To the
All blessings upon your accomplishment of a lifetime of Victory, an
example of Mastery through a physical body and a sacrifice that entailed so many
thousands of lives of preparation that the human mind cannot cognize such love!
To the Beloved Mary, your blessed Mother, for her capacity,
willingness, determination and love which enabled her to hold the IMMACULATE
CONCEPT for you and those who volunteered to serve with you in the Christian
Dispensation, our gratitude and love!
To the Beloved Joseph (now known as our Brother Saint Germain) for
his patience... his selfless guardianship... his life of works rather than words
in fulfilling the Cosmic Role for which he volunteered, the blessings of Heaven
we invoke!
To all those, Ascended and unascended, who participated in the
presentation of the Christian dispensation to mankind, we invoke the blessings
of the Most High!
To the Angelic Host, Whose Guardian Presence hovered ever about the
Holy Family, we are so grateful! Let the time soon come when all men shall
acknowledge, accept and serve consciously with the Angelic Host as the God of
all intends!
To the very Spirit of Christmas, whose individuality has grown with
each successive celebration of the Christ-mass, we send our greetings and ask
that her Spirit not only continue to live but physically manifest as well in the
lives of all mankind!
Finally, to the gentle readers, whose interest and love have helped
us to sustain this Endeavor, we do decree for you a Holy, Blessed, Illumined
Christmas Season!

The Homes and Retreats of The Masters of Wisdom
ROCKY MOUNTAIN RETREAT, WYOMING, U.S.A.
December 15th,
1956 through January 14th, 1957
In the beautiful Rocky Mountains in Wyoming, U.S.A., there is
located the magnificent focus of the Temple of Precipitation into which, twice
each year, are drawn the Cosmic Beings, Ascended Masters, Angels and
Representatives from the Elemental Kingdom, as well as certain privileged chelas
(who come in consciousness while their bodies sleep) all of whom counsel
together to find ways and means of combining their energies, talents, gifts and
powers for the blessing and forwarding of the progress of our dear Earth and its
attendant evolutions.
After a brief spiritual "holi-day" at Shamballa where the sheaves
(accomplishments) of the year are reverently presented before the Lord of the
World, the Hierarchs of the Retreats and those particularly interested in the
evolution of the Earth and its attendant life, prepare to enter the sacred walls
of the Rocky Mountain Retreat. There, before the Great Karmic Board and the
assembled Great White Brotherhood, they offer those ideas and plans which they
feel could be of benefit to such evolutions in the coming year (1957).
As the interest of the chelas in these Half-yearly Counsels has
increased and greater numbers of unascended beings are attending these glorious
Conclaves (in their finer bodies during sleep), the original main Council
Chamber has been augmented by seven lesser Chambers which are used at these
Conclaves for the hospitality and comfort of the guests.
Long before the actual presentation of the petitions to the Karmic
Board takes place, the Hierarchs of the Retreats, the Messengers from other
Systems, the Representatives from the Angelic and Elemental Kingdoms, as well as
many of unascended mankind (in their finer bodies) are drawn toward this great
focus of the Ascended Master Lanto. Wherever necessary, these are provided with
individual Council Rooms. The Scroll which these guests bring containing their
petitions and ideas is then recorded by the Angel of Record and approved or
disapproved, according to the directions of his Superiors. If approved, this
Scroll is then posted upon the door of the Council Chamber to which its author
has been assigned. Here posted on the door of his room, his petition is in full
view for the perusal of all the visitors to the Retreat and, if its contents
stir an interest in the self-conscious intelligence so perusing it, that one is
invited into that Council Chamber and given audience by the Hierarch who is
there (or his Representative). This one willingly explains the further details
of the Divine Plan. Then, such an individual (Ascended or otherwise) may sign
his or her name to the Scroll, thus offering his energies from whatever realm in
which he abides, to help fulfill the Divine Plan in the coming year. All so
signing will be called by the Hierarch at the time of the presentation of the
petition to the Karmic Board and that one, then, will have to be willing to
accept responsibility for helping to fulfill this Plan.
