The Bridge to Freedom

THE RETREATS OF THE BROTHERHOOD

The Bridge to Freedom Foundation

Master El Morya: "The Homes and The Great Council Halls of The Teachers and Guides of The Human Race are established all over the surface of The Planet Earth. The exact location of These Foci, where The Light is drawn, intensified, and held as a Radiating Center of protecting and inspiring Force, cannot be revealed to the unawakened consciousness of the outer mind of Man for reasons that are obvious. However, sincere, well-motivated people, who are eager to place themselves at the feet of The Masters and to volunteer to cooperate with Their Work, are enabled by spiritual invitation to visit in consciousness, if not in the physical body, these beautiful Retreats, Sanctuaries, and Homes." "When an individual opens his consciousness to the description, activity, and reality of The Retreats, he has gained, within himself, the way and means by which he may fly on the wings of thought to The Masters' hospitable Homes at any time. There, he is in the company of The Elect. He absorbs the strength, beauty, wisdom, and understanding that form The Radiation of The Holy Place. He returns to his own orbit filled with The Light of Truth and more able to fulfill his own individual destiny as well as be an active, intelligent co-worker with The Masters' Work at hand." "The descriptions of The Retreats are for the purpose of guiding your mind and heart along The Way, and then you may return to These Retreats again and yet again following the paths laid out to you here, in love, for your individual experience." "Certain points upon the earth's surface are more natural conductors of Spiritual Light than others. They induce and encourage spiritual thought and aspiration, where Man, in his journey Godward, finds it easier to reach the higher, purer consciousness and overcome the appetites of the outer self. Seekers after spiritual attunement have ever sought these environments, entering into the mountain fastnesses, the solitudes of desert and seashore, cultivating their Godhood under the beneficent radiation of these natural shrines." "Every individual who aspires Godward draws into the lower atmosphere around him beneficent vibrations or spiritual currents, and so he experiences a little more of The Kingdom than was present before his heartfelt search. Thus, it is said that in the very spot where Lord Buddha received his enlightenment, a Radiant Pillar of Christ Force pulsates to this day, into Which any man may step and feel, for an instant, the uplift of The Buddha's Spiritual Thought." "In Those Retreats and Foci, The Masters of The Race have entertained the seekers after Truth and, with the help of each aspirant, have built into the very walls, into The Akashic Records, and into the very substance of The Earth Itself, the spiritual aspirations, strengths, petitions, and illumination of all who are privileged to become the guests of The Way-showers among Men." "Man leaves behind Him, at the time of passing, so much of his dream, his seeking, his achievement, impregnating the atmosphere that has housed his body and spirit with his very self, and so likewise The Great Ones of The Race have left this heritage in The Retreats where They received Their Light and their ultimate Victory. This Light, coupled with the

consciously drawn and projected Light of the present Occupants of The Retreat or Home, radiates out into the atmosphere and creates invisible but potent Rays That enter into the feeling and thought centers of The Human Race and stimulate Them to higher aspiration, to cleaner, purer living." "Because Man could not live in the effluvia of his own discordant thought and feeling without the invisible and impersonal Agents Who dissolve much of the hate, selfishness, jealousy, et cetera, by their own Great Light, the establishment and sustaining of The Retreats at specific, geometrically exact locations upon the surface of The Earth were designed by The Lords of Light Who govern the destiny of The Race." Lord Mahachohan: "After the establishment of The Great White Brotherhood by Lord Sanat Kumara (The Lord of The World, The Ancient of Days, The One True Initiator) in The Heart of Shamballa so many centuries ago, there were slowly but surely drawn into The Aura of That Sacred City those lifestreams who responded to the magnetic power of His Love. These individuals voluntarily chose to accept the discipline of the outer self and prepared to accept the responsibilities and Offices of The Hierarchy as soon as possible to relieve The Cosmic Beings from other Systems Who had volunteered to serve with Sanat Kumara until earth's children might be spiritually educated and developed to a point where they would assume The Government of the planet and its evolution themselves." "These Beloved Children of Earth, from time to time, asked permission to establish and maintain Foci of Light at other points on the earth's surface and, when found ready, were graciously granted the opportunity of rendering this service. The Lords of Life knew where to plant These Spiritual Seeds That would flower one day into Great Spiritual Centers Whose Radiance would be the spiritual nourishment, anchorage, and stimulus of all Mankind. At certain geometrical locations such Foci were planned, and when The Beloved Volunteers asked for an assignment, their individual momentum, capacity, nature, and vibration were deeply studied before They were vested with the authority and power to draw and sustain The Cosmic Flame, representative of some specific Quality of Radiation required at a certain place on the earth's surface." "When a Lifestream was found Who passed the requirement of The Cosmic Law, the investment of such a One with The Flame from God's Heart took place, and the succeeding embodiments became the individual responsibility of the invested One who, through the use of his own initiative, tenacity of spirit, and powers of Love and Light, had to establish, in the physical world, The Retreat, Sanctuary, or Home of Light. Century after century these Great Souls labored, drawing toward Them those other lifestreams whom They could attract by their own love and enthusiasm, and if These proved worthy, The Cosmic Flame, at a given moment, was directed through their hearts into the physical substance of Earth at a particular location and a permanent Focus of The Great White Brotherhood established there as a radiating Center of God's Gifts of Love and Light for all succeeding generations." "The many, who endeavored to establish Retreats but were not able to endure the discipline and self-correction necessary, carried the remembrance of their vow, and these lifestreams, in

