A chalice through which one may behold the stars and the Central Sun. Far better than a crystal ball is the Grail that is the receptacle of God’s Light, the eternal Light I AM. Thou art, if thou wilt be, this eternal Light. The beggar extends a begging bowl—and Christ [extends] the cup of communion, initiation, oneness unto eternal Life. Thus, if thou wouldst receive, if thou wouldst hold the Light, now form the chalice: build from the foundation, raise up a stem of Light, create the base strong—and let the chalice be now the power of Light to focus in the etheric body and in the mind. Let its base and stem be the power of concentrated desire and the foundation of the pyramid of life. Blessed hearts, know, then, that the chalice of thy being can experience daily transformation. Think of Saint Germain. Think of the wonders of transmutation [he possessed], removing the flaws of diamonds and therefore increasing their value and returning them to their astonished owners.1 Now feel his heart as he yearned to find those who would take from the demonstration the message of the diamond heart: the diamond of the self being offered unto the Great Guru—unto I Hercules and Amazonia 5 the God, the Sanat Kumara, Maitreya, Jesus—unto the eternal Christ. The offering, the surrender, the trust—“As I give my life to thee, O God, thou shalt return unto me my life (thy life) purified, now a worthy chalice.” The proffered gift, the offering, the receptacle—this thou must begin [to create]. Thou must understand the resources, the raw materials in the heart of the earth, in thy body, in thy cells, in the divine spark, in free will, in the gift of the Mind of God and the consciousness of Elohim! Elohim! Now understand. Draw from thyself—[from the resources of thy Higher Self, and thy lower self] as the microcosmic universe, even as you draw from Mother Earth—every ingredient for the necessities of life. Fashion the chalice. Test it. Test its ability to withstand pressure, heat, cold, tension, frequency, the sounding of the high note or the low. Understand my meaning and understand it well! For I AM Hercules of the dawn! I stand before you the most physical Elohim you will ever meet! For God has given to me this dispensation of lowering the Light of all Elohim into physical matter, even as Archangel Michael, Prince of the Archangels, is given a certain assignment of the blue ray. Ever with the chelas of the sacred fire, I AM the vessel and I AM a funnel that does transmit to you all of the powers and virtues of the complete complement of Elohim. I come therefore with a message of the Grail. For I AM the Grail. And I AM the transparent Grail. And through me you see the Godhead. And therefore understand the meaning of the Word incarnate in the Spirit universe. I AM the vessel of God. I AM Spirit form. I AM neither a wisp nor a whisper, but I AM in form that is fashioned of the fire of Spirit. And I offer my form, even the form of my Mind, my Body, my Soul, my Spirit—all that I AM in all octaves— as the Grail! And I raise my Grail, my True Self, unto the Most High. And therefore the ritual is engaged of the giving, [the 6 THE CHALICE OF ELOHIM self-emptying in the giving,] and the expectancy of the infilling again [to give again]. I speak of the Grail in a most practical manner. For I come having deliberated with Saint Germain and Kuan Yin, Morya and Lanello, and also [having] delivered to you this day through the Messenger certain important details of the path of overcoming. And we desire the strengthening of thy lifestream—[the] strengthening of [thy] light [life-force], the gathering of the light [sacred fire] of the crystal cord until you feel the electrode of Light* from the base of the spine unto the crown and you know what is the meaning of the stalk of the chalice, the stem that does receive and contain as star-fire light the essence of God. Understand the higher essence that travels through the central nervous system throughout every nerve in the body. This is a pure kind of energy of light, an essence of conscious- ness different from the essence that travels through the blood. And therefore, you will come to understand how the system of the glands, how the system of the nerves and of the blood itself, [the cardiovascular system, each] provides a differing chalice for a different vibration, even as the skeleton becomes a vessel ([both] in the very marrow of the bone and in the bone quality and vibration) of the sound of the universe and the universal sound of Elohim, therefore establishing within you not a single frequency but many frequencies corresponding not only to the seven rays and the secret rays but [also] ultimately [to] the nuances of these rays. The very hairs of your head carry a certain vibration of light that enables you to tune in to a different level of consciousness beyond. Thus, beloved ones, the knowledge of the body and every body part in the physical octave as a chalice for Light and as a function in the total system performing the necessary * the Christ consciousness in the hallowed aura of the Divine Mother I Hercules and Amazonia 7 transmutation, distillation, processing of the food, the light, the air, the prana—all of this, when understood, shows the necessity of understanding how the body does function physically for the purposes of meditation [and] of increasing the capacity and the strength of the ‘Grail [Self’ to chalice the totality of the Christ consciousness]. Observe, then. Observe, my beloved, the intricacies of the workmanship of crystal itself and handmade crystal, the design that is impressed within this substance, and begin to realize that each design in crystal is capable of holding another design, which design, as you know, reflects a certain sound of the Word of Elohim, the Word of creation. Just as your physical crystal chalices do resonate to differing frequencies by their shape, by their design, so I tell you, you have millions of chalices in your four lower bodies. And those who exhibit an abundant grace, [a] multifaceted mastery of the Word, have been creating and sealing and perfecting and renewing those chalices for millions of years, by chronological time, but it is infinity. And in the beginning was God. And in the beginning you were a cell in the Mind of God—already a single chalice, one day to come forth as the objectification of the universal Spirit in form and formlessness. Thus, think not of thousands of years of physical embodiment but think of eternity—past, present, and future (if we may indulge the word) of the development, the evolution, the spiritual gathering unto thyself of eternal Life. And comprehend that every particle of your physical body, your etheric body, the mind and the desire body is a result of the confirmation, the confirmation by you with Elohim of your creation. [All that you are is] your re-creation, and the preservation of an identity [by you with Elohim]. [All that you are is] the force of your love and the willpower to be, the desire for life and the love of integration with cosmos. 8 THE CHALICE OF ELOHIM Point of identity. Point of individuality. Do you see? The sense of integral unity—this selfhood that you are, this divine consciousness passing through you that is the Divine One, that is Elohim—is the source of [your] identity. And you are able to be that integrated self by your free will becoming a part of the moving stream of universal consciousness. Thus, comprehend identity in you because God moves through you and because the part of you that says “I” is the willing soul that confirms that Be-ness. Thus by free will you move as across a giant ribbon flowing and billowing through space and beyond. It is a stream of life, the mighty River of Life—and there you are, one with it in eternal consciousness. Here you are experiencing almost, as it were, a molecule of it, a slice of it, a compartment passing through time and space that lights up on the screen of Matter. And each time you look in the mirror you see the same image, the image God has projected on the screen of this band of Matter that represents a portion of your God-identity.

