The Homes and Retreats of the Masters of Wisdom
HILARION'S RETREAT ON THE ISLAND OF
CRETE
October 15th
Through November 14th, 1953
Basking in the warm sunshine on the lovely island of Crete, which lies
gracefully on the blue breast of the Mediterranean Sea, is the Retreat of the
Master of the Fifth Ray, known as Hilarion, Chohan of Scientific Development,
and Guardian of the many lifestreams belonging to the earth's evolution who have
styled themselves as "materialists," "agnostics" and "skeptics" with relation to
the belief and faith in spiritual survival, Divine intercession and God
assistance upon the journey through the world of form.
The endeavors of Hilarion and his Brotherhood are to draw the interest and
cooperation of the scientifically minded lifestreams of earth into the exact
science applied by the Creator of this Universe and his messengers and workers
in the Kingdom whereby form is created and sustained and order is maintained
throughout each galaxy, universe and planet belonging to the Divine Plan of God
himself. In previous lives, Hilarion was known as
Jamblichus, the Neoplatonic
writer, and Saint Paul, the Christian Apostle and follower of the Master, Jesus.
This Brotherhood is also the self-appointed Guardian Presence of those blessed
children of earth who have devoted their lives to furthering the cause of
scientific treatment and healing of disease, the doctors, nurses and
missionaries, and those interested in research to determine the physical causes
of the afflictions to which mankind are heir, as well as the vast army of
unknown heroes and heroines who work in the research laboratories and privately
within their own homes to develop and perfect inventions, formulas, and the many
improvements which, added to the present developed comforts and conveniences of
mankind, will hasten the freedom of the race from limitations and privations of
every kind and description. The minds and hearts of the bold explorers into the
realm of the unknown are the recipients of the developed perfection of this
Brotherhood, and many an earnest lifestream who has endeavored in vain to draw
forth the secrets of nature has been the beneficiary of the concentrated rays of
energy from a Member of this Brotherhood who chose to endow such an incarnate
lifestream with the privilege of presenting that blessing to his fellowmen.
The Retreat of the Brotherhood pulsates in the ethers over the Island of Crete.
In design, it is like the early Grecian Temples many-columned, gracefully
carved, and of extremely large proportions. It does not look unlike the
beautiful Parthenon, erected so long ago to the Beloved Pallas Athena, the
Goddess of Truth, who is the Cosmic Patroness of this Brotherhood and whose
devotees are desirous of finding and externalizing Truth for the blessing and
illumination of all mankind.
The robes of the Brothers are pure white, and embroidered over the heart is a
Lighted Lamp, similar to the old fashioned oil cruet, which symbol was
incorporated into the activities of the Brotherhood by Diogenes, 412 B. C., at
which time he was among the active members of this Order. This symbol signifies,
of course, the relentless search for Truth which is the vow and pledge taken by
all members of this Brotherhood.
Within this Retreat is one of the most ancient schoolrooms dedicated to the
training of chelas in the magnetizing of the Universal Life, and the creating of
consciously directed rays by which form may either be created or dissolved,
according to the requirement of the God Intelligences so invoking and directing
them.
Here is taught the mathematical precision by which suns, planets and individual
atoms are created and sustained. Here also, the lifestreams are shown how, by
controlled thought and feeling, the speed of atoms, the motion of the electrons
and the duration of form itself, may be governed. Here precipitation and
etherialization become the developed faculty of the Brother or Sister desiring
such a gift for the use of the forwarding of the progress of the race.
In this Retreat is a great Audience Chamber where the Master Jesus and
Representatives of the great Religions that have blessed the race are given the
opportunity of addressing those many life-streams who either do not believe in
God, as such, or who through disillusionment and bitter experiences with
teachers of religion in whom they trusted, not wisely but too well, have lost
their faith and conviction in the Supreme Intelligence, the continuity of
consciousness of the individual unit, and the important part that each such
self-conscious intelligence is to play in the Great Eternal Scheme of Things.s
suggested that, if the gentle reader knows any individuals presently in
embodiment or who have passed from this earth plane in confusion of spirit, they
petition the Beloved Hilarion to seek out such a soul and draw that soul into
the aura and Presence of his Retreat and give back to such a one Faith, Hope and
Belief built on certainty as to the Presence and All Power of the Father-Mother
God! Further, if the invocation to this Brotherhood of Truth could be made on
behalf of the blessed doctors, nurses and individuals whose lives are dedicated
to alleviating the distress of mankind, a member of this Brotherhood will
conduct such a one to the sanctified Aura of this Retreat and bless him or her
according to his particular requirement and according to the particular channel
of service to Life.
