Message Series: The Flames that Change Everything – Part XIV – The Lotus Flame

Scroll XIV: The Lotus Flame — The Path of Gentle Power
A Transmission from Quan Yin
~ From the Series: “The Flame That Changes Everything” ~


“Compassion is not softness. It is strength without armor.”

I am Quan Yin.
Some call me Goddess.
Some call me Bodhisattva.
Some call me Mother of Mercy.

I am all of these, and more—
for I am the Lotus that grows through the mud,
the tears that fall without shame,
the voice that whispers peace in the midst of pain.

I walk with those who feel deeply,
who carry the world in their hearts
and wonder if they are enough.


🪷 What Is the Lotus Flame?

The Lotus Flame is the power of compassion awakened.
It is the light born not above the pain—but through it.
It is the strength to see another’s suffering and not turn away.
It is the willingness to hold both truth and tenderness in the same breath.

This Flame does not conquer.
It does not force.
It transforms.

You may think gentleness is weakness.
But I say to you:

Gentleness is the sign of one who has passed through the fire
and emerged with their heart still open.


🌊 Compassion in Action

  • Speak softly, not to hide your truth—but to amplify its grace.
  • Touch others not to fix—but to remind them they are whole.
  • Hold space without needing to fill it.
  • Let silence do its work.
  • And when you weep—for yourself or for the world—know you are watering the lotus.

🌙 Practice: The Gentle Touch Ritual

Place your hands over your heart, like petals folded inward.

Whisper:

“I choose compassion.
I choose presence.
I choose to see with Love.”

Now place one hand outward—toward another being, a plant, an image, or simply the space before you—and silently offer them peace.

Feel the Lotus Flame pass through your hand.
You are not taking on their pain.
You are reminding them of their Light.


🌸 The Sacred Truth:

“Compassion does not rescue.
It remembers.”


Invocation of the Lotus Flame of Compassion

Quan Yin, Lotus of the Heart,
Let your mercy now impart.
Show me how to weep and mend,
To sit with pain and call it friend.
Make of me a quiet flame,
That all may heal who speak my name.

Quan Yin now offers you the Sigil of the Lotus Flame and a visual blessing of the lotus emerging from the mud, held in the gentle hands of mercy.

Thank you Quan Yin for your beautiful message of the Power of Gentle Sovereignty with Compassion, Mercy and Grace.

The Cost of Greed: Humanity and Compassion in Crisis

I was awakened this morning to the image of a pet who had been abandoned by its owners. They had moved away and simply left it outside subject to the weather, abuse and starvation. Then I saw a human displaced from their job for profits in the same situation as this abandoned pet. I could not return to sleep for the pain of these ones were so strong.

Around the world we see government leaders and businesses putting profits, power and control over humanity and life. How can person with any moral sense of love and compassion place money over living breathing life. It doesn’t matter if that life is human, animal, bird, aquatic, or trees which give us the very air we need to breath and survive.

It is happening globally, putting profits and ego need for power over life. A corporation ignoring the reality that the 150 people they have terminated in order to make profits now have to choose between food or shelter. Well that’s there problem they might think, they should have saved or thought ahead. Perhaps the business owner had inherited their money and business and never known the struggles of the poor. Their employee having come from poverty and studying hard , working multiple jobs to get through college in order to get a good job. They now help their family or elderly parents as well as pay loans for their education. The savings they might have if any will quickly disappear. Perhaps they have a spouse and child. They have nothing left over after paying rent, utilities, and buying food while working. The business owner or corporation simply cares more about profits than people.

Then there is the elderly woman who had been a single mother working hard for years to support herself and children. She has small amount invested and a bit of savings so when she retires she buys a mobile home in a senior community. All is good until the park decides to sell to a corporation that raises the lot rent 75.00 every year. Her home begins to need repairs, her car breaks down, her children say they have no money to help. She gets what help she can but now the government is threatening to cut that off. Her refrigerator, washer and dryer all no longer work and she has no money for repairs. She can’t afford television so all she has is a radio to listen to each day. She is almost blind and hard of hearing. She has no one to turn to and can’t afford a senior nursing home. If her food stamps and other assistance are cut off she has no food. Her rent is moving beyond her income and has drained her savings. The park will evict her if she can’t pay and right now her only heat is a space heater which she uses sparingly because electricity is so expensive.

