BELOVED ASTREA and THE ELOHIM OF PURITY

(First of the addresses given at the Autumn Class on the Beings of the Four Elements)

Sept. 27, 1956

BELOVED ASTREA:

Blessed Children of God, seeking with all your hearts to purify the Earth and all the evolutions belonging to it, we are so grateful for your sincerity, your faith, your constancy of endeavor and for the actual works which have been performed through your knowledge, understanding and application of the Spiritual Law. 

In endeavoring to understand the right use of the Sacred Fire, the student must first learn that the Sacred Fire itself is consciously qualified, obedient, intelligent life, eagerly willing and capable of rendering the service for which it is called forth! The acceptance in the outer consciousness (feeling world particularly) of the already gathered momentums of various qualities and activities of the Sacred Fire (such as the Freedom Flame, Resurrection Flame, etc.) is so essential to the success of its use. 

The Sacred Fire renders two services, one manifesting as the power of Precipitation, the conscious creation of constructive form in any Sphere, including the physical appearance world; the other manifesting as the power of Etherealization (dissolving) of form at the completion of its usefulness. 

What Are Salamanders?

The Salamanders are the Beings which serve the Fire Element and are of tremendous assistance to the Directors of the Fire Kingdom. Many of these Salamanders are as large as the Empire State Building (in New York City) while many are as small as the head of an ordinary pin. They serve constantly under their Directors to dissolve the impurities released from mankind through the destructive use of their creative centers (thoughts, feelings and spoken words) and are a tremendous boon to the other three Elements - Earth, Air and Water. Perhaps it is difficult for you to conceive of Fire Beings acting as purifying agents through the Water Element, but they do! Without these Salamanders (many of whom come from the Electronic Belt around the physical Sun) the forces of the other three Elements would long since have rebelled violently, causing much cataclysmic action, fear and chaos to the people of Earth. I should particularly like you from tonight on to acknowledge and consciously bless these Salamanders for their service all through the ages, not only in this physical appearance world but also in the Inner Spheres where disembodied lifestreams dwell between embodiments. 

Fire, like every other Element, has given great blessings to the race by manifesting in a constructive manner, i.e., for incineration, heat, light, cooking, etc., and in a destructive way, also, causing the loss of homes, lives and property. Therefore, mankind in general have a terrific fear (often buried in the etheric garment) of the action of fire. Tonight, we are endeavoring to remove this fear from the etheric consciousness (memory world) of the people and replace that fear by a love of the purifying radiation and activities which are within the Sacred Fire. 

Many individuals (particularly those who have been burned at the stake in past lives or otherwise tortured by fire) have been deeply scarred etherically. The removal of the cause, effect, record and memory of such fear shall take place now! Then the activities of the Sacred Fire will be more welcomed by all the evolutions in the Earth, on the Earth and in its atmosphere as a liberating, purifying power. I so decree it! 

Through ages of misuse of the Fire Element, many disembodied lifestreams are also very much afraid of Fire. Thus, the purifying currents of the Violet Transmuting Flame, as well as the radiation of my own Ray and that of the Elohim of Purity, are violently rejected by the souls (even at Inner Levels) who have utilized the Fire Element to cause agony and death to their fellowman. Will you stop right here, please, and call for the removal of the causes and cores of all fear of the Fire Element and then, sincerely call on the Law of Forgiveness for any and all misuse of the Fire Element by your lifestream and that of all mankind, back unto the very beginning of such unfortunate practices. As this is done, from our Realm we shall be actively sublimating these errors of the past and present and preventing the mistakes of the future by mankind now embodied, as well as those who are to take embodiment here at a later time.

(Audience stood and gave requested decrees.) 

After the first Zarathustra brought back the remembrance of the use of the Fire Element to the outer consciousness of mankind on Earth, for a long time that Fire was loved and blessed by the Priests and the people and only used constructively. Then came the time when, through many ages, unscrupulous Priests and Priestesses invoked the powers of the Fire Element for selfish and destructive purposes. Salamanders who responded in obedience to those who were practicing such Black Magic rites became bound to the lifestreams of those who had invoked them and have followed those lifestreams ever since. We are asking you now to help us cut these Salamanders free from these lifestreams, many of whom are yet to be born on the Earth. Those with incendiary tendencies often have those tendencies stimulated by such Salamanders who have taken on the "mischief" of their masters. 

I smile at the consciousness of those who refuse to believe that the Earth first must be cleansed and purified from within out, before the glorious radiation of the Ascended Master Realm can be manifest again for the sweet Earth and all her evolutions. This idea is just as foolish as to think one can ignore the weeds which fill a field and, sowing fresh grass-seed upon them, expect to have a grassy lawn of velvety softness! 

My service to this Universe is to help remove the causes and cores of all the "seeds" of human selfishness, discord, limitation and distress from within the four lower bodies of mankind, as well as the mass creations which blanket the Earth and its entire atmosphere. Many of you individually are going through the process at this time of having certain destructive qualities, tendencies and cores of impurity removed from your four lower bodies. It is sometimes no more pleasant to experience this than it is to have a tooth pulled from an abscessed gum, but it is just as essential to the permanent well-being of the individual. 

You would be amazed at the tenacity with which individuals hold on (in the feelings) to certain habits and tendencies. They really enjoy them and are not at all either eager or desirous of letting them go; also, the humanly created entities of discord really hate the purifying activities of the Sacred Fire, fearing the loss of their identity. This resistance is what we must meet with the help of sincere students who will invoke our aid, since we must have the call and authority from your octave, from those still in physical embodiment where the need is to be met. 

