Levites. The Levites led the people in worship, were responsible for teaching God’s Law and performed other religious functions. The twelve tribes formed a loosely knit confederacy bonded together by their religious covenant with God. They were each in charge of their own territory, but in time of crisis they banded together to fight a common enemy.

After Joshua passed on, the tribes were led by judges. The judges were primarily charismatic military leaders raised up by God to defend the people against the encroachments of neighboring nations. During the period of the judges, the Israelites began to worship pagan gods, the gods of materialism, the gods of the [[fallen angel]]s. God punished them for their idolatry and apostasy by allowing other nations to harass and attack them. These invaders seized their land and crops and exacted tribute from them.

During the period of the judges, from about 1200 to 1030 <small>B</small>.<small>C</small>., the Israelites began to worship pagan gods, the gods of materialism, the gods of the [[fallen angel]]s. God punished them for their idolatry and apostasy by allowing other nations to harass and attack them. These invaders seized their land and crops and exacted tribute from them.


When the Israelites repented and obeyed God’s laws, the L<small>ORD</small> empowered the judges to champion their cause, and once again they enjoyed peace. The pattern of disobedience then punishment, repentance then deliverance was repeated over and over again. The leadership of the judges ended when the people demanded of [[Samuel]], the last judge of Israel: “We will have a king over us that we also may be like all the nations.”<ref>1 Sam. 8:5.</ref> They believed their tribal confederacy was not strong enough to ward off the growing threat of Philistine armies.

Judah, like Israel, was guilty of idolatry, apostasy, corruption and moral degeneracy. They had erected altars to a host of foreign gods whom they worshiped alongside the L<small>ORD</small>. The fertility cult’s sacred prostitution was practiced in the Temple at Jerusalem. Some of the people even took part in the pagan practice of human sacrifice, making “their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech.”<ref>Jer. 32:35.</ref>

The L<small>ORD</small>’s prophecy through Jeremiah was fulfilled. The king of Judah rebelled against the Babylonians, and in 597 <small>B</small>.<small>C</small>. the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar besieged Jerusalem and deported the king and leading men of Judah. In 587 <small>B</small>.<small>C</small>., the Babylonians totally destroyed Jerusalem—looting, burning every building including the Temple, and deporting all but a few inhabitants. A third deportation took place in 582 <small>B</small>.<small>C</small>. Although they had been taken from their homeland, the conditions for the exiles were not unfavorable. The Jews became farmers, merchants, traders, soldiers, even government officials, some rising to positions of wealth.

What was left was a tiny remnant of lightbearers, and so, instead of coming into the kingdom of Israel, Jesus was born under the Roman Empire. Immediately facing the persecution of Herod, he and his family had to flee to Egypt.

Jesus came as a lone avatar, and he had to stand against the entire Babylon of Church and the Babylon of State. He stood against the priesthood that had invaded the people of Israel, that had destroyed the real essence of the teaching of Moses and Sanat Kumara. Because they had already lost their true race and had mingled with the peoples of Canaan and of the Fertile Crescent, most of the twelve tribes had compromised their own Christ consciousness given to them by their prophets. Therefore, they could not recognize the Christ in Jesus.<ref>The essence of the original teaching of Moses and Sanat Kumara was kept by the [[Essene communities]], who were only a small minority in the Holy Land. Jesus’ parents were part of this community, which provided the spiritual cradle for Jesus’ incarnation. It is believed by many scholars that the early Christian community grew out of the Essene community.</ref>

Nevertheless, he came, and when he raised up his apostles and gave them his [[mantle]] to go after the lost sheep of the house of Israel (Matt. 10:6), he was sending them to find the lightbearers of the lost tribes, those who had lost their identity, forgotten who they were and were now scattered abroad. He sent them throughout Asia Minor. They went as far as India and Italy. They went throughout the entire known world, searching for the lightbearers.

The genius of the twelve tribes is in every nation. All of the nations are forcefields for the development of the Christ consciousness through the twelve tribes, and each of the nations of the earth is an opportunity for the lightbearers to master a certain initiation of a certain [[chakra]].

We find today that the twelve tribes have been caught up and lost their identity as the tribes of Israel and have identified themselves now within their many nations. They have not realized that they have put on their nationhood to identify in that nation, to set the example of the lightbearer to the people. The Ascended Master [[Saint Patrick]] has come to help us make contact with the lightbearers of all nations, to alert them to the message, to alert them to the teachings of the ascended masters, to bring them together so that they can form the nucleus for the victory and the salvation of earth. Until we make this contact, identify our brotherhood, identify our community, we do not sense our strength.
