'''Братство Хранителей Пламени''' основано в 1961 году [[Special:MyLanguage/Saint Germain|Сен-Жерменом]] и является организацией [[Special:MyLanguage/ascended master|Вознесенных Владык]] и их чела, дающих клятву хранить пламя Жизни на Земле и поддерживать деятельность [[Special:MyLanguage/Great White Brotherhood|Великого Белого Братства]] по учреждению Общины и [[Special:MyLanguage/Mystery school|Школы Таинств]] и по распространению Учений. Хранители Пламени получают поэтапные уроки [[Special:MyLanguage/cosmic law|космического закона]], продиктованные Вознесенными Владыками своим Посланникам [[Special:MyLanguage/Mark L. Prophet|Марку]] и [[Special:MyLanguage/Elizabeth Clare Prophet|Элизабет Профет]]. | |||

Всем тем, кто был готов встать плечом к плечу, чтобы оказать поддержку Вознесенным Владыкам и нашим Посланникам Марку и Элизабет Профет в обнародовании подлинного учения, открытого [[Special:MyLanguage/hierarchy|Иерархией]], Рыцарем-Командором и мной было передано специальное приглашение присоединиться к этой внешней общине Великого Белого Братства.... | |||
Откликнувшиеся - это те, кто в глубине своей души осознал необходимость заново освятить это пламя посредством ежедневных призывов и велений, произносимых во имя [[Special:MyLanguage/I AM Presence|Я ЕСМЬ Присутствия]] и Я Христа всего человечества; это те, кто страстно стремился к постижению [[Special:MyLanguage/alchemy|алхимии]] Духа и работе непосредственно с Сен-Жерменом для осаждения основ [[Special:MyLanguage/golden age|золотого века]]. | |||
Те, кто остался верным своему обязательству, поняли и необходимость содействия распространению учений посредством регулярной финансовой поддержки нашей организации - Саммит Лайтхауза. И в течение этих лет они подтвердили свою верность и свое единство, свою готовность жертвовать, если необходимо, меньшими делами и заботами ради большего дела Братства на Земле, дела, которому их души уже были преданы на небесах.... | |||
Поскольку вы оказываете - сердцем, головой и рукой - регулярную поддержку нашему делу через Братство Хранителей Пламени, мы уполномочены законом алхимии передавать в ваши руки наставление в космическом законе, которое уже заложило основание для вознесения не одного, а целого ряда Хранителей Пламени. Они получают и применяют ежемесячные уроки, написанные Иерархией и предоставляющие, шаг за шагом, определенное знание закона, которое ведет каждого Хранителя Пламени по пути [[Special:MyLanguage/initiation|посвящения]] к двери [[Special:MyLanguage/I AM Presence|Я ЕСМЬ Присутствия]], объявляющего: "Вот, Я ЕСМЬ дверь отворенная, которую никто не может затворить!"... | |||
Хранители Пламени несут ответственность перед духовным правлением братства, возглавляют которое [[Special:MyLanguage/Maha Chohan|Маха Чохан]] - Хранитель Пламени и Рыцарь-Командор Сен-Жермен. В правление входят семь [[Special:MyLanguage/chohan|чоханов]], руководящих раскрытием различных аспектов закона как через опубликованные наставления, так и посредством индивидуального обучения, которое Хранители Пламени получают в эфирных обителях Великого Белого Братства. Во главе специального Комитета по воспитанию детей, образованного для подготовки родителей прибывающих душ и для получения детьми надлежащего воспитания, стоят [[Special:MyLanguage/World Teacher|Мировые Учителя]], [[Special:MyLanguage/Jesus|Иисус]] и [[Special:MyLanguage/Kuthumi|Кутхуми]], вместе с [[Special:MyLanguage/Mother Mary|Матерью Марией]]. | |||
Все, кто поддерживает честь Хранителей Пламени и живет согласно принципам и заветам закона, обнаруживают ускоренное овладение как внутренней, так и внешней дисциплиной, приходящее к ним из живого источника радости и благодарности, который иерархии небес хранят для всех на Земле, кто готов оказать более чем обычную поддержку делу, являющемуся первоочередным для спасения<ref>salvation (self-elevation) - в издании на англ. яз. дается расшифровка слова "salvation" - спасение, как анаграммы слов "self" - само и "elevation" - возвышение. - Прим. пер.</ref> человечества.... | |||
Те, кто верно служит делу Братства, поддерживая Общину Хранителей Пламени, были щедро вознаграждены бесчисленными благодатями. Все до одного, хотя иногда и неведомо для своего внешнего сознания, они получили возможность присутствовать в закрытых классах в обителях Владык, так же как и на наших квартальных конференциях, и уравновесить огромное количество кармы, применяя [[Special:MyLanguage/violet flame|фиолетовое пламя]], приумноженное покровителями братства (членами духовного правления), входящими в непосредственные и близкие отношения с каждым чела, готовым принять требуемое обязательство.<ref>{{CAP-ru}}, Глава 14.</ref> | |||

