THE PERMANENT CENTRAL TEMPLE OF THE ASCENSION FLAME

ELECTRONIC PATTERN: As all humanity accepts the truth of the Ascension, each one is welcomed into the loving embrace of the Chohan of the Fourth Ray, mighty Serapis Bey. Now enfolded in the joyous, buoyant Ascension Flame, the Earth and all the planets of this System of Worlds, are gently raised upward, taking another step toward the fulfillment of God's great Divine Plan.

Beloved Chelas of Light,

I joyously welcome you into the Ascension Temple at Shamballa. I AM known as Lord of the Ascension Flame, and I have served in this capacity for many ages. During this time, you have each stood within My Presence upon numerous occasions for many reasons. Suffice it to say we are not strangers to each other.

Today it is My desire to address you—each one who receives My words—personally. To prepare yourselves I ask that you now visualize your own precious Mantle of pure White Light surrounding you. Look and see how it expands around you, a truly strong and loving forcefield that is yours and yours alone. Activate the sacred Violet Fire within it, to purify and protect your four lower vehicles. I shall not limit the perimeter of this magnificent Cloak of Light to any specific dimensions, because I want you to realize the unlimited nature of God in you, through you, and around you—at all times. All that you have been taught;  all that you have been given; all of Our loving assistance poured forth over time—is of no avail if you limit the love, wisdom and power given to you—each individual and precious one, for your use in this beautiful world of form.

As you proceed along the path of Light, realize that this Light passes over a magnificent Bridge, which We have designated "The Bridge to Spiritual Freedom". Just as you work diligently from your side of this Bridge on the earthly plane of expression, so do I work from My side in the Realms of Light. I will add that we both have the assistance of many brothers and sisters in the realms in which we abide. However, each one, no matter whether they serve in the physical world or the Ascended Octaves of Light, needs to fulfill his or her own function in order to have true Brotherhood and its manifestation emerge in all its glory.

Beloved one, this Bridge is already built—and at the present time we are strengthening it through our mutual efforts so that it will one day bear the weight of the entire Human Family. Every day, there are more individuals awakening who desire to return home in consciousness to the House of their Father-Mother God, from which they came so long ago.  

As you and I work within the Activity of the Bridge, we are moving steadily closer to complete and conscious unity with each other―the physical octave of manifestation with the octaves of Light. Today, I want you to remember and recognize My presence, and then, soon―through you, many more will also remember. I await that day with great anticipation.

When you first became aware of the Ascended Masters, you felt deep joy and may have often felt the presence of your Ascended Master sponsor. You were taught many Cosmic Laws and shown the vastness of the Universe and how you have always been a living, conscious part of it in some way. Later, as you grew and developed, beginning to take your own steps on this higher path, more responsibility was offered, and, you accepted this¾working in an ever-increasing capacity to fulfill your part of the Divine Plan for the Earth.

You have come to the Activity of the Bridge to Spiritual Freedom by your very own path, according to your needs and your familiarity with other people and ceremonies from past ages. This is important to understand, because—as you have now set your feet upon the first span of the Bridge—you have completed many preparatory steps and are ready to move forward quickly, merging your energies completely with the vibratory activity of the New Age of Spiritual Freedom. You are beginning to truly work as a Master of your own energies in every way, while still embodied.

In the full flowering of this New Age, ceremonies from the past will be happily blended and lifted up on the power of the Ascension Flame to become one with the rituals of the Octaves of Light, from which all worshipful ceremony originally came. As you are discovering, the most significant difference between rituals from the past and those of the New Age, which are just now beginning to come forth on the physical plane, is your understanding.

Over the past few years, We have especially asked that you take time to enter the Silence, and methods have been given to assist you in this step. Another significant step you have taken is participating in the Activity of the Petition Classes twice yearly, which has had the effect of disclosing your particular spiritual gifts and talents to you. Armed with this knowledge, you are now seeing your own Divine Plan more clearly. In addition, you are working diligently to combine your gifts with those of your fellow chelas and light-workers everywhere, thus learning to respect others at a more profound level of being, recognizing your unity with all life.

With all the sincerity of My Being, I ask you to keep on with these activities of sacred fire, knowing that you are truly becoming ONE with the Holy Christ Self in your heart, giving that Great One absolute authority and control within your life expression. You are recognizing that it is God who created you out of His own heart, and that your life truly does belong to the Giver of All Life.

My beloved one, having come this far upon your own path of enlightenment, you may recall sometimes feeling more alone than when you first became aware of Our Presence and the wonder and joy of Our communion. I assure you, I AM always with you and I hear your every heart call. Your recent steps toward mastery had to be taken alone and completely on faith. You have sensed this fact in your innermost being and always held fast through many difficult initiations in the healing of your life relationships and situations.

Having accepted the special challenges of anonymity required by a true Master of Light, you are moving rapidly beyond the need for personal recognition, comfort and the constant reassurance required by a newcomer on the Path of Light. You have entered into the study of your own life¾right here and right now¾taking responsibility in such a way that We are now able to entrust you with much more of the actual work of the Ascended Master Realms. In this way, you are conserving energy, just as We have taught you and do Ourselves.
