Spiritual Picture of the Day - (Augustus Saint-Gaudens) - Goddess of Victory

Ascended Master Teaching for Tuesday

Vol. 2 No. 12 - Maha Chohan - March 27, 1959

The average individual often feels so very sure that in the planning of his daily, as well as future, living—it would be so helpful if, in some way, he could draw back that “curtain” which veils the future to him—thus allowing him to see clearly just what lies ahead. O, beloved ones! That “veil of mystery” is one of the greatest gifts to you of a merciful heavenly father of love for, since that life which has been lived and, therefore, lies behind you—having been qualified with both light and shadow through life’s experiences; as well as that which lies ahead—depends so much upon each one’s conscious and deliberate use of his God-given gift of free-will.

Now, were that “curtain” to be drawn aside—even to some degree—of necessity there would have to be revealed both the light and shadow and, particularly where there is much of shadow lying dormant in many lifestreams (awaiting opportunity for balancing), certainly it would be of little encouragement to the soul to allow it to remember again in the present the apparent “failures” of the past or, looking ahead, to see that which will be required of the soul to balance them. Certain it is that—through the “veiling” of such unhappy experiences (some of which, in their day, may have been extremely distressing, each individual is thus protected from such remembering and is given a fresh “start” and opportunity—in each new embodiment—to try and try again. Finally, in a more illumined consciousness and amidst more conducive circumstances, the lifestream may arise in full mastery when again meeting such challenges as those which overcame him in the past.

Of course, because for each lifestream its own Holy Christ Self is the “All-knowing-mind of God,” that Holy Christ Self always sees and knows the “future probabilities” of its embodying outer self—seeing both the light and shadow which are “scheduled” (by karmic law) to appear (the “light” to manifest in that life as blessings to be enjoyed for previous good done and the shadows awaiting opportunity to manifest in the balancing of life’s accounts) However, opportunity is always given to the embodying one to “make things right,” through various contacts provided with persons, places, conditions and things which, if the soul is alert enough to accept and use, will make his way easier and move the soul forward into more and more light. Of course, as the outer self occupies each new physical body, the “bands of forgetfulness” form the “veil” which shuts out the past and future from outer consciousness.

Truly does “hope spring eternal in the human heart...but not only is this so of the “human” heart but of ours as well! You see, as our love follows lifestreams through many embodiments—completely through to the ascension—our feeling of “hope” for constant God-success is radiated to each one just as fully as the law of that one’s being will allow. Then, too, from the standpoint of the chela, himself—since perfection is the very essence of life itself and life being all-pervading, even that which is qualified with shadow has within itself a constant longing for and expectancy of the eventual manifestation of that perfect balance, beauty, happiness and abundance of all good which is perfection— in action!

Without “hope,” mankind would have no incentive ever to try again—nor would he believe in, desire or endeavor to use the resurrection flame which so rhythmically, dependably, obediently and magnificently expresses itself in visible, tangible action through the nature kingdom each spring.

Even before his final earth-life as the “master of Galilee” (which he became in that embodiment), beloved Jesus had attained tremendous heights of God-illumination and mastery along many lines of life’s expression. Wisely did he take full conscious advantage of the use of that resurrection flame for his own victory—thus proving to mankind the truth that it is meant for the individual and collective use of humanity, as well as for the elemental life which, through its use, produces so much of good for them. Today, with his loving assistance have you tremendous opportunity daily to call that flame forth through your own world and resurrect into outer expression your own individual Christ Self—in full power!

Fortunate indeed are those of mankind who have been entrusted with this knowledge of the “I AM” and the use of the violet transmuting flame for, in such “Hope” did your Holy Christ Self provide these for your use at this time. So great are the manifestations of this violet fire when called into action that it causes “hope to spring eternal in the heart” of all who use it. As one continues in its use, his hope therein builds and builds until it becomes full faith and “faith”—you will remember “is the evidence of things not seen!”

