Choosing an Ascended
Master Sponsor
A divine seed-potential is locked
within each of us. It unfolds and grows as we make the choices through
our free will personality that allow our soul to draw closer to our
Divine Self. Step by step, we become adepts. We assimilate the consciousness
of Christ and we become masters of time and space. When we have fulfilled
all of our spiritual work and balanced our karma, we ascend home to
the original state of divine oneness that our souls knew before our
descent into matter, free at last from the rounds of rebirth.
Many beings have walked this path before us. They are our brothers
and sisters of light who have ascended into the heavens, into higher
realms of consciousness and service. These ascended masters point
the way home. They tutor our souls in the etheric
retreats of the heaven world and we develop a daily communion
with their presence. They are as close to us as our very breath. It
is only a matter of attuning our consciousness.
The ascended masters are as innumerable as the stars. Those who specifically
serve souls on Earth have given us their names so that we may call
upon them. When we do so, they are able to intercede in our lives
to help us resolve challenges and put on more of our Christ consciousness
so that we can become candidates for the ascension.
The ascended masters understand our concerns in the most personal
and intimate way. They do not judge us, but seek to assist us in coming
up higher and conquering our lesser self. Each master has developed,
so to speak, a “specialty” and can be called upon to lend
us his or her momentum in a particular area.
The masters are also greatly concerned with the state of the world.
They pull together to assist us in fending off dire circumstances
that could come to pass on a regional or planetary scale, to mitigate
planetary karma whenever possible and to find solutions to ongoing
challenges.
One of the most rapid ways to advance on the spiritual path is to
meditate on the picture of an ascended master that we choose as our
Sponsoring Master. This could be Jesus, Mother Mary, Kuthumi (the
ascended Saint Francis), El Morya, Saint Germain, Gautama Buddha,
Maitreya or another master we feel close to. (To find out more about
the masters, please visit
www.ascendedmasterindex.com)
We choose a Sponsoring Master by studying his teachings, his service
to life and his incarnations on earth. The ascended master Kuthumi
explained to students of Theosophy that to earn sponsorship by a master,
we commune with the master each day and do good works in that master's
name. We can read more about this in the book, K.H. Letters to
C.W. Leadbeater.
Having a Sponsoring Master helps us balance our karma more quickly.
Kuthumi explained that the master takes on between 88 and 92 percent
of our personal karma and then gives us world karma to carry in his
name through world service. World karma is easier to balance than
personal karma because it is less personal to us. With the help of
our master, the sooner we balance our personal karma, the sooner we
can pursue our dharma, our life mission.
When we look at a portrait of
the master, we see our own Christ self personified through the master.
That picture of the master becomes a teraphim, a transport vehicle
to higher consciousness. Through his or her portrait, the master helps
us to connect to our own Holy Christ Self in a very personal way.
The master’s heart becomes a transformer of consciousness, a
divine mediator for us, and we feel that “rapprochement”
with God.
When we gaze into the eyes of the master, we notice that the eyes
will change with the rhythm of our heartbeat. This is the alchemy
of the figure-eight flow whereby we exchange spirals of identity with
the master. It is a threefold process of concentration, meditation
and contemplation.
Concentrating on the master’s portrait activates the blue plume
of divine power that abides in the threefold
flame in the heart. Meditating on the master’s portrait
helps us to activate the yellow plume of divine wisdom in our heart
and to receive ideations from the master’s consciousness as
the next right step in our life. Contemplation on the master’s
portrait activates the pink plume of divine love in our heart. We
feel the merging of identity where we become one with our master through
love. During our contemplation, the master literally takes on our
identity and we take on the master’s identity. The master purifies
the identity we have cycled through him or her and gives it back to
us.
The more we do this exercise of concentration, meditation and contemplation,
the more we are able to experience that elevated consciousness. The
Sponsoring Master literally takes our child soul by the hand and rises
her up the spinal altar on the shushumna, ida and pingala energies.
The ida energy is for the mastery of the emotions. The pingala energy
is for the mastery of the mind. The shushumna energy is for the mastery
of our actions.
As we exchange spirals of identity with the master, we find that our
crystal cord—the pipeline of energy from the heart of our I
AM Presence and Holy Christ Self into our physical heart— increases,
and we become just stewards of that energy.
This creates a resonance field, like a magnet, that draws our soul
into our main heart chakra. In that moment, our soul is no longer
in the seat-of-the-soul chakra and in the Hades of the astral body.
At a conscious level, we have become the shepherd on behalf of our
Holy Christ Self and Mighty I AM Presence. We choose to function within
the infinite choices of God’s consciousness, out of the finite
choices of the subconscious.

Flame by Thomas Blackshear
Achieving Christhood
in the flesh is a most glorious situation, a most glorious, wondrous event.
So, approach now your own infinity. Let go of your finiteness.
Enter in to the glory that you shall come to.
I ask you to contemplate the future now. Look down the long celestial
highway.
Are you walking on it? Are you a Christed one? Do you have disciples?
Are you nearing the balance of a hundred percent of your karma?
How do you see yourself, beloved, giving yourself to God, rejoicing that
Gautama or Jesus or Zarathustra or Lao Tzu have called you to this mission?
From
a dictation given by Beloved Helios and Vesta in 1996 through Elzabeth
Clare Prophet, published as a Pearl of Wisdom Vol. 45 No. 24 by The Summit
