<translate>

The tenth chapter of the [[Book of Revelation]] speaks of the angel “clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head ... and in his hand a little book.” This angel appeared to [[John the Beloved|John the Revelator]]. The rainbow and the cloud are the [[causal body]] and the light of the [[I AM Presence]]. The little book is the concentrated energy of the Word of the masters spoken to the prophets.


The Mighty Angel Clothed with a Cloud has given one [[dictation]] through the messenger [[Elizabeth Clare Prophet]]. He said:


<blockquote>
I bear witness unto the light descending as the Word of the sons and daughters of God. I come from the fount of living flame. I have stood in the presence of [[Alpha and Omega]]. I am the angel which stands in the presence of the LORD God with [[seraphim]] and [[cherubim]], and unto me is given the office of the transfer of the light of prophecy unto the prophets of the ages. And thus, the writing in the book is the writing in cipher of those energies that are uncoded cyclically each thousand cycles of the turning of God’s consciousness within the worlds upon worlds.


Within my heart I know billions of lifewaves. I know, for I am known of God. And as I gaze upon the consciousness that he has shared with his sons and daughters, I behold an infinite creativity on the part of those who have exalted free will within his will. And I behold also the infamy of those who have enshrined the darkness of nonexistence. And I stand to sound forth the clarion call of an age, for I am the herald of the [[ascended master]]s, and the little book is the concentrated energy of their Word spoken unto the prophets, spoken unto the prophets for their children evolving into the oneness of that flame.


I can be seen standing in the cities, standing in the temples, standing in the midst of the people. And those who desire truth are bidden to the initiation of that mighty angel that also appeared unto John. And with me is the sound of the [[Elohim]]. The thundering and the sounding of that voice is the tuning of a cosmos and of millions of souls.<ref>The Mighty Angel Clothed with a Cloud and a Rainbow Upon His Head and in His Hand a Little Book, “Joy Is Timeless, Spaceless Energy,” March 22, 1978.</ref>
</blockquote>

== Sanat Kumara on the Mighty Angel == 


[[Sanat Kumara]] speaks of this mighty angel and reveals his name as '''Adoremus''':


<blockquote>
When John saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, he observed in his hand a little book open. This angel, by name Adoremus, had a face which appeared as the sun and feet as pillars of fire. With the full dominion of the Godhead whose messenger he is, he set his right foot upon the sea, showing the omnipotence of God over the subconscious mind and all it contains; and he set his left foot upon the earth, showing the omniscience of God to subdue the conscious mind and all that it contains.


(The right foot and the left foot of the mighty angel, which are as pillars of fire, symbolize the dominion of his cosmic consciousness over the sea and over the earth, the third and fourth quadrants of the Matter spheres. The feet are the symbol of understanding, and they represent and are symbolical of the initiations of the hierarchy of Pisces which the Lord [[Jesus Christ]] came to demonstrate.)


Then, with the authority of the Holy Ghost, he cried with a loud voice as when a lion roareth; and by the authority of the Great Guru [[Lord Maitreya]], he gave the divine decree which evoked the seven thunders and the uttering of their voices.


The seven thunders are the seven mighty [[Elohim]] who come in the full power of the Holy Ghost to consume by love and by wisdom every manifestation that is Antichrist. The seven mighty Elohim give the statement of the Law that unfolds the path of initiation for the saints. This path of initiation is the message of the little book held open in the hand of the mighty angel.


The seven thunders uttered their voices, sounding the tone, the universal [[AUM]], the way back Home for those called to embody the archetype of the living Christ on the [[seven rays]]. Their Word was and is the Word of God unto every soul longing for reunion. The divine decree uttered by the mighty angel, Adoremus—the one who adores the sevenfold expression of the Divine Us represented by the twin flames of Alpha and Omega within the seven mighty Elohim—brought forth the Word of Elohim concerning the Piscean path demonstrated by Jesus Christ.<ref>{{OSS}}, chapter 20.</ref>

Micah

'''Micah''' is '''Angel of Unity''', the son of [[Archangel Michael]]. Micah and his legions serve to guard the unity for the [[Christ consciousness]] in all mankind. His task is to amplify the peace and harmony of unity throughout the world.

== With the children of Israel == 


Micah was the angel who overshadowed the children of Israel throughout their desert wanderings. He appeared to [[Moses]] and assisted him during the forty years of the Israelites’ sojourn in the desert. He parted the Red Sea and focused the pillar of fire by night; his legions were the cloud of witness by day.<ref>Exod. 13:21–22; 14:21–30.</ref>


You can picture Micah in that white-fire cloud that accompanied the children of Israel. Micah’s crown of light, or halo, emits a tremendous concentration of the blue light, whereas his garments focus the intense and fiery pink love within the blue lightning that he wields on behalf of the freedom of mankind.

== At Valley Forge == 


{{main|Washington's vision}}


During the long winter at Valley Forge, Micah appeared to [[George Washington]] in a vision of three great perils that would come upon the nation of America—the Revolutionary War, the War between the States, and a third world conflict. According to Anthony Sherman’s account of this vision, Washington related that he was shown the inhabitants of America “in battle array against each other. As I continued looking I saw a bright angel, on whose brow rested a crown of light, on which was traced the word ‘Union,’ bearing the American flag which he placed between the divided nation, and said, ‘Remember ye are brethren.’ Instantly, the inhabitants, casting from them their weapons, became friends once more and united around the National Standard.”<ref>{{SGA}}, pp. 142–51.</ref>

== His service today == 


Micah guards the union of fifty states of America and the destiny of the nation. He comes forth bringing the heritage of the patriarchs of the Law, the patrons of life and patriots of all ages. He holds the concept of the union of the children of Israel come again. Micah, the Spirit of Unity, has kept America a nation of fifty sovereign states.


Micah says, “You are wholly dependent upon the invincible power of God that beats your heart. Therefore, your heart ought to throb with the hearts of angels in the cosmic beat of unity.”<ref>Elizabeth Clare Prophet, “A Meditation for Unity,” {{POWref|41|44|, November 1, 1998}}</ref> You can ask Micah and his angels of unity to walk by your side and help you to overcome the obstacles to your inner unity and your unity with others. Ask him to place his [[Electronic Presence]] over you. Invite him to overshadow you and show you what it feels like to be cradled in the flame of unity.


Micah once said that every individual must “stand guard every moment at his own doorstep to keep his house sweet and his heart a gateway for praise, wherein the glory of unity is preferred above all else.”<ref>Ibid.</ref> In order to stand guard to protect unity, we must start with ourselves and then move to the circle of our communities and nations. As [[Gandhi]] once said: “''You'' must be the change you wish to see in the world.”


Sources of disunity on a national scale will not go away overnight. They take concerted work. They take sustained calls to Archangel Michael and his son, Micah. They take lots of [[violet flame]] to transmute the records and the hurts and wounds of the past.


We can perform a great service for the world if we concentrate our prayers and our violet-flame decrees into situations of discord. We must also be examples of the flame of unity and of community, right where we are.


Micah has sponsored a “Meditation for Unity” that we can give to help bring resolution into any situation of conflict.<ref>Ibid.</ref> [https://spiritualbooks.summitlighthouse.org/products/the-sacred-ritual-for-the-creation-of-the-cloudbooklet Saint Germain’s “Ritual for the Creation of the Cloud”] can also be extremely effective for resolving both personal and world problems.

God and Goddess Meru

2026-06-05T03:24:50Z

PeterDuffy:

<translate>

The '''God and Goddess Meru''' are [[manu]]s of the sixth [[root race]] (the sixth of seven primary groups of souls destined to embody on earth). They are the lawgivers and they embody the Christic image for all the members of this root race. These masters are also the sponsors of education, advanced learning, the acceleration of the mind, the heart, the soul and the full development of the potential of the unborn child and all children as they mature.


The terms God and Goddess denote that they are [[cosmic being]]s who ensoul the God consciousness of their office. God Meru has explained that the names God and Goddess Meru have come down from ancient [[Lemuria]], where their [[twin flame]]s guarded the light of the Motherland. The physical focus of the Mother flame was lost when Lemuria sank beneath the Pacific. The God and Goddess Meru have enshrined the Mother flame at their retreat on the etheric plane to make up for the loss of the focus of the flame on the ancient Motherland.

== Their retreat == 


{{main|Temple of Illumination}}


Their vast retreat, the Temple of Illumination, is located over Lake Titicaca, high in the Andes mountains on the Peru-Bolivia border. The center of the retreat is directly over the remains of an ancient temple on an island in this lake, the Island of the Sun.


At their retreat, the God and Goddess Meru focus the feminine ray of the Godhead for the planet, just as [[Himalaya]] and his twin flame, the manus of the fourth root race, focus the masculine ray in their etheric retreat in the Himalayas. The polarity of these rays is evident in the religious philosophies of East and West. The austerity and mental polarity of worship in the East is balanced by devotion to the Mother principle and the feeling aspect of religion prevalent in the West.


The retreat of the [[Royal Teton Retreat|Royal Teton]] is a relay station for the energies of the Brotherhood of Wisdom. Thus there is an arc of illumination from the Andes to the Rockies, and from their focus in North America, the God and Goddess Meru direct the action of illumination’s flame into the hearts of the youth of the world. Their program of education of the masses, whereby souls are taken to temples of light for training while their bodies sleep, is carried on in retreats of the Brotherhood throughout the world. A massive outreach of the [[Brotherhood]] through the efforts of the God and Goddess Meru is preparing the way for the incoming [[seventh root race]] and for the [[golden age]].


God Meru tells us of the founding of his retreat:


<blockquote>
In the ancient civilizations here in South America we saw how cosmic travail did produce that which is far, far beyond what you have yet seen in your modern world. We were able to see great highways builded by the early [[Inca]]s. We were able to see vehicles of transportation that far exceed that which you presently enjoy. We were able to witness the great temples of truth and life and light and love that grew and manifested by the labor of men’s hearts and minds working in universal harmony until their grandeur surpassed all that modern life—and ancient life in most cases in other continents—has ever manifested. Yet today much of the region occupied by those grand temples and cities lies a tangled jungle ruin. Why, gracious ones, is this so?


It is so because the minds and hearts of those individuals did not actually keep pace with the scientific advancement that life had vouchsafed unto them. Rather, individuals began first of all within themselves to express some form of inharmony, and then this was transmitted unto other parts of life. And there came into play a vying with one another for recognition and acknowledgment of the dreams of their life and the unfoldment thereof.


And so it was by the spirit of competition and the “competement” of individuals with one another that inharmony rode in. And the civilization, led by priests of sacred light who had fallen from their lofty office, eventually came down to the banality of ruin. And the ruin that manifested there in South America was very great. But because of the light that they had sent forth, which light ascended unto God reaching up into the very heavens itself, it was decreed by a karmic law that we should maintain a great spiritual focus of majestic light here!


And so, at Lake Titicaca, a region relatively unspoiled by mortal thought and feeling, there sprang into manifestation the full focus of the gathered momentum of all of the lifestreams and their constructive endeavors, to merge into the great cosmic flame of illumination. The wisdom of God that built those civilizations, then, itself was gathered, and the flame that rises here at Titicaca is the flame of Almighty God’s wisdom, which ascends as a great pillar of witness to all people and all nations. Yet only the few are able to understand the majesty which now and for all time rises into the ethers and pulsates with the flame of divine wisdom for the freeing of mankind.<ref>God Meru, August 28, 1966.</ref>
</blockquote>


On December 28, 1977, the God and Goddess Meru dedicated the [[Ashram of the World Mother (Los Angeles)|Ashram of the World Mother]] in Los Angeles as an extension of their retreat.

== Their plan for youth and families == 


In our time, there are great burdens on families, children and youth. In assessing these situations, the God and Goddess Meru have evolved a plan for the cooperation of the child, the family and the community. Meru says:


<blockquote>
I read to you now a scroll. This scroll has been penned by the angels of our retreat. And it is the setting forth by the beloved Goddess Meru and myself of the priorities that we see for the protection and the securing of youth to a ripened age of maturity and Christhood at thirty-three:


First and foremost, '''the dedication of education upon the Word and the Sacred Heart'''—dedicating the three R’s as the three rays of the threefold flame and therefore setting the foundation whereby all learning might proceed from within....


Parents need understanding and training. Therefore, second on our list is '''parental training'''....


There must be as point three '''a pact''' made '''twixt parents, teachers and sponsors of children''' to work together as a threefold flame of devotion in this community and then city by city. This entails the realization that death and hell desire to devour your children, and therefore, you must pray fervently! You must vow, after understanding the meaning of the vow, to stand between the youth of the world and death and hell....


Fourth on our list must be the white-fire bastion of '''the vow''' made.... Once the vow is taken, you must remember the first [[Mother of the Flame]], [[Clara Louise]], who kept a daily prayer vigil for the youth, beginning at four in the morning and not concluding till late morning, praying for all souls of the youth, from the unborn to those in college and beyond....


'''Community action''' is next on our list—an involvement of community that does reinforce family as these twin pillars of family and community brace a path of individualism for those of all ages. The breaking down of the family, the breaking down of the neighborhood communities—this is a fragmenting of society and the separation of members of karmic groups as well as individuals of varying ages so that they cannot learn from one another and ripen and mature, as the mature inspire those coming up, and the youth introduce the new wave of a New Age that can also challenge those in the middle of life or retiring.


Community, then, must be a stronghold of values, of serving together, of meeting one another’s needs and of establishing goals and priorities, not the least of which is the protection of that circle of lives. Blessed ones, a community must have more than the survival of itself or its happiness as a goal. It must have a totality of a reason for being toward which every member is galvanized and does rise.


Apropos this, our next point on the list is the '''training''' of all members of society, and especially the children, in '''responsible citizenship'''—in taking responsibility for the necessary functions of the group, whether as a police force, as firemen, as a city council or as those who are supplying the unguent and the service in order that a community might endure.


When all of the forces of chaos are attempting to break down a way of life, let us turn to the '''music of the spheres'''. Let us turn to the quieting of souls, to the invoking of harmonies, to the bringing forth of the golden-age sounds that have not been heard. Thus, this point on our list is an activation from the heart of [[Cyclopea]], who does join us in sponsoring this call. Cyclopea holds secret melodies waiting to come forth that will remind the youth of ancient times, inner vows, other years when beauty and love, even in etheric octaves, was their lot.


The youth need comfort of the Holy Spirit and not surfeiting. Tragically, tragically, few among them in actuality desire a path and a discipleship. Therefore, we do recommend the study and the structuring of a program that does '''reinforce individuality''' and thereby diminish the necessity in perilous times for such an emotional interdependence among teenagers as to make them fear to stand their ground for a cause or a principle.


Why is peer pressure of such great consequence, beloved? Is it because of absence of parental reinforcement, understanding and even the camaraderie of a family that is not so distant and that does not set artificial barriers between one generation and the next? Let us not so poorly educate children as to see that they do not know their own minds or hearts or values, having had no noble ideals or stories of saints and heroes or examples of karmic consequences of misdeeds....


We are the God and Goddess Meru. We are the sponsors and the teachers of [[Jesus]] and all who have come to minister unto the sixth root race. Thus, Jesus and many other saints have long studied in our retreat. It is a home base for them. We invite you to come frequently.... Thus you know that with the [[World Teacher]]s we shall abide with you until every child on earth does have the opportunity to be tutored in the heart by the [[Holy Christ Self]] and by anointed teachers and parents and sponsors.<ref>God Meru, “To Plead the Cause of Youth,” {{POWref|30|19|, May 10, 1987}}</ref>
</blockquote>

== Self-condemnation == 


God Meru has given an excellent teaching on self-condemnation:


<blockquote>
Some of you sit in the seat of the scornful. You are scornful toward yourselves. You condemn yourselves because you think you are not what you ought to be, that you have not made a great enough effort. Perhaps you forgot to pray this morning, or you did not have the time. Will you live in condemnation of yourself throughout the day? Or if you, through indiscretion, commit an act of sin for which you have sincere regret, will you be burdened by your own self-condemnation all the days of your life, thinking that you are unacceptable to the Godhead?


Finally the end result of self-condemnation is rebellion against the Deity. For man cannot live in self-condemnation, and thus he must throw off what the imagines to be the angry God who is condemning him. And thus he can only find his freedom by denying God totally. But who has created this God of condemnation but man himself, in his dissatisfaction with himself?


I say, O precious children of the Sun, be not weary in welldoing. Be not burdened with a sense of guilt. For there is no condemnation in God, but the demons and the fallen ones stand before you to condemn you night and day. And they whisper here, and they whisper there, and they tell you what a terrible person you are, what a miserable sinner you are, and that there is no hope for your salvation. I tell you, precious hearts, the majority of mankind in this very hour are burdened with this sense of condemnation, which stifles creativity, stifles the beauty of the Godhead—the potential to bring forth the science of light, the music of the spheres, a golden-age culture.


People walk the streets feeling unworthy of life itself. God in you is worthy to be adored! God in you is worthy to be joyous, to be upheld! If you are burdened with a sense of the consciousness of sin, then I say, what is your consciousness of God? What do you think of God if you make sin so real that you can never be released from the bondage of sin? Is God aware of all that? I tell you, nay. And if he is not aware of it, why should you give it even a flicker of your consciousness of attention? For where your consciousness is, there your energy flows. And there your energy goes, and thus you give the great River of Life into a matrix of self-condemnation. And by and by you condemn yourself out of existence.


Some of you ... are suffering at the present time from physical diseases or impediments that are the direct result of your own condemnation of yourself that has become such a burden to your body elemental that it has outpictured in your physical form.


O precious hearts, arise and be free and Christ shall give thee light. You must be free of this sense of sin if you would progress one foot forward on the Path. You stop all progress as long as you conceive of yourself as a sinner. Has the Creator lost his power to forgive, to transmute, to dissolve sin? Nay. Our God is a God of mercy and a consuming fire. ''Prove him'', therefore, as he has commanded you to do. Prove his law.


Thrust your sins into the fire as in the ancient sacrifice of the children of Israel, symbolical of putting into the flame the menagerie of the subconscious—the animal forms, the darkness, the density. How do you do this? You simply say: “In the name of Jesus the Christ, I cast all that is less than the Christ into the flame. O God, consume it! I ask it. Hear my plea and answer. I accept it done this hour in full power in fulfillment of the promise of the Creator.” If you will but make that call, all of heaven will move this very hour to lift the burden of the sense of sin from you.<ref>God Meru, September 1, 1973.</ref>
</blockquote>

== The corridor of light to the Royal Teton Ranch == 


In his Christmas Day address 1986, Jesus announced that the God and Goddess Meru had come from Lake Titicaca to “establish a corridor of light from the etheric retreat over the Royal Teton Ranch to the etheric retreat of the feminine ray at Lake Titicaca,” opening a highway whereby our calls might “reach South America in time.”


On October 10, 1988, [[Hercules]] said that because the physical area of Lake Titicaca in the Andes (where the feminine ray should be anchored physically) is covered over with astral substance, the [[Royal Teton Ranch]] “must suffice” as “the physical focus of the feminine ray to the earth here in the Northern Rockies ... until the dark period of earth’s travail does pass.” Because the ascended and unascended masters of the Himalayas keep the flame of the masculine ray, it is able to be anchored physically in the Himalayas from Lord Himalaya’s [[Retreat of the Blue Lotus]].

== Future service == 


The God and Goddess Meru serve directly under [[Helios and Vesta]], and they are destined to assume the office of Helios and Vesta when these great beings of light move to higher service. The ascended master [[Casimir Poseidon]] announced on September 12, 1965, that the messengers Mark and Elizabeth Clare Prophet were being prepared to assume the offices of the God and Goddess Meru when these masters advanced in their own cosmic service.

Melchizedek

2026-06-04T22:59:45Z

[[File:Peter Paul Rubens 016.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|<translate> ''The Meeting of Abraham and Melchizedek'', Peter Paul Rubens (c. 1625)</translate>]]

<translate>

'''Melchizedek''', priest of the Most High God, is an ancient member of the sacred-fire priesthood that we know as the '''Order of Melchizedek'''. The Melchizidekian priesthood is very ancient, going back all the way to other star systems. It is the priesthood of the seventh ray, combining the perfect religion and the perfect science. Priests of this order are required to be scientists as well as to perfect the way of the light of God in their temples.

== The Biblical record == 


Melchizedek is first seen in the Bible as the priest of the Most High God who met and blessed [[Abraham]] returning from the slaughter of the kings and to whom Abraham gave a tenth part of the spoils. Melchizedek served Abraham bread and wine, the first record we have of the serving of [[Holy Communion]]. Melchizedek is a very key figure of light, a Guru of gurus. He was the greatest initiate and adept of the Old Testament and ascended at the conclusion of that embodiment.


In chapter 7 of the Book of Hebrews we read:


<blockquote>For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.</blockquote>


In the Hebrew, the name Melchizedek means “king of right.” Therefore he is a king of righteousness who multiplies the Law of God by the right use or exercise of that Law. It also means king by right, by attainment. Melchizedek also held the title of King of Salem, which is King of Jerusalem, the Holy City. The word ''king'' means, “''k''ey to the ''in''carnation of ''G''od.” Therefore Melchizedek holds, by the rod of his authority and his attainment, the key to our incarnation of God in the Holy City, in the [[New Jerusalem]].


[[Lord Ling]] explains the description of Melchizedek as without father or mother:


<blockquote>
But it is written that in due course of time, by the power of the spoken Word released from the throat chakra, spiritual individuals shall face one another and, uttering the sacred words, shall quicken by light rays in the seed power the proper use of the sex (sacred) energies and the [[caduceus]] action, and produce a living form instantaneously in the great cosmic light from which steps forth a son of God in radiant manifestation.


In this manner Melchizedek was born without father and without mother, without descent, without beginning of days and without ending. You say, “You have said that he was born without father and mother, and yet you have said that they faced one another.” Yea, it is true. But those who faced one another were as masters of light, a Son and Daughter of God, and he was without earthly mother and father, but not without heavenly mother and father. Thus, I have revealed to you this night one of the secrets of the Order of Melchizedek.<ref>Lord Ling, October 13, 1963.</ref>
</blockquote>

[[File:Niedernai-StMaximin20-rev.jpg|thumb|<translate> Abraham and Melchizedek, 19th century fresco</translate>]]

<translate>
== The Order of Melchizedek == 


The book of Hebrews says that Jesus was “made an high priest forever after the order of Melchisedec.”<ref>Heb. 6:20.</ref> The [[akashic records]] reveal that both [[Jesus]] and [[Saint Germain]] studied in the retreat of the [[Archangel Zadkiel]] when they were in embodiment on [[Atlantis]]. Both completed their initiations and training in the order of the priesthood of Melchizedek before the sinking of the continent. They stood before Melchizedek and the great Archangel Zadkiel, who said upon these two blessed ones, “Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchisedec.”<ref>Heb. 5:6.</ref> Once one receives that training and initiation, it carries over to succeeding lifetimes. Thus, Jesus was already a priest of the Order of Melchizedek before his birth in his final embodiment.


One of the symbols of Melchizedek is the [[Maltese cross]]. This cross is made up of four V’s that meet in the center of the cross, representing the [[four planes of Matter]]. Melchizedek teaches the mastery of these four planes, and he is at the heart of the cross at the point of the meeting of the lines of force of [[Spirit]] and [[Matter]], Alpha and Omega.


The priesthood of the ascended master Melchizedek is of the seventh ray and the seventh age. You can request to become a member of that order. The first step is the giving of the [[violet flame]]. You can also write a letter to Jesus, Melchizedek and Archangel Zadkiel, asking to be trained in the priesthood of the Order of Melchizedek. Burn the letter, and the angels will take it to the heaven-world. Each day give violet-flame decrees and ask to be taken while your body sleeps at night to Archangel Zadkiel’s retreat for training.

== An outer order of the priesthood of Melchizedek == 


On June 30, 1978, [[Kuthumi]] announced the forming of an outer order of this priesthood:


<blockquote>
O sacred fire flame, O flaming ones of the priesthood of the Order of Melchizedek, I am come in the name of the [[World Teachers|World Teacher]]. I come, a fellow servant of the Lord Christ, imbued with the wisdom of a mystical light. It is the light now tenderly burning within the [[secret chamber of the heart|secret chamber of your heart]].


Let the priesthood, then, come forth, ascended beings of light who carry flames and palms and march two by two as they come before the altar of the LORD God. They appear to be singularly unconcerned by the great tragedy and tribulation of earthly life, and yet these ones who have chosen the higher way and the higher consciousness contain within themselves such an intensity of light, such a magnitude of the [[Great Central Sun]] within their hearts, that I tell you, beloved ones, that each and every one of you receives an impetus of light from these dedicated servants of the Most High God who serve at inner levels as the ascended brotherhood of Melchizedek.


Beloved ones, I come to you, then, with a very special announcement. I come to you, then, with the great gift of this priesthood. I come, then, with the translation of a word, of a sacred fire, and of a wisdom. It is the desiring of this inner priesthood to raise up among [[Keepers of the Flame]], devotees of the [[Ancient of Days]], an outer order of this priesthood of Melchizedek. Therefore receive the anointing of the Lord Jesus, who stands with me upon this altar today—the anointing of the heart, precious ones, by the man of sorrows<ref>Isa. 53:3.</ref> who has become the man of joys. The anointing of the heart, beloved ones, is the sacred opening of the potential of that heart to be a sacred fire.


When you contemplate the depiction of the saints and of the Lord Christ as the blood drips from the heart, understand the translation, that this is the heart of a Christed one dripping with the sacred fire, and the very drops of his blood are for the transmutation of world sin. And so by that body and by that blood repeated again and again and again through the [[Francis of Assisi|brothers and sisters of Assisi]], we would raise up those who would be electrodes of the inner priesthood of Melchizedek.


Beloved ones, contemplate now the majesty of Melchizedek, priest of Salem, for this beloved ascended master now stands opposite me beneath the [image of the] [[All-Seeing Eye of God]] at the rear of the auditorium. I ask you now to stand and face this most exalted being.


Beloved ones, though your eye may not see, your soul does see all. And therefore the pulsating light of this one unto whom Abraham brought a tenth of the spoils<ref>Gen. 14:20; Heb. 7:2.</ref> now registers upon the very eye of your soul. And by the eye of the Lord God within you, so through the blessed presence of this one there comes to you the opportunity for the dispensation to walk the earth without father, without mother, without beginning or ending of days.<ref>Heb. 7:3.</ref>


This indicates, beloved ones, that by the sacred fire of your own heart there is the transmutation of the human descent and the human lineage, and it is replaced by the divine descent of your soul as sons and daughters of the Most High God.


I bow before Melchizedek and I say, “Hail, I AM THAT I AM! Hail, thou priest! Hail, Melchizedek! Hail, thou holy one! Hail, thou holy one of God!”...


Therefore, you see, the blessed Melchizedek has come to us, as to the World Teachers, and he has said, “I have a plan. I will come. I will answer the calls of Keepers of the Flame. I will bequeath the momentum of my light of sacred fire, of purity, and I will take upon myself those who would be chelas of the sacred fire.”


Precious ones, the intensity of the light of this Order of Melchizedek is reserved for those who see in the path of the [[chohan]]s of the seven rays an acceleration. And therefore you must put on the vibrant colors of the mantles of the chohans and then see how they vibrate, see how they begin to rotate and whirl and intensify until you perceive the white-fire core behind every manifestation of the rainbow rays.


Beloved ones, our Melchizedek, whom you may have known (even as Abraham knew him<ref>Gen. 14:17–20; Heb. 7:1–10.</ref>), is very real, very tangible, and very much a part of this company. Why? Because a standard—a standard as a circle of wholeness—is kept. The standard of obedience to the Law enables the ascended masters to step through the veil through the spoken Word and through your very temples of living light.


The purity and the sacredness of our community must not be compromised—no, not by the messenger, not by the staff, not by any Keeper of the Flame. For by being the standard-bearer and bearing the banner of the [[World Mother]], you secure for this generation the transfer of light, energy, consciousness, and the teaching, the illumination that is required.<ref>Kuthumi, “Revolutionaries for the Coming Revolution: An Outer Order of the Priesthood of Melchizedek,” {{POWref|66|29|, August 1, 2023}}</ref>

== The service of the Order of Melchizedek today == 


Archangel Zadkiel speaks of the service of this priesthood:


<blockquote>
The role of the priesthood, beloved, is to tend the flame of life at the altar of temple and home and heart. The calling of the priesthood is to never let go, or go out, the flame of life. First and foremost, the flame must be kept by these committed ones on behalf of the planetary and solar evolutions. The priesthood are keepers of the flame on behalf of those souls evolving on various rungs of the ladder of life, extending the grace and the mercy and the ritual of the seventh ray that they might find their own God-mastery, petal by petal.


Thus, the priest of the Order of Melchizedek is also self-effacing, his motto “He must increase, but I must decrease.”<ref>John 3:30.</ref> The meaning of this statement made by [[John the Baptist]] is that the priest cedes his place to the one who comes after him, and he thereby ascends another level vibrationally. Therefore he does decree that the one who is capable of receiving his torch that is passed must increase in that position and he who does go on must decrease at that level, even as he, too, shall increase at the next level.<ref>Archangel Zadkiel, “The Priesthood of the Order of Melchizedek,” {{POWref|29|57|, November 9, 1986}}</ref>
</blockquote>


The Priesthood of Melchizedek is very active on the earth today. In a landmark dictation given in Portland, Oregon, May 28, 1986, Saint Germain announced a dispensation whereby one hundred and forty-four thousand priests from the Priesthood of Melchizedek formed a violet-flame Maltese cross over the city:


<blockquote>
Blessed ones, the event that brings me to this city is both ancient and recent. The ancient event, as recorded here in akasha, is a misuse of the light—in some cases by those who have reincarnated here and tarry for the opportunity to balance that karma, and in some cases by those who are not recalled to the scene of this misuse.


Beloved, there are many sincere hearts in this area and state, as you are well aware; for I count you among them most certainly. Therefore, I would intercede in a danger you know not of, which is the return of that karma, cycle for cycle, in this hour of planetary karma returning. The intercession, then, is invoked through the council of [[Temple of Purification|Lord Zadkiel’s retreat]] and the priesthood of Melchizedek.


There is a violet-ray priesthood, beloved. Therefore, during this meditation, a procession of priests of the sacred fire have marched from that retreat to this area, forming by their bodies of light a Maltese cross.... Thus, beloved, the four arms signify the release into Matter of a sacred fire.


The members of the order of this ancient priesthood are ascended masters all. They long ago attained that victory that is yours to enter in this hour. They come from ancient temples prior to the desecration thereof on lost continents where they themselves achieved the honor of the white fire and the entering therein. They have come, then, to give protection and an immense fire of transmutation that that return of karma might be mitigated or entirely consumed. This consuming and transmutation must take place in the physical through the intercession of yourselves and your heart flames receiving the violet flame, calling it forth, and welcoming a cooperative endeavor of these one hundred and forty-four thousand priests of the Order of Melchizedek who have placed their bodies this night in this giant Maltese-cross formation.

<translate>

'''Maximus''' (meaning “God is great”) is the authority in the [[Sun behind the sun]] for the Great Maxim Light, which is the first cause behind the effect we have called the [[Cosmic Egg]].


In a [[dictation]] in 1977, Maximus explained the nature of his service and the meaning of his name:


<blockquote>
The word has many connotations, and it is a point for the centering of consciousness on a certain light of Mother—the ''MA'' of a cosmos and the ''I'' of individualization, and again the confirmation of ''M''other within the ''US'' of the [[Elohim]], of [[twin flame]]s, and of [[Alpha and Omega]]. And the mighty ''X''-factor in the center of the word is the nexus of the turning of the cycles for the integration of the flow of the Buddha and the Mother over the figure-eight pattern.


You will note that the sign of the ''X'' is the abbreviation for the sign of the figure eight. You simply erase the curves and you are left with the ''X'' in the center. Maximus! [''MA-X-I-M-US''] It is the representation of dedication to the Mother of all life and to all that is suspended within her womb.


I AM a light, a kindling light of worlds. My service to life is in the center of the [[Flaming Yod]]. My service to life is in the center of the Elohim. And when I say “my,” I include in my self-awareness a numberless array of [[cosmic being]]s, all of whom are dedicated to that flame, that flame of cognizance of the almighty Maximus.<ref>Maximus, “The Energy of the Great Central Sun,” {{POWref|20|29|, July 17, 1977}}</ref>
</blockquote>


In 1979 Maximus explained that he has come by dispensation in response to the call:


<blockquote>[[Alpha and Omega]] promised me aeons ago in the very hour of the great rebellion that when certain sons and daughters of light should so accelerate and so expose that rebellion, when certain bands of saints should commune and sound the [[Spoken Word|Word]], when that Word should be heard in far-off worlds, and when the power and the thrust of that Word should reach a certain intensity, then I would be sent to follow the sound back to the source and there to undo the misuse they have made of the light of Maximus itself. Therefore I come. It is yet a limited dispensation.</blockquote>


He then released the sound of the tone of Alpha and Omega into the earth.


<blockquote>
It is a rippling of light. It will accomplish its work.... I smile because I know what is the ultimate ending and beginning of the sound. I know how it will resound in hearts and strike a chord of love. I know, for I am Maximus, and I have been Maximus for a long, long time and space and for a wide, wide eternity.


I know, for I have sounded the sound of the Word in other systems of worlds. By the Word, the worlds were framed. By the Word, the worlds are unframed. By the Word, and only the Word, is the [[Luciferian]] creation no more. They know me even as they know you. They have succeeded in postponing the sounding of the sound by casting out their nets, dark nets. They do their fishing at night while children sleep, and they catch the souls and draw them through the astral plane, programming souls asleep to their own net gain.


But it is no more, for with the awakening of the Buddha [[Gautama]], with the awakening of the light of the [[Cosmic Christ]], with the point of contact in the hearts of the few, the cycles roll and the appointed hour is struck.<ref>Maximus, “I AM Maximus,” August 11, 1979.</ref>
</blockquote>


[[Archangel Michael]] says of Maximus:


<blockquote>You may apply to him for “the [[Maxin Light|Maxim Light]].” But you must understand the path of chelaship and receive the interior correction of the Christ mind and receive all emissaries of God, of the heavenly hosts and of the messengers beneath, that you might quickly respond and not resist the will of God that is in the heart of the Maxim Light.<ref>Archangel Michael, “The Chela of the First Ray,” {{POWref|30|35|, August 30, 1987}}</ref></blockquote>


This is the great light borne by the great ones such as [[Melchizedek]], and it was the light that blazed upon the altar of the Incalithlon, the great central temple of [[Atlantis]].


[[Mother Mary]] teaches that we can call to Maximus to ratify and maximize a previous victory on the world scene:


<blockquote>A victory can be magnified, can be multiplied, can be maximized through the heart of Maximus for maximum benefit to those individuals who as yet have not had the arcing of that externalization of the [[threefold flame]] that has brought about a victory in one area of the globe.<ref>Mother Mary, “Light of My Heart, I Give to Thee,” {{POWref|24|58|, March, 1981}}</ref></blockquote>


We can also maximize our calls when we pray for one another. For example, if we are praying for one son of God who is beset by [[suicide]] and the [[Annihla|demons of suicide]], we can maximize or prayers and call for all children of the light who are burdened by thoughts of suicide. God is infinite, and he can multiply himself a billion times over.

Mary, the mother of Jesus

[[File:0000163 mother-mary-by-ruth-hawkins-2106AX 600.jpeg|thumb|<translate> Mother Mary, by [[Ruth Hawkins]]</translate>]]

<translate>

'''Mother Mary''' is the archeia of the fifth ray and [[twin flame]] of [[Archangel Raphael]].

== Service on Venus == 


Although an archangel, Mary has also taken physical embodiment. Mary dwelt on [[Venus (the planet)|Venus]] prior to taking embodiment on earth, to which planet she was assigned by the [[Lords of Karma]] to show forth the raising of the feminine ray subsequent to the fall of [[Eve]]. There she served among the evolutions whose energies focalize on the [[etheric plane]] and who for thousands of years have sustained, through the laws of harmony and love, the culture of the Divine Mother.


Through a long period of sojourn on Venus, Mary was prepared to come to earth and to challenge mankind’s perversion of the [[cosmic honor flame]]—of the fiery crystal spirals of obedience to God’s laws that sustain the very movements of the atoms and the rhythm of heavenly bodies. She came bearing a generous portion of the fires of [[Lady Master Venus|Lady Venus]], charged with her love, and carrying the responsibility to redeem the feminine nature in all mankind.

== Embodiments on Earth == 

=== Atlantis === 


In the early days of [[Atlantis]], she served in the Healing Temple, tended the flame and studied the healing arts and the disciplines necessary for precipitation. At that time, she developed great concentration and consecration to the [[immaculate concept]]. It was her consciousness and momentum more than any others that sustained the flame in the temple and expanded its influence throughout Atlantis. The purity of her heart flame and her devotion shone upon her face and was evident to all who frequented that Temple. She remained a temple virgin during that entire embodiment.

=== Mother of King David === 


In the days of the prophet [[Samuel]], Mary was called to be the wife of Jesse and the mother of his eight sons. Ever fulfilling her role as the Mother ray, Mary, in this incarnation of her soul on earth, magnified the light of the seven rays of the Christ in the first seven sons of Jesse. But in the youngest, [[King David|David]], she glorified not only the full complement of virtues from the prism of the Lord, but also the majesty and mastery of the [[eighth ray]], which David exemplified in his reign and extolled in his psalms.


David himself was reembodied as [[Jesus]], and thus in the Psalms, the Israelites have recourse to the teachings of one who has attained Christ-mastery while Gentiles also reflect upon the meditations of the Saviour, all striving for the same goal set forth by him who is known as both the king of Israel and of the [[New Jerusalem]]. And so it is not surprising that today in the Cenacle overlooking the city of Jerusalem, Christians pray in the Upper Room on the site where Jesus and the disciples celebrated the Last Supper, where Christ appeared after his resurrection, and where the descent of the Holy Spirit took place. And in the lower level of the same house, there is a temple where Jews worship at the Tomb of David. Nor is it surprising to those who offer praise to her name that Mary is the Mother of both the Judaic and the Christian dispensations.

<translate>
=== Mother of Jesus === 


In her final embodiment, Mary came forth under the direction of hierarchy, chosen of God to bear [[Jesus the Christ]], who would demonstrate the laws of [[alchemy]] and the victory that every man must attain over sin, sickness and death. In early childhood she was placed in a temple for training in the science of the immaculate concept. Her twin flame, Archangel Raphael, together with members of the angelic host and the [[God and Goddess Meru]], assisted her in the development of the Mother principle in order that her consciousness might become a womb for the seed of the Christ.


During childhood she focused in her outer consciousness those momentums she had developed long ago on Atlantis and at inner levels before taking embodiment. When Mary was still a young girl, Joseph (an embodiment of [[Saint Germain]]) was sent to be the guardian and protector of Mary and Jesus. Together, the three members of the Holy Family composed the threefold flame that was not only the basis for family unity but also for the entire Christian dispensation.


For thousands of years prior to taking embodiment, Mary had invoked the momentum of the fifth ray and studied how to hold the perfect image or blueprint of the Christ and of the specific precipitation that was the requirement of the hour—a flower, a temple, a flame, a work of art or an entire civilization. Whatever the precipitation, there must be one lifestream who is dedicated to its manifestation, who visualizes its components and through whose consciousness the energizing power of the Holy Spirit flows in order it give it form and life. This is the activity of the representative of the feminine ray of the Motherhood of the Godhead. Mary fulfilled that role for Jesus, and therefore, through her consciousness came the purity and the power and the love that enabled him to fulfill his mission.


