I love the dark hours of my being.
My mind deepens into them.
There I can find, as in old letters,
the days of my life, already lived,
and held like a legend, and understood.
Then the knowing comes: I can open
to another life that’s wide and timeless.
So I am sometimes like a tree
rustling over a gravesite
and making real the dream
of the one its living roots
embrace:
a dream once lost
among sorrows and songs.
~ Ranier Maria Rilke ~
The Violet Transmuting Flame
(also known as The Freedom Flame)
Excerpt from The Seven Mighty Elohim Speak on the Seven Steps of Precipitation
By Thomas Printz
Pages 220-224
The tender solicitous love of the Father-Mother God of this Universe for Their children is perhaps most plainly shown by Their gift to those children of the use of the Violet Transmuting Flame. When consciously called into dynamic action in, through and around the individual, Its gracious presence and power are so far-reaching in Its merciful release from the penalties incurred by the discordant use of life’s energies that Its full meaning and blessing seem quite incredible to the average individual, especially when It is brought to his/her attention for the first time. However, those who are very sincere and wise will instantly and joyously seize this opportunity to “make things right” by the daily use of this Flame.
In a very short time, if It is persistently and consistently called into action at least three times a day, the one so using It will begin to feel a much “lighter” atmosphere about him/her, and many distressing conditions of body, mind, affairs and association will adjust themselves, and those annoyances will fall away as if they had never been.
Anyone can prove this for himself/herself, if he/she will!
Within every God-intelligence there is the power to master his/her own life! You see, life is energy—light essence—which flows constantly in rhythm from the heart of one’s own individualized “I AM” Presence. It flows into his/her physical heart and gives to that heart its energy and rhythm of beating.
In its primal state, that life is pure and perfect until it is used by the individual into whom it flows to make some form (determined by his/her thought) and then energized and made a living thing by the pouring of his/her feelings into it. When these creations are constructive, they make light, beautiful, happy forms in and around one’s aura, and they not only radiate their own blessings to their creator, but acts as magnets to draw like vibrations and forms from all they contact.
The opposite of this activity is also true and here, man/woman comes to a place where the daily conscious calling forth of the Violet Transmuting Flame of Divine Compassion, Forgiveness and Mercy is so essential. Depressed and destructive thoughts, feelings, spoken words and actions create such forms in the individual’s world also, and that individual, feeling resentment, injustice, pain, anger, etc. concerning them, fills those forms with the destructive rates of vibration and makes them live.
If the individual does not know how to protect himself/herself against such forms in the worlds of others (by the use of the Tube of Light), then since “like attracts like,” one is drawn to persons, places, conditions and things of similar vibration, thus increasing the distress originally caused by the destructive use of his/her own free will.
However, the tender, solicitous love of the Father-Mother God always provides a way out of all the difficulties into which Their children sometimes stray by a forgetfulness of the TRUE WAY, a desire to experiment with life, or just a general rebellion in the feelings against giving obedience to the constructive way of life and a determination to have their own way. The Violet Transmuting Flame is that way out, proving Itself absolutely reliable and helpful beyond all words to describe, to all who care to try Its use.
How Do You Use This Violet Flame?
At least twice each day (and three time is even better), go by yourself for at least fifteen minutes and make sure you are undisturbed during this time. Thoughtfully and sincerely use the statement provided below, endeavoring to picture the activity taking place just as and when you call It forth. Repeat the statement three times. Then keep your attention upon the activities of this Violet Fire, picturing It blazing all around you—rushing up from beneath your feet right up, in, through and around every cell and atom of the physical body, forming a pillar of Violet Fire about nine feet in diameter.
Without tension in the feelings, try to feel the power of this Violet Fire like a “blowtorch,” instantly transmuting into light every discordant thought and feeling form which you have ever created, drawn about you, or ever allowed to come into your world. Try it! It costs nothing to experiment with this wonderful God-friend of the ages. It cares nothing about your mistakes—Its only desire is to help you transmute them into light; bringing you comfort, peace and a sense of general well-being as It does so.
Give this Violet Flame an opportunity to show you what Its great loving heart of Mercy and Love wants to do for you. Use the above exercise faithfully for at least thirty days. Never miss one “treatment” and prove to yourself what a mighty assistance has been given you by your own God-presence—the Source of your very life.
Here is a suggested short decree for one’s use of the Violet Flame.
“Beloved Presence of God ‘I AM’ in me, Beloved Saint Germain—Cosmic Freedom to our Earth—and All Who serve on the Seventh Ray:
SEAL, SEAL, SEAL me and every individual belonging to Earth’s evolutions still unascended (whoever and wherever they may be), in a gigantic blazing pillar of the Freedom Flame of Violet Fire, in all transmuting Cosmic power, doubled each instant of each hour.
Let this focus be eternally sustained, all-powerfully active and ever expanding around each one, day and night, waking or sleeping; transmuting the cause and core of all destructive etheric records and all human mistakes, cause, effect, record and memory, into peace, health, happiness and the limitless supply of every good thing which God intended all He created to enjoy from the beginning.
I consciously accept this done—RIGHT NOW—with full power!
