The Bridge to Freedom

THE LORDS OF KARMA

The Bridge to Freedom Foundation

The Chohans of The 7 Rays: "It is time the people of Earth made acquaintance with The Lords of Karma. They are The Final Authority for the lifestreams that belong to The Earth. They not only supervise and direct the embodiment of the soul but form The Judgement Council at the time of dissolution of the physical body. They delegate each soul to its proper Sphere (Astral Level) for its sojourn between enbodiments. Through Them must pass all petitions and applications for dispensations to wipe out the karma of The Race and transcend the natural Law of Cause and Effect. They are Lords of Mercy and Love and are approachable for a petition of worthy merit." "When one's intelligence assimilates the lesson being learned through karmic retribution, the need for suffering and punishment ceases to exist. When the consciousness is awakened to the cause and has corrrected its motive within, The Office of The Lords of Karma may waive the judgements of karmic pain, through mercy. They pass on combined petitions to release Mankind from the full recoil of mass karma by changing the motivating powers behind the actions of The Race." "When a member of The Human Race is bold enough to stand before the 7 impersonal and dispassionate Judges, it is seldom such an application is denied. It is one thing for a liberated Master to request a dispensation for the people of Earth, but quite another for a man to recognize a need and further the possibility of moving a natural Law by self-conscious initiative and endeavor." "All applicants for dispensations must pass through The Council of The Karmic Lords and show cause for the transcending of The Karmic Laws Which are The Authority over The Earth. If That Law is to be transcended, it must be proven that such mercy will, ultimately, be a good thing for The Race. To mitigate or destroy karmic retribution is possible, otherwise there would be no hope of efficacy in prayer." "A dispensation is a grant of mercy given upon a worthy request. The Law of Moses (an eye for an eye) can be transcended through grace. Seemingly miraculous answers to prayer are positive proof of this fact. Herein lies the hope of Man. If He were required by The God of Love to pay every jot, every tittle, the chain of evolution would be endless. It is within the right and compass of every man to petition The Source for dispensations of mercy for his fellow man. Man must show just cause for such a grant, offering himself as a sponsor for the people." "Karma is merely energy qualified to act by individual or natural will moving in an outgoing and incoming circuit. The effect of this karma will be determined by the motive within the qualifying intelligence when the invisible cause was set up. The Natural Law is that karma, The Law of Cause and Effect, must spend Itself. If, however, the motive that has created evil karma is changed, the motivating intelligence educated, The Natural Law can be superseded by mercy and the causes set into motion wiped from the screen of life even before they are apparent to aught but the inner eye. This is the promise of tomorrow and the hope of today, the power of dispensations, and the mercy of The Karmic Council."

Lord Mahachohan: "The Law of The Circle (Cause and Effect) is a stern teacher, for there is no prompter but pain and unhappiness and, much later, love. What the infant learns through experience, the mature man may learn through contemplation and observation. Energy acts on the instant. Its recoil may take centuries, but return it will. This is karma, good and evil. The mantle of The Spirit of God may deflect the full impact of this return current when the soul signifies a willingness to learn the cause for his pain. Later, the awakened soul may join the transcending powers of The Higher Laws and transmute any arrested karma mercifully inanimate during his search. The deflecting, the suspension, and the meting out of karma is all under the supervision of The Lords of Karma, Who are authorized by The Sun Itself (The Solar Logos)." Archangel Michael: "When from the consciousness of both the laggards and the people of Earth flowed discord, just as the fog flows over The Earth and the seas, so did this veil cut off the inner sight and close Mankind from conscious association with The Angelic Host and Ascended Masters. As the discord flowed forth, that was the beginning of what is known as the psychic and astral realm, and The Original Lords of Karma, Who were designed only as a Governing Body to see that each Root Race and The Sub-races (of each Root Race) came into embodiment at the appointed time and not to render any service of judgement, had to be increased in numbers from 3 to 7 and had to arrange for the balancing of the discord of The Race." "At the time of so-called death the karma was piled up, and the individual, according to his Light and developement, was either given a period of rest in what is called The Sleepers' Realm or taken immediately before The Karmic Board." Goddess of Liberty: "In the early ages, before the human creation was woven out of the mind and feelings of Mankind, We did not have what is called a Board of Karma. There were but 3 of Us Who functioned as a Liberating Council before Whom came every lifestream taking embodiment. Then at the end of earth life, again before Us came that same lifestream bringing in the sheaves and a harvest of a life well lived. Since there was no discord manifest through any consciousness, there was no need for judgement, no need for balance, no need for karmic retribution." "Then came the time when Man had learned to create discord from Primal Life, taking liberty with the gift of God which is life itself, and fashioning out of that life imperfection. It was only after the laggards from the other planets were admitted on The Earth, and they through the power of thought and feeling contaminated the consciousness of the natural evolution upon The Planet Earth, that the requirements for a Board of Karma drew forth from The Heart of The Silence those other Beloved Sisters and Brothers Who make up The 7 Beings." "This Board designates those who are to embody (incarnate). At each such choosing, one

