Book 11
Not Far from the Grand Canyon

 

Archangel Michael visited Maria again that night, after Maria settled into her sleeping bag. Maria had been eating a few too many marshmallows around the campfire, and had fallen asleep before she knew it!

Archangel Michael said to her, “Maria, would you like to go and see the retreats that are nearby?”

“Really?” said Maria, “are there retreats here in the desert?”

“Yes,” said Archangel Michael, “there are retreats in the desert. In fact, there's one just for children, called Eriel's Retreat. This is where children go who need healing. It's a beautiful retreat over the desert.”

 

So Maria and Archangel Michael left the Grand Canyon to go see Eriel's retreat. “People who like to hike in mountains and meditate upon God love this retreat,” said Archangel Michael, “All who want to be set apart from worldly vibrations are welcome here.”

Maria saw a beautiful pink flame coming from the retreat, the color of divine love. And she could hear the song, “To a Wild Rose” playing in the ethers. She remembered the wild roses she had seen along the path down the Grand Canyon as they quietly entered the retreat.

Maria saw how the master Eriel had gathered children who have made their transition, especially those who found themselves suddenly taken out of embodiment by accidents, diseases and other causes, and need to adjust to life on the etheric plane again.

 

“Welcome Maria,” said Eriel. “Here we learn the science of the light and sound rays, and practice all-oneness with God. These children are developing some facet of their divine plan in preparation for re-embodiment. Legions of purple flame angels help us.”

Maria marveled at how peaceful Eriel's retreat felt, and how healing it was to be here to meditate upon God.

“There is another retreat I would like you to see,” said Archangel Michael. “It's very close to here and also over the Arizona desert. It is the retreat of John the Beloved, the disciple, the Bible tells us, that Jesus loved most, who received Jesus' Book of Revelation. He focuses the purple and gold flame of ministration and service, and he works very closely with Jesus.”

 

 

“Why did Jesus love John the most?” asked Maria.

“That is a good question,” said Archangel Michael. “The relationship between Jesus and John the Beloved went back for many lifetimes. When the soul of Jesus was embodied as Joseph, King of Dreams, the soul of John the Beloved was embodied as Benjamin, Joseph's dearest little brother. John the Beloved was the disciple who stood at the foot of the cross with Mother Mary when Jesus went through the crucifixion and he preached a gospel of pure divine love. He is the only disciple of Jesus who ascended at the end of that life.

“John the Beloved's retreat is a focus of the love of Jesus, and this is why people love the Arizona desert so much. Somehow they can tune into the flame of Christ hidden in the desert formations and in the red rocks.”

“Perhaps that's why I loved going to the Grand Canyon so much,” said Maria.

“Yes,” said Archangel Michael with a twinkle in his eye. “Jesus said, I AM with you always, even in the Grand Canyon!”

As Maria approached John the Beloved's retreat, she could hear the song Amazing Grace playing. “That is the keynote of Jesus' twin flame, Lady Master Magda,” said Archangel Michael. “She must be here at this time.”

The song filled Maria with the understanding that the Christ Presence of Jesus—in the desert or in the city or anywhere on Earth—is truly that amazing grace that helps souls reconnect to their God Source.

 

“Our retreat radiates the purple and gold flame of ministration and service to the Western Hemisphere and throughout the world,” said John the Beloved. “The action of this retreat is a great cup of Christ love that I received from Jesus in my life as the apostle John. Here, we teach the mastery of fire, air, water and earth through divine love.”

“What is the mastery of fire, air, water, and earth?” asked Maria.

“It is the mastery of the four lower bodies,” answered John the Beloved. “We master the fire element as we bring forth the violet flame to transmute the records that are held in the lower etheric body, until they reflect the higher etheric body.”

“The violet flame is very important,” said Lady Master Magda. “When I was on earth, I didn't know about the violet flame, and after I made my ascension, I gave the violet flame for many years on inner levels. The violet flame is the accelerating factor for the transmutation and the forgiveness of sins. The awareness and use of the violet flame is a great gift that our beloved Saint Germain brought to us from his causal body offering for the alchemy of transmutation.”

 

 

John the Beloved continued: “The mastery of the fire element is mastery of the etheric body and superconscious mind, through communion with the fiery salamanders. The hierarchs of the fiery salamanders are Prince Oromasis and Diana.

