What is an Ascended Master?
“An Ascended Master is an individual who once was embodied here on Earth and gained mastery of this plane. He passed certain initiations, became more God-like, and therefore, did not have to come back into embodiment. Then, after having ascended into his spiritual body, called the I AM Presence, the Master made the voluntary choice of remaining on Earth to help mankind.” (Schroeder, 2005) The Ascended Masters are individuals who have utilized their light on behalf of the Universal Good, and they radiate their blessings to the entire human race.
What is a Cosmic Being?
“A Cosmic Being (such as the Cosmic Being Victory) is an Ascended Master who embodies a particular virtue (such as victorious accomplishment and who has chosen to assist on one or more planets. Since the time of the First New Age Dispensation, in 1930, Ascended Masters have been working more closely with mankind, in an effort to save the planet.” (Schroeder 2005) The term “Cosmic Being” refers to an Ascended Being who, in addition to performing certain functions here on Earth, has additional obligations on other planets, as well.
What is the meaning of GOD and LORD?
“The titles “God” and “Lord” are used as titles of respect. The word “God” and “Goddess” indicates a Being who has made the ascension and who has become ONE with God in action. The title “Lord” signifies an Ascended Being who is an authority on the knowledge and mastery of Cosmic Law.” (Schroeder 2005) In essence we use the term God or Lord out of respect.
What does the Great White Brotherhood mean?
“The Great White Brotherhood was founded millions of years ago by Sanat Kumara. It is comprised of a team of Ascended Beings, who are all specialists along some particular line of spiritual service and endeavor. They consist of representatives of the human, angelic and elemental kingdoms. Members of the Brotherhood live only to serve God. They have forsworn serving in the spheres of beauty and perfection, sometimes called “Nirvana,” or “Heavenly Bliss,” and have remained “prisoners of love” in order to assist the struggling mankind of Earth. Some individuals, who are now Ascended Masters, came from other planets, as guardian spirits for the human race. Some of them were already ascended; some gained the ascension at a later time, while serving on this planet.” (Schroeder 2005) The Great White Brotherhood has increased in strength and numbers through the centuries, until almost all of the cosmic guardians and spiritual protectors have had their places filled by the dedicated men and women of the human race; and even the office of Sanat Kumara will soon be assumed so that he, too, may return to his own cosmic home.
What does the Ascended Master do?
”As an Ascended Being of pure light, the Master is free from the gravity pull of Earth. He may travel within this galaxy and move through space, at will, by his own intelligence, directed through his own thoughts and feelings. Just before Christmas, the Cosmic Highways are opened to them, enabling the Masters to travel beyond this galaxy. Before 1930, the path leading to becoming an Ascended Master was much more difficult. Under the Occult Law there was not permitted the tremendous assistance which is now being given students. The students on the path had to hide in caves, or in some secluded place, and there try to draw forth the actions of the Sacred Fire, without the knowledge of their own I AM Presence, the Violet Flame, or the prompting of the Ascended Ones. They had to experiment with what they could draw forth, having to rely solely on the prompting of the flame in their own hearts, as to whether they were on the right track or had gotten into black magic.” (Schroeder, 2005) When you think of the sacrifices of the student during that time frame, it was deeply rooted in the old occult law which was made up of secrecy and any one learning the occult law had to go through a lot to make the ascension.
“Beloved Maha Chohan said, “When the Ascended Masters choose life streams who, they hope, will assist them in carrying out the divine plan for the planet, they are limited by the fact that they may only take volunteer workers. They cannot go to a university and place their fingers upon likely members of the race, but must await the voluntary offering of some lifestreams to the work of serving humanity, which is, in most cases, a thankless as well as a tedious task.” (Printz, 1995) It would be a necessary effort on the part of each individual to make an effort to volunteer to help the Ascended Masters.
Can anybody be an Ascended Master?
