A Note from the Editors

Meet the Master

When the pupil is ready, the teacher appears.

There is a brotherhood of light—masterful beings who have graduated from earth’s schoolroom. These masters are wayshowers, guiding us on the path home to God. From the heaven-realm, they assist mankind in all fields of human endeavor, helping to raise the consciousness of earth.

Each master is also a teacher in search of a student, desiring to reach from beyond the veil to touch that one for the acceleration of their spiritual evolution. The Meet the Master series seeks to introduce the student to the master.

Meet the Master Saint Germain

Alchemist, diplomat, teacher of masters and men—Saint Germain is a master of freedom who teaches us how to liberate our souls and be free from the bondage of the human condition. The master’s attainment is vast, and yet he prefers to be thought of as simply a holy brother.

Saint Germain is the chohan (lord) of the seventh ray of freedom, hierarch of the Aquarian age and sponsor of the United States of America. Through many lifetimes, he has lived to make men free.

He is the initiator of souls in the science and ritual of alchemy. He teaches the art of transmutation through the violet flame by the power of the spoken Word.

SECTION I

Saint Germain—Master Alchemist

Who Are the Ascended Masters?

The ascended masters are our elder brothers and sisters on the spiritual path. Having balanced their karma and fulfilled their unique mission, they have graduated from earth’s schoolroom and ascended back to God in the ritual known as the ascension.

These masters are a part of a vast brotherhood of spiritual beings and angelic hosts who work with mankind for the betterment of life on earth. The Great White Brotherhood is spoken of in chapter seven of the Book of Revelation as the great multitude of saints “clothed with white robes” who stand before the throne of God. (White refers not to race, but to the white light that is seen in the aura of the saints.)

These enlightened teachers have emerged from all races and nationalities, from all walks of life and all religions. Many are familiar to us, having walked among us throughout the ages. Others are ancient beings of light, unrecorded in human history, whose names have long ago become secondary to the flames they bear. Whatever their origin in the vastness of our Father’s universe, they all share a common light—a light they desire to share with mankind who are seeking the truth they bear.

Among these masters are Gautama Buddha, Maitreya, Jesus Christ, Zarathustra, Moses, Melchizedek, Mother Mary, Saint Francis, Kuan Yin—and unnumbered and unnamed loving hearts, servants of humanity who have returned to the heart of God.

This Brotherhood works with earnest seekers and public servants of every race, religion and walk of life to assist humanity in their forward evolution.

Who Is the Master Saint Germain?

Saint Germain is a master alchemist and teacher of masters and men. He is also known in the heaven-world as a diplomat, expressing the godly qualities of dignity, grace, gentility, poise and true statesmanship. His name comes from the Latin Sanctus Germanus, meaning simply “Holy Brother.”

The Ascended Master Saint Germain

Choices—Past, Present and Future

Saint Germain says: “I am an ascended being, but it has not ever been thus. Not once or twice but for many incarnations I walked the earth as you now do, confined to mortal frame and the limitations of dimensional existence. I was on Lemuria and I was on Atlantis. I have seen civilizations rise and fall. I have seen the undulations of consciousness as mankind have cycled from golden ages to primitive societies. I have seen the choices, and I have seen mankind by wrong choices squander the energies of a hundred thousand years of scientific advancement and even degrees of cosmic consciousness that transcend that which is attained by members of the most advanced religions of the day.

“Yes, I have seen the choices, and I have chosen. By right choices man and woman establish their position in hierarchy. By choosing to be free in the magnificent will of God, I won my freedom from that mortal round of incarnations and justifications of an existence outside the One. I won my freedom by that flame, that keynote of the Aquarian cycle traced by alchemists of old, that purple elixir the saints do hold....

“You are mortal. I am immortal. The only difference between us is that I have chosen to be free, and you have yet to make the choice. We have the same potential, the same resources, the same connection to the One. I have taken mine to forge a God-identity. For long ago, the still small voice within spoke the fiat of Alpha and the living God: ‘Children of the One, forge your God-identity!’

“And in the stillness of the night, I heard the call and I answered, ‘I will!’ And when I said, ‘I will,’ all of cosmos echoed, ‘I will!’ The will to be summons the vastness of the potential of being....

“I am Saint Germain, and I have come to claim your soul and the fires of your heart for the victory of the Aquarian age. I have set the pattern for your soul’s initiation....

“I have a message.... It is a message of freedom, of opportunity to rise to be what in fact you, as the stars, are ordained to be. I will assist you to implement the divine plan of your life. I will come to you, and I will speak within your heart....

“I am on the path of freedom. Take that path, and you will find me there. I am your teacher if you will have me.”[1]

Lessons from Past Lives

Throughout Saint Germain’s incarnations—as ruler, priest, prophet, defender of the Christ, scientist and discoverer—he was engaged in a relentless effort to return the souls of light who came to earth with the Ancient of Days to the worship of their Great God Source.

Ruler of a Golden-Age Civilization

Over fifty thousand years ago, Saint Germain was the ruler of a golden-age civilization in a fertile country where the Sahara Desert now is. As king-emperor, he was a master of the ancient wisdom and of the knowledge of the Matter spheres, and the people looked to him as the standard for their own emerging Godhood. His empire reached a height of beauty, symmetry and perfection unexceeded in the physical octave.

However, as the people of this civilization became more interested in the pleasures of the senses than in the larger creative plan of the Great God Self, a cosmic council instructed the ruler to withdraw from his empire; henceforth their karma would be their guru. The king held a great banquet for his councilors and public servants. His 576 guests each received a crystal goblet filled with an elixir that was “pure electronic essence.”

This elixir was Saint Germain’s gift of soul-protection to them so that when their opportunity would come again in the age of Aquarius to bring back that golden-age civilization, they would remember their God Source, and they would become a sign to all people that God can and shall dwell with his people when they make their minds and hearts and souls a fitting habitation for his Spirit.

During the banquet a cosmic master, identifying himself solely by the word Victory upon his brow, addressed the assembly. He warned the people of the crisis they had brought upon themselves by their faithlessness, rebuked them for their neglect of their Great God Source, and prophesied that the empire would come under the rule of a visiting prince who would be seeking to marry the king’s daughter. The king and his family withdrew seven days later to the golden-etheric-city counterpart of the civilization. The prince arrived the next day and took over without opposition.[2]

High Priest on Atlantis

As high priest of the Violet Flame Temple on the mainland of Atlantis thirteen thousand years ago, Saint Germain sustained by his invocations and his causal body a pillar of fire, a veritable fountain of violet singing flame, which magnetized people from near and far who came to be set free from every binding condition of body, mind and soul. This they achieved by self-effort through the offering of invocations and the practice of seventh-ray rituals to the sacred fire.

Those who officiated at the altar of the violet flame were schooled in the universal priesthood of the Order of Melchizedek at the retreat of Archangel Zadkiel, the Temple of Purification, which stood where the island of Cuba now is. This priesthood combines the perfect religion and the perfect science. It was here that both Saint Germain and Jesus received the anointing, spoken by Zadkiel himself: “Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.”[3]

Prior to the sinking of Atlantis, while Noah was yet building his ark and warning the people of the great Flood to come, Saint Germain was called with a few faithful priests to transport the flame of freedom from the Temple of Purification to a place of safety in the Carpathian foothills in Transylvania. Here they carried on the sacred ritual of expanding the fires of freedom even while mankind’s karma was being exacted by divine decree.

In succeeding embodiments, Saint Germain and his followers, under the guidance of their teacher known as the Great Divine Director, or the Master R., rediscovered the flame and continued to guard the shrine. Later, the Great Divine Director, assisted by his disciple, established a retreat at the site of the flame and founded the House of Rakoczy, the royal house of Hungary.

The Prophet Samuel

In the eleventh century B.C., Saint Germain was embodied as the prophet Samuel. He was an outstanding religious leader in a time of great apostasy, serving as the last of Israel’s judges and the first of her prophets. In those days the judges did not simply arbitrate disputes; they were charismatic leaders who were believed to have direct access to God and who could rally the tribes of Israel against oppressors.

Samuel, by Gustave Doré

Samuel was the messenger of God’s liberation of the seed of Abraham from bondage to the corrupt priests, the sons of Eli, and from the Philistines, who had slaughtered the Israelites in battle. He is traditionally named alongside Moses as a great intercessor. When the nation faced continuing threats from the Philistines, he courageously led the people in a spiritual revival, exhorting them to “return unto the LORD with all your hearts” and to “put away the strange gods.”[4] The people repented and beseeched Samuel not to cease calling upon the LORD to save them. As he was praying and offering sacrifices, a violent thunderstorm was unleashed, allowing the Israelites to overtake their enemies. The Philistines never rose again in the days of Samuel.

The prophet spent the rest of his life administering justice throughout the land. When he grew old, he appointed his sons to be judges over Israel; but they were corrupt, and the people demanded that Samuel give them “a king to judge us like all the nations.”[5] Deeply grieved, he prayed to the LORD and received the direction that he must carry out the mandate of the people. The LORD told him, “They have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.”[6]

Samuel warned the Israelites of the dangers that would befall them through their rulers, but they still clamored for a king. Thus he anointed Saul as their leader and charged him and the people to always obey the voice of the LORD. But when Saul proved to be an unfaithful servant, Samuel pronounced the LORD’s judgment upon him for his disobedience and secretly anointed David as king. When the prophet died, he was buried at Ramah; all of Israel mourned his passing.

Saint Joseph of the Holy Family

Saint Germain was also embodied as Saint Joseph, the father of Jesus and husband of Mary. There are few references to him in the New Testament. The Bible traces his lineage back to David. It also recounts how when the angel of the LORD warned him in a dream that Herod planned to kill Jesus, Joseph heeded the warning and took his family to Egypt, returning after Herod’s death.

Joseph is said to have been a carpenter and is thought to have passed on before Jesus began his public ministry. In Catholic tradition, Saint Joseph is revered as Patron of the Universal Church and his feast is celebrated on March 19.

The ascended master Jesus has said that Saint Joseph taught him much more than carpentry: “He taught me the sacred labor of the alchemy of the Holy Ghost, the changing of the water into wine. Truly I am the son of Joseph, the great miracle alchemist of all time. And truly my works show forth his handiwork and the blessed grace of my mother.”[7]

The Holy Family

Where history has not preserved the record, the ascended masters have from time to time given us glimpses into the life of the Holy Family. One such story was dictated by Mother Mary to Mark Prophet in 1968:

“I recall one morning when beloved Jesus was yet a small lad that he came to me with a very hard piece of wood that he was trying to whittle. He desired that I should persuade Joseph to exchange it for a softer piece, one that would lend itself more easily to molding.

“I sat him on my knee, and I proceeded to explain to him that there was an ingrained quality that of old had been placed within trees making one to possess a harder quality and another a softer quality. I told him that the soft wood would easily mar and that, were he to use it, the little image that he sought to whittle would not endure the knocks and tumbles that might later come to it, whereas a carving made of hard wood would endure more substantially.

“I also told him that the wood enjoyed being shaped by his hands and that the only difference between the soft and the hard wood would be that of a greater use of patience on his part. He brushed back his hair, which had fallen across his eyes, and with great and quick gentleness, planted a kiss upon both of my cheeks. I noticed a trace of a tear in one eye as he dashed away to continue his work of shaping the hard wood.”[8]

Mother Mary has said that Saint Joseph “did father and nourish the Christ Child and therefore set the pace of the age of Pisces.... May all of you who are of the masculine ray in this life remember his example in all of his lifetimes and know that your stature in God can be modeled after this role model of one who dared to defend Woman, who dared to raise up that Manchild and stand as the protector not only of a family but of an entire area of a planet, until that one could fulfill his Christhood.”[9]

Saint Alban, First Martyr of Britain

In the late third century, Saint Germain was embodied as Saint Alban, the first martyr of Britain. Alban lived in England during the persecution of Christians under the Roman emperor Diocletian. He was a pagan who had served in the Roman army and settled in the town of Verulamium, later renamed St. Albans. Alban hid a fugitive Christian priest named Amphibalus, who converted him. When soldiers came to search for him, Alban allowed the priest to escape and disguised himself in the cleric’s garb.

Once his deed was discovered, Alban was scourged and sentenced to death. Legend says that so great a multitude gathered to witness his execution that they could not pass over a narrow bridge that had to be crossed. Alban prayed and the river parted to give passage to the crowd, whereupon his appointed executioner was converted and begged to die in his place. The request was denied, and he was beheaded along with Alban.

Master Teacher of the Neoplatonists

Saint Germain worked from inner planes as the Master Teacher behind the Neoplatonists. He inspired the Greek philosopher Proclus (c. A.D. 410–485), the highly honored head of Plato’s Academy at Athens. Under the master’s tutelage, Proclus based his philosophy upon the principle that there is only one true Reality—the “One,” which is God, or the Godhead, the final goal of all life’s efforts.

