First Public Dictation / Discourse:

• January 23, 1938   San Francisco, California U.S.A. ¹

Embodied as:

• Serapis was embodied as a high priest in the Ascension Temple on Atlantis who migrated to Egypt at the time of the destruction of Atlantis more than 11,500 years ago. ³
• He was the Egyptian pharaoh Amenhotep III, c. 1417-1379 B.C. called "the Magnificent." He brought Egypt to its height of diplomatic prestige, prosperity and peace. His extensive building of monuments, palaces and temples included construction of the temple of Luxor, which was built to correspond to the outline of the human skeletal framework. Careful studies of its architecture have revealed that the entire temple explains many secret functions of the organs and nerve centers. While in embodiment in Egypt as Akhenaton IV and Amenophis III he built the Temples at Thebes and at Karnak.³
• Serapis was also embodied as Leonidas, king of Sparta. In 480 B.C., with only three hundred soldiers, he resisted the advance of Xerxes' vast Persian army in a Herculean effort at Thermopylae. Though finally defeated, their fight to the last man is celebrated in literature as the epitome of heroism in the face of overwhelming odds, and it inspired the Greek people to resist invasion, and cleared the way for the classical "Golden Age" of Greece. ⁵
• After being killed as Leonidas in the battle of Thermopylae, Serapis immediately re-embodied as Phidias (c.480 B.C. - c.430 B.C.), the greatest of all classical Greek architects and sculptors. He brought forth the design of the Parthenon and supervised the building of it (dedicated in 438 B.C.) ^{3 7}
• Serapis Bey reportedly Ascended in about 400 B.C. ⁶
• In the nineteenth century, Serapis Bey worked closely with El Morya, Kuthumi, Hilarion and other Masters to found the Theosophical Society. ⁸ A series of letters from Serapis to Olcott encouraging him to support Blavatsky in the founding of The Theosophical Society were published in the book Letters from the Masters of the Wisdom. ⁹

"The Ascension is an inevitable part of the Divine System. It consists of these initiations: the Transfiguration into the Divine Configuration, the ritual of Crucifixion upon the cross of Matter, the Resurrection from dead substance, and, at last, that of the Ascension Flame Itself which raises man out of the domain of his recalcitrant energies and all treacherous activities, mortal imperfection and error. The Ascension is the beginning of the Kingdom for each one . . . "

Beloved Serapis Bey
through the Messenger, Mark Prophet,   1967, U.S.A.   ⁴

During the Transmission Flame Activity, at the Retreat at Luxor on March 19, 1960, Serapis, asked the students there to emulate in discipline the ancient Spartans, of whom Serapis, as Leonidas then, in His last embodiment on Earth (480 B.C.), was the King.

". . . In Sparta, only the strong endured. History refers to the Spartans as strong of body; Oh, No! As King of Sparta, from infancy I watched the strong of spirit, the strong of mind, the balanced of emotions, and the etheric purity of the lifestreams, before they were chosen to become members of the Spartan Era, and the others were not cruelly treated; they just faded away. . . The Spartan Kingdom was a clan of Valiant Spirits, embodied in gracious and controlled flesh vehicles, dedicated and consecrated only to be examples of Self-Mastery. . . For every vigorous discipline under which My followers went, I voluntarily took seven such disciplines.

"Yes! There was a Thermopylae! Only for the scholars among you will that bring remembrance for at Thermopylae, not only Myself but all My faithful band, so trained, dedicated and consecrated to bringing the Christ Life to all, were extinguished by the forces of darkness insofar as our flesh bodies were concerned. . . Their famous epitaph may be translated: 'Here we lie Sparta, obedient to thy Word.' It was a temporary experience of course. . . . " ⁵
