ASCENSION CONCEPTS
Resurrection, from the Latin …“To rise again” (in vibration) …“to appear” (from the unseen into the world).
In the Thesaurus, under “resurrection”, one sees the subtitle “removal to Heaven”. This is our service of seeing the electron at the level of the perfect expression of every person, place, condition and thing. Several synonyms of “resurrection” include apotheosis, translation, assumption, re-creation, rebirth, regenesis, restoration and gathering …as in the Gathering of Ascended Humanity. Hence we are the Resurrection of Ascended Humanity. Another subtitle under “resurrection” is “removal to Abraham’s bosom”, with Abraham allegorically referring to the I AM Presence (or, first Father / Patriarch …“from whence all things sprang” …as in “we are all Children of Abraham”).
Let us contemplate the Gathering of Ascended Humanity to mean the removal of Christed Humanity into the bosom of the Glorious I AM Presence. “Apotheosis” (from the Greek; apo, from and Theos, God) refers to a glorified ideal, as in deification, to consecrate or elevate (in vibration) a thing or person into its State of Godhood. Let us maintain a solid Faith that this is precisely what is occurring …precisely what we are creating …precisely the Cosmic Currents pouring into Earth at this time. As we know from the Violet Fire, all things past and future are now collapsing into the present, so the apotheosis (or Resurrection) takes place in the present, without having to change space or time …here and now raising all things into their Ascended State!
In Christian teaching, the Resurrection refers to “the rising of all the dead at the Last Judgment”. In the biblical phrase “the quick and the dead”, the “quick” refers to the higher vibration of a thing or person and “the dead” refers to its lower vibratory expression. Therefore, the “Last Judgment of God” is really the final choice or final use of judgment by all beings that, by original intent of spiritual development (the Divine Plan) should by now be Gods! Each one may now choose their “quick” or higher vibration, forever letting go their lower expression. This is the Cosmic Moment the Earth and Humanity have entered and the hope of a glorious outcome of all present circumstances.
The Season of the Resurrection is in preparing for Easter and thereafter (by 40 days in the Christian drama), the Ascension. The Eternal Spring refers to that original State of Holy Innocence, the Garden of Heaven on Earth, into which all Root Races were to be born, evolve into Godhood and claim their Ascension. Let us rejoice that, once again, we are indeed in the Season of Resurrection for all Humanity and anticipate with every breath the Eternal Spring …a Kingdom of Divine Consciousness wherein each one has the Spiritual Freedom to truly fulfill their Divine Plan.

The Energy, Vibration and Consciousness of the Cosmic Angel of Restoration ...and the Universal Momentum of Resurrection;
I AM a Cosmic Principle. I exist throughout Universal I AM …here, there and everywhere present. Yet I also express as individual thoughts, feelings, memories or even physical form (as in the example of our Beloved Jesus). I delight in communication with Humanity, whose attention on this Principle is not as sustained as with the Elemental Kingdom, as I rhythmically express through the elementals as springtime, in the eternal cycle of the seasons. But my delight is that as I commune with Ascended Humanity, I may commune as one of you …one with you in Energy, Vibration and Consciousness.
Contemplate the following. The Sacred Activity of “Resurrection and Ascension” is the restoration of the conditions of consciousness whereby Sacred Fire behaves as effectively in the daily life of a planet (in this case Humanity) as it does in the Ascended Master’s Realms of Light. Eternal Spring is in living within the effects of Sacred Fire, whereby everything in daily life is continually made new …a new form, a Higher Expression of itself in cyclical fashion …rhythmically re-born throughout eternity.
Sacred Fire is the First Cause of God. It expresses itself as the Perfection of Being …the multi-dimensional world of infinite potential created in the Heart and Mind of God. Sacred Fire contains all the breadth of God Qualities ever conceived of by the Highest God Parents. There are countless God Qualities not yet conceived of in the consciousness of even the most evolved of Humanity. There are Systems of Worlds where there are thousands of Solar Rays, just as Humanity is currently progressing from the Seven Rays of the planetary Christ to the Twelve Solar Rays of the Cosmic Christ, within this System of Worlds under Helios and Vesta. Contemplate the God Qualities within thousands of Solar Rays!
God’s Light automatically contains all the energy, matter and intelligence necessary to express the Divine Plan. The initial impulse of First Cause is in its expression as Sacred Fire …which then further expresses as Manifestation through the evolving Race of that planet (again, in this case Humanity). This is the Cycle of Expression …God expressing as First Cause …First Cause expressing as Sacred Fire …Sacred Flame expressing as Manifestation …Manifestation expressing as Ascended Humanity and all her thoughts, feelings, memories and action …which in turn re-begins the Cycle, with Humanity as God In Action again generating Cause! And on it goes. Contemplate this.
