Jesus. The Ascended Master Jesus Christ. The avatar of the Piscean age; the incarnation of the Word, the Universal Christ; the example of the Christ consciousness that was to have been outpictured by the children of God in the two-thousand-year dispensation of the Piscean age; one who realized the fullness of the Christ Self and was therefore called Jesus, the Christ. He came to reveal the individual Christ Self to all mankind and to show the works of the Father (the I AM Presence) that can be accomplished by his sons and daughters in and through the flame of the individual Christ Self. Jesus holds the office in hierarchy of World Teacher, which he shares with the Ascended Master Kuthumi, who was embodied as Saint Francis. Jesus' retreat is the Resurrection Temple, located in the etheric realm over the Holy Land. He also serves in the Arabian Retreat in the Arabian Desert northeast of the Red Sea. See also "Jesus Christ and Saint Germain: Wayshowers of the Aquarian Age," pp. 253-63 of this book.

Jophiel. See Archangel.

Karma. (Skt. karman, nominative karma, 'act', 'deed', 'work'.) Karma is energy/consciousness in action; the law of cause and effect and retribution. Also called the law of the circle, which decrees that whatever we do comes full circle to our doorstep for resolution. Paul said, "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Newton observed, "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." The law of karma necessitates the soul's reincarnation until all karmic cycles are balanced. Thus, from lifetime to lifetime man determines his fate by his actions, including his thoughts, feelings, words, and deeds. Saint Germain teaches the accelerated path of transmutation of karma by the violet flame of the Holy Spirit and the transcending of the rounds of rebirth through the path of individual Christhood leading to the ascension demonstrated by Jesus.

Karmic Lords. See Lords of Karma.

Keeper of the Scrolls. The angel in charge of the recording angels assigned to every lifestream. The Keeper of the Scrolls is the custodian of the archives containing every man's book of life. It is his responsibility to provide the Ascended Masters and the Karmic Board with the life record of any or all incarnations of an evolving soul about which they may inquire. This information is used not only in the soul's final judgment, but also for the purposes of counseling and assigning the soul her duties and mission from lifetime to lifetime. This life record is also used in granting dispensations (of mercy or talents), initiations, or appointment to an office in the ascended or unascended hierarchy of the Great White Brotherhood: "And at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the Book....And the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the Book of Life."
See Recording angel.(Dan. 12:1; Rev. 20:12.)

Keepers of the Flame Fraternity. Founded in 1961 by Saint Germain, an organization of Ascended Masters and their chelas who vow to keep the flame of Life on earth and support the activities of the Great White Brotherhood in the establishment of their Community and Mystery School and in the dissemination of their Teachings. Keepers of the Flame receive graded lessons in cosmic law dictated by the Ascended Masters to their Messengers Mark and Elizabeth Prophet.

Kuan Yin. The Ascended Lady Master. Known as the Goddess of Mercy for her ensoulment of the God flames of mercy and compassion, she keeps the flame of the Divine Mother on behalf of the people of China, Asia, and the world. As the representative of the Seventh Ray on the Karmic Board, she radiates the qualities of mercy, forgiveness, and compassion to the evolutions of earth from her etheric temple over Peking, China. Kuan Yin held the office of Chohan of the Seventh Ray for two thousand years until Saint Germain assumed that office in the late 1700s. In Chinese Buddhism Kuan Yin is the feminine form of the Indian and Tibetan Avalokitesvara, emanation of Amitabha Buddha. She has been identified with Tara, the White Goddess of Tibet. Kuan Yin ascended thousands of years ago. She has taken the vow of the Bodhisattva to serve planet earth until all children of the Light are free.