As I have told you previously, I chose to co-operate with the Beloved Elohim of Purity - creating, sustaining and expanding by use, the activities of my Circle and Sword of Blue Flame which I release at your call in, through and around whatever destructive condensations of energy you designate in that call. Dear hearts, I just cannot express to you in words my gratitude for your having called to me through the years and having thus given me such freedom to act in the emotional, mental, etheric and physical bodies of Earth's people. Thus the "wedges" of impurity (See Beloved Astraea’s Address in Booklet No. 1, Ser. No. 5) which have been allowed to lodge between the electrons within the atom, are being removed tonight and the purifying grace (electronic light substance) of my Beloved Clair is taking the place vacated by the discord. I now present my Beloved Clair, the Elohim of Purity. 

ELOHIM OF PURITY:

Beloved ones! As I come into the atmosphere of Earth tonight, I bring the full-gathered Cosmic momentum of my purity to you, to all mankind and to all the Elements which have served Earth's evolutions all through the ages. Do you know that the only discomfort in the world comes from the lack of the substance of purity in one or more of the four lower bodies? Misqualified energy, changing the ratio of the speed of the electrons which form the atom, causes pain, limitation and distress of various kinds. The vibration of the substance of purity quickens the vibratory action of the electrons, helping them to expand their light, throw off the substance by which the individual has surrounded them by discordant thought, feeling and spoken word and restores them to the rhythm and harmony of the "I AM" Presence, in whose Divine and perfect Image each individual was originally created.

Purity is a substance. It is a rate of vibration which is contagious in the extreme! Please accept my purity today! Consciously open your emotional, mental, etheric and physical bodies to me today that I may pour into them that quickening radiation of Cosmic Christ Purity which I am! 

After my Beloved Astraea and all the Beings of the Sacred Fire (particularly those serving on the Seventh Ray) have removed the causes and cores of all impurity on this Earth from its people and its atmosphere, I shall be so much more welcome among mankind. People feel they are losing something when asked to invoke purity. I tell you that, instead of losing anything, they are gaining permanent peace, comfort, healing, supply, harmony and perfect balance by such invocation to my element. 

During this four-day period, we are endeavoring to anchor as much purifying energy as possible into the four Elements which have served the Earth for so long. This will release these beings from the resentments and rebellions against mankind who have been their tormentors as undisciplined human beings. It will also more easily open the outer consciousness of the people to a greater realization of the Truth and bring the restoration of the perfect atmosphere, individually and for the planet itself, in which there is no veil of maya hiding the glory of the Angels, the Ascended Ones and all who are assisting the race as a whole. 

Precipitation and Etherealization

Purity is very, very essential for the use of the two activities of the Sacred Fire to which my Beloved referred earlier in her address - Precipitation and Etherealization. 

In Precipitation, purity is necessary to the manifestation of a clear, distinct, perfect pattern in the Inner Realms or in the world of form. 

If the mental body is not purified, it cannot receive the perfect design from the Godhead or the Ascended Masters; nor can it manifest the strength to hold to that design against the disintegrating forces of doubt, fear, ridicule and the many other negative qualities in the atmosphere of Earth which always endeavor to destroy a constructive pattern in the outer world in which you presently abide. 

If the emotional body is not purified, the idea and pattern will be so tinged with selfishness and personal ambition that, again, the beautiful design loses much of its perfection and efficacy. 

If the etheric body (memory) is not purified, the failures of the past which are recorded there will often neutralize and sometimes completely destroy the form before it can be externalized for the blessing of life. 

Purity is also essential to enable one to consciously etherealize substance which has fulfilled its purpose, releasing the magnetic pull which has held the form together and allowing the electrons which have made up that form to return to the Sun for repolarization. 

In Etherealization, if the mental body is not purified, it will devise all kinds of schemes to "hold on" to substance and form temporarily loaned to the personal self, by the use of which he may bless his fellowman. 

If the emotional body is not purified, it will cling tenaciously to possessions as well as to people and clutter up the world with many forms which have completed their efficacy. These bind lifestreams (not only the embodied but disembodied) to such an individual, causing much unnecessary suffering to all concerned. 

If the etheric body is not purified, it will remember previous losses; be filled with suspicions and fears and the process of Etherealization will be hindered. 

If the physical body is not purified it, of course, will continue to enjoy the pleasures of the senses and the forms which gratify those pleasures. 

Every Ascended Being, Angel and Builder of Form uses life only as God intended it to be used to give some blessing. Then, when the forms which they have created have given their service, they release that life from that form so that it may serve with greater purpose in the future, the opportunity for greater service having been earned by previous obedience to these Celestial Ones. Would that mankind would learn this lesson of "loosing and letting go". Often have we witnessed the suffering that has ensued when individuals, refusing to learn this lesson, are finally forced by the bitterness of their own experiences to make this renunciation. 

Tonight, I ask you to call on the Law of Forgiveness for your own misuse of life all through the ages and to accept my gift of purity in its place, so that you may see, know and become the perfect expression of your own individualized "I AM" Presence, a Holy Grail, receiving into your outer mind the Divine ideas from that Presence which, through your purified creative centers of thought, feeling and spoken word you can externalize for your own blessing, for the expansion of this Activity and for the benefaction of your fellowman. Thank you, beloved ones, and good evening!
