Ascended Master Dictations
Consciousness
by the Maha Chohan
The following addresses are taken from Thomas Printz' Private Bulletin, Book 1. The Maha Chohan is addressing the Bridge to Freedom students on June 12, 1955. This was a group of students approximatelly 200 strong who gathered to listen to Geraldine Innocente who channeled various Ascended Masters. Geraldine was approached by Ascended Master El Morya, her ascended twin flame, who prepared her one year prior to the first ascended master address. These rare and remarkable addresses took place between 1952 and 1962 approximately, until Geraldine transitioned. They were published privately for members. After the channel's passing, the teachings were all but lost until they were painstakingly collected and republished by Werner and Annette Schroeder of Mt. Shasta, California under the Ascemded Master Teaching Foundation (AMTF). More publications can be ordered at: www.ascendedmaster.org.

"Consciousness” is a word that has muddled the minds of metaphysical students almost since the beginning of time by its vagueness of expression, yet every lifestream in and out of the flesh, and every perfected being in God’s Kingdom, is but a “state of consciousness.”
It is a very simple and clear expression, when carefully thought through and understood. What you are conscious of is your state of consciousness. The man who is conscious only of the physical body and the appetites and passions of the senses, lives in the state of consciousness of the animal-man, or what is called the body consciousness. The whole purpose of evolution is to develop a Godly state of consciousness, in which the individual is only aware of that which is true and good and eternal.
When you come under the direction of the Spiritual Hierarchy, beloved ones, we begin to feed your consciousness, just as you would feed a very young mammal with a ”medicine dropper,” and if the mind is open to new ideas, the consciousness begins to widen. For instance, you are aware now that there are other spiritual beings who are interested in man’s spiritual progress besides the Master Jesus;. You are aware of the activities of the Sacred Fire provided by life for the undoing of your misdeeds, and the Sacred Fire of Mercy, which can be invoked to changer your human qualities. Thus, the students under this activity havee undergone an enlargement of consciousness, in their awareness of a broader and truer vision of the universe and, to use an earthly phrase, have learned to understand “what makes it tick.”
When Jesus admonished the people not to lay up riches on Earth, he meant to convey to them that the only activity of any lasting value to the lifestream’s journey through the Earth plane was the enriching and expanding of the consciousness, which would one day leave the body sheath for another realm, and again expand the consciousness in the new field. What a man does to perpetuate his body, his earthly fruitfulness, the physical comforts of himself or others, is unimportant except as it allows the consciousness of himself or those whom he serves to be enriched and unfolded thereby.
Here you have a fine line of demarcation. If you do physical labor to satisfy the outer self and the consciousness of either yourself or those for whom you labor, and it becomes filled with selfishness or vanity, you have stolen and used God’s life in vain - but if you do physical labor to relieve or release another lifestream from the pressure of that labor, that their consciousness of God might grow, and you perpetuate a higher state of being in a series of lifestreams aspiring Godward, then you are serving a good purpose. Remember always, that man’s only true service is to expand the Godly consciousness through ALL life, and this includes the three kingdoms simultaneously evolving on the Earth plane. Any other service is a mistaken one. If you will ask, beloved ones, for the Ascended Jesus Christ consciousness, you will find that much revelation and illumination will flow into your thinking and feeling worlds in a natural manner, that will be truly the greatest teacher you could have.

The Gates of Birth
by the Maha Chohan
Address given thru Geraldine Innocente on June 19, 1955
I have thought you might enjoy an account of the activities that take place at inner levels during the great ceremony preceding the initiation of birth. This scene is enacted each year in the month of May, when all the souls destined for re-embodiment during the coming twelve-month period are assembled together in a mighty edifice called the Temple of the Sacred Heart, so named because it is here that the hearts which hold the life spark of the physical bodies, in which these souls will dwell during their sojourn on the Earth plane, are blessed by the beloved Master Mary, which loving service to life has earned for her the title of “Universal Mother.”
I now offer you, in the words of the mighty Uriel, an eye-picture of what goes on during the solemn ceremony when these millions of souls take the vow of obedience to life, dedicate their energies while in embodiment to the service of their individual God-Presences, and are blessed by various members of the Celestial Hierarchy, before they retire for a short while in preparation for the great initiation of physicla birth.
