Science of the Spoken Word (Dynamic Decree) and the Violet Flame

Since man has fallen from Grace and has separated from his Holy Christ Self and God Presence, his consciousness has become almost limited in time space. His reality is pseudo-reality because it is almost based solely from what his five senses register into his mind. His spiritual senses have become dull thus he cannot sense the divine guidance as well as the beauty, magnificence, love, wisdom and power of his Holy Christ Self. As a result, he only sees vaguely and became lost in the labyrinth of life. But there is a way out from this predicament to reconnect ourselves to our Christ Self and God Presence. God has provided a means to find our way back to Him. Aside from the law of karma and reincarnation that God has established in the spirit-matter universe and the application of eternal verities in our life to progress in spiritual path, there are spiritual practices that we can employ to reconnect once again with our Christ self and I AM Presence. It must be remembered first that Christ is the only way back to God. This is precisely because it is a matter of raising the vibratory frequency of man’s consciousness and four lower bodies (etheric, mental, emotional, and physical) to that of the Christ. And as I have explained before, our spiritual progress - demonstrating Christly Virtues, balancing the threefold flame of power, wisdom, and love within our Heart chakra (Spiritual heart) and balancing our four lower bodies as well as raising the mother flame from the base-of-the-spine to the crown chakra are tantamount to raising our frequency to that of the Christ. How then do we achieve this? In my view, there is no single step by step process; it also depends upon which ones are suitable to the devotee or practitioner. But there has to be a process of self purification and transmutation. It’s going to be difficult to simply rely on our own effort to exhibit righteousness, virtues and perfection every moment of our lives. This is because we have impurities in our four lower bodies that we have garnered from thousands of previous embodiments as a result of negative thoughts and feelings; and these impurities and negative momentum bogged us down in our effort to manifest purity and perfection in our world. As in the words of St Paul, ”I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members” (Romans 7: 21-23). But with the help of various soul- purification processes from different traditions like devotion and meditation to one of God’s manifestations as well as other spiritual disciplines we’ll be able to gradually refine and raise our consciousness, overcome our negativities, balance our karma and out-picture Christly virtues till we begin to taste the tangible saving grace of the Holy Spirit and Christ Presence. I would just like to emphasize one of these soul purification processes - the application of the Science of the Spoken Word and the Violet Transmuting Flame (the seventh ray aspect of the Holy Spirit) as taught by the Ascended Masters. This invocation of the Holy Spirit is a gift of God to man. It is the grace of God to find salvation of our soul. “Though your sins be as scarlet they shall be white as snow though they be red as crimson they shall be white as wool” (Isaiah 1:18). This Violet Flame is considered in AMT as the blood of Jesus Christ that washes away all our sins. This Violet Flame can be invoked using the Science of the Spoken Word or Dynamic Decree.

Thus you may have realized by now that the Science of the spoken word I am referring to is not about the words that we use in our everyday conversations or in delivering powerful speech before the audience. Although there could be science on saying ordinary words like these ones and has a semblance on our real topic that I am putting forward, I am strictly referring to the Science of the Spoken Word that is uttered over and over again for the purpose of Self as well as planetary transformation. In the east, they use what they call mantra – a group of words or a short sentence usually in Sanskrit, that are recited many times over for the purpose of attaining self-realization; they also recite mantras that are believed to contribute for planetary transformation. For instance, the Hare Krishna group (IKSHCON) is known to give the following mantra in public parks and streets: Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare. Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare. The well-known Buddhist mantra, “Om Mani Padme Hum” is also another example which means “Hail O Jewel in the Lotus”. The Jewel represents our Buddha Nature that is situated in our Heart chakra. This mantra can be used to meditate upon the Buddha in our Heart transforming our whole being and world. In the Roman Catholic belief, we can hear them reciting the “Our Father”, “Hail Marys”, and other prayers that are recited repetitively. They invoke the assistance of our Father God, Jesus Christ, Mother Mary and other Saints in Heaven to give them spiritual strength, help them in their daily living and for the purpose of salvation of souls.

