Meditation
It is truly time to go home, beloved ones, as we now take a very personal journey into the Permanent Temple of the Ascension Flame located at Shamballa, upon the very ancient and sacred island of Atlantis!
First, you must now enter your personal sanctuary. Take a deep cleansing breath in and, as you release your breath, begin to visualize the actual structure of the Ascension Focus within your mind's eye. As you can see, to the outer world its architecture is modern and simple. It blends into the landscape well, but seems to be slightly out of place, when compared to the buildings of the nearby area. Walking up three steps, you pause for a moment just outside the door, preparing yourself for what is to come, and upon entering this focus, you silently and reverently remove your shoes, and quietly proceed down a narrow hall.
As you walk through an open doorway on your right, you feel the Presence of beloved Lady Kwan Yin. Immediately you are enfolded in her flames of forgiveness, mercy and compassion, and you let go of all residual negativity that still remains within or around you. The Violet Fire of freedom's love, actively transmutes and further purifies your bodies, until you feel harmonious and free. For a time, you sit and enjoy the offerings of this room. You even observe many members of her household going about their duties and performing their daily rituals. But soon you become very aware of the overwhelming desire to proceed further into the temple.
Upon entering the next room, you come face to face with yourself, and you see the magnificent perfection of your being and world. Perhaps you are even gently shown some areas in which further improvement on your part may also be required. Having observed that which you need to see within yourself, before advancing further, you feel deep gratitude well up in your heart and expand outward, as you once again consider the opportunity which now lies before you.
You now turn to your left and find yourself standing before the great guardian of the Ascension Flame, mighty Serapis Bey. For a few moments you remain silent and motionless, basking in the magnificence of his being. Then you hear his voice within your mind: "As often happened to the initiates who came to the Temple at Luxor in the past, you are now being offered the same opportunity to further develop your spiritual nature. You will find that there are no official teachers here, other than your Holy Christ Self―the one who resides within your own heart flame.
You will be surrounded by impressive libraries full of volumes of priceless books, but there will be no one to point out a single course of study, for that will be left completely up to the inspiration and intuition of your own heart flame. There are countless symbolic treasures of fine art and collectibles within this temple, all containing the secrets and messages of immortality and truth, but no one will suggest that you study them.
Beloved one, all the resources of this retreat are yours for the duration of your stay, including even the glorious opportunity for everyday life, which will act as a proving ground for what you have learned. It is left entirely up to you to follow your heart, and develop your own course of study. After a certain length of time has elapsed, your progress will be assessed, and if there is even a slight improvement in your development, you will be invited to stay. Otherwise, in love, you must depart, and until you are prepared to return again, you will serve the Great White Brotherhood in some other capacity."
Pausing for a moment, you take some time to consider the truth contained within this Master's words, and suddenly you realize where you are, and quickly ask yourself if you are really ready for this step. Instantly, you receive an affirmative answer from within, and are invited and escorted into the Flame Room of the permanent Temple of the Ascension Flame by one of the many members of its brotherhood. You are deeply aware, that beginning right now, you will often find the time to enter this magnificent focus of light―to sit in silent meditation or participate in a service that will assist all life, and you are grateful.
The first thing you notice, upon entering the Flame Room, are the countless members of the angelic host from all the Seven Rays, many of whom have taken up permanent residence within this sacred and holy place. Looking closer, you see specific areas dedicated to various ascended masters and cosmic beings and, at times, you can actually feel and, on occasion, even see the activity of the Ascension Flame being directed into the specific work of each master.
There are many chairs placed in a circular pattern around the altar for your comfort. Taking a seat, you begin to breathe deeply. Quickly becoming centered, you go into a deep meditative state, and prepare yourself at all levels of consciousness to receive the full power of the Ascension Flame allowed by cosmic law, depending upon your development, into your being and world.
You breathe in, absorbing the purity of the Ascension Flame throughout your four lower vehicles. You breathe out, and feel every molecule and atom of your being begin to vibrate faster and faster. Continuing this breathing pattern, your entire body now feels lighter and lighter. Consciously you add the momentum of your lifestream into the flame of purity, expanding and projecting it forth, until everything within this room is surrounded with this mighty power. Even the atmosphere is filled with its crystalline white radiance.
The walls slowly become translucent and, after a short time, they are no longer visible to your sight at all, and you realize that your vibratory level has been raised above all illusion. It is as if the walls were nothing more than soft fabric panels and, as a gentle breeze blew through the room, they simply fell away. You now see before you magnificent, ancient columns, in the distinctive style of the Atlantian architecture.
