For centuries, alchemists have sought to change base metals into gold. But the transmutation of metals like lead into gold is symbolic of a higher and more noble alchemy - the alchemy of self-transformation.
SELF-TRANSFORMATION was the goal of the most spiritual of alchemists. They sought a way to change the lead of negative human energy into the gold of divine energy, and some of them achieved this by using the violet flame. But first, let's explore what the violet flame is, what it does and how it works.
The violet flame is the ideal tool to help you in your physical, emotional and spiritual life. It is a unique spiritual energy that can heal emotional and physical problems, improve your relationships, help you to grow spiritually, or just make life easier.
You may see, feel and even hear the violet flame when it is invoked correctly. The violet flame is invoked through "decrees", which are based on the teachings of the Ascended Masters. Decrees are spoken rhythmic prayers which utilize meditation and visualization. They call forth a powerful spiritual energy to help remove obstacles on the spiritual path such as fear, anger or pride.
The Ascended Masters are the saints "clothed with white robes" who stand before the throne of God in Revelation 7. They are enlightened spiritual beings who once walked the earth as men and women. They balanced their karma (paid their debts to life) and fulfilled their reason for being. They then ascended, or reunited with God. One with God, they are all-powerful and all-knowing, guiding and teaching us from spiritual realms.
The name of the Ascended Master who brings the gift of the violet flame is Saint Germain. Saint Germain attained his ascension in 1684. He was embodied as the prophet Samuel, Saint Joseph, protector of Jesus, Saint Alban, Merlin, Roger Bacon, Christopher Columbus, and Francis Bacon. He works tirelessly to bring freedom and enlightenment to mankind, and it is from his ascended state that he brings the ultimate gift of freedom - the violet flame.
The violet flame is the essence of a unique spiritual light. Behind the scenes of the visible light spectrum, mystics of all ages have glimpsed a "spiritual spectrum". This spectrum emanates from a brilliant "inner" divine light. Just as a ray of sunlight refracts into seven colors when it passes through a prism, so divine light is split into seven colors, or "rays" - each of which has specific divine qualities. The violet flame comes forth from the violet ray - a ray of mercy, forgiveness, freedom, justice and transmutation.
Saint Germain serves on the Seventh Ray. Also known as the "Lord of the Seventh Ray", he is the "seventh angel" prophesied in Revelation 10:7 who has come forth to finish the "mystery of God". The violet flame is one of those mysteries that has been known to mystics throughout the ages. Saints and adepts have long used the violet flame to further their spiritual development. Knowledge of the violet flame was revealed only to a privileged few - initiates in secret societies and "mystery schools" who had proven themselves worthy - up until earlier this century, when Saint Germain introduced it at large.
Today, many people believe that the earth is coming to a serious turning point in its evolution. On the physical level, numerous prophecies point to serious earth changes in the next few years. Already, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, fires and unusual weather patterns are becoming more and more frequent on a global scale. But these earth changes are the "birth pangs" of something more profound.
On the spiritual level, many see it as a time of opportunity for mankind to enter into a higher and more divine level of evolution. This shift in consciousness heralds a new age, known commonly as the Aquarian age. This age has been prophesied for over 2000 years as a golden age of peace, freedom and enlightenment. The Master of the Aquarian age is Saint Germain, and his gift to earth for facilitating earth's transition into the Aquarian age is the violet flame.
What the Violet Flame Does
Ever wish there was a way you could wipe out your past mistakes?
While you can't go back in time, the violet flame has the power to erase, or transmute the cause, the effect, and even the memory of our past mistakes. Transmutation means to change - to alter in form, appearance or nature. The violet flame changes negative into positive, darkness into light, "fate" into opportunity. The flame also erases the resultant "bad karma" of our mistakes.
The Apostle Paul said: "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." This is the law of karma - the law of cause and effect. This impersonal cosmic law decrees that whatever we do comes full circle to our doorstep for resolution; simply, what goes around comes around.
Our past actions - both good and bad - do come back to us. By our good deeds we incur positive, or good karma, and by our not-so-good deeds we incur negative, or bad karma. Karma is the energy we have invested in life, and returns to us as our teacher. Our good karma brings us happiness, joy and prosperity. Our bad karma returns to us as a boomerang and may cause challenges and problems, whether physical, emotional or financial, or any other type of hardship that life may place on our path.
The violet flame is able to transmute or mitigate our negative karma before it comes back to us. It is the fulfilment of God's promise in Hebrews 8:12 that "I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more." God's gift of the violet flame is merciful because it erases the karma that is the penalty for our sins and iniquities. In general, most people must pay their debt to life, or "balance" their karma, by selflessly reaching out and helping others, by working through misfortunes that come their way, or by passing through diseases or other forms of personal suffering. But it need not be so with the violet flame!
