A blessing from Sirius
Among the many extraordinary spiritual experiences I’ve had in the presence of Benjamin Creme, one stands out—not because it was the most powerful (there were others just as profound), but because it introduced a completely different resonance. It was the only moment that felt unmistakably extraterrestrial in essence, even if deeply spiritual at its core.
It happened during a private retreat near San Francisco, on the far side over the bridge, near the ocean, far from the public gaze. Benjamin had invited a small group of us to receive the blessings of several Masters of Wisdom—men who had once walked the Earth and, after completing their fifth initiation, are fully realized Masters.
These are not Masters in the sense that we owe them obedience, they are in the sense that they have mastered themselves, in the last words of The Most Holy Trinosophia of the Comte de St. Germain : "... and the elements knew that I was their Master."
The technique used to receive their blessing was quite simple and inspired by Benjamin Creme's personal life as a painter, we were to receive blessings from Masters, painters, who completed their reincarnation, and were still living on earth, for many paths are offered to them after the fifth initiation.
You can try it yourself, just look at a Rembrandt or an El Greco and you'll be able to connect with them.
The exercise was simple but profound : we were to receive, one at a time, the energy and blessing of each Master, learning to distinguish their unique spiritual signatures. The atmosphere was luminous—filled with a Presence so delicate and yet so immense it made speech feel irrelevant.
Then something unexpected happened. Benjamin paused, his inner attention clearly diverted. He told us that a Being far beyond the Earth had just turned Their gaze toward our little group. It was the Master who had once been known as John the Baptist—now residing in the Sirius system.
Benjamin had previously explained that Sirius is not simply a star in the sky—it is a system reserved for those who have completed the entire human journey, beings who no longer needs to reincarnate. In other words, the least evolved person living in the double star system of Sirius had received the fifth initiation.
To receive a blessing from such a Master was unprecedented. It would be, he said, too potent for us to receive directly. But the Masters were discussing how to make it possible. The solution was found when one of the Earth-based Masters said that he would voluntarily act as a kind of spiritual resistor or intermediary—much like a transformer in an electrical circuit—making it possible for us to safely receive the energy from Sirius.
When the moment came, it was like nothing I had ever experienced. The blessing descended not as light or vibration alone, but as a living current—electric, ancient, immense. It carried with it a kind of sacred otherness that clearly did not originate from this solar system. I do not know how many of us in that room fully grasped what had occurred, but for me, it confirmed with crystal clarity that the Hierarchy of Masters is not limited to Earth. It is cosmic, interstellar, and profoundly coordinated.
And yet, there was nothing “alien” about it in the science-fiction sense. There was only familiarity—recognition—love. A communion from one world to another.
