Beloved Who Would Teach Men the Way of Transfiguration -
Beloved Jesus has told you of the need of every son of God for personal transfiguration such as he experienced both day by day, with the Spirit making all things new,1 and on the mountaintop when the anointing of the Piscean avatar was attended by ascended and unascended initiates witnessing in heaven and on earth to his commission as World Saviour and Teacher. Spoken directly from the Father, the divine approbation was heard: "This is my Beloved Son, in whom I AM well pleased: Hear ye him!"2 (This is the incarnation of myself, the One Sent to you in whom the I AM Presence dwells. Be God-taught of me through him and follow him all the way in the regeneration.3)
Jesus emphasized that the intensity of this wondrous whiteness of the sacred fire, permeating the consciousness with God-happiness and freedom from the bondage of the senses, would, as a side effect to the permanent change wrought, engender the soul's desire to retain the Light and to remain in its God-exalted estate. The Master also stressed the need to descend the mountain after each successive exaltation in God, once again to enter into loving service to a world in great need.
I am desirous of giving assistance to all who truly desire the rite of transfiguration to take place in their own being and consciousness as a genuine cosmic initiation which is ordained by the Father for all of his children.
First, it is well to understand that the verb transfigure breaks down into the prefix trans, meaning "change" (across, beyond, through, so as to change), and the word figure from the Latin, meaning "to shape, fashion, figure." Hence, to transfigure is "to change the form or appearance of," or "to metamorphose."
Figure, in our analysis of the soul's preparedness for this initiation, refers to each one's state of being as he approaches the event. The form or appearance currently manifesting shows that portion of the figure of Christ, the image of the hidden man of the heart, actually being outpictured by the soul - representing each one's present spiritual state.
To transfigure thus connotes the shedding of the human image as the soul identity is accelerated in the putting on of a tangible electronic garment, or life-essence, which can never be requalified (or lowered in vibration) to the level of the former state. In the ongoing transfiguration process our disciples experience the spiritual substitution of every human failure with God-dominion, God-creativity, and God-victory, as every manifest virtue and attribute of the Godhead displaces habitual submission to the synthetic programming of the human.
Those who have been stuck in the mud know how tenacious the soggy earth can be, how relentless it is in not releasing anyone from its grip. When the release comes and one emerges into the sunshine and wind, there is usually a drying of the caked dirt on clothing and skin, necessitating a thorough washing so the clumps of mud will not remain to spoil the day. Even so, the one so blessed as to find escape from earth's binding habits through a divine experience must not allow the clods to mar the temple garments.
Now, in transfiguration there is an actual expansion of the light of God that never fails. From within every cell and atom of the physical body, this expansion occurs under circumstances whereby the mud of one's former sullied state is itself dissolved and cannot cling longer round the atoms and cellular structure, for it is permanently changed (transmuted) by the Light.
Every thought, whether of conscious direction or unconscious drift, whether personal, racial, or cellular (yes, there is even such a thing as a subconscious cell thought!), is then,through transfiguration, brought to a state of God-bliss, and the millions of thoughts that are the components of consciousness become as cups of light running over with cosmic joy and divine wisdom. Each God-thought, then, becomes a radiating orb charged with the radiance of heaven which the Father desires to share with all Life in the entire cosmos - through you!
The Sun of God, the Christ within and above, continues to pour into the chalice of your heart (chakra) its Life-giving properties. This concentrated action of the sacred fire flushes out from the innermost regions of the mind (including the subconscious) every quality less than Light itself and releases any and all tenacious misqualified substance from each one's world.
In the ritual of the transfiguration, there is a cosmic release to all other unascended beings so fortunate as to be near the initiate when he is passing through the divine experience. This transfer of light surges to a peak, tapering off only after adjusting the body's electronic structure to its high frequencies. The purpose of this acceleration is to prepare each one for his own ascension in the Light.
We are acquainting our students with this knowledge for a good and sufficient reason. We trust that those who think they already know these things will meditate more deeply upon them, while those new to the concept of the personal transfiguration seek understanding from God, their own Mighty I AM Presence. Thus, let all seek divine assistance in preparing for this most blessed experience of the expansion of the Light (Christ) in the four planes (four lower bodies) of their own personal world.
Remember, you must ask for heaven's treasures if you would truly receive them!
I AM your cosmic teacher in God's love,
