Introduction

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)

 
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.

Tree Of Life (Page 3 of 24)



Instructions: Click on diagram to enlarge it's size.

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)



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)

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)
 
Jesus on Hill


 
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". 
Salt Lake City LDS Temple
 

 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."