As you read it, beloved ones, do not dismiss it from your minds as just so much knowledge given for your entertainment, but rather hold these souls in your prayers, asking that the proper parents, omes and environment await these hopeful hearts. They come from the octaves of light to serve mankind, but - with the bands of forgetfulness on their brows, many, through the homes and environments in which they find themselves, do not remember their mission during the entire embodiment. Call for their awakening and illumination, and in this way you will be doing your share in helping to fulfill the divine plan for our beloved planet.
Address by Archangel Uriel
Ceremony of souls called to birth
Address through Geraldine Innocente, May 8, 1955
Today we have the magnificent service which it is my honor to describe to you - the service of drawing forth in the Sacred Heart Temple the millions of souls who will be called upon to pass through the gates of birth during this next twelve-month period.
Let me take you now on the wings of your own free consciousness, to leave for a little while the fetters of flesh, the worries of mind, the turmoil of human feelings, and - dressed in your seamless robes of white - [etheric body] be, not only spectators, but a part of the blessing upon those lifestreams who are coming into the Earth theater at a time when great strength and great love shall be required of them.
This Temple of the Sacred Heart is under the direction of the beloved Mary, mother of the Master Jesus. Great fields of long, waving green grass stretch out from the building in all directions, and immediately surrounding it are gardens filled with all the beatuiful flowers representative of those which bloom in your own gardens.
The souls destined for re-embodiment and dedication may be seen now, dressed in white garments, making their way singly and in groups through these pleasant meadows, and so we approach the temple.
As we come closer, we see the beloved Mary, whose service to life is to fashion the heart, the actual physical heart of the body in which each soul destined for re-embodiment in Earth will dwell. She stands at the great open doors of the temple with arms stretched out in welcome, and is smiling as she looks upon the approaching souls, who are shortly to be born through pain into the world of form, wrapped in the bonds of forgetfulness - bringing with them vows, talents, accomplishments, developed capacities and gifts which only God, alone, knows they will ever develop. She looks radiantly beautiful, robed in garments of soft, delicate pink, her golden hair lying loosely upon her shoulders. Upon her head is a wreath of small, pink violets.
At Mary’s right stands the beloved Vesta, beautiful Goddess of our physical Sun, dressed in snowy white garments, a garland of white blossoms on her lovely head. On Mary’s left stands the Lady Venus, beautiful mother of love, robed in cerulean blue, flowers of the same celestial color adorning her long, golden hair.
Now, as these souls approach the temple, beloved ones, they are those who have been summoned for rebirth. In each year, so much of the karma that remains in the atmosphere of Earth must be dissolved, therefore, it is necessary that many of the lifestreams who created it must be sent back into the world of form, and be given opportunities to face conditions, and find acquittal for that karma. These are the ones who are summoned by the Karmic Board and are reluctant to go.
Then there are the conscious chelas of the Masters, those who represent the Chohans of the Rays and others who have studied at the temples in the inner spheres. These latter are filled with the blazing light of zeal and enthusiasm, that enthusiasm which you, too, once knew before you found the flesh so heavy and reluctant. These are the souls who have applied to and petitioned the Karmic Board for opportunity to re-embody, and as there is no favoritism in divine justice, these also come under the law that out of every three applicants, two are rejected and one accepted.
Now, as we approach the ceremony, I would like you to stop and think, dear ones, and feel deep within yourselves what it means when you have lived in the “Elysian fields,” when you have looked upon the face of the Father, when you have felt the enveloping love of the angels, when you have seen not “through a glass darkly,” but face to face, when you have experimented with and completed some magnificent musical composition, some daring invention, some glorious architectural temple, some magnificent religious contribution, or perhaps some political manifestation, and you stand in your full freedom offering your all to life - then to be born into this world of form a helpless infant without even the gift of focused sight, working by sense, by instinct, coming gradually into possession just of the faculties of the body - what a degradation that is for a proud intelligence.
Sometimes a whole lifetime goes by without the soul ever getting conscious possession of the dream, the vision, the vow, for which the Lords of Karma allowed it embodiment - denying two others, who, perhaps had they come, might have had tenacity enough of spirit, selflessness enough of purpose, vocation deep enough within the heart to have done that which the one who came had left undone.