This is to be called the “KEEPERS OF THE FLAME” because its purpose is to KEEP constantly in mind and heart all that the FATHER, the mighty I AM Presence, has already given into mind, heart and hand, for His glory and the speedy externalization of His Kingdom upon Earth, and in the Hearts of men who are already His embryonic creation! | |||

The requirements of the hour are constancy, harmony, and loyalty! For centuries men have tasted of the treasures of heaven, and for an equal time they have debated, delayed, and strained at the proper use of those same treasures. The heaven that might have manifested long ago upon earth has been delayed solely by man, and through no fault of the Father, whose kingdom is still in the process of coming! Now, today the cosmic wheel has turned almost to the point of no return and it is imperative for all mankind that the necessary unity and other divine qualities be forthcoming with expediency. | The requirements of the hour are constancy, harmony, and loyalty!

This voluntary group of the Faithful is destined, if they will accept it, to be a part of the selective focus from which shall be drawn Beloved Morya’s Diamond Heart (dedicated to the Will of God).

Draw close to Me now, blessed ones, as I take you into My Heart and confide in you a wholly constructive manner, intending only Freedom and God-Good for all on earth: Many of you already know that We have long desired to activate on earth an esoteric organization to faithfully promote Our principles among men, free from commercialization and yet ably financed so as to do the needed with dignity, propriety, and a world-wide outreach. We have also desired to keep such an organization free from human opinion, inharmonies among its leaders (alas, to exclude them from its members, one and all, seems too much to hope for—but We shall)! or a dictatorial attitude on the part of its contributors who ought rather to be wholly dedicated to the ascended masters’ will.