During the final three years of his ministry, after his return from the Far East, where he studied in the Himalayas under [[Lord Maitreya]], his guru, Jesus entered public life. This period was a great test for Mary, and only her momentum on the fifth ray enabled her to sustain the matrix of victory unto the very end.

==== Later years ==== 


After the forty-day period during which Jesus appeared to the apostles and the holy women in the upper room, Mary gathered together the inner circle of devotees who had made themselves ready to partake of the initiatic mysteries, gathering often to receive instruction, to receive the sacred Word of Jesus Christ. By the descent of the [[Holy Spirit]] on the day of Pentecost these were made the body of God upon earth whose souls by their consecration formed the foundation of the Christian Church.


Mary the Mother was the acknowledged head of that community of lightbearers—the center of the circle of apostles, disciples and holy women. She was the veritable fountainhead of Christic energies that flowed throughout the Holy Land, the Mediterranean and Asia Minor, wherever the good news of Christ the light of the world was spread abroad. From Mary’s heart concentric rings of fire—the fire of the Holy Ghost—moved outward as the ever-widening embrace of the Father-Mother that holds all of humanity in the geometry of love.


It is believed that Mary spent the last years of her life in Jerusalem and made her transition from the Holy City about the year 48. According to local tradition, John took Mary to Ephesus for a time to escape persecution in Jerusalem. Examining the various traditions surrounding the passing of Mary, we find that evidence takes us back to the Cenacle, the upper room in which the Last Supper was held and in which the apostles met after Jesus’ departure from their midst. In the Acts of the Apostles we read that the apostles “all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus and with his brethren.”<ref>Acts 1:14.</ref>


It is said that the Mother of the early Church kept the flame of the Mother on behalf of earth’s evolutions on [[Mount Zion]] in a house overlooking the city and the temple, the Cedron Valley, and the Mount of Olives. There in the upper chamber that became the gathering place of the disciples and where the first Christian church was established, Mary served the Logos during her final years of glory. It is in this place that Christians guard the memory of the dormition, or “falling asleep,” of the Blessed Mother.

== Her ascension == 


Saint John of Damascus describes how at the close of this magnificent embodiment of service and initiation, Mary ascended from a tomb in which the apostles had placed her body after her passing. Upon opening the tomb three days later, they found only twelve white lilies.


After her ascension, Mary was made representative of the [[World Mother]] with a title of Queen of Heaven for the Christian Dispensation. Although all ascended lady masters keep the flame for the World Mother as her representative, we think of Mary as the archetype of Motherhood, the Mother of mothers.


Until 1954 Jesus and Mary held the focus of the masculine and feminine rays for the sixth dispensation. At that time, Saint Germain and [[Portia]] assumed the office of directors for the coming age on the seventh ray for the seventh dispensation.

== Mary’s appearances == 


Mary’s ascension is celebrated on the 15th of August. Since her ascension, Mother Mary has appeared throughout the world, producing many miracles of healing. She set the stage for these appearances in the later years of her final embodiment, when she visited various areas of the world accompanied by [[John the Beloved]] and five others. They went first to the [[Ascension Temple|retreat at Luxor, Egypt]], and then on a voyage by boat to the Island of Crete across the Mediterranean Sea, through the Straits of Gibraltar, stopping at [[Fátima]] in Portugal, [[Lourdes]] in Southern France, [[Glastonbury]] in the British Isles and Ireland. In all these places, Mary and those serving with her drew focuses of the fifth ray, establishing the flame of science, healing and precipitation, preparing the way for those who would come after her to amplify the Christ consciousness.


These visits laid the foundation for the work of the [[apostle Paul]] in Greece and her own appearances at Fátima and Lourdes. The [[Holy Grail]], the cup used by Jesus at the last supper, was buried in a well at Glastonbury. Here was planted the flame of the Christ, which later inspired [[King Arthur]] to form the Knights of the Round Table and to engage in the quest for the Holy Grail.


[[Saint Patrick]] drew upon the focus of the [[threefold flame]] placed in Ireland and later taught the mystery of the Trinity, using the shamrock to illustrate the oneness of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The emerald-green [[healing flame]] remains the symbol of Ireland and the remembrance of that journey long ago by those seven representatives whose devotion to the seven rays enabled them to succeed in paving the way for the expansion of Christianity throughout Europe and ultimately the Western Hemisphere.

== The age of the Mother == 
</translate>

[[File:0000398 virgin-mary-holding-globe-4806AX 600.jpeg|thumb|<translate> ''The Virgin of the Globe''</translate>]]

<translate>

The [[Aquarian age]] is the age of the Mother and the Holy Spirit. It is the age when we are meant to experience and express the Mother aspect of God. Coming to understand this feminine aspect of God can liberate the creative feminine energy within us, both man and woman—the energy of beauty and creativity, [[intuition]] and inspiration.


The concept of God as Mother is not new to Eastern spirituality. The Hindus meditate upon Mother as the Goddess [[Kundalini]], describing her as the white light, or the coiled serpent, that rises from the base of the spine to the crown, activating levels of spiritual consciousness in each of the [[chakra]]s (spiritual centers) through which that light passes along the way. Whether we are male or female, we are intended to raise this sacred light of our innermost being that lies dormant within us. The key to unlocking this energy, the Kundalini, is adoration of the Mother principle.


The raising of the Mother light is a part of Western tradition also. It is for this purpose that Mother Mary appeared to several of the saints with the safe and sound method of raising the Mother light through the [[Hail Mary]] and the [[rosary]]. The saints have been portrayed with a white light, or halo, around their heads because they have raised the Kundalini and opened their crown chakras. They have entered into the bliss of God. The great Christian mystics such as [[Saint John of the Cross]], Saint [[Thérèse of Lisieux]] and [[Padre Pio]] have all had this inner experience—so filled with the divine passion, the bliss of the Beloved, as to defy comprehension.

== The Hail Mary == 


As we enter this new era, Mother Mary has released a New Age Hail Mary and a New Age rosary. In giving the Hail Mary, Mary has asked us to affirm that we are sons and daughters of God rather than sinners. She also asks us to affirm our victory over sin, disease and death.


::Hail, Mary, full of grace
:::the Lord is with thee.
::Blessed art thou among women
::: and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.


::Holy Mary, Mother of God,
::Pray for us, sons and daughters of God,
::Now and at the hour of our victory
::Over sin, disease and death.


The impact of Mother Mary’s service and intercession throughout the centuries is almost incalculable. She urges us to fast and pray and to give the rosary. Mother Mary has said:


<blockquote>I extend to you, then, access by the rosary—''by the rosary''—to my causal body, to the attainment on those [[Fourteen stations of the cross|fourteen stations]] that I have gained throughout my long spiritual history. I give you, therefore, the opportunity to receive that power and attainment that God has given me as my great Teacher. And as I am his servant, this I transmit to you that it might become close to the physical world and the physical problem through your own physical body and heart.<ref>Mother Mary, “To Prick the Conscience of the Nations,” {{POWref|27|48|, September 30, 1984}}</ref></blockquote>

== Mary’s service today == 


Today she works with the master [[El Morya]] and the [[Darjeeling Council]] in their service to the will of God on behalf of all mankind. She has a blue cape focusing that will and its intense protection for the Christ consciousness emerging within every soul, and when called upon, she will place that cape around all who are in need of the protection of a mother’s love. She renders assistance with [[Archangel Gabriel]] in preparing the way for the incoming children, in teaching the parents and in guiding the [[body elemental]]s in forming their physical bodies.


Mary’s focus of the Sacred Heart in the Resurrection Temple is the focus of the threefold flame commemorating the mission of the Christ of the Holy Trinity. Her service with Saint Germain and Jesus laid the foundation for two thousand years of Christian belief and service and also for the coming age.


Mary says, “My appearances through the centuries have centered on the request for prayer and for the giving of the rosary for the saving of souls. Millions have been saved because millions have responded to my call.”<ref>Mother Mary, February 24, 1980.</ref> In her appearances at Fátima, [[Medjugorje]] and other places in the world, Mary has told of what may come upon the earth if we do not heed her warnings.


In 1984 Mother Mary said:


<blockquote>I live with the Fátima prophecy. I live with its message. And I go from door to door and heart to heart knocking, asking for those who will come and pray with me—pray the violet flame or the rosary or the calls to [[Archangel Michael]]. But above all, pray. For by thy prayer is the open door extended, and the angels come stepping through the veil to prevent disaster and calamity.<ref>Mother Mary, “The Continuity of Being,” {{POWref|27|63|, December 30, 1984}}</ref></blockquote>


Miracles have occurred again and again through her intercession. When the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima in 1945, eight men living eight blocks from the center of the nuclear blast were miraculously untouched. One of them, Father Hubert Shiffner, S.J., explained, “In that house the rosary was prayed every day. In that house, we were living the message of Fatima.”<ref>Francis Johnston, ''Fatima: The Great Sign'' (Washington, N.J.: AMI Press, 1980), p. 139.</ref>


This blessed Mother is fierce in the protection of her children and outspoken on the ills of society:


<blockquote>The land is plagued with darkness upon the screens of the invention of the motion picture. The land is plagued with darkness over the churches devoted to honor my Son’s name. The land is plagued with darkness as the political candidates struggle among themselves seeking a temporal crown.... The [[elemental]]s have communicated recently with one another, and they are preparing to execute cataclysmic strands of destruction that have only begun in the world order. And this shall come to pass unless the teachings of God shall be fulfilled in the hearts of many men and women presently totally dedicated to their own selves without understanding the great needs of humanity.<ref>{{MMN}}, pp. 258, 260.</ref></blockquote>


<blockquote>Until a correct understanding of the [[I AM THAT I AM]] be made known across the land, governments will fall, economies will crumble, churches will come to ruin, darkness will cover the land, famine will be present, and souls will be lost.<ref>Mother Mary, “Behold the Handmaid [Shakti] of the Lord!” December 31, 1977.</ref></blockquote>


<blockquote>Within my Sacred Heart is the acceleration of light this day ... unto the judgment of those who have persistently denied the miracles of the Virgin Mary.... Let there be the judgment of the [[false teachers]] who have stolen into the churches with their false theology.... Everyone who has interfered with the birth of these little ones—everyone who has advocated [[abortion]] from the pulpits of the churches, I tell you they will suffer exactly the karma that is written in sacred scripture spoken by my Son,<ref>“But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea” (Matt. 18:6).</ref> and it will not be withheld this day!<ref>Mother Mary, “The Right Arm of the Mother,” January 28, 1979.</ref></blockquote>

== The immaculate concept == 


Mother Mary is one of the great teachers of mankind. She instructs us in the science of the [[immaculate concept]], the pure concept or image of the soul held in the mind of God. The immaculate concept is any pure thought held by one part of life for and on behalf of another part of life, and it is the essential ingredient to every [[Alchemy|alchemical]] experiment without which it will not succeed. The ability to hold the image of the perfect pattern to be precipitated, to see the vision of a project complete, to draw a mental picture, to retain it and to fill it in with light and love and joy—these are keys to the science that Mother Mary and Saint Germain teach.


God is the supreme practitioner of the science of the immaculate concept. No matter how far man might wander from his individuality, God ever beholds man in the image of Reality in which he created him. This science of the immaculate concept is practiced by every angel in heaven. It is that law that is written in the inward parts of man, known by his very heart of hearts, yet dim in the memory of his outer mind. It is based on the visualization of a perfect idea that then becomes a magnet that attracts the creative energies of the Holy Spirit to his being to fulfill the pattern held in mind.

Maria Montessori

[[File:768px-Maria Montessori (portrait).jpg|thumb|<translate> Maria Montessori</translate>]]

<translate>

The ascended lady master '''Maria Montessori''' is a chela of [[Mother Mary]], and wearing her [[mantle]], she has set forth the fundamentals of ascended master education for the [[Aquarian age]]. She was a messenger of the hierarchy in the field of education, and she took her instruction from Mother Mary and from [[Jesus]] and [[Kuthumi]].


Maria Montessori was born in Italy in 1870 and became Italy’s first woman medical doctor. When she was serving as a doctor in Rome, she was given an assignment to care for the kindergarten children in the slums of the city. By observing the children, she developed what has come to be known as the Montessori Method.

== The Montessori Method for education == 


Maria Montessori discovered that children have very different and unique qualities that no one had ever noticed. She found that these qualities can be liberated and set free in the proper environment with the proper conditions.


One of the first things she noticed when dealing with children was that they would rather work than play. Children are very industrious, and if their work is organized, they can develop inner patterns that assist their development.


Children have great power for concentration and a tremendous love for order. Children between the ages of two and seven are great creatures of ritual. They love to do things in order. The goal of the child is not to get the job done, but to do it systematically. Montessori understood that the patterns of order and logic that are developed in the child through physical motion later enhance the child’s ability to learn, to concentrate and to study.


Montessori found that children have a keen sense of touch, that they learn with their hands more than they even learn with their eyes, and so she developed systems of what she called sensorial development. Children also like freedom of choice. The Montessori classroom is designed to allow each child to select the set of blocks or the training material that he will then use at that specific moment—it is a cosmic moment—when his soul is ready to develop around that particular point.


Children age two and one-half through six are all in one classroom so that the younger children can see the more advanced work of the older children and they can learn from their example. A Montessori teacher’s role is to direct the child toward the exercises.


In a Montessori classroom you will find little children at their tables preoccupied for great lengths of time, concentrating on their lessons. They have an amazing power of concentration. They learn mathematics with concrete equipment such as beads or blocks designed to teach the association of numerals and quantity. They learn writing and reading, but they do it according to the pattern of their own unique inner development. Children are not rushed or forced to do something that does not come easily and naturally to them. The teacher’s role is to encourage independent learning as the child listens to his own inner teacher. Maria Montessori discovered that the call of the universal child is, “Help me to do it myself.”


All of these things were revealed to Maria Montessori by the children themselves. She said that all she did was watch the children, and they taught her the method.


The Montessori method is intended to bring out the Christ potential of the child, as the child follows the direction of the inner teacher and selects in the classroom certain equipment and exercises that are appropriate for fulfillment of the inner and spiritual needs of the child and to bring forth the inner attainment. The combined freedom and order in the Montessori classroom is the true Aquarian-age education.


The Montessori method for children was inspired upon Maria Montessori by Mother Mary. Mary explained that this was the method she had devised with Elizabeth for teaching [[John the Baptist]] and Jesus when they were children.

== A revolution in education == 


The God and Goddess Meru have said:


<blockquote>
Thus, let us understand that Maria Montessori was one spokesman for the revolution in education, and you are another when you are the instrument of your Christ Self. And there are others throughout the fields of education in America and the world. When you pick the best fruits from the tree of education, you find that you have a basket that is acceptable not only to the Ascended Lady Master Maria Montessori, but to Mother Mary and [[Magda]] and Jesus and John the Baptist, for whom this very method was developed.


And therefore, you cannot keep up with the revolution unless you renew your own courses of the mind—unless you come to understand that each year there is greater potential within the children and a different way of learning because the universal astrology changes, because the ages change, the years change, the dispensations descend.<ref>God and Goddess Meru, “The Battle of Armageddon in the Classrooms of America,” {{POWref|28|8|, February 24, 1985}}</ref>

Maria

On January 1, 1974, in Mexico City, [[Mother Mary]] spoke of an ascended lady master who has been known as '''Maria''':


<blockquote>
Therefore this is an origin point of the release of cycles here in Mexico City, where there is an ancient focus of the heart chakra. And that focus was established by one soul who lived here who gave her life to the heart of God, who was a saint before it was known what a saint was or is or can be. By inner attunement, by [[intuition]], but most of all by love for God, whom she personified in the light of the sun and the rays of the sun, this soul won her [[ascension]] by oneness with the heart of God, the heart of Christ and even the hearts of all mankind.


Thus [is] the record and the memory of one of those ancient priestesses who kept the flame in one of the twelve temples that surrounded the central temple of [[Mu]]. One life has left a record, and that one priestess did not fall with the others, did not forsake her duty and her calling to keep the flame. And she reembodied after that period of the temple experience and after the fall of Mu. And that final embodiment was the capstone whereby, you see, having been severed from the culture of Mu and from the precise memory of the rituals of the sacred fire, she nevertheless retained devotion, and devotion in itself, moving with harmony, became her victory and her crown.


Now you see why North Americans are often drawn to Mexico and Mexico City, because they desire also to find balance, which is the balance of heart. Yet you also have a focus of the heart chakra in [[Temple of the Crystal-Pink Flame|St. Louis]] and in Canada at the [[Heros and Amora's retreat|retreat of the Elohim Heros and Amora]]. There at Lake Winnipeg, the release of love forms an arc to St. Louis, another arc to Mexico City and other arcs to South American cities, where some have kept the flame of devotion. And many have kept that flame, although not quite to that degree which was held by this soul.


Therefore I have brought with me this ascended lady master this day, whose name has not been revealed by the [[Brotherhood]], whose name shall not be revealed this day. But in her devotion to my flame, to the Cosmic Virgin, many have called her Maria—Maria for Mary, for Mother-ray.


And that name will always be the impersonal-personal action of the feminine ray for all who espouse the raising of feminine life, feminine energies, for the exaltation of the masculine and of Spirit’s release.<ref>{{MMD}}, part 3, chapter 10.</ref>

Manjushri

[[File:Bodhisattva Manjushri as Tikshna-Manjushri (Minjie Wenshu) MET DP164061.jpg|thumb|<translate> Statue of Manjushri from the Ming Dynasty, China</translate>]]
[[File:Manjushri from Rig Sum Gonpo (Lords of the Three Families).jpg|thumb|<translate> Manjushri</translate>]]

<translate>

'''Manjushri''' is a great [[Buddha]] and a [[bodhisattva]]. In Buddhist teachings, Manjushri is the Bodhisattva of Wisdom. Wisdom is wise dominion—of yourself, your aura, your entire being. It is wise dominion of all affairs that are entrusted to you and of all individuals who come under your care.


Wisdom is the most esteemed virtue in Buddhism. The virtue of wisdom has been called the “Mother of all Buddhas,” because only wisdom can totally liberate one from suffering. Yet without love and allegiance to the will of God, wisdom itself is not sufficient.


Buddhists see Manjushri as a “herald of emancipation.” He is also revered as the patron of arts and sciences, the master of eloquence, and the principal guardian and patron of astrologers. Buddhist writers traditionally invoke Manjushri’s assistance, and they often begin their books with verses or prayers in his honor.


Buddhists appeal to Manjushri for intelligence, wisdom, mastery of the teaching, the power of exposition, eloquence and memory. He is the patron of literature who uses the [[Word]] consciously as a tool of liberation—as a sharp [[sword]] that cuts through ignorance. We can call to Manjushri for gentle or sweet enlightenment.


Though Manjushri is referred to as a bodhisattva, he is believed to have the enlightenment of a Buddha. Some traditions say he became a perfectly enlightened Buddha many aeons ago in another universe.

== In Buddhist lore == 


According to Buddhist lore, Manjushri felt compassion for the people of China because they lived so far from India, where Lord [[Gautama]] had incarnated. He therefore took a vow to help the people of China and established his [[Pure Land]] in the Five-Mountain Paradise of northern China. A Pure Land is a spiritual realm or paradise presided over by a Buddha, a place created by Buddhas for their disciples that is ideal for their discipleship.


Some texts say that Manjushri also has a Pure Land in another universe, where he manifests as the perfect Buddha he actually is. His earthly Pure Land in northern China is a favorite site for pilgrims; devotees of Manjushri travel there, hoping to catch a glimpse of him. It is said that only those who are truly purified can see him. But even then, it takes a certain mastery to recognize him, because he often appears disguised as a poor man or an orphan.


For those whose karma prevents them from seeing him physically, he sometimes appears in dreams that may be out-of-body experiences, remembered clearly just before we reenter our bodies in the morning. One Zen master says, “There are some student monks who look for Manjushri at Five-Mountain Paradise, but they have already taken the wrong road. There is no Manjushri at Five-Mountain Paradise. Do you wish to know where he is? There is something this very moment at work in you, showing no tendency to waver, betraying no disposition to doubt—this is your living Manjushri.” In other words don’t look for him outside of yourself, look for him working inside of you within the very walls of your being.


The Sanskrit name ''Manjushri'' means “gentle glory” or “sweet glory.” In Tibetan iconography Gautama Buddha is often depicted with Manjushri on his left and [[Maitreya]] on his right. Manjushri represents the wisdom aspect of the bodhisattva ideal and Maitreya the compassion aspect. Thus, Maitreya and Manjushri represent two sides of the coin of the bodhisattva path.


Professor Robert Thurman writes, “There are different persons on different stages of the path at different times. Different teachings are elaborated for their benefit that emphasize wisdom or compassion. The team of Maitreya and Manjushri, heading the two main branches of the great tree of this philosophical tradition, assure [us] that the balance never goes too far in either direction.”<ref>Marilyn M. Rhie and Robert A. F. Thurman, ''Wisdom and Compassion: The Sacred Art of Tibet'' (San Francisco: Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, 1991), p. 20, 21.</ref>


In Buddhist art, Manjushri is often portrayed as a handsome sixteen-year-old prince. His complexion is usually a golden yellow, and he holds in his left hand the stem of a blue lotus blossom. On the blossom rests a book representing one of the Prajna Paramita scriptures, which deal with the realization of ''prajna'', or wisdom. With his right hand he wields a flaming sword of wisdom to vanquish all ignorance. This sword has been referred to as “a sword of quick detachment.”

== Manjushri’s mantras == 


The ascended master Manjushri says, “If you choose to recite my mantras, I will assist you in coming to the oneness of the mind of God.”<ref>Manjushri, “You Have the Mind of God!” {{POWref|37|21|, May 22, 1994}}</ref> The following are Manjushri’s mantras:


'''Om Ah Ra Pa Tsa Na Dhih''' is given to help develop wisdom, memory and the understanding of the scriptures. The final syllable, ''Dhih'', is Manjushri’s [[bija]], or seed syllable. The essence of a [[cosmic being]] is concentrated in his bija. The bija may be given alone or repeated as many times as possible after the final repetition of the mantra.


'''Om Wagi Shori Mum''' is given to increase the effectiveness of communication and to deliver the Word. It means “Hail to the Lord of Speech!” Manjushri is known as the Lord of Speech and is revered as a master of eloquence.


'''Gate Gate Paragate Parasamgate Bodhi Svaha''' invokes the wisdom of the Prajna-paramita scriptures and can also be given to Manjushri. It means “Gone, gone, gone beyond, gone wholly beyond—Enlightenment, hail!” or “Proceed, proceed, proceed beyond, proceed completely beyond—be founded in enlightenment!” This mantra can propel us beyond illusion and the illusory self into Reality and the Real Self.

== Advice for the path == 


Manjushri says:


<blockquote>
I AM for your taking wise dominion over the earth and for your wise taking care of all resources available to you.


I AM for practicality. I AM for your making that which is the nearest right move, even though it be not the perfect move of the moment that you would prefer.


Above all, do not stagnate. Do what you can do within the hour, within the day, within the year. Plan well. But for God’s sake, do not do nothing! For this is not the age of do-nothingness for the chelas of Manjushri and Maitreya and Gautama. This is the age of accelerated doingness.


We see many on earth operating at high stress levels because they attempt to catch up with the workings of the mind of God within themselves, but they go about it in a human way, and thus, their bodies suffer. Sometimes, just when they are at the peak of their careers, they find that they must deal with problems in their physical bodies that are overwhelming.


I say, light the way! Be the lamplighters in the earth and know that the lighting of the way to balance in the [[four lower bodies]] is the great gift of kindness, the great gift of enlightenment that you can give to many....


I AM Manjushri, and I have a great sense of humor. And you will know that sense of humor in your own life if you give my mantras. For it is humor on the Path that truly delivers you from the all-too-serious levels of [[fallen angel]]s.<ref>Ibid.</ref>

Maha Chohan

2026-06-04T22:52:26Z

PeterDuffy:

<languages />
[[File:0000189 maha-chohan-2232AX 600.jpeg|thumb|upright|alt=caption|<translate> The Maha Chohan</translate>]]

<translate>

'''The Maha Chohan''' is the representative of the [[Holy Spirit]]. The one who holds this office in hierarchy represents the Holy Spirit of the [[Father-Mother God]], of [[Alpha and Omega]], to the evolutions of this planet and to the [[Elementals|elemental kingdom]]. The retreat of the Maha Chohan, the [[Temple of Comfort]], is located on the etheric plane with a focus in the physical at the island of Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon), where the flame of the Holy Spirit and the flame of Comfort are anchored.


His twin flame is [[Pallas Athena]], Goddess of Truth.

== The office of “Great Lord” == 


''Maha Chohan'' means “Great Lord,” and the Maha Chohan is the Great Lord of the seven [[chohans]], the director of the seven chohans of the rays. Among the qualifications for this office in [[hierarchy]] is the attainment of [[adeptship]] on each of the seven rays, which merge into the pure white light of the Holy Spirit. With the seven chohans, he initiates our souls in preparation to receive the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit, spoken of in 1 Corinthians 12:4–11.


The first three [[root race]]s, each of which completed their divine plan in the allotted 14,000-year cycle, had their own representatives of the Holy Spirit who graduated into cosmic service with their respective root races.

[[File:614px-William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905) - Homer and his Guide (1874).jpg|thumb|alt=caption|<translate> ''Homer and his Guide'', William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1874)</translate>]]

<translate>
=== Homer === 


The one who currently holds this office of Maha Chohan was embodied as the blind poet Homer, whose epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey, include his twin flame, Pallas Athena, as a central figure. The Iliad tells the story of the last year of the Trojan War, while the Odyssey focuses on the return home of Odysseus—one of the heroes of the Trojan War.


Historically, little is known about Homer, but most scholars believe he composed his poems in the eighth or ninth century B.C. Even at that time, Homer attuned his consciousness with the comfort flame, and the radiance he sustained with the focus of his own heart flame was a great blessing to elemental life.

=== Shepherd in India === 


In his final embodiment as a shepherd in India, the light that he quietly drew forth kept the flame for millions of lifestreams. He gained his mastery by consecrating his four lower bodies as a chalice for the flame of the Holy Spirit and his consciousness as a step-down transformer for the emanations of [[Sanat Kumara]], the Ancient of Days.


The Maha Chohan has said of that embodiment:


<blockquote>I have been a shepherd in many lifetimes, caring for the sheep on the hillsides while praying to God to deliver me that I might bring deliverance to his own whom he entrusted to my care. And in the midst of my implorings to the Godhead, I was often taken up out of the body into the heaven-world and escorted by angels to academies of the Spirit where, under the tutelage of the one who held the office of Maha Chohan before me, I qualified myself to wear the mantle of the Holy Spirit.<ref>The Maha Chohan, “I Plead before the Court of the Sacred Fire for the Illumination of All Servants of God,” {{POWref|38|33|, July 30, 1995}}</ref></blockquote>

== The Holy Spirit == 


Since the Spirit of God infuses nature and man as the life-giving essence of the sacred fire, the representative of the Holy Spirit must be qualified to interpenetrate all substance through the diffusion of his consciousness and also to draw forth the flame that sustains life in man and nature through the focalization of his consciousness.


The element that corresponds to the flame of the Holy Spirit is oxygen. Without that element, neither man nor elemental life could continue their service. The consciousness of the Maha Chohan is, therefore, comparable to the [[Great Central Sun Magnet]]. He focuses the magnet upon the planet that draws to the earth the emanations from the sun that are required to sustain life.


Assisting him in this service are legions of white-fire angels who minister unto the pure white flame of the Holy Spirit of Alpha and Omega anchored in the magnificent altar of the sacred fire in his etheric retreat over the island of Sri Lanka. These angels draw the essence of the sacred fire from that flame to sustain the [[Prana|pranic force]] throughout the [[four lower bodies]] of the planet.


Also serving the Holy Comforter are pink-flame angels who tend the focus of the comfort flame in the central altar of his retreat. In an adjoining flame room, there is anchored in a crystal chalice bordered with crystal doves a white flame, tinged in pink, with gold at its base, emitting a powerful radiance of divine love. These angels carry the emanations of these flames to the four corners of the earth to the hearts of all who yearn for comfort and purity from the Father-Mother God.


The twin flames of the Holy Spirit manifested as cloven tongues of fire on the day of [[Pentecost]] when the disciples were filled with the Holy Ghost.<ref>Acts 2:3.</ref> When Jesus was baptized, “he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting upon him.”<ref>Matt. 3:16.</ref> The dove is the physical symbol of the twin flame action of the Holy Spirit, which may also be visualized as a V with wings, a focus of the masculine and feminine polarities of the Deity and a reminder that God created twin flames to represent his androgynous nature.


In the presence of the Maha Chohan and within the walls of his retreat, one feels the rhythm of the Holy Spirit, the pulsations of the sacred-fire breath of God, releasing the flow of life from the [[Central Sun]] into the hearts of all evolving upon this planet.


The Maha Chohan has referred to the Holy Spirit as the great unifying coordinator who,


<blockquote>
... like unto a mighty weaver of old, weaves a seamless garment of ascended master light and love. The shuttle of God’s attention upon man drives forth radiant beams of descending light, scintillating fragments of purity and happiness, toward earth and into the hearts of his children, whilst the tender risings of men’s hopes, aspirations, invocations and calls for assistance do pursue the Deity in his mighty haven of cosmic purity....


As a tiny seed of light, the Holy Spirit enters into the heart of the earth, into the density of matter, that it might expand throughout the cells of form and being, of thought and perception to become a gnosis and an effulgence in the cup of consciousness. This Holy Grail of immortal substance may be unrecognized by many who pass by, but to many others it will be perceived gleaming from behind the veil. Shedding the light of that divine knowing that transcends mortal conception and is the renewing freshness of eternity’s morn, it vitalizes each moment with the God-happiness that man cognizes through infinite perceptions cast as fragments into the chalice of his own consciousness.<ref>The Maha Chohan, “The Descent of the Holy Spirit,” {{POWref|7|48, November 27, 1964}}</ref>
</blockquote>


In 1974 the beloved Maha Chohan said:


<blockquote>The [[Karmic Board]] has decreed that at this hour in the evolution of this lifewave and this planetary home, there has come that moment when the cosmic clock has struck. It is the hour when mankind must receive the Holy Spirit and prepare the body temple to be the dwelling place of the Most High God. In this hour of the appearing of that Spirit, it is necessary that certain numbers of mankind are purified to receive that Spirit. For unless they receive that flame and that awareness, the world as a place of evolution as you know it today will cease to exist. For you see, the balance of all phases of life and evolution cannot continue unless the Holy Spirit becomes the quickening energy and the life and light of man and woman. When the clock strikes midnight and 1974 gives way to 1975, in that moment will be the release of the spiral of the Holy Spirit to the entire planet.<ref>The Maha Chohan, “A Tabernacle of Witness for the Holy Spirit in the Final Quarter of the Century,” July 1, 1974.</ref></blockquote>


Then the Maha Chohan told us that the release of the final quarter of the century was “a cosmic spiral that will be for the full realization of the Holy Spirit in man, in woman, in nature, in holy child. And the probation will be a twenty-five-year period to see whether enough among mankind will be able to maintain a tabernacle for the Holy Spirit through sacrifice, surrender and self-purification.”<ref>Ibid.</ref>


The Maha Chohan ministers to every person on earth as we enter this world and as we exit it. At the moment of that birth, he is present to breathe the breath of life into the body and to ignite the [[threefold flame]] that is lowered into manifestation in the [[secret chamber of the heart]].


The Maha Chohan also attends at the [[transition]] called death, when he comes to withdraw the flame of life and to withdraw the holy breath. The flame, or divine spark, returns to the [[Holy Christ Self]], and the soul, clothed in the [[etheric body]], also returns to the level of the Holy Christ Self. Similarly, he will minister to you at every crossroad in life, if you will but pause for a moment when making decisions, think of the Holy Spirit and simply say the mantra, “Come, Holy Spirit, enlighten me.”


The radiation of the Maha Chohan is drawn through the musical composition “Homing,” by Arthur Salmon.

[[File:Paolo Veronese, The Conversion of Mary Magdalene.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|<translate> ''The Conversion of Mary Magdalene'', Paolo Veronese (c. 1548)</translate>]]

<translate>

The ascended lady master '''Magda''' is the [[twin flame]] of [[Jesus]]. Her devotion to the Christ, and particularly to the master Jesus, through the centuries has enabled her to build a great momentum of his healing power. She holds the flame of hope to all who desire to overcome the temptations of the world.


Two thousand years after the ascension of her twin flame, Magda ascended from the [[Ascension Temple|Retreat at Luxor]]. She has been an initiate at Luxor since her final incarnation as the evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson (1890–1944).

== Embodiments == 

=== Mary Magdalene === 


Magda was embodied as Mary Magdalene, out of whom Jesus cast seven demons. Her victory attests to the fact that all who truly desire to be free are indeed worthy of the great Master’s love and may invoke in his name the power of God that will expel the unclean spirits that have gained entrée into the temple of being. Indeed, earth is a schoolroom upon which the evolutions of other planets and solar systems may gaze and see the great miracle of the ascension of those who have descended to the depths of self-degradation before they came to the realization of the Christ and then determined with him to overcome every negative momentum that has brought about the fall of man or woman.

=== Later embodiments === 


In 1974, Magda spoke of her later embodiments:


<blockquote>
I came to realize, as on Easter morning when he came to me and in the period of communion in the Upper Room,<ref>John 20:11–23; Acts 1:12–14; 2:1–12.</ref> that his message contained not only the worded release but also the potential for victory. And I realized that as he had been the saviour of my soul, of my life, so I too could be that instrument. Like a giant electrode, I could focus the flame of the Christ and expand it to all generations. And so it was granted to me to be reborn again and again in this service.


In each succeeding life I retained the memory of that precious moment, that experience when the darkness fled and light filled my body. And I found that the testing of the Lord was given in order for me to master, as he mastered, each of the centers of being. The Lords of Karma gave to me a lifetime for each of those centers in order to gain mastery and victory. This was so that I might bring forth the fruits of victory in all of the seven rays for the glorious return of the ascension.<ref>Magda “All Energy Is Destined to Return to God,” {{POWref|61|13|, April 1, 2018}}</ref>
</blockquote>

[[File:16474u.jpg|thumb|<translate> Aimee Semple McPherson</translate>]]

<translate>
=== Aimee Semple McPherson === 


{{main|Aimee Semple McPherson}}


The story of Aimee Semple McPherson’s life shows that she spent her life intensely in the service of God. She enthusiastically preached Jesus’ message of healing and salvation worldwide. Thousands flocked to her revival meetings where they were caught up in the rapture of her soaring devotion to her Lord.


In 1917, Aimee began her monthly magazine, ''Bridal Call'', writing and editing on the road as she carried her ministry from city to city. In 1919, prior to a sermon in Baltimore, Maryland, Jesus spoke to her about her ministry: “When you lay your hands on them, I will lay my hands on yours. And all the time you are standing there, I will be standing right back of you. And when you speak the Word, I will send the power of the Holy Ghost. You are simply the mouthpiece of the telephone. You are the key on the typewriter. You are only a mouth through which the Holy Ghost can speak.”


In Oakland, California, July 1922, Aimee presented a sermon “The Vision of Ezekiel” and received the inspiration from Jesus to call his message “the Foursquare Gospel” of Jesus the Saviour, Jesus the Baptizer with the Holy Spirit, Jesus the Healer, and Jesus the Coming King. On January 1, 1923, she opened the Angelus Temple in Los Angeles, her international headquarters. There she preached to thousands, sometimes in a costume designed to express the theme of her sermon. (For example, for the sermon on “God’s Law” she dressed in a police uniform.) From 1923–26, Aimee stayed close to the Angelus Temple. She opened her 24-hour-a-day Prayer Tower, LIFE (Lighthouse of International Foursquare Evangelism) Bible College, and her radio station KFSG (Kall Four Square Gospel).<ref>For further information about Aimee and her life, see Aimee Semple McPherson, ''This is That'' (New York: Garland, 1985); ''Aimee: Life Story of Aimee Semple McPherson'' (Los Angeles: Foursquare Publications, 1979).</ref>


Aimee was also greatly persecuted and stood alone through great challenges, but during her entire ministry, she lived in anticipation of the day Jesus would come to receive her as his waiting bride. She ascended at the conclusion of that lifetime, and on November 22, 1990, Jesus Christ announced that Magda had finally balanced 100 percent of her karma, over forty-five years after her transition.

== Reflections on her life as Aimee == 


The ascended lady master Magda later spoke of this and of her life as Aimee:


<blockquote>
I rejoice to have experienced the arduous years during which I was balancing my karma. And those years were indeed arduous, for I had not embraced the [[violet flame]] that was being released when I was serving in California.


Thus, with all that I had of Jesus’ love and all of the service I gave throughout the world (even traveling by ship to Australia and to the far corners of the earth), when I passed from the screen of life, I still had my karma to deal with. And then it was, that I saw and understood and accepted the [[violet flame]].


But for many decades, I had to apply the violet flame, not only to my immediate past life but to many prior lifetimes. And this was simply because I was never given the knowledge of the violet flame when I was embodied. The clergy of Christianity, both Protestant and Catholic, never accepted [[Saint Germain]] or his gift of the violet flame, and therefore they never taught it.


Do you realize that I served in the Angelus Temple in Los Angeles at the same time that [[Guy Ballard|Guy]] and [[Edna Ballard|Mama Ballard]] were also preaching and giving the teachings of the violet flame?


How tragic it is that so many have become locked into orthodoxy so that they cannot open their minds and see the shafts of violet flame that permeated the auras of the saints who came out of the I AM movement and made their ascensions precisely because they accepted Saint Germain’s violet flame.


Thus, I will say it again and again: How wondrous it is to invoke the violet flame while you are here on earth! How wondrous it is that you can project the violet flame into the distant past and the distant future! How wondrous it is that the violet flame has saved so many souls, that it has lightened their load and brought them to that place where they could make their ascensions!<ref>Magda, “Transmute the Past and the Future,” {{POWref|40|36|, September 7, 1997}}</ref>
</blockquote>

== The mission of Jesus and Magda == 


Jesus and Magda have explained:


<blockquote>
Each two thousand years we have come with a profound message and sacrifice of our very life to reach out to your twin flames, to woo you back to the great temples of the [[Brotherhood]] and to the school of [[Maitreya]].


You must understand that your father and mother, even [[Adam and Eve]], are, in a sense, the archetypal pattern of many twin flames who went forth from the mystery school, lured by the temptations of great interest and dominion in the political, economic and social realms that were presented by the Serpent, representing that band of angels who are the scribes, who are the sophists, who pose as the sages but are not the true wise men from the East.


Thus, you see, there will always be the temptation to master another round of worldly knowledge that is seen as the key to enlightenment, the key to the resolution of the world’s problems.


Blessed hearts, people have had great knowledge and science and invention for tens of thousands of years. Have they saved the world from self-destruction? Have they got to the very core of life and being? Recognize a long, long history of millions of years of trying to solve the problems of the Matter equation without, sans, the garment of the etheric temple....


