Activities at, the Ceylon Retreat through June 15^th, 1952 

The Magnetic Power of each retreat does not go into action until the very instant when the preceding retreat completed its out-going rhythm, lest at Inner levels the souls be swept into the current of the new retreat before the retreat of the month has given the maximum of its Blessings to life. There is an exact moment when the magnetic currents begin to draw the souls of men, and an exact moment when that connection is severed in favor of the next outpouring. 

The Intensity of the Flame and Powers focused through each retreat is increased by each member of the Ascended and unascended mankind who voluntarily or unconsciously join the Conclave. The periphery of the Sphere of Influence to which the benefits and gifts of the retreat may reach is in like manner determined by the intensity of the Flame drawn and focused by each participating lifestream. 

Because of the free will of man, we cannot be sure beforehand of how many will attend, or how far the benediction will reach, or with what potency or power. It is always, therefore, gratifying to have the response exceed our hope, because the greater blessing is derived for all peoples. 

Can you imagine for a moment the delight of the Hierarch of the Retreat when the magnetic currents set up, which represent his gift to life, begin to draw in on the Rays so many thousands and thousands of torches for that Flame! This was my experience and  although the brotherhood was pressed to exert every available once of energy and although the harvesters were not in nearly enough numbers to fulfill better prepared at each successive Council by calling more volunteer teachers from Inner Levels to “feed the sheep”. 

Mankind, in contemplating the activities of the Godhead through his representatives, so often makes the blessings and gifts of the Masters abstract and ephemeral. Yet, the most mundane activities in which the personal self is engaged – when constructive – come under the direction of the Chohans of one of the Seven Rays, and all channels which contribute to the Comfort of Life, to the well being of peoples are under the direct supervision of the Third Person of the Holy Trinity, and myself as his representative in the world of mankind. The magnetic pull of a complementary vibration drew great numbers of these people to the Ceylon Conference, not only conscious students, chelas, and spiritually minded individuals, but those from among the masses who have voluntarily chosen to hold the office of Comforter to groups of people through the medical profession, the religious orders, the educational channels, the world of art, literature and music, and specifically the world of science and invention, which contributes no little part to the comfort of the people of earth and the nature kingdom, witness mattresses, easy chairs, automobiles, vacuum cleaners, and so forth. 

My seven sons (The Chohans of the Seven Rays) have been delighted with the attendance and engaged in the tremendous task of receiving all individuals who work under any of the ramifications of their particular Ray, endeavoring to raise each potential server to his highest possible manifestation of good in his capacity to serve life. 

This Council will have a marked effect in the forward movement, of constructive energies through inventive endeavors, mechanical perfection, architecture etc. as well as forward the impulses for a much higher type of music, drama and literary perfection which shows you some of the possibilities and promises that come within the scope of the Master's beneficent powers when the Flame in any Retreat is intensified and fed by focusing Cosmic and world energies and attention into it at a given time. 

The Master Morya was specifically engaged in receiving and instructing the Inner consciousness of the statesmen and patriotically inclined individuals whose constructive desires and interests drew them (consciously or unconsciously) to the Conclave. 

The Master Kuthumi has been expanding every effort, together with his body of Chelas, in receiving and offering intensive training to the individuals who represent the parents, teachers and guardians of the younger generation as well as the spiritual teachers of the race. 

The Great Venetian has spoken to the entire Conclave once every twelve hours on the necessity for the development of tolerance and understanding and brotherhood in all seven avenues of service. His reminder was potent; "Remember, however, that Tolerance is a virtue which can soon run to need and become indifference.” 

Master Serapis had a double task because he not only works along the fields of beauty, art and architecture and the actual designing and inspiring of future temples, homes and cities, but through his Cosmic Designation as the Master of the Year, he must perform the service of uniting the outer consciousness of every lifestream who comes to the retreat with the essence of the lectures and the particular instruction of each twenty-four hour period, so that none go away without a permanent enrichment of consciousness. To this end, he has had to draw the Higher Mental Bodies of each one who has been given the first grant for the experiment allowed by the Karmic Lords at the January Conclave from to Fourth Sphere to insure its Presence and co­operation at this time. 

The work of Hilarion has been to meet and assist those whose service in the outer world lies in the realm of science, inventive genius, medical perfection and whatever possible correlate the findings of science with the truth of spiritual law. 

The Master Jesus was host to the Christian teachers and all those working along devotional religious lines. Here he was enabled to open the Inner consciousness to a greater receptivity to the Truth through the dissolving of orthodox barriers and superstitions. 

And then The Beloved Saint Germain… in January of 1952, the Higher Mental Bodies of the entire human race asked for a dispensation whereby human free will would be set aside and they allowed to cooperate in the Cosmic Push of the Hour through the personalities which they had sustained through the centuries. The Lords of Karma, together with a messenger from the Central Sun, made a partial grant to two thousand particularly prepared individuals, as an experiment. The results of their endeavors will be reported on June 30^th, 1952, at the Royal Teton Conclave. 

The Master Saint Germain became Sponsor for each lifestream who volunteered and was accepted, and so it became his great duty, along with his usual activities in instructing individuals, in the drawing, focusing and directing of spiritual energies, to hasten the liberation of the sense consciousness and to provide a way and means by which the outer mind might be connected with the Plans of the Brotherhood. 

He has labored without rest this entire thirty day, period, twenty-four hours around the clock, receiving those particular individuals, and talking and coaxing them toward co-operative action. Perhaps you can understand the love in my Heart for this son, not only in his Hope but his Service. I said to him, "Now son, let me for an hour stand guard over those who are coming in on your Ray, and you find relaxation elsewhere. But, he did not leave his post, nor has he ever left it since first he took his vow.

Love and Blessings,

THE MAHA CHOHAN
