I have personally experienced what a hughe help and support the Ascended Masters can be in our path to wholeness and unconditional love.
On this page I will try to give some information about what the ascended masters are and how they can help us in our journey to mastery and unconditional love. I will also try to give some more information about a few ascended masters that I personally feel closely connected to.
What are ascended masters?
Ascended Masters are enlightened Spiritual Beings who lived on earth, faced the same challenges we face today and reunited with God. Today they serve as the Teachers of mankind from the realms of Spirit. They guide, protect, inspire and heal mankind. They are teachers in the truest sense of the word. They can help us grow in any area of our lives and achieve the real purpose of life: to become One with God in the ascension.
Contrary to some beliefs, they work directly with people to help heal our lives and evolve our consciousness on the Soul level. They come to help us realize more of our own spiritual nature and to help us experience more of Heaven on Earth right here and now. Some familiar examples are Jesus, Mother Mary, Buddha, Krishna and Melchizedek, just to name a few. There is at least one main Ascended Master who works intimately with each Soul.

Archangel Michael
Archangel Michael is the herald of the new consciousness, he is calling you to wake up, to dare to become who you really are, and to stand in your truth. The sword he carries is the Sword of Truth. He wields the Truth of the Christ Consciousness – all Ascended Masters and all those of the angelic realm work under the Christ consciousness*.
Always, in the background of your life, is Archangel Michael, a mighty loving being. He has come much closer to us in recent years to help us to remember who we really are. He does this primarily by making us aware of who we are not. What is it that we need to let go of that is not truly our real self? There are layers and layers of learned behaviour in us, which we have taken on in this and other lifetimes, that we no longer need, and maybe never needed; that which is not truly our soul, weighs down on our soul. For instance, we cannot learn joy if we are bombarded with fear, insecurity and by dark forces. If we could really remember who we are in essence then this would bring us to our Joy.
Our Beloved Michael releases us, and takes us back to our essence. He uses the Sword of Truth to do this. Michael creates a safe place here on earth and within the cosmos for you, so that you are free to do your work, to learn and to experience.
Because Archangel Michael is breaking down the old consciousness, you can ask him to cut you free from any unwanted bonds; bonds with other people, or with groups, or nations - whether these are from your recent life or past lives. Only ask for this if you are sure that the person or situation no longer serves your highest good, for the cutting he effects is complete and permanent.
Archangel Michael holds the balance between the negative spiritual forces of Lucifer and Arhiman – as it states in the Book of Revelation, Michael is ‘warring against’ these forces. (Revelations, Chapter 12 v7).
Archangel Michael is your friend and protector, call on him often, daily if desired – he is waiting for your call. Call on him for protection, for peace, for freedom. He is with you always.
*Christ Consciousness is not directly related to, or limited by, Christianity; it is a Universal consciousness of pure love, a divine principle not confined to any particular creed or tradition.

Lord Sananda (Jesus)
Sananda is the risen name (spiritual identity) of the physical human known as Jesus of Nazareth. .The spiritual mentor who ensures that, ultimately, our evolutionary path and spiritual growth is sustained in accordance with our souls' highest spiritual aims. To do so, his energy is in contact with each of us at all times, guiding us from the higher realms to embrace self loving choices and actions in our daily lives and improve our understanding and practice of Unconditional Love. This beloved master has showed humanity that death can be overcome and that love, forgiveness and compassion are our true nature. "What I have done you can do and more". Like all great masters Jesus did not come to be worshipped, he came to teach humanity how to become Christ like.
Lord Sananda is powerfully at work with those we call ‘light-workers’ here on earth. It is through Lord Sananda’s energy that you learn about and are able to anchor the Living Light of the Divine within yourselves and on the planet; that is, through him, you learn to become this light, and to radiate this light from yourself. In doing this, you bring in ever more higher energies, divine love.
Lord Sananda is an amazing being, who is so pure that he was able to allow the immensity of the Christ force, the Christ Consciousness, the Divine, to work fully through him. His energy is so loving and so forgiving that he gives even the most lost of souls, again and again and again, the opportunity to evolve; his energy is enduring and constant.
He is with you, and he loves you.

