The Astrology of the Great White Brotherhood
Most people have never heard of the Great White Brotherhood, and since it is the source of this astrology, I feel that there is a need to provide some information about it. The Great White Brotherhood is a heavenly hierarchy, for the most part. The word "white" refers not to race, but to the aura of white light around the forms of its members - they are "robed in white" (Revelations 6:11). Members of this Brotherhood have come from every nation, race and religion. They are called Ascended Masters because they have mastered all of life's lessons, balanced their karma, fulfilled their missions, and graduated from schoolroom Earth. They have ascended and become their Higher, Divine Selves. The ultimate goal of our lives is also to ascend and become our Divine Selves, to become Ascended Masters.
Many members of this cosmic hierarchy were once Earth's greatest religious leaders, teachers, and servants - ex., Zarathustra, Abraham, Kind David, the prophet Samuel, the pharaoh Ikhnaton, Gautama Buddha, Confucius, Kuan Yin, Pythagoras, Jesus, the apostle Paul, Saint Francis, Origen, Saint Catherine of Siena, Akbar the Great, Mohammed, George Washington, Yogananda, Padre Pio, and Mother Theresa. Certain unascended chelas, or disciples, of the Ascended Masters are also members of this Brotherhood.
While most people are unaware of the existence of the Great White Brotherhood, more and more people are discovering it. Edgar Cayce had referred to the White Brotherhood. Dannion Brinkley, the author of Saved by the Light, said that he met and was guided by Ascended Masters during his near-death experiences. Dr. Brian Weiss wrote about Masters in his book, Many Lives, Many Masters. I have found many Ascended Masters mentioned in New Age publications. If you'd like to learn more about the Great White Brotherhood and their teachings, I recommend reading the book that I use as a source in this paper and the many other books published by Summit University Press. You could also learn a lot by going to Ascended Master Network or www.tsl.org on the Internet.
One of the greatest goals of the Great White Brotherhood is the enlightenment of mankind. To accomplish this, the Ascended Masters began communicating their higher teachings through their embodied messengers over a century ago. They started in 1875* when the Master M. (El Morya), K.H. (Kuthumi) and others worked with Helena Blavatsky to found Theosophy. This movement introduced the Eastern teachings on reincarnation and karma to the West, and it greatly influenced some of the leading minds of the time (ex., Albert Einstein). Eastern thought also influenced the West through the efforts of Yogananda, the founder of Self-Realization Fellowship. In 1920, the Master Morya worked with Nicholas and Helena Roerich in founding the Agni Yoga Society. In 1930, the Ascended Master Saint Germain, the Hierarch of the Aquarian Age, began working with Guy and Edna Ballard to found the I AM Movement. In 1958, El Morya and other Ascended Masters founded The Summit Lighthouse through their Messenger, Mark L. Prophet. Mark was a Messenger until 1973 when he ascended. Elizabeth Clare Prophet, Mark's twin flame, is the present Messenger for the Great White Brotherhood.
