Help
us build the City Foursquare
A message from Mother Mary, delivered March 06, 2006
My beloved hearts, I come to speak to you this day of the concept of
the City Foursquare. Some of you are familiar with this concept from
the Bible. But few on Earth have understood the true inner meaning of
this concept or why it was given.
I have told you before that you personally have four
lower bodies. You have the physical body, the emotional body, the
mental body and the identity body. I have explained to you how the light
from your I AM Presence, the light of your God Flame, flows first into
the identity body, then into the mental, then into the emotional and
finally into the lower mind and the physical body.
I have explained to you the need to purify your four lower bodies so
that the light can stream in its pure form, and so that your four lower
bodies contain only images that are in harmony with the laws of God
and that are in alignment with your divine plan for this lifetime and
your entire sojourn on this planet.
I have explained to you that when you do clear your four lower bodies,
you will attain a state in which you are here below all that you are
Above. You are as Above, so below. Your outer life, your four lower
bodies, are a reflection of your divine plan and your true God-given
individuality, that is anchored in your I AM Presence.
My beloved at that moment – when you have cleared your four lower
bodies and when you accept that you are truly a God-free spiritual being
who is only temporarily abiding in this dense material realm –
then you become, on a personal level, the City Foursquare. This means
that all of your four lower bodies are pure and that they are in alignment
with your higher Being and thus reflect the purity and the purpose of
your higher Being.
Life is more than personal growth
In a sense all of the rosaries I have given you, especially the ones
that are focused on your personal growth, have the purpose of taking
you to that point, where you become the City Foursquare. However, the
purpose of life in this realm is not simply personal growth. There comes
a point in the spiritual evolution of a lifestream, where that lifestream
must see beyond its own self. It must come to a greater sense of oneness
with all life. And thus, it must recognize the truth that the only way
to truly raise yourself is to raise all of life.
Thus, it is not the purpose of any spiritual teaching found on this
planet to help individuals raise themselves up and become the City Foursquare,
thereby standing out from the crowd as being more spiritually advanced
than others. The fact is that there are people who have used a valid
spiritual teaching to raise themselves up to that level, only to become
trapped in thinking that they had now reached some ultimate level and
that they were better or more spiritually advanced than others. This
is when the spiritual path can become a trap, and, indeed, many people
have become trapped.
I must tell you that one of the greatest concerns that we of the Ascended
Host have is precisely that there are a number of the students of our
former dispensations who have fallen into this trap of thinking that
they have found the ultimate teaching and that because they have put
forth such a great effort for such a long time they have now reached
some ultimate state. And thus, they just need to keep doing what they
are doing now for the rest of their lives, and then somehow –
magically – they will ascend after this lifetime.
My beloved hearts, this is nothing but an illusion. For if you allow
yourself to think that you have reached some ultimate state while you
are still on Earth, then you simply cannot progress to the ascended
state. You see, my beloved, the ascended state is not some magical place
that you reach by taking a giant leap. The ascended state is first and
foremost a state of consciousness. You reach the ascended state by transcending
your current state of consciousness and by continuing to transcend that
state of consciousness until you go through one more act of transcendence
and suddenly find yourself in the ascended state of consciousness.
So it is essential for a spiritual seeker to realize that as long as
you are in embodiment here on Earth, there is no such thing as an ultimate
level of growth. There can never be a point where you can allow yourself
to think that you have done enough, that you have obtained enough, that
you have reached some ultimate level of mastery.
You see, my beloved, throughout the ages there have been any number
of people who have reached a certain level of mastery, but if they have
then set themselves up as masters and allowed themselves to be worshipped
by their followers as someone who has reached some ultimate state of
mastery – and has no more need to grow – then they have
not only misled themselves but they have also misled their followers.
My beloved hearts, why do you think Jesus stayed with his disciples
for only three years? Because he did not want them to fall into that
trap and because he realized that he himself had more initiations to
go through. And that is why he needed to go through the crucifixion,
the death on the cross and the spiritual resurrection. You see, my beloved,
Jesus had reached a high level of attainment before his crucifixion.
He could perform many miracles. He was only in his thirties, and he
could have remained in Israel for decades, showing great signs and wonders
and gradually attracting more and more people.
Yet had he done so, he would not have gone beyond the level of attainment
he had reached. And therefore, he would not himself have passed the
initiations that he needed to pass in order to fully demonstrate the
timeless path to personal Christhood. And what were the final stages
of that path? It was that Jesus came to the realization that he was
one with the Father and that is why he said, “I and my Father
are one.” And yet he also realized that he was one with all life,
which is why he said, “Inasmuch as yea have done it unto the least
of these my brethren, yea have done it unto me.”
Vertical and horizontal oneness
So you see, my beloved, Jesus demonstrated the vertical oneness with
God above and the horizontal oneness with all of God’s co-creators
here below. The very basis for establishing the City Foursquare is that
each person who is on the path to Christhood establish their inner oneness
with their I AM Presence, so that their God flame can shine through
their four lower bodies without being obstructed by imperfect images
and beliefs or misqualified energies. Yet when you do reach that level
of attainment, you need to now realize that it is not the purpose of
God to raise you up in order to put you on a pedestal to make you seem
better than others.
