Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels.

Saint Germain I AM, and I come with a momentum of the Seventh Ray of freedom that is little known and little understood, even to ascended master students, and that is the momentum of victory. Truly, when you have gone through the initiations of the six rays, you have built a momentum. You know you can pass your tests, you know that whatever we, the Chohans, throw at you, you are able to deal with it, to step back, to look at yourself, to overcome anything in your psychology that stands in your way and then to surrender, to let go. In letting go, you begin to feel a new energy rising within you, and that is the momentum of victory on the Seventh Ray of Freedom.

Truly, when you realize that you are more than anything in this world – when you realize that you are more than any sense of self you have built through all of your embodiments – how can you fail to realize, that you can overcome, transcend and be free from any condition on earth, and any condition in your own psychology? How can you, then, fail to feel this bubbling joy of victory coming up from the depth of your being?

Meeting Saint Germain face to face

That is, then, when you and I can meet, and I can appear to you, stand before you, not as this God-like figure high above you, but I can stand before you and look at you as an equal. You can accept me as an equal, and we can therefore share in a moment of oneness, total oneness, of knowing that we have united in freedom!

For we are both god-free beings. I am a unique individual; you are a unique individual. I am not requiring you to be something you are not, and you are not afraid that I will require you to be something you are not. That is, indeed, when we can transcend into a new awareness where we both go beyond the student-teacher relationship. We, indeed, unite in that Flame of Freedom whereby you, as the one in embodiment, become an open door for giving that Flame of Freedom to all that you meet, the Flame of Freedom that I AM and that I am willing to stream through you when we attain that oneness. This, then, is the vision of your potential when you attain some mastery on the seven rays.

A special opportunity to attain freedom

Surely, those of you who have gone through these initiations of the first six rays, you have made mighty strides towards this ultimate victory of freedom. I am sure you realize that from the moment you were born, and, of course, going back many lifetimes on this planet, the culture and the fallen beings, and even well-meaning human beings (such as your parents and teachers and siblings) have done almost everything possible to hammer down your creative drive and your creative freedom. They have made you so afraid to express yourself that most people dare not even be creative. They have even put upon you that your creativity should live up to a standard predefined by some institution or authority on earth.

How can freedom be predefined? Creativity is the unknown – is that which has never before been seen – so how can creativity follow a predefined standard? It simply cannot be done, my beloved. Thus, you will never be truly free until you dare to go beyond all of the man-made standards, even those that have been created based on a valid spiritual teaching. Even students of the ascended masters have created a standard for themselves and each other, and in many cases they built even an organizational culture that limited the creativity of the members. This, of course, will not get you to the point of knowing the freedom of victory on the Seventh Ray.

How can you know victory when you think you have to blindly follow an outer standard—that is not the Christ-standard but a standard based on the consciousness of anti-christ? This, of course, will never lead you to freedom, and it will never lead you to victory.

Visiting the Cave of Symbols

As you use the invocations in this book, you will be taken, if you are willing, to my spiritual retreat, called the Cave of Symbols—no matter where it is located. It has been said in the past that it was located over a mountain called Table Mountain in the state of Wyoming in the United States, but can there really be a physical location that can confine the Retreat of Freedom?

Nay, for the Retreat of Freedom is more than anything else a state of consciousness that is not localized. It is non-local, and therefore if you think you can go to a certain physical location and sit there and meditate on me and I will appear to you, you are, of course, mistaken. You can meditate on me in consciousness, but you must be willing to shift your consciousness. You see my beloved, I will not come to you; I will not come down to a certain level of human consciousness. When you come to the initiations of the Seventh Ray, you must come up, for that is what you have been prepared to do by the first six rays.