We have deliberated, our [[Mother Mary|Mother]] [the Virgin Mary] with us—Magda and I—concerning what we might give to you of the highest and best fruits of our own wisdom and experience, seeing as we see the long continuity of the evolution of thy soul and all that we have encountered. Blessed ones, if it were not so treacherous, the earth would be in the golden age today and you would be walking as masters among men....


This, therefore, is our commitment and our gift—that those who find they have the division within the members, pulling this way and that—which the apostle Paul spoke of so understandingly, so personally and so poignantly—may then call to us and ask for the transfer of the coil of fire.


Note the word: ''coil of fire''—the coil of myself and of beloved Magda representing the Alpha, the Omega. When these are meshed, they form the divine caduceus. These two coils are of gold. They are of gold as you would visualize golden wire of the purest, finest quality of gold with no alloy.


Thus, this brilliant, sun-fire gold coil meshed together forms the caduceus of Alpha and Omega. It is not large. These coils are precisely the size large enough to surround each one’s physical spinal column from the base unto the crown.


Now, those sincerely desiring to pass over the dark night and the astral plane of their karma and downward momentums, those who desire to transmute all of this through divine service and chelaship, those who would vow the vow of obedience, chastity and poverty may therefore appeal for this gift. We will supply it.


And by the coil of gold, by this coil of fire, beloved hearts, and by your pursuing the path of the novitiate, of the holy brother and the holy sister of the divine order, you may reach that point, by the coil and by service, of the transmutation of those elements of being that pull in all directions as horses going in diverse corners who will not submit to the discipline of the driver.<ref>Jesus and Magda, “A Torch of Responsibility,” {{POWref|27|62|, December 26, 1984}}</ref>
</blockquote>


You can call to Magda. She has lived on earth, and she knows of the ''via dolorosa'', the sorrowful way. She has walked by our side for many centuries. Now she says that she is just a little bit ahead of us on the path of life. Magda’s charity is boundless. She can help you to form a relationship with her twin flame, beloved Jesus. You can invoke her particular momentum and ability to rise from the lowest state of consciousness to the highest overnight, the forsaking of the human with its concepts of good and evil and the embracing of the Christ who stands in the center of one’s own temple of Being. With complete faith in the words of the Master, “Thy sins be forgiven thee,” she carries the torch of hope to all who are seeking the higher way.

The ascended lady master '''Lotus''' was last embodied as '''Edna Ballard''', [[Saint Germain]]’s [[messenger]] in the [[I AM Activity]], which was founded in the early 1930s. Her [[twin flame]] is the messenger [[Guy W. Ballard]], now the ascended master [[Godfre]]. Through them Saint Germain first released the knowledge of the [[violet flame]] to the world.

=== Golden age in the Sahara Desert === 


{{main|Golden age in the Sahara Desert}}


Lotus, Godfre and their son Donald were all embodied more than fifty thousand years ago as the children of Saint Germain, the hierarch of a golden-age civilization in the area where the Sahara Desert now is.

=== Joan of Arc === 


{{main|Joan of Arc}}


Lotus was later embodied as Joan of Arc (1412–1431), who was given a mission from God to rally the French armies and drive out the invading English forces.

<translate>
=== Later embodiments === 


She was also embodied as Elizabeth I of England (1533–1603), and as Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790), who played a very influential role in the founding of the American nation.

=== Her final embodiment === 


Edna Ballard, often called Mama Ballard by her students, used the pen name of '''Lotus Ray King'''. She went through tremendous trials and persecution during her time as messenger. In Los Angeles in 1940 (the year following Godfre’s [[ascension]]), federal criminal indictments were brought against Mrs. Ballard, her son Donald and others for alleged fraudulent solicitation of funds through the mail. Despite strenuous objections by the defendants’ attorney, a jury was in effect given the task of deciding whether the Ballards really believed what they taught and wrote about their messengership and the ascended masters.


Over a period of six years, ''United States vs. Ballard'' went through two trials and an extended series of appeals, during which Mrs. Ballard was at one point convicted and sentenced to a year in prison and fined $8,000, although the prison sentence was later suspended. Soon thereafter, the Post Office Department issued an order denying use of the mail to the I AM Activity. In the face of adverse media coverage and extreme prejudice within the criminal justice system, Mrs. Ballard and her students fought on, and their efforts culminated in the U.S. Supreme Court throwing out the conviction in 1946. The written opinion from the case has often been cited in subsequent litigation to prohibit judicial inquiry into the truth or falsity of religious beliefs.


The ascended lady master [[Magda]] spoke of the service of the Ballards and of their persecution. She said that we would not have the opportunity to give the violet flame and ascend “if Saint Germain and Godfre and Lotus had not been willing to bear the utter persecution, the trial, the lies in the newspapers regarding the I AM movement. You have also been persecuted in your time, but those days of the I AM movement were horrific and without parallel.”<ref>Magda, “Transmute the Past and the Future,” {{POWref|40|36|, September 7, 1997}}</ref>


On November 18, 1970, Edna Ballard gave her final [[dictation]] before her transition. On February 12, 1971, she made her ascension and became the ascended lady master Lotus.

== Her mission today == 


Lotus spoke in 1973 of her service and of the ongoing mission of the messengers:


<blockquote>
Some of you here knew me in my last embodiment, and you called me Mama. I desire that you should address this salutation to the [[Mother of the Flame]]; for I transfer to her this night my momentum of victory with the legions of light, and I give to her the mantle of my authority and my messengership under Saint Germain....


I speak now directly to those students who were with me in the I AM Activity, and I say to you, regardless of all evidence to the contrary or of anything that might have passed from my lips while I was in embodiment, I do espouse and back with my total heart flame this activity and this messenger as the continuing outpost and release of the [[Great White Brotherhood]] and of Saint Germain to this age.


For I understand from ascended levels of consciousness the nature of the ongoingness of hierarchy. And although there are only two messengers of the [[Brotherhood]], the two messengers constitute the office of the [[two witnesses]] spoken of in the [[Book of Revelation]]. This, then, is a high and holy calling to which twin flames are ordained in every age.


Thus, as there is only one Christ, so there are many manifestations of the office of the Christ; and as there are offices in hierarchy, so the opportunity to serve in those offices is given to ascended and unascended sons and daughters of God as they evolve in the hierarchical scheme of the [[Great White Brotherhood]].<ref>Lotus, “The Mantle of My Authority,” {{POWref|17|2|, January 13, 1974}}</ref>

[[File:Philippe de Champaigne - Moses with the Ten Commandments - WGA04717.jpg|thumb|<translate> ''Moses with the Ten Commandments'', Philippe de Champaigne (1648)</translate>]]

<translate>

'''Lord Ling''' was embodied as '''Moses''' during the mid-fourteenth to the mid-thirteenth centuries B.C. During that lifetime as the Hebrew prophet, statesman and lawgiver, God Ling was inspired by his guru, a cosmic being who sponsored the Hebrew people, and by [[Micah]], the Angel of Unity.

== Embodiments == 

=== Moses === 


Moses was born about three hundred years after the death of Joseph, son of Jacob. At that time, the Israelites had multiplied in Egypt and become a large population. According to the book of Exodus, which tells the story of Moses, a pharaoh came to the throne who did not know Joseph. He enslaved the Israelites, but still their large population and strength troubled Pharaoh. He ordered all the Hebrews to cast every son who was born to them into the river.
</translate>

[[File:Moses - Alta-Tadema.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|<translate> ''The Finding of Moses'', Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1904)</translate>]]

<translate>

When Moses was born, his mother hid him until he was three months old. Then she made an ark of bulrushes and put him in it. She put the ark in the river. Pharaoh’s daughter found Moses and took pity on him. Moses’ sister was standing by to watch him. She told Pharaoh’s daughter that she could find a Hebrew woman to nurse him. Then she went and got Moses’ own mother. Pharaoh’s daughter adopted the child and paid his mother to nurse him.


The Bible tells us that Moses “was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.”<ref>Acts 7:22.</ref> In fact, he had performed great deeds of merit and passed many tests in previous lifetimes. His soul was chosen for the mission because he had proven himself.


Moses lived as an Egyptian of princely rank until he was about forty years old, when Exodus records that he “went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren. And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.”<ref>Exod. 2:11–12.</ref>


In this, Moses’ first act of public record, he took the law into his own hands and for the first time allowed his sympathy for the Hebrews to be known. Though God preordained Moses to “Let My People Go,” Moses was a man like other men, and God did not exempt him from the law of [[karma]]. For this and other reasons, Moses did not attain union with God at the end of his mission with the Israelites. God required him to reincarnate to balance his karma.
</translate>

[[File:Domenico Fetti 004.jpg|thumb|<translate> ''Moses before the Burning Bush'', Domenico Fetti (c. 1616)</translate>]]

<translate>

Moses fled Egypt to the land of Midian, where he lived for forty years. The Bible tells us that it was there that “the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.” The LORD said, “I have seen the affliction of my people in Egypt, have heard their cry. I know their sorrows.” Then he commanded Moses: “Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.” Moses said, “When they ask me what is your name, what shall I tell them?” God said, “I AM THAT I AM: Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.”<ref>Exod. 3:2, 7, 10, 14.</ref>


After the land was smitten by ten plagues, the Egyptian pharaoh finally agreed to let the Israelites leave, and Moses led them on their journey through the wilderness to the Promised Land.


At one point in their journey, God called Moses to Mount Sinai for forty days and forty nights to receive the first set of tablets of the Law. But while he was there, the children of Israel rebelled against God and guru. These tablets were inscribed with the covenants that God would make with a holy people. They contained lengthy, detailed statements outlining the way a people sponsored by Sanat Kumara should follow the path of discipleship under the Law and under the guru.


The children of Israel were called to be a holy people, but they were not embodying the holiness of God at that time. In Moses’ absence, they worshiped the golden calf. When Moses descended the mountain and saw the people’s stubbornness and their embracing of the god of materialism, he broke the tablets. The detailed covenants were thereby lost and later replaced with ten simple commandments, which God inscribed on a second set of tablets. The people’s test would then be the “test of the ten,” which is the test of the solar-plexus chakra.<ref>Sanat Kumara gives a detailed account of this episode in Moses’ mission in {{OSS}}, pp. 33–39.</ref>


After leading the children of Israel for forty years through the wilderness, Moses was not permitted to enter the Promised Land, but only to view it from Mt. Nebo just before his passing, because in anger he smote the rock to receive the waters rather than to lovingly invoke them and receive them.<ref>Num. 20:3–12.</ref> And although he liberated the Hebrew people from Egyptian slavery, Moses did not balance his [[threefold flame]], for his service was lacking in the quality of joy. His pink plume of divine love did not match the fiery intensity of his devotion to the will of God.

<translate>
=== Ananda === 


In Moses’ next embodiment, as Ananda during the sixth century B.C., he became the disciple of Lord [[Gautama Buddha]]. Here, at the feet of the most advanced initiate on the planet, he learned how to render service in love and to tap the peace and understanding that come from within the golden flame of illumination.

=== Lord Ling === 


Following that embodiment, he lived in China as Lord Ling, one of the ruling class whose high attunement with the [[Brotherhood]] enabled him to serve his people through the balanced action of the threefold flame. At the close of that embodiment, he ascended to become the '''God of Happiness'''. He then devoted himself to the bright-gold flame of joy on behalf of all evolving upon this planet, for he recognized that without this quality, one cannot ascend nor render a just service unto God and man.

== Reflections on his lives == 


Lord Ling has spoken of his embodiments as Moses and Lord Ling:


<blockquote>
I myself did pass into another incarnation, and you have known me in my final embodiment as Lord Ling of China. There I perfected the wisdom, fulfilled the balancing of my karma and did espouse the flame of God-happiness. This I did in view of the great mourning and depression that is carried by so many of the children of Israel and Judah who have gone forth in a state of burden of their karma and in a state of depression concerning their absence of knowledge of the true path of salvation and the promise of heaven and victory on earth.


Some are even wed in a greater way to materialism than they were in the moments when we were in the wilderness and at the foot of Sinai. Yes, beloved, materialism and the pleasures of the senses are addictive. Far from getting better, these addictions get worse.


Thus, I engrave, as God does engrave in your hearts, the true mysteries of the kingdom, the true understanding of the requirements of the Law and the Path. If you are not able to read this writing, know that it does burn within you, that it is a living fire, that it is the fire infolding itself. It is the all-consuming fire of God that will, if you allow it, consume in you all those manifestations less than the fulfillment of the Law.


May you early seek the sacred fire and then the [[violet flame]] and then the calls unto the seven [[archangel]]s. For those of you who have descended from this seed of [[Abraham]], who also descended ultimately from the seed of [[Sanat Kumara]], do indeed have a destiny in this hour; for your training in the ancient [[Golden age of Jesus Christ on Atlantis|golden-age civilization of Jesus Christ]] does fit you to be true shepherds.


Thus, Jesus knew to whom he was speaking when he said, “Feed my sheep.”<ref>John 21:16, 17.</ref> There are those who are rightly able and called by their karma and destiny of dharma to feed the souls of the millions upon earth. I call you all to this calling, for you may be adoptive sons who have chosen to enter in to claim your joint heirship with Jesus of the sonship that does belong to all of this seed of light. Therefore, whether you are adoptive sons or count yourselves as those who truly trace their traditions to the beginnings, I am come to draw you into the office of the high calling of your destiny.<ref>Lord Ling, “The Code of Life for the Initiate,” {{POWref|34|32|, June 30, 1991}}</ref>
</blockquote>

== His service today == 


God Ling maintains a focus of the flame of joy in the retreat of [[Jophiel and Christine]] in [[Jophiel and Christine's retreat|Central China]]. He often frequents this and other retreats of the Brotherhood, and he uses the flame of joy as a focus, a divine magnet, to draw mankind into the ascended masters’ consciousness. His momentum of great joy gives him a sense of the abundant life, the life holy and beautiful.


When invoking an abundant supply “of every good and perfect gift,” one should call to God Ling in addition to the [[God of Nature]], the [[God of Gold]] and [[Fortuna]], the Goddess of Supply.

[[File:100664M-medres.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|<translate> Listening Angel</translate>]]

<translate>

Embracing the pink and golden flames, this beloved [[angel]] and the legions in her command are assigned by [[Alpha and Omega]] to listen to the prayers, the heart calls, the innermost thoughts of the mankind of earth and to carry their prayers on wings of light to the Almighty for his disposition.


Listening Angel and her legions are holy comforters, friends who listen in time of need and give the wisdom and compassion of their hearts to mankind as they pour out their troubles to these angel visitants. Her flame of compassion is anchored in the [[Temple of the Sun]] over the island of Manhattan.


We can learn much from Listening Angel, who says:


<blockquote>
The prayers of children, as their hearts speak through their souls after they have left the body to sleep at night, are the most precious of prayers that we hear out of all the earth. Children pray for graces, not for toys.


Children remember God, for they are yet small and still can peep through the veil beyond the octaves to their home of light. Children come with a desire to console their parents, fully aware that their parents are burdened by many cares and concerns of the world. Oh, what a blessing it is to nurture these fine sensitivities of children and their sense of being so close to God through angels!


I AM indeed your Listening Angel, and I have numberless bands of angels who are listening not only to the prayers but to the many types of expressions of the people of earth: their frustrations, their angers, their self-pity, their feelings of aloneness in a wide, wide world where there is no real depth and no longer the capacity for intimacy in spiritual matters, in communion with God or with another heart. And are not these prayers also?


Many people on earth suffer, as you know, and they do not pray. Therefore, we must listen to the expressions of the soul that may not be articulated, for their pain is so great. Listening angels are there when people pass from life in agony and when there is the joyous birth of children.


Listening angels are there to comfort souls whose bodies are being aborted, and therefore, whose missions are being aborted. Oh, we tend these souls with greatest care that they may not be scarred when they must enter once again the womb of life and perhaps make another try and another before someone will receive them instead of closing the door and snuffing out the breath of life.


Earth, then, and her people are dealing with more karma than they have dealt with in many centuries (if it were possible, and it is indeed possible that this is so), and therefore the weight that people feel in their bodies is a weight of anguish.


Some have accommodated themselves and created accommodations with life, and therefore they consider themselves well-balanced, happy—having all that they want of creature comforts. Yet, many of these have lost contact with their souls, and they do not experience God. For they have cut off their soul faculties, and although they consider themselves rich and increased with goods and having no wants whatsoever, they do not know that their souls feel naked and without anything.


There are many who cut off not only their own soul but their own divine spark, their own reason for being, and they cut off the angels and God also. And they are very, very sure that they are right in every position they take—social, economic, political.


All of their views are, of course, right. Yes, beloved ones, so sure are so many who ought not to be sure at all, for they have not the real and living contact with their own soul or with God.<ref>Listening Angel, “Teach the Children!” {{POWref|35|60|, December 4, 1992}}</ref>

<translate>

The ascended lady master '''Leto''' teaches students on the Path how consciously to leave the body and to reenter at will and also how to draw upon the experiences in the masters’ [[retreat]]s during the sleep of the physical body.

== Embodiments == 


Leto’s [[twin flame]] is the ascended master [[Alexander Gaylord]]. Godfré Ray King’s book ''The Magic Presence'' recounts how Alexander Gaylord, while yet in embodiment and working for the Brotherhood, went on missions with Leto, who had ascended more than three hundred years earlier.<ref>Godfré Ray King, ''The Magic Presence'', 5th ed. (Chicago: Saint Germain Press, 1982), pp. 187–214.</ref>


Gaylord and Leto were embodied in the [[Inca]] civilization. At that time, he was a public servant and she was a devoted scientist, both highly attuned with the spiritual hierarchy. Drawing upon the healing focuses of the world, Leto has rendered great assistance to mankind, especially during periods of plague. As a scientist on [[Atlantis]] and later as a mystic in China, she devoted her energies to the precipitation of the flame of truth.

== Her service today == 


Leto speaks of her service:


<blockquote>As some of you know, I have dedicated my lifestream to the science of the Divine Mother for many centuries, and in our [[Master of Paris' retreats|retreat in Paris]], serving with the [[Master of Paris]] and my twin flame, Alexander Gaylord, we have made many discoveries, not only discoveries of a scientific nature but those that show us how we can better communicate to the children of men the knowledge of the sacred laws of the universe, which, when applied, will give mankind their freedom.<ref>Leto, “Do You Remember? The Crown of the Divine Mother,” January 2, 1972.</ref></blockquote>


She is currently conducting scientific experiments and teaching the laws of alchemy to a select group of students.


The action of her flame is purple tinged with gold; appropriately, she wears a purple cape lined with gold. Her fragrance is heather and her radiation can be drawn through the melody “The Heather on the Hill,” from ''Brigadoon''.

Leto says:


<blockquote>
With the fragrance of heather I bring to your heart’s remembrance the love of twin flame and of little child. I bring to your heart the remembrance of love of the inner teacher. I am Leto, and heather is a symbol of my love of the Holy Spirit in nature and my devotion even to the light in the people of Scotland and the British Isles and many throughout the earth who are tied to me through the inner [[mystery school]]s and the work we have done together on the continent of Europe in the early ages when we set forth writings on the mysteries of Christ. It was a group of souls whose hearts were one, and we toiled into the night to leave a record and a memory of the indwelling light. Then again, you have come with me to the [[Persian retreat|inner retreat of the Brotherhood in Persia]] where [[Cha Ara]] has called you to an understanding of the mysteries of the sacred fire and the path of [[Zarathustra]].


I am a teacher of youth of every age. I taught [[Rex and Nada, Bob and Pearl|Rex and Nada and Bob and Pearl]], and I come to welcome you to the [[Cave of Light]], retreat of the [[Great Divine Director]] in India, for here are activities for acceleration of candidates for the ascension. I especially work with children and youth who desire to give this lifetime to that path and to an extraordinary service to America, to [[Saint Germain]]. The color of violets, when meditated upon, will draw you nearer to the violet heart, the purple heart that I carry in the name of Saint Germain.<ref>Leto, “Welcome to the Cave of Light,” July 4, 1979.</ref>

Leonora

<languages />
<translate>

The ascended lady master '''Leonora''' is a patroness of science and invention. We can call for her to oversee the release of inventions and the correct knowledge for the protection of all that our nations need through the government and armed services. She works with [[Saint Germain]] in the [[Cave of Symbols]]. One of her inventions that was seen there by [[Guy Ballard]] was a radio that could pick up signals from any location on the earth, as well as other planets. It could also communicate with the etheric belt around the earth and with the interior of the earth.


Lady Leonora warns about the misuse of science and technology. She comments on techniques of mind control based on hypnotic designs and autosuggestion that would attempt to replace the Christ consciousness with so-called scientific methods:


<blockquote>
Learned by rote, these methods will supposedly make man a master of himself. He is told that he will need no help from any other, save those who would make merchandise of him by promising to communicate to him the techniques of mind control. These, he is assured, will enable him to bend not only his own mind but also the minds of others at will. Thus, there is produced [[psychic]] domination by a psychic technology that would wrest the secrets of life from heaven itself.


Let those who tamper with higher law beware, for in olden times, it was this tampering that broke the lines of cosmic communication between unascended man and the Reality of God. By setting up a system of domination of self by self, men sought to establish a personal oligarchy that would require help from no one, not even from God himself.


The spirits who direct such unwholesome activities will tell men first that they have the means within themselves of going directly to God, that they require no instruction or aid from anyone except the Deity himself. Then, after they have convinced people of their own inner powers, they subtly introduce the lie that since they are doing so well on their own, perhaps they don’t really need Him after all.<ref>Leonora, “Mind Control,” {{POWref|13|34|, August 23, 1970}}</ref>
</blockquote>


Leonora explains that the way to emancipation comes only through the Christ consciousness.


[[Mother Mary]] has urged us to call to Leonora:


<blockquote>Let America awake and pursue diligently the things of spiritual glory. And as America pursues the glories of Spirit, let it also pursue the necessary scientific advances of the age. I think it well if mankind would call to beloved Saint Germain and the lady master Leonora that a greater release of science and invention may be given so that it will become less possible for the powers of shadow to attack the [[democracy]] and the places known as the citadels of freedom.<ref>Mother Mary, August 15, 1962.</ref></blockquote>

[[File:0000216 lord-lanto-2333AX 600.jpeg|thumb|alt=caption|<translate> The Duke of Chou, an embodiment of Lord Lanto</translate>]]

<translate>

[[Chohan]] of the second ray; an ascended master in whose presence the sublimity of the mind of God can be touched and known. A master of sages and philosophers, Lord Lanto teaches us the path of attainment through enlightenment, definition, and dominion in the [[crown chakra]].


Having studied under Lord [[Himalaya]] and gained his mastery in the [[Retreat of the Blue Lotus]], Lord Lanto elected to use the yellow plume to enfold the hearts of all mankind. He is dedicated to the perfectionment of the evolutions of this planet through [[Cosmic Christ]] illumination. The golden flame that he bears is charged with the momentum of God-victory for the youth of the world.

== Embodiments == 

=== Volunteer with Sanat Kumara === 


Lanto volunteered with [[Sanat Kumara]], the Ancient of Days, to come to earth long ago for the rescue of the planet and her evolutions. One of the original Keepers of the Flame, he played a role in the earliest efforts of Sanat Kumara to fetch humanity from their darkened descent.


The bands who volunteered to accompany Sanat Kumara on his mission to the dark star sought nothing less than the rekindling of the Divine Spark in mankind who, through de-evolution, had lost the original fire and animating intelligence (genus) of their Divinity. This they purposed to do from the altar of [[Shamballa]] through the Great One who had exiled himself on planet earth for the sole purpose of keeping the flame of Life.

=== Lemuria and Atlantis === 


He was a High Priest in the temple of the Divine Mother on the continent that sank beneath the Pacific, known as [[Lemuria]]. He had other incarnations on [[Atlantis]], as did all of the chohans of the rays.


In the last days of Lemuria, those who tended the flames upon the altars of the temples were warned of the coming cataclysm. They removed their flames, carried them to places of safety, and deposited those flames in other physical retreats or removed them to the etheric octave. It was Lord Lanto who carried the flame of precipitation and deposited it in the area of the Grand Teton mountains in North America.


The [[flame of precipitation]] is a Chinese green tinged with yellow of the second ray. This flame burning in the [[Royal Teton Retreat]] is the quality in consciousness that makes Americans extremely practical, developing an applied science in technology that takes us back to the time of Mu when that technology even exceeded what we have today. It is a flame of abundance that enables the precipitation of wealth as well as happiness and joy and the Universal Christ consciousness.

=== Duke of Chou === 


Lord Lanto embodied in ancient China as the Duke of Chou, (d. 1105 B.C.), regarded as one of the greatest statesmen in Chinese history and the true founder of the Confucian tradition. The Duke of Chou, his father, King Wen, and his brother established the Chou dynasty. They were the leaders in overthrowing the corrupt Shang dynasty and its alcoholic and psychopathic ruler.


The architect of the new government, the Duke of Chou, wrote manuals on governmental organization, ritual and propriety. He also composed music. The Duke of Chou once said, “I am only concerned with heaven and the people.”<ref>Confucius, ''Analects'' 7:13; James Legge, The Chinese Classics, 2d ed., rev. (reprint of the 1893 edition), 1:199, 68.</ref>


He and his family introduced the concept of “heaven” to the Chinese people and also established the idea of the “Mandate of Heaven,” or the divine right to rule. Those who were granted the mandate to rule had the responsibility to uphold it with integrity and honor. Thus it was their sacred duty to rule with kindness and justice. And if they did not, they would be overthrown and their high office would be taken from them.


Confucius looked to the Duke as his model and believed it was his mission to reestablish the principles and culture of the early Chou era, which was thought to have been a golden age. In his early life, Confucius often dreamt about the Duke of Chou instructing him in the ancient wisdom. In the ''Analects'' he lamented, “Extreme indeed is my decline. It is a long time since I dreamed that I saw the Duke of Chou.”


The most famous book by the Duke of Chou is ''The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine''—the oldest known book on medicine in the world. It deals with anatomy and the causes, diagnoses and treatments of diseases. It describes the transformation of energy from yin to yang and back to yin in five stages through the fire, earth, metal, water and tree. Through this circle every organ in our body has its own characteristics, according to the stage of energy by which it is created and the energy that flows through it. These characteristics are expressed physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. The principles in this book have become the foundation of the macrobiotic diet.


It is believed that Confucius was embodied at the time of the Duke of Chou and helped him implement his ideals for God-government. When Confucius reembodied in China five hundred years later, he edited the six Chinese classics, including the ''I Ching'', which had been written by King Wen.

=== Ruler of China === 


Lanto was later embodied as a ruler of China at the time of Confucius (551 to 479 B.C.) Together with his more renowned contemporaries Confucius and Gautama Buddha, he held the golden flame of illumination on behalf of the Chinese people for many, many centuries. This flame is anchored in China in the [[Jophiel and Christine's retreat|retreat of the archangels Jophiel and Christine]], which is located in central China.


This flame is the primordial light of the yellow race which when harnessed through the illumined ones gave cultural impetus to China at a time when the rest of the world, having either rejected or missed altogether the Christ flame in the ones sent, was karmically locked in an age of barbarism. The greatness of China is reflective of the consciousness of Lanto, the master who endowed her, and of the masters who endowed him—the Ancient of Days, Lord Himalaya, [[Gautama Buddha]] and Lord [[Maitreya]].


Before his ascension Lord Lanto determined that the light from his own heart flame should shine forth physically as living proof to his disciples that the threefold flame, as in past and coming golden ages, is the Word that is made flesh and that it can be thus expanded and intensified by the priority of the adept.


Affirming with (or aeons before) the proverbial Job, “Yet in my flesh shall I see God!” Lanto, by the dynamism of his decrees from the heart, his devoutness to the living Word as the Universal Christ ever with him, and his consecration of the chakras to the sacred fire of the Mother did achieve what none other in earth’s recorded history since the Fall had done: Lanto so adored the Trinity in the tripartite light of his innermost being that the intense glow of that divine spark could actually be seen through his flesh form emanating a soft golden glow through his chest. This he maintained in honor of Sanat Kumara until his ascension around 500 B.C.—“a memorial to all generations” who are the issue of the [[I AM THAT I AM]]—in order that the original lightbearers might recall the mission to illumine the dark star.

== His mission today== 


Master of the fiery core of excellence at the heart of Wisdom’s Ray, hence devotee par excellence of the Divine Mother’s white fire lilies, Lanto remains the Guru of gurus not only of the Chinese, whom he desires to assist in once again raising up the flame of illumination, but also of all souls who share his love for the golden Sunward path of the [[Buddha]]s and [[bodhisattva]]s under Sanat Kumara.


Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries Lanto has stood faithfully behind the efforts of [[Saint Germain]] to liberate mankind through his release of the ascended masters’ teachings on the [[I AM Presence]] and the [[violet fire]].


On July 3, 1958, the ascended master [[Confucius]] succeeded Lord Lanto as hierarch of the [[Royal Teton Retreat]]. With attainment far beyond that required either of retreat hierarch or chohan, Lanto accepted from [[Kuthumi]] the office of lord of the second ray on that date (this blessed brother who had worshiped the God of Peace as [[Saint Francis]] having already in 1956 joined [[Jesus]] in the office of [[World Teacher]]).


On October 30, 1966, in cooperation with the [[God and Goddess Meru]], Lanto was granted the [[dispensation]] by the [[Karmic Board]] for a “mighty transcendent golden flame of illumination” to pulsate three hundred feet into the atmosphere over the colleges, universities, divinity and theological schools of America and the world whose students and faculty were and would be receptive to knowledge from higher spheres. Any students of any school of higher learning may call this flame into action on behalf of the faculty and student body.


The ascended master Lanto conducts classes at the [[Royal Teton Retreat]], the initial retreat of the [[Great White Brotherhood]] to which the neophyte may ask to be taken. Here we learn the fundamentals of the path of [[initiation]]. Because of the [[dispensation]] of opening the seven retreats of the seven chohans, many tens of thousands of souls are receiving training at inner levels to accelerate their consciousness for the New Age.


Lord Lanto also tries to give us a sense of our worth instead of the feeling of self-deprecation so common among men today:


<blockquote>Man is a God in the becoming, but he can never know this while he thinks earthly thoughts. He can never know this by worldly knowledge, for the things of this world are foolishness with God.<ref>I Cor. 3:19.</ref> And in the eyes of God, the only real values are those that free man from the eclipse of being that has concealed the sun of God’s Presence from his eyes. And it is this sun that will awaken his spiritual senses that enable him to see with Saint Paul the face of the Master and to hear his cry “It is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.”<ref>Acts 9:5; {{UYS}}, p. 153.</ref></blockquote>


Meditation on Lord Lanto and his golden lotus flame may be accompanied by the music of “Song to the Evening Star” from ''Tannhäuser'', by Wagner ([[keynote]] of the Royal Teton Retreat). The wisdom of Lanto is excelled by few ascended beings serving this earth. His flame should be invoked daily on behalf of the youth of the world.

<translate>

The '''ascended master Lanello''' was recently embodied on earth as the twentieth-century mystic and [[messenger]] for the ascended masters, [[Mark L. Prophet]]. In this and in many previous embodiments, he and his [[twin flame]], the messenger [[Elizabeth Clare Prophet]], have served the [[Great White Brotherhood]] and sought to set forth the true teachings of Christ.

== Embodiments == 


Thousands of years ago, when the bodhisattva [[Sanat Kumara]] came from [[Venus (the planet)|Venus]] to keep the flame of life on earth, Lanello and his twin flame and other light evolutions of the planets of this solar system were among the sons and daughters of God who accompanied him. The history of Lanello’s mission is the story of a soul seized with a passion that is the love of God.

=== Master of Invocation on Atlantis === 


On [[Atlantis]], he was a priest of the sacred fire and master of invocation in the Temple of the Logos.

=== Ruler in the Incan civilization === 


Lanello was embodied as a ruler of the [[Inca]] civilization.

=== Noah === 


{{main|Noah}}


As the prophet Noah, he received the prophecy of [[the Flood]] and exhorted the people for over a hundred years.

=== Lot === 


He lived as Lot, “[[Abraham|Abram]]’s brother’s son,” in the twentieth century B.C.—the man of God in the wretched cities of the plain, [[Sodom and Gomorrah]].

Then as Mark the Evangelist, he wrote the account of the works of [[Jesus]]—the Gospel of Deeds—as confided to him by Peter the Apostle. His mother was one of the most devoted of the women disciples, and Mark remembered when, as a boy, Jesus celebrated the Last Supper in the Upper Room. He was raised an [[Essene]] and, being well-educated, was chosen Peter’s chief disciple and secretary and was taken to Antioch to assist [[Saint Paul|Paul]]. He became an exponent of the deeper mysteries of Christianity and founded the Church at Alexandria, where he was later martyred.

=== Origen of Alexandria === 


{{main|Origen of Alexandria}}


As Origen of Alexandria, he returned in the second century to the city he had known as St. Mark and was one of the most distinguished theologians of the early Church, setting forth the true teachings of Jesus Christ on [[reincarnation]] and the heavenly hierarchy. At the age of eighteen, he was appointed head of the Catechetical School—the first institution where Christians could be instructed in both the Greek sciences and the doctrines of holy scripture. He lived as an ascetic, working day and night with the crowds, lecturing and giving personal consultation. He made a thorough study of Plato, [[Pythagoras]] and the Stoics and learned Hebrew in order to properly interpret scripture. But his deep understanding seemed, to shallow, worldly minds, bizarre and heretical.


Banished from Egypt, Origen nevertheless became an honored teacher in Palestine at Caesarea where he established a school famous throughout the East. He was imprisoned during the persecution of Decius, tortured and later died. Origen left behind a massive body of writings, numbering close to one thousand titles. His books were widely used for more than a century, but not without harsh criticism. In the fifth century, Rufinus of Aquieleia translated and made significant alterations in Origen’s work, and Jerome condemned his teaching as heresy. In the sixth century, a list of fifteen anathemata were drawn up by Emperor Justinian in the Fifth Ecumenical Council, followed by the physical destruction of his writings, of which few remain today.

=== Launcelot === 


In the days of [[King Arthur|Arthur the King]], the soul of Lanello came from France as Launcelot du Lac. According to legend, the infant Launcelot was laid down beside a lake and the Lady of the Lake carried him off to her kingdom of ten thousand maidens where no man was allowed. Here he matured in great honor and purity and thus was known as Launcelot du Lac (Launcelot of the Lake). He became Arthur’s closest friend, their soul-relationship that of guru and chela, and the champion of Queen Guinevere, his twin flame.


The jealousy, intrigue and [[witchcraft]] of Modred and Morgana La Fey challenged the deep mutual love of the “trinity” of Camelot, driving wedges of distrust between king and queen, knight champion, and the other knights of the [[Round Table]], ending in the death of Arthur and most of the knights and the seclusion of Guinevere and Launcelot in respective roles as renunciates of the Church.

Born a Brahman around A.D. 440 in southern India, he converted to Buddhism and traveled to China to spread the teachings of the Buddha. The essence of Bodhidharma’s message is that we cannot realize ultimate truth or attain our own Buddhahood by means of words and letters—we must discover for ourselves our real nature, our Buddha-nature.

=== Clovis === 


As Clovis, he established the French monarchy in the sixth century. He married his twin flame, then the Burgundian princess Clothilde, a Christian, and was baptized after successfully challenging her God to give him victory in battle. He became a devoted representative of the Church, and Clovis and Clothilde became patron saints of France as the founders of the nation and patron and patroness of the poor.

He became a cardinal of the Roman Church and papal adviser, renowned for his abilities as both scholar and preacher. He was declared a doctor of the Church in 1587, and he is called the Seraphic Doctor. Together with Thomas Aquinas, a Dominican, Bonaventure played an important role in defending the mendicant orders in the thirteenth century.

At the dawn of the twentieth century, Lanello embodied in Russia as Alexis, the son of the tsar and heir to the Romanov throne.

As the twentieth-century master Mark L. Prophet, he was born in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, in 1918, the only child of Thomas and Mabel Prophet. His father passed on when he was nine, and he and his mother endured the hardships of the depression years. When a boy of about eighteen, while working on the Soo Line Railroad, he was contacted by the ascended master El Morya, calling him to his mission.


During World War II, he served in the U.S. Air Force and his training under the master continued. In 1958, El Morya directed him to found [[The Summit Lighthouse]] in the nation’s capital. Mark himself typed the first dictations given by the ascended masters, called “[[Ashram Notes]].” He was joined by his twin flame, Elizabeth, in 1961, and together they fulfilled the prophecy of Jesus set forth by [[John the Beloved|John the Revelator]] of holding the office of the “[[Two witnesses|Two Witnesses]]” and the “Other Two” in this age.<ref>See Rev. 11:3 and Dan. 12:5.</ref>

On February 26, 1973, Mark passed on and his soul ascended to the plane of the [[I AM Presence]] to carry on his work with the ascended masters and to make contact with their unascended chelas. As the ascended master Lanello, he continues to direct the activities of The Summit Lighthouse, the “Ever-Present Guru” who has said: “Ours must be a message of infinite love and we must demonstrate that love to the world.”


Lanello’s first public dictation was given April 20, 1973, just two months after his ascension:


<blockquote>
As I have thought this night upon the many subjects on which I would choose to discourse, I have drawn the conclusion that it is always the most expedient to speak of practical things, even when the heart would sing to the poetic cadences of the music of the spheres, for I am concerned that you wear my mantle—those of you that I have known for so long, for so many embodiments. And therefore, I have enlisted the service of my angels over these past weeks, thinking of what I could do to bring you my joy; and I have asked the angels to sew you a replica of my cape—my blue cape that I have worn even in the physical octave. And I have asked my angels to place that cape upon your shoulders this night, and it might very well come to pass that you shall feel even the fabric of that cape as it rustles around your ankles and around your arms.


Yes, I have fashioned a blue cape for each one of you; that is, my angels—they have taken the fashioning that I have given to them and styled a most noble garment complete with hood like the monks of old. And so before this service is concluded, these angels are going to place my cape upon you that you might also go forth wearing the momentum of my victory in many past embodiments, which I have taken forth from my causal body as a momentum of light to give unto you....


I say, you are ''all'' candidates for the ascension if you choose to be. And if you choose to be this night and in the coming weeks, then I will sponsor you and I will direct the Mother of the Flame to sponsor you also. There is no need to tarry; there is no need to go back to the old ways of the human consciousness. I say, your Christed awareness, your Christed Being, is the ''blazing'' Reality of your consciousness! It is the new day dawning within you! It is your potential of victory! It is your purity ''now''!


And I say, you do not have to wait for the [[carnal mind]] to evolve, for the carnal mind will never evolve, precious hearts; it will ''never'' become the Christ. It must be put off and cast into the flame! You have to trade in the old model and take out the new. How long will you dwell with that old model? Some of you are more tolerant of your former selves than you are of your cars that you trade in every year, but you forget to trade in the carnal mind for the Christ mind that is in the height of fashion in the courts of heaven!


And so, precious hearts, I say that of all of the warnings and all of the prophecies that I might prophesy this night, it is this one key of Christhood, and salvation through Christhood, that can give you the ultimate victory. And it is with ultimate victories that we are concerned—not with the skirmishes that are lost or won each hour and each day; nevertheless, these do count as the great [[Keeper of the Scrolls]] makes his mark in the [[Book of Life]]. But I say, sometimes when you lose in the fray, it is a lesson that needs to be learned; and a temporary loss may mean the ultimate victory, for the lesson that is gained is a measure toward perfection.


