The path of service as a means to finding the allness of God has been well outlined. Let us, therefore, study the best method for attaining conscious immortality as an adjunct to loving service.
Blessed ones, the threefold flame, which is the seat of your life and consciousness, has been too little understood. This tri-unity of Power, Wisdom, and Love functions as one: wherever one quality manifests, the other two must follow if you are to express and enjoy the fullness of Christ-good.
The balancing of these Christly qualities is the present major goal for our students. This is accomplished through balancing the threefold flame, which you may visualize as a single sacred fire having three 'plumes' resembling a fleur-de-lis, each plume focusing one of the primary God-qualities of the Trinity. To increase the size of the threefold flame remains a secondary goal; for unless balance is first achieved, it would only become more unwieldy.
Power (focused in the blue plume), Wisdom (focused in the yellow plume), and Love (focused in the pink plume) are related magnificently to the angelic radiation of faith, hope, and charity and to the light of the Father, the life of the Son, and the love of the Holy Spirit. In fact, these interrelated flame-symbols of triune action focus the personification of the Holy Trinity within you.
Now, as Saint Germain has told you, "Light is the alchemical key."1 Hence, your comprehension and expansion of the elements of your Light (which is indeed your Power) is the key to spiritual magnificence and immortal Life, guarded by the perfection of immortal Wisdom and Love.
It so happens that the expansion of divine Light is a spiritually scientific activity. For this reason I am going to speak carefully on this subject (both here and in our classes which you attend at 'inner levels' on the etheric plane at the Royal Teton Retreat). It is my desire that all may benefit from the simplicity of this release and that its blessing be not confined to scholars of God's word who love to hear of holy things, as I do.
Consider for a moment: the core of minute particles of material substance is composed of light which emanates from the white-fire nucleus of the atom. This light is directed from the heart of God in the Great Central Sun to the border kingdom of God in the spherical and peripheral world of so-called matter.
It is important for you to realize that the natural flow of this sustaining power is administered by the Divine Intelligence inherent within creation and directed by specific hierarchical manifestations - such as cosmic beings, Elohim, angelic hosts, Nature devas, elemental spirits as well as exalted man (ascended and unascended adepts) - who have attained by grace various states and stages of control over natural law.
You see, there is a Sun behind the sun. There is a unifying essence behind outer manifestation which is wholly spiritual and an immediate part of God yet contains the formula for the coalescing of matter, molecule by molecule. The great Master Saint Germain has often used the term Light to denote this causative aspect of the Deity, as have others of our Brotherhood. However, discrimination is needed, for just as there are people and people, so there is light and there is Light.
Even so, God has retained in his great heart of love, securely locked within the Tree of Life (Causal Body), the mysterious fruit (God consciousness) of that Tree which (when divinely partaken of) does make the Son of man, as the manifestation of God, to live forever.2 Yet the deepest mysteries of past ages can be understood through a simple explanation if you will give us your undivided attention - for beloved Jesus and I desire you to become as we are by the assimilation of the 'body' and the 'blood' of our teaching.
Divine Love holds the answer to the release of immortality, and anyone who manifests any feeling less than love for all of Life, or any part of Life, is denying himself the secret elixir of immortal Life. Man can no more deceive or thwart the Great Law than he can rise from the earth and ascend bodily into heaven without the assistance of the Almighty and the release of the spiritual energies of his God Self.
The earnest student must believe us when we say that so long as a trace of human feelings - mild dislike, including subtle jealousies or hatreds - remains in his consciousness, he will be unable to summon the great love magnet of the Central Sun to assist him in obtaining reentrance into the paradise of God where the Tree of Life spreads its all-enfolding branches of beneficence. The Law makes no exceptions.
When the necessary purification of consciousness is accomplished through holy service to Life and a concerted decree effort, and the candidate stands purged by the violet flame, stripped by Divine Reality (the Holy Spirit) of every trace of impure thought and feeling, he will be allowed to stretch forth his hand to receive the fruit of the Tree of Life.
