"Elia nousee taivaaseen tulisissa vaunuissa", Giuseppe Angeli

Ylösnousemuksen rituaalissa sielu yhdistyy uudelleen elävän Jumalan Hengen, MINÄ OLEN Läsnäolon kanssa. Ylösnousemuksessa huipentuu sielun Jumal-voittoisa oleskelu ajassa ja paikassa. Tämä vanhurskaiden palkinto on Jumalan lahja viimeisen tuomion jälkeen suuren valkoisen valtaistuimen edessä, jossa jokainen ihminen tuomitaan "tekojensa mukaan".

Ylösnousemuksen kokivat Henok, josta kirjoitetaan, että hän "vaelsi kuuliaisena Jumalalle, sitten häntä ei enää ollut, sillä Jumala otti hänet luokseen",Elia, joka nousi tuulenpyörteessä taivaaseen, ja Jeesus, vaikka hänen ylösnousemuksensa ei tapahtunutkaan juuri sinä hetkenä, kun Raamatussa kerrotaan, kuinka pilvi vei hänet taivaaseen. Ylösnoussut mestari El Morya on paljastanut, että Jeesus teki ylösnousemuksensa Shamballasta sen jälkeen, kun hänen aikansa siinä elämässä oli täyttynyt Kashmirissa 81 vuoden iässä vuonna 77 jKr.

Ylösnousemuksessa tapahtuva uudelleen yhdistyminen Jumalan kanssa on elämän päämäärä Jumalan pojille ja tyttärille. Ylösnousemus merkitsee karman ja jälleensyntymisen kierrosten päättymistä ja paluuta Herran kirkkauteen. Jeesus sanoi: "Kukaan ei ole noussut taivaaseen, paitsi hän, joka on taivaasta tänne tullut: Ihmisen Poika." Pelastuksen (salvation), 'Minänsä kohottamisen' (’Self-elevation’) kautta – eli kohottaessaan tietoisesti Jumalan Pojan temppelissään – sielu pukee ylleen häävaatteensa ja täyttää näin Ihmisen Pojan (Son) aseman (Auringon (Sun) eli Valon aseman). Jeesuksen armosta sielusta tulee kelvollinen hänen ristinsä ja kruununsa kantamiseen. Kun sielu seuraa Jeesuksen vihkimyspolkua, sielu nousee Kristusminän kautta Herransa eli MINÄ OLEN Läsnäolon luo, josta sielu aikoinaan laskeutui.

Fyysinen ylösnousemus

Ylösnousseet mestarit opettavat, että sielun ylösnousemukseen ei vaadita fyysisen kehon ylösnousemusta. Sielu itse voi paeta kuolevaisesta vyyhdistä ja siirtyä taivaaseen ylösnousemusprosessin kautta, kun taas fyysiset jäännökset voidaan luovuttaa pyhään tuleen tuhkausrituaalin kautta. Vaikka pyhissä kirjoituksissa on mainittu fyysisiä ylösnousemustapauksia (Henok ja Elia), fyysinen ylösnousemus edellyttää 95-100 prosentin karman tasapainottamista. Sen sijaan Vesimiehen aikakauden erivapauden eli dispensaation aikana Suuri Laki vaatii, että karmasta tasapainotetaan 51 prosenttia, ja loput 49 prosenttia sielu voi tasapainottaa ylösnousemuksensa jälkeen. Näin ollen ylösnousemusprosessi ei miltei koskaan ole fyysinen. Silti se on yhtä todellinen, ja sen voivat havaita selvänäkijät tai ne, jotka Pyhä Henki on kohottanut aistien ulkopuoliseen havaitsemiseen.