Ascension is in restoring our creative faculties to their original purpose, using God’s Light and Sacred Fire in the fashion and effectiveness intended in the beginning. This requires purification and retraining of these faculties …(Biblically) to “go forth and sin no more”, or (New Age) “placing all physical, etheric, mental and emotional karmic patterns in the Sacred Violet Fire and replacing them with Electronic Perfection Patterns from the I AM Presence,” (as we did in last month’s cycle dedicated to the Violet Fire).
In our Cosmic Mind we realize Spiritual Fire is the supreme Element. Our physical vehicles are principally composed of water, air and earth, which are then animated by Sacred Fire, anchored from the Mighty God Presence in the Heart. In the Ascension, the Transmuting Power of Sacred Fire eventually transmutes and assimilates the other three Elements (earth, air and water). Previous to this, when the average human being passes from embodiment, their Sacred Fire within Ascends into the Etheric Realms of Light. The other three elements are absorbed back into their own strata (hopefully through cremation). However, when the Ascension occurs, the Sacred Fire within gently but powerfully assimilates all other elemental substance while the body still functions. We are then Resurrected into our Light Body. Therefore, living within the Sacred Fire and having it permeate all of our substance (physical, etheric, mental and emotional) allows us to claim the Ascension, yet remain in the body, serving within the daily life of Humanity.
This occurred through Beloved Jesus. Following his Baptism (by John the Baptist), his physical elements were assumed by Sacred Fire (using the analogy of water, with the River Jordan being the River of Light and Sacred Fire flowing from the Mighty God Presence). Blessed Jesus then served from his Ascended Consciousness yet from within embodied vehicles. He set the example of remaining very finely tuned by Sacred Fire capable of operating in the flesh at a frequency akin to the Ascended Realms. This allowed the natural gifts of these Realms of Light to appear in Humanity’s daily life, presenting as “miracles” to those not yet initiated in such Divine Consciousness. This is the meaning of the Christ being both human and Divine and is the state we now enter into as Ascended Humanity. This allows us to be of practical service within the realm needing assistance, yet living in oneness with our Ascended Self. We continually serve from this Exalted State until all are prepared for the Ascension …by all life being transmuted into Light through our Mastery of Sacred Fire and the contagion of this Truth infiltrating all Humanity.[1]
Attaining this brings the Gifts of Holy Spirit. These include precipitation (co-creation with God); etherialization (returning to God); instantaneous healing; speaking in the tongue of any person (the Language of Universal I AM!); levitation; use of the All-Seeing Eye (reading the aura and thereby the purity of intent of the thoughts and feelings of others); and the Mastery of Sacred Fire in being able to raise any person, place, condition or thing into a higher vibration (Lazarus rising from the dead) …all done while remaining invisible from all lower vibration.
Representing Ascended Humanity, we now have become Disciples of Holy Spirit. Our goal is to live by the Code of Conduct of Holy Spirit.[2] Our Divine Plan is not to draw attention to ourselves individually but to use “these years of our Ministry” (Beloved Jesus had three short years of his Ministry) in collectively raising all life into its Resurrected and Ascended State, through our Enlightenment, our Mastery of Sacred Fire and our Direction of Light Rays …Together, standing in the Light!
Beloved Jesus further represented the Resurrection Flame when he accepted having his embodied vehicle crucified. He then proved the Power of Resurrection over “death” (the last of the great fears) and the natural state of living in the Eternal Spring …a Light Body at one with the Glorious God Presence, yet able to walk and talk with others who are yet unascended. After his “Resurrection from the tomb” and before his physical Ascension from Bethany Hill he was able to live by the Laws of Light as an Ascended Master, and be here, there and everywhere present. During these 40 days, much service for Humanity was done that is not necessarily recorded. Like Beloved Jesus (“everything I have done, so shall ye also do …and greater things”), we now enter a phase of our service where we over come the “little deaths” (the effects on our being of returning karmic patterns) and prove the Power of Living in the Light, through manifesting the Patterns of Perfection from within the Flame of Spiritual Freedom.
