The Ascended Masters were once human just like you and me. They went through all the challenges that any human must go through, including all the doubts and questions that come up once we start to meditate. Like Kannon and Lord Buddha, they developed compassion for the human condition and made a vow to help as many people as possible to meet these challenges and become Enlightened.
Once they gained their Enlightenment, they continued to work on developing their consciousness to higher states and learned how to bring more Love and Light into every cell of their body. While still living on Earth, they transformed their physical body into a Body of Light. We call this Ascension. Ascended Masters never experience a physical death and continue to live in Higher Dimensions overseeing the activities of human beings for all Eternity.
