BELOVED ARCTURUS

May, 1957 

I Am Arcturus, Elohim of the Violet Fire of Mercy and Compassion, in which Violet Fire you have found some interest and some solace in this embodiment, as well as in ages which have gone by; and with which you have experimented under the instruction of various Masters and teachers (Ascended and otherwise). 

I represent the activity and power of that Violet Fire of Mercy, Compassion and Forgiveness, which can and actually does raise the vibratory action of the electrons which make up the substance and the form of any created thing. 

Beloved ones, the use of this Violet Fire is just as much a science as is any of the sciences manifest in the world of form. This Violet Fire of which we speak is an intelligent substance and activity, already created for your use. By anyone who care to experiment with it, it can be drawn in, through and around the four lower bodies in particular (physical, etheric, mental and emotional) , as well as in, through and around their homes and affairs or through the entire planet itself and all its attendant evolutions still unascended. At your call and visualization of its Presence that Violet Fire will go into action instantly to render the service of raising the vibrations of energy, thus changing its quality into perfection.  

If your inner sight were opened at this time, you would be able to see the purifying action of that Flame as it passes through the substance of your flesh body, transmuting into light as it does the accumulation of shadows which you have drawn around the electrons. This accumulation, of course, has shut in the radiation of their blazing light and this has shut off your natural self-luminosity. If you could see this action just once and really see how much more light is released through your physical bodies after the use of this Mercy Flame, I feel sure that, as sincere as you are, you would become even more confident and enthusiastic about its reality, its efficacy, its power and your desire to use it. 

Now, our actual size varies according to the requirement of the Cosmic Moment and the planetary service which we desire to render. Thus, when I came into the atmosphere of the planet Earth twenty-four hours ago at the direction of the Cosmic Law and through the invitation of your own up-reaching consciousnesses, the Great Beings who direct Earth's evolutions suggested that I expand my Electronic Body until it was larger than your entire planet and its atmosphere. Of course, I immediately obeyed as obedience is so much a part of the Law of the Elohimic Builders. For the last twenty-four hour period I have been holding the entire planet, all within and upon her and her atmosphere within my own body, robe and radiance of Violet Fire. Now, of course, when I came closer here in order to address a group of people, I diminished that size and the concentration and focus of my Presence now comes within the compass of this room; within the Electronic Body of the speaker; into, through and around yourselves, and then is charged through you into the emotional, mental, etheric and physical bodies of all mankind. So, if your inner sight were opened, you would have seen first myself larger than the planet Earth. Then, as we came closer and closer to the class work, you would have seen my form, clothed in the same Violet Robes and the same jeweled crown of the Elohim becoming smaller and smaller in size but no less potent in power, I assure you. 

Accept Reality and Blessing of Arcturus' Decree

Now, this morning, in the name and by the Power of the victorious Presence of God which "I AM", I do now consciously invoke and direct into the emotional, mental, etheric and physical bodies of all mankind belonging to the evolutions of Earth still unascended, the Violet Fire of Mercy, Forgiveness and Compassion, to raise now the vibratory action of the physical and three other lower bodies to a point where the veil of maya no longer remains. Then they may see their Presence face to face; walk and talk with the Cosmic Beings, the Ascended Masters and the Angelic Host and thus can there be restored to this planet the beauty and perfection which she knew and had in the beginning of Her existence, before this veil of maya was created. To this end have I been sent to you this day by the Great Cosmic Law. 

I speak to the waters of the Earth; I speak to the substance of the Earth Itself; I speak to the substance of air which makes up the atmosphere of the Earth and I speak to the element of fire. In the Name and by the Power of that Violet Transmuting Flame, shall you now know freedom from the accumulation of discordant effluvia. You shall know that freedom in harmony of action. From the most developed Undine, Salamander, Gnome and Sylph to the least of these, we command, in the Name of the "I AM" Presence, OBEDIENCE to the Law of Peace and Balance, the Law of loving cooperation with harmony in this Universe! I speak directly to all of these beings and call for their continued obedience to the Law of Harmony so that we may again create a glorious Garden of Eden upon this Earth. 

Beloved beings of the Elements and your mighty Directors! As the Elohimic Representative of the Seventh Ray and the Superior of the Chohan of that Ray, I call for added assistance from your Realms in, through and around the Earth and all its people, as well as for the great "invisible" Realm which surrounds the planet to HOLD THE PEACE - PEACE ON THE WATERS; PEACE ON THE LAND; PEACE IN THE AIR AND PEACE IN THE FIRE ELEMENT AS WELL in the Name and by the Power "I AM". 

