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!

On Maitreya, Mesmerism and Astrology






On Maitreya, Mesmerism and Astrology
I was recently reminded of how important it is for students of the ascended masters to be aware of their astrology and their psychology, after reading a 1985 Pearl of Wisdom by Lord Maitreya entitled Teachings from the Mystery School, Astrology for Twin Flames and an excerpt from Annice Booth’s book, Secrets of Prosperity.
Such information is timely for many reasons, among them, the incredible acceleration of the return of karma—both “good” and “bad”—that many people seem to be experiencing around the world.   It is impossible to not be concerned about one’s self and family and friends and one’s nation and the planet these days.  I live about 15 minutes away from the Oregon District where the mass shooting took place in Dayton a few weeks ago, and, I can tell you that the impact of such a horrific event has not been insignificant.  Everyone I know either knows someone who was in the area during the shooting, who works at the bar or lives in the area, or, worse, people who had to walk over the bodies to get out of the bar after it was over.  There has been an incredible pall over the city ever since, almost physical in nature. People are wondering what is going on with all the violence these days; people are trying to process it all as they go about their daily lives.
I have friends who are dealing with extremely difficult health conditions—their own or a family member’s—and quite a few who are trying to figure out how to disentangle themselves from toxic relationships with other people and from groups and organizations to which they have been tied for a long time.  Several friends have discussed how they are “done” with the Catholic church due to their disgust with the continued exposure of abuse by members of church hierarchy for decades.  Others are in the process of disentangling from organizations that they believe have been involved in unethical business practices for years.

Family Mesmerism
But, betrayal by hierarchies is just one example of the challenges people are facing.  Consider family mesmerism, as explained in Paths of Light and Darkness, (eBook page 134-135), (you can replace “family” with “organization” or “group”) and you get an idea of just how big the problem of disentangling oneself from unhealthy, toxic or unlawful relationships can be:
 “Family mesmerism is one manifestation of animal magnetism; it involves the exertion of unwholesome control of one individual over another in the name of family ties.  This name is often given to hypnotic ties whereby we allow ourselves to be open to energy of negativity coming from members of our families.  We are open to them because we love them and because we have mutual responsibilities. 
The key to dealing with this energy is to maintain a very strong heart tie through the Christ Self to one’s family members.  You are in control of this tie and through it you can give a great deal of love to them.  However, if you allow yourself to be tied at untransmuted levels of your being—the solar plexus, the emotional level, the astral body—and if you have a great deal of sympathy for family members, you do open your chakras to them and open your beings to them, and they have access to you and to your Light and energy at will.
Sentimentality and nostalgia are forms of sympathetic animal magnetism.  Jesus’ statement, ‘Whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother,’ should be remembered when choosing companions or breaking spiritually unprofitable ties.”
So, how would a student of the ascended masters know how or where to begin to disentangle from such difficult situations and head any others off at the pass?  Two possibilities come to mind:  work on the resolution of one’s psychology (which can be part of the reason for such karmic entanglements) and become aware of your astrology for the next 18 months (as recommended by Elizabeth Clare Prophet in one of the Darshans with the Messenger). 

Kuthumi’s Dispensation to Help Us with Our Psychology
Mrs. Booth addresses both astrology and psychology in her book, Secrets of Prosperity, along with Kuthumi’s dispensation:
     “Maitreya says we can cut through the whole coil [of negative habits].  We don’t have to unwind it level by level.  But we need to realize that we are dealing with momentum.  Where you know you have negative momentums in your life and negative momentums or pessimism in your astrology, that is the point to direct light.
    Say with the master Kuthumi, ‘I AM light, glowing light, radiating light, intensified light.  God consumes my darkness, transmuting it into light.’  When you say, ‘I AM light,’ visualize that light directed into your subconscious and unconscious mind, where these momentums lay that may not have been challenged for thousands of years.  Direct piercing light rays into this negative coil that has been wrapped around your being.” (eBook, page 105)
Mrs. Booth continues on, giving the complete prayer by Kuthumi, which can be given as a novena, 9 times for 9 days for help in specific situations.

Maitreya on Astrology
   In Lord Maitreya’s 1985 dictation, Teachings from the Mystery School, Astrology for Twin Flames, he tells his “students worldwide” about the importance of being aware of one’s astrology and transits and, specifically, how to place the ascended masters’ causal bodies over potentially problematic configurations:
“Remember, beloved ones, that until thy karma is ultimately and fully balanced, false astrology and the emanations of the lower spheres of the planets will have their effect upon you unless you insulate yourself by invoking your tube of light and calling to Archangel Michael to cut you free—unless you give your violet flame decrees and challenge the astral forces that enter your worlds through those negative astrological predictions.
 And therefore, you should always replace them by the call to the Masters to place their presence and their causal body on your chart and to seal off and bar from your life the astrological signs of those projected negative influences that are actually the harbingers of your returning negative karma.
Karma comes to your doorstep daily by the world’s astrology, the false astrology—false in the sense, therefore, that the Cosmic Christ teaches that you need not reap this karma but you may instead transmute it by the violet flame before it arrives at thy doorstep to the detriment of thy true life plan, deterring the true divine astrology of thy causal body from registering its great positive good in thy life, thereby causing all manner of problems.
If you invoke the tube of light and give your violet flame decrees without composing for yourself the dynamic decree whereby you challenge these momentums, you may find yourself free of the karma but burdened by the momentum of the astrology itself, even as human habit patterns endure beyond the karma which was causative in their being made in the first place.
 Thus, two actions must be taken: first you must challenge in the name of your Mighty I AM Presence the levels of your personal karma as these affect your life and then you must challenge—naming the positions and the degrees—the self-limiting matrix in the astrology of your natal and progressed chart and solar return which can be calculated.
Realize that the challenging of those momentums in the name of your Mighty I AM Presence is the key to the overcoming of trial and temptation. However, these charts that are calculated according to the worldly astrology must be done only by those astrologers who have the mind of Christ and who are not caught up in the worldly sense of believing in the influence and ultimate power of astrology over the lifestream.”

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."
