Lord Lanto

Lord Lanto is the Chohan of the Second Ray, the golden ray of wisdom. He is the gentlest of teachers, and the most patient. Where El Morya instructs in a sentence, Lanto will wait a year for a student to arrive at an understanding by their own road, and count the year well spent.

It is said of Lanto that his devotion was so complete that, before his ascension, the golden light of his heart could be seen shining through his chest.

Legend and Embodiments

The teachings remember Lanto as a sage of ancient China, a ruler and a teacher of rulers in an age long before recorded history. He is said to have studied under the great Lord Himalaya and to have chosen, after his ascension, to remain with the Earth and teach until humanity as a whole had awakened. For many centuries he presided over the Royal Teton Retreat, where the Masters gather in council twice each year.

Service to the Ascension

Information has never been easier to find, and wisdom has never been more needed. Lanto's service is to turn the one into the other. He teaches that knowledge becomes wisdom only when it passes through the heart and is lived.

He has a special care for the young, for students and teachers, and for anyone who has lost their love of learning. Under his ray the mind becomes quiet, receptive and luminous, a fit instrument for the Higher Self.

What Lord Lanto Teaches

• Wisdom is love that has learned to see clearly.
• Do not hurry understanding. Fruit that is pulled from the branch does not ripen.
• Treat every being as a teacher and every task as a lesson, and nothing in your life will be wasted.
• The golden flame in your heart is the same flame that lights the sun.

When to Call on Lord Lanto

• Study, teaching and the guidance of young people
• Patience with yourself and with your progress
• Turning hard experience into understanding
• Quieting an overactive mind
• Reverence, and the recovery of wonder

How to Work With Lord Lanto

Before reading or study, pause and see a golden flame in the center of the chest. Ask Lord Lanto to illumine what you are about to learn and to show you how it applies to your life. When you finish, sit for one minute in silence and let the flame take in what the mind has gathered.

An Invocation

Beloved Lord Lanto, Master of the golden ray,
kindle the flame of wisdom in my heart.
Teach me patience and reverence.
Let what I learn become what I live,
and let my light be of use to others.

A Word From Lord Lanto

You are impatient with yourself because you can see where you are going and you are not yet there. But consider the tree. It does not reproach itself in winter.

Everything you have lived is being turned to light in you, slowly, the way sunlight becomes fruit. Allow it its season.