This initiation is given by the Great Initiator - our Beloved Teacher - the Buddha Lord Maitreya. This `first fruit' is the conferment of the power to direct Light's energy (henceforth magnetized by the initiate from his own Sun Source, the I AM THAT I AM) into the atomic structure of his four lower bodies at will.
This Light of God - which is the only light that never fails - then rushes into the original channels where the all-sustaining power formerly flowed. There, through its self-luminous, intelligent quality, the light transmutes, thread by thread, the overlay of the old energy paths and the old garment of the human consciousness as it weaves (literally, cell by cell) the transcendent perfection of the seamless garment of the living Christ.
By divine grace, some special souls upon earth demonstrate certain phases of Christ-accomplishment without passing through the transfiguring experience of which I am speaking. This is because the great Law of Love in its mercy responds to people's hearts, whatever their state of consciousness, releasing them into greater Life, by merit, as a parent would help a child climb a stairway to the stars.
Needless to say, it is the conscious victory of a living Christ in action, scientifically demonstrated, which every disciple of beloved Saint Germain, of Mother Mary and Jesus (and of all the Ascended Masters of the Great White Brotherhood) must seek to express in his daily living.
It is beggary and paupery for men to deny the greatness that is within them and to seek without for that Light of God that sustains their very Life. The grace of heaven must be focused within the true domain of one's being and individuality, and here I speak both metaphorically and actually.
The power of the Light behind all light, the unfailing Light of God, must be invoked and focused in man ere he can rise in consciousness until he actually ascends into that light realm of freedom which is the heavenly home of everyone who has successfully passed earth's tests and has dared to step beyond the veil of human ignorance. Thus, the glorious flame of illumined obedience to divine Law must express the fullness of Love's immortality within man as his thought and aspiration rise toward God.3
While the snares of astral and psychic densities continue to pour out a vaporous stream of appeals to human vanity, beloved Saint Germain holds forth, as does every ascended being, the image of the immortal reality of divine Selfhood as the goal of every life. To point the way to the attainment of this goal is the greatest service anyone can render.
Proceeding, then, with the transmutation layer by layer of his human creation (karma), the one who aspires to the office and the divine calling "Ministering Servant" is in the very best posture to concentrate on balancing the integrated action of his threefold flame. This he will do by calling for and affirming in all his affairs a well-rounded manifestation of God's consciousness of Power, Wisdom, and Love - his to command by free will according to his own discriminating intelligence.
First, he will take care that any and all acts, including both words and deeds (which always require energy, power, determination, and will to accomplish), are not compromised by human willfulness, rebellion, pride, anger, aggressiveness, ambition or any such abuses of the First Ray of God's powerful Will.
Second, he will balance all his activities by the necessary application of Wisdom's objectivity and equanimity - preceded by forethought, study, research, analysis, and careful consideration that each thrust for a purpose is constructive, well-organized, and of benefit or gain to some part of Life.
Third, he will test every move, project, or plan by the measure of God's Love, purifying motive and intent with charity and compassion, especially examining it for its practicality - "Will it work?" He will enfold his actions with creativity, devotion, carefulness, unselfishness, and gratitude, giving the glory to God and taking care that the work or word contains the essentials to bear fruit, multiplying grace and increasing the Christ consciousness on earth.
Continuing to use these standards as the guiding principle for right action, he will always weigh his intentions by the simple formula: right reason (Wisdom), right motive (Power), right cause (Love). With consistent striving toward a well thought-out goal and a developed plan of action - realistic and attainable - he may then intensify his mantras to the violet flame, alternating with his prayer to his Holy Christ Self to "Balance the Threefold Flame in Me!"4 Lastly and importantly, he will seal his day - his words and his works, every blow struck for the LORD - with the blue flame of protection from Saint Michael (Archangel of the First Ray).
I trust that every sincere student of this Light having Christ-discrimination will recognize his responsibility as a servant of Truth to magnify honor, sincerity, integrity, and transcendence within himself and each individual he contacts, in preference to spectacular psychic phenomena and predictions based on astral readings. A thousand glamorous, glittering snares need have no effect upon you, blessed ones, if you will only hold fast to the forte of your true being and its wondrous reality.