almost all embodiments, endeavored to contact and work with the spiritual communities of the day and joined The Orders established by stronger men." "The Sphere of Influence of each Retreat is determined as to size by the number of Members Who belong to The Brotherhood (of The Retreat) and is as strong as its full-gathered momentum of blessing. The Quality and Radiation of The Sacred Fire released into the atmosphere extends as far as the periphery of That Sphere of Influence." Lord Lanto: "On a map in The Teton Retreat are shown various Retreats throughout the world. They form a geometrical design, both as to the scale of miles between Centers and occult symbolism. These ancient Retreats are Places for storage of records and wealth and are also living, breathing Spiritual Centers of Power That help dissipate the human creation and raise the mass consciousness. Large deposits of gold and jewels are found at such Centers where numbers of people have gathered together and drawn spiritual power." Lord Mahachohan: "The establishment of the ancient Sanctuaries, Retreats, and Foci of Light upon The Planet Earth, as well as upon other planets of our System, comes directly under the supervision of The God Parents (Helios and Vesta, The Masculine and Feminine Aspects of The Solar Logos) of our System, and from The Fire Temples around The Sun Itself are taken The Spiritual Nuclei for The Flames That are to be established within These Spiritual Foci and, radiating therefrom, hold the balance for the constructive forces through the lower atmosphere in which Mankind has chosen to function." "When an Individual Being belonging to The Race chooses to ensoul one of the active principles of The Fire Element and has, through conscious application and centuries of discipline and dedication of his individual energies, prepared Himself for such an honor, He must pass through The Halls of The Karmic Board (coming before The Lords of Karma) and then be vested with The Powers of The Flame by The Sun Itself (The Solar Logos). Then The Flaming Center of That Cosmic Quality is anchored into The 3-fold Flame of his own Spiritual Identity, and He is allowed to take embodiment that, through the medium of his physical and inner bodies, The Flame might be anchored in the substance of Earth and, with every heartbeat, increase its momentum of Power and Sphere of Influence." "Before the close of an embodiment, such a One has always to pass on the responsibility for guiding and guarding That Flame until a new body can be secured for the original Anchorite, when the process is again repeated and the momentum and Power of That Flaming Spiritual Center is increased by His Presence in that locality. This continues for century after century until The Cosmic Law determines The Focus to be of sufficient intensity and permanence, and then The Anchorite, together with his chosen band of disciples, is allowed to embody once more and establish a permanent Spiritual Focus Which will remain a Radiating Center through Which The Powers and Activities from The Electronic Belt around The Sun will be focused permanently."

"As the number and variety of The Cosmic Qualities of The Godhead and The Powers and Activities of The Sacred Fire around The Sun of The System alone are limitless, and the evolution of the consciousness of The Race makes it possible for more and more self-conscious beings to perceive The Qualities and Powers That might enrich The Race, the process of establishing, maintaining, and expanding The Spiritual Centers is a continuous one and, although the ancient Foci have the momentum and power of centuries of application and devotion to The Flaming Substance of The God Power drawn and nourished by The Spiritual Community, new Centers and Foci have come into being through the centuries Which will, in time, greatly increase the heritage of The Race and externalize more of The Nature of The Godhead, not only through The Community but, by radiation, stimulating the growth and developement of Those Qualities within the consciousness and nature of all Mankind who share alike breath, water, air, and the subtle aetheric currents which carry The Gifts of The Godhead directly, and through These Foci, to the people." Archangel Michael: "Every Chohan (Lords of The 7 Rays) representing One of The 7 Rays (Aspects or Attributes of The Godhead) has established, at certain spiritually strategic points upon the surface of The Earth, a Focus through Which The Radiation and Power of His Ray may be magnetized and radiated forth for the blessings of all evolutions in The Earth, on The Earth, and in its atmosphere." "The Chohan and his unascended chelas represent the magnetizing and radiating centers by which The Gifts of That Ray are anchored into the emotional, mental, aetheric, and physical worlds of Mankind. When first The Ray is so anchored in the lower atmosphere where the subtle vibrations and currents of Divinity are slowed down sufficiently to be felt by the inner bodies, the minds, souls, and physical forms of Mankind, usually The Chohan and a Group of Ascended Beings perform the service of connecting The Concentrated Radiation of Their Ray with the outer consciousness of the peoples." Lord Mahachohan: "The Sphere of Influence of each Retreat becomes a Spiritual Aura made up of the qualities and energies of every Member who has ever been a part of It. The Members of These Retreats Who have Ascended from within Them into The Eternal Light have left the ladders made up of their prayers, their disciplines, abstinences, and illumination behind Them as a heritage so that every succeeding Member has the strength of Their victory as an added impetus to his own Soul Light." "Thus has been built the spiritual heritage of the ancient Sanctuaries and Retreats around the planet, and These Radiating Centers have been the salvation of Mankind because They have been the dissolving alchemy that has transmuted great quantities of the effluvia of human discord. These Spheres of Influence or Forcefields vary in size according to the number and consciousness of Those Who still serve within The Retreat, the type of service They render, and the length of time They have been established. The Retreats and Sanctuaries were established at strategic points across the surface of The Earth under the direction of God Beings Who felt that certain points must have protection and radiation to hold the balance for

