As Pharaoh Thutmose III (c. 1567 <small>B.C</small>.), greatest of pharaohs, prophet and high priest, patron of the arts, he is considered the architect of the Egyptian empire. He expanded the Egyptian kingdom to include most of the Middle East. His most decisive victory was on the battlefield near Mt. Carmel. There he led the entire army single file through narrow Megiddo Pass to surprise and defeat an alliance of 330 rebellious Asian princes—a daring maneuver protested by the pharaoh’s terrified officers. Thutmose alone was assured of his plan and rode ahead holding aloft the image of Amon-Ra, the Sun God who had promised him the victory. | As Pharaoh Thutmose III (c. 1567 <small>B</small>.<small>C</small>.), greatest of pharaohs, prophet and high priest, patron of the arts, he is considered the architect of the Egyptian empire.

In the sixth century <small>B.C</small>., he was the Greek philosopher Pythagoras, the “fair-haired Samian” who was regarded as the son of Apollo. As a youth, Pythagoras conferred freely with priests and scholars, eagerly seeking scientific proof of the inner law revealed to him in meditation upon Demeter, the Mother of the Earth. His quest for the great synthesis of truth led him to Palestine, Arabia, India, and finally to the temples of Egypt, where he won the confidence of the priests of Memphis and was gradually accepted into the mysteries of Isis at Thebes. | In the sixth century <small>B</small>.<small>C</small>., he was the Greek philosopher Pythagoras, the “fair-haired Samian” who was regarded as the son of Apollo.

When Asian conqueror Cambyses launched a savage invasion of Egypt about 529 <small>B.C</small>., Pythagoras was exiled to Babylon, where the prophet Daniel still served as king’s minister. Here rabbis revealed to him the inner teachings of the I AM THAT I AM given to Moses. Zoroastrian magi tutored him in music, astronomy and the sacred science of invocation. After twelve years, Pythagoras left Babylon and founded a brotherhood of initiates at Crotona, a busy Dorian seaport in southern Italy. His “city of the elect” was a [[mystery school]] of the Great White Brotherhood. | When Asian conqueror Cambyses launched a savage invasion of Egypt about 529 <small>B</small>.<small>C</small>., Pythagoras was exiled to Babylon, where the prophet Daniel still served as king’s minister.

At Crotona, carefully selected men and women pursued a philosophy based upon the mathematical expression of universal law, illustrated in music and in the rhythm and harmony of a highly disciplined way of life. After a five-year probation of strict silence, Pythagorean “mathematicians” progressed through a series of initiations, developing the intuitive faculties of the heart whereby the son or daughter of God may become, as Pythagoras’ ''Golden Verses'' state, “a deathless God divine, mortal no more.” | At Crotona, carefully selected men and women pursued a philosophy based upon the mathematical expression of universal law, illustrated in music and in the rhythm and harmony of a highly disciplined way of life.

The master can better help us if we give his mantra, “I AM Light.” This mantra is for the development of a tremendous momentum of white light and the wisdom of God. It is to bring us to the realization that God can and does dwell within us. When we draw nigh to him, he draws nigh to us, and the angelic hosts also gather for the strengthening of the aura. In his book ''Studies of the Human Aura'', Kuthumi speaks of a threefold exercise using the “I AM Light” mantra that students can give for the purpose of strengthening the sheath of the aura so that they can maintain the consciousness of Christ, of God, of Buddha, of Mother. | The master can better help us if we give his mantra, “I AM Light.” This mantra is for the development of a tremendous momentum of white light and the wisdom of God.

Kuthumi gives an important key to the spiritual path in his teaching that “the most important part of any experience you have is not what is flung your way but ''your reaction to it''. Your reaction is the determination of your place on the ladder of attainment. Your reaction enables us to act or not to act. Your reaction to anything or everything shows us the fruit that has ripened in you from all of our prior teaching and loving and support as well as discipline.... | Kuthumi gives an important key to the spiritual path in his teaching that “the most important part of any experience you have is not what is flung your way but ''your reaction to it''.