Proclus’s writings extended to almost every department of learning, from philosophy and astronomy to mathematics and grammar. He acknowledged that his enlightenment and philosophy came from above, and he believed himself to be one through whom divine revelation reached mankind.

Merlin the Alchemist

In the fifth century, Saint Germain was embodied as Merlin—alchemist, prophet and counselor at the court of King Arthur. In a land splintered by warring chieftains and riven by Saxon invaders, Merlin led Arthur through twelve battles (which were actually twelve initiations) to unite the kingdom of Britain. He worked side by side with the king to establish the sacred fellowship of the Round Table. Under the guidance of Merlin and Arthur, Camelot was a mystery school where the knights and ladies pursued the inner unfoldment of the mysteries of the Holy Grail and a path of personal Christhood.

In some traditions, Merlin is described as a godly sage who studied the stars and whose prophecies were recorded by seventy secretaries. The Prophecies of Merlin, which deals with events extending from Arthur’s time into the distant future, was popular in the Middle Ages.

Roger Bacon, Philosopher and Scientist

Saint Germain was Roger Bacon (1220–1292), philosopher, Franciscan monk, educational reformer and experimental scientist. In an era in which either theology or logic or both dictated the parameters of science, he promoted the experimental method, declared his belief that the world was round, and castigated the scholars and scientists of his day for their narrow-mindedness. “True knowledge stems not from the authority of others, nor from a blind allegiance to antiquated dogmas,”[10] he said. Bacon eventually left his position as a lecturer at the University of Paris and entered the Franciscan Order of Friars Minor.

In his day Bacon was renowned for his exhaustive investigations into alchemy, optics, mathematics and languages. He is viewed as the forerunner of modern science and a prophet of modern technology. He predicted the hot-air balloon, a flying machine, spectacles, the telescope, the microscope, the elevator, and mechanically propelled ships and carriages, and wrote of them as if he had actually seen them.

His scientific and philosophical worldview, his bold attacks on the theologians of his day, and his study of alchemy and astrology led to charges of “heresies and novelties,” for which he was imprisoned for fourteen years by his fellow Franciscans. But to those who followed after him, Bacon was “doctor mirabilis” (“wonderful teacher”), an epithet by which he has been known through the centuries.

Christopher Columbus

Saint Germain was also embodied as Christopher Columbus (1451–1506), discoverer of America. Over two centuries before Columbus sailed, Roger Bacon himself had set the stage for Columbus’ voyage to the New World when he stated in his Opus Majus that “the sea between the end of Spain on the west and the beginning of India on the east is navigable in a very few days if the wind is favorable.”[11] Although the statement was incorrect in that the land to the west of Spain was not India, it was instrumental in Columbus’ discovery. He quoted the passage in a 1498 letter to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella and said that his 1492 voyage had been inspired in part by this visionary statement.

Christopher Columbus

Columbus believed that God had made him to be “the messenger of the new heaven and the new earth of which He spake in the Apocalypse of St. John, after having spoken of it by the mouth of Isaiah.”[12] “In the carrying out of this enterprise of the Indies,” he wrote to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella in 1502, “neither reason nor mathematics nor maps were any use to me: fully accomplished were the words of Isaiah.”[13] He was referring to the prophecy recorded in Isaiah 11:10–12 that the Lord would “recover the remnant of his people ... and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.”

He was certain that he had been divinely selected for his mission. He studied the biblical prophets, writing passages relating to his mission in a book of his own making entitled Las Proficias, or The Prophecies—in its complete form, The Book of Prophecies Concerning the Discovery of the Indies and the Recovery of Jerusalem. Although the point is seldom stressed, it is a fact so rooted in history that even Encyclopaedia Britannica says unequivocally that “Columbus discovered America by prophecy rather than by astronomy.”[14]

Christopher Columbus set forth in his ships to discover a new world. He was magnetized to the location by the flame of freedom in the etheric Temple of Purification over Cuba and by the inner memory of serving in that temple on Atlantis. He studied here between embodiments and also during his embodiments while leaving his body in periods of sleep. The impetus for coming to those islands was the flame of freedom, helping him to chart a new course for a new land.

Francis Bacon—Brightest Star of the English Renaissance

As Francis Bacon (1561–1626), Saint Germain appeared as philosopher, statesman, essayist and literary master. Bacon, who has been called the greatest mind the West ever produced, is known as the father of inductive reasoning and the scientific method, which to a great degree are responsible for the age of technology in which we now live. He foreknew that only applied science could free the masses from human misery and the drudgery of sheer survival in order that they might seek a higher spirituality they once knew.

Francis Bacon

“The Great Instauration” (meaning the great restoration after decay, lapse or dilapidation) was his formula to change “the whole wide world.” He first conceived of the concept as a boy, and when he later crystallized it in his 1607 book by the same name, it launched the English Renaissance.

Over the years Bacon gathered around himself a group of writers who were responsible for almost all of the Elizabethan literature. Some of these were part of a “secret society” he called “The Knights of the Helmet,” which had as its goal the advancement of learning by expanding the English language and creating a new literature written not in Latin but in words that Englishmen could understand. Bacon also organized the translation of the King James Version of the Bible, determined that the common people should have the benefit of reading God’s Word for themselves.

Ciphers discovered in the 1890s in the original printings of the Shakespearean plays and in the works of Bacon and other Elizabethan authors reveal that Bacon wrote Shakespeare’s plays and that he was the son of Queen Elizabeth and Lord Leicester.[15] His mother, however, fearful of an untimely loss of power, refused to acknowledge him as her heir.

During his lifetime, Bacon was largely unrecognized for his manifold talents, and towards the end of his life, he was the subject of great persecution. He is said to have died in 1626, but some have claimed that he secretly lived in Europe for a time after that. Triumphing over circumstances that would have destroyed lesser men, his soul entered the ritual of the ascension from the Rakoczy Mansion, retreat of the Great Divine Director, on May 1, 1684.

Le Comte de Saint Germain—Wonderman of Europe

Desiring above all else to liberate God’s people, Saint Germain sought and was granted a dispensation to return to earth in a physical body even after his ascension. He appeared as “le Comte de Saint Germain,” a miraculous gentleman who dazzled the courts of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Europe, where they called him “The Wonderman.”

Le Comte de Saint Germain

According to Prince Karl of Hesse, the Count revealed himself as the son of Prince Ferenc Rakoczy II of Transylvania, while others have speculated he was a Portuguese Jew or son of the king of Portugal.

He was a scholar, linguist, poet, musician, artist, raconteur and diplomat admired throughout the courts of Europe for his adeptship. He spoke at least twelve languages so fluently that everywhere he went he was accepted as a native. He was ambidextrous and could compose simultaneously a letter with one hand and poetry with the other.

His skill as an alchemist was praised by Louis XV, who provided him a laboratory and residence at the royal castle of Chambord.  And his alchemical demonstrations were nothing short of miraculous according to his chroniclers. He was known for such feats as removing the flaws in diamonds and other precious stones.

He formed secret societies, was a leading figure in the Rosicrucians, Freemasons and Knights Templar of the period,[16] and penned the occult classic The Most Holy Trinosophia, using a mixture of modern languages and ancient hieroglyphics. Voltaire described him as the “man who never dies and who knows everything.”[17] The count is mentioned in the letters of Frederick the Great, Voltaire, Horace Walpole and Casanova, and in newspapers of the day.

Working behind the scenes, Saint Germain attempted to effect a smooth transition from monarchy to representative government and to prevent the bloodshed of the French Revolution. He visited Marie Antoinette and her intimate friend, Madame d’Adhémar, who later wrote the story of his adeptship and his warning of the coming debacle and death of the king and queen.[18] But his counsel was ignored. In a final attempt to unite Europe, he backed Napoleon, who misused the master’s power to his own demise.

Sponsor of America

But even prior to this, Saint Germain had turned his attention to the New World. He became the sponsoring master of the United States of America and of her first president, inspiring the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. He also inspired many of the labor-saving devices of the twentieth century to further his goal of liberating mankind from drudgery that they might devote themselves to the pursuit of God-realization.[19]

Chohan of the Seventh Ray

In the latter part of the eighteenth century, Saint Germain received from the lady master Kuan Yin her office as chohan of the seventh ray—the ray of mercy and forgiveness and of sacred ceremony.

As chohan, or lord, of the seventh ray, the violet ray, Saint Germain initiates our souls in the science and ritual of transmutation through the violet flame. He is the seventh angel prophesied in Revelation 10:7 who comes to sponsor the finishing of the mystery of God “as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.”

Sponsor of Messengers

In the early 1930s, Saint Germain contacted his “general in the field,” the reembodied George Washington, whom he trained as a messenger and who, under the pen name of Godfré Ray King, released the foundation of Saint Germain’s instruction for the New Age in the books Unveiled Mysteries, The Magic Presence and The I AM Discourses.

In the late 1930s, many cosmic beings came forth from the Great Silence to assist Saint Germain in his work of bringing the teachings of the sacred fire to mankind and ushering in the golden age.

Keepers of the Flame Fraternity

In 1961 Saint Germain contacted his embodied representative, the messenger Mark L. Prophet, and founded the Keepers of the Flame Fraternity in memory of the Ancient of Days and his first pupil, Lord Gautama—and the second, Lord Maitreya.

Mark L. Prophet

Sanat Kumara, spoken of by the prophet Daniel as the Ancient of Days, came to earth in her darkest hour, long ago when all light had gone out in her evolutions. He and the band of 144,000 souls of light who accompanied him on that mission volunteered to keep the flame of life on behalf of earth’s people.

Saint Germain’s purpose in establishing the fraternity was to quicken all who had originally come to earth with Sanat Kumara—to restore the memory of their ancient vow and reason for being on earth today: to serve as world teachers and ministering servants in their families, communities and nations at this critical hour of the turning of cycles.

Thus, Saint Germain recalled the original keepers of the flame to hearken to the voice of the Ancient of Days and to answer the call to reconsecrate their lives to the rekindling of the flame of life and the sacred fires of freedom in the souls of God’s people. Saint Germain is the Knight Commander of the Keepers of the Flame Fraternity.

Ruler of the Aquarian Age

Saint Germain holds a very important position in hierarchy in this age. Not only is he the chohan of the seventh ray of freedom, mercy, transmutation and ritual, but he, together with his twin flame, the ascended lady master Portia, is the hierarch of the Aquarian age.

Each two-thousand-year cycle comes under one of the seven rays. Jesus, as chohan of the sixth ray, held the office of hierarch of the age during the last two thousand years. On May 1, 1954, Saint Germain and Portia were anointed as directors for the coming cycle of the seventh ray. On this date, Saint Germain received from Sanat Kumara the scepter of power and from the Master Jesus the crown of authority to direct the consciousness of mankind for this two-thousand-year period.

This does not mean that the influence of the ascended master Jesus has receded. Rather, as World Teacher from the ascended level, Jesus’ instruction and his radiation of the Christ consciousness to all mankind will be even more powerful and all-pervading than before, for it is the nature of the Divine continually to transcend itself. We live in an expanding universe—a universe that expands from the center of each individualized son (sun) of God.

This dispensation means that we are now entering a two-thousand-year period when, by invoking into our beings and worlds the violet transmuting flame of the seventh ray, the God-energy that the human race has misqualified for thousands of years may be purified and all mankind cut free from fear, lack, sin, sickness and death, and all may walk in the light as God-free beings.

Saint Germain is the great sponsor of freedom’s flame, while Portia is the sponsor of the flame of justice. Freedom and justice are the yin and yang of the seventh ray of Aquarius, and together with mercy, they provide the foundation for all other attributes of God to be outpictured in the seventh dispensation.

The Gift of the Violet Flame

Karma is the great x factor in our spiritual progress. As our sponsor for the Aquarian age, Saint Germain wants to help us solve our karmic dilemmas so we can realize our highest potential. His solution: the violet flame.

With regular use, the violet flame can bring positive change into our lives—and transmute the build-up of mankind’s karma that could result in the darkness prophesied for our time.  The violet flame is the seventh-ray aspect of the Holy Spirit. It is the sacred fire that transmutes the cause, effect, record and memory of sin, or negative karma. It is also called the flame of transmutation, of freedom and of forgiveness.

The violet flame works in microcosmic and macrocosmic worlds and is the key to individual and world transmutation. When the violet flame is invoked into action, it brings about change in whatever it contacts. The violet flame can alter, mitigate or entirely turn back prophecy. When you invoke the violet flame in the name of your own God Self through the heart of Jesus Christ and Saint Germain, angels of the seventh ray direct it into density, discord and the accumulation of negative karma.