the entire sphere." "At Inner Levels, many individuals who were interested in mankind's greater good often volunteered to take into their bodies a concentration of a certain Ray (Attribute or Virtue of The Godhead) and then, literally, dived down into the astral and psychic realms and into physical embodiment and pinned That Ray into The Earth through their flesh bodies. Such individuals magnetized these locations in the very first place. Your Beloved Jesus rendered this service many times (in embodiments prior to that of Jesus). He magnetized those places in Jerusalem, Golgotha, and Bethany. He also magnetized places through Continental Europe, in various places in England, and in Asia that have not yet been activated by drawing currents through his own body and standing in the silence for 7 long years until there were literally Light Plants set into The Earth where his feet stood. Some of these were activated by Himself and Mary later in Jerusalem and Lourdes, and others will be picked up by sensitive lifestreams in this present century and the centuries yet to come." "Over The Planet Earth, for thousands of years, have been functioning beautiful Retreats with Great God-free Beings tending The Powers of The Sacred Fire drawn within Them, welcoming the few among Mankind whose Light drew them into that vicinity, and radiating out from Those Heart Centers certain purifying powers which did much to dissipate the psychic and astral creations that make up the lower atmosphere of the planet." "Mankind at large had very little, if any, conscious knowledge of the existence of These Retreats, not to mention the activities, past and current, that went on within Them, with the exception of the few lifestreams who were drawn into Their Sacred Precincts throughout the years and who usually passed therefrom into their Eternal Freedom. However, through the past several years, more of Mankind has become aware of the existence of These Holy Places, and so it became The Beloved Morya's Project to give these people a knowledge of the current activities going on within These Retreats, and thus The Bridge Activity was born (The New Endeavor of The Brotherhood in the 1950's)." Master El Morya: "The Retreat opened for the month is a Focus for the directed energies of The Spiritual Hierarchy each month in the yearly cycle. Each Retreat is a Concentrated Focus of Energy qualified to bless life in a specific manner. The Brothers and Sisters of That Retreat magnetize Primal Life, qualify It with radiation which Their Retreat has offered to channel into the mental, emotional, aetheric, and physical bodies of Mankind. They consciously radiate That Qualified Energy forth to bless The Race, even as The Sun (The Solar Logos) of This System magnetizes The Primal Life from The Central Sun (of this particular portion of The Galaxy, Sirius A) and radiates It forth as light, heat, fecundating power, etc." Master Serapis Bey: "In the early ages, Those Focuses of The Sacred Fire, Those Fire Temples, those priests and priestesses of The Sacred Fire had the full power within themselves to draw, from The Inner Realms, That Sanctified Light, and they held, through The Sacred Fire, the constructive Qualities for the masses."

"From the time when the laggards from the other Systems entered into the evolution of The Earth, The Fire Temples began to decrease in size, in number, and in efficacy. The Atlantean Age was the last great era when The Fire Temples held the balance for constructive endeavor, when virtue overbalanced vice, when the constructive Radiation from The Temples through Mankind was the predominant quality of thoughts and feelings in which the consciousness of Mankind moved." "These Fire Temples were guarded by dedicated lifestreams who had yet access to The Ascended Master Realm not only through word and vision but through radiation. The High Priests of each such Temple, with his accompanying guardian ring of blazing spirits, was able to hold a contact through the ever-increasing veil of maya and over the line of energy, which that contact represented, draw the counsel of The Master Presences, and draw the emanation of peace, healing, protection , purity, or whatever The Temple was noted for, and nourish those qualities and virtues within The Mankind at large. When the priesthood began to decline in virtue, the line of contact was impaired, and the nourishment flowing forth from The Fire Temples was decreased. The centers, within the mental and feeling worlds of the masses, not finding that pressure of nourishment began to create and externalize the vice intead of the virtues." "It was following this period of the transfer of the power from The God Guardians to the masses that Atlantis was called upon to fold her mantle about Her and sink beneath the waves. At no time since then has there been raised up and sustained sufficient numbers of God-intelligent beings to re-establish the balance for the virtues on The Earth." "We are now again at the inception of such an Age. The establishment and sustaining of The Retreats by The Ascended Masters on The Planet Earth and in The Aetheric Realm was the only insurance for the sustaining of The Earth as a planet and for the sustaining of any spiritual quality within the mental and feeling worlds of the people. These Retreats, however, were not heavily populated, and the very few among Mankind who could be magnetized and drawn into Them did not balance, before The Law, the millions and billions of uncontrolled lifestreams which use The Earth as a playground rather than a Temple. If it had not been for These Great Foci of Light, The Retreats upon The Earth, Mankind would have degraded into savagery." "The Ascended Masters' Retreats are not only for the training of Initiates. They form Great Foci of Light through Which are drawn mighty Spiritual Currents, unto and into The Earth and the activities of The 4 Elements, for purifying, balancing, and illumining Mankind and the planet." Lord Mahachohan: "In The Aetheric Realm are those glorious Temples of Blazing Light, some of Which were manifest on The Earth before in the times of Atlantis, Lemuria, early Greece, and Egypt. In those great civilizations, where The Golden Ages were a manifest expression of God-supremacy through the lifestreams on Earth, Those Temples of Light, although their

