In this post, I discuss the history of the term, Ascended Master, plus go over a how-to for calling in your Ascended Masters at the end.

The Ascended Masters were first identified as the Masters of Ancient Wisdom by the writings of Theosophist Helena Blavatsky during the mid-1870s.

A similar term, Masters of the Far East, was used to describe the same set of beings was seen again in 1924 by a man named Baird T. Spalding in his books, Life, and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East.

Then, Guy Ballard, in 1934, published Unveiled Mysteries, and in it, shortened the term to Ascended Master. 

Ever since, the term has remained in the common lexicon to refer to a particular grouping of spirits.

What are Ascended Masters?

The Ascended Masters are a grouping of spirits that were once living, though considered slightly more ascended than regular deceased Spirits.

What they all have in common is they are all thought to have ascended during their lifetime.

This ascension is to a place called enlightenment or bliss. 

They were all able to reach a place of sublime nature transcending them beyond physical experiences. 

They are often considered more than just deceased and even more ascended than your typical every day Spirit Guides.

Ascended Masters stem from all faiths.

Jesus, Mother Mary, Buddha, Osiris, and others of like status are all considered Ascended Masters. 

They often appear with very bright auras, like Angels, and in ornate clothing. 

To become an Ascended Master, one must have embodied Divine-Like qualities while living, such as the attainment and ability to transmit peace and bliss in turmoil life situations.  

The living who achieve this are often posthumously considered Ascended Beings depending on their contribution here on Earth. 

Are Ascended Masters okay to invoke?

Not only are they okay to invoke, they often appear involuntarily to people who need and embody the qualities they already possess.

While not generally considered not the first Spirit you'd initiate contact with, they are known to appear to people during spiritual awakenings, and those who have entered their own states of alignment. 

As long as you have practice with discernment, they are indeed pleasant to invoke and can often act very similar to the role of a Spirit Guide for those they favor and have noticed. 

Many Ascended Masters will usually visit their chosen invoked first, not the other way around. 

Usually, they appear in dreams first, but they can appear in Oracle Cards, or in messages through others.

Have an ascended being that others keep mentioning to you? That keeps appearing in your searches?

Ascended Masters will visit you first, typically through synchronicity, to let you know they'd like to work with you, even if you didn't intentionally call them forward.

So if a master has visited you first, this is fine and also expected.

Ascended Masters are all reflections and manifestations of God, so anything you connect with in Spirit is an aspect of God or Source. 

So to me, they are safe.

Invoking the masters, or having them invoke you, is completely fine and fun.

Pay attention to who is coming to you in your mind's eye naturally, to call one in, or follow the steps below to connect with the one who calls you.

#1

Think of a prophet, saint, guru, ascended now-passed human, or individual who represents or embodies the energies of God to you.

#2

Ask for them to be with you and imagine a swirl of their energy coming in.

#3

Look in your mind's eye and notice what energy or symbolism they appear to you with. This is the energy coming forward to join you now.

They will often appear as a color, and you can use this color frequency for healing.

#4

Ask if there is anything you can do to call their energy down and see what words come to you. Take one step in the direction of this guidance. 

#5

Try this once each day for a couple of days to harmonize your energy with their beautiful spiritual energy.

So to recap, to call in an ascended master

  • Choose one you like

  • Imagine their energy around you

  • Look in your mind’s eye for symbolism for their message

  • Take one step lined-up with their guidance

  • Try this each day to harmonize your energy with theirs and build the relationship

Ascended Masters are heightened Spirit Guides that are very close to Angels. They can come from past lives or even from certain religious and spiritual traditions or cultures.

They can feel more accessible than Angels and will often start appearing to those who teach, guide, or assist others.
