The Ascended Master

I have always felt-- and still do-- that someone was guiding me from behind the scenes. It's like being in a fog, then having a huge, glowing hand point to your destination. You don't know where the path leads, but somehow, it always takes you where you're supposed to go.

I consider myself a student of life. I have studied various religions and philosophies including Islam, Zen Buddhism, Hatha Yoga, Falun Gong, and Sacred Geometry. Because I have an open mind, I thirst for information. Yet, I do not feel that I have progressed according to my full potential.

"What about your heart?"

The voice in my head whispered softly, as I browsed through the metaphysical section of Borders bookstore. This voice, although it had been with me my whole life, was just becoming familiar because I spent so many years ignoring it. Many people, I believe, make the same mistake in thinking that the voice they hear is just them talking to themselves. In fact, it is often intuition, a gift from heaven.

As I continued to browse, a small book entitled, The Human Aura, jumped out at me. The subject matter caught my attention and so did the design of the front cover, a silhouette of a human body with seven colorful wheels spinning from the energy centers of the body, known to us as chakras.

"Interesting," I thought. Something worth reading to quench my perpetual thirst for knowledge. But I would soon realize that this book was something far greater. As I sat and scanned the table of contents, reading through the first few pages, I realized that this book was not information for the merely inquisitive. I knew that this book was something that I needed at this particular time in my life.

WHEN THE STUDENT IS READY, THE MASTER APPEARS

I didn't choose this book. This book chose me. Filled with esoteric secrets of antiquity, this book would open my mind, heart, and soul to the energies that surround our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies. These energies, the human aura, are the link to embracing the power and love of the Holy Spirit.

It is this book that helped me awaken to the presence of these divine energies. It is my intent to master the control of these energies, and eventually rise above this mundane world by raising my frequency level and increasing the vibration of each atom in my body. Infused with divine Light, it is inevitable that the ascension process will occur.

I AM of the Light. I AM an Ascended Master (in training)…
Let us define Ascended Master. I sat down at my computer and typed "define: ascended master" into Google.com. This is what came up:

· One who, through Christ and the putting on of that Mind
which was in Christ Jesus, has mastered time and space and in the process gained
the mastery of the self in the four lower bodies and the four quadrants of
Matter, in the chakras and the balanced threefold flame. www.washingtondcteachingcenter.org/teachings.html

· One definition of an ascended master is an individual
who has undergone the process of ascension. Throughout history, there have been
stories of these individuals who have reached a higher state of spiritual
awareness and placed themselves in service to humanity. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascended_master

These definitions should serve as a guide, but are by no means the complete Truth. One thing that I now understand is that in order to achieve unity with the Mind of God, I must get out of my own way. I must climb out of my head and step into my heart.

I contemplated on the time spent in the past satisfying my desire for logic and reasoning, but not so much on practice. I realize now, there can be no perfection in theory. Perfection exists within the application of knowledge, not the collection of facts and figures. The application of divine knowledge is manifested as wisdom.

As I sat there, I felt compelled to write a poem:

It is my philosophy
That divine alchemy
Allows us to transform
The path is clear
By releasing fear
We step outside the norm
And rise above
Where Light and love
Keeps us aligned with spiritual
And all around
There is a sound
That manifests true miracles
OM…
OM…
OM…
Do you hear it?
It is the Holy Spirit
The Feminine aspect of God
The fire, the essence
The invisible presence
That guides us against the odds
Of this mundane
Hostile and insane
Existence similar to hell
But as we enter
The heart center
We rise from where we fell…
It's harvest time!


I took a deep breath and read what just poured out of me. If this is true, and I know it is, then by having faith and following a set of specific instructions, we are assured to ascend, just as Jesus did.

There is a subtle shift that is currently affecting everyone on this planet, but few people seem to notice. The shift, triggered by a down pouring of Light, is steadily rearranging the atomic structure of this material world.

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE ASCENDED MASTER?

The role of the Ascended Master is to spiritualize the material. In other words, we are to raise the frequency of Planet Earth to that of L.O.V.E.

Limitless Oscillating Vibrational Energy

L.O.V.E. is all there is. As we enter the Aquarian age, we must rid ourselves of the authoritarian, patriarchal views of the Piscean age. As we receive more Light, we empower and guide others to do so as well. It is extremely simple, but very difficult if we continue with the Piscean attitudes of competition and separateness. We must substitute negative ego thinking with spiritual thinking.

I AM an alchemist. I receive "manna from above." I gain my true nourishment from Light. Light from my inner Self. Light from the Creator Father in Heaven. I follow my inner guidance, through the Light that exists within the hidden inner chamber of my heart; the threefold flame of God's love, wisdom and power.

When God revealed himself to Moses as the "burning bush" (that divine fire), he simply said,

I AM THAT I AM
(EHYEH ASHER EHYEH)

What does this mean? "I AM" is the act of awakening to the Self. Not the individual self, but the true Self, the Cosmic Self (also known as "The Higher Self"). When you say, "I AM," followed by any statement, you are speaking that statement into existance because you are aligning your intent with all that is. This is the essence of creation. This is the power of the spoken word, rising from the solar plexus chakra through the heart chakra, and released by the throat chakra.

"In the beginning there was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…" – John 1:1


It is my belief that when God said "I AM THAT I AM," he was saying "I AM AWARE THAT I AM;" or "I THINK, THEREFORE I AM." In other words, he is giving us a hint as to our true being (as his children, made in his image and similitude); co-creators and potential masters of all existence. Who am I? I AM THAT I AM.

AS ABOVE, SO BELOW

By stating I AM THAT I AM, we are acknowledging the oneness of everything. You see, on the physical plane there is an illusion of separateness. We often feel that as "individuals" we stand apart from everything else in existence. Physics, however, has proven what the mystics and divine messengers have been saying since the dawn of time: Everything in existence is connected…the Universal Field theory.

It goes deep, and I still have so much more to learn. However, when the student is ready, the master appears... At this moment, I feel the presence of Master Djwhal Khul. Can he be the one guiding me from behind the scenes? – The glowing hand?

I have no doubt that I AM of the Light. My intention is to gain mastery in this lifetime, and naturally ascend in the process…and then the real work begins.
