Guide to Ascension

Introduction

2008-11-30T15:44:00.009+13:00

As we go through life many of us will ask the questions; “Where did I come from?” “Why am I here?” and “Where am I going to when this life is over?” I have endeavored to reveal as clearly as possible some of the answers to these questions primarily based on the Teachings of the Ascended Masters such as Jesus and Saint Germain. Jesus is the Master who demonstrated that it is possible for all mankind to become a Resurrected Master and an Ascended Master. Saint Germain is the Master who has revealed exactly how we can all gain the Freedom of the Ascension in this lifetime. I have used my diagram of the three main spiritual paths of life and death as a guide for the various page headings starting at the top of the diagram (on page 1) and then more or less working my way down from the Higher Soul Plane to the Physical Plane. My purpose is to guide others to the Teachings of the Ascended Masters so if you would like to go straight to Their Teachings then turn to page 24 Highly Recommended Reading. May God bless you to be able to find your way through the maze of life and death to the Ascension in this lifetime.

Who am I? (Page 2 of 24)

2008-11-23T15:59:00.005+13:00

My name is Martin and I have been travelling along different Spiritual Paths now for many years. In "The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ" by Levi (p149) Jesus turned, and to the twelve He said; "Find the Path that leads up to the Mountain Top." I believe I have found this Path thru the Teachings of the "Ascended Masters" (e.g. Jesus and Saint Germain. See http://www.saintgermainfoundation.com/ and http://www.saintgermainpress.com/ ) so I see myself as a bridge to the Ascended Masters in the Octaves of Light or a mirror reflecting the Light of Truth to help others find their way up to the Spiritual Mountain Top.

Orthodox Priests vs. Ascended Masters

There are many spiritual paths which lead up the Mountain of God however most of these do not lead to the Mountain Top. In the School of Life most of these lower paths are represented by the different orthodox Religions which are like spiritual Kindergartens, Primary, Intermediate, or High Schools but we must find a Spiritual University where we are able to gain our Master's Degree from those who have already gained their Master's Degree. Only the Spiritually brave dare to venture up to the Mountain Top despite the dire warnings of eternal damnation from the orthodox Priests who are like the orthodox Priests in Jesus' day who "shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in."(Saint Matthew 23:13 Bible) I believe only those who are unafraid of the Truth can find it. The Ascended Masters are also sometimes referred to as the Great White Brotherhood or Spiritual Hierarchy. Of course this does not mean they have white skin but rather that they are all united together as one in the White Light of God. Nor does it mean it is an exclusive men’s club. There are both male and female Ascended Masters. For example there is Beloved Mother Mary and Beloved Quan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy.

Recently my friends and I were discussing the Qabalah Tree of Life which portrays 10 worlds connected together by paths. This conversation inspired me to design my own version including the Higher and lower Planes which I have entitled; "The Three-Fold Paths of Life and Death". In my last Religion known as Eckankar I was taught the Ancient Science of Soul Travel. Although I am not a master of this art I have been blessed with many conscious journeys to the Spirit Worlds. ("I knew a man in Christ... whether in the body... or whether out of the body I cannot tell...caught up to the third Heaven."-Saint Paul (2 Corinthians 12:2 Bible)

Higher Soul Plane (Page 4 of 24)

2008-11-21T12:38:00.009+13:00

Thru my out of body experiences I have learnt that when I open up my Crown Chakra, or sing the Holy Name of God, "AM", a White Star appears in the Inner Sky which is what I call the Higher Soul Heaven or Plane. This is like a Doorway thru which you can pass into Heaven or thru which the Gods, Masters & Angels can come to you. In Eckankar the Eck Master Paul Twitchell teaches that "the top of the head is the point at which the human self merges with Spirit. Those wishing to be initiated into the Supreme Consciousness must become as little children. This means that the opening must remain at the top of the head, like the soft spot of a baby. This is symbolized as the 'Narrow Way'...All Adepts have known this truth, but it has been lost over the years since the Magi or the Essenes used it to open the way for the neophytes to gain the glorious Kingdom of God." In case you are planning to work with the White Fire Light of the Crown Chakra I have a warning. If you fill your whole Physical body with this White Fire I believe it can burn you so if you feel some pain, especially in your nervous system, stop immediately. The safest way I have found to channel this White Fire Light down thru the Physical body is via the Heart Chakra. This then radiates Divine Love which seems to have no harmful effects. In the Bible while Saul, who was persecuting the Christian Church, journeyed near Damascus the Resurrected Master Jesus appeared to him: "Suddenly there shined round about him a Light from Heaven. And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus... And he was three days without sight..."(Acts 9:3-9 Bible) Ananias restored his sight and he became a Christian changing his name to Paul. My point here is the Light of God can be brighter than the noon-day Sun.

In "The Aquarian Gospel Of Jesus The Christ" by Levi (which is a fascinating book giving a fuller account of Jesus' life and teachings including the many years He spent in India, Persia and Tibet) when Jesus appears to the Magi after His Resurrection He says that He is appearing to them in the Image of the AM. This I believe is the Mighty I AM Presence, the Individualized God Presence, the Higher-Self or God the Father. In the Old Testament of the King James Version of the Bible when God calls to Moses out of the Burning Bush God says His Name is "I AM THAT I AM and He said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you."(Exodus 3:13-14) In other words the Holy Name of God, or Word, is "I AM". ("In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made...That was the true Light, which Lighteth every man that cometh into the world...And the Word was made flesh."-Bible; Saint John 1:1-3,9,14) When we stand before God it is said we exclaim in Self-Realization "I am That, I AM" meaning I am God the Mighty I AM. The Eck Master Paul Twitchell teaches that "at the center of all manifestation there is only one God, I AM, or Soul."('Eckankar Dictionary' p93) White Eagle teaches: "The I AM is the seed of God in man's heart; it is the Light; it is the still small voice which speaks in every human heart. The I AM is Christ, the universal spirit of love." ('Jesus Teacher and Healer' p11)

The Higher Soul Plane is the Doorway to an infinite number of Higher Planes where, after gaining what is referred to in the East as Self Realization, we can eternally progress on up into these Higher Levels of God Realization. The Religion known as Eckankar talks about these Higher Soul Planes including the God "HU" on the tenth Plane, the God SUGMAD on the twelfth Plane and the Mahanta the Living ECK Master claims to represent the fourteenth Plane. The Eckankar scriptures teach: "Not until the lower self has been absorbed into the Higher Self can the illusion of personality be broken... It is thus that the human is raised to the divine Self." (Shariyat-Ki-SUGMAD 2:90) In his book "The Tiger's Fang" (p65) Paul Twitchell describes the process of Self Realization: "When you see Sat Nam (the Sikh Religion's God of the Soul Plane) you cry out, "I am He," or "I am God." You merge your identity into the Supreme Reality of God."

I am That, I AM (Page 5 of 24)

2008-11-20T12:28:00.004+13:00

In the New Testament of the Bible when Jesus was challenged concerning His Divine Nature He responded by saying; "Before Abraham was, I AM."(Saint John 8:58)

Ye Are Gods

Jesus also points out, when they accuse Him of blasphemy because He said He was the Son of God, that the Jews own scriptures teach "Ye are gods" ("I have said; Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the Most High."-Psalm 82:6 and Saint John 10:33-36 Bible) The Apostle Paul teaches in the Bible that "there be gods many, and lords many."(1 Corinthians 8;5)

Is Jesus the Way, the Truth and the Life?

Jesus used the Name of God in the form of "I AM Decrees" such as "I AM the Resurrection and the Life" and "I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life."(Saint John 14:6) This does not mean that only "Jesus is the Way". Rather it means "the only Way is thru our "Mighty I AM Presence" and the Ascended Masters Who are One with Their Presence including Beloved Jesus. Jesus teaches thru the "Saint Germain Foundation" that the Ascended Master known as the "Great Divine Director" revealed to Him this identical Understanding and Application of the "Mighty I AM Presence." In the Eastern teachings of Sri Chinmoy he gives the Names of the Gods of the chakras, or the different Planes, as I think; LAM, VAM, RAM, YAM, HAM, and AUM. I believe there is at least one more God not mentioned by Sri Chinmoy known as NAM or referred to as Sat Nam by the Sikh Religion & Eckankar. This is the Mantra or Name of God I would associate with the Heart Chakra. You may notice that the Divine Essence of all these Names of God is AM. I believe the Mantra AUM is actually made up of several Key Sounds; A-U-M, UM (pronounced Oom or Yoom) and AM. 'AM' is the Sound to connect you with your Higher-Self and 'U' or 'UM' is the Sound to connect you with the "Higher Planes of Soul".