Use, then, the flame of Love to purify your feeling world of mortal sense-consciousness and weave a garment of immortality while abiding temporarily in the vale of human sorrow and tears (samsara, the condition of world karma). Thus, as Jesus lived, so shall ye - "in the world, but not of it."5
Overcome all outer frustrations by the intensity of your fervent faith and the overcoming strength of that faith. Let no one deny you the power of God unto salvation. Remember, conscious immortality is dependent upon the power of Love in action in your world; and the release of that power into your world is best accomplished after infinite Love has stripped you of all self-limiting human qualities.
Then divine Wisdom can, and she surely shall, expand her action into the forcefield of your individuality and endow you with such illumination as to make you in truth God-taught. The divine whisper will softly speak your name as God's identification of your Spirit, "I AM," and the meaning thereof will be apparent to you as the soundless Sound, the guiding Light, the presence of Reality manifesting in you, free from the facade of human vice or virtue and all pride in self. Then shall you rejoice in the creation of your own immortal consciousness: "The LORD God saw the creation which he had made and, behold, it was very good!"
In the spirit of infinite peace and goodwill, let all amplify the power of Light within the cells of their whole being. Draw and magnetize the Light, but know that this Light is the balanced action of divine Love, Wisdom, and Power - teaching, cherishing, and directing you always into the paths of righteousness for His name's sake, I AM. How else, blessed ones, can man "be still and know that I AM God"?
In his early instruction, Saint Germain advocated the visualization of Light surrounding and enveloping the body for a period of fifteen minutes of intense concentration.6 Too many people use such valuable spiritual exercises for a while, and then because they begin to "feel so good," they forget the source of their blessings and do not sustain their momentum.
Yet, magnificent beings you are - and immortal beings, too! Remember, the Ascended Masters were once as you are. We are pulling for you, one and all, to make your ascension and to forever find your eternal freedom in the Light.
The intense action of divine Light released into your use from the heart of your beloved I AM Presence, then freely charged by you with the Wisdom and Love of your developing threefold flame, is the finest elixir obtainable. From this substance of immortality every potion of a spiritually energizing elixir has been compounded. Take this cup in my name and drink ye all of it. Drink into the kingdom of God.
Beloved ones, there must be a conscious "taking in" of spiritual energy. Every allegory and symbol pertaining to the divine mysteries has pointed to this truth. It is the way of God unto the partaking of his kingdom, it is the communion of the saints, it is the self-chosen Path that imbibes conscious immortality and Life with a sense of holiness equaled only by the Christ.
Behold, I say ye are wholly God's!
"For the second step: Make certain of being undisturbed, and after becoming very still, picture and feel your body enveloped in a dazzling white Light. The first five minutes while holding this picture, recognize and feel intensely the connection between the outer-self and your Mighty God within, focusing your attention upon the heart center and visualizing it as a golden sun.
"The next step is the acknowledgment: `I now joyously accept the fullness of the Mighty God Presence - the pure Christ.' Feel the great brilliancy of the `Light' and intensify it in every cell of your body for at least ten minutes longer.
"Then close the meditation by the command: I AM a child of the Light - I love the Light - I serve the Light - I live in the Light - I AM protected, illumined, supplied, sustained by the Light, and I bless the Light.
"Remember always: `One becomes that upon which he meditates' and since all things have come forth from the Light, Light is the Supreme Perfection and God-Control of all things.
"Contemplation and adoration of the `Light' compels illumination to take place in the mind - health, strength, and order to come into the body - and peace, harmony, and success to manifest in the affairs of every individual who will really do it, and seeks to maintain it. ...
"If you will practice this exercise faithfully and feel it in every atom of your mind and body, with deep, deep intensity, you will receive abundant proof of the tremendous activity, power, and perfection that abides and is forever active within the Light. When you have experienced this, for even a short time, you will need no further proof. You become your own proof. The Light is the Kingdom. Enter into it and BE - at peace. Return to the Father's house. After the first ten days of using this exercise, it is well to do it three times a day - morning, noon, and night." See Godfre Ray King, Unveiled Mysteries, 3rd ed. (Chicago: Saint Germain Press, 1939), pp. 11-13.

