Buddhic Essence, The

In every age the great spiritual teachers have established their communities--Gautama Buddha and his sangha, Jesus and his disciples, Saint Francis and his brothers. In this book Elizabeth Clare Prophet draws on the teachings of the ascended masters and her many years of experience as a leader of a spiritual community to present examples of the challenges and joys of applying universal principles of community in the real world. She said, "I wish to bring you a deeper understanding of the meaning of the flame of community. It is the flame of the Holy Spirit, hence it is the flame of love. The figure-eight flow of love that stands between the guru and the chela contains the entire community, and it contains the worldwide community of the unascended chelas of the Great White Brotherhood."

Mystics are those who seek a direct experience of the Presence of God. Mysticism is not exclusive to Christianity. It is the vital, animating element at the heart of every religion. The spiritual marriage, the mystics tell us, is not merely a conforming to the ways and will of God but a total transforming of the soul into God. And this is the heart of the teaching that you only whisper: The soul that is transformed into God is God. Download free chapter
