The sons and daughters of God must pass through the ritual of the Last Judgment in preparation for the final test of the sacred fire and their ultimate reunion with the God Presence. This is the judgment that is reserved for the blessed Servant Sons referred to in the Book of Revelation, who “loved not their lives unto the death.”<ref>Rev. 12:1.</ref> The Ascension Temple at Luxor is the place prepared for the last judgment of those who have passed through the schoolroom of earth and earned the right to sit at the right hand of God.<ref>In special cases advanced initiates are taken to the [[Cave of Light]] or the [[Cave of Symbols]], where they are given the necessary assistance to complete the raising of the four lower bodies either in the [[Atomic Accelerator]], the Sphere of Light or the Cosmic Focus in the Cave of Light. Under certain conditions, ascensions may also take place in other retreats of the Brotherhood or from the exact spot where individuals have passed through the transition; of course it is not necessary to pass through death in order to ascend, as many Avatars have proven. Therefore, the ascension may take place anywhere or anytime it is ordained by God—providing the requirements of the Law have been met.</ref> | The sons and daughters of God must pass through the ritual of the Last Judgment in preparation for the final test of the sacred fire and their ultimate reunion with the God Presence.

The final test of the sacred fire is not given to the candidate unless the Hierarch of the retreat considers that the soul is fully prepared to meet God. Hence, before they are brought to the Court of the Sacred Fire, weeks, months or years of training in the Ascension Temple may be required of those disciples who are lacking in one or more of the requirements for the ascension. | The final test of the sacred fire is not given to the candidate unless the Hierarch of the retreat considers that the soul is fully prepared to meet God.
