SACRED RITUAL

for

RECEIVING THE POWER OF THE HOLY GHOST:

The Gifts of the Spirit on Each of the Seven Rays

“Thus I remind you, pray for and enter into the gifts of the Spirit. Pray for them. Enter into them. Pray for them. Enter into them.”

The Beloved Maha Chohan – July 4, 1994

Elisha restoring to life the son of the woman of Shunem (2 Kings 4:18–37)

"These gifts of the Spirit shall then be yours to project as hope to those standing in the shadow of doubt, as healing to those who, lacking wholeness, need a physician, and as the Great Light that shall be seen by all who walk in darkness. Your life will then become a mission on behalf of the Holy Spirit; following in the footsteps of the avatars and elder brothers of the race, you will, by his authority and grace, prepare the way for the great golden age to come into the consciousness of men even as they are transformed and renewed by the Christ mind….”

Beloved ones, I enfold you in my love.

THE LORD MAHA CHOHAN The Representative of the Holy Spirit

Leader: The Holy Spirit is the ingredient of life which is the fire of cosmos, the germinal power in nature; it is the power that beats the heart and infuses every form of life with the essence of the Father-Mother God. Its power is all around you—vital, magnetic, compassionate, and eternal. The Holy Spirit is the omnipresence of God, saturating all space and hallowing that space. Therefore, let the great fire of the Holy Spirit into your heart and intensify the walk with God whereby you put on daily that seamless garment of your immortality. This is a new day! And a new birth! Let us drink lovingly of the Spirit of God and pray for the abiding grace of the Holy Spirit in our lives, always. Together:

Come Holy Spirit, Enlighten Me! (3x)

Ahhh……. Aaaa…….. Eeee….… Iiii.…... Oooo….... Uuuu……. Urrr…….. [chant]

Let the Fiat of the LORD My God be with me! (3x)

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me!

Because He hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives,

And recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

i

Almighty God, the I AM THAT I AM,

The Great Presence of all Life, My own beloved I AM Presence

Individualized from the Great I AM of all Life, My Holy Christ Self and the Holy Christ Self of my beloved twin flame.

From out the Great Sphere of Universal Being:

I call forth God as Heavenly Father—Alpha; And as Divine Mother—Omega.

I call forth the mantle of my Holy Christ Self Containing the highest attainment of my being which I knew with my twin flame in the beginning.

I call forth the power of the Cloven Tongues of Fire, the Holy Spirit and its Representative, The Lord, the Maha Chohan.

Let the Fiat of The Lord the Maha Chohan be with me! (3x)

O Great Lord! O Holy Spirit!

Descend into my temple. Live in me. Breathe in me. Act in me.

Be my sacred fire breath and the pulse of cosmic heart. I AM your life in Mater; You are my life in Spirit.

This is the fusion of the divine alchemy, The alchemy of the marriage of my soul to my Bridegroom:

The attainment of Oneness with the Christ of myself.

O Holy Christ Self, come into my temple! (3x)

O beloved Christ Self, thou the All and the allness of God and of my soul,

Occupy the vessel of my nothingness that, as Above, so below, I might manifest thy glory.

I, yet not I, but Christ who lives in me. (3x)

3

Come Holy Spirit, Enlighten Me! (3x)

Leader:

The Holy Spirit is the very Person of the Godhead who comes to you as the Comforter of Life. He may appear to you in the rushing of a mighty wind, or in the thunder and the lightning, or in the cloven tongues of fire, or as the gentle dove of peace, or in the personages of the servant-sons of God—the Lords of the Seven Rays. Thus when we desire to receive the Holy Spirit, the Maha Chohan explained to us, we can petition the Chohans on each of the seven rays to endow us with the gifts on their particular ray. Keep in mind that these gifts usually don’t come all at once, but a little at a time, and more and more each day as we petition the Holy Spirit and pass our initiations on each of the seven rays. Let us pray for worthiness to receive these Holy Gifts; and that we always use them to glorify God, to witness of His power, and to work to enlarge the Body of Christ on earth. Together:

LORD, Thou art worthy, make me worthy still! (3x)

O sweet intimations

Of the flame of the Holy Spirit, I bow before thy Light, even as I AM thy Light.