You, for whom the veil has been rent, you, who have enjoyed the Elysian fields, you, who have been reminded in the days of your strength of that which is your purpose and design, I say you are more fortunate than the millions who have gone before, who have stumbled in darkness and blindness, century after century, feeling in their hearts the unrest and the hidden knowledge that there was something to be done, but finding no door of consciousness open to tell them what to do and how to do it.
May God grant that there may be some individuals still in embodiment advanced enough and interested enough to spark the light of the souls who stand before Mary today, and fan it into living flame when they reach maturity on the Earth plane - that they might be able to say with the beloved Jesus, “For this was I born, for this reason came I into the world of form - that I may manifest the truth.” May each one be able to pray within himself, “O! All glory be to the One Eternal Father, that his mercy has caused me to remember my obligations to life before the sands of my time have run out, while here is still breath in these nostrils, life in these loins, while I have yet strength and energy, the power of speech and feeling and the capacity to make things right!”
Oh, lovely ones, I have so often seen souls return who, like these standing here today at inner levels, had much light, which had been swallowed up by the riptides of billions of men and women’s thinking, the effluvia of the age attaching itself to their various weaknesses, wrapping itself around them, until the day of opportunity had come and gone. Then, their brief time upon the stage of life past, their speeches unsaid, their compositions unplayed, their role unfilled, they returned home. Your poet spoke truly when he said, “Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: “It might have been.”
Oh, beloved ones, on behalf of those who come to Earth now, I ask a heart prayer from deep within your being, that each incoming soul shall be such a light and fire, such a presence, that within the course of that one Earth life, not only, but millions of Christ Beings will be developed.
Now, if you will notice, the seven Chohans stand within the center of the great group of souls who are seeking re-embodiment. As we described it to you last year, their formation takes the appearance of a gigantic seven-pointed star, each group looking something like the wedge of a great pie,, the wide part forming the circle at the center within which the Chohans stand, each One confronting his own people, the formation narrowing outward until it reaches the point of the star.
Viewed from a distance, this great star-shaped formation of human souls presents a most magnificent aspect, each section appearing in the color of the ray under which it is developing. Last year, all the participants wore pink, but this year it was decided that each individual wear the color of his or her ray, each of the seven great Chohans appearing in the deepest and truest color of his respective ray.
Every member of this vast concourse of souls faces inward toward the circle in the center of the star where the seven Chohans stand facing outward, toward their people. Those closest in proximity to the Masters are the trained, developed chelas, who will be the leaders of the future, in their particular fields of endeavor.
Facing the Master Morya, mighty Chohan of the First Ray, are the great statesmen and governmental heads of tomorrow. These are dressed in deep sapphire blue, blending into the lighter shades as this section of the star reaches the outermost point.
Next, we have the beloved Kuthumi, great Chohan of the Second Ray. This Master is in deep gold, as are also his trained chelas in the first rows, who are the teachers and educators of the future. The gold in this section gradually changes to almost white at the point.
Facing Paul, known as The Venetian, beloved Chohan of the Third Ray, are the exponents of universal brotherhood, the utopia that is to manifest on Earth. In this gorup, also, are all those interested in the various arts. The color of this section runs from the deep, deep rose of the Master and his close disciples, to the very pale pink at the farthest point.
Fronting Serapis, great Chohan of the Fourth Ray, are all those vitally interested in the resurrection and the ascension, the ones nearest to him, of course, being his trained chelas. The majority of souls in this class will gravitate to the esoteric circles of the future. This section is all white, from the sparkling garments of those in front, to the almost eggshell shade farther out.
The great Hilarion, Chohan of the Fifth Ray, is next. Both he and his trained chelas in the front row are in deep emerald green, graduating to the paler shades near the point. In this group are the future scientists, missionaries, men of medicine and inventors, the hope of the New Age.
In the next section we have the beloved Jesus, great Chohan of the Sixth Ray. His chelas are those who will work in the same activity as my own - ministration. In this portion of the star we have a two-fold color scheme - ruby and gold - the Master, himself, appearing in deep pink-ruby in honor of the Sacred Heart Temple, and beloved Mary, who is the presiding Master of that temple.