The Ascended Master students can comfortably recite all these prayers and mantras. But principally when giving dynamic decree, they always call the Holy Christ Self and the Mighty I AM Presence, the names of the Ascended Masters, Archangels, Elohim, as well as the seven rays of the Holy Spirit; in fact, the entire Spirit of the Brotherhood of Light in Heaven prior to giving constructive/positive intentions for the purpose of self-transformation, protection and healing of the family, community and the world. The key is in calling upon their names. By calling upon them reverently and lovingly or any of them specifically like Jesus, Krishna, Kuan Yin, Saint Germain, Buddha or Archangel Michael they can overshadow us and will respond to our calls or prayers according to Cosmic Law because the omnipresent power of the Holy Spirit is upon them. Just as when you call your friend by her name, she will turn his head towards you, so too, the Ascended Masters will hear and respond to your call. They also use the name of God, I AM, on reciting I AM Affirmations. When saying “I AM” in the affirmation it must be thought of as “God in me is”. For example, when reciting, “I AM Love, Light and Life” it means “God in me is Love, Light and Life”. When affirming, “I AM Happy Happy Happy!”, it means “God in me is Happy Happy Happy”. There is power in that affirmation because you are using the power of the name of God “I AM”(always capitalized). Thus, that affirmation will surely manifest in your world especially when given with positive thoughts and feeling. Since I AM is the name of God, we should never follow it with negative statement/s. We must be careful even on saying casual negative statement like “I am sick” or “I am sad” for it can manifest more negative condition. Many of the dynamic decrees, fiats, and I AM Affirmations use in the Ascended Master activities are actually formulated words that came from Ascended Master’s octave dictated through the Messengers of the Brotherhood of Light.

I would like to explain that dynamic decree and I AM affirmations is different from self-hypnosis (auto suggestion). In self- hypnosis you do not invoke the Christ and God Presence or one of the Heavenly Beings but simply rely on the power of own sub-conscious mind to hypnotize self in order to produce change and healing in one’s own being and world. In this case the practitioner is doing away the assistance of God and the Holy Spirit to wash clean his/her four lower bodies with the waters of the Word. In the end, the result will be more burden or hindrance on the spiritual path because there is no soul purification involved and consequently no increase of vibratory frequency. It would just be like cleaning the floor by putting all the dust and dirt under the carpet. Thus "there is a way that seems right unto man but the ways thereof are the ways of death"(Proverbs 14:12).

It might be asked why many of the mantras and dynamic decrees are recited repetitively. The purpose of repetition is not to gain favour from God but in order to gain momentum and to cut through. It’s not vain repetition as the heathens do. It is scientific repetition. It is just like sharpening a knife; you cannot sharpen it by just one stroke. It can also be likened to cleaning an old jar where it is needed to be scrubbed many times over to clear away the entrenched dirt that accumulated for many years. Similarly, we have accumulated so many impurities for thousands of years in our memory, mental, emotional and then into physical bodies that need to be washed clean by the momentum of our calls to the Violet Consuming Flame. I believe that mantra and dynamic decree uses the power of positive sound and rhythm, and the repetition of this sound amplifies power. We know that sounds can affect matter or the cells, nervous system and other systems of our body in particular. We use positive sounds by using our vocal chords to recite the names of God followed by positive words when giving dynamic decree to bring order and harmony in our being and world. And I believe that it does affect positively not only our physical systems but as well as our mind/consciousness and emotions because of the positive thoughts and feelings that we generate. Thus transformation of consciousness is taking place too when we give mantras or dynamic decrees. Infusing positive thoughts and feelings especially love behind the words being spoken is therefore very important while reciting dynamic decree. Remember the mind-body-spirit connection that is much accepted in medical science today.

By the way, dynamic decree is not a substitute for prayer and meditation. There is a time for prayer and meditation and there is also time for giving dynamic decree. Dynamic decree, however, is regarded as the most powerful application to Godhead according to AMT. I believe it is because you use the power of positive sound/word and rhythm in combination with the power of thoughts/feelings and visualization on giving dynamic decrees.

Power of Music

One good example of the power of sound is in music. I would like to attempt to give the following discussions in a scientific tone. There have been studies that there are certain pieces of music that is good for our health. In the book, “The Secret Power of Music by David Tame”, it explains that classical music like that of Mozart, Strauss and Beethoven are beneficial to our health and well-being while the rhythm of the rock music is bad for our health. The book cited some cases where plants and animals can grow faster if expose to classical music for a long time; On the other hand the blaring rock beat is shown to even kill fishes in the aquarium and inhibit the growth of plants. It also explains that music can affect our heartbeats and nervous system.

In another book, “Hidden Messages in Water by Dr Masaru Emoto (1999)” you will find a corroboration of the above studies. Dr. Emoto conducted experiment where he exposed a bottle of distilled water to different pieces of classical music at a normal volume that a person listen to; and then by using a powerful microscope and high speed photography, he captured the frozen water crystals and found out that those were beautiful and well-formed. Whereas by exposing the same source of distilled water to heavy metal rock music it resulted in fragmented and malformed crystals. This demonstrates that the harmonious/consonant music like that of classical is good while the dissonant music like rock is bad. (The characteristic of harmonious/consonant music is its perfect intervals. This is actually an old concept pioneered by Greek Mathematician, Musician and Philosopher – Pythagoras). Moreover, Dr Emoto also found that water from clear springs when expose to loving words shows brilliant, complex and colourful snowflake patterns. In contrast, polluted water, or water exposed to negative thoughts forms incomplete, asymmetrical patterns with dull colors. Since our body is 75% water as well as that of the earth, this implies how we can impact our health and environment by our positive thoughts and feelings. This is in accord with the use of dynamic decrees because its characteristic is one of positive words, thoughts and feelings.

