In the beginning stage the master’s attention is drawn to the up-and-coming disciple who has begun to build his connection (antakarana) to his soul. The master then contacts the aspirant through a more advanced student on the physical plane.The second stage of discipleship is when a higher disciple guides the aspirant from the soul plane, which is different from the first stage when the aspirant was guided by a disciple on the physical plane. During this stage the disciple is concerned with overcoming glamour and controlling his emotions. The advanced disciple is subject to glamour but at the same time is aware of its illusionary nature, and the aspirant becomes aware of glamour as something that one must free oneself and the world from.
The aspirants of this stage are the future world servers, and are of real importance to the great work that needs to be done. The “young” disciple is then taught about the members of the spiritual hierarchy, so he will know who to turn to and learn from and who he can be of service to. At this stage the “young” disciple is working off his own karma as intelligently as possible and begins to comprehend something about planetary karma.
Initiated disciples who are above accepted disciples have mainly one goal, which is to manifest the divine plan on the earth plane. Accepted disciples are in the process of learning this and to overcome personality reactions. In this stage the master finally contacts the disciple, whereas the disciple should make an effort to be “impersonal” (stepping out of one’s personality) with him, as well as fellow disciples and people in general. Impersonality is seen as the first step towards achievement of spiritual love and understanding.
At this point the master also awaits an effort from the disciple to work on a larger and more generous scale for the entire world. The disciple can choose what type of work, but hopefully it is in line with the master’s intentions and visions. The master’s teachings are about detachment from the material world to prepare for great expansion in consciousness. The master has assumed responsibility for preparing the disciple in his care for initiation, and he observes the disciple’s vibration and indicates where he needs to change his attitude and expression. If the disciple becomes ego sensitive from the feedback, then it is a sign that the disciple is still steeped in personality reactions, which must be overcome.
The next stage is when the disciple has shown wisdom in his work and appreciation of his master’s responsibilities, and the disciple is taught how to attract the master’s attention in emergency situations. This allows the disciple to draw on the master’s strength, knowledge and advice.
The disciple has succeeded in decentralizing himself, no longer making himself the center of focus in his life, but making the service to humanity his main goal in life. At this stage the disciple has developed the ability to be impersonal no matter how his ego may be reacting, meaning that his own feelings, thoughts, likes, dislikes and desires are no longer controlling him. The disciple’s priority is for the good of the group. At this stage the disciple’s aura is becoming more and more like the master’s aura, and his consciousness continues to be trained, intensified and purified. The vibrations and auras of the disciple and master have begun to synchronize. When the initiate disciple has learned to intensify and hold his vibration, that it is identical with that of the master, then he himself has become a master. This allows the master to move on to his cosmic level of evolution.
The path of the disciple is a difficult one, as it is filled with obstacles at every step. By staying on the spiritual path and overcoming these obstacles, one realizes mastership and is a server of humanity. There is a stage on this path where the disciple may feel loneliness. This is a temporary phase. The main work of the disciple is to control the lower self and eliminate material desire, to achieve evenminded peace and joy at all times. The disciple achieves a point in consciousness where nothing can rock this inner calm because his consciousness is centred in the soul. The disciple has great patience, perseverance and endurance.
The qualities that the disciple has to overcome include selfishness, self-centeredness, material desire, personal ambition, pride, lack of integrity, separativeness, criticism, irritation, fanaticism, being too laid back, violence, suspicion and over-sensitiveness.
The qualities the disciple needs to develop are love, goodwill, forgiveness, sacrifice, responsibility, discrimination, free will, humility, simplicity, detachment, impersonality, acceptance, serenity, selflessness, courage, perseverance, sharing, giving, harmlessness, balance, stability, sense of humour, solitude, devotion, joy, esoteric sense, higher psychic development and sensitivity, ability to be silent, divine indifference and sincerity.
The three qualities needed to achieve individual and group purpose are power, detachment and non-criticalness. The disciple also learns that there is only oneness and that there is no death, distress or separation. He also comes to realize that life is just the veil that hides the splendour of divinity.
The masters are searching for aspirants and disciples who have a clear vision, uncompromising faithfulness to truth and an everlasting drive to manifest this ideal. Most of the masters are looking for an enlarged channel from the soul to the mind of the disciple, for the disciple to be utilized for the great work of redemption of mankind. The master is looking for the perfection of the antakarana (rainbow bridge).
The path of discipleship is one of synthesis, hard work, intellectual unfoldment, steady aspiration, harmlessness, spiritual orientation and the gradual opening of the third eye.
The forgetfulness of self leads to letting go of all moodiness, personality desires, resentment, grief and pettiness. This leads to a life that is totally focused on active service for humanity. It is through these people on earth that the masters pour their love, light and guidance.

What steps could one take to begin to build the antakarana, so that the master's attention is drawn? Is wanting or needing to grow spiritually enough?
Also, what is meant by "glamour"? Does this mean attachments to material things and unnecessary human behavior?
One more question, if I may.... Are these masters on this physical plane, or are they hidden on the astral plane?
Thank you for your time, and thank you for posting this information.
Hey there Sophia,
unfortunately I believe that wanting to grow is simply not enough. But it's a good start! You need to have the will and the perseverance to work on your path to ascension. Building the connection (antakarana) to your soul is often done through meditation. Make sure to set intentions before you meditate, asking your guides (angels, etc) to help you connect with your soul. Then see on which journey it will take you during the meditation.
Glamour means attachments to material things, ego etc. One has to free himself from those things and realise that he is not his ego, mind or body etc.
The ascended masters such as Jesus, Mother Mary, Kuan Yin, Serapis Bey, etc are on higher planes. You can connect with them through meditation or during your dreams. Great thing to do is to ask for guidance and teaching during your sleep before you go to bed. Remember to set intentions. But be open to what they want to teach and to what is best for you to learn at this particular time.
Those are teachers on the non physical plane, but there are also teachers on the physical plane, who are like a bridge between earth and the higher planes. They should teach you how to step into your own power, and they should teach you tools how to reconnect with the oneness.
In my "Initiation" blog I wrote that the ascended masters connect with the disciple..... When I have time I should tell you about my personal story and how I connected with the ascended masters. A great way to start is to learn about them and read up on different masters and learn what they do and become familiar with their energy. The more famous ones are Jesus, Buddha, etc.
Blessings,
Vivienne
