Dear Lightarian Teacher/Practitioner,

The "group energy" of Lightarian Teachers around the world has become more expanded and well defined during the Year 2000...there are now approximately 150 registered Teachers in the following countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Canada, England, Germany, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Scotland, South Africa and the United States. This group energy is forming based on the attunements that we are all experiencing with Maitreya and the Ascended Masters via the various forms of Lightarian energy work. It naturally follows that when we separately attune with an aspect of a Master, we not only link with the Master, but we link with each other. That is how etheric groups are formed...resulting from mutual attunements, resonant connections and purposeful alignment! We thank you for your participation in the building of the Lightarian energies around the globe in service to your friends, family members, clients and students as you share the Lightarian work with them.

MORE ABOUT OUR SUPPORTIVE CONNECTIONS WITH THE MASTERS

All of our Lightarian work is simply about spiritually assisting clients and students by making supportive connections for them with the Masters. We are conduits and channels for "introductions and connections" that recipients are ready to have in their lives. Our work creates a tremendous acceleration of process that stimulates spiritual movement for the individual...generally more quickly and gracefully and with more joy than would perhaps naturally occur for them. With the Lightarian attunements, one starts to create more "permanent" ties with Maitreya and the Ascended Masters....it is not that their energies just come and go...it is more like our etheric connections with them are simply always there!

After receiving a Lightarian attunement, you may start to notice more unusual "out of the blue" experiences - perhaps subtle warm feelings of energies around, gentle ringing in your ears or sensations around your heart or crown chakra. Through these types experiences we can sense the presence of the Masters around us and realize that we don't have to work so hard at being connected with them...because they are simply around us, providing support all the time!

THE NATURE OF CELESTIAL ENERGIES...
                                                        OUR LIGHTARIAN PERSPECTIVE

In our last Newsletter, we mentioned that new material is being added to the introductory sections of our Manuals...already placed in the new Clearing Ray manual and to be added to others as we go through our periodic updating of manuals for each of our modalities. Here is another excerpt of the new material that offers a good description of the Lightarian perspective on the Masters and other celestial energies:

While interacting and working with these divine energies over the years, we have developed certain understandings and perspectives about them...call it our unique "Lightarian perspective" regarding the Masters. As with any material of this nature, please remember we are giving you our "take on it" - bringing forth our level of insight and understanding about them. So, we encourage you to always tune in to determine what "feels" right for you. Tap into your own inner "knowing" and take in only what is most appropriate for you in the moment!

To lay the ground for our perspective about the Masters, we start with a description of celestial energies, in general.....

Prime Creator

Most people and cultures believe there is a primal source from which all energies and existence emanate. Throughout the ages there have been many names given to this primal source - Prime Creator, All That Is, Divine Mother, Divine Father, the One, the Godhead or simply God! Whatever the differences we humans may have in assigning a name to this inexplicable consciousness, generally, we all seem to believe that there is one primal source for all existence.

Universal Source

From this primal source, there have been energetic projections and diversifications, creating new expanded forms of consciousness, energies and experience. Thus began the descent into lower vibrational levels of energies! Over time, this process of expansion has created layer upon layer of the etherically projected energies that now lie between us and primal source. Within many different cultures and religions, these layerings of energies that exist within the higher etheric realms have been given names. One of these layers of energy is called Universal Source...the source of all that we consider a part of our physical and non-physical universe.

Now, from our Lightarian perspective of the creation process, we use the name Maitreya to describe the band or strata of energies in our "section" (one of twelve) of the universe, that has been projected just below the vibrational level of Universal Source.

Maitreya, the Ascension Master

The energies of Maitreya are a divine spiritual level with a vibrational range closest to the level of Universal Source. Our current understanding of the layerings of the celestial energies suggests that Maitreya is the god-like creator of our "section" of the universe.

There are twelve Divine Themes or Virtues which represent the basic vibrational patterns of experience that are played out throughout our entire universe. There are twelve sections within our Universe and, within each of these twelve sections, one dominant theme exists with the other themes all present at secondary levels. The dominant Divine Virtue or Theme being played out in our section of the Universe is "Power." This is the theme associated with the energies of Maitreya. The eleven other themes dominantly held within the other sections of the Universe are Beauty, Compassion, Courage, Imagination, Purity, Curiosity, Joy, Justice, Loyalty, Love and Will. Again, to one degree or another, these same twelve Divine Themes are also played out within every section of our Universe.

Based on our current understanding of the layerings, the Maitreya level expands and radiates outward, at a somewhat stepped-down vibration, and creates another twelve aspects of energies that we call the Ascended Masters. Within this simplified spiritual hierarchy structure, one could say that Maitreya is the Higher Self energy of twelve Ascended Masters. In a sense, within our "section" of the universe, Maitreya has sourced the twelve Ascended Masters.

Maitreya, along with these Ascended Master energies, is actively supporting the global/human transformation that is taking place on Earth Gaia at this time. You could actually consider him the master architect for Gaia’s global transformation process...so, here at the Lightarian Institute, we call him the Ascension Master!

The Ascended Masters

Within our section of the universe, the energies of the Ascended Masters have been purposefully created by Maitreya in the form of twelve spiritual beings, as a continuation of the process of expansion and diversification of experience. The Ascended Masters could be considered god-like creator-sources in twelve "zones" that exist within our section of the universe. They are co-creator sources of all energy forms and life experiences in these twelve zones. From their vantage points at these higher vibrational levels of experience, these energies of the Ascended Masters offer their wisdom and guidance to us in this plane. They have been active and supportive of the global/human evolutionary process since the beginning of the life of Gaia.

Over time, the Ascended Masters have projected aspects of themselves into lower vibrational bands in order to teach, guide and learn through direct experience at all levels, including the physical plane here on Earth. Many of the Masters have taken on Earth incarnations from time to time to stimulate and support the human evolutionary process. However, these powerful beings are much greater than their Earth incarnations, which reflect only a tiny fraction of their energies.

As the Ascended Masters project their energies etherically to us, we humans often desire to associate a name with the being that we are experiencing. They usually cooperate with us regarding this idea of being "labeled," because they often see the "naming" process as a genuine facilitation for the individual who is tapping into their energies. Due to the varying perspectives and belief structures that exist, there is a wide range of names for these Masters that you may hear about nowadays. They are simply various aspects of these twelve Ascended Masters. (These higher spiritual Beings have a virtually infinite number of sparks or "aspects" of consciousness - all operating at slightly different vibrational levels within a particular vibrational band.) Also, during interactions with humans, the Ascended Masters often reflect one of their past incarnational lifetimes, generally to facilitate the process and always with the intention to fulfill some specific purpose.