“All through the ages, an individual seeking the teachings of the Ascended Masters could spend an entire lifetime just in pilgrimage to one focus of light, or to a Master somewhere on Earth. He might get there and he might not. The Maha Chohan confided to the students of the Bridge to Freedom, that in a former embodiment, before his ascension, he made a pilgrimage to Lord Himalaya, in the Himalayan Mountains, but was unsuccessful. Ascended Lady Master Nada, before her ascension, at one time was unable to pass the severe initiations in the Temple of Luxor and left the retreat. After 1930, due to the dispensations granted to the Cosmic Being Victory, and to the Ascended Master Saint Germain, it is now much easier to gain the ascension and become an Ascended Master. Under the dispensation granted to the Cosmic Being Victory, the Ascended Host was able to present its teachings to mankind, in clear terms, for the first time in 80,000 years. Under the dispensation granted to the Ascended Master Saint Germain, the knowledge of the I AM Presence and the Transmuting Violet Flame could also be given for the first time, outside of an Ascended Master Retreat and the Ascended Host were able to present their teachings in clear terms, free from legends and parables. Now the Masters are coming to the students, instead, giving assistance and instruction through the dictations given through authorized messengers. The Ascended Masters and Cosmic Beings are the directing intelligence of the Godhead. They work together as a team. They are God’s helpers. There is a great God-Being in charge of every department of life. Some work with individual mankind, others with groups, nations, the elemental kingdom and nature. Others work with the angelic host, but each is a specialist in his or her particular field of service.” (Schroeder, 2005) The Ascended Masters and Cosmic Beings are assisting the planet with their assistance and instructions through the many messengers and other materials that have been given to us for the benefit of teaching the students.
Ascended Masters Assist Mankind
According to the Ascended Masters and their retreats, “The Ascended Masters are REAL AND TANGIBLE BEINGS, ready to assist mankind, PROVIDED THEY ARE ASKED TO DO SO. The Masters ask to be recognized as a potential force for the common good of mankind, but they do not demand obedience and do not ask to be worshipped. The Ascended Host is supporting mankind’s prayers, invocations and decrees. The Ascended Masters, through the ages, have protected mankind in many ways. They helped mankind from destroying themselves through new inventions and the use of destructive power, machines and weapons. It may be likened to the protection of children by their parents or guardians, who keep them from a hot stove to avoid their burning themselves. Yet Ascended Masters have not been able to prevent wars, since mankind has the use of free will. When mankind is bent on destroying each other, a Master may not interfere. Some Ascended Beings have served and worked for mankind’s benefit, unknown to them, through centuries, and are only now being given any recognition. Ascended Masters strive to generate, in the students, the FEELING OF THE REALITY of their existence, which is more than having an abstract concept of it. While the Masters of Wisdom are rendering service they are also developing spiritually, themselves. There is always a greater consciousness to achieve, and no matter how high a spiritual development a Being attains, there is always a teacher serving in a higher capacity. The service of this spiritual order is to teach interested students Cosmic Law, whereby, with sufficient self-application, they may gain mastery and finally, the ascension.” (Schroeder 2005) When we think about the necessary help and assistance that the Ascended Masters have helped this planet and all within it, they have supported us by answering our prayers, invocations and decrees which is a tool that needs to be utilized through the students of today.
Plans for the Ascended Masters
According to William Schroeder, “As part of this goal, the Great White Brotherhood endeavors to train master teachers for the development of the human race, and to show each individual the road back to the Heavenly Father. In doing so, the Great White Brotherhood is limited by several factors: 1. The help to mankind must be warranted and consciously invited. 2. THE HELP IS SUBJECT TO THE COSMIC LAWS APPLYING TO THIS PLANET. These laws must be obeyed; any deviation therefrom must be approved by the Karmic Board. There must be a very good reason given in order to obtain a variance. 3. In order to accomplish its purpose, the Great White Brotherhood is given a cosmic stockpile of energy, on the average of once every 100 years. This stockpile is then used to contact an individual who will act as a messenger and will thus provide a bridge from the human realm to the divine. The messenger will convey, to mankind, the ongoing activities of the Brotherhood and will give out new explanations and additional details of Cosmic Law. Most of the Ascended Beings listed in this book gave discourses to the students of the Bridge to Freedom, through the authorized messenger, Geraldine Innocente.” (Schroeder, 2005) It is through the Cosmic Law that the Great White Brotherhood can assist the development of the human race with limitation being approved by the Karmic Board.
