Adept. A true adept is an initiate of the Great White Brotherhood of a high degree of attainment, especially in the control of Matter, physical forces, nature spirits, and bodily functions; fully the alchemist undergoing advanced initiations of the sacred fire on the path of the ascension. Akashic records. All that transpires in an individual’s world is recorded in a substance and dimension known as akasha (Sanskrit, from the root kas ‘to be visible, appear’, ‘to shine brightly’, ‘to see clearly’). Akasha is primary substance, the subtlest, ethereal essence that fills the whole of space; “etheric” energy vibrating at a certain frequency so as to absorb, or record, all of the impressions of life. These records can be read by adepts or those whose soul (psychic) faculties are developed. Alpha and Omega. The Divine Wholeness of the Father-Mother God affirmed as “the beginning and the ending” by the Lord Christ in Revelation. Ascended twin flames of the Cosmic Christ consciousness who hold the balance of the masculine-feminine polarity of the Godhead in the Great Central Sun of cosmos. Thus, through the Universal Christ, the Word incarnate, the Father is the origin and the Mother is the fulfillment of the cycles of God’s consciousness expressed throughout the Spirit-Matter creation. See also Mother. (Rev. 1:8, 11; 21:6; 22:13. Compare the Hindu Purusa and Prakrti.) Angel. Divine spirit, herald, forerunner;
messenger sent by God to deliver his Word to his children. Ministering
spirits sent forth to tend the heirs of Christ–to comfort,
protect, guide, strengthen, teach, counsel, and warn. Cohorts of
Light in the service of the Christed ones, the sons and daughters
of God, throughout cosmos. An ‘angle’ of God’s
consciousness—an aspect Metaphorically speaking, angels are
electrons revolving around the Sun Presence that is God
—electrons who have elected, by his will innate within
them, to expand his consciousness in every plane of being. Angels
are electrons who have been ‘charged’ with the light/
energy/ consciousness of the Great Central Sun to be ‘electrodes’,
i.e., pillars of God’s fiery presence acting as ‘step-down
transformers’ of the ineffable Light, that his children might
receive some hope of the glory that is to come midst the dark night
of their karmic condition upon earth. Angels can assume human form
or that of ‘rods’ and ‘cones’ or spirals
and coils of concentrated energy that can be released for personal
and planetary healing in answer to the call of the Christed ones
as a literal transfusion of the Body and Blood of the Cosmic Christ
wherever and whenever there is a need. There are angels of healing,
protection, love, comfort and compassion, angels attending the cycles
of birth and death, angels of the All-Seeing Eye of God who wield
the flaming sword of Truth to cleave asunder the Real from the Unreal.
There are types and orders The fallen angels are those who followed
Lucifer in the Great Rebellion and whose consciousness therefore
“fell” to lower levels of vibration and awareness as
they were by law “cast out into the earth” at the hand
of Archangel Michael—constrained,
by the karma of their disobedience to God and his Christ and their
blasphemy of his children, to take on and evolve through dense physical
bodies. Here they walk about, as Peter said, seeking whosesoever
souls and minds and bodies they may devour, sowing seeds of unrest
and the Luciferian rebellion among the people through the subculture
of rock music and drugs, the media, and their Babylonian cult of
idolatry. They are known variously as the fallen ones, Luciferians,
Watchers, Nephilim, “giants in the earth,” Satanists,
Serpents, sons of Belial, etc. (Ps. 104:4; Heb. 1:7; Angel deva. See Deva. Angel of the LORD. The presence of the Deity in angelic form. The Seven Archangels and their Archeiai ministering on the seven rays together with the five of the secret rays and the hierarchs of the thirteenth are the Angels of the LORD that “stand in the Presence of God” and are “sent from God” as his messengers to transmit the Light (Christ consciousness) of that I AM THAT I AM to his sons and daughters for the accomplishment of those dispensations that they announce. Unto Moses was revealed the I AM Presence through “the angel of the LORD who appeared unto him in a flame of fire,” which was the actual presence and personification of the I AM THAT I AM by Archangel Michael. This truth confirms the initiation conferred by God upon certain beings advanced in the heavenly hierarchy to actually bear in their person—in their chakras and auric field—the weight of God’s Presence. Even so have his prophets, messengers and Christed ones borne this “burden” of the LORD, as they were called to be his visible evangels in form, taking embodiment to minister with the angels, Archangels, cherubim, and seraphim on behalf of souls evolving in the earth planes. (Luke 1:19; Exod. 3:2; Jer. 23:30-40; Zech. 9:1; 12:1; Hab. 1:1; Mal. 1:1.) Antahkarana. (Skt. for “internal
sense organ.”) The web of life. The net of light spanning
Spirit Antichrist. n. When capitalized, the specific embodiment of Absolute Evil, the Evil One. The planetary dweller-on-the-threshold. ”Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that Antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.” The term is also applied to such as Lucifer, Satan, the Watchers, Nephilim, and other fallen angels who “kept not their first estate,” who stand in opposition to Absolute Good. These betrayers of the Word have sworn allegiance to the powers of Death and Hell and vowed to destroy God incarnate in his Church, his saints and his little ones. When lowercased, a person or power antagonistic to the Christ, or Light, in Jesus and his own. adj. Having the characteristics of Antichrist, denying the Christ potential in the children of God, destroying souls by the perversion of the Person and Light of Christ. (I John 2:18, 22; 4:3; II John 7; Gen. 6:1-7; Jude 6.) Archangel. Hierarch of angelic hosts; the highest rank in the orders of angels. Each of the seven rays has a presiding Archangel who, with his divine complement, an Archeia, embodies the God consciousness of the ray and directs the bands of angels serving in their command on that ray. The Archangels and Archeiai of the rays and the location of their retreats are as follows: First Ray, blue, Archangel Michaeland Faith, Banff, near Lake Louise, Canada. Second Ray, yellow, Archangel Jophiel and Christine, south of the Great Wall near Lanchow, north central China. Third Ray, petal pink, deep rose and ruby, Archangel Chamuel and Charity, St. Louis, Missouri, USA. Fourth Ray, white and mother-of-pearl, Archangel Gabriel and Hope, between Sacramento and Mount Shasta, California, USA. Fifth Ray, green, Archangel Raphael and Mary,Fátima, Portugal. Sixth Ray, purple and gold, ruby, Archangel Uriel and Aurora, Tatra Mountains, south of Cracow, Poland. Seventh Ray, violet and purple, Archangel Zadkieland Holy Amethyst, Cuba.