PURIFICATION AND SERVICE
The Ascension is predicated on two principle conditions. The first is the above concept of Sacred Fire absorbing us into its innate perfection …that our vehicles are purified and aligned with the Mighty God Presence in form and function …in short, Purification. The second is that our service to life on Earth is complete. This second principle is one of the mysteries of life as to why some of the most evolved individuals have not yet accepted the Ascension. In fact, accepting the Ascension is a wholly free-will endeavor, with some who have earned it and fulfilled both requirements, deciding to forego it in favor of extended service. Such Beings are greatly honored in the Realms of Light[3]. Some among Humanity are truly “old souls” and their planned service to the planet has extended over many ages of development. Their embodiments are numbered in the thousands. Others may have a Divine Plan that calls for only several embodiments to fulfill a certain gift to Humanity or some specific population within her.[4]
We now enter a Cosmic Moment when, for the majority of individuals within Humanity, their service to Earth is complete and thus one of the two major principles of the Ascension is accomplished. This coincides with the timing of the Great Cosmic Inbreath and thus all is in Divine Order. The purpose of all these “individual services” coming to a common completion is our Theme and Thoughtform …Ascended Humanity coming to the fore at this Sacred Moment, so that Earth may fully join the Solar Progression of the Planets. All that is left to complete is the first principle, that of the Truth of Sacred Fire being introduced in a fashion that readies all Humanity for full purification and alignment with the Mighty God Presence. This is captured in the “Second Coming” …the emergence of the Solar Christ Presence in all. This is the True Second Coming …the First being the Cosmic Christ coming as one supreme Presence …the Second being the Cosmic Christ coming through all individuals, making each one Supreme in the eyes of God (His / Her only begotten Sun!).
We are aware from our own experience that the majority of Humanity desires basic goodness for themselves and all other life. Correct living, as exemplified in the Code of Conduct of a Disciple of Holy Spirit or the Buddha’s Eight–fold Path[5], is more common than seems obvious. But there remains a force of illusion whose purpose is to conceal this and sustain the illusion of fear-based reality before the masses. It is our purpose to transmute this by the Power of Sacred Fire …though decrees, affirmations, visualizations, song and correct living (thinking, feeling and acting). The Ascended use of our creative faculties is our gift and service to life at this time. There is a concept that we will not have access to our Ascended Faculties until our Ascension (as if we are passively given the Ascension at some point). But the opposite is true, that by using our creative faculties in an Ascended fashion, we then assume our Ascended State, especially as our service to life is coming to its climax!
THE RESTORATION OF THE CONDITIONS OF CONSCIOUSNESS
We were born to be Ascended Masters …both “in the beginning”, in the bosom of the Sun and in this embodiment, in this present Cosmic Moment. Let us contemplate this and challenge ourselves to believe it. Now is the hour of our ultimate Victory! The Stars and Planets are literally aligned (as in the Great Cosmic Inbreath) to help produce this wondrous Reality. But it begins and ends with our acceptance of it and our investment in it. We have all been trained on the inner to Master the physical realm through use of the Sacred Fire’s ability to transmute all other substance (physical, etheric, mental and emotional) into the Perfection of Itself …until we are wholly composed of an Etheric Light Substance. All Ascended Master Teachings (or other spiritual assistance) we have assimilated in this embodiment was to remind us of what we already knew ...of who we truly are!
AFFIRMATION
I AM Ascended and Free. I AM One Flame …One with the Flame of Ascended Humanity, the Flame of Shamballa, the Flame of the Great Light Brotherhood, the Flame of the Permanent Atom of the Earth, the Flame in the Center of the Sun …the Flame of Life everywhere present! I AM one with each Ascended and Free Being, as I AM one with the Angels and Elementals, the Elohim and Cosmic Beings that guide, guard and protect our collective service on Earth. I AM the Holy Grail for the collective Energies and Light Rays of this entire endeavor …for I AM Ascended and Free, abiding on Earth!
And as one Heartbeat, one Breath, one Energy, Vibration and Consciousness,
through one magnificent Thoughtform of Ascended and Free,
I affirm to all life and to Father/Mother God;
I remember who I AM.
I AM Ascended and Free.
I AM an ambassador from the Realms of Light.
I AM the Light of the world,
and I bless this planet with Love!
I AM the Resurrection and the Life
of the One Cup, the Holy Grail of the New Age.
I AM the Resurrection and the Life
of the one Breath, the Holy Spirit of a New Age.
I AM the Resurrection and the Life
of the one Body, one Energy and Vibration of a New Age.
I AM the Resurrection and the Life
of the one Consciousness of Spiritual Freedom for the New Age.
And, SO IT IS, BELOVED I AM!

