To the Beloved Goddess of Truth:

GREETINGS! It is time, now, that mankind stands forth boldly and invokes the Presence of Truth! Too long have they been content to accept from the consciousness of other embodied spirits, concepts that represent the clouded vision of other fellow-prisoners upon the Path. Now, the wise, the bold, the courageous invoke the God-free from above, to reveal the Truth by which They attained. Thus, we speak, in the name of the mankind of Earth to you, Beloved Pallas Athena, Beloved Hilarion, and the Brotherhood of Truth, invoking your Presence, your revelations, your instructions, your counsel, your methods of invocation, contemplation and application by which you attained your Freedom. 

The pages of this Journal are offered to you, freely, to use for this service to life! Write upon them as your hearts' desire, and we shall endeavor to spread your words across the face of this planet, in the language of every man, so all consciousness may share your Wisdom and become your Ascended Christ Consciousness in themselves. So be it!

BELOVED HILARION'S RETREAT

OVER THE ISLAND OF CRETE

July 15th through August 14th, 1954 

In the Etheric Realm over the beautiful Island of Crete, which lies on the blue bosom of the Mediterranean Sea, pulsates the Temple of Truth, focus of the Chohan of the Fifth Ray, and the Brotherhood of Truth who serve with him in this particular branch of the Spiritual Hierarchy. 

Throughout many ages, great spiritual foci have been established from time to time on the surface of this Earth to enshrine Cosmic Virtues, whose spiritual radiation nourished the consciousness and feelings of the people. Temples have been built, the inspiration for which was usually to be found in the Etheric Realms into which sensitive lifestreams tuned through contemplation and meditation. Thus, the mighty focus of Truth which had been designed and perfected at inner levels and which forms, even today, a meeting place for Great Intelligences who desire to magnetize and draw forth more of the Truth of Life from the Heart of God, formed the pattern for the Grecian masterpiece erected to Pallas Athena, the ruins of which still remain as a silent reminder of its glory today. (Parthenon 450 B.C.) 

Phidias (our Beloved Serapis) rendered a great service to mankind in bringing forth the almost exact replica of this Temple of Truth so that the outer consciousness of mankind might contemplate its perfection and tune into its service to life. 

At the present time, the Temple of Truth plays host to the Great Spiritual Teachers of many ages who have, from time to time, come forth and presented aspects of the One Law. These Illuminati teach the spiritual aspects of the Truth which they promulgated while in embodiment and many of their constituents and general followers are enabled, in the fuller freedom of the etheric body, while their physical garments sleep, to sit at the feet of these Masters of Wisdom and learn the true inner spiritual laws behind the various dogmas, creeds and faiths that presently engage the allegiance of men, women and children embodied today. 

The Great Archangel Raphael, who is the Angel of Consecration, also has the Focus of his Flame of Consecration in this Temple. Individuals who dedicate their lives to a specific beneficial service to mankind are blessed by this Beloved Archangel and the Beloved Chohan, Hilarion, before taking embodiment. The primal life which is magnetized by the soul into the heartbeat is consecrated to service by the Archangel Raphael. He pours the green Flame of Consecration through the electrons that flow from the White Fire Body as the Silver Cord into the physical heart. This life is, therefore, pre-destined to flow forth as channeled energy to bless the race. All through the course of incarnation, lifestreams who are so fore-sworn to vocations of service in fields of governmental affairs, education, artistic endeavors, ministry, medicine, missionary endeavors, etc. are guided, guarded and protected by either a member of the Angelic Kingdom of Lord Raphael's Legions or by a member of the Brotherhood of Truth under the direction of Beloved Hilarion. The promptings and pressures which require of such men and women that they fulfill their professions are ofttimes directed from these Legions of Angels and Brothers of Truth who stand behind the selfless men and women upon whom the race relies for assistance in all constructive channels of endeavor. 

The Beloved Hilarion, having experienced in his personal energies, the "self righteous" indignation that rises within a consciousness persuaded in itself that persecution is in order to right a wrong, upon his Ascension vowed to help all individuals with like erroneous complexes. (Saul of Tarsus, who later became the Christian, St. Paul). He has asked that you recommend to his protection all those whom you know, as well as all the many unknown lifestreams, who have no faith in spiritual survival, in order that he may assist them to a correct understanding of Truth. He further asks that you recommend to the Temple of Truth in your calls and contemplations all the individuals serving in the many professions that they may be blessed, encouraged, illumined and prospered in their endeavors to help mankind. For this, he says, is his reason for being!
