Beloved Zadkiel is the Archangel in charge of the Violet Fire of INVOCATION and TRANSMUTATION. This knowledge enables YOU, to invoke this Sacred Fire into your being and world, so that the imperfect energy which is the CAUSE of distress both now and at some future time, may be TRANSMUTED in a painless way, through the love that is contained within the Violet Flame, instead of having to experience unnecessary pain and suffering. The intelligence within the Violet Transmuting Fire is known as beloved Holy Amethyst. Her first activity, when called into action, is to express gratitude for the OPPORTUNITY of serving life to set it free.
DO NOT FEAR this Violet fire, for it only dissolves and transmutes energy which has been wrongly qualified by thought, feeling, word, or action.
State: I AM a being of violet fire, I AM the Purity God desires! (21x)
Once you have found the Pearl of great sacrifice in the most intimate of places, you have found the hidden treasure. So true is the hidden place of the most high residing in the special place within the secret chamber of the heart. Once you have found the true essence of your divinity which is your Christhood hidden within and residing deep within your heart, you have truly discovered the most intimate, the most divine secret of all eternity.
Saint Symeon knew of this divine sanctuary of the heart as he leads us with his words of true wisdom on today…
“3Once the intellect has accomplished its task of discovering the place where the heart resides, it will immediately see things of which it was previously ignorant and could never have hoped to find.
It will see the open spaces within the heart and will see itself as entirely radiant with light and full of discernment and perception.
When this happens, from whatever source, thoughts might try to stir up again; allow none of them to assume imaginative or syllogistic form within the intellect. Drive every thought away with the invocation of the name of Jesus, saying: “Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me.” The rest you will learn for yourself, with God’s help. But always be sure to keep strict guard over your intellect and retain Jesus in your heart by praying those words:
“Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me.”
—Symeon the New Theologian
As we go about our moments throughout the day, let us stop to contemplate on the magnificence of God. In bringing forth the great God Presence, we can ask Beloved Presence, the great “I AM” to come forth and shine the pink plume of divine love, the blue plume of divine power, protection, and the Will of God, the Violet plume of Gods Mercies and Forgiveness and the yellow plume of divine wisdom and illumination to sweep the atmosphere as I am sealed in this beautiful radiance forever.
We must desire the intelligence of the great “I AM” as we come into the magnificence of the Flame and allow ourselves to focus intimately on the Flame as we come into the Heart of the Flame.
In moments of the stillness of the hour, we must pause and allow ourselves the desires of the heart to flow freely in the stillness you give to it all love as this intimate moment with the self is actualized, you feel it’s tingling sensation of warmth filling all areas of your senses as it increases in intensity, as it moves throughout the body. Stay within It until you feel It has filled all your body with Itself in this now moment, lifting you into this pureness, and wholesomeness to allow for Presence to be always there forever.
Saint Symeon the New Theologian, “1Symeon also spelled Simeon, was born circa 949 in the area of Paphlagonia, in Asia Minor and died on March 12, 1022, in Chrysopolis, near Constantinople), the blessed Symeon was a Byzantine monk and mystic, he was also known as the New Theologian, his works were different than that of two key figures in Greek Christian admiration, St. John the Evangelist and the 4th-century theologian St. Gregory of Nazianzus. Through his spiritual experiences and writings Symeon prepared the way for Hesychast mysticism, a 14th-century Eastern movement in contemplative prayer. Oriented early toward monastic contemplation, Symeon became abbot of the monastery of St. Mamas, near Constantinople, about 980. He was compelled to resign this office in 1009 and retire to Chrysopolis because of his austere monastic policy and a dispute with the Patriarch of Constantinople over methods of spirituality, especially his devotion to his former monk tutor, Symeon the Studite.”
I would like to concentrate on the inner standing of CONTEMPLATIVE PRAYER, a Monastic Contemplation whereby this great Master of Light showered us with his insight in such a manner that needed to be shown during this special time sequence. This was to bring about the change and new perspective of his day.
