     In this Blogger entry, I would like to talk about healing as the coalescing of divine determination. I believe this to be a useful and interesting way to approach the subject of healing, which all of could use more of, no doubt.

     Now, the source of all divine determination is God, and He is certainly, and unabashedly determined to return us to wholeness, and this applies to states of non-wholeness both in the microcosm, and the macrocosm.

     I would venture to say that this determination to return us to wholeness is clearly one of the most prominent attributes of His Love manifest within the very fabric of our lives. This is worth thinking about. Anytime we can get a highly focused handle on the subject of love, we should grab hold. Generally speaking, out of God's love, we see expressed an overarching desire to bring to all members of the divine family, the best and most precious gifts. See, we learned something useful here. When we are called to love one another, following this example, we are supposed to shower one another with precious gifts, ones that are useful and purposeful. The most significant of these would be the gift of wholeness. Wherever the condition of non-wholeness obtains within us, there is God desiring out of His Love, to return us to wholeness by the shortest possible route.

     When you cut your finger, we soon discover that there is a divine determination built into the physical body itself to return your finger to a condition of wholeness, i.e. to a condition that reflects the perfection of the divine blueprint. According to the divine blueprint, things are supposed to be properly connected so they can exhibit their proper functionality. This goes for every possible injury, including the injuries inflicted upon the body by various diseases of one sort or another. Diseases, by definition, break connections, and when connections are broken, malfunctions multiply. Therefore, let all divinely ordained connections be restored. And God our Father is certainly determined to restore those connections. And so, the more quickly we allow this divine determination to coalesce within us, the sooner we are healed (made whole).

     And as Jesus demonstrated, this process can be accelerated. In other words, the Christ can accelerate the speed by which this divine determination will coalesce in our bodies. In the Science of the Spoken Word, which the Ascended Masters teach, and sponsor, we have the methodology by which the coalescing of divine determination can be accelerated in our temples.

     Now, I think it would be interesting to compare and contrast, on the one hand, the Word of the Master which heals a condition instantaneously, and on the other, the practice of decrees (by unascended students) over a long period of time. Both are examples of the Science of the Spoken Word. The Word of the Master, because he is totally fused to the divine will, is all powerful, and will bring about a degree of acceleration that appears instantaneous. In other words, in response to His Word, the quality of divine determination coalesces instantly; what the divine is determined to make manifest (the immaculate concept) is made manifest now, without any delay. And then, on the other hand, a student might spend weeks, or months, or even years, giving healing decrees to alleviate a particular condition in the body temple.

     And so, we wonder why we struggle along at a snails pace in this respect, when the Master's Word would bring the totality of divine determination into manifestation in an instant.

     The difference between the two, of course, is the degree of fusion that the soul has achieved with the Will of God. Remember that Jesus Christ said, that all power was given unto him. What he commanded, through the use of the Science of the Spoken Word, was made instantly manifest. And thus, we see that the level of power each one of us has access to, is commensurate with the degree of fusion with the Divine Will that we have achieved.

     This brings us to the subject of healing in the macrocosm, the coalescing of divine determination in the macrocosm, within the whole life of the soul, as opposed to the need for the healing of a particular component of the body.

     Healing in the macrocosm is about the fusion of the soul with its divine identity, which represents the process of fusion to the divine will, and that in turn is associated with the level of healing power resident in the chakras, and is associated, as noted, to the amount of acceleration that the soul can command, when it comes to the coalescing of the level of divine determination necessary for the healing of a particular part of the body. So, the two areas, healing in the macrocosm, and healing in the microcosm, are closely interrelated.

     Healing in the macrocosm, is the process by which the soul is reconnected to its divine identity. This process of reconnection is required, because the soul, in the fallen state is in a state of disconnection. The soul is disconnected, in terms of experiential knowledge, from both its divine identity and divine source. And this condition of disconnection has a certain momentum to it, like a snowball rolling down hill which is continuously gathering speed, until it hits bottom. In other words, the gap between the soul and its divine identity is actively becoming wider and wider and wider. The speed at which this widening action is occurring is accelerating, and it will continue accelerating until it too hits bottom, falling completely into the abyss of non-being. There are forces at work in the world of human Maya that operate continuously to pull the soul and its divine identity wider and wider apart. It's like that cut on your finger that not only refuses to close, but becomes wider with every passing day.

