Blavatsky with Kuthumi, Morya, and Saint Germain

Helena Blavatsky with Kuthumi, Morya, and Saint Germain

This famous image is actually a painting - not a photo. Masters Morya and Kuthumi Ascended in 1898, while Saint Germain Ascended prior to 1875. (They can appear in a Visible, Tangible Body.) Blavatsky has not yet Ascended, but is working with the Brotherhood and Sisterhood of Light in one of the Inner Retreats.

 


CAUTION: Please note! These research library links are made available for their historical value and interest - not because of their accuracy. There is much that is erroneous, inaccurate, or incomplete. These authors did not have the benefit of the setting aside of the occult law. The Dispensation by the Karmic Board for the establishment and expansion of The "I AM" Activity by Ascended Master Saint Germain through Guy and Edna Ballard in the 1930s led to the release in great detail of a number of Teachings not previously known in such clarity and precision outside of the Masters' Retreats and Temples. Today in the twenty-first century, the Ascended Masters are publicly releasing the correct understanding and Teaching of the Truth of the Law. Beloved Vesta has promised that this clear defining of the facts will continue to occur through The Temple of The Presence and will be "an ongoing Release of Light from the Heart of the Great Central Sun to bring forth the Truth and the Reality of God. Where there is error, where there is a misrepresentation, it will be dispelled by My Representatives. And My Representatives will go forward in the Fullness of the Light. And where that Light stands, no untruth, no unreality can stand."   (Vesta, October 11, 1998 Copyright © 1998 The Temple of The Presence ®)


From Within Out


ascended masters   The Masters and the Path   by Charles W. Leadbeater

It has been said that the history of every nation could be written in the biography of a few individuals, and that it is always the few, towering above the rest, who initiate the great forward steps in art, music, literature, science, philosophy, philanthropy, statecraft, and religion. They stand high sometimes in love of God and their fellow-men, as great saints and philanthropists; sometimes in understanding of man and Nature, as great philosophers, sages and scientists; sometimes in work for humanity, as great liberators and reformers.

ascended masters   A Casebook of Encounters with the Theosophical Mahatmas   Compiled and edited by Daniel H. Caldwell

Henry S. Olcott: "He said he would show me the production of flowers as the adepts do it. At the same time pointing to the air, fancy - the shadowy outlines of flower after flower and leaf after leaf grew out of nothing. The room was perfectly light; in fact the sun was shining in. The flowers grew solid. A beautiful perfume saturated the air. They were suspended as the down of a thistle in the air; each separate from the other. Then they formed themselves into bouquets and a splendid large one of roses, lilies of the valley, camelias, jessamine and carnations floated down and placed itself in my hand. Then the others separated again and fell in a shower to the floor. I was stupefied with the manifestation."

ascended masters   Rosicrucian and Masonic Origins   by Manly Palmer Hall

Francis Bacon was a member of the same group to which Sir Walter Raleigh belonged, but Bacon’s position as Lord High Chancellor protected him from Raleigh’s fate. Every effort was made, however, to humiliate and discredit him. At last, in the sixty-sixth year of his life, having completed the work which held him in England, Bacon feigned death and passed over into Germany, there to guide the destinies of his philosophic and political fraternity for nearly 58 years before his beimg Illumined and Raised in 1684.

ascended masters   The Prince of the House of David: A Series of the Letters of Adina   by Joseph Holt Ingraham (1809 - 1860)

These "letters from Adina" are a beautiful account of the Life of Jesus. Edna Ballard used this literary work as a resource for the "I AM Come" Pageant in Shasta Springs, California. Adina was a contemporary of the Master of Galilee and a past embodiment of Edna Ballard (now the Ascended Lady Master Lotus). This "pdf" text written by Joseph Holt Ingraham is a moving re-creation of Adina's eyewitness accounts of Jesus' Ministry: "Upon our knees, in speechless amazement, we followed His Ascent with our amazed eyes, not a word being spoken by any soul; nay hearts might have been heard beating in the intense expectation of the moment! Lo! in the far-off height of heaven, we beheld suddenly appear a bright Cloud, no larger than a man’s hand, but each instant it expanded and grew broader and brighter, and, swift as the winged lightning, descended through the firmament downward, until we beheld it evolve itself into a glittering Host of Angels, which no man could number, countless as the stars of heaven."

