THE TEMPLE OF LIBERTY

At Chateau de Liberté, in Southern France

In southern France, on the banks of the Rhone River that flows serenely through the green hills and valleys of the rich countryside, stands the Chateau de Liberte, which is presently the home of Beloved Lady Rowena, Chohan of the Third Ray, and Divine Complement of the mighty Victory.

The natural beauty of the profusely flowered countryside emphasizes the grace of the buildings, framed in the loveliest of Nature's settings.

The musical play of the water rising from the marble fountains mingles with the song of the birds, and the warm Sun unfolds the petals of the water lilies, and lights up the multicolored plumage of the many birds who find safe sanctuary in the peaceful environment of this beautiful home of the Director of the Third Ray.

Through the open windows drifts the music from  organ, cello, harp, and piano, blending with the song of Nature, as these instruments are given voice through the talents of the brothers and sisters who are the devotees of Beauty as well as Guardians of the Flame of Liberty, which has been established and sustained in this location long before the sinking of the last remnants of Atlantis.

Graceful marble columns, garlanded with the blooming roses, encircle the formal gardens, and the most exquisite statuary, representing the height of the culture of every age, depicts the many God lessons to be learned by the wise, as well as immortalizing the life expression of the great men and women of civilizations that had risen to great heights, only to be again swallowed up in the veil of maya, leaving but some treasure of art, or legend, as witness to their passing glory.

Entering the beautiful spacious hall, an exquisite painting faces us, representing the Holy Trinity, a magnificent Being depicting the father, a lovely white Dove with a wingspread of almost nine feet representing the Holy Spirit and a glorious likeness of the Master Jesus representing the son.

The radiation from this picture is so tremendous that it envelopes the entire entrance hall and holds the visitor spellbound in its presence. This painting was begun by the great artist Paolo Veronese and was completed by him after his Ascension, therefore, it had the unique distinction of carrying the vibratory action of both realms of activity in which he is so vitally interested.

As we become accustomed to the radiation that emanates from the picture and are enabled to observe the splendor and magnificence of the grand marble staircase, the beautiful Cherubim and Seraphic figures that decorate the spacious hall, and the richly patterned mosaic figures on the floor, we are conscious of a throbbing beneath our feet, reminding us of a strong, definite, vitalizing pulse beat. This, we are told is the rhythm of the Flame of Liberty, which has been guarded, protected and sustained by many Guardians since it was first focused at this location by those who left Atlantis carrying its Sacred Essence - that Love of Liberty might be sustained in the hearts of men for generations yet unborn.

The Focus of the Flame of Liberty established at this point so many ages ago accounts for the fact that France has been identified with Liberty of Conscience for centuries and it was hoped by the Great White Brotherhood that through the impetus of that Flame the United States of Europe might be externalized through the Court of France as early as the seventeenth century, during the reign of Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette.

Although Saint Germain endeavored unsuccessfully to reach the consciousness of the rulers of France up through the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte, he was enabled to draw the substance of that Flame through the living hearts of those men whom he inspired to carry the Love of Liberty across the sea to the new land of Hope for Freedom. Through these dedicated men, a mystic transference of that momentum of Liberty was anchored into the conscious heartbeat of America.

It was not by accident that the people of France were inspired to give to America the Symbol of Liberty which stands in the harbor of New York City as an expression of their love and friendship, in the outer sense, and as a Focus of the Liberty Flame from the inner standpoint.

The keynote of this beautiful, pulsating Liberty Flame is found within the French National Anthem, The Marseillaise, which accounts for the feeling of inspiration which runs through the hearts and souls of all who love Freedom when this song is played or sung.

As we accept the radiation of the Liberty Flame, we raise our eyes and see our beloved hostess, with her Divine Complement, Mighty Victory who has come from his Retreat over the Isles  of Britain to welcome the chelas.

As we are escorted through this lovely home, we enjoy looking at the priceless treasures of art, the statuary, the oil paintings and the many contributions which humankind has made to the Realm of Beauty, which have earned the right to be protected and sustained through the centuries by the Guardians of the gifts of humanity’s individual and collective genius.

Then, in the cool of the evening, under the light of the stars, we join the brothers and sisters in the lovely gardens, as the Music of the Spheres is released and flows out upon the perfumed night air, joining the paean of praise and gratitude that rises from our hearts as we absorb the peace that permeates this night of beauty.

We send our particular gratitude to the Beloved Paul, the Maha Chohan, for the beauty he magnetized at this Focus, when it was his home as Chohan of the Third Ray.

BELOVED LIBERTY FLAME

O Sons of Light, awake to glory;

God's Legions bright now come again

To bring to Earth Perfection's story -

The Plan Divine and Goal of all men.

As they aspire, so the Christ takes command,

And God's great Light will banish the shadows

That now enfold this planet 'round;

As man then bursts his bonds asunder,

The Bells of Freedom will resound.

Arise! To God now call - For Peace and Liberty!

This Truth we know - Light is supreme and Master over all.
