Boðberi
Guðspjallamaður. Sá sem fer á undan englunum og flytur fólki jarðarinnar fagnaðarerindið um Jesú Kristi og, á tilteknum tíma, hið eilífa fagnaðarerindi.[1] Helgivaldið smyr boðbera Stóra hvíta bræðralagsins sem postula þeirra (þá sem „sendir eru í trúboð“). Þeir flytja með fyrirlestrum (spádóma) uppstignu meistaranna vitnisburði og týndar kenningar Jesú Krists í krafti heilags anda til sæðis Krists, hinna týndu sauði úr húsi Ísraels, Matt. 10:6; 15:24.</ref>og til hverrar þjóðar. Boðberi er sá sem er þjálfaður af uppstignum meistara til að taka á móti orðum, hugtökum, kenningum og boðskap Hvíta bræðralagsins með ýmsum aðferðum; sá sem flytur lögmálið, spádómana og ívilnanir og blessanri Guðs til lýðs og aldar.
Boðberar í gegnum tíðina
Guð hefur alltaf haft boðbera sína. Eftirfarandi eru nokkur dæmi:
Mark L. Prophet, nú hinn uppstigni meistari Lanelló, var kallaður af El Morya árið 1958 til að stofna The Summit Lighthouse (Ljós-vitann á tindinum) og setja fram kenningar hinna uppstignu meistara fyrir vatnsberaöldina. Mark var einnig boðberi á fyrri æviskeiðum. Sem spámaðurinn Nói, fékk hann spádóminn um flóðið og áminnti og hvatti fólkið í meira en hundrað ár. Sem egypski faraóinn Ikhnaton, boðberi Atóns (sólguðsins), innleiddi hann eingyðistrú. Mark starfaði einnig sem boðberi bræðralagsins í hlutverki bandaríska lárviðarskáldsins Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
Boðberarnir Guy og Edna Ballard, nú hinir uppstignu meistarar Godfre og Lótus, stofnuðu I AM Activity (ÉG ER-starfsemina) í upphafi 1930 undir stjórn Saint Germains. Þeir þjónuðu sem boðberar hans og fluttu fyrirmæli hinna uppstignu meistara um öll Bandaríkin. Á fimmtándu öld var Lótus uppi sem Jóhanna af Örk, boðberi Guðs sem flutti franska hernum leiðbeiningar Mikaels erkiengils og bjargaði þar með Frakklandi.
Mary Baker Eddy, sem stofnaði Christian Science movement (Kristnu vísindahreyfinguna) seint á 1800 laut leiðsögn Jesú, Móðir Maríu og Páls postula. Nú er uppstigni kvenmeistarinn Theósóphia, hún gegnir stöðu gyðju viskunnar.
Boðberar Jesú Krists hafa meðal annars verið Páll postuli', Jóhannes hinn elskaði og heilög Teresa frá Avila '. Páll postuli er nú hinn uppstigni meistari Hilaríon. Í síðustu holdtekju sinni var hann heilagur Hilaríon, sem Jesús notaði sem starfstæki sitt til að lækna mannfjöldann. Jóhannes hinn elskaði, „lærisveinninn sem Jesús elskaði,“ fékk boðskap Opinberunarbókarinnar frá hinum uppstigna Jesú. Heilög Teresa frá Avila, sextándu aldar umbótasinni Karmelreglunnar á Spáni, talaði oft við Jesú. Hann sagði einu sinni við hana: "Ekki vanrækja að skrifa niður það sem ég segi ... ég skal gefa þér lifandi bók." Hún er nú uppstigni kvenmeistarinn Kristín.
Jesus Christ was himself a messenger. In his Galilean embodiment, he delivered the words of Lord Maitreya, whom he referred to as “Father.” He had previously served as a messenger in his embodiments as the prophet Joshua and the prophet Elisha. As Elisha, he received the mantle of the prophet Elijah.
Elijah ascended to God in a chariot of fire. As prophesied by Malachi, he returned to earth to go before Jesus as John the Baptist. Thus, as both Elijah and John the Baptist, he served as God’s messenger.
The prophet Samuel, the last of the judges of Israel, received his calling as a messenger when he was a child. Through Samuel, God anointed David as king of Israel. Samuel is now the ascended master Saint Germain.
The prophet Moses, the messenger of the I AM THAT I AM, was called to deliver the Israelites out of bondage in Egypt. Exodus records: “The LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend.” He is now the ascended master Lord Ling.
The coming of Moses was prophesied 13,000 years ago by Ernon, Rai of Suern, a messenger of God at the time of Atlantis. His subjects, the Suernis, rebelled against his discipline, and Ernon warned that they would have to wait some ninety centuries for their next messenger, “him who shall be called Moses.” The Suernis reincarnated as the Israelites, among the seed of Abraham.
The patriarch Abraham, “father of many nations,” was called the Friend of God. The LORD God called Abraham out of Ur of the Chaldees and promised him “I will make of thee a great nation.” Abraham is now the ascended master El Morya.
Abraham tithed to Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God. Melchizedek was the messenger of God described in Hebrews as being “without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days nor end of life but made like unto the Son of God.”[2]
The patriarch Enoch, who “walked with God,” was the messenger of Sanat Kumara, the Ancient of Days, spoken of in the Book of Daniel. In the Book of Enoch, Enoch records the revelations of Sanat Kumara on the true nature and deeds of the fallen angels.
The preacher Ecclesiastes was in the lineage of the messengers of God. He was a soul from Venus who embodied to teach mankind.
Lord Gautama Buddha, another messenger of Sanat Kumara, founded Buddhism in the sixth century B.C. For forty-five years, he preached throughout India, spreading his doctrine of the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path and the Middle Way.
Zarathustra, messenger of Ahura Mazda, founded Zoroastrianism in ancient Persia.
Hermes Trismegistus, ancient Egyptian sage, was called the “scribe of the gods.” He is now the ascended master God Mercury, whom El Morya has called “the archetype of the messenger of the gods.”
The first messenger of God that you know is your own Holy Christ Self. Your Holy Christ Self brings you the message of your mighty I AM Presence—if you have ears to hear and a heart that is inclined to Truth.
Nicholas Roerich and Helena Roerich were messengers of El Morya early in the twentieth century.
