The Chart of Your Divine Self illustrates your vast spiritual potential. It is a portrait of you and the God within you.

The upper figure, known as the "I AM Presence," represents the Ultimate Reality (the Spirit of God, Brahman or Paramatman) individualized for each of us. The "I AM Presence" is surrounded by seven concentric spheres of spiritual energy that makes up your causal body. These spheres contain the record of the good works (good karma) that you have performed throughout all your incarnations.

The middle figure represents your inner guru, (Higher Self or Atman) and voice of conscience. In this illustration, the Higher Self is depicted to be like Vishnu, the masterful one, for each of us has the potential to embody here and now the "Vishnu Consciousness" and the attributes of our inner teacher. The middle figure is also known as the Inner Buddha or the Inner Christ.

The shaft of white light descending from the heart of the upper figure to the lower figure is the crystal cord, which ties you to Spirit and nourishes your divine spark. The Katha Upanishad speaks of the divine spark as the "Light of the Spirit" that is connected in the "secret high place of the heart."

The lower figure represents you on the spiritual path, surrounded by the protective white light of God and the purifying violet flame, the high-frequency spiritual energy that transforms negative karma into positive and loving energy. The purpose of your soul's evolution on earth is to grow in self-mastery, balance your karma, become one with your Higher Self and fulfill your unique divine plan (dharma) so that you can attain moksha, your ultimate liberation through union with God.
