Your Soul's God Identity

If a picture is worth a thousand words, what might be said about the worth of a glyph of Light that would open the eyes of the soul for millions...a single glyph so accurate, that it would recall the soul-the soul that is a million light-years away from her God-Reality-back to the point of the seat-of-the-soul chakra and to the desiring of resolution, to the worship of her God, to the invocation of the I AM THAT I AM?*

Perhaps that it is invaluable.

That glyph of Light, shown in the video, is called The Chart of  Your Divine Self--the I AM Presence. It is one of the most interesting charts I've ever seen.

One of the best (and shortest) explanations of the Chart that I've heard is that given by Elizabeth Clare Prophet (1 min. 50 sec. Youtube).

And, here's one of the best explanations I've read about why the Chart is so significant:

*That wallet-sized card on which the Chart is stamped and which has the description on the back does reawaken souls to their original identity, to the God who is with them and in them. It is the most important single glyph of Light, a photograph of the [soul's] inner being; and its accuracy is such that it does recall the soul–the soul that is a million light-years away from her God-Reality–back to the point of the seat-of-the-soul chakra and to the desiring of resolution, to the worship of her God, to the invocation of the I AM THAT I AM.
There is no greater gift that you can give to anyone than the understanding of his own Mighty I AM Presence, his Holy Christ Self and his evolving soul, as depicted in the lower figure in the Chart surrounded by the violet flame.

"Climb the Highest Mountain" a Chapter at a Time...

What would I recommend that people read and become familiar with, in this, the very beginning of the Aquarian Age?

Well, I'd recommend the Climb the Highest Mountain series also known as the Everlasting Gospel. These foundational spiritual teachings for the Aquarian Age began with the writings of Mark L. Prophet and continued with Elizabeth Clare Prophet and are found in 10 volumes, which include that extremely interesting book, The Masters and Their Retreats. That's it. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Now, granted, it would definitely take more than "a month of Sundays" to peruse and digest the teachings in just one of the books--more like a year of Sundays. But, what a great way that would be to start your week, for say, the next 10 years or so!

Here's a list of the available books included in the series:

1. The Path of the Higher Self
2. The Path of Self Transformation
3. The Masters and the Spiritual Path
4. The Path of Brotherhood
5. The Path of the Universal Christ
6. Paths of Light and Darkness
7. The Path to Immortality
8. The Path of Christ or Antichrist
9. The Path to Attainment
10. The Masters and Their Retreats

How much value did Mark Prophet place on these specific teachings? In his own words:

"The concepts are advanced and progressive. They will give you a new lease on life. You’ll want that book by your bedside to read morning, noon and night as long as you live, and I’m not exaggerating.”

So, how would one go about studying these teachings of the Ascended Masters for the New Millennium? Well, I'd recommend just a chapter at a time!

Elizabeth Clare Prophet: Words of Compassion to Those Who Have Aborted

I recently had the opportunity to listen (via Internet connection) to a live presentation by Carol Everett, former abortion provider and founder of the Heidi Group in Texas, which has helped women with unintended pregnancies since 1995.

According to two friends of mine, you could have heard a pin drop when she was sharing her story.

You'll understand why, if you take a minute to listen to her speak or when you read this excellent introduction to Everett from Holly Hansen's Blog, Smart Girl Politics,Who Really Cares About Women?:

In the 1970's and 80's, Everett worked as a director of abortion clinics in the Dallas area and eventually opened her own clinics. As she describes in her book Blood Money: Getting Rich Off A Woman's Right to Choose, Everett made $150,000 a year selling abortions and was on target to make $260,000 in 1983. She also describes her sales methods in the book, including 'family planning' services; prescribing low-dose birth control pills that were sure to fail, thus promising more abortion income for the clinic. As for 'caring for women,' Everett's harrowing description of fatally botched abortions reveals the callousness of an industry devoted to profit.

At the end of her presentation, there was a panel discussion where people could ask her questions--she did a great and honest job answering them and encouraging people to contact their local pro-life groups to see how they might begin to take action in their own communities.

My friends told me that what could not go unnoticed, were the women in the audience who had tears running down their faces--some even sobbing into the arms of their friends and partners. Somehow, Carol's sharing of her own abortion experience and subsequent work as an abortion provider (with all the gruesome details) had deeply touched quite a few women and men in the audience.

What those women and men in the audience needed to know was that, along with teachings about the healing and transmutative power of the violet flame, Elizabeth Clare Prophet has had much to say to those who have been involved with abortion--offering some of the most compassionate teachings I've ever heard:

In Wanting to be Born, The Cry of the Soul, There Is Forgiveness After Abortion, (page 78-80), we read:

Many people deeply regret their choices regarding abortion. God in his infinite mercy forgives and in his justice provides ways to atone. God does not condemn us for our ignorance or our lack of understanding, for, truly, if we knew better, we would do better.