Братство Хранителей Пламени основано в 1961 году Сен-Жерменом и является организацией Вознесенных Владык и их чела, дающих клятву хранить пламя Жизни на Земле и поддерживать деятельность Великого Белого Братства по учреждению Общины и Школы Таинств и по распространению Учений. Хранители Пламени получают поэтапные уроки космического закона, продиктованные Вознесенными Владыками своим Посланникам Марку и Элизабет Профет.
Цели
Эль Мория рассказывает о целях братства:
В январе 1961 года я дал разрешение на создание Братства Хранителей Пламени из круга приверженцев в рамках Саммит Лайтхауза, из тех, кто решил с высшей преданностью посвятить себя пламени жизни и Рыцарю-Командору, Сен-Жермену. Я пригласил всех, кто примет на себя обязательство помогать этому Иерарху эпохи Водолея, участвовать в охватывающей весь мир попытке вовлечь в пламя Святого Духа сыновей и дочерей Бога, которые бы выступили вперед, заявляя свое право на наследство как сонаследники Христосознания....
Всем тем, кто был готов встать плечом к плечу, чтобы оказать поддержку Вознесенным Владыкам и нашим Посланникам Марку и Элизабет Профет в обнародовании подлинного учения, открытого Иерархией, Рыцарем-Командором и мной было передано специальное приглашение присоединиться к этой внешней общине Великого Белого Братства....
Откликнувшиеся - это те, кто в глубине своей души осознал необходимость заново освятить это пламя посредством ежедневных призывов и велений, произносимых во имя Я ЕСМЬ Присутствия и Я Христа всего человечества; это те, кто страстно стремился к постижению алхимии Духа и работе непосредственно с Сен-Жерменом для осаждения основ золотого века.
Те, кто остался верным своему обязательству, поняли и необходимость содействия распространению учений посредством регулярной финансовой поддержки нашей организации - Саммит Лайтхауза. И в течение этих лет они подтвердили свою верность и свое единство, свою готовность жертвовать, если необходимо, меньшими делами и заботами ради большего дела Братства на Земле, дела, которому их души уже были преданы на небесах....
Поскольку вы оказываете - сердцем, головой и рукой - регулярную поддержку нашему делу через Братство Хранителей Пламени, мы уполномочены законом алхимии передавать в ваши руки наставление в космическом законе, которое уже заложило основание для вознесения не одного, а целого ряда Хранителей Пламени. Они получают и применяют ежемесячные уроки, написанные Иерархией и предоставляющие, шаг за шагом, определенное знание закона, которое ведет каждого Хранителя Пламени по пути посвящения к двери Я ЕСМЬ Присутствия, объявляющего: "Вот, Я ЕСМЬ дверь отворенная, которую никто не может затворить!"...
Хранители Пламени несут ответственность перед духовным правлением братства, возглавляют которое Маха Чохан - Хранитель Пламени и Рыцарь-Командор Сен-Жермен. В правление входят семь чоханов, руководящих раскрытием различных аспектов закона как через опубликованные наставления, так и посредством индивидуального обучения, которое Хранители Пламени получают в эфирных обителях Великого Белого Братства. Во главе специального Комитета по воспитанию детей, образованного для подготовки родителей прибывающих душ и для получения детьми надлежащего воспитания, стоят Мировые Учителя, Иисус и Кутхуми, вместе с Матерью Марией.
Все, кто поддерживает честь Хранителей Пламени и живет согласно принципам и заветам закона, обнаруживают ускоренное овладение как внутренней, так и внешней дисциплиной, приходящее к ним из живого источника радости и благодарности, который иерархии небес хранят для всех на Земле, кто готов оказать более чем обычную поддержку делу, являющемуся первоочередным для спасения[1] человечества....
Те, кто верно служит делу Братства, поддерживая Общину Хранителей Пламени, были щедро вознаграждены бесчисленными благодатями. Все до одного, хотя иногда и неведомо для своего внешнего сознания, они получили возможность присутствовать в закрытых классах в обителях Владык, так же как и на наших квартальных конференциях, и уравновесить огромное количество кармы, применяя фиолетовое пламя, приумноженное покровителями братства (членами духовного правления), входящими в непосредственные и близкие отношения с каждым чела, готовым принять требуемое обязательство.[2]
Основание
О создании братства было объявлено в письме Эль Мории от 31 января 1961 года:
I hope soon to take the first step in the broad creation of a Diamond Heart which will later be refined so as to choose the individuals who shall by reason of their constancy and devotion make up the "center" or cells of the Heart of this Heart!...
I AM therefore authorizing the formation of a specially dedicated group within The Summit Lighthouse to be made up of actual members in good standing. This is to be called the “KEEPERS OF THE FLAME” because its purpose is to KEEP constantly in mind and heart all that the FATHER, the mighty I AM Presence, has already given into mind, heart and hand, for His glory and the speedy externalization of His Kingdom upon Earth, and in the Hearts of men who are already His embryonic creation!
To this end actual “CLASS LESSONS” are to be offered to the members of the Keepers of the Flame group, just as soon as they are printed and ready. Regardless of one's station, all those interested in both basic and advanced instruction ought to enroll in this dedicated group of Servers for many reasons. A word to the wise is sufficient.
On March 7, 1961, Saint Germain wrote this letter regarding the fraternity:
A LETTER FROM THE ASCENDED MASTER SAINT GERMAIN CONCERNING:
THE KEEPERS OF THE FLAME
March 7, 1961
Beloved Friends of Freedom:
