"In your search for meanings and purposes, do not lose sight of Joy. The Joy of Being is within you, unquenchable. Joy is the unexpected, often the surprising discovery of anyone who lives close to God. M. Smock

Articles of Belief by Benjamin Franklin
I believe there is One Supreme most perfect Being, Author and Father of the Gods themselves. For I believe that Man is not the most perfect being but One, rather that as there are many Degrees of Beings his Inferiors, so there are many Degrees of Beings superior to him.
"The Ascended Masters began Their more overt, public service among humanity in 1875, with the founding of the Theosophical Society. Theosophy was never Buddhist or Hindu per se, but drew upon both Buddhism and Vedanta for the sake of their rich lexicons of spiritual terminology, capable of describing Cosmic Law to a Western world that until then had been broadly ignorant of such matters of deeper spirituality. Theosophy was outwardly founded by Westerners, but was actually prompted and inspired from behind the scenes by Eastern Adepts, and soon came to be based near Madras, India."
The Goddess of Liberty was known in antiquity to the Greeks as Demeter and the Romans as Ceres. She received the name "Goddess of Liberty" for her complete and wholehearted identification with the Divine Quality and Flame of Liberty - her "God Consciousness" of Liberty. According to some Greek religious traditions, Demeter "dictated" the Mystery Teachings to Eumolpus approximately 1,700 B.C. He was instructed to establish the Mystery School and Temple of Demeter at Eleusis, Greece - which continued training Initiates in the Lesser and Greater Mysteries for 2,000 years.
The Gita is specific in the highest goal of life as being freedom from the rounds of rebirth, and in that bhakti toward Krishna is the path to this ultimate emancipation. There are sufficient references from Ramakrishna to know that he also accepted the reality of karma and reincarnation, and certainly to him also the goal of life was union with God.
Ascended Master Serapis Bey announced that John Paul II chose May 1, 2005 as the day of his Ascension to honor beloved Saint Germain, and that he has taken the name "John Paul the Great" in the Ascended Master Octave of Heaven.
In September 1893 Swami Vivekananda stated: " . . . that holiness, purity and charity are not the exclusive possessions of any church in the world, and that every system has produced men and women of the most exalted character."
The question is often asked as to whether the Masters, besides contemplation, have places of worship in the Higher Octaves, and do They attend Divine Services. The Maha Chohan and the Nameless One from the Center of the Universe give the answer.
The establishment and expansion of The "I AM" Activity by Ascended Master Saint Germain through Guy and Edna Ballard in the 1930's led to the release in great detail of a number of Teachings not previously known in such clarity and precision outside of the Ascended Masters' Retreats and Temples. In America Vivekananda became India's spiritual ambassador and pleaded eloquently for better understanding between India and the New World in order to create a healthy synthesis of East and West, of religion and science.
A virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel. On 15 August 1483, Sixtus IV consecrated the new chapel dedicating it to Our Lady of the Assumption. Julius II della Rovere (pontiff from 1503 to 1513), nephew of Sixtus IV, decided to partly alter the decoration, entrusting the work in 1508 to Michelangelo Buonarroti, who painted the Ceiling and, on the upper part of the walls, the lunettes. The work was finished in October 1512 and on the Feast of All Saints (1 November), Julius II inaugurated the Sistine Chapel with a solemn Mass.
Saint Germain: "The Sun cannot limit its shining to one beam, nor the Love of God to one human consciousness, no matter how well attuned it may have been to the Vibrations of the Masters. The souls of men are our concern, all men, of all colors, all countries, because from the Flame in their hearts will come the Illumination which will make this Dark Star a Flaming Sun of Freedom."
"A Mystery School is a university of the soul, a school for the study of the Mysteries of the Inner Nature of man and of surrounding nature. By understanding these Mysteries, the student perceives his intimate relationship with Divinity, and strives through self-discipline and devotion to become at one with his Inner God." Near Tepayac Hill in central Mexico, Juan Diego encountered a beautiful woman surrounded by a ball of Light as bright as the sun and, speaking in his native tongue, the beautiful lady identified herself . . .
"Our Lady�s call to conversion and penance, issued at the beginning of the twentieth century, remains timely and urgent today." The dates of Christian holy days are established by past events or by happenings which occurred centuries ago. The Wesak Festival is in recognition of a present living event.
God has always had Messengers. These are just a few. Bernadette prayed the Rosary and received Holy Communion daily and lived a life of humility and sacrifice. Although she was offered her Ascension at the close of her embodiment as Bernadette, she by her free will chose to come back into embodiment.
So what's the real nature of the world? What's it really like? We can't trust the senses. They give us a very distorted view. They break up that wholeness into a small fragment and we call it reality.
Mother Teresa has been a light to this world. She has been an example to show that giving is a part of our life. We are one family. Yogananda is an Unascended Master. He is currently serving the Light of God and Earth's people from the subtle physical sub-planes of our planet.

The story of Valentine's Day begins with Valentine and a little girl in the third century. . . . The little girl opened the note and discovered a yellow crocus inside. The message said, "From your Valentine." As the little girl looked down upon the crocus that spilled into her palm she saw brilliant colors for the first time in her life! The girl's eyesight was restored! A miracle!