A Buddhist monk who has attained nirvana; one undergoing the initiations of the Buddha. Ascended being. See Ascended Master. Ascended Master. 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. An Ascended Master
has also transmuted at least 51 percent of his karma, fulfilled
his divine plan, and taken the initiations of the Ruby Ray unto
the ritual of the ascension—acceleration
(Phil. 2:5.) Ascension. The ritual whereby the
soul reunites with the Spirit of the Living God, the I AM Presence.
The ascension is the culmination of the soul’s God-victorious
sojourn in time and space. It is the reward of the righteous that
is the gift of God after the last judgment before the great white
throne in which every man is judged “according to their works.”
The ascension was experienced by Enoch, of whom it is written that
he “walked with God: and he was not, for God took him”;
by Elijah, who went up by a whirlwind into heaven; and by Jesus,
although his ascension did not take place on the occasion when scripture
records that he was taken up into (Rev. 20:12, 13; Gen. 5:24; II Kings

one who aspires to reunion with God through the ritual Astral. adj. Having or carrying the
characteristics of the astral plane. n. A frequency of time and

the emotional body of man and the collective unconscious of the
race. Because the astral plane has been muddied Astral body. See Emotional body. Astral plane. The repository of the
collective thought/feeling patterns, conscious and unconscious,
of mankind. The pristine purpose of this band, or frequency, is
for the amplification of the pure thoughts and feelings of God in

