Jesus' incarnation as Apollonius of Tyana is accepted by the followers of traditional Theosophy, of Alice A. Bailey, and of Benjamin Creme, but not by those who are adherent to the ''Ascended Master Teachings'', who believe that the incarnation as Jesus was his last embodiment on Earth.

 

[[C.W. Leadbeater]] stated that the Master Jesus, after his resurrection in the body of Apollonius of Tyana, incarnated in India as the [[Tamil people|Tamil]] religious reformer [[Ramanuja]], a leading figure within the [[Bhakti movement]] in [[Hinduism]]; thus, by incarnating as Ramanuja, Jesus became an [[Avatar]]. According to Leadbeater, the Master Jesus incarnated as Ramanuja as part of his spiritual work as Master of the Sixth Ray of Love-Devotion (''bhakti'' is the [[Sanskrit]] word for ''devotion'').<ref>Leadbeater, C.W. ''The Masters and the Path'' Adyar, Madras, India:1925 Theosophical Publishing House Page 239</ref>

 

That Jesus incarnated as Ramanuja is believed by many traditional Theosophists, but not by those adherent to the Ascended Master Teachings.

 

According to [[Benjamin Creme]], the Master Jesus visited the [[Americas]] (as well as [[Polynesia]]) not immediately after his resurrection as recounted in the [[Book of Mormon]], but in the late 7th century and early 8th century, after having descended to the continent of America from his dwelling place in Shamballah with Sanat Kumara.<ref>Creme, Benjamin ''Maitreya's Mission--Volume III'' Amsterdam:1997 Share International Foundation Page 378</ref> Like the [[Mormons]], Creme believes that this visit gave rise to the legend of [[Quetzalcoatl]].

 

Creme stated that since 1990 the Master Jesus has been living in secret in Rome.<ref>Creme, Benjamin ''Maitreya's Mission--Volume III'' Amsterdam:1997 Share International Foundation Page 46</ref> After [[Maitreya (Theosophy)|Maitreya]] makes his [[Share International|Emergence]] (the ''Day of Declaration''), Creme asserted, the Master Jesus in his [[Immortality|immortal]] body will assume the [[Papacy|papal throne]] for the next 2,000 years of the [[Age of Aquarius]].

 

According to the Ascended Master Teachings, the Master Jesus has a sumptuous retreat (residence on the etheric plane) above [[Jerusalem]] called the ''Resurrection Temple''. Often his mother Mary (now married to the Archangel Raphael, as noted above, and serving the Solar Logos with him in the [[solar corona]]) descends to serve with him at the Resurrection Temple doing sacred rituals and answering prayers.<ref name="Prophet Page 144"/>

 

Ascended Master Teachings groups describe the Master Jesus as having a ''twin flame'' (celestial spouse) named '''[[Lady Master Magda]]''', one of whose two known incarnations was [[Mary Magdalene]]; the other was [[Aimee Semple McPherson]].<ref>Prophet, Elizabeth Clare and Prophet, Mark (as compiled by Annice Booth) ''The Masters and Their Retreats'' Corwin Springs, Montana:2003 Summit University Press Lady Master Magda Pages 196-200</ref>

 

According to the Ascended Master Teachings, the Ascended Master '''[[John the Beloved]]''', who was Jesus’ best friend during his lifetime, has a retreat (residence on the etheric plane) above [[Arizona]] where he teaches a variety of [[Left-hand path and right-hand path|white magic]] that involves the mastery of the [[elemental spirits]] governing the realms of earth, air, water, and fire. It is believed that the Master Jesus often teleports over to John the Beloved's retreat to say hello to his old friend.<ref>Prophet, Elizabeth Clare and Prophet, Mark (as compiled by Annice Booth) ''The Masters and Their Retreats'' Corwin Springs, Montana:2003 Summit University Press Pages 146-148</ref>

 

