This booklet is lovingly dedicated to the Beloved Holy Christ Self abiding within the Heart Center of every man, woman and child -- to each individual who will one day make his Ascension from this schoolroom (the Planet Earth), after experimenting with Life (Energy) and Its right and wrong use.
Every individual of his or her own free will volunteered to come here and do God's Will, help establish God's Kingdom on Earth and keep this Earth in Its rightful place in the Divine Plan with all of the other Planets of this System.
To return "Home" --to the Kingdom of Heaven- each prodigal must Ascend (raise his consciousness to
that of the Christ) since each, of his or her own free will, has descended.
FORWARD
May the Holy Christ Consciousness within each heart attest to the Truth herein revealed and thereby hasten each sojourner's return "Home"!
One of the services of the Seventh Ray (The Violet Ray) is to help to sublimate and transmute the impure substance drawn into the forcefields around the electrons in the emotional, mental, etheric and physical bodies. Thus the individual redeems consciously all the energy he has drawn through the ages and used for experimenta tion. As in a carpenter's workshop, there are many shavings, much sawdust and other residue which result from his endeavors to produce a form of beauty, so there is in the aura (and the world at large) much residue which results from experimentation with the "tools of creation" (feelings, thoughts, spoken words and actions). The good carpenter not only produces a beautiful piece of furniture but cleans up his workshop as well. The good, honest chela, in the process of ascending into his
CONTENTS
God estate, has the use of the Violet Fire to clean up the
residue of his experimentations with life while conscious
ly developing his own Divine Nature. This is balance -
spiritual integrity -- and mercy to the rest of the Universe.
Too long have the Nature Kingdom and the Ascended
Host continued to transmute this "residue" for man!
Now, he has the way and means of making this personal
transmutation of the energies for which he is account
able. At the same time, he thus qualifies to become an
Ascended Being himself!

The Ascension
YOU
When first you were breathed forth from the heart of the God Parents you came to an awareness and realization of Individual Identity. You felt and thought "I AM"! You found yourselves as self-conscious beings and in·every fiber and cell of your Electronic Presence you realized "I AM BEING"! You lived in that innocence sharing the consciousness of your God Parents. You knew primal life was yours to use as you chose. You were Holy Innocents and exquisite, iridescent primal life became your possession flowing into the Immortal Flame in your heart.
In this innocence you abided and created out of primal life that which you saw around you. You lived in a Realm close to the Heart of the God Parents where there was no form that was not beautiful, every Angel
shining in magnificence, every Master in the dignity of a Christ. You duplicated the beauty around you and began to create tiny Cherubic forms and temples, your feelings of enjoyment filling those tiny forms, and they began to flow out from you into your aura.
You passed through the Seven Inner Spheres with One of the Great Manus, observing the magnificent Brothers and Sisters in those Realms Who were building Stars and Galaxies in the Universe. You continued to create in your small way, finding your thoughts and feelings were obedient to your will. This was the "Garden of Eden" -- there was no need for discrimination since there was no destructive pattern and no form of temptation, nothing could enter your consciousness that was not beautiful.
OTHERS
Many Beings of light remained in those beautiful inner spheres, never choosing to embody on the Earth. It was the brave spirits who completed their journey through the Seven Inner Spheres who applied for oppor tunity to embody on the Earth and create in this lower atmosphere. The primal Light-substance that is obedient to thought and feeling in the higher spheres vibrates slower on the Earth and it takes more energy to bring forth a manifestation. They asked to embody here and complete a Cycle of externalization by molding Earth's substance into the beautiful Patterns and Forms of the Divine Ideas received from the God-Presence.
EARTH
GOLDEN AGES
The Earth has been exquisitely created by the Seven Elohim and there was no decay or imperfection of any kind. The flowers were like flames and there was no decay; at the end of its season of expression, each manifestation just disappeared. It took nine hundred years to prepare the beautiful vegetation on the Earth, and there was little difference between the Earth and the Heaven World. Those Who embodied on Earth used the "I AM" Consciousness; they took primal life and molded it into the beautiful Ideas received from God, filled them with the feeling of love, and used the flesh body to externalize them -- and so they builded on Earth even as they had in Heaven!
The first Golden Age manifested the same temples the same exquisite perfection they had known at inner levels. There was not one in the Earth Cycle of 14,000 years who did not complete the course of evolution in perfection and harmony and return Home. The Second Cycle was the same; and the Third. Then came the HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS -- in which you live today, and which must be redeemed and transmuted back into the "I AM" Consciousness and Perfection again.
THE LAGGARDS
The Earth offered to accept certain Iifestreams to embody here who had not attained the development
required to progress with their own planets and systems. Those systems had moved forward in a Cosmic push something like what the Earth is going through today. The whole Creative System has been delayed because of these laggards! The Earth and Her evolutions being of a more condensed and slower vibratory action than the other systems, offered to take on these "laggards" hoping by the contagion and pressure of Purity in the Earth people, that they might redeem these laggards quickly. Up to this time the people had seen nothing less than Perfection.