The flowing of the streams of immortal power with grace and transmutative love is an eternal process guarded and protected by those magnificent beings assigned by the Most High God, the Mighty I AM Presence, to that specific service to life. I am come this day in the radiance of my beloved consort, Lord Zadkiel, to charge into your world a mounting understanding grace concerning the use of the sacred fire.
As I am speaking to you this morning the crystalline light rays of Archangel Zadkiel have intensified a matrix within this room designed to give you greater comfortability and grace in moving about in these dense spheres where so much Light is needed to penetrate that substance which mankind has misqualified. By placing their attention upon wrong things mankind have as it were glued themselves to human concepts. Consequently, they find it to be a most difficult problem at times to extricate themselves from those outer world conditions which surround them. The Great Hosts of Light by their tangible service to life manifest hope to mankind, hope that will free them from the oppression and shadow of enclosing darkness. May they be instilled thereby with the desire to weave in peace the immaculate pattern of their own destiny and find that harmonious expression which will enable them to be true Sons and Daughters of God.
Beloved ones, the magnificent etheric temple of our Lord Zadkiel remains today over the isle of Cuba as a great focus of transmutation. It is, of course, most regrettable that conditions below on that beautiful island should be so much the result of mankind's desecration of the great Light of God that beats and sustains their hearts. I trust that you will understand that the angels of the violet fire are very active throughout the world. Yet, due to the misuse of human will we have not been able to free the people of Cuba from the intensity of the crystallized control of the communist forces which today black out almost completely in the minds of the Cuban people the true understanding of their being.
Mankind today have demonstrated entirely too much apathy and lethargy concerning this desecration of Light near the bastion of freedom in America. It is also regrettable that the karma of this apathy must descend upon the innocent. And we hope, therefore, that mankind and especially those enlightened chelas of the Ascended Masters will awaken before it is entirely too late and use with greater intensity the violet flame from our temple upon the Cuban people. This action is so needed, beloved ones. It is so necessary to have advocates in human form who will faithfully make the calls for the release of that energy to dissolve and purify the recalcitrant energies which would thwart every holy purpose.
We have enough energy in our focus and retreat, beloved ones, to release the people of the whole earth, if it were called into action. Do you not think it lamentable, beloved ones, that mankind do not call the Light into action enough? The calls for the violet flame, invocation after invocation, made by those blessed ones who hear my voice are so much appreciated. Beloved ones, it is necessary that the number of individuals be increased who will give these decrees rhythmically, faithfully, and sincerely to the light of God for the release of that energy that will free the world from all the oppression of the ages.
Your recent convocation held here in Washington was rewarded by the efforts of men embodied and ascended and by the angelic hosts with a tremendous outpouring of divine love which cannot be measured by human standards. As a result of this love there is an intensification of spiritual power upon the planet. Yet many of those cancerous centers of human forcefields of misqualified energy have remained and continue to blight the body politic of the world, and the communist hordes continue to drive their aggressive intentions toward the people of America and the free world. These conditions have not been altered significantly.
However, there has been a great strengthening that has taken place among the democratic peoples of the world and this is well and good. There has also been accomplished one significant act for the peoples of Russia, a stirring in many of their hearts of faith in the deity. Many today are secretly awakening to their individual need to pursue some measure of spiritual devotion. Therefore, rejoice that fruition has come about as a result of this class and that many people have been the beneficiaries thereof.
We trust, then, that you will gratefully understand how this has been accomplished and prepare yourselves for a new thrust during the July class. If you will consider the power that has been given unto you, you will realize that it will be possible at that time to cut free the people of Cuba and the world, to a far greater degree than they presently are, from the domination of forces which have but one end, to deprive them of the glorious liberty which would permit them to understand how to worship God in freedom and in truth and find thereby the freedom and brotherhood of Christ expression which the Great Law requires.
