GLOSSARY
Great White Brotherhood
A spiritual order of Western saints and Eastern adepts who have reunited with the Spirit of the living God and who comprise the heavenly hosts. They have transcended the cycles of karma and rebirth and ascended (accelerated) into that higher reality which is the eternal abode of the soul. The Ascended Masters of the Great White Brotherhood, united for the highest purposes of the brotherhood of man under the Fatherhood of God, have risen in every age from every culture and religion to inspire creative achievement in education, the arts and sciences, God-government and the abundant Life through the economies of the nations. The word "white" refers not to race but to the aura (halo) of white light surrounding their forms. The Brotherhood also includes in its ranks certain unascended chelas of the Ascended Masters. Jesus Christ revealed this heavenly order of saints "robed in white" to his servant John in Revelation. See also Cosmic hierarchy.
(Rev. 3:4, 5; 6:9-11; 7:9, 13, 14; 19:14. See Elizabeth Clare Prophet, The Great White Brotherhood in the Culture, History and Religion of America.)
Keepers of the Flame Fraternity.
Founded in 1961 by Saint Germain, an organization of Ascended Masters and their chelas who vow to keep the flame of Life on earth and support the activities of the Great White Brotherhood in the establishment of their Community and Mystery School and in the dissemination of their Teachings. Keepers of the Flame receive graded lessons in cosmic law dictated by the Ascended Masters to their Messengers Mark and Elizabeth Prophet.
A council of the Great White Brotherhood consisting of Ascended Masters and unascended chelas headed up by El Morya, its chief, headquartered in Darjeeling, India, at the Master's etheric retreat. Members include Mother Mary, Kuan Yin, Archangel Michael, the Great Divine Director, Serapis Bey, Kuthumi, Djwal Kul and numerous others whose objective is to train souls for world service in God-government and the economy, through international relations and the establishment of the inner Christ as the foundation for religion, education, and a return to golden-age culture in music and the arts.
A foreordaining will, an edict or fiat, an authoritative decision, declaration, a law, ordinance or religious rule; a command or commandment. v. to decide, to declare, to determine or order; to ordain, to command or enjoin; to invoke the presence of God, his light/energy/consciousness, his power and protection, purity and perfection.
It is written in the Book of Job, "Thou shalt decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways." The decree is the most powerful of all applications to the Godhead. It is the "Command ye me" of Isaiah 45:11, the original command to Light, which, as the "Lux fiat," is the birthright of the sons and daughters of God. It is the authoritative Word of God spoken in man by the name of the I AM Presence and the living Christ to bring about constructive change on earth through the will of God and his consciousness come, on earth as it is in heaven-in manifestation here below as Above. The dynamic decree offered as praise and petition to the LORD God in the science of the spoken Word is the "effectual fervent prayer of the righteous" that availeth much. The dynamic decree is the means whereby the supplicant identifies with the Word of God, even the original fiat of the Creator "Let there be light: and there was light." Through the dynamic decree spoken with joy and love, faith and hope in God's covenants fulfilled, the supplicant receives the engrafting of the Word and experiences the transmutation by the sacred fire of the Holy Spirit, the "trial by fire" whereby all sin, disease, and death are consumed, yet the righteous soul is preserved. The decree is the alchemist's tool and technique for personal and planetary transmutation and self-transcendence. The decree may be short or long and is usually marked by a formal preamble and a closing or acceptance.

One who, through Christ and the putting on of that Mind which was in Christ Jesus, has mastered time and space and in the process gained the mastery of the self in the four lower bodies and the four quadrants of Matter, in the chakras and the balanced threefold flame. An Ascended Master has also transmuted at least 51 percent of his karma, fulfilled his divine plan, and taken the initiations of the Ruby Ray unto the ritual of the ascension-acceleration by the sacred fire into the Presence of the I AM THAT I AM. An Ascended Master is one who inhabits the planes of Spirit, the kingdom of God (God's consciousness), and may teach unascended souls in an etheric retreat or in the etheric cities on the etheric plane (the kingdom of heaven). (Phil. 2:5.)