“Prince Oromasis and Diana regulate the flow of light through the chakras and help us to align our four lower bodies. They work with the sacred fire and also with the physical fire. They help us intensify the flame, even the threefold flame in the heart, and free us from the densities we take into our body, as well as impure thoughts and feelings. Salamanders can be the size of the tiniest flame of a birthday candle, or large beings of fire that cover great areas, including volcanoes.”

 

 

“What happens when there are forest fires?” asked Maria.

“That is another good question,” answered John the Beloved. “All of the elements of fire, air, water and earth are subject to negative human thoughts, feelings and physical pollutants. We must love them and help them to care for our planet and offer violet flame on their behalf, so they don't resort to cataclysm to throw off human discord. We can simply give the mantra,

'Seal, seal, seal in an ovoid bright,
Of the violet fire's clear light,
Every elemental, set and keep them free
From all human discord instantly
Beloved I AM, by Christ Command!'

“Another mantra we can give for the elementals is

'O violet flame, come violet flame
Now blaze, and blaze, and blaze
O violet flame, come violet flame
To raise and raise and raise
The plants and elemental creatures!'

 

“Now the mastery of the air element,” said John the Beloved, “is the mastery of our thoughts and conscious mind with the help of the sylphs of the air. Aries and Thor are the hierarchs of the air element and they work with us through the breath of the Holy Spirit, to purify the atmosphere and the mental body.

“The sylphs float through the air with beautiful fairy-like forms and exalted faces of divine purity. They deliver the mighty wind currents of the Holy Spirit—the prana and breath of God—from heaven to earth. Sadly, when they are overburdened or imprisoned by the dark mental creations of the planet, they may form hurricanes and tornadoes. We must give the violet flame to free them.

 

 

“Neptune and Luara are the hierarchs of the water element. The water element corresponds to our emotional body and to the subconscious mind.

“The trident that Neptune carries is a symbol of the threefold flame and the action of Christ that governs the water element.”

 

“Do you mean like when Jesus walked upon the water and calmed the sea?” asked Maria.

“Yes,” said John the Beloved. “The elementals of the water element are the undines that move through raindrops and waterfalls and waves. The seven seas represent the seven days of creation. The water of life is where physical life comes from. The sea is the womb of the cosmic virgin, where life begets life. The water element also helps us purify our emotions.”

“I understand,” said Maria. “I always feel better after I take a shower or when I go swimming.”

“The undines love to help,” said John the Beloved, “and we can even charge the water we drink with loving thoughts. Dr. Emoto proved that water crystals pattern after our consciousness and even the music we listen to. It's important to generate thoughts and feelings of love and to fill our environment with harmonious sounds. Would you like to see a picture?”

“Yes,” said Maria, as John the Beloved magically pulled a picture from his sleeve!

“You can research all of the crystals made by sound and words and feelings, in the book Messages From Water,” he said.

 

“Do the undines of the water also get burdened by mankind?” asked Maria.

“Yes,” said John the Beloved. “That is why there can be tsunamis and tidal waves and violent storms and flooding. The elementals are the deliverers of mankind's untransmuted karma. All of the elementals need the violet flame to purify themselves and the earth from misqualified energies.”

“I will try to remember to always bless my water,” said Maria.

“That is a good idea,” said John the Beloved. “Now Virgo and Pelleur are the hierarchs of the earth element. The earth element is the element that corresponds to our physical body and to the unconscious mind.

 

 

“Beloved Virgo and Pelleur are the spiritual father and mother to the gnomes, who tend the cycles of earth in the four seasons, purging the planet of poisons and pollutants. They very much need our violet flame to avoid cataclysm, like earthquakes and mudslides.”

“I thought gnomes were physical,” said Maria. “I was sure I saw a gnome once running under a tree.”

John the Beloved smiled. “For the most part, the gnomes and all of the elementals are part of the invisible world, meaning they exist just outside the spectrum of mankind's vision. Children are sometimes able to see them, but grown ups tend to dismiss them.”

“Yes,” said Maria. “They think it's just make believe but it's very real—like fairy rings!”