Mormon Temple

In the Mormon-Temples members receive a "Secret Key Word" as they enter into the Endowment Room before passing thru the Veil into the Celestial Room. This unfortunately is only a "symbolic Name or Word of Divine Power" just as the Veil is symbolic of the division between the Inner and the outer worlds and the Celestial Room symbolizes the "Celestial Kingdom of Heaven". "The Real Name or Word of Divine Power is I AM." Joseph Smith, the Founder of the Mormon Church, was apparently a Mason so it is little wonder that there are similarities between the Mormon Temple and Freemasonry. Like cousins they both claim to have links to Solomon's Temple in the Old Testament of the Bible. The 33rd Degree Mason C. W. Leadbeater teaches: "In the Royal Arch [the Holy Royal Arch of Jerusalem, a continuation of the M. M. Degree or 3rd Degree] he passes beyond the substituted secrets and learns the genuine Word... For the true Word is the Name of God. (p277-278) The Degree of the H.R.A. [Holy Royal Arch] leads the neophyte a step further in his quest...His vision must be so purified that He can behold His presence with eyes unveiled. This attainment of true spiritual vision is symbolized by the Passing of the Four Veils on the road to the Heavenly City, the Sanctuary of Light and Peace; for the Veils represent those limitations of consciousness which blind his vision of the Truth." (p286-287 "The Hidden Life in Freemasonry" by C. W. Leadbeater)

Greater Light and Knowledge

The L.D.S. Members (Mormons) are taught about the possibility of having their "Calling and Election Made Sure". I believe this means receiving the "Greater Light and Knowledge", promised in their Temples, from Beloved Jesus and the Ascended Masters. As the L.D.S. scriptures teach; “It is impossible for a man to be saved in ignorance.” (Doctrine and Covenants 131:6) In the Book of Mormon there is a prophetic account of how the Gentiles will react to the additional words of God: "And because my words shall hiss forth-many of the Gentiles shall say: A Bible! A Bible! We have got a Bible, and there cannot be any more Bible... Thou fool, that shall say: A Bible, we have got a Bible, and we need no more Bible...Wherefore murmur ye, because that ye shall receive more of my word?... I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and...I speak forth my words according to mine own pleasure. And because that I have spoken one word ye need not suppose that I cannot speak another; for my work is not finished... Wherefore, because that ye have a Bible ye need not suppose that it contains all my words; neither need ye suppose that I have not caused more to be written. For out of the books which shall be written I will judge the world."(2 Nephi 29:3-11) The members of the Mormon Church have been given a revelation through Joseph Smith their Prophet which was designated as the "olive leaf... plucked from the Tree of Paradise". In it the Lord's message includes this advice: "Seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom, seek learning, even by study and also by faith."(Doctrine and Covenants 88:118) This does not mean only the best Mormon books! I wonder how many Members of the L.D.S. Church take this advice or do they say: "The Words of God! The Words of God! We have the Words of God! We don't need any more of the Words of God from the Ascended Masters! We have the Words of our Prophets!" According to Joanna Cherry in her book "Living Mastery" (p7-9) "Hardly any Master departed for lighter realms, has left a record of how and when he or she did it. The story of one modern Master, however, is quite clear! Her name is Annalee Skarin. Annalee was a dedicated Mormon. In mid-life, she had the temerity to write a dazzling channeled book 'Ye Are Gods,' whereupon she was excommunicated from the church. Not long afterward, she disappeared... Annalee has published eight books in all, seven of them after her Ascension."

The L.D.S. members (Mormons) are taught about the possibility of having their Calling and Election Made Sure. I believe this means receiving this Greater Light and Knowledge, promised in their Temples, from Beloved Jesus and the Ascended Masters. Beloved Jesus teaches; "I say to the orthodox world... those who cannot accept Saint Germain and the Ascended Masters, will not have My Radiation! ...In former ages, it was not possible to bring forth the clearness of this Understanding which Saint Germain has brought forth today! The Law of the Cosmic Light did not permit it! I brought forth to the world more of the "I AM," than any individual up to the time, when Saint Germain brought this Instruction forth."

White Star Heaven (Page 7of 24)

2008-11-18T13:47:00.003+13:00

C. W. Leadbeater who was a 33rd Degree Mason teaches us "that for true light and fuller information we must lift our eyes to that bright and morning Star whose rising brings peace and salvation to the faithful and obedient among men." ("The Hidden Life in Freemasonry" by C. W. Leadbeater p270) The reason the Highest Heaven appears before us in the Inner Worlds as a White Star I believe is because it symbolizes a Sun Heaven which is Higher or further away in the Heavens. White Light encompasses all the divisions of colour which make up the lower worlds. Here I believe is where our White Fire Body of the I AM Presence dwells. In the book "Heaven and Hell" by Emmanuel Swedenborg (p348) we are taught: "The only access to an angelic community is by a Narrow Way... The Doors and Gates to heavenly communities are not visible, except to people who have become ready for heaven; other people do not find them." ("Strait is the Gate and Narrow is the Way which leadeth unto Life and Few there be that find it."-Jesus (Saint Matthew 7:13) It seems to me that the Bible story of the Wise men following a White Star in the Heavens which leads them to the baby Jesus could symbolize the Spiritual Journey which all Wise men and women need to make. That is, I believe we all need to go on the Spiritual Journey Within to the White Star Heaven where we will find the Christ Consciousness. "The Kingdom of God is Within you."-Jesus (Saint Luke 17:21) May God bless you all "until...the Day Star arise(s) in your Hearts."(2 Peter 1:19) "This point of Light or central nucleus is the Central Spark or Son, the Christ of Humanity around which all humanity revolves. This is determined Spirit force... The Central Spark is a point of Pure White Light." ("The Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East" by Baird T. Spalding Vol 3:64)

Soul Plane (Page 8 of 24)

2008-11-17T13:17:00.004+13:00

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.

Pre-existence (Page 9 of 24)

As Souls We are Eternal Beings who existed Eternally before we were born onto this earth and we will exist Eternally after this life is over. This is expressed in the New Testament scripture of the Bible which teaches us that "no man hath Ascended up to Heaven, but he that came down from Heaven." (Saint John 3:13)

Resurrection & The Ascension (Page 10 of 24)

2008-11-15T15:21:00.003+13:00

The butterfly provides us with a magnificent example of how symbolically one can be transformed from a caterpillar, bound to the earth like a mortal being, to a butterfly free to fly up into the heavens like an Immortal Being.

The Resurrection and the Ascension are all about reuniting our lower selves with our Higher Selves. The Tibetan Eck Master Rebazar Tarzs, who is apparently over 500 years of age, teaches: The Lord Jesus was Resurrected... The star of Bethlehem was the signal to all people that a Savior had been born... Jesus showed the world that death could be overcome... When the Lord sent a Divine Son into the world, He did so to prove that man can overcome death also as Jesus did; and when the Divine Son goes through the process of death... the whole universe goes through the process of regeneration. Whatever a great Soul like Jesus does upon this earth affects mankind throughout the whole life of the earth... So I tell ye that AS LONG AS THERE IS A NECESSITY IN THY LIFE FOR BIRTH THERE WILL BE A NECESSITY FOR RESURRECTION. WHEN SOULS EVOLVE TO THIS POINT, THEY ARE FREE FROM THE WHEEL OF LIFE AND NO LONGER NEED TO INCARNATE UPON THE EARTH, and the necessity for either birth or death is done away with." ("Stranger by the River" by Paul Twitchell p125-128) In the book "Life & Teachings of the Masters of the Far East" by Baird T. Spalding (Vol. 2:100) the Master teaches: "The Goal of every life should be the Resurrection rather than the crucifixion."

Another Master, apart from Jesus, who apparently Resurrected His physical body from the dead was Kabir. He was a 15th century religious leader who combined facets of the Muslim and Hindu religions. After His death in 1518, His followers were divided over whether to cremate His body, which Hindus favour but Muslims oppose. Kabir is said to have appeared to stop the controversy. When He directed them to draw back the cloth placed over His body, they found only flowers underneath. His Hindu followers burned half the flowers and the Muslims buried the other half. There is evidence of a growing set of legends that grew up among His followers. These include a miraculous birth, miracles performed during His life and appearances to His disciples after his death.

