BELOVED LADY MASTER NADA

January 7, 1958

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS

Beloved Ones of My Heart, let Us enter tonight as deeply as possible into the comprehension of what the Sacred Fire means and is and can do for you all. You consider the Fire Element in the outer a physical manifestation, and yet it is part and parcel of the Sacred Fire. Now the Sacred Fire is all constructive Activities of the Fire Element, because the Sacred Fire cannot be used to produce any destructive activity for any reason.

Therefore, since you use physical fire to consume the debris of the physical world—substance that is no longer of use is returned to the Universal through that Fire Element. It is purified and returned, where it can be used over again. The Sacred Fire is the same Activity that goes on within your mental and feeling world in the substance of your Inner bodies, that whatever accumulation has been imposed upon them by discord can be dissolved and consumed, the substance purified and returned to the Universal to be used over again, because there is this great Economy in the great scheme of Life everywhere. No matter what activity of Life is manifesting anywhere in infinite space, there’s always the Divine Economy that holds things purified and in Divine Order and Divine Balance.

Therefore, the Students should understand the necessity of watching the outer self in its use of energy, that it does not waste energy doing unnecessary—or indulging in activity that is useless. Now mankind is bound by their own energy. There isn’t a thing manifesting in anybody’s world that is of discord that isn’t attached to the individual’s own Life Stream and energy, because the individual, through the attention, either created it or opened the outer self and connected with it.

Therefore, when you realize how long the “Mighty I AM Presence,” through hundreds and thousands of embodiments in which It has supplied energy to individuals, and yet the individuals do not attain the Ascension—you can see why human creation is so heavily energized, and why it seems difficult to free the outer self from its accumulation, because everybody’s human accumulation is far more heavily energized than anybody understands until you come into the Ascended State and see what mankind has created through the centuries. The useless use of energy, the waste of energy, and in addition to the deliberate misqualification of it—there is so much that is absolutely useless to the “Mighty I AM Presence” or the Ascended Host. Therefore, if people have created things that are useless, well then, it’s just like a barnacle to a ship. Someday it’s got to be dissolved and consumed and taken away from the individual if Freedom is to be attained.

Now these are the things that produce more illness than people realize. Since one of My main channels of assistance to mankind is Healing, I am bringing this to your attention, that We may assist you to be healed more quickly, permanently, and perfectly. So whenever discord appears, demand that all energy you’ve ever used in the past be compelled to be purified now! And if you will demand this, much habit in the mental and feeling world that goes on creating discord—much of that habit will be consumed; and you will just naturally keep your attention into an activity with which you are concerned that raises you and the rest of life into greater Purity and greater Perfection also.

But you must demand your freedom from your own habits of discord. I know, often you say, “my human creation.” We all have watched this; but if you will set to work to demand, by your “Mighty I AM Presence’ ” Blazing Sacred Fire, the Violet Consuming Flame—demand your Freedom from every habit that limits you or is destructive in any way.

Now habits are far more heavily energized than you understand; and the focus of that whirl of energy is in the emotional body as well as in the mind. The habit of letting the attention run free as a little wild dog has to be broken, My Dear Ones. You’ve got to leash your attention and absolutely forbid it to be held on anything that is going to drag you down into more limitation or discord.

Therefore, tonight I hope I may assist you to control the attention by giving you something so wonderful to think about that nothing else has any pull upon you. Now that’s one way to get you off the ground and into the air!

Thank you so much.

My principal thought tonight to help you do this is that, when you find outer things pulling too heavily upon you, you turn your attention not only back to the Glorious Beauty and Perfection and Glorious Light and Power of the Sacred Fire which your “Beloved Mighty I AM Presence” is, but you look into Our Octave and ask to be shown the Temples of the Sacred Fire—the Magnificence and the Beauty that is there, and that you have a right to call into manifestation down here to begin to make this world like Our Octave.

Now if you will do this, many magnificent things will come into your outer experience. Much Blessing will come to you that you may bless others. And the Power that you will draw into yourselves by keeping your attention upon the Beauty and the Power that is in Our Octave will just simply amaze you with the Blessings It will bring into your outer use.

So every time a habit disturbs you, use your own Divine Authority; and you can say: “Through the Sacred Fire Authority of ‘I AM’ That ‘I AM,’ which ‘I AM,’ I command that to stand aside and be annihilated from the Universe while I enter into my permanent association with the Perfection of the Ascended Masters’ Octave of Life. And I demand that Perfection come into me and fill my world, that Its Light may forever lead all Light—all Life into the greater Light and out of the distress of this world forever!”

Now I have many reasons for putting this to you this way tonight. This is a powerful Raising Activity; and when your Love goes to the Great Central Sun Magnet—which is the Raising Activity within Life, the Raising Activity of the Sacred Fire—it not only will raise your attention to this greater Power of Perfection, but it will raise the vibratory action of everything in yourself and your world. And the moment you raise its vibratory action, it produces more Perfection for you. This is a mechanical thing, pure and simple; but you must be master of your attention, and you have to command that attention just as certainly as an officer has to command an army.

