from Jesus:
I will have to lovingly and
respectfully disagree with you. The greatest gift any being has received
is the gift of life, the gift of self-awareness which comes from the
fact that God the Creator has embedded a portion of his own consciousness
within you. So the greatest gift of all is that you are a son or daughter
of God.
The next great gift is that of free will, which gives you the opportunity
to be a co-creator with your God. This is expressed in my saying, “My
Father worketh hitherto, and I work (John 5:17).” Your Father
has worked hitherto by giving you life, free will and an orderly universe
guided by laws as a platform for your growth in creative ability. You
now have the opportunity to co-create within the framework of God’s
law, and by doing so you will multiply your talents, take dominion over
the matter universe – including the material side of your being
– and thereby you become more, the world of form becomes more
and God becomes more.
It is true that many people see the gift of free will as a dubious gift
but that is only because they are unwilling to use it within the framework
of God’s law and creative vision. This unwillingness to see themselves
as one with the Father, and declare, “I and my Father are one”
(John 10:30), has caused people to fall into the consciousness of separation
and duality. And the greatest gift people have received to help them
rise above separation – the consciousness of spiritual death –
is the Christ consciousness – the consciousness of life. Only
after that would I rank the violet flame.
I did indeed have knowledge of the violet flame in my embodiment as
Jesus, and I invoked it often. I had known about this form of spiritual
energy since childhood when I discovered it intuitively, as many children
do. I did not learn to invoke it systematically until I traveled to
the East, as explained elsewhere.
I met several teachers in the East who taught me about this form of
energy and its ability to erase past mistakes, in the East called karma
and in Israel called sin—two names for the same thing. In fact
one of these teachers was, Balthazar, one of the three wise men. There
are several spiritual techniques from the East, including meditation
and yoga that invoke the violet flame energy.
Obviously, I did not call this energy the violet flame. I later presented
it to my disciples as the Holy Spirit or the comforter:
And I will pray
the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide
with you for ever; (John 14:16)
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father
will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all
things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (John
14:26)
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you
from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the
Father, he shall testify of me: (John 15:26)
Let me say that all spiritual
masters have known about this energy under one name or another. Once
you have misqualified God’s energy, you cannot ascend until you
purify that energy. And this can be done only by invoking spiritual
energy from above. So I used the violet flame as did the Buddha and
Krishna. In reality, many religious rituals from around the world invoke
this energy. When Christians engage in communion with pure hearts, the
wafer and the wine are charged with violet flame energy, and this can
have a transformative effect on the person receiving communion.
It is correct that in ages past, the Ascended Host were not allowed
to teach the invocation of the violet flame in a direct form. The reason
being that the consciousness of humankind was so low that they would
likely have misused it on a large scale. They would have invoked the
violet flame to erase their sins and then they would have gone right
back and committed more sins—as some Catholics bought letters
to absolve them of their sins or go to confession only to sin again.
This can actually prevent souls from growing spiritually by allowing
them to remain in the dualistic consciousness without being burdened
by their karma—which can force them to change.
Yet the violet flame was taught to the multitudes in the disguised form
of communion and other rituals. Still, this could not be done without
an ascended being holding the balance for the use of the violet flame
by taking upon himself the karma of any misuse of the flame. That is
why I said:
Nevertheless I
tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if
I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart,
I will send him unto you. (John 16:7)
I had to sponsor the release
of violet flame energy through the Christian dispensation, which I could
not do until I had ascended. So I did bear the responsibility for the
misuse of the violet flame in the Christian dispensation. Likewise,
Saint Germain must bear the burden for any misuse in the Aquarian age,
and that is why he had to receive permission from cosmic councils to
release the knowledge of how to invoke the violet flame through spoken
affirmations, or decrees. Likewise, Mother Mary must bear the responsibility
for any misuse of her new rosaries, as she has done for the misuse of
her old rosary.
Finally, I would not say that knowledge of the violet flame reached
the masses in the 1930’s. It would be more correct to say that
this knowledge was made available to the masses. So far they have been
oblivious to the opportunity they have been given by Saint Germain,
as they have been oblivious to the opportunity given by me over the
past 2,000 years. They would rather listen to the blind leaders who
tell them that my blood on the cross secured their salvation for them
than they would put forth the effort to use the violet flame to transmute
the karma that blocks their salvation.
Nevertheless, the kingdom of God is at hand. The time has come when
more and more people will choose to become awakened and realize that
God saves those who are willing to make an effort to save themselves.
And once awakened to this timeless reality, people will make use of
the tools that are available in this age. Truly, in recorded history,
humankind has never had a greater opportunity for spiritual growth than
right now.
