This is one of my Spiritual cards which I designed myself. The squiggly line represents the Mountain of God with the Sun of Heaven rising up above the Inner horizon. The figure is of a person in a hooded robe with their Heart Centre open and their arms outstretched forming a cross. There is a bird symbolizing Spiritual Freedom and a White Star symbolizing a Higher Heaven. The background is the fire of the Sun.
Angelic Garments of Light
When we fill our Inner-body with the fiery Light of Divine Love from the Heart Centre we are clothed in an Angelic Garment of Light preparing us for the company of the Angelic-Host of Heaven which is seen as a Sun above the horizon. To me this is what is meant in the Bible where Jesus teaches the people a parable concerning the Wedding Garment: "The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto a certain king which made a marriage for his son... And when the king came to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a Wedding Garment... Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and...cast him into outer darkness... For many are called, but few are chosen."(Saint Matthew 22:1-14) Saint John the Divine teaches in the Bible: "He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in White Raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the Book of Life."(Revelations 3:5) He also gives this description of a Son of Light, Son of God, Son of Man, Angel, Resurrected Master or Ascended Master: "I saw... one like unto the Son of Man, clothed with a Garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and His voice as the sound of many waters...and His countenance was as the Sun shineth in his strength... And He laid His right hand upon me, saying unto me... I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore." (Revelation 1:12-18) This does not mean that all Angels or Masters are clothed in White Garments. For example, the Ascended Master Beloved Ray-O-Light says His Mantle of Flame is Golden lined and Blue without. In his book "Heaven and Hell" Emmanuel Swedenborg teaches, the angels "said that their clothes changed with their changes of state, that in the first and second states (of the Celestial Kingdom) they had gleaming and shining clothes, and in the third and fourth (Kingdoms of heaven) somewhat darkened clothes." (p145) From my own personal experience when I open up my Crown Chakra and fill my whole body with White Light in the Inner worlds I effectively clothe myself in a Garment of White Light or I have actually seen a Garment of White Light moving towards me thru the air then I found myself in a Heaven where there were Guardian Angels standing in pairs in the air in front of the buildings. Personally I believe this is what is sometimes referred to as the Seemless Garment because it is made by God not by man.

Importance of the Heart Centre
The Heart Centre is the Doorway to the Golden Yellow Sun Heaven & Divine Love. The Ascended Master, Beloved Hope, teaches us: "Since "I AM" an Activity of the Golden Ray; since the Elohim and the God and Goddess of Peace are Mighty Manifestations of that Golden Ray; and since your Beloved Master Jesus is a Mighty Out-pouring of that Golden Ray; since the Physical Sun pours forth Its Mighty Golden Ray to the earth, then My Hope and all Hope within you, all Hope within all mankind is an Action of the Golden Flame from your "Mighty I AM Presence" and Us, which if you will LET It expand, as It passes thru, will dissolve the shadows and let you go forward Free! The Golden Flame is the Flame of Peace from the Heart of the Mighty Elohim of Peace, the God and Goddess of Peace, the Temple of Peace, the Legions of Peace! The Golden Flame is the Out-pouring of Wisdom which brings Peace! The Golden Flame is the Out-pouring of Healing which brings Peace! The Golden Flame of Hope, thru which you may attain Peace!"
When I have opened up my Heart Centre in the Inner Worlds a Sun always rises up above the Horizon. This is I believe the Doorway to what I am calling the Soul Plane. This is where we can feel Divine Love in our bodies so it opens us up to a World of Divine Love". White Eagle teaches; “That Spiritual Sun is the Heart of the Great Being Christ, the Lord of earth’s humanity… The Cosmic Body of the Son.” ("Jesus Teacher & Healer" p83) Most Religions or Spiritual Practices including meditation & contemplation talk about opening up the Heart to find Divine Love, the Christ, the Buddha or Krishna. In "The Aquarian gospel of Jesus the Christ" by Levi (p54) Jesus teaches: "Just open up the windows of your Hearts, and like a flood of light, a Heaven will come and bring a boundless joy." Also in the Bible we read: "Blessed are the Pure in Heart for they shall see God."-Jesus (Matthew 5:8) and "Christ may dwell in your Hearts by faith." (Ephesians 3:17) which means Divine Love dwells in our Hearts. "Though I...understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; ...And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor... and have not Charity, it profiteth me nothing."-Saint Paul (1 Corinthians 13:2) In other words unless we live our lives with Divine Love in our Hearts it is a waste of time because their is no Real Spiritual gain. This is why we all must accept Christ into our Hearts. The Christ is a Title meaning the anointed one or Master of Divine Love which was bestowed upon Jesus thus we can all become Masters of Divine Love or Christs which is exactly what Jesus wants us to be. According to "The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ" by Levi; "The Christs of ancient times... Enoch... changed his carnal flesh to flesh Divine without descending thru the gates of death. (See Genesis 5:24 Bible) And Melchizedec, the Christ who lived when Abram lived... (See Genesis 14:18) And... the Christ... in Bethlehem." (p9) Saint Augustine taught: "That which is called the Christian Religion existed among the ancients and never did not exist, from the beginning of the human race until Christ came in the flesh, at which time the true religion which already existed began to be called Christianity." (p5, "The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ" by Nicolas Notovitch) The True Saviour of the world is Divine Love which Jesus became by becoming One with Divine Love. As Obadiah points out in the Old Testament of the Bible more "Saviours shall come"(Obadiah1:21) because we all can become Saviours of the world by becoming One with Divine Love.