And so I say, count the experiences that you have been through as the past that is prologue; and now write the chapter, chapter one on the book of “My Christhood.” Keep a diary that is called “My Christhood,” and write down each day how the flower of the Christ is appearing in your life. And when you know you have done an act in the consciousness of the Christ, write it down and leave the record for yourself, so that in those hours of darkness and moments of trial when you forget and cannot remember one good thing you have ever done because the devils are tormenting you with their lies, then read in the book of “My Christhood” of how you have vanquished error and how you have overcome.


I say, the saga of your lives—of many of you—is beautiful to behold; for you have indeed won in small ways and in great ways. And until the last tally is taken, you never know how the Lord looks upon the balance of power within you. So keep on striving for the light, striving for the right; and know that I, Lanello, walk with you each step of the way.


I am as near as the breath that you breathe. And there is nowhere that you can go that I am not, for I have projected an Electronic Presence of myself to each one of you who will receive me. As Jesus wrote, “He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward.”<ref>Matt. 10:41.</ref> My reward is the ascension! My reward is light! And if you receive me as a prophet of your ascension, then you can have my Electronic Presence walking next to you, and I will wear my own blue cape. And they will say, “Look at those twins walking down the street.” For you will look like me and I will look like you, and who will say who is ascended and who is unascended? For did they not have a little moment of trouble in discerning the difference between Jesus and his disciples?<ref>Matt. 26:48.</ref>


So they will not know who is who. And I dare say that when the forces move their chessmen on the board of life to attack your lifestream, they may very well fling those arrows of outrageous fortune at ''me''! And then they will have the reward of attacking an ascended master! And how do you like that? And so we two shall walk hand in hand; and at any hour of the day or night when you reach out your hand for mine, I will clasp your own....


I say to you, whatever you have done in the past, forsake the past! Leave it behind! And let the light of mercy triumph within you, for our God is a God of mercy and his mercy endureth for ever.<ref>Ps. 136.</ref> Therefore, take a step forward this night; and consider that in taking that step you are stepping out of the skins of the former man and into the raiment of the Christ. And when you take that step as I shall direct at the close of my address, you shall have placed upon you my cape, my ''capuchon''.

Lakshmi

2026-06-04T22:41:01Z

PeterDuffy:

<languages />
[[File:Lakshmi by Raja Ravi Varma.jpg|thumb|<translate> Lakshmi</translate>]]

<translate>

The Divine Mother in her manifestation as '''Lakshmi''' is the shakti of [[Vishnu]]. Lakshmi is known in earlier Eastern texts as Sri, which means “splendor,” “beauty,” “prosperity,” “wealth.”


Vishnu holds the office of Preserver in the Hindu Trinity. The Preserver is parallel to the principle of the Son in the Western Trinity. As the Son, Vishnu embodies Cosmic Christ wisdom. He is also the mediator, or bridge, between the human consciousness and Brahman, Absolute Reality.


According to the teachings of Hinduism, Vishnu was incarnated nine times, most notably as Rama and [[Krishna]]. Lakshmi took human form to serve as his consort in each of his incarnations. Lakshmi’s incarnations included: Sita, the faithful wife of Rama; the cow girl Radha, beloved of Krishna; and Rukmini, the princess whom Krishna later married.


As the Preserver, Vishnu preserves divine design conceived in Wisdom’s flame. He restores the universe by Wisdom’s all-healing light. Lakshmi shares his role as preserver. Her wisdom is revealed in blessings of prosperity and the precipitation of the abundant life. She bears the cornucopia of good fortune by “eye magic,” the eye magic of the All-Seeing Eye of her beloved. She embodies divine compassion and intercedes on our behalf before her consort. She is the mediator of the Mediator!


Lakshmi is described as being “as radiant as gold” and “illustrious like the moon.” She is said to “shine like the sun” and “to be lustrous like fire.” She teaches multiplicity and beauty and is called “She of the Hundred Thousands.” Whatever matrix is in her hand, whatever you hold in your heart, Lakshmi can multiply by the millions, for one idea can be reproduced infinitely. Lakshmi also teaches us mastery of karmic cycles on the cosmic clock.


At the beginning of the commercial year in India, Hindus give special prayers to Lakshmi to bring success in their endeavors. She is worshiped in every home on every important occasion. But Lakshmi has a deeper, esoteric significance in that she is associated with immortality and the essence of life. In Hindu lore, she was created when the gods and demons churned a primordial ocean of milk. Their goal was to produce the elixir of immortality. Along with the elixir, they also produced the Goddess Lakshmi. Lakshmi is seen as the one who personifies royal power and conveys it upon kings. She is often depicted with a lotus and an elephant. The lotus represents purity and spiritual power; the elephant, royal authority. Lakshmi, therefore, combines royal and priestly powers.


The Goddess Lakshmi is an embodiment of the Divine Mother. In her role as consort of Vishnu, the Second Person of the Trinity, she is very much a part of the ceremony of the marriage of your soul to your [[Holy Christ Self]]. When you are wed and bonded to that Christ Self, you become royal, in the godly sense of the word. Each one of us can receive this “royal” initiation when we have earned the grace of the bountiful Lakshmi. She restores us to our original estate of oneness with God.


In one Tantric text, Lakshmi says of herself: “Like the fat that keeps a lamp burning, I lubricate the senses of living beings with my own sap of consciousness.”<ref>David Kinsley, ''The Goddesses’ Mirror: Visions of the Divine from East and West'' (Albany N.Y.: University of New York Press, 1989), p. 66.</ref> Lakshmi bestows upon us the nectar of God consciousness when we gain her favor. Vishnu is the Christ light, and Lakshmi is the bestower of that light. The riches she brings are spiritual riches and admission to the kingdom of heaven.


Lakshmi’s seed syllable, or [[bija]], is ''Srim''. Her mantra is ''Om Srim Lakshmye Namaha''.

As Pharaoh Thutmose III (c. 1567 B.C.), greatest of pharaohs, prophet and high priest, patron of the arts, he is considered the architect of the Egyptian empire. He expanded the Egyptian kingdom to include most of the Middle East. His most decisive victory was on the battlefield near Mt. Carmel. There he led the entire army single file through narrow Megiddo Pass to surprise and defeat an alliance of 330 rebellious Asian princes—a daring maneuver protested by the pharaoh’s terrified officers. Thutmose alone was assured of his plan and rode ahead holding aloft the image of Amon-Ra, the Sun God who had promised him the victory.

[[File:Pythagoras with tablet of ratios.jpg|thumb|upright|alt=Seated figure wearing a robe, writing in a book|<translate> Pythagoras, from ''The School of Athens'', Raphael (1509)</translate>]]

<translate>
=== Pythagoras === 


In the sixth century B.C., he was the Greek philosopher Pythagoras, the “fair-haired Samian” who was regarded as the son of [[Apollo]]. As a youth, Pythagoras conferred freely with priests and scholars, eagerly seeking scientific proof of the inner law revealed to him in meditation upon Demeter, the Mother of the Earth. His quest for the great synthesis of truth led him to Palestine, Arabia, India, and finally to the temples of Egypt, where he won the confidence of the priests of Memphis and was gradually accepted into the mysteries of [[Isis]] at Thebes.


When Asian conqueror Cambyses launched a savage invasion of Egypt about 529 B.C., Pythagoras was exiled to Babylon, where the prophet Daniel still served as king’s minister. Here rabbis revealed to him the inner teachings of the [[I AM THAT I AM]] given to [[Moses]]. Zoroastrian [[magi]] tutored him in music, astronomy and the sacred science of invocation. After twelve years, Pythagoras left Babylon and founded a brotherhood of initiates at [[Crotona]], a busy Dorian seaport in southern Italy. His “city of the elect” was a [[mystery school]] of the [[Great White Brotherhood]].


At Crotona, carefully selected men and women pursued a philosophy based upon the mathematical expression of universal law, illustrated in music and in the rhythm and harmony of a highly disciplined way of life. After a five-year probation of strict silence, Pythagorean “mathematicians” progressed through a series of initiations, developing the intuitive faculties of the heart whereby the son or daughter of God may become, as Pythagoras’ ''Golden Verses'' state, “a deathless God divine, mortal no more.”


Pythagoras delivered his lectures from behind a screen in a veiled language that could be fully comprehended only by the most advanced initiates. The most significant phase of his instruction concerned the fundamental concept that number is both the form and the essence of creation. He formulated the essential parts of Euclid’s geometry and advanced astronomical ideas that led to Copernicus’ hypotheses. It is recorded that two thousand citizens of Crotona gave up their customary lifestyle and assembled together in the Pythagorean community under the wise administration of the Council of Three Hundred—a governmental, scientific and religious order that later exercised great political influence throughout Magna Grecia.


Pythagoras, the “indefatigable adept,” was ninety when Cylon, a rejected candidate of the mystery school, incited a violent persecution. Standing in the courtyard of Crotona, Cylon read aloud from a secret book of Pythagoras, ''Hieros Logos'' (Holy Word), distorting and ridiculing the teaching. When Pythagoras and forty of the leading members of the Order were assembled, Cylon set fire to the building and all but two of the council members were killed. As a result, the community was destroyed and much of the original teaching was lost. Nevertheless, “the Master” has influenced many great philosophers, including Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, and [[Francis Bacon]].

{{main|Three Wise Men}}


As Balthazar, one of the [[Three Wise Men|three Magi]] (astronomer/adepts) who followed the star of the Presence of the infant Messiah, he was said to have been the King of Ethiopia who brought the treasure of his realm as the gift of frankincense to Christ, the eternal High Priest.

=== Francis of Assisi === 


{{Main|Francis of Assisi}}


As Francis of Assisi (c. 1181–1226), the divine poverello, he renounced family and wealth and embraced “Lady Poverty,” living among the poor and the lepers, finding unspeakable joy in imitating the compassion of Christ. While kneeling at Mass on the feast of St. Matthias in 1209, he heard the gospel of Jesus read by the priest and the Lord’s command to his apostles, “Go, preach.” Francis left the little church and began evangelizing and converting many. Among them was the noble Lady Clare, who later left her home dressed as the bride of Christ and presented herself to Francis for admittance to the mendicant order.


One of the many legends surrounding the lives of Francis and Clare describes their meal at Santa Maria degli Angeli, where Francis spoke so lovingly of God that all were enraptured in Him. Suddenly the people of the village saw the convent and the woods ablaze. Running hastily to quench the flames, they beheld the little company enfolded in brilliant light with arms uplifted to heaven.


God revealed to Francis the divine Presence in “brother sun” and “sister moon” and rewarded his devotion with the [[stigmata]] of Christ crucified—the first saint known to receive them. The prayer of St. Francis is spoken by people of all faiths around the world: “Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace!...”

<translate>
=== Shah Jahan === 


As Shah Jahan (1592–1666), Mogul emperor of India, he overthrew the corrupt government of his father, Jahangir, and restored in part the noble ethics of his grandfather [[Akbar the Great]]. During his enlightened reign, the splendor of the Mogul court reached its zenith and India entered her golden age of art and architecture. Shah Jahan lavished the imperial treasury on music, paintings, and the construction of awesome monuments, mosques, public buildings and thrones throughout India, some of which may still be seen today.


The famous Taj Mahal, “the miracle of miracles, the final wonder of the world,” was built as a tomb for his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. She had ruled by his side almost as an equal and died in 1631 giving birth to their fourteenth child. Shah Jahan spared no effort in making the monument “as beautiful as she was beautiful.” It is the symbol of the Mother principle and celebrates his eternal love for Mumtaz.

=== Koot Hoomi Lal Singh === 


In his final embodiment, the adept Kuthumi was revered as a Kashmiri brahman, Koot Hoomi Lal Singh (also known also as Koot Hoomi and K.H.) Koot Hoomi led an extremely secluded life, affording but a fragmented record of his words and works. Born in the early nineteenth century, Mahatma Kuthumi was a Punjabi whose family had settled in Kashmir. He attended Oxford University in 1850 and is believed to have contributed “The Dream of Ravan” to ''The Dublin University Magazine'' around 1854, prior to returning to his homeland.


The Kashmiri Brahman spent considerable time in Dresden, Würzburg, Nürnberg and at the university of Leipzig, where in 1875 he visited with Dr. Gustav Fechner, the founder of modern psychology. His remaining years were spent in seclusion at his lamasery in Shigatse, Tibet, where his contact with the outside world included didactic writings sent by mail to some of his devoted students. These letters are now on file with the British Museum.


With [[El Morya]], known as the Master M., Kuthumi founded the [[Theosophical Society]] in 1875 through [[Helena P. Blavatsky]], commissioning her to write ''Isis Unveiled'' and ''The Secret Doctrine''. The purpose of this activity was to reacquaint mankind with the wisdom of the ages that underlies all of the world’s religions, the inner teachings guarded in the mystery schools since the last days of Lemuria and Atlantis. This includes the doctrine of reincarnation—which, we note, Saint Francis preached in the village squares—as well as an understanding of the ascension as the goal of life sought knowingly or unknowingly by every son and daughter of God.


The Theosophical Society has published Kuthumi’s and El Morya’s letters to their students in ''The Mahatma Letters'' and other works. Kuthumi ascended at the end of the nineteenth century.

== His mission today == 

=== World Teacher === 


{{main|World Teacher}}


In the line of cosmic peerage, Jesus conferred upon the Ascended Master Kuthumi the office of World Teacher, which position our Lord gave to his disciple to share jointly with himself. The World Teachers Jesus and Kuthumi sponsor every soul seeking reunion with God, tutoring them in the fundamental laws governing the cause/effect sequences of their own karma and teaching them how to come to grips with the day-to-day challenges of their individual [[dharma]], one’s duty to fulfill the Christ potential through the [[sacred labor]].

=== Master psychologist === 


Kuthumi is known as the master psychologist, and his assignment is to assist chelas in the resolution of their psychology. On January 27, 1985, he announced a [[dispensation]] from [[Lord Maitreya]]:


<blockquote>This dispensation is my assignment to work with each one of you individually for your physical health and for the healing of your psychology, that we might swiftly get to the very cause and core of physical as well as spiritual and emotional conditions that there be no more setbacks or indulgences and surely not two steps forward and one step back.<ref>Kuthumi, “Remember the Ancient Encounter,” {{POWref|28|9|, March 3, 1985}}</ref></blockquote>


Kuthumi has given a key to understanding our psychology in his teachings on the [[dweller-on-the-threshold]] and the electronic belt. The momentums of untransmuted karma in orbit around the “nucleus” of the [[Synthetic image|synthetic self]] (or [[carnal mind]]) form what looks like an “[[electronic belt]]” of misqualified energy around the lower portion of man’s [[physical body]].


Diagrammed at the point of the [[Solar-plexus chakra|solar plexus]], extending downward in a negative spiral to below the feet, this conglomerate of human creation forms a dense forcefield resembling the shape of a kettledrum. Referred to as the realm of the subconscious or the unconscious, the electronic belt contains the records of unredeemed karma from all embodiments. At the eye of this vortex of untransmuted energy is the consciousness of the anti-self personified in the dweller-on-the-threshold, which must be slain before one can attain full Christhood.


The master can better help us if we give his [[mantra]], “I AM Light.” This mantra is for the development of a tremendous momentum of white light and the wisdom of God. It is to bring us to the realization that God can and does dwell within us. When we draw nigh to him, he draws nigh to us, and the angelic hosts also gather for the strengthening of the [[aura]]. In his book ''Studies of the Human Aura'', Kuthumi speaks of a threefold exercise using the “I AM Light” mantra that students can give for the purpose of strengthening the sheath of the aura so that they can maintain the consciousness of Christ, of God, of Buddha, of Mother.


<div align=center>'''I AM Light''' 
By Kuthumi</div>


<div style="margin-left: 20%;">
I AM light, glowing light, 
Radiating light, intensified light. 
God consumes my darkness, 
Transmuting it into light.


This day I AM a focus of the Central Sun. 
Flowing through me is a crystal river, 
A living fountain of light 
That can never be qualified 
By human thought and feeling. 
I AM an outpost of the Divine. 
Such darkness as has used me is swallowed up 
By the mighty river of light which I AM.


I AM, I AM, I AM light; 
I live, I live, I live in light. 
I AM light’s fullest dimension; 
I AM light’s purest intention. 
I AM light, light, light 
Flooding the world everywhere I move, 
Blessing, strengthening and conveying 
The purpose of the kingdom of heaven.
</div>


Kuthumi gives an important key to the spiritual path in his teaching that


<blockquote>
... the most important part of any experience you have is not what is flung your way but ''your reaction to it''. Your reaction is the determination of your place on the ladder of attainment. Your reaction enables us to act or not to act. Your reaction to anything or everything shows us the fruit that has ripened in you from all of our prior teaching and loving and support as well as discipline....


Thus, from this hour, if you will call to me and make a determination in your heart to transcend the former self, I will tutor you both through your own heart and any messenger I may send your way. Therefore, heed the voices—not astral but physical—and watch the course of events.... Thus, I come in many guises.<ref>Ibid.</ref>
</blockquote>

{{main|Kuthumi's Retreat at Shigatse, Tibet}}


From the focus of his etheric retreat at Shigatse, Tibet, Kuthumi plays celestial music on his organ to those who are making the [[transition]] called “death” from the physical plane to higher octaves. So tremendous is the cosmic radiation that pours through that organ—because it is keyed to the music of the spheres and an organ-focus in the [[City Foursquare]]—that souls are drawn out of the [[astral plane]] as if following a pied piper.


In this way, thousands are drawn to the retreats of the masters by the great love of this Brother of the Golden Robe. Those who are able to see Kuthumi at the moment of their passing often find peace in the certain knowing that they have seen the master Jesus, so closely do Jesus and Kuthumi resemble one another in their adoration and manifestation of the Christ.

<translate>

'''Kuan Yin''' is revered in Buddhism as the compassionate Saviouress, the Bodhisattva of Mercy. Beloved as a mother figure and divine mediatrix who is close to the daily affairs of her devotees, Kuan Yin’s role as Buddhist Madonna has been compared to that of [[Mother Mary|Mary the mother of Jesus]] in the West. Throughout the Far East, devotees seek her guidance and succor in every area of life. Altars dedicated to Kuan Yin can be found in temples, homes and wayside grottoes.


The name ''Kuan Shih Yin'', as she is often called, means “the one who regards, looks on, or hears the sounds of the world.” According to legend, Kuan Yin was about to enter heaven but paused on the threshold as the cries of the world reached her ears.


Kuan Yin is revered as protectress of women, sailors, merchants, craftsmen, those under criminal prosecution and those desiring progeny. There is an implicit trust in Kuan Yin’s saving grace and healing powers. Many believe that even the simple recitation of her name will bring her instantly to the scene. ''[[Kuan Yin’s Crystal Rosary]]'' contains her mantras and is a powerful means of invoking her intercession.


Today Kuan Yin is worshiped by Taoists as well as Mahayana Buddhists—especially in Taiwan, Japan, Korea and once again in her homeland of China, where the practice of Buddhism had been suppressed by the Communists during the Cultural Revolution (1966–69).

[[File:0001092 Kuan-Yin-willow-branch-poster-4345 600.jpeg|thumb|left|upright|alt=Old Korean painting of Kuan Yin|<translate> ''Avalokitesvara with Willow Branch'', hanging Silk Scroll, c. 1310, Goryeo Dynasty (Korea)</translate>]]

<translate>
== Traditions in the East == 


For centuries, Kuan Yin has epitomized the great ideal of Mahayana Buddhism in her role as [[bodhisattva]]—literally “a being of bodhi, or enlightenment,” who is destined to become a [[Buddha]] but has foregone the bliss of [[nirvana]] with a vow to save all children of God. Kuan Yin has taken the bodhisattva vow to work with the evolutions of this planet and this solar system to show them the way of the teachings of the ascended masters.


Kuan Yin was worshiped in China before the advent of Buddhism and thereafter adopted by Buddhists as an incarnation of [[Avalokitesvara]] (Padmapani). Devotees invoke the bodhisattva’s power and merciful intercession with the mantra ''[[Om mani padme hum|Om Mani Padme Hum]]''—“Hail to the jewel in the lotus!” or, as it has also been interpreted, “Hail to Avalokitesvara, who is the jewel in the heart of the lotus of the devotee’s heart!”


According to legend, Avalokitesvara was born from a ray of white light that [[Amitabha]], the Buddha of Boundless Light, emitted from his right eye as he was lost in ecstasy. Thus Avalokitesvara, or Kuan Yin, is regarded as the “reflex” of Amitabha—a further emanation or embodiment of ''maha karuna'' (great compassion), the quality that Amitabha embodies. Devotees believe that Kuan Yin, as the merciful redemptress, expresses Amitabha’s compassion in a more direct and personal way and that prayers to her are answered more quickly.

This image also represents Kuan Yin’s mastery of the water element, in the same way that Mother Mary’s mastery of the water element is depicted in images of her with the moon beneath her feet.</translate>]]

<translate>

In the [[Pure Land]] sect of Buddhism, Kuan Yin forms part of a ruling triad that is often depicted in temples and is a popular theme in Buddhist art. In the center is the Buddha of Boundless Light, Amitabha (Chinese, A-mi-t’o Fo; Japanese, Amida). To his right is the bodhisattva of strength or power, Mahasthamaprapta, and to his left is Kuan Yin, personifying his endless mercy.


In Buddhist theology Kuan Yin is sometimes depicted as the captain of the “Bark of Salvation,” guiding souls to Amitabha's Western Paradise, or Pure Land—the land of bliss where souls may be reborn to receive continued instruction toward the goal of enlightenment and perfection. The journey to Pure Land is frequently represented in woodcuts showing boats full of Amitabha’s followers under Kuan Yin’s captainship.


One of Kuan Yin’s principal emblems is the willow branch. According to Buddhist belief, she uses the willow branch to drive away illness and to sprinkle the nectar of wisdom and compassion upon all who invoke her assistance. In some Asian traditions prayers to cure disease were given while stroking the afflicted person with a willow branch.


Kuan Yin is considered to be the bestower of children, and so she is often depicted with an infant. In [[Taiwan]] there is also a legend that in one of her embodiments she was a mother and therefore is shown with her own child.


Kuan Yin is also often depicted standing on a dragon. The dragon for the Chinese people represents China and their divine lineage. It is also a symbol of the entire Spirit of the [[Great White Brotherhood]]. In its antithesis, the dragon is seen in the [[Book of Revelation]] giving power to the beasts. So a dragon is a thoughtform of a great hierarchy—whether embodying the forces of Light or the forces of Darkness.


In Chinese lore the dragon and the [[phoenix]] bird together represent the yang and yin of the whirling T’ai Chi. So the image of Kuan Yin riding a dragon shows her having dominion over that dragon in the sense of being the master of it.

[[File:The Tiger Carries Off Miao Shan.jpg|thumb|upright|alt=Painting in Chinese style of Miao Shan on the back of a tiger|<translate> Miao Shan being carried off by a tiger</translate>]]

<translate>

It is widely believed that Kuan Yin took embodiment as the third daughter of Miao Chuang Wang, identified with the Chou dynasty, a ruler of a northern Chinese kingdom in the sixth century B.C. The king had seized his throne by force of arms, and he desperately desired a male heir to succeed him. Instead he had three daughters. The youngest, Miao Shan, was a devout child who “scrupulously observed all of the tenets of the Buddhist doctrines. Virtuous living seemed, indeed, to be to her a second nature.”<ref>Edward T. C. Werner, ''Myths and Legends of China'' (London: Harrap, 1922), chapter X. The following account is adapted from that source.</ref>


She recognized the impermanence of riches and glory and desired nothing more than “a peaceful retreat on a lone mountain.” She told her sisters that “If some day I can reach a high degree of goodness.... I will rescue my father and mother, and bring them to Heaven; I will save the miserable and afflicted on earth; I will convert the spirits which do evil, and cause them to do good.”


Miao Shan’s father determined to find a husband for her who would be capable of ruling the kingdom. The king explained his plans and told her that all his hopes rested on her. Miao Shan said that she did not wish to marry because she desired to attain perfection and Buddhahood.


The king was angry. “Has anyone known the daughter of a king to become a nun?” he asked. Then he demanded that she marry an academician or a military man at once. Recognizing that she could not openly disobey her father’s orders, Miao Shan said that she would immediately marry a physician since she could then still become a Buddha. Outraged, the king ordered his officer to take her to the Queen’s garden “and let her perish there of cold.”


Miao Shan retired to the garden glad to exchange the pleasures of the palace for the sweetness of solitude. Her parents, sisters and the ladies of the court tried in vain to dissuade Miao Shan from her purpose. Instead she asked her father’s permission to live at the Nunnery of the White Bird. The king consented but sent strict orders to the nunnery that the nuns should do all in their power to persuade Miao Shan to leave.


The nuns tried but failed. They then decided to put Miao Shan in charge of the kitchen where, if she failed, they could dismiss her. Miao Shan so joyously agreed that she touched the heart of the Master of Heaven who ordered the spirits of heaven to assist her in her duties.


The Superior of the nunnery then asked the King to recall his daughter. The king sent five thousand soldiers to surround the Nunnery of the White Bird and burn it to the ground along with the nuns. The nuns invoked the aid of Heaven but said to Miao Shan: “It is you who have brought upon us this terrible disaster.”


Miao Shan agreed that it was so. She knelt and prayed to Heaven and then pricked the roof of her mouth with her bamboo hairpin and spat the flowing blood toward heaven. Great clouds immediately gathered and showers put out the fire threatening the nunnery. The nuns threw themselves on their knees and thanked Miao Shan for saving their lives.


The king, informed of this miracle, was enraged and ordered the chief of the guard to immediately behead Miao Shan. As the execution was to begin, the sky became overcast, but a bright light surrounded Miao Shan. When the executioner’s sword fell upon her neck, it broke. A spear thrust at her fell to pieces.


The king ordered that she be strangled with a silken cord. But a tiger leaped into the execution grounds, dispersed the executioners, put the inanimate body of Miao Shan on his back and disappeared into the pine forest.

[[File:Statue of Guanyin, Mt Putuo, China.jpg|thumb|left|alt=caption|<translate> Thirty-three meter statue of Kuan Yin on Mount P’u-t’o, the sacred island-mountain that became a center of devotion to Kuan Yin</translate>]]

<translate>

Miao Shan’s soul, which was not hurt, was taken to the lower world, hell. She prayed and hell was transformed into a paradise. She was sent back to earth to resume her life there. Carried on a lotus flower to the island of P’u-t’o Shan—the sacred island-mountain in the Chusan Archipelago off the coast of Chekiang—she lived for nine years healing the diseased and saving mariners from shipwreck.


It is said that once, when word was brought to her that her father had fallen ill, she cut the flesh from her arms and used it as a medicine that saved his life. In gratitude, he ordered that a statue be erected in her honor, commissioning the artist to depict her with “completely formed arms and eyes.” The artist misunderstood, however, and to this day Kuan Yin is sometimes shown with a “thousand arms and a thousand eyes,” thereby able to see and assist the masses of her people.


During the twelfth century Buddhist monks settled on P’u-t’o Shan, and devotion to Kuan Yin spread throughout northern China. This picturesque island became the chief center of worship of the compassionate Saviouress; crowds of pilgrims would journey from the remotest places in China and even from Manchuria, Mongolia and Tibet to attend stately services there. At one time there were more than a hundred temples on the island and over one thousand monks. The lore surrounding P’u-t’o island recounts numerous appearances and miracles performed by Kuan Yin, who, it is believed, reveals herself to the faithful in a certain cave on the island.

== Traditions in Taiwan == 


It is believed that Kuan Yin frequently appears in the sky or on the waves to save those who call upon her when in danger. Personal stories can be heard in Taiwan, for instance, from those who report that during World War II when the United States bombed the Japanese occupied Taiwan, she appeared in the sky as a young maiden, catching the bombs and covering them with her white garments so they would not explode.


Thus altars dedicated to the Goddess of Mercy are found everywhere—shops, restaurants, even taxicab dashboards. In the home she is worshiped with the traditional “pai pai,” a prayer ritual using incense, as well as the use of prayer charts—sheets of paper designed with pictures of Kuan Yin, lotus flowers, or pagodas and outlined with hundreds of little circles. With each set of prayers recited or sutras read in a novena for a relative, friend, or oneself, another circle is filled in. This chart has been described as a “Ship of Salvation” whereby departed souls are saved from the dangers of hell and the faithful safely conveyed to Amitabha’s heaven. In addition to elaborate services with litanies and prayers, devotion to Kuan Yin is expressed in the popular literature of the people in poems and hymns of praise.


Devout followers of Kuan Yin may frequent local temples and make pilgrimages to larger temples on important occasions or when they are burdened with a special problem. The three yearly festivals held in her honor are on the nineteenth day of the second month (celebrated as her birthday), of the sixth month, and of the ninth month based on the Chinese lunar calendar.

== The bodhisattva ideal == 


Kuan Yin’s ministration is very real and as ancient as the hills. The vow taken by the bodhisattva to stand with humanity is a sacred calling. However, she cautions us against taking it ourselves unless we thoroughly understand the service of these dedicated ones:


<blockquote>
Being one with all life, we are aware of all life in its manifestation from the highest to the lowest. This is part of the bodhisattva ideal, which is a part of those who are standing with humanity. And there are quite a number upon this planet, although few compared to those who go their own way of riotous living. It is a very high and holy order, and I suggest that you think long and hard about this calling before you respond and say, I will do the same!”


For when aeons pass and men are not moved by the flame that you hold, remember that you might wish that you had chosen another easier or more gratifying way. As the centuries pass, the thousands of years and the cycles, and the same individuals whom you have nourished by the power of your heart flame are involved in the same involvements in the world, you find that you cry out to God and say, “O LORD, how long, how long will this wayward generation be in coming to the knowledge of their divinity and of the love of the sacred fire that we have held for so long?”<ref>Kuan Yin, “The Quality of Mercy for the Regeneration of the Youth of the World,” ''Pearls of Wisdom'', 1982, Book II, pp. ''120–21''.</ref>
</blockquote>

<translate>
== The mercy flame == 


Kuan Yin represents the qualities of mercy and compassion to the evolutions of earth. The mercy flame is the means whereby the Christ intercedes on behalf of those who have erred, who cannot bear the full brunt of the Law that demands swift recompense for each violation. The quality of mercy tempers the return of mankind’s own karma, staying the hand of justice until that time when individuals are able to stand, face and conquer their own human creation. Kuan Yin tells us that


<blockquote>... mercy is the quality of love that smoothens the rough places of life, that heals the sores of the [[etheric body]], that mends the cleavages of mind and feelings, that clears away the debris of sin and the sense of struggle before these manifest in the physical body as disease, decay, disintegration and death.<ref>Kuan Yin, “A People and a Teaching Whose Time Has Come,” September 18, 1976.</ref></blockquote>


“Mercy is the strongest power in the universe,” Kuan Yin says, for “it is the power of the will of God.... The power of mercy is the intensity of love that will dissolve all fear, all doubt, all recalcitrance and rebellion within the race.... The mercy of the Law is sometimes very stern, but it is always patient, always tolerant, and it sees the flame within the heart rising, rising, rising to meet the Christ.”<ref>Kuan Yin, “The Sword of Mercy,” October 10, 1969.</ref>


Kuan Yin reminds us, “When you feel the need of greater strength, of illumination, of greater purity and healing, remember that all of these qualities come to you from the heart of God by the power of the flame of mercy itself. For in forgiveness there comes renewed opportunity to fulfill the Law, and without forgiveness little progress can be made.”<ref>Kuan Yin, “Karma, Mercy, and the Law,” ''Pearls of Wisdom'', 1982, Book II, p. ''106''.</ref> Therefore, in order to reenter the walk with God, we need forgiveness.

== The need for forgiveness == 


When we invoke it, let us realize that our own [[Christ Self]] is our psychiatrist, our psychologist, our minister, our priest, our rabbi, our friend, the one to whom we should go daily to unburden ourselves, as the American Indians did. They made a circle around the camp fire at night and discussed the events of the day. And all that they didn’t like, they threw into the flames. It is the same principle that has been taught in every [[religion]] of the world. When we put it into the flame, we can go to bed at night in peace. Much insomnia is caused because we are not releasing our daily karma, our daily burdens; and therefore, we are not at peace with ourselves and with God.


We have a need for confession, a need to tell God what we have done that is not in keeping with his Law. Until we tell him about it and ask for his flame of forgiveness to pass through us, we have that sense of guilt, fear, shame, and above all a separation from him. Today this is manifest in all kinds of mental and emotional diseases, split personalities, hatred of father and mother, hatred of children, and many other problems to which modern society has fallen prey. The path back to the guru, the Inner Christ, is calling upon the [[law of forgiveness]].


Forgiveness is something we need to invoke not only for ourselves; we need to invoke it for every part of life—all who have ever wronged us, all whom we have wronged. [[Saint Germain]] teaches us that when we invoke forgiveness, it must be by a very intense love in our heart. We need to let each other know that we forgive and that we are asking for forgiveness. And it’s a point of humility to say, “I’ve done wrong, and I ask you and God to forgive me.”


When we invoke the law of forgiveness, it bursts like fireworks in the aura as violet, purple and pink, dissolving unpleasant conditions in our world. And it begins to intensify until great spheres of energy are going forth from our heart and inundating the world. You may visualize a loved one, a child, a self-styled enemy, a political figure; you may visualize an entire city, the government, the whole nation or the planet within this brilliant sphere of mercy’s flame, becoming the recipient of waves and waves of this wine of forgiveness.


Forgiveness is a law, and by this law, our sins are set aside to give us the opportunity to develop the Christ consciousness. “Training in the law of forgiveness is necessary,” Kuan Yin instructs us, “for it is indeed the foundation of the Aquarian age.... Forgiveness is not the balancing of karma; it is the setting aside of karma whereby you are given the freedom in renewed creativity to conquer, to go forth, to make things right without that heavy burden, that weight of sin. And when you come to the place where you have further attainment, then, according to the law of forgiveness, that karma that was set aside is returned to you. And in your heightened state of consciousness in the plane of self-mastery, you are quickly able to place in the flame that substance for [[transmutation]] and to pursue your high calling.”<ref>Kuan Yin, “A Mother’s-Eye View of the World,” ''Pearls of Wisdom'', 1982, Book II, p. ''87''.</ref>


There is a difference between the forgiveness of sins and their transmutation. Someone may steal your purse and later tell you that he is sorry he took it. You may forgive him, but the matter is not closed, karmically speaking, until he returns that purse to you with every penny intact or makes whatever restitution is necessary. Forgiveness is not the balancing of karma; it is the setting aside of karma whereby you are given the freedom to make things right without that heavy burden of sin.


The foundation of the path of the abundant life or of science is forgiveness. It is the resolution of harmony between every part of God. It is an intense love action of the freedom flame. The energies of the [[violet flame]], the energies of God, are always pulsating, always moving, and they are transmuting the records of the subconscious. Forgiveness is the fulfillment of the law in Isaiah, “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”<ref>Isa. 1:18.</ref>

<translate>
== The need to forgive == 


If you expect forgiveness, then you must be ready to forgive seventy times seven, as the Master [[Jesus]] taught. “In small ways and in great ways, mankind are tested,” Kuan Yin says, “And the bigotry that remains in the consciousness of some is also a lack of forgiveness. Those who cannot forgive their fellowmen because they do not think or worship as they do—these have the hardness of heart that encases the flame of love and also prevents the flow of wisdom.”<ref>Kuan Yin, “Mercy: The Fire that Tries Every Man’s Works,” ''Pearls of Wisdom'', 1982, Book II, p. ''95''.</ref>


The mercy of the law is like a two-way street. It is the signal that you send to God and the signal that he returns. A two-way street means the give-and-take with God. If you expect mercy from God, then you must give mercy to every part of life. The fulfillment of the law of mercy must be for the ultimate liberation of each and every soul. Thus, as we forgive life, life forgives us.


Time and time again we have all heard the cliché, “Let bygones be bygones. Forgive and forget!” This is so true, because if you can still resurrect the memory of a wrong that has been done to you, then you have not truly forgiven. In order to forgive, the record and the memory must be dissolved from your consciousness. Kuan Yin tells us that if this is not the case, not only have you not truly forgiven, but “you have hardened your heart. You have stored the record as a squirrel with his nuts deep within the subconscious. Deep in the etheric plane, you have stored the record of that wrong. You have not released it into the flame. You have not been willing to let go and let God be free to express in those who have wronged you, in those whom you have wronged.”<ref>Kuan Yin, “A Mother’s-Eye View of the World,” ''Pearls of Wisdom'', 1982, Book II, p. ''87''.</ref>


One of the best ways to accomplish this complete “forgiving and forgetting” is by the use of the science of the spoken Word, accompanied by visualization, in a mantra for forgiveness written by [[El Morya]] in his “Heart, Head and Hand Decrees.”


::::I AM forgiveness acting here,
::::Casting out all doubt and fear,
::::Setting men forever free
::::With wings of cosmic victory.


::::I AM calling in full power
::::For forgiveness every hour;
::::To all life in every place
::::I flood forth forgiving grace.


As you give this prayer daily, you may wish to visualize the flames of mercy, which are a lovely pink-violet color, enfolding your being and removing the cause and core of many wrongs of the past. It is possible to experience a great sense of relief from burdens you may have been carrying for centuries as you call for forgiveness for your sins—even those of which you may not be aware in this embodiment—and then truly accept God’s grace and forgiveness that he is extending to you through the gift of his violet transmuting flame.


The color violet has many hues ranging from the orchid-pink of mercy’s flame, containing a greater saturation of the pink ray of God’s love, to the deep-purple flame that embodies more of the blue of the will of God. The purple flame has a greater electronic cleansing action, which, when used alternately with the healing green decrees, will effectively purify and heal the [[four lower bodies]], especially the [[etheric body]] (the memory body) of the records of the past that may be buried deep within the subconscious. To invoke this flame, take any violet-flame decree and substitute the word “purple” for “violet.” Oftentimes it is more difficult to penetrate to the etheric body than to any of the other lower bodies, and therefore the repetition of a mantra thirty-six times can be very effective in clearing old records of past momentums.

== Service on the Karmic Board == 


Kuan Yin reminds us of another facet of the flame of mercy as she says:


<blockquote>
For many of you I have pleaded before the [[Lords of Karma]] for the opportunity to embody, to be whole, to not have dealt to you in the physical the great karma of being maimed and blinded at birth that some of you have deserved. I have interceded with the flame of mercy on your behalf so that you could pursue, in the freedom of a sound mind and body, the light of the Law. Some who have been denied that mercy by the Lords of Karma are today in the institutions for the insane; for them it was meted that they should experience the agony of the absence of the presence of the Christ mind, that they might know what it is to defile that mind, that they might return in another life and appreciate the gift of reason, the gift to pursue the Holy Word Incarnate by the power of the Logos.


You do not realize how much has hung in the balance of your own life because mercy’s flame has been available to you. You have called and God has answered, and through my heart and my hands, mercy has flowed. I say this that you might also have the wisdom to understand that when mercy has been accorded for a time, you are expected to deliver the fruits of mercy, following the works of the LORD and the way of wisdom.<ref>Kuan Yin, “Mercy: The Fire that Tries Every Man’s Works,” ''Pearls of Wisdom'', 1982, Book II, p. ''96''.</ref>
</blockquote>


The Bodhisattva Kuan Yin is known as the '''Goddess of Mercy''' because she ensouls the God-qualities of mercy, compassion and forgiveness. She serves on the [[Karmic Board]] as the representative of the seventh ray (violet ray). She also held the office of [[chohan]] of the seventh ray for two thousand years until [[Saint Germain]] assumed that office in the late 1700s.

