As Roger Bacon he directed and inspired devotees of the sacred science, then in his embodiment as Saint Germain, the Wonderman of Europe, he outpictured the quintessence of the alchemists’ dream for all to see.
The Ascended Master Saint Germain teaches that the highest alchemy is the transformation of one’s human consciousness into the divinity of the Higher Self. He stands ready to assist all souls in this endeavor. He has also said he would release the technology of the Aquarian age when the nations shall have put behind them the destructive uses of science and religion to accept the challenge which lies at the heart of both, which is for man to enter his heart and the nucleus of the atom and to harness from both the unlimited spiritual and physical resources to establish the golden age.
His etheric retreats are located over Transylvania in Romania and Table Mountain in Wyoming.
He wrote in cipher, "I trusteth all to the future and a land that is very far towards the sunset gate....I keep the future ever in my plan, looking for my reward, not to my times and countrymen, but to a people very far off, and an age not like our own, but a second golden age of learning."
Having discovered the continent and encouraged its colonization, he must also insure a proper foundation for the new nation. Saint Germain stood by George Washington throughout the Revolution and during the winter at Valley Forge. His past efforts in initiating the society of Freemasons had enfired many of the key figures of the Revolution. General Washington, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Hancock, Benjamin Franklin and as many as fifty-three out of the fifty-six signers of the Declaration of Independence were all members of the Masonic order, whose principles had guided them in founding the new nation. Further, Saint Germain called for the signing of the Declaration of Independence, directed the writing of the Constitution and anointed Washington first President of the United States.
America was secured as the land of opportunity and Saint Germain devoted himself to the raising of the consciousness of her people.
In the twentieth century, the Master went before the Lords of Karma to plead the cause of freedom for and on behalf of the original 576 he has sponsored, expanding that circle to include the Lightbearers of all centuries--the original Keepers of the Flame who came with Sanat Kumara as well as the children of God who had been evolving unto the spiritual gifts and graces through earth's numerous ages.
However, as the decades have passed, the rate of increase in the return of mankind's karma has precipitated what is known as the Dark Cycle--the era of Chaos and old Night whose signs are foretold in Revelation, even as the hoof beats of the Four Horsemen can be heard throughout the land.
Let us listen to the prophet Samuel--dubbed Uncle Sam by his people--who has indeed begun to sound his prophecy to the chosen. He has warned that the I AM Race--those who have the seed of the name I AM THAT I AM within their hearts--"have not hearkened unto the LORD, nor have they fulfilled the wholeness of the Law." Therefore, the Master says:
- Some among this people must be and become direct initiates of Sanat Kumara, for always there has been the requirement of the ransom. Let those who are the inner circle of the devotees, those who are the first fruits who come and stand as the ensign of the people, raise up the banner of Christ as the one whom they serve, the one who by his very Communion promise at the Last Supper designated each and every son and daughter of God for the internalization of the Word...
- Unfortunately, and this word is mild, but it is unfortunate indeed that the laws of Christ and his Teachings, so meticulously brought forth to the close initiates, are not fully known today, having been taken even from the holy people. Therefore, to obey Christ becomes the challenge of the hour--to find the Person of that Christ, to find the Way and the Teachings.
- You have received the lost Word and the lost Teachings of Jesus Christ through our effort....As a result of this, you have been strengthened and protected in that Word and Teaching. And some from among you have taken their leave at the conclusion of their embodiment and gone on in the full resurrection with Jesus Christ....Thus, the proof of the Teaching and the Path is that it leads one successively to that higher and higher consciousness where unto the individual is assumed into the very heart of the I AM Presence [becoming indeed the pure Person of that Christ].
Today, as we see the cycles of earth's returning karma reach a mounting crescendo wherein even the four sacred freedoms are threatened, the Brotherhood has set aside a place in America's Rocky Mountains for the pursuit of the Lost Teachings of Christ to their fullest expression.
Saint Germain spoke of it in 1983 when he said that we have come "to a similar moment to that of that final hour of the golden age when I presided where the Sahara now is. My family is much larger than it was then, for I include every one of you who love me as my very own family.... In that hour, our family was taken to the golden etheric city of light. In this hour, we have summoned you to a higher place in the mountains of the north."
Our beloved Saint Germain and his twin flame, the Ascended Lady Master Portia.

Ascended Master Lady Vesta is a feminine force like no other. She is a great being who has not been ‘close to’ the consciousness of mankind for many centuries, but the time has come for this beautiful being and her energy to become part of us again.
Lady Vesta holds the Light or Flame of the Sacred Fire alive within her being. Through this divine act she enables us to access the Sacred Fire in a divine sense, that is, we are able to connect with this greater divine Light or Flame, and she also enables us to access our own individual core fire that lives within us, waiting to be ignited.
Lady Vesta is the divine consort of Ascended Master Lord Helios. Lady Vesta has not been close to our consciousness here on Earth for a long time, because we have not been ready. But her essence, and her energy is coming into general awareness more and more as we move into the new consciousness, the new awareness. This makes sense if we consider the future and the current growing need for liberation and equality of both sexes.

