New Beginnings
Golden Age Civilizations in Ascended Master Culture

New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings.

–Lao Tsu

 

After the fall and sinking of Lemuria, Atlantis and their colonies, life renewed. The vestiges, customs and spiritual underpinnings of these golden age civilizations were transferred to distant lands. We find remnants and influences of these around the world and we are told by the ascended masters that these records and vestiges have also been safeguarded in the cities and retreats of the heaven-world that function on the etheric plane.

We read in the Ascended Master Encyclopedia that after the Great White Brotherhood sponsored mystery schools on Lemuria and Atlantis, where higher spiritual truths were taught to those willing to keep the disciplines of the adepts, mystery schools began again in earnest on the physical plane. These include the Sangha of the Buddha, the Essene community at Qumran, the Pythagoras’ school at Crotona, Jesus and his disciples, and King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table. Other schools were located in the Himalayas, in the Far East and Egypt, as well as in Europe and South America.

The secrets of the temple of Solomon and Kabbalah, and of the Great Pyramid reflect the teachings of these mystery schools. In medieval Europe, the guilds were mystery schools. The Gothic cathedrals reflected the mysteries of the inner law of the soul in architecture and design—far beyond the comprehension of medieval man. Artisans were skilled in raising the consciousness of those who entered the cathedrals by building around them a structure that reflected the inner geometry of divinity, that is God.

Whenever and wherever the mystery schools were destroyed or disbanded, the ascended masters who sponsored them withdrew their flames and sacred shrines to retreats on the etheric plane. Here, disciples are trained during sleep and between embodiments in their finer bodies and soul consciousness.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, in preparation for the advent of the Aquarian Age, much of the mystery school occult—or hidden—teaching became available and has gradually been made more and more available to the general public, even over the internet. The challenge we face today is that along with the true teachings and teachers sponsored by the Great White Brotherhood and the true ascended masters come many false teachers, false hierarchies and ascended master impersonators.

Only through diligent prayer and devotion can the seeker learn to discern between the spirits and fruits of each one who professes to be one with the Brotherhood of Light. Jesus said, “By their fruits shall ye know them.” He was speaking not only of what they create, but also of the vibration in what they create. The greatest spiritual gift we can ask for then, is the gift of the discerning of spirits which comes from the Holy Spirit and is administered through the Chohan of Divine Love, Beloved Paul the Venetian.

Let us know focus our attention on some of the golden age mystery school teachings and civilizations that emerged after the continents of Atlantis and Lemuria were submerged. These golden age cultures had enough of the qualities and characteristics of past golden ages that they have been labeled as such. In spite of other flaws, they are worthy of study.

Ancient Egypt

 

The culture and spirituality of ancient Egypt directly ties back to ancient Lemuria, with the worship of the Sun God Ra, as well as to Atlantis, with the understanding of God as the solar disc. Ancient Egyptians developed a powerful golden age culture, from the initiations of Luxor and the Great Pyramid, to the mysteries of the Sphinx, to the golden age Sun-reign of Ikhnaton and Nefertiti, to their mathematical, astronomical and spiritual connection with the God-Star Sirius. I cover some of these mysteries in my book G.O.D Embrace the Majesty of Your Divine Geometry which can be found at www.booksforaquarius.com The Egyptian Mysteries that were steeped in the Light also directly influenced Jesus and the origins of Christianity. I describe this in my book, The Gospel of Aquarius, and at www.gospelofaquarius.com.

For many thousands of years, the pharaohs were considered to be the incarnation of God. In fact, the word “king,” Mark Prophet taught, in an acronym for “Key to the Incarnation of God.” The Egyptian mystery schools were operative for thousands of years and still function on the etheric plane. The knowledge of mathematics, astronomy, sound healing, levitation and the ritual of the resurrection were among the mysteries taught. The concept of Ma'at, the antithesis of chaos, is a most beautiful alchemy, and upon which our hearts are weighed. More about the Egyptian mysteries can be discovered in the writings of C.W. Leadbeater, and especially in the book Ancient Mystic Rites.

The Egyptian mysteries were unfortunately often clouded over by black magicians infiltrating the priesthood. This was the reason why Akhenaten reverted back to the Aten, the one God symbolized in the sun. After his accession to the throne of Egypt, Akhenaten discovered a highly corrupted clergy at Karnak, greedy for power and wealth. The preachers' offerings to the god only served to maintain the luxury tastes and the great alcoholic feasts of the priests. As in the final days of Atlantis and Lemuria, the priesthood ensured their hold on the population by creating a climate of fear and divine terror based on superstition.

