The following information has been graciously provided by
our friend Norma.  It was transmitted to her from Kuthumi;


August 7, 1988  (This transcription came to me early Sunday
morning, after I had a very vivid and active dream state
during the night on "Empowerment".)


                         EMPOWERMENT

Empowerment is the act of reclaiming one's power.  It, by
definition, means to journey to the inner most depths of
one's consciousness and to retrieve the Force that sustains
life, and to reclaim this inheritance.  It can do nothing but
enlighten the individual who seeks and finds it.

The power of enlightenment comes from ancient ceremonies of
the elders of the elite passing down the information and
wisdom of the ages to those who are deemed to be the new
initiates of this truth.  The power of the initiation is the
strengthening of the will power and the belief systems, that
one's own consciousness is in tune with an energy force field
that supports one's human abilities.  When the human psyche
joins forces with this incredible Force that supports all
knowledge and wisdom, then it is through the human that this
Force is able to be put into motion on the manifest plane.

The reason that empowerment is so important for New Age
individuals today, is because the earth is experiencing its
rebirth and proceeding through its own "rite of passage."  It
is in this "coming of age" that the planet will need to be
initialized by the elders.  The awakening of humanity is such
that many souls are in tune with the energy transformation
that the earth is enacting.  The higher vibration energy and
the forces that are being put into action by this frequency
are those which need to be commanded by the initiates and the
elders, to assure that harmony and perfection will result in
this new birthing process.

There must be no room for a birth defect.  This cannot be
allowed for it is not in the cosmic, divine plan of the
universe.  Therefore, the degree to which the 144,000
Spiritual Warriors learn their roles and acquire their powers
will determine the degree of perfection to which the Beloved
Terra will emerge.

Everything must move in harmony and perfection.  All in the
oneness of the spirit must govern the forces that initialize
the new life of the earth.  Only those who are deemed the
strongest and the most worthy in the eyes of the Divine will
emerge to the bottom of the pyramid, to lead the new earth to
its destiny.

Why did I say "bottom" of the pyramid?  It is because the new
leadership that will emerge will be that leadership which
knows how to channel the forces from within the center of the
universe, which is within men and women.  That is where the
power of the future lies.  The elders of all ancient
civilizations all know this to be true.  It is only the
tricksters that deceive, and allow others to believe the true
power is outside of themselves.

The leadership of one or few individuals governing all souls
in a harsh and controlling fashion, is indeed one of the
past.  The true leaders will emulate your Brother, Jesus, who
ruled the masses by becoming one of them and guiding them to
the use of the powers and force themselves.  Bringing forth
the good in all humans, and teaching them to be Masters
themselves, is what the Beloved destined for all of
humankind.  That is each soul's birth right, and that is the
secret to the path that we each are on.

So, therefore, visualize your power at the bottom of the
pyramid, and sit among those who you teach.  That is the real
strength of your tests.  Have no ego, only your heart.  That
will be the measurement of your success.

The 144,000 Spiritual Leaders who will be emerging into the
new decade will all know this unwritten law, and will triumph
in its code.  That is a promise, and that is the truth.  So
Be It!

The date of the August 8, 1988 is that of a test of the
empowerment for the masses.  Presently, there are many more
on the path than those who will "graduate" in the learning of
the Most High.  The energies are such on that date, that one
will be able to tap into a multiplier effect of power to
continue the manifestation of the exponential effect of the
energy.  A true Spiritual Warrior does not even have to know
of that date in the mind, for that soul will automatically
know that each day is a test for the accomplishment of the
honor to be counted among the elite.  Therefore, the true
Spiritual Warriors will all be taking advantage of this high
energy day.  Those who are informed of this date and
experiences, will have the privilege of knowing, on the
conscious level, that this intensified experience will be one
that will serve many rewards in the future.

The saying, "Many are called, but few are chosen" is
beginning to manifest itself in this countdown of the
selection of the souls.  In reality it is a self-selection
process, for the free will within humans is what will
actually make the determination.  We, on the Ascended Masters
level, provide every opportunity for advancement in this
process to all souls on the beloved planet.  It is the souls
who ultimately make the choice for their own destinies.

The number 144,000 is especially significant for it is the
multiplier effect of the twelve.  The number twelve has
always been one of the most significant numbers known to the
earth inhabitants.  You have twelve months in the year, there
are twelve zodiacal signs and twelve houses which represent
the twelve aspects of the human personality.  The pyramid's
multiplier of the three sides of each wall of the triangle
times the four sides of the base of its structure also
contains one of the mysteries of the All.  Then, there is the
significance of the selection of the twelve apostles that
Jesus chose to continue His work on the earth plane, after
His ascension.

It is this latter example that I will focus the remainder of
my instruction today, continuing on with the lesson of
empowerment to the 144,000.  Each of the apostles was
selected because he represented one aspect of the human
psyche that needed to be developed to reach enlightenment.
In order to be one with the spirit, one needs to be in tune
with all twelve sides of the personality that strives to
become united with God.  Peter was the builder, Matthew was
the singer of the songs through his messages, Thomas was the
doubter, etc.  Even Judas played an important role, for if he
had not fulfilled the prophesy and betrayed Jesus, the
scriptures could not have been fulfilled.

The 144,000 Spiritual Warriors who are emerging on the
beloved earth today are each representative of one of those
Apostles' primary energy fields.  The multiplier effect of
12 x 12,000 brings the number to 144,000.  That does not mean
that each soul can only develop 1/12 of the totality of
understanding to reach enlightenment themselves.  What it
does mean is that instead of 12 separate souls doing the work
on the planet, there are now 12,000 souls in each of the
categories that are emerging to fulfill the scriptures in
this passage of time.  Therefore, the original work of the
Great Masters is still unfolding in this drama of time and
space that you know in this third dimension of existence.

They are labeled the Rainbow Warriors, for it is they who
will bring the secrets of the Light energy to the masses upon
the planet.  And it is only this information that will
provide the foundation for the rebirth to be perfect.
Nothing in this universe is sustained without Light.  Nothing
that is known to the earth is manifested without the mastery
of the spectrum of colors and the vibration of the sound.  It
is this information that is once again being revealed to the
souls, so that they may usher in the cries of the infant who
is awaiting the Baptism into the Spirit.  For the Spirit is
one with the Light and all is in the Oneness of God.

I Am Kuthumi, the Father and Teacher of the New Age.  I thank
you for this opportunity to speak through you on this
glorious day of the eve of the exponential.