ascended masters   The Liberty Tree   by Thomas Paine

"The Goddess of Liberty came. Ten thousand Celestials directed her way."

ascended masters   The Source   by Henry van Dyke, with an Introduction by David Tame

"The Source is God. More specifically, for each individual it is their own Individualized Mighty I AM Presence. The Water represents the Light of God as illimitable ‘electrons’ of Purity, Life, Love, Abundance, Perfection, and all of God’s Qualities as that Light flows down the crystal cord from the God Self or I AM Presence to the four lower bodies. The Light flows down the cord individually for each person, but collectively a society or civilization rises or falls, and displays or contains all these Qualities of God’s Abundance, according to how much of the Light is received by the peoples collectively."

ascended masters   Mystery Schools Through the Ages   by Grace F. Knoche

"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."

ascended masters   Charles Webster Leadbeater web site

Charles Webster Leadbeater was a well-known clairvoyant and theosophist who dedicated his life to the dissemination of the ancient Wisdom traditions. This is a link to the web site dedicated to his work and research.

ascended masters   The Theogony   by Hesiod

"So said the ready-voiced Daughters of great Zeus, and they plucked and gave me a rod, a shoot of sturdy laurel, a marvelous thing, and breathed into me a Divine Voice to celebrate things that shall be and things there were aforetime; and they bade me sing of the race of the blessed Gods that are eternally. . . ."

ascended masters   The Life of Proclus - or Concerning Happiness   by Marinus of Samaria

Regarding this embodiment of Saint Germain, his close friend Marinus wrote: "As the most suitable foundation for this essay I shall adopt the happiness enjoyed by this truly blessed man. For I believe that he has been the happiest of all men whose happiness has for centuries been celebrated. Nor am I speaking merely of the happiness which is allotted to sages, although that also he enjoyed to the fullest extent, - - but I am referring to a complete and perfect happiness, to which absolutely nothing was lacking."

ascended masters   A Hymn to All the Gods   by Proclus

"Hear me, ye Gods, who hold firmly the tiller of Sacred Wisdom. Ye who kindle within men's souls a Fire that flames upward and draws them toward Heavenly things, when they have abandoned . . . "

ascended masters   The Hymns of Proclus   Transcribed by Roger Pearse

"Above these seven-fold starry orbs you reign, Imparting to our ties, with bounteous Mind, A Power untamed, a Vigour unconfined . . ."

ascended masters   The Comte De Gabalis or Discourses on Secret Sciences   Released by Francis Bacon in 1670

"Adam was closely related to these perfect creatures, for being created out of all that was purest in the four Elements, he combined in himself the perfections of these four races of Peoples and was their natural King. As you will learn later, however, the moment his sin had precipitated him into the dregs of the Elements, the harmony was disturbed, and there could no longer be any relation between him, gross and impure as he had become, and these pure and subtle beings. How remedy this evil? How restring the lute and recover that lost sovereignty? Oh Nature! Why art thou so little studied? Do you not understand, my Son, how easy Nature finds it to restore to man the estate which he has lost?"

ascended masters   Encyclopedic Theosophical Glossary

This electronic version of the Encyclopedic Theosophical Glossary is presented to the public as a work in progress. The manuscript, produced originally in the 1930s and '40s, is currently being revised and expanded by the Editorial Committee. Theosophical University Press is presenting this working version online because, even in its present unfinished form, we feel that the contents will be of value to students of theosophical literature, particularly of the works of H. P. Blavatsky.

ascended masters   Masters of Theosophy

The Mahatmas were the direct, in-person, Instructors of Helena P. Blavatsky. They "wrote" letters to A.P. Sinnett - The Mahatma Letters - by precipitating those letters apparently out of the air. These letters are currently in the British Museum in London.