     And so, the subject of divine determination comes into very sharp focus in the macrocosm.

     On the Path of Initiation, the Ascended Masters will reveal elements of the divine identity to the soul, and because of this disconnected state which the soul finds itself in, these divine elements will appear to be at a distance: a gap exists between what the soul is now, and what the soul needs to become, and that gap must be closed. But the soul cannot simply step across the gap. Not at first. Remember the force that is actively working to widen the gap between the soul and its divine identity. The very instant the Master reveals a point of the divine identity to the soul, a point of divine identity that is at some distance away, that gap-widening force will sink its fingers into that existing gap, and work to widen it, and widen it, and widen it, until it is so wide, that the revealed point of divine identity is completely out of sight, and out of mind, again. Given the existence of this gap-widening force, if the soul is ever to achieve closure, the soul must express a counter force in the direction of closure. And this counter force in the direction of closure must be expressed consistently, which means daily, and ultimately hourly, and ultimately moment by moment, so that the effect of the gap-widening force can be overcome, and closure secured. Closure secured with the divine identity, which is a return to a condition of wholeness, is defined as healing in the macrocosm. The soul and its divine reality have become one whole again.

     Now, effort made against an opposing force, consistently, over time, is defined as determination.

     When the soul first comes onto the path, the amount of divine determination that it has externalized, is zero. The power of healing is not present in the soul to any degree at that point. The soul comes onto the path in the grip of that gap-widening force which is actively widening the gap between the soul and its divine identity day by day. Though I would interject the idea of sponsorship here, where the Master will step into the world of the soul and neutralize the gap-widening force for a period of time so the soul can grab hold of the Teaching, which is the first tangible element of its revealed divine identity. Again, the Teaching is the first tangible element of its revealed divine identity. The Master will give the soul the inner vision whereby the Teaching is recognized as that point of divine identity which the soul must seek closure with. All of us who have found the Teaching, found it because of this initial intercession. But, as soon as the soul finds the Teaching, and tries to get closer and closer to it, the gap-widening force will be there in the very midst of that relationship, doing everything it can to widen that gap. And so, when the soul finds the path, the Ascended Masters ask the soul to start pulling in the other direction, in the direction of the divine. In a word, to begin the process of building up the quality of divine determination. And this building process is accomplished in three fundamental ways.

     First, we work to overcome the gap-widening force that tries to separate us from the study of the Teaching. We push in the other direction by making the effort to fill our minds with the divine ideas in the Teaching. Yes, we make the effort to study the Teaching. The basic outline of our divine identity is found in the Teaching.

     Second, we work to overcome the gap-widening force that tries to keep us from practicing the Teaching. Practicing the Teaching is the way we close the distance between our souls, and the divine identity which the Teaching contains. We push in the other direction by learning about the Science of the Spoken Word, and by practicing it. The gap-widening force which is trying to widen the gap between the soul and its divine identity is consumed by the Light invoked through the Science of the Spoken Word. And at first, before the soul has developed a personal momentum in this regard, this element of freedom is achieved most often in group decree sessions which provide access to an inherent principle of multiplication. And within the space of freedom thereby carved out, the Light invoked through the Science of the Spoken Word will deliver to us incremental knowledge of the more personal (inner) elements of our divine identity.

     Third, we work to overcome the gap-widening force that tries to keep us from becoming the Teaching. Becoming the Teaching is the way we become unified with it. We make the effort to adopt the basic elements of the divine identity that are outlined in the Teaching, especially in regards to the very basic behavior patterns, things that the divine identity should learn to express, and things that the divine identity must learn not to express, and moreover, we make the effort to adopt the more personal elements of the divine identity that are revealed to us in the course of our devotions, which represents, more or less, the landscape of the individual divine mission.

     The gap widening force is active in all three of these areas. And the soul must learn to consistently pull in the opposite direction in all three areas. Therefore, what we are talking about here is the development of the quality of divine determination in all three of these areas. It takes a certain amount of determination to study the Teaching on a consistent basis. It takes a certain amount of determination to practice the Science of the Spoken Word on a consistent basis. It takes a certain amount of determination to consistently live the principles that are embodied in the teaching. And it takes a certain amount of determination to outpicture, and make manifest, in other words, to BE those points of the personal divine identity (once revealed) that are associated with our divine plan and mission.

