In the Book of Revelation 3:19, Sananda/Jesus spoke the following to those at the church in Laodicea via his Apostle John who was on the Isle of Patmos: “I rebuke and chastise all those whom 
I love; be zealous, therefore, and repent.” (See the map of the seven churches and Patmos to the right.)
Who is it that you need to rebuke such that he or she may zealously repent? With whom are you now to exercise tough, rather than tender, love? And what is preventing you from doing so?
Please notice that Christ Jesus in the etheric realms in his ascended or seventh body directs his rebuke to those that he loves, not those that he hates. First comes the love of the I Am Self in the person(s) to whom he speaks the word; hence they are in one of the seven churches in what is now Turkey, with each church representing one of our seven chakras or spiritual centers.
So, before you rebuke or chastise someone, first make sure that you love the I Am or God Self in that individual. Then and only then are you to expose their error, to use the sword of truth to cut to the core of the matter that needs transmutation and healing, to reveal the darkness such that it might be transformed into the light of a new day and a new way.
Enlighten Laodicea
In Charles Fillmore’s Metaphysical Bible Dictionary, he writes: “[Laodicea means] justice of the people; judgment of the people. A city in Phrygia, in Asia Minor [modern-day Turkey], about forty miles from Ephesus. There was an assembly of Christians at Laodicea. (Col. 2:1; Rev. 1:11).”
Then Fillmore, whose prior incarnations include Plato the Greek Philosopher and Paul the Apostle, gives the metaphysical interpretation of Laodicea: “A phase of the judgment faculty in the individual, expressing in the personal. It is that phase of judgment which bases its understanding, its decisions, on outer seemings and intellectual reasonings.”
So, in a broad way, we might say that that we are to rebuke those who are judgmental; who think they know it all when in fact they only see things in a mortal, intellectual, surface sort of way; who blame us or others for their problems when in reality that have created their own imbalances, difficulties, illnesses and blindness.
Needless to say, all of us as light workers have those around us who misjudge their own mortal/intellectual musings and soul darkness. We first do our best to show them new and higher ways to see things, but despite all our efforts, they may persist in their self-delusions. That is when we in I Am consciousness wield the sword.
We combine the First Ray of Will and Power with the Seventh Ray of Peace and Love. Via the First Ray, we speak the word and wield the sword. Via the Seventh Ray, we love and hail the Christ in the person as they recover from their soul surgery and begin anew to be who they truly are: beloved, light-filled children of God.
Soul Surgery
Surround yourself in a First Ray blue cylinder of Christ light, inside of which is the white and gold light of the Seventh Ray. Before you, affirm and/or see Archangel Lord Michael of the First Ray of Will and Power. Behind you is Lady Mariel, his First Ray angelic feminine counterpart. To the right of you is El Morya, Chohan of the First Ray. To the left of you is Glo-Ria, El Morya’s twin soul. Feel their combined protection and empowerment of you.
Ask them to guide you in wielding your sword of truth, in speaking the word, in rebuking and chastising the one person in your orbit who now is in the greatest need of your help and service. Ask and receive.
Then speak the word via email, letter, teleconference or in person. Cut to the quick. Say what needs to be said and then pull back. Then re-surround yourself in the blue flame of the First Ray and hold steady.
Give this person sufficient time to change. Judge him or her not on what they say but on what they do — not just on their talk but mostly on their walk. Depending on their response, take the next step in working with and for them with your electric blue scalpel/sword.
One Heart
The next verse after the one from Sananda-Jesus quoted at the start of this blog is: Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any man [or woman] hear my voice and open the door, I will come to him and will sup with him, and he [or she] with me. To him that overcomes I will grant to sit with me on my throne even as I also overcame and have sat down with my Father on his throne.”
Therefore, having wielded the sword and performed spiritual surgery, now rest in the peace and love of Sananda/Jesus and Sol-O-Man/Mary. Sit serenely and securely with them, three golden hearts as one in I Am consciousness. Amen. Thank You, Father-Mother God!
