Beloved Friends of my heart,

Good morning my dear and faithful chelas! My message to you today shall begin with a very simple statement. It is time to manifest the future of your planet now in this physical world of form! And because all change must first come from within; "Are your ready?” My greeting to you includes the words 'good and faithful'. Recently, has it seemed more difficult to be so? If your answer is yes, do not be too hard on yourself, for God knows what is in your heart. She also knows what a challenge it is to live on this planet and not be of it.

The world is rapidly changing, beloved ones. The time has come for the Earth to prepare itself and exemplify its designation in the grand design of all creation as Freedom's Holy Star. It is time for all lightworkers, guardian spirits, spiritual teachers, healers and awakened souls to become that which you know in your hearts you are. We can wait no longer and neither can you.

What do you want your legacy to be beloved ones? What do you want the legacy of The Bridge to Spiritual Freedom to be? Will those who come after you say the individuals who belonged to this organization were nice but how could they be in an Activity of Light and speak the way they do or behave in a manner unbecoming to a chela of the ascended masters? Perhaps, they will decide The Bridge is just like so many others, a lot of grand ideas and fancy words but very little substance. Think about these questions for a moment, dear chelas, and then ask yourself what you want your gift to this Activity to be or, better yet, what do you want your gift to life to be?

I know from my experience on Earth, that these are tough questions but they are ones which now must be asked and, more importantly, ones you must answer before you can continue further upon your paths. You, individually and collectively, stand at a fork in the road of your spiritual evolution, beloved ones. You may either take the very long and gently meandering road, with its many stops for rest and relaxation with many side trips along the way. Or you can take the much shorter, straighter route. However, even though the second one is much more direct, it can seem to be more difficult.

You will find many mountains to climb and many valleys to cross on this section of your journey. Occasionally you may even fall down but, with the many tools you have been given, you will be able to pick yourself up, dust off your knees and continue on your path. And, if you find you just cannot do this yourself, be assured there will be those, both ascended and unascended, who will be there to assist you. Truly, your tests will be more arduous but I guarantee your rewards will be greater and you will get to your destination much more quickly.

I know my words are familiar, for you have heard them many times before in many ways, but they are no less important this time. Humanity has come far since the beginning of the Christian Dispensation but we seem to have lost something along the way. Yes, there are many new inventions, medicines and medical treatments, and conveniences to make living easier but have we really come that far when it comes to how we treat others? I think not and I believe you will agree with me. Change must take place on this planet and it must begin with you and the activity of The Bridge to Spiritual Freedom.

Unify your energies, beloved ones! Cooperate, support and above all revere each other's gift and talents, recognizing that the Presence of God is within each other. Look to the past with open eyes and, without judgment, learn from the mistakes of those who came before to understand the path you must now take. As beloved Mary said in her message, recall what has taken place since the word 'spiritual' was added to the name of this Activity of Light? It is time for many of the intangible aspects of this organization to become real and true, by manifesting them in the physical world of form. As with most things, you, my friends and co-servers, have come far in this transformation but this process must continue to take place as The Bridge to Spiritual Freedom and Shamballa are made more sacred, whole and free.

At the core of this process is the Violet Transmuting Flame! Its constant use in your life can not be stressed enough. As my chelas you must use, use, use and when you think you have been purified enough, use the Violet Flames again. You must not just stand within a shaft of Violet Fire; you must become a mighty pillar of Violet Fire, using it in all aspects of your life, without even thinking about it. The Sacred Fire must become like your breath and heartbeat. You must also radiate this holy essence out to others, sharing this gift with them until they, too, come to understand the importance of this wonderful gift from our Mother-Father God.

Especially important is its use in a spiritual community. It will weave it magic without hardly anyone noticing it is being used at all. In the blink of an eye, it can change judgment and anger to kindness and love. It will assist you to not dwell upon what you cannot do or what you do not have. Instead, it will show you what you can do and what you do have. Rejoice in the gifts of your sisters and brothers, beloved ones! Support and nurture each other as you live and learn from each other. The Violet Fire is intelligent. It will go into any situation, person or object as long as someone such as you my beloved chelas are available to serve as the conductor of this sacred and holy energy.

Remember always, purification, transmutation and freedom must begin with you! To assist you in this task, until the end of this conference, I will remain in this building in a very special place, patiently waiting to share much more with you. Before you leave this majestic temple, take a few moments to quietly sit beside the fire. Enter the silence of your heart and listen for my voice.

Your friend of freedom,

Saint Germain