The master Lanello, who was embodied as Akhenaten, spoke about this lifetime in a Summit Lighthouse dictation: He said, “Make haste to enter into the true ancient mysteries. For Egypt was not a land of the dead, but Egypt in the ancient tradition carried forward the supreme worship of the one God, even the Incal of Atlantis. And therefore we were there to reestablish that monotheism.

“This was a challenge not merely to the black priesthood of Egypt, beloved. It was a challenge to that reincarnated black priesthood of Atlantis. Thus you see, those who did cause the sinking of Atlantis, those black magicians who had even entered the office of high priest in the temple, would not relent but would continue to move against those who worshiped the one God and retained the memory of the golden-age civilizations of Atlantis.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Egyptian obelisk of Luxor in Paris, Place de la Concorde

 

We find a record of this fallen Egyptian priesthood again in the biblical story of Moses. To some degree, the glory of Egypt was restored with Alexander the Great and promoted by Napoleon to the Western world. Ten years after Napoleon's Egyptian conquest, the obelisk of Luxor was gifted to Paris where it stands, in the Place de la Concorde, sharing a hieroglyphic offering of thanksgiving to the God Amun, the invisible God of all creation.

Some of the mysteries of Egypt can be found in the song “ Scarab in the Sky,” that I wrote and that you can listen to at www.songsofdivinelove.com. The scarab is the Egyptian symbol of the Resurrection and represents the solar disc of Ra, crossing the sky each day.

 

Scarab in the Sky

I was sitting on the banks of the Nile one day
Watching the time slowly pass away
Then feeling the fire I looked on high
To see a flaming scarab cross the sky
Amon Ra
Toward you my soul aspires
Fill me with your light
That I too might take flight

I was sitting on a wave of desert land
Staring at the Sphinx sitting on the sand
Sitting there since Atlantis time
Patiently awaits our God to find
Serapis Bey
From Luxor clear the way
Feather of Ma'at weighs in
To cleanse me from my sin

I was sitting in the heart of the Pyramid
Pondering the sacred mysteries
When I crossed the portal of initiation
Holy ecstasy in adoration
Isis unveiled
Now whispers “what is is”
Osiris fills my cup
With Horus, Christ I sup

I am sitting on the banks of the Nile again
Contemplating life as hourglass sand
When I feel the fire and look on high
Flaming disc of Aten flashing through the sky
Winged chariot of heaven is drawing nigh
Then my soul like the scarab begins to fly

The Egyptian adepts were also very much aware of the equidistant three stars of Orion's belt—Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka—that point to Sirius and represents the threefold flame of love, wisdom and power within the heart. I describe these in the song, “Divine Constellation.”

 

Divine Constellation

As I look to the skies late at night
My soul filled with awe and delight
Then I focus my gaze on three stars in the haze
That point to God from afar
Gently placed by the great master painter
In loving and focused elation
On the canvas so bright, Sirius pulsing in sight
Tapestry of divine adoration

Alnitak power divine
Now through me let your sweet light shine
Sword of the faithful and true
Charge me with light rays of blue
Now envelop my soul with thy faith in the goal
That leads all to their ascension

As I look to the skies late at night
My soul filled with awe and delight
Then I focus my gaze on three stars in the haze
That point to the flame in my heart

Alnilam wisdom divine
Now through me let your sweet light shine
Illumine the world for all time
Yellow fires of the ancients now shine
Now envelop my soul with fresh hope in the goal
That leads all to their ascension

As I look to the skies late at night
My soul filled with awe and delight
Then I focus my gaze on three stars in the haze
That help me to make a new start
Mintaka love's beauty divine
Now through me let your sweet light shine
Propelling love flame of compassion
Rose petals of immortal kindness
Now envelop my soul with child joy in the goal
That leads all to their ascension

We read in Man: His Origin, History and Destiny about the voyage that the master Serapis and his disciples made to transfer the ascension flame from the temples of Atlantis to the land of Egypt. The ascended master accounts tell us that when the final island of Atlantis was about to sink beneath the waves, the priesthood who had remained true to the spiritual hierarchy endeavored to reach the consciousness of the people and warn them of impending cataclysmic changes.

Serapis said: “As the years went by, the priesthood became hard, arrogant and superior, closed in a mental shell of consciousness. They were so versed in the Law that they withdrew from the pressures and inspiration of the Christ message which comes like a dove—humbly, simply and unadorned. In their spiritual arrogance, the priesthood swayed the masses, and few represented the true spiritual order. Those who remained true to the Light were informed when the time came for the sinking of the continent.

