Vortex

The existence of Vortices is the foundation of the I AM America Prophecies—that’s why the understanding of this concept is paramount to grasping the teaching of the Ascended Masters. The Vortex is a polarized motion body, meaning it creates its own electromagnetic field. It’s characterized by a concentration of energy and, in some cases, psychic gravity. Rock formations act as energizing points for the earth’s electromagnetic energies.
Vortices often form at the intersection lei lines (the earth’s energy meridians), also known as “power spots.” Think of it as the geographic equivalent of the longitudinal and the latitudinal coordinates that circle the globe. The convergence of meridian lines can warp time and energy, and align molecular structure with phenomenal accuracy. Vortices and lei lines also embrace animate characteristics: the yin and yang; female and male.
Although all Vortices embody electromagnetic properties, they fall into two general categories: electric and magnetic. Electrical Vortices, the yin or the feminine, tend to open the central nervous system and stimulate neural passages. Magnetic Vortices, however, identify with spiritual or ethereal energies, and the yang or the masculine essence. These Vortices encourage deep meditation and physical rejuvenation. A person’s psychic awareness—along with his or her telepathy and the frequency of lucid dreaming—may intensify in these areas.
Many Vortices are highly sacred places where dimensions interplay like cracks between worlds. For instance, the geomancy—or divination of earth material—of the Sedona Vortices is well documented. These formations serve as hallowed highways, ferrying spiritual energies to the material realm. Here, the healing of physical, emotional, and spiritual maladies is optimal.

Energy-for-Energy

To understand this spiritual maxim, one must remember Isaac Newton’s Third Law of Motion: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. However, while energies may be equal, their forms often vary. The Ascended Masters often use this phrase to remind chelas to properly compensate others to avoid Karmic retribution; and repayment may take many different forms.

Spiritual Hierarchy: Part Four

The Cosmic I AM Presence of the Solar Hierarchy projects into the Creative Hierarchy through the human heart, and radiates into the Unfed Flame; this is surrounded by the Eight-Sided Cell of Perfection. Human growth evolves through basic psychological and physical needs through ongoing spiritual interaction with the Guardian Angel, Spirit Guides, and Spirit Teachers. According to Theosophical thought, a spirit is incorporeal intelligence and can exist in almost limitless ranges of hierarchical classes: highest, intermediate, and lower. Naturally, these interactions evolve the Lower Self, the animal nature within man, and awaken the Higher Self, as a direct and personal experience of our true nature. Interaction with the Higher Self is also known as the Holy Spirit, a component of the I AM Presence. [Editor’s Note: Some esoteric scholars claim that animals are evolved elemental beings of the Third Kingdom.]
The Awakened Human evolves to embrace the higher qualities of the Astral Body through the Christ-self (friendship, love, compassion), and the advanced characteristics of the Causal Body through the Solar Angel (leadership, confidence, respect, achievement). The I AM Presence instigates the human need for morality, ethics, Co-creation, and problem solving. Psychologist Abraham Maslow identifies a similar pattern of human development through his theory of the hierarchy of needs, which identifies stages of human growth. As self-actualization is developed and evolved, the human needs change with the requirement for knowledge, beauty, and creativity. According to Maslow, these are the impulses of self-actualization, the birth of the HU-man. Maslow’s metaneeds, the human ideals which drive consciousness toward self-realization, mirror the Ascended Master’s Twelve Jurisdictions. The Twelve Jurisdictions are spiritual virtues, and when developed and applied, compel the growth of the HU-man and humanity’s entrance into the Ascension process. The table below illustrates parallels between the two systems:
Jurisdiction and the Metaneed or Highest Need
Harmony - Unity
Abundance - Richness, Complexity
Clarity - Truth
Love - Goodness, Uniqueness, Individuality
Service - Meaningfulness, Value
Illumination - Truth and Goodness, Ease
Cooperation - Perfection, Balance and Harmony
Charity - Fairness
Desire - Aliveness and Spontaneity
Faith - Autonomy, Self-Sufficiency
Stillness - Simplicity, Essence, Beauty, Rightness of Form
Creation - Completion
Creativity - Individuality (as individuus: the undivided), Unity