Jesus is the most well known Ascended Master in the Western world but there are many others including Saint Germain Who has built on the Spiritual Foundation Jesus established 2000 years ago. Thus thru the teachings of Saint Germain we now have the Fulness of the Gospel which includes exactly how these Masters were able to gain the Resurrection and the Ascension. Even the Saints of the churches, many of which have made the Ascension, had the understanding of the "I AM" privately or secretly and they had to know the Ascended Beings in order to reach the Ascension and become a Sainted Being. That is an Inner Law which none can break. In Jesus' day these Secret Teachings were only taught in the Retreats of the Ascended Masters which were difficult to access. Now we are blessed to have the Greatest Spiritual Teachings on this earth easily accessible & free to all thru the Saint Germain Foundation's books. Recommended reading: "Unveiled Mysteries", "The Magic Presence" and "The I AM Discourses" by "Godfre Ray King". According to the Archangel Michael "if you pass this opportunity you will wait such a long time again! I would not care to estimate it to you! The unfortunate people who doubt the Reality of this Truth are most unfortunate on this planet."

Higher Mental Plane (Page 11 of 24)

2008-11-14T15:52:00.003+13:00

The "Higher Mental Plane" is the Home of our "Higher Mental Body", Higher-Self or Over-Self which is between our "Mighty I AM Presence" and our lower bodies. It is the Divine director of all our lives on this earth. These "Higher Soul Bodies" do not reside in the human body but above them therefore they are sometimes referred to as the Over-Self. Our "human state of consciousness" is made up of our inner-selves while our intuition or inspiration comes down from our Higher-Selves. Our Higher-Self is connected to our lower-self by a "Life Stream of Light." (If you would like to see a picture of your own God-Self, your "I AM Presence" or your Higher and lower selves go to the Website http://www.saintgermainfoundation.com/) The Old Testament of the Bible refers to the "Life Stream of Light" between your Higher-Self and your lower-self as the Silver-Cord when it says, "Or ever the Silver Cord be loosed...then shall dust ("all are of the dust" Chapter3:20) return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it."-The Preacher (Ecclesiastes 12:6-7) I have been able to reach out of my physical body with my spirit-hand several times & feel this Silver-Cord coming down into my Crown-Chakra on the top of my head where the fontanel has closed up as a child. Once I shifted my consciousness in individual stages from one Inner-body to another until I could not go any further. There were not any more Inner-bodies to shift to. After this I found myself travelling upwards instead. Within the Heart-Centre of the "lower human self" is a Permanent-Atom, "Spark of the Divine" or Divine-Flame connected to our Higher-Self which gives us Life.

I believe the "Higher Mental Plane" is a Violet-Heaven, Home to the "Violet-Flame of Purification and Transformation". The "orthodox Christian priests" would have us believe that the "Ritual of Baptism" will gain us entry into Heaven. Because it is only a ritual you could be baptized a 1000 times and still not be worthy of entry into Heaven. In "The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ" by Levi (p109) Jesus taught: "Washing is established as the pledge of your discipleship. Until this Age shall close this pledge shall be a rite, and shall be called, baptism rite." This Age was known as the Piscean-Age with the "symbol of a fish" which some Christians like to display as a symbol of Christ. This Old Age is now closed as we enter into the New-Age, the Aquarian-Age, thus this rite or "ritual of Baptism" is no longer a requirement. In other words we entered into a New-Dispensation in 1932 replacing the Old-Dispensation just as the New Testament replaced the Old Testament of the Bible 2000 years ago. The Violet-Flame is "the Real Spiritual Key" to preparing ourselves for entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven. In the Old Testament of the Bible we read how "the LORD went before them (Israel) by day in a pillar of a cloud to lead them the way; and by night in a Pillar of Fire, to give them light; to go by day and night."-Moses (Exodus 13:21) Here I believe we learn that the Bridge between Heaven & earth is a Pillar of Fire thus we need to use the "Baptism of Fire" to Spiritually cleanse ourselves & raise our bodies up into Heaven. In the New Testament of the Bible John the Baptist teaches: "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but He that cometh (referring to the Master Jesus) after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with Fire." (Saint Matthew 3:11) In the book "The Twelve Blessings" by George King from the "Aetherius Society" (p38) the Master Jesus refers to "the Violet Flame of Transmutation." In the same book (p32-33) Saint Goo-Ling teaches: "You should all think through your physical and mental bodies the Transmuting Power of the Velvet (Violet) Fire. For that is really how it feels, just like soft velvet when it caresses your aura, with its Violet fingers. You should then think upwards this Flame of Transmutation and then your bodies will be clean. THIS IS THE FINEST PRACTICE FOR ALL STUDENTS OF TRUTH IN THESE DAYS...PRACTICE MANY TIMES AND ONE DAY PERFECTION-LIKE A SUN-WILL DAWN...TREAT THIS IN A SACRED MANNER, FOR IT IS VERY GREAT, MOST HOLY PRACTICE." Jesus used the Violet-Flame to gain the Resurrection. We also must use the Violet-Flame to cleanse ourselves of all our mistakes or negative karma from this life & all our Past Lives to prepare ourselves for the Resurrection in this lifetime. A Brother of the Masonic Craft has written concerning his experience of enlightenment: "You know everything and understand the stars...They are all within you, and you are all light. But the light is music, and the music is violet wine in a great cup of gold." (p269 "The Hidden Life in Freemasonry" by C. W. Leadbeater) To me this is a symbolic way of saying that within the Universal-Golden-Light of the Soul-Plane is the Universal-Violet-Light of the Higher-Mental-Plane. The Violet-Flame is the True Sacramental wine which can transform our base metal human nature into the Pure Divine Nature of the Great Golden Cup, our Mighty "I AM" Presence. Beloved "Saint Germain is the Lord of the Seventh Ray" which is the Activity of the Violet-Ray of this earth and the controlling, directing Intelligence for the "New-Cycle of ten thousand years". If He had not chosen to render this service to mankind still It would not have been available to us and our human creation could not have been dissolved because It is the only Power in Heaven or earth that will do it. He represents Freedom to this earth for the "next ten thousand years".

The Doorway for me to the "Higher Mental Plane" Heaven is thru the Throat-Chakra which some Masters consider to be the Master-Chakra. (See 'Life & Teachings of the Masters of the Far East' by Baird T. Spalding.) These "three Higher-Selves are I believe expressed in the Holy-Trinity of orthodox-Christianity as the "Father, the Son & the Holy Ghost". In "The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ" by Levi (p22) Elihu teaches: "There are two selfs; the Higher and the lower self. The Higher Self is human spirit clothed with soul, made in the form of God. The lower self, the carnal self, the body of desires, is a reflection of the Higher Self, distorted by the murky ethers of the flesh. The lower self is an illusion, and will pass away; the Higher Self is God in man, and will not pass away. The Higher Self is the embodiment of Truth."

The "Ascended Masters teach" that individuals who pass from the physical body and who have lived a normal and good life go into the "Octave of Light", into the "Higher Mental Body" where they function during the digestive period to assimilate the experiences of earth, until they return again.

In the Mark Degree, where the Mason becomes a Mark Mason or a Mark Master which is an extension of the F. C. or Second Degree, "a Mark is given to him, typified in Masonic and biblical phraseology as a white stone, upon which a new name is written- the true name of the ego. [which I believe in Theosophy refers to the Higher Self.] The Hindu term for the man who takes the Third great Step is Hamsa, the swan." (p283 "The Hidden Life in Freemasonry" by C. W. Leadbeater) To me Hamsa, Soham, Sohang or Ham is the Holy Word or Name of our Higher Self known as the Higher Mental Body. I believe this Mantra can be used to gain the Holy Union with our Higher-Mental-Body. To break down the Mantra Soham; I believe 'So' is the Sound of the Higher Mental Plane, 'Ha' is the Sound emanating from our Higher Mental Body and 'm' is the Sound which Unites us therefore it is usually attached to a Mantra. (If you are interested in reading about the magnificent illumination revealed in the 18th Degree of Freemasonry look up "Soul Plane" in this site page 8-"The Importance of the Heart Centre")

Subconscious Mind Plane (Page 12 of 24)

2008-11-13T16:32:00.003+13:00

I believe the "Subconscious Mind Plane" is the home of our "Subconscious Mind body" and that this is our "highest Inner-body". Because I have journeyed to an Inner-World where everyone was dressed in black which is a reflection of the light within them I believe this Plane exists. Carlos Casteneda talks about facing a black world which was not dark but everything was pitch-black. I think Eckankar also talks about a black Plane which is a dividing line between the "Higher and lower Planes".

