We, The Spiritual Hierarchy, send our gratitude and love for his Comforting Presence which enfolds the sweet Planet Earth and all evolutions in, through and around it, which require GOD COMFORT! 

We thank him, too, for his wise and kindly counsel given to us so freely, when we ask for it! 

From the children of God, not yet even aware of his Presence, we offer their gratitude for their unseen and unknown Protector and Guide. From the elemental kingdom, which obeys so promptly his directions, we offer their thanksgiving for his understanding Heart!

From the earnest chelas, desiring to be a Comforting Presence to all imprisoned life, we direct consciously to the Beloved Maha Chohan, the Flame of Gratitude from their Holy Christ Selves for his willingness to help each such chela to learn the Cosmic Law of Love which will set them eternally free from limitation of every kind, when used in daily application, according to their present understanding. 

Beloved Maha Chohan! We love you!

The Homes and Retreats of the Masters of Wisdom

TEMPLE OF COMFORT, CEYLON

September 15th through October 14th, 1958 

Located in Ceylon, the beautiful Island south of India, is the Focus of the Temple of Comfort, presided over in dignity graciousness by the beloved Maha Chohan, Supervisor of the Seven Chohans and Representative of the Holy Spirit to this Earth. 

So humble and unostentatious is he, that many of his servants do not know that he is an Ascended Being but merely love him for his kindliness and courtesy. He maintains, for appearance sake, on the landed surface of the Island, a very beautiful tea plantation, and to this plantation come often, the dignitaries of many countries of the Occident to counsel with him about the affairs, spiritual and secular of their respective nations. He always greets them warmly and gives what counsel they choose to receive, accept and apply. They return, then, to their countries enlightened and comforted by their Host, most of them totally unaware of the actual Being who has royally and wisely entertained and counselled with them. 

Under the surface plantation is the Temple of Comfort itself, hidden from the eyes of the curious and protected against intrusion by any and all peoples who are not yet worthy of entering into and becoming an active part of the teachings and practices of the Holy Comforter and his Disciples. Thus, always, the true Gurus serve... never giving cognizance to "position nor place" in so far as the world honors it, but always eager and desirous of giving assistance to any dear chela who has placed his or her feet upon the Spiritual Path which leads to enlightenment and ultimate Spiritual Freedom. There is no outer means by which any unascended being can force him or herself into the. Ascended Masters' Presence or into their glorious Retreats, except by individual preparation of their souls, in true humility, and by having within themselves the motivating power of pure Divine Love for all life and an honest purpose, not a surface desire, to help in the program of the evolutions presently using the Earth for a Planetary Home. The beautiful Silent Watchers of each locality, with the inner vision, see and know the motivating power behind all such desires to sit at the feet of the Ascended Masters. As surely as the Sun rises each morning and sets in silent but glorious splendor each evening, when any individual's aura and inner bodies indicate that they are ready for individual teaching, instruction and knowledge at the feet of the Ascended Masters, means are provided instantly for such Assistance to be given them. 

Therefore, it behooves each and every dear chela to prepare himself or herself to become worthy to be chosen by the Ascended Host as personal pupils. As most of the dear chelas know, the beloved Maha Chohan, until very recently, has not accepted personal pupils, leaving the instruction and preparation of their four lower bodies and the purification of their souls to the Seven Chohans, who so lovingly and so reverently serve with him and under his Supervision. In the New Cycle, however, he has opened the doors of his own Sacred Retreat to the worthy chelas of his Chohans and has offered in his gracious Love, to teach any of them who so desire, to be a Comforting Presence to all life, as they return to their own spheres of influence. He has, further, applied to the Karmic Board, for the privilege of revealing to the earnest chelas many other Ascended Master Foci, so that the beloved chelas might participate .in the services of the Great White Brotherhood while those services (connected with the progress and evolution of the Planet Earth) are currently active. 

We, who prostrate ourselves before this Holy Presence, cannot emphasize enough how privileged are the chelas of today in having access to the Princely Presence of the Beloved Maha Chohan as well as opportunity, during this thirty day period, of entering his Temple of Comfort and learning from him and his Spiritual Court the Way to become Comforting Presences while yet unascended. Take not lightly this magnificent dispensation, beloved, but avail yourselves of the opportunity, during each thirty day period, to enter the Homes and Retreats of the Ascended Host of Light. And particularly to visit the Maha Chohan, write your dear names upon the scroll at the door of the Flame Room, wherein the Comfort Flame rises, expands and enfolds the Earth as one who desires to be comforted and then to be a Comforting Presence to all imprisoned life! Heretofore, the names of very few unascended chelas were so written, as hopeful applicants for this privilege of entering the Temple of Comfort, and of these few, fewer still were accepted as worthy of the personal attention of the Beloved Maha Chohan, himself. Like unto Lord Gautama, his Service and that of his Brotherhood, has been to impersonally radiate comfort to life, and the fact that he is willing, eager and desirous of accepting pupils at this time is very significant of the Cosmic Hour! 

Even we, the Chohans, who serve under him, seldom called upon his priceless energy for counsel, endeavoring to spare his Precious Energy for Cosmic Service. In this present Dispensation, we are privileged to counsel with more often, but we never lose our sense of reverence and gratitude for even a moment of his precious attention! 

Our beloved Maha Chohan has chosen, through his own free-will, to invite the earnest and worthy chelas to his Temple of Comfort, to enter into the Sacred Flame Room, to counsel with him, to receive from him greater understanding by which each such a privileged one can intensify, with greater wisdom, his or her constructive activities on any one of the Seven Rays to which such a chela, by nature, belongs! For this courtesy, we are so grateful, as it greatly assists us in helping our chelas to develop their own latent talents, gifts, powers and services in the world of form. Through projected consciousness, either in sleep or in times of contemplation, the chelas are brought safely to the Temple of Comfort, enjoy its beauty and the gracious hospitality of the Maha Chohan and then when they have received all that their own dear consciousnesses can assimilate they are, as carefully and kindly, returned to their physical vehicles to activate the teachings given, the radiation absorbed, the blessings received. 

Do not, ever, take for granted this blessing. Accept it, always, as a particular gift of grace from the loving Presence of the Maha Chohan, remind your outer consciousness often of the privilege that is yours and, always, enter his Temple of Comfort humbly, reverently and gratefully, as we do. Then we shall be happy, as your Sponsors and Gurus, to present you to him that he may see the Light expanding within you and know that the Dispensation which he secured for you and the energy he has invested in you is truly worthy of his Kindliness and Graciousness in accepting you, each one, as a chela of his own! Thank you and God keep you always cognizant of the privilege that is yours today!