Now the Ascended Master Godfre, he ensouls the consciousness of God-obedience. He was embodied as Richard the Lion-Hearted and as George Washington. In his final embodiment, with his wife and twin flame, Edna Ballard (who ascended February 12, 1971), he founded the I AM movement under the direction of the Ascended Master Saint Germain. His pen name was Godfré Ray King, hers Lotus Ray King. Their most important works are Unveiled Mysteries, The Magic Presence, and The “I AM” Discourses. Bodhisattva. A Sanskrit term meaning
literally a being of bodhi (or enlightenment), a being destined
for enlightenment, or one whose energy and power is directed toward
enlightenment. (See the following by Elizabeth Clare

A being of nature (ordinarily invisible and functioning unnoticed in the physical octave) that serves the soul from the moment of its first incarnation in the planes of Mater to tend the physical body. About three feet high and resembling the individual whom he serves, the body elemental, working with the guardian angel under the regenerative Christ Self, is the unseen friend and helper of man.

‘know’, ‘perceive’.) Buddha means “the
enlightened one.” (See Djwal Kul, Intermediate Studies of the Human Aura, chapter 10; also published in The Human Aura.) Gautama attained the enlightenment of the Buddha twenty-five centuries ago, a path he had pursued through many previous embodiments culminating in his forty-nine-day meditation under the Bo tree; hence he is called Gautama, the Buddha. He holds the office of Lord of the World, sustaining, by his Causal Body and threefold flame, the divine spark and consciousness in the evolutions of earth approaching the path of personal Christhood. His aura of Love/Wisdom ensouling the planet issues from his incomparable devotion to the Divine Mother. He is the hierarch of Shamballa, the original retreat of Sanat Kumara now on the etheric plane over the Gobi Desert. On April 18, 1981, the beloved Gautama Buddha established his Western Shamballa in America’s wilderness at the northern border of Yellowstone National Park at the Inner Retreat of the Royal Teton Ranch.

Causal Body. The body of First Cause;
seven concentric spheres of light and consciousness surrounding
the I AM Presence in the planes of Spirit, whose momentums, added
to by the Good—the LORD’s
Word and Works manifested by the soul in all past lives—are
accessible today, moment by moment as we need them. One’s
spiritual resources and creativity—talents,
graces, gifts and genius, garnered through exemplary service on
the seven rays—may be drawn forth
from the Causal Body through invocation made to the I AM Presence
in the name of the Christ Self. The Causal Body is the place where
we “lay up treasure in heaven”—the
storehouse of every good and perfect thing that is a part of our
true identity. In addition, the great spheres (Matt. 6:19-21; John 14:2, 3; I Cor. 15:41.) Cave of Symbols. Etheric as well as
physical retreat of the Master Saint Germain located (See Pearls of Wisdom, 1977, vol. 20, pp. 184, 192.) Central sun. A vortex of energy, physical
or spiritual, central to systems of worlds that it thrusts from,
or gathers unto, itself by the central sun magnet. Whether in the
microcosm or the Macrocosm, the central sun is the principal energy
source, vortex, or nexus of energy interchange in atoms, cells,
man (the heart center), amidst plant life and the core of the earth.
The Great Central Sun, also called the Great Hub, is the center
of cosmos; the point of integration of the Spirit-Matter cosmos;
the point of origin of all physical-spiritual creation; the nucleus,
or white fire core, of the Cosmic Egg. (The God Star, Sirius, is
the focus of the Great Central Sun in our sector of the galaxy.)
The Sun behind the sun is the spiritual Cause behind the physical
effect we see (Mal. 4:2; Rev. 21:23.) Chakra. (Skt. for “wheel,”
“disc,” “circle.”) Term used to denote the
centers of light anchored in the etheric body and governing the
flow of energy to the four lower bodies of man. There are seven
major chakras corresponding to the seven rays, five minor chakras
corresponding to the five secret rays, and a total of 144 light
centers in the body of man. The seven major chakras, their rays,
Sanskrit names, and colors are as follows: First Ray, throat, Vishuddha,
blue; Second Ray, crown, Sahasrara, yellow; Third Ray, heart, Anahata,
pink; Fourth Ray, base-of-the-spine, Muladhara, white; Fifth Ray,

