THE METAPHYSICAL and SPIRITUAL TEACHING
OF EDNA W. BALLARD
TEACHING THE STUDENTS TO INVOKE THE LIGHT OF GOD THAT
NEVER FAILS
As a small child I well remember my Father's philosophical approach to Life and recall that as soon as I could speak he taught me to pray a few simple prayers, some Catholic (my Father's background) and Lutheran (my Mother's).
But by the time I was nine years old my Father and Mother had embraced the Teaching of Saint Germain and Jesus as taught through Guy and Edna Ballard. And my Father was teaching me to 'decree'. He said he had found that the human approach to 'addressing God in prayer', when other than in Adoration, often degenerated into begging, with a sense of human sinfulness and helplessness thrown in.' He didn't identify with or want me to identify with either sinfulness or helplessness.
So he taught me about my Mighty God Presence. He said I was really working with two 'minds'....my human mind and a personal Immortal Mind....he called It my Christ Mind and said It was a small part of the Eternal 'I AM or Mind of Infinite God Consciousness', and that we all have a Bit of that Mind of God anchored or embodied in our human forms. He taught me the consequences (positive or negative) of setting Energy into motion through any statement I made beginning with the words, 'I' or 'I am'....
He taught me that when we 'decree a thing' using both our human and our Christ Minds, we powerfully acknowledge and set into motion the
'Power of 'God-in-Action-within us....
a Power that is always ready to go forth at our command to
produce whatever we humanly need or desire'.
In those early days the full meaning of that Teaching had yet to be tested. But through the years I have had the Greater Understanding of Guy and Edna Ballard to look to for further Instruction and Inspiration.
And early on, we, my Father, Mother and myself began to learn and to work with Decrees the Ballards suggested to their Students.
Beloved
Lotus said over and over again that each individual had to make the Call to
God....had to 'invoke the Light' in order to receive Greater Assistance for
themselves or loved ones or for the world.
....that for any activity to be released into the physical world, the intense 'call' had to come from some Soul or group of Souls embodied on Earth.
Saint Germain told the Students, when talking about the Great Necessity to 'decree' for the Cosmic Light required to put an end to destructive forces at work on the Planet. He said, 'Prayer is not intensive enough to release the Energy needed to control the negative forces that rock the Planet!'
For me, it has always comes down to understanding that 'decreeing' is powerful....while still being humble and being a way to lovingly cooperate with the more Evolved Beings Who, at this time, are working overtime to save a Planet and a people....while relying heavily on us to do our part. We are the 'unknown quantity' in the equation.
So,
what follows are some of the first decrees I
learned many years ago....most of which I continue to use on a daily basis,
sometimes altered in wording, but with the Meaning and Purpose remaining clear.
Oh, that all children today might be taught these Mighty Commands to Life....commands that carry the Consciousness of not only our own 'I AM' Presence but as well that of the Ascended and Angelic Host of Light, including the Consciousness and Power of Beloved Edna Ballard....now the Ascended Lady Master, Lotus. We can and we do, ask Her to enfold us in Her Luminous Presence (Her Luminous Christ Energy) to assist us as We command 'God into Action' at our point in the Universe.
The first
basic decree I
was taught stressed the importance of keeping an
Invincible Wall of Light around my entire Lifestream,
seeing It going deep into the Earth, 'grounding the Self, Body and Soul'....
and seeing It enclose the physical body,
as well as the Christ and 'I AM' Self high in the Heavens....
giving recognition to and re-enforcing that Wall of Light everyday.
This is the Decree so well remembered and used since childhood:
Mighty 'I AM' Presence, enfold me now in Your Mighty, Magic
Electronic Tube of Ascended Master Light Substance.
Make It so powerful that no human creation can pass through.
See that It keeps me invisible, invincible and invulnerable to everything but
Thy Almighty Perfection and infinitely sensitive to Thee,
Beloved Mighty 'I AM' Presence.
(And we were taught to visualize and feel that Wall or Tube of Light around ourselves)
Following that and as
important was/is a decree for Activating the Violet Flame in and around the
physical, mental, emotional and Etheric Bodies. It is as follows:
My Mighty 'I AM' Presence and Holy Christ Self,
Blaze up through me now your Mighty Violet Flame,
the purifying Power of Divine Love,
in its most powerful, dynamic Activity.
