Agni Yoga Series: Helena Roerich on Abortion 1933-1934

 

The ability to discern the real state of things and to see the true colors of people is the basic requirement to enter the Path. ~Helena Roerich

The value of human life in the womb is not, as noted before, a new concept or one embraced only by those of Christian or Orthodox religions.  Before Elizabeth Clare Prophet's teachings on abortion in the late 1900's, were those of Helena Roerich, wife of Nicholas Roerich*, (now the Ascended Master Nicholas Roerich), and the amanuensis for the Master Morya.

Below, are a few teachings on the topic of abortion that can be found in the Agni Yoga Series. Considering that they are just a decade shy of being a century old, if you did not know the date of their publication, you might think you were reading something from a contemporary spiritual or esoteric organization.

Letters of Helena Roerich I

Letters I, 19 June 1933

And now let us turn to the subject of abortion. To deal with this problem now is quite timely. There appear currently the most disgusting articles about it and some of them are written with the approval of the clergy. On this subject I shall quote some paragraphs from the Teaching:

“The spirit is connected with the embryo at the moment of conception. It begins to enter in the beginning of the fourth month when the first nerve and brain channels are being formed. The formation of the vertebral column brings in the next degree of possession of the body. Wonderful is the moment of birth, when the consciousness of the spirit flashes up brightly and then blends with matter. There are even cases when words are pronounced at birth. The final possession of the body takes place at the seventh year of a child’s life.” It is also said, “Even as hunger directs toward food, so the spirit is directed toward incarnation, as only matter can give the new impulses.”

Therefore, it is not hard to imagine how much suffering the spirit that is ready to incarnate endures from the forced interruption of life already begun, or from the averting of an incarnation even planned by karma. What a difficult karma the ignorant and criminal parents prepare for themselves!

Letters 1, 17 April 1934

3. You mentioned a most painful problem of today’s life—the question of the legality of abortion. Of course, there are no two opinions on this subject: abortion is most definitely murder. Therefore, only in cases where the mother’s life is in danger should it take place. But it is wrong to think that a woman who is guilty of abortion always attracts low spirits. The karma of the whole family should be taken into consideration. Often we can notice that in a family where one of the children is worthless the other children are not bad. Karma ties groups of people for long, long thousands of years. And often, even a high spirit has not unimpeachable, irreproachable parents. And it is significant that the dark forces are especially against the reincarnation of highly developed spirits, and they try their best to prevent the reincarnations that are dangerous for them. And, once more, it is not the purgatory of the Subtle World that prevents spirits from reincarnating, but only the crime of the parents. There is not a more powerful purgatory than the earthly life, if all the potentialities of the individuality are intensified. It is said in the Teaching, “As the one who hungers longs for food, even so, the spirit that is ready to incarnate longs for the new incarnation.” Therefore, one can imagine what suffering the spirit undergoes by reason of artificial prevention. The spirit is connected with the embryo at the moment of conception, and gradually enters the body in the fourth month when the nerve and brain channels are being formed. Therefore, abortion is permissible only in exceptional cases.

7. Certainly, I approve of the fight against abortion, but how will you fight this evil? There are no laws which can either preserve or forbid anything. That is why I, personally, think that first of all you must battle by uplifting the level of consciousness of the growing generations, directing it toward the right comprehension of the human cosmic mission in general and that of motherhood in particular. Thoughts should be directed toward creative work and broad problems of the General Good on a cosmic scale. It is important to establish the world’s scale. Again, we return to the same fundamental question: upbringing and education. As the Great Mind expressed it, “The source of all suffering is ignorance,” which is so true; and the history of humanity, with all its dark pages of persecution of the best representatives of knowledge, proves it.

Violet Flame! Violet Flame! Violet Flame!

 

If I discovered the violet flame and was thinking as an entrepreneur, it would be the equivalent of finding a marketable fountain of youth.

The violet flame is a multifaceted flame. If it were a product, we would be saying: "Get seven for the price of one. Seven unique uses for one purchase price--mercy, forgiveness, freedom, opportunity, alchemy, diplomacy and transmutation." (Messages from Heaven, Page 51).

Now, I know I've already written a lot about the awesome powers of the violet flame in previous blogs, but I truly believe that we can never know too much about the violet flame or invoke its powers too often. Consider some of the key points about this magic elixir, as mentioned in Chapter Six of Messages from Heaven, by Patricia Kirmond, available as paperback or eBook:

~I think that if any aspect of the violet flame is neglected, it is the flame of opportunity.... Many lightbearers pray daily for new, better or different jobs, but they rarely think to invoke the flame of opportunity, which can help open the door to new options.

~At its most powerful, its greatest gift is that it can change atoms and electrons.

~Jesus used the violet flame in many of his miracles.

~If you have an illness, the violet flame can reverse the entire condition, unless the illness is a karmic necessity for your spiritual evolution.

~The violet flame can assist in the speed of recovery and the success of any [medical] procedure.

~Any condition that troubles a person, whether it is political, financial, medical or psychological, will always receive benefit when we send violet flame into its cause and core.

~The violet flame is the foundation for the new age. We will enter this age successfully to the degree that we comprehend and utilize this flame.

