TO BELOVED SERAPIS BEY AND THE ASCENSION BROTHERHOOD AT LUXOR:

BLESSINGS from every Ascended Being who has used your gathered momentum of ascending energy as the ladder by which they returned back HOME! 

On this planet Earth, striving to fulfill God's Divine Plan, the energies already directed Heavenward are ESSENTIAL to liberate even the most Godly individual. The prayers, invocations and ascending energies of Beloved Mary, Mother of Jesus, created the spiritual ladder upon which Jesus ascended from the Hill of Bethany. In like manner, you have provided such a Cosmic tide upon which the souls of men and women may ascend when they are ready to respond to the summons from the Presence. Those who avail themselves of that tide are more easily able to complete their final victory. We who have risen on its crest are grateful for your constancy in providing such a WAY BACK HOME! 

On behalf of the mankind of Earth who are presently completing their services upon the planet Earth and who seek a way back Home, we express our gratitude that you have maintained that focus and provided that Way! 

God bless you and thank you for foregoing the sweeter bliss of the Higher Realms to sustain the Flame of the Ascension upon the Earth. Each man who rises on its crest shall one day know Victory through your constancy, your perseverance and your sacrifice to that Flame!

BELOVED SERAPIS BEY'S

ASCENSION TEMPLE AT LUXOR, EGYPT

September 15th through October 14, 1955 

The Ascension Temple of Beloved Serapis Bey is dedicated and consecrated to providing an ascending current of energy upon which any individual, when purified enough, may return to the Realm of Perfection and become an Ascended Being. 

This current is made up of actual energy, focused through the minds, feelings and bodies of the Brothers and Sisters of the Ascension Temple, in adoration, prayer and devotion to God. Thus, each Member widens the river of ascending energy by his own personal and collective participation in such services. The conscious descent of mankind and the Guardian Spirits into the Earth's atmosphere was for the purpose of magnetizing the perfection of the Kingdom of Heaven and molding that perfection into the substance and form of the physical world. Even as the physical Sun "steps down" the radiation of the Central Sun of our System, so did every lifestream given opportunity to embody upon Earth vow to externalize some portion of the Divine Plan. When the lifestream had completed that service, it was to ascend back into its natural estate of perfection. 

However, mankind lost the memory of that initial purpose, reason for being, and lost also the conscious capacity to find its way back home. 

The Ascension Brotherhood, knowing that sometime, somewhere, each individual must complete its cycle of individualization and return to its Source, have kept the door open so that those who complete their services and qualify for graduation might have the assistance of their buoyant energies upon which to ascend. 

Because of the mass accumulation of discordantly qualified energy filling Earth's atmosphere, no unascended being can accomplish this Ascension alone! At the time when the individual has finally completed his service to life upon the Earth-plane, some member of this Brotherhood assists him to rise upon the Cosmic tide of the Ascension Flame into his rightful estate in God's Kingdom. Each such ascending lifestream contributes the joyous energies of his own world to the Ascension Flame as he achieves this final victory. In this way every ascension makes wider, more joyous, more powerful and more buoyant the Ascension Flame and this Flame becomes an ever-increasing assistance, to be used by those who follow on into the Ascended Masters' Realm, each in his own appointed time. 

Angels from the Ascension Temple gather together all the praise, adoration, songs, devotions and blessings sent upward by individuals in congregational worship or individual application and these currents are carefully woven into this ever widening Spiritual Stream of energy. Each Ascension makes it easier for the next lifestream to avail itself of the full gathered. Cosmic momentum of Those who have gone before. 

Therefore, dear reader, all your prayers and invocations are already a part of that Ascension Flame, guarded and sustained by the Brotherhood at Luxor. One day, when your own call comes, you will be grateful for the ascending tide of energy which helps your sublimated soul in its final journey into the Ascended Master Realm.