The New Children: The Seventh Manu

Manu refers to a root race or a group of souls inhabiting a vast time period (era or epoch) on earth. The concept of Manu is found among Native American tribes, too. The Hopis describe this term as worlds e.g. fourth world, fifth world. Manu is also a mythical, cosmic being who oversees the souls during their incarnation processes throughout the duration of that specific time period. Some consider Manu a type of spiritual office, not unlike a “World Teacher.” For example, one evolved-cosmic being will serve as Manu for one world cycle, and when it ends, it moves on in the evolutionary process. A different entity serves as Manu for the next group. Each group of souls has a different energy and purpose. Seventh Manu children will possess advanced capabilities—astute intellect, vast spiritual knowledge, and keen psychic abilities. Forerunners of the Seventh Manu will pave the way for this metaphysically venerated population. Carrying less Karmic burden than those of the past, these forbearers of ever-increasing enlightenment promote a sense of higher consciousness. As Dharma flourishes, the Seventh Manu, sponsored by the Beloved Mother Mary, proliferates.

Violet Plume

According to the Master Teachers, in ancient times of greater light on earth, the masses frequently used the Violet Flame to achieve spiritual growth. As a result, it increased to such strength and power it became a visible, ubiquitous violet-purple light in the human aura—the atmosphere was suffused with it. Meanwhile, the Rays of our sun and the luminous moon continuously reflected its vibrant lavender tone day and night. As humanity entered Kali-Yuga, the final stage of the dark age, and consciousness denigrated on the earth, the Violet Plume retreated to the subtle tones often observed at sunrise and sunset. Darker shades and vibrations of the Violet Plume can also be detected during certain phases of the full moon.

Star Seed

The Ascended Masters assign two associated definitions to this term. The first defines the Star Seed as a family or soul group whose members have evolved to Fifth-Dimensional awareness. Star Seeds can also contain members who have not yet evolved to this level and are still incarnating on earth. The second definition of Star Seed is somewhat literal and refers to populating groups, or soul groups, originating from other solar systems and galaxies. Some Star Seeds intentionally leave their homeland planets to inhabit earth and adapt their DNA through reproduction with humans. Other Star Seed souls and soul families enter the earthly evolutionary Wheel of Karma, and spiritually incarnate in human form. Occult historians claim that earth is now riddled with Star Seeds through genetics and spiritual connection.

Mantra

Certain sounds, syllables, and sets of words are deemed sacred and often carry the power to transmute Karma, purify the spirit, and transform an individual. These are known as a mantras. The mantra is a foundation of Vedic tradition and often treated as a devotional upaye—a remedial measure of difficult obstacles. Mantras, however, are not limited to Hinduism. Buddhists, Sikhs, and Jains also utilize mantras. The Ascended Masters occasionally provide mantras to chelas to improve resonation with certain Golden Cities.
My teacher of Vedic tradition gave this explanation regarding the anatomy of the mantra:
MAM + TRA = MANTRA
Chants + Protects = MANTRA
He was particularly avid about adding the sound HREEM before chanting the mantra to transmute difficult Karmas. His explanation:
H = Sins
REEM = Removes
HREEM = Removal of Sins

Spiritual Hierarchy: Part One

The term Spiritual Hierarchy often refers to the Great White Brotherhood and Sisterhood, however, this term also connotes the spiritual-social structure that exists within the organization, their members, and their various states of evolution. This includes the different offices and activities that serve the Cosmic, Solar, and Planetary Hierarchies. Esoteric historians claim the Spiritual Hierarchy embodies religious principles from Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Neo-Theosophy, and Ascended Master Teachings.
However, to correctly understand the provenance of the Spiritual Hierarchy, it is essential to embrace its unique and concurrent Creation Story. The Ascended Masters’ chronicle of the mythological formation of our galaxy, our Solar System, and the earth offers significant insight and knowledge regarding the Spiritual Hierarchy.
According to the Ascended Master legend, the Silent Watcher embraces the Great Central Sun—the Galactic Center. This Cosmic Being is also known as the Galactic Architect who designed the galaxy along with its many Solar Systems. The Galactic Silent Watcher works in tandem with various Solar Silent Watchers who assist in the design of the individual Solar Systems within the galaxy. Scientists theorize that our sun is one of 200 billion stars in the Milky Way, and so far, astronomers have discovered approximately seventy Solar Systems in our galaxy. The Solar Systems of our galaxy are overseen by the Galactic Silent Watcher and the Galactic Council—comparable to a Galactic United Nations—which comprises many Ascended Cosmic Beings from a variety of solar and star systems, including: the Sirius System, the Pleiades Cluster, the Arcturus System, the Constellation of Centaurus, the Constellation of Pegasus, the Constellation of Hercules, the Constellation of Volans, the Constellation of Aquila, the Orion System, and representatives from the neighboring DAL or DAHL Universe. At the time of this writing, scientific research discovered that the earth may in fact originate from another galaxy: the Sagittarius Dwarf Universe. Researchers surveying the sky with infrared light at the University of Massachusetts mapped a New Star Map, through the use of a supercomputer to sort out a half-billion stars. Through the study of star debris and by pinpointing the exact location of our Solar System—at the crossroads where two galaxies join—they discovered that the Milky Way Galaxy is absorbing smaller galaxies. The Sagittarius Dwarf Universe was discovered by a British team of astronomers in 1994, and in 2003 the Massachusetts team altered their angle of telescopic view to find the earth in perfect alignment with the smaller galaxy, or what was left of it. Researcher Martin Weinberg believes this process is two-billion years in the making: “After slow, continuous gnawing by the Milky Way, Sagittarius has been whittled down to the point that it cannot hold itself together much longer … we are seeing Sagittarius at the very end of its life as an intact system.”
Metaphysicians theorize the discovery of the new galaxy may be the basis for the ending of the Mayan Calendar, because the Pleiades Star Cluster—which the calendar is based upon—is no longer a reliable point for celestial navigation as the earth and its Solar System veer into a new direction.

