I learned a long time ago to always ask if some potential I am considering is “Highest Good and Right Action.” At first I just asked if something was in the highest good, and then I heard a friend add “Right Action” to his check-ins with guidance, and this made even more sense.
You see, the ego can justify all kinds of things as good, but if what you are considering doing is not in the highest good, then it is probably less than aligned with Divine Will.
Asking guidance whether or not something represents highest good and right action is a great way to check the ego and see if you are trying to justify something that doesn’t really serve you or others. Only wanting what serves the highest good becomes a way of clearing egoic influences. It is much easer to discern your guidance when you are able to ask this question sincerely, but you must also be willing to let go of whatever course of action the ego has become attached to.
Remember, the ego can find all kinds of reasons to justify something as good, so we must be really honest with ourselves if we are to find the discernment and clarity we need to tell the difference between a subtle egoic agenda and true guidance. The ego is great at disguising itself as guidance. You have to really want all of your egoic agenda’s to be unmasked, and then a great healing can take place.
Several years ago, my old friend Dr. Joshua David Stone paid me a visit on the inner plane and gave me a message from the Masters. He said that, “from here on out, it is very important that you always defer to the guidance of the Masters”. He was referring to the fact that the ego can become even more clever about maintaining its hold as you get closer to becoming free from its gravity.
The Masters need to see a constant commitment to remain in alignment with Divine Will before they will take you higher. When Jesus said “I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.” — JOHN 14:6 (KJV) , he was not simply talking about having allegiance with the person, but rather, obedience to the Law of One that he embodied, which is the foundation of the Holy Spirit. In order to attain the One (and return to it), we must enter the oneness of the Holy Spirit, and in order to enter oneness, we must enter the Law of One in our consciousness.
The Law of One says that we are all One, and anything we do to another we do to ourselves. It is such a simple truth, and yet it takes constant work to see past our blindness of this one truth. This is all about becoming responsible for the ripple effect of our lives.
When something is not highest good, it is usually because someone will be affected in an adverse way. If not you, then someone connected to you. It is also really easy to become attached to the ideal version of an outcome, not realizing that this may not be what we are aligning ourselves with. What our hearts really want is to always find that optimum path where everything flows, and if we constantly seek the highest possible truth of our guidance, we will find that path; we just have to let go of attachment to what it may look like.

In my last post I talked about my obedience training, and how all of my resistances to surrender fully to Divine Will were being broken down. Words like “discipline” and “obedience” do not always connect with people when they think about ascension or the process of enlightenment. Perhaps it would would be more meaningful to talk about where love comes into the picture of obedience training.
When Jesus called people to love their enemies, he was calling them into alignment with a form of love that is universal. As many of the people who heard this continued to fall into the gravity of his heart, this message created a shift in their consciousness, opening the community container for love to include even those people that were feared and hated by the community.
This was a compelling message and, the love behind it was so powerful, it commanded obedience with the will to bring all of humanity into the love vibration. Jesus was commanded by Divine Will to love his enemies, and he was teaching by example when he inspired others to do the same.
Likewise, I find in my obedience training that I am being commanded to open my heart more and more to those who have wronged me in the past. I can feel that I am part of the way that Christ’s love wants to reach them. I think of the man who robbed me at gunpoint about 5 years ago.
Perhaps I met him so that I would remember him when my heart became merged in Christ so that Christ’s forgiveness and love would be aided to reach him even more through me. Perhaps my compassion for him is having a nonlocal effect. I never held it against him, but I like to believe that the more my heart grows, the more love I can send to everyone that I have ever known.
For me, obeying Divine Will is the same as obeying Christ’s love. I am bound by the gravity of Christ’s example and must constantly focus on self improvement and self purification; a divine directive that was close to Prophet Muhammad’s heart.
Obedience to Divine Will means constantly recognizing every non-loving thought or expression and converting it or refining it into more loving and empowering patterns of thinking and behavior. This has to be done to reach the threshold of one’s transcendence into full alignment with the Christ Consciousness, and the refinement must also continue after.