     In all three of these areas we see the principle of the coalescing of divine determination made manifest. We begin with no determination in any of these areas. But over time, our determination becomes greater and greater. And this is the action of divine determination coalescing in our worlds. In other words, atoms of divine determination, added to a previously existing level, will create a larger and larger unified field of determination, which not only becomes stronger and stronger, but becomes more highly targeted, as the divine plan and mission comes into sharper focus.

     All of this amounts to healing in the macrocosm. When we develop high degrees of determination in all three areas, and it must be all three areas in balance, this is where the soul has become fused to its divine identity, to its Christ Reality, and thus, that soul will have access to more and more power to work for the victory of the divine plan in larger spheres of activity.

     Now, you probably noticed this, that the first two categories of activity are important parts of the healing process, but do not deliver, in and of themselves, the actuality of healing, the actuality of closure with the divine identity. I am speaking about the study of the Teaching, and the practice of the Science of the Spoken Word at the Altar of the Holy Grail.

     The third area, mentioned above, is where the actuality of healing in the macrocosm actually manifests itself. Divine determination must coalesce to the extent whereby, the soul pulls only in the direction of its divine identity. In other words, the thoughts in the mind move in concert with the divine identity. The feelings experienced, are the feelings of the divine identity. The mouth, the feet, and hands move in concert with the divine identity. When the soul has overcome contrary forces in this regard, true healing is a fact, albeit a fact not so easily attained to, because of the difficulty of overcoming those contrary forces. This is the primary field of battle for every soul, that inner Battle of Armageddon, between the obstinate desire of the not-self to live on (in such mediocrity no less), and the desire of the soul to give its full allegiance to the Divine, and all the beauty, nobility, and majesty associated with it. The gap widening anti-force is personified in the not-self, the dweller on the threshold. This not-self must be totally destroyed if the soul is to ever close the gap between itself, and its own Christ Identity. It is impossible for the soul to entertain both the condition of separation from the divine and fusion with the divine at the same time. If the soul desires fusion with its Christ Identity, it must totally and completely abandon the not-self, which personifies separation.

     The mission of the Summit Lighthouse, and Church Universal and Triumphant is to show the way, to mark the path that others can follow, towards this goal of total not-self destruction, and beyond to total Christ Fusion. That is why it is particularly destructive of the plans and purposes of God our Father for the members of this organization to indulge leaders who personify the gap-widening consciousness, rather than the consciousness of healing, and closure with the Christ. Those who personify the gap-widening consciousness can only lead people into regions of greater and greater separation between their own souls, and their own Christ Identities.

     Jesus Christ is an example of a soul who walked the Path of Initiation, worked with God, and the Masters to build up the quality of divine determination within his temple, in all three of these areas, to such a degree, that the gap between his soul, and his Christ Identity was completely closed. He became totally fused to his Christ Identity, and thus expressed the condition of total wholeness, total healing in the macrocosm.

     Now, we must remember, that the divine determination that was manifest in him, that allowed this fusion to take place, did not originate in him, but rather, it originated in God. God our Father was determined to completely restore the connection between the soul of Jesus, and the Christ Identity which He had designed for him. Our Father's divine determination is presented to the soul in the course of its devotions, via the ministration of the attending Masters, in a form and manner, whereby the desire nature of the soul itself is ignited, and that determination now has life within the soul itself. In other words, when all the debris is cleared away, when divine beauty is presented to the soul, the soul will leap to embrace it. The soul will be awed and wonder struck. And thus this power of awe which seeks to embrace divine treasure, is the substance of divine determination itself, which originated in the heart of God, but it has been translated to the world of the soul, and the soul now calls it its own. The soul relishes the condition of unity with the reality of divine awe, divine wonder, the power that closes the gap between the soul, and each revealed divine treasure. And thus, the soul which has become a repository for the Father's divine determination in this way, the determination to close the gap between the soul and its divine identity, has become a repository for this power of closure, which is the power of healing.

