Goal-fitting. A term used by El Morya, Chohan of the First Ray, to describe the fitting of the evolving soul consciousness for the goal of reunion with God; a process of discipline and initiation through service and application of the sacred fire that souls preparing for the ascension undergo under the loving direction of the Ascended Masters.
(See The Chela and the Path for the Master's fundamentals on goal-fittedness for meeting the challenges of the twentieth century.)

God consciousness. The consciousness, or awareness, of one's true self as the manifestation of God; the awareness of the I AM THAT I AM, or the I AM Presence, in and through and beyond oneself in universal manifestation; the ability to maintain this conscious God Self-awareness-omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent-wherever oneself, as Being, is and declares in the fullness of the Light, "Lo, because Thou art, I AM." The state of God Self-mastery whereby one maintains this vibration in Divine Wholeness of the Alpha-Omega principle in the planes of Spirit-Matter. The plane of God's consciousness is the kingdom of God. And all who dwell therein (beyond the earth/heaven realms) are truly extensions of God's own consciousness-only his in the highest expression of Love. See also Cosmic consciousness.
(Ps. 82:6; John 10:34.)

Goddess of Justice. See Portia.

Goddess of Liberty. The Ascended Lady Master who holds the God consciousness of liberty for the earth. While embodied on Atlantis, she erected the Temple of the Sun where Manhattan Island now is. With the sinking of Atlantis the physical temple was destroyed, but the etheric counterpart remains on the etheric plane, where she continues to focus the flame of liberty on the central altar, which is surrounded by twelve shrines dedicated to the twelve hierarchies of the Sun. The Goddess of Liberty (so named for her complete and wholehearted identification with God's flame of liberty, her God consciousness of liberty) is the Spokesman for the Karmic Board and represents the Second Ray on that board. Her statue on Liberty Island (formerly Bedloe's Island) in New York Harbor portrays the figure of Longfellow's "Lady with a Lamp," whom he prophesied "shall stand in the great history of the land, a noble type of good, heroic womanhood." She is the archetype of the Woman clothed with the Sun and the new-age woman-inspiring the nations to illumined action by the torch of illumination and the Book of the Law. (See Mark L. Prophet and Elizabeth Clare Prophet, The Lost Teachings of Jesus II, softbound, pp. 181, 251-52, 332, 487; or pocketbooks, Book Three, pp. 144-45, 231-33; Book Four, pp. 46, 237-38.)

Goddess of Mercy. See Kuan Yin.

God Flame. The flame of God; the sacred fire; the identity, being, and consciousness of God in and as the white fire core of being. Moses declared, "For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire." Wherever the flame of God is or is invoked by his offspring, the sacred fire descends to consume (transmute by its white fire and Seventh Ray action, the violet flame) all unlike itself. From the sacred fire of Ahura Mazda revealed by Zarathustra, to Jesus' baptism by the Holy Ghost "with fire," to the apostle's perception of the trial by fire, to the eternal flame of the sevenfold lights of the Hebrews, all children of the One who would return to the flame have revered God's flaming Presence and beheld him in the very midst of the Shekinah glory. And in their hearts they accept the reality of his promise unto the soul, the waiting Bride, "For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her."
(Deut. 4:24; Matt. 3:11, 12; I Cor. 3:13-15; I Pet. 1:7; Exod. 25:31-40; 37:17-24; Zech. 2:5.)

Godfré Ray King. See Ballard, Guy W.

God Presence. See I AM Presence.

God Self. See I AM Presence.

Golden age. A cycle of enlightenment, peace, and harmony wherein the souls of mankind merge in the Christ Flame for the fulfillment of the divine plan "as Above, so below." Through the convergence of the etheric plane and sheath with the three lower vehicles of the earth body and her evolutions, the heavenly kingdom will come into manifestation on earth as it is even now in the etheric octave. See also Etheric body.
(See Elizabeth Clare Prophet, "The Golden Age of Jesus Christ on Atlantis," 2 videocassettes; 2 audiocassettes.)

Great Central Sun. See Central sun.

Great Divine Director. The Ascended Master whose attainment of cosmic consciousness qualifies him to ensoul the flame of divine direction on behalf of earth's evolutions and untold lifewaves beyond. Founder of the House of Rakoczy, Teacher of Saint Germain, sponsor and Manu of the incoming seventh root race, this Cosmic Being maintains a focus in the Cave of Light in India and in his retreat in Transylvania, the focus of freedom for Europe. The Great Divine Director represents the First Ray on the Karmic Board. He is also known as the Master R. (See the Great Divine Director, "The Mechanization Concept," in Pearls of Wisdom, 1965, vol. 8, nos. 3-26, also published as The Soulless One: Cloning a Counterfeit Creation.)

Great Hub. See Central sun.

Great White Brotherhood. A spiritual order of Western saints and Eastern adepts who have reunited with the Spirit of the living God and who comprise the heavenly hosts. They have transcended the cycles of karma and rebirth and ascended (accelerated) into that higher reality which is the eternal abode of the soul. The Ascended Masters of the Great White Brotherhood, united for the highest purposes of the brotherhood of man under the Fatherhood of God, have risen in every age from every culture and religion to inspire creative achievement in education, the arts and sciences, God-government and the abundant Life through the economies of the nations. The word "white" refers not to race but to the aura (halo) of white light surrounding their forms. The Brotherhood also includes in its ranks certain unascended chelas of the Ascended Masters. Jesus Christ revealed this heavenly order of saints "robed in white" to his servant John in Revelation. See also Cosmic hierarchy.
(Rev. 3:4, 5; 6:9-11; 7:9, 13, 14; 19:14. See Elizabeth Clare Prophet, The Great White Brotherhood in the Culture, History and Religion of America.)

