Dossier on the Ascension: The Story of the Soul's Acceleration into Higher Consciousness on the Path of the Ascension

The Sensings of Serapis

From the Teacher and the Teaching of the Path of the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid

Peace from the heart of Luxor.

I heard the discipline of God and I perceived it as the manifestation of his order. Out of the chaos and dimension of mortal mind and confusion, I perceived the luminous orb of Christed intelligence strike as from the star Draconis deep onto the pyramidal line.

And I saw the Chamber of the King. And I saw the Chamber of the Queen. And I saw the pyramid of lives. And I saw the Master Mason draw his line.

And I saw the security of the divine geometry. I saw the cubit stone. And I saw the measure of a man. And I saw how that every man must strive to fit the master plan. And knowledge was needed and a torch. And the chamber must be traversed, and initiation must come. And man must pass from death unto life.

For the sun and the moon and the stars and the luminous orbs of creation are concentric focuses, orbs of light, masses of light, masses of energy, of density, of outpicturization.

And man is so and knows it not.

For the whirling galaxy within is also under dominion.

And as a ship without rudder or compass or captain, so do compassless lives cross uncharted seas and individuals are lost, hearing not the voice of the Ancient Mariner and the voice of Truth that parts the veil of mortal lies and leads men to pass from the bondage of Egypt, across the Red Sea, beyond the desert of Sinai, and into the land of promise.

It is most unfortunate but it is true that in the disciplines of men their hearts are often so familiar with the cadences and lines of truth that scar tissue has formed upon the seat of consciousness within them until they can no longer derive satisfaction from the holy tenets of our faith. And our faith is in purpose.

And men must learn to still the mind as one would grasp a blade of steel and thrust it not forward one quarter of an inch until the command to do battle was given. A soldier exercises control and heeds the call of the captain.…

The cone of fire pulsates from dullness to the brilliance of the white light, and the residual ash is consumed itself. And the egg of the serpent must not be left, for it can well bring forth not only a serpent or a sea serpent but a dragon. And thus the cone of fire must be preserved until the blinding light of transposition, of transmutation does consume the dross and produce the fruit of the Cosmic Egg.

The ovoid of the Infinite is within the capacity of mortal men. But then, when invoked, they are no longer mortal. But immortality is of high price, and it demands the allness of men from the smallness of men.…

The very power of the mind of God which framed the world was to draw energy into a cohesive whole so that design by universal law could manifest through a cosmic geometry as all of the myriad forces of nature with their many patterns—helixes, cones, squares, circles, and many other geometric figures.

The use to which nature has put all of these various geometrical forms ought to show mankind that the mind of God has indeed drawn upon the knowledge of cosmic geometry to produce in the world of form a perfection of order which is very beautiful in structure. Contemplation of that by mankind ought to show that no happenstance was involved in the mysteries of creation but only a magnificent pattern of delight and order and intent and purpose.

If this purpose manifests as the harmony of nature, then this purpose, as order and discipline in the lives of the aspirants who would have their ascension, must come forth now.

I am speaking now to individuals throughout the planetary body who are not attendant here at Luxor but who desire to matriculate along the same lines as our chelas do here and participate in their own ascension at the close of this embodiment. To you I say, a more than ordinary discipline must be given.…

Guard, then, your harmony, that the cone may have little residual ash, that the dragon’s tooth will not be found within the dragon’s egg.…

Men cannot build out of mortal substance immortal bodies. They cannot build out of mortal thoughts immortal ideas. They cannot build out of mortal feelings divine feelings that enfold the world and create the great Pyramid of Life.

The great Pyramid of Life stems from the giant square of the Divine Architect’s mind, a mind that has all right angles and produces out of the four corners of substance the beauty of perfection rising from the spheres of mortal dimension.

Let men understand the meaning of this, for the base of life is in form but ariseth out of form. The social order, the order of individuals, the order of nations, the order of hierarchy—all orders are constructed geometrically. And the cubit stones that compose these divisions, becoming then unifications through cohesive force, are held together by the power of love that deems no sacrifice too great.…

The science behind the ascension is very great indeed. And the contributions necessary by mankind to the world order would build in the world order a pillar of great beauty, a pyramid of lives in harmony, a pyramid of architectural grandeur.