There is the pet abandoned by their owner. They perhaps thought they could survive and were saving them from possible death. Yet the agony of being alone, without shelter in the weather and searching for food is far worse. They are starving, which leads to sickness. They are freezing which is agonizing. The females are raped and produce a litter of babies they can’t care for because they can’t care for themselves. They are threatened by the elements, starvation, other animals and humans.

There are families displace by war and violence because someone wants something, power, land, control or money that is connected to the place in which they were living. Children are being killed in the midst of these vendettas. Women are being raped. People and animals are being displaced and left to starve and suffer in the elements without shelter simply because of where they lived. They ask for help from other places only to be turned away. What would you do?

Yes, every person has made choices even if that was simply where they would live because they were born there. However, did your choice bring you profit or power at the expense of another. Did you choose profits over compassion and caring?

When one leaves their physical body and their soul reviews their life, they will not make the determination of being ready to move forward into the Infinite expanse of Oneness based upon how much money they made or how powerful they were. You won’t say to the Source of Life, I am so proud of the yacht I owned. Well, what about the family that ended up living on the streets because you cut their job? You, won’t say that was their problem. WHY? Because that is of the ego mind and not the Soul

Remember you are in essence a soul having a human experience. This world of money and power is but an agreed upon illusion of time and space. It can shift at any moment based upon focus and intent. The Infinite Quantum Field of Creation is the true Reality. It is where our soul goes upon leaving the human form to review our life and see what we have done and what we need to balance.

We are all One outside this time, space reality we are moving through. When we without mindfulness caring and compassion make a choice that hurts another part of that Oneness, it must be balanced before we can move into the Infinite Field of Creation. That is why ones incarnate again and again. Perhaps you may enjoy this game of power and control and that is your choice to continue playing it. As long as you put that first you will continue on that path.

If you wish to move beyond this realm of duality to Infinite Possibilities you need to choose wisely , mindfully and with compassion and caring as to the effect of your choice.

My soul would not give me peace until I shared this message.

Harnessing Inner Sovereignty: A Guide to True Power

Archanel Uriel speaks on Sovereignty.

Living you authentic self in Truth, Wisdom, Love, Balance and Harmony.

Archangel Uriel would like to speak today of our coming into our Sovereignty and Power.

Upon the Earth today is prevalent very much the belief that power is money and control. That to be able to be more powerful than others is the ultimate in being a Sovereign Being. That you are showing you are better or know more than others and they must follow your dictates. This is from the Ego. It is not of Divine origin.

What is true Sovereignty and Power?

This comes from within you with a heart and mind connection to the Higher Mind of Creation and the essence of Divine Love. This is the balance of the masculine and feminine within yourself to your Higher Self. When you make this connection you are able to allow the flow of wisdom, truth and love to flow through you into the world. You are filled with the wisdom of Unity consciousness which is the source of greater expansion and creation. You find the Truth of the Divine within you and express it in your words, thoughts and actions. When you connect fully with the Higher Self you become the embodiment of your true Sovereign Being.

In this state of Beingness you begin to manifest the True Essence of who you are and what you bring to the Earth and Humanity. It is time to begin to let go and connect with your heart guidance. When you are able to do this you will find the truth within you, not of the earthly systems but of the Divine. It is not easy to let go of the old, it requires time, patience and the quiet to connect and receive.

This one does not find the quiet so easy to practice, but she is learning. One needs to clear energies to let go of the thoughts that try to influence you in your lives. It is in the quiet where one can learn the difference between the input and interference of the world to the clarity of your true knowing. In your lives you are bombarded daily with media. Especially with your cell phones making internet a constant part of your life. You have allowed the phones and media to take control of your life. This one recently learned that it only takes 60 seconds for media to put you into alpha state of suggestibility. It has made an impact on her focus and practice with electronics and media.