Kuthumi. The Ascended Master. Serves with Jesus in the office of World Teacher; formerly Chohan of the Second Ray; master psychologist; sponsor of youth; head of the Order of the Brothers and Sisters of the Golden Robe and of the etheric Temple of Illumination in Kashmir, also known as the Cathedral of Nature. The Master maintains a focus at Shigatse, Tibet, where he plays his grand organ-drawing the harmony of cosmos by the sacred fires of his heart. With this celestial music, he sends healing and peace throughout the planetary body to souls in transition (especially at the hour of death) and guides them to the etheric retreats of the Great White Brotherhood for tutoring in preparation for their next earthly life. He inspires architects, poets, and scientists with the mystical remembrance of their own soul's harmony in the celestial geometry and the rhythm of the stars. In his soul's evolution on the path of self-mastery, Kuthumi was embodied as:
Thutmose III, reigned c. 1503-1450 b.c., Egypt. Greatest of pharaohs; an adept ruler, military conqueror, and patron of the arts. He is considered the architect of the Egyptian empire.
Pythagoras, c. 582-c. 507 b.c., Greek philosopher and mathematician. Established the mystery school at Crotona, Italy, where he taught his community of initiates. His doctrines influenced many great philosophers.
Balthazar, first century, one of the three Magi (astronomer/adepts) who calculated the time and place of birth and journeyed from the East to pay homage to the Christ Child.
Saint Francis of Assisi, 1182-1226, Italy. Founder of the Franciscan order, the "divine poverello" who embraced "Lady Poverty," first saint known to have received the stigmata.
Shah Jahan, 1592-1666, India. Mogul emperor who brought India to a golden age of art and architecture, exemplified in the magnificent Taj Mahal, built at Agra, his capital, a shrine to his twin flame. Koot Hoomi Lal Singh, nineteenth-century Kashmiri Brahman, Shigatse, Tibet; also called K.H. In 1875 he founded with El Morya the Theosophical Society to reacquaint mankind with the ancient wisdom that underlies all the world's religions.

Lemuria. Mu, the lost continent of the Pacific, which, according to the findings of James Churchward, archaeologist and author of The Lost Continent of Mu, extended from north of Hawaii three thousand miles south to Easter Island and the Fijis and was made up of three areas of land stretching more than five thousand miles from east to west. Churchward's history of the ancient Motherland is based on records inscribed on sacred tablets he claims to have discovered in India. With the help of the high priest of an Indian temple, he deciphered the tablets. During fifty years of research he confirmed their contents in further writings, inscriptions, and legends he came upon in Southeast Asia, the Yucatan, Central America, the Pacific islands, Mexico, North America, ancient Egypt and other civilizations. He estimates that Mu was destroyed approximately twelve thousand years ago by the collapse of the gas chambers that upheld the continent.

Lifestream. The stream of life that comes forth from the one Source, from the I AM Presence in the planes of Spirit, and descends to the planes of Matter where it manifests as the threefold flame anchored in the heart chakra for the sustainment of the soul in Matter and the nourishment of the four lower bodies. Used to denote souls evolving as individual "lifestreams" and hence synonymous with the term "individual." Denotes the ongoing nature of the individual through its cycles of individualization.

Light. Spiritual light is the energy of God, the potential of the Christ. As the personification of Spirit, the term "Light" can be used synonymously with the terms "God" and "Christ." As the essence of Spirit it is synonymous with "sacred fire." It is the emanation of the Great Central Sun and the individualized I AM Presence-and the Source of all life. It is that which kindles the divine spark, for the true Light lights every manifestation of God who must descend into a darkened world. The Lightbearer is the dispeller of Darkness and the Light of his I AM Presence is from the realms of the Eternal Day.
(John 1:7-9.)

Return to Top

Lightbearer. Lightbearer means Christbearer, one who bears the Light which is Christ, one who bears the responsibility for Christhood in himself and others by defending the truth and honor of God; one who is anointed with the Christ consciousness and bears this enlightenment to all. The Lightbearer is the Keeper of the Flame whose motto must be "I AM my brother's keeper-I AM the keeper of the Light who is Christ in my brother."

