Daniel

Valuable excerpt and I enjoyed it.Thanks.
The purpose of my post was to identify anyone whoīs ever heard of it and not to discuss the veraciousness of the rituals.
Yes I aggree with the statements that our acts cannot be obliterated from karma.
As I did not takealso in the statements of "". . . The Path is never closed..." 
There are many techniques imbedded in these rituals that , using thoughtforms, can help ones to attain onesī goal.

Subject: Theos-World Compare "Men can 'burn' bad karma" with Master KH on"future acts"


Krishtar,

You wrote in part:

-----------------------------------------------
In Brazil there was a spiritual movement in the 
80-90īs called "Ponte para a Liberdade" ( means: 
Bridge for freedom) based in claimed chanellings 
of Saint Germain.it is alleged that the so called 
"Violet Flame", an egregora created by the Masterīs 
efforts, in which Men can " burn" bad karma and 
the lower aspects of his character.

It is said that through invocations of many mantras 
called "appellations" -( kind of litany) one can 
improve the spiritual status or accelerate the 
evolution of the soul...

The ritual also included the burning of a bonfire 
in which everybody throwed sheets of paper where 
ones have written down the negative aspects he 
wanted to transform or the spiritual needs he 
wanted to be helped in.
--------------------------------------------------

Compare the above with what Master Koot Hoomi wrote
to Francesca Arundale in 1884:

---------------------------------------------------
". . . The Path is never closed; but in proportion to one's 
previous errors so is it harder to find and to tread. In the eyes of 
the 'Masters' no one is ever 'utterly condemned'. As the lost jewel 
may be recovered from the very depths of the tank's mud, so can
the most abandoned snatch himself from the mire of sin, if only the 
precious Gem of Gems, the sparkling germ of the Atma, is developed. 
Each of us must do that for himself, each can if he but will and 
persevere. Good resolutions are mind-painted pictures of good deeds: 
fancies, day-dreams, whisperings of the Buddhi to the Manas. If we 
encourage them they will not fade away like a dissolving mirage in 
the Shamo desert, but grow stronger and stronger until one's
whole life becomes the expression and outward proof of the divine 
motive within." 

"Your acts . . . cannot be obliterated, for they are 
indelibly stamped upon the record of Karma, and neither tears nor 
repentance can blot the page. But you have the power to more than 
redeem and balance them by future acts. . . . There are innumerable 
pages of your life-record still to be written up; fair and blank they 
are as yet. . . . Seize the diamond pen and inscribe them with the 
history of noble deeds, days well spent, years of holy striving. So 
will you win your way ever upward to the higher planes of spiritual 
consciousness. Fear not, faint not, be faithful to the ideal you can 
now dimly see. . . . "

20