     This divine determination to close the gap between the soul and its divine identity, is the source of all healing; it is the power by which all gaps are closed, it is the power by which all disconnected circuits, are reconnected. When this divine determination is at this level of abundance in an individual, so powerful as to overcome all the opposition of the world to the fusion of the soul with Christ, then this is a level of divine determination that can then be shared with others, can flow into the world of others, to accomplish the fact of healing in others. Again, this divine determination can close all gaps, and repair all disconnections. And Jesus certainly made that clear enough. Healing was the primary theme of his mission.

     And so, our access to healing power, is predicated on the level of divine determination we can anchor, when it comes to the fusion of our own souls to the Christ Identity that God our Father has already designed for us (albeit one that had been adorned by our own willing cooperation over aeons of time before the time of the Great Rebellion, and the fall of man from grace).

     And this is really a very down to earth subject area that must be expressed in every-day choices, in every day actions, in the physical world. The Christ that God is calling us to be, can only BE, within the context of our daily lives.

     Now, it is the desire of God our Father, and Mother, to bring healing to every soul on earth, and once healed, to bring every soul home to their original divine estate. This desire of God, represents the overall divine purpose for the earth. This is the Divine Plan. The Teachings of the Ascended Masters, and the Path of Initiation described therein, is set forth to fulfill this purpose and plan. Therefore, the Divine Plan and Mission of every soul on earth is to cooperate with the Ascended Masters in the healing of their own souls, which means the fusion of their own souls to their own Christ Identity, and at the same time, to lend a hand of assistance to help the Masters bring this healing to other souls, i.e. the process by which they too can become fused to their own Christ Identity.

     As we, individually, walk the path, we are walking a path which is designed by God, and administered by the Masters, to bring us into greater and greater congruency with this divine plan and purpose. On the one hand, our choices bring us into greater and greater congruency with the process and fact, of the healing of our own souls, and on the other hand, our choices bring us into greater and greater congruency with the capacity to contribute to the healing of other souls. Again, we see that we start out at the point of zero in both areas, and as we walk the path, we are being asked to increase our congruency in both areas, incrementally over time.

     When it comes to the healing of our own souls, this has top priority, because being the example of a healed soul, a Christ Fused soul, is the most important way that we can contribute to the healing of others. But, it is also true, that the points of Christ Fusion that we are asked to integrate ourselves with, these will always be points of greater divine purposefulness. The pyramid provides a good conceptual model to help us understand this point. As we add layers of Christ Reality to our identity, the self-evident role of this identity, the self-evident responsibilities of this identity, the self-evident obligations of this identity, the self-evident duties of this identity, rise proportionately higher, towards the highest expression of divine purpose, which would be the healing of all souls on the planet.

     When a soul is wondering what it should be doing with its life, trying to untangle the voice of the gap-widening force, from the prodding of the Masters, when it comes to next steps on the path, next steps on the path will be those which would increase one's level of constructive contribution to the larger plan. If you have been given an idea to outpicture that would have the effect of advancing the purposes of the Masters, even if it appears to be only a small idea, that would be a divine directive calling you into a greater congruency with your Christ Identity. And such a step, because it brings the soul into a greater congruency with its Christ Identity, is also a step towards personal healing.

     Our life circumstances, at any point in time, will reflect the choices we have made in this regard. Whatever those choices have been, generally speaking, the soul will yet retain a significant gap consciousness which God and the Ascended Masters will continue to work to bridge incrementally. In the course of our devotions the Masters will give us insights that represent what are to be taken as the next step on the path for us. To take the next step, is to close the gap between the soul and the Christ Identity just a bit more. But the gap promoting consciousness will oppose that next step. And therefore, the soul is asked to increase its level of determination, so that the opposition can be overcome. When the level of determination is increased, and the next step is taken, the soul has moved in the direction of healing, of wholeness, of Christ fusion. This is how we cooperate in the healing of ourselves.

     It is not good to indulge the gap promoting consciousness for very long. In other words, it is best to take your next steps quickly, set aside hesitation, doubt, and fear, and thus come into congruency with your Christ Identity more quickly, and thus, move more quickly into a mode of empowerment whereby you can more easily assist in the healing of other souls.