The Retreats of the Master Saint Germain

Saint Germain has a number of etheric retreats—homes and temples of light where he receives students and anchors the flame of freedom for the earth. These retreats are on the etheric plane (sometimes called the heaven-world), a realm that interpenetrates the physical world but is in another dimension of being. The heaven-world is a vast and yet well-organized place, with many retreats, temples and cities of light.

The Cave of Symbols—The Retreat of Saint Germain in the Rocky Mountains

The Royal Teton Retreat and the Cave of Symbols are two retreats in North America that are used regularly by Saint Germain.

The Cave of Symbols is Saint Germain’s own retreat, and it is located in Table Mountain in the Rocky Mountains. One enters the retreat through a cavern in the mountain lined with pink and white crystal and then moves on into a vaulted chamber two hundred feet wide covered with stalactites of rainbow hue in the formation of occult symbols.

As focuses of the rainbow rays of God and geometric keys to the release of fohat, the energy that blazes through these symbols extends throughout the United States and has a most significant influence upon her people, keying into their consciousness the matrix of the golden age and the remembrance of their lost inheritance. The cave derives its name from these symbols.

On the opposite wall, at the far side of the chamber, there are three arches, spaced twenty feet apart: the first, a deep rose, the second, a penetrating white and the third, a cobalt blue. These are the focuses of great cosmic beings for the victory of the Christ consciousness in America.

Accompanied by the master Saint Germain, who raises his hand toward the center archway, we gain entrance to a tunnel that opens at his command. After several hundred feet, he shows us through a door on which there are more ancient symbols into a twelve-sided, domed room sixty feet in diameter. Immediately we notice that four of the twelve sides are a brilliant white (focusing the purity of the Christ consciousness in the four elements and the four lower bodies of the planet). The remainder are the pastel hues of the rays.

In this room we are shown the fantastic radio invented by the ascended lady master Leonora, by which one can communicate with other planets in this solar system, with the center of the earth, or with any point on the surface of the earth. There are chemical and electrical laboratories where scientists are perfecting formulas and inventions they have been permitted to take from the hermetically sealed cities at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean that have been protected since the sinking of Atlantis. These discoveries will be brought forth for mankind’s use in the golden age, just as soon as man has learned to harness greed, selfishness and the desire to control others through war and dishonest financial policies.

When the sons of God are once again in control of the great nations of the world, the ascended masters will step forth with a tremendous wealth of information that has been guarded in their retreats for ages. Unascended scientists come here in their finer bodies while asleep or between embodiments. Students of the light can also ask to be taken here. Saint Germain is training a large cadre of souls devoted to the Christ and to the science of the Christ, who at the proper time will have lowered into the outer consciousness all that they have learned in this and other retreats of the Brotherhood.

In one of the chambers of this retreat, there is what is called an “atomic accelerator”—a golden chair through which are passed electronic currents that quicken the vibratory pattern of the atoms and electrons within the four lower bodies (the physical, emotional, mental and etheric sheathes of the soul). Initiates of the Brotherhood who have proven their merit by service and devotion to the light and who have already balanced a considerable amount of their karma are allowed to sit in this chair for a length of time prescribed by the master Saint Germain and the Lords of Karma. By accelerating the light frequency in the four lower bodies, a portion of one’s karma is balanced and a portion of one’s misqualified substance is thrown off by the centrifugal action produced by the revolving electrons and transmuted by the sacred fire.

Thus, the individual’s four lower bodies can be accelerated in ascension currents and the soul raised into the ascension. Under the sponsorship of Saint Germain, many lifestreams have ascended from this very room.

Entering an elevator, we descend a hundred feet into the heart of the mountain, emerging in a circular room having a diameter of twenty feet. We are led through a door into a huge hall equipped with furnaces and machines for the production of materials used in the experimental work carried on in the chemical and electrical laboratories in the upper level of the retreat.

Returning to the upper level, we are shown a reception hall with a domed ceiling, adjoining sleeping quarters, and an audience hall also with a domed ceiling of sky blue with painted clouds, giving the impression of being in the open air. There is a magnificent organ and a piano that are used by the masters to focus the harmonizing currents of the music of the spheres on behalf of the freedom of sons and daughters of God on earth.

The Cosmic Mirror is on the east wall of the Crystal Chamber. When the disciple has reached a certain degree of attainment, he is taken by the master before the Cosmic Mirror, which keys into his etheric body and reflects his past lives, including the cause and effect upon his world of every thought, feeling, word and deed he has ever manifested.

The Cosmic Mirror also reflects the original blueprint of his divine plan that is placed upon the etheric body when the soul is born in the heart of God. In viewing his past lives, the disciple then may learn what portion of the divine plan he has outpictured. He may see what conditions in his world must be corrected and what good momentums he has developed that he can now use to overcome the difficulties of the past and the present and thus fulfill his divine plan in the very near future.

At the far end of the audience hall, through a concealed door, one enters the Sphere of Light, a spherical-shaped room where the focus of the sacred fire is used to intensify the expansion of the light within those who are permitted to enter there. This focus serves to bring disciples of the masters closer to their ascension and to provide them with the assistance to accelerate the process that could not be achieved in the outer world.

It is a very real and enlivening experience to stand before the Cosmic Mirror in this retreat. The disciple needs to be ready to look through the illusions, the fantasies and the synthetic self. He must be able to own up to the deceits that the ego continually practices against itself.

It is not possible to hide anything from God. The sincere student who would like to get rid of these illusions may call to Saint Germain to be taken to stand before the Cosmic Mirror.

The Rakoczy Mansion and the Temple of the Maltese Cross

The Rakoczy Mansion is a focus of freedom in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains in Transylvania, now a part of Romania. Resembling a medieval castle surrounded by woods, this physical focus remains hidden from the eyes of the world.

Saint Germain came here before the sinking of Atlantis, carrying the freedom flame under the direct guidance of his teacher, the Great Divine Director. Saint Germain reembodied here in later centuries, and under the guidance of his guru, rediscovered the flame that he had planted and built the Rakoczy Mansion. Here he entertained the heads of state of the European nations, taught the science of alchemy, and attempted to unite Europe and expand the freedom flame in the hearts of the people.

The flame room in the center of the mansion seats approximately one hundred persons. It is a rectangular room having entrances at either end, the altar being on the long side of the room with a platform and podium for the officiating hierarch, and the freedom flame in shades of violet blazing on the altar behind the speaker. The physical focus is today for the most part inactive, yet the flame continues to blaze there upon the altar.

Saint Germain has transported archives, paintings and collections from this retreat to his focus in the Cave of Symbols. However, just over the House of Rakoczy in the etheric realms, he has recently built an etheric temple in the shape of a Maltese cross. This is a permanent focus of the flame of freedom on behalf of the millions of lifestreams who yearn to drink deeply of the draft of freedom and to taste the elixir of immortal life that has become a legend as the famed fountain of eternal youth, which was sought after by Ponce de Leon and the explorers who came to the New World.

The Great Divine Director has described some of the activities of this retreat: “I am the founder of the House of Rakoczy. And in our mansion in Transylvania, where there has been established on the etheric plane a sacred Temple of the Maltese Cross, there are enshrined records of past civilizations of glory and blueprints for a golden age to come. Some of you have journeyed to that retreat in past embodiments when Saint Germain acted as host, and you came in physical bodies to be entertained there by the Wonderman of Europe, my disciple and your Knight Commander.”[20]

The music of “Tales from the Vienna Woods” can help us to attune with this retreat.

The Royal Teton Retreat

The Royal Teton Retreat, congruent with the Teton Range near Jackson Hole, Wyoming, is the principal retreat of the Great White Brotherhood on the North American continent. The ascended master Confucius is the hierarch of this physical-etheric retreat in the Grand Teton mountain. This retreat is an ancient focus of great light where the seven rays of the Elohim and archangels are enshrined.

The Lords of Karma, Gautama Buddha and all members of the Great White Brotherhood frequent this gathering place of the ascended masters and their disciples, while also maintaining the specialized functions of their own retreats.

Twice a year—at winter and summer solstice—the Lords of Karma convene in the council chambers of this retreat to act upon the petitions of sons and daughters of God and to deliver the cosmic dispensations that come forth from the heart of Alpha and Omega in the Great Central Sun—allotments of energy for the enlightenment and progress of humanity.

Accompanied by the ascended master Saint Germain, Guy W. Ballard (now the ascended master Godfre) visited the Royal Teton Retreat early in the twentieth century. He recorded his experiences there and in the Cave of Symbols in his books Unveiled Mysteries and The Magic Presence.

We approach the hidden entrance of the Royal Teton Retreat accompanied by an ascended master, for whom large boulders on the mountainside part and great bronze doors open wide. We descend in an elevator two thousand feet into the heart of the mountain. Entering the reception hall, we behold a magnificent tapestry heavily embroidered with silk and jewels, depicting the founders of the retreat in the act of invoking tremendous power from the sun.

There is a great council hall two hundred feet long and one hundred feet wide whose ceiling is fifty feet high. White onyx forms part of the walls; others are of highly polished blue and rose granite. A vein of gold left in its natural state in the rock of one wall enhances the setting.

In the center of the arched ceiling is a disc of gold, twelve feet in diameter. A seven-pointed star formed entirely of dazzling, yellow diamonds fills the center of the disc and emits a brilliant golden light. Surrounding this focus of the Central Sun are two twelve-inch rings—the inner ring is rose pink and the outer is a deep iridescent violet. Seven smaller discs also surround the Central Sun focusing the seven rays of the Elohim that contact and invigorate the seven chakras in man and the ganglionic centers in animal life. The currents that the Elohim direct through these focuses also benefit the elemental kingdom and plant life on earth.

Focused in the wall at the far end of this hall is a large eye, representative of the All-Seeing Eye of God. Through it, mighty currents are directed for the realignment of the forces upon earth with the immaculate pattern God holds for all of his creation. The seven rays of the Elohim are enshrined at this retreat, and the rays are concentrated and anchored in this large image of the All-Seeing Eye of God in the great council hall.

On another wall is a panel of precipitated substance used as a mirror for the instruction of initiates of the ascended masters and members of the Brotherhood. Here the masters project the akashic records of activities upon earth or any other planet on which they may desire to give instruction—past, present and future.

Also in this retreat are record rooms containing spindles on which are recorded in pressed gold the records of many civilizations that have existed upon the earth since its earliest days. Other rooms contain gold and jewels that the ascended masters have rescued from the lost continents and civilizations that have fallen.

In the center of the room where the gold is kept is a focus for the precipitation of sunlight. In another room, the threefold flame is focused. There is also a violet-flame chamber as well as departments of science and rehabilitation and council halls where there is continual planning and development of projects to be carried out by souls in embodiment.

In many classrooms those who attend this retreat in their finer bodies during sleep are received. Other areas are provided for those who, after passing from physical embodiment, must remain in a state of sleep until it is time for them to be awakened to make preparation for their next embodiment.

A music room with beautiful instruments that have been perfected by the ascended masters sends forth to the world the music of the spheres. The perfected patterns of some of these instruments have been released as ideas into the minds of some musicians in the world, and more will be released in the golden age. Many new inventions, scientific formulas, techniques in art and in every field of human endeavor—already developed by the ascended masters—will also be released from this retreat when mankind have demonstrated their predisposition to use them honorably and morally according to the golden rule.

The Royal Teton Retreat is the focus for the precipitation of the culture of the Divine Mother. Precipitation is necessary in order to have a golden age, and the flame of precipitation is anchored here—Chinese green tinged with gold and yellow.

Conclaves are held at the Royal Teton Retreat attended by thousands of lifestreams from every continent who journey here in their finer bodies through soul travel while they sleep. There are also smaller classes and tutorials.

Saint Germain and Lord Lanto with the ascended master Confucius conduct their Universities of the Spirit here—courses of instruction being given by the lords of the seven rays and the Maha Chohan at their respective retreats for tens of thousands of students who are pursuing the path of self-mastery on the seven rays. In the etheric realm over this retreat, a large amphitheater has been built to accommodate those lifestreams who, by recent dispensation, have been permitted to come to the retreat in their finer bodies for instruction.

Confucius

Confucius has expanded on some of the purposes of attending the retreat: “In coming to the Royal Teton Retreat many purposes are served, notably that many of the evolutions of ancient China have reembodied here in America. These ones are the quiet buddhic souls, the diligent ones, the ones who have also laid the foundation of the family in America and of the basic loyalty of the family, the code of ethics, the gentleness, the sweetness and the desire for learning as the means to God-awareness.