You Are a Scepter of God-power

Beloved ones, I bring to your attention again the truth that you are, by your very being a Scepter of Authority. You see, the electronic light streaming from the heart of your "I AM" Presence into your beating heart (this stream of life is sometimes called the "Silver Cord") forms a constant Scepter of Dominion; the positive pole the glorious Three-fold Flame in the heart of your own individualized "I AM" Presence and the receiving center is the Immortal Threefold Flame within your own physical heart. In the spiritually unawakened lifestream, this focus which abides within the physical heart is the negative pole. As such, it is the receiving center of just enough light to sustain sufficient intelligence within the brain to animate the four lower bodies and to render those specific services which sustain the individual personality's world and orbit. 

When one comes to a point where he is ready and able to serve great numbers of people and be a center of activity wherein much energy is to be set into motion for constructive purposes (protection, healing, etc.) he will find that the negative pole anchored within the heart becomes a positive center. Then you have the Threefold Flame in the heart of the Presence at the upper end of your Scepter (the "Silver Cord") and the individualized focus of that Flame within your physical heart as the opposite end. This forms a tremendous Scepter of Power which is really your own life! This can be qualified with any one or all of the Virtues of the Seven Rays and can be grasped and directed with authority to give any service and assistance required, wherever the need arises. Beloved Saint Germain has referred in previous instruction to the Scepter of Authority which stands before every advancing student, which Scepter he may actually grasp and use to redeem discordantly qualified energy, causing it to become and radiate perfection. 

Remember, beloved ones, a focus of that Scepter is already within you, as the smaller Threefold Flame at its lower end. That Flame is beating your own physical heart and the larger one at the top of the Scepter (your "Silver Cord") is beating the heart of your Presence. Your "Silver Cord" is actually life and light which is pouring down into the Immortal Threefold Flame within your heart and it is that light which is then directed forth with such power to give the necessary assistance required. Through your "Silver Cord" the life and light from your Presence keeps you connected with it at all times and, if given opportunity so to do, that Presence will help you to hold the perfect poise and balance in your consciousness, within your outer form and aura. Then, feeling yourself no longer to be a limited human being, but just that blazing Scepter of Light, you can mentally (if you were to be in public and it would not be wise to make yourself conspicuous by doing so by the use of your hands) you can direct that scepter into the cause and core of whatever condition needs perfecting, whether it be in person, place, condition or thing. By the use of this Scepter, you can draw forth and direct whatever activities of the Seven Rays are required Protection, Illumination, Love, Purity, Concentration, Peace and the power to use the Violet Fire of Transmutation, as it is needed. I think, however, you will require mostly the capacity to command and sustain PEACE! 

While you are practicing this activity and building a momentum of it in your own world, may I suggest that you concentrate upon one short command or decree at a time, thoroughly saturating your consciousness with that decree until it is really a part of you and can be drawn forth on demand almost automatically, as it were. You see, when there is a great deal of energy in motion around you, your own mental body is liable to be subject to the general agitation in the atmosphere and, unless you hold yourself very positive and absolutely controlled and unless you are very retentive of memory, some of the longer decrees might not be remembered by you in the crisis of the moment. However, you can always remember the words "PEACE be still!" As you know, the statement "The Light of God NEVER Fails" (spoken three times, either silently or audibly) is an excellent statement to call protection from the Ascended Host and you already have a good-sized momentum built of that statement. 

Now, please visualize that Scepter of Light of which I have spoken to you. I want you to really mentally "see" this Scepter while I am talking to you. The top of It is the glorious Three-fold Flame from the heart of your Presence; the crystal-white light (your Silver Cord) streaming down from it into your physical heart; then see the Three-fold Flame within your heart at the base of the Scepter. For the moment, just please mentally "block out" the form of your Presence and, "block out" your human form also, so you see only that Scepter. That Scepter is your life and your light, your own lifestream. That is the same power which every Ascended Being uses! 

As we proceed with the following exercise, the actual substance of the Virtues of these various Rays called forth, will flow from the Scepter as you so wield it, blessing all the life it contacts. 