It is God’s purpose that by you being raised up, you should serve
as the instrument for raising up all life. As Jesus clearly said, “And
I, if I be lifted up from the Earth, will draw all men unto me.”
Thus, God does not simply want to establish the City Foursquare in your
personal being. God wants to establish the City Foursquare on the entire
planet. This requires that the four lower bodies of Mother Earth be
purified and brought into alignment with the divine blueprint for this
planet. The blueprint is stored in the spiritual realm and is ready
to be lowered into the material realm when a sufficient number of people
on Earth establish the City Foursquare on an individual level.
This, my beloved hearts, is why we have talked about oneness during
the last conferences. For truly, God has the power to force the matrix
for the City Foursquare upon this planet and instantly squeeze out anything
that is contrary to that matrix. Yet that would not be in alignment
with God’s own law of free will. And thus, the City Foursquare
can be manifest on this planet only through the free-will choices of
people in embodiment. And yet it is not enough that people raise up
their own consciousness and establish the City Foursquare in their own
beings.
In other words, even if we had ten thousand people who had manifested
their individual Christhood walking around on this planet, this would
not automatically bring the City Foursquare into physical manifestation.
For it is not enough that these people walk around in their Christhood,
being separated from each other. What is needed is that a great number
of them come together and recognize, on the conscious level, who they
are and that they are all part of that same Body of Christ, that same
Body of God on Earth. And thus, they voluntarily align themselves in
the one-pointedness of knowing that they are the forerunners for the
Golden Age of Aquarius that will bring, as its highest potential, the
City Foursquare into manifestation.
My beloved, unless vertical oneness with God becomes horizontal oneness
with all life, the City Foursquare will not be manifest on this planet.
And thus, you see the trap into which so many sincere spiritual seekers
have fallen. They have been trapped into pursuing their individual path
without taking that next step and sincerely striving for oneness with
others who have reached that same level of attainment.
An essential requirement for the ascension
You see, my beloved, in order to establish that oneness, you have to
be willing to lay down, not your life but your spiritual attainment –
even your Christhood – to lay it down for the growth of the whole.
And this, my beloved, is the one essential, inescapable condition that
separates those who are still on the path of personal growth from those
who have stepped onto the path of oneness, the oneness with God and
the oneness with God in all life.
My beloved, only when you step onto and embrace the path of oneness
will you ascend and become a member of the Ascended Host. Let me say
that again. If the goal of your striving on the spiritual path is to
raise up yourself, you cannot become an ascended master. For even though
the ascension is an individual process, where only one person ascends
at a time, you will not ascend if you see yourself as an individual
who is separated from the whole. You will ascend only when you come
to the point where you are willing to become one with the whole that
is the Body of God in Heaven. This does not mean you lose your individuality.
But it does mean you lose your sense of being a separate individual
who is set apart from the whole.
Thus, my beloved, you cannot and you will not ascend
until you are willing to lay down your Christhood, to lay down all of
your attainment on the spiritual path, so that it is used for the raising
of all life and for the bringing forth of the City Foursquare on planet
Earth. There is not one ascended master in the spiritual realm who has
not gone through this process.
My beloved, I know that in a previous dispensation we told you that
it is possible to ascend when you have balanced 51% of your karma. But
I must tell you that many of our former students have fallen prey to
the misinterpretation that balancing 51% of your karma means that you
will automatically ascend after your current lifetime. My beloved, this
is not so, for we have surely told you, even in that dispensation, that
there are other requirements that must be met before you can make your
ascension. And truly, I have now given you an additional requirement
that can be found by reading between the lines in our previous dispensation,
although not explained as clearly as I have explained it here.
My beloved, we who are ascended masters are not associating ourselves
with the lifestreams on Earth because we want to be revered as being
above and beyond you. We have no desire for you to worship us or put
us up on a pedestal or fear us as if we were some kind of judges. My
beloved hearts, we need nothing from you. We do not need your energy.
We do not need your prayers, decrees or rosaries. We are self-contained,
self-sufficient spiritual beings. We associate ourselves with you only
for one reason, namely that we know that you are part of the same Body
of God with which we have become one. And thus we truly love you as
we love ourselves. And we want to see you raised up and enjoy the abundant
life that we enjoy here in the spiritual realm. Even more than that,
we want to see the abundant life brought to Earth so that all people
can partake of it instead of experiencing life as a struggle, as most
of them currently do.
Thus, my beloved, it has been our hope that those of you who have followed
a previous dispensation of the Great White Brotherhood, or any other
spiritual and religious teaching, could find the teachings we have now
given through these messengers and thereby take that extra step of reconnecting
to the overall vision of what the spiritual path is all about. It is
our hope that you can leave behind your focus on individual growth and
individual attainment and instead focus on the All, focus on the whole,
focus on that River of Life.
The Eternal Flow rosary
It is our hope that you will join that River of Life. And that you will
direct all of your energy and attention, while you are still in physical
embodiment, towards inspiring others to join that River of Life. That
is truly why I gave the River
of Life rosary which is an exceptionally powerful rosary.