See that this Mighty Violet Flame consumes cause, effect, record
and memory of all human concepts, desires and feelings in my Being and world.
Command It to consume and transmute every mistake for
which my human self has ever been responsible.
Now, fill me with the Ascended Masters' Electronic
Substance of Light, Love, Purity and Perfection
and hold your Dominion within me forever.
(Always visualizing ourselves standing within a powerful Ray of Violet Light
with the Love Ray ( Pink Energy) spiraling in the center.)
Mighty Violet Flame ,
Blaze forth into, through and around me, Your most intense
Cosmic Activity and cut away, in one Mighty Sweep, everything
that binds or limits me.
Mighty Angels of the Violet and Blue Lightning of Divine Love.
I call to You and ask that You Consume from the Earth
everything destructive.
I call to You and ask You to Purify all substance everywhere.
Blaze Your Cosmic Light with such Irresistible Consuming Power
that all impure human creation, concepts, qualities and activities
of every kind are annihilated within and around mankind,
the Earth, and its atmosphere.... the cause, effect, record and memory.
Everywhere forever.
My Mother loved
certain
decrees and taught them to me:
Here are several she used everyday:
My Mighty 'I AM' Presence,
Fill me with Your All-knowing Mind of God
Flood me with Your Mighty Directing Intelligence.
and with your All controlling Heart of Love, Master Obedience
and Self-control, eternally sustained.
Mighty 'I AM' Presence,
establish Thy Unfed Flame of Divine Love in every home on the Earth
Expand It within every heart. And keep It forever sustained.
Teach every human being the Fullness of the Mighty Power
and Perfection of that Unfed Flame.
Mighty 'I AM' Presence, expand Thy Light in every cell of my body
until Its Radiance blazes through my flesh, eternally sustained.
Saint
Germain asked us to say often:
God, the Mighty 'I AM' Presence is governing in
the hearts and minds of mankind everywhere
The
following is a decree given to the students by Beloved Jesus,:
In the Name of God, the Mighty 'I AM' Presence
such freedom, health, prosperity and harmonious action
shall come forth for America and the world now
as have never before been experienced on earth.
The
following Instruction made a lasting impression on my young mind....
and continues to do so today:
In the Name, by the Power, through the Love, in the Authority
and unto the Glory of God, the Mighty 'I AM' Presence,
we now offer ourselves as a channel to You,
Blessed Master Saint Germain,
Beloved Jesus, Nada and Great Divine Director
...and to All the Ascended Hierarchy and Angelic Legions of Light.
Blaze through us Thy Mighty Golden Light, the Power of Divine Love.
Blaze that Golden Light Substance into the Heart of the Earth
until this whole Planet become a Great Golden Sun of Light.
See that all individuals on the Planet serve only the
Light of God that Never Fails and that each one gives all credit and
acknowledgment to God, the Cosmic 'I AM' Presence....
The 'Golden Light referred to above comes directly from the Source of All Power, from what is called by some, The Great Central Sun. It flows into our I AM Presence and from there into the physical body.
The next Activity of
Light that made a great impression on me as a child was that of the
Blue Ray, which I learned to use in any 'healing situation' in conjunction
with the Violet Ray and the Love Ray. I was taught to visualize my 'I AM' Presence projecting
the Blue Lightning from Its Hands into the condition or place I was 'healing'....to never do it with a feeling of anxiety or fear....to never draw the Blue Ray through my body but always
through the Hands of My Presence into the condition I desired to heal....saying:
Mighty ' AM' Presence,
project the Blue Lightning of the Ascended Master's Divine Love
into this condition, (or situation) and blast the cause, effect, record and
memory of it from the face of the Earth forever.
And
finally there was the Decree for the Ascension.
It is indelibly etched on my mind:
Mighty 'I AM' Presence, take complete command of my mind and body now.
Prepare me for what You would have me do.
I am ready and I am willing
See that I make my Ascension in this embodiment!
In
conclusion:
We have been taught that it is in the Silence that Great Power is generated.
It is in the Spoken Word that Great Power is released.
May we Understand this and having been taught, now do our Part.
