The Threefold Flame The heart is the repository for the flame of God. This flame is the essence of God, blazing within. Power, Wisdom, Love ✿ The Blue plume of Spiritual Power relates to Faith, Good Will and the Divine Intent and embodies the desire of the soul to fully surrender and do the will of God. It is the quality of thrust toward one’s goal as an inner resolve and power to accomplish. It symbolizes an ability to take leadership and inspire others. ✿ The Golden Yellow plume represents the Divine Wisdom and relates to Illumination, to the right use of Knowledge, and to the expansion of the Intelligence of the Godhead into the chalice of the heart and mind. It is a love of learning, understanding and imbibing of God qualities , the Buddha mind and a desire to impart what one has learned to others. ✿ The Pink plume represents Divine Love and provides the Qualities of Mercy, Kindness, Compassion, Integrity, Justice, and Creativity, Purity, Beauty, the very nature of God. This unconditional love knows the difference between sympathy, a debilitating emotion, and empathy, a strengthening one. It is not smothering or controlling but supportive and freeing. The ideal is that these plumes are balanced within us so that power is tempered with love and love is saturated with wisdom. Leaders without love become tyrants. Parents who do not balance love with discipline rear children that are likely to be irresponsible and self-centered. In reality, altruistic love is the perfect balance of the three plumes—an empowering and wise compassion that expresses the essence of God’s being in ways that loves and honors all life. The Sacred Trinity of Power, Wisdom, and Love, that is the Manifestation of the Sacred Fire. The Threefold Flame is the Sun Center and Source of Life to the physical body. The expansion of a person's Threefold Flame brings one closer to his/her own eternal Freedom in the Ascension. The Fleur de Lis The fleur de lis design, seen in architecture, on national flags and even adopted as the insignia of the Boy Scouts of America is an archetype of this God-flame, and our souls know it intimately. But most of our threefold flames are not so perfectly designed. The plumes vary depending on the qualities that have been developed by the individual in this and past lifetimes. Esoteric teachings tell us that most people walking this earth carry a threefold flame that is very tiny, measuring less than one-sixteenth of an inch in height. God’s desire is that our focus be on the balancing and expanding of this flame so that it will one day envelope our entire being as it does the great masters now ascended. In The Hearts Center, many current teachings remind us of this goal. The Heart of Lord Lanto An Eastern saint of long ago named Lord Lanto was able to materialize this flame in the center of his chest so others could see it blazing there as a tangible witness to our connection with God. Catholic depictions of Jesus and Mary often show the flame burning within their Sacred Hearts. It is exciting to know that modern-day students of the teachings have come to feel this flame physically present in their hearts. Some refer to this feeling as a warmth, some as a burning. More important than the feeling though is the transformation taking place within their lives as devotion to this flame grows. http://www.theheartscenter.org/Teachings/WisdomTeachings/TheThreefoldFlame/tabid/367/Default.aspx
