Are you an ascended master?

Tell ya what, go and read up on what an "ascended master" is supposed to be, and ask yourself if I look like the kind of person who'd call themself an ascended master.

Ascended Masters

In mid-1950s, the automatic writing practitioner Dorothy Martin, aka Sister Thedra, received a communication from an entity calling itself Sananda – the “galactic name” of Jesus in the Ascended Master Teachings. After conveying spiritual teachings to Martin and her esoteric group, the Seekers, Sananda “revealed” that a global cataclysm would destroy the Earth in 1954. The enlightened Seekers, would, however, be rescued by a flying saucer and taken to Ananda’s planet.

Many Seekers quit their jobs, gave away their possessions, and waited for a flying saucer that never came to rescue them from a cataclysm that never happened.

This true story was described in the pioneering social psychology work When Prophecy Fails, by Leon Festinger, Henry Riecken, and Stanley Schachter, published in 1956. I re-read this book often and take it as a warning. Like Dorothy Martin, we, as practicing magicians, receive signs and communications from beyond the ordinary. One of our challenges is not falling prey to self-deception.

Why are we in danger of self-deception? It’s tempting to interpret any extraordinary experience as evidence of success at magic. Our subconsciousness reflects back what we give it – the principle that Robert Anton Wilson summarised as “what the thinker thinks, the prover proves.” If we read about Egyptian and Indian deities, our subconsciousness will dress our experiences with these symbols.

Add to this that the astral-mental regions are full of elementals and larvae that can pose as helpful guides to feed off our astral matrix. It is conceivable that the entity moving Dorothy Martin’s pen was one such mischievous elemental.

This deceptive allure is sometimes called “glamour.” Certain authors, like theosophist Alice Bailey, pay much attention to keeping safe of glamour in their writings.

One tactic for dealing with glamour is disregarding all unusual phenomena. In certain teaching orders, the prevalent practice is to invalidate any experience a student might have as “illusion,” “Maya,” “distraction” or some such. This is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. If we wish to study magic, we must study the effects of magic.

So let’s look at some practical ways in which we can address such phenomena. I would recommend, first of all, detached journaling of such phenomena. Then, their analysis with respect of whether they flatter and whether they impose themselves. The soul mirrors are an invaluable tools for their examination, and a good magic hygiene a way to prevent them.

One of my favourite esoteric authors, Paul Foster Case, wrote that the true Voice will never flatter and never command. I understand flattery to mean anything that arouses self-importance, such as suggesting that a person is exceptionally talented, successful, and chosen for a special mission or favour. Flattery may come in form of a messiah complex: a notion that the individual has been chosen to save others. Or, conversely, it may come as a belief that we will be spared something that “ordinary” people are due.

Let’s go back to the story of Dorothy Martin and see how it compares to these suggestions. First, Martin didn’t practice detached journaling, but took every transmission from “Sananda” at face value. She allowed “Sananda” to flatter her as a chosen “channel” of teachings beyond her level of spiritual maturity, and command her to prepare for the rapture on the threat of cataclysm. The Seekers as a group didn’t take their deteriorating familial, social and professional relationships as a warning that something was amiss. Finally, the group was open to any and all influences to the point of exhaustion, rather than consuming information mindfully and cultivating balance.

Developing resilience to glamour is a prerequisite to a sustainable and productive magic practice, and I hope that these musings will at least serve as a reminder of this, just as When Prophecy Fails serves as a reminder to me when I get a bit carried away.

So many of you do not understand the significance of when you say “I AM”. What you typically do in your western societies is respond to questions with, “I am a truck driver,” or “I am a physician,” explaining to the person who wishes to know what you do for a living.

In fact, often you are asked, “What do you do for a living?” or, “What type of work do you do?” and you even respond with the incorrect verb, “I am a doctor.” Doing and being are different verbs and typically when you respond to someone’s question, you use the same verb or one of similar meaning. There is no similarity between doing and being; they mean entirely different things.

The correct response would be, “I do medical work for a living,” however your people have titles and labels and when you tell someone what your title is, you conveniently tell them a lot about who you believe yourself to be. This is false.

If they are truly interested in you, would they not have the patience to listen to a few sentences of explanation, rather than just a few words and a label? This is a reflection on how insincere your people are, and how superficially they behave towards others. When you consider that you are all One, all part of the greatness of All That Is or God, would you not take a few more moments in order to understand another person?

Q: You've never been to a schmoozing seminar, have you? The idea of schmoozing at parties is to move from one conversation to another. What happens if you should meet someone who's truly interesting? You'd never know because you're more focused on getting to know everyone else in the room only to some superficial extent.

El M: Yes. Questionable behavior, but then earthlings have much change ahead of them. Also, if you were to meet someone you consider beneath your station in life, would you stand to speak to them or move on as if they were insignificant to you? Your particular means of earning a living on Earth is what you do, what you experience in your life as you go about your everyday is what you feel or think or experience. Reserve I AM for the awareness that you are a powerful being, connected to the ALL, and part of the oneness of life. You are a Creator God, incarnated on planet Earth right now to help change its fate and the fate of the unaware upon her. No less than that. When you reserve your I AM for this, you stop giving yourself false messages to comply with. You stop believing in your false self. Do not say, "I am stupid" because you will set about to lower your own IQ and in hasty time as well. Because you give your mind permission to create that. Your body will respond as it is created through your mind who already believes it's flawed and the mind, stupid. Say, I AM part of All That Is. I am strong and powerful. I am divine. I am a genius. Reserve the words I AM only for these instances. That is the only way you should define yourselves. As part of the powerful ALL. When you say, "I am just a housewife," you are saying that is all that you wish to experience in this lifetime and that is what you believe yourself to be. To step outside of that role will become terrifying if at some point in your life you must do so. You people suffer from "empty nest syndrome," and this is why. It is because of one's self-definition. When you say," I am a sister,I am a son" then you define yourself and your relationship to others not even as a being in your own right. When you say "I am a daughter/son" then you indicate that your relationship to your parents is very important to you, and that you define yourself by how they have allowed you to. This is how you learn to define yourself. You spend so much time alone that you have a greater relationship with yourself.

Channeled notes for clarity and direction:

Q) What is happening on the planet right now?

Q) Which direction are we going towards?

Q) What does the planet need right now?

Q) How can we serve the planet from our side?

Ascension and Freedom is our ultimate lesson, the lesson that we as Gaia consciousness are learning now.