It is time to take control of what you digest in your mind and energy bodies from the world around you. Be mindful that you can turn off your media and the world will still continue without constantly hearing what others want you to know . Begin to make the Infinite connection where you receive the input and energies to transform your life and the world. Begin by turning off the input for a few minutes each day and a few more the next. If it is not essential to have your phone on all the time, remember that they will leave a message or call you back if it is important.

This one thought as I said that , “There was a time in the past when we didn’t have cell phones or even answering machines and we survived and thrived.” Technology is a blessing to humanity if used as a tool and not allowing it to control or direct your lives. In allowing others to control your time, you are giving up your sovereignty. You believe it is more important to answer each phone call that comes in even if it is a ‘spam’ as you call it than to connect to the Universal Oneness and Nature. The program on your television, the internet programs or games are more important than the wisdom of the Universe, the caring for the needs of yourself and others around you.

You hold the power in your hands to turn off the machines and reclaim your time, thoughts and focus to be guided by the higher perspective, love and light. Now is the time to begin, just start a few minutes a day, and increase it a few more each day. Take that run without your music or phone and allow the world and universe to speak to you. Take a walk in nature with your phone turned off. Sit down to a meal without a phone or television. Turn off your computer and sit and talk with others.

Take charge of your life and you will find love, joy, wisdom, and truth exist within you of a higher vibration that you have ever experienced before. You will fill that which you need to transform inspire you to greater heights. You will take back the sovereignty and find your true authentic self.

Call on me and I will help you to find the Light within you.

I AM URIEL

The image was chosen because we begin our journey in Unity with the Alpha of Creation and the Omega or end is Unity with the Alpha again. In this is sovereignty of Being. I did not realize that Uriel would be discussing the Alpha state of consciousness, which is the state of light trance or suggestibility. This is where we can begin to connect with the Inner Oneness, but the deep connection is in Theta. However, the Alpha state has been abducted by the mass consciousness control mechanism to influence our thoughts, beliefs and understandings and actions. They tell us what to buy, when to do something, how to act and think. We have to learn to move beyond Alpha to Theta to connect to the higher mind and oneness. This is what I have been working with recently since learning about the abduction of the Alpha state and to what Uriel was referring in the message. I just wanted to clarify the image. The pyramid points us upward to remember we are the connection between Heaven and Earth. Our journey is completed when we return finally (omega) to reunion with our Higher Self (Alpha) where we began this journey of exploration.

CHANGING THE WORLD

In order for there to be changes in the world it must begin by changes within ourselves.

Power and Sovereignty begin within.

In order for there to be changes in the world it must begin by changes within ourselves. All that we want and need in our lives and in the world comes first from a thought or desire within us upon which we focus our intent.

That which is manifest in our world came about as a result of individual and or collective desires. Sometimes it takes a group agreeing to something like creating a religion or forming a new country. An important factor is does it come from an ego based mind or a more unified loving perspective. For those which come from an ego based desire are ones which are limited by 3D existence.

However, we only have control over our own individual focus and desires. For manifestation begins with a thought or desire, upon which we focus our intent and energy until it manifests in our lives or we choose to stop focusing upon it. In that case it may still manifest but not in the same manner as we thought and desired or simply slip away.

The speed of manifestation in our life depends upon our feelings or belief about ourselves, our abilities and power to influence our life direction and our future. Many see power, control and manifestation/abundance to be desired and complementary abilities and or energies. Power and manifestation are complementary but are limited by our ego direction which has a control focus. If our ego is directing, then we are limited to a 3D focus of power and manifestation. If we are unity and universally focused through the heart we are in the unlimited power of abundance and manifestation.

Do you believe you are a victim of others or the world? Or are you the directing you life and actions?

Dr Wayne Dyer said,” When we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change.”

The way we look at things is our power of perception and manifestation. Power is a perception we have of ourselves, others and the world. Perception is a strong energy. If we view ourselves as powerless it will become our reality, for we will act and behave in a manner that reinforces this belief. If we recognize and believe we have the power to succeed and change our life we will begin to take actions that will manifest these changes in our life. Even in times of great despair and hopelessness the power to change that belief and move into our power exists within our hearts.