== Her retreat == 


{{main|Temple of Mercy}}


Kuan Yin ascended thousands of years ago and has taken the vow of the bodhisattva to serve planet Earth until all her evolutions are free. From her etheric retreat, the Temple of Mercy, over Peking (Beijing), China, she ministers to the souls of humanity, teaching them to balance their karma and fulfill their divine plan through loving service to life and application of the violet flame.


Kuan Yin’s flame is the color of orchids, the pink of divine love tempering the blue of the will of God. Her flower is a pink and violet lotus; the center, being pink, is as the mercy flame, becoming deeper and deeper violet on the periphery.

<translate>

In her final incarnation, the '''ascended lady master Kristine''' was embodied as '''Florence Jeannette Miller'''.

== Florence Miller == 


Florence was born on February 27, 1936, in Krugersdorp, South Africa. She grew up in South Africa and the Belgian Congo and received most of her high school education through American correspondence courses. At the age of 16, she and her parents moved to Brussels, Belgium. She later worked in London and South Africa as a secretary before starting college. She received an Associate in Arts degree from Blackburn College in Carlinville, Illinois and a Bachelor of Arts degree in French from the University of Wisconsin. After college, she worked in Toronto, Canada, for several years as a research assistant for the Canadian Education Association.


Florence found the teachings of the ascended masters in 1968, while living in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The minute she saw photographs of Mark and Elizabeth Prophet, she recognized them as true messengers of God. In October 1968, she joined the staff of [[The Summit Lighthouse]], where she later served as head of the publishing department and as a member of the Board of Directors of [[Church Universal and Triumphant]]. She was a pillar of strength and inspiration to all who knew her, always bringing self-discipline, creativity, dedication and a spirit of joy to her work.


While serving on the staff of The Summit Lighthouse, Florence met and married the Reverend Norman Thomas Miller. Tom has said of her:

[[File:100620M--medres.jpg|thumb|<translate> Florence Miller</translate>]]

<translate>

<blockquote>
She was just an incredible light—a magnificent devotee, not only of the teachings but of the messengers personally. Helping them to fulfill their role was her greatest joy. She thrived on challenges ... and always kept her poise through any difficult situation. It was a wonderful thing to behold.... She had that flame of accomplishment and victory and moving ahead. She was balanced, beautiful ... a great servant of light. The fervor of her dedication to the cause of world freedom and enlightenment set a high standard for all to emulate. Her devotion to God was a rare gift. It told me she had touched the hem of Christ’s garment....


She was the kind of person who, in the midst of many responsibilities, would always respond spontaneously with her heart to people’s personal problems or any situation that would crop up in the course of the day.... I was extremely privileged ... to be married to the blessed Florence.
</blockquote>

=== Her ascension === 


On September 19, 1979, at the age of 43, Florence passed from the screen of life as a result of a brain tumor. The next morning, her soul fulfilled at inner levels the initiation of the ascension. She is now known and loved as the ascended lady master Kristine. The title Lady Kristine had been given to her by [[Saint Germain]] on July 5, 1970.


[[Sanat Kumara]] proclaimed her “the example and forerunner on the path of the ruby ray.” He said of her that “her path for many centuries had been that of surrender, self-sacrifice, service and selflessness guided by the ascended masters under the four cosmic forces. Always living for the mission of the guru and my messengers, she transcended earthly modes and manifestations. Her light filled the cups of consciousness to overflowing, creating new streams of immersion in Christ’s love for all following the breezes of her billowing bridal garment.”<ref>{{OSS}}, pp. 234–35.</ref>

== Teresa of Avila == 


In a previous incarnation, Lady Kristine was embodied as the sixteenth-century Catholic mystic Saint Teresa of Avila. In 1998 [[Raphael and Mother Mary]] announced that she had become a [[bodhisattva]].

== The goal of the ascension == 


In 1983 Lady Kristine said:


<blockquote>
I am a flower in the field of life. One day the Saviour passed by and plucked me to his heart, and I became the special one that he would no longer leave in the field. I would miss my fellows and even shed a tear, longing to be in the tall grasses with them in their play and in their labor. But in his heart he took me and to another field where I saw another harvest—Elysian Fields where lilies grow and other saints that you and I have known.


Thus, beloved, the parting is the regathering. And we may all understand that being plucked to the Saviour’s heart—this special offering will come to each and every one in time and in space and beyond. And when the hour comes, as you may anticipate your own victory, you will know that all who have gone before you, the blessed friends of light and the saints, have all become a bouquet in the heart of the living Saviour. And the Lord [[Jesus Christ]], who has taken us to himself, presents his bouquet to the [[Mother of the World]]. Therefore is our preaching and our teaching not in vain. For, after all, our goal in ascending is to be the offering of the Christ unto the Blessed Virgin.<ref>Lady Kristine, “My Beloved, Let Us Deliver the Word!” {{POWref|25|34|, August 22, 1982}}</ref>

[[File:0000144 poster-saint-germain-sindelar-1403 600.jpeg|thumb|दिव्य गुरु संत जरमेन]]

'''संत जरमेन''' सातवीं किरण के [[Special:MyLanguage/chohan|चौहान]] हैं। अपनी [[Special:MyLanguage/twin flame|समरूप जोड़ी ]] (twin flame) महिला गुरु [[Special:MyLanguage/Portia|पोरशिया]] (Portia) - जिन्हें न्याय की देवी भी कहते हैं - के साथ, वे [[Special:MyLanguage/Aquarian age|कुंभ युग]] (Aquarian age) के आध्यात्मिक अधिपति हैं। संत जरमेन को स्वतंत्रता की ज्योति (freedom’s flame) का महान संरक्षक माना जाता है, जबकि पोरशिया न्याय की ज्योति (flame of justice) की संरक्षिका कहा जाता हैं।

संत जरमेन एक कूटनीतिज्ञ (diplomat) के रूप में जाने जाते हैं। वे सभी लोग जो सातवीं किरण का आह्वान करते हैं उन में वह एक सच्चे राजनीतिज्ञ में पाए जाने वाले सभी ईश्वरीय गुणों जैसे गरिमा, शालीनता, सज्जनता और संतुलन आदि को दर्शाते हैं। वह [[Special:MyLanguage/Great Divine Director|महान दिव्य निर्देशक]] (Great Divine Director) द्वारा स्थापित [[Special:MyLanguage/Rakoczy Mansion|राकोज़ी हाउस]] (Rakoczy Mansion) के सदस्य हैं। [[Special:MyLanguage/violet flame|वायलेट लौ]] आजकल उनके ट्रांसिल्वेनिया (Transylvanian) स्थित भवन में प्रतिष्ठित है।

''संत जरमेन'' नाम लैटिन शब्द ''सैंक्टस जरमेनस'' से आया है, जिसका अर्थ है “धर्मात्मा भाई”।


== इनका उद्देश्य ==

प्रत्येक दो हज़ार साल का चक्र सात किरणों में से एक के अंतर्गत आता है। [[Special:MyLanguage/jesus|ईसा मसीह]] छठी किरण के चौहान के रूप में पिछले 2000 वर्षों से युग के धर्मगुरु के पद पर कार्यरत थे। 1 मई, 1954 को संत जरमेन और पोरशिया को आने वाले युग (सातवीं किरण का चक्र) का निर्देशक नियुक्त किया गया। सातवीं किरण कुम्भ राशि की है, तथा स्वतंत्रता और न्याय कुंभ राशि के पुरुष व स्त्री तत्त्व हैं। दया के साथ मिलकर वे इस [[Special:MyLanguage/dispensation|प्रकाश रुपी उपहार]] (dispensation) में ईश्वर के अन्य सभी गुणों को दर्शाने का आधार प्रदान करते हैं।

संत जरमेन और पोरशिया लोगों को सातवें युग और सातवीं किरण की एक नई जीवन तरंग, एक नई सभ्यता और एक नई ऊर्जा प्रदान करते हैं। सातवीं किरण को [[Special:MyLanguage/violet ray|वायलेट लौ]] कहते हैं और स्वतंत्रता, न्याय, दया, [[Special:MyLanguage/alchemy|रसायन विद्या]] (alchemy)और पवित्र अनुष्ठान (sacred ritual) इसके गुण हैं।

सातवीं किरण के चौहान (स्वामी) के रूप में, संत जरमेन वायलेट लौ के माध्यम से हमारी जीवआत्माओं को [[Special:MyLanguage/transmutation|रूपांतरण]] क्रिया के विज्ञान और अनुष्ठान में दीक्षा देते हैं। रेवेलशन 10:7 (Revelation 10:7 in Bible) में जिनके बारे में भविष्यवाणी की गयी थी ये वही सातवें देवदूत हैं। वह परमेश्वर के रहस्य के बारे में बताने आते हैं,और यही उन्होंने अपने "सेवकों और भविष्यवक्ताओं को बताया है।"

संत जरमेन कहते हैं:

<blockquote>
मैं एक दिव्य जीव (ascended being) हूँ, लेकिन हमेशा से मैं ऐसा नहीं था। एक या दो नहीं, बल्कि मैंने पृथ्वी पर कई जन्म लिए हैं, और मैं इस धरती पर वैसे ही घूमता था जैसे आज आप घूम रहे हैं। मेरा नश्वर शरीर भी भौतिक आयाम की सीमाओं में बंधा था। एक जन्म में मैं [[Special:MyLanguage/Lemuria|लेमुरिया]] (Lemuria) पर था और एक अन्य जन्म में [[Special:MyLanguage/Atlantis|अटलांटिस]] (Atlantis) पर। मैंने कई सभ्यताओं का विकास और विनाश देखा है। मानवजाति के [[Special:MyLanguage/golden age|स्वर्ण युग]] (golden age) और आदिम काल तक के चक्र काल के समय मैंने चेतना के उतार चढ़ाव को देखा है। मैंने देखा है कि किस तरह अपने गलत चुनावों के कारण मनुष्य ने हज़ारों सालों के वैज्ञानिक विकास और प्राप्त की गयी उस उच्चतम ब्रह्मांडीय चेतना को खो दिया जो आज के युग में सबसे उन्नत धर्म के सदस्यों के पास भी नहीं है।

हाँ, मेरे पास कई विकल्प (choices) थे, और अपने लिए मैंने चुनाव स्वयं किया है। सही चुनाव करके ही पुरुष और स्त्री पदक्रम में अपना स्थान निर्धारित करते हैं। ईश्वर की इच्छानुसार चलने का चुनाव करके हम स्वतंत्र हो जाते हैं, मैं भी जन्म और मृत्यु के चक्र से स्वतंत्र हो गया और फिर इस चक्र के बाहर मुझे एक जीवन मिला। मैंने उस लौ (flame) के द्वारा अपनी स्वतंत्रता प्राप्त की —
उस मूल स्वर (Keynote) के द्वारा, जिसे प्राचीन रसायन वैज्ञानिकों (Alchemy) ने कुंभ युग (Aquarian Cycle) का चिन्ह माना,
उस बैंगनी अमृत (Purple Elixir) के द्वारा, जिसे संतजन अपने भीतर धारण करते हैं....

आप नश्वर (mortal) हैं। मैं अमर (immortal) हूँ। हमारे बीच बस इतना ही अंतर है कि मैंने स्वतंत्र होना चुना है, और आपको यह चुनाव करना अभी बाकी है। हम दोनों की क्षमताएँ (potential) एक समान हैं, संसाधन (resources) भी एक समान हैं, और हम दोनों का उस एक (ईश्वर) से जुड़ाव भी समान है। मैंने अपनी ईश्वरीय पहचान बनाने का चुनाव किया है। बहुत समय पहले मेरे अंतर्मन से एक शांत एवं धीमी आवाज़ आयी थी: "ईश्वर की संतानों, अपनी ईश्वरीय पहचान बनाओ"। ऐसा लगा मानों ईश्वर ही कह रहे हों। रात के सन्नाटे में जब मैंने पुकार सुनी तो उत्तर दिया, "अवश्य"। उत्तर में पूरा ब्रह्मांड बोल उठा, "अवश्य" । जब मनुष्य अपनी इच्छा प्राक्जत करता है तो उसके अस्तित्व की असीमित क्षमता दिखती है...

मैं संत जरमेन हूँ, और मैं तुम्हारी आत्मा तथा तुम्हारे हृदय की अग्नियों को कुंभ युग (Aquarian Age) की विजय प्राप्ति के लिए आया हूँ। मैंने तुम्हारी आत्मा की [[Special:MyLanguage/initiation|दीक्षा]] (initiation) का मार्ग और स्वरूप निर्धारित किया है। मैं स्वतंत्रता के पथ पर हूँ। आप भी उस पथ पर अपनी यात्रा आरम्भ कीजिये, आप मुझे वहीँ पाओगे। अगर आप चाहोगे तो मैं आपका गुरु होना स्वीकार करूँगा।<ref>संत जरमेन, “आई हैव चोज़न टू बी फ्री” (मैंने स्वतंत्र होना चुना है),

=== स्वर्ण युग की सभ्यता के शासक ===

{{main-hi|Golden age in the Sahara Desert|सहारा मरुस्थल में स्वर्ण युग}}

पचास हज़ार साल पहले संत जरमेन उस उपजाऊ क्षेत्र - जहाँ आज सहारा मरुस्थल स्थित है - में स्वर्ण युगीन सभ्यता के शासक थे। एक राजा-सम्राट के रूप में, संत जरमेन प्राचीन ज्ञान और भौतिक वृतों के ज्ञान में निपुण थे। और लोग उन्हें अपनी उभरती हुई दिव्यता (Godhood) के आदर्श के रूप में देखते थे। उनका साम्राज्य सौंदर्य, समरूपता और पूर्णता की अद्वितीय ऊँचाई तक पहुँच गया था।

जब इस सभ्यता के लोग महान ईश्वरीय आत्मा (Great God Self) की व्यापक सृजनात्मक योजना की बजाय इंद्रियों के सुखों में अधिक रुचि लेने लगे, तब एक दिव्य परिषद (cosmic council) ने शासक को अपने साम्राज्य से हट जाने का निर्देश दिया। इसके बाद उनका कर्म ही उनका गुरु बनने वाला था। राजा ने अपने मंत्रियों और जनसेवकों के लिए एक विशाल भोज का आयोजन किया। उनके 576 अतिथियों में से प्रत्येक को एक क्रिस्टल का प्याला दिया गया, जो एक ऐसे अमृत से भरा था जिसे “शुद्ध इलेक्ट्रॉनिक सार” (pure electronic essence) कहा गया।

यह अमृत संत जरमेन द्वारा उन्हें आत्मा की रक्षा के लिए दिया गया एक उपहार था, ताकि जब कुंभ युग (Age of Aquarius) में उस स्वर्ण युग की सभ्यता को फिर से स्थापित करने का अवसर आए, तब वे अपनी “I AM Presence” (ईश्वरीय आत्मिक उपस्थिति) को याद कर सकें और वे सभी लोगों के लिए एक उदाहरण बनें कि जब मनुष्य अपने मन, हृदय और आत्मा को ईश्वर की आत्मा के योग्य निवास स्थान बना लेते हैं, तब ईश्वर वास्तव में अपने लोगों के साथ निवास कर सकता है और करेगा।

भोज के समय एक दिव्य गुरु (cosmic master) प्रकट हुए, जिनके मस्तक पर केवल “Victory” (विजय) शब्द अंकित था। उन्होंने सभा को संबोधित करते हुए लोगों को उस संकट के बारे में चेतावनी दी, जो उन्होंने अपनी आस्था की कमी के कारण स्वयं पर एक बड़ा संकट आमंत्रित कर लिया था। उन्होंने उन्हें उनके महान ईश्वरीय स्रोत (Great God Source) की उपेक्षा करने के लिए आगाह किया और भविष्यवाणी की कि यह साम्राज्य एक आगंतुक राजकुमार के अधीन चला जाएगा, जो राजा की पुत्री से विवाह करने की इच्छा रखता होगा।

सात दिन बाद राजा और उनका परिवार उस सभ्यता के स्वर्णिम ईथरिक (golden-etheric) समकक्ष नगर में चले गए। अगले ही दिन वह राजकुमार आया और बिना किसी विरोध के साम्राज्य पर अधिकार कर लिया।


=== अटलांटिस पर उच्च पुजारी ===

तेरह हज़ार वर्ष पहले, [[Special:MyLanguage/Atlantis|अटलांटिस]] (Atlantis) की मुख्य भूमि पर स्थित वायलेट फ्लेम मंदिर (Violet Flame Temple) के महायाजक के रूप में, संत जरमेन अपनी प्रार्थनाओं (invocations) और अपने कारण शरीर (causal body) की शक्ति से अग्नि के एक स्तंभ को बनाए रखते थे — यह वास्तव में बैंगनी गाती हुई ज्वाला (violet singing flame) का एक दिव्य फव्वारा था। यह ज्वाला दूर-दूर से लोगों को आकर्षित करती थी, जो शरीर, मन और आत्मा की हर प्रकार की बंधनकारी अवस्था से मुक्ति पाने के लिए वहाँ आते थे। वे यह मुक्ति अपने स्वयं के प्रयासों द्वारा प्राप्त करते थे — प्रार्थनाएँ अर्पित करके और पवित्र अग्नि के लिए सातवीं किरण (seventh-ray) के अनुष्ठानों का अभ्यास करके।

जो लोग वायलेट लौ के मंदिर (Violet Flame Temple) की वेदी पर सेवा करते थे, उन्हें [[Special:MyLanguage/Zadkiel|जैडकीयल]] (Lord Zadkiel) के आश्रम [[Special:MyLanguage/Temple of Purification|शुद्धिकरण मंदिर]] (Temple of Purification) में [[Special:MyLanguage/Melchizedek|मेल्कीज़ेडक]] (Melchizedek) की परम्परा (Order of Melchizedek) के सार्वभौमिक पुरोहितत्व की शिक्षा दी जाती थी। यह मंदिर उस स्थान पर स्थित था जहाँ आज क्यूबा द्वीप है।
यह पुरोहित परंपरा पूर्ण धर्म और पूर्ण विज्ञान का संगम मानी जाती थी। यहीं पर संत जरमेन और [[Special:MyLanguage/Jesus|ईसा मसीह]] (Jesus) — दोनों को अभिषेक (anointing) प्राप्त हुआ था, जिसके बारे में स्वयं ज़ैडकियल ने कहा था:
“तुम सदा के लिए मेल्कीज़ेडक की परंपरा के अनुसार एक पुरोहित हो।”

अटलांटिस के डूबने से पहले, जब [[Special:MyLanguage/Noah|नोआह]] (Noah) अपनी नाव (ark) बना रहे थे और आने वाली [[Special:MyLanguage/The Flood|जल प्रलय]] (the great Flood) के बारे में लोगों को चेतावनी दे रहे थे, तब ग्रेट डिवाइन डायरेक्टर (Great Divine Director) ने संत जरमेन और कुछ निष्ठावान पुरोहितों को शुद्धिकरण मंदिर (Temple of Purification) से स्वतंत्रता की ज्योति (flame of freedom) को सुरक्षित स्थान पर ले जाने के लिए बुलाया। वे इस ज्योति को ट्रांसिल्वेनिया के कार्पेथियन (Carpathian foothills in Transylvania) पर्वतों की तराइयों (Carpathian foothills) में ले गए। वहाँ उन्होंने स्वतंत्रता की अग्नियों को विस्तार देने वाले पवित्र अनुष्ठानों को जारी रखा, जबकि ईश्वरीय आदेश के अनुसार मानवजाति को अपने कर्मों का फल भुगतना पड़ रहा था।

आने वाले अपने सभी जन्मों में महान दिव्य निर्देशक (Great Divine Director) के मार्गदर्शन में संत जरमेन और उनके अनुयायियों ने वायलेट लौ को पुनः प्राप्त किया और मंदिर की रक्षा भी की। इसके बाद महान दिव्य निर्देशक ने अपने शिष्य, संत जरमेन के साथ मिलकर वायलेट लौ के स्थान पर एक आश्रय स्थल स्थापित किया और हंगरी के राजघराने राकोज़ी (House of Rakoczy, the royal house of Hungary) की स्थापना भी की।


=== ईश्वर के दूत सेमुएल (The Prophet Samuel) ===

[[File:Eli and Samuel.jpg|thumb|upright|''सेमुएल एली के घर पर उन्हें परमेश्वर के न्याय के बारे में बताते हुए'', जॉन सिंगलटन कोपले (1780) (Samuel Relating to Eli the Judgements of God upon Eli’s House, John Singleton Copley, 1780)]]

[[File:Uncion de David por Samuel de Antonio Gonzalez Velazquez.JPG|thumb|एंटोनियो गोंज़ालेज़ वेलाज़क्वेज़ का चित्र जिसमें सैमुअल डेविड का अभिषेक कर रहे हैं (Samuel anointing David, by Antonio González Velázquez)]]

ग्यारहवीं शताब्दी बी सी में, संत जरमेन ने भविष्यवक्ता सैमुएल के रूप में जन्म लिया। वह महान धर्मत्याग (apostasy) के समय के एक असाधारण धार्मिक नेता थे और उन्होंने इजराइल के अंतिम न्यायाधीश तथा उसके प्रथम भविष्यवक्ता के रूप में सेवा की। उन दिनों न्यायाधीश केवल विवादों का निपटारा करने वाले व्यक्ति नहीं होते थे; वे करिश्माई नेता माने जाते थे, जिनके बारे में विश्वास था कि उनका ईश्वर से सीधा संपर्क है और वे इजराइल की जातियों को अत्याचारियों के विरुद्ध एकजुट कर सकते हैं।

सैमुएल ईश्वर द्वारा [[Special:MyLanguage/Abraham|अब्राहम]] (Abraham) की संतानों को भ्रष्ट याजकों—एली के पुत्रों—और पलिश्तियों (Philistines) की दासता से मुक्त कराने के सन्देश वाहक थे। पलिश्तियों ने युद्ध में इजराइलियों का भारी संहार किया था। परंपरागत रूप से सैमुएल का नाम Moses के साथ एक महान मध्यस्थ (intercessor) के रूप में लिया जाता है। जब राष्ट्र लगातार पलिश्तियों (Philistines) के खतरों का सामना कर रहा था, तब सैमुएल ने साहसपूर्वक लोगों का आध्यात्मिक पुनर्जागरण में नेतृत्व किया। उन्होंने उन्हें यह कहते हुए प्रेरित किया कि वे “अपने पूरे हृदय से प्रभु की ओर लौटें” और “विदेशी देवताओं को दूर कर दें।” लोगों ने पश्चात्ताप किया और सैमुएल से विनती की कि वे उनकी रक्षा और उद्धार के लिए प्रभु से प्रार्थना करना बंद न करें। जब सैमुएल प्रार्थना कर रहे थे और बलिदान अर्पित कर रहे थे, तब एक भयंकर गर्जन-तूफ़ान उठा, जिससे इजराइलियों को अपने शत्रुओं पर विजय पाने का अवसर मिला। सैमुएल के जीवनकाल में पलिश्ती फिर कभी शक्तिशाली होकर नहीं उठ सके।

सैमुअल ने अपना बाकी जीवन पूरे देश में न्याय करते हुए बिताया। वृद्ध हो जाने पर उन्होंने अपने पुत्रों को इजराइल के न्यायाधीश नियुक्त कर दिया परन्तु उनके पुत्र भ्रष्ट निकले। लोगों ने माँग की कि सैमुअल उन्हें एक राजा दे, जैसा कि अन्य देशों में था। इस बात से बहुत दुःखी होकर <ref>१ सैमुअल ८:५.</ref> ने ईश्वर से प्रार्थना की। फलस्वरूप ईश्वर ने उन्हें निर्देश दिया कि वे लोगों के आदेश का पालन करें। ईश्वर ने कहा, “लोगों ने तुम्हें नहीं, वरन मुझे अस्वीकार किया है, कि मैं उन पर राज्य न करूँ।”<ref>१ सैमुअल ८:७.</ref>

सैमुअल ने इजराइलियों को समझाया कि राजा का शासन होने के बाद उन्हें कई खतरों का सामना करना पड़ेगा, लेकिन लोग फिर भी राजा की माँग पर अटल रहे। इसके पश्चात सैमुअल ने सॉल (Saul) को उनका नेता नियुक्त किया; उन्होंने उसे तथा लोगों को सदैव ईश्वर के रास्ते पर चलने का निर्देश भी दिया। पर सॉल (Saul) एक विश्वासघाती सेवक साबित हुआ इसलिए सैमुअल ने उसे दंड दिया और गुप्त रूप से [[Special:MyLanguage/King David|राजा डेविड]] को राजा नियुक्त किया। सैमुअल की मृत्यु के बाद उन्हें रामाह (Ramah) में दफनाया गया। पूरे इजराइल ने उनके निधन का शोक मनाया।


=== संत जोसेफ (Saint Joseph) ===

{{main-hi|Saint Joseph|संत जोसेफ}}

संत जरमेन एक जन्म में संत जोसेफ थे। वे ईसा मसीह के पिता और [[Special:MyLanguage/Mother Mary|मेरी]] के पति थे। न्यू टेस्टामेंट (New Testament) में उनके बारे में कुछ उल्लेख मिलते हैं। बाइबल में उन्हें [[Special:MyLanguage/King David|राजा डेविड]] का वशंज बताया गया है। बाइबल में इस बात का भी वर्णन है कि जब एक देवदूत ने उन्हें स्वप्न में चेतावनी दी कि हेरोड (Herod) ईसा मसीह को मारने की योजना बना रहा है, तो जोसेफ अपने परिवार-सहित वह स्थान छोड़ मिस्र चले गए। हेरोड की मृत्यु के बाद ही वे वापस लौटे। ऐसी मान्यता है कि जोसेफ एक बढ़ई थे और ईसा मसीह के सार्वजनिक उपदेश कार्य शुरू करने से पहले ही उनका निधन हो गया था। कैथोलिक परंपरा (Catholic tradition) में संत जोसेफ को विश्वव्यापी चर्च (Universal Church) के संरक्षक (Patron ) के रूप में सम्मानित किया जाता है, और उनका पर्व १९ मार्च को मनाया जाता है।

=== संत एल्बन (Saint Alban) ===

तीसरी शताब्दी के उत्तरार्ध में, संत जरमेन ने Saint Alban के रूप में अवतार लिया, जिन्हें ब्रिटेन का प्रथम शहीद माना जाता है। एल्बन इंग्लैंड (Alban, England) में उस समय रहते थे जब रोमन सम्राट डायोक्लेटियन (Roman emperor Diocletian) के शासनकाल में ईसाइयों पर अत्याचार हो रहे थे। वे एक मूर्तिपूजक थे। उन्होंने रोमन सेना में सेवा भी की थी और बाद में वेरुलामियम (Verulamium) नामक शहर में बस गए थे। वेरुलामियम शहर का नाम बाद में बदलकर सेंट एल्बंस (St. Albans) कर दिया गया। एल्बन ने एम्फीबालस (Amphibalus) नामक एक भगोड़े/फ़रार (Fugitive) ईसाई पादरी को छुपाया था, जिसने उनका धर्म परिवर्तन करवाया था। जब सैनिक उसे ढूँढ़ने आए तो एल्बन ने पादरी को वहां से भगा दिया और स्वयं पादरी का वेश धारण कर लिया।

जब एल्बन का यह कार्य प्रकट हो गया, तब उन्हें कोड़े लगाए गए और मृत्यु-दंड सुनाया गया। कथा के अनुसार, उनके दंड को देखने के लिए इतनी विशाल भीड़ एकत्र हो गई कि लोग उस संकरे पुल से पार नहीं जा पा रहे थे, जिसे पार करना आवश्यक था। अल्बन ने प्रार्थना की, और कहा जाता है कि नदी का जल अलग हो गया, जिससे भीड़ को मार्ग मिल गया। यह चमत्कार देखकर उनका नियुक्त जल्लाद प्रभावित होकर ईसाई बन गया और उसने एल्बन के स्थान पर स्वयं मरने की प्रार्थना की। किन्तु उसकी प्रार्थना स्वीकार नहीं की गई, और अंततः उसका भी एल्बन के साथ सिर काट दिया गया।

संत एल्बन (Saint Alban) को सन् 303 ईस्वी में उनकी मृत्यु के बाद से ही ब्रिटिश द्वीपों (the Isles) के लोगों द्वारा श्रद्धा और सम्मान के साथ पूजनीय माना जाता रहा है। रेवरेंड (Reverend) Alban Butler ने अपनी पुस्तक Lives of the Fathers, Martyrs and other Principal Saints में लिखा है: “हमारे द्वीप ने अनेक युगों तक संत एल्बन को अपने गौरवशाली प्रथम शहीद (protomartyr) और ईश्वर के समक्ष शक्तिशाली संरक्षक के रूप में पहचाना और उनकी मध्यस्थता के द्वारा ईश्वर से प्राप्त अनेक महान कृपाओं को स्वीकार किया।” यह कथन दर्शाता है कि सेंट एल्बन को ब्रिटेन में केवल एक शहीद ही नहीं, बल्कि आध्यात्मिक रक्षक और प्रेरणास्रोत के रूप में भी देखा जाता था।


=== प्रोक्लस के शिक्षक ===

संत जर्मेन ने आंतरिक स्तर से नियोप्लैटोनिस्ट्स (वे दार्शनिक जिन्होंने प्लेटोनिक दर्शन का उत्तर-प्राचीन संस्करण विकसित किया था; तीसरी शताब्दी के दार्शनिक प्लोटिनस इसके संस्थापक थे) के पीछे प्रमुख शिक्षक के रूप में कार्य किया। वे यूनानी दार्शनिक प्रोक्लस (४१०–४८५ ऐ डी) के पोरेरणास्रोत थ। प्रोक्लस एथेंस में 'प्लेटो अकादमी' के प्रमुख थे और समाज के एक अत्यंत सम्मानित सदस्य थे। उन्होंने यह भी बताया की प्रोक्लस पूर्व जन्म में पाइथागोरियन दार्शनिक थे। उन्होंने प्रोक्लस को कॉन्स्टेंटाइन के ईसाई धर्म के पाखंडों के बारे में बताया, और साथ ही व्यक्तिवाद (प्रत्येक व्यक्ति स्वयं में ईश्वर की खोज करे) के मार्ग का महत्व भी समझाया। ईसाई व्यक्तिवाद को "मूर्तिपूजा" कहते थे।

अपने गुरु संत जर्मेन के मार्गदर्शन में प्रोक्लस ने अपने दर्शनशास्त्र को इस सिद्धांत पर आधारित किया कि सत्य केवल एक ही है और वह है कि "ईश्वर एक है"। ईश्वर को पाना ही इस जीवन का एकमात्र लक्ष्य है। उन्होंने कहा, "सभी शरीरों से परे आत्मा है, सभी आत्माओं से परे बौद्धिक अस्तित्व, और सभी बौद्धिक अस्तित्वों से परे एक (ईश्वर) है।"<ref>थॉमस व्हिटेकर, ''द नियो-प्लेटोनिस्ट्स: ए स्टडी इन द हिस्ट्री ऑफ़ हेलेनिज़्म'', दूसरा संस्करण (कैम्ब्रिज: कैम्ब्रिज यूनिवर्सिटी प्रेस, १९२८), पृष्ठ १६५.</ref>

प्रोक्लस ने विभिन्न विषयों पर लिखा जैसे दर्शनशास्त्र, खगोल विज्ञान, गणित, व्याकरण इत्यादि। उनका मानना था कि उन्हें यह ज्ञान और दर्शन ऊपर (ईश्वर) से मिला था। उन्होंने स्वयं को एक ऐसा माध्यम माना जिससे ईश्वरीय रहस्योद्घाटन मानवजाति तक पहुँचता है।

प्रोक्लस ने यह स्वीकार किया था कि उन्हें ज्ञान और दर्शन ऊपर (ईश्वर) से मिला था। वे स्वयं को 'दिव्य रहस्योद्घाटन' का एक माध्यम मानते थे। उनके शिष्य मारिनस के शब्दों में "वे वाकई दिव्य प्रेरणा से प्रतीत होते थे क्योंकि जब उनके मुख से ज्ञानपूर्ण शब्द निकलते थे उनकी आँखों से एक तेज़ आभा निकलती थी, और उनका पूरा शरीर दिव्य प्रकाश से जगमगाता था।"<ref>विक्टर कज़िन एंड थॉमस टेलर, अनुवादक, ''ट्रीयटाईसीस ऑफ प्रोक्लस, द प्लेटोनिक सक्सेसर'' (लंदन: ऍन.पी., १८३३), पी.वी.</ref>


=== मर्लिन ===

{{main-hi|Merlin|मर्लिन}}

पाँचवीं शताब्दी में संत जर्मेन मर्लिन के रूप में अवतरित हुए। वे [[Special:MyLanguage/King Arthur|राजा आर्थर]] के दरबार में एक रसायनशास्त्री थे, भविष्यवक्ता और सलाहकार के रूप में कार्य करते थे। युद्धरत सामंतों से विखंडित और सैक्सन आक्रमणकारियों से त्रस्त भूमि में मर्लिन ने ब्रिटेन के राज्य को एकजुट करने के लिए बारह युद्धों (जो वास्तव में बारह दीक्षाएँ थीं) में आर्थर का नेतृत्व किया। उन्होंने [[Special:MyLanguage/Round Table|राउंड टेबल]] की पवित्र अध्येतावृत्ति स्थापित करने के लिए राजा के साथ कंधे से कंधा मिलाकर काम किया। मर्लिन और आर्थर के मार्गदर्शन में कैमलॉट [[Special:MyLanguage/mystery school|रहस्य का एक विद्यालय]] था जहाँ वीर पुरुष और स्त्रियां [[Special:MyLanguage/Holy Grail|होली ग्रेल]] के रहस्यों को जानने के लिए अध्ययन करते थे, और स्वयं का आध्यात्मिक विकास भी करते थे।

कुछ परंपराओं में मर्लिन को एक ईश्वरीय ऋषि के रूप में वर्णित किया गया है जिन्होंने तारों का अध्ययन किया और जिनकी भविष्यवाणियाँ सत्तर सचिवों द्वारा दर्ज की गईं। "द प्रोफेसीस ऑफ मर्लिन", जो आर्थर के समय से लेकर सुदूर भविष्य तक की घटनाओं का वर्णन करती है, मध्य युग में अत्यंत लोकप्रिय थी।

=== रोजर बेकन ===

{{Main-hi|Roger Bacon|रोजर बेकन}}

संत जर्मेन एक जन्म में रोजर बेकन (१२२०-१२९२) थे। बेकन के रूप में वे एक दार्शनिक, फ्रांसिस्कन भिक्षु, शिक्षाविद्, शैक्षिक सुधारक और प्रयोगात्मक वैज्ञानिक थे। वो एक ऐसा युग था जब विज्ञान का मापदंड धर्म और तर्क पर आधारित था, और ऐसे समय में बेकन ने विज्ञान में प्रयोगात्मक पद्धति को बढ़ावा दिया; उन्होंने कहा कि दुनिया गोल है - उन्होंने उस समय के विद्वानों और वैज्ञानिकों की संकीर्ण विचारधारा की निंदा की। उन्होंने कहा कि "सच्चा ज्ञान दूसरों के अधिकार से नहीं उत्पन्न होता और ना ही यह पुरातनपंथी सिद्धांतों के प्रति अंधश्रद्धा से उपजता है।" <ref>हेनरी थॉमस एंड डाना ली थॉमस, ''लिविंग बायोग्राफीज़ ऑफ़ ग्रेट साइंटिस्ट्स'' (गार्डन सिटी, न्यूयॉर्क: नेल्सन डबलडे, १९४१), पृष्ठ १५.</ref> अंततः बेकन ने पेरिस विश्वविद्यालय में व्याख्याता का पद छोड़ दिया और फ्रांसिस्कन ऑर्डर ऑफ़ फ्रायर्स माइनर में शामिल हो गए।

बेकन रसायन विद्या, प्रकाशविज्ञान, गणित और विभिन्न भाषाओं पर अपने गहन शोध के लिए प्रसिद्ध थे। उन्हें आधुनिक विज्ञान का अग्रदूत और आधुनिक तकनीक का भविष्यवक्ता माना जाता है। उन्होंने भविष्यवाणी की थी कि आने वाले समय में गर्म हवा के गुब्बारे, उड़ने वाली मशीन, चश्मे, दूरबीन, सूक्ष्मदशंक यंत्र, लिफ्ट और यंत्रचालित जहाज़ और गाड़ियां होंगी - उन्होंने इन सब के बारे में ऐसे लिखा मानो ये उनका प्रत्यक्ष अनुभव हो।

उनके वैज्ञानिक और दार्शनिक दृष्टिकोण, धर्मशास्त्रियों पर उनके आक्षेपों और रसायन विद्या तथा ज्योतिष शास्त्र के उनके ज्ञान के कारण उन पर "विधर्मी और असमान्य" होने के आरोप लगे। इन सब बातों के लिए उनके साथी फ्रांसिस्कन लोगों ने उन्हें चौदह साल के लिए कारावास में डाल दिया। लेकिन अपने अनुयायियों के लिए बेकन "डॉक्टर मिराबिलिस" ("अद्भुत शिक्षक") थे - ये एक ऐसी उपाधि है जिससे उन्हें सदियों से जाना जाता रहा है।

[[File:Portrait of a Man, Said to be Christopher Columbus.jpg|thumb|left|alt=caption|सेबेस्टियानो डेल पियोम्बो द्वारा बनाया गया क्रिस्टोफर कोलंबस का उनका मरणोपरांत चित्र (१५१९)]]


=== क्रिस्टोफर कोलंबस ===

{{Main-hi|Christopher Columbus|क्रिस्टोफर कोलंबस}}

एक अन्य जन्म में संत जर्मेन अमेरिका के आविष्कारक क्रिस्टोफर कोलंबस (१४५१-१५०६) थे। कोलंबस के जन्म से दो शताब्दी से भी अधिक समय पहले रोजर बेकन कोलंबस की यात्रा के लिए मंच तैयार किया था - उन्होंने अपनी पुस्तक ''ओपस माजस'' में लिखा था कि "यदि मौसम अनुकूल हो तो पश्चिम में स्पेन के अंत और पूर्व में भारत की शुरुआत के बीच का समुद्र की यात्रा कुछ ही दिनों की जा सकती है।"<ref>डेविड वॉलेचिन्स्की, एमी वालेस एंड इरविंग वालेस की पुस्तक ''द बुक ऑफ प्रेडिक्शन्स'' (न्यूयॉर्क: विलियम मोरो एंड कंपनी, १९८०), पृष्ठ ३४६.</ref> हालाँकि यह कथन गलत था क्योंकि स्पेन के पश्चिम में स्थित भूमि भारत नहीं थी, फिर भी यह कथन कोलंबस की खोज में सहायक हुआ था। कोलम्बस ने १४९८ में राजा फर्डिनेंड और रानी इसाबेला को लिखे अपने एक पत्र में ''ओपस माजस'' में लिखी इस बात को उद्धृत किया और कहा कि उनकी १४९२ की यात्रा आंशिक रूप से इसी दूरदर्शी कथन से प्रेरित थी।

