THE GURU AND THE CHELA

By the Ascended Master Kuthumi

BELOVED MASTER: What exactly is the Causal Body?

BLESSED CHELA: The Causal Body is the forcefield (aura) created around the individual's "I Am" Presence.

BELOVED MASTER: How is this Causal Body created?

BLESSED CHELA: When the individual "I Am" Presence is projected from its God Parents, an individualized focus of the Immortal Victorious Threefold Flame of God is created. This Individualized Focus has the potential powers of the God-Parents, i.e. It can think, feel, create from primal life that which it desires through the use of freewill. The attention of the "I Am" Presence thus created magnetizes primal life from its Source and directs this primal life into some type of constructive activity. The result of such direction (acting on the Law of the Circle) returns to its Creator and Director and becomes a qualified radiation and virtue around the "I Am" Presence.

BELOVED MASTER: Are all Causal Bodies alike?

BLESSED CHELA: No! Each individual "I Am" Presence uses the prerogative of freewill and engages in different experimentations with the use of life in the Seven Inner Spheres. The size of the various color bands which form the Causal Body is determined by whatever type of endeavor has taken the most energy, attention, time, application and service of the individual "I Am" Presence. The largest band of color (representing one of the virtues of God) determines to which Ray the individual "I Am" Presence belongs.

BELOVED MASTER: After physical embodiment has taken place, can the personality then created contribute to this Causal Body?

BLESSED CHELA: Yes. All endeavor, secular and spiritual, involves the use of energy. This energy, qualified by some specific constructive endeavor, rises and becomes a part of the Causal Body of the individual, even when he is out of physical embodiment, or sojourning at inner levels between embodiments.

BELOVED MASTER: Of what use is this Causal Body at Cosmic Levels?

BLESSED CHELA: As it forms a battery of energy around the "I Am" Presence of each lifestream which energy is already qualified and charged with perfection, the Causal Body can be and is used by the Presence as a momentum upon which that Presence draws to direct and focus its Rays at Cosmic, Ascended Master and Angelic Realms, thus helping in the activity of Cosmic Creation. The more energy qualified constructively, the larger the Causal Body of the "I Am" Presence and thus the greater pressure of radiation is created which forms the drive behind the Rays sent forth by that Presence.

BELOVED MASTER: Of what use is this Causal Body in the physical appearance world?

BLESSED CHELA: The momentums of faith, wisdom, love, purity, concentration, ministration or invocation in the individual's Causal Body qualify the unascended being to serve in the progress of the race along some specific line. The release of the full, gathered momentum of the Causal Body through the physical, etheric, mental and emotional bodies of the unascended lifestream is the purpose for the service of the Maha Chohan particularly.

BELOVED MASTER: How can unascended individuals release the good of their Causal Bodies for practical use?

BLESSED CHELA: First, by cognizing the fact that these momentums are already gathered around his own "I Am" Presence;

Second, by desiring to purify the four lower bodies so that the "I Am" Presence can and will release the gifts and powers of the individual's Causal Body through the Christ Flame within the heart;

Third, by actually cooperating in such purification by the use of the violet fire of transmutation and the kind services of Astraea, Lord Michael, the Elohim of Purity and all who are concerned with purification of the outer self;

Fourth, standing alone in the privacy of one's own room and raising the arms to form a cup of the upper part of the body, dynamically "charge" all the good of the Causal Body into the physical, etheric, mental and emotional bodies for the use of the outer self, to give greater blessing to all the life he contacts. The activity of "doing something" with the upraised hands, gives confidence to the outer self when dealing with so called "invisible powers". Quickly bringing the hands down, allowing them to be conductors of the gifts of the Causal Body, in, through and around the individual, gives this sense of confidence.

BELOVED MASTER: How can the individual know what particular momentums are gathered in his own Causal Body?

BLESSED CHELA: This is not necessary. As the individual truly begins to invoke the full, gathered Cosmic momentums of his own Causal Body through his lower vehicles, he will gain the feeling of the positive energy from within that glorious storehouse of all good. The intellect here does not need to cooperate. In fact, pre-determined intellectual knowledge is rather a detriment to this application. Just know it is there. Reach up and charge it into, through and around you and the result will speak for itself.

BELOVED MASTER: What does the Causal Body look like?

BLESSED CHELA: It is formed of seven concentric bands of color around the individual "I Am" Presence. It is (as I have said before) the spiritual aura of the "I Am" Presence.

BELOVED MASTER: Is there any other service this Causal Body can render besides helping the "I Am" Presence to cooperate in the activities of creation at Cosmic Levels and expressing itself through the outer personality?

BLESSED CHELA: Yes, when only 51 percent of the energy of the entire lifestream is qualified with perfection and anchored within the Causal Body, it acts as a magnet assisting the individual to Ascend. Thus, it becomes the "Cause" of the ascension, from whence comes its name - the Causal Body.
