The Ishaya's Ascension
VASHTI
High in one of the most secluded valleys of the Himalayas lies one of the greatest wonders of any age: the garden-valley of Vashti,
preserved still from the changing world.
Vashti was founded long before humans first came to our world by the Lord of Etan, Ishtar. After Etan was destroyed by the Asur emperor
Valin, Ishtar led several hundred of his immortal brothers and sisters here to Earth. Plying his architectural skills to the maximum, he converted our entire
planet into a garden, hoping to re-create the glory of Etan on a world wide scale.
Time destroys all ambitions, great and small. Control, even of the most beneficial kind, is eventually resented; by the time the Asur
emperor fell before the armies of the One, the garden had been deserted by all but a handful of Ishtar's closest friends. Vashti is today all that remains
of his exquisite work.
Vashti is in a highly volcanic region of the Himalayas. Because of the many hot springs and boiling lakes in the valley the climate is
forever mild, even tropical in the lower regions. Vashti has been a favorite dwelling place for the enlightened of this world for millions of years: the seven
deathless ministers, to humanity,Virgula, Maitreya, Rodavi, Joab, Atri, Matri, Brihas, have always made their home there when they are on the Earth; Vyasa and
Vasishtha and Govindra Yogindra have lived there for millennia; Babaji consistently chooses Vashti as one of his favorite winter haunts. The ancient ET friends
of the humans, the dragon race known as the Vidyadharai, have known and used Vashti regularly and still visit there from time to
time. The Solar Race also occasionally stop by Earth to experience this last remnant of their brother's supernal work.
Most importantly, Vashti is home to the 108 ascended masters known as the Ishaya's. The Ishaya's are an
ancient order of deathless monks, founded a quarter million years ago when the human race returned to Earth. The primary functions of the Ishaya's is to
hold a series of techniquesm know as Ascension Attitudes, in purity for the human race, keeping them secret whenever required releasing then whenever
appropriate.
ISHA
Two thousand years ago, Isha-ben-Joseph, Jesus the Christ, spent seven years in Vashti, learning of his own ascended status. His intent
was to bring the full knowledge of the ascension teachings back to the world from the Ishayas, but the depths of ignorance in the West made his victory
partial. Realizing the darkness in the heart of the human race was too great for ascension to succeed at the time, he ordered his closest disciple, John, to
return to Vashti and help preserve the ascension teachings until the world would be receptive to them.
The apostle John taught pre-Pauline Christianity (which was identical to Ascension) throughout the Mediterranean world as long as Mary lived. The second great
charge given him by his master was to care for her. After she died, he began making plans to take a few of his closest followers and follow his teacher's
original steps back to Vashti. It took him some time to succeed, the turbulent decay of the Roman Empire kept tripping him up. Just as he was leaving on his
final journey there in A.D. 95, he was captured by the Romans and banished to the small Aegean island of Patmos by the emperor Domitian. The final delay proved
productive of great good: a series of intense visions in a cave on Patmos inspired John to write his Apocalypse.
In A.D. 96 Domitian was murdered by his wife and all political prisoners were freed. John returned to Ephesus in Asia Minor, the same
Ephesus where he had laid Mary to rest some years earlier. He left Revelation with his disciple Prochorus to be published throughout the
Roman world, gathered up a few of his most advanced students and promptly dropped out of recorded history.
It is never an easy journey to Vashti. Even with Christ's detailed instructions, the terrors of the world in those days made a
journey of such magnitude difficult in the extreme. Of the twelve who set out with the apostle John, only three arrived with him in Vashti.
John was welcomed by the Seven and by the other Ishayas as an equal, as a brother; together they charted a plan for the healing of the
Earth.
Like good parents, the Ishayas have saved the best teaching until the last. They have nurtured the human race for countless ages as our consciousness has gradually matured. Today, in the last decade of the second millennium after Isha's life, the consensus among the Ishayas is that the time has come to release complete knowledge of the teaching of the Ascension again to the human race.
THREE ATTEMPTS TO HEAL THE EARTH
This is not the first time this experience has been tried. Isha (Christ) possessed full knowledge of this teaching and originally felt
that the Jewish race would be the ideal tool to preserve it in its purity and bring it out to the world. The intense ignorance of the Roman world betrayed his
intent, transmuting his contribution into a living example of perfect unconditional love. This was not bad; his example has continued to transform the human
race, teaching the primacy of love, but it was not his full desire.
Maharishi Patanjali, himself an Ishaya, knew this teaching fully and described the effects of it clearly in his Yoga Sutras. About 5000 years ago, along with
Patanjali, a large number of Ishayas descended from Vashti to see if the world at the time could handle the full teaching of ascension. The effect then was
rather other than was hoped: the expansion of military power in the warriors outstripped the expansion of consciousness in the priests.
