The Homes and Retreats of the Masters of Wisdom
ROCKY MOUNTAIN RETREAT
From June 15th through July 14th, 1953
Twice each year, at the beginning of the twelve-month cycle in January, and at
the end of June, the Great White Brotherhood have the opportunity of gathering
together before that august body of Divine Justice and Mercy who are known as
the Lords of Karma.
The beautiful Retreat located in the western part of the United States of
America, in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, plays Host to the Ascended Masters
and their chosen chelas, pupils and aspirants toward wisdom.
The entire service and activity of that Spiritual Body of Dedicated Intelligent
God Beings known as the Great White Brotherhood is to raise the consciousness of
mankind and make it possible for every individual to know perfect heath of mind
and body, abundance of every good and perfect thing, and to learn what God, the
Father, desires that the individual shall manifest to widen the borders of his
glorious Kingdom. Throughout the year, in the various Retreats throughout the
world, selfless Brothers and Sisters are constantly preparing plans for the
furthering of the evolution of the race, and these plans and designs are
presented at the Half Yearly Councils in order to secure the sanction of the
Lords of Karma and the necessary dispensations and grants of energy required to
carry the plans into effect.
The Law governing the evolution of the race is that all benefits and blessings
must come through the natural door of the consciousness of some member of the
race yet embodied and belonging to the realm in which the blessing is to
manifest. This is evident, because the long course of history proves without a
question of a doubt that although all the inventions and discoveries and
blessings existed in the mind of God and were easily perceived by those who had
earned the right to live in his Presence, these gifts did not become the
property of the race until one of their number grasped the idea and drew it
through the energies of his own world. Even Jesus had to take on a physical
body, to translate the Word of God to man!
It is to secure the cooperation and interest of, the constructive students of
life who attend these Half Yearly Councils that the Members of the Brotherhood
present their various petitions and plans. Upon the amount of interest shown by
the embodied life-streams who, in the greater freedom of their inner bodies, are
privileged to participate in these Councils, depends the extent of the grants
and dispensations handed down to the Brothers, by the Karmic Board.
For several days before the Great Audience Chamber is opened, the Brothers
gather and present to the Keeper of the Records the particular plans and designs
which their Individual Retreats are sponsoring. These plans are fastened on a
gigantic Bulletin Board and each Retreat is assigned a conference room where one
of the Brothers is always in attendance upon any lifestream who has read with
interest the proposed plan and who signifies a willingness to contribute the
voluntary energies of his own waking consciousness to forward such a plan. Thus,
before the general presentation of the plans and designs, the Brothers have a
comprehensive idea of how many sponsors, from among the human race, will be
willing to stand up when the Spokesman for the. Karmic Board asks "And who,
among the sons of men, will offer you their energies and their consciousness to
forward your plan, despite any personal discomfort or inconvenience which such
selfless service may entail?"
After all the plans and designs are heard, and the sponsors from among the human
race duly noted, the grants are handed down, and those Masters who have secured
the greatest response from the hearts of the assembled embodied mankind receive
the most energy from the Cosmic Store House which balances the "pledged" energy
of the students.
The Glorious Being who has become known to many as the Goddess of Liberty is the
Spokesman of the Karmic Council. The Goddess of Justice; Pallas Athena (Goddess
of Truth); Kwan Yin (Goddess of Mercy); the Divine Director; the Great
All-Seeing Eye of God (Vista) and the Goddess of Love are the present Members of
this Body.
It is suggested that the alert members of the human race who deeply desire to
further, the Cause of World Good fashion from within their own consciousness
suitable petitions which will be courteously heard and which bear great weight
in the decisions of the Karmic Board as they always favor initiative and
selflessness when expressed through the consciousness of individuals who are yet
a part of the mass karma of the race. Such petitions should be written down and,
after the night of June 30th, consigned to the flames as their work will then
have been completed.
May every member of the human race, embodied and disembodied, attend this Great
Council and offer their energies to the Beautiful Sons and Daughters of Freedom
that the planet may quickly outpicture the perfection that is intended for her
and her peoples!
