OUR DIVINE POTENTIAL

✨ El Morya’s University of the Spirit Thursday 12 – Wednesday 25 November El Morya welcomes us to his retreat, the Temple of Good Will, over Darjeeling, India. There he trains us on the first ray of the will of God and in the path of personal Christhood through the soul’s blueprint. Preparing ourselves before sleep We can travel out of the body to the etheric retreats while our body sleeps at night. Where we are in consciousness before we sleep will often determine where we go. We can prepare in these ways: 🛏 We can keep our meals light in the few hours before sleep. Then the functions of the body can be at rest, and the soul can more easily ascend to higher octaves. 🛏 We can choose peaceful viewing in the hours before sleep. This keeps the soul attuned to the highest levels of the etheric plane. 🛏 We can create a period of spiritual attunement before sleep, perhaps reading the words of El Morya. This helps attune our consciousness with the place we intend to go. Calling for safe travel It is most important to make the call. We can ask Archangel Michael to take us to the retreat: Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. Mighty I AM Presence and Holy Christ Self, I call to Archangel Michael and his legions of blue-lightning angels to protect and transport my soul clothed in her finer bodies to the retreat of the ascended master El Morya at the Temple of Good Will this night. Escort me, instruct me, guide and protect me as I work to set free all life on earth. I ask this be done in accordance with the holy will of God. Our welcome at the retreat God dwells in us, and God in us is worthy to attend the retreats of light. El Morya himself says, “I say to you again, the welcome mat is out.” He also tells us: “As the will of God cherishes you in response to your call, you shall find yourself vested from day to day with more of the radiance of the Brothers of the Diamond Heart.” Remembering what we learn The call to El Morya includes a request that all we need for our divine plan be released to our outer waking consciousness as it is required: In the name of the Christ, my own Real Self, I call to the heart of the I AM Presence and to the angel of the Presence to take me in my soul and in my soul consciousness to the retreat of El Morya in Darjeeling. I ask that my four lower bodies be charged and recharged with the Will of God and I ask for my life’s blueprint for my fulfilment of that will. And I ask that all information necessary to the fulfilment of my divine plan be released to my outer waking consciousness as it is required. I thank thee and I accept this done in the full power of the risen Christ.

El Morya’s Early Embodiments El Morya has served the light through many embodiments. He was the son of Enoch, who “walked with God and was not for God took him” in the ritual of the ascension. He was one of the seers who reached into the higher octaves of light in the ancient land of Ur of the Chaldees. As a native of Persia, he worshiped the One God, Ahura Mazda. In these embodiments and many others, he learned to experiment with “divine electricities.” He became more and more aware of the spiritual power flowing through man. Later he mastered the constructive use of the electric power of cosmic consciousness. This is the vital force which, called into action by divine fiat, carries a universe, a solar system or a human being from the beginning of its mission to its completion. #ElMorya #AscendedMasters Copyright © 2026 Summit Lighthouse, Inc.

6–10 Diwali (Hindu Celebration)

Today is Diwali, the Hindu festival of light. The name comes from the Sanskrit Deepavali, meaning “a row of lights.” Rows of small clay lamps are lit in homes and along streets and doorways. Their light marks the victory of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance. The best-known story behind Diwali is the return of Prince Rama to his city of Ayodhya. Rama came home with his wife Sita and his brother Lakshmana after fourteen years of exile and his victory over the demon king Ravana. The people of Ayodhya lit lamps throughout the city to welcome them home. The lamps lit at Diwali carry that same welcome today. Sita is honoured as an incarnation of the Goddess Lakshmi, the shakti* of Vishnu. Lakshmi took human form to accompany Vishnu in each of his incarnations, and as Sita she stood beside Rama. On the main night of Diwali, the night of the new moon, homes are cleaned and lamps are lit to welcome Lakshmi. She brings prosperity, both material and spiritual. In many parts of India, Diwali lasts five days. The third day is the main celebration, and this year it falls today. The lamps of Diwali also point to the light within each of us. As we light a candle today, we can affirm the flame in our own heart and offer that light to the world. * Shakti is the divine power of a deity, expressed as the feminine. Lakshmi is the shakti, or power, of Vishnu. Copyright © 2026 Summit Lighthouse, Inc. All rights reserved.

