Hello and welcome to today’s episode, “The Great White Brotherhood: Guardians of Spiritual Evolution.”
Let’s begin by looking at what we mean by the term, ‘The Great White Brotherhood.’ If you are not familiar with this concept, it is referring to a spiritual fraternity that transcends cultural and religious boundaries. It consists of saints and sages from both Eastern and Western traditions who have walked the earth just like we do. However, they have permanently reunited with the Spirit of the living God, and they are part of the heavenly hosts.
It’s important to understand also that the term "Great White Brotherhood" does not refer to race or ethnicity but rather to the purity of the spiritual light and consciousness that these beings embody. The color white symbolizes purity, divine light, and the highest form of spiritual attainment.
The concept of a spiritual brotherhood that is composed of enlightened beings is a profound and ancient idea. It reflects a universal belief in the existence of highly evolved masters who guide humanity toward greater wisdom and understanding.
Who Are These Enlightened Beings?
Every ascended master belongs to the Great White Brotherhood. To review from previous episodes, ascended masters are individuals who have incarnated on the earth, who have mastered time and space, fulfilled their reason for being, and have permanently reunited with the Divine Source, the Spirit of the living God, I AM, in the ritual of the ascension.
They dwell in a higher state of existence on the etheric plane, which is in an eternal realm of pure consciousness where they are free from the cycles of karma and reincarnation. This same ascension of permanently reuniting with God I AM is the goal of life for you and me and all of God’s sons and daughters.
Individuals have ascended throughout history and across all cultures and religions. Their purpose is to inspire and uplift humanity in all areas of life. For instance, they inspire creative and moral achievements in fields like education, the arts, governance, and spiritual life. They work together in harmony. They are united by their dedication to our spiritual evolution under the guidance of the Divine.
The Purpose and Mission of the Brotherhood
The primary goal of this spiritual brotherhood is to help us to return to the consciousness of Divine Oneness. They do this by spreading an understanding of the cosmic laws that govern both the individual and the universe. Because when we understand and follow these laws, it leads to greater peace and harmony, fulfillment in our lives, and ultimately to the reunion with the Divine.
The Brotherhood also represents God's plan for helping humanity to evolve spiritually, not just as individuals but as a collective whole. Through their quiet influence—quiet only because most people are not aware of them or how they serve us on earth—they work to bring about positive change. They perform miracles of healing and guidance in a world that has strayed from the path of righteousness, and they go to battle with negative and evil forces that work to control our planet.
Although spiritual in origin, the Great White Brotherhood maintains a very real contact with people on the earth today. Higher initiates are quite aware of their contact with the Brotherhood, whereas lesser initiates work and serve without any conscious knowledge of the contact. The Great White Brotherhood functions also on other planets and in other systems of worlds.
Who Are the Members of the Brotherhood?
In our previous podcast, we talked about the seven rays, their color frequencies and the ascended masters who are in charge of each ray. These masters are called the Chohans of the rays. These and many other ascended masters comprise the Great White Brotherhood.
But let’s look at some of the most recognized figures:
Jesus Christ: The living Christ, the fullness of the incarnation of the Word and the Universal Christ, our Lord and savior and the avatar, or master, of the Piscean age. His Galilean ministry was a magnificent manifestation and fulfillment of centuries of intense preparation and divine intent.
Jesus came to reveal the individual Christ Self to all of humanity. He demonstrated the works of the Father that can be accomplished by His sons and daughters through the flame of the individual Christ Self, which is Christ within each of us.
He exemplified the Christ consciousness that the children of God were meant to manifest during this two-thousand-year cycle of the Piscean age, which is now coming to a close. Jesus also came for the judgment of the evil forces in the earth as revealed with his words, “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword” and “For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son." [John 5:22]
Saint Germain: Saint Germain is the avatar for the Aquarian Age, which we are on the cusp of entering now and which is meant to be a golden age. Saint Germain said he qualified for his ascension by making one million right decisions—a clue for us. As an ascended master, he was given a dispensation (an allowance) to embody on earth. He was embodied in Europe in the 1700s as the Count of Saint Germain and he was known as the "Wonderman of Europe” and “the man who knew all things" due to his miraculous feats that he performed. He worked with the courts of royalty in trying to unite the nations of Europe but they did not heed his advice, and it resulted in the French Revolution.
Saint Germain is the Chohan of the seventh ray of alchemy, transformation, and the violet flame, which is a spiritual energy that transmutes negative energies. He released the knowledge of the violet transmuting flame to the outer world in the early 1930’s.
El Morya: El Morya is the Chohan of the first ray of divine will, power and protection. He works with God-government in America and all the nations in the world, and he works with world leaders and all those who serve in leadership positions. He is a teacher and guide for spiritual seekers on the path of divine purpose.