I have had many visions of an all consuming flame of GOD’s love that is constantly stepping closer to humanity, as I take my own steps toward meeting and merging with it. I can feel the all consuming flame that seeks to purify the mind of all forms of duality, and the transformation I am experiencing through obedience to the Will of this Flame is happening very quickly.
I will try to describe more of this process as I experience it. We are all experiencing having our ego’s broken down and deconstructed as we surrender to the gravity of our divine selves. My hope in blogging about this process is that some might find in my writings a meaningful reflection of themselves.

One of my clients recently asked that I address the subject of the Violet Flame for the benefit of all. At this stage, I am welcoming all questions and writing prompts as I continue to develop this blog as a resource for people on the spiritual path.
Before I address how to work with the Violet Flame, it might be more relevant to address working with Saint Germain. Saint Germain was my primary guide for many years until he passed me over to Kuthumi for a time, before I was then passed to Pranananda. Saint Germain was also Pranananda’s teacher all the way up to his enlightenment, and he is still one of the main Ascended Masters I hear from. I call him my inner plane guru.
Many years ago, while conducting a workshop in Crestone, Colorado, Saint Germain appeared at the foot of my bed and began to give a transmission of the Violet Flame. He had come to give everyone in the workshop, myself included, an attunement to the Violet Flame, and this appearance was his way of introducing what the theme of the day was to be.
Even though I had worked with the Violet Flame before by invoking it into my meditations, I got a stronger dose of it that weekend than ever before. It made the whole subject even more real for me.
What the Violet Flame does is to transmute old energies that no longer serve us; to cleanse them and spiritualize them, updating the old and bringing it into the new. Sometimes the Violet Flame can produce a healing release of old energies as they are burned up and transmuted back into unconditional love, however it is not simply a magic formula for healing.
It might be more accurate to say that the Violet Flame bridges the old and the new together in a way that facilitates healing. For instance, suppose we had an experience in childhood where we shut down emotionally as a response to some kind of energy that felt threatening or dishonoring and, we have experienced this kind of emotional shut down being triggered over and over again in our adulthood. Over time we begin to see passed this, developing wisdom and insight about what this was about as we reach for the experience of greater unconditional love — the love of the higher self or greater self.
The Violet Flame comes to us as a dispensation. It is not a way around doing the kind of meaningful resolution work that Saint Germain teaches us about. There is a reason why things happen to us that create unhealed or stuck energy. When we are willing to do our homework, the Violet Flame can do more for us, helping to bridge the gap when we are close enough to the transformation that our efforts are worthy of grace. It might seem to those who have experienced it like a magic formula for healing, but I promise you there was some form of worthy effort that came first. So if you are willing to change and evolve, the Violet Flame can accelerate the process.
The Violet Flame can also help us to realize the path to healing. Take the example I just described two paragraphs above. If you had not even realized the source of the unhealed energy, invoking the Violet Flame could actually bring you the awareness of what you need to forgive, accept, or let go of so that you can receive more healing from the Violet Flame. It doesn’t just help a healing process to complete. It can reveal what needs to be healed and changed so we can take the right steps in our inner work so that we can receive more healing from the Violet Flame.
One thing that might give you hope if you feel you are struggling against certain patterns that seem difficult to change — we do not have to transform every bit of the patterns we took on to become clear of them. The weight of certain self-imposed limitations act as a catalyst to get us to muster the strength to change but, once we have become strong enough to begin moving our energy differently, the weight of our psychological limitations can be lifted off gracefully.
I can remember a time when I was working with Kuthumi on changing a certain pattern within myself and once I reached the moment of transformation, when my mind began to become more unconditional, Kuthumi lifted the remaining weight of the pattern off. It had felt like a dense, heavy mental energy, but I learned through this experience that I was not alone in shifting any of the patterns I was working through. It is really a team effort, and we mostly only need to reach a threshold to change our tune before grace can help us along by removing what we experienced as an obstacle before.