You might ask how these laggards got into the evolutions of the Earth? Just as anyone else, they came through the pure bodies of women belonging to this perfect, harmonious evolution. These women were chosen because of their tremendous spiritual strength, so that these laggards might have all the assistance possible to mitigate the evil in their consicousness by the pressure of light in the mother. These laggards were born, the parents performing one of the greatest sacrifices by taking them into their physical bodies, consciousness and homes -- the radiation of those individuals was such that it has drawn the Earth into its present condition today! Everything that is wrong on the Earth has come forth since the laggards took embodiment here!
HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS
Here is where you left the "I AM" CONSCIOUS NESS! After birth those individuals grew to a certain age and the Holy Christ Self had to release a portion of their destructive karma, to give opportunity to redeem it. Instead of redeeming it, they yielded to its malign influences and began to create secretly in thought and feeling, forms of an impure and distorted nature. There
began to spread into the atmosphere a fog or smog, which was picked up by the sensitive inhabitants of the Earth who previously had externalized only Beauty and Perfection. This temptation could have been repelled and the mind not allowed to accept these imperfect thought patterns and feelings, but some among the race, also in secret, opened their consciousness to these imperfect patterns, until finally there was externalized imperfections of form.
THE SOUL
Curiosity and rebellion against holding true to the Divine Pattern, and the use of thought and feeling to create these imperfections builded what is called the SOUL! The SOUL is a consciousness apart from the Purity of God. The first thought a man had that was

,
imperfect and impure, energized by a secret feeling, was a cause, and that sent out into the atmosphere created an effect. Like a boomerang, the effect came back into the consciousness and made a record. That record was the beginning of an impression that energy sent out in a certain manner returned to AFFECT the lifestream who had sent it forth -- and thus there began to be created a shadow between the "I AM" Presence and the. outer consciousness. When the individual would endeavor to contact the God Presence and receive the Divine Ideas, he would find these "tramp" thoughts and feelings flowing between him and the God Presence, until finally the God Presence was shut away, and the thoughts and feelings acted independently of a ''blueprint" or Divine Plan. Anything the individual saw registered in the mind, was energized by the feelings, and MANIFESTED! Acting independently of the God Presence, the thoughts and feelings of mankind created most of the distressing conditions you function in today!
Through the ages, this creation of thought-forms, energized by feelings as well as the action that followed the flesh, built an Etheric Consciousness which is called the SOUL! The soul is this accumulated consciousness resulting from your experimentation with your life.
The nature of your soul is determined by the way you have used your life through the centuries, and what life has returned to you as karma age after age! Your soul endures not only in embodiment but between embodiments, and your soul will continue to live, UNTIL IT IS TRANSMUTED by the Flame in your heart, and there is no longer this shadow self that thinks and feels apart from the Christ. Your soul has lived through every embodiment you have had. Today you have a name; you were born into a family; you live three score and ten years and then you "pass away" as a personality -- but -- the SOUL of you in the etheric garment, influences your personality each time you embody. If you were to look at an unbroken stream of one hundred of your Earth lives, you would find the SOUL was more or less the same through each personality.
RE-INSTA TE YOURSELF
Now you must undo the effect of aeons of time in a few short years! You must learn how to enter into the authority of your own "I AM" Consciousness, drawing primal life, getting directions from your God Presence, and manifesting Perfection. You must learn to silence the cravings of your lower bodies; the etheric rumblings, the human tendencies. You must begin to build anew as your God Self would have you, until there are not TWO
-- the SOUL and GOD -- BUT GOD ALONE! Thus you
are reinstated in the "I AM" Consciousness, master of thought, feeling and action; and absolutely nonrecordant
to the impressions of the human selves of others and the vicious conditions of the etheric bodies which manifest disease and distress of affairs.
CONTAGION
Contagion caused the fall of the Earth! Contagion of doubts, fears, impurity, lust, depression is a force you must diligently prevent if you intend to be Master of the Power of your Godhead. You are in a constant sea of moving energy besides your own accumulations of your soul. Every paper you read, every piece of music you hear, every picture you look upon that registers in the mind and which the feelings energize, adds to the accumulations of your limitations, your financial lack, your needs. Do you know that even racial characteristics are just a matter of contagion and acceptance? Life streams have completely removed all racial imperfections in an unascended body IN ONE EMBODIMENT. It can be done -- it has been done -- it MUST be done by those of you upon whom we depend to be the teachers of the
race!
DIVINE PLAN OF LIFE
The natural activity of your lifestream is an outpouring or precipitation of Light, Love, Beauty, Opulence and Perfection which, without interference, would flow ceaselessly as a fountain of all Good into the world of the individual.
WHY THE STRUGGLE?
Why, then is there a struggle if the Light that beats your heart is a natural precipitation of all that you could require for glorious living? Jesus, in speaking to His disciples said: "Your Father knoweth you have need of all these things!" Wherein is the interference with this natural flow of the Divine Plan without struggle? It is in the creation of an entity apart from God -- the separation of the consciousness from union with all that is -- the development of the personality as opposed to Individual ity.
