Doubt, Debris, and Deleterious Concepts and Sanctity
“The present outpouring of vicious hatred between brothers the world around, manifesting as warfare and wanton murder, bears witness to the lack of influence which the major religions of the world have had upon the people. Men’s motives and acts bear testimony to the fact that in all the times that have passed, that which has endured is the paltry manifestation of commercialization. Did not the Apostle Paul clearly state, “The love of money is the root of all evil”? Behind the screen of the manifestations of war, then, are always the corruptible gains which men who cover themselves with the veil of sanctity often put forth in complete denial of the virtuous claims they make for themselves.
If the world does not soon awaken from its lethargy and communion with error, if it does not soon break through into the octaves of light and the realm of the ascended masters to perceive cosmic truth, the awful charades in which men now engage themselves will culminate in a holocaust of frightful destruction.
We are giving out our Dossier on the Ascension at this time in order that the faithful who receive it and transmit it to others may have the benefit of our thoughts, our feelings, and our release of the ascension flame into tangible manifestation.” - Serapis Bey

Sir Thomas More
Sir Thomas More (1478–1535), saint, statesman, scholar, and author, was an incarnation of El Morya. See the video that shows what our Beloved El Morya is made of. A true model for all of us.

Sir Thomas More served as Lord Chancellor of England under King Henry VIII. He was given the choice to serve God’s will or man’s will. More discharged his duties wisely and well, but was beheaded because he failed to support the king in his departure from the laws of the Church regarding his marriage to Ann Boleyn.
Sir Thomas devoted himself to his duties with utmost zeal until Henry, desirous of but lacking a male heir to the throne, declared his marriage to Catherine of Aragon null and announced his intent to marry Ann Boleyn. Since the divorce was without Papal approval and directly opposed to the laws of the Church, More refused to support the king’s decision. He resigned his office and retired to Chelsea, where, greatly concerned with the heresies of Luther’s revolt, he continued his writings in defense of the Catholic faith.
Without friends and without office, More and his family lived in abject poverty. Nevertheless, Henry had been insulted at the chancellor’s public disapproval of him. The king, therefore, sought to defame More and thus restore his royal image. When Sir Thomas clearly refused to give the oath of supremacy to Henry as head of the new Church of England, he was imprisoned in the dread Tower of London. Badgered by the king’s lawyers, More staunchly refused to compromise the position of the Church but diplomatically avoided direct accusation of the king, thereby saving his life and remaining a testimony to Henry’s sinful injustice.
Finally, however, jealous enemies were encouraged by Henry to lie against him in the chancellor’s own court at Westminster. Charged and convicted of high treason, Thomas More was beheaded on Tower Hill in 1535. Kneeling before the executioner, he said, “I die the king’s loyal subject but God's first.”
His Legacy
Sir Thomas More was beatified by the Roman Catholic Church in 1886 and canonized in 1935.
More’s most famous work, Utopia, is an attempt to depict an ideal society, one in which men live in harmony under the holy will of the Most High God.
The motion picture based on the play by Robert Bolt, A Man For All Seasons, is the story of the life of Sir Thomas More.
An ironic footnote to this episode is that in 1538 Henry VIII had the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket broken to pieces. After so many centuries he had never forgiven Becket. Henry ordered Becket’s name erased from the prayer books and prohibited any images of Becket in England.

In this video you will discover:
• How he became one of the most influential men in England and a close advisor to the king.
• His profound life of faith, prayer, and commitment to the truth.
• The conflict with King Henry VIII and the decision that forever changed his destiny.
• Why he is considered the patron saint of statesmen, politicians, and defenders of freedom of conscience.

Margaret Roper, his daughter, was an incarnation of Elizabeth Clare Prophet.

Karma
Karma is God’s energy in action. It is the law of cause and effect and retribution. Also called the law of the circle, which decrees that whatever we do comes full circle to our doorstep for resolution.

Paul said, “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Newton observed, “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.”
The law of karma necessitates the soul’s reincarnation until all karmic cycles are balanced. Thus, from lifetime to lifetime, man determines his fate by his actions, including his thoughts, feelings, words, and deeds.

Aaron, the First High Priest of Israel
Aaron was the elder brother of Moses. In biblical and religious traditions, he served as Moses' spokesperson. He was also the first High Priest of Israel, ordained in Exodus 28:1. In the Bible, a priest is a mediator between God and humanity who offers sacrifices and intercedes for the people. After the Exodus, God instituted a formal, hereditary priesthood for Israel. Aaron became the first of such priests. The concept evolves from a family-led tradition to a strict hereditary system in the Old Testament, meaning that the way things were run changed from being family-led to being passed down strictly by birth."

