1. First, place yourself in a meditative posture, sitting in a
comfortable chair before your altar, the physical focus of your
worship. If possible, you should set aside a chair that is used
only during your meditations and invocations. You should consecrate
this chair by the momentum of your heart flame as a focus of the
atomic accelerator that is used by the Ascended Masters in the
Cave of Symbols. Chelas who have passed certain initiations are
bidden to sit in the atomic accelerator to have the atoms and
molecules of the four lower bodies stepped up by the currents
of the ascension flame in preparation for the ritual of the return,
the alchemical marriage that is the soul's reunion with the Spirit.
2. Place your feet flat on the floor, your hands
cupped in your lap, your head erect, eyes level, chin drawn in
for the disciplined flow of the energies of the heart through
the throat chakra.
3. The Call to the Fire Breath, the invocation
of the Goddess of Purity given to the devotees of the Holy Spirit,
should now be recited three times. Give it slowly, rhythmically,
with feeling. Absorb each word and each concept with the conviction
held in heart and mind that you are here and now a joint-heir
with Christ. And as the beloved son, the beloved daughter, you
are claiming your inheritance. Yours is an inheritance of the
sacred fire that issues forth from the heart of beloved Alpha
and Omega, who keep the flame of the Father-Mother God in the
Great Central Sun.
Call to the Fire Breath
I AM, I AM, I AM the Fire Breath of God
From the heart of beloved Alpha and Omega.
This day I AM the Immaculate Concept
In expression everywhere I move.
Now I AM full of Joy,
For now I AM the full expression of Divine Love.
My beloved I AM Presence,
Seal me now within the very heart
Of the expanding Fire Breath of God.
Let its purity, wholeness and love
Manifest everywhere I AM today and forever. (3x)
I accept this done right now with full power!
I AM this done right now with full power!
I AM, I AM, I AM God-Life expressing Perfection
All ways at all times.
This which I call forth for myself
I call forth for every man, woman and child on this planet.
The immaculate concept, the fiery blueprint
according to which your soul was created in the image of the Divine
One, is now impressed upon your four lower bodies. This fiery
blueprint is magnetized by the coil described earlier in this
lesson, which you now bring to the fore of consciousness as the
pivot of your call to the fire breath. The fullness of the joy
which you claim is the fullness of the expression of divine love.
4. Now visualize the buoyant energies of love
being magnetized by this coil and by the energies of the heart
(which from our previous exercises you hold in mind as the focus
of the interlaced triangles superimposed with the name of God).
Chart of Your Divine Self
"It is not enough that
mankind have a Divine Presence.
They must also exercise it . . . "—Arcturus
“That which moves you
and causes you to have being
is your own Mighty God Presence. Revere and adore this
Presence.
This is yourFather and my Father. This is your God and
my God.
This is the God of every master and every cosmic being.
This is the fire on the altar of heaven before which every
knee
does bow and every tongue does confess, saying,
with great love and adoration and knowing,that it is ‘I
AM."
—Lord Maitreya, September 18, 1960

It is essential that you hang above your altar
the Chart of the Presence. [Where possible,] your eye level when
you are standing should be at the eye level of the lower figure
in the Chart, so that the Christ Self and the I AM Presence are
above you.
5. Therefore, in all of your meditations and
invocations, you should imagine through the imaging of the eye
that all energy released through the chakras comes forth from
the I AM Presence, through the Christ Self, descending over the
crystal cord into the heart chakra, thence throughout the four
lower bodies.
The Three-fold Flame |
Establish in mind, then, the concept of a perpetual
flow from the heart of the individualized God Self to the heart
of the Christ Self to your own threefold flame pulsating in the
rhythm of God's heartbeat. The sealing of your aura within the
very heart of the expanding fire breath of God is
accomplished by your I AM Presence through the Christ Self in
answer to your call. Remember, it is God in you who is the decreer,
the decree, and the fulfillment of the decree.
Chakras |
6. Visualize your aura as an ovoid of white
light extending beneath your feet, beneath the coil, above your
head and above the coil. See the aura increasing in the intensity
of the light as that energy is expanded from the heart chakra
and thence from all of the chakras as the sacred mist
that is called the fire breath of God. Let its purity, wholeness
and love fill the ovoid of your aura; and feel your mind and heart
disciplining that energy and holding it in the creative tension
of your cosmic awareness.
7. Conclude the giving of the call (three times)
with the acceptance. Now you are ready for the exercise of the
integration of the eighth ray.
