MAHA CHOHAN:

As soon as the Individualized God-Flame is projected forth from its Creator, can realize itself and feel the "I Am" identity, such a one begins to create certain momentums of qualified energy which form a spiritual aura around it. This aura increases in size, power, virtue and radiation as the Individualized "I Am" Presence continues to draw life from its Source and experiment with the creative centers of thought and feeling. This spiritual aura is known as the Causal Body of the "I Am" Presence. Every Individualization of God has a distinct, different and yet wholly beautiful expression of such glory around it, determined by its use of life and the particular avenue of service to which the Individualization of God has devoted itself. This spiritual aura is the expression of the Holy Spirit in, through and around the "I Am" Presence. The requirement of the hour is to purify the four lower bodies (physical, etheric, mental and emotional) of all the evolutions belonging to the Earth, so that the glorious momentums of the Causal Bodies of unascended lifestreams can pour forth their gifts and blessings to the race, through the outer selves of mankind. 

EL MORYA:

It is the Will of God that the glorious gifts, talents, momentums and powers gathered by the "I Am" Presence of every unascended lifestream be released through the Immortal Victorious Threefold Flame of God anchored within the physical heart. It is the Will of God that each student upon the Path purify his four lower bodies and allow the natural release of his gathered momentums of good to flow forth, into, through and around the personal self for the blessing of all life. To this end, we presently are securing every assistance from Heaven and from chelas on Earth who are also interested in seeing God's Will done for this sweet planet now! 

KUTHUMI:

The Causal Body of each individual is built through eons of time, even before the "I Am" Presence of such an individual chose to take physical embodiment. Then, in every Earth-life, all the energy used constructively was also raised into that Causal Body, and thus contributed to the ever-expanding glory of that Body. It is the process of "laying up treasures in Heaven" of which Beloved Jesus spoke. The "I Am" Presence of each lifestream uses this battery of spiritually charged, qualified and gathered momentums of energy to contribute to creation at Cosmic levels. When the unascended lifestream becomes aware, even intellectually, of the "I Am" Presence and makes application for the use of the momentums of his own Causal Body, that one's Presence is happy indeed. Then there is set into action the process of purifying and sublimating the energies of the lower nature (four lower bodies) so that the Causal Body's gathered momentums of perfection may release it, through and around the outer self. 

PAUL, THE VENETIAN:

Within the physical heart is the Immortal, Victorious Threefold Flame of God, an actual projection of the Immortal Flame within the heart of each one's own "I Am" Presence. As the student turns to his own "I Am" Presence in love, sincerity, humility, reverence and gratitude, he naturally begins to draw more light into his outer self, through the Silver Cord which connects the Flame within his heart with that of his "I Am" Presence. This added light increases the size, power, efficacy and radiation of the Flame within his physical heart. Then through the Silver Cord, the "I Am" Presence begins to rhythmically release the powers of its own Causal Body. Each one of the student's four lower bodies is carefully tested to see how much of this added power and energy it can assimilate, harmoniously control and radiate constantly. The "I Am" Presence, with the assistance of the Holy Christ Self, acts very wisely in allowing its release of added energy and power to the outer self. As a man tests the strength of a plank before putting his weight upon it, so do the "I Am" Presence and Holy Christ Self release a little added understanding, power and energy at a time. Then they "test" the capacities of the four lower vehicles and the outer consciousness to use them wisely; to guard them well and to sustain their action by self-control. If the chela proves himself capable of harmoniously sustaining and using such a release, the next rhythmic outpouring will be greater. If the chela's lower vehicles and outer personality cannot or will not in grace and reverence, accept the responsibility of such added gifts, the "I Am" Presence must wait until such time as purification of those bodies has taken place and the sublimation of the soul, selflessness of the personality makes the conditions possible for the gradual but steady externalization of the glory of the Causal Body through such a one. 

