The Rocky Mountain Retreat
Teton Mountains - Wyoming, U.S.A.
Twice each year, at the beginning of the twelve month cycle in January, and at the end of June, the Great White Brotherhood have the opportunity of gathering together before that august body of Divine Justice and Mercy who are known as the Lords of Karma.
The beautiful Retreat located in the western part of the United States of America, in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, plays host to the Ascended Masters and their chosen chelas, pupils and aspirants toward wisdom.
The entire service and activity of that Spiritual Body of dedicated intelligent God Beings known as The Great White Brotherhood is to raise the consciousness of mankind and make it possible for every individual to know perfect health of mind and body, abundance of every good and perfect thing, and to learn that God, the Father, desires that the individual shall manifest to widen the borders of his glorious Kingdom. Throughout the year, in the various Retreats around the world, selfless Brothers and Sisters are constantly preparing plans for the furthering of the evolution of the race, and these plans and designs are presented at the Half Yearly Councils in order to secure the sanction of the Lords of Karma and the necessary Dispensations and Grants of energy required to carry the plans into effect.
The Law governing the evolution of the race is that all benefits and blessings must come through the natural door of the consciousness of some member of the race yet embodied and belonging to the realm in which the blessing is to manifest. This is evident because the long course of history proves without a question of a doubt that, although all the inventions and discoveries and blessings existed in the mind of God and were easily perceived by those who had earned the right to live in his Presence, these gifts did not become the property of the race until one of their number grasped the idea and drew it through the energies of his own world. Even Jesus had to take on a physical body, to translate the Word of God to man!
It is to secure the cooperation and interest of the constructive students of life who attend these Half Yearly Councils that the Members of the Brotherhood present their various petitions and plans. Upon the amount of interest shown by the embodied lifestreams who, in the greater freedom of their inner bodies, are privileged to participate in these Councils, depends the extent of the Grants and Dispensations handed down to the Brothers by the Karmic Board. After all plans and designs are heard, and the sponsors from among the human race duly noted, the Grants are handed down, and those Masters who have secured the greatest response from the hearts of the assembled embodied mankind receive the most energy from the Cosmic Storehouse which balances the "pledged" energy of the students.
May every member of the human race, embodied and disembodied, attend this Great Council and offer their energies that the Planet may quickly outpicture the Perfection that is intended for her and her peoples.
