What is an Ascended Master?

Written by Patricia Zimmerman

An Ascended Master is a being who has experienced life on Earth. Not all Ascended Masters are famous; many were ordinary people like you and me. Through harmonizing with the inner blueprint of life, they have become one with God—the sacred fire of the I AM THAT I AM.

Ascended Masters are the graduates cum laude of every culture, every era, and every religion. They were once human, just like us, and through mastery of their emotions, they attained enlightenment.

An Ascended Master is a being who has made their ascension and merged with their Christ Self, becoming one with God. Jesus the Christ and Gautama Buddha are examples of Ascended Masters. They came to Earth to teach us how to live, to show the way, and to demonstrate that ascension is possible when we genuinely work at it.

To ascend means to unite with our Christ Self. To achieve this, we must become God-like, embodying all the God virtues and releasing the negative, self-centered ego. Through this process, we grow into pure, unconditional love—the highest expression of existence—not the conditional love most of us practice today.

We are here to make our ascension, no matter how many lifetimes it may take. This is the primary purpose of every human incarnation: to awaken, to grow, and to reunite with the Divine.

May Creator bless you abundantly on your journey!