“Many of these have responded also to the teachings from Tibet and from Gautama and Maitreya. Out of the East they have come. They have come for an embodiment that their wisdom might be fired with freedom, that they might assist America in the grand turn of the centuries whereby the mechanization of a false materialism might be turned about and there might manifest instead an etherealization, a spirituality, a conquering of self, of society and of the energies of time and space.”[21]

Lanto also invites us to attend the classes in this retreat: “In the chambers of the Royal Teton, where the golden hue of victory saturates the atmosphere hallowed by the victorious ones, I stand to lecture to those who keep the flame of the World Mother and to the remnant of her seed who have forsaken the ways of the world in preference for her mantle. I invite all who pursue Wisdom—though her veils and garb be varied as she passes through all levels of learning—all who seek her knowledge as that true knowledge that comes forth from the fertile mind of the Creator. To you I say, Come to Wisdom’s fount and make ready while there is yet time for you to become all that Wisdom has held in store for you throughout the ages.

“And with the holy oil of deodar, the Mother shall anoint you to consecrate you for reunion in the Flame.”[22]

The music that attunes us with this retreat is “Song to the Evening Star” from Tannhäuser.  

Saint Germain’s Role Today

Saint Germain’s role today is absolutely pivotal to the forward progress and evolution of mankind on earth. We cannot do without this master if there is to be any hope of a golden age.

His sponsorship of the uplift movement of The Summit Lighthouse and the Keepers of the Flame Fraternity, his role as the chohan of the seventh ray and his direction as hierarch of the Aquarian age are foundational to a golden age of freedom, peace and enlightenment, prophesied to occur on planet Earth in the new millennium.

Saint Germain’s gift of the violet flame and his sponsorship of the nation of America are gifts beyond compare. If we take the tools that he has so graciously shared with us and apply them in our lives, we can reap the rewards and benefits that will bring us closer to the path of soul liberation and our own reunion with the Source of all life.

SECTION II

Spiritual Tools for Transformation

The Science of Alchemy

Saint Germain is known in heaven as the master alchemist. He teaches the science of alchemy in his book Saint Germain On Alchemy. He uses the amethyst—the stone of the alchemist, the stone of the Aquarian age and the violet flame.

Alchemy is the “all-chemistry of God,” which shows how each facet of creation is brought into manifestation in the material world. It deals with consciously controlling transmutations in matter and energy so that man becomes a co-creator with God.

Alchemy is the science that enables us to access the universal light that is our true heritage. We are intended to have the fullness of the abundant life that Jesus came to vouchsafe to us to remind us of our ancient heritage in past golden ages.

Jesus demonstrated this science with the miracle at the marriage of Cana, when he changed the water into wine. Saint Germain similarly demonstrated his mastery of alchemy when as le Comte de Saint Germain in the courts of Europe, he removed the flaws from diamonds.

The ancient alchemists sought the ability to change base metals into gold, as well as a universal cure for disease (the “panacea”) and a means to indefinitely prolong life (the “elixir of life”). Today the law of transcendence and the spiritual science of alchemy relate to the higher ability to change the base elements of human nature into the gold of the Christ, the divine Reality. For Saint Germain, the highest alchemy is the science of self-transformation, which leads to the precipitation of the Christ consciousness.

Saint Germain has given us the gift of the violet flame to assist us in our personal alchemy and for the transmutation of personal and planetary karma. 

Nine Steps to Precipitation

In his book Saint Germain On Alchemy, the master gives an alchemical formula for the precipitation of substance in this plane. This formula is outlined in nine steps:

Light is the alchemical key. The words “Let there be light,” are the first fiat of creation and the first step in the proper precipitation.

Create a mind blueprint of the object you wish to produce. This should incorporate definite size, proportion, substance, density, color and quality in detailed picture form.

Determine where in time and space you wish it to manifest.

If you know the material substance of which it is composed, memorize its atomic pattern. If you don’t know, leave all to the Divine Intelligence within your Higher Mind to register the pattern for you from the Universal Intelligence and impress it upon your memory body and your mind.

Call for light to take on the atomic pattern you are holding.

Call for the multiplication of this atomic structure until molecules of substance begin to fill the void occupying the space in which you desire the object to appear.

When the total outline is filled with the vibratory action of the fourth-dimensional substance representing the desired manifestation, ask for the full lowering of the atomic density into three-dimensional form and substance within the pattern established by the matrix of your mind.

When the visualization of the blueprint within your mind is complete, it ought to be immediately sealed with the words “It is finished!” These words are the second fiat of creation following “Let there be light!” Do not misunderstand this step and think that by sealing your plan, you are closing the door to the improvement of its design. Improvements can be made in subsequent models. Unless you release the blueprint to the elementals and builders of form as a finished work, they cannot properly bring it into manifestation.

Protect your creative intent and as Jesus said, “Go and tell no man.” Don’t allow other minds to impinge upon your experiment. This law of precipitation allows you to circumvent concentrated beams of human thought and feeling patterns that can be most disturbing to a successful alchemical experiment. Avoid, then, the dissipation of energy by the intrusion of a multiplicity of minds, except where two or more individuals are specifically cooperating in a joint precipitation.

Await results. Do not be tense if your manifestation is not immediate or if after a reasonable length of time it appears that results are not forthcoming. Despair destroys the very faith upon which your experiment is built. If you have spent years in the grip of human emotions, these records must be consumed by alchemical fires to make way for these nobler ideas and forms that you would image forth. To your new ideas you must give your time and your energy. You begin to weave a web, by violet flame, of fruition dedicated to spirituality, to the spiritualization of the material consciousness, and to the materialization of heavenly concepts right here on earth where the kingdom of God must come into manifestation.[23]

The Creation of the Cloud

Another alchemical formula released by Saint Germain is a meditation for the Creation of the Cloud. In Saint Germain On Alchemy, he teaches how to magnetize millions of “focal points of light” into a brilliant pulsating “cloud of infinite energy” that can be directed into personal and planetary problems for the healing of specific conditions, such as disease, pollution, crime and war. The following pages give an outline of this ritual.

Meditation on the Creation of the Cloud

by Saint Germain

With God all things are possible! If you possess his consciousness, then all things are, in fact, immediately possible to you. If this is not your instantaneous experience, then you need more of his consciousness....

The cloud, as the manifestation of the power of your creative energy, the fire of your Spirit, will draw into your world the very consciousness of God himself.

One of the most effective means by which change can be produced is through what I will call “the creation of the cloud.” I am referring to a cloud of infinite energy that is everywhere present but nowhere manifest until it is called into action.

Throughout this ritual your consciousness must be kept pure, charged with love, aware of the infinite potential of the cosmic mind of God and completely identified with all constructive momentums. Remember that it is practice that makes perfect, that it is motive that transfigures design, that it is beauty that transfixes the soul.

 1.  Stand now before your altar, honoring the living God and his fiat “Take dominion!” You are about to create, and you will first create the cloud from the enormous power of God stored at every point in space, waiting to be invoked.

 2.  We shall create in our minds first a milky white radiance, and we shall see this milky white radiance as an electronic vibratory action of vital, moving, ineffable light. The concentration of the light is that which makes the milky white color.

 3.  Having created in our minds this form of a bright translucent cloud, we allow it to enfold our physical bodies and to occupy our forcefield. For a moment we become lost in the midst of the cloud, and then it seems as though it has always been there. Its atmosphere is familiar, comfortable.

 4.  Let this bright and shining cloud at first be nine feet in diameter around oneself. Later, perhaps, we shall expand it to a diameter of ninety feet, then nine hundred feet and further.

In our early meditations we shall concentrate on intensifying the action of the white light in our minds. Once we have developed the sense of this cloud being around our physical forms, we shall understand that whereas the cloud can be made visible to the physical sight, our primary concern is to keep its high vibratory action purely spiritual.

 5.  Those of you who are familiar with electronics and the workings of a rheostat will understand that by a simple twist of the dial of consciousness, we can intensify the vibratory action of the cloud. We coalesce more light around each central point of light; for our cloud is composed of many light points whose auras diffuse and blend with one another, making the total effect one of a lacy yet highly concentrated white radiance, a pure swirling cloud of cosmic energy.

We are amplifying an intense action of the light from within its own forcefield—more than would normally manifest in a given area. We are thereby drawing upon universal God-power to produce this cloud. It first penetrates and then hallows our immediate forcefield in order that we may have a spiritual altar upon which we may project the pictures of Reality we desire to create.

 6.  This cloud can be used therapeutically for the healing of the nations and the soul of a planet. You can also use it as a platform to invoke, as Christ did upon the Mount of Transfiguration, the presence of the ascended masters to assist you in your alchemical experiments and in your ministrations to life.

Where you are yet ignorant of just what you ought to produce for yourself and others, you can, in a gentle, childlike manner, ask God to produce out of the great pool of his light-energy the miracle of his healing love, not only in your life and in the lives of your loved ones, but also in the lives of the multitudes in the world at large.

You can ask the power of God and of the kingdom of heaven to come into manifestation upon earth. You can ask for the golden age to be born, for an end to strife and struggle. You can ask for love to take dominion over the world.

If you will open your heart to the needs of the world and to the love of the Divine Mother that seeks expression through your uplifted consciousness, limitless ideas for universal service will flow into your mind.

 7.  Ask God to increase the potential of the cloud by giving the following prayer:

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, I command billions of points of light to now expand, gather more of the sacred fire, increase the mighty potential of the fiery cloud, and be the brilliance, the vital, moving, ineffable light of Almighty God—even that light of the cloud of my own mighty I AM Presence—where I AM!

By the authority of the universal law of God, I decree this holy thing, O God. I accept it done in the name of my own beloved Christ Self. And, behold, I see it done, and it is done where I AM.

Christ Self of me, hold the vision, train the eye of God upon it, and let me know and experience this expansion! For indeed, I AM the cloud. The cloud is in me.

I AM the highly concentrated white radiance.

I AM the cause behind the effect of the cloud.

I AM the magnet of the Great Central Sun within my heart, magnetizing the cloud of infinite energy where I AM.

I AM a pure, swirling cloud of cosmic energy!

 8.  Assign this radiant cloud of brilliant energy to a particular purpose with the following prayer:

Lord God Almighty, O Brahman, O Word, I direct this cloud of infinite energy to now be attenuated in or over: [       name location or situation        ].

From the earth, from the sea, high into the upper atmosphere, I AM now the authority of the white-fire cloud in manifestation spiritually. Through the threefold flame of my heart, I AM commanding the crystallization of the cloud from Spirit to Matter.

Let this cloud of God consume now: [    name personal or world conditions in need of healing or resolution    ].

I demand and I AM the release of the radiant cloud of energy.

So be it. It is done. It is finished. It is sealed.

The zeal of the Lord will perform it! Amen.

 9.  Once you have held the vision of the cloud and turned it over to your Higher Self to sustain, to the latent God-faculties within you, your God Presence will sustain it for the required period.

In time you will find that the glow of the cloud will softly suffuse itself through your physical body. As this takes place, there will come a sharpening of the mind and a new sense of awareness of all life everywhere.

As you gain spiritual power through these periods of meditation upon the cloud—which at first should not exceed fifteen minutes a day—understand that the creative cloud will continue to expand throughout the universe as a globe of translucent white fire, eddying in ever-widening spheres to contact all that is Real and that is really yours.[24]

The Chart of Your Divine Self

Saint Germain has released the Chart of Your Divine Self as a portrait of you and of the God within you. It is a diagram of you and your potential to become who you really are. It is an outline of your spiritual anatomy.

The upper figure is your “I AM Presence,” the Presence of God that is individualized in each one of us. It is your personalized “I AM THAT I AM.” Your I AM Presence is surrounded by seven concentric spheres of spiritual energy that make up what is called your “causal body.” The spheres of pulsating energy contain the record of the good works you have performed since your very first incarnation on earth. They are like your cosmic bank account.

The middle figure in the Chart represents the  “Holy Christ Self,” who is also called the Higher Self. You can think of your Holy Christ Self as your chief guardian angel and dearest friend, your inner teacher and voice of conscience. Just as the I AM Presence is the presence of God that is individualized for each of us, so the Holy Christ Self is the presence of the Universal Christ individualized for each of us. “The Christ” is actually a title given to those who have attained oneness with their Higher Self, or Christ Self. That’s why Jesus was called “Jesus, the Christ.”

What the Chart shows is that each of us has a Higher Self, or “Inner Christ,” and that each of us is destined to become one with that Higher Self—whether we call it the Christ, the Buddha, the Tao or the Atman. This “Inner Christ” is what the Christian mystics sometimes refer to as the “inner man of the heart,” and what the Upanishads mysteriously describe as a being the “size of a thumb” who “dwells deep within the heart.”

We all have moments when we feel that connection with our Higher Self—when we are creative, loving, joyful. But there are other moments when we feel out of sync with our Higher Self—moments when we become angry, depressed, lost. What the spiritual path is all about is learning to sustain the connection to the higher part of ourselves so that we can make our greatest contribution to humanity.

The shaft of white light descending from the I AM Presence through the Holy Christ Self to the lower figure in the Chart is the crystal cord (sometimes called the silver cord). It is the “umbilical cord,” the lifeline, that ties you to Spirit.