lifestream is chosen to embody and 2 remain at Inner Levels. Then, there again in The Office of Cosmic Mother, it has been my opportunity and blessing to say to you, 'You are at liberty, child, to take embodiment and, again drawing on Primal Life, endeavor to fulfill your Divine Plan'. Again you grasp the gift of liberty and, with the breath of life within, you take great liberties with that life. Then after your 3 score and 10 years, when the soul is weary, the flesh body disintegrated to a point where it is of little use, again My Office requires that I say to that soul, 'You are at liberty to lay down the flesh vehicle for awhile'." "One day, when your service to this planet has been completed, when you have taken the stand within The Immortal Flame of Life within your heart that you will not take liberties with life, and when you allow The Christ Spirit, in mind, feelings, word, and action, to go free, one day you will have served enough. That shall be the happiest day in all my experience when I say to you, 'Beloved, you are at liberty to be free from The Wheel of Birth and Rebirth forever, at liberty to come Home and go out no more." "Because My Lifestream and My Flame were given the responsibility of liberating the Life Essence of all embodied spirits on Earth, I have been, from the very beginning, The Spokesman of The Karmic Board. But this year (1953), because of the tremendous assistance that has been given to Mankind by you who are conscious of the work of The Brotherhood, you who are conscious of The Transmuting Violet Flame, and you who are conscious of our endeavors to awaken the lifestreams of those chosen to be the forerunners of The Cosmic Christ Age, The Sun Itself (The Solar Logos) chose to give to Our Beloved Sister Kwan Yin, The Goddess of Mercy, the place of honor at The Head of The Karmic Council. In That Appointment, The Earth will see such mercy, compassion, blessing, and endowment of dispensations as has never been known in recorded time." Kwan Yin: "It has been my privilege this year (1953) to sit on The Throne as Spokesman for The Lords of Karma. This Great Office, Which has been held by The Goddess of Liberty through century after century of time, has been entrusted to Me in an endeavor to secure, from The Cosmic Law, certain dispensations of mercy which will allow Mankind greater ease in walking forward upon Life's Pathway into freedom and perfection. In This Office, I am grateful to say that The Great Lords of Karma and The Law of Life Itself are allowing Us, through the use of The Sacred Fire, to melt away those accumulations of The Guardian Spirits with much greater intensity than has ever been allowed since The 3rd Golden Age when Lemuria (Mu) opened the doors to the laggards of This System." Kwan Yin: "The Karmic Board is an Instrument of mercy rather than an Instrument of judgement. It is our desire, and was long before We qualified for Membership upon This Board, to give every soul and every electron, making up every form belonging to The Planet Earth, the greatest possible assistance to the manifestation of its divine pattern and plan." Great Divine Director:

"The Lords of Karma stand as The Embodiment of mercy endeavoring to mitigate the evil created by Mankind and to, in every way, lessen the load which is the individual and collective heritage of The Race through the use of Primal Life in ages that have been. The understanding of The Offices of The Members of The Karmic Board will bring to the consciousness a greater realization of That Divine Love Which has made Us willing to accept this rather thankless service." "Every lifestream, having magnetized Primal Life and chosen self-conscious intelligence and desiring, through the use of free will, to determine how to use energy, has created a heritage of karma, the good becoming the glory of the causal body, the evil becoming the weight of the personal aura as well as the contributing factor to that great seething mass of energy called the psychic and astral realm. This is the veil between the glories of The Kingdom of Heaven and the earnest consciousness of the bound. It is the responsibility of The Karmic Board to see that these energies, woven out of the life substance of the evolution on this planet, are transmuted, purified, redeemed, and returned to the natural estate of perfection which they expressed when they were invoked and drawn forth from The Bosom of The Eternal." "It is the responsibility of The Karmic Board to develope, through individual consciousness, a realization of the ways and means by which polluted energy, carrying the stamp of a lifestream, may be drawn back into the individual's world and purified, returning through the door of consciousness into its natural estate as part of the glory of the causal body." "It is the responsibility of The Karmic Board to see that the incoming lifestreams of each generation, bringing with them the heritage of their own personal karma, do not over-balance the already weighted Earth and carry It off its axis. It is therefore our responsibility to examine the karma of each lifestream who is about to embody and to see that the karma of the lifestream leaving The Earth is about in balance. It is also our responsibility to allow, into the 12-month cycle of birth, enough lifestreams who have the capacity to transmute energy and to try, in each generation, to remove a portion of the psychic creation (negative thought-forms at The Aetheric Level), thus endeavoring to advance the redemption of The Earth in these rhythmic cycles." "The mass human creation, which is the veil of maya, is also called the psychic and astral plane and has been generated by every unascended being who belongs to this evolution. The individual karma of every lifestream who has been given The Ascension has been transmuted prior to the invitation to dwell in The God-free Realm. No lifestream becomes God-free who leaves a heritage of pollution behind, for that would not be mercy nor justice." Therefore, when individuals ask for opportunity to complete their cycle and gain The Ascension in the course of one embodiment, it is made extremely clear to them by One of Our Members (of The Karmic Board) that a portion of their obligation will be to recall and transmute all of the substance and energy, carrying the stamp of their own lifestream, which has been misqualified through free will and which is a weight upon The Earth. It is then necessary for The Karmic Board to discover whether or not a lifestream can possibly render such a personal service of purification in the course of one earth life."

"Mercy would not allow Us to grant the title of Candidate for The Ascension to a lifestream whose heritage of bad karma would be too great for the developed consciousness to transmute. If the returning karma was quickened and the catapulting energy of the invoked impurity was directed toward the soul and the soul did not have certain inner understanding of The Sacred Fire, certain fortitude, certain spiritual maturity, more harm would be done than good because permanent discouragement and an overwhelming sense of defeat would be woven into the aetheric body." "As you pass through that experience, poised and centered in your own God Flame, untouched emotionally, mentally, aetherically, or physically, but impersonally passing that energy into The Violet Fire (The Transmuting Flame), you are building into your causal body that minimum of 51% which will magnetize your lower vehicles and draw them Home when that purification takes place which is required by Law. In the early ages, when We were required to balance every jot and tittle, the lifestreams of The Initiates went through far more trying experiences." The Chohans of The 7 Rays: "Orderly system, divine justice, absolute exactitude in the balancing of the personal, planetary, and universal use of life is Law. The Lords of Karma are Instruments of This Law. The Members of This Board serve in order to give opportunity to each soul to grow spiritually, sublimate its human nature, develope and externalize the portion of The Divine Plan which can be expressed only through that particular lifestream." "The Law of The Circle, creating causes and reaping their ultimate effects, is inexorable. Energy, magnetized and used by man, must return to that man as happiness or unhappiness. Man, caught in the web of his own making, feeling the return of the misqualified energy of his imperfect causes, sooner or later calls to God for help and assistance. It is then that greater assistance can be given such a man by The Lords of Karma, although They serve all evolutions impersonally with but one idea in mind: to help the individual, the planet, and The Universe to express more of God's Perfection in whatever Sphere the lifestream abides." "Because the karma created by an individual soul is sometimes very great, The Lords of Karma mercifully withhold the return of all that karma in one lifetime. Thus the soul is allowed to mitigate as much karma in one embodiment as The Lords of Karma feel it can handle in happiness and peace." "When an individual desires to become a Candidate for The Ascension, The Lords of Karma must be in one accord as to whether he has the necessary strength, fortitude, faith, illumination, and general capacities to endeavor to balance the scales of justice in one lifetime. Without the knowledge and persistent use of The Sacred Fire of Mercy and Purification (The Violet Flame), no individual can completely purify his energies in one embodiment. It is imperative that The Candidate for The Ascension realizes that the returning karma seeking redemption is allowed to find its way back to that Candidate in order to more quickly set him free. Sincere students, faced with much of this karma, fall into the erroneous thought and feeling pattern of failure because they seem to have more to handle than their fellow man. The reverse is true. These individuals are handling, in one lifetime,