Lord Maitreya. The Ascended Master. Together with Gautama, Maitreya followed the disciplines of the Buddha under Sanat Kumara. He holds the office of Cosmic Christ and Planetary Buddha, serving in hierarchy under Lord Gautama, directing the office of the World Teachers. He demonstrates on behalf of an evolving humanity the cosmic consciousness of the Christ in all areas of human endeavor and its universality throughout cosmos. He is known as the Great Initiator and was, in fact, the initiator of Jesus in his individualization of the Christ Flame in his final embodiment as world saviour and exemplar of the Way, the Truth, and the Life to all aspirants on the path of personal Christhood. Beloved Maitreya was the LORD God in Eden, Guru of twin flames. The long-awaited "Coming Buddha," he has indeed come to reopen his Mystery School to assist Saint Germain and Portia, twin flames of the Seventh Ray and hierarchs of Aquarius, to usher in the new age. On May 31, 1984, he dedicated the Heart of the Inner Retreat and the entire Royal Teton Ranch to the Path and Teaching of the Cosmic Christ in order that those who departed from his tutelage, going the way of Serpents (the fallen angels who led Eve astray), might be restored and the children of the Light follow the Son of God in the regeneration. As the sponsor of twin flames he is the friend of all initiates of the sacred fire. When called upon, he will give the illumination of the Christ and the strength of the Word to pass the initiations that come under his sponsorship. See also Mystery schools, Buddha.

Lord of the World. Gautama Buddha holds the office of Lord of the World (referred to as "God of the Earth" in Rev. 11:4), having recently succeeded Sanat Kumara, who had held the office for tens of thousands of years. His is the highest governing office of the spiritual hierarchy for the planet-and yet Lord Gautama is truly the most humble amongst the Ascended Masters. At inner levels, he sustains the threefold flame, the divine spark, for those lifestreams who have lost the direct contact with their I AM Presence and who have made so much negative karma as to be unable to magnetize sufficient Light from the Godhead to sustain their souls' physical incarnation on Earth. Through a filigree thread of light connecting his heart with the hearts of all God's children, Lord Gautama nourishes the flickering flame of Life that ought to burn upon the altar of each heart with a greater magnitude of love, wisdom, and power, fed by each one's own Christ consciousness.

Gautama Buddha received the mantle of Lord of the World on January 1, 1956, from Sanat Kumara, hierarch of the planet Venus, who had held the position of Lord of the World since the darkest hours of Earth's history. Known as the Ancient of Days, Sanat Kumara volunteered to come to Earth thousands of years ago, when cosmic councils had decreed the dissolution of the planet. So great was mankind's departure from cosmic law, that the Solar Lords had determined that no further opportunity should be granted humanity, who had willfully ignored and forgotten the God Flame within their hearts. The requirement of the Law for the saving of Terra was that one who qualified as the embodied 'Lamb' be present in the physical octave to hold the balance and keep the threefold flame of Life for and on behalf of every living soul. Sanat Kumara offered to be that one.
In his April 8, 1979, Pearl of Wisdom, Sanat Kumara told the story of how Venusian devotees volunteered to accompany him and embody among mankind to assist in keeping the flame: "The joy of opportunity was mingled with the sorrow that the sense of separation brings. I had chosen a voluntary exile upon a dark star. And though it was destined to be Freedom's Star, all knew it would be for me a long dark night of the soul. Then all at once from the valleys and the mountains there appeared a great gathering of my children. It was the souls of the hundred and forty and four thousand approaching our palace of light. They spiraled nearer and nearer as twelve companies singing the song of freedom, of love, and of victory....As we watched from the balcony, Venus and I, we saw the thirteenth company robed in white. It was the royal priesthood of the Order of Melchizedek....When all of their numbers had assembled, ring upon ring upon ring surrounding our home, and their hymn of praise and adoration to me was concluded, their spokesman stood before the balcony to address us on behalf of the great multitude. It was the soul of the one you know and love today as the Lord of the World, Gautama Buddha. And he addressed us, saying, 'O Ancient of Days, we have heard of the covenant which God hath made with thee this day and of thy commitment to keep the flame of Life until some among Earth's evolutions should be quickened and once again renew their vow to be bearers of the flame. O Ancient of Days, thou art to us our Guru, our very life, our God. We will not leave thee comfortless. We will go with thee.'"

Thus, they came to Earth with Sanat Kumara and legions of angels, preceded by another retinue of Lightbearers who prepared the way and established the retreat of Shamballa-the City of White-on an island in the Gobi Sea (now the Gobi Desert). There Sanat Kumara anchored the focus of the threefold flame, establishing the initial thread of contact with all on Earth by extending rays of light from his heart to their own. And there the volunteers from Venus embodied in dense veils of flesh to see Earth's evolutions through unto the victory of their vow. The first from among these unascended Lightbearers to respond to the call of the Lord of the World from the physical octave was, understandably, Gautama and close with him was Maitreya. Both pursued the path of the Bodhisattva unto Buddhahood, Gautama finishing the course 'first' and Maitreya 'second'. Thus the two became Sanat Kumara's foremost disciples, the one ultimately succeeding him in the office of Lord of the World, the other as Cosmic Christ and Planetary Buddha.

