The Names of God
The teachings of the Ascended Masters explore the power of invoking the Names of God ‘aloud,’ a spiritual practice known as the Science of the Spoken Word. By using rhythmic, aloud decrees and affirmations, this practice actively channels divine energy into the physical world. It is considered more powerful than silent prayer because vocalized sound waves act as physical conductors that accelerate spiritual energy-mirroring the biblical creative command, "Let there be Light," and building a high-frequency momentum that transmutes negative karma. Ultimately, without the Word spoken, there is no alchemy, no creation, no change or interchange in any part of Life.

In Jewish mysticism, different divine names express particular qualities and powers of God. Each is associated with a Sefirah, or divine emanation, on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. When these sacred names are spoken or chanted, they can be used to invoke the particular aspect of God they represent.

• Malkhut — Adonai: The Lord and provider who governs and sustains creation.

• Yesod — El Hai and Shaddai: El Hai means “Living God.” Shaddai means “Almighty” and is associated with God's power and covenant.

• Hod and Netzah — Elohim Tzevaot / YHVH Tzevaot: Tzevaot means “of hosts,” expressing God as Lord over the hosts of heaven and earth.

• Tiferet — YHVH (Adonai): The sacred name of God known as the Tetragrammaton, from which the other divine names are said to proceed.

• Gevurah — Elohim: Expresses God's power and divine justice.

• Hesed — El: The Hebrew name for God associated here with divine mercy and love.

• Binah — YHVH (Elohim): Associated with divine understanding and the feminine aspect of God, as well as redemption, freedom, and salvation.

• Hokhmah — Yah: Associated with eternal existence and divine wisdom.

The name Elohim appears in the first verse of the Bible: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” In the teachings of the ascended masters, the Seven Mighty Elohim and their feminine counterparts are the cosmic builders of form. They are identified with the “seven spirits of God” in Revelation and the “morning stars” in the Book of Job. The Elohim represent an extraordinarily high order of divine beings who participate in bringing God's creation into manifestation.

The Kundalini
Kundalini is the sacred fire of the Divine Mother—the life-force and Mother energy that rests at the base of the spine. It is the negative polarity in Matter of the positive Spirit-fire that descends from the I AM Presence to the heart chakra.
When the Kundalini is awakened through spiritual disciplines, yogic practices, bija mantras, or intense love of God, this Mother Light begins to rise up the spinal column through the Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna. As it rises, it penetrates and activates each of the chakras. Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna are the three principal spiritual energy channels associated with the spine. Ida carries the feminine or lunar energy, Pingala carries the masculine or solar energy, and Sushumna is the central channel through which the Kundalini rises toward the higher chakras.
An important key to safely raising the Kundalini is the science of the spoken Word. Dynamic decrees draw down the Light of the Father from the I AM THAT I AM and the causal body. The Light descending through the upper chakras then magnetizes the Mother Light upward from the base of the spine.
When the descending Light of the Father and the ascending Light of the Mother unite in the heart, we can experience the awareness of the sacred heart and the wholeness of Alpha and Omega.
The Blessed Mother has given us the rosary as a safe and gentle way to raise the Mother Light through love and devotion, without a sudden or violent release of energy. Cleansing the aura and chakras with the violet flame also helps the Kundalini rise gradually and safely.
When used in conjunction with the violet flame, the bija mantras to the Divine Mother are safe under the sponsorship of Saint Germain. His East-West approach combines dynamic decrees with meditation and mantras to the feminine deities, providing a path of spiritual acceleration for disciples of both traditions.
Saint Germain recommends establishing a foundation of spiritual protection by giving decrees for the tube of light and calling to Archangel Michael before these practices.

Sumedha (Embodiment of Gautama Buddha)
Sumedha (or Sumeda) was a prominent earlier embodiment of Gautama Buddha. He is said to have lived 100,000 eons ago.

According to Buddhist tradition, it was in this incarnation as Sumedha in which the future Gautama Buddha first made his official vow to pursue full enlightenment. At that time, Sanat Kumara was embodied as Dipamkara (the Lamp-Lighting ), the first of twenty-four Buddhas who preceded Gautama Buddha. Dipamkara prophesied that the ascetic Sumedha would become the future Buddha Gautama. Here is how the story goes:

Countless eons ago, Sumedha was born into a wealthy Brahmin family. Realizing that worldly life was full of suffering, he renounced his immense wealth to become a mountain ascetic. The critical turning point in his spiritual journey occurred when he encountered
Dipamkara Buddha, the enlightened world teacher of that era.