~The violet flame is truly the key to penetrating through the mire of what burdens you.

~...it is important to remember that you must give violet flame decrees from the heart, with visualization and oneness with the decree, in order for change to occur.

~You must not hesitate to use the violet flame in every room that you enter and in every conversation that you have. You can give a call such as, "In the name of the Presence of God and my own Christ Self, I ask for the violet flame to clear anything between this individual and me that could interfere with my talking with him this day." (Pages 52-54.)

Two Remedies for The Brokenhearted and Bereaved

 

        Sometimes, there really are no words to describe the grief people may suffer due to the loss of loved ones and friends, especially when the death is sudden and unexpected.  Even after a long-term illness, death, when it happens, can be an enormous shock to those left behind.

       In our family alone, we've lost two loved ones in the last 2 1/2 months--a much loved 95+ year old grandfather who was alert and basically healthy up to his last week of life and who tried to not be annoyed with God and the universe that it was "taking so long" for him to move on, get to heaven and see his beloved wife again; and a much loved son, brother, grandson, nephew and cousin, who died unexpectedly 4 days before his 42nd birthday, from a health condition he kept mainly to himself. They are both in a better place, and we are all here with the empty places and spaces in our hearts and homes, seeing them "everywhere" we go.  It is, as all who have lost loved ones and friends know, very surreal, for a very long time.

     (If you or anyone you know are in need of resources for grief, please check out the post Words for the Elderly, the Sick and the Dying--Practical Resources.)

    For anyone who believes in an afterlife, I would like to share some advice I once received from a very wise and experienced psychologist, Dr. Marilyn C. Barrick, with whom I spoke in the early years after my husband died at the age of 36, leaving me with two children under the age of five.  

   During one counseling session, Dr. Barrick told me two things that made a huge difference in my life and in my grief process.  First, she said that if I had any "unfinished business" with my late husband, I could say a prayer to Archangel Michael to take me to the retreats in heaven to meet him there and wrap things up, for as long as it took.  There was no limit to the number of times I could make such a request.  So, I did.  And, after about a year, things shifted, and I rarely had the need for such a prayer, but have, over the last 34 years, occasionally put it to good use.  The prayer was something like this, and can be said for anyone who has passed with whom you may need resolution.  You can say, "Holy Christ Self," or "Higher Self," or "Higher Power," or whatever works with your beliefs:

"In the name of my Holy Christ Self, I ask Archangel Michael to take me in my soul and soul consciousness to the retreats in heaven to meet with __________.  I ask Archangel Michael to guard and protect me and my soul to and from the retreats."

   The second thing she told me was, I believe, the most helpful practical spiritual tool I've heard of so far in my life:  She told me that I could, at any time, write the Higher Self of my husband and pour out my heart and tell him anything I wanted or needed to; ask Archangel Michael to take the letter to my husband's Higher Self, and that the angels and his Higher Self would make sure he got it (at a soul level).  This was the formula she shared with me, and I have used it many, many times over the last 3 decades, not just with my late husband, but with family members and friends who have also passed on:

    Sit comfortably at a desk or table and, on a clean sheet of white paper, begin your letter to your loved one by writing almost as you would any other letter:

     "Dear Higher Self of ______________,  according to God's Will: (Then pour your heart out)

_________________________________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________________________.

          

     Love,

     ___________________"

     Then, you fold the letter up, ask Jesus, God, the angels, to fill up the void left in you (after you've poured your feelings into the physical letter) with his Light, with the Light of God, so that no more darkness or suffering enters you.  

    Next, you say a short prayer to the angels asking them to take the letter to your loved one:

     "In the name of my own Holy Christ Self, I ask the Angels to take this letter from my heart to the heart of the Holy Christ Self of ___________."

    Then, you safely burn the letter in a pan, fireplace or on a sheet of aluminum foil--wherever you can safely consign the letter to the physical flame, so that it is burned and the angels carry it to the higher realms, the etheric/fire realm, where the Higher Self of your loved one is.

                                                               ~*~

    That's it.  I cannot describe how healing and liberating this ritual was and is for me and for others who are aware of this most practical spiritual tool.

                                                                              ~*~

~Thomas Moore, Irish poet, lyrics:

(Baylor A Capella Choir)

Come, ye disconsolate, where’er ye languish

Come, ye disconsolate, where’er ye languish;
Come to the mercy-seat, fervently kneel;
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish,
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.

Joy of the comfortless, light of the straying,
Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure;
Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying—
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure.

Here see the Bread of Life; see waters flowing
Forth from the throne of God, pure from above;
Come to the feast of love; come, ever knowing
Earth has no sorrow but heaven can remove.

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….'”

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.

Teaching on the Portrait of El Morya

 

In doing an end of the year purge of old emails, I came upon a lovely message from a friend from years ago, wherein they shared a teaching which has most likely been long forgotten by many--or never heard in the first place, depending upon one's age.

