Beloved children of my heart:

Love and Blessings of

THE MAHA CHOHAN

BELOVED SERAPIS BEY speaks: 

"Beloved friends interested in the ascension of energy, I greet you on behalf of the Brotherhood at Luxor, hoping that you shall enjoy the thirty-day association with myself, with the Serapic Host, with the brothers and sisters at Luxor and with the beloved Lady Sponsors that shall stand with you, to give to you EVERY GOD ASSISTANCE in the redemption of discordantly qualified energies through the SILENT use of the Sacred Fire. 

Beloved ones, self mastery comes when you, through the senses, cognize imperfection and, holding steady within your own God harmony and mastery, draw forth these activities of the Sacred Fire through that appearance of discord until the quality of energy is charged into a harmonious and happy state of being! 

This is an actual possibility for unascended lifestreams. You are surrounded with opportunity to change the quality of energy in persons, places, conditions and things without even issuing a spoken word, which ofttimes stirs up the outer selves of another individual to resentments and rebellion which in turn, become a part of the destructive karma which you shall have to redeem. There is a time for use of the spoken word and there is a time for silence. The discrimination developed in the chela will determine to a great extent the efficacy with which he or she utilizes the powers of the Sacred Fire silently when discrimination and discretion show that the requirement is such that the spoken word will not assist the individual in distress or when your own energies are in perfect harmony and you can give a word of assistance to another individual without stirring the seas of their emotions. 

Beloved ones, the use of any powers of the Sacred Fire is very practical. These powers were used in the early Golden Ages by every true member of the White Order to magnetize from the Perfected Realms those Virtues and Gifts of Almighty God. These beings sustained those Flames in certain Spiritual Foci where the Individual responsible for the drawing forth of that Flame chose to establish it and those Flames were visible at that time to the physical sight of the mass of the people, particularly due to the concentrated endeavor of the chief Hierarch and his priesthood. 

Those Flames, with their beautiful radiation flowing forth in magnificent constructive and positive color carrying, a glorious feeling of the gift of the Virtue so represented, made a magnificent aura in the emotional, mental, etheric and physical strata in which the people abided. The colors of the lower atmosphere of Earth were beautiful, positive and constructive; the Music of the Spheres was a natural outpouring from the Earth because of the sustained radiation of the Virtues by the Priesthood and the harmony in which the masses were bathed as a result of the magnetization, emanation and projection of these God Virtues into their feeling words, helped them to feel buoyant, energized and spiritually attuned at all times. 

This was the reason why the early Root Races were able so easily, within the course of fourteen thousand years, to complete their experiences on the Earth and to return into the Ascension without any struggle or strain. The experience of using their thoughts, feelings, spoken words, and actions while in physical embodiment was a matter of their own choice to gain self mastery in these lower realms. They had no weight of discord upon them; they had rather in, through and around themselves all that buoyant energy filled with the qualities of the Seven Rays and they had marvelous activity of the visible, tangible Presence of the Cosmic Beings, the Ascended Masters, the Seraphic and Cherubic Hosts and the actual Flames of God! This gave great confidence to each individual evolving and such evolution was perfect, harmonious and most beautiful. The atmosphere of Earth later changed and one of the main reasons for that change was when the Beings who represented the anchorage for the various Virtues of Almighty God here in the physical appearance world were, through Cosmic Law, forced to withdraw into the etheric realm and those beautiful Flames that had been visible to the sight of mankind no longer were visible, although they still continued to do their active work. 

Now we are engaged again in the re-creation of a Permanent Golden Age upon this planet Earth and this re-creation will consist of the establishment in the physical appearance world, visible to the physical sight of the masses, of these magnificent glorious God Flames and Virtues - One of which, of course, I love most dearly, the Ascension Flame which we carried in great happiness and yet with great sense of responsibility from Atlantis to Egypt - which we have nourished with our very Life Breath; which we have sustained through the ages, renouncing the glories of nirvana in order that that Flame might be available for the ascending consciousness of anyone of the ten billion souls using the Earth as a schoolroom. 