     The power of healing within us is a perfectly balanced manifestation of the threefold flame. Now, true it is, that the color of the healing light is emerald green. A very beautiful emerald green. But Emerald green is a combination of the purest blue, and the purest yellow (illumination). The color blue, which corresponds to the quality of determination we have been discussing, is wedded to the color yellow, which represents the purest understanding. Now, the purest understanding, would be the understanding of God's plan and purpose, obviously down to the most intricate levels, but framed by the overarching understanding that this plan and purpose has the highest possible priority for all souls on the planet. This is the quality of the purest yellow, the purest illumination, that comprehends deeply, that God's plan and purpose must be given the highest priority in all areas. This realization, wedded to power, results in actions which always move in the direction of divine purpose.

     But where does the capacity come from, that allows us to see clearly, that the plans and purposes of God are always given the highest priority? This is the pink aspect, that remains behind the scenes so to speak, when it comes to the healing emerald light, but forms the foundation for the development of the divine determination to hold to the path that will lead the soul to closure with one, and ultimately all facets of the Christ Identity. It is pure love for God. It is the capacity to respect God, to hold God in the highest esteem, to extend to God the highest honor at all times and under all circumstances, to appreciate God, to be grateful to God, to hold an immutable affection and admiration for God, to reside in the flame of reverence, of adoration, and of cherishment unto God. And ultimately, to walk upon the lofty fields of total trust.

     This is the central core of all healing. If this quality is not developed, the soul will not be able to manifest the determination necessary to hold to the divine path, but will be vulnerable to the voice of the gap-widening force, that would draw the soul away from the path of closure. Each time the Masters inspire the soul to take a step in the direction of the Christ Identity, the gap-widening force will offer an alternative, and if these qualities are not developed, the soul will choose the alternative again and again.

     This is matter of the greatest import of course, as we are talking about the healing of the individual soul, in terms of the path towards fusion with its Christ Identity. And it is a matter of bringing a larger wave of healing to the entire planet.

     There is only one way to accelerate the process of healing, on the individual level, and on a planetary scale. Students of the Ascended Masters must make a determined effort to devote every single day to the development of these qualities of respect, esteem, honor, appreciation, gratitude, affection and admiration, reverence, adoration, cherishment, love, and trust, unto God our Father and Mother. In this way, the process of fusion with the Christ Identity can be accelerated for all, and this organization can provide an aura of healing power for the earth, as it was intended to provide at the onset. No longer can we sit idly by, and expect these flames to sprout within our four lower bodies of their own accord. We must take the bull by the horns in this respect, and charge in a direct line to yonder goal posts.

     We are being called, therefore, to master the 1/7 axis of the Cosmic Clock quickly. This is the axis that corresponds to the 1 o'clock Aquarian line of God-Love, whose initiations are administered by the Master St. Germain, and the 7 o'clock Leo line of God-Gratitude, whose initiations are administered by the Goddess of Liberty. This is the line of St. Germain's Freedom Flame, which is the Violet Flame, corresponding to the soul chakra that is plotted on this line as well. All of the qualities mentioned above are associated with this axis of the Cosmic Clock. And it should surprise no one, that the foundation for developing those qualities, is the use of the Violet Flame. Only the Violet Flame has the power to consume the gap-widening force which is anchored, as a misqualification of energy on this axis, as ingratitude, as insensitivity, as a hatred for God himself, or of his laws which some of us have come into conflict with in the past. All the energies of non-respect, non-esteem, non- honor, non-appreciation, non-gratitude, non affection, non-admiration, non-reverence, non- adoration, non-cherishment, non-love, and non-trust have accumulated on this axis, and only the Violet Flame can consume them, cause, effect, record, and memory. And if the purity of the divine originals are to manifest, and if the soul is ever to become fused with the purity of these flames, the anti-flames must be consumed. And only the Violet Flame can do that. And so, our path towards personal healing, personal fusion with our Christ Identity, towards the development of the level of determination that will make that possible, leads through the goal posts mentioned, seated firmly upon on a magic carpet of Violet Flame.