PERSONALITY
This personality, evolved by human thinking and accretion of thoughts and feelings of limitation, is a LIE! It has no sustaining power but that of the individual's faith in it and therefore must sustain itself by unnatural
means.
All work and labor -- all struggle -- all limitation result from the personality feeling that it must 'do something' to sustain itself. It is, therefore, not self sustained, for it must be sustained by constant effort which proves that it has no natural place in the Universe.
The consciousness of man has become so en meshed in the personality that he wears in each embodi ment, that he defends it, protects it, guards it, feeds it, loves it, and clothes it. Through stealing the Energy of the Godhead, and through unnatural means, he forces the sustaining of this impostor century after century.
This is the outer man who is constantly interrupt-
ing the natural flow of all Good by his continuous feeling that he must do something. Therefore, he is constantly precipitating, but his precipitation merely distorts the pure flow of Life which would automatically fulfill the Divine Plan. This distortion takes place by his qualifying the pure Light of God with thoughts and feelings of limitation, ill health, etc. -- every act, thought and feeling adding to the constant mass chaos of the world.
DIVINE WISDOM
If the students could only accept the instruction presented by the Spiritual Hierarchy and make that personality relinquish all power, acknowledge itself as nothing and remain silent, knowing that the
I AM"
Presence is the Doer, the doing and the deed, within forty-eight hours, the 11I AM" Presence of each lifestream would precipitate the Light through the flesh form and transform the individual's world, his flesh body, and his experiences.
Who among you is strong enough to tear your allegiance away from the little self and anchor it upon that "I AM" Presence that breathes, without effort, the beauty of the rose, the glory of the lily, the Light of Helios, and the Intelligence of the Gods?
The most difficult task is renunciation of the personal self as the doer, and the calm relaxation of facing that Presence of Light and allowing It to flow through you and wash you clean!
In the early ages before the contamination of Earth's people by the shadows of the laggards brought here from other Stars, the Ascension was accomplished consciously and beautifully by every individual after he
had completed his Cycle of embodiments on the Earth. The individual spent some time on Earth during each of the seven, two-thousand year periods which make up the Cosmic Cycle of fourteen thousand years.
YOUR DESTINY
The conscious Ascension into the Ascended Masters' Realm has all but been forgotten by the masses of the people on Earth. The Master Jesus came to bring to the outer consciousness of mankind the understanding
that the ASCENSION was the ULTIMATE DESTINY
for each one and was the living Example for them to follow. Most people now consider Jesus' example an unusual expression of Mastery ONLY FOR HIM and fail to remember His Words: "The things I have done shall ye do also and greater things than these shall ye do!" The Divine Plan for man is that ht" become a Master of Energy and Substance at any point in the Universe. In order to do this, he must realize that all energy used in thought, feeling,spokenword and action, must be maintained in the pure state in which it issued forth from the Heart of God. Man is an embryonic God, and the original plan was that man would attain his Perfection and become Master in the cycle of 14,000 years. Since the fall of man, this period has become very much extended, and although many have attained this Perfection in the Ascension, many thousands still remain, and until these indicate a willingness to set aside their own impurities and step upon the Path, the Earth's evolution is being seriously delayed. In this regard, it should be recognized that nothing in the Cosmos is static. Planets, and even Suns themselves, must evolve on a
Plan toward a mighty Goal of Perfection. Today the Earth is moving swiftly toward such a period of Cosmic Initiation and those who will not agree to purify them selves sufficiently in this great movement, will find themselves in the same position as the laggard souls did so many centuries ago. Of course, it is a quite feasible assumption that those same souls are the ones who refuse to purify themselves today, but the unfortunate part of the matter is that they are influencing so many others who could reach to great heights if allowed to assert their own God-given free will concepts.
When man reaches the point in his evolution where the material things of Earth tend to lose their glamour, and he begins to reach out in the direction of Spiritual Enlightenment, at that moment he steps upon the Pathway to his Ascension.
THE ASCENSION
When this Ascension is attained, he has then reached the Goal of his Earthly evolution. He then becomes ONE with his own "I AM" Presence; and therefore ONE with the Godhead Itself. He is Master of all energy and substance, and is free to travel the full extent of his Cosmos. However, this is not the end of his evolution. From this point, he commences a new period of evolution as a God Being in which he may become even a Sun God himself whereby he would command the energies of a planetary system and its inhabitants. The state of consciousness beyond this point in the evolutionary scheme has been termed . . • ''Nirvana" which is often referred to as "a state of highest bliss". However, it must be clearly understood that this state is an expansion of Individuality, and once attained, may
be renounced for the purpose of giving greater service to life.
You, and each one of mankind came forth from the Heart of God, and truly "YE ARE GODS" -- in embryo! You have chosen to take embodiment on the Earth for the purpose of learning Mastery over all energy and substance, which means your own thoughts, feelings, words and actions. When this is accomplished and you have purified and harmonized all the Life loaned to you by God, and charged yourself with enough Divine Love, you will become a Candidate for the Ascension, and at the close of your embodiment can become an Ascended Master, even as Jesus, forever free from imperfection. This is called going HOME to the HEART OF GOD from whence you came. AN ASCENDED MASTER!