While visiting a town to see Dipankara (Sanat Kumara), Sumedha noticed a stretch of the road was muddy and unfinished. To prevent the Buddha and his disciples from soiling their feet, Sumedha prostrated himself over the mud, spreading his long hair to act as a human bridge. While lying in the mud, Sumedha vowed to forgo entering Nirvana right then as an Arhat. Instead, he resolved to endure the long cycle of rebirths to become a fully awakened Buddha himself in the future so he could save others. Dipamkara Buddha read his pure mind and delivered a definitive prophecy, confirming that after many lifetimes, Sumedha would be reborn as Gautama Buddha.

Following this blessing, Sumedha spent millions of subsequent lifetimes fulfilling the ten spiritual perfections (paramis) across various forms, finally achieving enlightenment as Siddhartha Gautama.

Buddhists consider Dipamkara, Gautama Buddha and Lord Maitreya to be the "Buddhas of the three times"— past, present and future. Some believe this to mean that Dipamkara is the past Lord of the World, Gautama Buddha is the present Lord of the World, and Maitreya will be the future Lord of the World. This statement about Maitreya has not been confirmed by the ascended masters. Instead of anticipating a future change in the office of Lord of the World, the Masters teach that humanity's immediate focus should be on Maitreya's current role as the Great Initiator. This Buddhist thinking might confirm why they call Maitreya, The Coming Buddha.

The Ethiopian Bible
The Ethiopian Bible, preserved by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, contains ancient writings that are not included in most Western Christian Bibles. Among these are the Book of Enoch, with its accounts of angels, Watchers, and cosmic history; Jubilees, a retelling of Genesis and Exodus; and the three books of Meqabyan, which are distinct from the books of Maccabees found in other Christian traditions.
The Ethiopian biblical tradition contains a broader collection of sacred writings than either the Protestant or Catholic Bible and has preserved them primarily in Ge'ez, the ancient liturgical language of the Ethiopian Church.
Of particular importance is the Book of Enoch. Although known and influential in ancient Jewish and early Christian communities, Enoch disappeared from most Christian biblical traditions for centuries. The Ethiopian Church, however, continued to preserve the complete text. In the eighteenth century, Scottish traveler James Bruce brought Ge'ez manuscripts of Enoch from Ethiopia to Europe, reintroducing the work to Western scholars.
In the teachings of The Summit Lighthouse, the preservation of Enoch is seen as divinely orchestrated, safeguarding an important part of spiritual history. Enoch describes the Watchers, rebel angels who descended into physical embodiment and imparted forbidden knowledge to humanity, including warfare, weapons, and sorcery.
The Summit Lighthouse sometimes uses this literal text from the Ethiopian tradition to explain our esoteric concept of "the seed of the wicked" and the spiritual war between Lightbearers and fallen cosmic forces still playing out on Earth today. We use these ancient texts to explain our doctrines about the seven holy archangels, guardian spirits, and cosmic elemental forces.

These accounts provide important background for the Ascended Masters' teachings concerning fallen angels, the spiritual conflict between Lightbearers and fallen forces, and the hierarchy and activity of angels.
Elizabeth Clare Prophet explored the Book of Enoch extensively in “Forbidden Mysteries of Enoch: The Untold Story of Men and Angels” and “Fallen Angels and the Origins of Evil.”

The Ancient of Days
In Chapter 7 of the Book of Daniel, the prophet sees a vision of the Ancient of Days — God Himself seated as the Supreme Judge over human history. The Ancient of Days in his vision represents the eternal, sovereign God whose authority is greater than that of every earthly ruler. Daniel also sees four terrifying beasts, representing powerful kingdoms that rise and eventually fall. The vision contrasts these temporary earthly kingdoms with the eternal kingdom of God, which endures forever. Within traditional biblical understanding, the Ancient of Days is associated with God the Father.

In the Ascended Masters' teachings, the Ancient of Days is Sanat Kumara, the Great Guru of the seed of Christ throughout the cosmos. During the time of the fourth root race, Earth reached a spiritual crisis. The first three root races had fulfilled their spiritual mission and ascended back to God, but humanity of the fourth root race had descended spiritually. The threefold flame—the spark of God within the heart-had gone out in the people of Earth.

