Beloved Students, 

In your life, the process of relinquishment of your human will can be accelerated if you ritualize both the decision and the action. Enlightened ritual is one of the attributes of the Seventh Ray, and it is very important. Enlightened ritual is the rhythmic calling forth of the perfection of God, in complete understanding that I AM is all there is. In a sense, it is the habitual recognition of the Truth of Being, combined with the active invocation of that perfection. 

Enlightened Ritual always emerges from the spiritually awakened consciousness. It knows nothing of rote and is not merely a mechanical repetition of words and actions. Arising from the understanding of the Divine Principles involved, it is a process which engages all of the creative energy of a lifestream or group of lifestreams, in perfect peace, to manifest the perfection of God in the world of form. 

Consider the state of your consciousness, as you perform your daily decrees for perfection. You have already learned, through experience, that decrees are most effective when you engage all of your consciousness in the activity. You use the gifts of your mind, in visualization; your emotions, through love; and your physical body, by sitting or standing erect and straight, radiating God's energies into the world through your chakric system. When your entire being is fully engaged in the activity of decreeing, you know, feel, and often see the energy move forth into the world. In addition, you are able to recognize the manifestation when it occurs! 

In your journey toward perfect and complete relinquishment of your human will to that of the Divine, ritualization will serve to call forth the activity of the Seventh Ray to expand and sustain your conscious dedication to God's Holy Will, while transmuting the vestiges of human will which might block your path. 

One way to ritualize your decision is to write a personal decree or letter of consecration to your I AM Presence. Your personal Spiritual Journal is the perfect vehicle for this type of work. When you have written your decree, you can then incorporate it into your daily work. This will help to redirect your vision away from human illusion, lifting you into a vibration of loving service in your daily life. In addition, it will align you with the vibration of the Flame of Wisdom, which perceives and acknowledges the perfection of God's Will at work in all manifestation. Through this Flame, you will be at peace with the demonstrations of energy which surround you, for you will know, with all of your Being,  that God's perfection is working through all life right now, in spite of any appearance to the contrary. 

Use your free will to call forth the perfection which is eternally present in God's Holy Will. Ritualize this process, first through your Spiritual Journal and then through your daily life. Then, watch and wait and see what happens! 

Love, Kuthumi
