The Chart of Your Divine Self is a portrait of you and the God within you. It is a diagram of yourself and your potential to become who you really are. It is an outline of your spiritual anatomy.

The upper figure, known as the "I AM Presence," the Presence of God that is individualized in each one of us. It is your personalized "I AM THAT I AM". Your I AM Presence is surrounded by seven concentric spheres of spiritual energy that makes up what is called your "causal body." These spheres of pulsating energy contain the record of the good works you have performed since your first incarnation on earth. They are like your cosmic bank account.

The middle figure in the Chart represents the "Holy Christ Self," who is also called the Higher Self or the Higher Mental Body. You can think of your Holy Christ Self as your chief guardian angel and dearest friend, your inner teacher and voice of conscience. What the Chart shows is that each of us has a Higher Self, or "Inner Christ," and that each of us is destined to become one with that Higher Self - whether we call it the Christ, the Buddha, the Tao or the Atman. This "Inner Christ" is what the Christian mystics sometimes refer to as the "inner man of the heart."

The shaft of white light descending from the I AM Presence through the Holy Christ Self to the lower figure in the Chart is the crystal cord (sometimes called the silver cord). It is the "umbilical cord" the lifeline, that ties you to Spirit. Your crystal cord also nourishes that special, radiant flame of God that is ensconced in the secret chamber of your heart. It is called the threefold flame, or divine spark, because it is literally a spark of sacred fire that God has transmitted from his heart to yours. This flame is called "threefold" because it engenders the primary attributes of Spirit - power, wisdom and love.

The lower figure in the Chart of Your Divine Self represents you, the soul on the spiritual path, surrounded by the violet flame and the protective white light of God known as the tube of light. The soul is the living potential of God - the part of you that is mortal but that can become immortal. The purpose of your soul's evolution on earth is to grow in self-mastery, balance your karma, fulfill your mission on earth so that you return to the spiritual dimensions that are your real home. The high-frequency energy of the violet flame can help you reach that goal more quickly.
