The Holy Trinity Picture

Description and Symbolism

Taken from The Bridge to Freedom

September 1959

(Beloved chelas,  

Sunday, September 7, 1997 was the first time service was held at Shamballa with the magnificent painting 'The Holy Trinity Picture' hanging in the back of the Sanctuary, enfolding all chelas in attendance in its sacred essence. This perfect representation of the Seven Bodies of Man was created back in the 1950's and below you shall find a reading from The September, 1959 Bridge to Freedom magazine that explains this painting. It is our hope that one day, every chela will have the opportunity to experience the truth and reality contained within this painting.)

Preliminary Description 

Here we have a picture of the Electronic Body, or the Individualized I AM Presence, made in the image and likeness of God; the Causal Body, or the forcefield or Spiritual Aura of the I AM Presence; and the Holy Christ Self, invisible in the picture, but depicted within the Threefold Flame in the heart of the physical human, which acts as intermediary between the I AM Presence and the outer consciousness of humanity.  

Then we have the physical man, with the four lower vehicles, the emotional, mental, etheric and physical bodies, enfolded in the Violet Fire of Mercy and Compassion. Outside of it the Mantle of Light of the I AM Presence, previously called the tube of light. All this on a pale blue background representing the firmament, on a green covered surface representing the Earth.

The Electronic Body (the AM Presence) 

The Electronic Body (the Individualized I AM Presence) represents the perfect being surrounded by a halo of pure white light. The Yellow Flame on the forehead representing wisdom, the Blue Flame in the throat representing power; the Pink Flame in the heart—enfolded in a mantle of light—representing Love. From the head issue twelve White Rays, ten of which are to bless and expand pure divine love, to answer petitions from the outer personality and to communicate with other Cosmic Beings. Of the other two rays, the one above is the connecting link with the 'White Fire Being', from whence the two I AM Presences consciously descended. The one below, between the throat, through the heart of the I AM Presence, to the head of the physical man, is in reality, the stepped down prolongation of the upper ray which connects the I AM Presence with its source, the 'White Fire Being', who in turn is connected with the Divine Source for this universe (system of worlds) the Sun God and Goddess, Helios and Vesta.  

The twelve rays from the head of the I AM Presence are symbolically connected with the twelve gates, the twelve angels at the gates, and the twelve foundations of the New Jerusalem (Rev XXI: 9:14), and with the twelve manner of fruits of the tree of life, the leaves of which are for the healing of nations (Rev XXII: 2). There is also a relation between the twelve rays and the twelve signs of the Zodiac and even with the twelve sons of Jacob and the twelve disciples of Jesus.

The Causal Body

The reservoir of all the good stored by the lifestream, from whence we can draw all we require, is called the Causal Body and is represented by seven circular bands of vibrating colors of living, intelligent and God-qualified energies and virtues. They are related to the Seven Spheres, the Seven Rays, the Seven Chohans, the Seven Archangels and the Seven Elohim. Let us consider these bands of color, starting from the center outwards:  

Blue: It has a white center surrounded by a sapphire blue radiance. This represents the First Ray of Power, which is the Will of God, the Head of which is the Chohan of the First Ray, the Ascended Master El Morya. From this band we can draw power, the capacity to lead people and manifest energy to accomplish any constructive service, as well as the Illumined Faith of Archangel Michael and the Strength of Elohim Hercules.  

Yellow: This represents the Second Ray of Wisdom, the Head of which is the Chohan of the Second Ray (Ascended Master Dwjal Khul). Until recently this Office was held by the beloved Ascended Master Kuthumi, whose successor was Lord Lanto (who still serves as Patriarch at The Temple of the Great White Brotherhood). From this band we can draw inspiration for all educational and religious endeavors, as well as constancy from the Archangel Jophiel and Illumination of Elohim Cassiopeia.   

Pink: This represents the Third Ray of Love and Compassion, the Head of which is the Chohan of the Third Ray, the beloved Ascended Master Paul, the Venetian (now beloved Ascended Master, Lady Rowena fulfills this responsibility as Paul has become the Holy Spirit for this planet and Holy Æolus, the Cosmic Holy Spirit). From this band we can draw all the love we require for our altruistic endeavors and for our use in our daily living to bring about tolerance and understanding, as well as the love of Archangel Chamuel and of the Elohim Orion.  

White: This represents the Fourth Ray of Purity and the Ascension, the Head of which is the Chohan of the Fourth Ray, the beloved Ascended Master Serapis Bey. From this band we can draw inspiration as artists, writers, sculpturers and architects and limitless help to accelerate our journey back 'Home', as well as the capacity to hold the Immaculate Conception of Archangel Gabriel and the Purity of the Elohim of Purity.  

Green: This represents the Fifth Ray of Truth, the Head of which is the Chohan of the Fifth Ray, the beloved Ascended Master Hilarion. From this band we can draw Healing and Inspiration for inventions and scientific research, as well as the Healing Essence of the Archangel Raphael and the Cosmic Christ Truth of the Elohim Vista, who assists in developing inner sight.  

Ruby: This color has a golden radiance. This represents the Sixth Ray of Ministration and Peace. Until recently this office was by beloved Ascended Master Jesus, then his successor was Lady Nada. (Now John, the Beloved holds this office). From this band we can draw Comfort, Healing and Peace, as well as the Ministration of Archangel Uriel and the Peace of the Elohim of Peace, Tranquility.  

Purple: This represents the Seventh Ray of Mercy and Forgiveness, the head of which is the Chohan of the Seventh Ray, the beloved Ascended Master Saint Germain. From this band we can draw the Violet Fire of Forgiveness to purify ourselves and others, as well as the Power of Invocation of God's Blessings through the intercession of the Archangel Zadkiel and the purifying radiance of Elohim Arcturus.

The Holy Christ Self 

The Holy Christ Self is anchored within the heart of every man, woman and child belonging to this Earth's evolution. It is focused within the Immortal, Victorious Threefold Flame within the heart of the lower figure. It acts as a transformer of the good projected to and through it from the I AM Presence, lowering its rate of vibration so that the physical man is able to perceive it. It acts as the Mediator between the outer consciousness of man and the I AM Presence. As the student learns to love this Holy Christ Flame, it expands and takes complete possession of the four lower bodies, making every individual a Christ in Action, as the Ascended Master Jesus manifested in his embodiment centuries ago!  

The Physical Man 

The physical man, with uplifted hands of aspiration towards the I AM Presence is enveloped within the purifying Violet Fire of Mercy and Compassion. Outside of the Violet Fire of Love and Compassion, is the protecting Presence of the Mantle of White Light, which deflects alt impurities and dangers directed towards the individual and also absorbs and transmutes all the untransmuted karma from within the individual.
