Pulsating in the Etheric Realm over the Island of Cuba is the magnificent Temple of Purification, presided over by the Archangel Zadkiel and his Divine Complement, Holy Amethyst. Once this Temple was a physical Focus located on the surface of the Earth itself, in the days that Cuba was a part of the great continent of Atlantis. 

When the Atlantean culture flourished there was a "White Order" of unascended life-streams who loved and served God and his Holy Messengers. Among this "White Order" were the Priests and Priestesses of the Order of Zadkiel, wearing purple robes with a white Maltese Cross on the back. Our present Director of the Seventh Ray, the Ascended Master Saint Germain, was one of these Priests. 

It was not happenstance which drew Columbus (our beloved Saint Germain) westward across an uncharted sea to the Island of Cuba, so long ago. It was the magnetic pull of Lord Zadkiel's Temple and Saint Germain’s personal love of the Violet Fire itself. 

The requirement was vital for a Temple of Purification to be established in the physical octave of Earth, as a part of the "White Order" activities. This was done and from it the great Archangel Zadkiel, himself, chose to invoke and radiate the Violet Fire of Transmutation and Mercy into the atmosphere of Earth. With the help of the Builders of Form, the Angels of the Violet Fire, the Ceremonial Devas and the unascended lifestreams who had remained true to God's purpose, Beloved Zadkiel established his Temple of Violet Fire on the continent of Atlantis. 

This Temple was circular in form and very large. It was created entirely of the pure amethyst which people had brought from the four corners of the Earth. Its dome was crowned with a golden figure, life-sized (about seven feet in height) of Holy Amethyst (Divine Complement of Lord Zadkiel). In the center of the Temple an altar built of the same beautiful amethyst, cradled a Focus of the Violet Fire. This Flame was attended by the Priests and Priestesses of Lord Zadkiel, who continued as he had instructed them to invoke, sustain and project this purifying essence of Violet Fire into the atmosphere of the Earth. 

If it had not been for this Focus, the Flames (Virtues) held on other portions of the Atlantean Continent by other members of the "White Order", could not and would not have been sustained; nor would they have been allowed later to be carried by their own Priests and Priestesses to other parts of the landed surface of the Earth at the time when the Atlantean Continent sank beneath the waves. 

As the Violet Flame and Ray represent the Seventh Ray, around the Central Temple of Lord Zadkiel were built in the same circular design (although smaller in size) seven lesser Temples. From the golden dome of each of these there arose a living, visible, tangible Violet Flame which could be seen for a thousand miles in every direction. 

As before mentioned, the Temple of Lord Zadkiel, has remained, together with its seven lesser Temples, pulsating in the ethers over the Island of Cuba to the present day. 

Those who know of this etheric Temple of Violet Fire still use its beneficent Presence and activities, visiting It in their finer bodies (at night, when the physical sleeps) and drawing its Purifying radiation into the atmosphere of the Earth. 

Since this Temple is open for the entire twelve-month period of Nineteen Hundred Sixty-seven, the beloved chelas have a tremendous opportunity to have their vehicles bathed every twenty-four period in this purifying essence and to become Radiating Centers of the Flame of Transmutation in expanded activity. Please do not depend on a chance visitation, but before entering the period of sleep, ask that you be taken to the Temple of Purification, where the Brothers and Sisters of Lord Zadkiel's Order will assist in your own personal purification, and intensify your efforts in the cleansing of all the evolutions of this Planet. You will, of course, ask to be taken to the specific Retreat of any period after the visit to The Temple of Purification and Transmutation. 

Rest in the Arms of the Archangel Zadkiel! Feel the protecting aura of his purple cloak!