The resultant Mahabharata War effectively ended civilization for the next 5 millenia.
The next previous global experiment in releasing this teaching coincided with what we call today the fall of Atlantis, some 25,000
years ago. Again the human races desire to control and manipulate the world was larger than the desire to surrender completely in innocence.
Thus the attempts to bring this teaching out of seclusion have been increasing in frequency for the past 25,000 years. This is true
because the human race, in spite of many appearances to the contrary, is maturing. The age prophesied by every significant ancient civilization in the history
of the Earth is at hand. We stand on the threshold of immortality and full enlightenment for the entire human race, not just some isolated part. The Ishayas
know this full well; they know also that their teaching of ascension is the shortest and quickest means to bring this transformation about; therefore they have
ordered this teaching into the world.
ONE HUNDRED ENLIGHTENED TEACHERS
One hundred teachers of the Ishayas' ascension whom I have personally trained have learned, based on their own personal experience,
that the four higher states of consciousness described by Patanjali are real. The six month Teacher Training program
(which is primarily devoted to as many hours a day spent ascending) has universally given the experience of the first degree of enlightenment-Perpetual
consciousness-within two and a half months.
This might sound utterly astounding to those who have followed difficult or rigorous meditative practices or who have believed faulty
translations of the texts of enlightenment such as the Yoga Sutras. Nevertheless, this has been the experience of every single course participant in the
teacher-training program.
The simple truth is that it is not difficult to gain enlightenment. It is in fact perfectly easy. Once one has a valid tool for
ascending all that is required is the willingness to give up all the false constructs of the individual ego. Enlightenment is not a far-off superstate reserved
for a few. On the contrary, enlightenment is the birthright of every single human on the Earth. Since this is true, it is not difficult to realize it. In fact
it is difficult not to realize it. It takes a tremendous amount of spiritual energy to hold back the infinite One.
This is what ages us, what sickens us, what makes us sleep so much at night and be so partially awake during the days. Holding back the ascendant One is like
trying to keep a dam from bursting with a single hand. It is impossible. The effort continued long enough, kills.
Evolution on Earth is accelerating at an ever increasing rate. The vibratory rate of our world is changing upward so quickly now that
there is a real danger that large numbers will fail to make this transition. The Ishayas believe that it is our obligation as human
beings to do whatever we can to enable as many as possible to negotiate this global shift in awareness successfully. This should not be considered a burden; it
is a joyous movement upward into the light, every step forward on this path is not only great good fortune for every individual, but a large upsurge in the
life for the world billions.
We have a little time left, a decade or two for most of us, before this transition will be complete. It is time
for all the co-workers for peace, all those who wish to be or are already enlightened, all those who possess goodwill for humanity, all leaders everywhere, to
drop their surface and petty differences and unite with one voice of understanding and praise for the source of all that is. The simple
guiding principle is this: if we are sowing division, preaching destruction, seeking or finding evil in the world (even if we are looking for it with the
intention of removing it!), then we are part of the problem, not the cure.
It might seem possible for a short time longer to oppose the great transformation that is rapidly building in this world. But this is
appearance merely. And even that appearance is going to change. Those who desire to oppose Cosmic Intelligence will soon….very soon….be
no longer found on this Earth. Everyone will either consciously or unconsciously act in perfect harmony with Universal Mind. Those who would oppose the Holy
Spirit will either change, or simply cease to be here. That is our future. And the good news is that anyone's inner realization helps change the destiny of
everyone else.
Some of us have already remembered that we are multidimensional beings. We, living on the Earth are opened to Universal
Mind. The voice of the universe speaks through us. Desire to serve others is the natural byproduct of our enlightenment: our perennial
task is to help everyone discover Universal Mind within. But words are limited, finite tools; our proper subject is the unlimited, the
infinite, a subject that lies forever far beyond the ability of language to describe or communicate. Writing or reading or listening to lectures does not
expand consciousness; this happens only through direct, personal experience. Hence this article is short. But the invitation is long.
Security, peace, happiness, health and love await those who learn the Ishayas' ascension techniques. You
might have already recognized in your heart that this offer is for you. But it might take you some more time or perhaps some further exchange of energy or
knowledge between us, before your conscious mind understands your heart's choice. For those of you sailing in that boat, I have written five books; they
are designed to help your rational mind learn what your heart already knows full well.
Take what you will from those storehouses, drink as deeply as you care from the wellsprings there, and then if we are not to meet again,
go your own way with the blessings of the Ishaya's Ascension upon your heart.