कोलंबस का मानना था कि ईश्वर ने उन्हें "नए स्वर्ग और नई पृथ्वी का संदेशवाहक बनाया था, जिसके बारे में उन्होंने अपोकलीप्स ऑफ़ सेंट जॉन में लिखा था, आईज़ेयाह ने भी इसके बारे में कहा था। "इंडीज के इस उद्यम को अंजाम देने में,"<ref>क्लेमेंट्स आर. मार्खम, ''क्रिस्टोफर कोलंबस का जीवन'' (लंदन: जॉर्ज फिलिप एंड सन, १८९२), पृष्ठ २०७–८.</ref> उन्होंने १५०२ में राजा फर्डिनेंड और रानी इसाबेला को लिखा, "आईज़ेयाह पूरी तरह से सही कहा था - तर्क, गणित, या नक्शे मेरे किसी काम के नहीं थे।" कोलंबस आईज़ेयाह की ११:१०–१२ में दर्ज भविष्यवाणी का उल्लेख कर रहे थे कि प्रभु “अपनी प्रजा के बचे हुओं को बचा लेंगे... और इस्राएल के निकाले हुओं को इकट्ठा करेंगे, और पृथ्वी की चारों दिशाओं से जुडाह के बिखरे हुओं को इकट्ठा करेंगे।”<ref>''एनसाइक्लोपीडिया ब्रिटानिका'', १५वां संस्करण, एस.वी. “कोलंबस, क्रिस्टोफर।”</ref>

उन्हें पूरा विश्वास था कि ईश्वर ने ही उन्हें इस मिशन के लिए चुना है। उन्होंने बाइबिल में लिखी भविष्यवाणियों को पढ़ा और अपने मिशन से संबंधित बातों को अपनी एक पुस्तक "लास प्रोफिसियास (द प्रोफेसीस )", में लिखा। "द बुक ऑफ़ प्रोफेसीस कंसर्निंग द डिस्कवरी ऑफ़ इंडीज एंड द रिकवरी ऑफ़ जेरुसलम" में इन बातों के बारे में विस्तारपूर्वक लिखा है। हालाँकि इस बात पर कम ही ज़ोर दिया जाता है, लेकिन यह एक माना हुआ तथ्य है तथा इसके बारे में "एनसाइक्लोपीडिया ब्रिटानिका" में भी स्पष्ट रूप से लिखा है कि "कोलंबस ने खगोल विज्ञान नहीं वरन भविष्यवाणी का अनुसरण कर अमरीका की खोज की थी।"

[[File:Francis Bacon, Viscount St Alban from NPG (2).jpg|thumb|upright|alt=caption|फ्रांसिस बेकन, विस्काउंट सेंट एल्बन, एक अज्ञात कलाकार द्वारा बनाया चित्र]]


=== फ्रांसिस बेकन ===

{{Main-hi|Francis Bacon|फ्रांसिस बेकन}}

फ्रांसिस बेकन (१५६१-१६२६) एक दार्शनिक, राजनेता, निबंधकार और साहित्यकार थे। बेकन को पश्चिम का अब तक का सबसे बड़ा ज्ञानी और विचारक कहा जाता है। वे विवेचनात्मक तार्किकता (एक तर्क पद्धति है जिसमें विशिष्ट तथ्यों को जोड़कर एक सामान्य निष्कर्ष निकाला जाता है) और वैज्ञानिक पद्धति के जनक माने जाते हैं। वे काफी हद तक इस तकनीकी युग के लिए ज़िम्मेदार हैं जिसमें हम आज जी रहे हैं। वे जानते थे कि केवल व्यावहारिक विज्ञान ही जनसाधारण को मानवीय कष्टों और आम ज़िन्दगी की नीरसता से मुक्ति दिला सकता है और ऐसा होने पर ही मनुष्य आध्यात्मिक मार्ग पर अग्रसर हो सकता है, व् उस उत्तम आध्यात्मिकता की पुनः खोज कर सकता है जिसे वह पहले कभी अच्छी तरह से जानता था।

"महान असंतृप्ति" (अर्थात पतन, नाश , गलतियों, और जीर्णावस्था के बाद वृहद् पुनर्स्थापना) "संपूर्ण विश्व" को बदलने का उनका तरीका था। इस बात की अवधारणा पहली बार उन्होंने बचपन में की थी। फिर १६०७, में उन्होंने इसी नाम से अपनी पुस्तक में इसे मूर्त रूप दिया। इसके बाद अंग्रेजी पुनर्जागरण की शुरुआत की।

समय के साथ-साथ बेकन ने अपने आसपास कुछ ऐसे लेखकों को एकत्र किया जो एलिज़ाबेथकालीन साहित्य के लिए ज़िम्मेदार थे। इनमें से कुछ एक "गुप्त संस्था" - "द नाइट्स ऑफ़ द हेलमेट" के सदस्य थे। इस संस्था का लक्ष्य अंग्रेजी भाषा का विस्तार करना था और एक ऐसे नए साहित्य की रचना करना था जिसे अंग्रेज लोग समझ पाएं। बेकन ने [[Special:MyLanguage/Bible translations|बाइबल के अनुवाद]] (किंग जेम्स का संस्करण) का भी आयोजन किया - उनका यह दृढ़ निश्चय था कि आम लोगों को भी ईश्वर के कहे शब्दों को पढ़ने का मौका मिलना चाहिए।

१८९० के दशक में शेक्सपियर के नाटकों के मूल मुद्रणों और बेकन तथा अन्य एलिज़ाबेथ काल के लेखकों की कृतियों में लिखे सांकेतिक शब्दों से यह आभास होता है कि बेकन ने शेक्सपियर के नाटक लिखे थे और वे महारानी एलिजाबेथ और लॉर्ड लीसेस्टर के पुत्र थे।<ref>देखें{{TSC}}.</ref> हालाँकि उनकी माँ ने उन्हें अपना उत्तराधिकारी मानने से इनकार कर दिया क्योंकि वह डरती थीं की सत्ता उचित समय से पहले भी उनके हाथ से निकल सकती है।

जीवन के अंतिम वर्षों में बेकन को बहुत तंग किया गया। उनकी बहुमुखी प्रतिभा को पहचानने वाला कोई नहीं था। ऐसा कहा जाता है कि उनकी मृत्यु १६२६ में हुई थी, लेकिन कुछ लोगों का दावा है कि उसके बाद भी वे गुप्त रूप से कुछ समय तक यूरोप में रहे। उन्होंने ऐसी कठिन परिस्थितियों का वीरता से सामना किया जो किसी भी सामान्य मनुष्य को नष्ट कर सकती हैं। फिर १ मई, १६८४, को उनकी जीवात्मा [[Special:MyLanguage/Great Divine Director|महान दिव्य निर्देशक]] के आश्रय स्थल [[Special:MyLanguage/Rakoczy Mansion|राकोज़ी हवेली]] से स्वर्ग सिधार गयी।

=== यूरोप का अजूबा आदमी ===

{{Main-hi|Wonderman of Europe|यूरोप का अजूबा आदमी}}

लोगों को मुक्ति दिलाने की सर्वोपरि इच्छा रखते हुए संत जर्मेन ने [[Special:MyLanguage/Lords of Karma|कर्म के स्वामी]] से भौतिक शरीर में पृथ्वी पर लौटने की अनुमति मांगी और उन्हें यह अनुमति मिल भी गई। वे "ले कॉम्टे डे सेंट जर्मेन" के रूप में प्रकट हुए - एक "चमत्कारी" सज्जन जिन्होंने अठारहवीं और उन्नीसवीं सदी के दौरान यूरोप के दरबारों को चकित कर दिया था। यहीं से उन्हें "द वंडरमैन (एक अजूबा आदमी)" का खिताब मिला।

वे एक आद्यवैज्ञानिक, विद्वान, भाषाविद्, कवि, संगीतकार, कलाकार, कथाकार और राजनयिक थे। यूरोप के दरबारों में उनकी काफी प्रशंसा की जाती थी। उन्हें मणियों की पहचान थी, उन्हें हीरे और अन्य रत्नों में दोष निकालने के लिए जाना जाता था। साथ ही उन्हें एक हाथ से पत्र और दूसरे हाथ से कविता लिखने जैसे कार्य के लिए भी जाना जाता था। वोल्टेयर के शब्दों में "वे एक ऐसे व्यक्ति थे जो कभी नहीं मर सकता, और जो सब कुछ जानता है।"<ref>वोल्टेयर, ''ओयूव्रेस'', लेट्रे cxviii, सं. बेउचोट, lviii, पृष्ठ ३६०, इसाबेल कूपर-ओकले, ''द काउंट ऑफ़ सेंट जर्मेन'' (ब्लौवेल्ट, एन.वाई.: रुडोल्फ स्टीनर पब्लिकेशंस, १९७०), पृष्ठ ९६ में उद्धृत।</ref> उनका उल्लेख फ्रेडरिक द ग्रेट, वोल्टेयर, होरेस वालपोल और कैसानोवा के पत्रों और उस समय के समाचार पत्रों में मिलता है।

परदे के पीछे से वे यह प्रयास कर रहे थे कि [[Special:MyLanguage/French Revolution|फ्रांसीसी क्रांति]] बिना रक्तपात के हो जाए - राजतंत्र को प्रजातंत्र में आराम से बदल दिया जाए ताकि जनता के द्वारा चुने हुए प्रतिनिधियों की सरकार हो। लेकिन उनकी इस सलाह को नज़रअंदाज़ कर दिया गया। यूरोप को एकजुट करने के अपने अंतिम प्रयास में उन्होंने [[Special:MyLanguage/Napoleon|नेपोलियन]] का समर्थन किया, परन्तु नेपोलियन ने अपने गुरु की शक्तियों का दुरुपयोग किया और मृत्यु को प्राप्त किया।

लेकिन इससे भी पहले संत जर्मेन ने अपना ध्यान एक नई दुनिया की ओर मोड़ लिया था। वे संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका और उसके [[Special:MyLanguage/George Washington|प्रथम राष्ट्रपति]] के प्रायोजक बने। स्वतंत्रता की घोषणा और संविधान उन्हीं से प्रेरित था। उन्होंने कई ऐसे उपकरणों को बनाने की प्रेरणा भी दी जिनसे शारीरिक श्रम का कम से कम उपयोग हो ताकि मानवजाति कठिन परिश्रम से मुक्त होकर ईश्वर-प्राप्ति के रास्ते पर चल सके।


== सातवीं किरण के चौहान ==

अठारहवीं शताब्दी के उत्तरार्ध में, संत जर्मेन ने महिला दिव्यगुरु [[Special:MyLanguage/Kuan Yin|कुआन यिन]] से सातवीं किरण चौहान का पद प्राप्त किया। सातवीं किरण दया, क्षमा और पवित्र अनुष्ठान की किरण है। इसके बाद, बीसवीं शताब्दी में, संत जर्मेन एक बार फिर [[Special:MyLanguage/Great White Brotherhood|श्वेत महासंघ]] (ग्रेट व्हाइट ब्रदरहुड) की एक बाहरी गतिविधि को प्रायोजित करने के लिए आगे बढ़े।

१९३० के दशक के आरंभ में उन्होंने अपने "पृथ्वी पर कार्यरत सेनापति" जॉर्ज वाशिंगटन से संपर्क किया, और उन्हें एक [[Special:MyLanguage/messenger|संदेशवाहक]] के रूप में प्रशिक्षित किया। वाशिंगटन ने [[Special:MyLanguage/Godfré Ray King|गॉडफ्रे रे किंग]] के उपनाम से, "अनवील्ड मिस्ट्रीज़", "द मैजिक प्रेज़ेंस" और "द "आई एम" डिस्कोर्सेज़" नामक पुस्तकें लिखीं जिनमें उन्होंने संत जर्मेन द्वारा नए युग के लिए दिए गए निर्देशों के बारे में लिखा। इसी दशक के अंतिम दिनों में न्याय की देवी और अन्य [[Special:MyLanguage/cosmic being|ब्रह्मांडीय प्राणी]] पवित्र अग्नि की शिक्षाओं को मानवजाति तक पहुँचाने और [[Special:MyLanguage/golden age|स्वर्ण युग]] की शुरुआत करने में संत जर्मेन की सहायता करने पृथ्वी पर अवतरित हुए।

१९६१ में संत जर्मेन ने पृथ्वी पर अपने प्रतिनिधि, संदेशवाहक [[Special:MyLanguage/Mark L. Prophet|मार्क एल. प्रोफेट]] से संपर्क किया और [[Special:MyLanguage/Ancient of Days|प्राचीन काल]] के स्वामी (सनत कुमार) और उनके प्रथम और दूसरे शिष्य शिष्य [[Special:MyLanguage/Gautama|गौतम]] और [[Special:MyLanguage/Lord Maitreya|मैत्रेय]] की स्मृति में [[Special:MyLanguage/Keepers of the Flame Fraternity|लौ रक्षक बिरादरी]] (कीपर्स ऑफ़ द फ्लेम फ्रैटरनिटी) की स्थापना की। इनका उद्देश्य उन सभी लोगों को पुनर्जागृत करना था जो मूल रूप से [[Special:MyLanguage/Sanat Kumara|सनत कुमार]] के साथ पृथ्वी पर आए थे। ये लोग पृथ्वी पर शिक्षकों के रूप में आये थे और इनका काम लोगों की सेवा करना था परन्तु यहाँ आकर वे सब बातें ये बातें भूल गए थे। संत जर्मेन का कार्य उन सबकी स्मृति को पुनर्स्थापित करना था।

इस प्रकार संत जर्मेन ने मूल लौ रक्षकों को प्राचीन काल के स्वामी की वाणी को ध्यान से सुनने को कहा। उन्होंने इन सभी लोगों को अपनी आत्मा में जीवन की ज्वाला और स्वतंत्रता की पवित्र अग्नि को पुनः प्रज्वलित करने और अपने जीवन को ईश्वर की सेवा में पुनः समर्पित करने के आह्वान दिया। संत जर्मेन लौ रक्षक बिरादरी के शूरवीर सेनाध्यक्ष हैं।


== कुम्भ युग के अध्यक्ष ==

१ मई १९५४ को संत जर्मेन ने सनत कुमार से शक्ति का प्रभुत्व और ईसा मसीह से अगले दो हज़ार वर्ष की अवधि के लिए मानवजाति की चेतना को निर्देशित का अधिकार प्राप्त किया। परन्तु इसका अर्थ यह नहीं है कि ईसा मसीह का महत्व कम हो गया है। वे अब उच्च स्तरों पर [[Special:MyLanguage/World Teacher|विश्व गुरु]] के रूप में काम कर रहे हैं, और अपनी चेतना को समस्त मानवजाति के लिए पहले से भी अधिक शक्तिशाली और सर्वव्यापी रूप से दे रहे हैं क्योंकि ईश्वर का स्वभाव निरंतर श्रेष्ठ होना है। हम एक ऐसे ब्रह्मांड में रहते हैं जिसका निरंतर विस्तार होता रहता है - ब्रह्मांड जो ईश्वर के प्रत्येक पुत्र (सूर्य) के केंद्र से विस्तारित होता है।

इस दो हजार वर्ष की अवधि के दौरान वायलेट लौ का आह्वान कर के हम स्वयं में ईश्वर की ऊर्जा (जिसे हमने हजारों वर्षों की अपनी गलत आदतों द्वारा अपवित्र किया है) को शुद्ध कर सकते हैं। ऐसा करने से समस्त मानवजाति भय, अभाव, पाप, बीमारी और मृत्यु से मुक्त हो सकती है, और सभी मनुष्य स्वतंत्र रूप से प्रकाश में चल सकते हैं।

[[Special:MyLanguage/age of Aquarius|कुंभ युग]] की शुरुआत में संत जर्मेन कर्म के स्वामी के समक्ष गए और उनसे वायलेट लौ को आम इंसानों तक पहुंचाने की आज्ञा मांगी। इसके पहले तक वायलेट लौ का ज्ञान श्वेत महासंघ के आंतरिक आश्रमों और [[Special:MyLanguage/mystery school|रहस्यवाद के विद्यालयों]] में ही था। संत जर्मेन हमें वायलेट लौ के आह्वान से होने वाले लाभ के बारे में बताते हैं:

<blockquote>
आपमें से कुछ लोगों के अधिकतर कर्म संतुलित हो गए हैं, कुछ के [[Special:MyLanguage/heart chakra|हृदय चक्र]] निर्मल हो गए हैं। जीवन में एक नया प्रेम, नई कोमलता, नई करुणा, जीवन के प्रति एक नई संवेदनशीलता, एक नई स्वतंत्रता और उस स्वतंत्रता की खोज में एक नया आनंद आ गया है। एक नई पवित्रता का उदय भी हुआ है क्योंकि मेरी लौ के माध्यम से आपका मेलकिडेक समुदाय के पुरोहितत्व से संपर्क हुआ है। अज्ञानता और मानसिक जड़ता कुछ सीमा तक समाप्त हुई है, और लोग एक ऐसे रास्ते पर चल पड़े हैं जो उन्हें ईश्वर तक पहुंचाता है।

वायलेट लौ ने पारिवारिक रिश्तों में मदद की है। इसने कुछ लोगों को अपने पुराने कर्मों को संतुलित करने में सहायता की है और वे अपने पुराने दुखों से मुक्त होने लगे हैं। हमें यह याद रखना चाहिए कि वायलेट लौ में ईश्वरीय न्याय की लौ निहित है, और ईश्वरीय न्याय में ईश्वर का मूल्याङ्कन। इसलिए हम ये कह सकते हैं कि वायलेट लौ एक दोधारी [[Special:MyLanguage/sword|तलवार]] के सामान है जो सत्य को असत्य से अलग करती है...

वायलेट लौ के अनेकानेक लाभ हैं पर उन सभी को यहाँ गिनाना संभव नहीं, लेकिन यह अवश्य है इसके प्रयोग से मनुष्य के भीतर एक गहन बदलाव होता है। वायलेट लौ हमारे उन सभी मतभेदों और मनोवैज्ञानिक समस्यायों का समाधान करती है जो बचपन से या फिर उसे से भी पहले पिछले जन्मों से चली आ रही हैं और जिन्होंने हमारी चेतना में इतनी गहरी जड़ें जमा ली हैं कि वे जन्म-जन्मांतर से वहीँ स्थित हैं।<ref>संत जर्मेन, "कीप माई पर्पल हार्ट," {{POWref|३१|७२}}</ref>
</blockquote>


== आद्यविज्ञान ==

{{Main-hi|Alchemy|आद्यविज्ञान}}

संत जर्मेन ने अपनी पुस्तक "सेंट जर्मेन ऑन अल्केमी" में आद्यविज्ञान की शिक्षा देते हैं। वे [[Special:MyLanguage/Amethyst (gemstone)|एमेथिस्ट (रत्न)]] का उपयोग करते हैं — यह आद्द्यवैज्ञनिकों का रत्न है, कुंभ युग का रत्न है और वायलेट लौ का भी। स्ट्रॉस के वाल्ट्ज़ में वायलेट लौ का स्पंदन है और यह आपको उनके साथ तालमेल बिठाने में मदद करता है। उन्होंने हमें यह भी बताया है कि [[Special:MyLanguage/Franz Liszt|फ्रांज़ लिज़्ट]] का "राकोज़ी मार्च" उनके हृदय की लौ और वायलेट लौ के सूत्र को धारण करता है।

तेरह हज़ार वर्ष पहले, [[Special:MyLanguage/Atlantis|अटलांटिस]] (Atlantis) की मुख्य भूमि पर स्थित वायलेट फ्लेम मंदिर (Violet Flame Temple) के महायाजक के रूप में, संत जरमेन अपनी प्रार्थनाओं (invocations) और अपने कारण शरीर (causal body) की शक्ति से अग्नि के एक स्तंभ को बनाए रखते थे — यह वास्तव में बैंगनी गाती हुई ज्वाला (violet singing flame) का एक दिव्य फव्वारा था। यह ज्वाला दूर-दूर से लोगों को आकर्षित करती थी, जो शरीर, मन और आत्मा की हर प्रकार की बंधनकारी अवस्था से मुक्ति पाने के लिए वहाँ आते थे। वे यह मुक्ति अपने स्वयं के प्रयासों द्वारा प्राप्त करते थे — प्रार्थनाएँ अर्पित करके और पवित्र अग्नि के लिए सातवीं किरण (seventh-ray) के अनुष्ठानों का अभ्यास करके।

Soul Retrieval

2026-05-26T20:15:10Z

PeterDuffy:

''The messenger [[Elizabeth Clare Prophet]] conducted guided '''Soul Retrieval''' meditations at quarterly conferences between the years 1995 and 1998. Currently, the ritual of soul retrieval is conducted at each quarterly conference using the messenger’s videotaped meditations.''

== The need for Soul Retrieval ==

We are all interested in Soul Retrieval because we understand that we need to bring the components of the soul back to a whole, sealed in the seat-of-the-soul chakra. And when that wholeness takes place by retrieving the elements of self that we have left here and there and across the universe, then we have the components of the soul. And now with the components of the soul reassembled we can work on wholeness and work on our bonding to the [[Jesus|Lord Jesus Christ]] through the [[Holy Christ Self]].

The [[Goddess of Wisdom]] has spoken of the need to reassemble the components of the soul:

<blockquote>
I have come with the teaching of wisdom. I have come with the teaching of wisdom because there are some among you who have reached that point when, with the touch of the fire of the Holy Spirit, you could experience a new wholeness. You have met certain requirements of the law. You have balanced certain portions of karma which are the cause behind the effect of limitations in body and mind. And yet for want of will and of determination and of the leaping into the joy of the Spirit and the understanding that God’s promises are kept—for want of this, it is as though the parts of the puzzle have not been put in place. They are there ready to be assembled to make the perfect cube. It requires the alchemy of the key, the turning of the key, and the taking of the hand, and the performing of the sacred work of the assembling of the soul components.

Think of this: to assemble soul components! Have you ever thought that perhaps the components of your soul were not in alignment with the cube of the heart? Have you perhaps left a portion of your soul in the past or with another part of life? Have you given your soul and placed it somewhere where you ought not to have placed it, in loyalties to the human consciousness and to the flesh that ought to be replaced immediately by loyalty to God and to the Spirit? Think, then, of drawing together your [[solar awareness]] and your soul consciousness. Think, then, of commanding the atoms and cells and electrons of the soul to return to the [[Seat-of-the-soul chakra|soul chakra]]. Think, then, of drawing this solar fire and solar evolution and solar consciousness as a magnet in [[Mater]] whereby ''you'', in the temple of the living God, might experience the wholeness of the [[Temple Beautiful]].

See, then, how to command Life—how to command Life—how to understand that, with all the law that is taught, there is a call for ingenuity, creativity, even genius in knowing how to call and what to call. It is like knowing the next step in a very complex problem of mathematics—how to arrive at the desired solution, what equation shall be used, what method. It is like the physician picking from the shelf the necessary application, the necessary formula to the problem.

Well, some of you have not even diagnosed the problem in order to now be concerned with that which must be applied as solution. And therefore, I bring to you a possibility and a probability that the problem is the need to assemble the components of the soul. In some cases, the soul, its forcefield, has been split by very intense fears of the past—traumatic experiences wherein you might say the soul has been driven underground, far into the depths of the subconscious like a frightened child. The soul must be called back, back to the throne room, back to the ''three''-in-''one'', back to the place where the trinity of the [[threefold flame]] is enshrined in the temple of the heart.<ref>The Goddess of Wisdom, “A Page in the Book of the Mother’s Healing,” Part II, {{POWref|20|9|, February 27, 1977}}</ref>
</blockquote>

The “Call to the Sacred Fire Breath” is an invaluable call. It connects you to the heart of [[Alpha and Omega]]. And there is the magnetizing of the elements of the soul that have been scattered or dissipated back to the heart center by the building of the heart center through [[Saint Germain's Heart Meditation]]s. Our heart center is our sun center. It is the sun of our being. As we increase and magnify God in our heart with tremendous love, tremendous loyalty, tremendous bonding, that sun becomes powerful.

[[Helios and Vesta]] in the center of our solar system have the love/wisdom to magnetize and hold in orbit the planets of this system. So you have one particular planet, which is your soul, that you want to draw back. It is the focus of the fire of the heart that enables you to do that. If you had no [[threefold flame]], if you had no center, living way out here on the surface, way out on Pluto somewhere, you are not going to magnetize the components of your soul because you have nothing with which to magnetize it. The only thing that can magnetize your soul is your solar center, your sun center.

The real difference between using a psychologist and the ascended masters and their path and the [[decree]]s is that there is no transmutation through simple psychotherapy. You may feel better and feel you have achieved results but you may not have balanced the karma of the situation. You have only come to an understanding and a resolution at the human level. Now you have to use the fire to consume the record. You may not have actually achieved something that is permanent because the only permanent way to retrieve the soul is through the bonding of the soul to your Holy Christ Self.

Soul retrieval is the work of a lifetime. Depending where you are on your spiritual path at any particular time, certain elements of your soul can be retrieved and brought back to you, and they can become a permanent part of your soul. But this requires a substance whereby that which is retrieved becomes a part now of the soul that is with you and remains.

There are centrifugal and centripetal forces in the universe. One flings us outward and one flings us inward. And so the forces that are going inward to hold that soul must be more powerful than the pull on the soul to be scattered. And as long as we walk the earth in mortal bodies, we have to be vigilant in guarding the soul.

== Why the soul has become fragmented ==

[[El Morya]] has told us:

<blockquote>
On this first day of the year I ask you first and foremost to make your peace with yourself. For if you are not at peace with yourself, you will not be at peace with me and surely I will not be at peace with you. I shall come where your members are divided within and without, and I shall help you fuse the fragmented parts of the soul into one whole.

I will come, beloved. But I say, whether you have a difficult psychology or health problems or a challenging astrology, let it be understood that the members of your being must be in harmony with one another so that there is not a warring [between these members] whereby one organ does not work with another organ [et cetera]....

Protect your [[inner child]]. Call upon us as the [[Three Wise Men]] to tend and nurture and protect your inner child; for, as you know, your inner child is your soul, who needs your loving attention. And if you hear many children speaking to you from within, know that these are fragments of your soul. And the fragments must become one voice—one voice, one soul immaculate. Only then shall that soul rise in wholeness as a totality of being.<ref>El Morya, {{POWref|38|8|, February 19, 1995}}</ref>
</blockquote>

The soul becomes fragmented when people do not maintain peace, the sixth ray quality of Jesus Christ. If we don’t have absolute peace in our being, then we cannot hold onto or magnetize these fragments. This is why years ago the masters have recommended that we are in therapy, that we read certain books, that we understand and bring to resolution and closure all kinds of things we have experienced in our lives.

We can imagine fragments of the soul as pieces of torn garments. They look somewhat black against the universe. They are here and there, millions and billions of miles away or very close, as close as your lap. They get scattered because this core of the fire infolding itself, which pulls the entire universe to yourself, was not there. The power was not there, the concentration, the devotion, the love, the communion with God all building this fiery sun. And so there was not sufficient gravity or attraction or whatever you want to call it to pull them back.

Furthermore, the spaces between the fragments of the soul that El Morya showed me are not empty spaces but they are solid and filled with the Martian energies, with the substances in our [[electronic belt]], with the records. And so the fragments can’t come near because we haven’t come to resolution and we haven’t entered into transmutation.

So any soul retrieval that we are going to do must be done through the ascended masters, because transmutation is involved. The only place that the returning of the fragments of the soul should take place is in the forcefield of the ascended masters, the forcefield of absolute protection.

== Further teachings on Soul Retrieval ==

[[Archangel Michael]] has explained the need for the ritual of Soul Retrieval:

<blockquote>
Inevitably, during the centuries of human history, you have engaged in many wars and battles. In the course of these confrontations, you have literally lost fragments of your soul, the result being that today your soul is not whole, and therefore she must be restored to wholeness through the exercise of the spoken Word.

By invoking the [[Great Central Sun Magnet]], the Messenger magnetizes back to the lawful owner soul particles that have been lost or stolen. However, it then becomes the soul’s responsibility to hold onto the retrieved particles. But if for want of sufficient momentum of the sacred fire, the soul does not have the necessary magnetism to hold the particles in her orbit, she may lose the very particles she was able to salvage through the Messenger’s invoking the Great Central Sun Magnet.

By giving dynamic violet-flame decrees to [[Saint Germain]] and protection decrees to me and my hosts, you as an earnest devotee of the [[Holy Spirit]] can in time build a sufficient momentum of the Great Central Sun Magnet within your heart chakra to overcome your present lack.

In order to accomplish this, you would do well to religiously attend soul-retrieval sessions conducted by the Messenger at quarterly conferences and on special occasions. You can attend these sessions either in person at King Arthur’s Court or by phone patch from anywhere in the world. By so doing, you would benefit greatly.

In the interim between soul-retrieval sessions, you can work on gathering back to the fold the sheep (i.e., the soul fragments of your being) that have strayed or been stolen from your pasture by wolves in sheep’s clothing. By this means, the soul may ultimately be strengthened so that she may be restored to wholeness in preparation for her reunion with her Bridegroom.<ref>Archangel Michael, “The Sword of the Spirit,” {{POWref|39|38|, September 22, 1996}}</ref>
</blockquote>

[[Saint Germain]] explains the need to guard the elements of the soul:

<blockquote>
The piracy of genes and soul fragments is a reality when you are engaged in the warfare of the Spirit. For this reason, the Messenger regularly conducts rituals of soul retrieval.

Her assignment from the Brotherhood is to demagnetize negative elements that have attached themselves to soul fragments and genetic components of the human spirit and to give them a positive spin so that their lawful owners may once again claim them. By giving calls to [[Alpha and Omega]] in the Great Central Sun Magnet, every chela can magnetize his soul fragments and genetic components back to the seat-of-the-soul chakra, the [[heart chakra]] and the [[secret chamber of the heart]].>

But as an unascended chela, you are always in danger of losing these elements of your being through anger, argumentation or arrogance. You must therefore be the watchman on the wall of your own soul consciousness. Unless you do this assiduously, [[fallen angel]]s and demons will have entrée into the sanctuary of your heart and your seat-of-the-soul chakra and they will be able to steal the crumbs of light from the Master’s table.<ref>Saint Germain, “Dedicate This One Life to Me and I Will Plead for Your Ascension Before the Lords of Karma,” {{POWref|39|26|, June 30, 1996}}</ref>
</blockquote>

[[Purity and Astrea]] speak of the importance of this ritual:

<blockquote>
Your hearts in the beginning, when you were created out of the white fire ovoid of God, had the charge of the Great Central Sun Magnet. Yet in tumbling down the octaves and landing where you have landed in this band of the physical octave, it has come to pass, because of your descent and because of having spent that light, that you no longer have conjoined to your heart chakra or threefold flame the elements of the Great Central Sun Magnet. This is why we have spoken and said we call our messenger to perform for you the ritual of soul retrieval. And we shall call her again and again.

As you prepare for the next ritual of soul retrieval, so take note, beloved, that it is the strengthening of your heart that must be our assignment to you. To strengthen the heart, one must first balance the threefold flame of the heart, for the heart flame cannot increase if it is out of balance....

Soul retrieval also involves the retrieving of the misqualified energies of the three plumes of the threefold flame and the white sphere of the Mother. Where you have misqualified, you have been the losers. Where you have correctly qualified, you have had gain. But in the aggregate today the percentages are high that most individuals, even those on the Path, have not developed the heart sufficiently to be able to call it a magnet heart (for want of another term). Thus it takes the Great Central Sun Magnet to magnetize back to you the fragments of the soul. And many of you have seen how those fragments have come home in the last twenty-four hours....

This soul-retrieval ritual will be performed again and again for you by the messenger. The reason we cannot give to you this ritual without the messenger is because we must have one—and it is the messenger whom we have raised up who is that one—who holds in her heart and has in her heart a sufficiency of elements of the Great Central Sun Magnet, as well as our overshadowing of her with that Magnet, in order that she might give the invocations for the elements of the soul to return. Once they have returned, beloved, then you must work daily with the exercises of the threefold flame. For by that flame and only that flame will you retain that which you have lost.

Thus, we have spoken and stated that the messenger will perform this ritual again and again, certainly at every quarterly conference from now on. In the interim you have approximately the twelve-week periods to work on yourself, to prepare yourself for the next ritual. I counsel you to make this a priority, for it is the priority of your very life. It is the priority of yourself and your twin flame. It is the priority that is given to you and spoken through us today from the heart of [[Alpha and Omega]].<ref>Purity and Astrea, “Seek the Daily Balancing of the Threefold Flame,” {{POWref|46|49|, December 7, 2003}}</ref>

''The messenger [[Elizabeth Clare Prophet]] conducted guided '''Soul Retrieval''' meditations at quarterly conferences between the years 1995 and 1998. Currently, the ritual of soul retrieval is conducted at each quarterly conference using the messenger’s videotaped meditations.''

== The need for Soul Retrieval ==

We are all interested in soul retrieval because we understand that we need to bring the components of the soul back to a whole, sealed in the seat-of-the-soul chakra. And when that wholeness takes place by retrieving the elements of self that we have left here and there and across the universe, then we have the components of the soul. And now with the components of the soul reassembled we can work on wholeness and work on our bonding to the [[Jesus|Lord Jesus Christ]] through the [[Holy Christ Self]].

The [[Goddess of Wisdom]] has spoken of the need to reassemble the components of the soul:

<blockquote>
I have come with the teaching of wisdom. I have come with the teaching of wisdom because there are some among you who have reached that point when, with the touch of the fire of the Holy Spirit, you could experience a new wholeness. You have met certain requirements of the law. You have balanced certain portions of karma which are the cause behind the effect of limitations in body and mind. And yet for want of will and of determination and of the leaping into the joy of the Spirit and the understanding that God’s promises are kept—for want of this, it is as though the parts of the puzzle have not been put in place. They are there ready to be assembled to make the perfect cube. It requires the alchemy of the key, the turning of the key, and the taking of the hand, and the performing of the sacred work of the assembling of the soul components.

Think of this: to assemble soul components! Have you ever thought that perhaps the components of your soul were not in alignment with the cube of the heart? Have you perhaps left a portion of your soul in the past or with another part of life? Have you given your soul and placed it somewhere where you ought not to have placed it, in loyalties to the human consciousness and to the flesh that ought to be replaced immediately by loyalty to God and to the Spirit? Think, then, of drawing together your [[solar awareness]] and your soul consciousness. Think, then, of commanding the atoms and cells and electrons of the soul to return to the [[Seat-of-the-soul chakra|soul chakra]]. Think, then, of drawing this solar fire and solar evolution and solar consciousness as a magnet in [[Mater]] whereby ''you'', in the temple of the living God, might experience the wholeness of the [[Temple Beautiful]].

See, then, how to command Life—how to command Life—how to understand that, with all the law that is taught, there is a call for ingenuity, creativity, even genius in knowing how to call and what to call. It is like knowing the next step in a very complex problem of mathematics—how to arrive at the desired solution, what equation shall be used, what method. It is like the physician picking from the shelf the necessary application, the necessary formula to the problem.

Well, some of you have not even diagnosed the problem in order to now be concerned with that which must be applied as solution. And therefore, I bring to you a possibility and a probability that the problem is the need to assemble the components of the soul. In some cases, the soul, its forcefield, has been split by very intense fears of the past—traumatic experiences wherein you might say the soul has been driven underground, far into the depths of the subconscious like a frightened child. The soul must be called back, back to the throne room, back to the ''three''-in-''one'', back to the place where the trinity of the [[threefold flame]] is enshrined in the temple of the heart.<ref>The Goddess of Wisdom, “A Page in the Book of the Mother’s Healing,” Part II, {{POWref|20|9|, February 27, 1977}}</ref>
</blockquote>

The “Call to the Sacred Fire Breath” is an invaluable call. It connects you to the heart of [[Alpha and Omega]]. And there is the magnetizing of the elements of the soul that have been scattered or dissipated back to the heart center by the building of the heart center through [[Saint Germain's Heart Meditation]]s. Our heart center is our sun center. It is the sun of our being. As we increase and magnify God in our heart with tremendous love, tremendous loyalty, tremendous bonding, that sun becomes powerful.

[[Helios and Vesta]] in the center of our solar system have the love/wisdom to magnetize and hold in orbit the planets of this system. So you have one particular planet, which is your soul, that you want to draw back. It is the focus of the fire of the heart that enables you to do that. If you had no [[threefold flame]], if you had no center, living way out here on the surface, way out on Pluto somewhere, you are not going to magnetize the components of your soul because you have nothing with which to magnetize it. The only thing that can magnetize your soul is your solar center, your sun center.

The real difference between using a psychologist and the ascended masters and their path and the [[decree]]s is that there is no transmutation through simple psychotherapy. You may feel better and feel you have achieved results but you may not have balanced the karma of the situation. You have only come to an understanding and a resolution at the human level. Now you have to use the fire to consume the record. You may not have actually achieved something that is permanent because the only permanent way to retrieve the soul is through the bonding of the soul to your Holy Christ Self.

Soul retrieval is the work of a lifetime. Depending where you are on your spiritual path at any particular time, certain elements of your soul can be retrieved and brought back to you, and they can become a permanent part of your soul. But this requires a substance whereby that which is retrieved becomes a part now of the soul that is with you and remains.

There are centrifugal and centripetal forces in the universe. One flings us outward and one flings us inward. And so the forces that are going inward to hold that soul must be more powerful than the pull on the soul to be scattered. And as long as we walk the earth in mortal bodies, we have to be vigilant in guarding the soul.

== Why the soul has become fragmented ==

[[El Morya]] has told us:

</blockquote>
On this first day of the year I ask you first and foremost to make your peace with yourself. For if you are not at peace with yourself, you will not be at peace with me and surely I will not be at peace with you. I shall come where your members are divided within and without, and I shall help you fuse the fragmented parts of the soul into one whole.

I will come, beloved. But I say, whether you have a difficult psychology or health problems or a challenging astrology, let it be understood that the members of your being must be in harmony with one another so that there is not a warring [between these members] whereby one organ does not work with another organ [et cetera]....

Protect your [[inner child]]. Call upon us as the [[three wise men]] to tend and nurture and protect your inner child; for, as you know, your inner child is your soul, who needs your loving attention. And if you hear many children speaking to you from within, know that these are fragments of your soul. And the fragments must become one voice—one voice, one soul immaculate. Only then shall that soul rise in wholeness as a totality of being.<ref>El Morya, {{POWref|38|8}}</ref>
</blockquote>

The soul becomes fragmented when people do not maintain peace, the sixth ray quality of Jesus Christ. If we don't have absolute peace in our being, then we cannot hold onto or magnetize these fragments. This is why years ago the masters have recommended that we are in therapy, that we read certain books, that we understand and bring to resolution and closure all kinds of things we have experienced in our lives.

o I thought that this was very profound because I was seeing like little tears of a, pieces of garments as these fragments of soul, little, little pieces. They look li, they looked somewhat black against the universe. And they're here and there and millions and billions of miles away or very close, as close as your lap where you're sitting right now.
And how did they get scattered? Because this core of the fire infolding itself, which pulls the entire universe to yourself, was not there. The power wasn't there, the concentration, the devotion, the love, the communion with God all building this fiery sun. And so there was not sufficient gravity or attraction or whatever you want to call it to pull them back.
And furthermore, the spaces between the fa, fragments of the soul that El Morya showed me are not empty spaces but they're, they're like solid and they're filled with the, the Martian energies, with the substances in our electronic belt, with the records. And so the fragments can't come near because we haven't come to resolution and we haven't entered into transmutation.