“At a certain hour, on a certain night we loaded our boats with all the beautiful treasures from our temples, those that we were able to wrest from the hands of the greedy priesthood. With a prayer in our hearts and the faithful few in our boats, we sailed across the Atlantic and the Pacific to many lands. None of us knew where we were going until we opened the sealed orders, after we had left the shore.

“We knew there was a timing, an element to be considered because the sinking of a continent vitally affects the mighty oceans, and we were in small barks which tossed like chips on the waves of the sea. We found, on opening our orders, that we were destined for Egypt. Forty of us concentrating our prayer force, faith, physical energies and endurance, rowing to assist the sails, each trying to meet that deadline. We were not so much interested in the survival of our bodies, but interested in getting our cargo, the embers of the Ascension Flame, which was the spiritual heritage from Atlantis entrusted to us, on dry land before our boat was overwhelmed by the rising sea.

“And we did! We sailed up the Nile and when we landed in the region of Luxor, we carried with us in a golden brazier—through rain, wind and storm—a living flame, heart of the Ascension Temple on Atlantis, to plant at Luxor. With our own bodies we cradled that flame--each one of us breathing the flame of our hearts within it, and breathing the breath from our lips upon it. And the prayers of our souls and spirits kept it alive for that hour when we landed. Rising with renewed strength by acknowledgment of our source, we rowed up the river to Luxor. I remember the commendable restraint of the members of our company, who, rather than rushing over the side of the boat as it rode at anchor, awaited my disembarking, carrying the brazier within which the spark of the Ascension Flame still burned. Then, forming a dignified procession, all followed me ashore.

The Retreat at Luxor, Serapis Bey and Dossier on the Ascension www.tsl.org

“We knelt about that flame which we had kept alive by our very breath, our prayers and application during the rainy nights at sea, during the foggy days, as the heavy winds beset our slight bark. As we knelt thus, pouring our love into the Ascension Flame, from the embers new Light grew. How grateful our hearts were that there was even an ember! Around that Flame of the Ascension we knelt and as we did, the Earth trembled and the mighty Nile swelled over its banks. I admit the tears fell, as Poseidonis, the heart of Atlantis, the home that we had known, and the temples—the magnificence of which has not yet come forth again since that day—our loved ones, our families passed beneath the waves into the heart of the sea.

 

 

“We thanked the God that made us as we gazed at the still glowing embers of that Ascension Flame, knowing that within its presence was the way back home, not only for ourselves but for all who would lose their bodies in the sinking of Atlantis and who would again wait at the gates of birth for new embodiment upon the remaining landed surface of the Earth. And as the great Nile River swelled and the Earth shook, we remembered Atlantis.”

The Golden Age of Greece

Many of the names of the Greek Gods and their Roman counterparts have their origin in the names of the ascended masters. These include Hercules, Vesta, Venus, Athena, Poseidon, Zeus, Apollo, Aries and Hermes. The Greek Gods, in fact, represented the ascended hierarchies but over time, were given human characteristics. This is where God made in the image of man, sadly replaced “Man, made in the image of God.”

An important historical figure that bridged the Greek and the Egyptian cultures and their mysteries was Alexander the Great, who became an adopted Egyptian Pharaoh and established the city of Alexandria in Egypt, where the Library of Alexandria was later built. Alexander also bridged the golden age consciousness of ancient Egypt and Greece with the mysteries of the East, by developing the Silk Road and strengthening the merchant and cultural exchanges between East and West. He went on a pilgrimage to the Oracle of Siwa, where he was told he was a Son of God, and more specifically the God Amon. The horns that are often seen on coin figure heads of Alexander are representations of Amon and the golden ratio spiral.

It can easily be said that the golden age of Greece began with the mystery school funded by Pythagoras at Crotona. We read from the Ascended Master Encyclopedia that in the sixth century B.C., the Greek philosopher Pythagoras who was regarded as the son of Apollo was an indefatigable adept. As a youth, Pythagoras conferred freely with priests and scholars, eagerly seeking scientific proof of the inner law revealed to him in meditation upon Demeter, the Mother of the Earth. His quest for the great synthesis of truth led him to Palestine, Arabia, India, and finally to the temples of Egypt, where he won the confidence of the priests of Memphis and was gradually accepted into the mysteries of Isis at Thebes.

Pythagoras was exiled in Babylon when the prophet Daniel still served as king’s minister. Here rabbis revealed to him the inner teachings of the I AM THAT I AM given to Moses. Zoroastrian magi tutored him in music, astronomy and the sacred science of invocation. After twelve years, Pythagoras left Babylon and founded a brotherhood of initiates at Crotona, a busy Dorian seaport in southern Italy. His “City of the Elect” was a mystery school of the Great White Brotherhood.