physical counterparts were destroyed, have been sustained and ensouled by beautiful Divine Beings and live in The Aetheric Realm pulsating in, through, and around this physical appearance world even this day. They have been utilized, ever since They were drawn forth by their first creators, as Focuses in Which The Angelic Host, The Christ Selves of Mankind, and The Elemental Kingdom have worshipped, served, have drawn forth radiation and projected it into The Universe age after age." "In the great ages where Mankind knew freedom, the priests and priestesses of The Sacred Fire concentrated upon one specific Gift to life. They became specialists in drawing forth, from The Heart of The Universal, that particular Quality and Momentum. There were Temples of Precipitation, Illumination, Education, Healing, Temples where The Nature Devas were trained to control all weather conditions, and so on and so forth." "The Mankind that functioned and lived in those eras knew where Those Temples were. When they were depleted in themselves, in one quality or another, they made pilgrimage to Those Temples. As they walked up the steps and just sat within the silence of Those Temples, they were revitalized. Their own energies absorbed, even as the sponge absorbs water, the quality of energy which the priests and priestesses had gathered and which were offered really to all who entered therein. The individual lifestreams in the locale, priests from the various suburbs, would come to The Head Temple in the vicinity and receive that revitalization to be able to go forth and carry that radiation back to their people." "When the students are strong and when their momentum is gathered, then will be time to increase the numbers of The Mankind of Earth who are cognizant of The Temples and The Retreats and of their service. Then will be time to turn the attention and the consciousness of the people toward the students, for they will have something to give that will be of benefit and which will be the greatest proof possible of their oneness with The Source and their direction from Us. For they are our representatives in this world of form. On their Light and on their manifest work is our success measured by the people in the world, for We, by Cosmic Law, must yet remain behind the human veil and use them as our bodies, lips, hands, hearts, and as our very Selves in action." Master El Morya: "An Ascended Master Retreat is established and maintained upon The Earth for the purpose of forming a Radiating Center of the feeling of a particular God Virtue Which the people require in their search for mastery and its attendant peace of mind, soul, and body. The Retreat is sustained by its selfless Ones Who choose to anchor God Virtues into the lower atmosphere of The Earth and provide the ways and means by which those unascended lifestreams, who are interested in forwarding the speedier progress of the evolution of The Earth, may have access to That Virtue as well as the training required to consciously generate and radiate That Virtue through the expansion of The Christ Flame within the heart." Master El Morya: "The Cosmic Law requires that some Intelligence magnetize and draw down The Virtues of The Godhead for the blessing of those who cannot rise to the full height where their own

consciousness can partake of These Gifts. Thus they find the nourishment which is provided by proximity to The Radiating Centers of such Virtues." "Therefore, from the beginning of self-conscious life in every Sphere, Intelligences have offered Themselves as Conductors for These Qualities, Virtues, and Gifts. This is done in no more mysterious manner than The Sun Itself (The Solar Logos) steps down and radiates the light, heat, nourishment, and fecundating power of The Central Sun Which stands above It in The Universal Scheme of Creation, These Rays (or Aspects and Attributes of The Creator) forming The Conductors of The Gifts of The Solar Sun into the world of Man." "Such a Focus of a Cosmic Virtue radiating into the atmosphere and worlds of Mankind supplies a pressure of the substance and feeling of That Virtue Which interpenetrates the planes of mankind's consciousness and beneficially affects all the life belonging to those evolutions. In the physical world, God needs the bodies of those who are willing to magnetize and radiate The Divine Virtues through The Human Race. Thus the various Orders of the priesthood held close to The Virtues to Which they had dedicated their lives, services, invocation, applications, and ministrations." "Every God Virtue comes Earthward anchored through the heart of some volunteer spirit who chooses to weave its essence and substance into the mental, feeling, aetheric, and physical substance of the evolutions using The Earth for a Schoolroom upon life's way. Then through the ages, others, sensing The Presence of That Flame (or Divine Virtue), choose to give to It their own life. Thus It becomes stronger and more powerful in its radiating activity for the blessing of all. This is a part of the marvelous Gift of The Godhead in allowing self-conscious intelligence to cooperate with The Source in giving The Divine Nature to those who can and will accept It. The use of any activity of The Sacred Fire increases the power of That Fire for all others, even as the first explorer, cutting his way through the brush, makes it easier for the next group to make a foot path until finally there is a wide highway to a specific goal." Master El Morya: "Mankind has little concept of the loyalty, constancy, love, and devotion required to hold a Flame Which has been drawn from Higher Realms into lower realms, because the natural activity of all life is to seek its own level of vibration. The Flames, Which vibrate at a rate which is one with The Perfected Vibrations at Inner Levels, naturally desire to rise and seek again Their Source. The magnetizing power of Those Beings, Who continue to invoke and actually nourish by their own attention, love, and devotion to These Flames, is responsible for The Radiating Centers of God Virtue." "It is the desire of The Lord Mahachohan, Lord Maitreya, and Others that some among unascended Mankind may prove sufficiently loyal, enthusiastic, loving, constant, pure, and consecrated so that These Cosmic Flames may be drawn from The Aetheric Realms through the veil into the physical appearance world, visible and tangible to the physical sight of all Mankind." "It is for this purpose that the veil has been parted and The Cosmic Law has allowed Us to