8. To the count of eight beats, draw in through
your nostrils the sacred breath. When you first begin this exercise,
you may wish to count the eight beats by the gentle tapping of
your foot. The breath is drawn in through the nostrils as you
fill first the belly and then the lungs with air. Let your diaphragm
be inflated like a balloon, and see the air that you draw in as
the pure white light.
9. Now to the count of eight beats, hold in
the air and visualize it penetrating your physical form as the
essence of the Holy Spirit, which nourishes, stabilizes and balances
the interchange of energy in the physical atoms, molecules and
cells.
10. Visualize this sacred energy flowing through
your veins, moving through your nervous system, anchoring the
essence of the balancing energies of the Holy Spirit in your four
lower bodies and absorbing from them all impurities, which you
now see being flushed out of your system as you exhale to the
count of eight beats.
Let the exhalation be deliberate and disciplined
as you slowly release the air as though it were
a substance being pressed out of a tube. You may round your lips
to increase the tension of the exhalation. See and feel that breath
being pushed out from the very pit of the stomach. You may lean
forward if this helps to press out the last bit of air remaining
in the diaphragm.
11. Now let your head resume an erect posture,
and hold without inbreathing or outbreathing to the final count
of eight beats.
12. Repeat this exercise daily, as you are physically
able, until you have established a rhythm —mentally counting,
if you wish, "One and two and three and four and five and
six and seven and eight and one and two and three and"—and
so forth. Be careful that in your zeal you do not overdo. Each
one must in Christ discern his capacity, which may be anywhere
from one to twelve repetitions of the exercise per daily session.
Lower bodies |
This fourfold exercise is for the balancing
of the four lower bodies. The inbreath comes through the etheric
body; the first hold is an action of energizing through the mental
body; the outbreath is the release through the emotional body;
and the final hold is for the anchoring in the physical form of
the balanced action of Father, Son, Mother and Holy Spirit.
13. When you have mastered the inbreathing,
holding, outbreathing and holding in this fashion and the accompanying
visualization of the sacred fire releasing light, energizing the
consciousness, extracting impurities, and finally anchoring the
energies of the Christ, then—and only then-you may add to
your exercise the affirmation "I AM Alpha and Omega"
to the count of eight beats. This you mentally affirm once for
each of the four steps of the exercise. This affirmation is for
the establishment within you of the cloven tongues of fire, the
twin flames of the Holy Spirit that are the energies of the Father-Mother
God.
By thus invoking these energies and using the
breath as the means to convey that energy to the four lower bodies
and to anchor it in the physical form, you will be building the
balanced action
of the caduceus—the intertwining of the Alpha and Omega
spirals along the spine that are for the ultimate victory of the
masculine and feminine polarity that raises the energies of the
chakras, merges in the heart as the Christ and flowers in the
crown as the Buddhic enlightenment of the thousand-petaled lotus
. . .
Thousand-petaled Lotus

I place my Electronic Presence with each one
as the guardian action of the sacred fire—I AM the guard—during
the period of your meditation on the fire breath and your exercise
of integration through the eighth ray.
Djwal Kul's Breathing Exercise is taken from
chapter eight of Intermediate Studies of the Human Aura by Djwal
Kul. It builds on the foundations laid by Kuthumi in his Studies
of the Human Aura and by Djwal Kul in Intermediate Studies of
the Human Aura. It is a practical exercise for the purification
and balancing of the four lower bodies by the Light of God and
the sacred fire breath of God.
For maximum benefit from this Alpha-to-Omega
breath meditation, give "I AM Light" by Kuthumi nine
times before and nine times after Djwal Kul's Breathing Exercise.
May this be your 46-day Lenten offering from Ash Wednesday, to
Easter Sunday.
I AM Light
by Kuthumi
I AM Light, glowing Light
Radiating Light, intensified Light
God consumes my darkness,
Transmuting it into Light.
This day I AM a focus of the Central Sun
Flowing through me is a crystal river,
A living fountain of Light
That can never be qualified
By human thought and feeling
I AM an outpost of the Divine
Such darkness as has used me is swallowed up
By the mighty river of Light which I AM.
I AM, I AM, I AM Light
I live, I live, I live in Light
I AM Light's fullest dimension
I AM Light's purest intention
I AM Light, Light, Light
Flooding the world everywhere I move,
Blessing, strengthening and conveying
The purpose of the kingdom of heaven. (9x)
The Messenger recommends that students
reread Studies of the Human Aura and Intermediate Studies of the
Human Aura in preparation for the initiation to be given by Djwal
Kul at the 1992 Easter Conference, "The Descent of the Crystal
Fire Mist," April 15-19.