On the physical level, the violet flame can help heal our bodies by removing the karma that makes us vulnerable to illness and disease. It also flushes out the body and aura (the energy field that surrounds your physical body), removing anything from toxins and chemicals, to physical viruses, to drugs and pollution. But today, we are discovering more and more how the cause of disease is often rooted in our mental, emotional and spiritual states.
Our thoughts and emotions may affect our health. Research has shown that hatred and other negative thoughts and feelings actually create excess amounts of acid in the body that it cannot assimilate. These negative thoughts and feelings often originate in emotional and psychological problems, which the violet flame can help to resolve. The flame can help heal the cause of many psychological problems - emotionally distressing experiences which can go back to early childhood and even past lifetimes. The scars of old hurts and painful memories may be healed and dissolved when the healing balm of the violet flame is applied. The violet flame has the unique ability to transform fear into courage, anxiety into peace and hatred into love.
How the Violet Flame Works
The violet flame works by changing "vibrations". In physics, vibration is the speed of oscillation - the speed at which something moves back and forth. On the atomic level, vibration can be understood to be the speed at which electrons orbit around the nucleus of the atom. The violet flame works by changing vibrations on this level.
Atoms are mostly empty space. The empty space between the nucleus and the electrons is where negative energy and karma can become stuck. When the atoms in our bodies and auras become clogged with this negativity, the electrons whirl slower and slower, and we begin to resonate more with negativity, and less with light - we have a lower vibration, and become less spiritual. The violet flame dissolves this negative energy. The violet flame's very purpose is to transmute negative energy into positive energy. It does not simply surround and remove the energy, but transforms it into light. Because there is less density within the atom, the electrons whirl faster and faster, thereby raising your vibration.
When you have a higher vibration, there is more spiritual energy in your body. Acupuncturists and yogis know that optimum health comes when this spiritual energy flows freely throughout the body. The violet flame frees up this energy and reestablishes harmony and equilibrium, propelling you into a more spiritual state of being.
The Alchemist's Dream
The violet flame is a tool of self-transformation. Physical experiments in alchemy whereby base metals are transformed into gold are symbolic of what the violet flame does.
In medieval times, alchemists attempted to transmute base metals into gold, using heat to separate the "subtle" from the "gross". While there have always been alchemists who sought to create wealth by transmuting base metals, this process of transmutation is symbolic of a higher and more noble alchemy - the alchemy of self-transformation.
Alchemists of the Spirit did not seek physical wealth, but spiritual wealth. They sought to transform themselves into more spiritual beings, by becoming more loving, wise and compassionate. The violet flame has the capacity to bring about this mystical transformation by alchemically transmuting negative elements within ourselves. This is why knowledge of the violet flame has been so prized throughout the centuries.
Alchemists of all ages have sought the mystical philosophers' stone. Early alchemists pored over minutely ciphered texts in search of this stone. For them, it was worth a lifetime to decode the mystery of this "stone" which symbolised the transmutation of the lower animal nature into the highest and divine. The coveted philosophers' stone - "the stone which is no stone" - was not physical, but spiritual, and created out of fire.
Some alchemists did discover the secret of the violet flame. According to Neoplatonist predecessors of medieval alchemy, the philosophers' stone was a self-transforming fire that would lead their souls upward, by drawing up to the Spirit all qualities which dragged downward and opposed the spiritual essences. In the process, the "hard and refractory materials" in their bodies would be transmuted into a rare and more luminous material. In this sacred experiment, they said the alchemist would become "like the gods", pursuing what one seventeenth-century text called "the gold of the wise and not the vulgar metal".
Transmutation, then, was not just a process which turned base metals into gold, but a spiritual process which raised the soul into a state of unity with the Divine. The violet flame produces the highest alchemy, because it transmutes the base metal of the human consciousness into the gold of the Christ consciousness.
How to Use the Violet Flame
The violet flame is practical and easy to use.
Find a place where you won't be disturbed, and sit comfortably in a straight chair, with your spine and head erect, legs and arms uncrossed and feet flat on the floor. Rest your hands on your upper legs, with palms facing upwards. Be open-minded, honest and willing to experiment. Decrees given with faith and sincerity will invoke the violet flame more effectively. First, ask your Higher Self in a fervent prayer to help you invoke the violet flame, and to show you the value of the violet flame in your life.
One of the simplest decrees to the violet flame is: "I AM a being of violet fire! I AM the purity God desires!" "I AM" is an affirmation of your true self. It refers to the name of God, I AM THAT I AM. "I AM" is a formula that unlocks the authority to create in God's name when it is given in love. Jesus used it when he affirmed "I AM the resurrection and the life." Every time you say "I AM . . .", you are really saying "God in me is . . ." and thus drawing to yourself whatever follows.