The beloved Saint Germain, Chohan of the great Seventh Ray, occupies the section between the beloved Jesus and El Morya. He looks magnificent, as usual, in deep royal purple, his chelas appearing in a slightly lighter shade. The balance of people in his section will, he hopes, feed into his activity in the days to come. This portion of the star presents a most beautiful aspect, ranging as it does from the deep purple to a delicate violet at the point.
In each section, a fairly wide aisle separates the “volunteer souls” from those summoned by Cosmic Law to fulfill part of their unfinished obligations to life by re-incarnation on the Earth plane. A great band of angelic beings from each of the seven spheres, clothed in the magnificent colors of their rays, surrounds each section of the star.
While the souls in the seven divisions have been getting into place, and the seven Chohans have been taking their positions, a great band of mighty spirits has been convening in the very center of the star, to offer their blessing and encouragement to the departing units. These include the beloved Vesta and the Lady Venus, the Lord Buddha and Lord Maitreya, the Maha Chohan with Pallas Athena, the Archangels and Archaii, the beloved Mary, beloved Portia, and many other Great Ones.
Following the procedure of last year, I will now ask the group to sing of the opportunities to serve offered on the Earth plane, which coming from incarnated spirits, should give certain encouragement to those about to go thither (audience rises and sings “Opportunity to Call”)
Thank you, beloved ones. Will you now sing the RESPONSE in that beautiful consecration song, dedicated to the beloved Raphael? Please render this verse seven times. As you sing, each Chohan will have his people bend the knee before the mighty beings at the center of the star to receive their blessing and benediction (audience sings “Consecrate me to Earth’s great victory, Lift her strain and her stress, By Light’s great happiness. Every heart sings, as our Raphael brings, Healing in his great wings.”)
Thank you, beloved ones. As this great ceremony proceeds and the activity of benediction enfolds everyone present, we have with us again the visitors from other stars and planets, volunteers, willing to take incarnation on Earth for the purpose of setting the beloved Sanat Kumara free. They all stand to one side, their eyes like great luminous orbs and their wh9ole beings brilliant with inner light. They wear shimmering robes of dazzling whiteness, studded with stars. The Karmic Board accepts very few of these great spirits due to the great sacrifice it would entail on their part. Last year a beautiful golden-haired Buddha was accepted and lives somewhere on Earth today in a child’s body. May God protect him. URIEL. *
Karma

Originally titled Vibration, Radiation and Karma
by Maha Chohan, 5/9/54, Thomas Printz Bulletin, Book 1, page 232
Vibration and radiation are co-existent with form. Even a blade of grass, a flower, a rock or tree emits unconsciously, a a rate of vibration which affects the cosmos as a whole, and which mind you by the undulation of its energy, rearranges the atoms of the entire universe. Thus all life is constantly contributing to a changing of the actual center of the cosmos. This law applies to the Ascended Host as well as to men evolving on the Earth’s surface, and even to the Godhead, itself.
The universe, itself is filled with electronic light, which is intelligent. These electrons have the power and capacity, within themselves, to receive directions, and by the exertion of their own intelligence, perform the necessary activities required to manifest those directions.
Within this universal light substance, which fills the universe from the heart center to its periphery, are self-conscious beings who alone have the power to set this electronic light substance into motion. The intelligence within the light substance does not act until set into motion by a superior power -- a thought and feeling focus endowed with God-authority. The electronic light would remain in the unformed state if some God Intelligences did not charge into it a direction for pattern and outline.
These individualized foci of intelligence, who are the motivating power behind creation are the God-Beings (Masters). Mankind also is endowed with the capacity to rearrange electronic particles, therefore every individual is a student in the classroom of life.
Any individual, no matter how ignorant or untrained, endowed with a thought and feeling principle, is a conscious or unconscious influence upon the distribution and arrangement of the electronic substance of the universe in which he finds being, and it is for the purpose that he may consciously cooperate with the design of the Godhead, that mankind is now being trained. This conscious control of the electronic substance, in accord with the God plan, lies within the evolution of both his intelligence, and his capacity to embrace the God-Consciousness. Meditate, my children, upon the power of the spark of God that lives within your hearts. Consciously place the problems that beset you in the Transmuting Flame of its Presence. Surrender your human will to its guidance, and say with Jesus, “Not my will, but thine be done.” Then you may also say, “Whosoever seeth me, seeth the Father.” Blessings and love.