establish a source of communion (The Bridge Activity) between The Ascended Host and the outer consciousness of the chelas. Over this line of communication, the students have been made aware of the presence of various Retreats and Spiritual Foci." Archangel Michael: "There are Great Spiritual Currents concentrated at certain Points on the surface of The Earth Which are guarded by Groups of Cherubim and Seraphim. These Centers were created and have been maintained, according to The Divine Plan, to hold the balance of pure Life Forces. Greatly evolved Individuals have taken embodiment and, through invocation, have drawn and established Spiritual Currents at other Points where They lived." "These Spiritual Centers constantly radiate Light similar to The Sun. Cherubim and Seraphim enfold Them in their protective Ring of Light preventing the emanation of the people of Earth from dissipating These Centers. By giving attention to These Guarding Beings and their service in sustaining These Currents, it will increase the reserve of Concentrated Spiritual Power and Radiation. When That becomes intense enough, It will dissolve the human veil. Then anyone who enters such a Focus may see into The Higher Realms. This often takes place in The Retreats, and it has occurred at Lourdes." Lord Mahachohan: "The contemplation of The Presence of God as an Individual Focus of Intelligence (The I Am Presence), alive and connected with his own ego, forms the basis for all contemplative studies that are the heart center of the training of the Initiate in every Retreat and Focus of Light upon The Planet Earth." "The use of powers developed, the capacities unfolded, and the knowledge which becomes part of the lifestream's heritage vary according to the particular Retreat and service to which he has dedicated his being. As he evolves the powers and capacities which come from a realization of This Presence, such a one does increase the service of The Channel to Which he has dedicated himself." Master El Morya: "The reason for opening the doors of consciousness to The Retreats is the invitation to the student to contemplate the activities there and contribute to all life in and around them by becoming conductors of The Quality and Activity of The Flame." Archangel Michael: "As each Retreat is opened (for a particular month), all the combined Radiation of The Heavenly Host is focused through It to expand its Sphere of Influence. In like manner, as Lord Mahachohan has seen fit to allow unascended beings to journey to These Retreats through the gift of projected consciousness, every chela and student may also help in the expansion of its Sphere of Influence."

Master Kuthumi: "Within The Heart of These Great Retreats and Sanctuaries Which dot the surface of this globe, the most exquisite, balanced control of energy forms the pattern for daily and hourly living, and were anyone of you to consciously, within your own physical body, step within such a holy and sanctified Place, your first impression would be one of exquisite peace and relaxation." Master El Morya: "When The Hierarchy has a Retreat open to Mankind, all of The Great White Brotherhood focus their attention there, and This Concentrated Power magnetizes the souls of men who desire to live good lives and conducts them into the atmosphere of This Retreat during this period (a particular month). If they are drawn unconsciously, they float in the atmosphere in a semi-dream state absorbing The Radiation but are unaware of The Great Councils, teachings, and instruction that are presented by The Brothers to those who consciously direct themselves toward The Retreat before entering sleep or, when there is an opportunity, through the day." "All who will still themselves and visualize the physical location of The Retreat and The Presence of The Master in Charge will find themselves drawing, into their consciousness and inner nature, much of the great outpouring. At times, they will bring back strong and useful impressions of instructions given at the feet of The Great Ones which will assist all who desire to increase The Gifts and Graces of God in their own worlds and affairs." "By giving attention to and invoking what a Retreat offers, they will project, from That Retreat, a Light Ray carrying The Concentrated Quality and Power. This God-qualified Energy will enter the individual's lifestream in proportion to the expansion of his consciousness and lift him beyond his present evolvement." "There is no outer means by which any unascended being can force himself or herself into The Ascended Master's Presence nor into their glorious Retreats. One can enter only by individual preparation of his soul, in true humility, and by having within himself the motivating power of Pure Divine Love for all life and an honest purpose, not a surface desire, to help in the program of the evolutions presently using The Earth for a planetary home." "When visiting Retreats in consciousness, one may absorb The Feeling, Reality, and Consciousness of Those Who have magnetized, sustained, and radiated forth certain Powers and Gifts for the blessing of those who choose to avail themselves of These Gifts." Master Kuthumi: "The main object of opening The Retreats and inviting the consciousness of the students thereto, revealing a small portion of the activities taking place within Them, is to increase the spiritual wealth of the individual lifestreams as well as all the evolutions which are using The Planet Earth as their home."