to the Trinity of Father, who always includes the Mother (the upper

of man or child of the Light evolving beneath his own ‘Tree The silver (or crystal) cord is the
stream of life, or “lifestream,” that descends from
the heart of the I AM Presence to the Holy Christ Self to nourish
and sustain (through the chakras) the soul and its vehicles of expression
in time and space. It is over this ‘umbilical’ cord
that the energy of the Presence flows, entering the being of man
at the crown and giving impetus for the pulsation of the threefold
flame as well as the physical heartbeat. When a round of the soul’s
incarnation The dove of the Holy Spirit descending from the heart of the Father is shown just above the head of the Christ. When the son of man puts on and becomes the Christ consciousness as Jesus did, he merges with the Holy Christ Self. The Holy Spirit is upon him and the words of the Father, the beloved I AM Presence, are spoken, “This is my beloved Son in whom I AM well pleased.” (Matt. 3:17. See the Keepers of the

A term used generally to refer to a student of the Ascended Masters and their teachings. Specifically, a student of more than ordinary self-discipline and devotion initiated by an Ascended Master and serving the cause of the Great White Brotherhood. See also Discipleship. (See El Morya, The Chela and the Path: Meeting the Challenge of Life in the Twentieth Century.) Cherub (pl. cherubim). Member of an

of the seven rays has a Chohan who focuses the Christ consciousness
of the ray, which is indeed the law of the ray governing its righteous
use in man. Having ensouled and demonstrated this law of the ray

and after the ascension, the candidate is appointed to the office

The Universal Christ is the mediator
between the planes of Spirit and the planes of Matter; personified
as the Christ Self, he is the mediator between the Spirit of God
and the soul of man. The Universal Christ sustains the nexus of
(the figure-eight flow of) consciousness through which the energies
of the Father (Spirit) pass to his children for the crystallization
(Christ-realization) The fusion of the energies of the positive and negative polarity of the Godhead in the creation takes place through the Universal Christ, the Logos without whom “was not any thing made that was made.” The flow of light from the Macrocosm to the microcosm, from the Spirit (the I AM Presence) to the soul and back again over the figure-eight spiral, is fulfilled through this blessed mediator, who is Christ, the LORD, the true incarnation of the I AM THAT I AM. Because Jesus Christ is that embodied Word he can say, “I AM [the I AM in me is] the Open Door (to heaven and earth) which no man can shut” and “All Power is given unto me [through the I AM in me] in heaven and in earth” and “Behold, I AM [the I AM in me is] alive forevermore—as Above, so below—and have the keys of the kingdom of heaven and the keys of hell and death, and to whomsoever the Father wills I give it, and it is given in his name.” This which is affirmed even today by the Ascended Master Jesus Christ is also affirmed in your behalf by your beloved Christ Self. Thus the Universal Christ of the one Son and the many does indeed mediate the Presence of the I AM to you through your very own beloved Holy Christ Self. This is the true Communion of the Cosmic Christ whose Body (Consciousness) was ‘broken’, shared, individualized, for every child of the Father’s heart. The Sons of God hold the Maxim Light in trust for the babes in Christ. The term “Christ” or “Christed
one” also denotes an office in hierarchy held by those who
have attained self-mastery on the seven rays and the seven chakras
of the Holy Spirit. Christ-mastery includes the balancing of the
threefold flame—the divine attributes
of Power, Wisdom, and Love—for
the harmonization of consciousness and the implementation of the
mastery of the seven rays in the chakras and in the four lower bodies
through the Mother Flame (raised Kundalini). At the hour designated
for the ascension, the soul thus anointed raises the spiral The individual Christ Self, the personal
Christ, is the initiator of every living soul. When the individual
passes these several initiations on the path of Christhood, including
the “slaying of the dweller-on-the-threshold,” he earns
the right to be called a Christed one and gains the title of son
or daughter of God. Some who have earned that title in past ages
have either compromised that attainment altogether or failed to
manifest it in subsequent incarnations. In this age the Logos requires
them to bring forth their inner God-mastery and to perfect it on
the physical plane while Expanding the consciousness of the
Christ, the Christed one moves on to attain the realization (John 1:1-14; 14:20, 23. Compare Rev. 3:8; Matt. 28:18; Rev. 1:18.) Christ consciousness. The consciousness
or awareness of the self in and as the Christ; the attainment of
a level of consciousness commensurate with that which was realized
by Jesus, the Christ. The Christ consciousness is the realization
within the soul of that Mind which was in Christ Jesus. It is the
attainment of the balanced action of Power, Wisdom, and Love—of
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and
the purity of the Mother through the balanced threefold flame within
the heart. It is Faith perfected in the desire to do God’s
Will, Hope in the salvation of Christ Jesus Christ Self. The individualized focus
of “the only begotten of the Father full of grace and truth.”

