The Ascended Master Serapis Bey is the Lord (Chohan) of the Fourth Ray and Hierarch of the Ascension Temple at Luxor, Egypt. Known as the great disciplinarian, he reviews and trains candidates for the ascension. In the nineteenth century, Serapis Bey worked closely with El Morya, Kuthumi, Djwal Kul and other Masters to found the Theosophical Society. The musical keynote of Serapis Bey is "Celeste Aïda" by Verdi and the keynote of his etheric retreat is "Liebestraum" by Liszt. Serapis was embodied as a high priest in the ascension temple on Atlantis more than 11,500 years ago. He was the Egyptian pharaoh Amenhotep III, c. 1417-1379 b.c., called "the Magnificent." He brought Egypt to its height of diplomatic prestige, prosperity and peace. His extensive building of monuments, palaces and temples included construction of the temple of Luxor, which was built to correspond to the outline of the human skeletal framework. Careful studies of its architecture have revealed that the entire temple explains many secret functions of the organs and nerve centers. Serapis was also embodied as Leonidas, king of Sparta. In about 480 b.c., with only three hundred soldiers, he resisted the advance of Xerxes' vast Persian army in a herculean effort at Thermopylae. Though finally defeated, their fight to the last man is celebrated in literature as the epitome of heroism in the face of overwhelming odds. Serapis Bey ascended in about 400 b.c. In 1967, the Ascended Master Serapis Bey dictated the book Dossier on the Ascension: The Story of the Soul's Acceleration into Higher Consciousness on the Path of Initiation, which was recorded by the Messenger Mark L. Prophet. In this book, Serapis offers profound answers to the questions of life after death. He outlines step by step how to follow the adepts of East and West, including Jesus Christ, who have been candidates at the mystery school of Luxor, Egypt, submitting to the initiations of the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid. Serapis teaches how to live life to its fullest in the here and now and how to consciously ascend (accelerate) into that higher reality which is the eternal abode of the soul. |