At Crotona, carefully selected men and women pursued a philosophy based upon the mathematical expression of universal law, illustrated in music and in the rhythm and harmony of a highly disciplined way of life. After a five-year probation of strict silence, Pythagorean “mathematicians” progressed through a series of initiations, developing the intuitive faculties of the heart whereby the son or daughter of God may become, as Pythagoras’ Golden Verses state, “a deathless God divine, mortal no more.”

 

School of Athens by Raphael

Pythagoras delivered his lectures from behind a screen in a veiled language that could be fully comprehended only by the most advanced initiates. The most significant phase of his instruction concerned the fundamental concept that number is both the form and the essence of creation. He formulated the essential parts of Euclid’s geometry and advanced astronomical ideas that led to Copernicus’ hypotheses. He was the Father of musical theory. It is recorded that two thousand citizens of Crotona gave up their customary lifestyle and assembled together in the Pythagorean community under the wise administration of the Council of Three Hundred—a governmental, scientific and religious order that later exercised great political influence throughout Magna Grecia.

We also find beautiful aspects that tie into golden age culture through the mystery school of Orpheus, who was a musician and poet, and who wrote songs to the gods. He and his disciples founded the cult of Orphism, a system of religious beliefs, practices and literature that even ties back to Pythagoras. Sharing a poem I wrote and published at www.mostbeautifulpoems.com called “A Hymn to Orpheus.”

 

A Hymn to Orpheus

Long ago, verdant canopy, Hellenism abound
With a lyre and a voice, gracious poems in sound
For the gods are our friends, heaven's treasures resound
In the forest serene where the muses are found

Orpheus, most beloved, with a ballad so fair
For to transmute vile karma with a sonnet mid-air,
Whilst the faeries and gnomes, woodland creatures did stare
As your songs, like the stars, lead our souls up the stairs!

Would Prometheus know you would one day descend
Like the Christ from the tomb to the bowels of sin?
There to save souls in Hades from unfortunate end
With a song where Lord Krishna, melting hearts,
makes amend?

True, Eurydice, like Persephone, once tripped into a snare
And then followed your voice, quickened hope like a flare,
To mount spirals of joy for Olympus to share
Sadly fell to the fathoms, glancing back at the lair...

Break the spell, from the ethers, gather songs of the free!
Forge a passage to heaven for the many to see!
Yes! to transcend rebirth like a buddha to be
Is your song of the lyre under Greek Bodhi tree!

For your love still resounds even when time stands still,
Sweetly covers the vales and the woods and the hills,
Till Eurydice, like Ariane, one day follows your lilt
Golden thread, maze of karma, vic'try pathway to fill!

“Hatred never ceases by hatred,”
words our dear Buddha spoke,
Spoken Word, divine song, Hades' spell is now broke—
For by love comes new healing that our heart fires stoke
Verdant flame, life eternal, Buddha's wheel, we are spokes!

Writes Ezekiel, the clockwork of time is our friend,
Wheels in wheel that are spinning from beginning to end--
Behold! Alpha, Omega, our life's journey will mend,
Mount Olympus is dawning, New Jerusalem now descend!

Pythagoreans Celebrate the Sunrise by Fyodor Bronnikov

 

Another important foundation of the Golden Age of Greece was the Oracle at Delphi. We can gain a good understanding of the history and purpose of the oracles from the early ascended master teachings recorded by Schroeder.

Several hundred years before Christ, there started in Greece a spiritual order called the Order of Delphi. Most of the individuals associated with this activity had belonged to Pallas Athena's court. Any divine being could use the body of an oracle upon occasion, in order to give instructions to a group who would gather together to receive that assistance. The first vestal virgins were completely dedicated to magnetizing pure truth. They would draw forth, repeat, and record the truth from beloved Vesta and Pallas Athena, Goddess of Truth.

Pallas Athena supervised the disciplines and the careful preparations and training necessary for the development of a receptive consciousness, for those who were to be the mouthpieces of the Brotherhood. These were the Vestal Virgins of Delphi. They spent their training in solitary confinement, and took the vow to be of pure mind and body. So long as the priestesses were able to be in tune with the Spirit of Truth and listened to the God-voice within, the early Greeks were able to make progress on the spiritual path. This divine fountain of wisdom was maintained in a state of perfection for almost seven hundred years.