that which others might have to handle in hundreds of lives." "It is the responsibility of The Lords of Karma to see that every individual receives as much assistance as is possible in sublimating the destructive karma created through the misuse of free will. At the end of each earth life, the soul is called before The Karmic Board and its experiences, opportunities, potential services, seeming failures, and successes are examined carefully. Then The Karmic Board sends the individual to That Sphere (Astral Level) where it can best prepare for another earth life, strengthened through purification, instruction, and temporary respite from the pressures of its own karmic retribution." "Before a new embodiment, the soul is again examined, and the best possible conditions are provided for birth in the family, race, and nation which will allow it to work out that portion of its karma which The Lords of Karma feel it can handle. Chelas and conscious students of The Spiritual Law often choose to take on more karma than The Lords of Karma would allot them. Then when re-embodied, these earnest ones tend to blame The Karmic Board instead of realizing that the opportunity of such redemption of misqualified life was their own voluntary choice." "When I (Jesus) said, 'Thy sins are forgiven thee', I used the power of The Sacred Fire (The Violet Flame) in this manner and interceded on behalf of the individuals whom I desired to set free from the effects of their own misuse of life." "Destructive karma can be dissolved before it acts if the students will consciously set The Violet Fire into action to do this. All our gathered momentum of its efficacious use is available for any and all who choose to ask Us to anchor into their worlds at this time our momentum and feeling of that power." Master Serapis Bey: "When the souls pass from The Earth, they are in various states of consciousness. Conscious students are met immediately by their Ascended Master or some Member of The Angelic Host. They are almost always eager to present themselves at once to The Karmic Board with the harvest of their life's endeavor. These students and their Sponsors go individually to The Karmic Board, usually within 12 hours of the time of passing, but it is not a requisite. The mercy of The Law is such that, after the soul passes from the body it is given what is called a spiritual vacation, a little release and relief from the pressure which usually rises to a climax as a lifestream comes closer to passing." "The average individual, anticipating reunion with family and friends, is given every opportunity to vacation with these loved ones for a certain period of time and renew associations. The conscious student usually dispenses, as much as possible, with anything that does not actually apply to the progress of the soul. For the most part, he wishes to quickly come before The Karmic Board and receive his judgement on his service to The Light." "That which associates Cosmic Judgement with discomfort is the experience each soul has when he stands in the freedom of the aetheric body and looks back, seeing what he might

have done. It is that sense of individual remorse, that feeling that one has when he sees what he could have done while he had the opportunity and the means and while he was in proximity to certain individuals of spiritual merit. He then is assigned (to an Astral Level and School) and has to learn what he could have learned here." "The student, who stands before The Karmic Board in the greater freedom of the inner body and looks upon the promises which he made before he took birth, looks upon the causal body as also does The Sponsor and The Karmic Board. He sees the size, the color, and developement of the causal body at the time preceding birth and then sees the harvest in the causal body of the good done in the life just lived. Sometimes the causal body expands very little in size and color in one earth life. This is the judgement which The Karmic Board and the individual conscious student make together to see what store has been laid up in Heaven by conscious work according to the life, talent, capacity, and vows of the individual." "The conscious student, after receiving certain directions from The Karmic Board, immediately sets to work at Inner Levels to expiate as much of his karma as possible. This effluvia is what is called the psychic and astral realm. The student, consciously proceeding into this realm, goes to work with The Violet Fire and renders the same service, at Inner Levels, that you are endeavoring to render while yet in your earth bodies." "The Church has called that experience entering Purgatory or Limbo. People feel that It is a place of punishment, but It is not. It is a place where conscious expiation by individuals of the sins, through the free will and desire of the student, can be assumed. Thus when he gets a new earth body, much of his karma is already transmuted. The more service he renders here (The Inner Levels) along this line, the less he must do on Earth." "Even those who are Candidates for The Ascension, when they enter The Inner Levels and when preparing for The Ascension, must pass through that mental, emotional, aetheric, and physical purification of those various strata where there yet stand untransmuted, discordant creations of their own. That is why the period of adjustment preceding The Ascension, even of those who are given their freedom, sometimes takes months or years." "Individuals who do not believe in an existence after death or who are the very tired and sluggish-minded who would prefer to pass into annihilation, or those people who go out exhausted, in great shock, or who pass out through a violent death, as well as a great many who go out in war conditions, enter The Realm of The Sleepers for a period of rest." Goddess of Liberty: "As The Earth Plane grew dense and The Karmic Board was required to be established, I as Spokesman had the opportunity to give the final word for each lifestream chosen to embody in the 12 months and to say, 'You are at liberty now to take embodiment'. This is one reason why I have held That Office for so long. Then, through the mercy of The Cosmic Law, The Beloved Kwan Yin prepared for the coming of Opportunity (Portia, The Divine Complement of Master St. Germain). Now Opportunity sits upon The Throne at The Head of The Karmic Council (beginning in the 1950's)."