At the moment of the transfer of the mantle of Lord of the World on January 1, 1956, Gautama Buddha assumed the responsibility for sustaining the lifeline to Earth's evolutions through his own heart flame, and Sanat Kumara, as Regent Lord of the World, returned to his home star, Venus, where he maintains an intense activity of involvement with the Great White Brotherhood's service on planet Earth. Gautama's former office of Cosmic Christ and Planetary Buddha was simultaneously filled by Lord Maitreya. In the same ceremony, which took place at the Royal Teton Retreat, the office of World Teacher, formerly held by Maitreya, was passed to Lord Jesus and his dear friend and disciple Saint Francis (Kuthumi). Lord Lanto took the chohanship of the Second Ray July 1958, which had been held by Kuthumi, and beloved Nada assumed the office of chohan of the Sixth Ray, which had been held by Jesus during the Piscean age of which he was also the hierarch. Saint Germain with Portia assumed the rulership of Aquarius on May 1, 1954. While Maitreya represents the Cosmic Christ and Planetary Buddha, Jesus holds the office of the personal Christ as the great exemplar of each one's own Holy Christ Self.

Lord Gautama presides as Hierarch of Shamballa, now on the etheric plane, to which the physical retreat has been withdrawn. Throughout the ages, the Messengers of the Brotherhood, known and unknown, have held the balance in the physical octave for the flame and the Buddha of Shamballa. Thus Jesus, as the anointed Messenger of Lord Maitreya, the Cosmic Christ, was the open door through his Sacred Heart for the light of the Father represented in the persons of Maitreya, Gautama, and Sanat Kumara to be anchored in the hearts of the multitudes of Earth's people. The Lord Jesus Christ defined his office in the physical octave according to cosmic law when he said: "As long as I AM in the world, the I AM that I AM, the Word which I incarnate, is the Light of the world." It was this anchoring of the Light of the I AM Presence in his heart chakra that enabled Jesus to take upon himself planetary karma, "the sins of the world," in order that souls of Light might follow him on the path of Christhood until they, too, should bear in their body temples the Light of the Son of God.

Lords of Karma. The ascended beings who comprise the Karmic Board. Their names and the rays that they represent on the board are as follows: First Ray, the Great Divine Director; Second Ray, the Goddess of Liberty; Third Ray, the Ascended Lady Master Nada; Fourth Ray, the Elohim Cyclopea; Fifth Ray, Pallas Athena, Goddess of Truth; Sixth Ray, Portia, the Goddess of Justice; Seventh Ray, Kuan Yin, Goddess of Mercy. The Lords of Karma dispense justice to this system of worlds, adjudicating karma, mercy, and judgment on behalf of every lifestream. All souls must pass before the Karmic Board before and after each incarnation on earth, receiving their assignment and karmic allotment for each lifetime beforehand and the review of their performance at its conclusion. Through the Keeper of the Scrolls and the recording angels, the Lords of Karma have access to the complete records of every lifestream's incarnations on earth. They determine who shall embody, as well as when and where. They assign souls to families and communities, measuring out the weights of karma that must be balanced as the "jot and tittle" of the law. The Karmic Board, acting in consonance with the individual I AM Presence and Christ Self, determines when the soul has earned the right to be free from the wheel of karma and the round of rebirth. The Lords of Karma meet at the Royal Teton Retreat twice yearly, at winter and summer solstice, to review petitions from unascended mankind and to grant dispensations for their assistance.

Lords of the Seven Rays. See Chohan.