El Morya is the chohan of the first ray. He is also chief of the Darjeeling Council of the Great White Brotherhood and hierarch of the etheric Temple of Good Will over Darjeeling, India. He founded The Summit Lighthouse and is the guru and teacher of the messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet. El Morya represents courage, certainty, power, forthrightness, self-reliance, dependability, faith and initiative. These are the qualities of the Father principle: the statesman, the executive, the ruler. Through many embodiments he has worn the crown of authority, ruling many kingdoms wisely and well. For him, government means God-over-men. He inspires in those he serves an illumined obedience to the holy will of God. Over the coming posts we will follow some of his embodiments: Abraham, Melchior, King Arthur, Thomas Becket, Thomas More, Akbar the Great and Thomas Moore. We end with his final embodiment and his ascension in 1898. https://www.ascendedmasterencyclopedia.org/wiki/El_Morya #ElMorya #AscendedMasters Copyright © 2026 Summit Lighthouse, Inc.

All Saints’ Day

All Hallow’s Eve – 31st October All Hallow’s Eve is the eve of All Saints’ Day, a day commemorating all saints. In medieval times it was observed as a holy, or hallowed, evening. Over time it was influenced by pagan rites and festivals and gradually became the secular observance we know as Halloween. The ascended masters teach that, eons ago, the early root races on Earth were pure, innocent and peaceful, and knew they were gods in manifestation. They learned about good and evil from the archangels and angels, who performed profound Shakespearean-like dramas. By watching the angel actors choose illusion, evil or good, they saw the repercussions of each choice without making the mistakes, or the karma, themselves. At the end of their cycles of reincarnation and self-mastery, they attained union with God through the ritual of the ascension. This is the divine intent for each of us. In each lifetime we put on more of the consciousness of God, until at last things equal to the same thing are equal to each other. The culmination of all our lifetimes is to become one with God and make our ascension in the light. Some of the angels who portrayed evil in these dramas identified so closely with their roles that they forgot their divine estate. Over the millennia, mankind came to identify more with these fallen ones than with the holy angels, and humanity’s sense of its own divine origin grew dim. Our true identity remains. We are sons and daughters of God, and we can become God. So the greatest Halloween costume of all may be the one we see in the mirror. We can remove the mask and become our Real Self. Step by step, as we progress on the spiritual path, we become more of God each day. A prayer from El Morya El Morya has given a prayer so that Light may prevail at this time. It calls forth the violet transmuting flame of forgiving love, asking: “Replace it all with the most lovely, inspirational, God-uplifting forms of angelic beauty that have ever graced this planet…” The full prayer is in the image.

We are beginning a new series of monthly newsletters featuring excerpts from Odyssey of Your Soul: A Voyage of Self-Discovery by Elizabeth Clare Prophet. In this book, Elizabeth Clare Prophet interprets Homer’s Odyssey as a map of the rites of passage the soul meets on its journey through life. Each of us is on our own odyssey, navigating the turbulent waters of life and exploring its uncharted islands. Like Odysseus, we meet twelve core archetypal life situations. Each one shows us the character qualities we are called to develop and the patterns we are ready to master. The book offers sound strategies for overcoming difficult patterns within ourselves, and gives us the insight and courage to meet them. Odyssey of Your Soul is an invitation to become the hero we are meant to be.

The tube of light is a shield of protective white light about nine feet in diameter that descends from God and extends beneath your feet. The tube of light can guard against malicious energies that may be directed at you through someone’s anger, condemnation, hatred or jealousy. When you are unprotected, these negative energies can make you irritable or depressed and can even cause you to have accidents. The tube of light helps you stay centered and at peace. The Tube of Ligh is a wall around you that seals and protects you from the mass consciousness, from thoughts of jealousy or envy, from all kinds of conditions of disease in the planet. It is a spiritual protection which we all need. It’s a good idea to give your “Tube of Light” decree each morning before the hustle and bustle of the day begins. If throughout the day you feel deenergized, depleted or vulnerable, you can repeat this decree as needed. Copyright © 2026 Summit Lighthouse, Inc. All rights reserved.