The central focus of this temple is filled with wonderful treasures and artifacts from those remarkable times. Flawless tapestries hang upon the walls, acting as a backdrop for the many magnificent statues, that were sculpted by the talented artisans of the era. They have truly captured in stone, the perfect stature and physical appearance of their people.
Intricately colored mosaics of fine marble line the floor and you take some time to observe their intertwining patterns. Looking up, you notice that the ceiling above you is open to the sky. The moon and the stars shine brightly down upon you. You find you can actually reach up, touch them, and feel their energy flowing through your body. You expand your consciousness even further and are able to feel your connection with the entire universe! Aside from the light shining down from above, the room is illuminated by a substance that emanates forth from the structure itself. A soft white glow fills every corner, and no shadow is allowed to cast darkness anywhere within this sacred temple. Soft music is carried on a gentle breeze, and although its origin and melody is unknown, it is nevertheless very familiar to you. Totally at peace and at home where you are, you once again gently rise into a higher level of consciousness.
It is within this state that you notice one section of the room radiating light, brighter than all the others and your full attention quickly turns to this wonderful and amazing sight. Concentrating upon this space for awhile, a beautiful altar takes form before you. From within the light, you begin to see and feel ascending and descending energies, coming together upon the altar. It takes a few moments, but when these energies are perfectly balanced, the pure crystalline white flame of the ascension, with its crystalline radiance, reaches out and you are enfolded in a feeling of joy and love unlike anything you have ever experienced upon this Earth.
You draw closer to the flame, until you can actually feel the activity and power of the ascension spiraling upward from the very center of the Earth. Understanding the reality of this wonderful gift of love given to the humankind of Earth, you once again hear the voice of the master within your mind. "Come, beloved one, be not afraid. Come and join me within the Ascension Flame." With these words, mighty Serapis Bey slowly takes form, stretching forth his arms, inviting you into his loving embrace.
He continues to speak to you, “Have no fear or doubt that what you are experiencing is not real. Let everything you no longer need go, into this sacred fire. Trust yourself and let it happen, here and now. Be forever free. Join me, and all the great beings of light―both ascended and unascended―who serve the planet Earth." Receiving these beautiful words deep into your heart and mind, you are confident and have the courage necessary to step fully into the flames, becoming ONE with them...You drink deeply of the essence of purity! You feel the power of the ascension coursing through your body.
As you absorb the light, allowing yourself to be filled with its radiation, ancient memories begin to return and flood your being with the truth. Silently you affirm within your soul, I AM! I AM! I AM! I AM the Flame of the Ascension, restoring perfect balance to the planetary Threefold Flame. I AM the Flame of the Ascension, purifying all the evolutions of the Earth, through my radiation of perfect love, wisdom, and power. I AM the Flame of the Ascension, allowing hope to blossom, and flourish in every human heart. I AM the Flame of the Ascension, raising all humanity into myself in radiant joy and peace. So be it, beloved I AM!
Fully charged and energized, you accept the reality of who you truly are―ONE with the activity of purifying and raising the vibratory level of all life―allowing the perfection of God's divine plan to manifest across the face of the Earth. The pain and distress of the entire human race is now transmuted and dissolved, replaced with the buoyant, raising joy of the Ascension Flame and you once again hear the voice of love within your mind: "BEHOLD―I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW! You have been raised in consciousness by the great power and love of the Ascension Flame and it is your responsibility to remain at this level until such time as you are prepared to move forward once again. For a moment consider the wonderful tools and profound wisdom you have been given to maintain this activity and send your gratitude and love to the ONE supreme source of all life."
Returning your attention to where you are seated before the altar in the flame room of the Central Focus of the Ascension Flame, you desire to share what you have seen and heard with others but you know that this is one of those experiences that is yours and yours alone. YOU WILL REMAIN SILENT. You fully understand that every person will go through an initiation such as this, in their own way and at their own time, whenever they have been prepared. You also know it will be through your example and heightened level of awareness, that you will help raise the vibratory activity of each and every person with whom you come in contact.
It is time―beloved ones―to draw this journey to a close. When you are ready, ever so gently return your attention to your physical sanctuary. Take your time, for there is no need to hurry. Fully absorb the gifts you have been given during your sojourn, for they are many. I know your only desire is to continue your studies within this great temple of learning, and I hope that you are indeed able to do so. Make this request of both your Holy Christ Self and your God Presence, then listen with your heart and patiently await your answer.
