To the Beloved God and Goddess Meru,

Guardians of the Flame of God-inspired Illumination:

We thank you for your glorious Golden Flame which flows so freely from your hearts as a constant benediction into the outer consciousness of those of the people of Earth who are willing to receive it and who consciously prepare themselves so to do. 

To you Beloved Ones, we send GREETINGS, BLESSINGS and LOVE from the hearts of the Spiritual Brotherhood who are endeavoring to serve the Earth and her attendant evolutions through the loving co-operation of unascended beings who are interested enough in our Cause to be willing to serve it. Through self-conscious endeavor, such chelas prepare themselves to receive your gift of Illumination with the full, conscious knowledge that such Illumination will not only shed its blazing light upon their individual Paths, but will also reveal to them whatever human shadows are still abiding in their worlds. Such imperfections, if allowed to remain, will delay their progress toward personal and collective self-mastery. 

To our dear chelas who desire the assistance of this Flame, we say:

Particularly during this thirty-day period, open the doors and windows of your souls to these Cosmic Rays of Illumination. Honestly ask that Flame to reveal to you TRUTH concerning the self-created imperfection which yet abides in your worlds; then make earnest and persistent application with the Violet Fire to purify all that is not of God. 

The Golden Plume of the Immortal Three-fold Flame within your hearts IS the Illumination Flame and I decree that this Golden Flame shall now ARISE and EXPAND through the brain structure and four lower bodies of everyone desiring to do God's Holy Will on Earth. Let this Flame fully awaken the dormant Christus within you and allow it to express the fullness of itself through your present personality. This will allow your own Beloved "I AM" Presence to practically contribute to the permanent Golden Age that which you alone can give. So be it!

The Homes and Retreats of The Masters of Wisdom

Temple of Illumination, near Lake Titicaca, South America

August 15th Through September 14th, 1958 

The Temple of Illumination, situated high in the Andes Mountains in South America, is one of the two greatest Foci of Light upon the Planet Earth today. As most of our gentle readers know, here is focused the feminine Ray, sustained and protected by the Beloved God and Goddess Meru; whereas the masculine Ray (heretofore so active for so long) is focused in the Himalaya Mountains, sustained and protected there by the Beloved God Himalaya. 

These two Rays form the actual axis of the Earth, entering the body of the Earth itself at the points of their respective Foci. These Rays are that around which the Seven Mighty Elohim of Creation built the Planet Earth in the beginning and, where these two Rays meet in the center of the Earth, there is located the Planetary Immortal Victorious Three-fold Flame of Eternal Truth. This is the actual centripetal force within the Earth which, by the magnetic power of Divine Love, holds together the elements which make up the Earth and holds all her attendant evolutions within her, on her surface or in her atmosphere. 

For many centuries, the masculine Ray was the predominant Foci of Wisdom upon the Earth, drawing to it many earnest and sincere seekers after Truth. To reach this Retreat in those days, the chela had to travel through many dangerous mountain passes in the Himalaya Range. Within their hearts, such earnest ones had the sincere hope that in this Retreat they would find a Teacher (Ascended or unascended) who could and would help them to find that which would set them free from all human limitation. Now, as the Earth is entering the Permanent Golden Age under the direction of the Ascended Master Saint Germain, the feminine Ray in the Andes Mountains becomes the predominant Foci for such Wisdom. Gradually, it will be more and more noticeable that the spiritual aspirants will turn their attention to the Andes Mountains rather than to the Himalayas. Thus will be born the new spiritual impetus, coupled with the physical presence of such aspirants as are able and worthy to be the spiritual pioneers to create again an actual Garden of Eden in South America. Here the Beloved Great Divine Director soon will be able to allow the members of the Seventh Root Race to embody (that race of which he is the Manu, i.e., Spiritual Guide, Teacher and Protector) and, eventually, as this perfection so created here expands, it will externalize the full perfection of Heaven on Earth. 