I made a little internet search to find some research on the power of sound and music and I found this website: http://tama-do.com/roothtmls/cell-research.html for your perusal.

Cymatics

It can be said that the sound of mantra or dynamic decree is different from music and therefore the two has no relation with each other. However, it can be shown in the field of cymatics that both can have similar good geometric results. Cymatics is the study of visible sound and vibration pioneered by Hans Jenny (1967), a Swiss medical doctor, artist and researcher. He conducted an experiment by creating a device that consists of vibrating metal plates and membranes where he can put various materials like sands, spores, iron filings and water. He made use of crystal oscillators to set the vibration of plates and membranes so he can vary the exact frequency and amplitude in any way he wants by electronic means. The result was that the various materials form shapes and motion-patterns that vary from perfectly ordered and stationary to those of turbulently developing, organic and constantly in motion. The complexity of the patterns and increase in elements is a function of the increase in frequency while the increase in turbulent motion is a function of the increase in amplitude.

In his experiment, Dr. Jenny was able to duplicate the previous discovery in 1787 of Ernst Chladni, a jurist, musician and physicist. Chladni discovered that when a violin bow is drawn perpendicularly across the flat edge of the plate covered with sand, it produces symmetrical patterns and shapes which is now known as Chladni or Lissajous figures. Chladni’s discovery laid the foundation to the science of sound called acoustics, a branch in physics. Moreover, Dr Jenny also invented a tonoscope, which was constructed to make the human voice visible without the use of electronic apparatus. Some of you may have already seen the operation of tonoscope. When I was a kid I thought of it as simply a fanciful toy that when you utter a vowel sound (A,E, I, O, U)through a pipe connected to a drum which has grains of sand scattered on top of it, the grains of sand will form beautiful geometrical shapes. (It is surprising to know that when any of the Hebrew or Sanskrit vowels was pronounced, the sands took on the shape of the written symbols for these vowels.) Nowadays, even in Youtube, you can find some experiments where the name of GOD as OM when pronounced produce beautiful geometric pattern in the tonoscope. To those of you who are not familiar with the name of God as OM or AUM, I would like to explain that it is Hindu and Buddhist in origin. To them, OM as the name of God is God Himself. Thus when they pronounce the OM with reverence, God is really there. They also believe that the sound of the OM is the Hum of the universe, known as the soundless sound.

I believe, it is not coincidental that in Kabbalah’s literature (Jewish mysticism), it is said that vowel sounds (A,E,I,O,U) have inherent power to raise our vibration. Other consonants like M, R, S, J, H, L, CH, SH when proounced have inherent power as well. Combinations of these consonants with vowels can therefore be taken as power sounds. Thus the various names of God like I AM THAT I AM, Jehovah, Elohim, El Shaddai, Jesus, Mary, and Krishna have inherent power. Other seed syllables use in Buddhist mantra like AIM, HRIM, SHRIM, KLIM, SOU HU, etc. conform to this power sounds; the name of Archangels too - Archangel Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Jophiel, Uriel, Zadkiel, and Chamuel. The words Holy, Hallelujah, Amen, and many biblical verses praising God can actually be power words.

It might be said that beautiful geometric patterns formed in the tonoscope when reciting the names of God and other mantras does not in anyway prove to be good to our body, health and well-being. My response to this is, why not test and try it for yourself and feel its effects. Try pronouncing OOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM with reverence many times over (maybe for about 10 minutes) and think of Peace and Love; you can at the same time visualize Jesus or Buddha or the flame of the Holy Spirit superimposing your form. You can alternate the OM with I AM THAT I AAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM if you want. I can really feel calmness and serenity in myself when I do this. I am sure it will work the same for you through practice. You will also find that your silent meditation just after giving mantra is more conducive. I believe that it is important to infuse positive thought and feeling into the spoken word/s otherwise it will negate the latter. It is their harmonious blending that multiplies its power. Faith, I believe will add tremendous power into it. Having faith that God comes when you call His Name and transforms you gives effective result. “Without Faith it is impossible to please God”(Hebrew 11:6).