And more by the Maha Chohan
The following week 5/16/54
If man could even partially comprehend the Law governing energy and vibration he would be in a fair way toward self-mastery. As we have said before, there is no such thing as a being without vibration and radiation. Man is in training and he will come one day to a realization that the power to create vibration is not only a responsibility, but an opportunity by which mastery and divinity can be experienced through the individualized ego.
For millions of centuries, man by accepting individuality, has created vibration, which moved from the center of his being to the periphery of the cosmos, and is constantly, throughout the entire course of his individualization, affected by every electron within that cosmic orbit, to some degree. Just as when you drop a pebble into the center of a pool you see the eddies go out in ever-widening circles until they reach the periphery, returning again to the center - so everything within that pool is affected by the vibrations caused by the activity at the center. From the very moment man took being, the electronic light, in obedience to the decree of the Father, became his servant
When the vibratory action that he set into motion reached the periphery of its circle, it began its return journey back into his own experience and the bombardment of the returning light sent back from the sounding board of the universe became that which is known as karma - the more positive and intense the individual, the more powerful the vibration and its amplification back into the lifestream, whether the outgoing quality was good or evil.
As the vibratory action around him became more and more chaotic, desire for knowledge and a way and means of finding peace arose within the heart. Then the man became an applicant for Godhood, and it is at this point that the training of the lifestream began. The intricacies of vibration are such that I could spend a full week in illustrating the tremendous impact of one individual on the universe, each organism within the body vibrating and emitting certain energy waves that contribute to the light or shadow of the planet. Thus, the body elemental alone affects the passion or the aspiration of every incarnate soul. Then the soul has a vibration which, when awakened, is a powerful force for good, for every seeker - no matter how confused the search - affects the mass-consciousness of all souls toward aspiration.
Then the mind tunes in and vibrates, according to its choice of material, affecting in turn all the mind-stuff in the universe, and so we could go on and on in amplification of the powers of vibration - unconscious vibration, that is. Now, we come to the opportunity of consciously directing into the universal light a vibration that would be of beneficent interest to the universe. The mind, the heart. the intelligence can be incorporated into this experiment. Visualize electronic light - unformed - with every electron receptive, obedient, alert, waiting for your message. Then set up a vibration consciously in your feelings. See the energy waves pass out from you in ever widening circles and the obedient electrons start into motion. Choose, if you will, a particular quality or a blessing that would benefit the race.
It is a beautiful pastime for spending an hour of relaxation and is a wonderful treatment for the body, the nervous system and the soul. First, one must experiment with the mind, the heart, the feelings, and later the ganglionic centers can be trained to send forth these vibrations even when the conscious mind is busy with other matters. The untrained people of the world so this unconsciously in the sending forth of Christmas and Easter blessings. Le me see now what my chelas will do consciously.

Ceremony of souls called to birth
Address through Geraldine Innocente, May 8, 1955
Today we have the magnificent service which it is my honor to describe to you - the service of drawing forth in the Sacred Heart Temple the millions of souls who will be called upon to pass through the gates of birth during this next twelve-month period.
Let me take you now on the wings of your own free consciousness, to leave for a little while the fetters of flesh, the worries of mind, the turmoil of human feelings, and - dressed in your seamless robes of white - [etheric body] be, not only spectators, but a part of the blessing upon those lifestreams who are coming into the Earth theater at a time when great strength and great love shall be required of them.
This Temple of the Sacred Heart is under the direction of the beloved Mary, mother of the Master Jesus. Great fields of long, waving green grass stretch out from the building in all directions, and immediately surrounding it are gardens filled with all the beatuiful flowers representative of those which bloom in your own gardens.
The souls destined for re-embodiment and dedication may be seen now, dressed in white garments, making their way singly and in groups through these pleasant meadows, and so we approach the temple.