ascended masters   Alchemy Books - Genuine Texts Free to Download

"Let me declare – because I can speak in the light of true knowledge – that the early alchemists were not nearly so unsuccessful as history would have men believe." Saint Germain in Studies in Alchemy     "As above, so below; the lesser and greater; microcosm and macrocosm: they are the same. Following this principle, all things were made from the One." Hermes in The Emerald Tablet

ascended masters   Roger Bacon and the History of Alchemy   by Edmund Brehm

"Alchemy has, throughout its history, also been associated with the esoteric, spiritual beliefs of Hermeticism and thus is a proper subject for the historian of religious thought."

ascended masters   A Wanderer in the Spirit Lands   by Francezzo, transcribed by A. Farnese

Written in 1896, the Work of the Brotherhood in serving the Flame of God in humanity is described in the various planes of the physical, astral, mental, and memory (etheric) octaves of Earth.

ascended masters   Christmas - Its Origin and Associations   by William Francis Dawson

Accounts of early celebrations of the Nativity, ecclesiastical decisions fixing the date of Christmas, the connection of Christmas with the festivals of the ancients, Christmas in times of persecution, early celebrations in Britain, stately Christmas meetings of the Saxon, Danish, and Norman kings of England; Christmas during the wars of the Roses, Royal Christmases under the Tudors, the Stuarts and the Kings and Queens of Modern England; Christmas at the Colleges and the Inns of Court; Entertainments of the nobility and gentry, and popular festivities; accounts of Christmas celebrations in different parts of Europe, in America and Canada, in Africa and the ice-bound Arctic coasts, in India and China, at the Antipodes, in Australia and New Zealand, and in the Islands of the Pacific.

ascended masters   Nirvana   by George S. Arundale

"I clearly perceive how dangerous it is to have weaknesses. I really do not know what I should do if I became unable to control myself most rigidly, so that the more harmful weaknesses simply cease to exist. They must go if I am to travel with reasonable speed through the various sub-planes of Nirvana, or I might meet with a terrible catastrophe. Certain weaknesses are probably more dangerous than others. It is very dangerous to be proud; to be angry and irritable; to exaggerate, still more to lie; to misunderstand, to wrong another, to be uncharitable, or destructively critical; to have the lower prejudices and superstitions."

ascended masters   The Most Holy Trinosophia   by Comte de St. Germain

Homer refers to the Golden Chain by which the Gods conspired to bind the earth to the pinnacle of Olympus. In each age there appears some few persons whose words and actions demonstrate clearly that they are of an order different from the rest of society. Humanity is guided over critical periods in the development of civilization by mysterious forces such as were personified in Saint Germain.

ascended masters   Apollonius of Tyana, the Philosopher Reformer   by George Robert Stowe Mead

Apollonius of Tyana was the most famous philosopher of the Graeco-Roman world of the first century, and devoted the major part of his long life to the purification of the many cults of the Empire and to the instruction of the ministers and priests of its religions. With the exception of the Christ no more interesting personage appears upon the stage of Western history in these early years.

ascended masters   The Life Everlasting: A Reality of Romance   by Marie Corelli

The Reality of Life is Happiness; the Delusion of Life, which we ourselves create by improper balance and imperfect comprehension of our own powers, must needs cause Sorrow, because in such self-deception we only dimly see the truth, just as a person born blind may vaguely guess at the beauty of bright day. But for the Soul that has found Itself, there are no more misleading lights or shadows between its own everlastingness and the everlastingness of God.

ascended masters   The Lost Secret of William Shakespeare   by Richard Allen Wagner

Shakespeare is the world‘s greatest example of literary art. But without knowing the WHO, HOW and WHY of the Shakespearean Work, it‘s impossible to truly understand it! Truth is rarely what you expect it to be, and it always hides in plain sight — it has to be DISCOVERED. GO . . . DISCOVER!   This 338 page e-book is available online free of charge.

Although there is some correct information in this old Theosophical Society chart, there are also some errors.
For example, what is labeled "third outpouring", should actually be the first outpouring of Light all the way down to the physical.
Serious students of the Higher Realities are urged to attend Acropolis Sophia for accurate information on the Planes of Consciousness.
