GREETINGS! BLESSINGS! GRATITUDE! from the hearts
of every Being who has availed himself of thy resuscitating power, quickening
the life force through the garment of habitation, resurrecting the dormant
powers of God through the lifestream, completing the mission of the individual
soul and ascending by reason of the Presence of thy Activity into a God-free
estate!
We dedicate this Springtime issue of "The Bridge
to Freedom" to you, Cosmic Spirit of Resurrection and to every Intelligence who
has magnetized your Presence and become the Resurrected Christ, "First fruits of
them that slept!" Let all mankind, slumbering yet in garments of decay, bound
round by chains of human limitation, awaken to thy Presence. Let them invoke thy
merciful Presence through the life misqualified by conscious or unconscious use
of the creative centers of thought and feeling and become the Resurrected
Presence also!
To our Lord Maha Chohan, whose currents bring
the resurrection through the Nature Kingdom, to our Beloved Brothers Jesus and
Serapis Bey, to the Blessed Mother Mary, all of whom manifested the Powers of
Resurrection, we send our love. To the great Archangel Gabriel whose service to
life is to guard, direct and expand the Resurrection Flame throughout the Earth,
we send our love. To every dear son and daughter of Earth seeking redemption,
freedom from limitation, disease, disintegration, inharmony and the grief and
pain of so-called death, we give the full power of the Resurrection Flame!
Accept it! Use it! Make it a practical, workable activity in your life and
world! Easter greetings and blessings in the name of our Beloved Jesus!

BELOVED HILARION'S
RETREAT OVER ISLAND OF CRETE
The Temple of Cosmic Truth is located in the
Etheric Realms over the beautiful Island of Crete which lies at the foot of the
Greek Peninsula. This is the Temple wherein the full gathered momentum of Truth
from the heart of the Central Intelligence is focused for distribution through
any and every channel opened to its Rays.
The great universal Cosmic Law requires that
some intelligence magnetize and draw down the virtues of the Godhead for the
blessings of those who cannot rise to the full height wherein 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 physical Sun itself 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 forming the conductors of the gifts
of the physical Sun into the world of man.
One of the virtues of the Godhead which has been
so magnetized is Truth. The Being known as Pallas Athena, Spiritual Complement
of our Lord Maha Chohan, became such a magnetizing focus and the essence of
Truth established through her contemplation of Cosmic Truth forms the core and
center of the Flame of Truth. Around this Flame has been built the Temple of
Truth in the Etheric Realm.
Every Intelligence who has endeavored to
conceive the Truth about any subject which would bring illumination to mankind,
has been the beneficiary of this gather momentum of Truth. Whatever branch of
life's expression-governmental, educational, humanitarian, artistic, scientific,
religious or ceremonial-has had devotees in the world of form (men and women who
are consecrated to developing the highest type of service through these
channels). These devotees who earnestly desire to know Truth become the specific
chelas (students) of the Brotherhood at Crete. God-free Beings direct the Rays
and Flame of Inspiration to embodied lifestreams. The particular guidance,
instruction, ideas and expressions of Truth flow over these Rays into the
receptive consciousness of the pioneers in the world of form who are endeavoring
to assist in the progress of the race, working along the seven channels of
life's expression.
Even as the physical Sun is equally available to
all men but its potent life-giving vitality is absorbed in varying amounts
according to the capacity of the individual to receive, so does the gift of
Truth (focused within the Temple at Crete) flow forth impersonally. Man may have
access to it, draw its illumination through the outer consciousness, or remain
complacent in the erroneous concepts of previous generations.
There are always the
few
who refuse to accept as ultimate Truth the theories, dogmas and prescribed
courses of procedure, especially when these concepts limit the race. These
few
are usually persecuted by the "mass mind" which
violently opposes all change-even for the better. Through these
few
the ignorance, bias, limitations and shadows of
the race are being gradually eliminated. More and more Truth is being proven
beyond the power of those who wish to dispute or confute the findings of the
consecrated members of the race. For instance, the individuals who did not
believe in "gas light" as the ultimate of illumination have given the world the
benefit of electricity. We are now on the borders of a new frontier-a spiritual
revelation-which will show mankind how to consciously remove the limitations and
distresses that have plagued them through the ages; a way to contact the
God-free Intelligences who govern this System. Now there is also coming forth a
method by which the human veil may be dissolved (which veil has closed out the
glory of these Beings from mankind's daily association) and whereby a conscious
cooperation between the God-free and the aspiring may be effected. Finally,
there is to be the establishment of a Brotherhood of Masters, Angels and men
intent upon fulfilling God's will for the planet Earth and its evolutions.
To all those so interested, the Flame of Truth
is available. Each man is recommended to raise his individual consciousness-which is his Holy
Grail-to the Cosmic Flame of Truth and
wait
for the illuminating currents of that Flame to
return and disperse the shadows in his own consciousness. That Flame will
respond. It is scientific Law that man magnetizes exactly what he wills through
contemplation in thought and feeling. Then, use your faculty of concentrated
attention and invoke Truth. As the shadows of human concepts are dissolved from
your consciousness, the problems which appear in your world as limitation,
disease, inharmony and even death itself, will disappear from your screen of
life.
It is not enough to
admire
the virtues of the Gods. Every chela must
become
the embodiment of
those virtues. In this thirty day period, I challenge you to accept the Presence
of Truth, resisting it not by personal concepts, and see what she will bring
into your worlds!

Some of us are so occupied in listening to our own marching song that we do not
hear the songs of those who march beside us.
