Beloved of My Heart: 

God bless you this glorious springtime, when again I am privileged through the Nature Kingdom to remind the outer consciousness of mankind of the Immortality of Beauty, in flowers, shrubs, trees and grass. I. present to you today, April 15, 1961, the Words of the Ascended Master Serapis Bey, as spoken at the Transmission Class wherein the glorious Ascension Flame begins its Joyous Expression throughout the entire Earth and her attendant evolutions. Allow this Ascension Flame full freedom to act, through you, for the blessings of your own dear worlds and the world around you!

Love and blessings

 Beloved Ascended Master Serapis speaks:                            

April 15, 1961 

"Beloved and blessed ones walking the pathway of Earth, greetings into the disciplines and joys which are ours at Luxor! When one walks upon the Spiritual Path toward greater enlightenment "I AM" their humble Servant! When one chooses the by-paths of human pursuit of happiness my interest cannot follow them until they choose of their own free will to return. You who have proven through earnest and sincere endeavor the application of the Law as presented to you are my trusted friends. 

It is my joy to again have your company and your presence with us at the Focus where the Ascension Flame now rises as a Glorious Focus of Liberating Light at Luxor. It was created, magnetized and is sustained by the tremendous energy of Beings who desired to have you know the Truth of Eternal Life again, they having previously lived upon this Earth and attained Immortality. 

Beloved ones, what actually creates a Cosmic Flame? You have thought of that often, "I AM" sure. A specific requirement of any Planetary System for a Quality or Activity which is not present is cognized by an Individualization who is interested in that Planet or Planets and who has taken embodiment through the gates of birth and realizes that there is a requirement and that there is an answer to that requirement from the One Light and Life of Heaven. Such an individual, whilst not yet Ascended, makes the call to the Heavenly Father during the eons of physical life experiences and thus magnetizes from the Heart of Heaven and the God-free Beings who represent that specific Quality, Virtue, Gift or requirement into the substance of Earth, a specifically God-qualified Flame. Unascended beings hold that Divine Flame in the atmosphere of Earth for a specific purpose by their Love Divine. 

Those who cognized that mankind, imprisoned Angels, elemental life and every living thing on this Planet were in the future going to or have already accepted disintegration, decay and ultimate so-called death, as a necessary process of evolution, decided within themselves to assist in creating and sustaining here on this Earth, in the physical appearance world that Ascension Flame which I love, and have guarded for ages! It is the 'Open Door' into Heaven's Realms, through which mankind and all life shall one day pass into their Freedom at the close of an Earth span. 

If someone had not first cognized the specific requirement, if some Divine Being had not been willing to invest his or her energies in answering that Being who cognized the requirement by directing that Flame Earthward, and if there had not been CONSTANCY in those who were recognizing its Presence and loving it, the Ascension Flame, as its very name denotes, would have ascended in its fullness back into that beautiful Realm wherein there is no distress of any kind... but for the love of man and for the love of Eternal Life, we have guarded it. 

It is created of crystalline substance into which we weave at every moment through the twenty-four hour period, through the assistance of the Seraphic and Cherubic Host, as well as through the assistance of the Silent Watchers of the various cathedrals and foci of Spiritual worship, the prayers, energies, calls, fiats and decrees of a constructive endeavor upon this Planet Earth. That increases the volume of the ascending power of this crystalline Flame. It is also intensified by the gratitude in the hearts of everyone who is privileged at the close of the Earth span to enter into its Presence and, even before so-called death, feel the buoyancy which is within it and then, at the time of the passing, JOYOUSLY RISE on its tide into God victory and God-freedom. Oh, how happy is that Ascension Flame! 

You have had an experience, perhaps, in this Earth life when someone or something particularly dear to you was embedded for a time in a substance which was unpleasant, and you lovingly and constantly endeavored to remove it until you were able to give it the freedom which it desired, whether it be a person, place, condition or thing. This is a simple idea of the Activity of the Ascension Flame... it loves to remove from every electron and every atom which is embedded in discord of every kind any substance of impurity and joyously perform its service (for that is the reason for its being) raising the vibratory action of all it contacts and sustaining that higher vibration until individuals walk into God’s Kingdom and there is no destructive karma upon their shoulders; there is nothing to hold them back; they have full access to the Realms of Light Eternal. 

I came ages ago to the very feet of your own Sun God and Goddess, Helios and Vesta, in joy, knowing that there should be a requirement for an Ascension Flame on every Planet of your System. Thus it was after the preparation of the Beloved Sanat Kumara’s Focus at Shamballa and my greeting to him that my entire Being was dedicated to the requirement of establishing a sustained activity of the Ascension Flame upon the Earth, so that those who would live on the Earth in the future, including every laggard and every other guest from every other Planet whom the Lords of Karma might consider worthy, could (when they had exhausted every avenue of personal pursuit) have an 'Open Door' through which to return Home. (Into their own "I AM" Presence in the Realms of Perfection). 