Quan Yin
Quan Yin is a Bodhisattva (a Being of Enlightenment), the Goddess of Compassion and Mercy, and one of the Lords of Karma. She is currently Chohan of the 8th Ray, which is the ray of cleansing, and a member of the karmic board. She is also a powerful Master of healing. Currently she heads the Temple of Mercy in China. She is the Divine aspect of Buddhism equivalent to the roles of Mother Mary, Isis and Shakti in other world belief systems. Her full name (Quan Shih Yin) means "She who listens to the cries of the World", and she embodies the qualities of compassionate and loving kindness. She has vowed to remain in the earthly realms until all other living souls have completed their own enlightenment. Accordingly she has been given the dispensation of Mercy and compassion for all of humanity and beings on Earth, and works with the Mercy flame. The laws of Karma demand swift repayment for each karmic Law we violate, but the gift of mercy sets the burden aside for us until the wisdom and ability to deal with it is attained.
She comes to work with us with the qualities of compassion, forgiveness and love. She aims to heal the heart chakra and the emotional body of its wounds, restoring self-confidence and helping to remove emotional blocks which may prevent us from moving forwards in life. Many of us have been hurt or affected in some way by things that have happened in our upbringing (and even in past lives). These may leave us feeling unloved, unsure of who we are or even as "victims". We need to remove these feelings which are not a part of our true selves, and see ourselves in our true lights as who we really are. Then we see that we are lovable and loved, and this in turn enables us to be loving and forgiving towards others. Forgiveness and mercy works both ways - if we expect it, then we have to give it to others. Quan Yin can also help us release our hurts and truly forgive those who may have hurt us. To hold on to wrongdoings against us harms us more than the wrongdoer, and we need to forgive and forget if we want to be truly at peace with ourselves. If we can recall the memory of a misdeed, then we have not truly forgiven. Quan Yin also encourages us to "go with the flow". This means creating a balance between the extremes of being in total control of every aspect of our lives, to a life having no structure or purpose at all. When we are relaxed, confident and sure of ourselves and can trust (and it is trust that is so often damaged in our emotional lives) that what is Right will Be, then life is much more straightforward, and our own life plan or path will fall more easily into place.

St. Germaine
The Ascended Master Saint Germain teaches that the highest alchemy is the transformation of one’s human consciousness into the divinity of the Higher Self. He stands ready to assist all souls in this endeavour.
Past incarnations have included Joseph (the husband of Mary), Merlin (magician to King Arthur), the prophet Samuel, Columbus, Christian Rosenkreutz, founder of the Rosy Cross (of which sprung the Rosicrucians) and Francis Bacon. Francis Bacon was believed to be the illegitimate son of Queen Elizabeth the 1st, and should by rights have been made the next King of England, had she not denied him. He is also believed by many to be the true writer of the works attributed to William Shakespeare.
St. Germain also lived in Atlantis, where he was a High Priest in the Temple of Healing. It was here that he was thought to have created a healing system which was the origin of the system we know as Reiki. In 1996 he gave Shamballa Multi Dimensional Healing to humanity in a channeling through John Armitage a.k.a. Dr. Hari Baba.
St.Germain has appeared on Earth many times, in many guises and roles, often appearing ageless and with new ideas and inventions. In these later roles he was manifesting physically on Earth, having already achieved his ascension.
St.Germain remains the keeper of the Violet Flame of Transmutation, which works with violet Light. His current role is to bring enlightenment in order to help Earth progress to the next evolutionary level, and also to bring about the manifestation of the Higher Rays onto Earth. This includes the planning for and guidance of those currently incarnated who are working with these rays as ascended beings who have chosen to live here in physical bodies.

Ashtar
Ashtar works very closely with Archangel Michael, in protecting the evolution of humanity through harmonizing the negative and evil influences that could overwhelm us. Ashtar is in command of a particular area of the cosmos which he and his many spiritual helpers ‘patrol', this area or zone includes planet earth; because of this he is often referred to as “Commander Ashtar.”
Ashtar works through the Merkabah , the spiritual vehicle of Light that comes direct from the Godhead. At the moment Ashtar is Controller of the Merkabah, for our part of the Universe. He moves between heavens, dimensions, and realities with his powerful mind guiding and controlling the energies of the Merkabah so that we humans can participate in the evolutionary process of our zone.
