The Permanent Central Temple of The Ascension Flame
In the Etheric Realms over Shamballa pulsates the permanent central Temple of the Ascension Flame, whence flows the glorious Flame of Ultimate Achievement of renunciation of all that is of the Earth, for the peoples of the planet. There are several Foci of the Ascension in various parts of the planet, but all receive their sustenance from this Temple - the pivotal point of the Ascension Activity, sustained by Lord Serapis and his Brotherhood, and guarded by the Seraphic host.
This Temple will one day be manifest on this Holy Isle of Shamballa, when the Permanent Golden Age is manifest.
It was from Atlantis that the mighty Serapis, and some of his followers, carried the Ascension Flame to Egypt when Atlantis sank beneath the waves.
When the Heart of this Flame was returned to Long Island (Atlantis), the former Temple in the Etheric Realm was etherealized, it was with transcendent ceremonial at the order of the beloved Hierarch Serapis that the Builders of Form constructed a beautiful smaller Focus where shall burn a portion of the Ascension Flame, attended by some Members of the Holy Brotherhood of the Ascension.
This was done at the specific request of mighty Serapis in deference to the glorious record of the Luxor Retreat, and his beloved Egypt, which provided a magnificent home on its landed surface and then in the Etheric Realm.
Turning now to Long Island... we shall give you a brief description of the exterior Temple which now is glorifying the Etheric Realm. Let us travel along a beautiful landscaped path to a garden surrounding this Focus, we see an expanse of columns reminiscent of Ancient Greece. These columns form a gigantic square ― the ground covering is a lush substance which can best be described as grass of a velvet-like texture.
We pause as we enter this enclosure, for our consciousness soars to great heights as we see in the center a circular elevation of three steps, upon which is the Temple proper of pyramidal design. The Temple is of a blazing crystalline substance which looks like newly fallen snow, with the Light of the Sun shining upon it. Completely surrounding this elevation is a glorious reflecting pool filled with Lotus Blossoms, which have been carried from Egypt by members of the Brotherhood.
We take a few steps and again pause to accustom our consciousness and eyes to the splendor of this handiwork of the Gods! Drawing closer, we see that white benches, resembling marble, are provided so that we may rest and accustom ourselves to the increasing Radiation... we are bathed in the magnificent Essence of the Ascension Flame. We then hear the glorious music of an ecstatic quality coming from a carillon, and we become further aware of the presence of the Seraphim as we recognize the rendition being played as the Seraphic song, known as Kamenoi Ostrov.
We also realize that the Brotherhood are directing a stepped down Radiation of the Ascension Flame into our etheric garments, further purifying them for their return to the other lower vehicles.
With the return of the Ascension Temple to Atlantis, one can realize that the Permanent Golden Age is nearing manifestation; for the anchorage of this Flame on Long Island is the harbinger of events to come!