Your crystal cord also nourishes that special, radiant flame of God that is ensconced in the secret chamber of your heart. It is called the threefold flame, or divine spark, because it is literally a spark of sacred fire that God has transmitted from his heart to yours. This flame is called “threefold” because it engenders the primary attributes of Spirit—power, wisdom and love.

The mystics of the world’s religions have contacted the divine spark, describing it as the seed of divinity within. Buddhists, for instance, speak of the “germ of Buddhahood” that exists in every living being. In the Hindu tradition, the Katha Upanishad speaks of the “light of the Spirit” that is concealed in the “secret high place of the heart” of all beings.

Likewise, the fourteenth-century Christian theologian and mystic Meister Eckhart teaches of the divine spark when he says, “God’s seed is within us.”

The lower figure in the Chart of Your Divine Self represents you, the soul on the spiritual path, surrounded by the violet flame and the protective white light of God. The soul is the living potential of God—the part of you that is mortal but that can become immortal.

The purpose of your soul’s evolution on earth is to grow in self-mastery, balance your karma and fulfill your mission on earth so that you can return to the spiritual dimensions that are your real home. When your soul at last takes flight and ascends back to God and the heaven-world, you will become an “ascended” master, free from the rounds of karma and rebirth. The use of the violet flame can help you reach that goal more quickly.

The Science of the Spoken Word

One of Saint Germain’s most important gifts to us is his teaching on the Science of the Spoken Word—the science of invoking the light of God to produce constructive change in oneself and the world.

This Word is the Word of the LORD God released in the original fiats of creation. The spoken Word is the means of the release of the energies of the Word, or the Logos, through the throat chakra by the Sons of God in confirmation of that lost Word.

It is written, “By thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”[25] When man and woman reconsecrate the throat chakra in the affirmation of the Word of God, they become the instruments of God’s own commandments that fulfill the law of their re-creation after the image of the Son.

Invocations offered by priests and priestesses of the sacred fire on Lemuria in this power of the spoken Word were originally given according to the science of the Logos. The perversion of this science in the practice of black magic occurred later, in the last days of Lemuria, bringing about the destruction of the temples of the Cosmic Virgin and the cataclysm that sank the continent. The Easter Island images are the remains, marking the site of the wars of the gods that shook the earth in those terrible days.

By contrast, this Science of the Spoken Word was used in its pure form by the Israelites to fell the walls of Jericho. Today disciples use the power of the Word in decrees, affirmations, prayers and mantras to draw the essence of the sacred fire from the I AM Presence, the Christ Self and cosmic beings to channel God’s light into matrices of transmutation and transformation for constructive change in the planes of Matter.

The Science of the Spoken Word (together with that of the creative power of visualization) is the essential and key ingredient in all alchemy. Without the Word spoken, there is no alchemy, no creation, no change or interchange in any part of life. It is the alchemist’s white stone, which, when successfully applied by the secrets of the heart flame, reveals the “new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.”[26]

When we use mantras or decrees, we meditate on the flame in the secret chamber of our heart. This secret chamber is your own private meditation room, your interior castle, as Teresa of Avila called it. In Hindu tradition, the devotee visualizes a jeweled island in his heart. There he sees himself before a beautiful altar, where he worships his teacher in deep meditation.

Jesus spoke of entering the secret chamber of the heart when he said: “When thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.”[27]

The master of the Aquarian age, Saint Germain, teaches his disciples to invoke the violet flame by the power of the spoken Word for forgiveness of sins and for the baptism of the sacred fire in preparation for transition into the higher consciousness of God.

The violet flame can be used to transmute, or change, any negative energy in our lives, including the energies of hatred, anger, discord or hardness of heart. The power of transmutation is a specific quality of the violet flame, which, when invoked into action, changes all that it contacts into a higher and purer state.

The following is a simple mantra, or decree, for the violet flame. As you say this mantra aloud, visualize the spiritual energy of the violet flame erasing your problems, resolving burdens and liberating you from sadness or regret due to poor choices in the past.

I AM a being of violet fire,
I AM the purity God desires.

When we use the words “I AM” in this decree, it is not just a positive affirmation. In fact, “I AM” is the name of God that he revealed to Moses when he spoke out of the burning bush. So when we affirm “I AM,” we are really saying “God in me is...” or “God in me is the action of...” Whatever follows—whether it be speech, prayer, mantra or decree—is self-realized because it is the power of God’s name and his Be-ness that works creative change in our lives.

Here is another decree that uses the I AM name to invoke the violet flame:

I AM the violet flame
    In action in me now
I AM the violet flame
    To light alone I bow
I AM the violet flame
    In mighty cosmic power
I AM the light of God
    Shining every hour
I AM the violet flame
    Blazing like a sun
I AM God’s sacred power
    Freeing every one

The Power of the Violet Flame

The Elohim of the seventh ray, Arcturus and Victoria, have spoken of the power of the violet flame to change the world: “The problems of the world are bigger than both of us and all of us. They are not bigger than the Elohim of God, but they are bigger than us when we have no one to contact in the earth who will make the call to the violet flame whereby we can intercede.

“The violet flame, then, is the very solution of the hour to get things moving ... in all of these places you see as you sit before your TV sets and stare in wonder at the atrocities being committed. Yet have you saturated the area with the violet flame?... Whatever problems you see when you look at your home life, your family and your children, know that the violet flame can and will make the difference!...

“Many of you have seen the film Aladdin, and you have said to yourselves, ‘Now, that is just what I need—I need a genie!’. . . Well, Saint Germain is a genie also. So you have your genies. In fact, you have ten thousand–times–ten thousand genies! For look at all the ascended masters and hosts of the LORD who, when they hear just one command from you, when that command is qualified by the will of God, will answer your call and perform for you so long as what you are asking for is the will of God and is in keeping with the cosmic timetable for that event.”[28]

Arcturus and Victoria hurl us this challenge: “So you will decide whether the violet flame shall be for you the point of the springboard of your victory!...

“So you will decide what the violet flame will be as the x factor in the turning around of your life, your economy, your outlook!

“Everything that happens to you in this world can be altered by the violet flame! Only you can decide....

“Somehow this human mind that carries the cast of the dweller-on-the-threshold and the not-self does not quite believe, even in the minds and hearts of chelas, that the violet flame can do everything—everything that you need to have done.... Yes, beloved hearts, seeing is going to be believing. And we are going to see to it that at some level of your being, both conscious and unconscious, you shall acknowledge the miracles of the very violet flame that you invoke.

“When an alchemist goes to his laboratory, if he does not perform the experiment, if he does not engage in alchemy, nothing happens. Well, if you do nothing, you will see nothing! And so the experiment must include your invoking the violet flame for a certain amount of time each day until you have a momentum building in your aura....

“The violet flame is the wonder drug of the century. It is the wonder flame! And it can make the difference as to which way planet Earth goes. I don’t mind if you whistle the violet flame, sing the violet flame, jump and dance to the violet flame, do circle dances to all of your music to the violet flame, create new music to the violet-flame decrees. I don’t mind whatever you do. Make games out of it! Do marathons with it! But whatever you do, beloved ones, you have to get busy with exciting and innovative methods to bring that violet flame into every area of your life and to bring it there at the point where it counts, with the Science of the Spoken Word—your word, your tongue, your vocal cords and your chakras....

“We are in joy, Arcturus and Victoria, ever ready to save planet Earth in answer to your command!”[29]

The waltzes of Strauss carry the vibration of the violet flame and will help to put you in tune with Saint Germain. The master has also told us that the “Rakoczy March,” by Franz Liszt, carries the flame of his heart and the formula of the violet flame.

Your Tube of Light

The tube of light is the white light that descends from the heart of the I AM Presence in answer to our call as a shield of protection for our four lower bodies. About nine feet in diameter, it is a cylinder that originates in the I AM Presence and extends three feet below our feet. The tube of light acts as a shield of protection from negative energies and may be sustained twenty-four hours a day as long as we maintain harmony in our thoughts, feelings, words and deeds. (The tube of light is shown in the Chart of Your Divine Self.)

Zechariah said, “I will be a wall round about and the fire in the midst.”[30] The tube of light is the wall round about, and the violet fire is the fire in the midst. The tube of light is our seamless garment, descending around us like a waterfall of light, forming an armour of protection. It seals us from the mass consciousness and the energies of the world.

Saint Germain has released the following decree to invoke the tube of light. We always stand when we give this decree, in honor of the God within us.

Violet Fire and Tube of Light Decree
by Saint Germain

O my constant, loving I AM Presence, thou light of God above me whose radiance forms a circle of fire before me to light my way:

I AM faithfully calling to thee to place a great pillar of light from my own mighty I AM God Presence all around me right now today! Keep it intact through every passing moment, manifesting as a shimmering shower of God’s beautiful light through which nothing human can ever pass. Into this beautiful electric circle of divinely charged energy, direct a swift upsurge of the violet fire of freedom’s forgiving transmuting flame!

Cause the ever expanding energy of this flame projected downward into the forcefield of my human energies to completely change every negative condition into the positive polarity of my own Great God Self!

Let the magic of its mercy so purify my world with light that all whom I contact shall always be blessed with the fragrance of violets from God’s own heart in memory of the blessed dawning day when all discord—cause, effect, record, and memory—is forever changed into the victory of light and the peace of the ascended Jesus Christ.

I AM now constantly accepting the full power and manifestation of this fiat of light and calling it into instantaneous action by my own God-given free will and the power to accelerate without limit this sacred release of assistance from God’s own heart until all men are ascended and God-free in the light that never, never, never fails!

The ascended master El Morya has given a short decree that can also be given to invoke the tube of light and the violet flame.

Tube of Light
by El Morya

Beloved I AM Presence bright,
Round me seal your tube of light
From ascended master flame
Called forth now in God’s own name.
Let it keep my temple free
From all discord sent to me.

I AM calling forth violet fire
To blaze and transmute all desire,
Keeping on in freedom’s name
Till I AM one with the violet flame.

Mastery of the Seat-of-the-Soul Chakra

Within each of our bodies are seven primary energy centers, known as chakras. These energy centers operate at subtle levels, invisible to the physical eye. Yet they affect every aspect of our life, including our vitality, our creativity and our well-being. Saint Germain especially teaches us the mastery of the seat-of-the-soul chakra.

In simple terms, we can think of the energy centers as receiving and sending stations for the energy that flows to us, through us and out from us moment by moment. Each center is like a step-down transformer that translates this powerful energy from Spirit to a different level of our being—nourishing body, mind and soul. Each chakra has a unique part to play in the process of daily living and spiritual growth.

The seven major energy centers are situated at etheric levels of our being along the spinal column at the base of the spine, midway between the base and the navel, at the navel, the heart, the throat, the brow and the top of the head.

The seat-of-the-soul chakra has six petals and is located midway between the navel and the base of the spine. It is associated with the seventh ray and the expression of freedom, mercy, forgiveness, justice, transcendence, alchemy, transmutation, diplomacy, intuition, prophecy and revelation.

The ancients saw the seat of the soul as a real power point. In the martial arts, it is the point of equilibrium and the central focus of ch’i, the inner energy essential to the maintenance of life.

The Seat-of-the-Soul Chakra

This chakra is also the point where we make contact with our soul and receive the impressions and guidance of the soul. When we have a gut feeling about someone, we are receiving an instantaneous soul impression. Sometimes our soul will give us a warning, “It’s not safe to go here or to do this right now.” This soul sensitivity is part of our internal guidance system. Our soul is wise and can give us much inner direction.

Saint Germain’s Meditation on the Heart

The master Saint Germain teaches us to place our attention upon the heart chakra as a means to strengthen our contact with the Divine:

“Your heart is indeed one of the choicest gifts of God. Within it there is a central chamber surrounded by such light and protection as that which we call a ‘cosmic interval.’ It is a chamber separated from Matter, and no probing could ever discover it. It occupies simultaneously not only the third and fourth dimensions but also other dimensions unknown to man. It is thus the connecting point of the mighty silver cord of light that descends from your divine God Presence to sustain the beating of your physical heart, giving you life, purpose and cosmic integration.

“I urge all men to treasure this point of contact that they have with life by paying conscious recognition to it. You do not need to understand by sophisticated language or scientific postulation the how, why and wherefore of this activity.

“Be content to know that God is there and that there is within you a point of contact with the Divine, a spark of fire from the Creator’s own heart, which is called the threefold flame of life. There it burns as the triune essence of love, wisdom and power.

“Each acknowledgment paid daily to the flame within your heart will amplify the power and illumination of love within your being. Each such attention will produce a new sense of dimension for you, if not outwardly apparent then subconsciously manifest within the folds of your inner thoughts.