Master El Morya: "Portia, as Spokesman, holds in Her Hand The Sceptor of Power, Which is St. Germain's Rod of Power and Authority as the presiding Chohan for the next 2,000-year Cycle (The Aquarian Age)

THE HALLS OF KARMA The Chohans of The 7 Rays: "Situated in the lower Aetheric Realm is The Great White Square Building Which has been referred to by many as The Judgement Hall but Which, in reality, is a Temple of great mercy and love known as The Halls of Karma. Through this Building passes every lifestream at some time after its release from physical embodiment, and through the same Building must every re-embodying soul pass before it is given its assignment into a new earth body." "There is no lifestream that is not acquainted with The Halls of Karma, and it is often because of The Sphere (The Astral Plane) to Which the soul is delegated because of its questionable activities in life that the individual has brought back a dread of judgement and has incorporated, into the theology of the various creeds, the erroneous doctrines of the wrath and punishment of Jehovah." "The great process of evolution requires that the souls of men must embody in a physical body and learn to master the control and qualification of energies in order to qualify for certain Spiritual Offices in The Scheme of Universal Evolutions." "In order to regulate the entrance of these souls into physical bodies, give them an opportunity to develope and mature on The Earth, and then release them at the close of a certain Cycle to make room for other lifestreams awaiting an opportunity to enter The Schoolroom of Earth, a Board of Celestial Beings was created whose many, diversified, and complex responsibilities are concerned with the provision of the greatest possible opportunity for each one of the 10 billions souls belonging to this evolution. This Body is known as The Karmic Board, and its decisions are final in connection with the disposition of the affairs of Mankind except, in rare instances, where petitions are placed before The Suns of The System and dispensations are granted to accelerate the progess of The Race." "If the soul has come to the end of its cycle of embodiments on Earth and there is a possibility that The Ascension may be attained, The Messengers of The Karmic Board often come for the individual before he has finally passed on. Such a one is examined and, if his energies qualify him to attain his Victory, he is given the choice of accepting The Ascension or waiting until a later date in order to re-embody and better serve Mankind. If he chooses to accept The Ascension, sometimes a few days or weeks before the silver cord is finally severed, the lifestream, under the direction of its own I Am Presence, then completes its cycle of manifestation in The Ascension into The Light. If this occurs before passing on, there is usually a great lightness and happiness about the individual which signifies the anticipation of release to come. The far greater percentage of Mankind, however, are not ready for this

tremendous Accomplishment, and it is particularly to those lesser sons of men that The Karmic Board is so exceedingly kind." "At the moment when the soul is about to leave the physical body, The Personage of The Mahachohan, Who was present at the birth of the individual and breathed the first breath into the body, prepares to accept the final breath of the departing spirit. As The Mahachohan accepts the breath, the silver cord is severed, and an Angel or Ascended Master awaits the soul and conveys such a one usually to the gentle and comfortable rest that is the orthodox Heaven of mankind's general belief." "Here, after a shorter or longer rest, during which time the soul is allowed to meet certain friends and loved ones who are available if they have not re-embodied or have not been assigned to inaccessible heights (Higher Astral Levels), again appears a Messenger of The Karmic Council, and such a one is summoned to appear before Them and to be assigned to such a Sphere (Astral Plane) or schoolroom as They, in their great Wisdom, feel will best hasten the developement of the God nature within the individual lifestream." "The great mass of sleeping souls pass through The Karmic Halls in groups. They are in rather a somnambulistic state during the entire procedure and are gently carried by Spirit Guardians, after the mass judgement, to a suitable Sphere where they may be awakened at least a little. The average good individual, who has developed certain God principles and spiritual interests, has earned individual cooperation, and the smaller and more select number of chelas and spiritually developed lifestreams have earned the special assistance of The Karmic Board." "When individuals approach The Halls of Karma, they see the great high doors open wide. Groups of individuals are entering through the arched doorway under the guidance of Angelic Beings. Also, the other single spirits, accompanied by shining Beings of Light, are approaching and joining the groups ascending the stairs toward The Portals. As they draw near the open doors, which seem to dwarf even The Greatest Beings Who enter through them, they are overwhelmed by the great size of The Building and the long corridor that stretches before them almost as far as the eyes can see." "As they proceed along the corridor, they notice doorways opening off the central corridor, and over each doorway is the name of a country: China, India, Argentina, and so forth. From time to time they see groups of individuals, who apparently have left the body as a member of the race or country indicated by the sign over the door, turn off from the main corridor and enter these small antechambers. They are apparently awaiting summons by a Messenger of The Karmic Council." "Proceeding along the entire length of the corridor, they finally come upon The Great Audience Chamber and enter quietly, seating themselves just inside the door. This large Chamber is similar to The House of Commons in England, and upon the raised dais in the front of the room are 7 Throne Chairs, although usually only 4 chairs are occupied, The Great Lords of Karma acting for each Other, and only at the half-yearly Teton Councils (The Retreat at The Grand Tetons) do The 7 Members officiate as One Body. Usually 4 preside unless we have cataclysmic action, great numbers go out of embodiment, or there are great

