One Ascended Master holds the office of representative of the Holy Spirit for the earth. He is known as the Maha Chohan. Maha means "great" in Sanskrit. Chohan means "Lord" in Tibetan. The Maha Chohan is the personification of the Third Person of the Trinity--of Father, Son, Holy Spirit and the Divine Mother.

      The Maha Chohan is the representative and the incarnation of the Holy Spirit. This does not mean that he is the Holy Spirit, but that he of all Ascended Masters most ably represents the Holy Spirit as we enter the age of Aquarius.

      He embodies the aspect of the Holy Spirit that God desires the earth to have at this time. He had put himself through great disciplines to be able to meet the needs of the people of the Holy Spirit at this turning point of the age. He most perfectly embodies the Holy Spirit, as Jesus most perfectly embodies the Christ-flame and the person of the Son of God, just as Gautama most perfectly embodies the seed of Buddha and just as Krishna most perfectly embodies the Atman, or divine spark, that gives the potential of eternal life.

      One reason God chose the Maha Chohan as representative of the Holy Spirit is all the Ascended Masters felt they were best represented through him. Now, think of that. Think of being chosen to this office. Think how remarkable is this being whom we know and love as the Maha Chohan, that through the sacred fire of the Holy Ghost he could personify each precious flame of the numberless numbers of saints in heaven who gather at the throne of the Lamb. Thus, through him we have access to each one's individual spiritual attainment of the Holy Spirit. You can think of the cosmic computer of the Mind of God. If we need to enhance a certain quality of our being, we go to the Maha Chohan and he will release that quality to us as we are able.

      The Maha Chohan is not the only Ascended Master who has the Holy Spirit, but he is the one whom our Father-Mother God has anointed to represent the Holy Spirit at this period of earth's history. So you can see there is a general presence, a general personification or an impersonal personification of the Holy Spirit throughout the earth. Yet the focal point of its release and its disciplines come through this Ascended Master.

      To qualify for the office of representative of the Holy Spirit, the Maha Chohan became an adept on each of the seven rays 1 and accrued to his Causal Body greater attainment than we can even know.

     The Holy Spirit acts like a prism that refracts the white light of the Universal Christ into the seven color rays. Each of the seven rays activates the Light of God on a specific color and frequency. Each ray can also manifest as a flame of the same color and vibration. The application of the flame results in a specific action of the Holy Spirit.

      Each of the seven rays is ensouled by an Ascended Master who teaches the way of self-mastery on that particular ray 2 and who embodies, outpictures and sets the example of the action of the Holy Spirit of that ray. The Masters who ensoul these rays are the Seven Lords, or Chohans. The Maha Chohan is the Great Lord and presides over them and is their teacher. The Seven Chohans in the order of the rays, as you know, are El Morya, Lord Lanto, Paul the Venetian, Serapis Bey, Hilarion, Lady Master Nada and Saint Germain. You can read about them in the Lords of the Seven Rays.