“Neglect not, then, your heart as the altar of God. Neglect it not as the sun of your manifest being. Draw from God the power of love and amplify it within your heart. Then send it out into the world at large as the bulwark of that which shall overcome the darkness of the planet, saying:

I AM the light of the heart
Shining in the darkness of being
And changing all into the golden treasury
Of the mind of Christ.

I AM projecting my love
Out into the world
To erase all errors
And to break down all barriers.

I AM the power of infinite love,
Amplifying itself
Until it is victorious,
World without end!

“With this gift of infinite freedom from God’s own heart,... I close this epistle with a never-ending promise to assist you to find your immortal freedom as you determine never to give up and never to turn back.

“Remember that as long as you face the light, the shadows are always behind.”[31]

The Purple Fiery Heart of Saint Germain

The heart of every ascended master is a sacred heart, for God dwells there. The secret chamber of the heart is the sacred space within the heart where the flame of life burns as a sacred fire, the unfed flame, the flame that burns but is not consumed.

The heart of beloved Saint Germain is a purple fiery heart. Saint Germain is a devotee of the sacred heart of Jesus, “whose heart I have made my own, imploring that Christ and therefore intensifying the purple fiery heart in his honor.”[32]

The master has promised intercession through his purple fiery heart, saying, “I will stand, and I will stand for eternity, to champion your soul’s path of victory and the ascension. Many of you who find yourselves in a precarious situation through your dalliance with the carnal mind may this day shed it in this heart and in my heart. For my heart is great enough, as the heart of God, to consume it all.

“My heart this day is a cosmic incinerator, if you will, and it can consume if you let go. But remember, it is not a one-time event. You may decide to stop smoking now and put it into my heart, and the record will be consumed. Twenty-four hours from now you will meet the world momentum for which you have had a weakness and you will have to say:

“‘No! Thus far and no farther! I shove you back, you nicotine entity! Be bound by the power of my heart that is one with the heart of Saint Germain! You cannot touch me, for I AM the Infinite One! I live in the heart of God. There is no time and space here, and you may not dwell in infinity! And since I do not dwell where you are, I will not smoke today or tomorrow or forever. For I am in my House of Light, and the only smoke that is here is the sweet incense of El Morya with me!’...

“In that heart there is no desire for hashish, there is no desire for heroin. But if you stray from that heart and you have had a long habit, you may identify once again with the outer man or woman and the desiring and find yourself in the turbulent waters, sinking beneath the waves, crying out for the hand of Christ who will always extend to you that hand until you are safe and sound again in the heart of Infinity.

“You see, beloved ones, all desires of the human that you may have in this world can be surrendered. And when they are surrendered, the divine desiring of God comes into your life. For every human desire there is a divine desire that is legitimate, that is fulfilling, that will give to you whatever you thought you might get through human desiring but truly could never have or keep and much, much more. But it takes courage.”[33]

One student witnessed firsthand the miraculous intercession of Saint Germain in his life when he summoned the courage to ask the master for help to overcome an addiction to smoking. Here is his story:

“I had been a smoker for about fourteen years and had tried to quit unsuccessfully several times. On occasion I was able to go a few days without smoking. However, I would usually light up again, using some sort of invalid justification for continuing to smoke. It became increasingly more difficult for me to go without a cigarette, and I realized that I needed help to ‘break free.’

“During my studies, I learned that the astral forces work against those who smoke and unless you do the spiritual work, it can be increasingly difficult to quit. Each excuse I manufactured only added to the growing pile of invalid justifications. I picked up a video one night on ‘A Course in Self-Mastery’ with Saint Germain’s dictation ‘May You Pass Every Test.’ Saint Germain told us we could break habits by affirming that we would no longer allow ourselves to be tied to this or that habit. He said we needed to take a strong stand.

“Well, I was always good at taking stands, by God’s grace, so I thought ‘OK, I’ll try this.’ So I rewound the tape, listened to the dictation again, and when I felt that I was mentally ready to give it all I could, I walked outside into the night air. I took a deep breath, summoned the full fire of my being, concentrated as hard as I could and said with a loud voice, ‘I won’t take this any more! GET OUT OF ME! DO YOU HEAR? NOOOOOOWWW!!’

“Since I was straining, I had my eyes closed, and then the most incredible thing happened. I saw very clearly Saint Germain from the waist up in profile. He was drawing off of me into his heart chakra a thick black cloud that had been around me. I was so surprised to see this that I watched in total amazement as he took on that burden and instantaneously transmuted it with his heart flame. The scene disappeared, and I stood alone in the night again. Needless to say, I was stunned. That was the most incredible thing I had ever seen!

“The next day I had one slight urge to smoke. When I picked up a cigarette I couldn’t even tolerate holding it. From that day on, I have not smoked, and all residual desire diminished very quickly. I truly believe in the power of God to break any and all addictions. This experience taught me many things about my own determination and our alignment to God’s will whereby all things not of his world can be transmuted by our own application of his will to that end.

“I had quit drinking alcohol and coffee and had finally refrained from any indulgences in drugs ... but for me, smoking proved to be a tough one. I know that I received divine intercession from Saint Germain because I had put forth the prior effort and truly committed myself to cleaning up my act.... I owe Saint Germain my life and eternal thanks. Truly, any and all things are possible with God.”[34]

The Sponsorship of Saint Germain

The preceding story illustrates how an ascended master such as Saint Germain can help us meet the challenges of life. But we have to make the call and invite the master to enter. One way to have an ongoing relationship with Saint Germain is to join the Keepers of the Flame Fraternity, an outer organization that he founded.

This spiritual order commemorates the inner vow to keep the flame on behalf of all mankind. You do not have to leave other commitments to any organization or religion in order to join this fraternity. But when you become a Keeper of the Flame, the ascended master Saint Germain agrees to sponsor you and tutor your soul.

Keepers of the Flame also receive graduated monthly lessons in cosmic law dictated by the ascended masters to their messengers Mark and Elizabeth Clare Prophet.[35]

SECTION III

Words from the Master

Saint Germain Speaks

This section of the book contains a discourse given by the ascended master Saint Germain through his messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet.

God has always had messengers and prophets. For almost forty years, Elizabeth Clare Prophet has been a messenger of God, and throughout her career, she has received messages from many saints and angels, East and West, whom we know as the ascended masters.

The Role of the Messenger

In The Astrology of the Four Horsemen, Elizabeth Clare Prophet describes her role as messenger:

“My calling is to be a prophet of God. Prophet means one who speaks for God, hence a messenger. Coincidentally (although I don’t believe in coincidences), my name matches my calling. Prophet is the surname of my late husband and teacher, Mark L. Prophet. It was the family name that had been carried through generations from France to Ireland to Canada to Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.

“Mark was a prophet and a messenger, called by God through the ascended master El Morya to found The Summit Lighthouse in Washington, D.C., in 1958. He was and is the most amazing person I’ve ever met—the most humble, the most holy, the most human.

“We were together for twelve years, were married, had four children, wrote many books, lectured around the world and built our movement. And then he passed on in 1973, his soul now one with God, yet ever with me.

“In 1964 I received the ‘mantle’ of messenger, including gifts of the Holy Spirit. And throughout my ministry, by God’s grace, I have built upon the foundation of prophetic teachings already laid by my husband.

“As a messenger of God, I see myself as the servant of God’s light within you. And the servant is not greater than his lord.[36] My Lord is the Christ of Jesus and the Christ of you, who are one and the same. For as John the Beloved wrote, that Christ was and is ‘the true light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.’[37] Therefore, I come as a servant of that light—your light, my light, your Christ, my Christ.”[38]

Mrs. Prophet describes the process whereby she receives messages from God, the masters and angels:

“I receive this prophecy through the power of the Holy Spirit in the manner of the ancient prophets and apostles. When the transmission is about to take place, I enter a meditative state and attune with the LORD God or his representative. The LORD’s Presence or that of an ascended master, a cosmic being or an archangel comes upon me, and the words and the light flow in a power and a personality not my own.

“This congruency of my soul with the living Word of God I call a dictation, for the words are being dictated to me even as I am speaking them in the vibration of the divine speaker. It is truly a divine happening of which I am but the instrument. It is a gift of the Holy Spirit and not something I can make happen.... The only way to describe this experience is to say, in the words of the prophet: ‘The Spirit of the LORD God is upon me.’”[39]

The dictation you are about to read contains the words of the master. The words are his teaching, but they are also cups for his consciousness—his light and energy. The spiral of light within the words is for your quickening and spiritual initiation. As you read the words, ask for the Presence of the master Saint Germain to be with you and guide your understanding and help you to apply his teaching in your life. His teaching is vital to the times in which we live.

“May You Pass Every Test!”

by Saint Germain

Devotees of the flame of my heart, I hear you! And I AM here—not there, but here—here at the nexus of that cross of white fire, here where time and space meet and cancel each other out.

Here I AM in the heart of infinity. And where the divine spark is, there is infinity. Therefore, I greet you as the Infinite One and as infinite ones—one times one times one, ever the Infinite One.

Therefore, let the great circle of our oneness and our love cancel out all division, all misunderstanding, all ignorance, and every false testimony as in the case of the blind men and the elephant[40]—all giving varied reports of the same spectacle but never arriving at the point of Reality that is the heart: heart perspective!

I call you to that point. For centered in your heart, which is becoming my heart day by day, you can see all things as they are. For the true perspective of wisdom, anointed with love, enfired with the will to be all that God is, and blessed with the purity of the Mother—what else can there be out of this than the crystal prism?

I See Your Perspective of Freedom and I Come to Give You Another

Behold, I make all things new by the flame of the heart, by the vision of the heart, by the wisdom of the heart that is the endless stream of the endless Source.

O my beloved, I am come and I am joyous to be here, joyous to bask in the light of Helios and your own hearts’ dear love. I see your perspective of freedom and I come therefore to give you another.

May you pass every test!

Beloved hearts, in my retreat this is the salutation upon meeting and parting—not “God bless you,” but “May you pass every test!” Is this not commendable and noteworthy of the devotees of my heart who are determined to follow in my footsteps, not to make a rut in the road of life but rather to secure what the master has gained? A worthy cause indeed!

Beloved ones, I come to present to you, then, a crash course in passing every test. [applause]

Thank you, beloved ones, let us begin. For I am determined that this trek upward shall have been worth every inconvenience and every penny! [applause]

You remember the joke that is told by Morya and Kuthumi making their treks to the home of light, to the feet of the masters—Morya being so intense about getting there and Kuthumi a bit more peaceful. And when they had arrived and when they had returned, for all of the perspiration and energy expended by Morya, it was Kuthumi who retained the message of the master.

Thus, in all of your experiencing of the Path and all of that energy expended in getting here, I desire that the stillness of the moment shall provide you with a heart’s cup worth of flame and light and truly a blessing untold. It is my determination—because you love and love again and because you are determined—that you shall not return to your homes the same as when you arrived! But you shall truly find yourself a new creature after the violet flame.

The Reward for Love Is Great

Beloved ones, the reward for love is great. But those who deserve it often do not receive it because they are the ones who are the busy ones or the fighters—driving, working, serving. And therefore, let us pause together. Let us be still, then, in these lower vehicles and let us feel the chakras shining as the seven Elohim, shining as the sun and the stars!

Let us expand consciousness now. Let us increase the circle of the aura. Let us realize that we are not these lower bodies but we are God-free beings using these vehicles to accomplish an end.

The means is not the goal, but the end is the star itself appearing. And therefore, let us not allow our ways and means to compromise the goal or to cause us to tarry or lose sight of the goal. The goal is the star appearing, the star of Aquarius that has appeared over the sun of my birth.

O beloved ones, the true star is the herald of the coming of the devotee, the mighty I AM Presence of each one. Remember your star! And remember the star appeared in the hour of your physical birth. Should it not appear now in the hour of your new birth in the living Christ—Christ of Aquarius, Christ of Pisces, Christ of the twelve hierarchies of the Sun? All of these you are internalizing as the magnificence of the Great God Flame.

The Course of Perfecting the Human Is Not the Way of Overcoming

God in you is able! But do not, I pray you, adorn the human self, which the mortal is. As the grass, it is here today and gone tomorrow, and the mighty fire and the wind sweep through and it is no more.

Beloved ones, the course of perfecting the human is not the way. It is not the way of overcoming. Thus, if you are not interested in perfecting the human, you can just right now drop that pride in your human self! Just drop it on the floor as an old garment! Beloved ones, it is as an oily, torn undershirt that you have worn too long.

Do you not see, it does not matter? You are real God-free beings—divine beings now! You are immortal, and all else is illusion! Will you accept it? [“Yes!”]

Beloved ones, this messenger, as your Mother in form, does gaze upon you from year to year and rejoice in your victories and ofttime wonders and muses with me why, through all of the teachings given, you yet hang on to that supercilious consciousness of that human self.