archetype of golden-age, etheric cities of light that exist even
now on the etheric plane (in heaven) and are waiting to be lowered
into physical manifestation (on earth). Saint John the Revelator
saw the descent of the Holy City as the immaculate geometry of that
which is to be and now is in the invisible realms of light: “And
I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out
of heaven.” Thus, in order that this vision and prophecy be
fulfilled Jesus taught us to pray with the authority of the spoken
Word, “Thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven!”
Metaphysically speaking, the City Foursquare is the mandala of the

The City Foursquare contains the blueprint of the solar (soul) identity of the 144,000 archetypes of the sons and daughters of God necessary to focus the Divine Wholeness of his consciousness in a given dispensation. The Light of the city is emitted from the I AM Presence; that of the Lamb, the Cosmic Christ, from the Christ Self.

The Cosmic Egg has both a spiritual and a material center. Although we may discover and observe the Cosmic Egg from the standpoint of our physical senses and perspective, all of the dimensions of Spirit can also be known and experienced within the Cosmic Egg.

India, Decree. n. a foreordaining will, an edict or fiat, an authoritative decision, declaration, a law, ordinance or religious rule; a command or commandment. v. to decide, to declare, to determine or order; to ordain, to command or enjoin; to invoke the presence of God, his light/energy/consciousness, his power and protection, purity and perfection. It is written in the Book of Job,
“Thou shalt decree a thing, and it shall be established unto
thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.” The decree
is the most powerful of all applications to the Godhead. It is the
“Command ye me” of Isaiah 45:11, the original command
to Light, which, (Job 22:28; Gen. 1:3; James 1:21;