Lord Chiron is a powerful spiritual being who has walked the path before us, and is dedicated now to showing us the way. His way is a questing journey: always, a quest. His energy and his teaching are healing because they lift you to a higher level of awareness, an expanded consciousness, another level of bliss.
When we hear the word ‘Chiron’ we usually think of the Wounded Healer archetype, but this is a very limited interpretation of the Ascended Master Lord Chiron. He is much more than that, because Lord Chiron teaches people to be heroes; and, as we know, there are many types of hero… Lord Chiron teaches and directs humanity in MASTERY. Eventually, this teaching can lead a soul to becoming an ascended master.
Archangel Michael calls us to Truth, Integrity and Power. He demands that we develop and rely upon our inner knowing and the spiritual worlds. To develop this within us, he will strip away all that which belongs to the old, and anything that is ‘no longer true' for us. Michael's energy is very powerful and unmistakenly fiery! He uses his sword to cut and bless. Archangel Michael and his blue lightning angels bring instant protection. Michael calls us to speak our truth and stand in our power as an IAMness. Archangel Michael is very close in our consciousness at this time heralding the new age – an age of resurrection, of joy.
Lord Buddha's gentle aura of compassion, wisdom and strength, embraces the planet and everyone on it. He sustains the divine spark of consciousness for the evolution of humanity.

Djwal Khul is a Teacher who has vast knowledge of the mysteries. Also known as "The Tibetan" and DK, he trains souls to embrace the Christ Consciousness and prepares them for service to humanity. Djwal Khul can remove fear-based processes from your soul memory. He is Messenger of the Masters. DK is recently ascended, and because of this he relates strongly to how it is to be incarnated in this consciousness, in the physical world, at this time.
This great being ‘steps down’ or transduces the energy and consciousness from the Godhead to the other Masters and on to us humans. If it were not for Helios we could not receive this energy directly from the Godhead, for we would disintegrate in such a force. Helios is like the sun that always shines – he exudes brightness, radiance, joy and happiness, and a great light. He is all power, a power that inspires, transforms and creates.
Guardian of the Threshold of the Passing, Master Julian works with Lord Sananda (Master Jesus) on the Karmic Board but he is not a board member.

He will, through his great love, hold the portal open and help the soul move into the realm of love with greater ease. Julian can also be called upon to strengthen, uphold and ease the grief of the family and loved ones who are mourning.
Lady Averill has a very new energy, different to what we are used to here on earth! Lady Averill comes from the Future, and beckons us forward so that we may be prepared for the future. She teaches us the principle of Mutual Attraction - there is no fear, only brilliance! Lady Averill brings the new, is an initiator; she gives you the impetus to become the new; she heralds and begins, but does not stay for the long haul.

Lady Nada is the twin flame of Lord Sananda. as such, she holds the energy of Divine Love for us. Lady Nada's beautiful feminine energies are needed throughout our planet in order to balance the masculine energies. (Unless the world comes into more male/female balance we will not achieve the 'Golden Age' which is a heavenly consciousness). Loving yourself unconditionally will allow Lady Nada's energy to flow through your whole being.
Lady Portia is the archetype of the 21st century woman - free, whole and in her power. Connecting with Lady Portia's energy will help bring you into balance - bringing harmony, inner equilibrium and stability to all levels of your being.

It is a very creative, dynamic energy, which again is preparing us for the future, and leading us into the unknown future form - yet, with a great sense of safety.
Lord Kuthumi energy is warm, glowing and comforting. He is very important in 'grounding' us and teaching us to accept and love our life on earth.

He particularly assists us in manifesting our dreams and wishes here on earth in 3D reality. Lord Kuthumi also connects us with nature, earth energies, and the elemental spirits.
This Master is, in a sense, a Power of Universe; a force. Lord Oke teaches the correct use of power, particularly for those souls who are ready for ascension. He is an instructor in using 'the Force' - the greatest force in the Universe being Love. He is mysterious, deep, and transcendent.
Lord Sananda, or Master Jesus Christ, embodies unconditional and all-encompassing love and forgiveness. He inspires us to connect to and express our own unique IAM Presence. He teaches us to love and through this to become 'a Christed being'. He is Head of the Karmic Board.
Orkan is in final training for ascension. He is under the protection and stewardship of Sanat Kumara and is one of many who are working with us to assist with our personal evolution. Orkan's name means "Yes to the Light" - so he encourages us to say 'Yes to the Divine Light' and to sustain our commitment to it. Orkan is a defender of the Truth, a fighter for the righteous, and has been incarnated many times as a 'hero'. Should you need the 'hero energy' call on Orkan to help you have courage to embrace the hero that you are. Orkan's world plan (which is needed for ascension - and it needs to work!) is to transform humanity through the world of popular entertainment.
Lady Pallas Athena develops within you the Warrior Goddess, who has sharp insight. Ask for her help in defending your own truth with self-confidence and wisdom. The female spiritual warrior defends the truth, and will give you the desire to know the truth, which magnetizes the etheric worlds until the Veil of Silence is parted, and the truth is revealed, or known. Then she assists you to 'step down' the truth so that others may receive the understanding. The responsibility of the desire to know the truth carries with it the responsibility of becoming the Word of God.

