In the name of Mary the Mother

and her son, Jesus the Christ,

we dedicate this book to Saint Germain,

the Great Teacher of the Aquarian age.

The flame of the Christ consciousness is the one flame that rises as a fountain of light, a tribute to all peoples and all nations who have come to this soil and this continent for the great gathering of the elector that time in history when, by the power of the spoken Word, ascended masters, hierarchies of light, should talk with mankind again and walk with mankind and prepare the way for the Second Coming of the Christed One in the hearts of all mankind .

This is the destiny of America: to set forth that City Foursquare that is the foundation of the new order of the ages, the order of freedom, the order of the Aquarian age. And from that square the pyramid of life does rise. It remains for a people fervent in devotion to the flame to place the capstone on the pyramid of this civilization wrought by man in God and God in man .

INTRODUCTION

From the discovery of this continent in 1492, Americaher culture, her history, and her religionhas been carved out of the lines of a cosmic destiny. Not that any man or any nation can be considered the center of a universebut that the purpose to which that man and that nation are called may affect the destiny of millions of souls in this and other systems of worlds.

As Jesus the Christ was ordained to demonstrate the example of the Christ consciousness which all must bear and as Gautama the Buddha was called to illustrate the path of the Buddha which all must one day become, so America was chosen by the hierarchy of the cosmos known as the Great White Brotherhood to be that nation where the blueprint of the divine mandala of each and every nation would be fulfilled.

Americas place in the destiny of the cosmos comes to the fore under the influence of the hierarchy of Aquarius. It is the place where the Cosmic Virgin enshrines the flame of freedom not in temples made with hands, but upon the altar of the hearts of a people. Drawn from every nation, from every lifewave and evolution, the American people are chosen as the standard-bearers of an agenot by the favoritism of an anthropomorphic God, but by the choice of a free will God-ordained. The elect of the LORD are those who elect to be the instruments of the LORD .

And so America is the Motherland come again. Founded by the Brotherhood on the matrix of the original thirteen of Christ and his apostles, it is the fulfillment of the destinies of the peoples of Lemuria and Atlantis, of ancient Greece and Rome, of the golden ages of China and India, of Egypt and Europe. To America the pilgrims of freedom have marched. Over four centuries they have journeyed to the place prepared in the wilderness for the coming of the Woman clothed with the Sun and the birth of her Divine Manchild.

Jesus and Gautama set the pattern for the mastery of the light of God within the heart and the mind; and they both said, What I have done you can also do. will not rest until they have attained the cosmic consciousness that is the essence of Mother.

The culture, the history, and the religion of America is a phenomenon of the Great White Brotherhood. For by the unseen hand and the very specific guidance of the ascended masters, Americathe heart, the mind, the soul of a worldwas born. America is the place of the rise of the feminine potential of man and woman. It is the place of creativityaspiration and inspiration engendering the rise of the God consciousness in all. It is the place where freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom to assemble provide the foundation for the individual pursuit of cosmic consciousness.

Because that consciousness can be attained only through the disciplines and the initiations of the Christ and the Buddha, because it can be attained only when the soul is truly free to follow the course of its inner destiny, America was founded by the ascended masters as a place secure, protecteda land of abundant resources and opportunity, a land where the forum of the greatest souls of the ages would one day produce the greatest science and the greatest religion of all time and space.

In order for the soul to attain cosmic consciousness, it must become the Mother. Where there is life, where there is joy, where there is self-discipline in creativity, where there is love and freedom, there is the Mother ray activating the soul to self-awareness. There is the Mother ray giving birth to the Christ and the Buddha that is the real identity of every man, woman, and child.

America is an experiment of the Great White Brotherhood. No psychological or astrological predictions determine her fate. There is nothing automatic about the fulfillment of a cosmic destiny. America is simply opportunity, the gift of freedom, like the gift of free will, in the hands and the hearts of a peculiar people. If indeed there is to be a cosmic destiny forged and won on this continent, it will be because this people have made the work of the ages their own.