Sometimes that Ascension Flame was only used by one lifestream in a hundred year span. Remember kindly the patience of those of us who know that someday mankind pressed to the extremity of the requirement for redemption would require a way back home! We sustained that Flame patiently, holding the door open into the Ascended Master Realms for any elemental, any imprisoned Angel, any member of the human race who chose to avail himself or itself of its power to achieve the glory and victory of the Ascension in the light. 

It is obvious to earnest and sincere students that the Ascension into the Perfected Realms of Light is the goal for every one of mankind as well as all those laggards from the other systems that belong at present to Earth's evolution. The Ascension in the Light is essential for the full manifest expression of the Divine Plan for every elemental, for every Angel who, through love for mankind, took temporary embodiment in the human race as well as for every human being belonging to Earth's evolution. It is our great opportunity, in this year of Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-eight, when the Presence of the Angelic Host is greatly increased to offer you again a conscious reminder that the Ascension Flame is practical and can be utilized in the most mundane service to change the qualities of energies of so called inanimate objects as well as the quality of energy in human beings who, are in temporary distress. 

Beloved ones, desiring to be a part of this redemptive process; please use this Ascension Flame from the very heart of the Earth and let it rise and rise and rise through the Earth element, the Water element, the Air element and the Fire element and enjoy the change of the qualification of discordant energy which will be the result of your application silently or audibly! 

Many of you have been interested in the Ascension Flame back on Atlantis; some of you were with us when we received notice that the great Island of Poseidonis was to receive her rest beneath the waves. Some among you were in the very boat that carried the Ascension Flame across the sea to Egypt. The Cosmic Law did not count in our favor any destructive karma in the members of those groups of forty who embarked upon those boats. Therefore, those of us who took the responsibility of accepting the groups who were to carry the various Flames from Poseidonis had to look very carefully into the karma of every member who honestly and sincerely desired to be a part of that great transference of the Flames. 

Those chosen by meritorious service in the past were examined by each of us because we knew that, the chain being as strong as its weakest link, Our success in reaching the-goal to which we were directed to carry the Flame would be determined by  transmutation of the destructive karma of the individuals who represented the Priest., and Priestesses who sailed with us, Some of that karma was not fully transmuted and some of the beautiful Priests and Priestesses, together with their entire boatload of followers and the Flame itself did not reach harbor in safety. 

We, ourselves, reached the shores of Egypt and proceeded up the Nile and we had only established the Ascension Flame upon the landed surface, breathing upon it our love and light, when the quake shook the Earth and we knew that Poseidonis had sunk beneath the sea. With the joy of seeing that Ascension Flame still burning, we had within our hearts a feeling of sorrow for the Continent which we had loved, upon which we had lived so long, and those of us with inner sight had a feeling of regret for our brothers and sisters who had not fully accomplished their journey and who were engulfed in the tremendous waves as Neptune's undines performed the service of ablution for a continent and its peoples which were in sore need of rest. 

So at Luxor, beloved ones, we began again the rhythm of magnetizing, sustaining and expanding the Ascension Flame. I, myself, re-embodied there again and again. Many of you did too and through that dedication of the loyal Priesthood, we have sustained it. The Ascension Flame and all that represents the Fourth Ray has never been too popular to mankind since they have accepted the destructive use of the free will. Therefore the Ascension Temple, the Ascension Flame and everything connected with Purity has required a tremendous power of positive energy to sustain itself in the physical, mental, etheric and emotional atmosphere of mankind. Every Hierarch, every brother and sister of the Ascension Temple has had to have a tremendous positive energy to sustain this purified quality - this purified Flame - and to make it available for those who are ready to go back home. 

