Clara Louise/pt: Difference between revisions

Since her ascension, she has given seven dictations through Elizabeth Clare Prophet. In [[Gautama Buddha]]’s annual New Year’s address on January 1, 1973, Clara Louise was present at inner levels throughout the service. Gautama spoke of the return of her youthful appearance in her ascended state and announced that she would present to the Mother of the Flame a torch of illumination to the age:

<blockquote>Some of you may recall one who passed from you some time ago, the first Mother of the Flame who later became the Regent Mother. Well, I want you to know that tonight at inner levels she is with you.... I want you to understand that her body is no longer gray or crooked in any way; her form no longer reflects age, but only the beauty of her earliest youth and maturity. Upon her face there is a glow of hope and sweetness and love....</blockquote>

<blockquote>I want you to know that she still will be with you until this service shall break up. Until you shall leave and depart these doors, she will be with you this night, giving her love and her counsel at inner levels to you, conveying her blessing to you as the first Mother of the Flame. And she shall, ere the night pass, give to the present Mother of the Flame a torch charged with the vital fires from God’s heavenly altar and the conveyance of a vast mission to illuminate the world’s children and produce the blessing of true culture to the age and unto all people everywhere.<ref>Gautama Buddha, “The Torch Is Passed!” {{POWref|26|22|, May 29, 1983}}</ref></blockquote>

The messenger has explained the meaning of the passing of a torch and its significance to each of us:  

<blockquote>The torches must always be passed. One day you will pass a torch. The most important thing to remember about the passing of a torch is that the torch is a flame that burns. It is composed of many, many millions of flames. And each one of those flames is a petal—a petal of light and sacred fire.</blockquote>

<blockquote>As you go into the central sun of your mighty [[I AM Presence]] and form and fashion your torch of life, you will want to be certain, as those who have gone before us are certain, that the torch will contain all that the one who follows you on the Path will need in order to make it all the way Home.</blockquote>

<blockquote>I have mentioned to you that our beloved Mark signed my own copy of ''Climb the Highest Mountain'' with the words “May you win all the way.” It is not enough that we wish victory upon someone, or winning. We want them to win all the way, every step of the way—not just today but to the hour of the ascension.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Every guru is concerned for the blessed chela—that he make it all the way Home, else the Path should be in vain. Therefore, you must be concerned for the chela you do not yet know, for the master you are to become—that even now you are forging a torch that you will one day pass. And when it comes time to pass the torch, there will be no time to say, “Wait a minute, I must create the torch.” The torch must be there and burning.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The torch of Gautama Buddha, Clara Louise and our own beloved [[Lanello]] were there—just seven weeks before his ascension. That very year of 1973, [[Summit University]] opened on a full-time basis—out of that torch. And all who have passed through its halls are free to ratify the will of God and receive one petal of the torch, one petal-flame that becomes a nucleus of their own torch to be passed in the hour of the appointing.<ref>Elizabeth Clare Prophet, October 25, 1981.</ref></blockquote>

== A spiral of victory ==

Clara Louise says of her ascension:

<blockquote>There is a spiral of victory that is anchored in the atmosphere over the place where I made my ascension. And therefore, I shall direct you to that place and that home, that you might ever know when you are in the area of Berkeley that there is a focus that blesses and heals and is sustained for the little ones. And by your application to that focus, you can expand the influence of the Archangel [[Gabriel and Hope]] and of the [[Goddess of Purity]]<ref>The etheric retreat of Archangel Gabriel and Hope is located between Sacramento and Mount Shasta, California. The Goddess of Purity maintains a retreat over the city of San Francisco.</ref> throughout this state, throughout America and the world.<ref>{{IDN}}, p. 176.</ref></blockquote>
