The Path of the Eastern Adept

Discover the Science of the Spirit with El Morya and Kuthumi

March 21-23, 2025
Teaching Center Holland, Amersfoort

Explore why the ascended masters urge their students to pursue adeptship—and receive valuable tools and techniques for how to attain that goal!

In 1875, a group of mysterious beings, secluded in the hidden recesses of the Himalayas, began an experiment of momentous impact: to lift a tip of the veil on their vast esoteric philosophy and reveal their existence to the West. They became known as the Adepts, the Mahatmas, or simply the Brothers—and they started a revolution in advanced spirituality that reverberates around the world to this day.

Their best-known spokesmen were Koot Hoomi and El Morya Khan—now known as the ascended masters Kuthumi and El Morya. From their lives in the late 1800s we glean tremendous insights about adeptship. What was being an eastern adept all about? What did they teach? What was their system of testing and training their students? And what was their goal? In this seminar we’ll explore answers to these questions.

But the story of the eastern adepts does not stop there. As ascended beings they urge us to follow in their footsteps and become adepts ourselves—because the world needs it. So what does it take, and where do we start? Attend this seminar and find out!

We are ready to transfer to you blessings and initiations and an impetus for greater life within your temple. I ask you, then, to study all that you know about what the adepts have taught, to do some form of yoga, some form of meditation and to do so with the idea of entering in to new octaves of consciousness.

—Saint Germain, October 11, 1993

What are we going to study?

  • The guru-chela relationship seen through the eyes of the Eastern adepts, with a focus on probation, testing and the deep love between the guru and the chela

Dictations:

Messages from the ascended masters

As the highlight of the day, each day we will receive an appropriate message from the ascended masters. We will watch and listen to replays of dictations from Saint Germain, Mother Mary and Lord Maitreya. A dictation is one of the profound experiences during this seminar, where the masters work with us on many different levels of our consciousness.

Advanced level of study

The advanced level of study means that in order to fully benefit from this seminar, the student needs an advanced understanding of the teachings of the ascended masters and the spiritual path. Newer students are therefore offered an “Essentials of the Teachings” program during the seminar, with basic teachings and the opportunity to ask questions about the seminar material.