Member of an order of angelic beings who serve with the elemental
forces of nature, assisting them to perform their various functions.
Angel devas are the guardian spirits of the mountains and the forests.
They also ensoul and hold the matrix for the Christ consciousness
to be outpictured by the people of a particular locale—city,
state, nation, Diamond Heart. A concentration of
the sacred fires of the will of God that coalesce as a diamond matrix
in the hearts of devotees of God’s will, his divine plan and
his inner (etheric) blueprint for all life. Hence, a term used to
describe the heart of the Ascended Masters, angel devas, and chelas
who embody the will of God; often associated with El Morya and Mary
the Mother of Jesus. The Diamond Heart of God possesses the quality
of the diamond, its hardness resisting every sinister strategy of
the anti-Self and the anti-Will. At the same time it reflects the
brilliance (See Jesus and Kuthumi, Corona Class Lessons, pp. 90-91. Mother Mary, “The Order of the Diamond Heart,” and Jesus, “The Hour of Thy Victory Draweth Nigh,” in Pearls of Wisdom, 1987, vol. 30, pp. 629, 633-37, 640-46, 237 n. 9.) Discipleship. The state of being an adherent of the Christ and of the Teachings of the Great White Brotherhood; the process of attaining self-mastery through self-discipline in the initiations of the Buddha, the World Teachers, and the Ascended Masters. Steps of initiation in discipleship
under the Living Word: (1) Student: Under this phase the individual
studies, becomes a student of the writings and the teachings of
the Master. He is free to come and go in his community, enjoying
fellowship with his followers and the fruits of their dedication
but has declared no particular responsibility to the person of the
Master. He has taken no vows, made no commitment, but may be studying
to “show himself approved” in order to be accepted as
a servant, or co-server (otherwise known as “chela”),
sharing the joy of the Master’s world mission. (2) Disciple
(chela): The individual desires to enter into a bond with the Master
—to be taught directly by the Master rather than through
his published writings alone. The disciple answers the call of the
Master to leave his nets of karmic entanglements and worldly desire
and follow him: “Come leave your nets, I will make you fishers
of men.” The disciple receives the initiations of the Cosmic
Christ in the course of his service to the Master. His heart, mind,
and soul have begun to unfold a greater love as appreciation and
gratitude for the teachings received in the previous level of student.
This love is translated into action as self-sacrifice, selflessness,
service, and surrender to the Person of the Christ, the Sun behind
the Son of man of the Master; when this step has been accelerated
to the level of the “acceptable offering,” and the chela
is engaged in balancing his threefold flame and his karma, he may
be considered for the next step. (3) Friend: Those counted as friend
of the Master enter by invitation—“Henceforth
I call you (II Tim. 2:15; Matt. 4:19; Mark 1:17; John 15. See Jesus and Kuthumi, Corona Class Lessons, chaps. 25-30.) Divine Ego. Awareness of true selfhood
in and as the Christ Self, the God Self, or the I AM Presence; the
Higher Consciousness; the Source or Origin of man. One’s sense
of selfhood Divine Manchild. The Manchild born to the Woman clothed with the Sun is the incarnation of the Universal Christ for the Aquarian age in the one and the many sons and daughters of God whose destiny it is to focus the Christ consciousness to the evolutions of earth. Lowercased, the term “manchild” refers to the child who has the Holy Spirit from his mother’s womb, e.g., John the Baptist and Jesus. (Rev. 12.) Divine Monad. See Chart of Your Divine Self. Divine Mother. See Mother. Divine plan. The plan of God for the soul’s individualization of the God Flame ordained in the beginning when the blueprint of life was impressed upon the white fire core of the individual I AM Presence. The divine plan determines the limits of the individual expression of free will. As the acorn is destined to be the oak, so each individual soul is destined to realize the fullness of his preordained (but not predestined) potential drawn by free will from the Tree of Life—the I AM Presence and the Causal Body. What that potential is and how it is to be self-realized in this life is known of God and can be released to the outer consciousness through application to the individual Christ Self, the I AM Presence, and the Great Divine Director. Dweller-on-the-threshold. A term sometimes
used to designate the anti-self, the not-self, the synthetic self,
the antithesis of the Real Self, the conglomerate of the self-created
ego, The dweller appears to the soul on
the threshold of conscious awareness where it knocks to gain entrance
into the ‘legitimate’ realm of self-acknowledged selfhood.
The dweller would enter (See Jesus Christ, “The Awakening
of the Dweller-on-the-Threshold,” and Elizabeth Clare Prophet,
“Christ and the Dweller,” in Pearls of Wisdom, 1983,
vol. 26, nos. 36, 38. Pearls Elementals. Beings of earth, air, fire, and water; nature spirits who are the servants of God and man in the planes of Matter for the establishment and maintenance of the physical plane as the platform for the soul’s evolution. Elementals who serve the fire element are called salamanders; those who serve the air element, sylphs; those who serve the water element, undines; those who serve the earth element, gnomes. See also Body elemental. (See Mark L. Prophet and Elizabeth
Clare Prophet, Climb the Highest Mountain, 2d ed., pp. El Morya. The Ascended Master. Lord (Chohan) of the First Ray of God’s Will, Chief of the Darjeeling Council of the Great White Brotherhood, founder of The Summit Lighthouse, teacher and sponsor of the Messengers Mark L. Prophet and Elizabeth Clare Prophet. The Master’s extraordinary devotion to God’s Word and Work is a powerful stream that runs throughout his soul’s incarnations on earth as he has stood staunch in the role of Advocate, Teacher, and Exemplar before our spirits soaring unto Love. As the Rajput prince El Morya Khan, he worked closely with Kuthumi, Djwal Kul, Serapis Bey, Saint Germain and others to found the Theosophical Society in 1875. He was Abraham, the ancient patriarch who emerged from Ur of the Chaldees to become the prototype and progenitor of the twelve tribes of Israel. Returning as Melchior, one of the three wise men of the East, he followed the star that portended the birth of the best of his seed who would fulfill all the promises of God unto his spiritual descendants. As Arthur, king of the Britons, he
summoned knights of the Round Table and ladies of the court During the 1920s and 1930s the Ascended
Master El Morya worked with Nicholas and Helena Roerich, who set
forth his writings in numerous published works. In 1958 he called