BECOMING AN ASCENDED MASTER TODAY
According to William Schroeder, “The Great White Brotherhood is not an organization that functions on the physical plane. Only by living and expressing the perfection of the heavenly realms, on the physical plane, through self-correction of human weaknesses, by full adoration of the Divine Self, within, and by performing much impersonal service, can an individual draw himself into association with the Brotherhood. The Ascended Host directs the attention of the chela, but it is up to the student to make the right choices. No individual has ever made the ascension without the assistance of an Ascended Master. The New Age is to be the ERA OF FREEDOM. What does freedom mean to mankind? It means removing oneself from human tendencies and discord. Real freedom comes through APPLYING THE TEACHINGS and supporting the plan of the Ascended Host, in its PURE ORIGINAL FORM. The Ascended Masters stated that anyone who STUDIES AND APPLIES their teaching, on a daily basis, using a MAXIMUM OF SELF-EFFORT, may gain the ascension in this embodiment. Applying the teachings means giving decrees, studying the teachings of the Ascended Host, including using the Violet Flame, all on a daily basis. (See “21 ESSENTIAL LESSONS” and “AMTF SONGS AND DECREES.”) In addition, the student seeking the ascension should contribute some impersonal service, such as joining a decree group or establishing such a group. All this may sound rather difficult to accomplish, but we should remember that, in many previous embodiments, we have accumulated much karma. Therefore, it will take a maximum effort to redeem this karma. The Ascended Host promised us that every sincere student, making the necessary SELF-EFFORT and applying the teachings on a daily basis, will gain the ascension IN THIS EMBODIMENT.” (Schroeder 2005) If we apply the teachings of the Ascended Masters daily, we may all gain the ascension in this embodiment. We must study and apply the teachings accordingly.

THE HIERARCHY OF THE EARTH
The Hierarchy of the Earth consists of the Cosmic Hierarchy and the Planetary Hierarchy.
The Cosmic Hierarchy consists of the Cosmic Silent Watcher, the Intelligences governing the Central Sun and the Sun, the Archangels and the Elohim.
The Planetary Hierarchy consists of the Planetary Silent Watcher, the Karmic Board, the Lord of the World, the offices of the Buddha, the Manus of the seven rootraces, the World Teacher, the Maha Chohan and the Seven Chohans.
THE COSMIC BEINGS ALPHA AND OMEGA GOD
“The great “I AM,” is the creator and giver of all life in the universe. His powers, abilities and consciousness are beyond human comprehension. To know God and to know how he operates, is the work of eternity. A galaxy is composed of a Central Sun and several planetary systems. There are Cosmic Beings who govern several galaxies. Such intelligence is called the Superior Sun of the Galaxy of Galaxies.” (Schroeder, 2005) The great “I Am” is so powerful that most people don’t realize that his marvelous works exceed our human understanding.
“The foci of the Godhead of our galaxy and planetary system are the Central Sun (governed by Alpha and Omega) and our Sun (governed by Helios and Vesta).” (Shroeder, 2005) Most people don’t pay homage to one of God’s creation which is our Central Sun of our galaxy. We arise to this sun each day and the beautiful light force energy that it emanates upon our planet is amazing.
“The Beings Alpha and Omega are the supreme authority governing our galaxy. They direct the activities of the Central Sun and they administer Cosmic Law, as it applies to this galaxy. It was Alpha and Omega who directed elemental light substance in the form of electrons to Helios and Vesta, who are the authority for the planetary system of which our Earth is part.” (Schroeder, 2005) The activities of the Great Central Sun are governed by Alpha and Omega who are the Supreme Beings of our Galaxy.
“Helios and Vesta direct the activities of our sun. A sun is the life-giving and life-sustaining element of a planetary system. Our Earth is part of a galaxy, which is composed of a Central Sun and several planetary systems. Each planetary system consists of one sun and several planets. Each sun is governed by two intelligences, one male and one female. It is the nature of God to allow his children the opportunity of becoming co-creators with him. In order to fulfill this goal, planets are created.” (Schroeder, 2005) Our planetary system is directed by the divine beings, Helios and Vesta.
“A planet serves to give different forms of life, namely mankind, angels and elemental life of the four elements (air, earth, fire and water), opportunity for self-expression and growth. Each planet is governed by a Hierarchy, which administers Cosmic Law as it applies to the planet. The Hierarchy of our planet is explained in more detail in the series “21 ESSENTIAL LESSONS.”” (Schroeder, 2005) This planet is governed by a Hierarchy.
“Love is the key. Through love, every sun and planet is projected forth at just the right distance. Through love, every galaxy is held within its orbit around a central focus, as it rushes through space with lightning-like speed, toward a destiny known only by the Godhead. All creation follows Cosmic Law and a precisely predetermined general pattern. There is no natural selection by chance or random, as some natural scientists lead us to believe. Each component of a galaxy, therefore, evolves on a pattern of life, which is a succession of experiences, governed by free will. In an effort to implement the divine plan for the Earth, Alpha and Omega allowed forty-nine Avatars to bless this planet with the teachings of the Great White Brotherhood.” (Schroeder, 2005) When we ourselves realize that we must go inward to reach the trueness of self and usher in the LOVE ENERGY to our Mighty I Am Presence, we will then gain the key to ascension.
