Violet Flame is the Greatest Gift of the New Millennium:

Elizabeth Clare Prophet said:

The violet flame is one of the most life-changing gifts anyone could ever receive. I discovered it in my early twenties, and it has continually transformed me, lifted my burdens, and raised my consciousness. And as I have shared the violet flame with people around the world, I’ve seen it provide answers to the difficult challenges they were facing and bring healing to their body, mind, and soul.

The violet flame has tremendous power to affect our lives because it is a high-frequency light that spans physical and spiritual realms. It is the vibrant spiritual light and fire that transmutes energy from its current state into a higher one. This flame is the secret, spiritual fire of alchemy, and there is simply nothing in this world that compares with its ability to produce change.

When violet flame enters the scene, it brings peace and order to our affairs, restores our vitality, and reestablishes the pure flow of energy in our lives. It inspires creativity. It invigorates and uplifts us. It can heal emotional and even physical problems, improve our relationships, and make life easier. And perhaps most importantly, the violet flame helps us fulfill our soul’s innermost desires. This all happens as its energies of mercy, forgiveness, joy, and freedom come into our world.

The violet flame can do all of this for you. You can access the violet flame anytime or anywhere through prayers, mantras, and visualizations. Whatever you are doing—pursuing a business venture, raising a family, serving in your community, playing sports, following a spiritual practice (or all or none of the above)—the violet flame has the power to change your life for the better.

Though most people do not know about the violet flame, people worldwide are sensing a new light of freedom and an energy of change. The winds of change are bringing tremendous innovations in every area of life. We live in a time of scientific and technological progress as well as a time of accelerated spiritual development. New horizons are open to us. We sense that we can contact a spiritual part of ourselves more easily than we ever could before. It is a time of opportunity to break free from the past and move into an unprecedented era of freedom, peace, and enlightenment.

The violet flame is the missing element for our smooth passage into this new era. It has the power to create, to uncreate, and to resolve the problems of our times. It is the alchemical action of transmutation that allows us to transcend ourselves.

And people everywhere who use the violet flame are beginning to discover their inner power and who they really are.
When we think of the ages before electricity was harnessed, before Einstein gave us the formula E=mc 2 , we say those were unenlightened times. But today we know little more about the spiritual light and fire imprisoned within us than was known centuries ago about the most basic physical forces.

Indeed, there are spiritual forces within us, within every single cell and atom, within the fire of our heart. When we discover what these forces are, we will know how to unlock our highest potential. The gift of the violet flame is the key to this self-transformation. It is the universal agent of change that frees the unlimited power that exists right within us.

As we explore how the light and fire of the violet flame can do all these things, its mysteries will be revealed.

Nestled in Romania's Bucovina region, Voroneț Monastery – the pearl of Romanian monasteries and "Sistine Chapel of the East" – dazzles with its vivid exterior frescoes set on the iconic "Voroneț blue," a mysterious, enduring pigment from the 15th century. Built in 1488 by Saint Stephen the Great, this UNESCO gem is a breathtaking masterpiece!

Abolish it

Dutch commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek just dropped a political bombshell, declaring that the European Union should be abolished entirely, arguing its foundation is “rotten” and beyond reform.

Her warning is crystal clear: the EU has drifted into totalitarian territory, and minor reforms won’t fix a system built on centralized control. As debates over sovereignty, migration, and digital regulation intensify, her message is resonating across Europe’s growing populist wave.

Is abolition extreme or exactly what Europe needs?