Spirits of God” named in Revelation and the “morning
stars” that sang together in the beginning, as the LORD revealed
them to his servant Job. There are also five Elohim who surround
the white fire core of the Great Central Sun. In the order Following are the names of the Seven Elohim, the rays they serve on, and the locations of their etheric retreats: First Ray, Hercules and Amazonia, Half Dome, Sierra Nevada, Yosemite National Park, California, USA.

Wisdom, 1989, vol. 32, nos. 9-15; Emotional body. One of the four lower bodies of man, corresponding to the water element and the third quadrant of Matter; the vehicle of the desires and feelings of God made manifest in the being of man. Also called the astral body, the desire body, and the feeling body. Etheric. Of or relating to the highest plane of the Matter cosmos, i.e., the heaven world. The etheric frequency and its correspondent plane of consciousness is the repository of the fiery blueprint of the entire physical universe. Etheric body. One of the four lower bodies of man, corresponding to the fire element and the first quadrant of Matter; called the envelope of the soul, holding the blueprint of the divine plan and the image of Christ-perfection to be outpictured in the world of form. Also called the memory body. Sanat Kumara announced on New Year’s Day 1985 that the earth received a new etheric sheath containing the record and blueprint of the planet’s original divine plan and that the opportunity for the world to renew the golden age had never been greater. (See Sanat Kumara, “The Turning
Point of Life on Earth: A Dispensation of the Solar Logoi,” Etheric plane. The highest plane in
the dimension of Matter; a plane that is as concrete and real (and
more so) as the physical plane but that is experienced through the
senses of the soul (See Elizabeth Clare Prophet, “On Dealing with Death, Discarnates and Malevolent Spirits, Part III,” 4 audiocassettes.) Evil. Energy-veil; the veil of misqualified
energy that man imposes upon Matter through his misuse of the sacred
fire; maya, illusion. The consciousness of relative good and evil,
embodied by lifestreams moving against the current of God’s
will, is the consequence of the freewill experiment adopted by souls
who chose to descend in plane and consciousness below the level
and frequency of the Christ Mind. Absolute Evil, embodied by fallen
angels, is the state of those who declared war against Almighty
God, his Christ and his offspring in the Great Rebellion, who have
not ceased their warfare against the seed of the Divine Mother,
will not bend the knee before the Light and will be defeated in
Armageddon by the LORD’s Judgment through his hosts—the
forces of Absolute Good, God-identified in heaven and earth. As