So any soul retrieval that we are going to do must be done through the ascended masters, because transmutation is involved. The only place that the returning of the fragments of the soul should take place is in the forcefield of the ascended masters, the forcefield of absolute protection.

== Further teachings on Soul Retrieval ==

[[Archangel Michael]] has explained the need for the ritual of Soul Retrieval:

<blockquote>
Inevitably, during the centuries of human history, you have engaged in many wars and battles. In the course of these confrontations, you have literally lost fragments of your soul, the result being that today your soul is not whole, and therefore she must be restored to wholeness through the exercise of the spoken Word.

By invoking the [[Great Central Sun Magnet]], the Messenger magnetizes back to the lawful owner soul particles that have been lost or stolen. However, it then becomes the soul’s responsibility to hold onto the retrieved particles. But if for want of sufficient momentum of the sacred fire, the soul does not have the necessary magnetism to hold the particles in her orbit, she may lose the very particles she was able to salvage through the Messenger’s invoking the Great Central Sun Magnet.

By giving dynamic violet-flame decrees to [[Saint Germain]] and protection decrees to me and my hosts, you as an earnest devotee of the [[Holy Spirit]] can in time build a sufficient momentum of the Great Central Sun Magnet within your heart chakra to overcome your present lack.

In order to accomplish this, you would do well to religiously attend soul-retrieval sessions conducted by the Messenger at quarterly conferences and on special occasions. You can attend these sessions either in person at King Arthur’s Court or by phone patch from anywhere in the world. By so doing, you would benefit greatly.

In the interim between soul-retrieval sessions, you can work on gathering back to the fold the sheep (i.e., the soul fragments of your being) that have strayed or been stolen from your pasture by wolves in sheep’s clothing. By this means, the soul may ultimately be strengthened so that she may be restored to wholeness in preparation for her reunion with her Bridegroom.<ref>Archangel Michael, “The Sword of the Spirit,” {{POWref|39|38|, September 22, 1996}}</ref>
</blockquote>

[[Saint Germain]] explains the need to guard the elements of the soul:

<blockquote>
The piracy of genes and soul fragments is a reality when you are engaged in the warfare of the Spirit. For this reason, the Messenger regularly conducts rituals of soul retrieval.

Her assignment from the Brotherhood is to demagnetize negative elements that have attached themselves to soul fragments and genetic components of the human spirit and to give them a positive spin so that their lawful owners may once again claim them. By giving calls to [[Alpha and Omega]] in the Great Central Sun Magnet, every chela can magnetize his soul fragments and genetic components back to the seat-of-the-soul chakra, the [[heart chakra]] and the [[secret chamber of the heart]].>

But as an unascended chela, you are always in danger of losing these elements of your being through anger, argumentation or arrogance. You must therefore be the watchman on the wall of your own soul consciousness. Unless you do this assiduously, [[fallen angel]]s and demons will have entrée into the sanctuary of your heart and your seat-of-the-soul chakra and they will be able to steal the crumbs of light from the Master’s table.<ref>Saint Germain, “Dedicate This One Life to Me and I Will Plead for Your Ascension Before the Lords of Karma,” {{POWref|39|26|, June 30, 1996}}</ref>
</blockquote>

[[Purity and Astrea]] speak of the importance of this ritual:

<blockquote>
Your hearts in the beginning, when you were created out of the white fire ovoid of God, had the charge of the Great Central Sun Magnet. Yet in tumbling down the octaves and landing where you have landed in this band of the physical octave, it has come to pass, because of your descent and because of having spent that light, that you no longer have conjoined to your heart chakra or threefold flame the elements of the Great Central Sun Magnet. This is why we have spoken and said we call our messenger to perform for you the ritual of soul retrieval. And we shall call her again and again.

As you prepare for the next ritual of soul retrieval, so take note, beloved, that it is the strengthening of your heart that must be our assignment to you. To strengthen the heart, one must first balance the threefold flame of the heart, for the heart flame cannot increase if it is out of balance....

Soul retrieval also involves the retrieving of the misqualified energies of the three plumes of the threefold flame and the white sphere of the Mother. Where you have misqualified, you have been the losers. Where you have correctly qualified, you have had gain. But in the aggregate today the percentages are high that most individuals, even those on the Path, have not developed the heart sufficiently to be able to call it a magnet heart (for want of another term). Thus it takes the Great Central Sun Magnet to magnetize back to you the fragments of the soul. And many of you have seen how those fragments have come home in the last twenty-four hours....

This soul-retrieval ritual will be performed again and again for you by the messenger. The reason we cannot give to you this ritual without the messenger is because we must have one—and it is the messenger whom we have raised up who is that one—who holds in her heart and has in her heart a sufficiency of elements of the Great Central Sun Magnet, as well as our overshadowing of her with that Magnet, in order that she might give the invocations for the elements of the soul to return. Once they have returned, beloved, then you must work daily with the exercises of the threefold flame. For by that flame and only that flame will you retain that which you have lost.

Thus, we have spoken and stated that the messenger will perform this ritual again and again, certainly at every quarterly conference from now on. In the interim you have approximately the twelve-week periods to work on yourself, to prepare yourself for the next ritual. I counsel you to make this a priority, for it is the priority of your very life. It is the priority of yourself and your twin flame. It is the priority that is given to you and spoken through us today from the heart of [[Alpha and Omega]].<ref>Purity and Astrea, “Seek the Daily Balancing of the Threefold Flame,” {{POWref|46|49|, December 7, 2003}}</ref>

Das spirituell-materielle Universum, einschließlich einer scheinbar endlosen Kette von Galaxien, Sternensystemen sowie bekannten und unbekannten Welten, deren Zentrum oder weißer Feuerkern als die [[Special:MyLanguage/Great Central Sun|Große Zentralsonne]] bezeichnet wird. Das Kosmische Ei besitzt sowohl ein spirituelles als auch ein materielles Zentrum. Obwohl wir das Kosmische Ei vom Standpunkt unserer physischen Sinne und Perspektive aus entdecken und beobachten können, können alle Dimensionen des [[Special:MyLanguage/Spirit|Geistes]] ebenso innerhalb des Kosmischen Eies erkannt und erfahren werden. Denn der Gott, der das Kosmische Ei erschuf und es in Seiner hohlen Hand hält, ist auch die Gottesflamme, die sich Stunde um Stunde in Seinen ganz eigenen Söhnen und Töchtern ausdehnt.

Das Kosmische Ei repräsentiert die Grenzen der Wohnstätte des Menschen in diesem kosmischen Zyklus. Doch so wie Gott überall im gesamten Kosmischen Ei und darüber hinaus gegenwärtig ist, so erwachen wir durch Seinen Geist in uns täglich zu neuen Dimensionen des Seins – seelenbefriedigt in Übereinstimmung mit Seinem Ebenbild.


== Diagramm des Kosmischen Eies ==

Das Diagramm des [[Special:MyLanguage/Macrocosm|Makrokosmos]] veranschaulicht das Zusammenspiel der Ebenen von [[Special:MyLanguage/Spirit|Geist]] und [[Special:MyLanguage/Matter|Materie]] innerhalb des Kosmischen Eies. Der Eidotter (das Eigelb) repräsentiert die Ebenen von Geist-Form und Materie-Form, und das Eiweiß repräsentiert die Ebenen von formlosem Geist (Spirit-formless) und formloser Materie (Matter-formless).

Our universe is a cross section of this giant Ovoid, an externalization of Spirit suspended in Matter and Matter suspended in Spirit. Universes without number revolve around the [[Great Hub]] of Life interpenetrating one another, each within another dimension—each a slice, a verse, of the '''Great Central Sun Galaxy'''.

This galaxy is the all and everything of the Cosmic Egg, the entire contents thereof—yolk and white put together as spheres within spheres. Surrounding the Hub are the three great Causal Bodies: the Great Central Sun and the Great Causal Body forming the yolk and the Great Central Sun Galaxy forming the white, their relationship to one another being that of the ratio of the golden mean.

Thus the Cosmic Egg is composed of the Trinity in actualization of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Great Central Sun (the Pink Causal Body) is the focus of the Father; the Great Causal Body (the Yellow Causal Body) is the focus of the Son, the eternal Logos; and the Great Central Sun Galaxy (the Blue Causal Body), embracing all three, is the focus of the [[Holy Spirit]].

[[File:100027M-medres.jpg|thumb|<translate> Krishna</translate>]]

<translate>

'''Krishna''' is a divine being, an incarnation of the Godhead, an [[avatar]], and he is one of the most celebrated Indian heroes of all time. He has captured the imagination and devotion of Hindus everywhere in his many forms—whether as a frolicking, mischievous child, as the lover of shepherdesses, or as the friend and wise counsellor of the mighty warrior Arjuna.


Krishna is known as the eighth incarnation of [[Vishnu]], the Second Person of the Hindu Triad. His story is told in the [[Bhagavad Gita]], the most popular religious work of India, composed between the fifth and second centuries B.C. and part of the great Indian epic, the Mahabharata.


When we send devotion to Krishna through mantra and sacred song, we open a highway of our love to the heart of Krishna, and he opens the other half of the highway. He sends back our devotion multiplied manyfold by his.

== The historical Krishna == 


Some scholars see Krishna as an historical figure who lived about 650 B.C. Sanskrit scholar David Frawley believes that astronomical references in Hindu texts as well as recent archaeological findings reveal that Krishna lived at least as early as 1400 B.C. Hindu tradition says Krishna was born in 3102 B.C., the beginning of the present age, known as the age of the [[Kali Yuga]]—the Age of Strife.


The name ''Krishna'' is derived from the Sanskrit word meaning “black” or “dark blue.” He is often depicted as having dark skin—sometimes blue, sometimes blue-black or black.


Information about Krishna comes to us from various Hindu scriptures. They relate detailed episodes from Krishna’s life, including his early days as a mischievous child and amorous youth. Most scholars believe that these stories are an embellishment of the historical Krishna. Here are some of the highlights that are recounted.

== Childhood and Youth == 


Krishna was born in a region south of Delhi, India. Before his birth a voice from heaven prophesies that he will destroy his uncle, the wicked king Kamsa. Immediately after Krishna’s birth his father, through divine intervention, smuggles the newborn to safety to live among the cowherds.


Kamsa attempts to kill Krishna by sending his henchmen and demons to slaughter all the male babies. But the baby Krishna miraculously slays these demons, one by one. As a child, Krishna is brought up by Nanda, the leader of the cowherds, and his wife Yasóda.


The Sanskrit word for cowherds is ''gopas''. Female cowherds are ''gopis''. Gopala and Govinda are names that refer to Krishna as a young cowherd. Gopala means “protector of the cows” and Govinda means “one who is pleasing to the cows and the senses.” What we realize is that this is symbolical of Krishna being the protector of all souls and also the one who quickens and activates our spiritual senses.


Author David R. Kinsley paints the picture of the child Krishna:


<blockquote>Krishna’s life suggests the freedom of the divine. As a child, Krishna behaves with utter spontaneity. He scrambles around the cowherd village with his elder brother, plays with his own shadow, rolls in the dust, dances to make his bangles jingle, eats dirt despite his mother’s warning against it, laughs to himself or sits quietly absorbed in his own imaginings. Krishna passes his time in play, following every whim, acting without calculation, delighting the entire cowherd settlement.<ref>Kinsley, ''The Sword and the Flute: Kālī and Kṛṣṇa, Dark Visions of the Terrible and the Sublime in Hindu Mythology'' (University of California Press, 1975), p. 13.</ref></blockquote>


As a boy, Krishna was fond of mischievous pranks such as stealing butter. This is the story of Krishna’s butter thefts based on A. S. P. Ayyar’s account in his book ''Sri Krishna, The Darling of Humanity.''


<blockquote>
[Krishna] had a host of friends among the cowherds of Nanda’s clan. The gopis gave Krishna newly prepared butter, but it was never enough for him and his friends. So he used to go into their houses with his friends and take as much butter as he wanted and distribute it.


Many were the complaints made to his mother. She chastised him and asked him to take as much butter as he liked from his own house, but she would not give him enough for all his friends. But Krishna told his mother that the butter he took stealthily from the other houses tasted sweeter!


Sometimes, the gopis caught him in the act of taking the butter, and they struck him with the churning-rods. He received the blows without wincing. This made the tender-hearted gopis atone for their cruelty by giving him as much butter as he wanted for himself and his friends. Krishna came to be known as “Fresh Butter Krishna.”


The butter left after Krishna helped himself had a finer flavor and was much in request among the buyers. They readily paid twice the price and fought for it. The gopis began to complain if Krishna did not go to their houses and help himself. Many gopis watched with great pleasure from behind a door as Krishna and his friends helped themselves to the butter.<ref>A. S. P. Ayyer, ''Sri Krishna, The Darling of Humanity'' (Madras Law Journal Office, 1952), pp. 9-10.</ref>
</blockquote>


Ayyar says the symbology of this is that devotees love to watch their offerings being accepted by the Lord.


Butter is significant to Hindus. Clarified butter, called ''ghrita'' or ''ghee'', is the fuel in butter lamps used in Hindu religious services. To Hindus ghee symbolizes illumination and mental clarity. David Frawley points out that the word ''Christ'', from the Greek word ''Christos'' (meaning anointed one), is related by derivation to the Sanskrit word ''ghrita''.<ref>Frawley, ''Gods, Sages and Kings'', p. 222.</ref> And so the interplay between the precious child Krishna and his friends represents the relationship between God and the soul on the path of [[bhakti yoga]], the path of union with God through love. Kinsley explains the comparison:


<blockquote>
As an infant and a child, Krishna is approachable. Particularly as an infant (but also as an adolescent and lover) Krishna is to be doted upon and coddled. He is to be approached with intimacy with which a parent approaches a child.


God, revealing himself as an infant, invites man to dispense with formality and undue respect and come to him openly, delighting in him intimately. The adorable, beautiful babe, so beloved by the entire Hindu tradition, does not demand servitude, pomp and praise when he is approached. His simplicity, charm, and infant spontaneity invite an intimate, parental response.<ref>Kinsley, p. 18.</ref>
</blockquote>


Throughout Krishna’s infancy and youth the wicked Kamsa sends numerous demons to kill Krishna. But Krishna dispatches them all with playful aplomb. One of Krishna’s most famous encounters is his fight with the many-headed serpent Kaliya. Kinsley relates:


<blockquote>
Kaliya lives in a nearby stream and has poisoned its waters, causing the death of many cattle. Krishna arrives on the scene, surveys the situation, climbs into a tree and leaps into the poisonous waters, where he begins to bait the monster by swimming and playing there. The enraged Kaliya emerges from his lair beneath the waters and the battle begins.


Kaliya seems to get the upper hand at first, gripping Krishna in his coils. But Krishna is only humoring him. Freeing himself from Kaliya’s coils, he begins circling the demon until the serpent’s head begin to droop with exhaustion. Seeing his chance, Krishna jumps onto the heads of the serpent and begins to dance. By rhythmically stamping his feet Krishna tramples his enemy into submission.


Battered and bloody from Krishna’s dancing, Kaliya finally admits defeat and seeks refuge in Krishna’s mercy. Krishna, at the pleading of Kaliya’s wives, grants him his life but banishes him to an island in the ocean.... The mighty child Krishna is invincible.<ref>Kinsley, p. 22.</ref>

[[File:Krishna with flute.jpg|thumb|<translate> Krishna, playing his flute, with the gopis, ca. 1790—1800, Guler/Kangra region</translate>]]

<translate>
== Krishna and the gopis == 


As a youth, Krishna embodies joy, grace and the transcendent beauty that magnetizes all who behold him. He plays on his flute and the magic of its sound enchants the gopis. When the gopis hear the sound of his flute, they stop whatever they are doing and run to Krishna. The otherworldly sound of the flute even distracts the gods! Says Kinsley:


<blockquote>
The whole creation can concentrate on nothing but the sound of the flute.... Its sound puts an abrupt end to man’s mechanical, habitual activity as well as
to the predictable movements of nature.... The sound of Krishna’s flute is more than a melody. It is a summons. It calls souls back to their Lord.
<ref>Kingsley, pp. 39, 40, 33.</ref>
</blockquote>


The greatest love existed between Krishna and Radha, the most beautiful of the gopis. Radha is the embodiment of pure devotion and divine bliss. Krishna is everything to her. She is considered by some to be the incarnation of Lakshmi, the consort of Vishnu who vowed to be with him in all his incarnations.


Krishna’s love for the gopis and the gopis’ love for him are symbolic of the divine romance between God and the soul, the Guru and the chela. Just as the gopis pine for Krishna, so the soul pines for God.

== Later years == 


When Krishna becomes a young man, he and his brother return to the city and kill the wicked king Kamsa. Krishna then goes to the western coast of India and establishes a fortress city at Dwarka. As is the custom of the time, he has a large harem and sires many children.


At the outset of a great war both warring factions request Krishna’s aid. He lends his army to one side and serves as charioteer on the other side. Krishna is the charioteer of the great warrior Arjuna, his friend and disciple. On the eve of the battle Krishna instructs Arjuna about the four paths of union with God. The ''Bhagavad Gita'' recounts their dialogue.


After the war Krishna returns to Dwarka. One day the people of the city take to drinking and fighting. A kind of madness overtakes them and they slaughter each other. Krishna retreats to the forest. A huntsman mistakes him for a deer and shoots him in the heel, his only vulnerable point. Krishna dies from this wound.

== Krishna and Arjuna == 


''Bhagavad Gita'' means “Song of God.” It is written as a dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna. Krishna describes himself as “the Lord of all that breathes” and “the Lord who abides within the heart of all beings,” meaning one who is in union with God, one who has attained that union that is God. He says: “When goodness grows weak, when evil increases, my Spirit arises on earth. In every age I come back to deliver the holy, to destroy the sin of the sinner, to establish righteousness.”<ref>Swami Prabhavananda and Christopher Isherwood, trans., ''Bhagavad Gita'' (Hollywood, Calif.: Vedanta Press, 1987), p. 58; Juan Mascaro, trans., ''The Bhagavad Gita'' (New York: Penguin Books, 1962), pp. 61–62.</ref>


Arjuna is Krishna’s friend and disciple. The setting is the eve of a great battle to determine who will rule the kingdom. Krishna is to be the charioteer for Arjuna. Just before the battle begins, Arjuna falters because he will have to fight and kill his own kinsmen. Krishna explains to Arjuna that he must enter the battle because it is his dharma—his duty or his reason for being. He is a member of the warrior caste, and come what may, he must fight.


The traditional Hindu interpretation of the battle is twofold. First, the battle represents the struggle Arjuna must engage in to fulfill his [[dharma]] and to reclaim the kingdom. Second, the battle represents the war he must wage within himself between good and evil forces—his higher and lower natures.


Krishna teaches Arjuna about the four [[yoga]]s, or paths of union with God, and says that all the yogas should be practiced. The four yogas are knowledge ([[jnana yoga]]), meditation ([[raja yoga]]), work ([[karma yoga]]) and love and devotion ([[bhakti yoga]]). By self-knowledge, by meditation on the God within, by working the works of God to balance [[karma]] and increase good karma and by giving loving devotion, we fulfill the four paths of the [[four lower bodies]]—the memory body, the mental body, the desire body and the physical body.</translate>

== Christ and Krishna == 


In the Bhagavad Gita Arjuna says to Krishna, “If, O Lord, You think me able to behold it,... reveal to me your immutable Self.”<ref>Swami Nikhilanda, trans., ''The Bhagavad Gita'' (New York: Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Center, 1944), p. 254.</ref> When Krishna reveals his Divine Being to Arjuna, Arjuna beholds the whole universe inside of Krishna. Based on this passage many have concluded that Krishna is the supreme God and the supreme Lord. And of course he is. But just as Lord [[Jesus]] never declared himself to be the exclusive Son of God, so Lord Krishna never declared himself to be the exclusive supreme God or supreme Lord.


I believe that Lord Krishna unveiled himself to Arjuna as the incarnation of Vishnu, the Second Person of the Eastern and Western Trinity. Krishna revealed his Godhood so that all of us, as Arjunas, as disciples, could see the goal of our Divinity before us. Truly the one who has attained union with God is become that God. There is no separation.


I see Arjuna as the archetypal soul of each of us and Krishna as the charioteer of our soul. Krishna is one with your Higher Self right now, your [[Holy Christ Self]]. Visualize Lord Krishna in his incarnation as Vishnu (the Cosmic Christ) as your Higher Self. See him occupying the position of your Holy Christ Self on the [[Chart of Your Divine Self]] as the Mediator between your soul and your [[I AM Presence]], your charioteer for life. He will drive that chariot with you there at his side all the way back to the [[Central Sun]]. Lord Krishna can be thought of as your “Holy Krishna Self,” if you will. He can place his presence over each person.


The idea is God-identification. We have identified ourselves as humans. God descends into incarnation as an [[avatar]] and so we see what was our original blueprint, what were we intended to be, how far have we strayed from this incarnation of God. What do we see in ourselves that is no longer acceptable when we see ourselves in the mirror and look in that mirror and see Krishna, see Jesus Christ, see Gautama Buddha? We begin to see very quickly there are things we can simply do away with.


Lord Krishna can place his Presence one with your Holy Christ Self, multiplying himself a billion times a billion. Yet there is only one Krishna, one Universal Krishna consciousness. This is something you come to understand as you move into the vibration of Krishna. He is Universal God consciousness as well as Universal Christ consciousness. Does that mean that Jesus is not? Of course not. Does that mean that Gautama is not? Of course not.


This is the great mystery of the breaking of the bread at the Last Supper, that each crumb and each morsel is the equivalent of the whole loaf. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ embodies the Universal Christ consciousness. So does [[Lord Maitreya]], Lord Gautama, Lord [[Sanat Kumara]], the [[Dhyani Buddhas]]. Lord Krishna and Lord Jesus teach us the way of Godhood and Sonship respectively. And they—with untold numbers of the heavenly hosts who have realized Christ consciousness, Buddha consciousness and Krishna consciousness—are with us every hour to show us how we can become as they are: God-free beings fulfilling our respective roles as we are a part of the Mystical Body of God.


The ascended masters and all hosts who make up the heavenly hierarchy are surely not in competition with each other for “who is greatest in the kingdom.” They know that one drop in the ocean is as good as the whole ocean. And they know that God has broken the bread of Life so that each one in his own time may become the whole loaf—but never exclusively.

== Healing the inner child == 


Lord Krishna has pledged to help heal the [[inner child]] as we sing [[mantra]]s and [[bhajan]]s to him. His request is to visualize his Presence over you at the age when you experienced any emotional trauma, physical pain, mental pain, from this or a previous lifetime. You can ask for these events in your life to pass before your [[Third-eye chakra|third eye]] like slides moving across a screen or even a motion picture. Assess the age you were at the moment of the trauma. Then, visualize Lord Krishna at that age—six months old, six years old, twelve years old, fifty years old—and see him standing over you and over the entire situation.


If there are other figures in this scene through whom the pain has come, see the Presence of Lord Krishna around them also. Give the devotional mantra and song until you are pouring such love to Lord Krishna that he is taking your love, multiplying it through his heart, passing it back through you and transmuting that scene and that record. If you see Lord Krishna superimposed over every party to the problem, to the anger, to the burden, you can understand that you can affirm in your heart that there really is no Reality but God. Only God is Real, and God is placing his Presence over that situation through the personification of himself in Lord Krishna.

Etheric retreat

Focuses of the [[Great White Brotherhood]], chiefly on the [[etheric plane]], where the [[ascended master]]s preside. Retreats anchor one or more flames of the Godhead as well as the momentum of the masters’ service and attainment for the balance of light in the [[four lower bodies]] of a planet and its evolutions.


An etheric retreat is a place where an ascended master lives and receives [[chela]]s. It is also a mandala and a forcefield that is used by the [[solar hierarchies]] to release increments of energy to a planet and a people, light energy that needs to be stepped down by the ascended masters and their chelas for the distribution of that energy among mankind. The retreats of the Great White Brotherhood have been established on the planet almost since the birth of the planet.

== Functions of the retreats == 


Retreats serve many functions for the councils of the hierarchy ministering to the lifewaves of earth. Some retreats are open to unascended mankind, whose souls may journey to these focuses in their [[etheric body]] between their incarnations on earth and in their finer bodies (during sleep or [[samadhi]]).


Many of the masters’ retreats, including their [[mystery school]]s, were anchored in the physical plane during earth’s earlier [[golden age]]s and even after the [[Great Rebellion]] of the [[fallen angels]] and [[the Fall]]. In the face of desecration and destruction of their shrines, the masters withdrew their centers and their flames to the etheric plane, hence the term “retreat.”

== The retreats of the Elohim == 


The retreats of the [[Elohim]] are the most powerful on the planet because the Elohimic consciousness is such a vast cosmic awareness of God. The retreats of the Elohim in the body of the earth and the focuses of the flame therein are like the seven major [[chakras]] in the body of man. They are the key focuses for the seven rays upon the planetary body. Unascended lifestreams are seldom taken into the retreats of the Elohim, for these are kept as pure, vibrating electrodes to infuse the body of [[Virgo and Pelleur]] with life and to attune it with Cosmos.


Since the Elohim have a cosmic consciousness and a cosmic service throughout the galaxies and beyond the [[Great Central Sun]], they appoint representatives to be hierarchs and administrators of their retreats. Their retreats are like touchstones where they place their feet now and then and anchor their consciousness as they are in and out of cosmic service. Of course, the Elohim, as God himself, can place an [[Electronic Presence]] of their being in their retreats, a replica of themselves, the full blazing reality of their God consciousness focused there.

== Withdrawal of the mystery schools to the etheric retreats == 


After the Fall of man, the Great White Brotherhood sponsored mystery schools on [[Lemuria]] and [[Atlantis]], where the higher spiritual truths were taught to those who were willing to keep the disciplines of the adepts. The [[Sangha]] of the [[Buddha]], the [[Essene community]] at Qumran, and [[Pythagoras]]’ school at [[Crotona]] were among the more recent mystery schools. Other schools were located in the Himalayas, the Far East and Egypt, as well as in Europe and South America. One by one, these mystery schools were destroyed or disbanded.


Wherever these schools have been destroyed, the ascended masters who sponsored them withdrew their flames and sacred shrines to their retreats on the etheric plane. Here their disciples are trained between embodiments and in their finer bodies (during sleep or samadhi) in order that they might attain that Divine Self-knowledge which, until [[Saint Germain]] once again advanced it in this century, has not been available to mankind en masse in the physical plane for centuries.

== Locations of the retreats == 


The retreats, temples and focuses of the masters are scientifically located upon the planetary body at certain key points in the design of the mandala. Their positions are calculated for the greatest release of light to the evolutions evolving here. All of the retreats act as receiving and sending stations for the light released in all of the other retreats upon the planetary body as well as that sent from near and distant stars and from the [[flaming Yod]] in the [[Great Hub]].


The light emitted from the retreats bounces back and forth between them in magnetic waves. The result of the interaction of these waves of Light is the resonance of a cosmic tone, the sound of the great Amen, the [[AUM]], or the OM, which can be heard with the inner ear. This cosmic keynote bathes the earth, the nature kingdom and mankind in the vibratory action of the sacred Word of creation, which means literally “I AM” or “God is the great Amen.” By this we know that every man can become one with the vibration of the lost Word.

== The opening of the retreats == 


Following the ascension of the Messenger [[Mark L. Prophet]] on February 26, 1973, the children of God were given renewed opportunity from the [[Lords of Karma]] to balance their karma by attending classes at the retreats of the seven [[chohan]]s, the [[Maha Chohan]], and the [[World Teacher]]s.


On January 1, 1986, [[Gautama Buddha]] and the Lords of Karma granted a petition of the lords of the seven rays to open [[universities of the Spirit]] in their etheric retreats for tens of thousands of students to systematically pursue the path of self-mastery on the seven rays. Traveling in their finer bodies during sleep, students spend fourteen days at each of the retreats of the chohans and the Maha Chohan.

<translate>

'''Kuan Yin''' is revered in Buddhism as the compassionate Saviouress, the Bodhisattva of Mercy. Beloved as a mother figure and divine mediatrix who is close to the daily affairs of her devotees, Kuan Yin’s role as Buddhist Madonna has been compared to that of [[Mother Mary|Mary the mother of Jesus]] in the West. Throughout the Far East, devotees seek her guidance and succor in every area of life. Altars dedicated to Kuan Yin can be found in temples, homes and wayside grottoes.


The name ''Kuan Shih Yin'', as she is often called, means “the one who regards, looks on, or hears the sounds of the world.” According to legend, Kuan Yin was about to enter heaven but paused on the threshold as the cries of the world reached her ears.


Kuan Yin is revered as protectress of women, sailors, merchants, craftsmen, those under criminal prosecution and those desiring progeny. There is an implicit trust in Kuan Yin’s saving grace and healing powers. Many believe that even the simple recitation of her name will bring her instantly to the scene. ''[[Kuan Yin’s Crystal Rosary]]'' contains her mantras and is a powerful means of invoking her intercession.


Today Kuan Yin is worshiped by Taoists as well as Mahayana Buddhists—especially in Taiwan, Japan, Korea and once again in her homeland of China, where the practice of Buddhism had been suppressed by the Communists during the Cultural Revolution (1966–69).

<translate>
== Traditions in the East == 


For centuries, Kuan Yin has epitomized the great ideal of Mahayana Buddhism in her role as [[bodhisattva]]—literally “a being of bodhi, or enlightenment,” who is destined to become a [[Buddha]] but has foregone the bliss of [[nirvana]] with a vow to save all children of God. Kuan Yin has taken the bodhisattva vow to work with the evolutions of this planet and this solar system to show them the way of the teachings of the ascended masters.


Kuan Yin was worshiped in China before the advent of Buddhism and thereafter adopted by Buddhists as an incarnation of [[Avalokitesvara]] (Padmapani). Devotees invoke the bodhisattva’s power and merciful intercession with the mantra ''[[Om mani padme hum|Om Mani Padme Hum]]''—“Hail to the jewel in the lotus!” or, as it has also been interpreted, “Hail to Avalokitesvara, who is the jewel in the heart of the lotus of the devotee’s heart!”


According to legend, Avalokitesvara was born from a ray of white light that [[Amitabha]], the Buddha of Boundless Light, emitted from his right eye as he was lost in ecstasy. Thus Avalokitesvara, or Kuan Yin, is regarded as the “reflex” of Amitabha—a further emanation or embodiment of ''maha karuna'' (great compassion), the quality that Amitabha embodies. Devotees believe that Kuan Yin, as the merciful redemptress, expresses Amitabha’s compassion in a more direct and personal way and that prayers to her are answered more quickly.

This image also represents Kuan Yin’s mastery of the water element, in the same way that Mother Mary’s mastery of the water element is depicted in images of her with the moon beneath her feet.</translate>]]

<translate>

In the [[Pure Land]] sect of Buddhism, Kuan Yin forms part of a ruling triad that is often depicted in temples and is a popular theme in Buddhist art. In the center is the Buddha of Boundless Light, Amitabha (Chinese, A-mi-t’o Fo; Japanese, Amida). To his right is the bodhisattva of strength or power, Mahasthamaprapta, and to his left is Kuan Yin, personifying his endless mercy.


In Buddhist theology Kuan Yin is sometimes depicted as the captain of the “Bark of Salvation,” guiding souls to Amitabha's Western Paradise, or Pure Land—the land of bliss where souls may be reborn to receive continued instruction toward the goal of enlightenment and perfection. The journey to Pure Land is frequently represented in woodcuts showing boats full of Amitabha’s followers under Kuan Yin’s captainship.


One of Kuan Yin’s principal emblems is the willow branch. According to Buddhist belief, she uses the willow branch to drive away illness and to sprinkle the nectar of wisdom and compassion upon all who invoke her assistance. In some Asian traditions prayers to cure disease were given while stroking the afflicted person with a willow branch.


Kuan Yin is considered to be the bestower of children, and so she is often depicted with an infant. In [[Taiwan]] there is also a legend that in one of her embodiments she was a mother and therefore is shown with her own child.


Kuan Yin is also often depicted standing on a dragon. The dragon for the Chinese people represents China and their divine lineage. It is also a symbol of the entire Spirit of the [[Great White Brotherhood]]. In its antithesis, the dragon is seen in the [[Book of Revelation]] giving power to the beasts. So a dragon is a thoughtform of a great hierarchy—whether embodying the forces of Light or the forces of Darkness.


In Chinese lore the dragon and the [[phoenix]] bird together represent the yang and yin of the whirling T’ai Chi. So the image of Kuan Yin riding a dragon shows her having dominion over that dragon in the sense of being the master of it.

[[File:The Tiger Carries Off Miao Shan.jpg|thumb|upright|alt=Painting in Chinese style of Miao Shan on the back of a tiger|<translate> Miao Shan being carried off by a tiger</translate>]]

<translate>

It is widely believed that Kuan Yin took embodiment as the third daughter of Miao Chuang Wang, identified with the Chou dynasty, a ruler of a northern Chinese kingdom in the sixth century B.C. The king had seized his throne by force of arms, and he desperately desired a male heir to succeed him. Instead he had three daughters. The youngest, Miao Shan, was a devout child who “scrupulously observed all of the tenets of the Buddhist doctrines. Virtuous living seemed, indeed, to be to her a second nature.”<ref>Edward T. C. Werner, ''Myths and Legends of China'' (London: Harrap, 1922), chapter X. The following account is adapted from that source.</ref>


She recognized the impermanence of riches and glory and desired nothing more than “a peaceful retreat on a lone mountain.” She told her sisters that “If some day I can reach a high degree of goodness.... I will rescue my father and mother, and bring them to Heaven; I will save the miserable and afflicted on earth; I will convert the spirits which do evil, and cause them to do good.”


Miao Shan’s father determined to find a husband for her who would be capable of ruling the kingdom. The king explained his plans and told her that all his hopes rested on her. Miao Shan said that she did not wish to marry because she desired to attain perfection and Buddhahood.


The king was angry. “Has anyone known the daughter of a king to become a nun?” he asked. Then he demanded that she marry an academician or a military man at once. Recognizing that she could not openly disobey her father’s orders, Miao Shan said that she would immediately marry a physician since she could then still become a Buddha. Outraged, the king ordered his officer to take her to the Queen’s garden “and let her perish there of cold.”


Miao Shan retired to the garden glad to exchange the pleasures of the palace for the sweetness of solitude. Her parents, sisters and the ladies of the court tried in vain to dissuade Miao Shan from her purpose. Instead she asked her father’s permission to live at the Nunnery of the White Bird. The king consented but sent strict orders to the nunnery that the nuns should do all in their power to persuade Miao Shan to leave.


The nuns tried but failed. They then decided to put Miao Shan in charge of the kitchen where, if she failed, they could dismiss her. Miao Shan so joyously agreed that she touched the heart of the Master of Heaven who ordered the spirits of heaven to assist her in her duties.


The Superior of the nunnery then asked the King to recall his daughter. The king sent five thousand soldiers to surround the Nunnery of the White Bird and burn it to the ground along with the nuns. The nuns invoked the aid of Heaven but said to Miao Shan: “It is you who have brought upon us this terrible disaster.”


Miao Shan agreed that it was so. She knelt and prayed to Heaven and then pricked the roof of her mouth with her bamboo hairpin and spat the flowing blood toward heaven. Great clouds immediately gathered and showers put out the fire threatening the nunnery. The nuns threw themselves on their knees and thanked Miao Shan for saving their lives.


The king, informed of this miracle, was enraged and ordered the chief of the guard to immediately behead Miao Shan. As the execution was to begin, the sky became overcast, but a bright light surrounded Miao Shan. When the executioner’s sword fell upon her neck, it broke. A spear thrust at her fell to pieces.


The king ordered that she be strangled with a silken cord. But a tiger leaped into the execution grounds, dispersed the executioners, put the inanimate body of Miao Shan on his back and disappeared into the pine forest.

[[File:Statue of Guanyin, Mt Putuo, China.jpg|thumb|left|alt=caption|<translate> Thirty-three meter statue of Kuan Yin on Mount P’u-t’o, the sacred island-mountain that became a center of devotion to Kuan Yin</translate>]]

<translate>

Miao Shan’s soul, which was not hurt, was taken to the lower world, hell. She prayed and hell was transformed into a paradise. She was sent back to earth to resume her life there. Carried on a lotus flower to the island of P’u-t’o Shan—the sacred island-mountain in the Chusan Archipelago off the coast of Chekiang—she lived for nine years healing the diseased and saving mariners from shipwreck.


It is said that once, when word was brought to her that her father had fallen ill, she cut the flesh from her arms and used it as a medicine that saved his life. In gratitude, he ordered that a statue be erected in her honor, commissioning the artist to depict her with “completely formed arms and eyes.” The artist misunderstood, however, and to this day Kuan Yin is sometimes shown with a “thousand arms and a thousand eyes,” thereby able to see and assist the masses of her people.


During the twelfth century Buddhist monks settled on P’u-t’o Shan, and devotion to Kuan Yin spread throughout northern China. This picturesque island became the chief center of worship of the compassionate Saviouress; crowds of pilgrims would journey from the remotest places in China and even from Manchuria, Mongolia and Tibet to attend stately services there. At one time there were more than a hundred temples on the island and over one thousand monks. The lore surrounding P’u-t’o island recounts numerous appearances and miracles performed by Kuan Yin, who, it is believed, reveals herself to the faithful in a certain cave on the island.

== Traditions in Taiwan == 


It is believed that Kuan Yin frequently appears in the sky or on the waves to save those who call upon her when in danger. Personal stories can be heard in Taiwan, for instance, from those who report that during World War II when the United States bombed the Japanese occupied Taiwan, she appeared in the sky as a young maiden, catching the bombs and covering them with her white garments so they would not explode.


Thus altars dedicated to the Goddess of Mercy are found everywhere—shops, restaurants, even taxicab dashboards. In the home she is worshiped with the traditional “pai pai,” a prayer ritual using incense, as well as the use of prayer charts—sheets of paper designed with pictures of Kuan Yin, lotus flowers, or pagodas and outlined with hundreds of little circles. With each set of prayers recited or sutras read in a novena for a relative, friend, or oneself, another circle is filled in. This chart has been described as a “Ship of Salvation” whereby departed souls are saved from the dangers of hell and the faithful safely conveyed to Amitabha’s heaven. In addition to elaborate services with litanies and prayers, devotion to Kuan Yin is expressed in the popular literature of the people in poems and hymns of praise.


Devout followers of Kuan Yin may frequent local temples and make pilgrimages to larger temples on important occasions or when they are burdened with a special problem. The three yearly festivals held in her honor are on the nineteenth day of the second month (celebrated as her birthday), of the sixth month, and of the ninth month based on the Chinese lunar calendar.

