Book 24
Visions of the Ascension
Maria grew up beautifully as she continued to visit the retreats of the ascended masters of Light. Each night with the help of Archangel Michael, her soul grew in grace and understanding. Her commitment to the will of God, and her love for the ascended masters became so strong. And so did her dedication and devotion to spreading the teachings she had learned in the retreats throughout the whole world.
As Maria was becoming a beautiful young lady, she communed with angels and ascended masters each day. They would bring to her ideas and explanations and understanding and wisdom that were very much a part of her life. In a way, Maria even considered the ascended masters to be her best friends, and so she did not get as hurt or as upset when some of the other children and people around her did not understand.
Maria visited the retreat of the master Orion in the Rocky Mountains, who explained to her how, when he was meditating under the stars in the Sierra Nevada mountains, he had witnessed the record of the birth of Christ in the newborn Jesus.
Orion told her, “As I gazed upon the mountains, I was inspired with the exaltation of my soul. One night as I lay in camp alone, hearing the music of the stars, my soul took flight from my form and I consciously left my body temple for the first time. My soul was transported unto the whirling fiery centers of the causal bodies of ascended masters, like a preview of the soul's flight unto the ascension. I saw how the soul of Jesus, the avatar of the age had descended from his own starry body into form, and as I descended back into my own body, I rubbed my eyes and wondered if this had all been a dream. Then, when the morning sun appeared and I heard the song of the birds, I remembered the sound of the stars and realized this was not a dream but the reality of everlasting life!”
Maria also remembered an encounter with the ascended master David Lloyd, who described to her the process of his ascension. He explained to her that during his ascension, his physical body was transformed and superceded by his ascended master light body, which is the deathless solar body that transports the soul into the heaven world.
“Jesus taught the importance of making the right preparations to enter the kingdom of heaven,” said David. “He described this deathless solar body as the wedding garment in his parable of the wedding feast. Only those who had the wedding garment could attend the wedding of the soul to Christ, and to the white fire core of the I AM Presence.”
David reminded Maria of the words of the master Serapis Bey in his Dossier on the Ascension. “The flame above in the heart of the Presence, magnetizes the flame below which is the threefold flame within the heart. The wedding garment then descends around the crystal cord to envelop the lifestream with the tangible currents that are the vital essence for the ascension. Tremendous changes take place in the four lower bodies as these four lower bodies are cleansed from all impurities. The physical form grows lighter and lighter and begins to rise into the atmosphere like a helium balloon. The individual ascends then, not in an earthly body but in a glorified spiritual body.”
Maria began to read The Dossier of the Ascension. “Each day you weave a strand of light substance back to the heart of your presence by the shuttle of your attention. Each strand strengthens the anchor beyond the veil and thus draws you into a state of consciousness where God can use you more as an effective instrument for good.
“As the great God Flame envelops the shell of human creation,... all of the cell patterns of the individual, the bony structure, the blood vessels and all the bodily processes go through a great metamorphosis. The blood in the veins changes to liquid golden light. The throat chakra glows with an intense blue white light. The spiritual eye in the center of the forehead becomes an elongated God Flame rising upward.
“The garments of the individual are completely consumed, and he takes on the appearance of being clothed in a white robe, the seamless garment of the Christ. Sometimes the long hair of the higher mental body appears as pure gold on the ascending one. Then again, eyes of any color may become a beautiful electric blue or a pale violet.
“These changes are permanent, and the Ascended One is able to take his light body with him, wherever he wishes, or he may travel without the glorified spiritual body. Ascended beings can and occasionally do appear upon Earth as ordinary mortals, putting on physical garments, resembling the people of Earth and moving among them for cosmic purposes....This is what Saint Germain did when he was the Wonderman of Europe.”
Maria closed the book and started falling asleep in her chair. Archangel Michael appeared.
“I have been learning about the ascension,” said Maria. “Can you tell me more?”
“Yes,” said Archangel Michael. “The ascended master Daniel Rayborn described the gift of the ascension. He was first given the opportunity to experience the atomic accelerator in Saint Germain's Cave of Symbols. The atomic accelerator works on the electronic body, which Jesus referred to as the seamless garment. This electronic body is the bridal garment of the spirit. It remains forever youthful, beautiful, strong, and free from imperfections or limitations. In this body, individuals function wherever they choose in the universe, for there are no barriers of time or place.