Most of these patterns we are working on healing are collective in nature and though these collective patterns may seem to have a resonance stronger than our own, it is really just a test for us to change our resonance. We don’t have to change the collective pattern, just the way we were relating to it. Once we become unconditional to the pattern, we no longer need it to test us.
Also, many of us often get stuck in the resonance of consciousness our parents were in. As children, we felt a lack or disparity in their consciousness that we wanted to change. We sacrificed ourselves and our alignment with Source to meet them in their more emotionally shut down state, and then we became stuck trying to change something that we were not meant to change. The child in us might have reasoned that, if we could heal our parents, then they would have a greater capacity to love us and our families would feel more whole and more reflective of how we all feel in heaven; but there is a flaw in this form of child logic.
We heal the family by first healing ourselves, and we heal ourselves by first accepting everyone exactly as they are. We accept that no matter how unconditional our love was for our parents when we were little, it was not our job to heal them and so we cannot blame ourselves for failing to heal them. Most people are walking around in a maze of parental projections, projecting the unresolved feelings of childhood onto their partners, their bosses, their children, their finances, and even onto GOD. Finding your way out of this maze is part of the path to enlightenment.
My standards for what healing my family looked like were very high as a child, and it was not until I let go of this more as an adult that my angels were able to come in and explain to the child in me that, actually, I did bring some healing into the family, just not as much as I would have liked. I was not even able to hear that message before, because I held myself to a different standard, and for a long time I felt unresolved about failing to do something that was not really mine to do. Each person has to take responsibility for healing themselves, and then the role of each person in the drama can have the maximum impact.
The same goes with the Violet Flame. Like I said, it is a dispensation. We need to put forth some effort to heal ourselves by becoming more unconditional, making an effort to change. This is what warrants such a healing dispensation. When we have changed a certain percentage of a pattern, the rest can be gracefully burned up and transmuted. That is part of how the Violet Flame works.
Invoke it to help you see what needs to be healed. Then focus on it as a source of healing energy that is helping you to change your resonance and release into it that which does not serve you any longer. If you are not sure how to work with it, ask Saint Germain. Knowing his name is as good as having his cell phone number. He is always available to focus on you in a loving way to help you see the higher potential of your situation.
Most of the healing sessions I have done with people were done with the Violet Flame without me even asking for it or invoking it. Saint Germain just showed up with the Violet Flame and everything just flowed from there. So don’t think that you have to constantly invoke the Violet Flame to get it to come to you. This reinforces the idea that you are separate from it and that the Masters are not aware of what you need.
Working with the Violet Flame has more to do with making yourself available to something that is constantly there, wanting to flood in at every moment of opportunity created by your willingness to learn and grow and heal.
Two key points on working with the Violet Flame:
1) If you are going to work with the Violet Flame in meditation, make your focus Saint Germain. Invite Saint Germain into your meditation to work with you and focus on celebrating the gift of the Violet Flame healing energy for humanity. Don’t invoke Saint Germain like you are summoning something that is separate from you. Invite Saint Germain to your meditation like you would invite your best friend over for tea.
The energy of celebration is key because it connects with the higher vibrations of the emotional body that are aligned with healing energy. Focus on celebrating that there is this beautiful healing energy available and hold an intention to be dressed in it. Just as you put on your clothes in the morning, imagine putting on the Violet Flame like a meditation robe that links you with the energy of Saint Germain’s ashram on the inner plane.
The key is to hold an openness to receiving Saint Germain’s teachings, aid and support, to align you with the healing opportunities that will come to you through working with the Violet Flame. Saint Germain will help you to receive more of what the Violet Flame has to offer, but be prepared to receive instruction. When you show up in the inner plane ashrams of the Masters, ready to learn, they will take notice and come to instruct you. All you need to do is hold the intention of being willing to learn from them, and your spiritual form will appear within the ashrams on the inner plane.
2) There is actually a global dispensation from the Violet Flame taking place. The world is being bathed in this energy, and it is literally the energy of the new paradigm. Perhaps one of the best ways to align yourself with this energy is to become more of a conduit for others. The more you include others in your prayers, the more you will align yourself with heavenly aid. If you are just praying for your own healing, it is not as powerful a calling as when you pray for the healing of your family, or love ones, or the people in the area where you live.
