On behalf of myself and the staff of "The Bridge to Freedom", "The Bulletin",
and all associated services, may I offer the gentle readers the fullest Ascended
Jesus Christ Blessing upon their Spiritual Selves, at this Holy Christmas
Season. May each one, even as we have done, follow his individual Star, find the
Christ and worshipping him, allow that Christ to grow to God Maturity and God
Mastery in his own individual world and experience! May the year of 1954 open
with the pages of each one's own personal book of record wiped dean in the
Cosmic Flame of Mercy and Forgiveness, and opportunity for God expression be the
Open Door to Freedom each and every day in this coming twelve month cycle! For
the encouragement, kindness, patience, support and understanding of you all, we
express our deep gratitude and eternal thanksgiving.
Your Editor,

THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN RETREAT
December 15th, 1953 to January 14th,
1954
Twice each year, the Great White Brotherhood gather together in the beautiful
Rocky Mountain Retreat in the Western part of the United States of America, for
their Half Yearly Council. At this time, the great Spiritual Tribune, known as
the Lords of Karma, give audience to Members of the Brotherhood and also to
members of the human race who are endeavoring in some manner to forward the
Cause of God's Perfect Kingdom on earth and bring into manifestation quickly
those conditions of mind, body, soul and spirit which will externalize as
Perfect Peace, Unlimited Supply, Divine Health, and Spiritual Illumination for
each lifestream destined to pass through the earth's evolution on his way to God
Mastery and individual divinity of expression.
At these Half Yearly Councils, the Members of the Brotherhood report on the
results of their activities individually, and the activities which their
particular Retreat has sponsored and furthered through the last six months. All
of those who were given grants and dispensations by the Karmic Board and allowed
more than ordinary opportunity to further some such Cause are requested to show
how they have invested the life loaned to them, and what actual results they
have manifested through their endeavors. Upon the amount of good that has been
done, does any future grant or dispensation depend, so all are eager and
desirous of bringing as much "harvest" as possible to the feet of the Tribunal.
All the Members of the Brotherhood and those individuals who are yet a part of
the evolving race are allowed, then, to present their individual ideas and plans
which they have received in communion with their own God Self and which they
believe will hasten the development of a God Free Race. According to the
interest they can develop in their plans, and according to the sponsorship which
each such plan receives, does the Karmic Board allow to further pursue their
endeavors in the coming six months.
It is suggested that each student who reads these words enter into communion
with his own God Self and, if he feels that there is some way to benefit the
race as a whole, he should write his petition down, read it over nightly before
going to sleep to impress his outer consciousness and his etheric consciousness
of the plan, and then, in the fuller freedom of the inner body, the student will
either be given an opportunity to apply for assistance before the Karmic Board
to fulfill that plan, or it will be taken up by one of the Great White
Brotherhood and incorporated into a Cause of a similar nature which he is
forwarding.
Immediately after the Christmas Day Celebrations, these good Brothers and
Sisters begin to enter the Retreat and endeavor to secure interest in their
Plans to help mankind. The decisions are given by the Karmic Board on the night
of December 31st, just before the thoughtform for the New Year is lowered into
the consciousness of Sanat Kumara from the Silent Watcher of the earth.
Those individuals and groups who desire to join together in this period between
Christmas Day and January 1st and offer their energies to the Karmic Board and
the Cosmic Law to grant all the petitions and dispensations requested will
greatly increase the opportunity of the Brotherhood to secure grants of Mercy
and Compassion which will result in tremendous assistance for the race as a
whole, as well as the Elemental and Angelic evolutions which benefit by any
progress in the conditions of the human race.