White Matthew is the most recently ascended master (May 2003), and as such brings to our consciousness the spirit of lightheartedness, joy, romance, softness, and 'making love' rather than 'having sex'. Matthew embodies the Promise of God, the Promise coming into manifestation for all of the human race.
Ashtar works very closely with Archangel Michael, in protecting the evolution of humanity through harmonizing the negative and evil influences that could overwhelm us. Ashtar is in command of a particular area of the cosmos which he and his many spiritual helpers ‘patrol'; this area or zone includes planet earth. Because of this, he is often referred to as “Commander Ashtar”.
Ashtar works through the Merkabah , the spiritual vehicle of Light that comes direct from the Godhead. At the moment Ashtar is Controller of the Merkabah, for our part of the Universe. He moves between heavens, dimensions, and realities with his powerful mind guiding and controlling the energies of the Merkabah so that we humans can participate in the evolutionary process of our zone.
As Lord of the First Ray (of God Consciousness), El Morya embodies the Will of God to Action. When El Morya works with you, and your own soul forces, he starts to create a Diamond Matrix within your heart chakra. All Ascended Masters and angels have this Diamond Matrix within their spiritual heart (so to speak). It is constantly being built upon, through the courage, aspirations, and willingness of the soul to allow the Will of God to manifest within it and through it, by surrendering to and trusting in the Higher guidance. Ultimately, it is the surrender of your personal will to the Higher or Divine Will, while yet maintaining your own individuality, that produces what we call ‘miracles'!
The Diamond Matrix, or Diamond Heart, is an energy centre within you that radiates streamers of pure light, and pure love. Not only does this Diamond Heart fill and nourish your own energy field, and your total being, but it also warms, comforts and heals all others who come within its reach. In a sense, El Morya ‘holds' the energy of this brilliant diamond heart for us , until we are able to realise it fully within ourselves. It is the slow growth of these beautiful spiritual energies within a person that creates an Ascended Master.
El Morya will help you to strengthen your will, and to encourage you to surrender to a higher spiritual force when necessary. El Morya will give you greater clarity about your spiritual purpose, and will also lovingly support you to put your PURPOSE INTO ACTION.

