LAW OF THE CIRCLE

The use of primal life is a gift given to each self-conscious intelligence by which that intelligence, with discrimination and wisdom, may learn to qualify that life in a manner that radiates comfort into the Universe, bringing back similar comfort on the return current of the sender's qualified energy. The initiative of the individual intelligence in the use of primal life prompts him to qualify that God-gift, send it forth feel the result of its return and thus, through experimentation, learn the joy of using life constructively. This initiative is another gift of the Giver of Life - free will! Without free will and discriminative selective powers of thought and feeling, no intelligence could become a conscious co-worker with the Cosmic "I AM" Presence and those who serve with it in expanding the nature of God on every plane. 

Beloved Æolus 

Even physical science now agrees that all form is in constant motion, including so-called inanimate objects. They have explored the nature of form only in the physical world. The pioneers on the spiritual path discovered that all form on the Higher Planes is also in constant motion. The radiation directed forth from that form takes on the quality of the self conscious Intelligence who is directing it; or, if it is a so-called inanimate object, the radiation released from it is that of its designer and possessor. Therefore, when we counsel you on the development of more and more Divine LOVE in your nature, we know whereof we speak. We see the movement of your energy through thought, feeling, spoken word and action, and we know that the movement of that energy will be in circular motion. Thus, if this energy is allowed to go forth inharmoniously qualified, the sender of that energy will experience distress on the return current of his own energy. Also, may I say here, that one should be very careful of those so-called inanimate objects which previously have been in the possession of a rather destructively inclined nature. This is because the sensitive energy in such objects has taken on obediently the vibratory action of such a one and radiates that vibratory action into the world of its present possessor. Through the knowledge and the use of the Violet Fire of Transmutation, such objects can be purified. They can be re-polarized through love and thus be raised to a more perfected state. However, indiscriminate acceptance of gifts and objects without this process of purification draws much unnecessary distress into the worlds of individuals. Even your present means of exchange - money - affects its receiver according to the manner in which that money was accumulated and the feeling with which it is given. Places of occupation likewise become saturated with the energies of all who have served there and should be purified daily by the conscious use of the Violet Fire in order to remove any radiations of imperfection charged into the substance of that place. Then such a place should be consciously charged with the quality and feeling of pure Divine Love. Many scoff at the admonition to purify the substance in which they move. Yet, remember that all substance is intelligent and is both absorbing and radiating constantly! 

Beloved Maha Chohan 

It is the opportunity and obligation of the Brothers of the First Ray to help any self-conscious intelligence to find within himself the Will of God. It is not our purpose nor our service to cause any such intelligence to lean upon us for directions, which would ultimately weaken rather than strengthen, the development of that intelligence. We KNOW God's Holy Will and, when invited, proffer suggestions and counsel which any individual is free to accept or reject, according to his own development and capacity to receive the Wisdom therein. No true Master or Guru, Ascended or otherwise, will weaken the discriminative faculties of the chela but rather, such an one will strengthen and encourage the development of such faculties by gradually directing the outer self toward the chela's own Intelligent Mentor within himself - the Holy Christ Self. Many, however, use this very freedom to exploit and externalize some personal motive. The few expand in consciousness and grace through proximity to the Master and the manifest expression of such expansion of Divinity is the true humility which radiates from the heart and is not a garment thrown over the deceptive vesture of spiritual pride and desire for 'place' in the world of form. Think on this! 

Beloved El Morya 

The Law of Cause and Effect (called by some 'karma') is really a tremendous opportunity for the individual to learn how to use the priceless gift of life. By the distress he experiences after placing his hand upon a hot stove a child learns to avoid burning himself in the future; so does the student of life learn how to avoid setting up causes of future distress through the generation of inharmoniously qualified energy in any one of his four lower vehicles. Such a one then is not struck by the impact of returning energy of an unhappy and discordant nature. The more advanced the student, the more quickly does the energy sent forth by him return with more of its kind. 