Lady Master Magda spoke up. “Some elementals take on incarnation and become human and walk the path of personal Christhood,” she said. “The elementals can earn a threefold flame through valiant, selfless service, and become Sons and Daughters of God. Many higher elementals who serve the earth in animal form can be awarded that transition, especially loving pets.”

“Could my Bikkhu earn a threefold flame?” asked Maria.

 

 

“Yes,” said Magda, “and you can call for that too. You can even teach your Bikkhu how to do violet flame decrees, and other elementals will join in.”

“That is so exciting,” said Maria. “I'm going to start teaching him right away so he can earn his threefold flame!”

Jesus stepped forth to Magda's side. Maria was so happy to see him again!

“When our beloved Jesus passed through the initiation of the resurrection, even prior to his ascension,” said Lady Master Magda, “he dedicated a portion of his momentum of the resurrection flame to help all elemental life. He wanted to lift some of the burdens that were upon them. They were so grateful for his service and his love.”

 

 

“I will love them too,” said Maria. “After all, we couldn't even have life on earth without them!”

“That's right,” said Lady Master Magda, as an entire crowd of elementals had now gathered around Jesus and John the Beloved.

“All respond to the God of Nature,” said Jesus.

“Who is the God of Nature?” asked Maria.

 

 

“The God of Nature works with the hierarchs of the four elements through the Holy Spirit,” said John the Beloved. “He is an alchemist of the sacred fire, who tends the magnetic currents of the earth. He draws forth and amplifies and balances the magnetic currents through his body and his consciousness, and then directs them in a balancing action upon nature and elemental life.”

“What does he look like?” asked Maria.

“He releases his radiation through robes of pink, gold, and green,” said John the Beloved. “His aura emanates an intense blue light from his head, and his entire form resembles the aurora borealis. The rays from his head are white, and those from his heart are gold. From the right hand he emits a green ray, and from the left the pink ray.”

“Wow! He is so beautiful!” Maria whispered to Lady Master Magda, as the God of Nature for a moment appeared.

“Do the hierarchs of the elementals have their own retreats? “ Maria asked John the Beloved.

 

 

“Yes,” said John the Beloved. “Prince Oromasis and Diana have a retreat on the etheric plane for elementals and angels, that the ascended masters also visit. It is over an island in the Bering Sea, between Russia and Alaska, where elementals come to get recharged. So do the angels, as they bask in the fiery glow of the currents of the Holy Spirit in nature.

“Can people come to visit too?” asked Maria.

“Yes,” said John the Beloved. “Prince Oromasis and Diana invite students to come to The Retreat of the Fiery Salamanders to learn how to assist elemental life. Here, they tend the sacred fire with priests and priestesses of the Order of Melchizedek, and radiate purifying rainbow rays to the entire planet for the freedom of mankind and for the liberation of all elemental life.”

“That sounds good!” said Maria.

“Don't forget to also send love each day to your own body elemental,” said Lady Master Magda.

“My body elemental?” asked Maria.

“Each person in embodiment has their very own body elemental,” said Magda. “That elemental looks after the physical body of your soul, lifetime after lifetime, helping you balance karma and helping you regulate your bodily functions throughout life. The body elemental looks just like you and is about three feet tall, and lives inside your aura. It is important to send love and gratitude to your body elemental for your body elemental's faithful service.”

“What happens when a person dies?” asked Maria.

“When death comes to the body,” said Jesus. “It is also because the body elemental leaves the form. The body elemental will return in a future incarnation. That is also why a soul has similar physical characteristics and issues, lifetime after lifetime.”

“Now what happens to the body elemental when we make our ascension?” asked Maria.

“The body elemental then earns a threefold flame,” said Magda with a smile. “You can give your body elemental a name, you know.”

Maria thought for a moment. “I think I would like to name my body elemental Tansy.”

“Tansy,” said Jesus. “That is a perfect name.”

 

“It's almost dawn in the Grand Canyon,” said Archangel Michael. “Time for me to take you back to your sleeping bag.”

And as the morning sun rays began to rise and illumine the pastel ridges of the Grand Canyon, Maria awoke to the fresh chirping of birds and to a little squirrel dancing about the tree stumps in the campground. Then, she remembered the melody,

Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound that saved a soul like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found.
Was blind, but now I see.

And lo and behold! the little squirrel chuckled and ran up a tree!