The requirements of the hour are constancy, harmony, and loyalty! For centuries men have tasted of the treasures of heaven, and for an equal time they have debated, delayed, and strained at the proper use of those same treasures. The heaven that might have manifested long ago upon earth has been delayed solely by man, and through no fault of the Father, whose kingdom is still in the process of coming! Now, today the cosmic wheel has turned almost to the point of no return and it is imperative for all mankind that the necessary unity and other divine qualities be forthcoming with expediency.
In this hour of great testing and decision, I say no peril is so great as to further impede or stop the progress of Ascended Master sponsored activities, as long as there are men and women of faith and good will who will lovingly band together with almost fierce loyalty under the Father’s aegis and our right hand of fellowship to do the cosmic purposed actions that fan the fires of Freedom and keep aloft the torch of God-Liberty.
Recently the Darjeeling Council through the beloved Ascended Master El Morya, my friend and yours, made known the formation of a Spiritual Fraternity composed of dedicated men and women who are willing to put their shoulders, minds and hearts to the wheel of sponsorship in the coordination of the manifold activities under Our direction. This voluntary group of the Faithful is destined, if they will accept it, to be a part of the selective focus from which shall be drawn Beloved Morya’s Diamond Heart (dedicated to the Will of God). Now I AM honored with the first tangible gleams from the hearts of those blessed ones who have accepted with dignity and joy the real privilege of becoming KEEPERS OF THE FLAME!
Beloved Ones, millions have possessed; few have retained their possessions. This is true of the spirit as well as the flesh. To love God is good, but to love Him with dependable constancy is far better! Yet, the slip between the cup and the lip lies in sheer vacillation, for even the downward way seems paved with so-called good intentions. To change this for the better and then the best is Our intention right here where we will continue to supply the Wisdom and God-Direction, if you will make the necessary applications faithfully. Herein lies the saving grace for the earth as well as for man: in conscious unity, faith, constancy and determination, as much your own as my own!
I AM certain no organization on earth can exist without the loyalty and support of its adherents. Our projects are no different in that sense either, but they do differ greatly from human plans in the end results; for Our plans do not and cannot fail to produce perfection whenever called into action by Divine Love. For maximum results, blessed chelas, the Law requires faithfulness, and a full feeling of love and intensity in your application.
Draw close to Me now, blessed ones, as I take you into My Heart and confide in you a wholly constructive manner, intending only Freedom and God-Good for all on earth: Many of you already know that We have long desired to activate on earth an esoteric organization to faithfully promote Our principles among men, free from commercialization and yet ably financed so as to do the needed with dignity, propriety, and a world-wide outreach. We have also desired to keep such an organization free from human opinion, inharmonies among its leaders (alas, to exclude them from its members, one and all, seems too much to hope for—but We shall)! or a dictatorial attitude on the part of its contributors who ought rather to be wholly dedicated to the ascended masters’ will. In the past many have acted impurely from selfish or hidden motives which once prompted Me to exclaim, “O, for ten-thousand scrub-women who will faithfully give to the Cause! With these I will show you how to change the world with Divine Truth!”[3]
You see, by God's Law We can give you our Love, our Power and Illumination; but We cannot precipitate funds to use in spreading Our words the world around. This must come from your octave by Divine Law and those chelas who are both perceptive and faithful will learn the real meaning behind the statement, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
The Keepers of the Flame is intended for multipurpose, constructive action, among these to cut the blessed Summit Lighthouse activity free from dependence on the whims of mankind by banding together those faithful adherents who will keep a steady, dependable flow of the needed finances available to our staff in utter defiance of communism, greed, selfishness, and the hordes of evil. These relentlessly seek to undermine the causes of Freedom and make men forget God at least in deed if not in Word as well, mainly through misplacing attention on human problems instead of directing it to their own Great God Source.
Balanced action is the Law’s requirement, and while in a most practical sense outer supply is essential, inner fortification is equally vital in expanding our Light; hence, the Keepers will give daily attention to decrees and visualizations to assist in expanding Freedom among men. Many thrilling projects are in preparation; these We will reveal in due time. We shall likewise flood your worlds with the Sacred Flame of Love from our hearts, giving you the additional blessing of graded ascended master instruction to help all who are willing to TRY to make progress, looking beyond past mistakes to the glory of God that will uplift all men into the fullness of light’s Perfection.
As you “mark time” as a Keeper of the Flame, you will find yourself the recipient of a “measured beat” from God’s heart and ours, for we number among our band “out there” those who serve with “joy to the world,” the causes of Freedom for all the earth!

And Saint Germain says, ‘I’m standing for the people.’ This teaching is for the people and it’s not for the manipulators.” —Ed.