Kun tapahtuu fyysinen ylösnousemus, ylösnousseen mestarin valokeho muuntaa ja korvaa fyysisen kehon. Ylösnousemusrituaalin aikana sielu puetaan pysyvästi tähän kehoon, jota kutsutaan myös "häävaatteeksi" tai kuolemattomaksi aurinkokehoksi. Serapis Bey kuvaa tapahtumaa teoksessaan Ylösnousemus:

The flame above (in the heart of the Presence) magnetizes the flame below (the threefold flame within the heart) and the wedding garment descends around the silver cord to envelop the lifestream of the individual in those tangible and vital essence currents of the ascension. Tremendous changes then take place in the form below, and the four lower bodies of man are cleansed of all impurities. Lighter and lighter grows the physical form, and with the weightlessness of helium the body begins to rise into the atmosphere, the gravitational pull being loosened and the form enveloped by the light of the externalized glory which man knew with the Father “in the beginning.”... The individual ascends, then, not in an earthly body but in a glorified spiritual body into which the physical form is changed on the instant by total immersion in the great God flame.

In a dictation given October 2, 1989, the ascended master Rex told us that those who are called to the physical ascension must have had many thousands of years of preparation. Today most people whose souls qualify for the ritual of the ascension ascend from inner levels after the soul has departed the physical body. The soul attains union with the Mighty I AM Presence to become a permanent atom in the Body of God just as she does in a physical ascension.

Requirements for the ascension

Purity, discipline and love are requirements for the ascension, for in these virtues the Law is satisfied: purity of consecration, of heart and mind and soul; discipline of motive and desire; transparent thoughts, feelings and acts, shining in the crystal-clear stream of consciousness flowing back to its Source.

Purity is the discipline of directing all of one’s energies in loving action. Purity is going all the way with Christ. It is ministering to the poor in spirit. It is healing the sick and raising the dead. It is submitting to the tests of the Great Initiator. It is surrendering totally and praying without ceasing.

To be pure in the discipline of the Law is to “love the Lord thy God” with one’s total being, to “love thy neighbor” as one in whom the Christ Self lives, and to love the Christ in every ascended being with enough devotion so that one can put behind him the things of the world and say, “What is that to me? I will follow thee!”

The ritual of the ascension is the goal for everyone who understands his reason for being. This initiation can and will come to anyone—even to a little child, when he is ready:

• when he has balanced his threefold flame
• when his four lower bodies are aligned and functioning as pure chalices for the flame of the Holy Spirit in the world of form
• when a balance of mastery has been achieved on all of the rays
• when he has attained mastery over sin, sickness and death and over every outer condition
• when he has fulfilled his divine plan through service rendered to God and man
• when he has balanced at least 51 percent of his karma (that is, when 51 percent of the energy given to him in all of his embodiments has either been constructively qualified or transmuted)
• and when his heart is just toward both God and man and he aspires to rise into the never-failing light of God’s eternally ascending Presence.

The ascension process also involves the passing of those initiations given at Luxor:

• the transmutation of the electronic belt
• the correct use of the chakras and the caduceus
• the raising of the Seed Atom (the Kundalini)
• and the building of the cone of fire for the transmutation of the last vestiges of one’s human creation.

Originally, the complete balancing of personal karma was required before a man could return to the heart of God. Every jot and tittle of the Law had to be fulfilled; every erg of energy he had misqualified throughout all of his incarnations had to be purified before he could ascend. Perfection was the requirement of the Law.

Now, however (thanks to the mercy of God dispensed by the Lords of Karma), the old occult law has been set aside. Those who have balanced only 51 percent of their debts to life can, by divine decree, be given the great blessing of the ascension. This does not mean that man can escape the consequences of his acts, nor does it imply that through the ascension he can evade any unfulfilled responsibilities. This dispensation does, however, enable man to obtain the freedom and perfection of the ascended state more quickly in order that he may from that plane of consciousness balance all remaining debts to life.

Then, when the Great Law has been fulfilled and 100 percent of the energies allotted to him since he came forth from the heart of God have been qualified with perfection, he can proceed on the high road of cosmic adventure and service in the eternally perfect reunion of man with God.
