The Rocky Mountain Retreat
Teton Mountains - Wyoming, U.S.A.
Rising majestically from the plains of Wyoming, the snow-capped cathedral-like spires of the Grand Teton Mountains stimulate awe, reverence and admiration for their magnificent splendor in even the most casual observer.
Within the Grand Teton, a Focus of the Great White Brotherhood has been sustained through the ages, dedicated and consecrated to the development and externalization of the Divine Plan for the Earth, mankind and all attendant life evolving within and upon the Planet.
Twice each year, the Spiritual Hierarchy meet in Council in the heart of the Grand Teton, each Member bringing some particular idea which could be of benefit to the progress of the race, in co-operation with the designed pattern for the twelve-month cycle in which such Councils take place.
Now, through the interest and co-operation of the student body throughout the world, unascended beings also offer petitions to the Karmic Board, as well as consciously assisting the Masters whom they have vowed to serve in their daily life. When all the petitions have been heard and all the energies that might be used in helping to fulfill the terms of these petitions have been weighed by the Karmic Board, certain grants of energy are given to Masters and chelas as well. Then the individual initiative, constancy of purpose and capacity to weave the idea into practical form, determines how efficacious has been such a grant of energy. Future grants are determined by past works.
On December 21st, 1968 the evening of the Transmission of the Flame, not only in the heart of the Teton Mountains, but all over the world, the Sanctuaries and Retreats of the Brotherhood will be garlanded with flowers and greens in preparation for the celebration of Christmas, and also because of the opportunity afforded the Beloved Saint Germain in bringing into the lower atmosphere of Earth more and more Cherubic Beings who but await the opportunity to expand the harmonious energy which is released in music and song throughout the Holy Season. This year the Angels of Peace, Transmutation and Purification, will be in the atmosphere of Earth in great numbers to purify the souls of mankind so that Peace may find a permanent dwelling place in their hearts.
At the Christmas Season, when mankind's attention is, for the most part, raised above the ordinary everyday consciousness, the beam of the attention from the Earth upwards gives an opportunity for the Heavenly Host that does not have a parallel throughout the entire year. The psychic and astral realms are then literally bombarded with electronic particles consciously directed from the Cosmic Hierarchy in an endeavor to purify the atmosphere of Earth and to release the discarnates from the psychic effluvia in which they dwell.
The Earth is moving toward the Sun. Those individuals who live on her bounty have opportunity without parallel. Those who do not wish to become refined, as she is being refined, are at complete liberty to remain at the end of the blind alley they have created, but, for the upward-moving Planet, garlanded with Light at this Season, we are very happy. We are happy for this Planet that has suffered so much; that was created so beautiful in the beginning; and that has been so kind and generous to the people evolving upon her and who have shown such little gratitude in return. But now she has decided to be FREE. Isn't that a beautiful thing? The Living, breathing Being, the Planetary Spirit, walks back into the Light. The Angels come to meet her, and the individual beings who are within the body of the Earth, especially those who are conscious of her, receive into themselves some of the Virtues of the Most High.
Beloved chelas, at this Season of the year when it is customary to send Gifts to those you love; we most humbly direct your attention to the greatest gift of all - a Blessing from the Supreme Source as released by the Spiritual Hierarchy. May we suggest that you invoke the glorious Beings assembled at the Rocky Mountain Retreat to release the Gift of Peace, or any other God Virtue which your heart desires to give, and then ask that the Blessing be expanded to enrich all life upon this dear Earth.
Remember, you also have the opportunity to place a Petition before the Karmic Board at this Half-Yearly Council. If it is found to be of merit at Inner Levels, you will be permitted, and required, to engage your energies toward bringing it to fruition.
