A Detailed Presentation: Purification and Blessing of the Self

Introduction: The Purpose of Purification

We present a spiritual practice of self-purification and blessing, attributed to Master Dimitris Kamaropoulos. It emphasizes that purification is not simply a passive cleansing, but an active and continuous process of unveiling and elevating the Divine Essence within the human being.

It is described as a path of life, requiring many descents and ascents (lives).
Its aim is to free the Divine Self from every covering that hides it.
It links purification with blessing: both operate together as one divine energy of mercy.

Structure of the Purification Practice

The text is a model or skeleton for blessing oneself. It progresses systematically through the human constitution, focusing on dissolving negative vibrations, healing distortions, and transmuting energies into light and love.

Key themes:

Invocation of the Divine Mother (Love): every act of blessing begins with calling upon Her Love and Light.
Dissolution of negative vibrations: influences from material or immaterial sources are dissolved, transmuted into light and harmony.
Restoration of balance: each center of the being (chakras/centers of life) is cleansed and harmonized.

Work on the Centers of Life

The blessing proceeds through the centers of the human constitution:

First Center (Root – material survival & dominance):
- Transmutation of tendencies toward material possession, domination, arrogance, pride, lust.
- Transformation of sexuality and reproduction from self-centeredness into thanksgiving to the Father.
- This center is baptized into Sonship, as offered by Christ on the Cross and entrusted to humanity through John.
Second Center (Lower abdomen – desires, acceptance of self):
- Dissolution of pains and blockages caused by suppressed desires.
- Acceptance of one’s imperfections to avoid judgment of others.
- Healing of rejection toward bodily changes caused by time.
- Expansion of the mind to understand causes of imbalance.
Third Center (Solar plexus – emotions):
- Dissolving fears of error and paralysis.
- Transformation of passivity into courage, discernment, and balanced action.
- Healing of rejection of one’s own emotions.
- Acceptance of weaknesses with humility, without comparison or superiority.
- Liberation from fear of judgment by others.
Heart Center (Love and unity):
- Transmutation of hatred, envy, jealousy into Love.
- Recognition that each person’s progress is collective progress.
- Becoming a bearer of Love, radiating to fellow disciples.
- Transforming even subconscious emotions during sleep into Love and awareness.
Higher Centers (throat, mind, inner vision):
- Healing speech from fear, domination, or vanity.
- Liberation of the voice to carry Love.
- Dissolving critical judgment into compassionate discernment.
- Purification of inner vision, removing egoistic appropriation.
- The mind is continuously blessed, expanded, and aligned with the One Will.

Transformation of Specific Human Tendencies

Throughout the practice, the disciple blesses and transmutes:

Fear, passivity, and self-criticism.
Judgment and condemnation of self or others.
Attachment to matter, fear of death.
Hatred, envy, and competitiveness.
Distrust and suspicion.

Each is turned into:

Love, light, humility, courage, discernment, gratitude, unity, and service.

Broader Connections

The practice links personal purification with wider dimensions:

National consciousness: blessing and transmuting negative attitudes toward one’s country and people.
Humanity and discipleship: unity with all fellow workers of the “Work of the Second Coming.”
Cosmic level: recognition that progress of one part is progress of the whole.

The Role of the Apostles (Symbolic Capacities)

The text associates stages of transformation with specific apostles:

Judas–Matthias: Thanksgiving and transformation of the first center.
James: Transmutation of fear of error and paralysis.
Philip: Courage and humility in expression.
John: Opening of the heart to become a vessel of Love.
Peter–Matthew–Andrew: Acceptance of imperfections and transformation into Love.
Bartholomew–Thomas: Balancing imagination and perception.

This symbolic mapping shows how the disciple embodies apostolic qualities through purification.

Laws and Functions Revealed

As the practice deepens, spiritual laws are activated and elevated:

The Law of Thanksgiving (gratitude as transformation).
The Law of Love (supreme law of unity).
Continuous contemplation of the Divine, overcoming inertia.
The function of transmutation from lower to higher centers, culminating in Love.
Unity with the Logos (the Word) manifesting in matter.
Awareness of the all-space and all-time dimension of human destiny.

Conclusion: The Self as a Channel of Love

The final blessing is comprehensive:

Covering the entire being with One Light and One Love.
Recognizing imperfection not as condemnation but as fuel for the flame of Christ’s presence.
Commitment to embody Love in every action and relationship.
The self becomes a conscious vessel of divine Love, united with creation and the Divine Plan.

The closing words affirm gratitude to Teacher Dimitris for his offering to humanity, and recall a central teaching:

“No one is lost. The Infinite Divinity has willed that all become worthy participants of Its infinite spiritual goods… And the path of evolution is found in prayer.”

In essence, this is both a manual and a living prayer: it guides the disciple to cleanse every aspect of their being, to bless imperfections into Love, and to consciously unite with the Divine through thanksgiving, humility, and service.
