Elizabeth Clare Prophet: Kuthumi's Exposé on False Teachings and False Teachers

 






    Forty-four years ago, Elizabeth Clare Prophet gave a landmark presentation on The Guru-Chela Relationship with the Ascended Masters.(1)   During the lecture, Mrs. Prophet explained the importance of the Exposé of False Teachers and False Teachings by the Ascended Master Kuthumi and the Brothers of the Golden Robe.  Although over four decades have passed, the information and Mrs. Prophet's comments about the Exposé are still relevant to those who aspire to be chelas of the Ascended Masters:

·        "Everyone who reads it and studies it says, 'This is what we needed to know because it pinpoints what are the lies, what are the things that we have heard preached by the various teachers of East and West that are simply not doctrinally correct. It also exposes many teachers who have come and gone who are not sponsored by the Great White Brotherhood.  And, since the path of the Great White Brotherhood is the highest path, we need to know that the person we are working with has met the requirements of being a chela under the seven chohans….'”                    

                                                    

          Below is a beautiful rendition of the Ascended Master Kuthumi's musical keynote, Kashmiri Song, by Amy Woodforde-Finden (2):

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.

Ascended Masters on The Miraculous Medal




"Times are evil...in the world."

Another 2012 prediction? No--a statement made by the Blessed Mother who appeared to a young nun in France, in 1830 Sister Catherine Laboure:

Saint Catherine Labouré stated that on the night of July 18, 1830, she awoke upon hearing a voice of a child calling her to the sisters' chapel (located in the Rue du Bac, Paris), where she heard the Blessed Virgin Mary say to her, "God wishes to charge you with a mission. You will be contradicted, but do not fear; you will have the grace to do what is necessary. Tell your spiritual director all that passes within you. Times are evil in France and in the world."

On November 27, 1830, Catherine reported that the Blessed Mother returned during evening meditations. She displayed herself inside an oval frame, standing upon a globe, wearing many rings of different colors, most of which shone rays of light over the globe. Around the margin of the frame appeared the words Ô Marie, conçue sans péché, priez pour nous qui avons recours à vous (in English, O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee). As Catherine watched, the frame seemed to rotate, showing a circle of twelve stars, a large letter M surmounted by a cross, and the stylized Sacred Heart of Jesus crowned with thorns and Immaculate Heart of Mary pierced with a sword. Asked why some of her rings did not shed light, Mary reportedly replied, "Those are the graces for which people forget to ask." Catherine then heard Mary ask her to take these images to her father confessor, telling him that they should be put on medallions, and saying "All who wear them will receive great graces."

Catherine did so, and after two years' of investigation and observation of Catherine's normal daily behavior, the priest took the information to his archbishop without revealing Catherine's identity. The request was approved and medallions began to be produced. [2] Those who wore the medal felt that they had received great blessings, and the medal came to be referred to as the "Miraculous Medal". They proved to be popular, and the medals spread worldwide.
Wikipedia.

Catholics are not the only ones who believe in the intercession of Mary. In The Age of the Divine Mother, by Elizabeth Clare Prophet, we read an excerpt from a message from the Blessed Mother:

The Miraculous Medal

Many of you are aware of the power of the focuses of light that manifest in form in various ways as jewels of light. You will recall that in the last century, in the year 1830, I appeared to one to describe the Miraculous Medal. And in my appearance, I showed the jewels that I wear on each of my fingers, focusing the virtues of God that are to be in manifestation in man. And I gave to that sweet soul who communed with me the direction for having the Miraculous Medal made. As so it has been made, and it has been worn for over a century by those who believe in the power of the Mother flame.

...in giving the revelation for the Miraculous Medal, we [of the heavenly hosts] have a means of focusing our image, our matrix, over the very hearts of the faithful ones. For you see, it is only the faithful who would deign to wear a medal of the Virgin Mother or of Christ Jesus or the star of David or the image of the Buddha. And thus we seal each medal in the flame and in the fire of the perfect concept of the divine religion, the divine science and the protection of the soul for her incarnation
. (Pages 201-202)

Violet Flame Prayers and the Rosary for the Unborn and Their Families



If you are wondering how you can pray for the unborn and make a difference in the defense of life, consider praying the rosary or saying violet flame prayers.

