John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy Truth

¹⁷ Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. -John 17:17 Bible, King James Version

 

Sanctification is the act or process of acquiring sanctity, of being made or becoming holy. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanctification) 

 

The Ascended Masters Saint Germain and Jesus

 

Jesus did not teach that Religion or Churches or even the scriptures would set you free. What He did teach was that; "the truth shall make you free." By following the words or Teachings of Jesus and the other Ascended Masters we can learn the Truths necessary to gain our freedom from the cycle of birth and death and become one of the Ascended Masters.

Beloved Jesus explains what He meant by the Statement Know the truth, and the truth shall make you free: "The Goal of your Victory is the Ascension... Because the Western world has not known it, does not alter the Truth, in the slightest. Today, the Truth is before mankind. You have all known the long worn out statement: "Know the Truth and the Truth shall make you Free." What is the Truth? It is the True Understanding of Life!... It is only the Whole Truth which will one day give you the Victory. The Whole Truth is within your own Life, your "Mighty I AM Presence."

The Beloved Mighty Cyclopia teaches regarding the Truth:"You see many people in some of the Religious channels of the World, have a Fragment of the Truth; but they do not understand the Cosmic Law enough, to show mankind the Application necessary, to set That Truth into Service for themselves and for the World. So, We have to come again, and again, and again." ('The Voice of the I AM' August 1948 p12)

Beloved Mighty Helios teaches us: "I trust I may elucidate one of those Magnificent Statements of the Mighty Master Jesus... When He said: "Know the Truth and the Truth shall set you Free," that Statement contains tremendous Wisdom, and few know what It means. Every little fragment of Truth which individuals have contemplated they have imagined He meant by that Statement; but until they know This Truth concerning the Master Authority of the Fire Element thruout all Creation- they do not have the Way and Means of dissolving that which keeps them bound... The Sacred Fire from the Higher Mental Body! There is no Freedom to Life other than thru That Sacred Fire! If you want to know the Truth that sets you Free, then you will have to know, that the DIVINE DESIRES OF YOUR HIGHER MENTAL BODY, are the Master Authority in all your physical conditions. Then That Fire burns out the limitations which have been created by your human desires... The Divine Desire of your Higher Mental Body, is to Expand the Unfed Flame in your Heart into a Greater Unfed Flame... Mankind have gone on century after century, gratifying their own desires of the physical body! Hence have bound themselves in chains, that forever are drawn tighter and tighter about them... The Only Way provided by Life, for the consuming of human mistakes and the frightful torture they have created in this world, is by the Use of the Cosmic Fire... UNTIL MANKIND KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THE SACRED FIRE THEY CAN NEVER be Free. Individuals in your churches and philosophers all thru the centuries, have referred occasionally to the Sacred Fire, but the masses of the people know not what is meant. Your Beloved Saint Germain brought you the detailed Explanation and Use of the Violet Consuming Flame which is One Ray, or One Flame, that I direct from My Thousand Petal Lotus, which appears to you as the Physical Sun! That is the only Way and Means which the Cosmic Law of the whole Universe, provides to This System of Worlds to change outer manifestations that are less than Perfection into Perfection, and then ever expand that Perfection." ('The Voice of the I AM' 1949 January p9-11)

 

John 17:11,26 I have declared unto them thy Name

¹¹ And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. ²⁶ And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. -John 17:11,26 Bible, King James Version

Exodus 3: Moses and the Burning Bush

                         

'Now Moses... came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush... and the bush was not consumed.'

The Angels of the LORD dwell in a world of Flaming Fire which represents Divine Love.

'God called unto him out of the midst of the bush... And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you... And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel... this is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.'