As we come closer, we see the beloved Mary, whose service to life is to fashion the heart, the actual physical heart of the body in which each soul destined for re-embodiment in Earth will dwell. She stands at the great open doors of the temple with arms stretched out in welcome, and is smiling as she looks upon the approaching souls, who are shortly to be born through pain into the world of form, wrapped in the bonds of forgetfulness - bringing with them vows, talents, accomplishments, developed capacities and gifts which only God, alone, knows they will ever develop. She looks radiantly beautiful, robed in garments of soft, delicate pink, her golden hair lying loosely upon her shoulders. Upon her head is a wreath of small, pink violets.
At Mary’s right stands the beloved Vesta, beautiful Goddess of our physical Sun, dressed in snowy white garments, a garland of white blossoms on her lovely head. On Mary’s left stands the Lady Venus, beautiful mother of love, robed in cerulean blue, flowers of the same celestial color adorning her long, golden hair.
Now, as these souls approach the temple, beloved ones, they are those who have been summoned for rebirth. In each year, so much of the karma that remains in the atmosphere of Earth must be dissolved, therefore, it is necessary that many of the lifestreams who created it must be sent back into the world of form, and be given opportunities to face conditions, and find acquittal for that karma.

Now, as we approach the ceremony, I would like you to stop and think, dear ones, and feel deep within yourselves what it means when you have lived in the “Elysian fields,” when you have looked upon the face of the Father, when you have felt the enveloping love of the angels, when you have seen not “through a glass darkly,” but face to face, when you have experimented with and completed some magnificent musical composition, some daring invention, some glorious architectural temple, some magnificent religious contribution, or perhaps some political manifestation, and you stand in your full freedom offering your all to life - then to be born into this world of form a helpless infant without even the gift of focused sight, working by sense, by instinct, coming gradually into possession just of the faculties of the body - what a degradation that is for a proud intelligence.

May God grant that there may be some individuals still in embodiment advanced enough and interested enough to spark the light of the souls who stand before Mary today, and fan it into living flame when they reach maturity on the Earth plane - that they might be able to say with the beloved Jesus, “For this was I born, for this reason came I into the world of form - that I may manifest the truth.” May each one be able to pray within himself, “O! All glory be to the One Eternal Father, that his mercy has caused me to remember my obligations to life before the sands of my time have run out, while here is still breath in these nostrils, life in these loins, while I have yet strength and energy, the power of speech and feeling and the capacity to make things right!”
Oh, lovely ones, I have so often seen souls return who, like these standing here today at inner levels, had much light, which had been swallowed up by the riptides of billions of men and women’s thinking, the effluvia of the age attaching itself to their various weaknesses, wrapping itself around them, until the day of opportunity had come and gone. Then, their brief time upon the stage of life past, their speeches unsaid, their compositions unplayed, their role unfilled, they returned home. Your poet spoke truly when he said, “Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: “It might have been.”
Oh, beloved ones, on behalf of those who come to Earth now, I ask a heart prayer from deep within your being, that each incoming soul shall be such a light and fire, such a presence, that within the course of that one Earth life, not only, but millions of Christ Beings will be developed.
Now, if you will notice, the seven Chohans stand within the center of the great group of souls who are seeking re-embodiment. As we described it to you last year, their formation takes the appearance of a gigantic seven-pointed star, each group looking something like the wedge of a great pie,, the wide part forming the circle at the center within which the Chohans stand, each One confronting his own people, the formation narrowing outward until it reaches the point of the star.
Viewed from a distance, this great star-shaped formation of human souls presents a most magnificent aspect, each section appearing in the color of the ray under which it is developing. Last year, all the participants wore pink, but this year it was decided that each individual wear the color of his or her ray, each of the seven great Chohans appearing in the deepest and truest color of his respective ray.
Every member of this vast concourse of souls faces inward toward the circle in the center of the star where the seven Chohans stand facing outward, toward their people. Those closest in proximity to the Masters are the trained, developed chelas, who will be the leaders of the future, in their particular fields of endeavor.
Facing the Master Morya, mighty Chohan of the First Ray, are the great statesmen and governmental heads of tomorrow. These are dressed in deep sapphire blue, blending into the lighter shades as this section of the star reaches the outermost point.
Next, we have the beloved Kuthumi, great Chohan of the Second Ray. This Master is in deep gold, as are also his trained chelas in the first rows, who are the teachers and educators of the future. The gold in this section gradually changes to almost white at the point.