The Step-down Transformer

The processes instigated through the Cellular Awakening rapidly advance human light bodies. Synchronized with an Ascended Master’s will, the awakened cells of light and love evolve the skills of a Step-Down Transformer to efficiently transmit and distribute currents of Ascended Master energy—referred to as an Ascended Master Current (A.M. Current). This metaphysical form of intentional inductive coupling creates an ethereal power grid that can be used for all types of healing.
A.M. Currents release beneficially charged and sometimes spine-tingling rushes of energy throughout the human system. This energy current is often accompanied by an audible high-pitched ring and a visible translucent glow of white or Gold light. Stepdown Transformers report sensations of time slowing down and a body-warming flush as hands, feet, and chakras conduct the high frequency energy.
According to the Master Teachers tuning your body and your consciousness as a Stepdown Transformer resembles a high quality quartz crystal, emitting effulgent Rays of Light and energy from many directions.
Surprisingly, an A.M. Current is calming and soothing. Since the Vibration of fear is effectively extinguished in its wake, the curative and peaceful frequency influences all who come within contact. Transfers of Step-down energies create a remnant force field that is later detectable, and the frequency can change significantly in strength or weakness dependent on the purpose for the release of the AM Current.
Master Teachers often train students to purposely hold and direct Step-down energies of healing love and light on behalf of earth and humanity. Primarily, Step-down Transformers work solely in private to perfect their craft and skill. When accomplished Step-down Transformers gather in groups the spiritual voltage significantly intensifies.
These larger batteries of energy are often circuited into the collective consciousness to bring about positive political change, societal healing, and restorative balance to Mother Earth.

Avatar

Hindu classifications of the stages of human spiritual advancement are well documented in the Upanishads. They are: Siddha, a perfected being; Jivanmukta, freed while living; Paramukta, supremely free with full power over death. A Paramukta or Ascended Being purposely creates a physical body and descends to earth to either assist humanity or to spiritually bless or balance a disordered world. This Divine Manifestation is known as an Avatar. The perfected, death-free body of an Avatar does not cast a shadow or leave footprints. Such Masters never appear in the gross public, and have the ability to become invisible. It is claimed Saint Germain will take the form of a beggar or an old woman dressed in a wisp of purple or violet clothing. Sananda states he is not limited by form of any kind, and will assume any form or appearance necessary for the task at hand.
According to the teachings of the Ascended Masters, twelve Spiritual Avatars are physically present on earth at any given time. This ensures specific levels of vibration, radiance, and spiritual energy to foster humanity’s growth and evolutionary requirements. Concurrently, another group of twelve Avatar Masters reside at the Fourth Dimension, and yet another series of twelve in the Fifth Dimension. Saint Germain explains that there are minor levels of consciousness between the Third and Fourth Dimensions; and minor levels between the Fourth and Fifth Dimension. Altogether, including the numerous minor levels, a total of 144 Avatars assist humanity’s evolutionary process on earth. A total of 108 Avatars exist on the minor, sub-planes between the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Dimensions. The number 108 is considered sacred in Vedic tradition.
Saint Germain claims that many of the Master Teachers are focusing their energies and teachings toward the awakening of two spiritual aspects of humanity. Their first goal is to awaken the innate Divinity and perfection of the HU-man through the activation of the Eight-Sided Cell of Perfection within the Chamber of the Heart. Secondly, use of the Seventh Chakra awakens the pineal gland (the Third-Eye) and opens the flow of the inner dialogue between the student and the I AM Presence. Saint Germain prophesies that the personal awakening of the Seventh Chakra promotes the collective development and opening of humanity’s heart. This enables mankind to enter a new dimension of spiritual awareness and understanding.

