Ascended Master creation myths place the origination of the human
soul from the heart of the Sun God-Goddess who constructs at the end of a
Ray the Three-Fold (Unfed) Flame. This generates a Divine Presence, or a
God-Flame; a Co-creator with the Source, the Cosmic I AM Presence.
According to esoteric historians, some God-Flames choose to remain in
the eternal embrace of the loving aura of the parental sun; those who
choose to progress further project their spiritual essence into two
Rays—Twin Rays. The Twin Rays develop a new light substance: an
electrical light field which separates the Rays into two distinct
individuals. The I AM—the individualized presence of God—dwells within
the newly formed soul, and the electrical field of light is known as the
I AM Presence.
The Presence of the I AM on earth forms the nexus of
evolution in the Creative, or Human Hierarchy. The Electronic Body of
light is formed of both the Causal and Astral Bodies. The Causal Body is
known primarily as a mental plane, and many Ascended Masters reside in
the higher levels of the Causal Plane during their service to humanity
and earth. In Theosophical texts, the Causal body is known as the
Karanopadhi, and its lower manifestation is associated with the causes
bringing about re-embodiment on the Earth Plane; however, the Causal
Plane is also associated with the Buddhi (Sanskrit for intellect) and
the enlightenment of pure consciousness through discrimination between
material and spiritual reality. It is also the location of both the
abstract and rational mind. The Astral Body or Astral Plane has various
levels of evolution and is the heavenly abode where the soul resides
after the disintegration of the physical body. Within the Astral Plane
lie our individual desires and salvation from their incessant
demands—the Christ. This plane of emotional energy becomes the
proverbial heaven or hell.
The Ascended Master who is free from
incarnating on earth directs the Unfed Flame within the heart and builds
a new etheric body focused through the immortal spiritual fire and
light. Hence, the unascended are directed by the emotional desires of
the Astral Body, symbolized by the earthly element of water. The
Ascended Master has dissipated encumbering desires into a living flame;
human desire is composed of etheric wandering. The human body is flesh;
the Ascended Master is a body of spiritual fire— light. The luminous
body of spiritual fire is developed through the use of the Unfed Flame
in the physical plane.
Elohim focus their etheric Flame of
Consciousness into the pineal gland of the human. This creates the
Intellectual Consciousness. An outgrowth of the individual consciousness
as thought, feeling, and action is the development of Mass
Consciousness. Mass Consciousness is often measured by two methods:
Collective Consciousness, the total consciousness of all forms of life
currently present on earth; and the Group Mind. Societal and cultural
beliefs are the creators of the Group Mind’s collection of thoughts,
feelings, and actions.