"For the chelas there is a tremendous acceleration of the 4 lower bodies through the actual conveyance of their consciousness to The Ascended Masters' Retreats during the 30-day period while They are particularly active. They can avail themselves daily of a trip in consciousness to The Heart of the current Retreat and stand within The Concentrate of Flame thus having tremendous assistance in the purification of the lower vehicles." "What happens when we go together in full projected consciousness into Those Retreats? The outer mind, the mental body, and the emotional world enter into The Vibratory Action and Presence of not only The Master in Charge of the visitation but of The Radiation and Aura of the entire Celestial Hierarchy assembled There, and one brings back that grace into the orbit of his daily living." "Since The Beloved Morya parted the veil of maya sufficiently to allow you to be taken to The Retreats during the great festive occasions when They are most active, you have been privileged in body, soul, and spirit to witness activities that previously were known only to the very few Initiates Who had attained conscious control over the outer selves to a point where They might come and go from the body at will. Now, in a certain degree of comfort, while still retaining your outer consciousness as well as control of your physical vehicles without the necessity of trance or sleep, you are transported into The Sacred Precincts of Those God-vested Halls and Homes Where The Perfected Beings have drawn and radiated only perfection for centuries." Lord Mahachohan: "The opening of each Retreat is attended with great pomp and ceremony at Inner Levels. For days before the great celebration, The Brothers connected with The Retreat draw forth all the beauty and artistic developement that Their Ascended Master Consciousness has at its command, and it is always a surprise and a delight, to even The Masters, to see the exquisite decorations that These Blessed Ones draw forth from Life, and yet there are never any 2 alike." Lord Mahachohan: "As even in your physical world today, specialization makes for efficacy, so The Temples of Lemuria and Atlantis, of Egypt, Persia, and India specialized in directing particular Activities of The Sacred Fire, and lifestreams who, by nature, vibrated with the same natural Quality became the priests and priestesses who invoked, drew, and directed That Fire for the blessings of the masses. In these early Golden Ages, the populous knew to which Temple they should go for healing, for peace, for purity, for opulence, and blending their own life with the momentum gathered in That Temple they were infused with the cosmic momentum and assisted in manifesting the desired effect." Lord Mahachohan: "The Sphere of Influence of each Retreat on the planet forms a very beautiful sight when seen with the inner eye. The Retreat Itself forms The Flaming Heart Center, and The Concentric Rings of Living Light That flow from It make It look like a veritable Sun against the dark

background of Earth. The quality of the service determines the color, and The Radiation takes on the sound of a most exquisite melody, making It not only a joy to behold but to contemplate as well. If it were not for Those Retreats, The Mankind of Earth could not have maintained their physical bodies due to the effluvia of their human creation. The number of Members and residing Brothers of each Retreat, the length of time It has been established, and the momentum gathered through each member's invocation and devotion determine the size of its Sphere of Influence, so that the inner picture of each Retreat shows a great variation in size, color, and cosmic tone, but All work together in perfect harmony making a cosmic picture of exquisite harmony." "When The Pattern for the year is given by The Silent Watcher (The Planetary Logos, The Higher Self of Sanat Kumara) to Sanat Kumara (The Lord of The World), it is his responsibility to say Which Retreats can best furnish the spiritual impetus which will help the individual soul to cooperate with The Divine Plan in externaling That Pattern." "From His Cosmic Consciousness, Sanat Kumara observes the revolving Earth and, against its darkness, sees the various Retreats pouring out their color, song, and influence, and then, like a Master Musician pulling out the stops on a cosmic organ, He mutes The Radiation from One and emphasizes That of Another according to the need of the moment. Thus, The Radiation from the various Retreats becomes a Symphony in The Mind of The Lord of The World long before It is played, with the difference being that each Retreat, instead of being an unconscious note played by a Will outside of Itself, becomes a voluntary Self-Conscious Contribution to The Divine Symphony." "Once He has designed The Pattern for the 12 months, Sanat Kumara leaves it up to The Hierarch of each Retreat to provide the maximum outpouring by the enlisting of whatever voluntary energy He can secure from the people of Earth as well as from the active Members of The Retreat." "When some Lifestream draws forth enough of The Sacred Fire stamped with a certain Quality (or Virtue of The Godhead) to warrant the establishment of a permanent Retreat for Its Radiation, He draws toward Him certain lifestreams imbued with the same desire and quality of radiation, and these egos embody again and again, feeding their life energies into That Particular Focus thus increasing The Sphere of Influence of such a Retreat or Sanctuary." "When The Cosmic Law, through Sanat Kumara, notifies The Hierarch of such a Focus that He will be given the opportunity to serve a World Cause through intensifying The Radiation of His Particular Retreat, every lifestream who has ever contributed his energy to That Particular Quality is notified at inner levels, and he is given the opportunity of contributing his energies as powerfully as possible to push The Sphere of Influence of That Sanctuary outwardly as far as their united efforts can do so to bathe both Mankind and Nature with its beneficent Radiation." "Besides the general momentum of The Retreat, The Cosmic Impetus of a Directed Ray from Sanat Kumara, through His Representative, Lord Maitreya (The Master of The Masters and World Teacher), was added to the momentum of each Retreat when The Cosmic Law gave