“Lady Kristine was also taken to the Cave of Symbols while her body lay unconscious in the hospital. She was seated in the atomic accelerator. The ascension flame spiraled through the atoms, cells and molecules of sheath upon sheath of the outer and inner consciousness, preparing her for the ritual of consummate love, where the soul is stepped up beyond the earthly orbit. The laws of atomic weight, density, and gravitation are no longer limiting, and the soul is free floating in the octaves of spirit.
“Lady Master Kristine met with the ascended master youth Rex, Nada, Bob and Pearl in the Cave of Symbols.”
“Can you tell me more about them?” asked Maria.
“Certainly,” said Archangel Michael. “Rex, Nada, Bob, and Pearl are four ascended master youth who lived in the twentieth century in the United States. Rex and Nada were the children of Daniel and Nada Rayborn. Bob and Pearl Singleton were also students of Saint Germain and the four befriended each other again as Rex and Pearl were twin flames and Bob and Nada were also twin flames.
“They had been together in many previous embodiments including on Atlantis, where Pearl served as a Vestal Virgin in the Temple of Light. Nada was embodied as a Mughal emperor of India and during her reign, a great culture and unification of the people took place. Bob served nobly and well under George Washington during the American Revolution, and Rex was a teacher of truth and a leader of men in many armies of the world, as well as a famous scientist in several lives.
“Nada, Bob, and Pearl were the three children who walked through the fiery furnace described in the Old Testament. Their souls were the souls of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. As they passed through the fiery furnace, the master Enoch appeared with them. He had profoundly prayed for them when they rejected him in a past life and agreed to sponsor them. Having passed through that fiery trial, they continued to embody lifetime after lifetime as initiates of the Great White Brotherhood, and received the call of Saint Germain to focus the flame of eternal youth for people of all ages.
“Rex spoke of the great promise of freedom that Saint Germain won for this great nation under God. He described the concept of the Ascended Master Youth of America as a concept within his heart and called for focuses of light that would appeal to the youth of America and draw them into their own God presence, in order to clearly understand the contrast between the light of God and that which depreciates the flame of Christ in the youth. Rex also announced that he had come from the planet Venus with Nada, Bob, Pearl and a mandala of twenty-five thousand ascended master youth who would serve the youth of the world from the Retreat of the Divine Mother over the Royal Teton Ranch.”
“Now when Daniel Rayborn described the experience of the ascension, he said it was one of great glory—a surge of power, a supreme blessing, contact with the angelic hosts, and the extraordinary union with the Mighty I AM Presence.
“He likened it to standing outside in the noonday sun, gazing up into the heavens and then suddenly being transferred to the midnight hour and seeing the sky full of beautiful stars and points of light. He described experiencing the most holy kinship with the minds and hearts of all ascended beings, in a great reunion of love with the entire spirit of the Great White Brotherhood. His final thought as he rose up upward to be absorbed by this great light was—If only I could tell them—and then he realized that that thought had filled the mind and consciousness of everyone who ascends. ”
As Archangel Michael was describing Daniel Rayborn's ascension to Maria, the master appeared with his ascended wife Nada Rayborn. These two lived in the Western United States and had a ranch in the early part of the 20th century.
Nada Rayborn described her ascension. “The ascension is so practical,” she said. “When my body lay in the tomb, I was free from that body, discussing with Saint Germain the plans for my ascension, my eternal victory over the conditions of the earth. I only lost consciousness for a few moments in the outer, and then became vividly conscious in my higher mental body. It was a state of consciousness never to be forgotten. Saint Germain taught me how to release the currents of energy quickly from my Mighty I AM Presence, in order to refine the part of my physical body that I could raise into my higher mental body so that I could become an ascended being. When the refined part of our physical body is absorbed into our higher mental body, the transformation from the human into the divine takes place. All appearance of age leaves our body, and the physical garment dissolves into the garments of our higher self . A great ray of light and energy descends from the Mighty I AM Presence and absorbs the refined part of our physical body, that now ascends on this ray of light from the Mighty I AM Presence. Through this process, we become ascended beings like Jesus and so many other ascended masters.
Nada Rayborn continued: “Oh, the thrill of victory when I began to see the change through the rays. I watched every cell of my body as that change was taking place. I watched the light renewing and expanding the life within each cell, dissolving all density. My husband Daniel also ascended. He came to see us in the Cave of Symbols. I was in my wondrous ascended body, as tangible as my physical body.”