A term used by El Morya, Chohan of the First Ray, to describe the fitting of the evolving soul consciousness for the goal of reunion with God; a process of discipline and initiation through service and application of the sacred fire that souls preparing for the ascension undergo under the loving direction of the Ascended Masters. (See The Chela and the Path for the Master’s fundamentals on goal-fittedness for meeting the challenges of the twentieth century.) God consciousness. The consciousness,
or awareness, of one’s true self as the manifestation (Ps. 82:6; John 10:34.) Goddess of Justice. See Portia. Goddess of Liberty. The Ascended Lady
Master who holds the God consciousness of liberty for the earth.
While embodied on Atlantis, she erected the Temple of the Sun where
Manhattan Island now is. With the sinking of Atlantis the physical
temple was destroyed, but the etheric counterpart remains on the
etheric plane, where she continues to focus the flame of liberty
on the central altar, which is surrounded by twelve shrines dedicated
to the twelve hierarchies of the Sun. The Goddess of Liberty (so
named for her complete and wholehearted identification with God’s
flame of liberty, her God consciousness of liberty) is the Spokesman
for the Karmic Board and represents the Second Ray on that board.
Her statue on Liberty Island (formerly Bedloe’s Island) in
New York Harbor portrays the figure of Longfellow’s “Lady
with a Lamp,” whom he prophesied “shall stand in the
great history of the land, a noble type of good, heroic womanhood.”
She is the archetype of the Woman clothed with the Sun and the new-age
woman—inspiring the nations Goddess of Mercy. See Kuan Yin. God Flame. The flame of God; the sacred
fire; the identity, being, and consciousness of God (Deut. 4:24; Matt. 3:11, 12; I Cor. 3:13-15; I Pet. 1:7; Exod. 25:31-40; 37:17-24; Zech. 2:5.) Godfré Ray King. See Ballard, Guy W. God Presence. See I AM Presence. God Self. See I AM Presence. Golden age. A cycle of enlightenment, peace, and harmony wherein the souls of mankind merge in the Christ Flame for the fulfillment of the divine plan “as Above, so below.” Through the convergence of the etheric plane and sheath with the three lower vehicles of the earth body and her evolutions, the heavenly kingdom will come into manifestation on earth as it is even now in the etheric octave. See also Etheric body. (See Elizabeth Clare Prophet, “The
Golden Age of Jesus Christ on Atlantis,” 2 videocassettes;
Great Central Sun. See Central sun. Great Divine Director. The Ascended Master whose attainment of cosmic consciousness qualifies him to ensoul the flame of divine direction on behalf of earth’s evolutions and untold lifewaves beyond. Founder of the House of Rakoczy, Teacher of Saint Germain, sponsor and Manu of the incoming seventh root race, this Cosmic Being maintains a focus in the Cave of Light in India and in his retreat in Transylvania, the focus of freedom for Europe. The Great Divine Director represents the First Ray on the Karmic Board. He is also known as the Master R.

See Central sun. Great White Brotherhood. A spiritual order of Western saints and Eastern adepts who have reunited with the Spirit of the living God and who comprise the heavenly hosts. They have transcended the cycles of karma and rebirth and ascended (accelerated) into that higher reality which is the eternal abode of the soul. The Ascended Masters of the Great White Brotherhood, united for the highest purposes of the brotherhood of man under the Fatherhood of God, have risen in every age from every culture and religion to inspire creative achievement in education, the arts and sciences, God-government and the abundant Life through the economies of the nations. The word “white” refers not to race but to the aura (halo) of white light surrounding their forms. The Brotherhood also includes in its ranks certain unascended chelas of the Ascended Masters. Jesus Christ revealed this heavenly order of saints “robed in white” to his servant John in Revelation. See also Cosmic hierarchy. (Rev. 3:4, 5; 6:9-11; 7:9, 13, 14; 19:14. See Elizabeth Clare Prophet, The Great White Brotherhood in the Culture, History and Religion of America.) Hierarchy. See Cosmic hierarchy. Higher Self. The I AM Presence; the Christ Self; the exalted aspect of selfhood. Used in contrast to the term “lower self,” or “little self,” which indicates the soul that went forth from and may elect by free will to return to the Divine Whole through the realization of the oneness of the self in God. Higher consciousness. Holy Amethyst. See Zadkiel, Archangel. Holy Christ Self. See Christ Self. Holy Spirit. Third Person of the Trinity;

That consciousness which is aware of the self as human—limited, mortal, fallen, sinful, subject to error and the passions of the senses—and therefore declares with the Son of man: “I of mine own (human) self can do nothing.