In 1929, Joseph Campbell made the worst career move possible.
He'd just finished studying medieval literature in Paris and Munich. He had a master's degree from Columbia. The path was clear: get your PhD, land a university job, publish papers in your narrow specialty, build your career brick by conventional brick.
Instead, Campbell walked into his faculty advisor's office and announced he wanted to study Sanskrit, modern art, psychology, AND medieval literature. They said no. Academic programs didn't work that way. Pick one lane.
Campbell walked away from the entire system.
Then the Great Depression hit. The timing couldn't have been worse. The stock market crashed a month after he returned to America. Academic jobs evaporated. His friends thought he'd destroyed his future. His family was horrified.
But Campbell did something radical: he decided to use the crisis as an opportunity.
He rented a cabin in Woodstock, New York for twenty dollars a year. No running water. No career prospects. Just books.
For the next five years, Campbell read. Not casually—monastically. He'd wake at dawn and read for nine hours straight. Hindu texts. Buddhist scriptures. Greek mythology. Native American stories. African folklore. Carl Jung's psychology. James Joyce's experimental novels. Medieval romances. Everything.
He wasn't preparing for exams. He wasn't writing papers for tenure committees. He was looking for something academics confined to their specialties would never see: patterns hidden across cultures and centuries.
His routine was brutal in its simplicity. Read. Take notes. Read more. Synthesize. Repeat. No social pressure. No academic approval. Just an obsessive search for connections between human stories separated by thousands of miles and millennia.
In 1934, after five years of voluntary intellectual exile, Campbell got a job teaching literature at Sarah Lawrence College. The school was perfect—it encouraged interdisciplinary thinking rather than narrow expertise. He could finally teach everything he'd been studying.
But the real work was just beginning.
For the next fifteen years, while teaching full-time, Campbell organized everything he'd discovered into a single revolutionary idea: every hero story ever told—from ancient Mesopotamia to modern Hollywood—follows the same pattern.
The hero receives a call to adventure. Refuses at first. Eventually crosses into an unknown world. Faces tests and trials. Undergoes transformation. Returns home changed, bringing wisdom to others.
Greek myths. Hindu epics. Native American legends. Christian parables. Buddhist teachings. Arthurian romances. The specific details varied wildly, but the skeleton beneath was identical.
Campbell called it the "monomyth." The hero's journey.
In 1949, he published The Hero with a Thousand Faces. Academic reviewers were mixed—some thought he was oversimplifying complex traditions. The book sold modestly.
Then nothing happened. For decades.
Campbell kept teaching. Kept researching. Kept refining his ideas. The book stayed in print but remained obscure outside academic circles.
Until 1977.
A young filmmaker named George Lucas released Star Wars. Luke Skywalker's journey—farm boy to Jedi knight—followed Campbell's pattern exactly. The call to adventure. The refusal ("I can't leave my uncle"). The mentor. The trials. The transformation. The return.
Lucas publicly credited Campbell. Suddenly, everyone wanted to know: who was this mythology professor whose work had shaped the biggest movie of the decade?
Writers discovered the book. Filmmakers studied it. A Hollywood script consultant named Christopher Vogler translated Campbell's academic framework into practical screenwriting advice. The monomyth became the secret architecture of blockbuster storytelling.
In 1988, journalist Bill Moyers filmed a six-part PBS series with Campbell at George Lucas's Skywalker Ranch, explaining mythology for general audiences. The series aired just after Campbell died in October 1987.
The Power of Myth became one of the most-watched PBS series in history.
The Hero with a Thousand Faces—published nearly 40 years earlier—hit the bestseller list.
Campbell died at 83, having lived to see his cabin-in-the-woods reading project influence how millions understand stories.
Today, it's almost impossible to watch a major film without seeing Campbell's influence. The Matrix. Harry Potter. The Lion King. The Lord of the Rings. Black Panther. Every hero who refuses the call, crosses a threshold, faces trials, and returns transformed is walking Campbell's path.
Critics argue he oversimplified diverse traditions, ignored myths that didn't fit his pattern, and focused too heavily on male heroes while treating women as helpers or prizes. These criticisms are valid and important.
But his influence is undeniable.
Because in 1929, when everyone said "specialize," Joseph Campbell said "no, I need to see the whole picture." When the economy crashed and everyone scrambled for security, he chose poverty and books. When academic institutions said "stay in your lane," he spent five years reading across every lane simultaneously.
He didn't discover the monomyth by following the prescribed path.
He discovered it by rejecting the path entirely and spending years looking for patterns that academic boundaries kept separate.
The man who dropped out to read mythology in a cabin influenced some of the most successful films ever made—because he understood that the biggest insights often require stepping outside the system designed to produce them.
Sometimes the worst career move is the only one that leads somewhere truly original.
