Ascended Masters
Ascended Masters (excerpted from The Book of Life: Ascension and the Divine World Order)
Let us start our discussion of ascended masters and starseed intervention by considering just what an ascended master is and the nature of their work on this planet. Consider first the word “master.” This word has a very mundane meaning. A master is simply someone who is an acknowledged expert in any particular field of endeavour. Masters get to be masters because of their motivation and commitment to whatever it is they seek to be masters of. These individuals have trained, studied, trained, practised, trained, studied, trained, practised, studied, practised, and trained until they know their specialities so well that the expression of their creative intent becomes automatic and perfectly executed every time. Consider a master piano player (i.e., concert pianist), master carpenter, or master teacher for some idea of what being an accomplished master is all about.
Now, just like we can have master pianists and master teachers, we can also have masters in the ways of Spirit. In general, a spiritual master is someone who is so well versed in the ways of spirit, creative expression of divine will, and the interface of Spirit and physicality that these individuals are able to teach, instruct and lead individuals towards ever greater expressions of divine will and consciousness without much effort, even in severe and adverse conditions.
Now, on most worlds, this is as far as it goes. A spiritual master is simply an accomplished virtuoso who has put in the time and effort to develop the skill level of a master. Anybody can do it as long as they put in the time and the effort. No big deal really. It is a job just like any other.
On this particular planet, and because of its sacred place in creation, a spiritual master would, in order to be called a master, need to have developed an additional set of skills and abilities. Spiritual masters here would, amongst other things, have to be conversant not only in the ways of consciousness and the physical unit but would also have to understand the limitations of consciousness in matter and how consciousness and our bodily energy systems have been distorted by world elites. They would need this knowledge in order to fulfill the task they came to fulfill which was to carefully lead the fragile and damaged physical unit back towards a realization of its divine origin and purpose. Still, despite the specialist spiritual knowledge required on this planet, there’s nothing really special about that either. It is just a job that anybody can apply for and that you can be better or worse at, depending on your dedication to the task and your motivation to study, train, and practice.
Now, that is a spiritual master. So, what is an ascended spiritual master? Well, an ascended master is simply a master that has fully overcome the oppression of the physical body and now stands with the energy system of the body fully activated, and with eyes wide open. Let us call ascended spiritual masters spiritual emissaries to distinguish them from ascended masters in other disciplines. Spiritual emissaries are simply spiritual masters who are fully awake to their mission, have a fully functioning bodily energy system, and are thus in full possession of their creative powers.
No big deal right? And, as you can see, this takes the mystery and the ego out of the job. In fact, spiritual emissaries are nothing more than healthy, activated specialists in their chosen field of endeavor. It is something we can all attain to quite easily if we are dedicated and disciplined.
Now, as I noted above, spiritual emissaries have been a critical component of your ascension interventions. These individuals, and there have been many, were the first ones to come to this planet and ask that people be freed from their bondage. They (we) were also the first ones to die at the hands of the ruling elites for bringing such a message. We have been here since the beginning and have repeatedly entered into physicality after each failed ascension attempt. Of course, our work has changed over time, as each awakening attempt failed, each new condition was added, and more starseeds came to participate in the grand War of Souls. However, the activity of spiritual emissaries has always been guided by one overriding goal, to help create an Infrastructure of Light that would provide an unshakeable foundation for ascension and awakening.
And just what is an Infrastructure of Light?
Well, it is the sum total of the entire progressive spiritual, social, political, and psychological teachings that have been introduced to this world. It is the sum of all technologies that starseeds have brought to help raise the level of consciousness on this planet. In short, the Infrastructure of Light is the sum of all starseed intervention that has been directed at overcoming elite imposed darkness. The Infrastructure of Light is all around you and exists as the glorious manifested intent of millions of light workers. It is a truly magnificent edifice.
Spiritual emissaries had a very important role to play in the creation of this infrastructure. We came to introduce a critical sub-component of this edifice. We came to build the Spiritual Infrastructure of Light. This was a most dangerous job for two reasons. On the one hand, the truths we came with were very powerful truths that were easily recognized as spiritual truths. More than that, however, the truths we brought were a threat. The truths that we brought had a powerful tendency to automatically activate and awaken people who were listening. That is, once a somnambulistic individual heard the uncorrupted truth as set out in the teachings of the spiritual emissaries, they were often rapidly set free from their spiritual bondage.
The veil disintegrated and the chains fell off.
This was not good from the perspective of world elites who depended on the somnambulistic slavery of the masses of this planet. Not good at all and in order to protect their privilege and power, the elites targeted the messages and the individuals who incarnated to bring them. Since elites, especially during the early centuries, had privileged access to the means of distributing truths (only priests could write, for example), twisting the truth and making the high spiritual knowledge of the emissaries into instruments of your spiritual bondage was quite easy. Of course, twisting the truth was never enough. Since the elites have always retained a monopoly on the use of force, murdering the emissaries and oppressing their followers when they needed to was never a problem either.
Never daunted, the spiritual emissaries continued to press truth into this reality. After considerable trial and error, spiritual emissaries modified their strategies and learned to hide the truth in innocuous places or to present the truth in multi-layered or coded messages. In the final version of their strategy for building the Infrastructure of Light, the spiritual emissaries even developed a brilliant way to get the elites themselves to help distribute the truth. They did this by, amongst other things, creating structures of myth with multiple levels of meaning that, on the surface, could be turned into instruments of bondage but that retained, at the deepest level and hidden away from the understanding of the elites, powerful embedded truths that could be used to activate individuals through a process of spiritual revelation.
When these specially coded messages first started to appear, elites reacted in the same way they always did. They murdered the messengers and repressed their followers. However, as the elites twisted the spiritual messages into their own vile service, they found in these messages very powerful tools of bondage, more powerful in fact than they had ever seen. How brilliant was it, after all, to be able to teach the masses that spiritual advancement actually meant the sacrifice of the body to the elites of this world. With a great amount of self-satisfied glee, world elites proceeded to expend incredible effort distributing these coded spiritual messages to all corners of the globe.
Of course, most people (elites included) could not see past the surface truths that were used as messages of bondage. However, this was part of the plan. Unlike previous awakening attempts, the point was not to wake people up instantly but to implant the coded messages in as many brains as possible so that when the time came, a massive and extremely rapid population awakening and empowerment could be triggered with elegant (but hidden) spiritual triggers.
The elites performed the job of the emissaries admirably. In every culture, in every religion, on every continent, and in virtually every mind on this earth, the core metaphors and spiritual truths exist in some form. Now, this spiritual gunpowder just sits there, buried inside your head, waiting to be triggered. Once properly triggered, the awakening and activation process is often very rapid. This is not to say the process of awakening is an easy process. It is not. Awakening, as we will see in chapter seven, is a process of personal growth that can involve painful confrontation of truth and painful unblocking of energies. The whole process can also be very disconcerting because of its rapidity. However, it is possible and you are well supported, so don’t turn away from it. It is what you are here for anyway. I do however recommend that you keep in mind the practical advice on breathing and trusting that I provided in The Great Awakening: Concepts and Techniques for Successful Spiritual Practice.
Since the early sixties, Spirit has been awakening individual starseeds and light workers with individual triggers. These advanced cadres of light workers have been in operation now for almost two decades preparing the way for the explosive awakening that would be triggered during the proper divine moment which is, if you want my opinion, right now.