There is mercy and forgiveness and healing after abortion. If you have aborted a child, do not condemn yourself or abide in a sense of unworthiness. This will do nothing for the child, for you or for God. Instead, look for ways to serve and honor life.

Involvement in abortion--whether you had one, encouraged one or performed them, and whether or not you knew it was a sin at the time--will not prevent your returning to the heart of God in the ritual of the ascension in this lifetime if you give yourself to God in a service that can balance that karma.

Depending on your circumstances, you may have the opportunity to give birth to that soul (or to another soul if this option is not available). Adoption of a child may also be an alternative for you.

You may also be able to balance the karma through service to life, through sponsoring children, working with children, praying for the youth and through educating others about the spiritual issues of abortion.

Ascended Master Afra--Brother of Light

Mrs. Prophet, some of our black brothers and sisters are wondering where they fit in the Great White Brotherhood.

Interesting and timeless question, with an equally interesting and timeless answer!

And, what was Elizabeth Clare Prophet’s answer?

Our black brothers and sisters are very much a part of the Great White Brotherhood. The black race was originally part of what was known as the blue race and the violet race, a high civilization that existed on the continent of Africa at the time of Lemuria.

The first ascended master to rise from the black race was the Ascended Master Afra. Afra is a soul of great light who evolved on the continent of Africa….

…all of the races that we find on earth have come forth from the heart of God under the seven rays—and these seven rays, as we know, are paths of initiation.

…The members of what is called the black race have come forth on the blue ray and the violet ray. In the ancient civilization on the continent of Africa, their skin actually had a blue or a violet hue. These colors are related to Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending.

Check out a few chapters of Afra: Brother of Light, Spiritual Teachings from an Ascended Master.

Jesus went where?

Family. Nothing quite like it--for better or for worse!

Now, one of the other (7) books by Mark and Elizabeth Clare Prophet that John and I had acquired over the 18 months prior to his diagnosis was The Lost Years of Jesus: Documentary Evidence of Jesus' 17 Year Journey. I started reading it when he got sick and took it with me on our trips to the clinics. I was looking for something on the lighter side, something interesting; something close to a novel. It was interesting--filled with pictures and maps; got my mind off our problems for a bit, and, most importantly, didn’t require much from me.


One night, I got home late from visiting John at the hospital and one of my aunts and my grandmother, who were babysitting, were still up. I got a glass of water, thanked them for their help, and started to go upstairs to bed. My aunt (unfortunately plagued by chronic narrow-mindedness), picked my copy of The Lost Years of Jesus off the kitchen table and, holding it somewhat in my face, asked, “So, where do you think he was?” I said, “What?” She said, “Jesus. Where do you think he was?” It was not going to be pleasant and I was determined to not engage.

I said, “It’s late. I’m going to bed. I haven’t finished the book yet and I’m not going to get into a debate with you.” My grandmother piped up, “I know where he was--he went to the East to study.” I said, “Oh, were you reading the book?” She said, “No. My father told me when I was 12 years old.” I said, “What?” She said, “When I was 12 years old, I was attending the Sacred Heart Academy in New York City.” (She was half French, half Italian; born in Constantinople and raised speaking French, English and Italian.) “One night I asked my father where Jesus was between the age of 12 and when his story started up again in the New Testament. He asked me where I thought he was. I told him that I didn’t know where he was, but I didn’t believe that he spent all those years doing woodwork and carpentry with his father. My father said, ‘You’re right. He didn’t.’”

She went on to explain that before meeting her mother, her father had been interested in becoming a Jesuit priest. He had a friend who was a Jesuit who was working in the Vatican at the time (before 1900), who gave him a small book to read and told him that if he could read that and go forward with the knowledge contained within, and understand and be able to live with the fact that it would never be shared with the Catholic lay people of the world, then he would be able to be an excellent Jesuit. My great-grandfather read the book, and decided he could not become a Jesuit. Why not? Because the book told about the same story that is told in The Lost Years of Jesus--that Jesus went to the East, to India and Tibet and studied with the lamas and teachers there, before he returned to begin his mission of three years as described in the Gospels. My great-grandfather could not reconcile the Catholic Church keeping such critical information from the people.

My aunt, who was listening to her mother’s story in disbelief, said, “Why didn’t you ever tell us?”

My grandmother looked up at her with her big, deep-set brown/black eyes and, very matter-of-factly said, “You never asked.”

On that extraordinarily awkward note, I went to bed and left them to their own discussion.

Ah…family dynamics! Ya’ never know what your grandma knows unless you ask!

Today is Tuesday, and it is blue. Blue is the color of God’s Will. While it was my growing faith in and acceptance of God’s Will that would sustain me then and in years to come, my grandmother’s newly revealed family mysteries contributed greatly to the “coloring” of my journey!