Kuthumi: Kuthumi, another master who holds the office of world teacher and is the embodiment of wisdom and love. He assists in the development of intuition and understanding and often works closely with those who seek to uplift humanity through education and healing.
These masters, along with many others like Serapis Bey, Hilarion, Mother Mary and Lady Master Nada work as a unified group. They oversee the spiritual growth of the planet and offer personal assistance to those of us who are open to their guidance.
The Brotherhood also includes in its ranks certain unascended students of the ascended masters. Jesus Christ revealed this heavenly order of saints “robed in white” to his servant John in Revelation. [Rev. 3:4, 5; 6:9–11; 7:9, 13, 14; 19:14.]
Accessing the Wisdom of the Great White Brotherhood
You can connect with the masters of the Great White Brotherhood through meditation, prayer, studying their teachings, studying the Bible as many have been embodied as the biblical figures in the old and new testaments, and other spiritual practices.
As a sincere seeker, the masters will respond to you with inspiration, inner guidance, and protection. But as Jesus said, “Seek and ye shall find. Knock and the door shall be opened.” [Luke 11:9] The masters do not interfere with our free will, so we must invite them into our lives.
You can invoke the presence of the ascended masters, asking for their assistance in both personal and global matters. Prayers, decrees, meditation, are often methods of connection.
Visualizations, affirmations and the use of the violet flame are tools to assist with the personal and planetary transformation.
Functions of the Brotherhood
In 1968, the Ascended Master El Morya, who is also the Chief of the Darjeeling Council of the Great White Brotherhood, released a fifteen-point program of assistance for that year. These points sum up the purposes of the Brotherhood through the ages, so they are relevant today.
El Morya writes:
“Who can deny the needs of this hour or of humanity? Who should? It is our earnest desire to render the following assistance to mankind individually and collectively as they are able to respond to the ministrations of the Heavenly Hosts:
1. to step up the level of individual service in order to provide for greater clarity of understanding to men of lesser comprehension;
2. to set forth in a most desirable manner the higher teachings of cosmic law for those who are able to grasp them;
3. to create more stable ties with the Hierarchy through our cosmic outposts in the world of men;
4. to introduce new levels of integrity, justice and faith in government and business and in religious, scientific and artistic endeavors;
5. to assist those who have seen or experienced little of the heavenly kingdom by amplifying the power of godly vision among men;
6. to develop the spiritual nature of all peoples in order that they may experience greater joy in carrying out the will of God wherever and whenever they are called upon to serve;
7. to sustain faith in those who yet must walk by it;
8. to meet the spiritual needs of mankind at all levels of consciousness;
9. to promote peace and understanding in order to accelerate the manifestation of cosmic purpose;
10. to utilize renewed interest in extrasensory perception and matters of the Spirit in order to direct the seeker toward the unfolding of his latent divinity rather than involvement in a search for the phenomenal;
11. to elucidate further to mankind upon the great story of the cosmic Hierarchy;
12. to build mighty pools of reserve energies as reservoirs of spiritual power that can be used by the disciples of the ascended masters in their service to mankind and for the blessing of all life directly from the retreats of the ascended masters;
13. to secure new dispensations from the Karmic Board that will feed these energy pools and embodied individuals connected with the Hierarchy with sufficient power and cosmic know-how to externalize the plan for the year;
14. to encourage all, even the downtrodden, to keep high their faith in the ultimate outpicturing of the glory of God, right while perceiving the absolute necessity to counteract the ignorant manifestations of mankind involved in their excessive materialism, the use of psychedelic drugs, dissonant music and art forms, and vain pleasure-seeking to their own hurt; and
15. to integrate the whole man in accordance with the original divine plan.”
- El Morya, Pearls of Wisdom, vol. 11, no. 1.
Some of these points give clues as to some of the teachings brought forth from the masters that we will be covering in future episodes.
Basically, the Great White Brotherhood stands as a beacon of spiritual wisdom and guidance for all of us, as they embody the timeless principles of love, compassion, and service to all life.
As we navigate the challenges of the modern world, the very presence of the Great White Brotherhood serves as a reminder that we are not alone on our journey—that there are higher forces in God’s heaven at work, guiding us toward a future of greater harmony, peace, and enlightenment. Their presence, though often unseen, continues to inspire and uplift those of us who seek to awaken to the light within.
We can rise above division and illusion and co-create a future rooted in harmony and divine truth. All we have to do is invoke their assistance because they do not interfere with our free will. God has given us dominion over the earth, and as already stated, the masters only enter our affairs when invited to do so.
In essence, the Great White Brotherhood represents the eternal flame of divine wisdom and love, and they are a beacon for all who seek to transcend the limitations of the physical world and embrace the infinite possibilities of the spirit.