SERAPIS BEY:

The subject chosen by our Lord Maha Chohan for this issue of The Bridge to Freedom is the development of the receptivity of the outer self to receive and externalize the Causal Body. This is a subject dear to my Heart. As Beloved Jesus said: "ye cannot place new wine in old bottles", so I say that you cannot magnetize and radiate the gifts of your own Causal Body until you have purified the energies of your four lower bodies. When this purification has taken place, the natural activity of your own "I Am" Presence (through the kind offices of the Holy Christ Self within your heart), will be to channel through your Silver Cord into the Flame within your heart, those gifts, powers, momentums and talents (the previously gathered momentums of good of your own lifestream) which you, and you alone, can release to bless this Earth. Purification takes place through the conscious determined, persistent use of the Violet Transmuting Flame and other purifying powers of the Sacred Fire which you have been taught. It also takes place through conscious sustaining of harmony in the outer self so that the dislodged, transmuted impurities are not replaced by more impurity generated through destructive use of the free-will. Some good students use the sacred fire but do not guard against the re-creation of similar discords. Others endeavor to maintain harmony but do not utilize the powers of the Sacred Fire to remove the causes and cores of inharmony. BOTH exercises are essential to sustained personal mastery. 

HILARION:

Even as no two snowflakes are alike in their beauty of design, so no two Causal Bodies of Cosmic Masters, Angels or men are alike. This is because free-will has allowed the Individualized "I Am" Presence to use life to develop any facet of God's Divine Plan. The activity which has taken the greatest amount of energy, attention, time, interest and service through the ages will create the largest band of color in the Causal Body and the various other activities which have also engaged some of the energies of the Individual will variegate the size of the other bands of color as well. Thus, the beauty of diversification of expression is manifest in Heaven and will be manifest on Earth when man knows of a certainty that the Christ in every individual naturally, in time, will externalize the glory of his own Causal Body for the blessings of the entire evolution. The differences among the outer minds of men appear because of their seeming inability to cognize the TRUTH that the Holy Spirit (Nature of God) is expressed in many ways. As long as those ways are loving, beautiful, harmonious and constructive, they are truly expressions of the individual's own Causal Body through the outer self. The demand that all expressions of the Holy Spirit be the same is as ridiculous as a demand on nature that all flowers, trees, vegetables, fruits, etc., be exactly alike. It is the very diversification of expression of God's Nature which makes for the beauty of Heaven. However, many take this phase of the Law as giving them "license" to obey any prompting of the outer self. Here should be drawn the line of discretion, discrimination and God-Intelligence 

JESUS:

It was my mission on Earth to externalize the Holy Spirit of my own "I Am" Presence. Thus, I was required to keep my emotional, mental, etheric and physical bodies absolutely at peace so that the Holy Christ Self could easily draw from my Causal Body and externalize, as my personal aura, the gifts and powers of perfection which I had developed through the ages. When I had proven myself capable of so expressing my Divine Nature, I was given the added opportunity of drawing upon and externalizing the Nature of the World Teacher, Lord Maitreya, as well. There are unascended beings today who can and shall have like opportunity to not only express their own perfected Causal Body through their outer selves but also offer their lifestreams as conductors for Cosmic Beings and Ascended Masters to spread their radiations through the evolutions dependent upon God help to rise out of present limitation. For each one so desiring to serve thus, I offer my humble assistance. I know the Way, for I have trodden it successfully before you. If you wish my hand to help you upon your Path "ask and ye shall receive"! 

SAINT GERMAIN:

You must learn to think of your Causal Body, not as just bands of color, but as living, intelligent, God-qualified energies and virtues which await expression through you NOW! It should be of encouragement to you to know that these virtues are already at your command. In the silence of your room, turn your attention to the Holy Christ Self within your hearts and invoke it to magnetize and externalize the gifts of your Causal Body through your outer self NOW! I CHALLENGE YOU TO DO THIS EARNESTLY! It is truly the requirement of this World Hour. 

In the Name and by the Power of the victorious Presence of God which "I Am" without limit, I invoke all the powers of the Sacred Fire to purify your outer consciousness and the substance and energy of your four lower bodies. They shall become and remain Grails for the glory of God to flow into and manifest through you NOW! I invoke the Holy Christ Self within your heart to expand the manifold gifts of your own Causal Body to hasten the externalization of the Golden Age of Freedom NOW!
