How Beautifully Saint Germain Has Crafted
Our Violet-Flame Decrees!

Beloved Mother,

Recently I was sitting in the chapel waiting to lead decrees at one of our Sunday services. As I was sitting there I was thinking about my aching foot. I had a painful area on the bottom of my foot from a recent laceration. As a nurse, I was aware of the possibility of infection and, to be honest, had been anxious earlier that morning at the thought that I might need medical treatment (and of the extra expense that could involve).

I had been making some calls about it. So that was the prelude as I got up to lead decrees!  And, I might add, the foot was still painful as I continued to stand and lead the service.

You have reminded us about putting our heart and fervor into our decrees and so I try to do that, especially when leading a service, which I think is a real honor and privilege.

We started our violet-flame decrees with 70.01. Ah, Saint Germain and those wondrous violet-flame decrees!  As we gave the preamble I started to realize how beautifully crafted that decree is. I felt as if I was becoming one with that decree–that it was me and I was “in” it. It was rather like I was in an elevator that was moving between floors and as I stood there the words of the decree were all around me. I felt such love and gratitude for Saint Germain for giving us these beautiful decrees. Also I came to see how each word and phrase and sentence is so perfectly and technically constructed. I was in awe of it all!

Why, I have been giving decrees for years and felt ashamed that I had never seen the masterpiece that each decree is. It struck me so powerfully, Mother–every time we utter a fiat, give a decree, sit in a service or at our altar (wherever it may be), we should be remembering with profound gratitude and awe just what is this sacred and holy gift of the science of the spoken Word.

I also felt very close to my own Mighty I AM Presence right then, and all of a sudden I felt light descend and flash through my body, right down to my feet, and my foot suddenly stopped aching. I just “knew” it had been healed. (I might add that since then it has been perfectly fine.)

Since that day, Mother, I have been thinking very much about the whole situation. I realized that, oh yes, I loved my decrees, but somehow it was rather an intellectual love. I have my lists of where I ask God to direct those decrees, but up till that time I never really felt that my own Mighty I AM Presence and Holy Christ Self was indeed the greatest healer, the greatest power in the universe.

God has given us, each one, Himself individualized. And what do we do?  We sit in a service and think about how hungry we are, how tired we are, how Joe Bloggs down the street is such a pain in the neck. Or else we expect something outside of ourselves to give us wholeness.

And I realized that I do that even with our beloved Ascended Masters. What can Saint Germain, El Morya, Mother Mary do for me?  Even you, Mother!  You can save the world–but me, poor me, I’m not ready yet!

Well, I think it’s about time I became a Chela with a capital C. What can I do for Saint Germain and El Morya and Mother Mary?  God in me can do all things. As our beloved Archangel Gabriel reminded us at the New Year’s Class, “Thou the All; I the nothing.”

I am so grateful we are giving calls on pride, Mother, because I think a lot of what is coming up in my world is pride–although, of course, it slinks around under various guises!

So the bottom line is that I have to wake up, become God right where I am–here and now and forever.

And I AM grateful.

Your loving chela,