Lucifer. (From the Lat., meaning "light-bearer.") One who attained to the rank of Archangel and fell from grace through pride, ambition, and the desire to be above the Stars of God (Sons of God and Elohim), above the Shekinah glory to rival the Most High. "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!..." Archetype of the planetary dweller-on-the-threshold. Antichrist. The angels who followed this archdeceiver, named by Jesus "the father of lies" and "a murderer from the beginning," are the fallen ones, also called Luciferians, Satanists or sons of Belial (after their various lieutenants). More than disobedient, these rebels against First Cause were blasphemous and contemptuous of the Father and his children amongst whom they embodied (see the parable of the tares among the wheat, Matt. 13), having been brought low-to the lowly estate of physical incarnation-by the LORD's hosts. Lucifer was bound "on earth" by Michael the Archangel on April 16, 1975 (even as he and his angels had been bound "in heaven" by the same Defender of the Faith and his angels) and taken to the Court of the Sacred Fire on Sirius where he stood trial before the Four and Twenty Elders and the four 'beasts' in the final judgment at the great white throne. He went through the second death on April 26, 1975. Many who followed the Fallen One in the Great Rebellion against the Son of God have also been brought to trial. His seed, still "wroth with the Woman" and her Manchild, are making war with the heirs of Sanat Kumara's Light on planet earth. Daily they are being bound by Archangel Michael and the LORD's hosts and remanded to stand trial in the final judgment as one by one their time is up-and they are being judged: "every man according to their works," as Jesus' angel showed it in a vision of the last days of the Piscean age to John the Revelator. See also Angel, Satan.
(Read Isa. 14:12-17 for the scriptural account of Lucifer's declaration of war against Almighty God and his Christ; John 8:44; Matt. 13:24-30, 36-43; Rev. 12; 19:4; 20:11-15.

Luciferian. See Lucifer.

Macrocosm. (From the Gk., meaning "great world.") The larger cosmos; the entire warp and woof of creation, which we call the Cosmic Egg. Also used to contrast man as the microcosm, "the little world," against the backdrop of the larger world in which he lives. See also Microcosm.
Maha Chohan. "Great Lord" of the seven rays. The representative of the Holy Spirit to a planet and its evolutions. One who embodies the Trinity and the Mother Flame of the seven rays and chakras and is qualified to be Chohan, "Lord," of each or all of the seven rays. Hence he is called the Maha Chohan, the Great Lord, as he presides over the Seven Chohans who embody the Law, the Word, and the Christ consciousness of their respective rays. The Ascended Master who currently holds the office of Maha Chohan over the Seven Lords (Chohans) of the rays was embodied as the poet Homer. In his final incarnation as a shepherd on the hillsides of India, the Light (Christ consciousness) that he drew forth was a mantle of comfort to millions. The Maha Chohan maintains an etheric retreat with a physical focus on the island of Sri Lanka (Ceylon) where the flame of the Holy Spirit is anchored. See also Chohan.

Manu. Sanskrit for the progenitor and lawgiver of the evolutions of God on earth. The Manu and his divine complement are ascended twin flames assigned by the Father-Mother God to sponsor and ensoul the Christic image for a certain evolution or lifewave that is known as a root race-souls who embody as a group and have a unique archetypal pattern, divine plan, and mission to fulfill on earth. According to esoteric tradition, there are seven primary aggregations of souls, i.e., the first to the seventh root races. The first three root races lived in purity and innocence upon earth in three golden ages before the Fall of Adam and Eve. Through obedience to cosmic law and total identification with the Real Self, these three root races won their immortal freedom and ascended from earth. It was during the time of the fourth root race, on the continent of Lemuria, that the allegorical Fall took place under the influence of the fallen angels known as Serpents (because they used the serpentine spinal energies to beguile the soul, or female principle in mankind, as a means to their end of lowering the masculine potential, thereby emasculating the Sons of God). The fourth, fifth, and sixth root races (the latter soul group not having entirely descended into physical incarnation) remain in embodiment on earth today. The seventh root race is destined to incarnate on the continent of South America in the Aquarian age under their Manus, the Great Divine Director and his divine complement. The God and Goddess Meru are the Manus for the sixth root race, Vaivasvata Manu with his consort is the Manu of the fifth root race, and Lord Himalaya with his Beloved is the Manu for the fourth. The Manus are beloved God-parents who respond instantaneously to the call of their children with the comforting presence of their Light endued with such great Power/Wisdom/Love as to quiver the ethers and make each little one feel at Home in the arms of God even in the darkest hour.
Mary. See Mother Mary.

