The Ascended Masters Speak:

ON THE EFFICACY OF "ILLUMINED" FAITH

MAHA CHOHAN:

Use power in impersonal Divine Love 

The God-Virtue of FAITH is within the beating heart of every individual belonging to Earth's evolution, as well as those who have come from other Stars and Planets to hasten this evolution. It is represented as the blue plume of the Immortal Victorious Threefold Flame on the left side of the individual's Holy Christ Flame, and is also known as the Power Flame. However, FAITH or POWER without constructive works is "dead". Thus, particularly at this time of Planetary Crises, we are endeavoring to instruct the chelas, through Wisdom (the golden plume in the exact center of the Three-fold Flame) to use Faith and Power in impersonal DIVINE LOVE for the blessings of themselves and all mankind. 

EL MORYA:

Test every activity in which you place your faith 

As one of many Divine Beings, particularly interested in the Blue Flame and Ray, I can confirm the Beloved Maha Chohan's statement that blind Faith (or Power) can do more harm than good. It is the chela who is carefully instructed in the use of Faith and Power to bless the race upon whom we count for efficacious service in this Activity. 

Mankind, through the ages, have (through free will) placed their FAITH in other unascended individuals, who, using that FAITH and POWER for nefarious purposes, created great chaos and destructive manifestations by the assumption of the power of their faithful followers. Thus have the dictators of the world secured the very energies wherein and whereby they promoted vicious and harmful causes. 

Chelas who have illumined FAITH refuse to tie their energies into these destructive activities and, rather, use that FAITH to set themselves and others free from distresses of every kind, replacing such distresses always by happiness and freedom. TEST, TEST, TEST, every Activity in which you place your Faith and to which you give the Power of your attention (your very life itself) before you are lead into the unhappy experiences which result from blindly accepting as Truth that which is presented to you, from the seen, as well as the unseen. 

LORD LANTO:

"Many will come in my name, but I shall not be with them" 

Wisdom in your use of the energy of your Faith and Power is taught by the Brothers and Sisters of the Second Ray. In the days of `lo here and lo there', the chela is reminded that the Words of Beloved Jesus are as true today as when he first spoke them. "Many will come in my name, but I shall not be with them". Those who consciously practice and use the Power of Faith to forward their own destructive ends will be held accountable before the Karmic Board at the close of this embodiment. 

Those, who have had Spiritual instruction, and yet choose to give of their energies to sustain such unfortunate individuals are also held accountable to the Cosmic Law and greatly hinder their own progress thereby. All destructive activities require more power than can be generated by one individual and the conscious Faith and Power of their constituents is the only means wherein and whereby they can sustain these unfortunate activities for a time. 

PAUL (The Venetian Master):

Pride always goes before a fall 

Seeing, as we do, the overall picture of the Earth and its atmosphere, we know that many disembodied individuals, still determined to have their own way in the world of form, utilize an embodied individual who has an affinity of vibration to them. 

All psychic and astral creations, as well as their creators, are actually vampire activities, living on the Faith and Power of foolish peoples who desire, for personal reasons, to build their personal egos. 'Pride (especially of a so-called spiritual nature) always goes before a fall'. In this Cosmic Hour, the fall will come more quickly and be more evident to the Spiritually discerning than in ages past. 

Therefore, we on the Third Ray, do implore each earnest chela to call to Lord Michael, the Archangel, to cut you free NOW from all known and unknown sources that could, at any time, use you as a channel for the expression of their destructive activities, and to help you to cognize and express always the good, the true, the lasting goodness of God, here on Earth as it always expresses in Heaven. 

SERAPIS BEY:

Use the power of exorcism 

I have always been an advocate of EXORCISM in the very finest of its use, because many well-meaning peoples are unknowingly caught in the astral realm or suffer the many "hexes" placed upon them by those well trained in the use of psychic magnetism. Even on Atlantis, such individuals, called the Black Priesthood, were enabled to enamor thousands of peoples, thus using their Godgiven energies to sustain the very forces which eventually caused the sinking of that continent and its peoples. 

