The Temple of Cosmic Truth is located in the Etheric Realms over the beautiful Island of Crete which lies at the foot of the Greek Peninsula. This is the Temple wherein the full gathered momentum of Truth from the Heart of the Central Intelligence is focused for distribution through any and every channel opened to its Rays. 

The great universal Cosmic Law requires that some intelligence magnetize and draw down the Virtues of the Godhead for the blessings of those who cannot rise to the full height wherein their own consciousness can partake of these gifts; thus they find the nourishment which is provided by proximity to the radiating centers of such Virtues. 

Therefore, from the beginning of self-conscious life in every sphere, Intelligences have offered themselves as conductors for these Qualities, Virtues and Gifts. This is done in no more mysterious manner than the physical Sun itself steps down and radiates the light, heat, nourishment and fecundating power of the Central Sun which stands above it in the universal scheme of Creation, these rays forming the conductors of the Gifts of the physical Sun into the world of man. 

One of the Virtues of the Godhead which has been so magnetized is Truth. The being known as Pallas Athena, Spiritual Complement of Beloved Æolus, became such a magnetizing Focus and the Essence of Truth established through her contemplation of Cosmic Truth forms the core and center of the Flame of Truth. Around this Flame has been built the Temple of Truth in the Etheric Realm. 

Every Intelligence who has endeavored to conceive the Truth about any subject which would bring illumination to mankind, has been the beneficiary of this gathered momentum of Truth. Whatever branch of life's expression - governmental, educational, humanitarian, artistic, scientific, religious or ceremonial has had devotees in the world of form (men and women who are consecrated to developing the highest type of service through these channels). These devotees who earnestly desire to know Truth become the specific chelas of the Brotherhood at Crete. God-free Beings direct the Rays and Flame of Inspiration to embodied lifestreams. The particular guidance, instruction, ideas and expressions of Truth flow over these Rays into the receptive consciousness of the pioneers in the world of form who are endeavoring to assist in the progress of the race, working along the seven channels of life's expression. 

Even as the physical Sun is equally available to all men but its potent life-giving vitality is absorbed in varying amounts according to the capacity of the individual to receive, so does the Gift of Truth (focused within the Temple at Crete) flow forth impersonally. Man may have access to it, draw its illumination through the outer consciousness, or remain complacent in the erroneous concepts of previous generations. There are always the few who refuse to accept as ultimate Truth the theories, dogmas, and prescribed courses of procedure, especially when these concepts limit the race. These few are usually persecuted by the 'mass mind' which violently opposes change - oven for the better. Through these few the ignorance, bias, limitations and shadows of the race are being gradually eliminated. More and more Truth is being proven beyond the power of those who wish to dispute or confute the findings of the consecrated members of the race. 

From the Temple of Truth, similar in form to the beautiful Greek Parthenon, the Brothers and Sisters of Truth direct their concentrated green Rays into the receptive consciousness of all those who are attempting either to teach, realize or manifest Truth. 

Beautiful Pallas Athena, Goddess of Truth, is the Patroness of this Temple and Guardian Spirit of the Virtue of Absolute Truth. Beloved Hilarion is the Hierarch and his Service is to direct the Ray of Truth to, through and around all sincere individuals who are consecrated and dedicated to spreading the Message of the Spiritual Law, as they presently see it. 

As searchlights comb the heavens above an airport, so do the green Rays of Truth comb the atmosphere of Earth from this Focus and find anchorage, through the power of magnetic attraction, in the consciousness of those who sincerely desire more Light upon a subject, religious or secular. These Rays of Truth pour out impersonally to bless the evolutions belonging to the Earth. However, these are Directed Rays from the Brothers and Sisters at Crete which specifically envelop with more than ordinary power the earnest exponent or seeker of Truth on Earth. 

Every great Avatar, Messiah and Teacher of every religion on Earth belongs to this Temple and gives to it some of his or her time and radiation, just as doctors give of their time, skill and energy to a free clinic in their vicinity. Thus the power of the Temple of Truth embodies the combined radiation of all God-free Beings who have brought the Law to the people of Earth through the ages. 

The glorious Brotherhood at Crete wear garments of white, banded at the hem of their robes and on the sleeves with varying shades of green, depending upon their spiritual status and particular service. 

Constantly, throughout the year, great Teachers speak from the Temple of Truth to those who find their way thither in their finer bodies while the physical bodies sleep. 

Beloved seekers after Truth, avail yourselves of the exceptional opportunity which is yours to visit this Focus during the time when there is an accelerated radiation of the Flame of Cosmic Truth, September 15 through October 14, 1965. 

Beloved Hilarion: "I cannot over-emphasize the necessity for the earnest student to develop from within himself true God-Illumination as differentiated from intellectual accretion, which surfeits the brain consciousness and inflates the personal ego."