Beloved ones, not since the passing of the righteous Abel (Gen. 4:8) has so much discord been thrust upon humanity as has been unleashed during the past few decades on earth. The scene currently being dramatized in the world arena may be likened unto a great threshing floor, and mankind need the violet flame as never before. Therefore as I am speaking to you today I am asking the violet flame angels to take our entire momentum of the violet flame to convey it to all portions of this planet as a mantle gossamer thin, and yet so potent and so powerful in radiation that it may enfold and seal the earth in a violet flame cape for such a time as the Great Cosmic Law will permit. This will start a dissolving action in many parts of the world which hitherto has not been accomplished.
This widespread blessing will mean a temporary release from our beautiful temple of much of the precious energy which we have retained here for centuries. These energies will return to us in less than a fortnight accumulating as they return the devotion of all those who shall have made calls to the violet flame during this period. Thus we shall gather an even greater bastion of Light to our forcefield. We are spreading abroad for a time this blanket of violet flame in the name of beloved Saint Germain in order that more people upon earth may receive that precious outpouring which my beloved Zadkiel so longs to give to mankind.
I trust that you will understand that I have spoken calmly to you this morning and yet objectively and that our objective is to bring greater freedom to the hearts of mankind, that happiness be spread abroad, and that an intense action of divine love be established upon this planet, perhaps not always tangible to the physical eye yet felt as a great release of comfort and healing within the hearts of the people, freeing them from those pressures which have far too long held them in icy grips.
Beloved ones, great hands of light are spread abroad over the earth. May the earth be blessed for beloved Virgo and Pelleur have so long served mankind, and now under the blessing of beloved Helios and Vesta, your own beloved Saint Germain and Portia who may be thought of as the God and Goddess of Freedom for this earth, although beloved Portia is the Goddess of Justice, as the consort of beloved Saint Germain she embodies the quality of freedom in justice together with that of beloved Virgo and Pelleur.
May this activity of the violet flame and the violet flame angels be magnified over the whole earth. I, Holy Amethyst, in the name of my own being and in the name of Lord Zadkiel, bless you and thank you and bid you good morning.
The following decree is given for those students who desire to cooperate with beloved Holy Amethyst in the areas outlined in her dictation to the Washington group on April 21. All true lovers of the light will recognize the monumental opportunity afforded by Lord Zadkiel and the Great White Brotherhood at this juncture of the cosmic timetable to the mankind of earth. We pray, therefore, that you will offer your energies to them unceasingly during the remainder of the two-week period of their service and that you will sustain your violet flame momentum through the July class that we may together forge ahead to break the chain of oppression which holds the Cuban people in bondage. To the victory of the Light we commend your energies.
O VIOLET FLAME, COME, VIOLET FLAME!
In the name of the beloved mighty victorious Presence of God, I AM in me, my very own beloved Holy Christ Self and Holy Christ Selves of all mankind, I call to the heart of beloved Archangel Zadkiel and beloved Holy Amethyst, beloved Saint Germain and beloved Portia, beloved mighty Arcturus and Victoria, beloved Virgo and Pelleur and beloved Omri-Tas to saturate the earth and all thereon with enough violet fire to break the momentum of all oppression, free the Cuban people and all under communist control from the forces of darkness, and transmute all misqualified energy pitted against the defenders of freedom. In thy name we decree it.
O Violet Flame, come, Violet Flame,
Now blaze and blaze and blaze!
O Violet Flame, come, Violet Flame,
To raise and raise and raise!
(Repeat verse between the following endings:)
1- The earth and all thereon (3x)
2- The children and their teachers (3x)
3- The plants and elemental creatures (3x)
4- The air, the sea, the land (3x)
5- Make all to understand (3x)
6- Bless all by Omri-Tas' hand (3x)
7- I AM, I AM, I AM the fullness of God's Plan fulfilled right now and forever (3x)
And in full Faith I consciously accept this manifest, manifest, manifest! (3x) right here and now with full Power, eternally sustained, all-powerfully active, ever expanding, and world enfolding until all are wholly ascended in the Light and free! Beloved I AM! Beloved I AM! Beloved I AM!
