Transfiguration is the means devised by the Godhead to free man from (1) all manipulations and degrading changes intended to de-evolutionize the race and (2) all that is not in complete unity with the seed-essence of God himself and with the sacred fire of the Mighty I AM Presence. | |||

Through the acceleration of the electronic fire rings of the Presence that occurs during the initiation of the transfiguration, individuals are ‘stepped up’ in vibration and clothed with the seamless garment<ref>Matt. 17:2; Mark 9:3; Luke 9:29; John 19:23.</ref> of electronic light. This transfiguring light comes from the heart of God and passes through all illusion and human density which, cloudlike and cunning, seeks to conceal from their gaze, in a thousand allures and subterfuges, the latent divinity of the seed of Christ. | |||

When this action of the transfiguration is initiated by the Presence and received by the soul in the fullness of God-awareness, a state of consciousness is entered into by the disciple wherein he no longer considers himself Christian, Jew, Buddhist, Mohammedan, or a member of a separate religious sect. Neither is he conscious any longer of racial characteristics stamped on the outer form; but, in the joy of the divinely blessed transfiguring experience, he is one (as I AM) with the pure, electronic white light of God’s sacred fire. This is the true initiation of the Holy Spirit through each one’s Holy Christ Self. | |||

The effect of God’s light upon man’s consciousness is great joy and peace. When the light and fire of God flow through him like a crystal-clear river of Life,<ref>Rev. 22:1.</ref> washing away the former impressions of unhappiness, the glory and freedom he feels are boundless! | |||

Every son of God can and should pass through the initiation of the transfiguration not merely as an Easter ritual, but as the once-in-a-lifetime mountaintop experience with the Ascended Masters Moses, Elijah, and myself, witnessed by the apostles. This is the gift of God to permanently change one’s life and to prepare the soul for succeeding initiations on the path of Christhood ere the resurrection can be attained. | |||

The power of the transfiguration to change one life exemplifies the action of the sacred fire, whose transforming light is the miracle worker day by day, until the soul and four lower bodies of the disciple are prepared for the fullness of the all-enveloping transfiguration. | |||

Such as these, proving the Law of Love step by step, descend the mountain and go forth (return to service at human levels) better equipped to render real assistance to their own friends, loved ones, and a world that hungers as never before to be filled with righteousness—the knowledge of the “right use” of all God’s powers. These are truly the meek who, full of divine strength, shall inherit the earth.<ref>{{CCL}}, pp. 118–20.</ref> | |||