The 33rd Degree Freemason C. W. Leadbeater reveals: "In the magnificent illumination given in the Eighteenth Degree, that of the Sovereign Prince of the Rose-Croix of Heredom... [the Mason] finds the divine Love reigning in his own heart and in those of his Brn. [Brethren] He also learns that God has descended and shared our lower nature with us expressly in order that we may ascend to share His true nature with Him... It further teaches us that God sits enthroned in every human heart, that the inmost Spirit of each man is part of God Himself, a spark of the Divine; and that therefore all men are one in Him, and there is no height to which man may not aspire... Each Knight [of the Rose-Croix] should meditate upon it and try to realize all that it involves for the knowledge which it gives should permeate the whole fibre of his very essence, if he is to do the duty which is expected of him... For the man who really knows this, all life is one great glad song of triumph and of gratitude. All this he acknowledges, in all this he rejoices, every time he remembers that wondrous Word of power (The Name of T.G.A.O.T.U. [The Great Architect Of The Universe? God? The author does not say what this Word of Power is but on p266 he teaches: "From another source comes the somewhat fantastic suggestion that Solomon...is capable of the sub-division sol-om-on; sol meaning the sun, om being the sacred word of the Hindus...and on, from the Greek 'to on,' the absolute existence. Also on p275 he talks about "the Sacred word AUM or Om") which is revealed to the aspirant in this most wonderful 18[th Degree] was the central and innermost secret of the ancient Egyptian mystery teaching. It is the clear duty of every Knight of the Rose-Croix to spread this light abroad-to preach by word when possible, and always by action, this true "gospel of the grace of God." In the Co-Masonic form of this Degree he is instructed to offer himself as a channel for the Divine force and to make efforts to co-operate with T.G.A.O.T.U. [God?] By this daily work... the Christ dwelling in man, should be aroused and greatly developed, so that he becomes, to the limit of his capacity, a living manifestation of the Eternal Love, a veritable priest who is its instrument for the helping of the world. In this Degree also we find certain symbols of deep significance. The flower of the Rose...[and] the Cross... So when these two emblems are taken in conjunction, as they always are in the name Rose-Croix, they betoken the Love of Self-sacrifice, the secret of Immortality, and the sweet Fragrance of a Holy life. (p296-298) Much of the ancient wisdom has been allowed to slip into oblivion, and so some of the true secrets were lost to the great body of the Brn. [Brethren] But among the Hierophants of the Great White Brotherhood the true secrets have ever been preserved and they will always reward the search of the really earnest Mason."(p38, 296-298) You may be interested to know that just as Jesus is acknowledged as the Master at the Head of all the Christian Religions C. W. Leadbeater teaches: "The Chohan of the Seventh Ray... is that Master of the Wisdom of whom we often speak as the Comte de St. Germain.(p11) He was the Comte de St. Germain at the time of the French Revolution... This great Saint and Teacher still lives and His present body has no appearance of great age. I myself met Him physically in Rome in 1901 and had along conversation with Him. In Co-Masonry we refer to Him as the Head of all True Freemasons throughout the world... Today but few of His Masons acknowledge Him as their Sovereign Grand Master, yet the possibility of such discipleship has ever been recognized in the traditions of the Order." (p11, 14-15 "The Hidden Life in Freemasonry" by C. W. Leadbeater) H. P. Blavatsky from the Theosophical Society teaches: "The Doctrine of the Heart [is] for the elect" ("The Voice of the Silence" by H. P. Blavatsky p27) If you are interested in reading about the Mark Degree in Freemasonry look at the "Higher Mental Plane page 11" of my site.
For most people on this planet the next Spiritual Step is I believe to shift their feelings up from the Emotional centre of the Solar plexus to the Divine Love Centre of the Heart. This is the Master Key to Eternal Happiness & Joy. I believe Jesus is trying to point this out when He gives His Higher Laws in His Sermon on the Mount: "Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, bless them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you: That ye may be the children of your Father which is in Heaven...Be ye therefore Perfect, even as your Father which is in Heaven is Perfect."(Saint Matthew 5:43-45,48) because human emotion swings from love to hate while Divine Love is totally Free of all human emotions therefore it is Perfect. Everyone lives their lives like a planet revolving around one or more of the chakra centres. THE LOWER CHAKRAS DRAW US DOWN TO THE EARTH THUS INTO RE-EMBODIMENT. THE HIGHER CHAKRAS, FROM THE HEART UP, DRAW US UP INTO HEAVEN AND ETERNAL LIFE therefore it is extremely important to make this shift in consciousness. In the book "Heaven & Hell" by Emmanuel Swedenborg the angels teach him; "There are two gates within every individual...One of them gives access to hell... The other Gate gives access toward Heaven." (p348) The human emotions are like the ocean waves which can be calm one moment but tempest the next and like water even if they evaporate carrying you up into the lower clouds of the heavens eventually we have to fall back down to earth like rain because our human bodies are made up of a large percentage of water which always flows down. On the other hand Divine Emotion or Divine Love is like the fiery Sun in It's Nature which is totally Free & Independent of human emotion. It constantly gives Its Light & Warmth of Divine Love to the earth unconditionally. (I open up my Heart-Centre by simply placing my Attention on the centre of my chest & filling it with Divine Love & Light from my Crown Chakra.) By opening up the Heart Centre & the Higher Chakras we become like a Blazing Sun of Heaven or Sun God which transforms us from a water being to a Fire Being or Spiritually from lead to gold. This will transform mankind's lives because they will no longer be ruled by their emotions but instead by Divine Love which is our True Eternal Divine Nature.