In the teachings of the [[Aetherius Society]], headquartered in [[Hollywood, Los Angeles, California]], it is promulgated that since his resurrection, the Master Jesus has been dwelling mostly on the [[Plane (esotericism)|higher planes]] of Venus in order to work with the '''[[Aetherius Society#Founding|Master Aetherius]]''', but when his presence is required, he [[Teleportation|teleports]] to or takes a [[flying saucer]] to Earth as needed.<ref>[[George King (Aetherius Society)|King, George]], (1996) ''Contacts With The Gods From Space'', [[Hollywood, Los Angeles, California]], The [[Aetherius Society]]</ref>

 

The noted Ascended Master Teachings teacher [[Joshua David Stone]] (whose organization, the I AM University, was originally headquartered near [[San Luis Obispo, California]]), began holding his [[Wesak]] [[Mount Shasta]] gatherings in 1996. Stone had begun teaching in 1993, based on the early 1980s revelations of [[Ashtar (extraterrestrial being)#Tuella|Tuella]], that the Master Jesus, under his [[Milky Way Galaxy|galactic]] name "Sananda" (the name, Stone stated, he adopted after his resurrection), works with [[Ashtar (extraterrestrial being)|Commander Ashtar]], flying with [[Pallas Athena]] in their own flying saucer within the [[Ascended master#Cosmic beings said to be patrolling near Earth|Ashtar Galactic Command flying saucer fleet]] as its Commander-in-Chief.<ref>Stone, Joshua David ''Cosmic Ascension: Your Cosmic Map Home'' (March 1998) (Book 6 of the multi-volume series ''The Easy-To-Read Encyclopedia of the Spiritual Path''). {{ISBN|0-929385-99-3}}</ref> According to Stone, another name used by Commander Ashtar to denote his flying saucer fleet is "The Airborne Division of the Great White Brotherhood".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20091021063637/http://www.iamuniversity.org/iamu/mobile/literature/lodges/spiritual_extraterrestrials_lodge/3661-The-Ashtar-Command.html "The Ashtar Command", by Joshua David Stone:]</ref> It is believed that Ashtar is originally from a planet called Ashtar, but he moved to Venus thousands of years ago. It is said that he formed the Ashtar Galactic Command Flying Saucer Fleet at the beginning of the [[Atomic Age]] in 1945 and that in the early 1980s, at the behest of [[Sanat Kumara]], Sananda (the Higher Self of Master Jesus) and Pallas Athena took over command of the fleet. Stone continued to present these teachings after 1996 at the yearly Wesak Mount Shasta gatherings.

 

However, the Master Jesus was never one of the "Masters" that Madame Blavatsky claimed to have met. He was added as a "Master" by [[Annie Besant]] and [[C.W. Leadbeater]] in their 1913 book ''[[Man: Whence, How and Whither]]''.<ref>Besant, Annie and Leadbeater, C.W. ''Man: How, Whence, and Whither?''

* In the 1973 [[Underground comix|underground comic book]] titled ''Occult Laff-Parade'', [[cartoonist]] [[Jay Kinney]] drew a [[comic strip]] in which the Master Jesus is portrayed as commanding a [[flying saucer]] fleet orbiting Earth looking for evil-doers. He is shown as being dressed in a [[military uniform]] with a [[crew cut]] and having the title ''Commander Jesus''[http://archives.weirdload.com/art/spacejc2.gif].<ref>[http://www.weirdload.com/vat-ufo3.html Source of image of Jay Kinney’s depiction of Commander Jesus--"Jay Nelson’s Weird Load--Strange Thoughts for Strange Times":]</ref><ref>''Occult Laff-Parade'' San Francisco:1973 The Print Mint-—See 4-page comic strip by Jay Kinney and Ned Sonntag entitled "Bud Tuttle and Commander Jesus". It was a [[satire]] of a series of UFO messages from the Master Jesus that had been allegedly channeled by a woman named Nada Yolanda. [http://www.thenewearth.org/mahtnada.html Nada Yolanda:].</ref>
