	When the pupil is ready for the commitment to the path of eternal life (having seen the futility of false theology in mainline religions or of [[false gurus]]’ cults of idolatry), then the [[ascended master]] appears—with his commitment to the pupil.

	Step by step, the disciple is prepared for his soul’s testings on the Path. These are sometimes given to him when least expected through family and friends. Whatever his environment, the disciple finds that the master is acting either directly or indirectly through his associates to test his mastery of the law of harmony and his correct use of the Godly attributes of [[Power, wisdom and love\|Power, Wisdom, and Love]]. And ultimately the testing is to see whether or not the chela is willing to make the required sacrifices concerning the lesser self that are necessary in order for him to receive the mantle of the Greater Self, his own beloved [[I AM Presence]], as well as that of the master.

	The initiations given to the disciples and the trials endured by the saints as they move among the unawakened masses are all part of a foolproof system evolved by the Hierarchy whereby the real intentions and the actual attainment—not the wishful thinking—of seekers may be determined each step of the way. Then, when all tests have been passed and the requirements of the [[Lords of Karma]] have been met, their inheritance and their divine Sonship is reestablished and they are bidden through the ritual of the [[ascension]] to eat of the [[Tree of Life]] and to live forever.