The Grant that the consciousness of Mankind be made acquainted with the activities from month to month, and This became a permanent Gift Which is not withdrawn when the succeeding month brings in a new Outpouring." Lord Mahachohan: "Each 30 or 31 days, The Brotherhood focuses Their Love and Attention upon one Retreat and amplifies The Quality and Power of That Retreat for the blessing of the evolution of which They are The Guardians." "One day there will be permanently established, at strategic locations all over The Earth, These Foci of The God Power in Which unascended beings will have earned the right to guard The Focused Flame, which comes only when The Law sees that such Flame will be rhythmically, systematically, reverently, and constantly guarded. This will be The Era of The Age of Freedom (The Aquarian Age), and These Flames of Hope, Peace, Healing, Supply, and Illumination will be the source at which each spirit may receive the personal impetus to develope and mature through the individual lifestreams. These Flames will be the balance, holding The Golden Age of The Master St. Germain (Chohan of The 7th Ray) as the permanent, eternal Age of Perfection for the planet, and in this small beginning We see those responding who have, throughout the centuries, drawn, guarded, and wielded These Flames for the protection and illumination of the civilization in which they lived." "When a Forcefield signifies to The Law that It is strong enough, powerful enough, and permanent enough to warrant the establishment of some Quality of The Sacred Fire from The Higher Realms through It, We shall begin the actual ritual of the descent of The Flaming Virtues and Qualities Which are The Nature of God. In one locality, The Focus may be of healing, in another of peace, in another of illumination. The sensitive will easily discern the particular Quality Which is to be the radiation of that group or, where individuals are unable to join together, The Quality Which is to radiate through an individual, his home, as well as his heart. The Great Foci, however, will be established where there are sufficient numbers to warrant the investment of The Flame except in those exceptional cases where the priest or priestess has the cosmic momentum of centuries of such service in The Temples of the ages when The Flame was the manifest expression of a Virtue." Lord Mahachohan: "The White Brotherhood's purpose and service to the evolutionary scheme is to teach Mankind how to create and sustain perfection. There is no way to become a Member except by the voluntary dedication of a portion of the individual life to impersonal service whereby life, as a whole, might be blessed, purified, raised, transmuted, and freed from shadows, limitation, and distress of every kind. One of the activities of This Selfless Order is to send forth The Power of The Sacred Fire to bless Mankind." "When the intelligence voluntarily offers to apportion its daily gift of life to help the evolution of the entire scheme, such a one is accepted by The Brotherhood and becomes part of the living, breathing Body of This Celestial Guardian Presence."

Lord Mahachohan: "We hope to establish more Temples at various places on The Planet Earth where Focuses of The Sacred Fire may be drawn to give certain benefits, certain blessings to the people. The directors, messengers, and lifestreams who have been chosen as The Heart Center of this work are chosen because of the momentum in their causal bodies which can be a forcefield through which Those Powers of The Sacred Fire may be focused for the blessing of The Elemental Kingdom, The Kingdom of Man, and The Kingdom of The Angels." The Great Divine Director: "When any Master or Messenger is to grace The Planet Earth with His Presence, when any Avatar is to bring forth The Primal Pulsation for a new age and era, many lifestreams, who are developed and trained in the power of magnetization, volunteer to go before and with Him to render the service of making a forcefield through which He may work. There are no exceptions. There never have been, and there never will be to that. It is all cooperative endeavor." "The magnetizing of The Sacred Fire through the power of invocation is the particular training of The 7th Ray. The 7th Root Race which I (Manu of the future 7th Root Race) represent, when It is embodied and matured, will show Mankind what the power of conscious invocation can do to translate the glories of Heaven into the substance and energies of This Earth." "Before the earth life of Gautama Buddha, the same service was rendered. The centers that He was to energize were magnetized by holy men and monks who volunteered, at Inner Levels, to take embodiment and to draw from The Higher Realms those spiritual energies which, passing out from their bodies, formed a Wheel of Light around them and began a pulsation into Which He and his disciples stepped. During his life, the sacred teachings He gave, the worded expression that came through his lips, the truths that He brought were measured by the amount of magnetization that his disciples could, in application, show to The Cosmic Law. He could give only as much or as little as that combined radiation would prove to The Law was merited. "Before The Ministry of The Master Jesus, He, as Apollonius, and many others came into embodiment and magnetized the centers in Jerusalem and The Holy Land, in Egypt, and every place where His Ministry and His Personal Light was to manifest. The Master Jesus inherited that established momentum which enabled Him to draw forth the magnificent Truths Which He presented and Which were written into the gospels, many of Which have not yet been released to Mankind." "The disciples who formed the circle around The Master Jesus, His Mother, and the holy women who were her spiritual court magnetized, for Jesus, certain of The Angelic Host and certain Cosmic Beings, and Jesus was able to give forth Those Truths because The Law, seeing the energies of embodied lifestreams so dedicated, measured out The Truth according to the magnetization and aura established."

