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.

Roses Are An Antidote To 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!"

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!

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."

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:

Thank you, Mrs. Booth!

                                         

Annice Booth, author of many of the books I’ve recommended, left this world for the higher octaves of light on April 6, 2011. She would have been 91 years old this May.

While I’m not quite sure how things are done up there, my guess is that all in heaven are celebrating her arrival!

Mrs. Booth accomplished quite a bit in her lifetime and had many interesting and unique spiritual experiences as she followed the Path of Personal Christhood outlined by the Great White Brotherhood through their messengers Mark and Elizabeth Prophet.

Author of several books, including Memories of Mark: My Life with Mark Prophet; The Path to Your Ascension: Rediscovering Life’s Ultimate Purpose and Secrets of Prosperity, Abundance in the 21st Century, Mrs. Booth also edited the Climb the Highest Mountain series and compiled and edited The Masters and Their Retreats.

Of all the books by Mrs. Booth that I've read, my favorite is The Path to Your Ascension. The deep faith, hope, charity and gratitude that filled her soul, directed her life and shone through her bright blue eyes are expressed in the very first lines of the Preface:

As I sit here in my home in Montana and gaze upon the mountains covered with snow, my meditations are upon the soul’s ascent to God.

I am reminded of the song of the Psalmist, “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord which made heaven and earth.” And all I can do is cry from a heart full of love and gratitude, “O God, you are so magnificent!”

I shall always remember the day I met Mark and Elizabeth Prophet--truly a milestone in my life. I came from a Christian Fundamentalist background and later studied the teachings of Unity. But not until I discovered the teachings of the ascended masters given through their messengers did I realize that after hundreds, perhaps thousands, of lifetimes on this earth, at long last I was offered the chance to return Home to God in the ascension at the close of this embodiment or at least in the next.

While all of Mrs. Booth's books are enjoyable and easy to read--and The Masters and their Retreats makes for great bedtime reading--it is The Path to Your Ascension that I highly recommend to anyone who is interested in discovering the higher purpose of their life and learning how to attain it in a most practical way.

Thank you, Mrs. Booth!
