Chapter 6
“Overcoming Doubts and Fears”
The Role of Doubts and Fears:
These doubts and fears which “dog our paths” are not without purpose, the Beings of Light tell us! And their purpose is to “spur us onward” in our path to the Light! “If you did not have a challenge, as a human being, you would not learn these Earthly lessons in the energies of duality, as you are meant to do,” they tell us. So there IS a higher purpose with all of this! It is not just “pain and torment without end!” And the pain and torment WILL end — as soon as we learn the lesson – which is, of course, that we do not need to be ruled or influenced by these lower energies and thought forms, which do have their place and purpose on the Earth. But it is to cause us to learn and to grow into the TRUE knowledge of who we are! Not to believe them! It is truly a “time of testing” for each of us when these doubts and fears arise!
The doubts and fears about our self-worth and abilities are often the things that hold us back the most from expressing who we really are! We remember the pains and traumas from our childhood where we were misunderstood or told that we could not possibly do the things we felt we were meant to do. These types of experiences can cause unbelievable emotional pain in the growing child and greatly hinder further growth. Many of us, if not ALL of us, have been “stepped on” in this way, causing us to severely doubt our abilities, or even our “right to exist” as we truly are.
Often we hide the pain and memories of these events – even from ourselves! But they never go away until we “turn and face them!” Lady Portia has said that when we do face our worst fears about ourselves and know that they never were true, then nothing else can EVER control us! And she is right! As long as we are running from them and trying to evade them, and pretending that they do not exist, they continue to operate in our systems. The only way to be free of them — once and for all — is to have the courage to confront them head-on and see them for the lies that they really are.
Overcoming Doubts and Fears:
We can do this by claiming our true identity as a “sovereign being in our own space”—knowing that we have the ability to decide right now in present time what IS and IS NOT true about us, and realizing that each of us is a “Child of the Divine” – created by the Source which has created All-That-Is! Our true identity is held eternally within the consciousness of the Creator presence, which does not make a mistake! We are divine beings – having a human experience! And when we fully realize and embrace this truth about ourselves, then nothing else can ever frighten us or take control of our minds and systems!
It is about focus – focusing our awareness on the truth of who we are, and not allowing ourselves to be frightened or distracted by any lower thoughts or energies. We have the ability to express who we really are – NOW – in this moment! It doesn’t have to take years and years of self-analysis or pain before we can come to this place within ourselves. All it takes is BELIEF! Our belief in ourselves – to eliminate the doubts and fears that “we are not enough somehow” or that we are “deficient in some way that we do not understand.” These types of feelings and beliefs happen when we, as children, do not meet the expectations of the adults around us, and they express their displeasure in who we are. Often, they never take the time to fully communicate with us and explain HOW we have displeased them. Often, it does not really have anything to do with US at all! They are upset about other factors in their lives that they feel THEY cannot control. And so they take their feelings of helplessness, inadequacy, etc., out on whoever is standing the closest to them at the moment. Unfortunately, they often choose a non-threatening “target” such as a child whom they know cannot “fight back” by telling them the truth of the situation: that they are really angry with their spouse or some other factor in their lives which is the source of their frustration.
It is an old story, this type of thing. And, unfortunately, this has gone on far too long in our human history: the attacks on children because people are afraid to confront the true source of their pain and frustration. But this does not have to continue within us! We can be free of these dynamics in our systems by “shining the Light” of our conscious awareness squarely upon them – and seeing these things dissolve in the Violet Transmuting Flame, when we invoke and sustain its presence all around us. It can work to dissolve these things even when we are not consciously aware that this is happening, because we have invoked its presence with the intention that it blaze around us 24/7!
The Violet Transmuting Flame has amazing ability to free humanity from “all number of ills” when we create our sacred connection to the Divine and invoke its presence and action in our lives. We do not have to constantly be dwelling upon it, Count St. Germain tells us, if we will do a strong invocation in the morning, and then think of continuing this connection at various times during the day. “It will work, on its own, through the Divine Consciousness which it certainly possesses – for your benefit, day and night without ceasing, once it has been invoked by the student who is dedicated to serving the action of Light.”
“And this is what I can recommend to you, to alleviate all this hurts and fears, which are certainly unnecessary for all of you at the present time! You have come too far, and you are too advanced to allow this type of thing to disrupt your consciousness – for you have work to do! – All of you! In working to establish the rule of Love and Light on your planet, the Earth, at this important and pivotal time in her evolutionary process! You are needed, each of you, to do your work NOW – for the Light! So focus your consciousness toward the Light, and not toward these senseless and meaningless forms of hypnotism and distraction by those forces which are not oriented to the action of Light on this planet.”

Energy Exercise
Take a moment to be with yourself after reading the words of this chapter.
Realize what images or memories this may have brought up within you.
If you wish, take a piece of paper and write about your experiences that you are remembering. It can be as detailed as you want, or merely a listing of how you felt at different times in your life, and the experiences that caused these feelings.
If you feel it would benefit you, you might want to write a letter to each person that you feel hurt or harmed you in any way. When you finish a letter, put all the emotions and energies into the flames as you burn the letter. (Be sure to go outside to a fire-proof area and use a receptacle such as a metal garbage can with a metal grate inside for safe burning of these things.)
Open your Sacred Space and use the Invocation of the Violet Transmuting Flame to clear yourself of the energies of these painful memories.
Lady Portia has said that it is beneficial to ask these old memories and emotions to “stand outside your space” and be transmuted into the hands of the Angels (whom you have requested to assist you.) These can be the Angels of the Sacred Violet Flame, if you wish.