Mental Plane (Page 13 of 24)

2008-11-12T16:47:00.004+13:00

According to the Religion Eckankar the Mental Plane is the heaven or paradise of most orthodox Religions. This is where our Mental body resides therefore it is not a permanent Heaven as pointed out in the Eckankar scriptures which teach: "The Religions do not know that life in the lower Worlds is temporary." (Shariyat-Ki-Sugmad 2:110) Here one must learn to have perfect control of the mind because the Quality of our thoughts will drag us down or lift us up in this world. ("Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."-Jesus; Bible: Saint Matthew 5:28. Also "As he thinketh in his heart so is he."-King Solomon (Bible; Proverbs 23:7)

Higher Astral Plane (Page 14 of 24)

2008-11-11T16:52:00.006+13:00

That there are in fact many Planes in the Spirit World is taught by Jesus in the Bible where He says; "In my Father's House are many Mansions."(John 14:2) I believe Theosophy refers to the Higher Astral Plane when it mentions the Summerland of the Spiritualists. The Ascended Masters point out, with regards to the Theosophical Society, that Madam Blavatsky brought forth the first idea of the Masters to the Western world and went through such crucifixion as few endure but it has anchored the thought and feeling in the Western world, that there are Those Who are called Masters. The Masters Kuthumi and Morya El undertook a great fundamental work by releasing to the world what Light was permissible in the beginning of the Theosophical Society. They were not then Ascended but since have become Ascended Masters.

In his book "Heaven and Hell" the angels teach Emanuel Swedenborg: "In the spiritual world, the heavens are in the loftiest regions... From time to time the heavens are seen as heavy clouds or as bright clouds... The only access to an angelic community is by a narrow way and its beginning is similarly guarded... The doors and gates to heavenly communities are not visible, except to people who have become ready for heaven; other people do not find them... There are three heavens quite distinct from each other- an inmost or third heaven, an intermediate or second, and an outmost or first... The more inward reaches of a person, too, the regions of his inner and outer mind, are arranged in a similar design... The third or inmost heaven is called celestial... the second or intermediate heaven is called spiritual... the outmost or first heaven is called natural... There is an "inner" and an "outer" to each heaven. People in the "outer" are called "outer" angels. People who are in the inmost heaven have their third or inmost level opened, their second and and first levels closed. Since for angels of the inmost heaven the more inward elements are opened on the third level, their perfection vastly exceeds the perfection of angels in the intermediate heaven, whose inward elements are opened on the second level... This distinctiveness means that an angel of one heaven cannot have access to angels of another heaven... but when (as often happens) the Lord raises people from a lower heaven to a higher one to see the glory there, it is different. In such cases they are prepared first... In heaven, there are two distinct loves- love for the Lord and love toward the neighbour. Love for the Lord dwells in the inmost or third heaven; love towards the neighbour dwells in the second or intermediate heaven."

Astral Plane (Page 15 of 24)

2008-11-10T17:00:00.003+13:00

The Solar-Plexus chakra is the Doorway to the Astral Plane, or Emotional-Plane, which is also the home of our Astral body or Emotional body. The lowest Astral levels are referred to as hell. According to the angels who took Emmanuel Swedenborg into the Spirit World there is "no fallen angel presiding over hell known as Satan". They say; "the Devil and Satan there mean hell." ("Heaven and Hell " p469) On the other hand apparently the angels see a Celestial Sun or Moon, which can also appear clouded over, always before them. This they call the Lord & It is seen differently according to the higher or lower degrees of the angels. The Lord can also appear as an Angel. The angels also teach Swedenborg "(Overall) Heaven is divided into two kingdoms, one called the Celestial kingdom. The Heavens they make up are called the... Higher Heavens. The Light in the Celestial Kingdom looks fiery as the Sun. The Light of the Spiritual Kingdom is white as the Moon... The Angels who make up the Lord's Celestial Kingdom live for the most part in the higher regions that look like mountains rising from the earth... All Clergymen belong to the Lord's Spiritual Kingdom none to the Celestial Kingdom." (See "Heaven and Hell" by Emmanuel Swedenborg) (In the Bible we read; "There are... Celestial Bodies, and Bodies Terrestrial: but the glory of the Celestial is one, and the glory of the Terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the Sun, and another glory of the Moon, and another glory of the Stars... The first man is of the earth, earthly: the second Man is the Lord from Heaven."(1 Corinthians 15:40-41,47) The devils of hell are mankind because we are living in these Inner Worlds right now. Our location on the Astral Plane will depend on the quality of our thoughts & feelings or emotions. Negative feelings or desires such as hate, anger, fear, ("Fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in Love."-1 John 4:18) lust, criticism, etc will draw us down to the lower levels. In the Inner Worlds, birds of a feather flock together, or in other words, like attracts like.

Contrary to what the orthodox Christian Priests would have us believe no one has to remain in hell for eternity. No God of Love & Mercy would allow such a thing. The Divine Love of God, or the Christ, always resides in our Hearts no matter what we have done or no matter where we are. This means that even in the depths of hell we can still learn to feel the Divine Love of God in our Hearts thus opening up a Doorway from hell to Heaven. In the Apostle Paul's epistle to the Romans he says: "I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, ...nor height, nor depth... shall be able to separate us from the Love of God."(Romans 8;39 Bible) The Apostle Peter teaches that "Christ... being put to death in the flesh but quickened by the Spirit... went and preached unto the spirits in prison which sometime were disobedient... in the days of Noah... For this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit."(1 Peter 3:18-20, & 4:6) After death all spirits eventually progress up from the Astral Plane. According to Emmanuel Swedenborg spirits immediately after death go to a Spirit World resembling the physical world they have been living in which is neither a hell nor a heaven. I believe this is sometimes referred to as purgatory. Here they are prepared to move on up to a heaven or paradise temporarily. According to the Ascended Masters there are no gradations of the Astral or psychic world. It is one element which is wholly destructive. It contains nothing of the Christ because it is simply the accumulation of discordantly qualified energy released into the atmosphere by the vicious thoughts, words, feelings and actions of human beings both embodied and disembodied. At some time in the future the Astral or psychic world will be forever dissolved from this earth.

Cremation vs. Burial (Page 16 of 24)

2008-11-09T15:31:00.002+13:00

Thru the practice of burial I believe some spirits will go to the Astral Plane where hell is located. A secret way to avoid this dangerous lower Plane is thru cremation which destroys the Physical, Etheric and Astral bodies of the individual enabling these spirits to travel quickly up into a Higher Plane or Octave of Light.

Higher Physical Plane (Page 17 of 24)

2008-11-08T16:55:00.005+13:00

According to Theosophy this is known as the Etheric Plane where our Etheric body resides. This is the first Inner Spirit World. At the death of our Physical body the Etheric body usually also begins to die however this can take some time so the Theosophical Society recommends cremation as a way to speed up this process. The Etheric Plane is not an Ascended Masters Octave of Light but it is still referred to as an Octave of light. The Ascended Masters teach there will be certain ones among the I AM Students for whom at the time of passing, not otherwise being able to complete the Ascension in this embodiment, the Purified Essence of the Physical body will be drawn up into the Etheric body. In this way they will be permitted to make the Ascension. That Assistance or Gift of Love is the most Magnificent Thing ever offered to mankind by Life. This Assistance will make it possible for thousands and thousands in the world to be set Free from the earth forever, who would otherwise require another embodiment. In all the experiences of the Ages never has such a thing been permitted by Life.

Secret Retreats

The Ascended Masters teach that there are many Retreats throughout the world. In fact, in every country there are some. No one can ever go to those Retreats in the physical body except by the Ascended Master's Escort and Invitation of the Ascended Master who is in charge of each Retreat. Almost all these Retreats are in the highest peak of each mountain range with the exception perhaps of Shamballa in the south-central part of the Gobi Desert. According to Joanna Cherry in her book "Living Mastery" (p12) "In America there are two major Ascended Master Retreats. One is in the Grand Teton mountains near Jackson Hole, Wyoming (specifically Mt Moron) and the other is in the great lone mountain Mt Shasta, in far northern California. Another major Retreat is Shambhala..."As I understand it, the reason these Retreats are so inaccessable is because they exist on the Higher Physical Plane or Etheric Plane.