Beloved of our hearts1 You who aspire to God-mastery—and quickly!—waste not “jewelled” moments of opportunity in vain, wishing to see ahead—to see that which might come about when, in your knowledge of the constructive use of the violet fire and God’s “creative” name “I AM,” you can make your future that which you desire it to be! Use! Use! Use! every available moment—when your attention is not required to be on the things of this world—to call forth in, through and around you and others this “gem of mercy”—the violet flame—thus transmuting into light every “potential” distress of your world before it can act.” Make of yourselves the scintillating, all-powerful presence of “the holy amethyst” wherever you move—right here in this world of form. Remember, too, daily to use my gift to you of the comfort flame, for it but lives to keep you abundantly supplied with the gifts of God’s own presence!

In God’s Comfort Flame now enfolding you—”I AM”

Your Maha Chohan



NOTE: Gracious reader! Upon the substance of money is imposed much of imperfection and shadow, which causes that substance discomfort. After all, money is intelligent—for is not God all substance and all there is? Therefore, if you were to take your wallet in hand at least once each day and give the following blessing to the money it holds, you would magnetize your world so that it would draw more money to you for—like all other parts of life—money loves to feel your blessing!— “My very own beloved “I AM” Presence bless this money and all money everywhere with this decree:

Purify all money now by Violet Fire;
Set if ever free from greed—impure desire,
Charge it now with selfless love and joy and peace;
Let it flow to bless all life with Cosmic Christ release!


And in full faith, I consciously accept this done right now with full power!” (It is always best to repeat a decree 3 times when possible, thus calling into it the full power of the Holy Trinity. Do you see?)

Ascended Master Teaching for Wednesday

Vol. 2 No. 11 - Jesus Christ - March 20, 1959

“I AM the resurrection and the life of the full perfection of my divine plan fulfilled—now made manifest!” Beloved ones who today would follow in my footsteps along the path of “Christ-regeneration,” I give you here the statement I used so very often—those words which enabled me to draw forth, sustain and expand from my own beloved “I AM” Presence, the power of its resurrection flame, which made me victor over so-called “death.” My so-frequent contemplation upon and use of those words enabled me to generate the feeling of faith and confidence in my own Holy Christ Self within, until its expansion completely possessed all of my being and world, making me its self in action—all ways!
As I repeat this statement to you today and as you read my words, if you will ask me so to do—I shall gladly give you my feelings of faith in that flame which, if you will accept and then expand by your rhythmic attention thereto, must give you the same victory they gave me! The law is wholly impersonal and, therefore, will answer everyone everywhere, just as it did me—if everyone will apply that law with full and loving cooperation as I did. Consciously accept my feelings of the truth of this statement—right now, today—and make them your own—using those words often every day, with deep sincerity. As you earnestly practice this, you will draw even your outer consciousness closer and closer into unity with your own beloved “I AM” Presence until, at times, even above the clamorous sounds of the work-a-day world, you can be raised to the place where you actually hear the sweet and gentle harmonies which fill the world of your “I AM” Presence—the hearing of which will bring you such peace!