You have got to command your attention! Now the average person doesn’t do that, even the Student Body. You find your attention on something, then you try to make the mind go to something else. But if you’ll issue the Command at night before you go to sleep and in the morning when you wake up: “My ‘Beloved Mighty I AM Presence,’ with Your Power of the Sacred Fire, I demand my attention this next day be held on the Perfection of Your World; and I demand Your Perfection blaze in, through, and around me and fill my world—and with Your Love and Power of the Sacred Fire, I DO this thing!” Don’t say, “I will do.” Say, “I do!” The minute you say, “I will do,” you put it off into the future.

You’ll have some amazing experiences. If you don’t have all the explanation you want in the mind, demand the Illumination that tells you the Truth of what you need to know next. Don’t let the mind go woolgathering, and the attention go here, and wonder who’s there, and what your last embodiments were or something else that gets you into trouble. You don’t do that! The minute you find your attention wandering on things that the sinister force wants to keep your attention upon until it can take your attention away from your “Presence,” you will have to command your attention to give obedience to your Higher Mental Body, and forbid it to do anything else.

You’ve got to command it, My Dear Ones. You can be the biggest dictator in the world to yourself on this. Now people that like to boss somebody else around and just manage everybody—this is one of the most wonderful outlets for that desire; and it will give other people a rest, too. So, Blessed Ones— Thank you, Precious Ones. Now this is a very powerful healing activity. That’s the reason I explain it to you tonight, because distress in the atomic structure of the body is the result of destructive habit in the past; and the destructive habit was created by allowing the attention to go to something that was not constructive.

So habits—whether they be in the mind or the feeling world, matters not. If through destructive habit there have been creations of discord imposed upon the etheric body or the emotional body, the mental body, by destructive pictures in the mind, someday, sometime, somewhere, you’ve got to demand their annihilation by Conscious Command.

I want to say, in regard to the use of the Law of Forgiveness, watch out that the intellect doesn’t put the responsibility on just speaking the words. Many people say, “I call on the Law of Forgiveness,” and they think that’s all that’s necessary; and that’s not it at all. You speak the Word of Command: “ ‘I AM’ the Ascended Masters’ Law of Forgiveness and the Consuming Flame of all inharmonious action! My ‘Beloved Mighty I AM Presence,’ blaze enough Violet Consuming Flame there to wipe out what is wrong, replace it by what is right, and fulfill Your Divine Plan!” Because everything, My Dear Ones, that the human has done in the misuse of energy is an interference with the Fulfillment of that Divine Plan. You’ve got to have that Divine Plan fulfilled in you if you are going to be healed permanently. The healing is not just a matter of the control of the atomic structure of the flesh, because the cause of discord is in the emotional body, the etheric body, and the mind.

So, Blessed Ones, I bring this to your attention, that when you are aware of destructive or careless habits limiting you, turn back with fierce determination, and demand whatever Sacred Fire concentration is necessary to wipe those habits out of you completely and unconditionally! Now when you want that and demand it enough, it can be done in one flash; and therefore, if the habit does not disappear, then each time you have got to go back to the Higher Mental Body and demand it with more fierce determination.

Not until you are completely free from all destructive habits will you understand how you have been bound, because I tell you, Precious Ones—and sometimes, if We could become discouraged, We would weep if We could when We see people staying in limitation from which they could be free, just because they are contented to stay—they are contented to stay in their limitation.

Now watch out that you cut yourselves free from the whole race consciousness that, “Oh, we’ve got to always accept some evil with all good.” If there ever was a lot of nonsense, that’s it! That’s taught everywhere in the outer world. “Oh, well, if you have something good, some evil always has to go with it.” Well, if God has to have evil, it’s a funny kind of a God.

So I want you to be free from that which has bound you and limited you simply for no reason on Earth except that it’s a barnacle that you accumulated; and you could—in one mighty Determination and Demand, you could drop that accumulation away from you as if you threw off an old garment. That is why the Beloved Divine Director said to you, My Loved Ones, “If you only knew what your feelings could do for you, you would be free in a few hours,” with your Love and Devotion to your “Presence” and your use of Its Sacred Fire Authority to command the end, complete and unconditional, of every bit of habit that is a limitation of any kind in you or your world.

My Dear Ones, I want you Free! And if you will try this, let Us see how much We can concentrate on it in the next few weeks especially, because I want you to be free as quickly as possible, because We need to use more Power through you for America; and what?—to control what America is facing. Now this is a matter of national importance to you all.

Thank you so much.

I trust I haven’t been too hard on you tonight. But when We are hoping so much to get people free from distress, that they may have greater use of the Sacred Fire, it is because your outer self, and that includes your Inner bodies, must be purified and set free and kept at ease up to a certain intensity before We can release more Sacred Fire through you that will enable you to do much greater Service in your own activities and to the Nation, because the intensity of the Sacred Fire that blazes in, through, and around you or your affairs is determined entirely by the Purity within your own Inner vehicles, because We cannot shock you by intensifying too suddenly the Action of the Sacred Fire within. It has to be governed and regulated to the atomic structure, the cohesive power of the atomic structure of your bodies. Therefore, if you demand your freedom from every destructive habit, then you will find the Violet Consuming Flame will act very much more rapidly in your outer affairs.

