David Lloyd/pt

Na sua encarnação final, David Lloyd viveu na Índia, onde o seu pai representava o governo britânico. Quando David tinha vinte anos o pai faleceu e deixou cem mil libras à família por intermédio de um amigo, cujo trabalho em minas de diamantes na África do Sul ele havia patrocinado. Um mestre não ascenso encarregou-se de ajudar David Lloyd, assegurando que ele e a mãe fossem em segurança para a Inglaterra. O mesmo mestre disse-lhe que um dia encontraria em uma montanha da América do Norte um homem que lhe entregaria um cálice de cristal contendo o elixir da vida e o ajudaria a elevar o corpo.

Encontro com Godfre

Após 50 anos de busca contínua, enfrentando grandes provas, David encontrou Godfre Ray King no monte Shasta. Quando Godfre lhe ofereceu uma bebida extraída de uma fonte que jorrava nas proximidades, formou-se em suas mãos um cálice de cristal. Ao entregar o cálice a David Lloyd, Godfre verificou que estava cheio do mesmo líquido cintilante que Saint Germain já lhe tinha oferecido antes. David contou a história da sua vida a Godfre que fez um chamado à Presença do EU SOU e a Saint Germain para ajudarem David Lloyd por seu intermédio. Mais uma vez um copo de cristal formou-se na sua mão, repleto de luz vivente líquida. Quando David bebeu o elixir, retornou à juventude e elevou-se do solo, envolvido pela luz da ascensão.

Assim como Godfre foi uma figura-chave para David alcançar a liberdade imortal e o único por cujo intermédio aquela bênção lhe podia ter sido dada, essa experiência foi uma iniciação para Godfre, que só podia ocorrer por meio de David Lloyd. A partir daí, Godfre subiu no seu serviço e passou a ser um mensageiro da hierarquia. De igual modo, somos peças-chave para a vitória uns dos outros e precisamos estar alerta para afirmar essa vitória, pois ao fazê-lo, subimos a escada da iniciação.

A ascensão física

David Lloyd figura entre os mestres que fizeram a ascensão física. No ritual da ascensão, a alma une-se ao corpo de fogo branco da Presença do EU SOU. Geralmente, a ascensão não requer a elevação do corpo físico, pois é a alma que se eleva da espiral mortal e sobe ao céu no processo da ascensão. Atualmente, a maioria das pessoas cuja alma se qualifica para o ritual da ascensão ascende a partir de níveis internos, quando a alma já deixou o corpo físico depois da mudança denominada morte. A alma une-se à poderosa Presença do EU SOU para se tornar um átomo permanente no corpo de Deus, tal como na ascensão física.

The ascended master Rex has told us that those who are called to the physical ascension must have had many thousands of years of preparation. In order to ascend, the candidate must have balanced at least 51 percent of his karma. In order to make a physical ascension, he must have balanced between 95 and 100 percent of his karma.

When a physical ascension takes place, the physical body is transformed by and superseded by the ascended master light body. During the ascension ritual, the soul becomes permanently clothed with this body, also called the “wedding garment,” or the deathless solar body.

Serapis Bey describes the process of the ascension in his Dossier on the Ascension.

The flame above (in the heart of the Presence) magnetizes the flame below (the threefold flame within the heart) and the wedding garment descends around the silver cord to envelop the lifestream of the individual in those tangible and vital essence currents of the ascension. Tremendous changes then take place in the form below, and the four lower bodies of man are cleansed of all impurities. Lighter and lighter grows the physical form, and with the weightlessness of helium the body begins to rise into the atmosphere, the gravitational pull being loosened and the form enveloped by the light of the externalized glory that man knew with the Father “in the beginning....” The individual ascends, then, not in an earthly body but in a glorified spiritual body into which the physical form is changed on the instant by total immersion in the great God flame.

The experience of the ascension

The ascended master David Lloyd has told us that we may call to him to charge us with his feeling and momentum of desiring the ascension, which was built up over those fifty years of searching. He speaks with compassion for those who have not yet attained the ascension and describes his experience of the ascension:

Beloved ones, take heart. I give to you and pledge to you my sacred word this night that the love of God has programmed for you all a similar opportunity, a victorious overcoming of the vicissitudes of life and the darkness of this world....

Do not be overconcerned, beloved hearts of light, simply because you have failed to attain in previous moments of struggle and search. Be not dismayed. Be not affrighted nor consider yourselves as an offcast from the gates of heaven, for heaven beckons and comes very close.

Many times as I journeyed throughout the realm of experiences in the earth life, I also found that struggle seemed to overcome me, and discouragement aimed directly at dissuading me from the search caused me momentarily to pause. The wise do it not, and yet I do not think of myself in that former state as always acting wisely—but persistently. For I was persistent to storm the very gates of the citadel of heaven, and I continued to pursue the spiritual path, even when some around me sought to discourage me. Many circumstances that are unrecorded still occurred in my life that prevented me from enjoying at all times the fullness of the divine search.

Yet, the eye of God beckoned. The perception of God continued to call me. And I knew that it was a matter of divine and infinite destiny that one day I should receive the gift of the ascension. Yet, when the moment came, I knew it not, and scarcely as it was happening did I know it. Yet so wondrous was it, when I began to feel that buoyant joy, that caress of the Infinite upon my finite being that dissolved it altogether. And in its place, almost as the sea, spewed forth the beautiful, compassionate experience of molding me in cosmic form into the infinitude of God’s thought.

The perfect body appeared. The perfect mind appeared. The perfect soul ruled the world of my being. A surge of infinite strength came forth, and I rose into the air, into the arms of a similar dissolvement as had happened previously to beloved Jesus. For a cloud, too, of infinite, cosmic love received me out of the sight of men. And in the bond of cosmic compassion, I expanded my knowledge into the Infinite as cadences of loveliness, receding into a far and distant future, which appeared before me then as a mountain of hope. And I entered in to the joy of God. And the joy of God filled my soul, and darkness vanished altogether.

And in the mystery of being, I understood that others like me would follow also in the wake of my experience and would come to realize at last that the infinite lamp of God was always lit, awaiting the return home of the prodigal child and the lifting up of each individual who passed through this magnificent gift of attainment with the vestments of immortality.