There are many rosaries on the Internet that you can access and join in at any time of the day.  And, there are quite a few violet flame prayers that you can say on behalf of the unborn and their families.

When thinking about the inordinate number souls that have been denied an opportunity for life over the past 48 years just in America, it is almost impossible to not think of their families that have also been impacted and that are in need of healing. 

In the video above, Elizabeth Clare Prophet leads the simplest Violet Flame decree that you can begin to say anywhere, at any time and for anyone. 

If you want to focus on the souls who have been aborted or the unborn, you can visualize a picture of an unborn baby in their mother's womb surrounded by violet flame just like in the video.

Whether you choose to say the rosary or violet flame prayers on behalf of the unborn and their families; or for all children and their families around the world, you can make a difference.

On the Ascended Masters Begging for Action on Behalf of the Unborn: Abortion Today

 



“Where are the clergy who will take their stand against abortion as the aborting of the life of a soul of God and her opportunity to embody?”

~Ascended Master Hilarion, April 26, 1991

 

 

 Thirty years ago, in 1991, there were at least 10 messages from the Ascended Masters regarding the tragedy, burden and karma of abortion plaguing this planet, and, especially, the United States of America.

Since posting an updated article earlier this year, Abortion 2021: Don’t Depend Upon Church and Clergy to Enlighten You—Be Proactive and Work with Angels, I’ve become aware of what may be the main reason so many churches and their clergy refrain from addressing abortion from their pulpits and creating life-affirming materials for their members to study and share with others:  They want to be popular and refrain from offending anyone who may have already had an abortion; they do not want to hurt anyone’s feelings or offend any potential donors or tithers.

It’s much easier to embrace a non-offensive, politically correct outreach ministry such as feeding the hungry and clothing the poor, because my gosh, who doesn’t want to feed the hungry and clothe the poor? They are, sadly, everywhere on the planet, increasing in numbers by the day. 

Yet, if you take into consideration the words—and direct appeals and pleadings—of the Ascended Masters, such as those of Hilarion above, how can any of their students not embrace some kind of service or outreach in defense of the unborn?

According to Mother Mary’s teachings on the Cosmic Clock, 30 years lands us on the 6:00 line of God Harmony, with the perversions of “self-pity; self-justification and indecision” always being an option. Whether as individuals or as a group, we’re all tested on the same lines at the same time, depending upon our affiliations.

For anyone who has the time and inclination to read up on the Ascended Masters’ teachings (and requests) from 30 years ago, here is a list that includes Elizabeth Clare Prophet’s 1991 lecture on abortion, Life Begets Life:

Kuthumi's Exposé of False Teachings







  Several years ago,  I added  8 (now archived) posts that focused on excerpts from the Exposé of False Teachings series by the Ascended Master Kuthumi, from the 1976 Pearls of Wisdom, which are no longer available in print.

   For some unknown reason, spiritual seekers worldwide have been denied the Master's complete teachings on a most critical and relevant topic.  The unavailability of such a body of work by an ascended master regarding one of the most devastating hindrances to a soul's evolution is disconcerting.

   For anyone interested in reading the complete 15-part Exposé of False Teachings by the Ascended Master Kuthumi, here is a link to an excellent website that has all of them posted.

Violet Flame and Roses Are An Antidote To Anxiety and Imperil

 




         In October, 1995, the Ascended Master Saint Germain gave a dictation through the Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet entitled, We Must Have Change, How Shall It Be Done?  Even though twenty-six years have passed, his advice and direction could not be more timely or more relevant, especially to those who are students of the Ascended Masters anywhere in the world, yet most importantly, to those in the United States of America in 2021:

"Yes, beloved, unconscious, subconscious life at all levels is feeling the change. And there is a patine, an overlay of fear and anxiety throughout the planet. I want to see to it that my Keepers of the Flame have no conscious or unconscious anxiety. Remember the chapter in Intermediate Studies in Alchemy, “Anxiety and the Anxiety Syndrome.”<1> It is a syndrome. And if you allow yourself to enter into areas of anxiety (and these may be triggered by an even greater unconscious fear) and out of fear you go into a frenzy and then a fanaticism, then soon you are leaning heavily toward the left or heavily toward the right. Is this not so, beloved? Have we not seen it?