As El Morya was embodied as Saint Thomas Becket, who was known for his love of "the honor of God," it is with gratitude for the honor of God and the honor of El Morya that I share these words that were shared with me and many others.  The portrait of El Morya referred to is the portrait above and the one to which the Messenger refers in the Darshan DVDs:

El Morya Portrait 

"The Messenger unveiled a new portrait of El Morya, made from the late-nineteenth-century likeness released to Madame H. P. Blavatsky. 

The Messenger said: 'It has been our great desire in working on this painting to bring El Morya into the physical octave and this has been El Morya’s goal. And so, we have taken great care to allow this matrix to be the most physical representation of El Morya that we know of in the form of a picture or photograph of the Master on earth today. Most of the renditions of El Morya and other Masters are somewhat ethereal and somewhat apart from the way he would look if embodied. And since this is a picture of him in the years before his ascension, you can see the highest manifestation of the Master in the flesh and therefore call to him to come to you ‘in the flesh’ through this portrait.'” 

To the best of my recollection, the portrait was unveiled in 1992, if not earlier.

El Morya on Where to Look

 

                                                                             

     "Dark things are in the earth, but I choose to look at the greater, the Light, the Sun and the God Star."

On The Last Darshan: The Guru-Chela Relationship

   When you look at El Morya’s portrait, what do you see? Do you see the love in his eyes or do you see the sternness? Do you see that twinkle?  

~ Elizabeth Clare Prophet

         I just finished a 16 week “home study” course that I highly recommend to anyone interested in progressing on the path of personal Christhood as taught by the Ascended Masters of the Great White Brotherhood, through their Messengers Mark L. Prophet and Elizabeth Clare Prophet:  The Darshan with the Messenger series.  This 1996-1997 DVD series offers the unique opportunity to experience what it was like to sit at the feet of an embodied Guru, the Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet, now the ascended Guru Ma.

          The last darshan, The Guru-Chela Relationship, occurred on February 20, 1997, and little did any of us who were in attendance realize that, in a few short months, the Code of Conduct set by the Great White Brotherhood that the Messenger mentions numerous times during the darshans would be dropped, (not by the Messenger), and that the Ascended Master El Morya would withdraw his sponsorship of the organization on April 30, 1997.

During the February 20^th darshan, the Messenger addressed how important it is for us to resolve our psychology, especially with our parents, so that we do not make the karma of projecting upon the Messenger, the embodied Guru, or upon an Ascended Master, such as El Morya, our hatred or fear or distrust or whatever unresolved problems with any parents we have ever had. 

Even though El Morya removed his sponsorship of the organization and it is no longer “his organization” as the Messenger describes in the darshan, the teachings regarding the need to resolve your psychology while pursuing chelaship still apply, and, it is important to note that El Morya’s worldwide Ashram still exists.  As the Messenger said:

“If we fear the father image, we may anticipate that El Morya will treat us just as the bad father treated us. It could be the indulgent father. It could be all kinds of things. When you look at El Morya’s portrait, what do you see? Do you see the love in his eyes or do you see the sternness? Do you see that twinkle? What you are able to see in El Morya depends on your psychology.”

Interestingly, the portrait of El Morya (above) that is visible during the darshans and to which the Messenger often refers, was done under the Messenger's direction and approved by the Master himself, and it is the last of its kind.  

     During the January 15, 1997 "Initiation and the One Initiator," darshan, (1:45:12), the Messenger makes a definitive statement about the portrait:

   

     "When you see El Morya the last thing before you go to bed and he is looking at you, you know you have to write him a letter, you know you have to do all these things before you can go to sleep because this particular rendition of him (as seen above and during the darshans), he's, you know, he's alive and there and standing right there."

         

     

How Does a Nation Survive Its Presidents?

 

     Whether you will be dancing in the streets and crying with relief or holding your head and shedding tears of despair over the potential outcome of the election in the United States, it may be worth your time to take a few deep breaths, get a cup of coffee or tea, and take some time out of your day to become familiar with the teachings of the Ascended Masters on the importance of the United States of America and the office of the president, regardless of who the office holder is, and what you can do to facilitate the highest manifestation of God's Will for America, her people, leaders and destiny.

     Two of the most illumining dictations from the Ascended Masters through the Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet are those from El Morya and Saint Germain in 1984 (Vol. 27 No. 31A) and from the Goddess of Liberty in 1986 (Vol. 29 No. 64).  They offer such in-depth explanations that cannot be found anywhere else, that their study is of the utmost value to both "winners" and "losers" of any election, and one of the most tangible offerings of hope for the future not only of America, but for members of the I AM Race, wherever they may be.

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.

Darshan with an Embodied Guru: A True Treasure

          In previous posts, there has been a lot of mention of the Darshan DVD series from 1996-1997 with the late Elizabeth Clare Prophet, Messenger of the Great White Brotherhoodand embodied Guru. They are now (October 2024) available online: Darshan with the Messenger.

          As noted earlier, these sessions offer a unique experience for chelas and aspiring chelas of the ascended masters, because they are darshans—encounters—with an embodied Guru who is overshadowed by her Guru, the Ascended Master El Morya.  The sessions are unparalleled—there is nothing else like them on the market and they are relatively affordable for individuals and groups. 

          Here is a list of the Darshans for anyone who might be interested in checking them out--they are truly "Treasures of the World."

"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!