Earths in the Universe

This Higher Physical Plane is the Doorway, not only to these secret Retreats but also to life on other planets such as Venus. Eckankar teaches that the next evolutionary step for this earth is to become like Venus. Emmanuel Swedenborg wrote a book called "Earths in the Universe." In it he talks about being shown the people who live on the other planets in our Solar System and also some other earths in other parts of the Universe. Regarding the planet Venus he says: "I was informed... that the greater part of those inhabitants are giants." In the Mormon Church's Book of Moses (In the Pearl of Great Price) we read: "And he beheld many lands; and each land was called earth, and there were inhabitants on the face thereof. (1:29) And the Lord God said unto Moses (1:31) And worlds without number have I created (1:33) For behold, there are many worlds that have passed away...And there are many that now stand, and innumerable are they unto man."(1:35)

In the book "My Flight to Venus" by Dana Howard she talks about her visit to the planet Venus. There she is taught: "Agelessness was a characteristic with all the Venusians. (p13) Man possesses the God Potential. (p14) Only in Truth is there Freedom. (p15) The spiral (energy of Spirit) is ever onward and upward. (p16) Here on Venus we are taught the principles of Immortality.(p23) A massive golden dome...the Temple of Venus...Immortal...High on a mountain top. (p27) People are Golden in the depths of themselves. The civilizations that come and go pass from planet to planet in their upward progression. Some day the planet Earth will inherit the glories known to us. (p29) Step by step each and every planet in the broad universal system must climb "the Golden Stairs" ...Your America is the hope of your planet...(p30) There is a bit of Gold in every Heart. (p32) Here on Venus we have but one Religion... the Religion of Love. (p35) There are many Contact Points on the planet Earth. Points of ingress and egress from planet to planet. Your Great Desert is one of them. Superstition Mountain is another... Here the fragmentary remains of great continental histories are stored in secret archives...(p37) Our Love is a Star that will Light our Pathway through all the Realms Celestial...(p51) Love is the same everywhere when the Door to one's Heart is open...(p60) My trip to Venus was over.(p64) I interloaned this book from Trinity Colledge Library, Colledge Street, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Benjamin Creme, who claims to represent the Master Maitreya, was asked the question: "After reading your information regarding so-called UFOs being from Mars and Venus, I wonder how this can be possible. The surface temperature of Venus is over 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Mars has been photographed by satellite for a number of years and recent probes have found no sign of life...Answer: The Physical Plane, as understood by our scientists, has three levels only, solid, liquid and gaseous physical. In fact, it has seven levels, the top four being Etheric, and to our sight invisible. To Martians, Venusians and other Space Brothers, they are not only visible but are their normal, Physical Level of being. The UFO vehicles are also made of Etheric energy and would normally be invisible; but they do lower the vibration of the atoms of the vehicles to bring them in range of our sight. This is a temporary manifestation only." (Share International Magazine, September, 2007) The Mighty Ascended Master Victory teaches that He came forth from His Great Planet of Complete Freedom, Venus to dwell in our earth. When the Earth is cleansed, permanently harmonized the Kumaras, including the Great Presence Sanat Kumara, will return to Their Home on Venus. In Theosophy Leadbeater talks about the hidden meaning behind some of the symbolism found in the Biblical King Solomon's Temple: "Referring to King Solomon's temple... the two great pillars... at the... entrance... were Tat... and Tattu. (p58) In Tat the lilies represented always the flower of humanity. Arranged in line around the edge of the disc they indicated the Great White Brotherhood -the jewels in the crown of mankind, hovering above the human race and directing its evolution. The four pendant flower-chains symbolized the Holy Four who reside at Shamballa -the Spiritual King and His three pupil-assistants, the sole representatives on earth of the Lords of the Flame who came down long ago from Venus to hasten the evolution of mankind." (p58,68 "The Hidden Life in Freemasonry" by C. W. Leadbeater) The Lord Maha Chohan teaches that the physical Sun's own great Sacred Fire Presence grows greater and the Light and the Love which It gives, one day, makes every planet in this System a Sun. Perfection in Life is ever expanding. In the Mormon Church they are taught that the Name of God the Father is Elohim & that He is a Resurrected Master like Jesus. "As man now is, God once was; as God is now man may be."-Lorenzo Snow (Fifth Prophet of the Mormon Church.)

There are in fact Seven Mighty Elohim Who are the Seven Mighty Builders from our Physical Sun. They are all Ascended Masters or Cosmic Beings. White Eagle in his book "Wisdom From White Eagle" teaches: The seven primary colours and the seven Rays (are) used by the Elohim, the "Silent Watchers", each at the head of His own particular Ray."(p59)

I believe our Sun is a Celestial World or Heaven and I believe the Great Central Sun, which It revolves around, is an even Higher Celestial World or Heaven seen as a Star because It is so far away. In the book "Beyond the Himalayas" by Murdo MacDonald Bayne the Geshi Tung La of the Takohu Monastery talks about; "the majestic Angels of the Sun-world." In the Mormon Church's scriptures (Doctrine & Covenants 130:4-11) Joseph Smith teaches: "Is not the reckoning of... angel's time... and man's time, according to the planet on which they reside? I answer, Yes. But there are no angels who minister to this earth but those who do belong or have belonged to it. The angels do not reside on a planet like this earth; But they reside in the presence of God, on a globe like a sea of glass and fire (See Revelation 15:2 Bible) where all things for there glory are manifest, past, present, and future... This earth in it's sanctified and immortal state, will be made like unto crystal... Then the white stone, mentioned in Revelation 2:17, will become a Urim and Thummim to each individual who receives one, whereby things pertaining to a higher order of kingdoms will be made known; And a white stone is given to each of those who come into the Celestial Kingdom." The prophet Brigham Young taught; "So it is with regard to the "inhabitants of the Sun". Do you think it is inhabited? I rather think it is. Do you think there is any life there? No question of it; it was not made in vain. It was made to give light to those who dwell upon it, and to other planets; and so will this earth when it is Celestialized." ("Journal of Discourses", Vol. 13:271) Also see the Prophet Joseph Fielding Smith's "Doctrines of Salvation", Vol. 1, p88 "Earth to be Celestialized Sun") The Ascended Masters point out that the Temples of the Sacred Fire in the Electronic Belts around the Physical Sun and the Great Central Sun are the individual Powerhouses, so to speak, of the Ascended Masters or Cosmic Beings. Mighty Beloved Helios is the Great Cosmic Being Who directs the Activity of our Physical Sun. Because we have come from the Great Central Sun & the Central Sun this is our Home where we must one day return to. The Ascended Masters teach that the Great Central Sun from which all proceeds is the Heart of God, and the great Cause of all creation is the Mighty I AM Presence in the Great Central Sun. As I understand it there is an Inner & an outer correspondence to all things. Therefore the more Spiritually evolved a person is on the Inner the greater the Spiritual manifestation on the outer can be. When we become Celestial Angels on the Inner we can become Celestial Angels on the outer. Because our inner correspondence now is with our human mind & emotions we manifest a mortal body. When our Inner correspondence is with our Divine Mind & Divine Emotions we can then manifest a Divine Immortal Body. Then we can continue to live here or on some other suitable planet or Star.

Physical Plane (Page 18 of 24)

The Beloved Ascended Master Himalaya teaches that the Purpose of Life is the Attainment of the Ascension. The Ascension process must be started from the Physical Plane so it is essential to learn & use the Spiritual Keys freely given by the Ascended Masters in their Teachings. In the book "The Nine Freedoms" by George King from the Aetherius Society we read: "ASCENSION. Freedom from rebirth... When this state has been reached the Adept... may then choose whether or not he will remain upon Terra [Earth] in order to render Service, or whether he will go onward to an introduction into the experience cycle of another Planet... A special Initiation is then afforded to the Adept who chooses to remain upon Terra and he is then Initiated into the Great White Brotherhood... It is the birthright of every lifestream upon terra to enjoy the highest form of Initiation upon Terra-ASCENSION. (IT IS THE GREATEST, MOST WONDERFUL PROMISE EVER MADE IN THE ANNALS OF PHILOSOPHICAL HISTORY! -George King) The top of the mountain is -ASCENSION... The shortest distance which Terrestrial man can take is the distance which is covered by the journey deep within; but it takes him longer to travel those relatively few millimeters than any other journey he will ever have to make. By perseverance, by Truth, by effort, by the radiation of Love, by Service in every form, he can make this journey and stand upon the rock of-ASCENSION."-A Lord of Karma ("The Nine Freedoms" by George King; p105-108)

The Truth Shall Make You Free (Page 19 of 24)

2008-11-06T14:46:00.004+13:00

In the Bible we read "that no prophecy of the scriptures is of any private interpretation"(2 Peter 1:20) and yet most of the many different Christian Religions privately interpret the scriptures thus they all disagree with one another as to the meaning of the same scriptures. Most of these interpretations come to us thru the Priests. In the Mormon Church they claim to have a living Prophet & 12 Apostles giving them a more reliable interpretation of the scriptures. For example in the King James Version of the Bible Jesus says; "Behold, the Kingdom of God is Within you."(Saint Luke 17:21) In "Joseph Smith's Translation of the Bible" he changes it to read; "Behold the Kingdom of God has already come unto you" thus totally changing the Divine meaning of this statement into something which better suits the Mormon Church's doctrine. In the Bible Saint Paul teaches: "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God." (1 Corinthians 3:16)

Prophets vs. Masters

Jesus was a Christian Master making His Words more reliable than the Prophets of the Old Testament.