Because there were no longer souls embodying the threefold flame, Cosmic Hierarchy determined that Earth could no longer fulfill its spiritual purpose and considered dissolving the planet. Rather than allow Earth and its evolutions to be destroyed, Sanat Kumara volunteered to come from Venus and hold the balance of the threefold flame for humanity.

Sanat Kumara established his retreat at Shamballa and anchored a ray of light from his heart as a thread of contact for each soul evolving upon Earth. Through this connection, he nourished and sustained the divine flame and assisted the Holy Christ Self of each individual to quicken the Christ consciousness. Through Sanat Kumara's presence and sacrifice, humanity was given additional time to awaken, rekindle the divine spark, and fulfill its spiritual destiny. Without his assistance, mankind en masse would have undergone the second death, and the planet itself would have been destroyed.

Sanat Kumara’s mission to Earth stands as an extraordinary act of service: sustaining the divine flame for humanity until mankind could once again sustain that flame for itself.

God’s Covenant With His People – The Davidic Covenant
God’s covenants are sacred promises and binding relationships established between God and humanity. The Davidic Covenant began around 3,000 years ago, about 1000 B.C.

THE DAVIDIC COVENANT – This covenant was made with King David and his royal line. God made an unconditional promise that David’s house, throne, and kingdom would be established forever (2 Samuel 7:12–16). This promise finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, a descendant of David whose kingdom is eternal.
The Davidic Covenant also represents the path of initiation and persecution experienced by the soul of Jesus Christ when he was embodied as David. The preparation of his soul for his final incarnation provides a path that others may follow.

In Psalm 22, David prophetically describes the suffering of the crucifixion, including the words, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”—words Jesus would later speak from the cross.

This represents an initiation for those preparing to pass through the north gate of the City Foursquare and enter the path of the crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. Step by step, the meaning of the crucifixion is revealed in advance so that the eyes of the soul may be opened. In this way, each person can understand the nature of the cup before them and freely choose whether or not to drink it.

The Crystal Cord
The crystal cord is the stream of God's light, life and consciousness that nourishes and sustains the soul and her four lower bodies. It is also called the silver cord inEcclesiastes 12:6. The flow of light between the Spirit of the living God and your soul is over the crystal cord. It is the thread of light and the thread of contact, not only with God but also with all souls ascended in the white light who comprise the Great White Brotherhood. (The terms silver cord and crystal cord are synonymous, being descriptive of men's perceptions of the "umbilical cord" of the soul, tied to and fed by the Spirit.)

The silver cord originates in the Godhead in the Great Central Sun. You can visualize it as a ribbon of light descending down infinity to your mighty I AM Presence, passing through your Christ Self to nourish your soul and your four lower bodies. Everyone who is of God has the magnificent "crystal" cord connecting all planes of his being—heart to heart-to the Sun. This is what Saint John saw as the River of Life.

The silver cord enters the four lower bodies through the crown; its pulsations can be seen physically by observing the soft spot on a baby’s head. Once the silver cord stabilizes the breath and the heartbeat at birth, and the threefold flame is rekindled in the secret chamber of the heart and the child begins to “wax strong in spirit,”[2] the soft spot begins to close over. By the time the child is about two years old, it is no longer visible.
While in the womb, the baby lives by the heart flame and crystal cord of the mother. The moment of the cutting of the umbilical cord—when the Holy Spirit has breathed the breath of Life into the form—is the symbolical moment (and sometimes the actual moment, depending on the correct timing of the cutting of the cord) of the descent of the baby’s own silver cord from the beloved I AM Presence. The baby’s first cry or sound is often indicative of its sudden recognition of the burst of flame in the heart, of the sacred breath infilling the lungs, and of the bodily sensations now keenly felt.
In past ages, this silver cord was as large in diameter as the tube of light, and the stream of energy from your Presence was just magnificent. Men lived to be eight and nine hundred years old[4] because this vital shower, like a Niagara Falls, was pouring Life and Life’s essence into their physical forms. It kept out imperfection. It kept out disease. It maintained their souls’ contact with God.
Then mankind began to abuse the Law. And so, by divine decree reflected in an edict of the Karmic Board, set forth in order to prevent mankind from misusing greater and greater quantities of God’s energy (because we are all accountable for how much energy we use or misuse), God took away this tremendous shower of energy and reduced the silver cord to its present size of about one/sixteenth of an inch.