THE ENERGY, VIBRATION AND CONSCIOUSNESS
OF THE BELOVED ELOHIM OF THE FOURTH RAY OF
PURITY, RESURRECTION AND ASCENSION…
BELOVED CLAIRE AND ASTREA…
Beloved Beings of Great Light, currently embodied as Ascended Humanity, I greet you as the Holy Grail of the New Age. Your Consciousness of Understanding is the Cup …the Holy Grail through which we pour Cosmic Light into Humanity’s daily life. Long have there been quests for the Holy Grail and yet here you are before me ...mostly invisible to others around you yet tangible and operative in the world of form on a global venue. I bring you my Momentum of Purity and Resurrection so that you may know more of the Truth of your collective service at this Cosmic Moment. I AM the essence of pure Light and thus I dwell within and all around you, as you fulfill the Truth of the Gathering of Ascended Humanity …Together, standing in the Light. And because I AM at the core of every electron as the Purity of Light, I may speak as one with you …one of you! And So It Is!
THE ATOMIC ACCELERATOR
Claiming Divine Identity within the Light brings with it the Divine Confidence of the Mastery of Life as known in the Realms of Light. Such Identity is ours to claim when we see ourselves as Children of the Sun and rightful heir to all the many Dimensions of Perfection Father/Mother God has created. Humanity has created the habit of seeing herself in terms of returning karmic patterns within a particular dimension. The resultant suffering and distress has been accepted as the norm. Arisen Humanity has come, like other Arisen Beings before us, to change that ...to purify Humanity’s view of herself by returning all karmic patterns into the Light of Love, through use of the Sacred Fire. We are God in Action …for the Flame within our Heart is a direct extension of the Sacred Fire of the Mighty I AM Presence and thus of the Central Flame within the Sun. It has the Power and Authority to accelerate all atomic substance into Light Substance …into its Eternal Freedom.
The electron[6] represents the energy, matter and intelligence within God’s Light, everything necessary for the completion of the Divine Plan on any dimension. The electron expresses as a particle and a wave and both simultaneously. Each photon of Light carries the Divine Plan within it …just as each molecule of DNA carries the full expression of every person. The Light at the core of every electron is directly responsive to the direction of the Sacred Heart Flame. This is a Cosmic Principle. Since the electron forms every atom of substance, the Three-fold Flame becomes the Divine Instrument of Atomic Acceleration into the Ascended State. This is equally true of any person, place, condition and thing. Free will remains primary. Yet as individual and mass karmic patterns are placed in the Sacred Fire and replaced by the Electronic Patterns of Spiritual Freedom, more and more individuals will naturally use their free will according to the Divine Plan. Further, this progress need not be measured in time, for the Sacred Fire operates outside of the restraints of time and space, being a Higher Dimensional Activity. So a global transformation can be victoriously accomplished “in a flash” of so called time …without moving or going anywhere! This is truly the way of the Elohim!
THE WAY OF THE ELOHIM
Let us see ourselves as the Elohim see themselves, as the full Cosmic Force of God in Action. In doing so, let us enter the living, breathing Forcefield of Beloved Astrea, for we have been invited to do so. Here we pause and center ourselves. Initially we see only the pure, blazing Light of her Majestic Presence …a Sun of White Light. As we grow accustomed to the Light, we gently perceive more details of her graceful form, including her Creative Faculties. Our own senses begin to tingle with the accelerating vibration, raised up into their own Christ Perfection in her Presence. As they are, we see and feel Mighty Light Rays directed forth from her Heart, Throat, Head and Hands. Being in her Presence, these Light Rays also leave a Celestial imprint on our taste, her Divine Keynote softly playing in our ears and her fragrance of Divine Creation lingering in our nostrils. Again, this experience accelerates our own Creative Faculties so that we might take our part as Co-creators of the New Earth in her New Heavens …literally abiding in “Heaven on Earth”!