I bow before the Great Light of my Mighty I AM Presence I bow before the Great Lord, the Maha Chohan I bow before my Great Guru Padmasambhva

I bow before the blessed presence of the Two Witnesses, Guru Ma and Lanello

I make application to the Seven Lords of the Rays: Masters Morya, Lanto, Paul the Venetian, Serapis,

Hilarion, Nada and Saint Germain

O beloved Hierarchs of the Spirit, I come a supplicant.

Receive me, this day! Anoint me with the Sacred Fire of the Holy Ghost!

And impart to me as I AM ready and able to receive them, The blessed gifts of the Holy Spirit on each of the seven rays.

Flames of the Holy Spirit, blaze forth! (3x)

EL MORYA

THE GIFTS OF THE FIRST RAY: Faith in God’s Will and the Word of Wisdom

Not my will, but Thine be done!

Reading by Leader: In the book of the Old Testament, Daniel, who is to be thrown to the lions for his belief in God, reveals a calm assurance that

comes from his faith in God's protection over him. When we espouse faith that God’s will is always active in our lives, the gift of

faith protects us as we perform the will of God; just as Daniel’s unmovable faith saved him from being killed in the lion’s den.

This faith, endowed by the Holy Spirit, “removes mountains, casts out devils, and allows us to face the most cruel martyrdom

without flinching" But keep in mind that this blessing of the Holy Spirit is not something we independently exercise apart from

God's will. It is not given so we can use it to “have faith” for bringing about our own will, but to be a vessel of God's own

purposes.ii Together:

AUM Christus… [chant]

Come Holy Spirit, live in me!

Come Holy Spirit, enlighten me!

Come Holy Spirit, sanctify me!

Fill me with the Sacred Fire Essence of the first ray! Beloved Mighty I AM Presence, by the word of El Morya: I command my outer consciousness to focus my attention on my own Mighty I AM Presence and the Heart of my Presence. All through today and every day – You take complete, immediate and eternal command and control of my attention, vision and power of qualification! Rivet them upon thee and manage all my outer activities forever! Guide me quickly into all truth and see I always 'face the light' in everyone, everything, everywhere—confidently knowing that naught but light has any power to sustain or expand itself!

iii

I apply to El Morya to receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit of the first ray, the gift of faith in God’s will and the word of wisdom and the flames thereof. And I will guard those flames on the altar of being! I will increase them! I will impart them! I will champion the divine qualities of the first ray—power, faith, protection, direction and goodwill. And therefore, I will stand in the earth—and I will have my God-mastery! And I will radiate out these God-virtues of the first ray to a planet and her people! Let the Fiat of The Lord Morya El be with me! (3x or 9x) We consecrate the receipt of this blessing of the Holy Spirit, the gift of faith in God’s will and the word of wisdom, for its firm anchoring in the throat chakra. In the name of the Lord, the Maha Chohan, it is done!

LANTO

THE GIFTS OF THE SECOND RAY: The Word of Knowledge and Of Wisdom

Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom, and with all thy getting, get understanding.

Reading by Leader: The Apostle James tells us: If any of you lacks wisdom let him ask of God because God promises wisdom and spiritual insight to all who ask.

iv. When you receive the Word of Wisdom, through the agency of the Holy Spirit, you understand the things of the

Spirit and are able to capture the higher wisdom of the Christ Consciousness. The Word of Knowledge brings understanding of the things of this octave–its science, and technology, and religion, and the perception of events and history, and especially, what is acting behind and beneath the surface of appearances. When we have access to the universal Mind of God, answers are provided to solve difficult and often seemingly impossible problems. The Holy Spirit’s Gifts of Wisdom and of Knowledge bestow the ability to see life from God’s perspective and then to direct us to the best course of action to take. Together:

AUM Christus… [chant]

Come Holy Spirit, live in me!

Come Holy Spirit, enlighten me!

Come Holy Spirit, sanctify me!

Fill me with the Sacred Fire Essence of the second ray!

Beloved Mighty I AM Presence, by the word of Lord Lanto: I hold with mighty firmness the Invincible Awareness of my Mighty I AM Presence that by Conscious Command I may forever remain free of any intrusion of destructive human creation. Mighty I AM Presence, take Command of me, my mind, my body, my home, my world. Take Full Charge! Command everything in Obedience to Thee, and pour forth Thy Mighty Energy, Thy Mighty Radiance, to produce Perfection in everything I do! In every thought I have! And in every feeling that passes through me! Charge it with Your Mighty Direction!'

v

I apply to Lord Lanto to receive the gifts of the second ray, the word of knowledge and of wisdom and the flames thereof. And I will guard those flames on the altar of being! I will increase them! I will impart them! I will champion the divine qualities of the second ray—wisdom, understanding, illumination and enlightenment.

