Soul/pt

Deus é um Espírito e a alma é o potencial vivo de Deus. O requisito da alma pelo livre-arbítrio e o fato de se ter separado de Deus resultaram na descida desse potencial para o estado inferior da carne. Semeada na desonra, a alma está destinada a elevar-se em honra até à plenitude do estado divino, que é o Espírito de toda a Vida. A alma pode perder-se, o Espírito nunca morrerá.

A alma permanece como um potencial caído que deve ser imbuído com a realidade do Espírito, purificado por meio da prece e da súplica, e que retornará à glória da qual desceu e à unidade do Todo. Esta reunião da alma com o Espírito é o casamento alquímico que determina o destino do ser e o torna um só com a Verdade imortal. Quando esse ritual acontece, o Eu Superior é entronizado como o Senhor da Vida e o potencial de Deus, realizado no homem, é encontrado no Tudo-em-Todos.

The origin of the soul

O Mestre Morya descreve a origem da alma:

Vejamos ... que porção do Ser Infinito foi realizada no campo de força imediato daquilo a que chamais vós mesmos. A semente desse ser, é claro, teve que vir do Grande Eu Divino, pois não há outra fonte de onde possa vir. Percorrendo as esferas da grande Mônada da Vida, a semente da autoconsciência reúne novelos de luz - fio por fio, enrolada e tecida, tecida e enrolada sobre o ponto da consciência, construindo um campo de energia. E a semente se torna uma alma nascida do espírito da própria união da vida com o Espírito. E a alma é um sol em miniatura que gira em torno do sol central do Ser Universal...

A esfera do ser de Deus é um átomo rodopiando que é chamado de Alfa-para-Ômega. Do redemoinho da polaridade do EU SOU O QUE EU SOU, nasce a semente da alma. E à medida que se move pelos ciclos da Mônada, forma uma nova polaridade com o centro. E o elétron da individualidade, uma nova individualidade, nasce...

À medida que Deus se multiplicava repetidamente na Presença do EU SOU (a centelha individualizada do ser), as sementes que se tornaram almas - as almas que foram expulsas dos planos do Espírito - se tornaram almas vivas nos planos da Matéria. ... as almas emergentes juntaram novelos da Matéria para formar os veículos da individualidade no tempo e no espaço - a mente, a memória, as emoções amarradas à forma física. Assim velada em carne e sangue, a alma estava equipada para navegar no tempo e no espaço

The seat-of-the-soul chakra

A morada da alma é o chakra da alma. Esse chakra está localizado no ponto médio entre o chakra da base e o chakra do plexo solar, localizado no umbigo. A alma é chamada por Deus para subir a escada em espiral desde o chakra da alma até a câmara secreta do coração, onde ela encontra seu amado Santo Cristo Pessoal.

The seat-of-the-soul chakra is the place of the soul’s self-knowledge in the Real Self and the not-self. Here is self-conscious awareness of the integral soul-personality having partial integration in God and partial integration with the not-self. Both conditions are the result of choices the soul has made over many lifetimes.

Those who have studied the martial arts know that the seat-of-the-soul chakra is the body’s point of equilibrium; it is the center of chi, inner energy or life-force essential to the maintenance of life. It is taught that from this center of gravity, or life center, chi is distributed to the rest of the body. This is true insofar as the physical energy is concerned, for in soul-awareness the psyche does freely focus and circulate this energy. However, the heart is the ultimate center and distribution point of the sacred fire that descends from the I AM Presence (the Father) over the crystal cord and ascends from the base-of-the-spine chakra of the Mother.

From within the seat-of-the-soul chakra, the center of equilibrium, the soul knows with an inner intuitive knowing what the outer mind cannot or will not come to grips with, what the emotions block for fear of the encounter with the karmic realities at hand. The soul knows what is coming upon the earth. The soul knows the past, present and future. The soul knows all things independently of our mental indoctrination and our emotional programming in this life. Unfortunately, the conscious mind’s contact with the soul which it has at birth decreases with the development of the mental and emotional bodies; however, consistent daily application of the violet flame transmutes the barriers between the conscious and subconscious, the outer awareness of the mind and the inner awareness of the soul.

The goal of the soul

The goal of the soul in this embodiment is to rise from its seat in the seventh ray chakra to the level of the solar plexus; here she must deal with her momentums of desire and learn the control of the emotions and the emotional body while dealing with past karmic records. With Mother Mary as her example she must put the moon and her astrology beneath her feet. The path of initiation under one or more of the Ascended Masters wherein she invokes the violet flame to transmute past records and calls to Archangel Michael as her protector is the highest, the safest, and the most expedient road (yoga) leading to reunion with God.

Having passed the required tests at the station of the solar plexus, the soul may proceed to her schooling in the heart chakra. Here the lessons to be learned are mercy and compassion; here transmutation of hardness of heart and of what the Buddha calls the unmerciful heart must be accomplished with signs and good works following in service to life. When she is ready the soul may receive the testing of the Inner Buddha and the Inner Christ in the Eighth Ray chakra, the antechamber of the twelve-petaled heart chakra, where the threefold flame burns on the altar and the Inner Buddha is Guru and the Inner Christ is High Priest.

Only when the soul has passed her initiations again and again in the stations of the chakras from the base of the spine to the heart may she proceed to true self-mastery in the throat, third eye, and crown. The chakras below the heart are surrounded by the “electronic belt,” the repository of our karma of all previous lifetimes. And the soul is centered in the records of that karma, to a large degree a product of it, having been a party to the making of it.

And so the age of Aquarius opens the long-awaited age of opportunity for the soul to attain liberation from her karma and the consequent wheel of rebirth. The means of her liberation is the sacred fire, specifically the seventh ray aspect of the Holy Spirit, which is the violet flame.

The violet flame is the key to the transmutation of imbalance in the soul, the chakras, and the four lower bodies. By its penetrating action the soul may contact the subconscious repository of the records and karma of past lives as well as the core antithesis of the Real Self lodged in the unconscious. The transmutation of these records and negative karma is essential to the soul’s liberation; it is accomplished through the agency of the violet flame when it is invoked from God through dynamic decrees according to the science of the spoken Word.

Finally, when transmutation is complete the violet flame restores the balance of yang and yin forces, the polarity of Alpha (the masculine, or plus, factor of the Deity) and Omega (the feminine, or minus, factor of the Deity) throughout one’s entire consciousness, being, and world. This achievement is the prelude to the ascension and the goal toward which Saint Germain’s Keepers of the Flame are striving daily.

A criança interior

► Artígo principal: Criança interior

Os mestres ascensos se referiram à alma como a criança que vive dentro de nós. Os psicólogos apelidaram a alma de "a criança interior". A alma por qualquer outro nome ainda é a alma. E nós somos seus pais e professores, assim como somos seus alunos.