Hierarchy. See Cosmic hierarchy.

Higher Self. The I AM Presence; the Christ Self; the exalted aspect of selfhood. Used in contrast to the term "lower self," or "little self," which indicates the soul that went forth from and may elect by free will to return to the Divine Whole through the realization of the oneness of the self in God. Higher consciousness.

Holy Amethyst. See Zadkiel, Archangel.

Holy Christ Self. See Christ Self.

Holy Spirit. Third Person of the Trinity; the omnipresence of God; the cloven tongues of fire that focus the Father-Mother God, also called the sacred fire; the energies of Life that infuse a cosmos. In the Hindu Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, the Holy Spirit corresponds to Shiva, known as the Destroyer/Deliverer because his all-consuming Love, when invoked in the planes of Matter, binds the forces of evil and transmutes the cause and effect of man's miscreations, thus delivering him from the prison house of karma and its dark denizens. Prana is the essence of the Holy Spirit that we take in by the sacred fire breath through the chakras to nourish the four lower bodies. The Holy Spirit focuses the balance of the Father-Mother God in the white fire core of being. The exorcism of foul spirits and unclean entities is accomplished by the sacred fire of the Holy Spirit in the name of Christ and the I AM THAT I AM. The nine gifts of the Spirit are powers conveyed to the Lord's servants to bind death and hell and work his works on earth.

The Person and the Flame of the Holy Spirit is the Comforter whom Jesus promised would come when our Lord took his leave-to enlighten us, to teach us, and to bring all things to our remembrance that beloved Jesus has taught us, both in heaven and on earth. Each time a son or daughter of God ascends into the Presence of the I AM THAT I AM, the Holy Spirit descends to fill the void and to magnify the Lord's Presence on earth. This is the ritual of the descent of the Holy Ghost promised by Jesus to his disciples when the Master said, "Tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high," which took place on Pentecost.

The representative of the flame of the Holy Spirit to earth's evolutions is the Ascended Master who occupies the office of Maha Chohan. The Holy Spirit is the Personal Impersonality (see pp. 74-75) of the Godhead and is positioned on the west side of the City Foursquare. See also Chart of Your Divine Self.
(I Cor. 12:4-11; John 14:16, 26; 16:7; Luke 24:49, 51; Mark 16:19; Acts 2:1-4. See Mark L. Prophet and Elizabeth Clare Prophet, Climb the Highest Mountain, 2d ed., pp. 386-88, 408-44, 555-62; The Lost Teachings of Jesus II, softbound, pp. 158-63; or pocketbook, Book Three, pp. 116-22; Lords of the Seven Rays, Book One, pp. 15-20; Book Two, pp. 277-97.)

Human consciousness. That consciousness which is aware of the self as human-limited, mortal, fallen, sinful, subject to error and the passions of the senses-and therefore declares with the Son of man: "I of mine own (human) self can do nothing. It is the Father (the I AM Presence) in me that doeth the Work of the LORD."
(John 5:30; 14:10.)

Return to Top

Human ego. That point of the personality which embraces the human consciousness and all that it stands for as true selfhood; the anti-self, the synthetic image. Nevertheless, the positive ego, successful and having a healthy self-image, is the very vital ingredient that enables the human to fearlessly reach for the Divine Ego, step by step letting go of itself, forsaking the past until that human mask is no longer a vice or device. And pure joy as radiant being becomes one's new definition of selfhood and perspective on Reality. It is proverbial that a healthy ego is essential to a healthy surrender unto God-the true and only Ego of us all.

Return to Top

Human monad. The entire forcefield of self, the interconnecting spheres of influences-hereditary, environmental, karmic-which make up that self-awareness which identifies itself as human. The reference point of lesser-or non-awareness out of which all mankind must evolve to the realization of the Real Self as the Christ Self.

Return to Top

I AM Presence. The I AM THAT I AM; the individualized Presence of God focused for each individual soul. The God-identity of the individual; the Divine Monad; the individual Source. The origin of the soul focused in the planes of Spirit just above the physical form; the personification of the God Flame for the individual. See also Chart of Your Divine Self.(Exod. 3:13-15.)

Immaculate concept. The pure concept or image of the soul held in the Mind of God; any pure thought held by one part of life for and on behalf of another part of life. The essential ingredient to every alchemical experiment without which it will not succeed. The ability to hold the image of the perfect pattern to be precipitated, to see the vision of a project complete, to draw a mental picture, to retain it and to fill it in with light and love and joy-these are keys to the science of the immaculate concept taught by Mother Mary as well as the Master Alchemist. The exercise of the inner sight through the third eye is a process of purification whereby, as Jesus said, "If thine eye be single-and singly, one-pointedly focused upon the Beloved God-thy whole body shall be full of Light"-i.e., of Christ's illumining Presence.

"God is the supreme practitioner of the science of the immaculate concept. No matter how far man might wander from his individuality, God ever beholds man in the image of Reality in which He created him....This science of the immaculate concept is practiced by every angel in heaven. It is that law which is written in the inward parts of man, known by his very heart of hearts, yet dim in the memory of his outer mind. It is based on the visualization of a perfect idea which then becomes a magnet that attracts the creative energies of the Holy Spirit to his being to fulfill the pattern held in mind."
(Matt. 6:22; Jer. 31:33; Heb. 8:10. See Mark L. Prophet and Elizabeth Clare Prophet, Climb the Highest Mountain, 2d ed., pp. 48-50, 155.)
