<blockquote>Por tanto, amados, vengo a deciros que podéis considerar el camino del discipulado como mil escaleras sobre una espiral dorada de mil niveles; y que hay, paso a paso, un sendero ordenado de disciplina. Estos maestros que han patrocinado a vuestra mensajera y esta actividad, que han apoyado a Jesús en el establecimiento a través de los mensajeros de la verdadera Iglesia Universal y Triunfante en la Tierra, han considerado procedente establecer un ritual ordenado, porque son plenamente conscientes de lo que hace falta para subir uno de esos escalones.</blockquote>

During the last two years of her life she developed a large tumor on her knee, which she kept a secret as long as she could so she would not be relieved of her duties, as portrayed in the film ''The Song of Bernadette'' (1943) based on Franz Werfel’s novel by the same name.</ref> must be seen as archetypal of the soul who, bearing her karma, recognizes that she must clear the debris in each step of consciousness, scrubbing by the [[violet flame]] until that level of record and ideation is fully and wholly transmuted. In the process, she may mount a single step. In past ages it would take a soul perhaps an entire lifetime to mount a single step, for the only purging of [[karma]] and record and self, as well as its outcropping in the body as disease, would be manifest through prayer and works of penance.</blockquote>
<blockquote>La figura de la monja apesadumbrada con el cáncer en su cuerpo, ocultándolo a los demás y ocupándose de la tarea humilde de fregar las escaleras del enclave<ref></ref>, ha de considerarse como un arquetipo del alma que, siendo portadora de su propio karma, reconoce que debe limpiar la suciedad a cada paso de la conciencia, restregando con la llama violeta hasta que ese nivel de registro e ideación quede plena y totalmente transmutado. Durante el proceso, ella puede subir un único peldaño. En épocas pasadas un alma habría necesitado quizá toda una vida para subir un solo peldaño, porque la única purificación del karma, del registro y del yo, así como su afloramiento en el cuerpo como enfermedad, se habría manifestado mediante la oración y las obras de penitencia.</blockquote>


<blockquote>Thus, beloved, to know “how great, how great thou art, O God, my Father, my Mother, how great is the gift of the violet flame!” you must establish a co-measurement, a sense of realism that such a gift is also an experiment. For it is a dispensation for which ascended beings of the seventh ray, not the least of whom being your beloved [[Saint Germain]], have given this opportunity. And after a certain lapse of cycles, they will give accounting before the [[Lords of Karma]] and the [[four and twenty elders]] who stand round the great white throne, and they shall determine whether a people have taken that flame and used it only to deliver themselves of their discomforts, or whether they have used it seriously for the path of initiation as an adjunct, as a mighty assistance to the soul’s entering in.</blockquote>