Masters vs. Ascended Masters

Even amongst the Masters there are higher and lower orders of Mastery. The Ascended Masters point out that there is a vast difference between what mankind understands as Masters and what the Ascended Beings are to the life in this world. Those Masters who have attained even a very great degree of wisdom but have not yet raised the atomic body, can and sometimes do color what they give out by their own personal concept; for no one becomes infallible until he functions in his Electronic Body, or the "Body of Pure Light", where no contamination or personal concept can exist. In this day and Age Beloved Jesus teaches: "You have all been told "With all thy getting, get understanding. "You cannot have Mastery without Ascended Master Understanding." Jesus first became a Mastermind as He refers to Himself in "The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ" by Levi. After His Resurrection He became a Resurrected Master which is an even higher order of Master. After His Ascension He became an Ascended Master which is a higher order of Master again.

According to the Ascended Masters the "Bible only contains about 30% of the Truth". This is why it is important to turn to the Ascended Masters for the other 70% of the Truth otherwise the orthodox Christians of today will be left behind in their Spiritual evolution just as the orthodox Pharisees & Sadducees were left behind 2000 years ago. Many of us I believe rely on a Spiritual yardstick to measure whether something taught is true or not. If the yardstick is not accurate then we cannot determine what else is true. Many people use the Bible as their Spiritual yardstick however if it only contains about 30% of the Truth then it cannot be used as a reliable Spiritual measuring stick. I prefer to use the Ascended Masters Teachings as my Spiritual yardstick then one can recognize the Golden Thread of Truth running thru all Religions. "The Truth shall make you Free"-Jesus (Saint John 8:32) or as Theosophy teaches: "There is no Religion higher than Truth." Beloved Jesus teaches in this day and Age; "I say to the orthodox world... Those who cannot accept Saint Germain and the Ascended Masters, will not have My Radiation!... In former Ages it was not possible to bring forth the clearness of this Understanding which Saint Germain has brought forth today! The Law of the Cosmic Light did not permit it! I brought forth to the world more of the "I AM," than any individual up to the time, when Saint Germain brought this Instruction forth." According to Beloved Guy W. Ballard there is not a human being on this planet who can gain Freedom today without calling to the Ascended Masters.

Old Occult Methods

At the beginning of this New Dispensation, or I AM Activity, on this earth thru Saint Germain, the Mighty Ascended Master Victory, Who gained His Ascension hundreds of thousands of centuries ago, issued the Mighty Fiat for the world dismissing forever the old occult methods for the earth. The Ascended Master Saint Germain asks, did you ever see anyone go forth in the understanding of Metaphysical-Law who won any permanent success? The reason for it is this, they have no foundation, they have no anchorage, which is the "Mighty I AM Presence!" otherwise it is a fluctuating foundation which knows no landing spot. In my last Religion Eckankar we went thru a series of Initiations which related to the Higher and lower Planes. Thus one slowly, over many years, works their way up thru the Initiations. These involved receiving a Mantra on the Inner or the outer such as HU. Apparently Paul Twitchell, the founder of Eckankar in this day & Age, was a 5th Initiate in his past life then when he was re-embodied he became a 14th Initiate known to Eckists as the Mahanta, the Living Eck Master. According to the Goddess of Light in the past people were made to believe they could not receive the Greater Activity of Life, the Power of Life, unless they went thru training and Initiation. Never in the history of the earth was such an Initiation going on as among the "I AM" Students today.

The Left-hand Path (Page 20 of 24)

2008-11-05T15:29:00.004+13:00

The Left-hand path to me symbolizes travelling up thru the Inner worlds in a negative state of consciousness and perhaps becoming a black magician. To me C. W. Leadbeater from the Theosophical Society refers to the Left-hand path when he teaches: "The path of the moon is said to typify the life of the ordinary man who clings to objects of desire and parts with them reluctantly at death. After a period in the astral and heavenly worlds he returns to earth to repeat the process. It is the path of rebirth after intervals." (p275 "The Hidden Life in Freemasonry" by C. W. Leadbeater)
In the Bible Paul the Apostle writes an epistle to the Romans in which he points out that "to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace."(Romans 8;6) Also Saint John the Divine teaches us: "To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the Tree of Life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God... He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the Second Death."(Revelation 2:7,11) The Second Death is considered by some to be the Death of their Inner body after the first death of their physical body which eventually leads to reincarnation. The Ascended Masters point out that it is in fact far more serious involving the removal of the outer identity of the personal self completely from existence which means that spirit has to begin the human cycle of Birth and Death all over again whereas most spirits re-embody progressing towards the Ascension. I should point out however; I am not suggesting that a spirit who travels up the left-hand path must pass thru the Second Death. They have the choice I believe to turn to the Light. What this means in the long run is that everyone will eventually gain the Resurrection and the Ascension it is simply a matter of time. "As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order."-Saint Paul (1 Corinthians 15:22-23 Bible) In fact we are amongst the slow ones. For example "Michael the Archangel" (Jude 1:9 Bible) is a Great Cosmic Being. Thousands of centuries ago He ruled in what is now America.

There are many who believe that Re-embodiment or Reincarnation means we have evolved from the animals therefore in the future we could regress back into an animal incarnation. You may be pleased to know this isn't true according to the Ascended Masters. Saint Germain teaches that the human Soul never evolves through the animal. The human Soul came directly from God. Therefore it could not have evolved out of the Group Soul of the animal. In "The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ" by Levi (52-53) when Jesus is residing in Tibet, before His mission in Jerusalem, He challenges a Mastermind by the name of Arabo concerning his belief that man can evolve through the animal kingdom. "And Jesus said, enlightened Arabo are you a Mastermind?... Do you remember Arabo when you were ape or bird or worm? ...Time never was when man was not." In "The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ" by Niccolas Natovitch (p36) "The Divine Issa (Jesus) taught the people... Never will He (God) humiliate His child (mankind) by causing his soul to emigrate... into the body of an animal. This account of Jesus' life and teachings in Jerusalem, India, Tibet and Persia is taken from two manuscripts read to Nicolas Natovitch by the lama of the Himis Convent which were translated from rolls belonging to the Lassa Library. These were placed in a Convent standing on Mount Marbour near Lassa. (p44) This version was originally recorded within three or four years after the death of Christ. (p45) Jesus visits and stays in foreign lands is an absolute certainty, as many ancient Essene documents verify this same account of events according to Frank J. Muccie Jr. (p5) In the book "Beyond the Himalayas" by Murdo MacDonald Bayne (p98) the Geshi Tung La claims to have records of the Master Jesus in Tibet and says He is still with them. According to the Bible Jesus teaches the people of Jerusalem: "Other sheep (disciples) I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd."(Saint John 10:16)
If mankind doesn't evolve thru the animal kingdom then how did we get here? According to "The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ" by Levi (p53) Jesus teaches that "The ethers all became more dense, and all the creatures of these Planes were clothed with coarser garbs, the garbs of flesh, which man can see; and thus this coarser manifest, which men call physical appeared. And this is what is called the fall of man; but man fell not alone, for... earth, and plant and beast were all included in the fall. The angels and the cherubim fell not; there wills were ever strong, and so they held the ethers of their Planes in harmony with God." I believe this is what the Bible means when it says: "These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created... And every plant of the field before it was in the earth... and man became a living soul." (Genesis 2:4-5,7)

Science vs. Religion

I know this isn't what Science teaches us however I do not believe Science has a perfect understanding of all things any more than Religion has a perfect understanding of all things. To me the Truth lies beyond them both however we should learn from both because to do otherwise is to throw the baby out with the bath water. It is better to look for the Golden Thread of Truth which runs thru all Religions and all Science. Pure Religion & pure Science go hand in hand.

