THE PERMANENT CENTRAL TEMPLE OF THE ASCENSION FLAME

ELECTRONIC PATTERN: The merging of Ascending and Descending Triangles of Light encircled by the Rainbow Rays ---- with the chela in the center --- the Reunion with Divinity.

Serapis Bey:

I cannot stress too deeply the importance of the yearly Thoughtforms and Themes that the Spiritual Hierarchy releases to the chelas of The Bridge to Spiritual Freedom. I ask that each of the chelas take some time to contemplate the basic principles upon which this entire Activity is based.  

The work of the Ascended Masters is an inner work. It can never be grasped by the outer world of manifestation unless the inner work is first accomplished. ALL MANIFESTATION, my beloved ones, moves in but one direction, and that is from the inner to the outer. No physical manifestation just appears, contrary to popular belief. No! Never! It would be impossible for this to occur, because it would not be according to cosmic Law. First the thought, then the feelings, and finally... the manifestation!

Further, you must also know that a weak thought and a casual emotional response to that thought, brings forth a very unimpressive manifestation, or results only in vapory and vacillating thoughtforms drifting about in the astral realm for a time. Often, mental confusion is the primary result of these ineffective and half-formed mental creations drifting about in the atmosphere, but this is a subject I will address at a later time.

I AM SPEAKING TO CHELAS! When you call to me, my response shall always remain consistent, for I speak from the Heart of Creation; from the Heart of the Ascension Flame!

There is not enough love expressed if there is no self-discipline, for then the child knows not how to apply the law given in the expression only of tenderness. I speak from a Heart filled with Love and Tenderness, but I would be incomplete as a Master of Energy if I did not reveal to you that for the chelas, self-discipline is absolutely essential to Mastery. Once again, balance is the key.

You have had manifestations and more are forthcoming; but the first steps must be taken before the outer signs appear. These are the proof to the outer world, but all chelas must work in the attitude of Faith and Confidence, asking not for signs.

The full Ascension into the Light of the Presence of God "I AM" is something that is accomplished one step at a time. The Thought-forms and Themes given each year are the steps on this pathway. I repeat: The Thoughtforms and Themes given each year are the steps on this pathway. They form the ‘container' in which all the work of a given year will be placed... day by day, week by week, month by month, until it is filled and ready to be released into the consciousness of the entire race. Each yearly cycle, a new Thoughtform and Theme is projected, and that becomes the basis for all the work of that cycle, and it is building a stairway to the full Ascension in the Light of God that is Eternally Victorious.

Some time ago I told you that the Ascension Temple is reached through the Temple of my beloved brother mighty Victory. The Flame of Victory is the doorway to the Ascension Flame, because each victory accomplished automatically draws the Ascension Flame to you, and you feel yourself spiraling upward to a higher vibration. Think about this until you fully understand.

Victorious Accomplishment is to be your attitude - your confidence - your absolute assurance of the success of all endeavors of Light, until the time comes when you are finally drawn up into the "I AM" Presence.

The Thoughtforms and Themes are a work of Light. And now, having given this instruction, I ask you, my co- servers, to intensify your work upon the Thoughtforms and the accompanying decrees given, for they are the key to your Peaceful World of Brotherhood.

I am grateful to you for your increased endeavors in giving the Thoughtforms and Themes, for this is a true expression of Divine Love. You know, dear chelas, that just as this love is expressed, another assignment will always be waiting, which will require even more effort. However, you are each one better prepared to go forward into the fuller expression asked of you, so I remain grateful for your every effort to work with us.

One of my Qualities is Discipline, because no progress can be made without it. My Love for the Ascension Flame is all-encompassing, and I guard it with my full attention. The Ascension Flame is anchored in your hearts, and without the disciplined attention of the Chohans, the Masters, and all Beings of Light who dedicate their Lifestreams to the sustaining of the Sacred Fire, there would be no Light to respond to your calls. The more adept you each become to your use of Sacred Fire, the more you can assist yourselves and all life who come behind you upon the path. This then is the training into which a chela enters with the Masters of Light!

The expression of Divine Love takes many forms, and discipline is one of them. This then is my offering of Love to all of you, and to the entire Earth.
