The Ascension

  "And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither.
And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud."
—Rev. 11:12  

 

   The ascension marks the conclusion of the path of personal Christhhood. It is a spiritual ritual whereby the soul that has mastered the earth plane is liberated from the rounds of rebirth and can move on into the octaves of light. One who has passed through this initiation is known as an ascended master. References to ascended masters and to those who have who have achieved the spiritual rank of buddhas, gods and goddesses can be found in all of the world's religions. In the Bible, references to the ascension are made in the case of Enoch, Elijah. Moses and Jesus. In the Catholic tradition, Mother Mary's ascension is described as the assumption. In the East, the ascension often precedes or follows the spiritual threshold known as nirvana.

   Many souls have ascended from the physical plane, though unlike Jesus, the process took place after the physical death of the body in the etheric retreats. These ascended souls are like elder brothers and sisters on the path of personal Christhood and Buddhahood. They made it home and are leading us back. People who have had near death experiences testify of these beings of light who greet and instruct them, also referred to as the Sons of the Firstborn, the Great White Brotherhood, and the Saints Robed in White.

   Throughout history, ascended masters who operate just beyond the veil of time and space in higher spheres of consciousness have contacted souls on earth for definite purposes. In this century, their work was brought forth through Theosophy, Agni Yoga, the Bridge to Freedom, the Rosicrucian Fellowship, the Self Realization Fellowship and The Summit Lighthouse. (This is completely different from the psychic channeling of disembodied spirits, false hierarchy impostors and mischievous elementals who have not achieved permanent reunion with God. Such activities are not condoned on the path of true mysticism sponsored by the ascended masters.)

   The ascended masters work with us at the level of our Christ consciousness and do not descend below that level. At the level of the Christ, we are one with them, one body of God broken for many through the individuation of each God flame.

 Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus,
which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner
as ye have seen him go into heaven.
—Acts 1:11
