What is the Violet Flame?

Violet is the 7th color of the rainbow. If you look at a rainbow you will see in order red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. These colors emerge from clear light and return into clear light. They are not created from it, but exist as an intrinsic part of light at all times. However, a rainbow, crystal, prism, or even a drop of water can reveal those hidden qualities. Each quality is not just a color but aspect of Divine Consciousness. Red is associated with desire, power, energy, and the root chakra, while violet is associated with inspiration, enlightenment, transformation, liberation, and the crown chakra. It is the transformative quality of Violet Fire with which we are concerned here. It is not actually a fire or flame in the normal sense, but an aspect of consciousness that frees one from past delusion, karma, negative attachment and emotion, and raises one into a state of forgiveness, compassion, transcendent awareness, freedom, and liberation. The Violet Flame is invoked through love, compassion, and the power of visualization. More detailed instructions are in Peter’s books and YouTube videos.
Saint Germain is the Chohan (Lord) of the 7th or Violet Ray. Obviously he did not create violet light as it is a universal aspect of consciousness that permeates all reality, but in 1930 he received permission from the Karmic Board of the Great White Brotherhood to teach humanity of its power so they could more easily free themselves and attain the Ascension. The Goddess who releases that activity of the Violet Flame into the human world of Earth is the Violet Tara. In 2019, Saint Germain visibly appeared to Peter Mt. Shasta and asked him to write about Violet Tara, which took the form of the book, I AM the Violet Tara, Goddess of Forgiveness and Freedom. Later books are: I AM Violet Tara in Action, Lessons in Mastery, and I AM Violet Tara, Books I & II, all of which can be downloaded as pdf files or ordered in paperback from Amazon.

Experiences Working With The Violet Flame
Many others have had powerful experiences calling upon the Violet Flame and practicing Violet Tara meditations. Some of these are among the experiences recounted in Peter Mt. Shasta's book I Am Violet Tara in Action. Others were shared recently by members of our community.
The first Violet Tara webinar with Peter was so beautiful and so powerful that, after the webinar, I remained in the Violet Tara energy all through the night and into the morning, meditating on Violet Tara and repeating: “I AM Violet Tara of Forgiveness." I brought in the anger and all the experiences that I needed to forgive, as well as the need for self- forgiveness. I remained in the Violet Tara energy and continued to repeat: “I Am Violet Tara of Forgiveness.”In the morning, when I emerged from meditation, all of the anger and resentment against others and myself were totally gone, and all that I could feel was Love. Now, I am feeling only Love.

I had an errand in a mall and this time it was totally different than ever before. As I was walking the halls, I was inwardly blessing everyone with the Violet Fire and I felt the energy run through and around me. I felt totally sheltered from any disturbing energies. I finished my errand and walked out, feeling no drainage or fatigue, which is new for me. What a wonderful change.

After practicing the Violet Tara meditation and taking your weekly webinar, I’ve noticed a shift in my overall mental and emotional state. I’m sometimes overwhelmed with love and acceptance for all of humanity and anyone I encounter during my day. I know Violet Tara is working with me on many levels. I am now viewing past events through a different lens, one of love and forgiveness.

I have experienced profound transformations in my relationships with people through silently declaring “I AM the Violet Tara working in and throughout my life, world and affairs.”
DECLARING “I AM the Resurrection and the Life” has also had an incredible impact on every area of my life, from relationships, to finances, clearing out clutter in our environment....The list could go on and on.
I have worked with the Violet Flames and the I AM teachings for 45 years sporadically. I would share that Peter’s teaching of these declarations has helped me immensely because he has put them in the context of Saint Germain and Violet Tara and thereby remembering to apply them to Every situation. Somehow I had forgotten to truly ask for help and be open to receiving it in love and trust. This is the most amazing transformation I have ever experienced!
I now understand I must constantly keep my awareness focused at all times on the Violet Flame and call it into action in each and every situation I encounter, and to step back internally to allow the Presence to come forward.
Acknowledging the Presence constantly is the gift you have taught me Peter...focusing my heart, mind and soul and then trusting, all is accomplished. Deepest love and gratitude,