Beloved Kuthumi 

One of the easiest ways of showing the chela the truth of the Law of the Circle is practiced in the Ascended Masters' Retreats. A circle of energy is formed around the periphery of the emotional world of the student and then he is allowed to project his energy forth within that circle. When the chela's energy touches the periphery of this circle, it literally bounces back and the chela instantly feels the result of his own qualification of life. In the usual course of life, no such small periphery is provided and the length of time through which the individual passes (usually engaged in other occupation) is such that he had forgotten the cause set up within himself which produced the unpleasant effect. Then, as a rule, he is surprised, chagrined and rebellious when the circular current returns as a distressing experience. In our schoolrooms at Inner Levels we have set up laboratories as described above wherein any individual desiring to learn the truth about the action and reaction of energy may experiment in a small concentric ring which returns his energy quickly. I decree that this manner of teaching may soon be available to the earnest chelas outside the Retreats. It surely would teach quickly the wisdom of right qualification of primal life.

Beloved Serapis Bey 

We are well pleased with mankind's recent scientific research which has discovered the constant motion of all energy. The metaphysical discovery of such motion on all planes will soon follow. Then man will know the truth of Beloved Jesus' words: "as a man soweth, so shall he also reap". The fact cannot be too strongly emphasized that energy, from the smallest nuclear center to the greatest Sun, is intelligent; also, the fact cannot be stressed too much, that energy in the lower planes is obedient to the creative centers in man. The qualification of energy creates a cause that cause is directed into the Universe and creates an effect the effect is then directed back toward its creator and the creator's reaction to that effect (emotionally, mentally, etherically or physically) creates another cause. Thus you have circles within circles. Accepting the return current of energy as having emanated from oneself, the creator then learns quickly that it is wise only to send forth from his world constructive causes; also that he should receive gracefully the effects of previous causes and not start a chain reaction whereby a new series of both causes and effects are set into motion. Some earnest souls have mis-interpreted this Law by just accepting the distressing return of their own misqualified energies, piously saying, "It is God's Will! Others rebel and cry; "There is no God"! These are two extremes of human reaction which must be illumined and corrected by the Brotherhood of Truth through patient teaching, counsel and example! 

Beloved Hilarion 

My mission came at the close of the Mosaic Dispensation wherein the doctrine of 'an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth' was accepted as Law. It was my service to teach the possibility of transcending personal karma through the use of mercy and forgiveness. My words (St. John 20:23) "Whosoever sins ye shall forgive, they are forgiven; whosoever sins ye shall retain, they are retained". This power of forgiveness applies to every man. When an individual chooses to retain grievances against persons, places, conditions or things, he retains the distress. When an individual chooses to release such grievances, the erring party, as well as the forgiving one, performs the mystic rite of transmutation of the inharmonies which tie life-streams together for centuries, making both so bitterly unhappy by such restraining bonds FORGIVE - FORGIVE - FORGIVE! Thus you shall set yourself and all who have injured you free from unhappy bonds that must be transmuted so that all the individuals involved may rise to greater freedom and happiness! 

Beloved Jesus 

The knowledge of the Presence of the Violet Fire, its use and the feeling of the acceptance of its efficacy are so important to the earnest chela. Mercifully, individuals do not remember all the various activities in which they have been engaged through the ages. Energy, however, does remember and remains qualified by its original creator until it is consciously transmuted. The human kingdom, the bird life, the nature kingdom and the animal kingdom are all bound by innumerable connections created through eons of association. The safest and surest way of freeing the soul from the fetters of unpleasant associations (most of which are not even known to the outer self) is to sincerely and deeply call on the law of forgiveness for all misqualified energy all the way back to the time of one's individualization, and to ask the Angels of the Violet Fire to assist such an one to truly want to forgive and then truly accept forgiveness. Thus the Law of the Circle can be a happy experience, when the student creates and sends forth only constructive causes and then subsequently reaps, of course, only happy effects. Slowly but surely there is dawning in the outer consciousness of the comparatively few interested in the use of the Violet Fire the realization that the power of transmutation (perfecting the quality of one's own returning energy or projected energy from another lifestream) is a possibility. By practice, the outer self will become more cognizant of such power of transmutation, and the binding laws of karmic retribution will no longer restrict the aspiring lifestream. The Individualized "I AM" Presence WILL HELP in this transmutation when called into action to do so, and thus save the outer self even the knowledge of much of that wherein he erred. Remember "to err is human; to forgive is Divine"!