Take a few, slow deep breaths, and speak the decree aloud, slowly and deliberately. Concentrate on the natural rhythm of the decree. Repeating the decree strengthens its power and draws down more light. Give the decree three or nine times to begin with. This can be gradually be increased to 36, 72 or even 144 repetitions. In the East, mantras are often repeated thousands of times a day. If you feel the need, you can gradually begin to increase both its speed and pitch, but speed is not essential, and the decree should almost speed itself up.
Center in your heart and give the decree with love, devotion and feeling. It is the quality of heart that matters, and the more you put into the decree, the more violet flame you will invoke. The fervent desire to heal yourself, loved ones, the suffering of mankind and our planet will evoke the mightiest response from God.
Once you have memorized the decree, you can close your eyes while giving it and concentrate on visualizing the violet flame. Visualization is essential to successful invocation of the violet flame. When you decree, you are actually creating by using God's energy within you. You cannot create what you cannot visualize, just as an artist cannot paint a picture he cannot see.
See yourself before a large bonfire, about nine feet high and six feet wide. Color it violet in your imagination, and see the flames pulsating and undulating in endless shades of violet with gradations of purple and pink. Then see yourself stepping into the flame, so the violet flame is where you physically are. See your body as transparent, with the flames curling up from beneath your feet, passing through and around your body, clear up over your head.
As you invoke the violet flame, you can notice how it imparts a feeling of vibrancy and vitality. To those who have developed their spiritual sight, the violet flame appears as an actual, physical violet fire. You may also be able to "see" the violet flame at work with your inner eye, by concentrating on the spiritual center between your eyebrows.
Experiment with the decree and use your imagination. You can visualize a large vat of liquid violet flame detergent, in which you immerse yourself for cleansing. A good visualization for healing is to see yourself in a large whirling sphere of violet light. See the sphere whirling, just like a tilt-a-whirl at a show, faster and faster as you gradually increase the speed of the decree. Then see smaller violet-flame spheres over each of your body organs, removing any negativity that may be the basis of disease and transmuting it instantly. Then see your organs being perfected by the violet flame.
You can also use the violet flame to help family and friends. You can visualize them, someone you need to forgive, or even an entire city, nation or planet within a brilliant sphere of the violet flame. Change the decree to match the visualization, for example: "Earth is a planet of violet fire! Earth is the purity God desires!" The violet flame can also help others in need that you might not be aware of. After you have finished decreeing, you can ask: "In the name of the Christ within me, I ask that this violet flame to be multiplied and used to assist all souls on this planet who are in need. I thank you and accept it done according to the will of God."
Even a few minutes of violet flame will produce results, but persistence is needed to penetrate age-old bad habits. It is best to allow for at least five to fifteen minutes of violet flame in the morning, and you can add the violet flame to whatever prayers or meditations you currently practice.
Specific Applications of the Violet Flame
The violet flame has specific uses. It ranges in color from an orchid pink (which has a greater quality of mercy and forgiveness) to a deep purple (which has a greater action of cleansing and protection).
For a greater action of mercy and forgiveness, visualize the violet flame as a gentle orchid pink-violet color, enfolding you and removing from you the memories of things you wish you hadn't done. See these memories being dissolved in the violet flame, and let all associated blame, shame and guilt go into the flame. The violet flame is the fulfilment of God's own law of transmutation in Isaiah 1:18: "Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."
You can use the violet flame to send forgiveness to anyone who has ever harmed you, but you must surrender any negative feelings such as anger, hatred and even mild dislike towards them. The flame will only work to the extent that you gently surrender and let go of negative conditions, however, karma and Divine Providence must be the final arbiter of just what the violet flame can do for you.
The violet flame also assists in repelling the negative thoughts and feelings of others. The purple flame has a greater action of this protection. You can see this flame as an indigo flame, with shades of blue, filling and sealing your aura. It also has a greater purifying action, which can heal and transform your physical body.
What Do Others Think of the Violet Flame?
Here's what people who have used the violet flame say:
"Well, I think a lot clearer. I feel lighter. I'm a lot more sensitive to vibrations. And I feel the movement of light almost physically rather than just at subtle levels."
"My relations with people are lighter and more smooth. I don't have that sense of friction."
"At one time I was heavy on drugs and I knew I'd gone too far. The violet flame has cleared up my memory so that now I can think clearly and creatively."
"I can feel an actual lightness in my step and a peace about things that could make me anxious."
"It gives me emotional control and the ability to be more sensitive to the thoughts of God."
You can use the violet flame and experience the mystical change that alchemists of the Spirit have sought for centuries - healing, transformation and spiritual upliftment. But if you want the violet flame to help you, you have to work with it. Try it for yourself!
