The master can better help us if we give his [[mantra]], “I AM Light.” This mantra is for the development of a tremendous momentum of white light and the wisdom of God. It is to bring us to the realization that God can and does dwell within us. When we draw nigh to him, he draws nigh to us, and the angelic hosts also gather for the strengthening of the [[aura]]. In his book ''Studies of the Human Aura'', Kuthumi speaks of a threefold exercise using the “I AM Light” mantra that students can give for the purpose of strengthening the sheath of the aura so that they can maintain the consciousness of Christ, of God, of Buddha, of Mother. | The master can better help us if we give his [[mantra]], “I AM Light.” This mantra is for the development of a tremendous momentum of white light and the wisdom of God.

<div align=center>'''I AM Light'''<br /> | |||
By Kuthumi</div> | |||
: | <div style="margin-left: 20%;"> | ||
I AM light, glowing light,<br /> | |||
Radiating light, intensified light.<br /> | |||
God consumes my darkness,<br /> | |||
Transmuting it into light. | |||
This day I AM a focus of the Central Sun.<br /> | |||
Flowing through me is a crystal river,<br /> | |||
A living fountain of light<br /> | |||
That can never be qualified<br /> | |||
By human thought and feeling.<br /> | |||
I AM an outpost of the Divine.<br /> | |||
Such darkness as has used me is swallowed up<br /> | |||
By the mighty river of light which I AM. | |||
I AM, I AM, I AM light;<br /> | |||
I live, I live, I live in light.<br /> | |||
I AM light’s fullest dimension;<br /> | |||
I AM light’s purest intention.<br /> | |||
I AM light, light, light<br /> | |||
Flooding the world everywhere I move,<br /> | |||
Blessing, strengthening and conveying<br /> | |||
The purpose of the kingdom of heaven. | |||

<blockquote>... the most important part of any experience you have is not what is flung your way but ''your reaction to it''. Your reaction is the determination of your place on the ladder of attainment. Your reaction enables us to act or not to act. Your reaction to anything or everything shows us the fruit that has ripened in you from all of our prior teaching and loving and support as well as discipline.... | <blockquote> | ||

Thus, from this hour, if you will call to me and make a determination in your heart to transcend the former self, I will tutor you both through your own heart and any messenger I may send your way. Therefore, heed the voices—not astral but physical—and watch the course of events.... Thus, I come in many guises.<ref>Ibid.</ref> | |||