Beloved ones, if the Ascension Flame and we who represent it had not remained' in the Earth's atmosphere there would be for all the peoples on the Earth and belonging to this evolution no open door into Heaven's Realms. Think on the magnificent sacrifice of the Brotherhood at Luxor in so providing that open door through which you, and eventually all mankind, shall attain the Victory of the Ascension in glory and happiness, having the benefit of all the happy feelings of everyone who has utilized this Flame and known God-freedom through the ages that have been as well as in the present day. 

We are very grateful that you enter Luxor without fear. We have at Luxor so much of beauty, so much of love, so much of interest! Yet mankind rejecting the activity of purification has chosen to censure us for sustaining this activity which is the salvation of the individual and the race. This Ascension Flame will be utilized in cosmic proportions when the entire universe including Helios and Vesta and all the planets belonging to this solar system, rise in the Cosmic Ascension towards Alpha and Omega in the days that are to come. 

Realize the power that is within that Flame! There is no reason for anyone under our radiation and in direct connection with our very selves to allow untransmuted energy to be imprisoned. Remember often that it not the human will but it is the magnificent calls to God Free Beings for the use of our full gathered cosmic momentum of power which renders that service of changing the quality of energy and gives you the personal joy and feeling of confidence in accomplishment which will make you more and more eager to master energy NOT BY DOMINATION but by LOVE and discriminate use of these various Flames and Rays, which we have explained over and over again. 

You may start upon a very small scale; you may start upon a very small object; you may start upon your own lifestream and FEEL what that Ascension Flame can do in changing the quality of energy, so long as you tell no man! Jesus' admonition is as true today as it was in the days when he rendered the service of transmuting energy through the Violet Fire, the resurrection of the good in the lifestream, and the Ascension Flame. His admonition to his disciples in all private conversations with them was that they tell no man that which' they were doing; first because an individual draws-towards himself the jealousies, the resentments, the rebellions of the masses; and second until such an individual becomes an Ascended Being there is the worm of spiritual pride within the feelings that ENJOYS accomplishment and enjoys speaking of works well done. 

BELOVED ONES, when you use these Powers, when you make this transmutation an actual practical manifestation you shall not have to tell any man or woman because your works will be the manifest expression of your application. Thus you can protect yourself from known and unknown unseen forces outside yourself and you protect yourself from any personal ego which you might not even know was in the folds of your etheric consciousness waiting to come to the surface when you least expect it. 

I am speaking to you as I speak to those who apply before me at Luxor for opportunity to enter into our Retreat. When these people come, brave souls, desiring the discipline at Luxor and they find themselves before my Presence and all their secret thoughts and feelings and etheric memories externalized, many of them do not choose to go any further, they, seeing those externalized manifestations, ask to have them returned into their individual Pandora's box and they go back into the world. But some brave and hardy souls desire honestly in their motives to learn the power of Transmutation of the misuse of their own life through the ages. One of the admonitions which I give to each one, as he is accepted as a candidate for the Ascension, is that he tells no man, even in the Retreat, how he is progressing. 

Now, in an. Ascended Master's Retreat where you have unascended chelas all in different states of development, living in a common community, beloved ones, the wise chela retiring to his small room with the high window and the plain pallet and the jug of clear water, decides within himself how much discipline and how much instruction he requires and is able to accept and use. No one but myself, as the Hierarch and the Teacher whom I have directed to guard and guide such an one, knows in what grade or in what Temple of the Ascension at Luxor that chela is - but the unwise chela who spreads among the other trainees what Temple he is in, what initiations he is going through, has to handle all of the energy of not only his own classmates but very often his Superior. Sometimes a very young novitiate has a greater spiritual nature than an individual who has been at the Retreat for hundreds of years, having learned to sustain life in a physical form and who has achieved a position as a Teacher, although he or she has not yet attained the Ascension. 