Dear Spiritual Friends,
Thank you very much for your interest in my new “spiritual initiative,” whose name came to me recently: The School of Spiritual Learning.
This is a Welcome! message to all of you, knowing we have participants scattered to the four winds, namely in the United States, Canada, Mexico, England, Scotland, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Portugal, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand.
Again, the launch date is Friday, April 22nd, at 3pm Eastern Daylight/New York time.
April 22nd happens to be Earth Day, Full Moon day, as well as Wesak (the celebration of Buddha’s birthday) in the west.
You will hear from me in the next few weeks leading to the inaugural class.
For the moment, I would like to inform you of the following:
We will be connecting via a webinar platform, most likely Instant Teleseminar, which is very easy to use. You will be able to join via phone or via the internet (either listening mode or full communication mode).
I am also considering using an email program such as MailChimp to make communication smoother and easier to manage.
Finally, I would like to share with you the tenets or objectives of The School of Spiritual Learning. I will expand on them during the first class(es) because I consider them as foundational topics or areas.
Please feel free to email me with any comments, questions or suggestions. I will be happy to read them and respond.
In Gratitude,
Gilles
Dear Spiritual Friends,
Some of you have at times expressed interest and/or listened to my radio show ‘Nurturing the Spiritual Spelunker in All of Us.’
I would like to thank you for your support, your presence, which I value deeply.
My contract with the network—Voice America—ends by mid-April and I decided NOT to renew it.
For two reasons.
First, I do not get the ‘relationship nourishment’ that I seek and need, meaning no one calls and no one emails me. And second, the format of the show does not allow for building community, or Unity Consciousness, if you will.
Starting Friday, April 22nd at 3pm New York time, I will be offering a new weekly program, or a new ‘class.’ Each class will be about 75 minutes long and I will send ahead of time a summary of the topics to be addressed.
I will be using a type of webinar platform which will provide, if desired, an opportunity for interaction (either Instant Teleseminar or Zoom). I understand that not everyone can attend at the specified time; the program will be recorded and anyone will be able to listen 24/7 by simply accessing a link.
As soon as possible, I would like to use a mailing list, and not any kind of messaging system, which can be very limiting.
If you are interested in this spiritual initiative, let me know and please send me your email address, at
Thank you very much.
In gratitude,
Gilles
Remember
Remember the sky that you were born under,
know each of the star’s stories.
Remember the moon, know who she is. I met her
in a bar once in Iowa City.
Remember the sun’s birth at dawn, that is the
strongest point of time. Remember sundown
and the giving away to night.
Remember your birth, how your mother struggled
to give you form and breath. You are evidence of
her life, and her mother’s, and hers.
Remember your father. He is your life also.
Remember the earth whose skin you are:
red earth, black earth, yellow earth, white earth
brown earth, we are earth.
Remember the plants, trees, animal life who all have their
tribes, their families, their histories, too. Talk to them,
listen to them. They are alive poems.
Remember the wind. Remember her voice. She knows the
origin of this universe. I heard her singing Kiowa war
dance songs at the corner of Fourth and Central once.
Remember that you are all people and that all people are you.
Remember that you are this universe and that this universe is you.
Remember that all is in motion, is growing, is you.
Remember that language comes from this.
Remember the dance that language is, that life is.
Remember.

(How We Become Human)
Each of Us Has A Name
Each of us has a name
given by God
and given by our parents
Each of us has a name
given by our stature and our smile
and given by what we wear
Each of us has a name
given by the mountains
and given by our walls
Each of us has a name
given by the stars
and given by our neighbors
Each of us has a name
given by our sins
and given by our longing
Each of us has a name
given by our enemies
and given by our love
Each of us has a name
given by our celebrations
and given by our work
Each of us has a name
given by the seasons
and given by our blindness
Each of us has a name
given by the sea
and given by
our death.

Boundaries
The universe does not revolve around us.
The stars and planets,
spinning through the ballroom of space,
dance with one another
quite outside of our small life.
We cannot hold gravity or seasons;
even air and water inevitably evade our grasp.
Why not, then, let go?
We could move through time
like a shark through water,
neither restless or ceasing,
absorbed in and absorbing the native element.
Why pretend we can do otherwise?
The world comes in at every pore,
mixes in our blood
before breath releases us into the world again.
Did we think the fragile boundary of our skin
could build a wall?
Let’s listen.
Every molecule is humming its particular pitch.
Of course we are a symphony.
Whose tune do we think
the planets are singing
as they dance?
~ Lynn Ungar ~
(Blessing the Bread)
When loneliness comes stalking, go into the fields, consider
the orderliness of the world.
Notice something you have never noticed before,
like the tambourine sound of the snow-cricket
whose pale green body is no longer than your thumb.
Stare hard at the hummingbird, in the summer rain,
shaking the water-sparks from its wings.
Let grief be your sister, she will wither or not.
Rise up from the stump of sorrow, and be green also,
like the diligent leaves.
A lifetime isn’t long enough for the beauty of this world
and the responsibilities of your life.
Scatter your flowers over the graves and walk away.
Be good-natured and untidy in your exuberance.
