The Attainment of True Freedom

Taken from the August 1969 Bridge

I have long awaited the opportunity of consciously training a group of incarnate chelas in the use of the powers within the sacred fire. This opportunity is now afforded me through your consciousness and my training shall be twofold. First, in the loosing of your consciousness in cosmic service and secondly, in loosing the power within the sacred fire in your hearts to develop God Mastery and Control in your individual worlds.

For many ages, the teacher of the mysteries has had to deal with consciousness intent upon one thing, the gaining of power and mastery for individual freedom. I find myself with a group of selfless souls so intent upon cosmic service that individual mastery and freedom have become a sideline! Again, we must come to the Middle Way! I want you to be God Free, beautiful men and women in the full mastery of perfect health, indestructible harmony, infinite supply and affluence and with the power to write the name of freedom in the hearts and consciousness of all who are bound; to remain as a living monument to the flame I represent; and to return each man, woman and child to the God Estate. To this end, as a personal and separate service apart from my cosmic office, shall I dedicate a portion of my life in this development.

Beloved hearts of freedom, what is freedom in its essence? If you will examine the consciousness in the contemplation of freedom, you will find that you think of it as a negative aspect of the law, getting away from limitations; getting away from bondage; getting away from sickness and age and escape out of the 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 that is within 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 archangels 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, such as mercy, purity, freedom, light, opulence, healing and many others.

You must become acquainted with the sacred fire within your heartbeat. You must learn to free that fire at your conscious call and then rely upon its efficacy to act for you, thus removing the sense of strain which comes from endeavoring to press the law into service through human will. The sacred fire is intelligent. When invoked, it will act for you according to the activity that you, in contemplation, desire to draw forth.

Beloved ones, please use these activities of the sacred fire in a practical manner for the regulation of the conditions in your worlds, in your homes, and in your affairs. If you are not the master control of the fire element which abides within your heart, how do you expect to be the master control of a series of fire bodies when you function as an ascended being?

Your feeling worlds are 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 are garments of flesh; ours are bodies of fire! For a consciousness to earn the right to function within a fire body, it must first learn to draw forth and master conditions in the third dimensional world through that portion of the sacred fire entrusted to it. When you can utilize the latent power within the Immortal Threefold Flame of God within your hearts, 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! I did so for many centuries 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 from among all others upon the Earth today to be fashioned into the living Heart of Freedom. You have been 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 which but awaits your conscious invocation to come forth through your world and manifest itself.

Who are the Priests and Priestesses of the Flame? They are individuals who have learned, through invocation, to set into motion the power of the sacred fire and to rest within it until manifestation occurs. I was attracted to the power of alchemy for a long time before I attained my freedom. The physical flame itself held a great attraction for me and I felt within myself 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 producing gold out of base metals. Stepping down the idea of transmutation into our consciousness, we finally mastered the process, but by the time we had done so, I had learned that which I wished to do most of all 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 humankind feels are so important, was as nothing before that new and deep-rooted desire, and one day that too, was accomplished.

Therefore I know the feelings within 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 many years, and to stand as enthusiastic, as powerfully vibrant in your spiritual energies today as when you first began. The spiritual enthusiasm of the average man usually lasts no longer than a year before it burns to ash and is 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 do we know that the Light itself will do the sifting and sorting for us. Those who remain after the ashes are swept away are the pure diamond core of Light and upon these we can say in truth, that we will build a foundation which will last for many hundreds of years beyond the time when your blessed Earth garments are laid aside and you enter the fire garments you have earned. Oh, we build for a beautiful day, my children!