Well, beloved, you must look in yourselves. The messenger has given a lecture on imperil.<2> Imperil is anxiety to the extreme. When people carry that, they are not productive. They cannot bring forth fruit from the tree of life. Their anxiety continually hinders them from transcending the self. When they are caught in this extreme fanaticism that becomes radicalism that becomes a hatred so powerful that they are willing to kill human life to make their point, such as you have seen in Oklahoma and now in Arizona<3>—understand this, beloved, when you see this, it is almost as if that lifestream is so caught and so caught up in the extremist view that they cannot return to the heart of the Holy Christ Self."

Anyone who has ever been on the receiving end of fear-inducing emails sent out by well-meaning friends, neighbors and community and church leaders can appreciate Saint Germain's admonishment and plea to his students. Hopefully, those who are burdened by chronic anxiety might consider getting counseling for it, because it is a very common disorder, which can really take you and your family and friends---even an entire community or population---so far off track, you forget who you are and what you are here for.

We have all been warned about "those well-meaning individuals who do not tidy up their own conscious, subconscious and unconscious domains and therefore do not realize that they are unknowingly leaking the imperil of their irritability into subterranean pockets that are filled with darkness rather than light."  We may even be one of them at various times in our lives, but, there comes a time and a day of reckoning when we are on a spiritual path, to recognize that we have a responsibility to clean up our acts and stop contributing to world angst.  


While it is best to follow the advice of professionals regarding diagnosis and treatment for chronic anxiety and anxiety disorders, it is also helpful to know that there are natural remedies, such as essential oils, to help alleviate daily stress and, perhaps, nip anxiety in the bud. One such remedy was shared by a psychologist, the late Dr. Marilyn C, Barrick during The Guru-Chela Relationship Darshan, where she stated that "roses are an antidote to imperil," when sharing part of her own story of life on the spiritual path.


Most importantly, we have the opporunity to use the violet flame for the transmutation of fear and anxiety  and to learn about and say the prayer that Jesus gave us for the binding of the "Dweller on the Threshold" of all the substance of our lower self that is dragging us down and out and off the spiritual path and putting us in karma-making situations where we burden others, including elemental life, with our unresolved fears and anxieties. 


We have plenty of options to help ourselves, our friends and loved ones and our country and planet overcome what seems to be an epidemic of anxiety--these are just a few that some may find helpful.


*imperil:  2.  imperil (noun): the poison that results from fear, anxiety, anguish and irritability, all of which assume many forms. 


For more information about imperil, there is a CD available with teachings from the Ascendedd Masters and the Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet, "Imperil A Commanding Danger!"

Abortion 2021: Don't Depend upon Church and Clergy to Enlighten You--Be Pro-Active and Work with Angels!





          It’s now 2021, over 48 years since abortion became legal in the United States, which has resulted in 62,502,904 abortions—an incomprehensible number of souls denied their opportunity for life. Here is the post from 2/4/2020 that is still relevant today:

          I just read an article about a Christian minister who expressed his regret about not speaking out against abortion earlier in his ministry and another article about a Catholic priest in Rhode Island who quite publicly announced that he would not serve Holy Communion to politicians who supported a bill that allows abortion up to birth.

          So, kudos to those religious leaders who act on their beliefs and don’t shy away from their responsibility to “feed their sheep” and illumine their members re: the pro-life teachings of their churches.  You have to wonder, as a Catholic pro-life activist friend of mine did recently, “Where the heck are the rest of them and why do we only hear about abortion from the pulpit on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade?”  She was, of course, referring to her suburban parish, which has but one of three priests willing to preach on abortion.  And, she said, that the priest “gets clobbered” by the pro-choice Catholics in the parish, many of whom are “big donors,” whenever he speaks about the sanctity of life.

          “What’s wrong with the rest of them?  Why the heck don’t they step up to the plate? Money? Politics? What?”  Good questions, and I agreed with her, yet had no answers other than reminding her that there were a lot of pro-life people in the country who were actively involved in getting the pro-life message out.

          She was distressed and overwhelmed that abortions in America had hit such a horrifying number and that infanticide has now become legal in 19 states and that 29 states permit abortions of healthy, full-term babies.  I understand—the numbers are overwhelming and the movement towards the legalization of infanticide throughout the United States is horrifying—mind numbing.  But, there is always something that can be done to defend life—even if you can’t get out and join annual marches or groups of people holding prayer vigils on the sidewalks near abortion clinics. 

