The Chela and the Path
Keys to Soul Mastery in the Aquarian Age There is little biographical information of a traditional nature available about El Morya Khan, the Master who authored this landmark book. He is perhaps the most revered of the Tibetan Mahatmas, reputedly born as a Rajput Prince in the Indian class of warriors and rulers, esteemed for thier courage and honor. His date of birth is uncertain. Now, however, the precious teachings of El Morya, given through his Messengers Mark and Elizabeth Prophet, are available to all who would learn from the Master. In "The Chela and The Path," a series of letters addressed to disciples of today, El Morya clearly points the way for all who aspire to a higher level of consciousness. This book contains personal instruction from Ascended Master El Morya for all spiritual seekers and chelas (students of a spiritual teacher). With the incomparable skill of a Zen master, El Morya teaches us to become who we are, to see beneath the surface of daily life. He teaches of the divine light above and the divine light below, and the many layers of awareness that surround the soul. This book is foundational for those who would not only know their true potential, but fulfill it. softbound 170 pp.

A CHANNELED BY THE CHURCH UNIVERSAL AND TRIUMPHANT LEADER
Elizabeth Clare Prophet (1939-2009, aka ‘Mother’; leader of the Church Universal and Triumphant) wrote in the introductory section of this 1977 book, “This book contains facts we all need to know in order to meet the challenge of life in the twentieth century. That challenge is to understand and to be who and what we are---right in the midst of turbulent uncertainties, the disintegration of self-awareness, and the monolith of mechanization that mark this civilization. Our very life, even the integration of consciousness itself, is at stake in the challenge of just living from day to day… Who is the Ascended Master El Morya?... El Morya’s credibility lies in the fact that he has attained to the enlightenment of the Buddha and the ascension of the Christ. What’s more, he says that if we follow the same teachings of the gurus which he has followed, we too can attain. And then this will be OUR credibility.” (Pg. 7)
She continues, “El Morya lived as the brilliant mathematician and astrologer, Melchior, the wise man who visited the infant Messiah at his birth. As King Arthur, he governed the vast territory of Britain and instituted the council of the Round Table. As Thomas à Becket… he gave his life to preserve the Church from royal aggression. Later as Thomas More, he died a martyr… As Akbar the Great, Mogul emperor of India, he established order through enlightenment … as the poet Thomas Moore, he became loved as … the national lyricist of Ireland. He ascended at the conclusion of the nineteenth century…” (Pg.10-11)
She explains, “‘Chela’ is a term meaning student or disciple of a religious teacher. It is derived from the Hindi ‘cela,’ which is taken from the Sanskrit ‘ceta,’ meaning slave. In the Eastern tradition of chelaship… one desiring to have the mysteries of universal law imparted to him applies to the teacher, known as the guru, considered to be a master… to serve that teacher until he is found worthy to receive the keys to his own inner reality.” (Pg. 19)
She states, “The violet flame … is indeed the seventh-ray aspect of the Holy Spirit… the light of the Christ is refracted for mankind’s use in the planes of Matter. Each of the seven rays is a concentrated action of the light of God having a specific color and frequency resulting in a specific action of the Christ in body, mind and soul.” (Pg. 47)
She adds, “Being is electronic. Therefore another name for the I AM Presence is the Electronic Presence. Just as you have been taught to visualize the I AM Presence as the flaming identity of God surrounded by spherical rings comprising what is known as the causal body, so you may visualize that being which is your God-reality as a galaxy of light, a spiritual forcefield of tremendous cosmic power, wisdom, and love that is your very own.” (Pg. 59)
She asserts, “Make no mistake. Though organizations have failed, though individuals have betrayed the trust of God and man, the Great White Brotherhood continues to sponsor qualified leadership in outer activities and to use them both as the threshing floor where the chaff and the wheat may be separated to prove who is worthy of association with hierarchy. The Keepers of the Flame Fraternity … are examples of individuals sponsored by hierarchy to represent true Church Universal and Triumphant to all who are able to receive them.” (Pg. 104)
She states, “there is abroad… an enticing spirit, beguiling as the serpent, that is not the true spirit of prophecy… it is the voice of rebellion and of witchcraft… There are the crystal ball gazers, the psychic readers and self-proclaimed messiahs… coming in the name of the Church yet denying the true Church, coming in the name of the Logos yet their lives a betrayal of true reason and the law.” (Pg. 116)
She says, “In 1876, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky was ordered … to write ‘Isis Unveiled.’… Mary Baker Eddy was given certain revelations which she set forth in ‘Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. Though at times beset with their own preconceptions and the burden of the mass consciousness, these witnesses codified the truth dan the law of East and West as the culmination of thousands of years of their souls’ distillations of the Spirit.” (Pg. 121)
