THE GURU AND THE CHELA

By the Ascended Master Kuthumi

CHELA: Beloved Master: If asked to give a simple definite explanation of the many Flames to one who had never studied the work, one would be found wanting. Could you help me? 

GURU: Blessed Chela: First comes recognition of the light itself, then love of the light. Later comes a conscious understanding of the Flame as an intelligence. From this understanding comes mastery in the direction and use of the Flame. You remember the statement of the Beloved Master Saint Germain "as the conscious is to the unconsciousness so is the use of the Flame to the recognition of the Light." People who have never studied the work must first enjoy the radiation of the light itself, bathe in it, be nourished by it, seek its Presence and generally become acquainted with the peace, the healing, the supply, the harmony that comes when one lives within it.

CHELA: Beloved Master: What is this Light to which you refer?

GURU: Blessed chela: This Light is the natural radiation of harmoniously qualified life. Life radiates constantly. The quality charged into life determines the type of radiation it gives forth. The Presence within the heart, the Masters, the Angels, the Devas all naturally radiate light and it is, a comfortable feeling to those who come into proximity with their auras. Students, also, more than anything else; should create such a comfortable feeling in their own auras that new seekers are soothed, blessed, healed and illumined through contact with that radiating light. Then, and then only, the seeker will ask how to create for himself such a comfortable, happy personal atmosphere. The seeker will come to the sanctuaries, temples, homes and focuses where the Light poured forth from the Presence of God, I Am, and the Perfected Beings, as well as the students, gives them a surcease from the turmoil and confusions of their daily living. This is the "recognition of the light." Following this recognition and acceptance comes the individual application to learn how to draw, focus, direct and radiate the light and the seeker becomes a student of the Flame activities.

CHELA: Beloved Master: Many good people who know nothing of the Spiritual Law are such radiating centers of comfort and peace, even more so than those who affirm a deeper knowledge of the activities of the Flame of God.

GURU: Blessed chela: True. They are natural channels and conductors of the gifts of God from their own Presence and Causal Body, but are unconscious of how to increase or specifically direct the fullness of the Cosmic Powers of their beings. The students, although their natural radiation may be inferior to many who seem to have no intellectual knowledge of the Spiritual Law, will in time be in conscious control of the powers of the Sacred Fire as Jesus was and presently is, and not like the lovely flowers that radiate beauty, color and perfume, but still are at the mercy of whatsoever lifestream shall choose to pick them for a bouquet.

CHELA: Beloved Master: What is the Sacred Fire?

GURU: Blessed chela: The Sacred Fire is merely consciously qualified life. An intelligence, human or divine, draws primal life forth for a specific purpose. Primal life is neutral, like water, unformed and seemingly colorless (although it  contains within itself the essence of all color) . The Intelligence, using the wand of power his own feeling world, charges that primal life with peace, purity, healing, love, opulence, strength, wisdom, and the primal life, consciously charged by the directly intelligence, takes on the color of the quality invoked and the vibratory rate of that quality and becomes the Sacred Fire. It is that simple.

CHELA: Beloved Master: Is the Sacred Fire the same as the Unfed Flame?

GURU: Blessed chela: The Unfed Flame is the pulsation of the Presence of God within your physical heart. It is one activity of the Sacred Fire. There are countless activities of the Sacred Fire, hundreds of which have never even been mentioned by the Masters to unascended beings. The Flame of Mercy and Compassion is an activity of the Sacred Fire. The Healing Flame of Jesus and Mary is an activity of the Fire. Do you see?

CHELA: Beloved Master: Yes. Then, it is the opportunity of every lifestream to qualify the primal life passing through their own heartbeat with some specific radiating power to bless mankind. Then do we become focuses of the Sacred Fire also?

GURU: Blessed chela: This is truly the action of the Law. I would counsel you to specify a particular quality of impersonal radiation that you would like to give to life and stay with that one quality until you have built a momentum through the energy of your aura. The first time some individual recognizes your light and speaks to you of it, without your having mentioned your private applications, will be one of the happiest experiences on your road to Mastery. Those who recognize your light will become applicants for the Law of the Sacred Fire and thus you are a missionary, even without words, wherever you move.

CHELA: Beloved Master: Please show me how to do this simply in my daily application.

GURU: Blessed chela: Thank you for the opportunity. First, in the silence, ask yourself what specific blessing you would like to radiate out to mankind without any man knowing of your service. Determine upon peace, love, harmony, healing. The actual gift of radiation will be a spiritual benediction to the race, but the training in conscious qualification will be the gift of yourself and the choice you make of impersonal blessing to life makes little difference in the efficacy of your service. The most important point is your determination to bless life without recognition of self and to learn how to qualify life in a positive manner that can withstand the unbridled energies of others.

Second, after you have chosen a quality of radiation, think of some Ascended Master who is already a Cosmic Sun of that Quality. He will help you considerably to get the rhythm of the feeling of that quality into action through your own feeling world. If you have chosen healing, the Beloved Jesus will pour to you his confidence and feeling of the Power of God to heal. Open your feeling world to the Master as you open your vital bodies to the light of the Sun. Learn to accept the feelings you wish to give.

Third, after you have gotten acquainted with the feeling you desire to radiate in the privacy of your own room, visualize the pure light that flows through the silver cord into your heart. Then let your feeling world, just like a hand, pass over that energy and qualify it with the color, the quality, the radiation you desire.

Fourth, charge the energy from your Presence into that feeling and build a momentum of that feeling into your aura. Visualize your aura charged with that beautiful feeling, quality, color and vibration and wear it as you would wear a beautiful seamless robe. Then move among mankind. At first, the hem of your garment may be soiled by contact with your fellowmen, but practice makes perfect. Perseverance is essential to mastery. This is how we attained and how you may, if you choose. Thank you and God bless you for interest in this subject, dear to our hearts.