Then, in her Sacred Presence, let us focus on the Light Rays projecting from our own Creative Faculties, beginning with the Heart. Light Rays projected from the Heart represent the Governing Authority of the Three-fold Flame and its ability to accelerate the atomic substance of any person, place, condition and thing in the Universe, certainly including daily life on Earth. Step inside the Flame of the Heart, immersed within it. Become that Sun of the Sun, blazing Light to all our creation, bringing the warmth and nurturance of Holy Spirit. Just like our Father/Mother God, we set the vibration and frequency of our created universe at the tone we desire it to experience …its own Ascended Consciousness and Eternal Spiritual Freedom. (pause at the Heart in meditation)
Focus now on the Blue Diamond of Light at the Throat. Abide within your attention there. Light Rays projected forth from the Throat represent the Voice of God in the creation of Life …as, “in the beginning was the word” (or Sacred Tone). Here lays the Divine Power of affirmation, chanting, decrees and songs. Just as Father/Mother God did in the beginning, we “shake the ethers” with the Sacred Tone of our Divine Being and Consciousness. All things then align in Divine Order and all things out of balance fall away into the Sacred Fire. (pause at the Throat in meditation)
Focus then on the Head area. See a Sun of soft, golden Divine Radiance. Light Rays projected forth from the Head represents the Power of the Divine Mind to place before any part of life the Highest Truth of itself and the Enlightenment to achieve it. From the Third Eye at the forehead, we see all Humanity receiving their “anointing with Divine Consciousness”. We see each of them acknowledging this and committing themselves to expressing their Christ Nature along their Major Ray. (pause at the Head in meditation)
Let us focus on Light Rays form the Hands, for these are the instruments of Holy Spirit. The definition of Holy Spirit is “Love made manifest”. Our hands are both practical in nature and Cosmic Instruments of Light Projection. Our hands may apply Light Rays to a specific area on a person or thing, or move and direct Light Rays around the world. Our hands represent the Power of Holy Spirit in service to assist any part of life into its Ascended State …as in “the laying on of hands”, physically or symbolically. For the hand is an extension of the heart. And the Heart divinely governs all life in its universe. (pause at the Hands in meditation)
In practicing the projection of Light Rays from the Heart, Throat, Head and Hands, we gradually become an Elohimic Focus of Creation on Earth …just as there are Temples of the Elohim in the Realms of Light around Earth and the Corona around the Sun. We have Divine Right to co-create the Earth we desire …to see the electron at its highest level of Divine Expression. Through the eyes of the Elohim, Ascended Humanity is seen as blazing Suns in the full Glory of our Cosmic Light. For every electron that composes us is a blazing Sun of Light at its core. Therefore we each affirm, within our Cloak of Invisibility;
I AM standing in the Pure Light of my
own Divine Electrons …a Sun of the Sun!
…Electrons created in the Sun and loaned to me
in order to serve in the physical realm
…Electrons which I now accept
as I knew them in the Sun Temples
…pure, dazzling, brilliant blazing Light.
This Light is my gift to Earth …and
I AM now projecting this Light to all life!
And SO IT IS, BELOVED I AM!
Let us complete this Visualization of Resurrection and Eternal Spring by remembering the masculine / feminine balance involved. Whenever there is the projection of Light Rays, there is the creation of a Forcefield. There then must be an equal holding of the Immaculate Concept of that Forcefield created, so that it is not quickly dissipated in a world buffeted by the forces of imbalance. Here we model our Beloved Father / Mother God in our own service. Helios is the main force behind the centrifugal thrust of projection and expansion of Creation. Vesta is the main source of centripetal Love holding that created Forcefield safely in her heart, until its full Perfection is the only reality manifesting. Thus we become Elohimic Foci and a working model of our Father/Mother God on Earth. And this is everything we came to Earth to do! Therefore, we rejoice, content and happy in our service to the Light.
And SO IT IS, BELOVED I AM!

[1] A Cosmic Momentum in the use of the Resurrection Flame is preserved for Humanity in the atmosphere of Earth within the Resurrection Temple. It is located in the Etheric Realms over the Middle East, co-sponsored by Beloved Jesus and Holy Mother Mary. In the cyclical outpouring of Ascended Master Retreats, it is generally open to Humanity during the Month of March. Often its peak of Radiation is at the full moon, maintaining this into the Spring Solstice and beyond.
[2] See insert in this Journal.
[3] Beloved Jesus is such an example and was ready for his Ascension before the opportunity came available of becoming an Avatar for an Age, that is, chief sponsor for the Christian Era. It is said that such individuals wear upon their forehead an identification of such renown, in the form of an open Lotus. This identification is unique and through all the Heavens, even the most Supreme Beings bow in reverence of such sacrifice. It has been referred to as the Sainted Order of the Lotus Flame.
[4] In the original Divine Plan, before the coming of the laggards, the first Root Races had a series of embodiments within each two thousand year Cycle of the Seven Rays. By the end of a 14 thousand year Major Cycle, each was ready for the Ascension …having Mastered energy, vibration and consciousness within the physical realm along each of the Seven Rays. There was no need for “service to Earth” as we tend to think of it, as everyone was evolving according to the Divine Plan. There were of course Ascended Gurus and Mentors for assistance. The purpose of embodiment (and a service of a type to Universal I AM) was to expand Ascended Mastery into a denser realm than ever before, thus expanding the borders of Father/Mother God’s Kingdom of Perfection.
[5] The Noble Eightfold Path is a guideline of ethical and mental development, similar in purpose to the Ten Commandments of the Bible and the Akaba, the pledge of the followers of Islam and the Prophet Muhammad. The Eightfold Path is: Right View, Right Intention, Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness and Right Concentration.
[6] As a matter of course, “electron” might equally refer to all subatomic particles or simply to electrons.