So, Blessed Ones, in the fullness of all of Our Hearts’ Love, We want you Free! And We want to help mankind in the healing activities to be assisted as powerfully as possible, because when We heal individuals, if We cannot bring Illumination to the mind, then there is a reaction. If We lift the penalty from an individual who will not learn a lesson—We may not lift that penalty without reaction which We do not care to impose upon the individual. Only when Illumination comes to the mind through an experience, can discord be set aside and wiped out of the Universe; and when the individual has the Illumination, then there is the willingness to make restitution for the discord created.

Now We deal with the mass of mankind; and We have healed and healed and healed down through the centuries, and yet mankind goes on desecrating and destroying one body after another. We are hoping to raise the whole Student Body out of that condition as rapidly as possible, and the speed of your accomplishment depends on the determination that is aroused within you to make this Application to free yourselves from every destructive habit. I hope I may have the Privilege and the Joy, with the Beloved Mighty Saint Germain, of helping you to put an end to every destructive habit as soon as possible!

Thank you so much, Precious Ones. Won’t you be seated, please, and just remain so.

I won’t hold you long, but I just want to say one more thing which I am sure you will remember. You have no idea what habits there are in your intellect, in your speech, and in your feelings about your shortage of money or supply—which is, to a very large degree, a race consciousness in all mankind. I want you to break these habits so you may be disconnected from the race acceptance of lack or limitation of any kind. The race acceptance is due to fear and doubt.

So, Blessed Ones, if you will take your stand that you demand the breaking of every habit of thought, feeling, and spoken word that accepts any lack or limitation in you or your world, I will try to be a Reminder to you so that you go to work on this with a fierce determination to free yourselves as rapidly as possible. The more harmonious you keep yourselves, the quicker can supply come to you. But if you will, every time you use supply in the outer world, you hold the picture and train the mind to receive a larger Supply from the Hand of your “Mighty I AM Presence” into yourselves, into your affairs. Just the training of the intellect to hold the picture, to speak the Word, and to have the feeling that from here comes the Supply—you will put your “Presence” first as the channel of Supply instead of something in the outer world here that you feel you can touch and feel as a channel from which you could get the supply.

What I am trying to set is a habit within you of the placing of the “Presence” first and an Acknowledgment of the “Presence” as the Giver, and not the outer world as a channel of supply. If the “Presence” wants to use it from the outer world and It puts Its Hand out there and draws to you the conditions which bring supply, that is Its own business; but your feeling of security must come from placing your “Presence” first, and that is a matter of setting the habit. So whenever supply goes out from you and you use it in the outer world, send it forth to bless and fulfill the Divine Plan; and immediately, when you send it out, turn back to your “Presence” and ask the “Presence” to supply you with ten times more or a thousand times more—whatever you want.

Now the same thing is true of your health. After you have used your energy—and you do use energy, you know, all the time, waking and sleeping. You’re using energy to breathe and move about. But if you will form the habit of turning back to your “Beloved I AM Presence” and asking It to keep you supplied with more than you can ever use, more than It knows you are going to need, you again form the habit in the outer intellect of placing the “Presence” first and acknowledging that that is the Source of Supply.

Therefore, as you think upon this, if it doesn’t seem clear to you or if you don’t remember it often enough, call to Me and I will be your Divine Memory for a while until We get the habit set; and then I’ll leave you on your own.

Thank you so much, Precious Ones.

Now then, if you’ll love your “Mighty I AM Presence” and thank your “Beloved I AM Presence” for all the Love that has come to you down through the centuries since you left the Great Central Sun—because everything good you have ever had in your beings and worlds has been the Gift of some Power and Activity of Love. Therefore if you are grateful for that, and you thank your “Mighty I AM Presence” and the Ascended Host for all that Their Love has done for you down through the ages, My Dear Ones, it will throw the Door wide open for your boundless Blessings to come into your outer use and set you free from the limitations of outer world conditions.

May My Love prove that to you by Its Enfolding Mantle of Sacred Fire Power and Invincible Victory over all the limitations of this world. I commend you to your Freedom through this which I have drawn to your attention tonight, and which I will help to stand the guard to protect you until your new habits take the place of those that have been your limitations; and We will all go forward to the greater Happiness that lifts the rest of Life to Happiness also.

So in the fullness of the action of the Great Cosmic Law may We ever be grateful for all that Love does through Life and for Life; and may the Love of the Sacred Fire become so overwhelming to you and your world that It does fill you and all you contact with Its Happiness for Eternity, and your boundless Supply is released, forever to grow greater in your outer use. Never may you know discord or lack or limitation again. I shall prod you and prod you and prod you until you remember My Love that wants you to be Free. Thank you with all My Heart.