petitions. Four carry the majority in representing The Law." "The Karmic Board was created for less than 6 billions souls, and there are presently close to 10 billion depending upon It for their salvation." "The seats are all occupied with individual souls together with their Sponsors, or with groups of individuals together with their Guardians and Protectors. A Great Angelic Being calls the name of the individual group, and they rise, together with The Sponsors if any, and proceed to the front of the room where the record of the life just ended is read in a loud and disconcerting voice by The Angel of Record. Then The Christ Self (of each person) reports on what might have been accomplished according to the natural talents of the individual and the opportunities afforded the lifestream through the kindness and mercy of life and The Great White Brotherhood, Who are constantly looking for ways and means by which the soul may expiate certain debts to life in constructive, impersonal, and altruistic services." "Before judgement is handed down and the lifestream or group is given into the keeping of The Being Who will take them to a schoolroom and enroll them in the active study fitted for their evolution and progress, never with a sense of punishment but always with a sense of developing the latent Light in the heart, any Member of The Brotherhood may speak for such a soul and offer to take the responsibility for him if he is released into the custody of The Brother. If this is done, the individual soul is given to The Ascended Master or Angel Sponsor and proceeds to a much higher Sphere (Astral Level) and receives much greater assistance than that which he has earned by merit." "This is where the efficacy of the prayers for the dead and the supplication for assistance for one's loved ones becomes so potent, because by drawing the attention of an Ascended Master toward the soul about to enter The Halls of Judgement, always, without question, The Master will either go in Person and offer to sponsor the soul or will send a Representative or chela to speak for that soul and conduct him to a proper place where, in time, The Ascended Master will visit him and assist in his evolution." "At no time does The Karmic Board punish a lifestream. Their complete and entire concern is with the providing of the very best natural conditions for the developement of the spiritual nature of the individual. If an individual has lived a very wicked life, it may be necessary that he experience the feeling of the quality of energy he has charged into life. This is done in order to impress the consciousness that such qualification is not in accord with Divine Law." "The Ascended Master Morya (Chohan of The 1st Ray) asks for those who have been active in governmental affairs, even if they have seemingly failed in their tasks. Kuthumi (Chohan of The 2nd Ray), if not present Himself, always has a pupil present and He claims almost all those who pass from the body in youth. Paul The Venetian (Chohan of The 3rd Ray) asks for those who have worked on His Ray in endeavoring to bring or sustain peace and brotherhood. Serapis (Chohan of The 4th Ray) speaks for the artists, musicians, the architects, engineers, and builders of beautiful temples, cathedrals, cities, etc. Hilarion (Chohan of The 5th Ray) speaks for the doctors, the scientists, the nurses. Jesus (Chohan of The 6th Ray) speaks for those who have served Him well in the orthodox channels. St.

Germain (Chohan of The 7th Ray) speaks for the particular lifestreams who, consciously or otherwise, have forwarded The Cause of Freedom, either from political, religious, or mental and physical bondage." Master El Morya: "Often the lifestreams of those who have been benefited by the souls in life are called in to speak for them, and even members of the 4-footed Kingdom bear witness to kindness given them, and all this is taken into account. Seldom does a soul arrive before The Karmic Board who does not have at least one lifestream that has benefited in some way by reason of its embodiment." "After the soul is spiritually evaluated and his Light measured, he is taken to some one of The 7 Spheres (The 7 Levels of The Astral Planes) and here, under the direction of Beings particularly prepared to teach him, he unfolds in understanding until his Guardian signifies to The Karmic Board that he is again ready for an opportunity to re-embody." "It takes some time to secure the right to re-embody, and the potential worth of the soul is taken into consideration by The Lords of Karma in deciding which one shall be offered the privilege. The Guardians of The Race and the highly evolved usually forego their sojourn in The Higher Realms in order to hurry back to help The Race, and they are always passed first by The Karmic Board. This sometimes accounts for the lack of physical energy in this embodiment, because they have foregone the period of rest in The Higher Spheres which replenishes the inner bodies and refreshes the spirit in the same manner that a good night's sleep rests the individual while in embodiment." "After The Karmic Board has agreed to provide an opportunity for re-embodiment, there comes the period in which the karma of the individual about to re-embody must be examined and a suitable embodiment prepared wherein a certain proportion of that karma may be worked out and certain opportunities given to right wrongs of past lives and gain merit and momentum of good for the causal body. Very carefully is the amount of destructive karmic energy meted out so that there is not more for the individual to meet in the forthcoming life than his Light and strength can master. The saying, 'The Lord prepares the back for the burden', is fundamentally true, except that it was the back and not The Lord that earned the burden, but The Lord, in his mercy, lightened the pack." "It is no small task, on the part of The Karmic Board, to judge the worth of a soul and its capacity to assume the full return of the karma in one earth life. When the karma has been allotted, the environment and race chosen, the parent decided upon, then the soul is notified and the body elemental called from the rest it has secured in its own Realms. The soul and elemental are told of the forthcoming embodiment, the body elemental is shown the aetheric pattern of the body the soul has earned, and then The Builders of Form (The Devas), The Christ Self, and the elemental begin to prepare for the next embodiment. Then through the same Halls of Karma passes the embodying soul into The Earth Plane." "When enough voluntary energies have been released from the members of The Human Race that The Halls of Karma can become The Portals for Eternal Freedom for every lifestream,

and as the last one passes through to return no more, the doors of The Judgement Hall may be closed for eternity, and The Recording Angels, sealing the door, may say with Jesus, 'It is finished'." Kwan Yin: "The Judgement Hall has been clothed in human concepts and used as a weapon to flay the souls of men into reluctant obedience for many centuries by the priests and guardians of religions through the various ages. Therefore, The Mankind of Earth have, within their aetheric consciousness, a dread of Judgement Day and a dread of Those Who administer justice. We are in the unenviable position of being the impersonal Spokesmen for The Cosmic Law, the conditions of which you have made yourselves through the ages. It is you who are your own mentor, your own judge, your own punishment, and your own reward, but through man's unconscious desire to place the blame on any shoulder but his own, he has made a scapegoat of The Karmic Board." "We, Who have sat, age after age, meeting again and again the same hopeful spirits filled with vows and promises awaiting birth and the same sad and disillusioned ones returning in the course of a few short years with a pitiful harvest, are happy indeed to say that We are accepted now, not as Instruments of punishments but of opportunity and hope. It gives Us pleasure indeed." Master Hilarion: "The Halls of Karma are a magnificent sight. You are all familiar with Them. You have all entered through That Great Door, walked down that long hall into one of the anterooms, and awaited your summons to appear before The Karmic Board time and time again. Your aetheric body is charged with the memory of your experiences before The Board and your remorse for that which was left undone. That is why, so often, Judgement Day and The Karmic Board bring a sense of dread into the consciousness. But yet It is a Place of great mercy. The Chohans (of The 7 Rays) or One of Their Representatives always stand within The Halls of Karma when great numbers of people are judged."

