THE THREEFOLD FLAME OF THE HEART

The central and most important organ of your body is your heart. Likewise, the central and most important chakra is the heart chakra. It also contains the threefold flame.

The threefold flame is the blossoming of light within your heart, anchored there through the descent of the crystal cord. It is not really a flame like a candle, but we can think of it more in terms of the flame that "burned the bush and consumed it not" (Exod. 3:2). (See Chart of Your Real Self.) The crystal cord is the thread of light which descends from your "I AM Presence," another name for your God Self.

Why is the flame in your heart called 'threefold'? Because it embodies the three God-qualities of Power, Wisdom, and Love, also personified in the Trinity.

Ideally, these are kept in balance. But few have the mastery to do this. Instead, people fill their hearts with hatred, fear, and malice, which on the spiritual level resemble lead or asphalt. (Heart disease, though on the decline, remains the biggest killer in the country. Small wonder.)

One of the most important parts of keeping fit is cleaning up and balancing the heart chakra. Just as the brain and organs depend on blood flow, so all other chakras depend on energy flow from the heart. Thus, when the heart is clogged through selfishness and possessiveness which blocks this flow, all of the chakras suffer.

Secondly, after the threefold flame is balanced, it must then be expanded. Before the proverbial Fall of Man, the threefold flame surrounded the body completely and reached an approximate height of from five to seven feet.

At that time, the crystal cord was over nine feet in diameter, channeling tremendous amounts of divine energy into the heart chakra of man. This increased his longevity-hence the extraordinarily long lifespans of such antediluvian figures as Methuselah and Noah-and enabled him to perform what would now be considered as superhuman feats.

Finally, the heart chakra must be protected. It is extremely sensitive to all types of vibrations, both good and bad. This sensitivity must be guarded.

Negative frequencies impinging upon the heart can cause heart attacks. Most dangerous are hatred, mental criticism, hardness of heart, envy, and even the death wish, which amounts to witchcraft. By failing to groom their thoughts and feelings with love, people actually engage in a mental and emotional malpractice against one another on a day-to-day basis.

Light Mantras for the Heart

Saint Germain, the master who is the keystone of the arch of the Aquarian age, has given us a mantra for the cleansing of our chakras.This mantra can be used in conjunction with all of the other mantras contained in this article
.
It is very simple and easy to remember and can be given out loud or "under your breath" at any time when things aren't going well or you feel a heaviness in your body or a burden on your heart.

I AM a being of violet fire,
I AM the purity God desires!

Similar in quality to the threefold flame in the heart, the violet fire, or violet flame, is specifically for the transmutation of negative karma, records of' nonfulfillment in this or past lives, or negativity in any form.

It is the flame of freedom and of the Holy Spirit which forgives sin by dissolving its cause, effect, record, and memory. It is the God-energy that frees the atoms, cells. and electrons in your four lower bodies to sing the song of their fiery destiny. And it will liberate all who use it --mentaly, psychologically, and spiritually.

Saint Germain's mantra for the Aquarian age can be adapted for use with all chakras as follows:

My heart is a chakra. of violet fire, My heart is the purity God desires!
My throat chakra is a wheel of violet fire, My throat chakra is the purity God desires!
My solar plexus is a sun of violet fire, My solar plexus is the purity God desires!
My third eye is a center of violet fire, My third eye is the purity God desires!
My soul chakra is a sphere of violet fire,
My soul is the purity God desires!
My crown chakra is a lotus of violet fire,
My crown chakra is the purity God desires!
My base chakra is a fount of violet fire,
My base chakra is the purity God desires!

Simply give the mantra corresponding to the specific chakra you feel needs cleansing, and give it until you feel a release from your tension, anxiety. or whatever problem you may have. Try it! It works.

For the purposes of visualization, the heart chakra. when at its optimum, emits a white fire clothed with shades of pink, rose, and ruby depending on the intensity and purity of the love expressed.

This rose of the heart has twelve petals. It is visualized over the place of the physical heart, although in the perfected state, it and its physical counterpart would be in the center of torso.

See the threefold flame within it, with its three plumes of Power, Wisdom, and Love as flames of blue, gold and pink respectively. As an added protection against world weight, you can see in your mind’s eye a spinning disc of white light in front of the heart. For a real clearing action, give the "I AM Light mantra.

