Hi Krishtar-




I think that group was derivative or allied with the many iterations 
of the I Am movement, the Church Universal, the groups formed by a 
couple who took the name Prophet- one of whom has died, the other, the 
woman now reportedly in the latter stages of Alzheimers/dementia. It's 
the "Violet Flame" part that I think is similiar.




They were, [imo] self-appointed messengers who made a potpourri 
mainly of the voluminous information of Alice Bailey, then took their 
show on the road with much purported channellings, messages, etc- all 
in a (imo) simpery, contrived "language of the Masters". They 
attracted thousands who believed their 'message'. Their books were 
prettily illustrated with "portraits" of the Mahatmas, esoteric 
drawings derived from everyone that had preceded them, and filled with 
gibberish purporting to be authentic teachings, etc.




Personally, I think that Elizabeth Clare Prophet's ongoing 
diminishing due to Alzheimer's says all one needs to know about any 
authenticity of her movement. If one knows anything about the brain 
and meditation.....Alzheimer's should be the last thing a genuine 
"messenger of the Mahatmas" would die of, including leprosy, suicide, 
a piano falling on one's head...[imo] 


As to your question of burning karma in bonfires, that is an old 
tradition of physicalizing negative ideas or attitudes and then 
symbolically burning them. It depends on the concentration and level 
of belief, I'd say.




regards-




Ali