Exorcism is the freeing of all individuals bound, consciously or unconsciously, to discordant and distressing appearances and we, the White Brotherhood, will assist you in the use of this Power of God, given in Mercy, to set all imprisoned life free, from conscious or unconscious pressures of a discord and nature. All through the ages, since the coming of the laggards to the planet Earth, individuals have been taught the power of exorcism, but, alas, too many have kept this power within their own use and, through the inversion of the law, have exercised the dominating Power which can and does hold other individuals from expressing their Divine Plan. 

One of the greatest of the dangers of such domination is fear, which we, presently, are endeavoring to remove (at inner levels) so that the thinking man can have access to his own "I Am" Presence and the Divine Hierarchy. When the cause and core of such fear and domination are removed, the effects upon millions of peoples on Earth will be removed. Hasten that day. 

HILARION:

Watch where you place your faith 

There is a definite mathematical measure of the use of energy (God's life) entrusted to any individual, whether embodied or disembodied. Therefore, man is truly held accountable for the use of every electron which has been given, in love, by God to him to externalize his Divine Plan. FAITH is a beam of energy which ties into the person, place, condition or thing, in which the individual places it. 

Upon the return of that energy, along the same beam directed, consciously or unconsciously, towards some objective, there flows into the individual's world the full gathered momentum of the project or activity in which he has knowingly or unknowingly placed his faith. Therefore, it behooves the wise chela to examine very carefully the motive behind the activity or project into which he has directed his very life. 

NADA:

How to detect the integrity of your teacher 

As we desire so much in this year of 1959 to set all imprisoned life free, we invoke all the FAITH OF GOD AND HIS GOODNESS and direct it in, through and around every chela whose motives are honest, earnest and sincere. Thus, even if they are enamored of their own personal importance to the expression of God's Kingdom of Heaven here on Earth, the destructive invisible or visible forces which play upon their Faith can be quickly melted away. That is our Service to God, his Divine Messengers and all the imprisoned life belonging to the Earth and her attendant evolutions. The further one progresses upon the true Spiritual Path, the more humble and selfless he becomes. This is a good guide as to the integrity and honor of your teacher. 

JESUS:

How to exorcise evil 

As all the gentle readers know I used, in my Ministry, the power of Exorcism, as taught me by my Guru, Lord Maitreya the present Buddha. I kept my consciousness always reminded that it was not I, but the Father, through me, that performed all the so called miracles accredited to me and many more, not recorded at this time. There is no greater Power than the God who, in love, created both you and me. When you cognize this fact, you also shall be able to consciously exorcise evil wheresoever you see it manifest and replace it by wholeness of body, soul and nature! Practice, for you have many opportunities so to do! 

SAINT GERMAIN:

Don't consent to be hypnotized 

The use of the Violet Transmuting Flame is one of the greatest Natural Activities of Exorcism, as the Violet Fire actually changes the quality of the energy used by embodied and disembodied individuals into a constructive expression. The sincere chela, knowing and feeling the efficacy of this Violet Flame, can dissolve hexes of the past and present and also help well meaning individuals to place their Faith in God and his Divine Messengers. Thus, they become channels for the externalization of God's Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, hastening the establishment here and now of Freedom's Holy Star. 

Hypnosis (except as used professionally for medical relief) is one of the greatest known expressions of domination of the outer personality over others. It is well known that individuals respond to hypnosis only when they are lethargic, submissive to its powers or easily influenced, usually due to the past record of previous lives. 

People of today! You are not like the innocent children who can be hypnotized by an imaginary ring through which it will not pass. You are Sons and Daughters of God, himself! Arise to that Godhood and, in so doing, help me to help all imprisoned life free! I expect this Service in this Hour, for you have vowed so to do and I hold you to that vow with my Faith in the goodness inherent within you!