Creation vs. Evolution

According to Science we all evolved naturally from animals over millions of years into humans. According to the Bible God created man & the animals in 6 days. But what if the Truth lies beyond both these theories. The Bible account of Adam & Eve I believe reveals to us our own individual history which stretches back more than 4 million years on this planet. The creation of Adam to me symbolizes our own creation out of the Great Central Sun as the White Fire Body of the I AM Presence. The creation of Eve from the body of Adam to me symbolizes the creation of our Twin-Rays or Male & Female Electronic Bodies of the I AM Presence in the Central Sun. When we manifested our lower selves onto this earth over 4 million years ago the earth was in a Celestial state referred to as the Garden of Eden in which "Adam and Eve" walked & talked to God. (Genesis 3:8-10)

Golden Age

According to the angels who taught Swedenborg: "The most ancient people were Celestial people and actually talked with angels. The Lord often appeared to them and taught them...(verse 87) Through them heaven was bonded to earth. On this account that era was called the Golden Age." ("Heaven & Hell" by Emmanuel Swedenborg. Verse 115) The Eastern teachings inform us we are living in the Kali Yuga or Iron Age & the earth used to be in the Satya Yuga or Golden Age. I believe the Prophet Joseph Fielding Smith, from the Mormon Church in one of his books entitled 'Doctrines of Salvation,' teaches that the earth used to be in a Celestial State until its fall and that it will be restored back to a Celestial State in the Future. According to the Ascended Masters there have been "six or more Golden Ages down through the centuries that were maintained for thousands of years with no destructive force and these people got the Ascension and then the civilization decayed. Atlantis was the sixth Golden Age however complete Perfection has never been reached on this earth since the second Golden Age. Animals were not in existence upon this planet during the first two Golden Ages! They only began to appear after humanity had generated the discord which followed those first two periods. (See p149-150 "The Magic Presence" by Godfre Ray King) Of all the vast civilizations which have come and gone the records of them still remain; and all mankind will one day have access to them and know all that has really been. The research of the outer world cannot possibly determine all that has gone before; but the records kept thruout four and a half million years, will show to mankind the Evidence and the Truth of all that has gone before. Some of these ancient civilizations include Atlantis, Lemuria and the civilization on the Hyperborean continent. I believe Lemuria is also referred to as the continent of MU. Everything in the Pacific was at one time part of the land of MU. In the book "Theosophy and the Seven Continents" by David Pratt he points out that H. P. Blavatsky writes: "We believe in the seven continents, four of which have already lived their day, the fifth still exists, and two are to appear in the future."("The Secret Doctrine" by H. P. Blavatsky 2:404) The first continent -the Imperishable Sacred Land -is the most mysterious of the seven continents... "This 'sacred land'... is stated never to have shared the fate of the other continents; because it is the only one whose destiny it is to last from the beginning to the end... It is the cradle of the first man, and the dwelling of the last divine mortal"(S. D. 2:6) Hyperborea: "The second Hyperborean continent"(S. D. 2:7, 11-12, 401, 775 and "Theosophical Glossary" by H. P. Blavatsky p147) Lemuria, the third continent embraced large areas of the Indian and Pacific oceans (S. D. 2:781) ...Australia is the largest relic of Lemuria (S. D. 2:314) and other fragments are the many islands in the Pacific; it also included a large portion of California. (S.D. 2:7, 328,788) Atlantis' main centre being located in what is now the Atlantic Ocean. (S.D. 2:402, 405) ...The Atlantic portion of Lemuria was... known as Atlantis. ("Theosophy and the Seven Continents" by David Pratt)

Two Trees in the Garden of Eden

In the Garden of Eden there were two Trees, the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and the Tree of Life. The LORD God teaches Adam & Eve concerning "the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil; thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."(Genesis 2:17) Thus we have represented what I have called "The Three-fold paths of Life and death." (See chart p1) The Left-hand path is the branch of evil. The Right-hand path is the branch of good on the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Both these paths lead to death or re-embodiment & mankind has gone thru hundreds and thousands of embodiments. The Secret Middle Path is the Tree of (Eternal) Life. In the book "Beyond the Himalayas" by Murdo MacDonald Bayne (p169) Geshi Tung La teaches: "The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil grows out of man's own mind while the Tree of Salvation-Life grows out of God, being Eternal and everpresent." When Adam and Eve partake of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil they are cast out of the Garden of Eden bringing about the Fall of man. If you have ever read the Bible you may have noticed that "all the days that Adam lived were 930 years: and he died."-Moses (Genesis 5:5) According to the Mighty Ascended Master Cuzco, Who I believe gained His Ascension over 1 million 400 thousand years ago, mankind has from Age to Age drawn the limit of physical life shorter and shorter; for it is not so long since you used to live 250 years in one embodiment; but you cut it down to three score years and ten. (Approximately 70 years) How and why? By greater and greater density due to more and more discord in the feeling. To me the "Fall of man symbolizes" our turning away from our Mighty I AM Presence thus bringing about our Fall from Grace and the Fall of the earth with us. The Ascended Masters teach that after nearly 3 million years mankind is responding from its downward trend. Considering we are responsible for the Fall of the earth we are therefore responsible for its Resurrection & Ascension back up into a permanent Golden Age. Thus the earth will become a Celestial World as described by Saint John the Divine in the Bible: "And I saw a... New Earth: for the first... earth (was) passed away: and there was no more sea... God... will dwell with... His people... And there shall be no more death... And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the Glory of God did lighten it... There shall be no night there... Blessed are they... that... have right to the Tree of Life."(Revelation Chapters 21-22)

Second Coming

In the last book of the Bible's Old Testament, Zechariah apparently gives a prophecy concerning the Second Coming of Jesus to the Jews in Jerusalem: "And the LORD my God shall come, and all the Saints with Thee. (14:5) And they shall look upon me whom they have pierced (12:10) And one shall say unto Him, What are these wounds in Thine hands? Then He shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of My friends. (13:6) In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem."(Zechariah 12:11) Benjamin Creme declares that "the Hierarchy of Masters is returning to the world for the first time in 98,000 years." (Share International, September, 2006) The Ascended Masters teach that the United States of America as a Nation shall Ascend into the Octave-of-Light's Activity which brings in the full Perfection of the Golden Age. This will provide the conditions for the return of Jesus and the other Ascended Masters to move among mankind as in the Golden Ages of the past to teach the people and help raise them into their Eternal Freedom of the Ascension.

The Right-hand Path (Page 21 of 24)

2008-11-04T15:43:00.007+13:00

After so called death some spirits will initially find themselves in the Astral Plane or the Mental Plane until they pass into the Higher Mental Plane & prepare for their reincarnation or re-embodiment. To me C. W. Leadbeater from the Theosophical Society refers to the Right-hand path when he teaches: "The path of the sun is that of the occult aspirant, the man of spiritual desires, who values life only for what it can give to the higher Self in others as well as himself. He is also reborn, but usually without an interval, or after a very short one." (p275 "The Hidden Life in Freemasonry" by C. W. Leadbeater Contrary to what the orthodox Christian priests have taught mankind, we will not be able to gain the Resurrection by simply believing in Jesus. It is not something simply handed out to everyone on a silver platter at the end of this life or at the Second Coming of Jesus. Jesus teaches that "not everyone that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in Heaven. Many will say unto Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy Name? and in Thy Name cast out devils? and in Thy Name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity."(Saint Matthew 7:21-23)

The orthodox Christians interpretation of the Bible is usually like looking at the sun and assuming it revolves around the earth because that seems to be obvious. However, just as we have come to Realise that the sun does not actually revolve around the earth at all, sooner or later orthodox Christians will Realise some of their interpretations of the Bible are completely wrong. As our point of view is raised to a higher Spiritual level we see things differently just as an adult tends to see things completely different to a child. For example, a child may be totally unaware of the dangers of this world including death. In a similar way most orthodox-Christians are totally unaware of the danger of Re-embodiment or Reincarnation and if you are unaware of it how can you avoid it. Remember, just because many children are taught and therefore believe that Santa Claus brings their presents down the chimney does not change the Truth and sooner or later they will all Realise that what they had been taught was not true. Perhaps you may think; There are billions of Christians on this earth who believe as I do! We cannot all be wrong! Think again. There is no Spiritual safety in numbers. The Truth does not change simply because billions of Christians do not believe in It. In the Bible when Jesus & His disciples come across a man born blind His disciples ask Jesus why he was born blind. "Master who did sin, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"(Saint John 9:2) This suggests Jesus' disciples believed in Re-embodiment by implying the blind man may have sinned in a Past Life. In "The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ" by Levi (p187-8) we read: "And Peter said, Lord, if disease and imperfections all are caused by sin, who was the sinner in this case? the parents or the man himself? And Jesus said... Behold this man! Once in another life he was a cruel man, and in a cruel way destroyed the eyes of one, a fellow man. The parents of this man once turned their faces on a blind and helpless man, and drove him from their door." Incidentally re-embodiment was I think the most difficult principle for me to accept as I made the transition from orthodox Christianity to the Teachings of the Masters. In the Bible Jesus teaches the people; "Enter in at the Strait Gate for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction and many there be which go in thereat."(Saint Matthew 7:13) He also teaches; "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own Soul?"(Saint Matthew 16:26) Some of those individuals who oppose the Teachings of the Ascended Masters today are the same ones who opposed Jesus' Teachings 2000 years ago.

