The Embodiments of Ascended Master Kuthumi

One of Kuthumi’s embodiments was that of the Greek philosopher and mathematician, Pythagoras, in the Sixth Century B.C.. Pythagoras settled in Crotona, in Southern Italy, around 535 B.C. Here he established the Pythagorean Order, a school for, primarily, young people. At Crotona, Pythagoras made many important discoveries, in various fields, such as mathematics, astronomy, and music. He established the term, in geometry, later called the “Pythagorean Theorem,” determined that the Earth was spherical in shape, that the Real Self was eternal and, together with a new physical body, came back into embodiment. Pythagoras taught these doctrines at his school.

The disciplines at Crotona were very strict. Much time was spent in absolute silence. The students were given slates on which to write, also using the arched eyebrow and the gesture as a response. This way they were forced to listen to the still small voice in their hearts, rather than to the sometimes riotous whirling of the emotional and mental bodies. The mornings and evenings were spent in listening to the music that Pythagoras received from Vista, the Elohim of Music.

Pythagoras taught that, within the heart of each lifestream, is the real teacher and that the four lower bodies can be refined, through good music, to become a purer vessel. Through carefully trained chelas, Pythagoras endeavored to raise the vibratory action of the Earth, allowing these chelas to “step up” their own personal harmony.

The students of Pythagoras became aware that the substances taken into the body as food are most quickly felt by the physical atoms of the brain. Pythagoras taught that to achieve dexterity of the intellect, alertness of body, and illumination of the mind, the diet should be carefully prepared and adhered to.

Unfortunately, these endeavors at Crotona were not completed, because of some base and selfish destructive influences within certain lifestreams, who did not know or understand his motive.

Pythagoras saw his beautiful school at Crotona burned to the ground and within it, all the records of a lifetime—all the exquisite achievement of pupils, including art work the like of which had not been since the days of Atlantis. Marble figures had been dashed from their pedestals and crushed by vandals’ hands. Gardens and exquisite trees were destroyed—until only a rubble remained of a vision into which he had invested a lifetime. And yet, the experiences within that life were such that, they did enable Pythagoras to become master of energy!

His teacher said, “You are now a harmonizing presence, which will never again be disturbed by any external distress nor any internal weakness. You are fit to enter my service and become a member of my court, and one day soon, if you choose, shall wear my cloak upon your shoulders!” Although the tears rolled down Kuthumi’s cheeks, as he saw his dreams destroyed, he was happy to hear that, and it helped him to hold a certain amount of peace, even in that suffering.