Eventually, the purity of the Order of Delphi declined for two reasons. Some virgins who were given the opportunity to serve as oracles to balance karma, allowed themselves to be bought off by those desiring to forward political causes. They made great fortunes assisting unqualified lifestreams to positions of leadership. The Greeks, who had relied upon the Oracles of Delphi for hundreds of years, were now deceived by false prophets. Members of the dark forces also wrote out messages and gave them to the oracles, who would deliver these messages to unsuspecting people. When one vestal virgin did not live up to her vow of purity. Contagion spread through the entire order brought the Delphic Oracles to ruin.

This destroyed the connection between beloved Vesta, Pallas Athena, and the Greek populace. It took some time for those listening to the oracles with faith and hope to realize they had been deceived. Some became so disillusioned that in later embodiments, they remained very suspicious of anything that had to do with mystic phenomena or extra-sensory perception. The master Hilarion said he personally devoted a portion of his life to those disappointed lifestreams, hoping to bring them back to the point where they could again desire the truth of God to set them free.

 

Temple of Truth www.ethericretreats.com

We read in the Ascended Master Encyclopedia that Pallas Athena together with Zeus, brought forth the Golden Age of Greece. The Greeks were much inspired by Pallas Athena and the pursuit of divine Truth as a divine principle that transcends all human error. Devotees of Truth built a glorious temple on Crete, using as a blueprint the original Temple of Truth on Poseidonis. After centuries of perfection, the Temple of Truth fell into decay and was destroyed by those who rebelled against truth and the disciplines of purity and harmony Following its destruction, the temple was etherealized, and is still pulsating in the ethers over the island of Crete. Later, Serapis Bey in his embodiment as the sculptor Phidias, brought forth an almost-exact replica of the Temple of Truth when he built the Parthenon in Athens, dedicated to Pallas Athena.

 

Pallas Athena Goddess of Truth

 

Pallas Athena was featured in The Odyssey by Homer as the goddess who sponsors Odysseus. She was a hallmark of Golden Age Greek education, literature, governance, art, music and spirituality. Homer was an embodiment of the Lord Maha Chohan, Pallas Athena's twin flame and the now representative of the Holy Spirit.. Pallas Athena was also deeply appreciated by Alexander the Great who placed her statues on the Silk Road all the way to India, and had a temple built for her in Asia Minor, the Temple of Athena Polias in Priene.

In dictations through the Summit Lighthouse, Pallas Athena told students that the highlight of the golden age of Greece was the reign of Pericles and his consort Aspasia, so beautifully described in Taylor Caldwell's book: The Glory and the Lightning. We read from the Ascended Master Encyclopedia: “The golden age of Pericles in Athens was one of the richest eras in the history of the entire world. The construction of the Parthenon, the finest talents of art, of government and drama came forth in that period. It was a flowering of genius.

Serapis Bey was embodied as the sculptor Phidias. He was regarded as the greatest of all the Greek sculptors. His most famous work was the forty-foot high statue of Pallas Athena in gold and ivory that stood inside the Parthenon. As the architect of the Parthenon, he supervised its exquisitely masterful construction and personified the golden age for centuries to come. The master Serapis spoke of the golden age of Greece in a Summit Lighthouse dictation:

“There was something very special about Greece—it was a mandala, a pattern of a golden-age society, which the masters of the Great White Brotherhood attempted to outpicture at that time. They sought to restore from ancient Lemuria and Atlantis some of the great works of art and science, and the understanding of God-government.

“Moderation in all things, the Greek ideal, reminds us of the Middle Way of Buddha and the Eightfold Path. The cardinal sin was pride, where an individual would assume a role that was reserved for the gods.”

 

The Acropolis by Leo Von Clenze

 

The purpose of the Greek city-states was to bring forth perfection in government, science, art, literature. We read in the Ascended Master Encyclopedia that the Greek city-states were to unite in the fiery core of the energies of Alpha and Omega. They failed their initiation when they rebelled and warred with each other.

The ascended master God Harmony also spoke of the golden age of Greece in a dictation. He said, “ I would point out that Greece reflected in her glory, by reason of the sculptury and statuary there, a manifestation of symmetry in form and beauty which was outpictured by the young of that nation so that they were able to develop a spirit of Olympia, the abode of the Gods, a realm of perfection, a realm of light.”

Pallas Athena said: “I AM the light of truth. I come bearing the lamp of truth of the ages, truth that was exalted in the golden age of Pericles, truth that wrought the mighty city-states, truth that was the testing ground of souls—your souls and many souls who live in America this day who lived in ancient Greece, who lived in ancient Rome and who have come forth to claim the culture of the Mother once again.