Facing Paul, known as The Venetian, beloved Chohan of the Third Ray, are the exponents of universal brotherhood, the utopia that is to manifest on Earth. In this gorup, also, are all those interested in the various arts. The color of this section runs from the deep, deep rose of the Master and his close disciples, to the very pale pink at the farthest point.
Fronting Serapis, great Chohan of the Fourth Ray, are all those vitally interested in the resurrection and the ascension, the ones nearest to him, of course, being his trained chelas. The majority of souls in this class will gravitate to the esoteric circles of the future. This section is all white, from the sparkling garments of those in front, to the almost eggshell shade farther out.
The great Hilarion, Chohan of the Fifth Ray, is next. Both he and his trained chelas in the front row are in deep emerald green, graduating to the paler shades near the point. In this group are the future scientists, missionaries, men of medicine and inventors, the hope of the New Age.
In the next section we have the beloved Jesus, great Chohan of the Sixth Ray. His chelas are those who will work in the same activity as my own - ministration. In this portion of the star we have a two-fold color scheme - ruby and gold - the Master, himself, appearing in deep pink-ruby in honor of the Sacred Heart Temple, and beloved Mary, who is the presiding Master of that temple.
The beloved Saint Germain, Chohan of the great Seventh Ray, occupies the section between the beloved Jesus and El Morya. He looks magnificent, as usual, in deep royal purple, his chelas appearing in a slightly lighter shade. The balance of people in his section will, he hopes, feed into his activity in the days to come. This portion of the star presents a most beautiful aspect, ranging as it does from the deep purple to a delicate violet at the point.
In each section, a fairly wide aisle separates the “volunteer souls” from those summoned by Cosmic Law to fulfill part of their unfinished obligations to life by re-incarnation on the Earth plane. A great band of angelic beings from each of the seven spheres, clothed in the magnificent colors of their rays, surrounds each section of the star.
While the souls in the seven divisions have been getting into place, and the seven Chohans have been taking their positions, a great band of mighty spirits has been convening in the very center of the star, to offer their blessing and encouragement to the departing units. These include the beloved Vesta and the Lady Venus, the Lord Buddha and Lord Maitreya, the Maha Chohan with Pallas Athena, the Archangels and Archaii, the beloved Mary, beloved Portia, and many other Great Ones.
Following the procedure of last year, I will now ask the group to sing of the opportunities to serve offered on the Earth plane, which coming from incarnated spirits, should give certain encouragement to those about to go thither (audience rises and sings “Opportunity to Call”)
Thank you, beloved ones. Will you now sing the RESPONSE in that beautiful consecration song, dedicated to the beloved Raphael? Please render this verse seven times. As you sing, each Chohan will have his people bend the knee before the mighty beings at the center of the star to receive their blessing and benediction (audience sings “Consecrate me to Earth’s great victory, Lift her strain and her stress, By Light’s great happiness. Every heart sings, as our Raphael brings, Healing in his great wings.”)
Thank you, beloved ones. As this great ceremony proceeds and the activity of benediction enfolds everyone present, we have with us again the visitors from other stars and planets, volunteers, willing to take incarnation on Earth for the purpose of setting the beloved Sanat Kumara free. They all stand to one side, their eyes like great luminous orbs and their wh9ole beings brilliant with inner light. They wear shimmering robes of dazzling whiteness, studded with stars. The Karmic Board accepts very few of these great spirits due to the great sacrifice it would entail on their part. Last year a beautiful golden-haired Buddha was accepted and lives somewhere on Earth today in a child’s body. May God protect him. URIEL. *

Originally titled Vibration, Radiation and Karma
by Maha Chohan, 5/9/54, Thomas Printz Bulletin, Book 1, page 232
Vibration and radiation are co-existent with form. Even a blade of grass, a flower, a rock or tree emits unconsciously, a a rate of vibration which affects the cosmos as a whole, and which mind you by the undulation of its energy, rearranges the atoms of the entire universe. Thus all life is constantly contributing to a changing of the actual center of the cosmos. This law applies to the Ascended Host as well as to men evolving on the Earth’s surface, and even to the Godhead, itself.
