ASCENDED MASTERS Padrepio-1

A spiritual order of Western saints and Eastern masters ~

Ascended masters are enlightened spiritual beings who once lived on earth. Over the course of many lifetimes of devotion and striving, they fulfilled their mission and reason for being - their Divine plan and ascended back to their Divine source, reuniting with spirit. Though they once had physical bodies, they now dwell in the Heaven world, or etheric octave and have bodies of light. They come from every era, culture, religion and are united in what is called the 'Great White Brotherhood'. The term white has nothing to do with race but refers to the tremendous white light/aura surrounding their forms.

When ascended beings are entirely free of negative karma, they can choose where in the universe they would like to serve. They may choose to continue evolving with earth or move onto other worlds. Many have chosen to stay connected with souls on earth to guide them on the path of soul development and self-transcendence, which they themselves have fully achieved.

They are the true teachers of mankind, directing the spiritual evolution of all those who desire to reunite with Divine consciousness/God. The ascended masters work with us to show us the way to peace, truth and enlightenment. Some have spiritual retreats in the etheric octave surrounding the earth where we can go to study. We can travel to these retreats in our spiritual or etheric bodies while our physical bodies are asleep.

The angels and *Elohim* also have etheric retreats where we can go to receive infusions of light, healing, blessing, correction and instruction that will help us in our daily life and in fulfilling our unique mission, our divine plan. Eight of the ascended masters working most closely with mankind are called *Chochans of the rays*

*Elohim ~ Powerful beings who preside over the star systems, planets and all physical life evolving in the universe, especially elementals (nature spirits). They carry the greatest concentration and highest vibration of light that we can comprehend.

*Chochan ~ Lord or master.

Chochans precide over the 7 rays. Each has specialized in applying the qualities of their ray throughout their many incarnations on earth, and they can instruct us in how to gain our self-mastery on that ray. Though we all have natural preferences and tendencies that draw us towards 1 or 2 of the rays, each of us must develop a certain level of attainment on each of the 7 rays in order to make our ascenscion.

The 7 Chochans and their rays are ~

El Morya ~ on the 1st ray of God's will

Lanto ~ on the 2nd ray of illumination

Paul the Venetian ~ on the 3rd ray of love

Serapis Bey ~ on the 4th ray of purity

Hilarion ~ on the 5th ray of truth and healing

Lady Nada ~ on the 6th ray of peace

St. Germain ~ on the 7th ray of freedom

The Maha Chochan is the head of the 7 Chochan