Ponder not upon the sorrowful aspects of any situation—for your attention held upon any person, place, condition or thing is allowing your very life—that very instant—to flow unreservedly into that upon which attention is fixed. Then, if that be distressing, since the Law of Life is a circle, whatever goes out from you must come back into you! Therefore, your life given to that which was sorrowful (in your own world, that of another or even of my so-called “trials”) must return to you, qualified with that distress—plus all that that energy has gathered (which is like itself) until it returns to your world again. This is inescapable, for it is but the action of the law of magnetic attraction.
Every year, so much unnecessary feelings of sympathy (which is “agreement with imperfection”), condemnation and actual despair have been generated and sent forth into the atmosphere of a world already too full of such shadowed vibrations because of mankind’s attention upon the apparent injustices and sadness of “Holy Week”—between Palm Sunday and Easter—two victorious days of God-accomplishment! If only the victorious feelings of the mastery of Palm Sunday could have been held all through that blessed week culminating with the heavenly achievement of the resurrection on Easter Sunday! However, we do rejoice that there are those of you on earth who understand this truth today and, as you endeavor to live it yourselves and explain it to others in the expanding of our light, the attention of the people gradually will be removed from the sadness and suffering of “Holy Week” and, instead, be held upon the power of light to manifest love’s eternal victory!
Gracious readers—you who know of the merciful use of the violet transmuting flame could be so helpful were you to make the daily calls to your own beloved “I AM” Presence and to us (especially at this time of the year) for such a power of that violet fire as has never come to earth before, to sweep constantly through all destructive etheric records, especially those which have to do with “Holy Week” and the causes and cores of all its distressing memories, thus completely dissolving them forever. Ask that these be replaced by the joyous feelings of the truth of my revelation of the eternality of God’s life—his gift to all—not only to me! So you can render such a wonderful service—truly giving your life for all men. Is not your life that with which you speak the words of your decrees and blessings? Then, “giving your life” does not necessarily mean the laying down of your body in so-called “death,” you know!
As the resurrection flame manifests so bountifully and magnificently throughout the nature kingdom, realize fully now that this flame is so able and most willing to render a like personal service for you! Ask it to bring forth from within yourself all that is good: The “newness of life,” manifesting as a more youthful body, a more alert and “open” mind, happiness in your feelings and an abundant supply of money and every good thing in your affairs. So are you enabled much more quickly to fulfill your own “reason for being.” Every living soul has such a divine plan to fulfill—some God-gift which his lifestream alone can give to life to increase its blessings. Try it! Try using that resurrection flame daily for thirty days—in earnest sincerity and in faith believing. See what it will do for you! Then expect the practical manifestations of this flame in your daily living.
Today yours is a much easier path to victory than that which was mine to tread. In the conscious knowledge and use of the violet fire, you have opportunity quickly to transmute every shadow of your lifestream into “the light of God that cannot fail” to produce victorious accomplishment for you, as you remain faithful to the law of your being—“I AM.” Always remember to speak that “word” only constructively—using the violet fire to transmute all past mistakes and, then, lovingly cooperating with that “still small voice within” (which is your Holy Christ Self living there), you, too, can arise from the tomb of human limitations to walk in the sunshine of God’s garden of freedom and life everlasting!