In some versions of the doctrine, the ascended masters, as a collegiate body, are the "Great White Brotherhood," white referring to advanced spirituality rather than race - very much like "Gandalf the White" after his victory over the Balrog in The Lord of the Rings. In fact, most early reports of the masters described them as racially Tibetan or Hindi, not Anglo. Belief in the Brotherhood and the masters is an essential part of the syncretistic teachings of these several groups. Various important spiritual leaders such as Jesus, the Prophet Muhammad, the Virgin Mary, and Kuan Yin the compassionate bodhisattva, take their seats alongside magical or alchemical personalities like the Count of St. Germain, and other mystic celebrities like Kuthumi, one of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky's claimed spiritual guides - all of these leaders have put aside any differences they might have had in their Earthly careers, and unite instead to improve the spiritual well-being of the human race.
Reincarnation
Reincarnation is a notable feature of some groups' teachings about the ascended masters. For example, according to the Summit Lighthouse the ascended master Kuthumi was also reincarnate as a number of historically important people, including Pharaoh Thutmose III, the philosopher Pythagoras, Saint Francis of Assisi, Balthasar the Magus, and Shah Jahan. Several of the other ascended masters are said to have had equally distiguished careers in reincarnation.
Ascension Bloodlines
One of the most interesting beliefs about ascension is the notion of "ascension bloodlines". According to the Gnostic tradition, ascension is said to happen only after several dedicated lifetimes that directly support the ascension process. If an individual ascends leaving daughters, the daughters supposedly become able to reproduce at will rather than going through the process of sex. The ascension process is said to transmit forward along the genetic line for seven generations, giving the females the ability to give birth through immaculate conception to offspring who will ascend. The priest class in various cultures were said to guard these bloodlines in order to ensure that all descendants would ascend. This belief is based on the many accounts in mythology and spiritual history of individuals born of virgin mothers (Jesus, Mithra, etc.) who then accomplish extraordinary social changes, preceding their ascension.
Belief/disbelief throughout history
The topic of ascension and ascended masters is one that probably will continue to spark controversy and disbelief, and can be a difficult subject to comprehend even for those who have spent years studying esoteric doctrines. Having been playfully described as something like getting "beamed up", as in the television series Star Trek, the idea of ascension has not reached widespread acceptance. Some relegate the subject matter to the realm of New Age myth and fantasy, while others maintain the process of ascension is as natural as human evolution.
Historically, for the past two thousand years, the concept of ascension seemed so outrageous and confrontational, especially within traditional, western, orthodox religious belief systems, that many people dismissed the idea immediately or have a very strong adverse reaction to it. The idea that all humans could conceivably do what Christ supposedly did is seen by many religious persons as presumptuous, if not blasphemous.
In the 21st century, the notion of ascension seems to attract individuals more interested in eastern religions, spirituality, metaphysics, or those simply looking for a deeper meaning to their existing beliefs and experiences.
One difficulty in discussing the idea of an ascended master is that there is no universally-accepted, definitive, scientific text which describes what the conditions are to become such a person, or how to verify the conditions. Even in the 21st century, most public sources, even books directly dealing with the topic, tend to describe various ascended masters, their activities, meetings with such people, etc., without giving us the requisite understanding of how we ourselves could undergo the process of ascension firsthand. With only anecdotal reports and no actual "how-to" manual, we are then left struggling with how to either retrofit this concept into our existing beliefs, how to shift our beliefs entirely, or simply reject the system altogether. Texts that claim to give a deeper understanding of ascension, including practical exercises, meditations, diet, etc., are often dismissed by mainstream audiences.
Beginning in the 1930s, a few books were published on this subject, the authors claiming to have had contact with Masters who encouraged the more pragmatic aspects of the Ascension process to be known. Prior to that, the practical knowledge is claimed to have been held in strict secrecy within Mystery schools, allegedly due to the pressures and intolerance of orthodox religious authorities. Even among many who believe themselves to be spiritual adepts or initiates, the concept of ascension has not been widely accepted or understood because of the radical nature of transformation that has been ascribed to it.
Books which purport to detail the developmental process Jesus went through in finding his own Inner Christ Self include The Urantia Book, published in 1955, and A Course In Miracles, suppposedly dictated by Christ Himself and published in 1976.
Examples of Ascended Masters The history of ascension predates Christianity, indeed extending back for thousands of years, yet the story of Jesus is one of the most widely known stories of ascension. In the Bible when Mary Magdalene wants to reach out and touch Christ at the tomb, he says, "Touch me not, for I have not yet ascended to my Father." This has led to the idea that the ascension process is apparently so delicate that even the touch of an ordinary human, who still holds the concepts of limitation and separation, is enough to hold the ascension process back. (This does not explain how Jesus was then able to sit down and have a fish dinner with his disciples.) It is generally thought that one does not have to die in order to ascend, but the fact that Jesus was said to have died, then resurrected, then ascended, has led some people to believe that this must be the case for everyone.
Other individuals with stories of ascension include
- Hercules, following the completion of his twelve labors, the Greek hero was raised to heaven and made a god by Zeus.
- Virgin Mary (Mother of Jesus); When Mary chose to ascend, one story says that she gathered up disciples around her to witness the event, and then she "consumed" herself, contrary to the Roman Catholic belief that Mary was simply "taken up into heaven". Another story has Mary dying in a normal fashion, and her body placed at her own request in a sealed tomb, which was opened and found empty three days later. Muhammad, the famous prophet of Islam is said to have ascended at the site of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem.
- El Morya, said to have been a Rajput prince, also incarnated as King Arthur and as Thomas More. Theosophists believe he was one of the masters who worked closely with Helena Blavatsky to found the original Theosophical Society.
- Mahatma Kuthumi, said to have been a Punjabi who attended Oxford University in 1850, may have authored the poem "Dream of Ravan" published in the Dublin University Magazine about 1854.
- Vishwanath, ascended master rumored to incarnate as individuals with psychic abilities (unconfirmed).
- Djwhal Khul, said to have been a Tibetan who started out with the unlikely name Gai Ben-Jamin. Believers tell the legend of his incarnation on Lemuria where he assisted in rescuing valuable knowledge before the sinking of that continent. He is said later to have transmitted this information to channeller Alice Bailey.
- St. Germain, also known as "The Master Rakozi" in the Alice A. Bailey books based on Theosophy, is believed by many New Age religious groups such as I Am and the Church Universal and Triumphant to have ascended after what was believed to be his final mortal incarnation as Sir Francis Bacon. These groups believe that St. Germain , a mysterious individual reputed to be a "magician" who flourished in France and was widely known among the aristocracy just before the revolution of 1789, was already an ascended master, which is believed to explain his reputed magical powers.