Mass consciousness. The collective consciousness of humanity; the collective unconscious of the race; the lowest common denominator of mankind's collective awareness vibrating at the level of the astral plane. The mass mind is the collective, computerized, programmed mind of humanity.

Mater. (Lat. for "mother.") Mater is the mater-ialization of the God Flame, the means whereby Spirit acquires, 'physically', fourfold dimension and form through the feminine, or negative, polarity of the Godhead. The term used interchangeably with "Matter" to describe the planes of being that conform to and comprise the universal chalice, or matrix, for the descent of that Light of God which is perceived as Mother. It is through this Mother aspect of himself that the Spirit of God, the Father, evolves the consciousness of the Christ, the only begotten Son of God, in his children as a developing Christ-Self awareness through the threefold flame-divine spark and signet of their joint-heirship to be. The soul that descends from the plane of Spirit abides in time and space in Mater for the purpose of its spiritual/physical evolution that necessitates self-mastery of the energies of God through the judicious exercise of free will. The four lower bodies of man, of a planet, and of systems of worlds-as the four planes, quadrants and cosmic forces-occupy and make up the frequencies of Matter. See also Spirit.

Matter. See Mater.
Mental body. One of the four lower bodies of man, corresponding to the air element and the second quadrant of Matter; the body that is intended to be the vehicle, or vessel, for the Mind of God or the Christ Mind. "Let this [Universal] Mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus." Until quickened, this body remains the vehicle for the carnal mind, often called the lower mental body in contrast to the Higher Mental Body, a synonym for the Christ Self or Christ consciousness.(Phil. 2:5.)

One of the four lower bodies of man, corresponding to the air element and the second quadrant of Matter; the body that is intended to be the vehicle, or vessel, for the Mind of God or the Christ Mind. "Let this [Universal] Mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus." Until quickened, this body remains the vehicle for the carnal mind, often called the lower mental body in contrast to the Higher Mental Body, a synonym for the Christ Self or Christ consciousness.
(Phil. 2:5.)

Messenger. Evangelist. One who goes before the angels bearing to the people of earth the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ and, at the appointed time, the Everlasting Gospel. The Messengers of the Great White Brotherhood are anointed by the hierarchy as their apostles ("one sent on a mission"). They deliver through the dictations (prophecies) of the Ascended Masters the testimony and lost teachings of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit to the seed of Christ, the lost sheep of the house of Israel, and to every nation. A Messenger is one who is trained by an Ascended Master to receive by various methods the words, concepts, teachings, and messages of the Great White Brotherhood; one who delivers the law, the prophecies, and the dispensations of God for a people and an age.
(Rev. 14:6; Matt. 10:6; 15:24. El Morya, The Chela and the Path, pp. 115-22. Jesus and Kuthumi, Prayer and Meditation, pp. 246-53. Elizabeth Clare Prophet, The Astrology of the Four Horsemen, pp. 52-53, 58-61.)

Michael, Archangel. Archangel of the First Ray, Prince of the Archangels, the first among equals unto whom all other Archangels and their legions defer. Known as the Defender of the Faith, Champion of the Woman and Her Seed, and Leader in the Battle of Armageddon who stands as the defender of the Christ consciousness in all children of God. His name means "who is as God." His intercession on behalf of God's people in this age is prophesied in Daniel 12:1: "And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book."

Archangel Michael is the Angel of the LORD who comes to quicken the elect of God with the lost teachings of Jesus Christ and to deliver the true and righteous judgments of God upon the seed of the Wicked One. This deliverer sent to us by the LORD has figured as the greatest and most revered of angels in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic scripture and tradition. In the Old Testament he appears as the guardian of Israel and is identified in Jewish mystical literature as the angel who wrestled with Jacob, guided Israel through the wilderness, destroyed the army of Sennacherib, and saved the three Hebrew boys from Nebuchadnezzar's fiery furnace. Standing mighty in the LORD's presence, sword drawn, Archangel Michael appeared to Joshua as he prepared to lead the Israelites into battle at Jericho, revealing himself as Captain of the Host of the LORD-impartial defender of all who espouse Truth and Righteousness.
(Josh. 5:13-15.)