Karmic Board
According to William Schroeder, “The last Avatar was beloved Jesus. Unfortunately, sooner or later, the followers of the various Avatars digressed from the original teaching, insisting on impressing their own imprint upon the teaching. This, to a large extent, applies to today’s situation. Fortunately, a few individuals, throughout the ages, kept to the original teachings, therefore enabling a continuation of the connection of the outer consciousness of embodied mankind with the ascended hierarchy of this planet. There were times when only ONE embodied individual kept the faith, yet it was enough.” This example shows clearly that quality of consciousness is more important than the number of students.
“When it meets at six month intervals, at the Teton Retreat, the Karmic Board decides upon petitions, requested by Ascended Beings and chelas. The rules enforced by Alpha and Omega are very strict and they are observed in minute detail by the Karmic Board, which acts as a representative of the Cosmic Law for this planet. A good reason must be presented to the Karmic Board for any deviation from Cosmic Law. This is done by a petition from the Ascended Masters, or their chelas. Generally speaking, those petitions which are supported by the largest amount of energy will be approved. A petition, worthwhile as it may be, that is not backed by the energies of the chelas, will not be granted. As these meetings take place, Alpha and Omega are represented by a messenger. On at least one occasion, however, Alpha and Omega attended in person.” (Schroeder, 2005) The Karmic Board meets and assess the karma of every human and other sentient beings that are on this earthly plane. They evaluate impending karmic issues, review requests and oversee the spiritual evolution of the planet.
According to William Schroeder, “Such was the case, when, at the meeting of the Karmic Board at the end of June 1959, an edict was announced that in effect, changed the previous procedure, where an individual is allowed one embodiment after another to gain the ascension. Here are the details of that decree, by Cosmic Law, which affects all mankind: At the end of June 1959, during the summer conclave of the Karmic Board, it was announced that there would be a division of mankind. The cycle where an individual is reassigned in the Halls of Karma, given new opportunity to serve and, at the proper moment, passes through the gates of birth, closed. This edict brought with it profound consequences. We have, at the present time, many members of the fourth root race, the fifth root race, some of the sixth root race and perhaps, a few of the seventh root race, in embodiment. Members of the sixth and seventh root races were not permitted embodiment until recently, because of overpopulation by the fourth and fifth root-races, who had to return, to Earth again and again, in a new body, to give them opportunity to dissolve their remaining karma. At this critical juncture, all of mankind’s ten billion life-streams will be given a last chance to make amends, and given opportunity express man’s destiny as a co-creator with God.” It is necessary for us to clear our karmas and attune our vibratory frequencies daily to positivity and enlightenment due to the above consequences.
“According to Archangel Michael, a plan has been accepted that provides a last opportunity for all of mankind. There will be a division of mankind, and only those who make a conscious effort to improve their habits, their thoughts, feelings and actions will be allowed to return to Earth for a new embodiment. Under this new plan, those who were in embodiment as of July 1959, will have to meet this criteria. Individuals not in embodiment as of that date will be given one final embodiment, where the same criteria will be applied. Those who fail to meet this new standard will, at the end of their embodiment, be transferred to a new planet, which has been created for the laggards of today. This plan includes also a provision that applies to every student of the Bridge to Freedom teachings. Why is this so? Cosmic Law demands that the precious energy spent by the Ascended Host is privileged information, requiring an extraordinary expenditure of cosmic energy, which must be returned in harmony to the universe. Students, having this knowledge, are expected to APPLY it. Otherwise they receive the karma of omission. This explains why, in the Far East, knowledge of the Law was always given sparingly, because, if the instruction was either not APPLIED or not applied in a constructive way, the student, as well as his Guru, would accumulate karma.” (Schroeder, 2005) Archangel Michael really loves all of humanity and the plan for humanity is one last opportunity for all of us to make the ascension or have the outcome above be determined.
“KNOWING THE LAW, WITHOUT APPLYING IT, IS INSUFFICIENT. It is a fundamental principle of Cosmic Law that students, HAVING GREATER KNOWLEDGE, HAVE GREATER RESPONSIBILITY. Pure motives, having a positive attitude, and a willingness to put into practice what one knows, is of utmost importance. We are judged by HOW WE APPLY THE TEACHINGS in meeting the problems of everyday life, in constructively qualifying energy, and in contributing our spare time to the good of all, such as actively participating in group activity and giving decrees which bless not only ourselves, but all of mankind. Students of this teaching must take advantage of the opportunity that presents itself, TODAY!” (Schroeder, 2005) By applying the tools provided by the Ascended Masters, we ourselves will be in a much better position to make the ascension and not have to come back in embodiment again to this planet.
