  The Masters and the Path   by Charles W. Leadbeater

It has been said that the history of every nation could be written in the biography of a few individuals, and that it is always the few, towering above the rest, who initiate the great forward steps in art, music, literature, science, philosophy, philanthropy, statecraft, and religion. They stand high sometimes in love of God and their fellow-men, as great saints and philanthropists; sometimes in understanding of man and Nature, as great philosophers, sages and scientists; sometimes in work for humanity, as great liberators and reformers.

  A Casebook of Encounters with the Theosophical Mahatmas   Compiled and edited by Daniel H. Caldwell

Henry S. Olcott: "He said he would show me the production of flowers as the adepts do it. At the same time pointing to the air, fancy - the shadowy outlines of flower after flower and leaf after leaf grew out of nothing. The room was perfectly light; in fact the sun was shining in. The flowers grew solid. A beautiful perfume saturated the air. They were suspended as the down of a thistle in the air; each separate from the other. Then they formed themselves into bouquets and a splendid large one of roses, lilies of the valley, camelias, jessamine and carnations floated down and placed itself in my hand. Then the others separated again and fell in a shower to the floor. I was stupefied with the manifestation."

  The Prince of the House of David: A Series of the Letters of Adina   by Joseph Holt Ingraham (1809 - 1860)

These "letters from Adina" are a beautiful account of the Life of Jesus. Edna Ballard used this literary work as a resource for the "I AM Come" Pageant in Shasta Springs, California. Adina was a contemporary of the Master of Galilee and a past embodiment of Edna Ballard (now the Ascended Lady Master Lotus). This "pdf" text written by Joseph Holt Ingraham is a moving re-creation of Adina's eyewitness accounts of Jesus' Ministry: "Upon our knees, in speechless amazement, we followed His Ascent with our amazed eyes, not a word being spoken by any soul; nay hearts might have been heard beating in the intense expectation of the moment! Lo! in the far-off height of heaven, we beheld suddenly appear a bright Cloud, no larger than a man’s hand, but each instant it expanded and grew broader and brighter, and, swift as the winged lightning, descended through the firmament downward, until we beheld it evolve itself into a glittering Host of Angels, which no man could number, countless as the stars of heaven."

  The Source   by Henry van Dyke, with an Introduction by David Tame

"The Source is God. More specifically, for each individual it is their own Individualized Mighty I AM Presence. The Water represents the Light of God as illimitable ‘electrons’ of Purity, Life, Love, Abundance, Perfection, and all of God’s Qualities as that Light flows down the crystal cord from the God Self or I AM Presence to the four lower bodies. The Light flows down the cord individually for each person, but collectively a society or civilization rises or falls, and displays or contains all these Qualities of God’s Abundance, according to how much of the Light is received by the peoples collectively."

  Mystery Schools Through the Ages   by Grace F. Knoche

"A Mystery School is a university of the soul, a school for the study of the Mysteries of the Inner Nature of man and of surrounding nature. By understanding these Mysteries, the student perceives his intimate relationship with Divinity, and strives through self-discipline and devotion to become at one with his Inner God."

Library of Theosophical Literature from the late 1800s & early 1900s

CAUTION: Please note! These research library links are made available for their historical value and interest - not because of their accuracy. There is much that is erroneous, inaccurate, or incomplete. Back in the late 1800s & early 1900s, these authors did not have the benefit of the setting aside of the occult law. The Dispensation by the Karmic Board for the establishment and expansion of The "I AM" Activity by Ascended Master Saint Germain through Guy and Edna Ballard in the 1930s led to the release in great detail of a number of Teachings not previously known in such clarity and precision outside of the Masters' Retreats and Temples. Today in the twenty-first century, the Ascended Masters are publicly releasing the correct understanding and Teaching of the Truth of the Law. Beloved Vesta has promised that this clear defining of the facts will continue to occur through The Temple of The Presence and will be "an ongoing Release of Light from the Heart of the Great Central Sun to bring forth the Truth and the Reality of God. Where there is error, where there is a misrepresentation, it will be dispelled by My Representatives. And My Representatives will go forward in the Fullness of the Light. And where that Light stands, no untruth, no unreality can stand."   (Vesta, October 11, 1998 Copyright © 1998 The Temple of The Presence ®)