And therefore, I will stand in the earth—and I will have my God-mastery! And I will radiate out these God-virtues of the second ray to a planet and her people!

Let the Fiat of The Lord Lanto be with me! (3x or 9x)

We consecrate the receipt of this blessing of the Holy Spirit, the word of knowledge and of wisdom, for its firm anchoring in the crown chakra. In the name of the Lord, the Maha Chohan, it is done!

PAUL THE VENETIAN

THE GIFT OF THE THIRD RAY: The Discerning of Spirits

Learn to love to do well—and ye shall! Reading by Leader: John, Apostle of Jesus tells us: “Believe not every spirit. But try the spirits whether they are of God: Because many false prophets are gone out into the world.”

vi The gift of discernment allows us to ‘distinguish between spirits’ both within ourselves and within

others. Lanello explained that when we come to the end of the age of Pisces, we must have, above all, the gift of discernment of spirits. We must be able to, on a daily basis, interpret right from wrong, truth from error, the Real from the Unreal. And as we mount the spiral that is coiled about the spinal altar, we discover that it is very difficult to distinguish the Real from the Unreal, because the counterfeit is so close to the Real. Only our I AM Presence and our Holy Christ Self will give us this understanding, this clear seeing through the Holy Spirit. Together:

AUM Christus… [chant]

Come Holy Spirit, live in me!

Come Holy Spirit, enlighten me!

Come Holy Spirit, sanctify me!

Fill me with the Sacred Fire Essence of the third ray!

Beloved Mighty I AM Presence, by the word of Paul the Venetian: I call for the transmutation of the blockages to the meshing of my consciousness with the Consciousness of the Christ. Bring my consciousness into congruity with my Christ Self. I call for that Christ Flame to press in and through me. I call for that Christ Consciousness to take over my life, to purge me of all darkness. Let my hands be the Hands of my Christ Self. Let my very skin pulsate with the Frequencies of the Fire of that Transparent One, that Image of Life. Let me be, through and through, the Frequency of the Christ.

vii

I apply to Paul the Venetian for the gift of the Holy Spirit on the third ray, the discerning of spirits and the flame thereof. And I will guard that flame on the altar of being! I will increase it! I will impart it! I will champion the divine qualities of the third ray—love, compassion, creativity, beauty and charity.

And therefore, I will stand in the earth—and I will have my God-mastery! And I will radiate out these God-virtues of the third ray to a planet and her people!

Let the Fiat of The Lord Paul the Venetian be with me! (3x or 9x)

We consecrate the receipt of this blessing of the Holy Spirit, the discerning of spirits, for its firm

anchoring in the heart chakra. In the name of the Lord, the Maha Chohan, it is done!

7

The Light of God never fails, and the beloved Mighty I AM Presence is that Light!

Reading by Leader: Moses said unto the children of Israel: “Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD.” Then the agency of the Holy Spirit performed a miracle, instructing Moses to lift up his rod, and stretch out his hand over the sea, and God divided the waters. Moses gave demonstrations of many other mighty powers; and so did Joshua, after him. And Elijah and Elisha after that. And, of course, our beloved Jesus, did so, as well. The Maha chohan told us: to indeed, seek the gift of miracles and know that the definition of “miracle” is transmutation by the transforming power of the Holy Spirit in all of the seven rays until you reach the culmination, through the violet flame, of the white fire, itself.

viii Together:

AUM Christus… [chant]

Come Holy Spirit, live in me!

Come Holy Spirit, enlighten me!

Come Holy Spirit, sanctify me!

Fill me with the Sacred Fire Essence of the fourth ray!

Beloved Mighty I AM Presence, by the word of Serapis: Take Dominion in this body and my world! Produce Your Perfection and hold Your Dominion! I say to all human appearance: No longer dare you attempt to hold me in your bondage! With my God Presence, I shatter and blast to pieces everything that has been accumulated about me! *I walk forth this hour free from all human limitations!

ix* (3x)

I go to the heart of Serapis Bey to receive the fiery gift of the Holy Spirit of the fourth ray, the working of miracles and the flame thereof—and I will guard that flame on the altar of being! I will increase it! I will impart it! I will champion the divine qualities of the fourth ray—holiness, purity, discipline, order, perfection and joy.