Let us visualize your Scepter in this manner: Instead of the crystal-white "staff" of the Scepter this time, see that "staff" become the magnificent blue of Lord Michael and the First Ray (still retaining, of course, the Threefold Flame at the top and bottom). The Blue Flame is the power of Protection. Now, just mentally grasp the Scepter (which is vertical in position to start with) and lay it horizontally in the atmosphere of the room, just a little above the heads of the assembly. Then let it move fanlike from left to right over the heads of all who are here. Let it move back to left again and then raise it to its original vertical position. 

Let us now take the activity of the Second Ray (which is yellow) and let us see the "staff" of that Scepter having become magnificent Yellow Flame which embodies the Virtues of Illumination, Understanding and Wisdom. First grasping it in its vertical position, let it descend in a horizontal position again over the heads of the audience and then, fan-like, let It follow the movement from left to right, then back to its vertical position in the center. 

Here let us wield the Scepter in beautiful pink (the activity of the Third Ray). Visualize that Scepter (which is your own life flowing from your Presence), the "staff" thereof becoming now a beautiful shade of pink. You see, you qualify it by your thought, for you must first know what pink looks like. Then ask your Holy Christ Self to qualify the Flame with Its feeling of Divine Love. Let that Scepter then descend horizontally to a point a little over the heads of the people and move it fan-like from left to right as before. Thus is directed this beautiful scintillating pink substance as it radiates the true feeling of Divine Love. Then return the Scepter again to the position of the vertical lifeline. 

Now, for the activities of the Fourth Ray, we shall charge the Scepter with the Virtue of Purity; the absolutely pure crystalline substance. We now let the Scepter descend again into a horizontal position over the heads of the audience and, starting at the left in fanlike formation, let it swing to the right, back to the left again and then to its vertical position. Thus it pours its purifying radiation over the entire assembly. 

Next, let us visualize the Scepter in lovely green (activity of the Fifth Ray) . This is the green of Concentration and Consecration to service - Dedication. First we hold the Scepter in its vertical position. Then, as before, let it descend horizontally over the heads of the people and move fanlike from left to right and back to left again over the audience, pouring that power and feeling of Divine Consecration into, through and around the four lower bodies of each one present; then return it to its vertical position. 

This time, let us draw the magnificent activity of the Sixth Ray, the Ruby Ray of the Master Jesus (which, incidentally, has nothing whatsoever to do with the destructive vibrations of "bull" red or "fire engine" red of the outer world of today. The Ruby Ray has a great deal of blue in it, something like the shade of the American Beauty rose). You may use this Ray in a beautiful shade of brilliant Gold, if you are more accustomed to using the Sixth Ray in that color and here you have the activities of Ministration and Peace. This will be one of the more active radiations to be drawn forth at this time and in the days to come. 

As you place that Scepter in the usual horizontal position which we have been using over the heads of our audience this morning, try to feel that radiation of Christ Peace and Ministration as you visualize that Virtue flooding out into the atmosphere of the room and being absorbed by the bodies of the people. Here let me suggest that, after you have used this activity for just your own home or Study Group, you can then ask your own Holy Christ Self and me to expand that Scepter until it is large enough and powerful enough to sweep fanlike over your entire City and bless all its inhabitants with the outpouring of that golden essence and feeling of God-peace. Always, at the end of Its service of blessing, the Scepter is returned to Its vertical position. 

Let us now draw on the power of Transmutation, the Violet Fire (an activity of the Seventh Ray). See that glorious Scepter with the "staff" thereof made of beautiful living Violet Flame and place the Scepter again in the horizontal position as we have been doing. Let it pour its transmuting blessings into the worlds of all present, having moved fanlike from left to right, back to left again and then to Its vertical position. 

Experiment With All Seven Rays

Dear ones, I have given you an exercise which I would like to have you practice daily when you have an extra moment or two. Practice this and when you are alone, in the privacy of your own room, you may raise your hand to grasp this Scepter and, if you will take a moment to feel it, you will be able to cognize the added power flowing out through your arms and your finger-tips as you hold it. When you are in public places (dining rooms or places of business, etc.) and a need arises for the use of this Scepter of Authority and Power, of course you would not make any fanatical gestures; nor would you let anyone around you know you were making such a call. In such instance, you would silently make the call to your own "I AM" Presence and the Being whose Ray you were using. Sometimes, you may see some response from the consciousness of certain individuals there who are receptive to the vibrations of the activities of one or more of the Seven Rays. 

