The Ashram Notes were dictated between 1952 and 1958 by the Ascended Master El Morya to his amanuensis Mark L. Prophet.

The published volume includes 39 letters to chelas who compose the Ashram and six rituals to be given simultaneously around the world.

Elizabeth Clare Prophet said, “El Morya gave us a tremendous means of contacting our inner Master, as well as the inner Master of every lightbearer in cosmos, when he gave us the Ashram Notes and the Ashram Rituals. When I prepared these Ashram Notes and Rituals, I was jumping up and down like a four-year-old.

“I was so excited. I said, ‘Here are meditations that are going to give our entire Community such an intense contact with all of cosmos!’”

In chapter two El Morya explains, "Our principal reason for founding this Ashram is for the linking of hearts worldwide in a ritual of scheduled group meditations.

"Even though we are separated by time and space, we shall all meet in a union of consciousness, laboring and travailing together to give birth to our Ashram for God."

The six rituals are:

The Ascended Master on the Ashram Notes:

"I promise you, beloved, that I will impart to you the wine of the Spirit and the bread of Life if you will read these Ashram Notes slowly and offer the rituals in between, seeking not to devour them all at once and [therefore] not digesting them, but understanding that the terse statements and the cups of Light and the words [of Wisdom] are for your Christhood, for a deep foundation in the consciousness of God.

"You will assimilate [the Word] as you give devotion through these rituals, as you give your visualizations and as you see yourself truly an outpost of the Divine–as the Light, Light, Light all-glorious flows through you, flows through your chakras, and you direct that Light consciously with the intensity of your inner vision, your mind, your will, the love of your heart and all of your desiring to save souls of Light in any and all octaves." - Lanello, February 25, 1990

"The bonding process to my heart has begun for all [of you] who desire it if you will take the Ashram Notes, if you will faithfully do the rituals, not necessarily [all of them] hour upon hour but those you select to give at a certain time. Be regular and rhythmic. For each time you give even a ritual that requires but three minutes, you will tremble the antahkarana of all souls who are a part of this Ashram. You will strengthen the weak. You will be strengthened by the strong. You will see how a cosmos can quiver. For everywhere you are is Morya intensifying the Light." - El Morya April 8, 1990
