<!--T:2-->

The '''transfiguration''' is an initiation on the path of the [[Special:MyLanguage/ascension|ascension]] that takes place when the initiate has attained a certain balance and expansion of the [[Special:MyLanguage/threefold flame|threefold flame]].  

<!--T:3-->

The transfiguration occurs before the crucifixion and is preparatory to it. The light of the transfiguration descends that we might have the pattern of perfection impressed upon our [[Special:MyLanguage/four lower bodies|four lower bodies]], so that we might withstand, in the hour of the crucifixion, the great weight that is placed upon us in the physical plane as we undergo the [[Special:MyLanguage/fourteen stations of the cross|fourteen stations of the cross]]. The pattern that is released through the transfiguration is then impressed upon us again through the ritual of the [[Special:MyLanguage/resurrection|resurrection]] when we have proved the victory over death.

The Ascension Temple on the Nile River in Egypt is a part of the retreat at Luxor, which is presided over by [[Special:MyLanguage/Serapis Bey|Serapis Bey]]. A few miles from the focus is a pyramid, also superimposed with etheric activity. Here in the upper room of the pyramid is the King’s Chamber, where the initiations of the transfiguration and the resurrection take place.  

== The transfiguration of Jesus == <!--T:8-->

<!--T:12-->

Jesus demonstrated the transfiguration publicly in order to give his disciples a foretaste of the kingdom of God and to prepare them to undergo the same eventual transformation in their own souls and bodies. To accomplish this the Master transported them to a higher dimension of God’s consciousness, parting the veil that they might see divine personages and a divine event not normally beheld by mortals.

== Description of the transfiguration == <!--T:14-->

<!--T:21-->

The guardian angels, the mighty [[Special:MyLanguage/seraphim|seraphim]] who are everywhere present at Luxor, watch over the disciple during the transfiguration experience to prevent the interference of the negative momentums of the mass consciousness that are pitted against the Christ in every man. Their protection enables the disciple to concentrate entirely upon his initiation and to use his full capacity to make complete attunement with his God Presence and with the Great Central Sun Magnet.   

== The meaning of the transfiguration == <!--T:22-->

<!--T:30-->

<blockquote>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></blockquote>