The Definition of a Ray

A Ray, simply stated, divides its efforts into two measurable and discernable powers: light and sound. Alice Bailey, author of many spiritual and esoteric works, wrote in A Treatise on the Seven Rays, “A Ray is but a name for a particular force or type of energy, with the emphasis upon the quality which that force exhibits, and not upon the form aspect which it creates. This is a true definition of a Ray.” Bailey’s work underscores the abstract elements of a Ray but omits its tangible importance. The presence of a Ray also creates many physical attributes, which are significant in Ascended Master teachings.
Light and sound are the building blocks of our universe; therefore, the Rays permeate everything in our world of thought, feeling, and action. A developed psychic may perceive the twin matrix powers of light and sound as specific colors and sound frequencies in the energy fields of an individual—the aura. Nature mimics a similar pattern: a plant blooms a variety of colorful flowers, a common mineral becomes a precious gem, a songbird’s melody is distinct and characteristic to its species. Each color and sound contains an undeniable unique vibration.
Light and sound evoke attributes and properties that carry specific cultural meaning as well. In the Western world, black is often associated with darkness and evil; it is the hue of mourning and death. Yet in some Native American traditions, black represents the Great Mystery and is linked to the cardinal direction north on the medicine wheel. Though white is traditional attire for a Western wedding, white is often worn at funerals in Eastern cultures. Sound is no exception to cultural identity. Western music reflects the spectral experience of human emotion; Eastern music mimics the sounds of nature and its tranquil effect on human consciousness.
A person’s culture will influence his or her experience of the Rays, creating a diverse spiritual interpretation. This cultural filter can cause misunderstandings, discrepancies, and confusion. That’s why the esoteric translation of the Rays is often lost to the novice.

The Ascended Master

An Ascended Master is a highly developed spiritual being who has ascended the human physical manifestation beyond the Third Dimension. At one time the members of this cosmically elite fellowship, known as the Great White Lodge or Brotherhood, were men and women tied to a corporeal existence like any other human on earth.
But a higher destiny set these souls apart from ordinary individuals. Over thousands of years, these souls encountered innumerable diverse lifetimes and an arduous yet prolific process of incarnation after incarnation. This boundless experience of trials, tragedy, knowledge, and wisdom culminated in an uncanny spiritual maturity beyond that of a normal human being. They came to understand and acknowledge in their hearts, an undeniable, great truth—divinity. The recognition of this inherent divinity drives human consciousness beyond Third Dimensional perception; it instigates the Mastery of thought, feeling, action, and experience.
A command of the Third Dimension breaks the elusive bond to the Wheel of Karma, freeing the Spiritual Master from the need to reincarnate in an earthbound physical body. Now the individual has attained the role of Ascended Master who dedicates his or her immortal existence to the universal spiritual enrichment of humanity. Many members of this fellowship, though not physically tied to earth, remain close to terra firma and its people. Master Teachers seek others, who, although embody a physical attachment to earth, embrace an innate desire to evolve beyond the Third Dimension.
The Great White Brotherhood or Lodge earns its name from an all-encompassing philosophy of humanity. White refers to white light, which embraces all colors, races, creeds, and genders. The Brotherhood’s primary goal focuses on the preservation of the teachings and the spirit of the ancient religions and philosophies of the world. They pledge to protect mankind from growth-inhibiting assaults on individual and group freedoms, self-knowledge, and personal choice. Of paramount importance is their Mission to reawaken the dormant ethical and spiritual spark that is fast disappearing among the masses. - from Points of Perception

What Is an Ascended Master?

Once an ordinary human, an Ascended Master has undergone a spiritual transformation over many lifetimes. He or she has Mastered the lower planes—mental, emotional, and physical—to unite with his or her God-Self or I AM Presence. An Ascended Master is freed from the wheel of Karma. He or she moves forward in spiritual evolution beyond this planet; however, an Ascended Master remains attentive to the spiritual wellbeing of humanity, inspiring and serving the Earth’s spiritual growth and evolution.