It is recorded in Jewish legend that "the fire that Moses saw in the bush was the appearance of Michael, who had descended as the forerunner of the Shekinah." Indeed, wherever the term "Angel of the LORD" is given in scripture it is a reference to this messenger of God-the divine figure of His appearing. The Book of Enoch describes Archangel Michael as "the merciful, the patient," "one of the holy angels, who, presiding over human virtue, commands the nations." In The War of the Sons of Light and the Sons of Darkness, one of the Dead Sea Scrolls, Michael is the "mighty, ministering angel" through whom God promises to "send perpetual help" to the sons of Light. Called Mika'il in Muslim lore, he is the angel of nature, providing both food and knowledge to man.

Saint Michael, venerated by Catholics as patron and protector of the Church, was also the heavenly physician revered in the early Christian community for the miraculous cures wrought by his intercession. Moreover, the beloved Archangel was among the three heavenly visitors who revealed to the young peasant girl Joan of Arc her mission to deliver France. Revelation 12 tells of Archangel Michael's key role as the defender of the Woman clothed with the Sun as he casts the adversary of her Manchild out of the courts of heaven: "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven." In Revelation 16:1, he is the first of the seven angels to "pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth"-marking the descending woes of mankind's karma returning to their doorstep their misuses of God's Light.

As the Archangel of the First Ray, Archangel Michael embodies God's consciousness of faith, protection, perfection, and the will of God. From his retreat on the etheric plane at Banff in Alberta, Canada, he goes forth into all the world with his legions of blue-lightning angels to protect the children of the Light and preserve freedom on earth. With his hosts he descends into the pits of Death and Hell to bind the adversaries of the Christ consciousness, remanding them to the Court of the Sacred Fire for their final judgment. He sweeps through the astral plane, binding demons and discarnates that prey upon unsuspecting souls, rendering incomparable assistance to those beset by the dark forces. His keynote is "The Navy Hymn," "Eternal Father, Strong to Save." The keynote of his retreat is "The Soldiers' Chorus" from Faust, by Charles Gounod. The name of his feminine complement is Faith.

At this end of the Piscean age, with two thousand years and more of unbalanced karma falling due paralleled by a period of accelerated initiation-when the Lightbearers are facing greater challenges on the path of personal Christhood in order to enter the Aquarian age-the Father has accorded the Lightbearers unprecedented opportunity to invoke the comforting presence and intercession of this Angel of the LORD. As they offer prayers, invocations, hymns and dynamic decrees in the science of the spoken Word-such as those included in Archangel Michael's Rosary for Armageddon released through the Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet-the armor and shield of Archangel Michael is immediately theirs. Responding to the needs of mankind, they give the impelling call for the saving of the nations in this cycle marking the return of personal and planetary karma delivered by the Four Horsemen. Surely, in the midst of this time of troubles the Lightbearers are daily proving the law: "The Call compels the answer." If you are in trouble, shout unto the Angel of the LORD this dynamic decree until he responds: "Lord Michael before! Lord Michael behind! Lord Michael to the right! Lord Michael to the left! Lord Michael above! Lord Michael below! Lord Michael, Lord Michael wherever I go! I AM his Love protecting here! I AM his Love protecting here! I AM his Love protecting here!" See also Archangel.

Microcosm. (From the Gk., meaning "small world.") (1) The world of the individual, his four lower bodies, his aura, and the forcefield of his karma. (2) The planet. See also Macrocosm.

Misqualification (of energy). The "mist" qualification of fallen man and woman; the spawning of evil, or the energy veil, through the misuse of free will by souls evolving in time and space. The misapplication of God's energy. The negative qualification of God's consciousness and life-force to multiply darkness, doubt, disease, degeneracy, and death instead of Light, Love, Divine Wholeness, Peace, and Freedom. The misqualified energies that burden the aura and electronic belt of the people and their planet are the direct result of this perversion of alchemy, the all-chemistry of God, the science of creation that the Father and Son invite us to "TRY" as co-creators with the Great Alchemist himself.

Monad. See Divine Monad, Human monad.

Morya. See El Morya.

Mother. "Divine Mother," "Universal Mother," and "Cosmic Virgin" are alternate terms for the feminine polarity of the Godhead, the manifestation of God as Mother. Matter is the feminine polarity of Spirit, and the term is used interchangeably with Mater (Lat. meaning "mother"). In this context, the entire material cosmos becomes the womb of creation into which Spirit projects the energies of Life. Matter, then, is the womb of the Cosmic Virgin, who, as the other half of the Divine Whole, also exists in Spirit as the spiritual polarity of God.

