Geraldine Innocente

Geraldine Innocente (died June 21 1961) is the founder of a New Age church she named The Bridge to Freedom, which was established in 1951 by her and other Students of the Ascended Masters, after she received what was believed to be an Anointing to become a Messenger for the Great White Brotherhood in 1944. ["The Bridge to Freedom Journal" Book 1 1952. Reprinted: Mount Shasta, California: The Ascended Master Teaching Foundation 1989] [http://www.ascension-research.org/geraldin.html] This organization believed that their teachings had been given to humanity by the Ascended Masters. These were believed to be individuals who had lived in physical bodies, acquired the Wisdom and Mastery needed to become Immortal and Free of the cycles of "re-embodiment" and karma, and attained their "Ascension". They considered the "Ascension" to be the complete permanent union of the purified outer self with the "I AM" Presence - that True Identity that is the unique Individualization of God for each person.