  • This Generation a Shifter Will Arise, Hidden Amongst the Lost and Lies
    “This generation a Shifter will arise, Hidden amongst the lost and lies. A great many will see The life that could be. The universe will shake; The greatest among us will quake. The towers will fall. The ruled will rule all.” Douglas and Angelia Pershing Prologue Rian growled when a small group of Shifters entered The Council chamber following Navin and Lena. Lena sauntered in, her hips swaying dangerously from side to side. Other than Rian, all eyes in the room were on her. Her long auburn hair was undulating behind her in a tight ponytail. Her green eyes were bright and cold. Her smirk revealed straight white teeth, poised and ready for the kill. “My Lord,” Lena said in her throaty alto. She bowed then, carefully positioning her body in the most flattering way. The new Seer on The Council, a small mousy man with flat brown eyes and little ability to see anything, gulped audibly as he watched Lena. “I am not a feudal lord,” Rian snapped at Lena. “Of course not,” Lena said, rising slowly, allowing the eyes in the room to linger on her lithe body. “You are my god.” Rian’s eyes flicked to her, somehow his copper eyes were both irritated and pleased. He then returned them to the piece of Shifter trash that had entered the room with her. His copper eyes flashed red for a brief moment, appearing more vibrant and cruel than any eyes before. “Navin,” he growled. It was almost as though when Rian ordered the deaths of the Shifter Young nearly 1 thirteen years ago, he had become less than human.

  • Danny the Champion of the World
    Roald Dahl Danny the Champion of the World 1 The Filling-station When I was four months old, my mother died suddenly and my father was left to look after me all by himself. This is how I looked at the time. I had no brothers or sisters. So all through my boyhood, from the age of four months onward, there were just the two of us, my father and me. We lived in an old gipsy caravan behind a filling-station. My father owned the filling-station and the caravan and a small field behind, but that was about all he owned in the world. It was a very small filling-station on a small country road surrounded by fields and woody hills. While I was still a baby, my father washed me and fed me and changed my nappies and did all the millions of other things a mother normally does for her child. That is not an easy task for a man, especially when he has to earn his living at the same time by repairing motor-car engines and serving customers with petrol. But my father didn’t seem to mind. I think that all the love he had felt for my mother when she was alive he now lavished upon me. During my early years, I never had a moment’s unhappiness or illness and here I am on my fifth birthday. I was now a scruffy little boy as you can see, with grease and oil all over me, but that was because I spent all day in the workshop helping my father with the cars.

  • A Comprehensive Mental Health Crisis Plan Presented by Williamsville High School Keepers Club a Chapter of Jared’S Keepers Foundation, Inc
    A Comprehensive Mental Health Crisis Plan Presented by Williamsville High School Keepers Club A chapter of Jared’s Keepers Foundation, Inc We the students at Williamsville High School, in cooperation with the faculty and staff, proudly present to the Williamsville School Board the following proposal to assist and support the growing needs of the students of our district. We have learned many valuable lessons in 2020 that must be addressed for a better future. This plan will ensure better communications in times of tragedy, allow for an aggressive approach to prevention, give better direction to faculty and staff while giving students stability in knowing what to expect, allow needed support in the aftermath and provide equal recognition to all who are lost. This plan focuses on preventing teen self-harming, suicide attempts and suicide completions. Our society has long ignored the mental health of its people that results in suicides, which are the leading cause of death among people ages 9-25, according to the World Health Organization. We have felt for too long that we were immune from this issue for many reasons. However, the recent losses of our peers have shown us we can no longer be silent and must take a stand and change the way we think and act towards mental health. According to the CDC, “Suicide is a critical public health problem in the United States. Despite national, state, and local efforts to reduce suicide, rates continue to increase. A forward-looking effort, built upon new evidence and past accomplishments, is needed to reduce suicide and suicide attempts.” The most common, yet most stigmatized, mental health issue is depression experienced by students due to a failing grade or failure to perform to standards of a sport or activity.
