The threefold flame is God's gift to man and to woman for the implementation of the immaculate concept. The blue plume of the will of God is the means whereby you hold in consciousness the blueprint of life for the incoming soul - for those coming into form and for those already in form coming into the fullness of the light.
The blueprint is a mathematical equation, an alchemical formula, a precise pattern patterned after the Cosmic Egg. The blueprint of life contains, as the seed contains within itself, every characteristic of the Spirit which the soul is intended to anchor in the world of Matter-form. And all that is required for the physical outpicturing of the matrices stored in the etheric computer, in the mental faculties, and in the emotional body must be anchored in the seat-of-the-soul chakra, in the seed and the egg, and in the chromosomes and genes.
Other aspects of man's spiritual nature and of the blueprint of life are anchored solely in the etheric body and can be released into the form and form consciousness when the fervent desire of the soul to transcend its limited mode impels the descent of the grace of the Holy Spirit, imbuing the form with the flame of that Spirit and superimposing upon the atoms and molecules of selfhood the glow of Higher Being. Those, then, who would espouse the Mother flame and fulfill the mandates of the flame here on earth must be prepared to reinforce - by the will of God anchored in the will of the individual mind, by fervent and holy prayer, by fiat, decree, and invocation, by affirmation and visualization - all that God holds in store for the lifewaves of a planet.
This can be accomplished through meditation upon geometric forms, the structure of crystals, and the harmony and the rhythm of classical music. By listening to the sounds of nature with the inner ear, the mother is able to perceive with heightened soul sensitivity the structure of all things living. Inasmuch as all that exists in and as Matter-form was fashioned by the Creator after the designs of the universe of Spirit, the meditation on perfect forms prepares the soul to make the leap from Matter molecule to Spirit molecule. That leap is a necessary part of holding the immaculate concept, and that leap made daily in consciousness will one day be the giant leap of the soul into the arms of the I AM Presence through the ritual of the ascension.
Holding the immaculate concept day by day for every part of life is truly the means whereby the individual affirms the immaculate image of his own selfhood outpictured here and now in the world of form. For all of God which you see and confirm for and on behalf of mankind is recorded in the Book of Life as your awareness of selfhood as God. That which you affirm for others, you yourself become. This is why Jesus gave forth the teaching "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."1 The "me" to which Jesus referred was the Christ. Because his contemporaries could not understand that they, too, were the Christ and had the full potential of outpicturing the Christ through the Christ flame within their own hearts, he set forth the law in these terms.
Let present-day disciples of the Christ realize, then, that this science of the immaculate concept is the science of the enlightened ones of all ages. "Enlightened self-interest" is a term well worth considering. Far be it from us to confirm the world's cynical denial of the spark of altruism which exists in every heart; for enlightened self-interest is the highest altruism - the altruism which places the Christ within oneself as the first object of one's adoration. To serve the Christ in others is to serve the Christ within oneself: and to serve the Christ within oneself is to serve the Christ in others. And many who will be required to make choices for the light, many who will be required to forsake the hostility or even the amicability of family and friends, may find this simple expression of the law an important key in their deliberations.
Understand, then, that the practice of the science of the immaculate concept is the liberation of the soul of the practitioner first and of the patient second. And this law is also expressed in the prayer "Forgive us our transgressions even as we forgive those who transgress against us."2 In proportion as the soul forgives all in its circle of acquaintances, so does the Lord God forgive the soul. And proportionately as the soul withholds forgiveness, so does the Great Law withhold the aspect of mercy without which few among mankind could qualify for salvation.3
In this context the world and its evolutions are the objectification of the individual's own self-awareness - whether as the Christ or as the Antichrist. The world is then in one sense the creation of man. And this world of man's creating is the world in which he must work out the effects of his past wrong seeing, wrong feeling, wrong mentalizing, and wrong being. Lifetime after lifetime, the soul must come back to the very place where its own imperfect patterns have resulted in the manifestation of chaos and confusion. When the soul condemns the chaos and the confusion, it binds itself once again to those very conditions. But when the soul affirms the God-reality, the original matrix, the blueprint of life behind every imperfect form, then it affirms its own liberation from self-imposed limitation.
Those of you seeking to increase the flame of the will of God and the qualities of God-power, God-harmony, God-control, and God-reality as the blue cross of protection and perfection would do well to affirm that protection and that perfection of the cross of life, the balance of the lines of Alpha and Omega, for the self, the soul, and the Christ throughout the entire cosmos itself - all the while knowing that whatever you see throughout the material creation is an aspect of God's own Self-awareness within you which you can rightly claim as the outpicturing of your own identity.
The eternal fiat spoken by Jesus as he descended into form, "Lo, I AM come to do thy will, O God,"4 is a perpetual mantra that conducts the energies of being into the perfect matrices of life. The recitation of this fiat as you prepare for the holy days will magnetize to being and consciousness the very lodestone of the will of God - and of your soul's immaculate destiny. The denial of the human will, coupled with the affirmation of the divine will in the mantra "Not my will, not my will, not my will but thine be done!" is another means of sustaining the joy of perfection in a life of service.
I AM in the life of the Mother and the Mother of the life in you,
