The '''Universal Christ''' is the mediator between the planes of Spirit and the planes of Matter; personified as the [[ | The '''Universal Christ''' is the mediator between the planes of [[Spirit]] and the planes of [[Matter]]; personified as the [[Christ Self]], he is the mediator between the Spirit of God and the soul of man. The Universal Christ sustains the nexus of (the figure-eight flow of) consciousness through which the energies of the Father (Spirit) pass to his children for the crystallization (Christ-realization) of the God Flame by their souls’ strivings in the cosmic womb (matrix) of the Mother (Matter). This process is called materialization (Mater-realization), “The Descent.” The process whereby the soul’s coalesced energies of the Mother pass through the nexus of the Christ consciousness to the Father is the acceleration called spiritualization (Spirit-realization), “The Ascent.” Another name for the process whereby the soul’s energy returns from Matter to Spirit is sublimation (sublime action), or transmutation. | ||
The consummation of this process is experienced by the soul, now one with the Son, as the [[ascension]]—union with the Spirit of the [[I AM Presence]], the Father. The ascension is the fulfillment in heaven of Jesus’ promise on earth: “At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.... If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.”<ref>John 14:20, 23.</ref> | The consummation of this process is experienced by the soul, now one with the Son, as the [[ascension]]—union with the Spirit of the [[I AM Presence]], the Father.

This which is affirmed even today by the Ascended Master Jesus Christ is also affirmed in your behalf by your beloved Christ Self. Thus the Universal Christ of the one Son and the many does indeed mediate the Presence of the I AM to you through your very own beloved Holy Christ Self. This is the true Communion of the Cosmic Christ whose Body (Consciousness) was ‘broken’, shared, individualized, for every child of the Father’s heart. The Sons of God hold the Maxim Light in trust for the babes in Christ. | This which is affirmed even today by the Ascended Master Jesus Christ is also affirmed in your behalf by your beloved Christ Self.

== A Christed one == | |||
The term “Christ” or “'''Christed one'''” also denotes an office in hierarchy held by those who have attained self-mastery on the seven rays and the seven [[chakra]]s of the [[Holy Spirit]]. Christ-mastery includes the balancing of the [[threefold flame]]—the divine attributes of Power, Wisdom, and Love—for the harmonization of consciousness and the implementation of the mastery of the seven rays in the chakras and in the [[four lower bodies]] through the Mother Flame (raised [[Kundalini]]). At the hour designated for the ascension, the soul thus anointed raises the spiral of the threefold flame from beneath the feet through the entire form for the transmutation of every atom and cell of her being, consciousness, and world. The saturation and acceleration of the four lower bodies and the soul by this transfiguring light of the Christ Flame takes place in part during the initiation of the transfiguration, increasing through the resurrection and gaining full intensity in the ritual of the ascension. | The term “Christ” or “'''Christed one'''” also denotes an office in hierarchy held by those who have attained self-mastery on the seven rays and the seven [[chakra]]s of the [[Holy Spirit]].

== The personal Christ == | |||
The individual '''[[Christ Self]]''', the personal Christ, is the initiator of every living soul. When the individual passes these several initiations on the path of Christhood, including the “slaying of the [[dweller-on-the-threshold]],” he earns the right to be called a Christed one and gains the title of son or daughter of God. Some who have earned that title in past ages have either compromised that attainment altogether or failed to manifest it in subsequent incarnations. In this age the Logos requires them to bring forth their inner God-mastery and to perfect it on the physical plane while in physical embodiment. | The individual '''[[Christ Self]]''', the personal Christ, is the initiator of every living soul.