This is probably the Greatest Secret Key hidden in the Bible. There is great Divine Power in the Holy Name of God, "I AM." The Mighty Ascended Master, the Great Divine Director who is Authority over all Life Streams on this earth until they have Ascended, teaches; "The Great Creative Word "I AM" [is] the Most Powerful Word in the Universe." As Jesus demonstrated thru the use of I AM Decrees the Holy Name of God "I AM" can be placed at the beginning of a constructive affirmation to accomplish our goals in life and after death. For example, perhaps the most powerful I AM Decree Jesus used was; "I AM the Resurrection and the Life" (St John 11:25) When we return to our Father in Heaven and stand before Him it is said we will exclaim; "I am That, I AM." In other words, as we stand before our Higher Self, or Mighty I AM Presence, we will realize that this Individualization of God is in fact our own Higher Self the Mighty I AM Presence of God. Jesus of course knew this, which is evident when He said to the Jews such things as; "Before Abraham was, I AM" meaning in fact that before Abraham was born Jesus and all of us existed as an I AM Presence. The reason this Grand Master Key was not taught openly by Jesus was that the people weren't ready for it or especially another Grand Master Key which must be taught with it. This Sacred Fire Key was not permitted to be revealed until the 1930s by one of Beloved Jesus' fellow Ascended Masters Saint Germain. This Secret Key involves using the Violet Consuming Flame, by visualizing or decreeing it, to cleanse ourselves of all our past mistakes or negative karma which we have accumulated over many lifetimes on this earth. If the Holy Fire is the Bridge for the Angels and Gods to our world then it must also be the Bridge for us to enter into their Heavens. Saint Germain represents Freedom to this earth for the next 10,000 years. With regards to Saint Germain Beloved Jesus declares: "I say to the orthodox world... those who cannot accept Saint Germain and the Ascended Masters, will not have My Radiation... In former ages, it was not possible to bring forth the clearness of this understanding which Saint Germain has brought forth today! The Law of the Cosmic Light did not permit it! I brought forth to the world more of the "I AM," than any individual up to the time, when Saint Germain brought this Instruction forth."(The Voice of the I AM 1943 December p7-8)

After Jesus' Resurrection from the dead He appears physically to the Magian priests in Persia and He reveals to them the Holy Name of God:

The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ by Levi H. Dowling

CHAPTER 176.

²²The magian priests were in the silence in Persepolis, and Kas­par, and the magian masters who were first to greet the child of prom­ise in the shepherd’s home in Beth­lehem, were with the priests.

²³And Jesus came and sat with them; a crown of light was on his head.

²⁴And when the silence ended Kaspar said, A master from the royal council of the Silent Brother­hood is here; let us give praise.

²⁵And all the priests and mas­ters stood and said, All hail! What message from the royal council do you bring?

²⁶And Jesus said, My brothers of the Silent Brotherhood, peace, peace on earth; good will to men!

²⁷The problem of the ages has been solved; a son of man has risen from the dead; has shown that hu­man flesh can be transmuted into flesh divine.

²⁸Before the eyes of men this flesh in which I come to you was changed with speed of light from human flesh. And so I am the message that I bring to you.

²⁹To you I come, the first of all the race to be transmuted to the image of the AM.

³⁰What I have done, all men will do; and what I am, all men will be.

³¹But Jesus said no more. In one short breath he told the story of his mission to the sons of men, and then he disappeared.

John 17:5 Pre-existence of Jesus

⁵ And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. -John 17:5 King James Version (KJV)

Before the world was created, in the Pre-existence, we dwelt in heaven with Jesus. We are Eternal Beings created in the image of God, Who is Eternal, therefore at the creation of the earth we all existed and we will continue to exist throughout eternity.

John 17:2-3 This is Life Eternal

As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. -John 17:2-3 Bible, King James Version

We all basically have a Higher Self and a lower self. Our Higher Self is Eternal therefore It already enjoys Eternal Life. On the other hand our lower self is not eternal therefore it continues to re-embody over and over again until it literally becomes one with our Higher Self. "This is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God" or the Mighty I AM Presence which Jesus referred to as His Father in Heaven "and Jesus Christ" the Ascended Master "whom thou"  the Mighty I AM Presence "hast sent."


Mighty Victory teaches us: "...the masses of mankind, until they are taught this Law, do not have permanent Victory! ...Like a pendulum they swing and swing and swing, and never stabilize anywhere; because they cannot, until they know That Glorious Word "I AM"; understand where the "Mighty I AM Presence" is; what It is and what It can do for them. Only then can they see, know and accept the Reality of the Mighty Ascended Masters; the Great Cosmic Beings... Until they know the "Beloved Mighty I AM Presence" and Its Cosmic Law, they are not stabilized within Permanent Happiness nor Perfection." ('The Voice of the I AM' 1951 June p28-29)

The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ by Levi H. Dowling

CHAPTER 8.

 

Elihu’s lessons to Jesus' mother in Egypt

 

¹Again Elihu met his pupils in the sacred grove and said,
⁵There are two selfs; the higher and the lower self.
⁶The higher self is human spirit clothed with soul, made in the form of God.
⁷The lower self, the carnal self, the body of desires, is a reflexion of the higher self, distorted by the murky ethers of the flesh.
⁸The lower self is an illusion, and will pass away; the higher self is God in man, and will not pass away.
⁹The higher self is the embodi­ment of truth; the lower self is truth reversed, and so is falsehood manifest.
¹⁰The higher self is justice, mercy, love and right; the lower self is what the higher self is not.
¹¹The lower self breeds hatred, slander, lewdness, murders, theft, and everything that harms; the higher self is mother of the virtues and the harmonies of life.
¹²The lower self is rich in prom­ises, but poor in blessedness and peace; it offers pleasure, joy and sat­isfying gains; but gives unrest and misery and death.
¹³It gives men apples that are lovely to the eye and pleasant to the smell; their cores are full of bit­terness and gall.
¹⁴If you would ask me what to study I would say, yourselfs; and when you well had studied them, and then would ask me what to study next, I would reply, your­selfs.
¹⁵He who knows well his lower self, knows the illusions of the world, knows of the things that pass away; and he who knows his higher self, knows God; knows well the things that cannot pass away.
¹⁶Thrice blessed is the man who has made purity and love his very own; he has been ransomed from the perils of the lower self and is himself his higher self.

John 16:33 I have overcome the world

³³ These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. -John 16:33 King James Version (KJV)

Beloved Jesus teaches us in this day and age: "When I made the Statement: "I have overcome the world" it meant that I had overcome all habits within My own feeling world of responding to any discordant conditions in the world around Me; and that came about because of My intense feeling of Forgiveness to all Life." ('The Voice of the I AM' 1972 April p6-7)

John 16:25 I have spoken unto you in proverbs

 

²⁵ These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. -John 16:25 King James Version (KJV)
 

              Pope Benedict XVI

  

Jesus openly taught the spiritual children, or those who were not spiritually mature, in parables or symbolic stories. Those who were ready for the deeper spiritual teachings, Jesus shared these with them in private. In this day and age Jesus is able to reveal more of the Truth, or the Fullness of the Gospel, than He was permitted to in His day and age. Different churches and Religions represent varying degrees of Truth like Kindergartens, Primary and Intermediate schools for children, High schools for teenagers and Universities for adults where men and women can receive Masters Degrees. When we learn what the Ascended Masters teach we can put away the limited childish teachings of the orthodox priests so we can learn to become spiritual men or Ascended Masters also.

John 16:23 Ask the Father in my Name

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. -John 16:23

The Beloved Master Jesus teaches us in this day and age: "Remember My Promise, My Instruction, which has come down through the centuries correct: "Ask the Father whatsoever ye will in My Name, and He will give it to you." Therefore, ye who are the Beloved of the Light, fail not to use That Call, because the "Mighty I AM Presence" in the Great Central Sun, is the Father to whom I refer! ...USE MY NAME IF YOU CHOOSE!" ('The Voice of the I AM' 1951, August, p9)

'Now Moses... came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush... and the bush was not consumed.'

'God called unto him out of the midst of the bush... And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you... And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel... this is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.' (Exodus 3:1-2,4,13-15)

John 16:12-13 I have yet many things to say unto you

¹² I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.¹³ Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. -John 16:12-13 Bible, King James Version

 

 

    The Bible - David Baumgaertel

According to the Ascended Masters the Bible only contains about thirty percent of the Truth. This is why it is important to turn to the Masters for the other seventy percent of the Truth otherwise the orthodox Christians of today will be left behind in their spiritual evolution just as the Jewish orthodox Pharisees and Sadducees were left behind two thousand years ago. Many of us I believe rely on a spiritual yardstick to measure whether something taught is true or not. If the yardstick is not accurate then we cannot determine what else is true. Many people use the Bible as their spiritual yardstick however if it only contains about thirty percent of the Truth then it cannot be used as a reliable spiritual measuring stick. I prefer to rely on the Ascended Master’s Teachings as my spiritual yardstick which enable us to recognize the Golden Thread of Truth running through all Religions. As Jesus taught: "The Truth shall make you Free." (Bible, John 8:32) or as Theosophy teaches: There is no Religion higher than Truth. Beloved Jesus teaches in this day and Age: I say to the orthodox world… Those who cannot accept Saint Germain and the Ascended Masters, will not have My Radiation!

John 16:11 The prince of this world

11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. -John 16:11King James Version (KJV)

True Christian Religion #116:3 By Swedenborg

"The world," "the prince of this world," "satan," and "the devil," mean hell.

The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ by Levi H. Dowling

CHAPTER 8.

Elihu’s lessons to Jesus' mother Mary, Joseph and Elizabeth in Egypt:

¹Again Elihu met his pupils in the sacred grove and said... ¹⁷Men seek salvation from an evil that they deem a living mon­ster of the nether world; and they have gods that are but demons in disguise; all powerful, yet full of jealousy and hate and lust; ¹⁸Whose favors must be bought with costly sacrifice of fruits, and of the lives of birds, and animals, and human kind. ¹⁹And yet these gods possess... no power to save. ²⁰This evil is a myth... ²¹The only devil from which men must be redeemed is self, the lower self. If man would find his devil he must look within; his name is self. ²²If man would find his savior he must look within; and when the demon self has been dethroned the savior, Love, will be exalted to the throne of power.

Heaven and its Wonders and Hell From Things Heard and Seen by Emanuel Swedenborg.

311. XXXV. HEAVEN AND HELL ARE FROM THE HUMAN RACE.

In the Christian world it is wholly unknown that heaven and hell are from the human race, for it is believed that in the beginning angels were created and heaven was thus formed; also that the devil or Satan was an angel of light, but having rebelled he was cast down with his crew, and thus hell was formed. The angels never cease to wonder at such a belief in the Christian world, and still more that nothing is really known about heaven, when in fact that is the primary principle of all doctrine in the church. But since such ignorance prevails they rejoice in heart that it has pleased the Lord to reveal to mankind at this time many things about heaven and about hell, thereby dispelling as far as possible the darkness that has been daily increasing... They wish for this reason that I should declare from their lips that in the entire heaven there is not a single angel who was created such from the beginning, nor in hell any devil who was created an angel of light and cast down; but that all, both in heaven and in hell, are from the human race; in heaven those who lived in the world in heavenly love and belief, in hell those who lived in infernal love and belief, also that it is hell taken as a whole that is called the Devil and Satan... The angels said that the Christian world had gathered such a belief about those in heaven and those in hell from some passages in the Word understood according to the mere sense of the letter not illustrated and explained by genuine doctrine from the Word; although the sense of the letter of the Word until illuminated by genuine doctrine, draws the mind in different directions, and this begets ignorance, heresies, and errors.

John 16:7;14:26 The Comforter

                                                                                         C.W. Leadbeater

⁷ Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. -John 16:7 Bible, King James Version

²⁶ But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. -John 14:26 Bible, King James Version
 

According to the Goddess of Music; When Jesus said, "It is expedient that I go away, but I will send you the Holy Ghost, the Comforter, who will bring My Words to your remembrance," He referred to the Lord the Maha Chohan, whose Protection to the Disciples enfolded them. (The Voice of the I AM, March 1944 p32) In his book; The Masters and the Path, C. W. Leadbeater mentions the position of the Maha Chohan in the spiritual Hierarchy of this world: As the Logos [the manifested unity at the head of the hierarchy] is a Trinity [Father, Son and the Holy Ghost] so the Occult [hidden or secret] Government of the world [known as the spiritual Hierarchy or Great White Brotherhood] is in three great departments, ruled by three mighty Officials... They are the Lord of the World [Sanat Kumara,] the Lord Buddha [Gautama] and the Mahachohan. (p284)

John 14:28 My Father is greater than I

²⁸ Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. -John 14:28 Bible, King James Version

Here Jesus points out that His Father in Heaven, or His I AM Presence, was greater than He was.