“No happiness could exceed this in any way!” said Daniel Rayborn. “It is the end of all human pilgrimage on earth. You are not only free from the limitations of earth, you can go in your ascended body and minister to the people of earth in such great power and activity, you can also go anywhere in the universe and receive first hand the actual experience, knowledge, or wisdom that you seek. I say to you tonight that more than two-thirds of you who have become aware of your Mighty I AM Presence will either free themselves in this embodiment or the next. There will be hundreds in this embodiment who will make the ascension. Then, in the next embodiment, there will be thousands. Now will you accept the protection of your Mighty I AM Presence, all powerfully active within you and your outer world of activity, knowing that from this day forth you cannot be deprived of anything which you require in your service of the light. You have the privilege of calling its mighty intelligent energy into action to produce perfection and to make everything harmonious. No human creation can stand before the onrush of this mighty energy, God—the Mighty I AM Presence, which beats your heart—is your certain victory.”
“What you must understand,” added Archangel Michael, “is that a good percentage of you is already in the heaven world by means of the violet flame. Every energy you transmute ascends daily, to become part of your deathless solar body. It is part of Ishvara, the part of you that is integrated with your Christ consciousness. Understand that part of you is ascended right now, but not all. The ascension is a process of many lifetimes, and so is the judgment. The final moment appears in the twinkling of an eye, when the final trump sounds. Then, the ascension comes or the second death comes. It is the same flame.”
“Now David Lloyd,” continued Archangel Michael, “had a very interesting experience where he met Saint Germain on Mount Shasta. Saint Germain handed David a cup of light with a sparkling, living liquid light. As David drank from this elixir, his youth returned, and he rose from the ground straight into his ascension in the light.
“David Lloyd is one of the masters who made a physical ascension in recent times, whereby his soul united with the fire body of his I AM Presence while still in a physical body.”
Archangel Michael explained that most people qualify for the ascension from inner levels after the soul has departed the physical body, but some among mankind, who have balanced between 95 and 100 percent of their karma, are given the opportunity to take a physical ascension.
“During the ascension process,” said Archangel Michael, “the physical body is transformed by the ascended master light body and the soul becomes permanently clothed with that ascended master light body, which has also been called the wedding garment and the deathless solar body.”
“It sounds so amazing,” said Maria. “I can hardly wait!”
As Maria and Archangel Michael were conversing, a great being of light descended from the heavens like an archeia, and wherever she stepped, little white edelweiss flowers sprang up from the ground. “This is Lady Edelweiss, who was the Messenger of Music Dorothy Lee Fulton,” said Archangel Michael, “and before that, the composer Brahms. She recently made her ascension.”“Let nothing take you from your ascension,” Lady Edelweiss said with eyes both loving and fierce. “Nothing,” she said again, before dissolving her form back into higher octaves.
“Let us look together at the words of this song that were given by the Maha Chohan to the Messenger of Music. It is called Come Holy Dove The Ascension.”“I remember,” said Maria. “The Maha Chohan told me about these songs when we were in his retreat.”
“Yes,” said Archangel Michael. “Now let me read the words to you.”
Maria nodded.
The words say, “Standing at the doorway between heaven and earth, accelerated by the light of the sun of my own I AM Presence.
“Shadows and veils of human thought vanish in the air. I await the expansion of the great, macrocosmic world. Fires ascending from the sun proclaim the union of holy ones.
“Signs of wonder, signs of glory, signs of starlight in the heavens. Centered in the whole eye consciousness, I know I shall see God....
“Transcend time and space. Arise into the skies, into stellar space. Holy fire, propelling my God Presence into the center of the Sun. Before my God I stand, clothed upon with garments of the Sun....
“I pledge undying love, clasping hands, loving hands with the brethren. Tenderly smiling upon me, kindred souls of the Brotherhood, kindred souls of the Holy City, joyous hearts aglow, greet me with a holy kiss.
“Tears of joy mingle with the tears of saints in love's resolution, I enter the city of eternal day. I am sealed in the OM, sacred altar of love.”
As Archangel Michael read these words, a beautiful flame entered Maria's own heart. It was a blessing from Lady Edelweiss that filled Maria's eyes with tears of joy, before she returned to her body, where her eyes were still sealed .
Then upon awakening, Maria opened her decree book, to the Golden Pink Glow Ray.
“O Brotherhood at Luxor, and blest Serapis Bey,
Hear our call and answer by Love's ascending ray.
Charge, charge, charge our being with essence pure and bright!
Let thy hallowed radiance, of Ascension's mighty Light!
Blaze it's dazzling Light rays upward in God's name
Till all of heaven claims us, for God's ascending flame!”
