Once we have made the decision to step into the path of discipleship, whether it be conscious or part of a process ordained upon us, we have made the decision to allow the movement to begin. This could be a finishing or reworking of other lifetimes, perhaps a memory of Atlantis or Lemuria, nontheless we are now part of a process of a greater process. We have made the commitment to the greater good. With this comes the speeding up of lessons, sacrifice, and tests. Sometimes we may feel alone and other times it is just being aware and seeing the help and messages and confirmations. They may asimple things everyday that we just have not noticed- a change encounter, something from nature, a piece of luck or being at the right place at the right time. It is important to be aware of everything happening around us. Things move at a faster pace for disciples including the demand for recognitions, processing, burning it down and rebuilding bothe internally and externally. This is a demanding process of reflection on deep routed outmoded actions. emotions and ideas. This includes physical consciousness of our body, emotional and feeling consciousness and mental consciousness. One must not be fooled thru over zealous aspiration. This is a slow process. Keep in mind what has brought you to your current place. The years of lessons and meditations, the awareness of right action, harmlessness and the power of observation and indifference.
Everything each of us does as an individual to further us on the path of discipleship to advance helps the advancement of the group as a whole. The advancement of the group aides in the evolving of humanity which allows for the advancement of the hierarchy to the source and making the vibration ready for the Christ to return.
The Stages
I believe the stage of little chelaship is the easiest and the hardest at the same time. One has worked to get the lower bodies in order and is being asked to look at life in a different way. It is the psychological step where we must look at the personality and all that we have come to realize is who we are and that is not so. I believe for me it was when I joined the Arcane school for the first time and also the Theossophical society. We moved to Ojai and studied therer and met alot of people to give guidance and help with the practice of meditation. That initial lesson from the Arcane School seemed very easy but as the tests started to appear and the need for reflection and self review took hold- not so easy. Giving up what you have come to think is who you are can be the greatest sacrifice. Now we are aware of the consciousness of who we are- the pwrsonality and the lower nature.
It is the beginning stage of I AM.
Next is Chela in the Light. One reaches this I believe thru hard work at self awareness and realizing the soul, higher self or being as Son Of God. For this stage progress must have made progress to be able to be contacted at the egoic level.
According to necessity the master contacts the chela. I am not sure what would be necessity if not just to push along and get over that hump. There also a need for many advanced disciples/chelas.
The chela is now an accepted disciple , the work has been recognized. He/she is ready but, might not truly realize it yet. This is when we need to be very observant because the messages come thru fast and furious. I believe I am at this stage but moving into the 4th stage. I have experienced all the forms of contact.
Chela on the thread I have had hints of.I have contacted in emergency but, not even always realized this was happening. Doubt needs to be awakened to not feel this doubt and so I believe this was the signal for the contact. Also as we advance the tests and sacrifice are fierce. One can get lost in a dark night of the soul. Even disciples falter on the way.
I awaite 5 and 6 and continue to study and work and review to understand what is happening around me. I have had a loved one pass- I am now looking at the concept of transition and teaching classed on how to prpare from a spiritual point of view. This experience has brought me closer to the path of realization of the transition and its importance. One must be ready. A disciple must be ready because what takes place at that point can help or hinder the group as a whole.
I am working at becoming a trusted chela. There are those that may say I am at rthat point buit, i am not rushing. When the time is right I will know and it will be revealed. On the pathe of discipleship I believe it is important not to become over zealous for this can be a trap of the ego. One must respect the journey. One must do all the work on all levels. The lower bdies must be in harmony. The higher mind must be in charge. One must be clear in purpose and understand the group consciousness.
The master will acknowledge when the time is right
Master in the heart is a serious step. While on this earthly plane it comes with responsibility and
wisdom. Knowledge converted to wisdom is the key. Service is the key. There must be clear vision of the plan. The art of invocation must be mastered. The will must be under control of the heart and I do not mean the emotions. The lower 3 have become connected to the higher 3 as a course of ease.Initiation comes with a mission. One must be ready. Sometimes things will change in one’s earthly environment to make this stage possible. A shift will occur to allow for the disciple to be able to take this step. The tests will increase. The processing will begin to move very quickly. Discipline will be needed and silence. I am that I am will be.