When you say the mantra (or any mantra) aloud, you are setting up a forcefield of light around your heart. This forcefield will keep away the 'bad vibes' and other assorted negative energies that tend, at times, to make things go wrong.

This is one of many practical applications of' the science of the spoken Word. Through the correct use of the throat chakra in decrees such as this one, we become effectively co-creators with our Higher Consciousness. As spoken of in the Book of Job, "The Almighty shall be thv defense .... Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee. Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thv ways- (Job 22:25, 27, 28).

"I AM" is the name of God as spoken to Moses: "Tell them, 'I AM' hath sent me unto you. This is my name for ever (Fxod. 3:14, 15). Therefore, when we affirm "I AM, we are affirming "God in me is" or "God in me is the action of. . . " Whatever follows--whether it be speech, prayer, mantra, or decree-it is self-realized because it is the power of God's name and his Be-ness that works crative change in our lives.

I AM Light

I AM light, glowing light,
Radiating light, intensified light,
God consumes my darkness,
Transmuting it into light.

This day I AM a focus of the Central Sun.
Flowing through me is a crystal river,
A living fountain of light
That can never be qualified
By human thought and feeling.
I AM an outpost of the Divine.

Such darkness as has used me is swallowed up
By the mighty river of light which I AM.
Flooding the world everywhere I move,
Blessing. strengthening, and conveying
The purpose of the kingdom of heaven.

By meditating on the white fire surrounding the threefold flame in the secret chamber of your heart and giving the "I AM Light" mantra for the protection of the heart chakra, you are really benefiting all of your chakras.

As you know, oxygenated blood from the lungs must first pass through the heart before it can nourish the rest of the body. Similarly, the light from your I AM Presence must also pass through the heart. Whatever the heart contains is then carried to all the other chakras.

Saint Germain has also given us the following "Light of the Heart" mantra to carry the Iight of the heart to all of the chakras. Give it with Joy, love, and immense gratitude for the gift of life.

I AM the light of the heart
Shining in the darkness of being
And changing all into the golden treasury
Of the mind of Christ.

I AM projecting my love
Out into the world
To erse all errors
And to break down all barriers.

I AM the power of infinite Love,
Amplifying Itself Until It is victorious,
World without end!

Indeed, the energy of the Life Source is the only real 'fountain of youth' in existence. (Ironically, Ponce de Leon and countless others have spent a major portion of their lives chasing that flaming youth which was really in their heart.)

As a result of the misuse of this energy, the crystal cord is today a mere thread and the threefold flame measures an average height of one sixteenth of an inch. If we are ever to regain our former power and vitality, we must prove ourselves the master over what we now have.

Vitality and Prana

As for vitality, it is the endless pursuit of this elusive quality which drives many fitness devotees to their efforts. The reason exercise is vitalizing in the first place is that it causes the increased intake of prana.

Prana is Sanskrit for "breath," but it is much more. Prana is life energy. It comes from God through many channels. The most reliable source of prana is clean air near moving water, charged with sunlight.

It can be postulated that the amount of prana in the air is a direct function of the concentration of negatively charged ions. (A negatively charged ion is an air molecule that is carrying an extra electron. Similarly, a positively charged ion has been stripped of an electron.)

I would not go so far as to say that prana is negatively charged ions, but let's just say that when the concentration of negative ions is naturally high, you can be reasonably sure there is some prana around.

Many studies have proven that the ion concentration in the air has a profound effect on the body. In working environments in the cities, positive ions which are detrimental to health are generated in quantity by central air-conditioning systems, pollution, and automobiles.

On the other hand, rain and lightning storms generate negative ions which benefit the body. The ocean, rivers, streams, and all types of vegetation also contribute to the negative ionization of' the air.

When you run along the beach on a clear day, you are doing far more to revitalize your physical temple than if you were to jog for twice the time through the back streets of L.A. Once you take into consideration environmental factors, the where and when becomes as important as the how did for how long.

Since most of us do live in the city, it's important to find the time to go elsewhere-into nature, to clear out our physical bodies of pollution and processed food, cleanse our chakras through fasting, meditation, and mantras, and bring the other three bodies into alignment.

The intake of prana is extremely beneficial, as its effect is not limited to the physical. It passes to the three other bodies through channels called nadis and vitalizes your entire being.