          In October, 1996, the Ascended Master El Morya gave one of his last dictations through the Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet, and he encouraged us to not get overwhelmed by the inordinate number of serious problems in the world, including abortion, and gave us a most practical answer—make fiats and call to angels for assistance:
“Blessed ones, serious issues are at hand. Children of the light who must come into embodiment are being aborted and aborted at term.
...these are the crises of the times. You must not be engulfed by them or overwhelmed by them. You must make the call in fervor with a deep determination. You must feel the fire of your being going back to the heart of your I AM Presence. And you must know with conviction that the fiat you make in each of these issues will work and what you have called for will come to pass.
...Beloved, it is the single fiat with the power of one's entire fiery being that you have culled through the ages that can neutralize and turn around these negative situations. Do not be overwhelmed. Your mighty I AM Presence is able. Your Holy Christ Self is able. Speak the word, speak it succinctly, and Mercurian messengers take that word and the momentum behind it to turn around situations that seem hopeless.”
What would an example of a fiat for the protection of life in the womb be?  “In the name of Almighty God, I command legions of angels of the Seven Archangels and Archangel Michael’s bands to guard and protect all life aborning in the womb and send comfort and illumination to those who are considering abortion. According to God’s Will, Amen!”
          What else can you do if you belong to a church that fails to supply you with practical, easily accessible educational tools regarding abortion and whose ministers rarely, if ever, step up to the plate and preach about the sanctity of life and educate members about church teachings on abortion?  You can communicate your concerns to the leadership and pray they don’t fall on deaf ears, get placed in the “emotional letters” bin or labeled politically incorrect and out of sync with the times.

You can also take action to educate yourself through many of the pro-life organizations whose websites offer downloadable materials including SoulChoice.org, which offers downloadable posters, flyers and eBooks in English and Spanish and brochures in English, French, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.

Words of Comfort for the Elderly, the Sick and the Dying + Practical Resources: Symptoms of Grief in the Dying and the Bereaved

  
    I have lost track of the number of people I know who are dealing with sudden illnesses and loss of family, friends and loved ones, or who are taking care of elderly parents these days. Regardless of their spiritual beliefs, a common thread that ties everyone together is what to say when their loved ones express their fears or concerns about what happens after they pass--and, even what to say to themselves during such stressful times.  

    Many, of course, have great faith and no doubt in their hearts that they will be going to heaven to be with Jesus and/or their family members who have gone before them; or to a place of peace and rest. 

    But, not everyone is so sure.  Even folks who have studied the teachings of the Ascended Masters for years might have moments of panic, fear or doubt:

 ~What if they don't ascend?
 ~What if they don't see the angels when they come?
 ~What about the spouse and loved ones they leave behind?
 ~What if they have to reincarnate?

     These are all legitimate questions and deserve comforting, truthful answers. Wondering exactly what a minister would recommend in such situations, I contacted a friend of mine who is a minister and counselor with years of experience. Here are some of the highlights of what she shared with me:

  You can tell a person that "He/she is in God's hands and that God has everything mapped out for them and their spouse. God has it all planned out. And, if they're familiar with the Hail Mary*, it is also a comforting prayer."

    Simple and comforting words---yet, something that might not come to your mind when you are in the middle of such a situation. It takes the guesswork out of it for the family member/caretaker and puts the person right back where they came from--the heart and hands of the Lord.

    With that inspired advise in mind, below are several affirmations that might be helpful to print on a regular 3x5 blank index card and offer--or have available--for family members, friends, or even yourself in times of need. Just reading through the cards several times a day may be most comforting, and strengthen the one-on-one connection of the heart and soul of those in need with the heart and Spirit of the Creator:

  • I AM in God's hands. 
  • ____ and I are in God's hands. 
  • I AM grateful! 
  • God has everything mapped out for me. 
  • God has everything mapped out for ____ and me. 
  • The Will of God is good. 

Many thanks to my minister friend for her advice!



*Traditional Hail Mary or:

    Hail, Mary, full of grace.  The Lord is with thee.  Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.  Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sons and daughters of God, now and at the hour of our victory over sin, disease and death. (How to Work with Angels, page 77).

