The Resurrection Temple

In the Near East, shining in the pulsating ethers over the Holy Land, stands the Temple of Resurrection, whose Immortal Flame of Restoration and Resuscitation is guarded and protected by the beautiful Ascended Masters, Jesus and his mother, Mary. 

The Flame of the Resurrection is the Hope of Redemption of the entire human race, by which the diseased, distorted and disintegrating substance that has been generated by human thought and feeling and imposed upon the pure God-energy may be purified, transmuted and restored to its natural, perfect God-nature. 

The Action of the Resurrection Flame is the quickening of the vibratory action of the Light of Life within the cells of the body, enabling the Inner Light to throw off the appearance of limitation and stand revealed in "the Glory it had with the Father, before the world was. The substance of the Resurrection Flame flows through the inner bodies of those who invite it, as well as through the actual flesh structure. 

The vibratory action of the Resurrection Flame is controlled by those Brothers and Sisters who abide within the Resurrection Temple and direct that Flame through the physical, mental, etheric and emotional bodies of the neophytes in answer to their individual invocations for its tremendous power to be loosed through them and others at their call. 

The Temple of the Resurrection is circular in design. The Courts, like great cylindrical corridors, circle around the Central Flame Room where the Heart of the Sacred Fire of the Resurrection is focused. 

The degree of Mastery and Light achieved by each Brother and Sister belonging to this Temple determine how near they may draw to the Central Sanctuary, the Holy of Holies, because the power of this Flame is such that only Ascended Beings can stand in its Presence. However, many chelas and neophytes occupy the outer chambers, and gradually, through proximity and through individual application,  prepare themselves to approach closer and closer to the Heart Center where the focused Flame abides. 

The Resurrection Flame was first drawn into the atmosphere of the Earth Planet by the great Krishna who, seeing the shadow of human thought and feeling taking form in the consciousness of man, knew that the fruit of that seed would be disease, disintegration and decay, and he knew further that some means of restoration of these fallen sons of God would have to be provided for, in case they desired to return to their natural God Estate. 

When a great Being applies to the Heart of Creation for the privilege and honor of ensouling some God Quality with his individual Life Intelligence, he must vow to remain the Guardian Presence of that Flame, renouncing his Freedom and Joyous Release into the Higher Realms until some Volunteer Spirit from the race he serves chooses to relieve him of his Trust and become that Guardian Presence in his place and stead. Thus, it is not lightly that great Beings apply for voluntary exile from the Peace of Celestial Glory to guard and sustain a Focus of Light and Power which can be drawn upon by mankind in their hour of need, especially when, for countless centuries of time not one applicant from the race even applies for the beneficent radiation of that Flame or shows a passing interest in its Presence and the gift which it brings to free Life. 

However, through the centuries, the Great Maha Chohans of each Age have availed themselves of the tremendous power of the Resurrection Flame in bringing the Kingdom of Nature to new life in each springtime, and the Builders of Form have utilized the powers of the Resurrection Flame in creating new temples or bodies for the evolving souls of mankind. 

In rare instances, those who had renounced the heritage of death and decay as the natural estate of humankind, were drawn into the vicinity of the Resurrection Temple and taught how to draw that Flame through their inner bodies and their flesh structure as well, and these elect became the Brothers and Sisters of the Resurrection. 

Many of these devotees went forth and established Foci of the Resurrection Flame in remote, inaccessible places. The few seekers of the race with sufficient desire for Redemption in their hearts were drawn to these Sanctified locations, and when they persevered in the use of this Flame, found their bodies restored, their minds illumined and their consciousness prepared to be Light Bearers themselves. These people were able to maintain Life in the physical body for centuries and the records of their achievements are found in many of the archives of great civilizations of the past. 

The Beloved Master Jesus and his mother, Mary, applied to the great Father of Light for the privilege and opportunity of relieving the previous Guardian Spirit of the Resurrection Flame, offering to take his place and remain its guardians until some other sons and daughters of Earth might find it within their own heart's Light to assume this wondrous service. 

In order to be vested with the Power and Authority of guarding a Cosmic Flame, the Presence of which is essential to the redemption and freedom of an evolution, the Spiritual Being making the application must draw that Flame in its fullness through his own Bodies. The Master Jesus offered to render this service at the close of his mission in Judea. 

With the help of beloved Holy Ĉolus (Maha Chohan at that time), whose Cosmic Service and momentum are built into the full power of the Resurrection Flame through the Kingdoms of Nature, Jesus was enabled to demonstrate the Power within that Flame in restoring the body to life and the spirit to Immortality. He was then vested by Cosmic Law with the Power and Authority, together with the Beloved Mary, his mother, to guard and sustain the Resurrection Flame from within this Temple where they render this service to the present day. 

From the Heart of the Temple where the White Fire of the Resurrection Flame pulsates like a great White Lily, the Angel Devas and Cherubic and Seraphic Hosts of the Resurrection are constantly absorbing its substance into themselves and then sweeping outward at the direction of the Masters who are in charge of the direction of the Light Rays. 

Each of the Circular Corridors receives of the Radiation of the Flame, mercifully dimmed so that its Light and Essence may be absorbed and digested by the Beings who serve within that Sphere of Activity. In each such corridor a Master of Wisdom instructs a group of chelas who are engaged in the service of learning how to draw this Flame, then projecting it toward a given objective, holding the beam of their attention as the channel and guide along which the Light flows into churches, shrines, hospitals, homes and human hearts. 

One of the Corridors is devoted entirely to directing the Resurrection Flame into the Etheric Realm and through the etheric bodies of those who have applied through their own Heart Flame for purification of their own etheric records. The Brothers and Sisters who direct the Flame in its Etheric Vibration are instantly responsive to those calls made by conscious chelas for the dissolving and purifying of etheric records in nations, continents, old castles and places where great evils and injustices have been done to Life. 

In another circular room, the brothers and sisters direct the Flame (with the assistance of the Master who guides them and the willing co-operation of the Angelic Host) into the astral and psychic realms, rendering tremendous assistance in dissolving the mass accumulations of discord which manifest as diseases of mind and body. 

From this room, also, are directed the Rays in answer to the calls and prayers for the so-called 'dead' and the purifying power of these Rays does much in assisting 'earth-bound' spirits to rise into the Octaves of Light and enter school rooms of greater purity and light and thus move forward more quickly in the fulfillment of their God Plan. 

From another one of these great Circular Rooms, the brothers and sisters direct the Flame through the vast sea of the Emotional Realm and through the desire worlds of those who wish to rise above the passions of the senses, sublimating the lusts of the outer self and replacing them by 'hunger and thirst after righteousness.' 

From still another room, the Directors of the Light Rays pour the Flame into the vibratory action of the mental bodies of the race and through the tremendous accumulation of thought forms which fill the atmosphere, impinging themselves upon the mental bodies of the people thus blocking the God-directions of the Individual Higher Self. 

In the outermost Court of the Temple are the brothers and sisters who direct the Flame through the physical structure of those who desire bodies that are absolutely non-recordant to disease. From this Court, also, the Nature Devas and the Elemental Builders of Form, under the direction of the Maha Chohan, supervise the direction of the rhythmic currents of the Resurrection Flame that provide the seasons of growth and harvest. 

As the mankind of Earth are invited to become the guests of the beloved Masters who guard and sustain the Flame, there is a tremendous opportunity for those who choose to avail themselves of its restorative Powers by the opening of their inner bodies as well as their physical bodies to the Transmuting, Quickening, Raising Power which is provided by the God of Love for those who choose to accept its Blessings and incorporate its Power into their individual lives and worlds.