Lord Mahachohan: "In all Golden Ages, Temples were drawn forth and priests and priestesses devoted their entire lives to invoking, directing, and sustaining Life qualified with specific blessings. The populace knew to which Temple they should apply for assistance in manifesting whatever was the requirement of the individual soul or localized section of the planetary surface of The Earth at a given time." "The Forcefield created around The Temple was heavily charged with Qualified Life, and the individual representing the local unit, when he entered That Forcefield, found his own forcefield absorbing The Quality of That Life. He became a conductor of The Aura of That Temple. An emissary from any location was one who was able to control his own energies enough so that when they were charged with The Quality of The Temple he could bring that qualification back to his own locality and form the pattern for the energies of the local priest's endeavors. Thus, the braziers of the pilgrims were, in truth, their own emotional bodies and personal forcefields." "Pilgrimages to Holy Shrines were based on the truth that the momentum gathered by consecrated lifestreams was a substance and could be conveyed to the pilgrim while his own aura was within That Group Forcefield. In a similar manner, the seekers for Truth in The East chose to bathe in the forcefield of the holy men and, by contagion, receive of the impetus to their own soul evolution." Lord Mahachohan: "I took the responsibility of securing permission from The Karmic Board to open the secret recesses of The Retreats and of The Masters of Wisdom to the outer minds of unascended beings. It is my endeavor, through so offering the contents and activity of The Retreats to those who choose to visit Them in consciousness, that the outer self might become aware of Those Retreats, of their strategic points on the face of The Earth, and of the service of The Hierarch and The Brotherhood; also that the inner self of everyone so privileged to pass where unascended feet have never passed before, then in that greater awareness, they might offer the gift of their own Light that they, not only cognizant of the activities expanding through That Sphere of Influence take advantage in love and in humility but with the positive conviction in The Power of Light of absorbing, through proximity, Those Virtues within The Flame would bring back with them into their own orbits, individual, national, and continental, something of The Radiation of That Retreat then active." Master Serapis Bey: "When The Mahachohan suggested that The Radiation of The Retreats be expanded, that The Forcefields be expanded by the drawing in of interested lifestreams to The Retreat even in their aetheric bodies, We saw, Those of Us Who are God-free, that He intended to begin the re-establishment of the balance of power for God on The Earth and in its atmosphere through that very activity. The blessed children of Earth and the innocent chelas who joyously bound from Retreat to Retreat in the monthly cycle have no consciousness yet of the tremendous inner significance of The Mahachohan's Design. But every lifestream who, in

the aetheric body or The Christ Self, turns his attention toward a Retreat gives to That Retreat of his life, whether it is an electron, whether it is an hour of contemplation and prayer for the good of The Retreat and the expansion of Its Light, or whether it is a constant visitation to That Retreat throughout the monthly period in which the life and energies of the chela become a part of The Fire and increase The Forcefield so long as he is within That Retreat in thought and feeling." "The Gifts The Retreat has to give to the world are determined by the amount of conscious life energy poured through The Retreat from those who have been made aware of its activity and service in a given cycle. When The Mahachohan chose and designed to bring The Retreats to the consciousness of Mankind, it was so that some might pour their voluntary Light into The Pulsation of Energy and Virtue in The Retreat and make That Quality larger in the lower atmosphere." "When unascended beings become vitally interested in the activity of a Virtue, they begin to contemplate That Virtue, Quality, Gift, or Service to life. They then, through the mathematical accuracy of The Law of Attraction, draw their lifestreams toward those particular Beings Who are Masters of That Quality, Virtue, Activity, and Service. That is how candidates come to the various Retreats, how chelas apply to The Guru at inner levels long before the outer mind is even aware of the fact, and how spiritual fellowships are set up between Ascended and unascended beings for the sole purpose of expanding The Service, The Radiation, The Quality, and The Virtue of The Ascended Beings at some point on the earth's surface for some great service." "Those chelas then are conductors. They are channels. They are impersonal facets through which a God-free Being sees the possibility of externalizing His Virtue, His Quality of The Sacred Fire, and His Power. Looking from The Inner Realms, one would see The Ascended Master a Great Flame of cosmic proportions, a Funnel of Light pouring down around the chela of his choice, and then the virtue, the color, and the nature of The Quality from The Master pouring into the chela and making a little lotus flower around the physical form." "The Master does this consciously. The chela can do as much or as little as he chooses to weave his own life into That Virtue and make a larger Sphere of Influence in the lower atmosphere. If he is negatively receptive, he is an unconscious conductor, and The Master does all the work. If he is alert, conscious, and desirous of assisting The Master, he takes his own life and he breathes it into The Virtue and The Quality that The Master represents. The only reason for a contact between a God-free Being and a human being is the potential good that can be rendered the whole." Master El Morya: "A spiritual retreat and pilgrimage is 2-fold: one is to give of your light and life to increase the activity and blessing of the endeavor, two to increase, develope, and mature your own nature so that, returning into your personal orbits, you are greater instruments of efficacy and worth to The Great White Brotherhood and to The Masters under Whom you serve." "Pilgrimages have gone on on The Planet Earth since the last Golden Age to Foci where

assistance could be given. Lifestreams have gone to Jerusalem to get The Spiritual Radiation of The Master Jesus. They have gone to various Shrines mostly motivated by a desire to receive Spiritual Light, and they do. The Master or The Deva or The God Being Who stands as The Concentrated Focus of Energy in and around such Spiritual Centers releases, to and through each such pilgrim, a blessing commensurate with that pilgrim's ability to accept, digest, assimilate, and make his own the more spiritual and subtle current."