Intend for more of this healing energy to reach everyone that you are connected to, and imagine sending it to others. This is a great way to work with the Violet Flame. Wherever you are, imagine that you were sent there to be an anchor for the Violet Flame and practice holding an intention for this energy to ground more fully and deeply through the whole surrounding area. Visualize your neighborhood being bathed in the Violet Flame.
Working with the Violet Flame is not a process of just using it as you would imagine it being used. It is about learning how the Violet Flame wants to work with you. Cultivating a relationship with Saint Germain is a great way to move into this. He is the steward of the Violet Flame, and one of the primary teachers for the new age.
Visualizing it in your meditations can help the conscious mind begin to accept the presence of this energy, but the deeper connection comes through aligning your intentions with that of the Master. Choose to become a student of the Violet Flame and the keys to how to work with it will come to you through your training.
The Violet Flame is helping to transmute the energy of the old paradigm to make room for the new paradigm. It follows that the same is true of the way your divine self is imprinting into your physical form. There are older versions of you that need to be repatterned until you are more aligned with what is coming in. The Violet Flame can bridge the old consciousness with the new that is coming in so that the transition is more graceful.
There is no one perfect method for “working with” the Violet Flame, but what we can always do is ask Saint Germain: what do we need to do next to repattern ourselves? As long as we are doing what is ours to do and not ignoring or avoiding any of life’s lessons, we will afford ourselves the maximum benefits of the Violet Flame and all of the healing dispensations of the Masters. Our efforts to self-improve will never go unnoticed.
It is also worth mentioning that you cannot just invoke the Violet Flame to “burn up” emotions that you are repressing. Often when we feel stuck energy in our mental or emotional body, it is due to repressed energy. In this case, working with the Violet Flame can help you to become aware of what is being repressed and why, so that it can be honored, processed, and released. Trying to get the Masters to help you “get rid” of something or some part of you that needs to be felt and integrated with will only reinforce the separation inside of you that needs to be healed.

Someone just asked me about stream of consciousness writing and I thought I would post the answer here. The question came about because this person expressed that they were having difficulty hearing the voices of their guides and I suggested not to get too hung up on trying to access guidance in this way.
I am clairaudient, though I did have to practice meditation and do psychologically clearing work to open and develop this ability. For those who have not had much experience with this ability (being able to hear psychically) people often have expectations of what this kind of “hearing” is like. Sometimes your expectations can get in the way of achieving a trance state, but fortunately, a trance state is not necessary for you to receive guidance.
I actually started the development of my channeling process more through writing, and it is a great place for anyone to start if you have not yet gotten a handle on achieving a trance state.
I recommend to everyone who wants to get to know their guides and how to channel them to buy a special notebook that represents the channeling space you are developing. The notebook becomes like a designated meeting space between your mind and the mind of your guides. It is a good idea to dedicate the notebook by writing something on the first page, like a statement of intentions about your desire to get to know your guides, or to find answers to life’s questions.
I can tell you that there were many times when I started writing “Dear Angels” and in the process of writing out my questions, concerns, dreams and wishes, somehow the letter ended up addressing the issues in ways that revealed that it was not just me writing. The guides were jumping into my stream of consciousness and imparting their commentary, and my mind just picked it up because the very act of writing in my special notebook represented a state of intimate contact with the guides.
I imagined that the notebook appeared in their reality, like they were reading the words I was writing as they appeared before them, or perhaps it is easier to imagine that they are just looking over your shoulder.
I remember once I wrote the name “Sananda” in big letters across the top of a page before writing a letter to Sananda, and at the bottom, I asked “Who is guiding me now?”; and then my eyes drifted to the top of the page and I saw how big I had been guided to write the letters of Sananda’s name. Sananda had done this with me, so that I had together we had answered the question that he knew I was going to ask at the bottom of the page.