In the glare of your mind, be modest.
And beholden to what is tactile, and thrilling.
Live with the beetle and the wind.
~ Mary Oliver ~
(excerpt from The Leaf and the Cloud: A Poem)
For a New Beginning
In out-of-the-way places of the heart,
Where your thoughts never think to wander,
This beginning has been quietly forming,
Waiting until you were ready to emerge.
For a long time it has watched your desire,
Feeling the emptiness growing inside you,
Noticing how you willed yourself on,
Still unable to leave what you had outgrown.
It watched you play with the seduction of safety
And the gray promises that sameness whispered,
Heard the waves of turmoil rise and relent,
Wondered would you always live like this.
Then the delight, when your courage kindled,
And out you stepped onto new ground,
Your eyes young again with energy and dream,
A path of plenitude opening before you.
Though your destination is not yet clear
You can trust the promise of this opening;
Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning
That is at one with your life’s desire.
Awaken your spirit to adventure;
Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk;
Soon you will be home in a new rhythm,
For your soul senses the world that awaits you.

(To Bless the Space Between Us)
As channeled by Marlene Swetlishoff/Tsu-tana
December 17, 2015
Beloved Ones,
Let us have discourse on the quality of love known as spiritual illumination. Illumination means that one can now comprehend another level of reality. It comes out of the silence of contemplation and depends upon the silence for its stability. As one’s personality comes closer to spiritual perfection, one becomes aware of their higher purpose and their spiritual growth becomes their main focus in life. Their awakening personality will begin to follow the spiritual guidance that comes from within rather than through established rules and doctrines of religion and society. Spirituality becomes the central purpose and focus of their life. As one regains true knowledge through the divine that lives within them while still being embodied on Earth, they become willing to live in unity with this higher aspect of self. This awareness and illumination is a form of divine grace which encourages one to let go of all former patterns of thought and behaviour which do not match one’s spiritual aspirations. There is a longing to come closer to the divine and to feel at one with divinity.
This is a time to make all the new learning they are experiencing their own and to find ways of expressing it in the world. It is also a time to be kind to oneself. After an individual has been sufficiently cleansed and purified and their mind remains fully focused on the presence and qualities of the divine, a state of illumination may unexpectedly arise. In the initial experience, they might perceive a blinding and intense inner white light. They experience deep feelings of universal love and profound spiritual intuition and insight. For many months these deep feelings and insights will keep flowing in. These will gradually settle into a state of a raised and more intuitive and loving consciousness. They become aware of the divine presence within everyone and everything and their intuitive abilities are greatly increased. They radiate a presence of love, peaceful harmony and goodwill towards all who come into their sphere of influence. They become aware that they have received a spiritual gift along with the illumination experience and try to develop this into an ability that will lead them to help others awaken to their own higher potential.
One gradually gives up (crucifies) one’s personality and individuality. It is necessary to examine every aspect of their lives and make decisions about what they want to keep and what is to be discarded. They come to a point where they ask for nothing and desire nothing. They surrender their individual will to the will of the divine within them in total passivity and acceptance. By giving up everything and being completely passive, one is able to be filled with the divine spirit. They experience a constant peaceful and love filled union with the divine. They know themselves as a loving instrument of divine will that is meant to be used for manifesting the divine plan on earth. This comes from direct action of the divine and brings new knowledge and truths that one knows were not something previously known to them. Living one’s life in this state of illumination is easy and full of bliss; there is a permanent state of great happiness and contentment. It is like living in a state of grace that can never be lost again. Whatever one does is never for selfish interests but is always done for the highest good of all. They live a life of selfless service for the greater good of humanity and the universe.
Illumination may also occur simultaneously with the dark night of the soul or with the process of purification, enlightenment and selfless work. These may coexist together, causing emotional extremes over short periods of time. One does not need to be perfect to reach illumination but can continue their purification on deeper and deeper levels. They do not have to give up things, just their attachment to them. Illumination is the result of purifying and learning to control one’s mind, heart and emotions in order to develop a higher mental and emotional body. In today’s world, ones capacity to understand, comprehend and communicate has greatly increased and this makes it much easier to come to a state of illumination in one’s life. This information that is available helps one to be on an accelerated path rather than being lost in confusion and emotional misery for long periods of time as happened in times past.
With all the information that is easily deciphered and readily available on the different stages of the spiritual path for the spiritual seeker, it behooves each individual to develop the ability to discern and know what is right or wrong for them. They can do this by keeping their highest goal in mind and asking their inner guidance for help to be led to the right information for their next step on their spiritual growth path. What is most important is to maintain one’s purity of consciousness and keep their spiritual goal on the right path. In this way, one is led to the right material, people or events that is important for their evolutionary progress. Whenever one really needs additional information, their spiritual guidance will let them unexpectedly find it. Walking the spiritual path means finding ones own insights and personal relationship with the divine. This illumination can be the pinnacle of achievement of one’s lifetime rather than going with the flow of chaos. Their reality is experienced with unusual clarity, and a radiance and beauty that was never before suspected.
May the vast arena of the divine creativity in which your life is immersed become ever flooded with more light and compassion for all living things.