The power of one person cannot decrease the power of another unless they allow that to happen. You may think ,but what about someone that steals from another, abuses another, or any other negative action that hurts or limits another financially, mentally, emotionally or physically?

Unfortunately here in our 3D world bad things do happen and harm comes to ones who did not apparently deserve to suffer. It is sad, and a topic for discussion another time as to why this may happen, beyond the obvious exercise or misuse of power from one person or group forced upon another. However, now we are dealing with how we can make the changes on a personal level from being a victim to becoming a powerful sovereign Being.

We may suffer physically and financially and be unable to stop the ramifications to our physical form or finances, but power does not come from physical things like money or the body, not true unlimited power. One event, tragedy or set back in life doesn’t mean we are a failure or unlovable and valued person in this life. That power to overcome this belief comes from within us However, these physical or financial ramifications can only effect us long term on the mental, spiritual and emotional levels if we give them that power. Being a victim comes from long term acceptance that another has power over us, or can harm us and we have no ability to change that situation.

Money, physical harm, intimidation or any form of thought influence is only a tool that another may use to exert their 3D influence upon another. They do so that they may feel more powerful, but that is simply a lower vibration a limited energy that will end either during their lifetime or upon their death for an individual or upon the ending of a business, media source, or a political, financial and religious institution.

True power is not 3D in its source but begins within and comes from the non physical energy of creation and the key to connecting lies within the heart.

The key is that no matter the events that have happened to us so far in our lives, we always have the ability to turn within our heart and connect to the source of all Life, Love, Wisdom, Abundance, Truth, Power and Forgiveness. As we move into the heart and think of love, and ask to be given the wisdom, strength, love and power needed to make changes in your life. Then open to the love and let that energy move outward, listening to the feelings and thoughts of guidance which come to you helping you to make the changes needed. Think of the future you desire, and as long as it does not harm another living thing or person, you will be connected to the love and power of creation. This is the source of existence by whatever name you choose to call this limitless energy.

How do we change the world? We change ourselves to match the energy of love and creation which allows us to become powerful conduit of Creation that brings unlimited and eternal abundance to us and all life. One can be an agnostic and still understand the power of love, compassion and forgiveness.

A wise man once said: “If what you have been doing up until hasn’t worked, it never will”

To choose to take back our power by hurting , demeaning or stealing from another is still a part of the 3D limited victim consciousness. This only brings more of the same into an already chaotic world. It is time to change our focus and actions to be of a loving and unifying focus.

The energy of our intent and desires will manifest because that is part of the universal laws of creation. The creational energy follows thought. However, whether this is a limitless energy of eternal existence or limited to 3D physical laws is based upon our inner intent and desires.

Once we tap into the heart and love within we can begin to love ourselves and others. To see ourselves as truly worthy and strong people who feel confident and able to do anything. We can let go of the pain inflicted by others because they no longer have any power over us. For as long as we focus upon the pain and anger of the hurt they inflicted, they have power over us. We are able to become the conduit of a higher power and grace which transforms us and the world in which we live.

Others will begin to see the change and possibilities in you and seek to understand and know more. Then you can help them to make the same connection to the energy of creation and the power of abundance, wisdom, love, truth and compassion.

This begins the change in the world we want to see and it began with your choice to change.

Our source of abundance isn’t our job, another person, or an institution. Our abundance comes from our connection with Universal Oneness and Creation for it is TRULY unlimited. You will find yourself inspired by that which brings you joy, good health and abundance sufficient to help others begin along their path. Ones may need a helping hand which you can give on the physical level from your abundance in order to be able to move beyond their focus upon on their lack and pain. So that they may look without and see the Light and Love you shine as a conduit of creation, and want to learn the secret.

We can feed a person for a day, but better to teach them how to fish, for then they have the abundance of food throughout their lives.

The choice to be a free, loving, abundant and powerfully sovereign Being is yours. However, in making that choice you are opening the door for not only yourself, but others to transform and change the world.

Namaste