The universe, itself is filled with electronic light, which is intelligent. These electrons have the power and capacity, within themselves, to receive directions, and by the exertion of their own intelligence, perform the necessary activities required to manifest those directions.
Within this universal light substance, which fills the universe from the heart center to its periphery, are self-conscious beings who alone have the power to set this electronic light substance into motion. The intelligence within the light substance does not act until set into motion by a superior power -- a thought and feeling focus endowed with God-authority. The electronic light would remain in the unformed state if some God Intelligences did not charge into it a direction for pattern and outline.
These individualized foci of intelligence, who are the motivating power behind creation are the God-Beings (Masters). Mankind also is endowed with the capacity to rearrange electronic particles, therefore every individual is a student in the classroom of life.
Any individual, no matter how ignorant or untrained, endowed with a thought and feeling principle, is a conscious or unconscious influence upon the distribution and arrangement of the electronic substance of the universe in which he finds being, and it is for the purpose that he may consciously cooperate with the design of the Godhead, that mankind is now being trained. This conscious control of the electronic substance, in accord with the God plan, lies within the evolution of both his intelligence, and his capacity to embrace the God-Consciousness. Meditate, my children, upon the power of the spark of God that lives within your hearts. Consciously place the problems that beset you in the Transmuting Flame of its Presence. Surrender your human will to its guidance, and say with Jesus, “Not my will, but thine be done.” Then you may also say, “Whosoever seeth me, seeth the Father.” Blessings and love.
And more by the Maha Chohan
The following week 5/16/54
If man could even partially comprehend the Law governing energy and vibration he would be in a fair way toward self-mastery. As we have said before, there is no such thing as a being without vibration and radiation. Man is in training and he will come one day to a realization that the power to create vibration is not only a responsibility, but an opportunity by which mastery and divinity can be experienced through the individualized ego.
For millions of centuries, man by accepting individuality, has created vibration, which moved from the center of his being to the periphery of the cosmos, and is constantly, throughout the entire course of his individualization, affected by every electron within that cosmic orbit, to some degree. Just as when you drop a pebble into the center of a pool you see the eddies go out in ever-widening circles until they reach the periphery, returning again to the center - so everything within that pool is affected by the vibrations caused by the activity at the center. From the very moment man took being, the electronic light, in obedience to the decree of the Father, became his servant
When the vibratory action that he set into motion reached the periphery of its circle, it began its return journey back into his own experience and the bombardment of the returning light sent back from the sounding board of the universe became that which is known as karma - the more positive and intense the individual, the more powerful the vibration and its amplification back into the lifestream, whether the outgoing quality was good or evil.
As the vibratory action around him became more and more chaotic, desire for knowledge and a way and means of finding peace arose within the heart. Then the man became an applicant for Godhood, and it is at this point that the training of the lifestream began. The intricacies of vibration are such that I could spend a full week in illustrating the tremendous impact of one individual on the universe, each organism within the body vibrating and emitting certain energy waves that contribute to the light or shadow of the planet. Thus, the body elemental alone affects the passion or the aspiration of every incarnate soul. Then the soul has a vibration which, when awakened, is a powerful force for good, for every seeker - no matter how confused the search - affects the mass-consciousness of all souls toward aspiration.
Then the mind tunes in and vibrates, according to its choice of material, affecting in turn all the mind-stuff in the universe, and so we could go on and on in amplification of the powers of vibration - unconscious vibration, that is. Now, we come to the opportunity of consciously directing into the universal light a vibration that would be of beneficent interest to the universe. The mind, the heart. the intelligence can be incorporated into this experiment. Visualize electronic light - unformed - with every electron receptive, obedient, alert, waiting for your message. Then set up a vibration consciously in your feelings. See the energy waves pass out from you in ever widening circles and the obedient electrons start into motion. Choose, if you will, a particular quality or a blessing that would benefit the race.
It is a beautiful pastime for spending an hour of relaxation and is a wonderful treatment for the body, the nervous system and the soul. First, one must experiment with the mind, the heart, the feelings, and later the ganglionic centers can be trained to send forth these vibrations even when the conscious mind is busy with other matters. The untrained people of the world so this unconsciously in the sending forth of Christmas and Easter blessings. Le me see now what my chelas will do consciously.