Witness to the Ascension of Rev. E. Gene Vosseler, a True Friend of Freedom





     On this 4th of July, 2020, I would like to witness to the ascension of the late Rev. E. Gene Vosseler, who passed away on December 31, 2017 and who, I believe, as I witnessed, ascended on January 4, 2018, during a service held for him in Bozeman, MT.

     One can only witness to such events and share them when the need arises and for the benefit of those who may not have known Rev. Vosseler, who embraced the path of personal freedom, personal Christhood as taught by the Ascended Masters of the Great White Brotherhood through their Messengers Mark L. Prophet and Elizabeth Clare Prophet.

     Today, I will share a synopsis of my experience:

      On January 4, 2018, I was sitting in a soda shop style waiting room for parents at a ballet studio, about 1,700 miles away from Bozeman, MT and completely unaware that Gene Vosseler had passed away on New Year's Eve.  
   
      I was reading an eBook by Elizabeth Clare Prophet, when, seemingly out of nowhere, sparkling white light began to pour down upon me in such brightness and intensity that, at first, I could not figure out what was going on, or what the reason for the outpouring of light was.  I soon realized that someone must be making their ascension right then, and that, for whatever reason, I was blessed to witness it on the inner, and, what was practically in the physical. 

      The pouring down of light lasted for an incredibly long time, even as parents and students came and went during class drop-off time.  I lost track of time while waiting for my daughter's class to end, and when I got back home, I said some prayers in gratitude for the experience and for the soul who had been victorious in their ascension.

      Two months later, I was talking with a friend who was living in Montana, and I asked her if she knew how Gene Vosseler was doing.  She said, "Oh, Gene passed away on New Year's Eve! They had a service for him around 1:00 pm on January 4th in Bozeman,"  thus confirming the ascension of a great soul, known to many as a true defender of freedom, and someone whom I had known personally.  I was not shocked by my experience, once I found out who had passed on, and ever since then, I have included his name ("Ascended Master Gene Vosseler") as I knew him, in my prayers when asking for help for America.

     Today is one of those days when I included (Ascended Master) Rev. E. Gene Vosseler in my prayers on behalf of our great nation in these most difficult times.

      I highly recommend the only book that Gene authored solo, Wind of the Spirit, A Spiritual Freedom Odyssey.

"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!

Nicholas Roerich Museum NYC Tour: 7 min. Video


Since the art of Nicholas Roerich graces the cover of each of the books in the Climb the Highest Mountain Series, I thought you might enjoy a 7 minute video I just found that takes you on a tour of the Nicholas Roerich Museum in New York City.

A great way to enjoy a cup of tea and meditate on beauty and art on a Sunday morning--or any hour or day of the week!


There are two hardcover books available on Nicholas Roerich and his life and art, both by Jacqueline Decter:  Nicholas Roerich: The Life & Art of a Russian Master  (1989), and The Visionary Art of Nicholas Roerich: A Messenger of Beauty, with a foreward by Gary Lachman, (2023).

Alice Bailey and Roberto Assagioli





   



       Just how far can false teachings penetrate into the hearts and minds and souls of men and women—into a society unaware? Quite far. Consider the subtle (or not so subtle) influence of
Alice Bailey on psychotherapy in the 20th and 21st centuries through the work of Roberto Assagioli, an Italian psychiatrist, who began developing his theory of psychosynthesis around 1910 and who, from 1930 on, was a close friend and student of Bailey’s.



     Assagioli, known within Bailey’s Arcane School as FCD, received channeled messages and assignments from “The Tibetan,” or "DK," a reference to the Master Djwal Kul, who originally sponsored Bailey, but who, according to the Ascended Master Kuthumi, soon removed his sponsorship due to Bailey’s “intellectual pride and brittleness” and failure to surrender to the will of God. (1)



     In Al Mankoff’s article, Roberto Assagioli, Psychosynthesis and the Esoteric Roots of Transpersonal Psychology, we read:  



 ...Perhaps the disciple of greatest world-wide fame of all 42 disciples was Doctor Roberto Assagioli, Italian psychotherapist, said to be the father of Psychology of the Soul, Psychosynthesis. He is shown in the volume as “FCD” or “Freedom from Ties, Chelaship and Detachment.” 