And therefore, I will stand in the earth—and I will have my God-mastery! And I will radiate out these God-virtues of the fourth ray to a planet and her people!

Let the Fiat of The Lord Serapis Bey be with me! (3x or 9x)

We consecrate the receipt of this blessing of the Holy Spirit, the working of miracles for its firm anchoring

in the base-of-the-spine chakra. In the name of the Lord, the Maha Chohan, it is done!

HILARION

THE GIFT OF THE FIFTH RAY: Gifts of Healing

I AM the LORD, thy God, that healeth thee! Reading by Leader: Throughout the entire New Testament, healing was a vital part of Jesus' ministry. The great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at His feet, and He healed them.

x He

taught his disciples to follow in his footsteps; saying, in my name you will cast out demons...you will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.

xi The truly great healers of mankind, who can bring souls to the point of resolution and wholeness by a touch

of the hand or a simple command, “Be thou made whole!” walk in the shadow of their Mighty I AM Presence. They give all glory to God for the works God performs through them, knowing that they are but the instrument of the Holy Spirit.

xii Together:

AUM Christus… [chant]

Come Holy Spirit, live in me! Come Holy Spirit, enlighten me!

Come Holy Spirit, sanctify me!

Fill me with the Sacred Fire Essence of the fifth ray! I AM a son of God. I merge with my Holy Christ Self, and in that merging I AM made whole! Beloved Mighty I AM Presence, by the word of Lord Hilarion: I will see to it that I balance every aspect of my four lower bodies, my mind, my soul, my heart and my being. I will go in the name of the apostles of Christ and in the name of the Lord Christ. And I know that they will be with me. I will become invincible and invulnerable. I will put on the whole armour of God! And therefore: In the name Jesus Christ, I cannot fail! I will not fail! And I will know the fulfillment of all of my mission in this life. I shall rejoice, for I AM the bearer of joy! And none can quench my flame of joy this day or forevermore: For I AM in the heart of Jesus Christ. And Jesus Christ is in the heart of me.

xiii

I make application to Lord Hilarion that I might also qualify to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit of the fifth ray, gifts of healing and the flame thereof—and I will guard that flame on the altar of being! I will increase it! I will impart it! I will champion the divine qualities of the fifth ray—truth, science, healing, vision, wholeness and abundance.

And therefore, I will stand in the earth—and I will have my God-mastery! And I will radiate out these God-virtues of the fifth ray to a planet and her people!

Let the Fiat of The Lord Hilarion be with me! (3x or 9x)

We consecrate the receipt of this blessing of the Holy Spirit, gifts of healing, for its firm anchoring in the

third eye chakra. In the name of the Lord, the Maha Chohan, it is done!

9

NADA

THE GIFTS OF THE SIXTH RAY: Divers Kinds of Tongues and the Interpretation of Tongues

The servant is not greater than his Lord!

Reading by Leader: “And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”

xiv

The supreme gift of speaking with new tongues, explained Sanat Kumara, is given for the crystallization of the Word of God from the Spirit to the Matter cosmos…for the transfer of light from the Creator to the creation. The pure Word of the Mother out of the tongues of the seven rays was spoken by the early Lemurian root races ….This very sound of angelic tongues, resonating upon the ethers and crystallizing in Matter, sustained the culture of the Divine Mother. Together:

AUM Christus… [chant]

Come Holy Spirit, live in me!

Come Holy Spirit, enlighten me!

Come Holy Spirit, sanctify me!

Fill me with the Sacred Fire Essence of the sixth ray!

Beloved Mighty I AM Presence, by the word of Lady Master Nada: Take all my limitations away! Consume them, and let me be, completely, eternally, ONE with You, in Your immortal Flame of Cosmic Love! I say to my flesh body: I AM the Immortal Illumination of this flesh body! I command you to become Self-Luminous with the Immortal Love of the Cosmic Christ. Beloved Mighty I AM Presence, qualify everything that goes out from me each day with that immortal Cosmic Christ Love that compels ever-expanding Perfection and immortal Happiness to flood all life everywhere around me.

xv

I appeal to the heart of Nada to receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit of the sixth ray, divers kinds of tongues and the interpretation of tongues and the flames thereof—and I will guard these flames on the altar of being! I will increase them! I will impart them! I will champion the divine qualities of the sixth ray—peace, brotherhood, service, ministration and the resurrection.