Stream of consciousness writing is simply writing without the normal filters of needing it to make sense or knowing where it is going to go. You might start with an intention to connect with your guides, but you just let your mind go and start to write. I suggest looking within for a writing prompt. A writing prompt is a suggestion about what to write about. These are often used to generate writing exercises in education. In this case, your guides will give you the prompt and then off you go.
Start with the first subject that comes up in your mind and start writing out it. It could be totally fictional, or it could be processing about a memory or something that is up in your life presently. I often felt guided to draw little pictures, and later I found them to be highly symbolic. The consciousness of my guides would reflect in the images, giving me an attunement to how they think about their relationship to me and the journey I am on.
I filled many notebooks with letters to my guides and eventually I started channeling little paragraphs here and there in writing. These would happen spontaneously, and gradually the process underwent a shift.
This is a great way to develop your channel. Always have the notebook handy incase you get something that is meant to go in it. Record your dreams. Record wisdom quotes you come across that resonate with you. Write about the synchronicities of your life.
When you channel a piece of writing spontaneously for your notebook, it might feel like a breakthrough. Designating a notebook as a part of your channeling space solves some of the initial challenges people face when learning to channel through meditation and via trance state. Your filters are down. Your guides can just contact you when they see the opportunity, not when you are pressuring yourself to make the connection.
Your guides might notice you daydreaming, and your brainwaves get into a good alpha state; so they blast a message through and suddenly you feel the spark to write down some inspiring idea. Or, your guides might send you a sign in the physical world, or direct your attention to something that symbolically reflects a key they want to impart, and suddenly you feel the impulse to write about the synchronicity.
Before you know it, you are writing full-on channeled messages without even being in a trance state. You are writing in a state of inspiration, which is actually how most of the channeled material I produce comes through. Only so much of what I channel comes through in a trance state. There are many ways to channel, so there is no reason to expect that you have to do it the way some others do.
Look for the feeling of inspiration, because that is where your guide will go to meet with you. In the beginning, stream of consciousness writing might be what helps to open the doorway for more your guides to enter your creative process and interact with it, but as your channeling develops, stream of consciousness writing will be the result of the connections you are making with your guides. You will learn to control the process, hone it, and use it as a way to cocreate with your guides. There are no limits.
And if you are having trouble getting a flow of words going, just start with channeling one. Ask your guides to give you a “word of the day”. You don’t even have to expect you will get what the word is in the moment you ask. Whatever it is, it will pop up during the day and you will know what word your guides are focused on. They will accentuate the presence of this one word, and many meanings will dance around it.
Even discerning a single key word from your guides can become a writing prompt that produces streams of though. And remember, your guides love you and love to cocreate with you. They will enjoy all of your efforts, taking whatever you bring to the table and working with it. All you need is patience, and your channeling will grow and develop into what your soul intends for it to be.

In one of my channelings this last year with my partner Susan, I heard the Masters referring to us as Examples, and they talked about “the Examples”, meaning those of us on the planet who had come to live the teachings of the Masters.
The fact that they referred to a whole global group of people as “the Examples” really struck me because it emphasized the very essence of what GOD intends for us to be.
More than anything, humanity needs good examples of how to be. We need to see mastery being demonstrated in many ways and many forms. The deepening of this realization made me even more focused on self examination of my example in every moment, and more dedicated to being the best example I could be. (more…)

Lately I have heard a number of people talk about feeling disconnected from Spirit for long periods of time and, a reader just asked about how to connect to GOD from within. Many of us have experienced periods of grace when we felt more connected to the heavens and yet these times do not seem to last. All of this brings to mind a number of my own trials that have borne some wisdom about this subject that I can relate here.
First of all, none of us have ever been truly disconnected from GOD. The GOD connection sources us whether we know it or not. What makes it challenging to perceive this GOD connection is that we have been living on a world where the light was turned down so that our species could, as requested, experience overly identifying with the field of matter, and with our bodies. Countless worlds have ascended from a denser vibration to a lighter one, but humanity decided to approach ascension from the densest vibration possible, and from a state of almost complete amnesia. Pretty radical idea if you ask me, but also likely to create transformation of a scale never before realized. (more…)