    Mankoff goes on to describe several of the messages and instructions Assagioli received from “The Tibetan” (DK) via Bailey regarding several projects and ideas regarding the field of psychology, stating that, “Here, then, was the spark that lit the flame of Psychosynthesis and Transpersonal Psychology.”



      In his book The Adventure of Self-Discovery:Dimensions of Consciousness and New Perspectives in Psychotherapy and Inner Exploration, psychiatrist Stanislav Grof mentions Assagioli and Bailey and The Tibetan in his section on Dimensions in Consciousness:



      An entity who called himself the Tibetan was acknowledged by Alice Bailey as the real author of a large series of her spiritual writings. Roberto Assagioli credited the same entity as the source of his psychological system of psychosynthesis. (2)



      And, in The Future of New Religious Movements, edited by David G. Bromley and Phillip E. Hammond, Assagioli is also mentioned in connection with Alice Bailey:



... Lesser known is Roberto Assagioli, an Italian psychiatrist who absorbed Theosophy and especially its revisionist presentation produced by Alice Bailey. His thought and the professionals who practice his system, psychosynthesis, have become thoroughly intertwined with Bailey’s Arcane School and its offshoots. (3)



      Just as the Ascended Master Kuthumi warns of the “false teachings subtly woven into the work of Alice Bailey,” Mankoff tells how deeply enmeshed Assagioli was with Bailey and The Tibetan; Grof ties Bailey and The Tibetan to Assagioli and psychosynthesis, and Bromley and Hammond, like Kuthumi, mention the interweaving—the intertwining—of psychosynthesis and Alice Bailey’s Arcane School (and her “Tibetan”).

Babaji, Unascended Master of the Himalayas



     I recently came across an interesting passage on Babaji, the unascended master of the Himalayas in The Masters and Their Retreats, where he encourages his students to use the violet flame and to become more practical as they walk their spiritual path:


      Babaji speaks on behalf of the Brotherhood of the Himalayas, urging his students to take up the path of the violet flame. He also asks us to find the students trapped in the false paths and false teachings of India. Babaji tells his students to not remove themselves into nirvana but to "get over the desire to be the removed one, set apart and in meditation and in unreality when there is a victory to be won and a battle to enter."

El Morya on Community, Part 7: Gautama Buddha and the Importance of Truth



Indeed, you know that ignorance is not cured by leafing through books, but by the synthesis of containment. ~New Era Community, 193.


   We’re probably all familiar with the phrases “discussed to death” and “death by committee.” Is it possible, within a spiritual community, to over-study and over-discuss the teachings and our personal interpretations of them and over-think problematic situations and possible solutions? Definitely. Especially when non-action is the result.

   The exposure of ignorance in any of its various manifestations within a spiritual community requires immediate and right action in order to stop it from spreading. How can this be accomplished? One way available to all is to make the call to Gautama Buddha for the dispelling of all that is false, so that people can “receive the Truth when they hear it” (1) or when they read it or gaze upon it.

   According to Gautama Buddha, truth is paramount:

   And I say, bring the gentleness, the compassion, but bring the sudden thrust of Truth. For sometimes when Truth is least expected it makes its mark and drives deep into the psyche and remains there for many days and many miles until it can no longer be denied.

   Do you know, beloved ones, that when you plant Truth in the heart and the being of an individual, at that moment it becomes a focus for more of the momentum of Truth to gather? It becomes as a lodestone. And therefore everywhere he goes, that one who has heard the Truth spoken by you does bump into that Truth in another form, in another manifestation, in odd places and from unusual people.

   So it is, beloved, that a great truth is confirmed. It is confirmed by all elemental life and all of the stars and all of the great beings of Light. But most of all it is confirmed by the soul who is listening, who is listening to the Holy Christ Self.

OM MANI PADME HUM

According to Elizabeth Clare Prophet, in The Buddhic Essence, Ten Stages to Becoming a Buddha, page 131, the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum, which means "Hail to the jewel in the Lotus," is the "geometric formula, or mandala, that locks us in to the heart of Kuan Yin," the Goddess of Mercy and Compassion. For a brief explanation of how you can lock in to the heart of Kuan Yin with your favorite mantra, watch the following video:
