Lecture Notes for Part 14

The Ascension is the Goal of Life

• The ascension as the goal of life. We have been told that we can ascend at the conclusion of this life.
• There is an hour marked for the return for every soul, and for each and every soul it is a different hour.
• There is a cosmic timetable for your return. You might ask yourself Am I on schedule for my ascension?
• The Maha Chohan, the ascended master who works with the Holy Spirit, says:

  We have in our calendars the day and date of your ascension. And even if you have not yet balanced 51 percent of your karma, we have your names. We have written on them "candidate for the ascension," because we know and believe that you can attain to this glory. Now, beloved, it is up to you.

  [The Maha Chohan, May 26 1996 Pearls of Wisdom Vol. 46 No. 21 May 25, 2003]
• How do you know that you are a candidate for the ascension? Your soul knows
• Do I have to go somewhere to make my ascension? You can make your ascension from anywhere

Examples of Those Who Have Ascended

• People are ascending from the Summit Lighthouse.

Clara Louise Kieninger

• Clara Louise Kieninger ascended from Berkeley California in 1970.
• She saw the burdens of the youth and prayed fervently for them for many hours a day. When she passed on, she made her ascension from Berkeley, California, for she desired to give her entire causal body to those youth who had been led astray.
• Clara Louise Kieninger lived from 1883-1970. In 1961 Saint Germain anointed her as the first Mother of the Flame of the Keepers of the Flame Fraternity.
• For years she had devotedly served in the field of nursing, taking as her motto Ich Dien (I serve).
• Later, as a dedicated student of the ascended masters, Clara Louise kept a daily prayer vigil for the youth of the world, the incoming children and their parents and teachers.
• She would begin every morning at five and decree for two to four hours, and sometimes till noon. Her prayers made a tremendous difference to many souls.
• She made her ascension at the age of 87 from Berkeley, California, on October 25, 1970.
• She is the twin flame of the ascended master Amen Bey, who works closely with Serapis Bey in the Ascension Temple at Luxor, Egypt.
• She wrote her memoirs in her book called Ich Dien: The Compelling Memoirs of Clara Louise Kieninger, edited and compiled by Elizabeth Clare Prophet.

Ruth Hawkins

• Ruth Hawkins ascended in 1998. She was a long time member of the organization.
• The Messenger has known Ruth Hawkins for many, many decades, from their earliest years of serving together. And she was present on a number of occasions in the final hours of Ruth Hawkins' sojourn on earth.
• Ruth bore burdens of great, great severity in her final illness. This happened to many devotees of light around the world who desired to balance more karma before they made their ascension. The Messenger would speak to Ruth by telephone and comfort her, and the Messenger felt that this was a great, great privilege.
• Ruth's desire to win her ascension enabled her to follow a path of strict oneness with her twin flame. Her twin flame was Paul the Venetian. Ruth was an artist and she has painted many of the paintings in our organization.
• And her great victory came about because she determined to master a certain style of art and she placed that art upon canvas for all to see.
• When twin flames come together, there is a tremendous energy and a tremendous manifestation, as that wholeness is almost the equivalent of a central sun whose two halves have come together, nevermore to be apart.
• Pearls of Wisdom Vol. 41 No. 11 Beloved Paul the Venetian and Ruth Hawkins March 15, 1998

Patricia Johnson

• Patricia Johnson, a long-time keeper of the flame and staff member, passed away on Friday, November 8, 1996. At the memorial service held for her on November 15, the messenger explained that Patricia had served faithfully on the fourth ray and that at the conclusion of her life she was greeted by Serapis Bey, who took her directly to his retreat at Luxor, Egypt.
• The messenger later reported that Patricia had ascended from Luxor on December 13, 1996.
• The ascension is the wedding ceremony of the reunion of the soul with the Christ, the Holy Christ and the Mighty I AM Presence and with the twin flame. At Patricia's service Mother described a vast antechamber at Serapis Bey's Retreat where many brides of Christ attend the one who is making their ascension. These brides are also candidates for the ascension at some future time.

You Ascend Daily

• The master Lanello tells us that we ascend daily.
• It is like mounting a flight of steps. You know not the count, for the steps represent each step that must be taken in life.
• How to ascend is to arrive at the top step at the end of this embodiment.
• You cannot leap the flights or the spirals and turns, beloved. And you do not know how many steps you must take, for each one of you is at a different place on this staircase.
• Since you do not know the end or the beginning, you must keep on keeping on.
• You must take a step a day, a day being a cycle of an initiation that might [endure for] weeks or months. [Pearls of Wisdom, Vol. 35 No. 10, Lanello, March 8, 1992]
• He makes the point that the work that you do each day has everything to do with the tests that you have in life.
• God will bring you what it is that you need in the things that happen to you each day

What Can I Do To Become a Candidate for the Ascension?

1. The beginning and the ending of the Path is the merciful heart
2. Forgive when you feel you have been unjustly wronged
3. It is yours to forgive and it is God's to bring justice
4. Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord; I will repay
5. As you forgive what you think is the unforgivable act, God forgives you what may also be the unforgivable act
5. Pursue the expansion of the heart
1. You cannot get into the temple of Serapis Bey, you cannot be a candidate unless you will pursue the expansion of the heart.
2. The heart will not expand unless you extend mercy to every part of life and leave the rest to God.
6. Pray for your enemies
1. When the Christ enters your temple, you gain steady, permanent mastery and the dweller can never come back
2. The entities cannot come back.
3. If you cast them out but do not fill that void or vacuum with light, then a worse thing will come unto you
7. Have a pure and merciful heart

1. Without love, you cannot please the Law
2. Carry the flame of Kuan Yin
3. Kuan Yin is the key to the solution of all problems
8. Do not get top-heavy on dweller calls
1. We cannot solve all our problems in one night by giving fifty dweller calls
2. The dweller meshes with your consciousness and the astral body
3. It is a part of you until you disassociate from it
4. You can't disassociate from it until a certain portion of your Christhood has entered your temple
