Hello and welcome to Episode 4 of the Foundations of the Ascended Master Path. In our last episode, we asked whether Jesus is the only Christ — and we saw that he came not to exclude humanity from divine sonship, but to demonstrate it.

So, today the question becomes practical: If the Christ lives within me, how do I awaken it?

Many Christians struggle here. They believe Jesus was divine — but they quietly assume they could never be like him. But that is not what Jesus said. He said: “He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”

So, think about that. Greater works. If someone said that today and it were not recorded in Scripture, many would call it blasphemy. But Jesus said it.

How is that possible? The Ascended Master understanding is very simple and very powerful:

We do greater works because we become one with him — and he overshadows and empowers us. Remember, there is only one Son of God, one Christ. The Christ in you is the same Christ in Christ Jesus.

When we call for our souls to be one with Jesus, one with our Holy Christ Self, and one with God, there is a multiplication of empowerment.

Jesus is not replaced. Rather Christ is magnified through us. What Jesus accomplished is lawful for us to accomplish. He demonstrated it publicly so that we would know it is possible.

Let me give you a very human example. There was a story of a mother at home with her children. Suddenly her toddler collapsed. The child’s lips were turning blue from lack of oxygen.

Panicked, the mother ran into the hallway crying out for help. No one answered. And then something shifted. A deep calm settled over her. Instead of hysteria, clarity came.

She remembered her training. She laid the child down and began mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Later she described the moment by saying, “It was almost like I stepped outside myself. Something took over.”

That night, when everything was calm again, her older daughter quietly asked, “Mommy, who was the man with his hand on your shoulder?”

The mother hadn’t seen anyone. But the child had. Now whether that presence was her Holy Christ Self or an Ascended Master or an angel assisting, the point is this: In a moment of crisis, when fear could have taken control, harmony opened the door to overshadowing.

The Christ Mind took over and that is what Jesus meant. The “greater works” do not come from the carnal mind. They come from alignment with the Christ Mind.

Archangel Jophiel teaches that if we want to truly be in control of our lives, we must access the Christ Mind — because the human mind simply does not have all the answers. In fact, it actually can be confusing us.

So how do we maintain that contact? Here is the key: Harmony. Your Holy Christ Self does not dwell in discord. When you are angry, argumentative, resentful, or vibrating in chaos, you move out of alignment. The Christ Self appears to withdraw. But in reality, you moved away from that divine self by your out of alignment state.

Light cannot fully anchor in disharmony. And the moment you reestablish harmony and move back into alignment, contact can be restored.

This is where the violet flame becomes practical. When you feel yourself in reaction, in irritation, or in fear — stop.

Call for the violet flame and ask that the misqualified energy be transmuted. Declare your wholeness and harmony once again and repeat this mantra:

“I AM a being of violet fire, I AM the purity God desires.” You can repeat this mantra once or multiple times, focusing totally on the violet fire, the violet color surrounding you and transmuting any and all energies in your aura that are less than that Christ. You can repeat it verbally, which is preferable and more powerful, or mentally if you are in a situation where you cannot verbally repeat it. And as harmony returns, your Christ Self draws near again.

Is there a key to maintaining harmony? Yes, Love is the key. Send love to the people you pass on the street. That’s a great experiment. Give it a try. Send love to the person who disagrees with you.

Do not argue unnecessarily. Because every argument strengthens the lower vibration. Peace strengthens alignment. You are not asked to be weak. You are asked to be congruent.

Speak as you believe Christ would speak — with love, but with firmness when necessary, and with mercy when it’s due.

Think as Christ would think. Act as Christ would act. And gradually something remarkable happens: The mind of God begins to synchronize with your mind.

This is not mystical fantasy. It is disciplined imitation of Christ. This is why the path is sometimes called the “Imitation of Christ.” Not imitation in pretense — but imitation in vibration.

The more you align your thoughts, words, and actions with the Christic pattern, the more the overshadowing becomes natural. And suddenly you realize: You’re calmer under pressure. You’re clearer in crisis. You’re kinder under provocation, and stronger but without aggression.

This is how the Christ awakens. Not through spectacle. But through consistency. You do not leave your life. You transform it. And you begin to understand something profound: The Christ within you has always been ready. It was waiting for your cooperation.

In our next episode, we’ll explore another important layer: What is the relationship between the Christ Self and the I AM Presence, and what are the components of your Divine identity?

Until then, remember this: You are not trying to become divine. OneYou are learning to live from the divinity that is already within you.