And therefore, I will stand in the earth—and I will have my God-mastery! And I will radiate out these God-virtues of the sixth ray to a planet and her people!

Let the Fiat of The Lord Lady Master Nada be with me! (3x or 9x)

We consecrate the receipt of this blessing of the Holy Spirit, the gifts of divers kinds of tongues and the interpretation of tongues, for its firm anchoring in the solar plexus chakra. In the name of the Lord, the

Maha Chohan, it is done!

10

SAINT GERMAIN

THE GIFTS OF THE SEVENTH RAY: Prophecy and the Working of Miracles

I AM, God in me, is the only All-Powerful Active Presence In my mind, in my body and in my world!

Reading by Leader: Jesus told the apostles: "…when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak."

xvi The gift of prophecy is the enabling by the Holy Spirit to provide light upon past, present, or

future issues. This is the role of the Prophet, a person who lives so close to God that he knows God’s mind and heart and will and intention. In the dawning Age of Aquarius, we are all intended to take on this role. We are intended to walk and talk with our Mighty I AM Presence, filled with the Holy Spirit, going forth to do the greater works that Jesus promised as recorded in the Book of John.

xvii Together:

AUM Christus… [chant]

Come Holy Spirit, live in me!

Come Holy Spirit, enlighten me!

Come Holy Spirit, sanctify me!

Fill me with the Sacred Fire Essence of the seventh ray!

Beloved Mighty I AM Presence, by the word of Saint Germain: Come in and take possession, and don't ever leave me again! Don't ever leave this physical form! Instead, bring all the Cosmic Powers of my Life Stream into my flesh, and blaze Them to the Freedom of Life everywhere.

xviii Mighty I AM Presence, I

command every bit of energy in me and my world, and all I ever contact, be flooded with the Violet Flame now, and raised into the Victory of the Heart Flame of my Beloved Mighty I AM Presence, and the Victory of the Heart Flame of the Ascended Masters' Octave of Life.

xix Mighty I AM Presence and Beloved

Saint Germain, keep me Free from all human problems, and let me be instantly active in the Fulfillment of the Divine Plan.

xx

I go to Lord Saint Germain and to his heart to receive the Holy Spirit of the seventh ray, the gift of prophecy and the working of miracles and the flames thereof—and I will guard those flames on the altar of being! I will increase them! I will impart them! I will champion the divine qualities of the seventh ray—freedom, forgiveness, mercy, justice, transmutation, alchemy and ritual. And therefore, I will stand in the earth. And I will have my God-mastery! And I will radiate out these God-virtues of the seventh ray to a planet and her people! Let the Fiat of The Lord Saint Germain be with me! (3x or 9x)

We consecrate the receipt of this blessing of the Holy Spirit, the gift of prophecy and the working of miracles, for its firm anchoring in the seat-of-the-soul chakra. In the name of the Lord, the Maha Chohan,

it is done!

11

PETITION TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER:

The Gift of the All-Power in Heaven and in Earth Leader: Prior to His ascension Jesus told His apostles, "Before many days you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit; and ye shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; power to live holy lives, power to witness, power to pray, to understand scripture, to minister, and to lay your lives down; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost parts of the earth.

xxi Let us pray for this empowerment, for the Glory of the LORD and his Kingdom come….together:

Of mine own self I can do nothing. It is You, the Father, that dwells in me,

He does the work. (3x)

Beloved Mighty I AM Presence, I ever grow in deeper praise, thanks and gratitude to Thee

for Thy Life, Light, Love and Intelligent Power manifest everywhere in the Universe!

I give Power only to Thee! And I forever withdraw all power I have ever given to outer things;

standing serene in Thy Majestic Presence, Love, Wisdom and Power. xxii

And I stand ready in the earth, ready for Thy empowerment, which I claim in the name of my Mighty I AM Presence,

by the all power of the Universal Christ:

All Power is Given unto Me in Heaven and in Earth! (3x) To bring the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven!

Let the Fiat of the LORD My God be with me! (3x)

In the name of the Trinity, Most Holy, Father, Son and Holy Ghost,

In the name of the Divine Mother:

I AM the Fulfillment of my every call! (3x)

It is done! It is sealed! It is finished! For the mouth of the LORD has spoken it!

Amen.
