The “once and future king,” fifth- or sixth-century King of the Britons and Guru of the [[mystery school]] at [[Camelot]], an embodiment of [[El Morya]]. He drove the Saxon invaders from Britain, united the kingdom and established the order of the Knights of the [[Round Table]], whose code of chivalry bound them to defend the helpless from the wicked and evildoers and to uphold the ideals of purity, truth, mercy, faithfulness and generosity. | The “once and future king,” fifth- or sixth-century King of the Britons and Guru of the [[mystery school]] at [[Camelot]], an embodiment of [[El Morya]].

Within two years, while King Uther lay mortally ill, his enemies “did a great battle upon his men and slew many of his people.” Merlin bade the king to ride into the battlefield on a stretcher, for “if your person be there ... then shall ye have the victory.” So it was at St. Albans that Uther’s men overcame the “great host of the North.” | Within two years, while King Uther lay mortally ill, his enemies “did a great battle upon his men and slew many of his people.” Merlin bade the king to ride into the battlefield on a stretcher, for “if your person be there ... then shall ye have the victory.” So it was at St. Albans that Uther’s men overcame the “great host of the North.” | ||
The dying king returned to London, where Merlin called together all the barons of Uther’s realm in order that the king might name his heir. And Merlin said aloud, “‘Shall your son Arthur be king after your days?’” And Uther answered, “‘I give him God’s blessing and mine’ ... wherewith he yielded up the ghost.” | The dying king returned to London, where Merlin called together all the barons of Uther’s realm in order that the king might name his heir.

Arthur led his knights in the quest for the Holy Grail, the cup from which Jesus drank at the [[Last Supper]]. After his ascension, the Grail cup was deposited in a well at [[Glastonbury]] by a group of disciples who, together with [[Mother Mary|Mary the Mother]] and [[Joseph of Arimathea]], journeyed by boat from the Holy Land to establish shrines on the European continent and in the British Isles for the expansion of western Christendom during the next two-thousand-year cycle. | Arthur led his knights in the quest for the Holy Grail, the cup from which Jesus drank at the [[Last Supper]].

Thus El Morya, anointed by God (through Merlin, the reincarnated Prophet [[Samuel]], anointer of kings and prophets unto the people Israel), attuned with the Grail focus and by his noble ideals and spiritual genius, built the platform for the dissemination of the Christic light throughout the globe wherever the British went forth by its impetus to discover and settle new worlds.