PETITIONS Lord Mahachohan: "The exact procedure followed by an individual, a Master, or a group of dedicated beings who are to apply to The Lords of Karma for dispensations or mercy is somewhat as follows: The Master or bold member of The Race receives a divine inspiration in the quietude of his own God-contemplation. He recalls it again and examines its possible worth as a means of fulfilling The Divine Plan and widening the borders of God's Kingdom. He then developes and matures this idea in his mind and nourishes it with the love and strength of his own feeling nature. If he is a member of a Retreat, he will, no doubt, present this proposal to his Brothers, and it will be incorporated in the group petition of The Retreat at The Great Council. If he is working independently, he may prepare this petition and, upon entering

The Teton Halls, give his scroll to The Being Who is in charge of placing them upon The Great Bulletin Board Which is situated outside The Audience Chambers." "This enables many lifestreams to acquaint themselves with the proposals that are to be presented, and if they find merit and interest in any particular petition, they are allowed to place their names on the scroll, thus signifying to The Master sponsoring the petition that the lifestream so signing is willing to support the measure at such time as The Karmic Board will hear the petition and ask for the presentation of individuals who will back such proposals, release the energies required to fulfill them, and cooperate according to the best of the individual's powers and capacities in forwarding such a Cause for world good." "The Retreat or individual Being sponsoring such a Cause is then assigned a private meeting room, and here They are free to entertain the members of The Race and The Brotherhood as have signified an interest in their proposed Plan. Thus The Representatives from The Retreats of the world, as well as The Individual Masters, spend the first 15 days of their stay at The Teton Retreat (bi-annually) in gathering constituents for Their Cause." Master Kuthumi: "I have seen beings from India and China who have made the same petition for 10,000 years, some wonderful Plan for relieving mankind's mental or physical distress, and at the completion of their plea, not one soul stood and offered his energy to help them. Not having found one sponsor among unascended Mankind, they have had their petition refused for lack of interest and support from those whom such a Cause would benefit." "Many of The Mankind of Earth, free in their inner bodies, enter The Heart of The Teton and join one or more of The Brothers and Sisters offering to back their petitions with their voluntary energies. Unascended beings are also privileged to offer suggestions of an impersonal nature they have received in contemplation or prayer of benefiting The Race as a whole. These are usually adopted by The Great White Brotherhood and incorporated into a Cause of a similar nature, or the student may be given opportunity to apply for assistance before The Karmic Board to fulfill That Plan. They favor initiative and selflessness when expressed through the consciousness of individuals who are yet a part of the mass karma of The Race." "Many individuals volunteer to assist several distinct movements, and good people are sometimes amazed at the activity in which they find themselves engaged, for they are not always cognizant of their volunteering to assist The Masters while functioning in the greater freedom of their inner bodies. It is well, therefore, to pray that you may live up to your inner pledges and to your own Light." "The Brotherhoods all over The Earth send Messengers to represent Them, bringing their petitions and Plans, ways and means for helping the evolution of The Race in the next 6-month period. Petitions, ideas, and spiritual designs to purify The Earth and raise its people to their own natural God Estate are discussed by The Brotherhood and chelas. They place these petitions in the hands of One of The Brothers. The Brothers and Sisters from the various Retreats present their petitions to The Keeper of The Scrolls or report to their various

Sponsors." "All scrolls are presented to This Brother Who scans them carefully. Sometimes He makes a correction or perhaps a deletion before He returns it to the petitioner. It is The Office of The Keeper of Scrolls and His Assistants to get all similar ideas together and present them to the visiting Hierarchy Who may weave them into their own petitions." Master El Morya: "Long before the actual presentation of the petitions to The Karmic Board takes place, The Hierarchs of The Retreats, The Messengers from other Systems, The Representatives from The Angelic and elemental Kingdoms, as well as many of unascended Mankind are drawn toward This Great Focus (The Teton Retreat). Wherever necessary, these are provided with individual council rooms of which there are many. The scroll, which these guests bring containing their petitions and ideas, is then recorded by The Angel of Record and approved or disapproved according to the directions of His Superiors. There is always a beautiful Angel placed in charged of receiving the scrolls. This Angel of The Scrolls is chosen yearly as an honor to That One for having rendered some special service in the world of form. Thus, This Office of service is permanent, but The Angel Who receives the scrolls is not always the same One each year." "The scroll, if approved, is then placed upon a panel outside the door of the council chamber to which its author has been assigned. Here, posted on the door of his room, his petition is in full view for the perusal of all the visitors to The Retreat. If its contents stir an interest in the self-conscious intelligence so perusing it, that one is invited into that council chamber and given audience by The Hierarch Who is there. He willingly explains the further details of The Divine Plan. Then, such an individual may sign his or her name to the scoll thus offering his energies, from whatever Realm in which he abides, to help fulfill The Divine Plan in the coming year. All those signing will be called by The Hierarch at the time of the presentation of the petition to The Karmic Board, and that one, then, will have to be willing to accept responsibility for helping to fulfill This Plan." "During this time, there is a period of general counseling together, and many a good, constructive individual, whose energies, talents, gifts, and powers could not alone have measured up to manifesting the fulfillment of the ambitious plans he has presented for approval, is taken under the wing of some Sponsor. This One either incorporates the sincere student's Plan into That of his own or will offer to help that student to fulfill his own Plan. It is entirely a free-will endeavor." Master Kuthumi: "At the half-yearly Council (at The Teton Retreat), each Retreat and each Master Hierarch gathers together all the plans, hopes, visions, suggestions, and designs of The Members of His Retreat and from these developes a suitable presentation to offer before The Karmic Board and the assembly as the possible service and contribution of That Retreat and Its Members for the next 6 months. Each Retreat is assigned a small conference room where one of The Brothers is always in attendance upon any lifestream who has read with interest