We know that not all of you will like to use the activities of all seven of the Rays. Perhaps you will choose to work along one Ray alone; but I think it would be wise for you to expand your consciousness somewhat and experiment with the entire Seven Rays. You see, no one of you here, not even myself, knows just where you will be when the requirement for this assistance may come; nor what particular type of people or condition it will be your opportunity to serve. Some may need Peace, as I have said; some Protection; some Healing, etc. The various activities of the Seven Rays should become so very, very well anchored in your outer consciousness that you may be able to use them instantly, on demand! 

This may seem like quite a prosaic exercise to you but it has been thought wise by the Great Cosmic Law for me to give it to you for your use. Thank you for your loving interest and attention. 

(Explanatory note: The top of the Scepter is, of course, the glorious Threefold Flame from the heart of your "I AM" Presence and it is surrounded by a large Sphere of crystal-white light which is its own natural protective radiance. Then, flowing from it is the "staff" of the Scepter, in whatever color (quality) you wish to use it. The lower Threefold Flame from the heart of the unascended lifestream is in an upright position, surrounded by a Sphere of the same crystal-white light (its natural protection). This Sphere of Light holds the lower Threefold Flame attached to the "staff" of the Scepter. Do you see? 

Looking at your new chart, you will see the closeness of your Presence to your outer form so that this Scepter wielded for your personal use, would be at least five or six feet long and several inches in width (according to the illumination of the individual using it, for the Silver Cord expands in width as the consciousness becomes more and more illumined). The size of this Scepter can be expanded or contracted at will to meet the need of the moment. One may grasp his or her own Scepter and, qualifying it with the Ray of Healing, for instance, touch the upper Three-fold Flame of that Scepter to the "appearance" manifesting as distress in the affected part of the body. As you do this, ask your own Beloved "I AM" Presence to remove the cause and core of that distress and then, quite naturally, the effect must disappear and PERMANENTLY! Then see that part of the body instantly respond to the authority of your own God-self (your "I AM" Presence) and become wholly perfect. This may take a little practice on your part, but it does work! 

If it is your finances which need expanding, grasp your Scepter and qualifying it with the Golden Flame of Wealth, touch the upper tip of your Scepter to your wallet or purse, seeing the money you require INSTANTLY appearing therein. If this is done rhythmically - EVERY day - in FAITH BELIEVING, your own Beloved "I AM" Presence will move persons, places, conditions and things into action to bring to you that which you have visualized; that which you desire and require. KEEP IT UP! One cannot do this one day and then forget it for several more. IT MUST BE FAITHFULLY DONE expecting the results one desires! 

If the Scepter is to be used over an assembly of people, ask your "I AM" Presence through your Holy Christ Self and the Being whose Ray you are using, to make that Scepter the size and release of power which is required to render the greatest possible service and then return the Scepter to its original size. 

This activity can also be used in tremendously expanded power and size of the Scepter to purify, protect and generally bless and free an entire City. In the Name of your own Beloved "I AM" Presence, call to the "I AM" Presence and Holy Christ Self of everyone in that city and ask them to assist you (which service They are glad to render INSTANTLY at your call). Then by mentally picturing it, form a gigantic Scepter of Violet Flame (if it is purification you desire) in the center of your city making that Scepter about a city-block in diameter, first standing in a vertical position. The Threefold Flame at the top of that Scepter would be composed of a part of the Threefold Flame in the hearts of the "I AM" Presence of everyone residing in that City. The smaller Threefold Flame from the hearts of the people would be at the bottom of the "staff". Then see that Scepter fan out horizontally north and then south and back and forth, sweeping its radiance east and west also as it moves in fan-like action. Make your call to your own "I AM" Presence, Holy Christ Self and the Great Ones who are assisting you, to keep this activity sustained as long as you wish, day and night if you desire it. To keep it so sustained over a period of time, your decree must be given at least once a day with a good clear visualization of what you desire to have done. 

You may also have still another Cosmic Scepter of blessing fanning from east to west, adding its radiation of Peace or Divine Love to the purifying radiation you have already established. Tremendous assistance can thus be given to large numbers of people at one time and this can and will prevent much human distress from coming into manifestation as greater and greater "mass" purification of the people and Earth's atmosphere takes place.)