Your elder brother

Jesus—the Christ

Spiritual Picture of the Day - (van der Weyden) - The Last Judgement

Tuesday, 1 May 2012

Ascended Master Teaching for Wednesday

Vol. 2 No. 10 - Mother Mary - March 13, 1959


On that first Palm Sunday, as my beloved son rode upon the humble colt through the streets of Jerusalem in the midst of those “hosannas” and waving palms, his entire being radiated the feeling of deep humility and yet gracious dignity. He was, indeed, the true representation of the God-mastery of all life—the living Presence of the Father of all! The outpicturing of true divine love which Jesus actually had become had made him a resistless magnet to draw the attention of even the outer consciousness of the multitudes to his light. These, caught up in the spirit of joyous gratitude and praise to God (which was his constant attitude toward life!) loosed all the energies at their command in the loud “Hosannas” and “Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord.”
Our Jesus’ consciousness was that of complete oneness with his God and the radiation of that feeling from his very physical form was a magic quality which instantly lifted and raised the feelings of all the life he contacted, angelic, human and elemental as well. As he rode through the narrow streets of that ancient city in such peaceful God-control, no expression of studied pomp, pride or even self-satisfaction marred the natural beauty of his countenance which, as ever, remained fully composed, gentle and benign, in full command of the tremendous energies being released from those who thronged his way. For himself he accepted naught of the praise and adulation so released, but offered all to his beloved father of love. In all he did, Jesus obediently fulfilled his divine mission, even in the slightest detail. This triumphal entry into Jerusalem (“city of peace”) was a part of that divine plan, revealing to all his unconquerable spirit as the living example of the all-powerful love of the Godhead—right here in this world of form. His example all men may follow–each one thus becoming his very own Christ-in-action.
Of course, each one’s personal victory is a very sacred thing to that one and, deep within the heart, the experiences by which that victory was attained are known to that one alone, because it was attained by the release of that one’s own life. However, in the close connection with the beloved Jesus which was my honor and privilege (partly because I was his physical mother), I knew something of the tremendous strength, courage, power and many other God virtues which he had drawn from his source, through long hours of contemplation and application, to have made possible that day!
The memories of that first Palm Sunday are as fresh and vibrant in my consciousness as though it had been yesterday. The mounting crescendoes of the voices of the people harmoniously blending together in praise to God as the happy procession moved on was thrilling indeed to me—it filled my soul, too, with deep and sincere gratitude—not only for his victory, but for the opportunity which was mine to be a part of that universal pageant of light.
Beloved ones, you have heard it said that “a thing of beauty is a joy forever” and so it is! I say to you that everything of beauty endures forever—for all beauty expressed is God-in-action and can never cease to be! The outer physical forms in and from which that beauty manifests may disappear from the outer screen of life, but the etheric pattern (which is the divine idea and memory thereof) still abides in the akashic records.
Now, today, since it is the very nature of divine love to give and, in the victory of the ascension having become the fullness of that divine love in action, I want to give you a very real gift. Will you now consciously accept from my own memory world into your own those same energies—qualified with the fervent, joyous feelings of those “hosannas” of that multitude on that first Palm Sunday? Many of these lifestreams are reembodied today and, with each recurring Easter Season, these are all conscious of that “lift” in their feelings as, each year, those memories are stirred again within their etheric bodies (memory worlds). They do not always realize the “cause” thereof, but just rejoice in its Presence. Many people of many different faiths have an impelling desire to attend some church service at Easter who otherwise do not enter a church at any other time of the year! Is this not a proof in itself of the “inner” magnetic pull of the soul to the happiness of the victorious accomplishments of just one outstanding lifestream? He, in the mastery of himself alone, became master over everything “human” for all time. In setting the example thereof and therefor, he became master of all life everywhere.
Today, too, I am offering you again (and I do hope you will consciously accept my gift) my God-feeling and ability to hold for yourselves and others the perfect picture of your immaculate concept. That is the perfection of you which sees only as God sees! I am holding for you, too, the ability to remain humble and yet dignified in the manifest attainment of all your victories, as beloved Jesus did in his never allowing the outer self to claim the credit as being the “doer”—but always referring all praise and adulation of that which has been successfully accomplished back to the source of your being, whose very life you used as your own to attain those victories.
Believe me, my children! Wise indeed it would be for you to develop and constantly let flow from you the virtue of praising and thanking God for his manifest goodnesses on every hand. Then, even as did the Presence of beloved Jesus naturally draw praise from the hearts, throats and feelings of the masses who received the blessing of his light—just so, in days to come, shall a like radiation from you (and from the multiplied examples of the living Christ which arise all over the world, as this light of the “I AM” instruction expands to and through all), draw forth from the hearts of all you contact the praise and gratitude to God for the manifestation of such Christ-accomplishment. At such time that song “Blessed is He that Cometh in the Name of the Lord” shall be sung of you and the many of like attainment, just as it was sung for him in that day so long ago, as earth’s recordings go.
Let the radiant flame of my grace and peace anchor into your etheric bodies now—today—and awaken in you all the feelings of joy and praise you have ever known in past ages, when your accomplishments of light were very great. Those memories live in you, even though buried deeply in the folds of your etheric garment.
Let my gift to you today add to your endeavors now consciously to develop from within yourselves a greater and greater feeling of praise and gratitude to your Source. This greater gratitude will soon outpicture in many wonderful ways in your daily living, so that it will cause all life to be grateful you passed their way. Then the gratitude you so inspire in others for the peace and comfort you thus bring to life shall indeed “magnify your Lord” and make you, too, the victorious Christ-in-action as beloved Jesus was—and a healing Presence to all your radiation touches.
During this Easter season, will you please give me your attention for just a few uninterrupted moments each day, so that I may make your feelings of joy as great as mine at your victorious entering into your “Jerusalem”–your “city of peace”–practically manifesting in your world as master of all things “human”—all ways!

Forever yours in love—“I AM”

Your Mother Mary
