How to Get Your Life on Track with Violet Flame!

Some of our team members here at Violet Flame World recently moved to a small town in rural America.  At the heart of the town there is an active railroad.  In earlier times, the movement of people and goods was highly dependent on the railroad and therefore its location was often vital to the prosperity of towns where the railroad was located.

Today, airplanes and 18-wheeler trucks have taken over much of the former importance and dependence on the railroad; however, there are still many trains which pass through town daily carrying freight and other items from one city to another.  And late at night here in the countryside, you can hear the comforting train whistles in the distance – almost like a night watchman assuring that “all is well”, “all is well”. 

This newly acquired lifestyle brought to mind a story my parents read to me many times when I was little. The book was entitled the “The Little Engine That Could” and it was always one of my favorites. Written by Watty Piper and first published in 1930, this richly illustrated children’s (and adult’s!) story sold millions of copies and is full of simple yet profound morals and life lessons.

A summary of the story follows and we will also include a link to the book [1] at the end of this blog post. After all, you may want to read it to your own children some day!

Once upon a time, a very joyful train with lots of toys and good food was on its way to deliver its gifts to the good children who lived over the mountain. Suddenly, the joyful train broke down and was no longer able to make its wheels turn to make it up the mountain.

The passengers of the train waited patiently and hopefully for the arrival of another train to help pull them up the hill. Soon, a new and powerful engine came along but quickly concluded its time and purpose were much too important to help. So, the new and powerful engine went puffing and steaming away.

Later, an old engine came along and assessed the situation. The old engine concluded and affirmed “I am so tired” and “I can not” several times before chugging away.

Finally, a friendly, little blue engine arrived on the scene and asked kindly “What is the matter, my friends?”

The passengers told The Little Blue Engine their train was stuck and could not make it up the hill to its destination.

The little blue train had never been over the mountain but knew the good little boys and girls there would not have any toys or good food unless it helped.

So, the kindly blue train hitched itself to the little, broken train.  Slowly, it tugged and pulled all the while saying “I think I can – I think I can”

Faster and faster The Little Blue Engine climbed until at last they reached the top of the mountain. The triumphant Engine smiled knowing the good little boys and girls in the town would be happy because it had helped.

The Little Blue Engine was last seen puffing steadily down the mountain saying over and over… “I thought I could. I thought I could. I thought I could…”

This beautiful story teaches us many lessons including:

•  The great value of humility and kindness. The Little Blue Engine had no thought of self.  It was simply kind and wanted to help.  Contrast this with the powerful engine which thought its own mission was much too important for it to help.  

•  The willingness to try [2]. It is not just about capability but about the willingness to try. The Little Blue Engine was successful because it began by trying. Conversely, the powerful engine had the capability to help the broken train make it to the top of the mountain but was unwilling to try.

•  The importance of courage. Even though The Little Blue Engine had never been to the top of the mountain or the town on the other side, it understood the needs of others were more important than its doubts or fears of the unknown.  

•  The power of positive thinking and affirmation. The Little Blue Engine developed a positive mantra of sorts when it said repeatedly “I think I can – I think I can” and “I thought I could”!  Contrast this with the old locomotive which affirmed “I am so tired” and “I can not”.  

Whenever you encounter obstacles in your life or are trying to determine the right thing to do, we hope you will always remember the enduring spirit of the The Little Blue Engine!

How to Get Your Life on Track with Violet Flame

It is interesting the word “chakra” in Sanskrit means “wheel”.  Just like the train in The Little Engine That Could, our chakras or “wheels” can sometimes get stuck as we strive to make it to the top of the mountain.

Indeed, negative energy can slow our “wheels” down and make us feel sluggish, depressed, and even “broken”.  And this is where the profound benefits of the violet flame can help!

As we give the violet flame, it raises the vibratory rate of the electrons of our being. Our consciousness begins to rise and we draw nearer to our True Self where we feel more buoyant and joyful again.  Once we feel back “on track” we are ready to continue our journey up to the summit of the mountain!

Creating a Rolling Momentum with the Violet Flame

You may have heard about Mark Prophet sometime in your life. He worked tirelessly over many years to share the profound gift of the violet flame with the world. Mark masterfully used the image of a train picking up speed to teach us how to gain a rolling momentum of the violet flame.  In his words:

Now I’m going to play choo choo train with you. As we begin, it’s like a railroad train. When it first starts out, sometimes it’s so slow getting of the pad that it has to drop sand and it goes “shoop, shoop” and the wheels will spin around. “Shoop” – and they don’t go anyplace  [They don’t have enough traction.]

And then it gets a little momentum, a little sand gets caught – “shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop…” and then down the track it goes.  So, remember that this acceleration is an important thing.

So, visualize this violet flame around yourself and remember my demonstration of the train as we decree together:

I AM a being of violet fire - I AM the purity God desires!

I want you to take notice again of the increase of the vibrational frequency and how it has the tendency to act as a centrifuge, to throw off the emotional whirl of human despair and to replace it by a vibrational aspect similar to negatively charged ions that can be recognized after a rainstorm. You will observe how it gives a feeling of élan, of vibrancy, of buoyancy, of vitality, of awareness of God. [3]

Are you ready to begin getting your life on track with the violet flame? If so, the Violet Flame Express is ready to depart the station as soon as you get on board! Your destiny awaits. And remember, the destination is always higher consciousness!

Until next time…

"I think I can - I think I can"
