I AM the Witness

Put Your Troubles in a Sack and Cast It into the Violet Flame!

Beloved Mother,

      I am writing to witness to the pearls of wisdom found in the early teachings recorded on the Only Mark albums. I also want to attest to the love of the Masters and their ever-faithful response to our prayers.

      During this past spring I entered a cycle that seemed particularly difficult. I felt as if I were in a deep, dark, bottomless pit. Things seemed so bad that I even considered leaving the Teachings. However, it didn't take much thought on the matter for me to realize that there was nowhere else for me to go. For better or for worse, this Church is the only place for me if I really want to make my ascension. I realized that I needed to find the strength to stand and still stand–and to conquer my lesser self and wrong desires. I needed to surrender to God so as not to break.

      I decreed and decreed. The darker things seemed, the more I decreed. I also increased the use of Archangel Michael's sword during this period. Nothing seemed to help or to make a difference.

      Then came the Easter conference. I arrived at the ranch at about 2:00 p.m. on Thursday afternoon. Since I had not yet eaten lunch, I went straight to the cafeteria. All the tables were full, so I went to El Morya's Chapel. A dictation by the Great Divine Director from one of the Only Mark albums was playing. It was his October 15, 1966 dictation given in Colorado Springs. I listened intently as the Great Divine Director invited us to cast all of our burdens into a sack. He said:

      Will you tonight put your troubles one and all in a sack and then cast it into the violet transmuting flame and say unto me and to Saint Germain: “Saint Germain and Great Divine Director, I am putting all of my troubles, my burdens, my responsibilities into a sack and I am asking that they be consumed by the violet transmuting flame. And I am asking for a release of God-intelligent energy into my world, that I will know how to create new God-designs of responsibility, cosmically orientated, and to replace all of the human dissonance that I have ever expressed or manifested by the Christ Mind in action!”

      I decided to try it. After eating, I went to decree. Soon after I arrived, we started to do violet flame decrees. I was close to the picture of Saint Germain. I looked straight into his eyes and said, “OK, Saint Germain, the Great Divine Director said to put all my troubles into a sack and to throw that sack into the violet flame. So here you go.” I then named all the things that had been burdening me as I put them into the sack. Then I envisioned myself hurling this sack across time and space to Saint Germain.

      We were no more than thirty seconds into the decree when I felt a physical weight lift from my heart. What was dark and burdensome immediately turned to joy. I breathed a deep breath and smiled a grateful smile to Saint Germain. I was surprised to experience the answer to my prayer in such a physical way and I was ever so thankful to experience a ray of light pierce through the darkness. Thank you, Saint Germain!

      From that moment on, things lightened up in my life and I began to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I also began to feel a much closer tie to the heart of Saint Germain. He has become a very special friend. Now I often pull out my Only Mark tapes and listen to them regularly. They contain wonderful teachings that I find help me get back on the track and uplift and motivate me to keep on keeping on.

      Mother, I thank you and Mark for your dedication to getting these Teachings out to the Lightbearers. I am grateful for your ever-constant love and direction.

      With deepest gratitude,

His Lives and Works | The Ascended Master | Does He REALLY Exist?
