In 2008, SaLuSa reassured us that “we know the tasks ahead are formidable but where your spiritual knowledge is concerned, the Masters will return to Earth to give you the truth. They will also tell you of what lies ahead, and how the choice is always yours as to which direction you go.” (1)

The return of the Masters has been discussed since at least the 1870s, when “Imperator,” the pseudonym adopted by the prophet Malachi speaking through Rev. Stainton Moses, discussed their coming to Earth.

“Christ has passed into the spheres of Contemplation; (2) but He may personally return when our work is completed. But much must be accomplished before the harvest will come, and the time of sowing and growth will be long.

“Ye know not how great is the work that is being done; how vast the vista that is being opened. Never before has there been such an outpouring of Divine Love as now. Silent influences are at work in men’s minds. All over the world they are being prepared to receive the teaching we are giving you here.

“Should it be necessary for the furtherance of this mission, other great Intelligences will return, and bring their magnetic force to bear upon the earth. At present it is not needed, as the work is progressing.” (3)

The “great intelligences” were not destined to appear on Earth during the time of preparation which Imperator and other spirits were managing, but they are destined to return in this era.

Following Imperator, spirit communicator John Heslop, allegedly a resident of the Christ Sphere, a high spirit plane, hinted at the role the angels will play in birthing the new world in a communication that appeared around 1912.

“Angelic beings assist at the birth and development of these new worlds. They build up the conditions necessary for the ultimate production of life, though this process may take millions of years. At first the lowest forms only are produced. Gradually they rise in capacity till the world is ready for the highest intelligences.

“It was so in your world and the angels are still working, as they have been since its inception. Recently they have begun a further and higher work. As a race you will rise, till in very truth it will become for you a new heaven and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.” (4)

Arthur Ford made a cryptic comment about Masters who had incarnated.

“As you know, several of the people who were associated with Jesus during His life have now reincarnated. They don’t advertise it, but these people are genuine.” (5)

I personally know and have corresponded  with one of “the people who were associated with Jesus during his life” who didn’t advertise it, incarnate at the time Ford made his remark. I’m not at liberty to say who that is, having been sworn to confidentiality. However, I can personally vouch for the truth of Ford’s comment.

I also have corresponded with a celestial of the order of Thrones, a high angelic kingdom, who incarnated among us to report to the Master Kuthumi (6) on what might be improved in future Ascensions. He too does not want to be named. So these indications that Masters are among us are real to me.

Our sources, more recently, have been describing the return of the Masters.

Atmos describes them as “great Beings coming to Earth as teachers of the Truth.” (7) By early 2010, SaLusa was telling us that they “wait in readiness to return to Earth.” He names some of them.

“You might say that the big guns are waiting to appear to you and that is correct, as the truth will sound more acceptable when it comes from those who are familiar to you.

“Jesus and many Angelic Beings such as Archangel Michael will address you and the words will carry a powerful energy, that will leave you in no doubt that they come to you with Love and Light.” (8)

Some are already embodied, he informs us.

“The Masters are returning and some are already incarnate carrying out their work to bring as many souls as possible into the Light. You have your ideas as to who they are, but for the time being they prefer to work unannounced.

“However, once the major changes are completed, some Masters will return as names in their own right. St. Germain who is so closely connected with your evolution has always come and gone as he pleases, and he will certainly make himself known to you. He has presided over a number of important meetings concerning this period, and his influence has been powerful and brought benefits to you.” (9)

In June of 2008, St. Germain revealed that the return of the Masters “is not a unique happening as in the times past you have had civilizations such as on Atlantis and Lemuria who reached periods of great spiritual achievement. They attracted the Higher Beings to themselves and were led by them for eons of time, until the influx of less evolved souls brought about change.”

“You are in a reverse situation having panned the depths of darkness and are now reaching for the Light that will lift you up out of it. For almost the last century more highly evolved souls have entered the dimension Earth, and they have since played their part in bringing even more Light to you. It is all part of the Plan for Man that is now revealing your true selves, and showing you the way home. (10)

SaLuSa has told us that the Masters come at the behest of the White Brotherhood, who are in charge of Ascension: “The White Brotherhood has sent many Masters to spread the truth, and present you with the facts concerning Ascension.” (11)

Where there are “differences of opinion as to how events will finally work out,” Diane of Sirius tells us, they will be “taken care of by Masters and Higher Beings who will eventually walk the Earth with you.” (12)

Earlier this year, SaLuSa said that some of the “Masters of Wisdom … are already with you waiting for their opportunity to reveal who they are and serve the people. You may have already identified with a number of advanced souls, and their role has been to prepare the way.” (13)

So now, if Lois Hartwick is to be believed, the Masters of Wisdom are joining together to address the Gulf spill. They include not only the ascended teachers who’ve begun great religions on Earth, such as Thoth and Jesus, but also celestial beings from orders as high as the Seraphim and Cherubim and spirits responsible for our evolution such as the Elohim.

If this news is true, we have entered another phase of the Ascension process – the arrival of the Great Beings among us. I can only hope that Hartwick is correct.
