Happy are those who know:
Behind all words, the Unsayable stands;
And from that source alone, the Infinite
Crosses over to gladness, and us –

Free of our bridges
Built with the stone of distinctions;
So that always, within each delight,
We gaze at what is purely single and joined.

~ Rainer Maria Rilke

Beloved St. Germain,

I ask you to surround me now in your sacred transmuting Violet Flame of Divine Love,

and to actualize the qualities of the Seventh Ray of Ceremonial Magic,

as I experience my initiation of the “Birth of Christ”.

 

Surrounded in your celestial Violet Flame of Protection and Transmutation,

And the Golden Flame of One Unity Consciousness,

I now heal my deepest wounds, and human mis-creations,

letting go of all earthly ego allurements, cosmic karmic patterns,

false beliefs and judgments,

through transmuting, healing and loving all aspects of my Self.

 

I now merge with my Beloved I Am Presence,

and experience my Self as a Christ Conscious Being of Light,

a sacred transfiguring Flame of Divine Love,

in service to Mother Earth and all Her Life.

Spurious things have no value, whether they be bric-a-brac or men.

It is all-important that we be real; that we harbour no wish to appear other than what
we are; that we simulate no virtue, assume no excellency, adopt no disguise. The
hypocrite thinks he can hoodwink the world and the eternal law of the world. There is
but one person that he hoodwinks, and that is himself, and for that the law of the
world inflicts its righteous penalty. There is an old theory that the excessively wicked are
annihilated. I think to be a pretender is to come as near to annihilation as a man can get, for
there is a sense in which a man is gone, and in his place there is but a mirage of shams.

The law which punishes us is the law which preserves us.

 

When in their ignorance men would destroy themselves, its everlasting arms are thrown about them in loving, albeit sometimes painful, protection. Every pain we suffer brings us nearer to the knowledge of the Divine Wisdom. Every blessedness we enjoy speaks to us of the perfection of the Great Law, and of the fullness of bliss that shall be man’s when he has come to his heritage of divine knowledge. We progress by learning, and we learn, up to a certain point, by suffering. When the heart is mellowed by love, the law of love is perceived in all its wonderful kindness; when wisdom is acquired, peace is assured. We cannot alter the law of things, which is of sublime perfection, but we can alter ourselves so as to comprehend more and more of that perfection, and make its grandeur ours.

The silent, calm people will manifest a more enduring form of success than those who are noisy and restless.

When a man exchanges coppers for silver, and silver for gold, he does not thereby give up the use of money; he exchanges a heavy mass for one that is lighter and smaller but more valuable. So when a man exchanges hurry for deliberation, and deliberation for calmness, he does not give up effort, he merely exchanges a diffusive and more or less ineffective energy for a more highly concentrated, effective, and valuable form.  Yet even the crudest forms of effort are necessary at first, for without them to begin with the higher forms could not be acquired. The child must crawl before it can walk; it must babble before it can talk; it must talk before it can compose. Man begins in weakness and ends in strength, but from beginning to end he advances by the efforts he makes, by the exertion he puts forth.

In order to achieve the higher forms of success, a man must give up anxiety, hurry, and fussiness.

Pressing forward persistently along a given way is sure to lead to a destination that is definitely associated with that way. Frequent going aside, or turning back, will render effort fruitless; no destination will be reached; success will remain afar off.  Effort, and the more effort, and then effort again, is the keynote of success. As the simple old saying has it: “If at first you don’t succeed, Try again.”  All the precepts of successful business men are precepts of doing; all the precepts of the wise teachers are precepts of doing. To cease to do is to cease to be of any use in the economy of life. Doing means effort, exertion.