Celebrating the Ascension of Clara Louise On October 25, 1970, Clara Louise Kieninger made her ascension at the age of 87 from Berkeley, California. She joined her twin flame, Amen Bey, to serve with Serapis Bey at the Ascension Temple at Luxor, Egypt. Clara Louise serves on the fourth ray of God’s purity. On Lemuria she served as a priestess at the altar of the Divine Mother, and at the time of Jesus she was embodied as the apostle James. A life of service Born in Kansas in 1883, Clara Louise followed the profession of her heart, nursing. At her graduation in 1912 she took her class motto, “Ich Dien” (I Serve), as the guiding principle of her life. She served as a chief nurse in France during the First World War and established the first school of nursing in Brazil. She was sweet and gracious, and raised the dignity and self-worth of all around her. Her vigil for the youth of the world In her later years Clara Louise kept a daily vigil of prayer, beginning as early as three or four in the morning and continuing for two to four hours or more. She prayed for the youth of the world, the incoming children, and their parents and teachers. From the ascended state she told us her prayers made the difference in many souls entering the Path, and that we can build the same momentum through dedication and determination. Mother of the Flame In 1961 Saint Germain anointed Clara Louise as the first Mother of the Flame of the Keepers of the Flame Fraternity. When this mantle passed to Elizabeth Clare Prophet in 1966, Clara Louise became the Regent Mother of the Flame. She holds this office from the ascended level, nurturing the souls of all the world’s children. Her service today Clara Louise journeys from retreat to retreat, teaching those who study there and calling for reinforcements for the care of the youth. A spiral of victory remains over the place of her ascension in Berkeley, blessing and healing the little ones. On her ascension day, we can ask to be taken to Luxor while we sleep to receive instruction for our path, and give our own calls for the children and youth of the world. #AscendedMasters #ClaraLouise #MotherOfTheFlame Copyright © 2026 Summit Lighthouse, Inc.

Saint Germain and the Birth of America While the Comte de Saint Germain moved through the royal courts of Europe, another chapter of his mission was unfolding across the Atlantic. As he has explained it, an ascended master may occupy any number of “bodies,” or forcefields, simultaneously in service of a single purpose — and his own mission during this era included, by his own account, an energetic and principal role in the American Revolution. Having worked for years to secure the full attention of the French court and the other crowned heads of Europe, Saint Germain turned his energies toward what he called “the perfectionment of mankind at large.” In his own words: “I recognized that there were many who, hungering and thirsting after righteousness, would indeed be filled with the concept of a perfect union which would inspire them to take dominion over the New World and create a union among the sovereign states. Thus the United States was born as a child of my heart, and the American Revolution was the means of bringing freedom in all of its glory into manifestation from the East unto the West.” It is in this sense that Saint Germain is known today as the sponsor of America — the same soul who, as the prophet Samuel and later as Merlin, had once anointed the kings of Israel and Britain, now working to help bring forth a nation founded on freedom itself.

The Comte de Saint Germain: Wonderman of Europe Upon his ascension from the Rakoczy Mansion in 1684, Saint Germain entered the Great Silence, where his twin flame, Portia, Goddess of Justice — whose name he had inscribed into The Merchant of Venice — had long been waiting his return. Not long after, he was granted a rare dispensation by the Lords of Karma: to function in the world of form as an ascended being having the appearance of an unascended one. Throughout the courts of eighteenth-century Europe, he was known as the Comte de Saint Germain — appearing, disappearing and reappearing among royal circles with a striking realism, in an age closing in on itself under the weight of its own hypocrisy. Voltaire described him to Frederick II of Prussia as “a man who never dies and who knows everything.” He spoke French, German, English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Russian so fluently he was taken for a native wherever he went; scholars found him more skilled in the languages of Homer and Virgil than they were themselves, and he conversed with Orientalists in Sanskrit, Chinese and Arabic. He composed, improvised and accompanied music on piano without written notes — “not only every song but also the most difficult concerti” — and played the violin “like an orchestra.” His compositions remain today in the British Museum. He painted in oils with colors of gemlike brilliance, using a technique he had discovered himself. His mastery as an alchemist became legend. He was said to have removed a flaw from a diamond belonging to King Louis XV, and Graf Cobenzl wrote of witnessing him transmute iron “into a metal as beautiful as gold.” He understood the use of herbs and plants deeply, discovering elixirs believed to prolong life and maintain health — and the diaries of Mme d’Adhemar, who knew him for half a century, record his visits to the courts of Louis XV and Louis XVI, noting his unchanging, youthful countenance across decades. In one 1789 conversation, he accurately predicted the Revolution to come, the fall of the House of Bourbon, and the course of modern French history. He carried out secret diplomatic missions across the courts of Europe, and it is said that had Louis XVI heeded his counsel, the French Revolution itself might have been prevented. He later worked through Napoleon toward a united Europe — an effort Napoleon ultimately failed by misusing the trust placed in him. Copyright © 2026 Summit Lighthouse, Inc. All rights reserved.