“The materialization of the God flame in America is for the testing, the testing, the testing of souls of ancient Atlantis. Atlantis, light of Mother in Matter!...There is a wave, a cosmic wave that comes in every civilization....“Freedom, then, is a torch that must be passed, and you are all the Greek runners in the race, a race that is unto life and unto victory...Americans have forgotten the ancient heritage of Greece and the lessons of Rome, the lessons of Atlantis. They have forgotten the lessons of Maldek and Hedron, of self-destruction in selfishness, the ways of the pleasure cult, the ways of the drug culture and the ends thereof, which are the ways of the death of the soul....America, ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free!”

Light of India

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The light of India has been sustained by adepts and yogis, masters and saints for thousands of years in the valleys and forests of India, in the temples and in the Himalayan mountains. The ancient Vedas in fact, are the closest teachings to Mother culture of Lemuria that we find and the oldest religion since the sinking of the ancient continents.

 

The Buddhist Ideals of Good Government

 

Then, of course, we have the life and teaching of Gautama Buddha, who was a direct disciple of Sanat Kumara. Gautama Buddha was born in 623 BC and for eighty-one years, learned and taught the eightfold path to his followers to break free from the bonds of rebirth, and most especially the understanding of the Middle Way: “If the string is too tight it will break, but if it is too loose it won't play.” This became known as Buddhism. Approximately three hundred and fifty years later, the emperor Ashoka ruled most of the Indian subcontinent. He began his life as a ruthless conqueror, and later embraced Buddhism and spread the dhamma of righteousness, even all the way to Greece. He erected Buddhist edicts engraven on stone pillars throughout the land.

Many centuries later, another “golden age emperor” arose in India—Akbar the Great, who is remembered for his religious tolerance and his willingness to create a kingdom of brotherhood and peace between Hindus, Buddhists and Muslims. His story is featured in the beautiful movie “Jodha Akbar.”

The Golden Age of China

Throughout history, China had multiple periods considered to be golden ages. In Chinese history, golden ages on a large scale are known as shèngshì (盛世), which literally means “Prosperous Era.” Golden ages on a smaller scale are called zhìshì (治世), which means “Well-Governed Era.”

In the 12th century B.C., the ascended master Lord Lanto, embodied in ancient China as the Duke of Chou, also known as the Yellow Emperor. The Duke of Chou is regarded as one of the greatest statesmen in Chinese history and is considered to be the architect of the Chou Dynasty and the true founder of the Confucian tradition.

Confucius is honored as China's greatest teacher, and has even been worshiped as a great Bodhisattva, or future Buddha. He believed that heaven could be created on earth through ritual and music. His followers became known as knights of the arts because they mastered archery, poetry, mathematics, history, dance, religious rituals and etiquette.

Confucius was embodied in the fifth century B.C., and laid a brilliant social, economic, political and moral philosophy that enabled China to become one of the greatest civilizations of all time. Despite the rise and fall of dynasties, the Confucian state prevailed. Eventually, through the spread of Chinese culture, his ideas were accepted throughout Asia.

We read in the Ascended Master Encyclopedia that Confucius believed that the Duke of Chou was teaching him in his dreams at night. In fact, Confucius claimed that he himself was not an innovator, and only bringing back the standard and the principles of the Duke of Chou. These were the books of poetry, the books of rights, the books of history, the books of change—the I Ching, the books of documents and the books of music.

Lord Lanto also embodied again as a ruler of China at the time of Confucius, and held the Golden Flame of illumination on behalf of the Chinese people for many, many centuries. This flame is anchored in the retreat of the Archangels Jophiel and Christine over the Great Wall of China.

Archangel Jophiel and Christine www.ethericretreat.com

Before his ascension, Lord Lanto determined that the light from his heart flame should shine forth physically as living proof to his disciples that the threefold flame is the Word made flesh. Previously, Lord Lanto had volunteered with the Ancient of Days to rescue earth and her people, comparting an expanded awareness of the threefold flame. He was also a high priest in the temple of the Divine Mother on Lemuria, and had incarnations on Atlantis.

 

Lord Lanto in his final embodiment

 

The Goddess of Mercy Kuan Yin was also identified with the Chou dynasty as having embodied again around 700 B.C. as the third daughter of a ruler of the Northern Kingdom. Legend says she was persecuted by her father for wanting to devote her life to God. Then later in life when her father fell ill, she gave of the flesh of her arm to heal him. Thus, she became known as the Thousand-Armed Kuan Yin.