== The bodhisattva ideal == 


Kuan Yin’s ministration is very real and as ancient as the hills. The vow taken by the bodhisattva to stand with humanity is a sacred calling. However, she cautions us against taking it ourselves unless we thoroughly understand the service of these dedicated ones:


<blockquote>
Being one with all life, we are aware of all life in its manifestation from the highest to the lowest. This is part of the bodhisattva ideal, which is a part of those who are standing with humanity. And there are quite a number upon this planet, although few compared to those who go their own way of riotous living. It is a very high and holy order, and I suggest that you think long and hard about this calling before you respond and say, I will do the same!”


For when aeons pass and men are not moved by the flame that you hold, remember that you might wish that you had chosen another easier or more gratifying way. As the centuries pass, the thousands of years and the cycles, and the same individuals whom you have nourished by the power of your heart flame are involved in the same involvements in the world, you find that you cry out to God and say, “O LORD, how long, how long will this wayward generation be in coming to the knowledge of their divinity and of the love of the sacred fire that we have held for so long?”<ref>Kuan Yin, “The Quality of Mercy for the Regeneration of the Youth of the World,” ''Pearls of Wisdom'', 1982, Book II, pp. ''120–21''.</ref>

== The mercy flame == 


Kuan Yin represents the qualities of mercy and compassion to the evolutions of earth. The mercy flame is the means whereby the Christ intercedes on behalf of those who have erred, who cannot bear the full brunt of the Law that demands swift recompense for each violation. The quality of mercy tempers the return of mankind’s own karma, staying the hand of justice until that time when individuals are able to stand, face and conquer their own human creation. Kuan Yin tells us that


<blockquote>... mercy is the quality of love that smoothens the rough places of life, that heals the sores of the [[etheric body]], that mends the cleavages of mind and feelings, that clears away the debris of sin and the sense of struggle before these manifest in the physical body as disease, decay, disintegration and death.<ref>Kuan Yin, “A People and a Teaching Whose Time Has Come,” September 18, 1976.</ref></blockquote>


“Mercy is the strongest power in the universe,” Kuan Yin says, for “it is the power of the will of God.... The power of mercy is the intensity of love that will dissolve all fear, all doubt, all recalcitrance and rebellion within the race.... The mercy of the Law is sometimes very stern, but it is always patient, always tolerant, and it sees the flame within the heart rising, rising, rising to meet the Christ.”<ref>Kuan Yin, “The Sword of Mercy,” October 10, 1969.</ref>


Kuan Yin reminds us, “When you feel the need of greater strength, of illumination, of greater purity and healing, remember that all of these qualities come to you from the heart of God by the power of the flame of mercy itself. For in forgiveness there comes renewed opportunity to fulfill the Law, and without forgiveness little progress can be made.”<ref>Kuan Yin, “Karma, Mercy, and the Law,” ''Pearls of Wisdom'', 1982, Book II, p. ''106''.</ref> Therefore, in order to reenter the walk with God, we need forgiveness.

== The need for forgiveness == 


When we invoke it, let us realize that our own [[Christ Self]] is our psychiatrist, our psychologist, our minister, our priest, our rabbi, our friend, the one to whom we should go daily to unburden ourselves, as the American Indians did. They made a circle around the camp fire at night and discussed the events of the day. And all that they didn’t like, they threw into the flames. It is the same principle that has been taught in every [[religion]] of the world. When we put it into the flame, we can go to bed at night in peace. Much insomnia is caused because we are not releasing our daily karma, our daily burdens; and therefore, we are not at peace with ourselves and with God.


We have a need for confession, a need to tell God what we have done that is not in keeping with his Law. Until we tell him about it and ask for his flame of forgiveness to pass through us, we have that sense of guilt, fear, shame, and above all a separation from him. Today this is manifest in all kinds of mental and emotional diseases, split personalities, hatred of father and mother, hatred of children, and many other problems to which modern society has fallen prey. The path back to the guru, the Inner Christ, is calling upon the [[law of forgiveness]].


Forgiveness is something we need to invoke not only for ourselves; we need to invoke it for every part of life—all who have ever wronged us, all whom we have wronged. [[Saint Germain]] teaches us that when we invoke forgiveness, it must be by a very intense love in our heart. We need to let each other know that we forgive and that we are asking for forgiveness. And it’s a point of humility to say, “I’ve done wrong, and I ask you and God to forgive me.”


When we invoke the law of forgiveness, it bursts like fireworks in the aura as violet, purple and pink, dissolving unpleasant conditions in our world. And it begins to intensify until great spheres of energy are going forth from our heart and inundating the world. You may visualize a loved one, a child, a self-styled enemy, a political figure; you may visualize an entire city, the government, the whole nation or the planet within this brilliant sphere of mercy’s flame, becoming the recipient of waves and waves of this wine of forgiveness.


Forgiveness is a law, and by this law, our sins are set aside to give us the opportunity to develop the Christ consciousness. “Training in the law of forgiveness is necessary,” Kuan Yin instructs us, “for it is indeed the foundation of the Aquarian age.... Forgiveness is not the balancing of karma; it is the setting aside of karma whereby you are given the freedom in renewed creativity to conquer, to go forth, to make things right without that heavy burden, that weight of sin. And when you come to the place where you have further attainment, then, according to the law of forgiveness, that karma that was set aside is returned to you. And in your heightened state of consciousness in the plane of self-mastery, you are quickly able to place in the flame that substance for [[transmutation]] and to pursue your high calling.”<ref>Kuan Yin, “A Mother’s-Eye View of the World,” ''Pearls of Wisdom'', 1982, Book II, p. ''87''.</ref>


There is a difference between the forgiveness of sins and their transmutation. Someone may steal your purse and later tell you that he is sorry he took it. You may forgive him, but the matter is not closed, karmically speaking, until he returns that purse to you with every penny intact or makes whatever restitution is necessary. Forgiveness is not the balancing of karma; it is the setting aside of karma whereby you are given the freedom to make things right without that heavy burden of sin.


The foundation of the path of the abundant life or of science is forgiveness. It is the resolution of harmony between every part of God. It is an intense love action of the freedom flame. The energies of the [[violet flame]], the energies of God, are always pulsating, always moving, and they are transmuting the records of the subconscious. Forgiveness is the fulfillment of the law in Isaiah, “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”<ref>Isa. 1:18.</ref>

<translate>
== The need to forgive == 


If you expect forgiveness, then you must be ready to forgive seventy times seven, as the Master [[Jesus]] taught. “In small ways and in great ways, mankind are tested,” Kuan Yin says, “And the bigotry that remains in the consciousness of some is also a lack of forgiveness. Those who cannot forgive their fellowmen because they do not think or worship as they do—these have the hardness of heart that encases the flame of love and also prevents the flow of wisdom.”<ref>Kuan Yin, “Mercy: The Fire that Tries Every Man’s Works,” ''Pearls of Wisdom'', 1982, Book II, p. ''95''.</ref>


The mercy of the law is like a two-way street. It is the signal that you send to God and the signal that he returns. A two-way street means the give-and-take with God. If you expect mercy from God, then you must give mercy to every part of life. The fulfillment of the law of mercy must be for the ultimate liberation of each and every soul. Thus, as we forgive life, life forgives us.


Time and time again we have all heard the cliché, “Let bygones be bygones. Forgive and forget!” This is so true, because if you can still resurrect the memory of a wrong that has been done to you, then you have not truly forgiven. In order to forgive, the record and the memory must be dissolved from your consciousness. Kuan Yin tells us that if this is not the case, not only have you not truly forgiven, but “you have hardened your heart. You have stored the record as a squirrel with his nuts deep within the subconscious. Deep in the etheric plane, you have stored the record of that wrong. You have not released it into the flame. You have not been willing to let go and let God be free to express in those who have wronged you, in those whom you have wronged.”<ref>Kuan Yin, “A Mother’s-Eye View of the World,” ''Pearls of Wisdom'', 1982, Book II, p. ''87''.</ref>


One of the best ways to accomplish this complete “forgiving and forgetting” is by the use of the science of the spoken Word, accompanied by visualization, in a mantra for forgiveness written by [[El Morya]] in his “Heart, Head and Hand Decrees.”


::::I AM forgiveness acting here,
::::Casting out all doubt and fear,
::::Setting men forever free
::::With wings of cosmic victory.


::::I AM calling in full power
::::For forgiveness every hour;
::::To all life in every place
::::I flood forth forgiving grace.


As you give this prayer daily, you may wish to visualize the flames of mercy, which are a lovely pink-violet color, enfolding your being and removing the cause and core of many wrongs of the past. It is possible to experience a great sense of relief from burdens you may have been carrying for centuries as you call for forgiveness for your sins—even those of which you may not be aware in this embodiment—and then truly accept God’s grace and forgiveness that he is extending to you through the gift of his violet transmuting flame.


The color violet has many hues ranging from the orchid-pink of mercy’s flame, containing a greater saturation of the pink ray of God’s love, to the deep-purple flame that embodies more of the blue of the will of God. The purple flame has a greater electronic cleansing action, which, when used alternately with the healing green decrees, will effectively purify and heal the [[four lower bodies]], especially the [[etheric body]] (the memory body) of the records of the past that may be buried deep within the subconscious. To invoke this flame, take any violet-flame decree and substitute the word “purple” for “violet.” Oftentimes it is more difficult to penetrate to the etheric body than to any of the other lower bodies, and therefore the repetition of a mantra thirty-six times can be very effective in clearing old records of past momentums.

== Service on the Karmic Board == 


Kuan Yin reminds us of another facet of the flame of mercy as she says:


<blockquote>
For many of you I have pleaded before the [[Lords of Karma]] for the opportunity to embody, to be whole, to not have dealt to you in the physical the great karma of being maimed and blinded at birth that some of you have deserved. I have interceded with the flame of mercy on your behalf so that you could pursue, in the freedom of a sound mind and body, the light of the Law. Some who have been denied that mercy by the Lords of Karma are today in the institutions for the insane; for them it was meted that they should experience the agony of the absence of the presence of the Christ mind, that they might know what it is to defile that mind, that they might return in another life and appreciate the gift of reason, the gift to pursue the Holy Word Incarnate by the power of the Logos.


You do not realize how much has hung in the balance of your own life because mercy’s flame has been available to you. You have called and God has answered, and through my heart and my hands, mercy has flowed. I say this that you might also have the wisdom to understand that when mercy has been accorded for a time, you are expected to deliver the fruits of mercy, following the works of the LORD and the way of wisdom.<ref>Kuan Yin, “Mercy: The Fire that Tries Every Man’s Works,” ''Pearls of Wisdom'', 1982, Book II, p. ''96''.</ref>
</blockquote>


The Bodhisattva Kuan Yin is known as the '''Goddess of Mercy''' because she ensouls the God-qualities of mercy, compassion and forgiveness. She serves on the [[Karmic Board]] as the representative of the seventh ray (violet ray). She also held the office of [[chohan]] of the seventh ray for two thousand years until [[Saint Germain]] assumed that office in the late 1700s.

== Her retreat == 


{{main|Temple of Mercy}}


Kuan Yin ascended thousands of years ago and has taken the vow of the bodhisattva to serve planet Earth until all her evolutions are free. From her etheric retreat, the Temple of Mercy, over Peking (Beijing), China, she ministers to the souls of humanity, teaching them to balance their karma and fulfill their divine plan through loving service to life and application of the violet flame.


Kuan Yin’s flame is the color of orchids, the pink of divine love tempering the blue of the will of God. Her flower is a pink and violet lotus; the center, being pink, is as the mercy flame, becoming deeper and deeper violet on the periphery.

Keeper of the Scrolls

2026-05-18T05:01:34Z

PeterDuffy:

<languages />
<translate>

The '''Keeper of the Scrolls''' is a [[cosmic being]] in charge of the [[akashic records]] of this galaxy, the impressions of all that has ever transpired in the planes of Matter.


Of his service, the Keeper of the Scrolls has said:


<blockquote>
As Keeper of the Scrolls, I want to tell you that I have an awesome responsibility! Fortunately, the eternal Father has given me many able assistants [the recording angels]. I am here to tell you that there is not one jot nor one tittle of energy that passes through any of your lifestreams that is not recorded on the eternal scrolls. Fortunately, by the power of the sacred fire and the love of beloved [[Saint Germain]], there has been established a special qualification of the cosmic law whereby those who use the violet fire faithfully have an erasing action that takes place on the scrolls. And through the action of the flame, their karma is removed almost as soon as it is created.


I wish to point out to you, beloved ones, that each time there is a removal and [[transmutation]] of karma, a temporary record is made of it. If individuals will continually persist in repeating the same offenses against the great cosmic law over and over and over again, there comes a time when their actions are called to the attention of the [[Lords of Karma]]. Then, a specific activity of the Law is brought to bear upon the lifestream whereby all of their karma becomes accountable for balance. For it is absolutely necessary that mankind shall face their own human miscreations! This action is brought about in order to insure all lifestreams that they will not continually turn toward the left-handed path. It is a curbing action, designed to bring them back to the right hand of God and to the right hand of fellowship. It is wholly an action of divine love.<ref>The Keeper of the Scrolls, April 22, 1962.</ref>
</blockquote>


The Keeper of the Scrolls maintains an extensive library and research facilities so that at any time the record of a lifestream who may be petitioning for energy, opportunity or a dispensation from the Lords of Karma may be reviewed. Thus, one of the duties of his office is to provide the ascended masters and the [[Karmic Board]] with a resumé of the embodiments of an evolving soul about whom they may inquire.


At Easter 1962, in his first dictation, the Keeper of the Scrolls explained that he has


<blockquote>
... a dual parchment for each lifestream. One is magnetized of the sacred fire itself and carries the complete life pattern for the individual upon it. It is unalterable and irrevocable: it is the law of life for you! There is a smaller parchment, which is placed on top of the permanent one. It is much thinner and somewhat plastic in substance. It contains the complete engrammatic record of your life from the time you first came forth into individualized consciousness. Every mark of your being, every thought that you have entertained is recorded there.


I do not gaze upon these scrolls unless I am specifically requested to do so by the Karmic Board. This occurs when an assessment of a lifestream is desired in order to ascertain their opportunities or the need for temporarily lowering the karmic hammer upon them. When it therefore becomes necessary to make such an evaluation, I assure you that I immediately turn my eyes to the violet fire of transmutation in order to erase from my consciousness at once all that is written upon the scroll by the infamy of human consciousness.<ref>Ibid.</ref>
</blockquote>


When the soul comes before the Karmic Board to give an accounting at the close of each embodiment, the Keeper of the Scrolls or one of his representatives reads to the Lords of Karma the records taken from the [[Book of Life]]. The Keeper of the Scrolls also reads the records of those lifestreams who have come to the [[Last Judgment]] at the [[Court of the Sacred Fire]] on [[Sirius]], and in that position, he alone is permitted to stand opposite the throne of Almighty God.


When the time comes for the round of embodiments to be finished and the soul to make his [[ascension]], the Keeper of the Scrolls or one of his assistants reads the records of the lifestream in honor of his achievement. The Keeper of the Scrolls, acting with the individual’s own [[Christ Self]], then puts to the torch those records of mortal involvement that have bound the soul to the earth. Thereafter, he says, “in the eternal records of God there will remain only the record of eternal perfection; thus, in the future lifestream, a perfect individualized outpicturing of God-manifestation, man made in the image and likeness of God.”<ref>Ibid.</ref>

Kali

2026-05-18T04:57:18Z

[[File:100585M-medres.jpg|thumb|<translate> Statue of Kali</translate>]]

<translate>

'''Kali''' is the most fearsome of [[Shiva]]’s consorts. She is depicted as dark blue in color with fierce, blazing eyes. Kali is usually shown with a terrifying countenance, her tongue protruding, wearing a necklace of human skulls or heads and a belt of severed arms. In one hand she holds a [[sword]], in the others she may hold the severed head of a demon, a shield or a noose; her hands may also make the sign of fearlessness and offer blessings and benefits.


Kali’s dread appearance symbolizes her boundless power. Her destructiveness is seen as ultimately leading to transformation and salvation. The object of her wrath is not the outer form of man but his inner delusions. She shatters the delusions of the ego and destroys ignorance, even as she brings blessings to those who seek to know God. She destroys the form and substance of human creations (with the white-fire, blue-lightning and [[Ruby ray|ruby-ray]] action of her sword) that are not aligned with the will of her consort, thus liberating those who seek the knowledge of God. Kali is a symbol of destruction, yet she bestows blessings upon those who seek knowledge of God, and she is revered by her devotees as the Divine Mother.


Shiva is at times depicted dancing in cremation grounds, called burning ghats. The burning ground symbolizes the heart that is barren of desire, for all ego and illusion have been burnt away. Hence, the true ascetic seeks to make a burning ground of his heart so that Shiva might abide and dance there.


Like Shiva, Kali dances in the hearts of devotees who have purified themselves by renunciation. One famed Bengali hymn addressed to Kali says: “Because thou lovest the burning-ground, I have made a burning-ground of my heart—that thou, Dark One, haunter of the burning-ground, mayest dance thy eternal dance.”


The Indian state of Bengal is the land of the deepest devotion to Kali. [[Ramakrishna]] was one of her famous Bengali devotees. He saw Kali as a manifestation of the Highest Reality, one with Brahman. Paramahansa [[Yogananda]], the Bengali saint and yogi who came to live in America, also had profound experiences with Kali, who heard and answered his prayers.

<translate>


Kali has said:


<blockquote>
I am Kali! I move in the earth. I turn over the earth. I go under the earth. And I collect the heads of those who have counted themselves as the ego incarnate.


I come, I move; and at the end of the hour I shall know whom I shall go after for the binding of the substance of that human ego. Be prepared to be stripped of it, for this is my coming. If you accept me, then you will know the absence of self-importance and a tremendous energy of empowerment that you may or may not receive, but you may in turn look for it, seek it, find it, internalize it.


I am the manifestation of the feminine deity. I am dark; I am deep blue in color. I have no patience for those who move with the ego, but I come to those who would be the Divine Mother. I come to those who would receive Shiva. I come to those who have profound understanding of aeons upon aeons of their evolution, recognizing that this is an hour when the door may open and the door may receive you and the door may also be shut.


Therefore, remember Kali. Remember the dance of Kali. Remember the burning ghat. Remember the ashes. Remember that all that is not Real must go into the flame!


If you would have empowerment, seek it, find it. The vessel of empowerment is seated in the throne of grace, in the majesty of love. Love, then, is the key to Kali.


I am ferocious, for I go after my own. Understand this, beloved. When you see me moving about, know that I come to shatter, to shatter, to shatter again all of the old molds, that you might find that Spirit of the living God, that you might find Reality, that you might find all that is there that has been waiting for you.


Take the nature of your feminine divinity. Expand it until an entire cosmos knows you as Kali. Know me as that Kali, beloved. Know me as that fierce one. For I get things done. And I am the annihilator of all and anything that is not worthy of keeping....


I remember your beginnings and I remember what they were like. I shall see you in your endings, but I pray that your endings will be eternal beginnings forever. May you ever know and forever know those eternal beginnings, that you might move and move again and again.


Why is there a trinity of deities all female? It is because within ourselves we carry such a momentum of intensity of sacred fire. Therefore we are called and we respond to Lord Shiva. We respond because we understand the layers upon layers upon layers of the human consciousness that are consumed, and the records that follow suit.


I have a very good reason for being on earth, for the dead and the dying need my healing, my presence. And I set them straight, beloved. I am not a cruel Goddess, but I am a Goddess of no-nonsense. I am one who can take you to the stars. I am one who moves with [[El Morya]], the [[chohan]]s, the [[Elohim]]. I am feminine ray in manifestation. I am circle upon circle upon circle of divine Being. I know eternal life, as I have said, and I know death and hell.


Which one do you suppose is real? Which one, indeed, beloved. Is eternal life real? It is only real if you keep it real, compound it and make it real, that the incorruptible might realize that the corruptible must be slain.


Know this, beloved: there is no transformation unless you enter into transformation. And transformation is self-transcendence. And self-transcendence is entering into the pearl of great price, entering into the heart of God.<ref>Kali, “Love Is the Key to Kali,” {{POWref|45|4|, January 27, 2002}}</ref>

Kali’s [[bija mantra]] is ''Krim'' (pronounced ''kreem''). Another mantra honoring Kali is ''Om Krim Kalikaye Namaha''.

K-17

2026-05-18T04:51:36Z

PeterDuffy:

<languages />
<translate>

'''“K-17”''' is the code name for the ascended master who heads the '''Cosmic Secret Service'''. Its members are devotees of the [[All-Seeing Eye of God]]. They use their God-vision to warn the citizens of cosmos of threats to the security of the individualization of the God flame—threats to life and liberty, threats to the governments of the world and to the family as the basic unit of the Aquarian society.


Both K-17 and his sister were able to maintain life in their physical bodies for over three hundred years prior to their ascensions in the 1930s. Continuing their evolution and service to embodied mankind, they now maintain a villa in Paris and focuses in other parts of the world for the training of unascended chelas.


K-17 frequently visits the executive offices of the United States Government in a physical body and works closely with members of the FBI. He is equally familiar with the Kremlin, although they are not aware of his true identity.

== The work of the Cosmic Secret Service == 


The members of the Cosmic Secret Service are the guardians of the destiny of liberty in America and in every nation on earth. Because of the nature of their service, K-17 and his co-workers are very close to the physical octave. They often appear in physical form as the guardians of right action midst chaos and crisis as they assist members of the various security agencies of the nations of the world. Sometimes they actually work undercover, assuming the appearance of those whose ranks and organizations they would penetrate.


K-17 explains that his legions “have dedicated themselves to be those members of hierarchy who are the closest to the physical octave and its physical vibration.... It has been said of me that I make more physical appearances in the halls of governments and among the leaders of nations than any other ascended master. This is because of the dispensation of the legions in the Cosmic Secret Service to work so close to mankind that they actually feel tangibly our presence, and thus in times of danger their fears are allayed because they feel the presence of that heavenly help that is always forthcoming when there is dedication to the honor flame.”<ref>K-17, “Agents for the Cosmic Christ,” ''Pearls of Wisdom'', vol. 17, nos. 11 and 12, March 17 and 24, 1974.</ref>


K-17 employs a protective forcefield known as a “[[ring-pass-not]],” which is actually a ring of white fire that may be tinged with the colors of the rays according to the requirements of the hour. He draws this circle of living flame around individuals and places to protect and to seal the identity and forcefield of those dedicated in the service of the light.

== Working with K-17 == 


In 1973, K-17 described the work of his legions and how we can help them. He said:


<blockquote>My legions are agents of the [[Cosmic Christ]], and they are ever on the alert to search out those manifestations that are subversive against the Christ and the unfolding Buddhic consciousness in mankind.... My legions have computers recording all types of information on all types of people, for we must be ready, as we serve with the [[Keeper of the Scrolls]], to provide any ascended master at any time with what you would call a dossier on a lifestream.</blockquote>


The ascended masters use this information to determine a person’s aptitude for a specific job they would assign him.


<blockquote>
We do have openings in our ranks for those who would participate, by the use of the All-Seeing Eye of God with the help of [[Cyclopea]], in calling to the attention of hierarchy the persons and conditions, the organizations and happenings that are not in keeping with the Law and that are... a threat to the advancement of the light upon the planet. You know that God is omniscient. But God’s omniscience is manifest through his awareness of himself in man. God uses your hands and feet. He also uses your eyes. And thus it is not out of order for those in embodiment to call to the attention of hierarchy conditions that are in the making and on the drawing boards that require the seal of white fire—the ring-pass-not.


I desire also to acquaint you with the fact that in your service with the legions of K-17, you may don the [[cloak of invisibility]]. The cloak of invisibility is a forcefield that can actually render you invisible as you walk in dangerous passages and along the highways in the service of the Brotherhood. But I ask you to remember when you desire to be seen ... to request of your [[Christ Self]] that the cloak of invisibility be removed....


There are definitely times, as you will learn from my legions, when it is important to walk the earth incognito. When you realize you are in the camp of the enemy and you are there to gather information and to learn what you can learn for the sake of the light, then you remain in the folds of the cloak of invisibility and your very conscience and soul tell you that silence is golden, that discretion is the better part of valor.<ref>Ibid.</ref>
</blockquote>


There are many in embodiment who serve with the Cosmic Secret Service. This is because many ascended masters who serve on the councils of the [[Great White Brotherhood]] have not been embodied recently. Once they ascend, they are no longer in touch with the world situation and contemporary society in the same measure that they were when they were embodied on earth. While they possess the power of tuning in to mankind, they don’t spend any more of their energy than necessary to accomplish their service.


The unascended branch of the Cosmic Secret Service assembles information on specific cases, writes reports on world situations and offers opinions as to what should be done about certain matters. The reports of the various agents are put together and examined. The masters compare their own views with the suggestions of the unascended agents. In most cases, they pass on the results in concise form to the [[Karmic Board]]. The final actions of the Brotherhood are based, then, to some degree, on the intelligence gathered by those in embodiment.

== Lanello and K-17 == 


In 1977, [[Lanello]] revealed that he had worked with K-17 for many centuries prior to his ascension. These two masters continue to work together, and in 1996 they delivered a report on the world scene requesting that the students give calls to Cyclopea to expose and prevent attacks on the nation of America.


You can apply to be a part of the Cosmic Secret Service, and one way to do this is to write letters to Lanello and K-17. You can write to them nightly and burn the letter. The angels will take that letter to the [[Royal Teton Retreat]], where the [[Lords of Karma]] meet, and you can give all kinds of information that you may have awareness of that must be corrected. You can state what the problem is and then offer what part of your service and decrees or any other service you would contribute to the healing of that condition in society or what you may know about as a very major threat to the government of this nation or other nations.


K-17 and the legions in his command should be called upon to expose by the power of the All-Seeing Eye those forces and plots that would undermine [[Saint Germain]]’s plan for [[God-government]] in the [[golden age]]. His flame is teal green and white. He is often simply referred to as “Friend.”

'''Holy Justinius''' heads the [[Seraphim|seraphic order of angels]]. He is known as the '''Captain of Seraphic Bands'''. He serves with [[Serapis Bey]] and the legions of purity in his command. Justinius describes his order of angels as fiery beings who, with their bodies and their wings, form concentric rings around the [[Great Central Sun]]. They absorb the light of the spiritual Sun and deliver it to the far-flung evolutions of the universe, including earth, always trailing clouds of glory.

== Accounts of the seraphim == 


[[Saint Francis]] had a vision of a seraph when he received the stigmata. While in a state of ecstasy, he saw a seraph with six wings descend from heaven. The third book of Enoch records that the seraphim “radiate like the splendor of the throne of glory.”<ref>James H. Charlesworth, ed., ''The Old Testament Pseudepigrapha'', 2 vols. (Garden City, N.Y.: Doubleday and Company, 1983-85), 1:281.</ref>


The only biblical reference to the seraphim is in the Book of Isaiah. Isaiah had a vision of the Lord sitting on a throne, and above the Lord were seraphim, each with six wings. They cried out to each other: “Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.” One seraph placed a live coal from the altar upon Isaiah’s mouth and said, “Thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.”<ref>Isa. 6:1–7.</ref> This initiation prepared Isaiah for his mission.

== The service of the seraphim == 


You can call to the seraphim daily to purge you of all that is not a part of your God-reality. Ask them to prepare you for your mission in life. Then work with them daily until you have accomplished it. Consider them comrades, brothers, friends.


Seraphim are among the greatest healers. Justinius says, If you really want to get rid of your ailments, call upon the seraphim! “They may release the sacred fire, purge and purify, renew your bloodstream, give you eternal youth. You have but to call for it and to live the path of one who is ascending.”<ref>Justinius, “Called to God,” {{POWref|28|22|, June 2, 1985}}</ref> He has also urged us to “call upon the seraphim for the healing of loved ones and all throughout the world who suffer burdens of the heart, the mind and the soul. Likewise, call for the healing of the planet and all sentient life. For as you know, the planet itself is diseased. And its inhabitants suffer both conscious and unconscious pain in level upon level of being.”<ref>Justinius, “Appeal to the Seraphim: We Are Bigger than Life!” Part 2, {{POWref|40|11|, March 16, 1998}}</ref>


[[Sanat Kumara]], the Ancient of Days, told us that each one who has the [[threefold flame]] of God and the worship thereof would have four seraphim to command in [[Jesus]]’ name. He said, “Send them on your missions. They come to protect you and seal you from ... world karma that is descending.”<ref>Sanat Kumara, “The Warning,” {{POWref|31|4|, January 24, 1988}}</ref>


The seraphim are here to help you achieve the ultimate success of your reunion with God through the [[ascension]]. Justinius asks us to consider the goal of the ascension and “not to postpone it to another lifetime or some undefined future.”<ref>Justinius, “The Army of the Hosts of the Lord,” March 6, 1977.</ref> You are ascending as you give back to God in word and deed and in the flow of the Holy Spirit the energy he has given you. You achieve this flow magnificently by the science of the spoken Word.


The seraphim are as “flaming streaks of fire passing through the atmosphere,... like cosmic rays they can pass through the flesh form of man, through his thoughts and feelings.”<ref>{{DOA}}, p. 130.</ref> The seraphim are mighty angels who possess the quality of “cosmic penetrability,” the power to penetrate the densest human consciousness and to transmute that substance instantaneously. They can absorb toxins from our bodies, our minds and our emotions, and they leave behind a residue of purity.


Justinius explains the service of his seraphim: “We come to make you white and clean, to make you whole.” The seraphim


<blockquote>
... come to minister to the soul. And so they come passing through the microcosm, and their fire also burns the cause of disease, of poison, of the toxins that have been passing through you for so many years in the food, in the water, in the [[tobacco]] and the [[alcohol]] that mankind imbibe. Who, pray tell, will keep souls alive and evolving in these body temples if not the angels who come to minister, who come to uplift? I tell you, mankind have been spared again and again and again the last plagues and all forms of chaos and disturbance and imbalance and insanity by the very presence of the angels.


Now hear this! When they pass through your forms as spirits of living fire, they leave, as it were, the calling card of their identity. That calling card is a focus of fire tingeing your aura with the hue of the Central Sun, tingeing the aura with a halo. And for a while, then, there is that glow, that essence, that sense of well-being, that inner warmth.<ref>Justinius, “Legions of Purity in Defense of the Mother Flame,” December 8, 1974.</ref>
</blockquote>


Justinius first became known to the outer world when he wrote the Seraphic Meditations in the ''Dossier on the Ascension'', by Serapis Bey. Speaking of their service, Serapis has said:


<blockquote>I know of no power more valiantly capable of assisting anyone into his own ascension in the light than the transmutative efforts toward Cosmic Christ purity that are emitted by the Seraphic Hosts. In our [[Ascension Temple|retreat at Luxor]] the meditations upon the seraphim are a very important part of our spiritual instruction. Jesus himself spent a great deal of time in communion with the seraphic hosts. This developed in him the superior power whereby he could cast out demons and take dominion over the outer world of form.<ref>{{DOA}}, pp. 130–31.</ref></blockquote>


You can ask for the protection of the armour of Justinius, Captain of Seraphic Bands. Call for and visualize daily the silvery, platinum and white color of the armour and helmet of the seraphim. Call for the great electronic fire rings of the seraphim to surround and seal you.


“Rêve Angélique,” or “Angel’s Dream,” by Anton Rubinstein, reflects the musical rhythm and harmonies that are in the center of our cosmos and the action of the seraphim as they form circles and tiers focusing the energies of God around the Central Sun.

Justina

'''Justina''' is the [[twin flame]] of [[Mighty Victory]]. On January 1, 1978, in Pasadena, California, beloved Justina dictated for the first time. In this landmark address, titled “The Forgiveness of Eve,” she said:


<blockquote>Now I step forth, for Almighty God has weighed these several systems of worlds and the evolutions therein, and Almighty God has pronounced that certain evolutions of lightbearers do now contain within themselves enough consciousness of the victory of the feminine ray that I might stand forth and be with my Beloved the focal point for the Father-Mother God in total awareness of the victory of evolutions in these systems. Beloved ones, the one whom you call Mighty Victory is indeed androgynous, as I am, as is [[Alpha and Omega|Alpha]], as is [[Alpha and Omega|Omega]]. But as we come forth together, descending into lower and lower dimensions of awareness, we bring a greater complement of the spectrum of that cosmic polarity as a polarity of manifestation to those of lesser evolution. Therefore, though one may be sufficient in the whole, always twin flames are required for the transmutation of a cosmos.</blockquote>


We can claim the sense of victory from Justina. [[Saint Germain]] tells us how:


<blockquote>
Blessed hearts, the only reason to get out of bed in the morning is for the victory! There is no other reason to get out of bed! Hear me. You must have the victorious spirit. You must claim it from Mighty Victory. You must claim it from Justina and all of the hosts of heaven!


We are sick and tired of the nonvictory consciousness! There is a victory available to you and you and you and every one of you. And you must have it! You must will to have it! You must desire to have it! You must shout your fiat and determine: “I will be God’s will of victory in manifestation today, this hour and every day!”


Get up for the victory! Go to bed for the victory! Work for the victory! Eat for the victory! Be joyous and happy for the victory. But always and always and always give the earth, give yourself, give all whom you meet that victory spin! I say, do it and be glorious about it, be triumphant about it, be magnanimous about it, but be it!


So! So now you know why I have come in the hour of victory. [It is] because I desire the full momentum of [[Lord Maitreya]] to be in this [[Inner Retreat]] that he might have his day and have his say. And I tell you, there is more fire and determination in the entire Spirit of the [[Great White Brotherhood]], in this [[messenger]] and in you than there is the spirit of defeat in the fallen ones.


Do you understand? He who has the greater sense of victory will win! And we are going to win!<ref>Saint Germain, “For the Victory!” {{POWref|35|44|, October 18, 1992}}</ref>

Jophiel and Christine

'''Jophiel and Christine''' are the [[archangel]] and archeia of the second ray of wisdom and illumination. These [[twin flame]]s amplify the Christ consciousness within [[angel]]s, [[elemental]]s and men. Jophiel and Christine serve with the [[World Teacher]]s, [[Jesus]] and [[Kuthumi]], to illumine mankind’s understanding of cosmic law. The name Jophiel means “beauty of God.”

== Retreat == 


{{main|Jophiel and Christine's Retreat}}


The retreat of Jophiel and Christine is in the etheric realm over the plains of Central China, south of the Great Wall near Lanchow. From the yellow flame of illumination focused here since the first golden ages, have come not only the “yellow” race and the Yellow River, but also the wisdom of [[Confucius]], [[Lao-tse]] and the civilizations of ancient China.


The wisdom of ancient China reached great heights long before there was even a stirring of culture in the West. In those days China’s rulers held mystical contact with the hierarchs of Jophiel’s retreat. As long as these initiates held the mandate of heaven (the divine right of rulership) and ruled the “middle kingdom,” the civilizations of China grew and prospered under the radiance of the golden sun of cosmic wisdom.

== Their service == 


Jophiel and Christine and the angels of wisdom teach you how to contact your Higher Self. Jophiel says that you need to educate the heart, then the mind and then the soul. He says:


<blockquote>Think of the ancients who walked the earth and knew the thoughts of God ''when God thought them''.<ref>Archangel Jophiel. “An Era of Unprecedented Enlightenment,” {{POWref|32|5|, January 29, 1989}}</ref></blockquote>


Angels of Jophiel and Christine unveil the mysteries of God, and they expose the infamies of men and [[fallen angel]]s. They are here to reveal what is hidden in government, science, education, medicine, food, health, AIDS and other terminal diseases, the war on [[drugs]], pollution and the environment, the effects of music on evolution and in just about everything that touches our daily lives.


Jophiel and Christine have come on a mission to deliver us from profound levels of ignorance that are settling over every nation, starting with the earliest grades of children in school. In our time, the goal of education on earth has been to accelerate the computer of the [[mental body]]. Direct communication with God through the [[threefold flame]] and the [[heart chakra]] is wanting.


Angels are filled with joy in their service, and they have a fierce loyalty to God that has kept them from swerving from their path of light. Anchored within their hearts—even though they be angels of illumination—is a tremendous love for mankind that keeps them working constantly in an atmosphere that is most uncomfortable to their pure vibrations. However, their only motive is to glorify the Father and raise his sons back to the true estate they once knew and enjoyed. Jophiel says:


<blockquote>
I would like to point out to you, then, that there is a method whereby you can keep your own consciousness high, and that method is to feel God’s love anchored in your heart simultaneously while you feel God’s love and wisdom anchored within your mind. It is possible, then, for you to utilize the center of your heart as a sun of divine love and to use your brain as a radiant focus of the power of illumination’s flame so that all density is indeed removed from your consciousness.


The cerebrum and the cerebellum are as the great Milky Way is in the vast starry universe. These are intended to be mighty continents of power anchored within the head area of every man [and woman] whereby great currents of illumination may flow through those wondrous folds of your precious brains, creating therein a golden flame of illumination and removing the so-called gray matter from human consciousness, which is but the distortion of the pure white light into the qualities of gray by reason of the addition of flecks of shadow created by human ideas of great density and opacity.<ref>Archangel Jophiel, “The Power of the Angels of Illumination,” {{POWref|25|46|, November 14, 1982}}</ref>
</blockquote>


If you call to the angels of illumination, they can release to you mighty currents of light that are the mercury diamond-shining mind of God. These light rays can flow across your brain, scintillating as the sunlight upon the water and remove from you the density that has been created by reason of human thought and feeling that has become the vibration of jealousy, doubt, fear, dishonor and a lack of integrity.


On September 9, 1963, Archangel Jophiel released the fiat that resulted in the exposure of the hazards of tobacco and the report of the Surgeon General of the United States concerning the harmful effects of smoking. Jophiel explains to those who are addicted to smoking that the use of [[nicotine]] creates a density in the brain preventing the divine intelligence from flashing forth through the receptacles of the brain. When people set aside the smoking habit, they will find that this will increase the flow of spiritual illumination to them through the brain and central nervous system.


Smog and atmospheric pollution also act to render the golden flame of illumination inefficient in our brain consciousness. Jophiel tells us that when men understand the proper use of atomic energy and when they apply themselves to the heart of God with a greater diligence, they will be able to terminate the release of smoke and the burdens on the environment that cause so much misery to millions.


Archangel Jophiel is specifically concerned about the deplorable state of education. His angels are relentless in their warfare against ignorance, mental density and mediocrity as these affect the minds of educators and students and lower the standards of institutions of learning. He says that these negative attitudes “detract from the crispness of the Christ-qualities that belong to and are the inheritance of the children of the Sun.”<ref>Archangel Jophiel and Christine, {{POWref|32|22|, May 28, 1989}}</ref>


The archeia Christine says:


<blockquote>Call to me to intercede before the [[Cosmic Christ]] in your behalf to release advanced teaching methods to the parents, teachers and sponsors of youth. Will you not pray that the World Teachers and the hierarchies of illumination might release to instructors in every field, as well as to yourselves, new and advanced methods of teaching all subjects. We have released methods through [[Maria Montessori]] and many other educators. There is so much more we can deliver to those who will listen.<ref>Elizabeth Clare Prophet, “How Angels Help You to Contact Your Higher Self,” February 20, 1993.</ref></blockquote>


Jophiel will teach you how you can commune with the mind of God and experience self-knowledge. The angels of wisdom are ready and waiting to help you, at your signal, to absorb the elements of the mind of God. Archangel Jophiel once remarked, “Do you know that a single mind, transformed by the mind of Christ, is a catalyst for quickening the minds of the population of an entire planet? That is what the Christ incarnate, the Buddha incarnate, can do.”<ref>Ibid.</ref>