When a novitiate of this type is placed under such a Teacher and that novitiate's light expands far beyond that of the teacher, you can well understand that there is the requirement for discernment, discretion and diplomacy upon the part of the novitiate in order that he may serve under his Teacher, help that Teacher to expand his light, and not in any measure stir up a resentment upon the behalf of the Teacher who for some reason or other has not yet gained the full Ascension. 

This is a very important point for those who developed beyond the masses to a place of spiritual evolution where he or she receives personal direction from the Ascended Host of Light. The more knowledge that is given to you; the more radiation that pours to and through you, the more responsible you are to the God that made you for what you do with that knowledge received and the more humble must become your soul. If the soul swells and inflates with knowledge, the Cosmic Law, in mercy, does not allow any more of such spiritual knowledge to be released until the soul balance its debt to life and realizes the full significance of the gift coming from God through his Divine Messengers into its very self and desires to be an active part in the redemption of the sons and daughters of the peoples of Earth! 

Beloved ones, when you ask for more and more knowledge and spiritual law when you call for our Presence and our words and our radiation, REMEMBER WELL that he that is greatest among you shall always be he who is the least. Remember, it is not the pompoms; it is not the externalized manifestation of the human ego which is the expression of the Great White Brotherhood but it is rather the humble, the gentle of spirit, the positive in consciousness in the realization of God's Presence; the one that walks with grace wheresoever life may direct and leaves a path of happiness behind who is our representative. A little time of introspection; a little time of reflection, will show you the condition of your own soul's light. Then through the use of the redemptive powers of the Violet Fire and the Ascension Flame, you can make things right. It is in the redeeming of your souls, beloved ones, that we are interested. As Beloved Lord Maitreya said to you some time ago, it is the souls of men which are sick and diseased, wherein are the seeds that spew forth every type of distress of mind, body, world and affairs. It is into the cause and core of those seeds within the souls of men that we direct the purifying activity of the Fourth Ray until those seeds are transmuted and their causes and effects in manifestation cease to be. 

On behalf of all mankind, all elemental life, all imprisoned Angels, every living thing in and upon the planet Earth itself today, I, SERAPIS OF LUXOR invite you, all life everywhere, into our Presence and invite you to utilize to the fullest possible extent these powers of the Sacred Fire which are ours to give and yours to receive, in love. Accept us, utilize these gifts, and love us as we love you. We have loved you so long, standing sponsor again and again for you before the Karmic Board, when you signified (at rare intervals) that you wanted to achieve the Ascension in the Light. 

Such time we offered to stand Sponsor for you and give you every opportunity, even if you did not come to Luxor, to become a redemptive center in yourselves, then redemptive centers as groups, magnificent indeed, until the day comes when all of these Flames. of God shall again be visible and you and I shall rejoice together that We have loved life sufficiently to remain prisoners of love until the Earth takes her place as Freedom's Star, when the Music of the Spheres is again released from the Earth and its people, until the Angels are visible to the physical sight of mankind; until disease, disintegration and decay and so-called death itself are wiped from this Earth; until harmony reigns in the individual, in the Nature Kingdom, among nations and upon the whole Planet. 

To this end are we consecrated; to this end do we serve. 

Joining your hands during this thirty-day period, we, offer you all of the happiness of Luxor. We offer you our gardens. We offer you our magnificent books and music. We offer you our treasures of art. We offer you those Teachers whom you might be interested in hearing give certain activities of the Law. 

To all the world I say today, I stand as an Open Door, Hierarch of Luxor, COME TO THE HEART OF OUR RETREAT. Thank you beloved friends. 

NOTICE: There are Three Distinct Evolutions in the Earth, upon its surface and in its atmosphere: the Angelic, the human and the elemental Kingdoms. Each of these Three Kingdoms can ascend into the perfection of their own Divine Plan from their own evolution or can, upon election, enter the human kingdom for some specific service. Thus an elemental, in the process of evolution, becomes a Nature Spirit, an imprisoned Angel becomes a God Free Angel and a human being becomes an Ascended Master.