Kuan Yin is the Goddess of Mercy and reminded us in a Summit Lighthouse dictation about the qualities of mercy. She said that mercy is the strongest power in the universe, because it is the power of the will of God. Mercy is an intensity of love that will dissolve all fear and doubt, all recalcitrance and rebellion. Mercy of the law is sometimes very stern, but it is always patient, always tolerant, and it sees the flame within the heart rising to meet the Christ.

“For when eons pass and men are not moved by the flame that you hold,” says Kuan Yin, “remember that you might wish that you had chosen another easier or more gratifying way....You cry out to God and say, O Lord, how long? How long will this wayward generation be in coming to the knowledge of their divinity, and of the love of the sacred fire that we have held for so long?”

Kuan Yin helps us through the many Chinese mantras offered in her name. One such mantra is “Namo ee roo Kuan Yin.”

From 1700 years before Christ all the way through to the 18th century, the beauty and culture of Chinese golden ages prevailed. This magnificent culture can still be appreciated through the extraordinany multi-media ballets presented by the dance company Shen Yun, that travel the world, created by Falun Gong practitioners who reside in upstate New York. Their mission is to introduce once again to the world and help bring back the culture of divine light that previously existed in China—a culture that valued loyalty, kindness, bravery and love.

Jesus and his Disciples

Jesus and his disciples reinforced the principles of a golden age society by way of teaching and by example. The golden rule, most notably, lays the foundation for all golden ages. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” When Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world,” he was speaking of the golden age. When he taught the Lord's prayer, “Thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven,” he was reinforcing the golden age blueprint, as above so below.

Resurrection Temple over the Holy Land www.ethericretreats.com

 

Our Father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
Even as we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory.
Forever and ever. Amen

The Golden Age of Islam

The Islamic Golden Age was a period of scientific, economic, and cultural flourishing that took place from the 8th century to the 13th century. There were great achievements in mathematics—calculus, algebra, geometry, trigonometry and statistics—education, law, metaphysics, astronomy, poetry, medicine, chemistry, physics, literature and art led by scholars and religious figures like Omar Khayyam and Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī. During the Golden Age of Islam, Christian thinkers, Greek philosophers, Sanskrit writers and Persian contemporaries contributed to the collective dialogue of openness and transcendence.

“Realize this,” said Omar Khayyam. “One day your soul will depart from your body and you will be drawn behind the curtain that floats between us and the unknown. While you wait for that moment, be happy, because you don't know where you came from and you don't know where you will be going.”

And Rumi conveyed the most beautiful golden age concepts in his poetry and consciousness. He wrote, “The wound is the place where the Light enters you. You were born with wings. Why prefer to crawl through life? What you seek is seeking you. Do not grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form. As you start to walk on the way, the way appears. Love is the bridge between you and everything. Your heart knows the way. Run in that direction. The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart. Keep silent, because the world of silence is a vast fullness. There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled.”

Arabic manuscript 13th century Socrates—Soqrāt

 

We see the beauty of the Golden Age of Islam emerge again in the beautiful architecture of Shah Jahan, who built the Taj Mahal for his beloved wife, after she passed away. I speak about this beauty in my song, “ Archways of Infinity,” also published at www.songsofdivinelove.com

We find in the Ascended Master Encyclopedia that at its apex, the Incan civilization had a great devotion to the Light of Christ and acknowledged the power of the Great Central Sun. We also read that the Incan ruler made his ascension at the conclusion of this civilization. The name Inca, in fact, comes from the Atlantean word for God—Incal—and the Inca sun disk is depicted on the national flags of Argentina and Uruguay.

Other ascended masters that we now know as Paul the Venetian, Lanello and the twin flames Rex and Nada, and Bob and Pearl, were embodied during the golden age of the Incas. We can read their wonderful final life adventures of these ones in the classic books of the I AM Movement, Unveiled Mysteries and The Magic Presence. These masters all served together in their Incan embodiment to lower the golden age consciousness that is enshrined on the etheric plane in the retreat of the God and Goddess Meru over Lake Titicaca.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Archangel Jophiel spoke of the sun disk of the Incas in a Summit Lighthouse dictation. He said, “ I ask that you think of that wondrous sun which was depicted in the ancient hieroglyphs of the Incas, behind the throne of their rulers, and indicated to mankind the dependence of those ancient civilizations upon the flame of God’s wisdom, released through the great power of the Central Sun, through the sun of this system of worlds, and every sun, including that blessed sun of illumination whose plume is anchored in the mighty threefold flame within your own beating hearts.”

