"Within the spectrum of the religious and philosophical traditions of East and West, a master of both psychology (the study of the soul) and science, he presents the law of life taught by the ascended masters for thousands of years in the retreats of the Great White Brotherhood. Thus the beloved Master M., as he has been called for more than a century by students of Theosophy, presents ultimate answers to the ultimate questions of life itself: 'Who am I?' and 'Where am I going?' "
- Elizabeth Clare Prophet
You are a child of God. You are an evolving soul with your own Higher-Self and I AM Presence which has many different names in the religions of the world. You have the innate power to be a co-creator with God because all the power you use to think, to act and to be flows from God.
The mystical heart of the world's religions is the identity of the true Self. The understanding of the Self is the most important insight that any individual can have in life.
The Self begins with the permanent atom of being, the cause out of which the effect proceeds. We call this cause the I AM THAT I AM, the Presence of the I AM, or the I AM Presence. This Real Self is seen in relationship to the evolving self on a chart that is called the Chart of Your Divine Self. It illustrates so many of the cosmic truths that have been discovered by the great mystics of East and West. The Chart has three parts and, in a sense, could be called the trinity of your identity.
It is your birthright to become one with your individual I AM Presence through the Higher-Self and reunite with the heart of God. The journey home to God requires that you master your human nature and transcend its limitations. By doing so, you will fulfill your life’s goal and divine purpose, thus preparing yourself for your ascension.
The purpose of your soul's evolution on earth is to grow in self-mastery, balance your karma, fulfill your mission on earth and make your ascension in the Light.
The end of all your incarnations is to become your Real Self, so that you return to the spiritual dimensions that are your real home. Through attention to your spiritual path, the three figures in the Chart—now separate because of a limited consciousness—will one day become one.
You, too, can attain union with God!
The goal of life is the freedom, which is the union of your soul with the Higher-Self and finally the I AM Presence. Through this process, you will return at last to where your soul’s journey began so very long ago — Home. It is through this process that you will take your place among the company of ascended masters. This is what you are preparing for; it is where you are going.
The ascension is the ritual whereby the soul reunites with the Spirit of the living God, the I AM Presence, through the acceleration by the sacred fire at the natural conclusion of one's final lifetime on earth. It is the process whereby the soul merges first with the Christ Consciousness and then with the living Presence of the I AM THAT I AM, having balanced her karma and fulfilled her divine plan. Once the ascension takes place, the soul—the corruptible aspect of being—becomes the incorruptible one, a permanent atom in the body of God, free from the round of karma and rebirth.
The ascension is God's desire for every one, and so all of Heaven – Ascended Masters and Archangels – stands ready to assist the man, woman or child who seeks to express his or her true identity as a son or daughter of God. All life should welcome the opportunity we have been given to follow in the Master's footsteps. Jesus was a wayshower, one of many.
Follow the ascended masters. These great saints and sages of East and West have walked where you walk. They know the trials and tribulations you face, and they are committed to helping you find your way home. They offer clear and practical tools such as the violet flame and powerful mantras for overcoming human limitations and guiding you back to God through the ascension. The Path of Personal Christhood requires that each soul becomes the Christ through balancing karma, offering service to life through decrees and the work of the hand and balancing the Threefold Flame in the heart.
In reality man is a flaming spirit who descended into physical form to master the conditions and trials of everyday life and his own lower self. When he has successfully overcome the human will, the human ego, the human intellect and has replaced them with their divine components, he can then ascend back to the heart of the Father-victor over time and space. Your goal in this process is to balance the threefold flame so that the love of your heart may also be equal to the intelligence of your mind and to the determination of the will of God that he sealed within you in the Beginning.
We must remember that the law of karma is the law of the causal relationship between a man’s acts and the universe’s re-action to his acts that returns to his doorstep. This return of positive and negative karma continues daily, hourly and forever until his soul is perfected in Christ and he escapes the rounds of reincarnation, which have their root in the karma of desire.
