🌻 The All-Consuming Fire 🌻

The Vedic scriptures declare that the first manifestation of creation happens through fire. 

The fire consumes the underlying essence and forms all that is out of it. As the all-consuming fire it also can dissolve all forms and turns them back again into essence. In the Old Testament there is a similar statement: 

“Our God is the all-consuming Fire.” This means that the Lord assimilates again the whole creation, just like he has formed it with the help of fire. 

The Greek philosopher Heraclitus also taught that the universe was created from out of the state of fire and that it is the one principle which underlies all phenomena in Nature.

The Vedas call this fire Agni. Agni means the first, the foremost one, the one without whom nothing exists. 

Agni is the first impulse, the cause for the emergence of the visible from out of the seeming nothingness.

The Rig Veda, one of the four Vedas, begins with the sukta on fire: 

“Agni mile purohitam…” “Let us worship the Lord who is the forerunner! Let us worship the Lord of all sacrifice! Let us worship the Lord of all rituals!” 

The ‘Treatise on Cosmic Fire’ is a commentary on the Agni Suktas which Master Djwhal Khul has imparted through Alice Bailey. 

The oriental scriptures say that Master Djwhal Khul was recruited into the ashram of the first ray to learn the Agni Suktas, and he was initiated into the work of the first ray. 

In fact, Djwhal Khul is a title given to him by his teachers to designate the energy that he carries in himself: The name means a garland of flames (Djwhala: flame; Khula: garland), with the 7 centres as fiery flowers. 

Since Master Djwhal Khul was initiated into Agni, he could transmit so much cosmic wisdom through HPB, AAB and Master EK.