Francis Bacon (1561–1626) — philosopher, statesman, essayist and literary master — was an embodiment of Saint Germain. Known as the father of inductive reasoning and the scientific method, he believed applied science could free ordinary people from hardship, opening the way to a higher spirituality. He called this vision “The Great Instauration,” a concept he crystallized in his 1607 book of the same name, launching the English Renaissance. Bacon gathered a circle of writers, “The Knights of the Helmet,” dedicated to building an English literature ordinary people could read for themselves. He organized the translation of the King James Bible, and ciphers discovered in the 1890s within the original Shakespearean Folios reveal that Bacon himself was the true author of those plays. His ideas shaped Western political thought through Hobbes, Locke and Bentham, and fueled the American spirit: “Men are not animals erect,” he wrote, “but immortal Gods.” He promoted colonization of the New World, helped charter Newfoundland, served the Virginia Company that sponsored Jamestown, and founded Freemasonry. Hidden ciphers also reveal a private life: Bacon was the secret son of Queen Elizabeth I, never allowed to claim his true identity or his rightful throne. Rather than rebel, he poured his purpose into literature, science and the founding of a new nation. Bacon’s soul made its ascension from the Rakoczy Mansion, retreat of the Great Divine Director, on May 1, 1684. Copyright © 2026 Summit Lighthouse, Inc. All rights reserved.

Today, October 15, we celebrate the ascension of our beloved messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet, now known as Guru Ma. She made her transition to realms of light on October 15, 2009, and we believe she has ascended. Her spiritual quest began in childhood. Born in Red Bank, New Jersey, in 1939, she carried memories of past lives and a determination to find confirmation of the truth Jesus spoke to her in her heart. By the age of nine she had attended every church and synagogue in her town in search of answers. At eighteen she opened a book on the ascended masters and came face to face with a picture of Saint Germain. She later described this as the turning point of her life. In 1961 she joined The Summit Lighthouse and was trained by the ascended master El Morya to be a messenger. Three years later she received Saint Germain’s anointing as a messenger of the Great White Brotherhood. From 1973 Elizabeth Clare Prophet led the organisation through decades of tremendous growth. She established Church Universal and Triumphant and Summit University Press. She lectured in more than 30 countries and 150 cities, published more than 50 books, held four conferences each year, taught Summit University classes and founded Montessori International. Her first priority remained the weekly Pearls of Wisdom, letters from the ascended masters to their students around the world. Her books include Saint Germain On Alchemy, The Human Aura, The Lost Years of Jesus, Fallen Angels and the Origins of Evil, the Climb the Highest Mountain® series and the Pocket Guides to Practical Spirituality series. Of her mission, she said: “My books and writings are intended to give people the opportunity to know the Truth that can make them free—so they can find God without me.” The Summit Lighthouse carries on this core message: developing an intimate relationship with God through practical spirituality and the wisdom of the ascended masters and the world’s major religions, East and West. We can honour her today with our gratitude for her service, and by watching A Life Lived in Love, the movie of her life and mission, or reading her autobiography, In My Own Words.

Hilarion’s University of the Spirit: Thursday 15 – Wednesday 28 October Hilarion welcomes us to his retreat, the Temple of Truth, in the etheric realm over the island of Crete. Hilarion is the hierarch of the retreat, and Pallas Athena, the Goddess of Truth, is the Patroness. How the Universities of the Spirit began The etheric retreats of the ascended masters are the temples of the Great White Brotherhood. They were once physical, on the lost continents of Lemuria and Atlantis. Later they were withdrawn to the etheric plane, where only the most advanced initiates could reach them. With the dawning of the Aquarian age, lightbearers were given the opportunity again to enter these retreats. This time they enter by soul travel, apart from the physical body. In the twentieth century, a number of the retreats were opened to unascended students of the ascended masters. On January 1, 1986, Gautama Buddha announced that the Lords of Karma had approved the seven chohans of the rays to open Universities of the Spirit in each of their etheric retreats. There they would welcome “thousands and tens of thousands of students who will diligently pursue the path of self-mastery on the seven rays systematically.” The chohans of the rays are the closest of the ascended masters to humanity. Each one has attained self-mastery and won the ascension by serving humanity on one or more of the seven rays. Each chohan opens their retreat for a two-week training period, and then the next chohan opens theirs, on a rolling schedule. Gautama Buddha described the students’ path through the retreats. It begins in Darjeeling with El Morya and at the Royal Teton Retreat with Saint Germain. It continues with Lord Lanto and Confucius, Paul the Venetian, and Nada in Arabia, and then the Ascension Temple. Then comes Crete: “Then they proceed to Crete with Paul the apostle, and there Hilarion shows them the Truth of all ages, and the science of Being is unfolded layer upon layer.” The call to attend We can travel to the Temple of Truth at night while our body sleeps. We can give this call before sleep so that we arrive there safely, away from the entanglements of the astral plane: In the name of the Christ, my own Real Self, I call to the heart of the I AM Presence and to the angel of the Presence to take me in my soul and in my soul consciousness to the retreat of Hilarion over the island of Crete. I ask to be taught the way of truth, the revelations of truth, and the true revelations of Jesus Christ to the age under the ascended master Hilarion. And I ask that all information necessary to the fulfillment of my divine plan be released to my outer waking consciousness as it is required. I thank thee and I accept this done in the full power of the risen Christ.

