Meeting the Ascended Master El Morya

It was a cryptic message. That is all he said. He didn’t even wait for an answer, and he was off and I was left standing there. And you know, I went back and stood in that spot about ten days ago when I was stumping in Boston, and I realized what he was doing when he appeared to me so concretely, looking as you look and yet he was not physical. He had raised my consciousness, cleared the third eye, lowered himself to that plane and there was a meeting of frequencies in vibrations.

And as I contemplated what he was doing, he was saying to me, “You don’t have to go by your inner feeling on being a messenger. You don’t have to go by a man whom you’ve just met. I am showing to you and proving to you that the ascended masters are real. I am not asking you to give your life, 100 percent of your life and energy, and to take the ridicule, the scorn and the condemnation of the world for what I am going to pass through you without giving you this initial experience of the absolute integrity and reality of the ascended masters.” I saw that he appeared to me out of a sense of cosmic honor, not asking me to walk by faith but by the science of knowing.

I ask you to call in the name of God, in the name of your inner Christ, to ask the ascended masters to prove their reality to you. I wouldn’t feel at all satisfied if you would accept what I am saying because I am saying it.

I am speaking about the integrity of souls who’ve gone before—Jesus Christ, Gautama Buddha, ancient ones such as Pythagoras, Saint Francis; modern saints such as Pope John XXIII, Milarepa, Ramakrishna, Sarada Devi, Thérèse of Lisieux and the lights who have been willing to live for a purpose, whether in science or government. They have given themselves on the altar of humanity. And they have never cared about the ridicule because they’ve been the avant-garde, the innovators; and what they have seen has always been beyond their time. And they’ve seen it so clearly that it never mattered what became of them. It became the message that was the passion of their lives.

Well, El Morya appeared to me another time. He gave me one more proof because he knew the element of doubt that lurks within all of us, and sure enough it was lurking. I was in my apartment and I was preparing to pass the torch in various college organizations and where I was working, and I was trying to get my things together. And it seemed like a large order to get all of this done and to leave. And I felt him come through the door—although, of course, he didn’t need to come through the door—of the apartment. And he stood there, big and tall, and also vibrating that momentum of his devotion to the will of God. And the doubting part of me said, “Go ahead and prove he’s not real! Go ahead! Just step through him. If you can step through him, he’s not real.” And I thought, “Well, that makes sense.”

So there he stood in front of me with a love that is indescribable, with the intensity of that devotion to my soul and to everything I had ever been seeking. But in that split second I made a decision. I walked through him. I walked right through him, and I turned around and he was still there. And I was very sheepish and very embarrassed. I had proven nothing except the ascended masters are real. Morya was real. He stayed with me. Things got together and I was ready to go.

I had that last moment of looking back, that great sin of Lot’s wife. And it was a looking back because I was leaving a very personal family, a close family, a lot of people I knew in church and in school and on the job. And, in fact, I was walking out on my whole life without even being able to communicate to one soul why I was leaving. I knew they wouldn’t understand and there was no point even beginning the discussion. I just was leaving town and I was saying, “Good-bye, I’m going.”

And in the face of all this there was this horrendous outcry, and it began to be a pull, like the pull of a planet, like two planetary bodies. It was such a magnetism that I couldn’t leave. And so I cried out to the Saviour Jesus Christ and I said, “You know I’ve always followed you. I am pursuing you to the end. I am working with the servant-sons of God in your name. Will you please open the Bible and give me something I can latch onto that will give me strength?”