I have used I AM mantras for over 35 years starting long ago with the summit lighthouse chanting at times with hundreds of people in the same room and it was at times overwhelming as to the amount of light that was invoked and the vibration of the heaven worlds was palpable and lifted me out out of along of depressed states in my early twenties....It reawakened very subtle feelings and codes of light and gave me a new reason for being and for assisting the healing of my emotional body and the planet....I continued the journey for many years in one way or another. They continue to fill me with harmony, and grace, and the glory of God and the ascended life to come....The affirmations have assisted in some dramatic healings for family members where there was direct intercession. I saw it happen by great master of healing by simply offering a few affirmations to Quan Yin and invoking the violet flame that stripped away years of heroin addiction from my niece who had been thru rehab seven times, and who fully recovered when purged of her demons....All glory to the great God flame...that is I AM, and these affirmations....Amen!

Hello Peter and thank you Lily for making the suggestion to share. The Violet Consuming Flame and the Beloved Ascended Masters helped me immensely and changed my life was when I was working in Baltimore. I walked around the city calling to the Beloved Archangel Michael and his sword of blue flame, beloved Saint Germain, beloved Jesus and his beloved Mother Mary, constantly blazing the Violet Flame around me, asking God to please help me and show me the right thing to do. I never failed to blaze the Violet Flame through the big hospital across the street and all over that neighborhood in Baltimore every day during those seven years. And I still do. I am eternally grateful for all of the lessons and gifts I received. Thank you for letting me share. THE LOVE AND THE LIGHT OF GOD NEVER FAILS AND THE MAGIC MIGHTY VIOLET FLAME IS THAT LIGHT. P.S. Lily your dad Peter is awesome and I have another story about how much he helped me and my daughter Laura in the beginning of the Covid pandemic. Truly a Master your dad is....

My daily affirmation is “Mighty I AM Presence go before me and see that All is Perfection.” I keep a small picture of The I AM Presence in the wallet of my phone. The Violet Flame is awesome, and helped me through many challenges and tests. I do the meditation and play Violet Flame music. Love to All from Jersey Channel Islands, UK. Violet Flame to the Planet in Love and Gratitude.

The Violet Flame assisted me from 1978 until 1998 without my conscious call. It would simply flash when I called on God's help in various situations. After 1998, however, I have been assisted in all aspects of life by calling consciously for the Violet Flame.

Using the I AM affirmations and Violet Tara practice has made me more in tune with my intuition or inner guidance. It helps me feel like I can provide a service for humanity. I've used it on my plants and have seem them flourish. In one case a plant that we all thought was dead even came back to life. I've also noticed I'll find myself in the right time at the right place where I'll come across strangers and friends I haven't seen in a while that are in need of a loving ear. Life is sweeter, more vivacious. Thank you Ascended Masters and Peter for sharing this knowledge, a true boon for humanity.

Use of I AM affirmations has given a grounding to my meditation practice, which was getting stale or losing efficacy with the needs of outer world demanding my attention.... In reading your book, Adventures of a Western Mystic: Apprentice to the Masters, I was led to use Arch Angel Michael's Blue Sword to cut all cords in my life.
That was just a few weeks ago, & now I am....finding new opportunities to connect with others in my life. I attribute a new job offer... and a new love relationship....to my using the I AM statements.

Peter, yes your teaching have helped, especially your videos on YouTube. That’s how I found you and your super clear teachings. You have mastered taking complicated tantric practices and making them available and understandable, super potent! Like distilled but with enough background to understand the concept and made graspable and therefore super effective! My daily life since I found your teachings has vastly improved-I love the Violet Tara practice and invocation. I love the heart meditation that Pearl taught as well. It’s so healing. And I love the Padmasambhava chant that resonates and is super potent. I love your books and I’m currently reading Apprentice to the Masters. I love how you share your personal experiences and practices in a way that makes it all REAL! Your work has helped me on my journey in so many ways, and I always recommend your books to my students. You are a living testament, so from the bottom of my deepest heart. I put on your books when I’m anxious, and it’s so helpful every time. 💜 I Thank you Peter.

For me, just the presence of Peter Mt. Shasta here on the earth has given me a sense of home — a sense of okayness about life — and I am so thankful for his teachings.

Your work has been a great blessing to me personally on so many levels. May God richly bless you and keep you eternally in divine peace.