You Do Not Have to Wait until the Hour of Death to Know Eternal Life

Beloved ones, I come, therefore, to deliver this message in consultation with the messengers and Morya and Helios as well to pierce now the veil in your belief in yourself as mortals! This is my God-determination, this is God’s will, and I am here in the full force of hierarch of the Aquarian age to wipe from the very screen of life the law of mortality itself, which is the same law that sustains the serpent consciousness! Now do you or do you not want to continue to operate under the law of mortality with those serpents? [“No!”]

Then, I say, let us be done with it. We are free spirits. You do not have to wait until the hour of death, so-called, to know eternal life. You are eternal here and now. This place is your eternal abode, and I speak not of finite coordinates but of this place as the point of the eye of the mind of God—the seat of your consciousness.

Find that seat now. Feel it in the base of the brain and in the spine. Feel it in your heart! Feel it in your soul! Feel it in all of your being!

That which you feel is God. It is God, I tell you! It is not some combination of physical senses. Nay! That awareness of God in yourself is something above and beyond the form, yet it registers on the form. It pulsates with life in the form. But the form is always the effect and the vehicle for experiencing that consciousness that has been, always shall be, is here and now the eternal God!

Let them say what they will. I will say: Ye are gods![41] And all of you are sons of the Most High—brilliant sons of light! Now let us roll up our sleeves and go about shedding all shadow that has been accepted as the singeing of the garment these long ages. Beloved ones, it is like burnt toast! You throw it out the window and let the birds have it! [applause]

May you pass every test.

Can you not see in this expression and my posture the person of Maitreya peeping through? I am his guest, speaking at his Mystery School on his behalf for his beloved and my own.

May you pass every test! It is Oriental, n’est-ce pas?[42]

How Do We Begin to Maintain God-Control?

Beloved hearts, how do we begin? How do we begin to maintain that God-control that allows for the rhythm of God to restore the balance before the human reaction—out of fear or anger or that teetering/tottering off balance?

Beloved hearts, the components are there in the dictations, the decree book, the Keepers of the Flame lessons. But, as it always is, the more vast the compendium of knowledge, the greater the requirement of the teacher to organize. Thus, I point to the Count-to-Nine Decree. The “Count-to-Nine” given in the full fire of your heart enables you to regain the command of your auric forcefield that has been impinged upon, pressed upon, penetrated, invaded.

Thus, understand: sometimes when you suddenly feel a disturbance—you are taken aback, you have a shock or a sudden reaction to the actions of injustice of another—one of the reasons you momentarily lose your balance is because the normal flow of the aura has been disturbed, as though you would suddenly agitate the waters.

Now, your aura is your sanctuary, and it is the sanctity of your God flame. Thus, before answering the demands of the carnal mind—the questioning, the praying for favors, or whatever—reestablish yourself. Speak quietly, softly and slowly. For in this way you will not engage into yourself the anger, the impetuosity, the upsetness of anyone around you.

You speak as I am speaking now: from the heart—from the seat of the heart, the point of the Buddha. You speak loud enough, in the sense of being strong and firm, so that the breath and the voice are not sinking like a shrinking violet of fear. You speak strong enough and firm enough and peaceful enough and powerful enough so that God may use your voice to still your own aura and the agitation or the fear or the excitement of another.[43]

Be the calm presence in a vortex of calamity and activity, beloved hearts, and learn the way of the power, the immense power of peace itself. Thus, beloved ones, you ought to know by heart the Count-to-Nine Decree.

The Tests Are Flying Full and Sure

You ought to realize that in a situation of upsetness it is necessary to take some deep breaths. For in the presence of anxiety, the heart begins to palpitate and people begin to breathe in a short-breath manner, thus adding to the absence of control.

You take a deep breath, you release it, you go to the heart, and you give no instantaneous answers, yes or no—no instantaneous reactions or solutions—but quietly turn within. There are many ways of handling this. If someone is ferocious like a mad dog, you may say, “Wait one minute, please. I shall return momentarily.” [applause]

You see, beloved ones, the tests are flying full and sure. We want you to experience the sense of mastery, of dominion, the enormous pleasure of having finished a day and dealt with that force, that driving force of irritation, and conquered and risen above every foible of the senses directed against your heart.

They would steal your life. They would take the flow of love between us. They would break the bond by any form of anger or outrage. And they will steal from you your sense of worthiness, your sense of the mantle of being the disciple of Sanat Kumara. When they can destroy your dignity and you begin to feel like a moth, then you will also behave like one. And till you regain your self-identity, I must pause and wait again, wondering just how long you will flit around the bulb of these serpent ones who have beguiled you into their auras momentarily.

The Soft Answer Turneth Away Wrath

Thus, beloved hearts, the soft answer turneth away wrath.[44] If someone is speaking to you in a loud and high-pitched manner, adjust the tone and answer with the God-command. Answer with helpfulness. Try to solve the problem. Try to show the best side of things. Provide emergency care when it is needed. Keep your wits about you. And don’t enter the vortex of another’s anxiety, else you will become confused.

Remember that anything that seeks to taunt you from the seat of the Buddha in the secret chamber of the heart must be noted as the enemy—not the person necessarily, for it is often a loved one, but the force attempting to use that one. Thus, it is your challenge to liberate that one as well as yourself from the human nonsense of the moment.

Center in the Heart and Wear Another Layer of Violet Flame

May you pass every test!

Unless you center in the heart, which is the central sun of your being, you may find yourself tumbling on the periphery of the aura, which touches the world consciousness. That point, that outer circle of the aura, should always be a very intense blue—a blue fire of protection, which is also outside the tube of light. Now you visualize the violet flame in the very center of the tube of light.

But I would make the point that when you are bristling with blue flame, this often antagonizes others because it is so powerful and brings out the worst in them. Thus, the better part of wisdom is to wear the kid glove—that is, to put another layer of violet flame outside the blue to be a calming effect, to consume that which may rub against the aura or come at you. And if it break through the violet flame, then you have the blue-flame wall, then you have the power of the tube of light. And if diplomacy does not work, there is always the strength of the shield of Archangel Michael!

In the still and sweetness of the light, I AM come.

Are You Ready or Laid Back?

Often it is a matter of stance. How do you hold yourself? Are you in readiness for the next delivery of God or thrust of the sinister force, or are you, as they say these days, “laid-back”? If you slouch, if you are laid-back, wide open, lounging around—the TV set is on, the ads are bombarding their rock beat, the cat is meowing, the dog is barking, the children are screaming, the phone is ringing—how do you expect, then, to keep your cool? It is a setup, but you have allowed it.

Now, you can maintain your calm in the midst of these things but not with a laid-back attitude, for any moment the potatoes on the stove will burn and everyone will be in an argument and, if you don’t watch out, yourself included. And then what have we accomplished?—a lost hour for Saint Germain and the vital work of Helios and Vesta; your own sense, “I will never become a good chela. I will never master my life.”

But, beloved ones, it’s a matter of one, two, three, four, five—a few simple requirements: Do not allow the family to be bombarded from all directions. Do not allow all these things to be taking place at once. Strive for communion with the heart. Feed the cat, put out the dog, turn off the TV set, make sure all is safe on the stove, and enjoy that circle of communion with God-determination that each member of your family or household or friends shall have the opportunity, by your loving presence, to express something very important from the heart.

Educate Others by Your Example

Now we come to the point of education, the education of your soul and, by your example, the education of others. There is unseemly conversation that quickly can accelerate into argument. Avoid, then, that which is controversial when you already know you disagree on a point.

Why continue the argument? Each one having a right to his own opinion, let us discuss another avenue. For by another avenue, an approach to God or to art or to science, we may come to a point of agreement. Not as compromise but as agreement do we build the kingdom of God. Thus, we find the fundamental points of agreement and build on these.

Whenever there is agreement in a principle of God, a nucleus is formed—a bond of love. And that bond of love actually begins to consume the area of disagreement and error that may be in the mind of your friend or may be in your own mind, for we ourselves must see our own misconceptions, n’est-ce pas?

Perhaps you have noticed on a number of occasions that by your words and actions you may have caused some great grief and burden. You may have brought in the dark clouds through negativity, pessimism, criticism, barking and clamoring and having your way. And on another occasion, by doing what you know so well how to do, everyone has come away feeling good, feeling satisfied, feeling equally loved and equally important, and enjoying supremely a soul-satisfying evening or experience together. Thus, you see, the carnal mind takes pride in itself, in its ability to control and hurt and put down and best another, and to rise and puff up as the puffing up of the snake.

Go Within the Heart and Send Love to Each One

Yes, you can do these things, but I admonish you to choose not to do them—to not attempt to be the most important person in the room or the one who wins all the arguments or makes all the brilliant points. Far better to go within the heart, send love to each one, and encourage by your conversation some precious point of wisdom or expression to be forthcoming from another because you make it easy, you provide a point of relaxation and warmth. And someone who perhaps has had a much harder life than you, who has been silenced perhaps by great darkness through loved ones, can finally feel at home and free to speak without being criticized.

Beloved ones, assume that those who come to you are injured and maimed and scarred, for they are. They have been in many battles of life. If you find them ornery or thick-skinned, this is a defense mechanism they have set up for a very deep hurt. Heal the hurt, not in such an obvious manner as self-proclaiming oneself as the healer—“Now I am going to do this for you, now I am going to do that for you”—but simply do it in the quietness of your heart. Learn to pray for people and not to prey upon them. [applause]

Apply to Almighty God for the Healing of the Soul

It is true, beloved ones. Much of the hurt, much of the cruelty expressed in the world today is the means of the individual wrapping up again and again that old wound, that sharpness. And thus, it becomes a very important point of the Law to apply to Almighty God for the healing of one’s soul of the need to be aggressive toward any part of life.

You see, mortals have these needs, humans may have them; for both are without the divine spark. But the sons and daughters of God, the children of the light have no need to partake in the world’s fare of psychology, just as you do not partake of the food that is served in some quarters. You have long ago transcended the need for that type of intake.

The Cause of the Failure of Many Tests

Much of the cause of your failure of many tests is that you have not stopped to rid yourself of the human habit to express that aggravation, that arrogance—all coming from the need of the carnal mind to assert itself. It is not real! It has no power to dominate your personality! I speak directly to you, and all of you know whereof I speak! And I tell you: the promise of your ascension will never be compromised by me, but it can be compromised by your free will!

You must listen to me. There is a need to change by the will of the heart, by a heart that loves enough to change because others are still suffering from a dishonest expression that you periodically give vent to—dishonest because it does not praise God in the individual, it does not rejoice in his overcoming but still retains that defiance that will put down another.

I Champion Your Soul’s Path of Victory

Beloved hearts, I will stand, and I will stand for eternity, to champion your soul’s path of victory and the ascension. Many of you who find yourselves in a precarious situation through your dalliance with the carnal mind may this day shed it in this heart and in my heart. For my heart is great enough, as the heart of God, to consume it all.

My heart this day is a cosmic incinerator, if you will, and it can consume if you let go. But remember, it is not a one-time event. You may decide to stop smoking now and put it into my heart, and the record will be consumed. Twenty-four hours from now you will meet the world momentum for which you have had a weakness and you will have to say:

No! Thus far and no farther! I shove you back, you nicotine entity![45] Be bound by the power of my heart that is one with the heart of Saint Germain! You cannot touch me, for I AM the Infinite One! I live in the heart of God. There is no time and space here, and you may not dwell in infinity! And since I do not dwell where you are, I will not smoke today or tomorrow or forever. For I am in my House of Light, and the only smoke that is here is the sweet incense of El Morya with me! [applause]

Each Time You Conceive of Sin, You Lose Protection

Thus, may you pass every test.

Understand the law I reveal to you. Sin can only be committed in a finite consciousness or in the finiteness of time and space. The moment sin is conceived, the conceiver of the sin is no longer a part of eternity.

Thus, when Archangel Michael cast out the fallen ones out of heaven, he was ratifying the law of their own being that they set in motion by the spirit of pride: “I will become as God. I will not worship the living Christ, but I will be worshiped!” This was their vow. Instantaneously, they lost the protection of the circle of the One. Thus, in casting them out, Archangel Michael and his legions were the instantaneous representatives of cosmic law.

Each and every time you begin to conceive of sin, an act of sin, you lose the protection of the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood. And you need to know when you stray from the Law of Truth. And it is because the thought and the feeling is enslaving that Jesus said to Judas, “That which thou doest, do quickly”[46]—let the consciousness of sin become the act of sin so that you may repudiate it and repent and be saved.

Now, we of the Great White Brotherhood do not recommend that you indulge the fantasies of the sinful sense, but rather that you realize that the bird of prey of sin may come and lodge in your aura and you may entertain it as a delicious idea for weeks and years and never free yourself from the desire to engage in this or that.