In the arena of Hesychast Mysticism, we find that it offers us the following knowledge that will transform us if we are wise…
“2Hesychasm, in Eastern Christianity, type of monastic life in which practitioners seek divine quietness (Greek hēsychia) through the contemplation of God in uninterrupted prayer. Such prayer, involving the entire human being—soul, mind, and body—is often called “pure,” or “intellectual,” prayer or the Jesus Prayer. St. John Climacus, one of the greatest writers of the Hesychast tradition, wrote, “Let the remembrance of Jesus be present with each breath, and then you will know the value of the hēsychia.” In the late 13th century, St. Nicephorus the Hesychast produced an even more precise “method of prayer,” advising novices to fix their eyes during prayer on the “middle of the body,” in order to achieve a more total attention, and to “attach the prayer to their breathing.” This practice was violently attacked in the first half of the 14th century by Barlaam the Calabrian, who called the Hesychasts omphalopsychoi, or people having their souls in their navels.” To process this knowing, we must go very deep into our minds and our hearts and ask the Christ Light within us to come forth and do a mighty work in our lives. As we start to go into this transitory state of the unknown, we are guided by our divinity to insulate us with magnificent energies as our Christ Light within us shines, we are so filled with the radiance of the divine. To fill our hearts with contentment to last for hours as we joyfully go on about our day, that solemn essence of divine love feels our hearts with Gods Mercies and his Grace to carry us through the rest of the day.
“Symeon’s mystical theology is a distinct phase of an evolutionary process in Greek spirituality that began in the late 2nd century. Its central theme is the conviction that, by applying the classical methods of mental prayer, one experiences a contemplative “vision of light,” a symbolic term denoting the intuitional illumination that the mystic realizes in his encounter with the Divine Unknown.”
As we take the remembrance of Jesus’ breath of life and pause for a moment in time to reflect on the mercifulness of God’s Heaven, we must be so filled with the delight of inspiration to continue basking in the Sun Presence of our being and joyfully contemplate on the workings of Christ as Symeon the great theologian was able to take this divine tool of ancient wisdom and utilize it to the best of his ability, so to does the essence of creation become very clear to us on Earth to fulfill Gods plan for humanity.
The workings of the sounds chiming within us are creatively spilling from within without to keep us in tune with the ethers and as our bodies are in tune with the frequencies and radiance of life, the mercies of God flows through to spring forth new life, in the nature kingdom, new life in the elemental kingdoms, new life in the animal kingdom, new life in the oceanic kingdom, new life in every human being evolving upon this great construct we call Mother Gaia to fill our days and nights with such grace of the expanse of life is created so too is the expansion of Heaven.
Always remember this solemn prayer, “Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me.”
It quickens us to pay attention, it moves us in ways that are not known to us but the heavenly body of Christ because as Jesus is being called forth to embody the hearts and minds of the people desiring the mercies of God, an overwhelming abundance within us is being livened to stimulate us into action with our divine Christ Light attuning and adjusting our intellect to flood forth from the Heavens all of its effluvia from the great Temples of Light showering the Earth and all life upon the Earth cause you just summoned into action your divine Christhood within you to bring this magnificent onrush of the mercies of God into total alignment this hour.
Peace Be Still,
We ask for the Contemplation of Symeon the Great Theologian to enter our space of divine wisdom and shine forth his radiance upon the planet now. Help us to see the Mercies of God each day as we pay closer attention at Gods creation of the planet, in a more microscopic way, the macrocasm filling our thoughts as we adjust our minds to the details that we need to pay attention to now, God is giving us a window of opportunity to magnetize our Christ Light to work within the very recesses of the space that we are in now, what does that mean specifically to you?
Start to develop a regimen of time dedicated to yourself each day…(15-30mins) of time to contemplate on your own Christ Light within you, just as Symeon has shown us, so can you become so filled with the radiance from your own divinity and shine so bright that others will start to pay attention to your Christ Light and you!
Our take aways for today comes from the Radiance of the Seventh Ray – Saint Germain and his Legions of Light shining forth the Mercies of God to our planet Earth today!
Invocation Prayer & Decree
In the name of my Beloved Mighty ’I AM’ Presence, the great Heavenly Host and Masters from the Seventh Ray tier of Heaven, we come before this great wondrous movement of LIGHT from out of the great Central Sun, we ask on today for all of the Angelic, Nature, Elemental and Animal Kingdoms to assist us in the enveloping Mercies of God. In the name of the Christ that is within me, we consecrate this hour to all souls needing assistance from the Seventh Ray Legions of Light in the transfiguration of the Earth and all Life evolving on the Earth and in its atmosphere. We seek the mercies of god, the grace of God, and the forgiveness of God right now to each one to shower them in all the love from all the great and mighty beings of the light. I command the Light, the substance, and the Flame of Love, Wisdom, and Power from out of the realms of LIGHT and the Temples of Light who charge forth the activities to bring to the planet all the Love of God, the Mercies of God and extenuating all of that into the atmosphere so that all of life will be able to feel the effluvia of the abundance of Gods Power reigning always in, through, and around us continuously each day, that we are charged with such radiance, we believe in the radiance, we are filled with the radiance of Heaven and the love to change the Earth forever as it floods forth the Healing Radiance to the Earth to heal all of mankind this instant and today.
