Beloved chelas of sacred fire, 

I understand very well that the past seven days may not have been easy, for as you were enfolded in my flame, the truth and reality of your thoughts and actions were quickly revealed and you realized there are still areas of your life in need of improvement especially in your relationships with others. I ask you not to tarry even for a moment filling yourself with guilt or any other negative quality. Instead, learn from the errors of your ways and call upon the merciful, transmuting flames of the sacred Violet Fire. Repeat as often as necessary those words that should be so familiar to everyone: Forgive Me! Forgive Me! Forgive Me! Do this until you truly feel you have been forgiven my beloved chelas. Remember also to forgive yourself for your transgressions by using the other half of this process:  I Forgive! I Forgive! I Forgive! 

When you continue to hold anger, resentment and hurt in your four lower vehicles and cannot, or will not let these negative qualities go into the Violet Fire of Transmutation and Purification, how can you stand firmly anchored in the Flame of Truth and accept your own divinity? You cannot! It is impossible to do both of these things. You may believe, whatever my reaction, I'm doing the best I can. In response to this I must say: If indeed this truly is the best that you can do then so be it until you move a little further up the ladder of spiritual enlightenment. But when these words are used by your ego to excuse your thoughts, feelings and actions you must stop right there and say: 

`Ego, be still, for with the full recognition and acceptance of my own divinity, it is time for you to know and take your rightful place within my being! You will no longer run my life! From this day forth I must use my own free will and follow the Will of my Father-Mother God. I shall no longer use my words and actions to continue to fan the flames of judgment by sharing negative words with others, soliciting their energy, hoping they will join me in seeing the error of another person's ways. Instead I shall seek out someone to assist me in releasing the negative thoughts, feelings and emotions I have concerning another and work out my problems in a positive manner.' 

The question now becomes; who to go to with problems such as these? My first suggestion may not be one you want to hear, for the person you are having difficulty with is truly the place to start to resolve your differences. However, if you are unable to do this or have done so without resolution, you must next go within and make sure you are not the reason a healing cannot take place. What are you unwilling to change with regards to the situation to make it better? Do you perceive some loss of power, status or authority if you might have to admit that you were wrong in a situation? 

This, my friend, is nothing more than fear raising its ugly head again in an attempt to control you. Do you realize that fear is responsible for more wars, major battles, broken nations, battered families or damaged friendships than any other feeling in the entire spectrum of emotions? I doubt you have ever really considered this fact but you must for the time has come where fear and all its attendant qualities and activities must have no place in this world. Why do you think we keep bring it to your attention in so many different ways? 

"Pride goeth before the fall of man". Do not be too proud to admit that either you were partially, equally or fully to blame for any division of God's Love between you and another human being for once this has taken place the healing can begin. It is time, beloved ones, to take responsibility for every aspect of your life. However, I caution you that before this can happen you must first enfold yourself in the violet transmuting flames of mercy, compassion and forgiveness and take a really good look at yourself. 

I remind you that those of us in the higher ascended realms know how much courage, strength, faith and love this takes for we have stood where you now stand beloved ones. It was through our perseverance, determination, humility and many times by the Grace of God that we were able to work with the different areas of our lives in need of healing, making the necessary changes. I assure you that if we were able to conquer the many obstacles that lay before us on our path, then so too shall you dear chelas. Bathe often in my flames during this coming week and see what you can learn about yourselves.