Today, 12 October, is Columbus Day — a fitting day to look back on Saint Germain’s embodiment as Christopher Columbus (1451–1506), discoverer of America. Over two centuries before Columbus set sail, Roger Bacon — an earlier embodiment of the very same soul — had already set the stage for the voyage. In his Opus Majus, Bacon wrote that “the sea between the end of Spain on the west and the beginning of India on the east is navigable in a very few days if the wind is favorable.” Though the geography behind the statement was mistaken — the land west of Spain was not, in fact, India — it proved instrumental all the same. Columbus quoted the passage directly in a 1498 letter to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, crediting it as part of what inspired his 1492 voyage. Columbus was convinced that God had appointed him for this mission — that he was, in his own words, “the messenger of the new heaven and the new earth of which He spake in the Apocalypse of Saint John, after having spoken of it by the mouth of Isaiah.” Writing to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella in 1502, he went further still: “In the carrying out of this enterprise of the Indies, neither reason nor mathematics nor maps were any use to me: fully accomplished were the words of Isaiah.” He was drawing on the prophecy in Isaiah 11:10–12, that the Lord would “recover the remnant of his people... and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.” So certain was Columbus of his divine selection that he studied the biblical prophets in depth, compiling the relevant passages in a book of his own making titled Las Proficias — The Prophecies — in full, The Book of Prophecies concerning the Discovery of the Indies and the Recovery of Jerusalem. It’s a detail seldom emphasized in the history books, though even the Encyclopaedia Britannica states it plainly: “Columbus discovered America by prophecy rather than by astronomy.” Taken together with Roger Bacon’s earlier writing, Columbus’s voyage looks like the completion of something set in motion across two lifetimes of the same soul — a scientific insight planted centuries earlier and carried forward by an unshakeable sense of divine purpose. An idea doesn’t need to bear fruit within a single lifetime to be worth planting. Copyright © 2026 Summit Lighthouse, Inc. All rights reserved.

Saint Germain walked the earth as Roger Bacon (1220–1292) — philosopher, Franciscan monk, educational reformer and experimental scientist. In an era in which either theology or logic, or both, dictated the boundaries of what science was allowed to explore, Bacon promoted the experimental method as the true path to knowledge. He declared his belief that the world was round and openly criticized the scholars and scientists of his day for their narrow-mindedness. “True knowledge stems not from the authority of others, nor from a blind allegiance to antiquated dogmas,” he said — a statement that still holds its edge centuries later. Bacon eventually left his post as a lecturer at the University of Paris and entered the Franciscan Order of Friars Minor. In his own time, Bacon became renowned for his exhaustive investigations into alchemy, optics, mathematics and languages. Today he is regarded as a forerunner of modern science and, remarkably, a prophet of modern technology. He predicted the hot-air balloon, a flying machine, spectacles, the telescope, the microscope, the elevator, and mechanically propelled ships and carriages — and wrote of each as though he had genuinely seen them at work, centuries before they existed. His scientific and philosophical outlook, his willingness to challenge the theologians of his day, and his deep study of alchemy and astrology brought him under suspicion. He was charged with “heresies and novelties” and imprisoned for fourteen years by his own fellow Franciscans. Yet to those who studied his work in the centuries that followed, Bacon became known as “doctor mirabilis” — “wonderful teacher” — a title that has followed him down the ages.