In the New Era, through the avenue of developed, protected and guided projected consciousness, it is not required of our chelas today to make the arduous physical journey to South America in order to receive the practical blessings of this Retreat. With the expenditure of a little of their personal energies, coupled with the concentration of their attention upon the Temple of Illumination, the chelas are now able to visit this Holy Retreat IN CONSCIOUSNESS, sit at the feet of the God and Goddess Meru receive there the priceless instruction from these Divine Beings and, returning into their own spheres of influence, expand God-illumination to others through their own auras. 

Ponder in gratitude upon the Great Dispensation which allows you to visit this Foci of God-illumination and remember daily to give thanks to the Beloved Maha Chohan who, through his own personal intervention on behalf of the recalcitrant human race, secured permission from the great Cosmic Law to allow certain unascended beings who are vitally interested in serving our Cause to enter these glorious Ascended Master Retreats through projected consciousness. 

Like so many of the Ascended Master Retreats of Light, the Foci of the God and Goddess Meru is located high in the Andes Mountains, near Lake Titicaca. This isolated location is chosen so that the idly curious travelers, as well as the spiritual dilettantes, cannot intrude upon its Holy Presence. Thus, the Brotherhood of Illumination continue to radiate forth the Illumination Flame for the benefaction of the entire human race, undisturbed by the violent and uncontrolled emotions of the people who use the Earth as a temporary schoolroom wherein they learn the self-conscious control of energy and vibration. 

Remember always that, by the NATURAL magnetic power of their Divine Love and Perfection, the Ascended Host always draw the consciousness of mankind UPWARD toward their heights. However, true God-illumination NEVER at any time, inflates the egotism of the outer personality but, conversely, creates in the chela a consciousness of ever-increasing humility toward their own individualized "I AM" Presence and the great Universal "I AM" Presence, as well as the Divine Beings who serve it, assisting it in its endeavors to bring the redemption of misqualified energies to Earth's evolutions. 

The God and Goddess Meru, their entire Brotherhood of Illumination, as well as our Beloved Lady Master Nada (for many centuries one of their well-known Messengers), lovingly welcome into their Retreat all sincere chelas who are deeply interested in the impersonal development of the greater and greater God-illumination which such chelas may then use to serve their fellowmen such chelas not being interested in just the accretion of personal knowledge. Here these chelas are carefully instructed, guided and protected in their earnest endeavors to develop from within themselves the Illumination Flame with its attendant virtues of Discrimination, Discretion, Diplomacy and Wisdom, for the greatest possible benefaction of the entire human race. 

The Illumination Flame is COMPLETELY IMPERSONAL! Its service is to bring the perfection of the Light of God into the outer consciousness of mankind and it acts like the physical Sun in this respect shining upon the just and unjust alike. As we have told you often, every blessing given to a chela by the Spiritual. Hierarchy requires, in balance, some expansion of God's Divine Plan of Perfection to be made manifest through the conscious endeavors of the chela so blessed. This is Cosmic Law, under which we ALL serve! 

A period of personal introspection and honest measurement by each aspirant into the MOTIVE BEHIND his or her desire to acquire more wisdom (which is the RIGHT USE OF KNOWLEDGE) will bear fruit in the development of an honesty of purpose which precedes the release of MORE spiritual blessings. Therefore, I say to those beloved chelas who desire to secure more illumination upon their paths PREPARE YOURSELVES IN HUMILITY to enter into the Temple of Illumination! 

If you go at night while your physical body sleeps, ask the Beloved Lady Master Leto to help you remember clearly in your brain consciousness where you were and what you learned there. Beloved Leto is so well prepared to render this service and She is so joyously willing to give it, too. Then as you return in consciousness to your physical form in the morning, upon awakening EXPECT to remember and wisely endeavor to use the instruction received. Thus do you qualify to receive more and more of the blessings of God-illumination. I am sincerely hoping for and really expecting this loving cooperation from each of you. 

The Temple of Illumination itself has been described in detail in "The Bridge", in previous issues listed below. 

Yours in the Cosmic Redemption of the Earth and its evolutions
