Would you agree with this?

Have you seen many examples of this? (Hopefully, this can be rendered
harmless.)

Bruce,

Since you are curious and I am a student of the I AM and have been for
about 15 years, perhaps I can say something helpful to you so you won't be
so concerned about them hurting people.

I can hold an image of Blue Lightning and stand within it. In fact, many of
the decrees are aimed at purifying "ourselves" with this same force. Only
once do I remember a case where I believed I was being "hurt" with this
Blue Lightning and I (telepathically) relayed to the person that she was
using her "human" energy to impose a painful sensation along with the
Ascended Master Blue Lightning. (There are also a blue flame and a blue
sword, blue mantle, etc.) When I mentioned this, she immediately withheld
the pain from it.

We do quite a bit of "annihilating and purifying" and this is aimed only at
destructive or inharmonious or discordant conditions on earth. When we hear
"annihilation of all that is human," as well as other concepts you might
not be familiar with, you have to appreciate that there is a certain
understanding in using this phrase with which you may need to acquaint
yourself. I think I have tried to explain this idea previously, so I won't
go into detail, but I would like to add that it includes all human
accumulated effects (or karma) in the energies exterior to our persons, as
well, such as human creation that has contaminated elements, plants, etc.
Purifying means freeing the beings of the elements from man's misuse of the
cosmic forces. This misuse is generally a result of ignorance as to their
existence.

When all physical substance is purified of human creation, such as
accumulated hate, prejudice, selfishness, the physical world will be
transmuted into one in which Ascended Masters feel comfortable. This is my
interpretation of the material. When human creation is annihilated,
ascended master light substance is sent into the substance purified to
replace what was taken out.

Think carefully about what happens when something is destroyed. Let's take
as an example a fly. When we hit the fly with the fly swatter, some of us
like to send it heavenward, at very least it will reincarnate. When we
annihilate accumulated discord, it is "consumed" and yet the life within we
know to continue to live, so perhaps it ascends to an unmanifest state for
a time being, and then returns to earth clothed in new forms.

What new ideas I am approaching with my continued study concern after death
life or ascension and the existence within the Causal Body. I can picture
it as a blazing sun of love and light, but there are so many things we
don't know about this existence. I would say it isn't Devachan, but a new
life for man. Our forms (in this case the causal bodies) could serve as
vehicles if developed to a point of maturity for us to experience life even
without lower bodies.

Bruce, what would you say to continuing this conversation privately? I
don't believe the people here really view this as a theosophical discussion
and I would be glad to exchange more thoughts with you on this subject
where we can continue to our heart's content.
