If we are to ascend, we must put on our Christhood daily. It is not a once-and-done proposition. Instead, our emerging Christhood is a gradual process that advances by increments as we make good use of our free will and the opportunities we are given to balance our karma. Then, as our Christhood grows, we achieve greater and greater authority and dominion over every outer condition. Therefore, it is imperative that all sincere seekers and students of the ascended masters be continuously alert for opportunities to serve and to demonstrate mastery in daily affairs. Also, Christhood does not occur in a vacuum. It develops amidst the hustle and bustle of life. So, there will be ‘noise.’ There will be distractions, opposition, tests and trials. This is all part of the path to becoming the Christ. Thankfully we have the example of the ascended masters to guide us. They have demonstrated their mastery of Cosmic Law, and they are uniquely qualified to show us the Way to Christhood.