George King from the Aetherius Society teaches: "Reincarnation is in the eyes of the great Masters, not a theory, but an essential part of Divine Truth, an aspect which, sooner or later, must be taught by every major Religion on Earth... Not for very much longer can the orthodox leaders of the Christian Religion suppress the existence of Truth regarding reincarnation." ("The Nine Freedoms" p111)

The Secret Middle Path to Eternal Life(Page22of24)

2008-11-03T16:09:00.003+13:00

To me the Secret Middle Path is the Golden Path or the Golden Stairs leading up to Eternal Life. I believe C. W. Leadbeater from the Theosophical society is referring to the Secret Middle Path when he teaches: "The path of fire is the path of ascension, from which there is no longer any rebirth under the law of necessity." (p275 "The Hidden Life in Freemasonry" by C. W. Leadbeater) Ideally one should raise their physical body up into Heaven as Jesus did. "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death."-Saint Paul (1 Corinthians 15:26) After His Resurrection "Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. And He said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself: handle Me, and see: for A SPIRIT HATH NOT FLESH AND BONES, AS YE SEE ME HAVE... He said unto them, Have ye here any meat? And they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish, and of a honeycomb. And He took it, and did eat before them... And He lead them out as far as to Bethany... and it came to pass, while He blessed them, He was parted from them, and carried up into Heaven." (Saint Luke 24:36-51) However because only about one person a year has been gaining the Ascension up until the 1930's the I AM Students have been given a New-Dispensation enabling them to gain the Ascension at the close of this embodiment. As I understand it this involves drawing the essence of the Physical body up into the Etheric body, then drawing the Etheric body up into the Higher Mental Body thus becoming a Resurrected Master. When the Higher Mental Body is then drawn up into the I AM Presence one becomes an Ascended Master Who is Eternally Free from the human Cycle of Birth and Death. Jesus demonstrated this process by first raising His physical body from the tomb & appearing to Mary as a Resurrected Master & He says to her "Touch me not; for I am not yet Ascended to My Father."(Saint John 20:17 Bible) After 40 days He Ascended up into Heaven in front of 500 people thus becoming an Ascended Master.

Marriage in Heaven?

According to the Bible after the Resurrection there are Celestial bodies and Terrestrial bodies. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints commonly known as the Mormon Church, which incidentally I belonged to for about 15 years, teaches that there is also a lower heaven known as the Telestial Kingdom. Within the Celestial Kingdom they teach there are three Degrees of Glory. The Celestial is like the Sun, the terrestrial is like the Moon & the Telestial is like the Stars in their brightness. The Mormon Church also teaches that all mankind need to be married in their temples in order to enter into the highest Degree of the Celestial Kingdom of Heaven. I do not believe this is true except in a symbolic way because we must all enter into the Holy Union with our Higher Self in order to enter permanently into the Celestial Kingdom of Soul. In the Bible Jesus teaches that "the children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that World, and the Resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage." (Saint Luke 20:34-35) In the Real Higher Heavens our Souls already have a Soul-Mate or Twin-Ray. We cannot be married to someone else's Soul-Mate or Twin-Ray for Eternity. Saint Germain points out that the Goddess of Justice is the Feminine Part of Himself.

Higher and lower Planes (Page 23 of 24)

2008-11-02T17:21:00.003+13:00

In the Bible (Luke 16:19-31) Jesus tells the story about Lazarus and the Rich man. Lazarus is a beggar full of sores begging at the gate of a rich man. Lazarus dies & is carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom (Paradise) & the rich man dies & goes to hell. From hell the rich man cries out to Abraham for help but he is unable to help him. Abraham points out that “between us and you there is a great gulf fixed.” Realizing the predicament he has got himself into the rich man is then concerned for his family back on earth so they don’t end up in hell also. He asks if one from the dead could be sent to warn them. Abraham points out that even if one rose from the dead they still wouldn’t be persuaded. You will notice on my chart entitled "The Three-fold Paths of Life and Death" (See p1) there are a series of Higher and lower Planes. For most people these represent great gulfs which they cannot easily cross because of their different states of consciousness or Higher & lower frequencies. In the book "Heaven and Hell" (p51-52) we read: "Since for angels of the inmost heaven the more inward elements are opened on the third level, their perfection vastly exceeds the perfection of angels in the intermediate heaven, whose inward elements are opened on the second level... This distinctiveness means that an angel of one heaven cannot have access to angels of another heaven... but when (as often happens) the Lord raises people from a lower heaven to a higher one to see the glory there, it is different. In such cases they are prepared first." It is however possible to cross these great gulfs so long as we are taught how which means that no one needs to stay in hell or a lower Plane. Everyone eventually Spiritually progresses up from the lower planes to the Higher Planes. These huge gulfs are symbolized to me by seeing a Sun, Moon, Star or Planet in the Inner Sky which creates the Illusion of there being a huge gulf or distance between you & this Higher World or Higher Plane. Within the individual Planes I believe the angels or more Spiritually advanced spirits dwell on higher ground, symbolizing a higher plane, such as a hill or a mountain while the less spiritually advanced spirits dwell on the lower ground, symbolizing the lower planes, such as valleys, caves or under worlds as taught in "Heaven and Hell" by Emmanuel Swedenborg (p507-514) Therefore a basic rule is that travelling upwards leads towards Heaven, travelling downwards leads towards hell. “Strait is the Gate and narrow is the Way which leadeth unto Life and Few there be that find It.”-Jesus (Saint Matthew 7:13 Bible)

Dream Worlds

One of the secrets of Life, which many are not aware of, is that these Inner Planes, or these Spirit Worlds, are in fact the Dream Worlds which we all visit every night thru our dreams in our spirit bodies. These sometimes seem so real because they are real worlds, at least as real as this physical world only made up of Finer Matter or Atoms. One can learn to dream fully awake as we are in this physical world. This is known as Lucid Dreaming & becomes a form of out of body experience or Soul Travel. Because the Dream Worlds are the Spirit Worlds we can be visited or we can visit with loved ones, the so called dead, Angels & Masters. This is why it was possible for "the angel of the Lord (to) appeareth to Joseph in a dream" and to also warn the Magi, or Wise men, "in a dream."(Saint Matthew 2:13,12) Technically speaking I do not believe we actually Astral Travel or Soul Travel from this Physical Plane to another Plane. In Reality we already live in these other Planes right now in our Inner bodies so by shifting our consciousness to our Inner body, as we naturally all do every night in our sleep, we can become aware of our existence in the Inner Worlds. Therefore when we die we are already living in the Spirit World however after so called death this becomes our outer reality.

Illusion vs. Reality

As we watched the Illusion of the Sun revolving around the earth every day it was easy for us to believe in this Illusion, as orthodox Christianity taught us during the Dark Ages, until someone enlightened us. It may appear to us that we are a body with a Soul however in Reality We are an Eternal Soul with a body. It may appear to us that this Physical world is real & the Inner Worlds are only a dream or a fantasy. When we die we will all see eventually that the Higher Inner Worlds are the Real Eternal Worlds. In Reality I believe there is only the Eternal Now. Contrary to what Science Fiction depicts I do not believe the Past and the Future co-exist in the Now, or present moment, suggesting we could therefore travel backwards or forwards in Time physically. I do however believe it is possible to experience or see the past & the future probabilities, just not literally go there. According to Geshi Dar Tsang; "'Now' is Eternity; there is no such thing as Time in the Ever-Present. The Past and the Future do not exist outside man's mind." ("Beyond the Himalayas" by Murdo MacDonald Bayne, p88) This means that there is only the Eternal Now which encompasses all the Inner and the outer Universe. The Past is a Memory & the Future is a Probability except for the Pre-destined mile stones along the Way such as the Resurrection and the Ascension which eventually we must all reach. Practically this indicates we must work out our Salvation Now, not with "fear and trembling" as the orthodox priests would have us believe but with Divine Love & Courage as we become Masters of our own Destiny.