 

European Golden Age Culture

 

After the long night of the Medieval times, the flourishing of creativity, art, music literature and science created a rebirth known as the Renaissance that championed golden age aspirations. An expansion of these golden age aspirations can later be seen in the kingdom of Loius the XIV, the Sun King and in the building of Versailles, patterned in many ways after an etheric retreat. A few centuries later, what came to be known as the Age of Enlightenment in music and art and literature also promoted golden age concepts and ideas.

 

Versailles Hall of Mirrors

 

The same can be said of Schonbrunn Palace and the beautiful city and culture of Vienna and her waltzes, which were all inspired by Venusian culture, music and beauty. We read, in fact, in the Ascended Master Encyclopedia, that Vienna is a focus of the ethereal energies of Venus on earth.

We also find golden aspirations in the beauty of Venice, La Serenissima, which has adorned the Adriatic sea with the beautiful Basilica of Saint Mark.

 

Retreat of the Master of Paris www.ethericretreats.com

 

We read in The Masters and their Retreats that there is a Master of Paris, who has an etheric retreat over l'Île de la Cité, which is the island in the very heart of Paris. La Sainte Chapelle, with its beautiful stained glass windows and brilliant hues is the anchor point for this retreat, and focuses the rays of God’s consciousness. The Master of Paris also maintains a physical focus in the city of Paris—one of the few physical focuses of the Brotherhood left on the planet—which he often frequents in a physical form. His retreat is a beautiful old castle-like residence with many windows overlooking the city of Paris. This focus is maintained by his disciples and is used frequently by the masters as a meeting place in Paris from which they can direct the energies necessary to hold the balance for the governments of Europe.

Archangel Zadkiel spoke of this retreat in a Summit Lighthouse dictation. He said: “Take the Master of Paris and that retreat in the very heart of the city. It has always been for the single-eyed purpose of keeping the flame of the seventh ray and thereby using it with Christ-discrimination to aid the blessed servants of God in embodiment who do endeavor to bring about world good—to infuse, then, their work, the work of their hands or their inventions or their art or their pure love for humanity, with a portion of that permanence that comes out of the cycles of the violet flame.”

America's Golden Age Destiny

Last but not least, the United States of America received the sponsorship of Saint Germain and the Fourteen Ascended Masters who Govern the Destiny of America. America is destined to outpicture and lead the rest of the world into the Golden Age of Aquarius. This golden age consciousness is held as a divine blueprint and amplifies the glorious Liberty Flame that is ablaze atop the Washington Monument. The ascended masters have prophesied that when America is fully functioning as a golden age, the stripes on the flag will turn from red to gold.

 

Washington D.C. was designed to outpicture the alabaster cities of Light that focus God government and God consciousness on Sirius and other stars. Elizabeth Clare Prophet tells us that “the plan of this city goes back to the great cities of light that were in the Amazon basin in the great golden age of South America. The key buildings of the city are in white, and in many of them, you will see something very much like what is seen in the etheric cities.” These “alabaster cities that gleam” are a divine matrix lowered into the physical plane. They are described in the song, “America the Beautiful” that epitomizes the golden age consciousness dawning for America:

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!

O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The eagle—our national symbol atop every flagpole—is a remembrance of the God government of Sirius and the symbol of Sanat Kumara, the flying Eagle at ascension's gates. The ascended master Saint Germain inspired the Founding Fathers and appeared in the room to compel them to sign the Declaration of Independence: “Sign that document!” In it, are written the foundations of a golden age society. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

This powerful message of freedom, justice and liberty is foundational to a golden age civilization. The Goddess of Freedom atop the Capitol building and the Goddess fo Liberty over New York Harbor are two most important divine representatives of the Divine Mother for this nation, and enshrine the values and aspirations of God, that inspired the words penned by Emma Lazarus.

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Sharing now a poem that I wrote that encapsulates the essence of America's golden age potential. It is called “Freedom Flame. ”

 

Freedom Flame

O say, can you see in the bright morning sun
Glorious flag that we love where the colors don't run
Pink hibiscus to frame in the flowering breeze
The tall stripes and bright stars
that stand out through the leaves

This great flag is the symbol of freedom divine
That the gods have assigned as a hope for mankind
And America is destined to lead Freedom's Star
The blue home we call Earth from both near and afar

To defend her 'gainst all enemies, foreign and domestic
Is the call of the hour, we must keep her majestic
Like the mighty gold eagle perched on top of each pole
Sacred symbol of freedom that must never grow old

Respect God and love country is the cry of the free
To the next generation that must strengthen to be
Awakening heroes, noble hearts and true patriots too
Yes, exalting our faith and the red, white and blue!
