The physical manifestations that do seem so real and tangible to an individual functioning in the Third Dimensional Plane are but externalized thought and feeling projected from that particular lifestream's consciousness. 

We cannot emphasize too powerfully the importance of your contemplation and careful study and meditation upon the Truth that what the individual entertains within his consciousness must, by the inexorable law of his own being, manifest in his experience. If you take a clear crystal bowl and place an object within it, the nature of the crystal is such that the object is reflected through it and stands revealed to all who choose to gaze upon it. 

For instance, a mortgage is but an inner feeling of limitation and lack which manifests in the physical world as insecurity. There is no external set of circumstances that has any reality or enduring life, except as the inner consciousness continues to feed it by accepting and recognizing the appearance as real. 

This has been proved positively, for when an individual passes through so-called death, all his debts and obligations are cancelled so far as he is concerned and the worry and sense of responsibility are no longer his, because his consciousness has been removed, forcibly or otherwise to another sphere of activity, and the etheric records, though still cluttering up the physical world, are no longer a part of his lifestream. 

People keep struggling with externals, continuing to hold the human concepts, thoughts and feelings with regard to their human form, their estate, their family connections and obligations and then wonder why their condition remains in a state of status quo. When the chela begins to understand the pliability of consciousness and the tremendous power of the Sacred Fire that will rush through the individual's consciousness, transmuting or dissolving the accumulation of centuries; when such an individual consciously invites and draws the Cosmic Consciousness through his own world, his affairs, his physical appearance and his whole life - this will affect such a complete metamorphosis as will be proof to the entire outer world that such an individual has perceived and applied Cosmic Truth to re-orient his life experiences. 

The changing of the human consciousness is not the matter of a moment, because the habits of centuries have gained a tremendous momentum, and the hospitality of the human self has invited every conceivable thought and feeling into the confines of his or her consciousness. 

When Beloved Jesus drove the money changers out of the Temple, he gave a powerful example of the positive attitude the chela must take in clearing his thought and feeling processes from the entertainment of any imperfection. 

USE, USE, USE the powerful pressure of the Violet Transmuting Flame, the Flame of Purity and all activities of the Sacred Fire Open the doors and windows of your soul and let there be washed out those imperfect concepts which continue to express in your world where they are rooted in your inner self.