During this time, there is a period of general counselling together
and many a good constructive individual whose energies, talents, gifts and
powers could not, alone, measure up to manifesting the fulfillment of the
ambitious plans he has presented for approval, is taken "under the wing" of some
Sponsor (Cosmic Being, Ascended Master or Angel). This one either incorporates
the sincere student's Plan into that of his own or will offer to help that
student to fulfill his own Plan.
At this Conclave, the seven Council Chambers (each in the color of
one of the Seven Rays of this System) are opened wide. The light golden-mesh
curtains on which are depicted the Archangel and Archaii of each Ray are so
drawn back that the beautiful likeness of the Archangel and Archaii still
remains visible.
The Central Chamber is equally visible to the seven antechambers,
with the Altar in the center around the base of which is depicted in delicate
frieze the epic life of man upon the Earth. The first of these panels shows, of
course, what part of the Divine Plan the Rocky Mountain Retreat actually played
in Earth's evolution, as the Beloved Archangel Michael, the Guardian Spirits and
the Holy Innocents first touched the Earth at this spiritually strategic spot.
The Altar of the Central Chamber is circular and a low golden screen
rising above the frescoed base has allowed the Brothers and Sisters of
Ceremonial to weave into the screen the beautiful green ivy and the golden Lotus
of China, Burma and other parts of the Eastern Hemisphere.
Upon the Altar itself burns the concentrated Flame of Precipitation,
a golden Flame rising from the center of a base of bright Chinese green. Of
course, at the time of the actual expansion of this Flame (during the breathing
activities of Transmission night and thereafter for that thirty-day period) this
Flame will extend North, East, South and West until it covers the planet round.
For the speaker who will present his petition to the Karmic Board,
there is provided a raised dais made of a beautiful golden substance, studded
with yellow diamonds. At either side of the Flame of Precipitation there is
space allowed for the Beloved Lanto and one of the Sponsors for the year of 1957
(just which one has not yet been announced).
In the atmosphere above the Teton, the amphitheatre of green
jade-like substance will be created by the Builders of Form and the Angels of
Ceremonial by December 15th. Above the amphitheatre, in the inner atmosphere,
the Seven Throne Chairs for the Great Karmic Board will also be created this
year of the Chinese green substance, studded with pure white diamonds, in honor
of the new Sponsors for 1957, representing TRUTH and PURITY to the Earth. It is
not known as yet exactly when the Great Karmic Board will all come together at
the Conclave, but we are told that from December 15th on, at least one such
Member will be available to any and all who desire counsel before the actual
Conclave formalities occur.
As there are many descriptions of this glorious Retreat in your
earlier "Bridges", "Bulletins" and the "Transmission of the Flame" books, we
refer you to these for further and more detailed descriptions. Just as when one
describes a beautiful mountain scene or a lovely Temple like the Taj Mahal,
there are bound to be repetitions in further descriptions. Sometimes, in
describing the Ascended Masters' Homes and Retreats, the students fall into the
erroneous human thought that something constantly new to the intellectual
consciousness is necessary to their spiritual progress. Be kindly reminded that
the descriptions of the Retreats are only a very small portion of the service
rendered in allowing the students opportunity to visit those Retreats in
consciousness. Thus, the students may absorb the feeling, reality and
consciousness of those who have magnetized, sustained and radiated forth certain
powers and gifts for the blessings of those who choose to avail themselves of
these gifts while the Retreat is open. A "storybook" is lovely for the relaxing
of a tired mind but the main object of opening the Retreats and inviting the
consciousness of the students thereto (revealing a small portion of the
activities taking place within them) is to increase the spiritual wealth of the
individual life-stream as well as all the evolutions which are using the planet
Earth as their home.
Hoping to greet you nightly (or by the day, if you choose to get
still enough and come in consciousness) at Lanto's Rocky Mountain Retreat, "I
AM"
Sincerely your
Friend
EL MORYA