I must commend you, all of you, who have been a part of this last vigil
of giving this rosary for 33 days. It has been an immense service to
the planet. And I can assure you that you have started currents in the
collective consciousness, even in the collective unconscious, that cannot
be turned back by any dark force or by the downward pull of the mass
consciousness. Thus, you will see how – gradually – things
begin to change as the ice on a river begins to break up in the spring.
At first, it happens slowly and it seems like nothing is moving. But
slowly you hear the cracks and – suddenly – you begin
to hear the rushing of the ice moving downstream, gradually breaking
up until you start to see open patches of water. And now you know spring
has arrived.
My beloved, as a reward for your service of the last several rosaries
I come to give you another rosary that can reinforce the sense of the
River of Life and the flow of the oneness of all life. This is the Eternal
Flow rosary. It is a short rosary. And although you can
give it more than one time, I encourage you to start out by giving it
only one time per setting—perhaps giving it several times a day.
I desire you to give this rosary slowly, to meditate on the words and
to visualize the figure-eight flow between your I AM Presence and your
lower being and visualize how the light of your I AM Presence, the light
that truly is your God Flame, flows over that figure-eight flow and
illuminates your lower being.
I want you to visualize that when the flow reaches the lowest point
of the figure-eight, it is radiated out into the world around you because
it forms a sun, a sun that is fueled by your God Flame above. And thus,
as that sun is established in your lower being, some of the light from
the sun now flows back up and closes the figure-eight flow. For truly,
it is only when you give selflessly to all life that you multiply your
talents and close the figure-eight flow, so that God can multiply what
you have multiplied and give you more.
So many of you have made great strides on the path, but you have not
closed the figure-eight flow because you have not come to the point
of giving selflessly to all life. Thus, I hope you will visualize this
figure-eight flow and use this rosary to close that figure-eight flow
and truly be here below all that you are Above, which is the key to
becoming more.
My beloved, the River of Life rosary and the Eternal Flow rosary are
part of a series of rosaries that will lead up to our spring
conference in the heart of America. We will give another
rosary for the clearing of the heart. And that is when you will see
our greater purpose and what we are leading up to. That is also when
you will see how important this spring conference is, not only for North
America, but for the entire American continent in terms of creating
the figure-eight flow between north and south.
My beloved, although it may seem as if the New Year’s conference
in Columbia was brought about by the choices made by the people in South
America, I can assure you that it was all by divine design. Truly, they
could have refused to fulfill that design but they did not. They were
in attunement with the greater plan. And so I hope that those of you
who live in North America, will also come into attunement and that you
will therefore see the importance of this spring conference and that
you will consider going out of your way to be there, to be physically
present, and to add your momentum of light to establishing that figure-eight
flow between North and South America.
I can assure you that the major block to this flow is precisely the
hardness of heart that hangs over the North American continent as a
black cloud. That hardness of heart is centered in one particular location,
over the city of Chicago, which is the heart chakra of America. There
is so much hardness of heart focused in that area that if you could
see this from an elevated perspective, you would see that the black
cloud that hangs over the entire continent comes together in a funnel,
and like a tornado it goes down over the greater Chicago area.
This then is the image that you might keep in the back of our mind,
and then visualize how the light of God flows from the North Pole, down
over Canada and enters the Chicago area, flows down into the lower part
of a figure-eight flow over South America, especially Columbia –
that currently has the greatest focus of Light – and then flows
back up, crosses through the Chicago area again and then goes back up
to the North Pole. You can then visualize how this flow of light deposits
such a concentration of light in the Chicago area that it completely
consumes the black funnel cloud over that area and thereby consumes
the entire dark cloud over the North American continent.
Truly, my beloved, the heart chakra is the center of your lower being.
It is where the threefold flame is anchored. It is where the light of
your God Flame first descends and then radiates out through your being.
My beloved hearts, more teaching will be given on this as we release
the next rosary. But I wanted to give you this visualization so that
you can start on it as you give the Eternal Flow rosary. Do not spend
the entire rosary visualizing this, but use it as you see fit when you
have established your own figure-eight flow.
Thus, my beloved, I leave you now, once again, with my immense gratitude
for your service in giving these rosaries. Truly, you have laid up for
yourselves treasures in Heaven. And although I do not want to sound
like a mother talking to children, I must tell you that your reward
for your service will be great.
Thus, I commend you to the peace and the joy of the Divine Mother. Do
not forget, my beloved, that when you establish the figure-eight flow
from Above to below, you should allow yourself to feel the joy of God.
For truly, despite all the darkness found on Earth, God is joy. God
is joyful and we of the Ascended Host are ever joyful. Even when we
work with our unascended brothers and sisters, even when we deal with
the dire conditions that are currently manifesting on Earth, we still
retain an inner sense of joy that can never be fully overshadowed by
any fleeting concern. Thus, my beloved, allow yourself to tap into the
flow of God’s joy that permeates the River of Life. And thus,
I say, “Allow your joy to be full!”
I AM Mary, the Mother of God for planet Earth.