Then the greensward will stretch toward the four corners of the earth. Then the Pyramid will glow. Then the fire of the Spirit will transmute first the base stones, and the capstone will be the last to glow. For all energy in the capstone is from on high and that which is in the base is from below.

But the qualifications of the base must conform, by reason of thought and devotion, to the pattern from on high. And thus the fire will be drawn down first to the base stones. And then the capstone supported by the base stones will glow as the sweep of the great electronic stream from the heart of God moves down symmetrically and in perfect divine order through the entire structure, causing the Pyramid to glow on the greensward.

And it will come to pass that, with the accomplishment of the capstone crowning man’s achievement, the civilization of the golden age, the permanent golden age will begin.

And then the destiny of America and of the world will be outpictured because the pyramid of lives will have adjusted itself in conformity to divine principle.

And the Grand Mason of the Universe, the Eternal God, will himself express satisfaction by causing to descend out of heaven the hand that carries the torch.

And when this occurs, that which is below will manifest that which is above.…

I am Serapis. I have known the scenes of earth. I have known setbacks and I have known the strengthening whereby every loss has become an impetus for gain.…

I am known as the Disciplinarian, and working with me at Luxor are 144 instructors in the Temple of the Ascension where candidates are received each week who desire to serve a period of internship, of preparation for the ascension.

These are they who have walked the earth in the service of the Christ, in the service of the Buddha, in the service of God in man—whether tutored by ministers, by rabbis, by counselors, by priests, or devotees of the mystery schools.

For we measure candidates for the ascension by the action of God’s holy will in life, by the action of God’s holy wisdom in life, by the action of God’s holy love in life. And discipline is our byword.…

Let the strings of the soul be taut for the striking by the hand of the Master Harpist. Let the strings of the soul be God-taught. Let them be disciplined in the sacred fire, pitched at the point of celestial harmony.

The geometry of the soul is impelled into manifestation by discipline. And so I come, sent by God, as the Guru of initiates of the sacred fire.

If you would wait a million years for mastery, go find another. For Serapis is impatient for perfection.…

Perfection is a tangible reality here and now.

I think that those who think they cannot be perfect imagine that perfection is a straitjacket or a sterile quality lacking any verve or energy or joy or spontaneity. Nay, perfection is the flowering of the lilies, of the gentle violets. Perfection is a smile upon a face.

God does not measure perfection by human standards. After all, how can the human have a standard of perfection? God measures the motive of the heart, the love in the heart. And that which mankind criticize, God ennobles as perfection.

God is not concerned whether or not the drawing of the little child is letter-perfect according to the great artists of the times. God is concerned that the little hand has drawn a flower as the little heart has seen the flower.…

I am Serapis. I see the need for disciplined ones. And I see the futility of superimposing discipline upon the unwilling consciousness. Only love can draw forth from within your being the necessary components to your ascension. You cannot love yourself more than God.…

We need not complicate cosmic law. Cosmic law is love in action. Cosmic love is law in action. Cosmic love and law are your faith, your hope, your joy.…

And if you could see all that heaven holds in store for you, you would be swift and take the wings of the eagles to fly into our retreats in the highest crannies of the mountains. You would come, you would run from your earthly involvements. You would not tarry in Terra, you would rise and rise and rise on the fountain of light within. And then you would bring forth fruits of innovation, creativity, newness, ideas, blueprints—oh, so many wonders that the children of mankind are waiting to know and to hear about.…

To serve the Christ in all is to receive the reward of the Christ. To that end, I discipline. To that end, I initiate. And I am concerned with the top flight, the gold of consciousness.…

If you would be initiated then I say, be willing to come to the feet of your own reality first. Then be willing to accept that there is a reality which God has vested in beings, in masters who have gone beyond this phase and this plane, who have a greater grasp of the Real Self than you now do though you have equal opportunity to attain that grasp.

They have reached for the Infinite and they have won. But they look back and extend a hand, for they won by love for humanity.

Therefore I say, take the hand of hierarchy. Take the hand extended. Walk slow or swiftly but walk with measured beat, steady in the rhythm of your own Reality.

Press toward the mark and the prize of the high calling—the calling of the law of your inner Self. And know that if you would attain swiftly, I am there to impel you forward. I am there with the sword of the ascension flame.…

I am Serapis.