The beauty of our Service is that there is really no prodding upon our parts to make individuals desire to use the Ascension Flame. Proof of that is easily discernible by realizing how long you have been here and how long the Ascension Flame has blazed at Luxor, previously at another Focus! You have been in and out of our Temple, true, interested to a great extent in the architecture and beauty; interested, too, in some of the manuscripts! How interested are you and how interested have you been in that absolute submission of the outer self, which is required as the personality becomes sublimated and the Individuality becomes more apparent as a Chalice through which more of God’s Light can flow? The Planet Earth is full of personalities, yet Individualities who are God Benefactors and who have lived throughout the ages are few and far between. Those who love the Ascension Flame and are willing to enter into very Heart to become absorbed in its Love and Light, shed the garment of personality, just as one takes off a heavy coat after the winter and dons a spring garment. COME NOW, and allow that opportunity which is yours during this thirty-day period (April 15th 1961 through May14th, 1961), while your Gentlemen sponsors are giving you every God assistance, into the Heart of the Ascension Flame. Like children, true, first you may place just one toe within it, then, feeling the exhilaration, you might be eager to return to the orbit of your own outer world. Then again you shall experiment so far as to place a finger or your hand within it. THERE COMES A DAY when you willingly give yourself wholly into that Ascension Flame and you shall feel its resuscitating power in every cell and atom of your being as it rises through you. You in turn, then become a RAISING BUOYANT PRESENCE to all those whom you contact. For this have we remained at Luxor! For this do we come to you again, again and again - not to discipline you but rather to love you Free! Is there not love in the holding of an 'Open Door' through which sometimes, in a whole century, only one person has passed? 

Would you be willing to hold a physical door open for a hundred years? We have rendered this service because we love you; we love life; we love the great Creator of all life.... the Father-Mother God... enough to desire to provide an 'Open Door' so that the least part of imprisoned life shall have full freedom to walk through it in their appointed day! 

You are among those who have visited Luxor very often. You have entered your name as applicants for the various disciplines. You have sat before me, or stood before me, in so many embodiments. You have then, in turn, passed through several of our Temples and, for the most part, have not completed the entire course. Why? Because personality which the individual holds in and around himself, although often unconscious of his love for his own self-created personal self, is a fetter. 

All the Cosmic Beings and Ascended Masters have different types of Service in the Ascended Foci. At Luxor we all wear white garments. There is nothing to distinguish the aspirants from the initiates and even the Victorious Ones, except the ever refining of the fiber of their garments. In the Seventh Temple, as I have told you previously, even the vestments earned through great self-disciplines are removed, so that the individual who passes thus successfully through this Temple is truly an individual Christ, humble enough to be what many falsely affirm they are. It is this process of BEING which we emphasize to you again today! For what you are is written in the ethers around you, as well as what you desire to become. As you enter into the Heart of the Ascension Flame you cognize not only what you are but those around you seem to be. There is 'the razor's edge' of God discrimination. You are also cognizant, if you are willing, of what you can and they can become. Why did we invite our blessed Ascended Lady Nada to assist us at Luxor? Because, as the accentuation of the energies through the Ascension Flame sometimes inflates the outer ego, or the personal self, and throws off that radiation and, as others in the same corridor with different natures, were and are required through the process of sublimation of their own nature to live with such an one, there is a tendency of human nature to love to look within someone else's troubled aura and find therein personal deflections in others, when it is just as easy to look within the heart and see the seed of Immortality. Each such a one is using the same power of attention, the same power of feeling, word and action; but here again ofttimes personality enters into the picture. 

When you pass before the Ascension Flame at Luxor, you are provided with white garments with a crystalline essence around them, beautiful veils to cover your head and face so that no one knows whether you are man, woman or child. It is your own Light expanding through that garment which reaches into, blesses and absorbs the Ascension Flame. That is done as a protection because in your early procession you may be with those who, unmasked, you would feel repellant towards. So you pass in happiness through that experience. BUT… in the final initiation, you must walk with the individual, through the process of elimination, who has apparently caused you the greatest difficulty in your embodiments upon the Earth and YOUR LIGHT MUST SEND HIM OR HER INTO THE ASCENSION BEFORE YOU, and you are willing to remain upon the Earth while they go Free! 

Beloved ones that is not always known. There will be a time when someone will pour their light through you and set you free! As in my day there was one with whom I, too, had considerable interference on the Earth plane and, together throughout centuries of time, friendship was woven so that I, again, could return to my full God-free Estate, where "I AM" now, of course, as the Hierarch of Luxor, and Guardian of the Ascension Flame.  

Luxor opens her gates to you. The Seraphim open their arms to you. The Love of the Seraphic Host enfolds you, and we welcome you, in the deepest sense of the word, home into the buoyancy and happiness which God intends for you to let you see the glimmer of that Light which will be your Pathway when your journey upon Earth is completed!  

"I AM" your humble and loving Servant, Serapis Bey of Luxor."

Love and Blessings,

THE MAHA CHOHAN
