THE GURU AND THE CHELA
By the Ascended Master Kuthumi
As the beloved chelas are interested in developing my humble explanation of the
efficacy of the breathing exercises as presented in "The Bulletin" during the
month of May 1956, I have been given permission to offer my column this month to
an elaboration upon the initial instruction. This added instruction will assist
those desiring to use these breathing exercises with more efficacy. I present
such directions as prepared by our beloved chela, Mrs. Ekey, to those who choose
to avail themselves of it.
Kuthumi
On the Mastery of the Four Lower Bodies Through Rhythmic Breathing
May 5, 1956
Through the control of the breath, the Beloved Master Kuthumi has told us, there can be drawn healing for every cell of the physical and inner bodies, all diseases (including cancer and leprosy) can be so healed. This rhythmic breathing and breath control is one of the first steps to complete mastery of the individual's world, for it allows the Holy Christ Self, through the expansion of the Immortal Threefold Flame within the heart, to purify all the energies in the physical, etheric, mental and emotional bodies. As the Beloved Maha Chohan points out in his wonderful discourse given on Holy Thursday, March 29th, 1956 (which discourse has been published in the June 1956 "Bridge"), at first, whatever body has been having its own way with our energies up to this time will probably attempt to rebel when this practice is first started. Therefore, it might be well to just take five (5) minutes regularly, three times a day and, after a week or so, increase the time given to this exercise if the individual wishes to do so.
Preparation
First of all, the student should either sit or lie down in as quiet a place as
possible, making very sure that he is undisturbed during the time he is giving
to this exercise. Regularity of experiment is of the utmost importance for, in
rhythm of continuity, the individual gains strength of purpose, dexterity of
action and confidence in ultimate accomplishment.
Consciously see the Immortal Threefold Flame within the heart expand until it is
much larger than the physical body (at least filling your Tube of Light which is
about 9 feet in diameter.) This Three-fold Flame is composed of three "plumes"
of dazzling light substance, the Gold plume in the center; Blue to the left and
Pink to the right. These should be pictured as good, true, bright shades of
these colors. The more brilliantly they are pictured the more powerfully they
will act. The Flame should extend at least 3 feet below the individual's feet
and about 3 feet above his head, the physical body being held within the center
of the Golden Plume. Then see the "Golden Man" (the Christ) within the heart
(released from his airless cell) arise and completely fill the physical form,
thus giving the Holy Christ Self complete possession and control of that form.
(In the case of the embodied Angels who have come from the Great Central Sun,
the "Golden Man" within the heart would be a White Fire Being. If this is the
case, then expand that White Light, do you see?) To expand this Immortal
Three-fold Flame in, through and around one, use the statement:
"O, Thou Beloved Immortal Three-fold Flame of Eternal Truth within my heart -
EXPAND and DO THY COSMIC WORK!" Say this, 3 times, with FEELING, knowing it has
been waiting for centuries (since we first forgot its Presence within us) to
obey your commands for its expansion, bringing your world into Divine Order
through Divine Love!
Picture this large, blazing Immortal Three-fold Flame around the physical body,
call directly to your own Electronic Presence, the "I AM" and say:

(the above are used on the indrawn, held, outbreathed and projected breaths as
we use them in the Transmission Classes and as taught in the Transmission of the
Flame Books). In this exercise, particularly in the beginning, one could just do
the above 4 statements once and once for each set of the following: After the
above then take

(Use the same as above statement). Then follow with:

(Use as two previous statements have been done). Having done that, YOU HAVE
PREPARED YOUR ALTAR OF THE SACRED FIRE by qualifying it with the FULL PERFECTION
of your Three Higher Vehicles ("I AM" Presence, Causal Body and Holy Christ
Self). You have now consciously drawn the full power and authority of the
perfection of your lifestream into this Threefold FLAME anchored within (and
expanded from) your heart. Do you see?
Now in order to increase the power, activity and quality of any specific Virtue
of the Immortal Victorious Three-Fold Flame of God within your heart, you can
consciously invite the full gathered momentum of any God-Free Being to
accelerate that particular virtue through that Flame within your heart by this
exercise: (we have chosen the Violet Fire of Transmutation, as purification is
most required by unascended beings at this hour calling into action the
assistance of Holy Amethyst, the Archaii who represents the purifying feeling of
the Violet Fire).
Then, for the purification of the four lower bodies, through the Threefold
activity of the Flame, see that large, expanded Threefold Flame turn COMPLETELY
VIOLET - dazzling, blazing bright, the Flame in all-powerful action. See the
three plumes of pink, gold and blue ALL TURN VIOLET! The more powerful you want
the Flame the deeper you visualize its color and the more dazzling you picture
its action.

Now, the "stage" is completely set for the Purification of the Four Lower
Bodies.
Consciously begin to draw into this ALL POWERFUL VIOLET FIRE by which you are
now surrounded, ALL THE IMPURITY in your EMOTIONAL (FEELING) BODY, drawing it in
on the inbreath into this purifying Flame. Hold it there on the "absorbing" or
held breath; (feeling it being purified in that furnace of Sacred Fire). Then
breathe that purified energy out again into the emotional body on the
"expanding" or outbreath and PROJECT its purification out into the atmosphere
around you and into the Transmission Flame which is constantly encircling the
Earth during the period of its 30-day service each month.
We suggest the following statement to be used for indrawing the impurities of
each body (in turn) as that substance is drawn into the Sacred Fire (whatever
Flame is used):
1 2
3
4
5
6

"I AM" inbreathing for purification all
the energy of my feeling world
(On this statement, feel it drawn in)
"I AM" absorbing for purification all
the energy of my feeling world
(On this HELD breath, FEEL it purified)
"I AM" expanding this purified the
energy and Christ perfection into my feeling world
(Here see that
energy returned to your feeling world crystal pure)
"I AM" projecting this purified the
energy and Christ perfection into my feeling world
(Now consciously project it into the
atmosphere around you, to be instantly picked up and carried away on the
Transmission Flame to add to the Light of the world.)
Then take the impure energy of your MENTAL BODY in the same manner, using the
same technique as that suggested for the emotional body. After that, do the same
for the ETHERIC BODY and then the PHYSICAL. As we said above, in the beginning,
it is best to stay with this practice about 5 minutes at a time. The time can be
increased as the individual gets more and more accustomed to managing the breath
and the bodies begin to realize that they have met their Eternal, Loving but
Unyielding Master at last!
Of course, one may use the Threefold Flame in ANY COLOR he wishes, according to
the quality he desires to charge into these four lower bodies. We used Violet
because of the great need for transmutation of the impure energies there.
Beloved Saint Germain said years ago that today, about 90% of the energy of the
unascended individual's world is qualified with discord! For that reason, we
suggested the Violet Fire FIRST!
However, if one wants to charge these bodies with TRUTH, for instance, of course
that Flame would be colored in the individual's "mind's eye" with a beautiful
shade of Chinese Green. If Divine Love is desired, color the Flame a beautiful
shade of pink and so on; blue for energy, power and faith; dazzling white for
purity; crystal (iridescent) for resurrection; yellow for illumination; gold for
peace and ministration of blessings to all. The deeper the shade and the more
dazzling the color used, the greater the power drawn through that particular
Flame. The technique is the same for all the Flames, just change the color of
the Three-fold Flame in, through and around the body to render the desired
service of qualification.
