The Homes and Retreats of the Masters of Wisdom

THE RETREAT OF THE MASTER SAINT GERMAIN IN TRANSYLVANIA

May 15th through June 14th, 1954

In Central Europe, in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, stands the manor house of the Beloved Master whose Spiritual activities and services are to be the predominant pattern for the next two thousand year cycle, dedicated to the externalization of freedom in every activity of life. He is known as the Master, Saint Germain and his love for freedom stretches back through many ages. Looking upon the Presence of God himself, the Beloved Saint Germain desired to embody the nature of Freedom which, of course, is one of the manifold expressions of Divinity. For ages, he contemplated the Freedom Flame and drew it through his Consciousness, serving the Cause of Freedom in every embodiment which he took. In time, he drew around himself many students and chelas with like interest and these spiritual pioneers embodied in every nation on the face of the earth, leaving as their heritage at the dose of each embodiment, a little more freedom in some one or many of the lines of endeavor in which they served. Finally, under the directions of his own Great Master, Saint Germain was enabled to found the Spiritual house of Rakoczy as a focus for initiates and students who desired to embody freedom and carry it through their own lives into the world of men. The focus for this Spiritual home of freedom was established in Transylvania and here it remains to the present day. Lovers of freedom in every age have made their way thither, bathed in the concentrated radiation of this Retreat, and gone forth recharged with the necessary enthusiasm to kindle the fires of freedom wheresoever their individual life path should take them. 

Here was born the impetus and stimulus that drove Marco Polo east and Columbus west; the inspiration of Roger Bacon, the religious fervor of the middle century Saints, the Renaissance of art and music after the dark ages, the strength of the pilgrim fathers, the wave of patriotism that crowned the French and American Revolutions with political freedom; and the more mystic interests that activate the seekers for spiritual mastery through the Divine alchemy of love divine.