the proposed Plan and who signifies a willingness to contribute the voluntary energies of his own waking consciousness to forward such a Plan. Thus, before the general presentation of The Plans and Designs, The Brother or The Sponsor of a petition knows fairly well what He can expect from Mankind, also what support He will receive from The Karmic Board. There is always hope, however, that when the actual petition is read, those attending will become interested enough to back His Cause." Lord Mahachohan: "Each Retreat and individual is called forward in successive order according to rank and purpose to present the petitions. Many petitions and Plans are heard, The Sponsors presented, and the grants given by The Karmic Lords, and sometimes a Messenger from The Central Sun (of The Galaxy) is present if more than ordinary dispensations are to be offered. These ideas are presented to The Lords of Karma and, when feasible, The Lords of Karma grant the petitioners opportunity to develope the seed ideas into practical, workable forms which will benefit The Emotional, Mental, Aetheric, and Physical Planes. The results of the grants and dispensations given at previous Conclaves determine much of their leniency and cooperation at succeeding Conclaves." "When the petitions and suggestions by The Members of The Retreats, as well as the conscious chelas, are presented to The Karmic Board, after reading them, the individuals making the petitions are given the opportunity of asking for what voluntary support any member of the assembly or The Brotherhood might choose to give to their Cause." Master El Morya: "After the hearing is completed, The Lords of Karma counsel together. They weigh, in the balance, the specific good that can be accomplished, the potential workers, and the amount of substance and energy that will have to be contributed from The Universal Storehouse, The Stockpile of Cosmic Light, to further such a Cause, and their findings determine the extent of their grant. There is given, into the keeping of The Sponsor, an exact balance for that voluntary energy which becomes his dispensation of grace and which will form The Causative Center of Spiritual Fire Which is The Heart Center and motivation of His Cause." "He is at liberty, during the entire year, to draw forth, by his own application, as much additional energy as possible to nourish His Cause and to utilize freely whatever voluntary energies He can coax from those interested in His Design. Each returns immediately to The Center of his own Sphere of Influence (Master's Retreat) and sets into motion the most intense activity whereby The Cause He serves may quickly find fruition in the world of form. This is very important, for He is called upon to report on what He has done with the grant of Energy given Him by The Cosmic Council at the next half-yearly meeting. It is the petitioner's own energy and practical application that must make his dream a fact." "According to the use made of the ideas which have been accepted and confirmed by The Karmic Board during the past year do They allow greater and greater freedom to those bringing new ideas for the next year."

Master Serapis Bey: "The petitions that are presented to The Karmic Board are always paid for by Someone's Life. The Great Archangels, The Mighty Devas, and The Masters of Wisdom Who petition The Karmic Board for dispensations always guarantee service through the use of their own Life for the grants that They receive." Archangel Gabriel: "Dispensations that are asked for and dispensations that are granted require the investment of tons of energy of some Intelligence, The Sun (The Solar Logos), The Angelic Host, or some God Being. There is no dispensation granted to an embodied soul or God-free Being that does not require the weaving of the energy of such a One into a fulfillment of that." Master El Morya: "The investment of our energies is completely determined by what the fruits of such investment will be. No personal activity is ever taken into consideration in any dispensation that comes down from The Karmic Council. The entire decision rests upon the benefit and blessing that The Race as a whole will receive, what progress such investment of energy insures to the evolution to which We choose to give those energies." "Our energies no longer belong to Us once We become a part of The Great White Brotherhood. We sign them away on behalf of Cosmic Progress, and We must ask and receive acquiescence from The Law to reach our hands through the veil and to give worded description of that which engages our energies and promptings which you can weave into your own lives, if you choose, and then manifest as fruits and harvest." "The Law says, 'Prove your faith in works'. That fiat comes to Us all, God-free or bound. One day the words that leave your lips, the affirmations that you write with pen, will be challenged by The Law, whether you are an Eloah (one of The 7 Elohim) or a human being." "The individuals stand up on the high golden rostrum and present their petitions to The Karmic Board. The 7 Lords of Karma hear the petitions and suggestions of The Masters and representatives of The Angelic, Devic, Nature Kingdoms, and human beings and then pass upon them. Every Retreat, Individual Master, and human being is allowed the opportunity of presenting, before The Karmic Lords and The Council, such plans, petitions, or proposed endeavors as they have conceived as possible aids to mankind's evolution. It is entirely within the discretion of The Lords of Karma as to whether such dispensations, grants, and plans are practicable at a given cosmic hour." Lord Lanto: "When The Karmic Board hears the petitions and suggestions, these proceed in order, starting with The Lord of The World (Sanat Kumara) and The Brotherhood at Shamballa, The Lord Buddha and His Group, The World Teacher (Lord Maitreya), The Mahachohan and Brotherhood at Ceylon (Sri Lanka), Archangel Michael representing The Angelic Host,

Oromasis on behalf of the elemental Kingdom, The 7 Chohans starting with Morya (of The 1st Ray), the other Ascended Representatives of Retreats and Foci, and then the unascended beings have their turn." Master El Morya: "It is required of such a petitioner or Sponsor to not only show cause as to how the investment of additional substance and energy required to further His Plan will permanently benefit The Race but further to present to The Lords of Karma voluntary energies contributed from The Race to be benefited who will aid His Cause according to their capacities and evolution." "When The Brother or Sister finishes presenting his or her proposition, The Spokesman for The Karmic Board asks, 'Who among Mankind will choose to assist You if We give you a grant upon this petition?'. The Sponsor or The Brother then must rely upon the voluntary cooperation of unascended beings. For the grant is dependent not upon the cooperation of The God-free but upon how many unascended beings are willing to give a part of their energies impersonally to forward this particular Cause." "It is to the great interest of The Race, The Council, and The Brotherhood to have as many members of The Human Race present in their inner bodies as possible in order that every plan, petition, and dispensation requested by The Guardians of The Human Race may be backed by the voluntary support of the peoples of Earth who will, of course, be the greatest beneficiaries." "The chelas are given opportunity to present petitions, and if they do not have the capabilities of developing these plans entirely, through their own endeavors, sometimes a Master or Angelic Being will accept the responsibility of incorporating those plans into the activities of his particular Retreat or Personal Endeavor. Such a Divine Being also often offers to assist the zealous but not fully capable chela in bringing to fruition those plans. Then, The Lords of Karma, looking upon the causal bodies of The Divine Beings, their chelas and Mankind en masse, study The Thought-form for the year (given by The Planetary Logos) and the possible assistance such plans would be to the developement of the united Endeavor of The Spiritual Hierarchy. After such thorough research, The Karmic Board gives or withholds acquiescence to develope That Plan." "At these half-yearly Councils, The Members of The Brotherhood report on the results of their activities individually and the activities which their particular Retreat has sponsored and furthered through the last 6 months. All of Those Who were given grants and dispensations by The Karmic Board and allowed more than ordinary opportunity to further some such Cause are requested to show how They have invested The Life loaned to Them and what actual results They have manifested through their endeavors. Upon these reports, the amount of good that has been done, further grants, dispensations, and directives depend. So all are eager and desirous of bringing as much harvest as possible to the feet of The Tribunal." "The Karmic Board reserves decisions until It has heard all of the pleas and all of the petitions from all assembled and then finds out, from the assembly gathered there, how many

