The Ascended Masters are enlightened spiritual beings who once lived on earth, fulfilled their reason for being and have ascended and reunited with God in the ritual of the ascension. They are referred to in the Book of Revelation as the saints robed in white who come as a "great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues." The ascended masters are true teachers of mankind. They direct the spiritual evolution of all devotees of God and guide them back to their Source.

10. How can a Holy Order hold the balance for a planet?

When members of a Holy Order determine by their freewill to invoke God's Light and focus their prayers, decrees and meditations on a particular planetary situation, this allows God's angels and his emissaries, the ascended masters, to enter into the situation and bring the divine solution. By co-creating with the heavenly hosts we help hold the balance on Earth.