Embodiments of Guru Ma (Elizabeth Clare Prophet)
Ascended Masters’ Teachings

Elisabeth of Austria (Bavaria) – 1837 AD -1898 AD
Empress Elisabeth of Austria was Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary by marriage to Emperor Franz Joseph I. Known as Sissi, Elisabeth was the longest-serving Empress of Austria (44 years) and remains today the most famous Austrian royal member. While walking along a promenade in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1989, a 25-year-old Italian anarchist , Luigi Lucheni, approached and stabbed Elisabeth with a sharpened needle file that was 4 inches long. She lost consciousness twice but died shortly thereafter, probably never knowing what had happened to her.

Grand Duchess of Russia - 1899 AD -1918 AD
Elizabeth was a Grand Duchess and the daughter of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna. Unfortunately, her life came to a short and brutal end at the age of 21 or 22, when she was assassinated along with all the members of her family by gunfire at the Ipatiev House in Yekaterinburg, Russia, in the early hours of July 17, 1918. The Bolsheviks, Marxist revolutionaries, committed the horrendous act. Thus ended the reign of czars in Russia. (Which daughter she had been has not been revealed.)

The Age of Aries
The Age of Aries (c. 2,150 BC-1 AD) is often interpreted as the shift from the Age of Ta**us (golden calf worship/materialism) to a new era of spirituality characterized by fire, law, and leadership. Moses is frequently cast as the archetypal Aries figure who leads this transition. Moses' demeanor in confronting Pharaoh, bringing the law, and leading with fierce dedication is seen as "Aries-like" or representative of the now authoritative "Age of Law.”

The Age of Aries was a turbulent, masculine-driven era marked by war, the rise of iron-age empires, and the shift from goddess worship to patriarchal "one god" religions. Symbolized by the Ram, this period emphasized martial law, individual leadership, and military strength, embodied by figures like Moses and Alexander the Great. We saw the rise of empires, ego, war, and individual initiative.

Moses, as the Hierarch of this age, is deeply aligned with Aries. Key events include his burning bush encounter, leading with a shepherd's crook (associated with the ram/sheep), and the sacrifice of the lamb (ram) during Passover. Just as Aries is about the ego, it requires limitation. Moses, like a true Aries leader, brings down the Ten Commandments (a Libran, or opposite-sign, balancing act of law) to create order out of the chaos of the wilderness.

In the age of Aries, we received the gift of knowing God the Father, the I AM THAT I AM. Abraham and the Hebrew patriarchs brought us the awareness of the Most High God (El Elyon) and Almighty God (El Shaddai). They knew the Person of the Father in the Ancient of Days. The Egyptian pharaoh Ikhnaton (c. 1380 b.c.) gave us the understanding of the one God represented as the sun. He saw its many rays ending in human hands, giving and sustaining all life. Moses, who some believe had been trained in the tradition of monotheism while living in Egypt, revealed the I AM THAT I AM as the identity of the Father individualized as the one God. - Vol. 33 No. 6 - The Messenger - February 11, 1990

Eternal Beauty Moves the Spirit of Man
“Ladies and gentlemen, if you begin your day with a sense of the difficult, I do not see how you can end it with any other sense. But if you will begin each day with a sense of infinite beauty and will look out upon life with the thought that this day is God's, and with a feeling that this is a day when you shall sense the beauty of God in life, then you will see as we who are artists and architects of the Spirit a sense of the eternal beauty that moves the spirit of man to exclaim, "O God, you are so magnificent!"

Ladies and gentlemen, I address you thus. For thus you are eternal beauty in the eyes of Saint Germain and in the eyes of those of that august fraternity known as the Great White Brotherhood….

Peace be unto you in this cosmic hour and moment. Peace be unto you during the wakeful hours of the night, when your soul seems to be troubled by human thoughts. Peace be unto you at every hour with a sense of God's beauty. If this sense of God's beauty shall become strong enough, it shall be because nothing can resist the onrush of its cosmic perfection. And so you will have, by the enfolding softness of divine love, a cushion to assuage all human grief, a balm to wipe out all human fear.” - Paul the Venetian

Transformers of Spiritual Light
"Chakras act as transformers of spiritual light invigorating our cells and the organs of our physical body.. The action of the violet flame in and around the chakras allows the chakras to release energy into the organs, whereby the organs gain health and strength and are able to derive needed vitality from food."

The chakras that are presently operative in the being of man are anchored in the lower etheric body, and their positions conform to the organs in the physical body which receive the flow of vitality from the higher bodies necessary to its functioning. These chakras are located at the base of the spine [base chakra], over the spleen [soul chakra], over the navel [solar plexus], over the heart, at the throat, on the brow [third-eye], and at the crown.

Kuan Yin
Kuan Yin’s flame is the color of orchids, the pink of divine love tempering the blue of the will of God. Her flower is a pink and violet lotus; the center, being pink, is as the mercy flame, becoming deeper and deeper violet on the periphery.
