Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a Holy Order?
Holy Orders have existed throughout the ages in communities of the Holy Spirit and in churches of East and West to keep the flame of life upon earth.

Devotees express their devotion through focused prayer and service to mankind.

It is a church where Eastern and Western spirituality converge. The mystical paths of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Taoism and Confucianism are infused with new revelations from the ascended masters.

- Who are the ascended masters?
The Ascended Masters are enlightened spiritual beings who once lived on earth, fulfilled their reason for being and have ascended and reunited with God in the ritual of the ascension. They are referred to in the Book of Revelation as the saints robed in white who come as a "great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues." The ascended masters are true teachers of mankind. They direct the spiritual evolution of all devotees of God and guide them back to their Source.
- How can a Holy Order hold the balance for a planet?
When members of a Holy Order determine by their freewill to invoke God's Light and focus their prayers, decrees and meditations on a particular planetary situation, this allows God's angels and his emissaries, the ascended masters, to enter into the situation and bring the divine solution. By co-creating with the heavenly hosts we help hold the balance on Earth.
