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.
