To the Beloved Maha Chohan, Holy Spirit for this Earth: 

Dearly Beloved Holy Comforter! In the name of the Spiritual Hierarchy and particularly your seven sons, we greet you as the mankind of Earth honor again the Feast of Whitsuntide (June 6). 

Truly is this Spiritual Day a time for thanksgiving. It shows how men of good will, desiring to unite their individual consciousness with the Divine Will, can be joined to the Cosmic Spirit of Truth and have their own talents, capacities, powers and consciousness, enriched, amplified, and energized by the spiritual transfusion of your Presence. 

Many men and women today look to you, Beloved One. Many are gathered together in the "upper chambers" of consciousness invoking the Presence of Truth and the Presence of Comfort. To each and every such one you come. 

Those of us who have shared your precious gift of life, and who know you, bring to you our love! On behalf of the men and women whom you have so graciously honored with your loving counsel, I offer you the works of their hands, the prayers of their hearts, and the consecrated endeavors of their souls, particularly this blessed month of June 1954!

The Homes and Retreats of the Masters of Wisdom

ROCKY MOUNTAIN RETREAT

June 15th through July 14th, 1954

In the heart of the Rocky Mountains in the western part of the United States of America, is an ancient focus of light dedicated primarily to the Cosmic Activity of radiation, expansion, and actual precipitation of the Will of God into the world of form. It is the heart center of spiritual centrifugal force as the Temple at Luxor is the heart center of spiritual centripetal force for the planet and its peoples. From the Rocky Mountain Retreat proceed the directions, grants of energy, and spiritual missionaries to take the Word of God, his purpose and design into the world of form. From the Temple at Luxor, mankind who have completed their work in the vineyard, return Home to the heart of Heaven. 

Twice each year, the entire Great White Brotherhood and all students of life who have earned the right and privilege of conscious cooperation with the Ascended Host of Light meet in the Rocky Mountain Retreat for the express purpose of bringing before the Lords of Karma and the Assembled Brotherhood plans, designs, petitions and visions which they hope to externalize for the blessings of the race. 

At this time, unascended beings are also privileged to offer suggestions of an impersonal nature which they have received in contemplation and prayer. If these suggestions have merit, they are often adopted by the Great White Brotherhood and the individual making such a suggestion is given more than ordinary assistance in his attempts to externalize a practical manifestation of his design, his vision, his dream to help the race. 

The Spiritual Hierarchy, which is made up of Ascended Beings who have consciously offered to renounce the joy of freedom of service at Higher Levels in order to help mankind to finish its evolutionary journey, are all specialists along some particular line of spiritual service and endeavor. The various Retreats throughout the world in like manner pour forth a specific radiation of spiritual nourishment through their Spheres of Influence and attract through the magnetic power of similar interests lifestreams who wish to serve life along particular lines of developed talents. These Retreats offer the chelas as well as Initiates opportunities to study under Master Intelligences who will develop the greatest possible latent virtues and talents along specific lines. Many good men and women visit these Retreats while their physical bodies sleep and are a part of the life, endeavors and service of such Retreats to a far greater extent than the outer consciousness is yet aware. 

At the half yearly Council, each Retreat and each Master Hierarch gathers together all the plans, hopes, visions, suggestions and designs of the members of his Retreat and from these develops a suitable presentation to offer before the Karmic Board and the Assembly as the possible service and contribution of that Retreat and its Members for the next six months. 

The beloved students now might take example from this Spiritual Pattern and through their group activities offer some specific service to the Karmic Board as their contribution for the next six months. Such offer would meet with great interest and bring great added power through such a dedicated group. When a specific service is found meritorious, the Karmic Board gives additional qualified energy and power to the Individual or Group sponsoring such a petition or design. This energy doubles or trebles the energy of the sponsoring group and comes from a spiritual stockpile of Cosmic Light which is dispensed according to the wisdom of the Cosmic Law, just as a trust fund would be dispensed by a committee to a worthy cause. 

From the date of opening of the Rocky Mountain Retreat, (June 15) the Beloved Representatives of the Retreats and Activities dedicated to serving life begin to gather. They give into the keeping of a Brother of the Retreat the petitions and plans which they are to sponsor. These are placed on a great bulletin board and all individuals who are drawn by the magnetic power of the Retreat into its vicinity may study these plans. If they so choose they may then offer to give of their own energies to draw a grant of spiritual freedom to allow the beloved Sponsor to act according to his design in the world of form. 

The Karmic Board hold audience from the 30th day of June, listen to all the plans and designs for the coming cycle of six months, and after the hearing is completed, they counsel together and the permissions and grants of energy are given to Those whose Cause has been found worthy and whose Cause has been backed by the interest and support of members of the human race un­ascended. Many Brothers have presented the same petition for over 10,000 years and not having found one sponsor among unascended mankind, have had their petition refused for lack of interest and support from those who such a Cause would benefit. 

The focus of the Flame from this Retreat is a beautiful Chinese green in color, taking the form of a tulip. The Activity which becomes the personal heritage of all who absorb its radiation is an intensification of the power of precipitation and externalization of abstract ideas as manifest, practical, physical forms.