And now and again that desire becomes so impelling that you fulfill it and commit the sin and see no dire consequence thereof. And you do it again and again, not realizing that you are binding yourself with cords of limitation—limitation that one day becomes old age, disease and death.

Let not the absence of the hand of God instantaneously upon you when you err give you the idea that the law of karma is not irrevocable, for I tell you, it is. And we have all bound ourselves by that law, and we have all liberated ourselves by the same law. And that law is just! And may the just men made perfect by love[47] use the law wisely to their advantage, which advantage ought to be the liberation of the light of the heart that will insure you great gain in all octaves.

Surrender All Desires of the Human

And therefore, let us quell the subtle vibration of ambition that you do not recognize and, therefore, I admonish the messenger to point out to you one by one. For ambition in itself is a hideous monster, tricking you all the way to trust the human consciousness instead of to get God first and, in getting him, to find a cornucopia of treasure and wisdom and light and abundance and divine love ever flowing.

Beloved ones, if you remove yourselves from time and space and always find the center of the cross, you will dwell forevermore in the house of the Lord, the secret chamber of the heart, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, whose heart I have made my own, imploring that Christ and therefore intensifying the purple fiery heart in his honor.

In that heart there is no desire for hashish, there is no desire for heroin. But if you stray from that heart and you have had a long habit, you may identify once again with the outer man or woman and the desiring and find yourself in the turbulent waters, sinking beneath the waves, crying out for the hand of Christ who will always extend to you that hand until you are safe and sound again in the heart of infinity.

You see, beloved ones, all desires of the human that you may have in this world can be surrendered. And when they are surrendered, the divine desiring of God comes into your life. For every human desire there is a divine desire that is legitimate, that is fulfilling, that will give to you whatever you thought you might get through human desiring but truly could never have or keep and much, much more. But it takes courage.

Thus, if you would retain the desire to control others (which is very prevalent in the human race), the desire to have those things that are not ordained and on and on, but you desire to give up those desires that make you sick and uncomfortable, you will be walking a tightrope of the human consciousness, trying to take the best of it and to leave the worst and yet not really willing to forsake the totality of it or the whole ball of wax, as we have said. It is a precarious position and I can only admonish, for you have free will.

Every experience in life can be transmuted and transcended to become a divine experience—though physical, though actual, though down-to-earth, though a part of what that truly golden-age consciousness can be. Thus, it is not wrong to desire happiness, to desire the family of God, to desire your own fulfillment or education or God-success. Truly, no thing will God withhold from you when you use legitimate means of arriving at the goal.

Fear is what binds you to the alternative path and method. Thus, I say, drop those fears! Let God show you how happy you can be in the fullness of his love—how you can have these things in the highest sense, glorify his name, pass that human consciousness through the flame, and still retain an individuality that is happy, joyous, hard-working, ever-learning, striving and a joy to be with because you will be the one who unlocks the mysteries for others. The mystery of happiness itself written all over your face can be divined by those who meet you by watching how you live.

Cease, then, cease from toying with the idea of unreality! Cease from the idea that you have ever been enslaved. The slaves of death must live in a consciousness of death! Now let us remove the octave of the consciousness of death. Let us remove that plane. If it ceases to be, will you cease to be?

Why God Does Not Cancel Out the Astral Plane

Take the astral plane for existence—nothing permanent, nothing reliable, all illusion, endless explorations of matter scenes that are changing like a kaleidoscope, entertaining for an ‘infinity’ that is an imitation of the real Infinity. The labyrinth of the human consciousness—many dwell in it. As for me, and in my life, I long ago canceled it out, and I have suffered no loss; for I had long before consumed and replaced the astral debris with the victory of the Christ consciousness.

You see why God does not cancel out the astral plane? Because a part of you is still there—records of the past, a sense of life expectancies and insurance policies and actualities and possibilities and “When I die, this will happen.”

You see, beloved ones, some people actually consider themselves evolving toward death, moving ever closer to the final experience that they dread with their whole life. Well, were we to cancel out that plane for them, so much of them would cease to be, there would be nothing left that could be transmuted and that could rise and could take dominion over it!

Thus, the only place where the consciousness of death and the astral plane can be canceled out is in the point of the will of the chela in this octave! Only you can decide:

“It is no more! I shall weep no more—yesterday, today or tomorrow! I shall weep no more about any human experience!”—that is, in the sense of self-pity or condemnation, for the tear that is shed with joy and compassion is not the weeping of the weeping entity.

When you decide it is done, and you decide with the full power of your I AM Presence that you are willing to wrestle with the old momentum and not allow that beast to rise from the dead at any time, when you will plunge the sword of the Word, and the spoken Word, into it, when you will wrestle with every temptation to breathe upon it the breath of life again and take it up again—I tell you, beloved ones, so many angels will come to assist you that as you walk the earth it will be as though a cloud of glory surrounded you—so many angels will come to reinforce the determination of the sons and daughters of God to be free.

Cosmic Reinforcements Are Waiting

Cosmic reinforcements are waiting. You must not be discouraged and say: “Well, this is the way I am. Mother knows the way I am—she takes me the way I am. And I have tried before, I’ve never been able to overcome this, and so God will just have to take me the way I am!”

Well, beloved ones, no louder voice did pride ever have, looming and glaring at the soul that has been silenced by the heavy tread of the boot of those who are the self-proclaimed independent ones, not realizing they have been singed by Lucifer himself. For he is the one who said, “I am who I am! I am more important than the Son of God, and God will have to ordain that his sons worship me, else I will rebel.” And he did.

Well, the problem we have today in this circle of lightbearers is that there is not much farther down that anyone can be cast in this day and age than to walk the physical octave. And therefore, though you think the angel has not bound you and removed you from God’s glory by your defiance, it in fact has happened.

And yet, you say to yourself, “Nothing has touched me. I’m all right. Look at me! I’m sitting here among these devotees as one of them, but I have my own way of living my life independent of that strenuous path that some self-styled chelas have taken to themselves.”

Well, beloved ones, do not point the finger at those who are the self-sacrificing ones, for you know not the karma they balance or the assignment from inner levels. They have read the record of their life and they know what it will take to overcome and be victorious. And they are also a signpost to allow you to see that there is a sainthood to be pursued. And when you see the humble chela, you may imitate the Christ in that one but not become attached to the outer personality.

This is the age of freedom. No one may tap you on the shoulder and say, “Here, here! You must do better.” We do not have a physical, embodied shepherd for every single soul, one on one.

You Have the Teaching—You Are Expected to Apply It

You have the teaching. You are expected to apply it. You are expected to make the call to be shown why you do not pass every test. You are expected to apply what has been given and ask for prayer and support when you wrestle with the beast you have created that has grown much larger than yourself so that your soul feels the towering of a monster before it and must have the reinforcement of the lineage of the Great White Brotherhood.

I can tell you that the messenger has never knowingly turned down a request for a call. And if it has come to pass that she has not given a call, it has occurred that the Holy Christ Self of the messenger has made that call. And thus, none have gone without recourse to the flame of the Mother, which she bears in our name.

Thus, those who say, “I will not awaken the sleeping Buddha. I will not bother the Mother. This is one thing I have to do for myself because I have done this thing wrong for so long and now I am going to do it right....” You see, beloved ones, you engage in the lie of nonhierarchy. They deny the chain of being and they get you to deny you are a part of the eternal chain of God.

The higher helps the lower. As you accept help in humility, you can extend help. If you do not receive from the one above you, you cannot give to the one below you whose progress is utterly stopped because you yourself have stopped.

You see the pride. Some do not like to think they are dependent upon others. Learn to be receivers of our grace and the grace of a chela for whom you have had disdain. For the prayers of that one whom you think to be beneath you may be the salvation of your soul.

Revere God and let him take care of the human and do not create a false hierarchy in your mind, a panoply of all persons you know—some you place on the highest rung and some on the lowest in your system of judgment. And then you seek the company of those whom you think to be the important people who can somehow add to your stature. This is failing tests, and it leads to a great debacle as the house comes tumbling down that you have built through establishing contacts, associations, being a part of that illusory society, et cetera, et cetera.

One day the world must always turn against the living Christ. And I do not think that any among you would consciously turn down the light of your Christ consciousness to be accepted by men, yet some of you do this unconsciously to avoid the challenge or the hurt or the public criticism. Beloved ones, you can only go so far with this little game as you fit yourself in and out of society’s cliques. Sooner or later they will make demands upon you, and sooner or later you will realize that you just compromised your soul and your relationship to me to be popular with some potentate.

Be the Presence of Peace, Comfort and Wisdom

Think about it, beloved ones. The tests are lost because of an absence of forethought, of looking objectively at a situation as though you were on the ceiling looking down upon that meeting that you are attending. Look at the group of people—look through the eye of God—at the conglomerate of forces and their juxtaposition, and say to yourself, “How do I really wish to figure in that configuration, that astrology, of those personages?”

And the best way to figure, beloved ones, is to be in their midst the presence of peace, of comfort, of wisdom if it is asked or desired—but not one that locks arms with the human consciousness, forming legal partnerships, becoming parts of groups or corporations or vast entities whereby, because legally you have wed yourself to it, you now become a bearer of the karma of that entity, that corporate entity (and there are many kinds and associations).

I do not say you cannot become members of this and that, but realize that, in the ultimate sense of the word, a member of the Great White Brotherhood (which you are or may aspire to be by becoming true disciples of the law of love) gives allegiance first and foremost to that Brotherhood. The tests will inevitably come of allegiance and of defending the right of the ascended masters and their chelas to be on planet Earth.

Now, if you do not desire your name to be associated with us, we will help you still all that we can. But I must inform you that sooner or later your disavowal of association with us must also be our disavowal of the living Christ and light we may impart to you: “He that denieth me before men, him must I deny before the Father.”[48] It is one of those laws that none can break.

Crossing the Abyss between the Human Will and the Divine Will

Thus, you see, between the human will and the human desire and the divine will and the divine desire, there is an abyss to be crossed. Its name is time and space. It is governed by the law of mortality. You can take the route of the labyrinth. You can spend another thousand or ten thousand years or a million gingerly stepping in and out of the caves and caverns, underground and through the astral plane, seeking earthly treasure and not realizing that the Divine is practically on the tip of your nose.

Heaven offers you all, but it says, “You cannot bring with you that which is unreal.” I advise you to take an apple a day, not the whole tree—one piece of fruit. Assimilate the apple—a virtue, a portion of God’s consciousness. And by assimilation of this body and blood of God you will displace and find consumed in your life the old necessities of the carnal mind.

Thus, not by struggle but by slipping into God’s kingdom little by little will you find the key to the joyous path that now truly does displace the via dolorosa. The “sorrowful way” comes only to the one who has not surrendered. As soon as you surrender, you are free. That is the key.

When You Want to Be Like God, You Shall Be

This is my crash course in passing every test. Take each problem and solve it, and do not try to solve a million problems all at once. Be logical and seek the Word and the teaching. It is all there.

We have had a twenty-five-year mission and more with these messengers. I could not give it to you all in one dictation, but I can place it in a capsule, a capsule of light as it were, with a timed release. But it is the release of eternal cycles, and it shall come through the flame in your heart, as my flame with your own, supporting transmutation around your threefold flame, allows you to awaken in the likeness of God.

There is an awakening unto light and love. There is an awakening unto freedom. It is truly the gift of the holy angels.

Beloved ones, I leave you with this pearl:

When you want to be like God, you shall be!

I thank you. [standing ovation, prolonged applause]

Count-to-Nine Decree

by the Ascended Master Cuzco

In the name of the beloved mighty victorious Presence of God, I AM in me, my very own beloved Holy Christ Self, the Saviour Jesus Christ and the servant-sons in heaven, beloved Archangel Michael, beloved Lanello, the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood and the World Mother, elemental life—fire, air, water, and earth! I decree:

(Visualize the white light filling the ovoid of the aura)

Come now by love divine,
Guard thou this soul of mine,
Make now my world all thine,
God’s light around me shine.

(Visualize a band of white fire around the solar plexus)

I count one,
It is done.
O feeling world, be still.
Two and three,
I AM free,
Peace, it is God’s will.

Visualize a band of white fire around the neck and throat chakra)

I count four,
I do adore
My Presence all divine.
Five and six,
O God, affix
My gaze on thee sublime.

(Visualize a band of white fire around the head and third eye)

I count seven,
Come, O heaven,
My energies take hold.
Eight and nine,
Completely thine,
My mental world enfold.

(Visualize the white light encircling all of the chakras and the four lower bodies)

The white-fire light now encircles me,
All riptides are rejected;
With God’s own might around me bright
I AM by love protected.

I accept this done right now with full power. I AM this done right now with full power. I AM, I AM, I AM God-life expressing perfection all ways at all times. This which I call forth for myself I call forth for every man, woman, and child on this planet.