     And therefore, the need of the hour could not be more clear. Every student must anchor a greater determination to take daily advantage of the Violet Flame dispensation given to us by Beloved Omri-Tas in 1984. Be assured that this additional level of determination, that we must attain to, will accrue to the reality of healing in all of us. He promised to multiply by the power of ten, quality for quality, every Violet Flame session that is 15 minutes, or longer, not counting any inserts or preambles. A fifteen minute effort in that respect is magnified by the Master to two and a half hours.

     This is one of the greatest boons towards healing, towards Christ Fusion, towards our divine wholeness, that the Masters have ever given. This is one of the most important gap-closing tools we have in that respect. But of course, the gap- widening force is going to try its best to pull the soul away from closure with that particular tool. Yes it will. It is not easy to maintain a daily closure with this valuable tool. It is not easy because of that gap-widening force. That gap-widening force will try to tell you that there is not enough time in day to do this. That gap-widening force will try to tell you that other decrees "count" for the Violet Flame. But that gap-widening force must be resisted, and we resist it, by making a determined effort to do our 15 minute session of Violet Flame decrees (before the altar) every day.

     Actually, there is no more important aspect of your Christ Identity that you need to be fused to, than that which is exuberantly happy about doing your 15 minutes of Violet Flame every day. Therefore, your efforts made in this direction, represents one of the most important acts of self-healing that you can possibly outpicture.

     Now, when you make the effort to do your 15 minutes of Violet Flame calls, for which you invoke the 10X multiplication dispensation given by Beloved Omri-Tas, you will have the aforementioned goal posts in front of you at all times.

     What this means (using the 70.11 Violet Flame decree as a baseline), is that for the first fifteen decree repetitions, you are focusing your mind on extending unto God the respect he deserves. You are determined to enter into that flame of respect. During the next fifteen decree repetitions, you are focusing your mind on extending unto God the esteem he deserves. You are determined to enter into that flame of esteem. During the next fifteen decree repetitions, you are focusing your mind on extending unto God the honor he deserves. You are determined to enter into that flame of honor. During the next fifteen decree repetitions, you are focusing your mind on extending unto God the appreciation he deserves. You are determined to enter into that flame of appreciation. During the next fifteen decree repetitions, you are focusing your mind on extending unto God the gratitude he deserves. You are determined to enter into that flame of gratitude. During the next fifteen decree repetitions, you are focusing your mind on extending unto God the affection and admiration he deserves. You are determined to enter into that flame of affection and admiration. During the next fifteen decree repetitions, you are focusing your mind on extending unto God the reverence he deserves. You are determined to enter into that flame of reverence. During the next fifteen decree repetitions, you are focusing your mind on extending unto God the adoration he deserves. You are determined to enter into that flame of adoration. During the next fifteen decree repetitions, you are focusing your mind on extending unto God the cherishment he deserves. You are determined to enter into that flame of cherishment. During the next fifteen decree repetitions, you are focusing your mind on extending unto God the love he deserves. You are determined to enter into that flame of love. During the next fifteen decree repetitions, you are focusing your mind on extending unto God the trust he deserves. You are determined to enter into that flame of trust.

     Now, as you develop momentums of determination on these points, you are developing the power of healing within your own body temple. You are actively working to close the gap between yourself and God. That is the definition of healing. And as the emerald light shines more and more brightly in you, you will be given to see more and more of God's beauty, and more and more of the beauty that God sees in you. And this will have the effect of accelerating your determination to hold fast, to veritably cling to the beautiful things that God and the Masters have shown you. And in that clinging to the divine, is the quality of Christ Fusion made manifest, is the power of healing made manifest.

     This is an absolutely essential exercise for every student of the Ascended Masters to engage in on a daily basis. I would ask you all, I would plead with you all, to please begin today. But make no mistake about it. You must be ready to take those steps which call you to a higher expression of divine purpose in your daily activities. What those steps will be, only you will know, as they will be fashioned by God to fulfill your own reason for being. But I hasten to underscore this point again, that no one has a reason for being that is outside of the context of the general divine plan. We must be healed, each of us, individually. And we must help, as we are able, as we rise into higher levels of congruency with our Christ Identity, the Ascended Masters in their efforts to bring that great wave of healing to the entire planet.

     May you pass every test.