Jesus himself recognized Alpha and Omega as the highest representatives of the Father-Mother God and often referred to Alpha as Father and to Omega as Mother. Those who assume the feminine polarity of consciousness after the ascension are known as Ascended Lady Masters. Together with all feminine (femininely polarized) beings in the octaves of light, they focus the flame of the Divine Mother on behalf of the evolutions of mankind evolving in many systems of worlds. However, being androgynous, all of the heavenly host focus any of the masculine or feminine attributes of the Godhead at will, for they have entered the spheres of the Divine Wholeness. See also Mother of the Flame.

Mother Mary. Archeia of the Fifth Ray, divine complement of Archangel Raphael, Queen of Angels, and the Blessed Mother of Jesus Christ. Her name means Mother Ray (Ma ray). Called by the Father to embody on earth to give birth to the Christ who would save those souls that had been led astray by Luciferian rebels, Mary is one of the LORD's hosts who throughout her incarnations on earth has ardently exemplified the Motherhood of God. From the earliest days of Atlantis she prepared for her final embodiment, when she would nurture in the Bethlehem babe the 'son' (soul) of David, born again to be the Saviour (avatar) of the Piscean age. Mary served as a priestess on Atlantis in the Temple of Truth, teaching and studying the healing arts and directing, through her Immaculate Heart, the light of the ineffable Word to the teeming millions of that continent. She was also the mother of David, king of Israel. It was her masterful development on Atlantis of the science of the immaculate concept, which she had practiced in heaven, that enabled her to be the LORD's handmaid, preparing her four lower bodies for the incarnation of the Word in Christ Jesus, her son. At the conclusion of that blessed life, her divine plan fulfilled, Mary ascended to the heart of the Father. Today she serves humanity and the 'living Church' from inner levels, very close at hand with the hierarchies of angels and Ascended Masters who comprise the Great White Brotherhood. Mother Mary's intercession is immediate through the giving of her New Age Rosary, which she dictated to the Messenger in 1972.

Mother of the Flame. World Mother. An office of hierarchy held successively by those unascended feminine devotees appointed by the Great White Brotherhood to nourish, or mother, the flame of Life in all mankind. In 1961 Clara Louise Kieninger was named the first Mother of the Flame of the Keepers of the Flame Fraternity by Saint Germain. On April 9, 1966, that mantle was transferred to the Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet. At that time Clara Louise Kieninger became the Regent Mother of the Flame. She made her ascension on October 25, 1970, in Berkeley, Calif., and continues to hold that office from the ascended level. See also Mother.

Mystery schools. Since the expulsion of man and woman from the Garden of Eden (the Mystery School of Lord Maitreya, symbolizing the pure consciousness of God: E-Don, meaning divine wisdom, or Elohim Dominion) because of the misuse of the sacred fire in the incorrect application of free will, the Great White Brotherhood has maintained mystery schools, or retreats. These have served as repositories for the knowledge of the sacred fire that is vouchsafed to twin flames when they have demonstrated the discipline necessary to keep the way of the Tree of Life. After the Fall (the willful descent into lower planes of consciousness), the Great White Brotherhood sponsored mystery schools on Lemuria and Atlantis, where the higher spiritual truths were taught to those who were willing to keep the disciplines of the adepts. The Sangha of the Buddha, the Essene community at Qumran, and Pythagoras' school at Crotona were among the more recent mystery schools. Other schools were located in the Himalayas, the Far East and Egypt, as well as in Europe and South America. One by one, these mystery schools were destroyed or disbanded.

Wherever these schools have been destroyed, the Ascended Masters who sponsored them withdrew their flames and sacred shrines to their retreats on the etheric plane. Here their disciples are trained between embodiments and in their finer bodies (during sleep or samadhi) in order that they might attain that Divine Self-knowledge which, until Saint Germain once again advanced it in this century, has not been available to mankind en masse in the physical plane for centuries. In 1984, Lord Maitreya reestablished his mystery school at the Royal Teton Ranch in southwestern Montana.