Padma Sambhava’s Mantra
Padma Sambhava’s Mantra is a sacred 12-syllable mantra. Padma Sambhava was a 8th-century Indian master who brought Buddhism to Tibet. Padma Sambhava is revered throughout the Himalayan countries as the "Precious Guru,” and his followers venerate him as the "second Buddha." His mantra is one of the most revered mantras in Tibetan Buddhism, believed to carry immense power for purification, protection, and spiritual transformation.

For centuries, devotees of Padma Sambhava have received blessings by invoking his mantra, Om Ah Hum Vajra Guru Padma Siddhi Hum. It means: "Padma Sambhava, who arose from a lotus, please grant me the ordinary and supreme accomplishments, HUM!" (A "Vajra Guru" is a being who has fully mastered the path of Vajrayana.)

Padma Sambhava instructed his disciple Yeshe Tsogyal (an embodiment of Guru Ma Elizabeth Clare Prophet) that his mantra should be used to avert the evils of a coming period of great darkness. His devotees have invoked this mantra to create peace and harmony and to antidote the confusion and turmoil of this Dark Age. It is a mantra for the era in which we live, a time of the planetary return of karma. Lord Maitreya has urged us to let Padma Sambhava's mantra ring in our soul and our heart:

“Give the mantra of Padma Sambhava thirty-three times and celebrate your soul's ascent each day to the secret chamber of your heart, to the altar of being. Life is empty when you do not do this. When you do not do it, you do not even know just how empty
your life is. And you do not know how full it can be when and if you enter into the practice of keeping your appointment with Maitreya, with Gautama Buddha, with the bodhisattvas. Give it thirty-three times, beloved ones.”

Jesus’ Teaching on the Law of Cause and Effect
According to the Ascended Masters
The law of cause and effect and of free will is affirmed by Jesus over and over again in his parables and in his warnings to the seed of the wicked. Our Lord speaks often of the day of judgment, which is the day of reckoning of every man’s karmic accounts as recorded in his own book of life. In Matthew 12:35–37, he lectures to the scribes and Pharisees on the law of cause and effect:
A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things [i.e., positive karma]: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things [i.e., negative karma].
But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Jesus says that a man will be justified for his righteous and truthful words and condemned for his unrighteous and untruthful words. The Lord’s grace will save him only if he is obedient to the law of Love—“that ye love one another as I have loved you.”
This law of Love is embodied in the first and great commandment that Jesus taught us:
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
And it is embodied in the second that is like unto it:
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
Jesus said that “on these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” Truly, love is the fulfilling of the law of karma; and our obedience to Love’s calling is our greatest assurance that we will not continue to make negative karma, whose harvest we will surely reap.
In Matthew 25, Jesus illustrates that the final judgment is based on the karma of an active (positive) or an inactive (negative) Christianity. Here works of love (i.e., charity) are the key to salvation. The Lord promises to those who minister unto him even in the person of “one of the least of these my brethren” that they shall inherit the kingdom, whereas to those who do not minister unto him for the very love of Christ in all people, he says:
Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not....
Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
The apostle Paul, in his exhortations to the stubborn Romans, confirms Jesus’ teaching on the wages of karma:
[God] will repay each one as his works deserve. For those who sought renown and honor and immortality by always doing good there will be eternal life; for the unsubmissive who refused to take truth for their guide and took depravity instead, there will be anger and fury. Pain and suffering will come to every human being who employs himself in evil...; renown, honor and peace will come to everyone who does good.... God has no favorites. (Jerusalem Bible)

Michaelmas
Michaelmas is a Christian festival that honors Saint Michael the Archangel. It is celebrated on September 29th in Western Christianity and on November 8 in Eastern traditions. Archangel Michael is honored across the major Abrahamic religions:
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The term Michaelmas is derived from Michael’s Mass. Archangel Michael is known as the leader of heaven's armies who defeated Lucifer and symbolizes the triumph of good over evil. Today, it often broadly honors all archangels.

Archangel Michael challenges us: "Remember, I AM the mountain mover! I move mountains with you. Call to me and see what mountain we together shall remove each day" (Pearls of Wisdom, vol. 36, no. 12).

If you would like to honor Archangel Michael today, you can give decrees and songs to him to celebrate his presence with us and/or give Archangel Michael's Rosary for Armageddon.
