Be perfect even as your father in heaven is perfect. – Matthew 5:48, (KJV)

A Primer/what I have learned so far…

Masters exist -

It is thought that those who transcend the personality and the passions find the consciousness of the Higher Self. Could this be because even though man has been given reason he still does not know how to use it to achieve this?

He turns to the Sacred Scriptures. He believes them to correspond to the Four Initiations of Life and that he must absorbs what he learns as he passes through the experiences of:

• The Physical (Earth)
• The Emotional (Water)
• The Mental (Air)
• The Higher Planes (Fire)

The teachings proposing this can be found in Kabbalistic texts and also in Sanskrit. One who has mastered these four ways is considered a Pure One – a Perfected One – a Mahatma-a or Master.

For man, reaching Mastery does not mean that the ‘written’ Sacred Scriptures have been read and understood. There are the unspoken scriptures that do not appear on paper for they are the scriptures that can only be formed in the hearts of men and the Mind of God. The man who has passed through the flames of life has seen the emptiness of carnal things for these things are transitory in nature and now understands the higher complexities.

The Law of a Master is, “be perfect as your father in heaven is perfect.” When all the studying, contemplating and experiences are accomplished, man can rise above the necessity for earthly lessons and becoming free from bonds reaches Nirvana.

Within this state of consciousness, man becomes all there is and at one with all that exists. He is at one with God and has no earth lessons left to finish. He has attained the ultimate goal set before humanity and is eligible to pass into higher realms and enter a new order of beings OR he may remain on Earth in the service of his fellow man. He goes out in the world as a disciple doing the work of God, his Master, seeking to bring truth to the materialistic world. He has also learned the value of Sacred Silence the key of discernment.

In the most Ancient times, the world was not overburdened with literature and there was certainly no media. The Ancient Alchemists spoke of a mysterious substance that had no name. It was said to be the most inexpensive quantity on Earth yet it could not be bought. It was given for nothing. It was and is called Grace. Grace opens man to an even wider and broader field of consciousness and brings about the perfect unity known as at-one-ment. This condition or plane is known in the East as Buddhic and known in the West as Cosmic Consciousness.

Once exposed to this state, all doubts and fears are dispelled, the purpose of life is known as is the reason. There is no death, no destruction – only change and transformation.

These truths were known to all initiates in Ancient times and they come to us to renew a doubting world. They are real and they are true.

Be silent, listen, have faith and stand in grace.

Wait for the Master to call.

You are within the Mastering.