of the unascended lifestreams will cooperate in the manifesting and bringing forth of that petition in the year. According to the number of chelas who offer to assist The Masters and according to the capabilities within the lifestream of those offering to really be of assistance is the grant or dispensation given or withheld." "When all the petitions have been heard and all the energies that might be used in helping to fulfill the terms of these petitions have been weighed by The Karmic Board, certain grants of energy are given to Masters and chelas as well. Then the individual initiative, constancy of purpose, and capacity to weave the idea into practical form determines how efficacious has been such a grant of energy. Future grants are determined by past works." "Students can, through their group activities, offer a specific service to The Karmic Board. When such service is found meritorious, The Karmic Board gives additional qualified energy and power to the individual or group sponsoring such a petition or design. This energy doubles or trebles the energy of the sponsoring group and comes from a Spiritual Stockpile of Cosmic Light Which is dispensed according to The Cosmic Law." Master Hilarion: "After The Lords of Karma hear the petitions, They remove Themselves from The Thrones and go into the silence. After deliberation, They hand down the decisions within several days." Lord Mahachohan: "The Lords of Karma enter the atmosphere of Earth and take up their solemn duty in The Council Hall (of The Grand Tetons), and their decisions determine the activities of The Brotherhood for the next 6-month period of the year. They hear and weigh all petitions placed before Them by both Ascended and unascended beings." "The Lords of Karma are enthroned in a semi-circle above The Great Altar Which forms The Central Focus of Power for the meetings. They face the audience from high in the atmosphere over The Altar. Their Thrones are in The Aetheric Realm above the mountain itself." Master Jesus: "The Chairs are very beautiful. In the center of each is a jewel, symbolic of The Ray (One of The 7 Rays) Which The Member of The Karmic Board represents, visible above the head of The Seated Figure. It is a magnet to draw the most powerful Concentrate of That Ray from The Elohim (The 7 Elohim), The Archangels, The Chohans, and all connected with That Ray. Emerald Throne Chairs were a permanent gift of The Brotherhood to Them in 1954. Only The Lords of Karma wear The 7-pointed Crown, Which is the symbol and authority of The Karmic Board." Mother Mary:

"The Messengers from The Karmic Board are magnificent Beings. They wear deep-royal purple robes and have emblazoned across the breast the scales of justice in perfect balance and The 7-pointed Crown upon their heads. They carry the scrolls, bound in purple, which are the summons for souls to appear before The Karmic Council. Every soul that passes from the body meets One of These Karmic Brothers at some time or other according to his free will. The conscious chela usually takes the scroll immediately. Each scroll is an opportunity for the soul to meet the judgement of his lifestream and be assigned to a period of expiation and given an opportunity for understanding The Law of Life in some school or temple (on The Astral Planes). They enter the temples according to free will. The more bad karma they dissolve by entering into the service there, the quicker are they free to go into a Higher Realm and the better earth life they will receive when they do embody again. Individual application for the good of the whole enables the soul to rise higher." Mother Mary: "Early in the year right after The Teton Activities, for a few months, The Karmic Board selects the lifestreams who are to embody that year. At the same time, those who volunteer to embody present their petitions. During this time preparation goes on for their re-embodiment. Those who can best serve The Light Pattern of The Thought-form for the year are given opportunity, also those who because of the work they have done at Inner Levels and the karma they have expiated. Some who have the most difficult karma to balance are sent in also." Lord Mahachohan: "Once each year, during the beautiful and mystic month of May, The Lords of Karma draw together all the lifestreams that have been chosen to embody within that 12-month cycle. All the potential mothers of The Race are also brought, in their finer bodies, to the assembly, and each soul meets and embraces the mother chosen, for reasons of past ties, karmic debts, or potential service, to be the channel through which the soul shall secure a physical garment. If either the child or the mother chosen by The Karmic Board does not approve of the alliance, they are given the opportunity of speaking, and then The Christ Self of each soul, child and parent, makes the final decision. If the lesson to be learned will best benefit the soul, even if there is an antipathy between the 2, the union is inwardly consummated." Lord Maitreya: "The Karmic Board is presided over by The Goddess of Opportunity and Justice (Portia), Twin Flame of Beloved Master St. Germain. She is the embodiment of mercy and The Representative of The 7th Ray to This Earth. Because of Her Position as Opportunity, Justice, and the action of Mercy through The Flame (The Violet Flame), there is much greater freedom now for those who desire to serve The Race than there was before She was given This Position of Authority and of trust as Spokesman of The Karmic Board." "The Individual Who is The Hierarch of The Retreat or The Representative of The Hierarch receives the beautiful scroll, tied in the deep purple, which is the authority and opportunity to use their own initiative and energy to return to Their Retreat and to weave, out of the

opportunity given, whatever They can to externalize That Pattern and Plan Which They have presented to The Board and Which The Board has considered feasible. The Representative of each Retreat is The One Who kneels before Blessed Portia and receives that scroll which is the opportunity to externalize that gift within the year. The other Beings following on give Her the radiation of blessing, bowing the head in honor of Her Light."
