Divine Principles

How to attain true Freedom

October, 1961

Beloved Hearts of Freedom, what is Freedom in its essence? If you will examine the consciousness in the contemplation of Freedom, you will find you think of it as a negative aspect of the Law; getting away from limitations, getting away from bondage, getting away from sickness, from age - escape out of shadows!

I am going to show you the positive aspect of Freedom - getting into the heart of the Sacred Fire! As the self-conscious intelligence directing the Fire Element, you shall become master over circumstances. This is my request for you; that you learn the power which is in the Sacred Fire until the Sacred Fire within your heart, obedient to the self-conscious intelligence which you are, flashes forth at your command and is instantly master of energy wherever you meet it!

In the bringing of the Seven Flames of the Archangel and the Elohim to your attention, we are endeavoring to show you the aspect of the Sacred Fire which you can wield. Within the Flame in your Heart is every one of these Divine Aspects, represented in the Hierarchy by some God-free Being: Mercy, Purity, Freedom, Light, Opulence, Healing.

You must become acquainted with the Sacred Fire within your heart beat. You must learn to free that Fire at your conscious call, and then rely upon its efficacy to act for you, removing the sense of strain which comes from endeavoring to press the law into service through human will.

The Sacred Fire acts - it is intelligent - it acts when invoked and it will act for you according to the activity of it that you in contemplation desire to draw forth.

Please beloved ones, use these activities of the Sacred Fire in a practical manner for the regulation of the conditions of your worlds, in your homes, and in your affairs. If you are not the master control of the fire element which is abiding within your heart, which is only a few inches in height, how do you expect to be the master control of a series of fire bodies when you function as an Ascended Being?

Your feeling world is made up of water; our feeling worlds are made up of fire! Your mental bodies are made up of ethers; our mental bodies are made up of particles of living, vibrating, pulsating flame! Your physical bodies, your garments are flesh; ours are bodies of fire! For a consciousness to earn the right to function within fire bodies, they must first learn to draw forth and master conditions in the 3rd dimensional world through the portion of the Sacred Fire entrusted to them. When you can utilize the latent power within the Immortal Flame of God that beats your heart, you have earned the right to the fire of your Causal Bodies; you have earned the right to the Fire of Freedom in its fullness.

Beloved ones, become acquainted with the power that is yours - experiment with the use of the Sacred Fire. How many centuries did I do so before I earned the right to stand before the Karmic Board and hear those words: "You have now earned the right to consciously function in a White Fire Body, because through the fire element anchored within a physical body, you have mastered external and internal conditions, and you therefore qualify as a Lord of the Flame"!

That is your training now! You have been chosen among all others on the Earth today, to be fashioned into the Living Heart of Freedom, and you are being trained through your conscious mind and feelings to rely wholly upon the Sacred Fire which is the immortal Presence of God beating your physical heart, awaiting your conscious invocation to come forth through your world and manifest itself!

What are priests and priestesses of the Flame? Individuals who have learned through invocation to set into motion the power of the Sacred Fire and to rest in it until manifestation occurs!

How long I was attracted to the power of alchemy before I attained my freedom! The physical flame itself held a great attraction for me, and I felt within my self that in that fire element was the master control of the various elements in the physical appearance world. In those ages we were endeavoring to develop formulas for gold out of base metals. Our consciousness stepping down the idea of transmutation, finally mastered it; but by the time we had done so, I had learned that which I wished to do most, was to transmute my lower nature into the Divine Nature of my Master and my great Teacher; and the gold, like so many of the things that humanity feel are so important, was a nothing before the new and deep burning desire - and one day that too was accomplished!

I know, therefore, the feelings in your hearts, I know the tremendous interest in the things of a spiritual nature that has enabled you to pass through the initiations of these years, and to stand as enthusiastic, as powerfully vibrant in your spiritual energies today as you were when you first began. The spiritual enthusiasm of the average man lasts no longer than a year before they burn to ash and are no more; but the spiritual enthusiasm of a chela intensifies and increases through privation and through the various vicissitudes of the mental, emotional and physical natures, adding coals to the fire of enthusiasm by the various experiences that would dim the light of a lesser man. Thus we know that the Light, itself, will do the sifting and sorting for us. Those who remain after the ash is swept away, are the pure diamond core of Light, and on these we can say in truth that we will build a foundation which will last for many, many hundreds of years beyond the time when your blessed earth garments are outworn and you enter into the fire garments you have earned. Oh, we build for a beautiful day my children.
