The Temple of Truth
Pulsating in the Etheric Realm over the beautiful Island of Crete, which lies on the blue bosom of the Mediterranean Sea, is situated the magnificent Temple of Truth, Focus of the Chohan of the Fifth Ray, the Ascended Master Hilarion, and his Brotherhood of Truth who serve with him in this particular branch of the Spiritual Hierarchy.
The endeavors of the Ascended Master Hilarion and his Brotherhood are to secure the interest and co-operation of the scientifically minded lifestreams of Earth that the exact science applied by the Creator of this Universe, his messengers and workers in the Kingdom, may be more fully understood. This science includes the knowledge and studies of the process whereby form is created and sustained and order maintained throughout each planet, galaxy and Universe in accordance with God's Divine Plan, In previous lives, Hilarion was known as Iamblichus, the Neoplatonic writer, and Saint Paul, the Christian Apostle and follower of the Master Jesus.
This Brotherhood is the Guardian Presence of those blessed children of Earth who have devoted their lives to furthering the cause of scientific treatment and healing of disease - the doctors, nurses and missionaries, and those interested in research to determine the physical causes of the afflictions which beset humankind.
They also assist the vast army of unknown heroes and heroines who work in the research laboratories and privately within their own homes to develop and perfect inventions, formulas, and the many improvements which, added to the present developed comforts and conveniences of humanity, will hasten the freedom of the race from limitations and privations of every kind and description.
The minds and hearts of the bold explorers in the realm of the unknown are the recipients of the developed perfection of this Brotherhood, and many an earnest lifestream who has endeavored in vain to draw forth the secrets of nature has been the beneficiary of the concentrated rays of energy from a member of this Brotherhood who chose to endow such an incarnate lifestream with the privilege of presenting that blessing to his fellowman.
The Temple is Grecian in design, many-columned, gracefully carved, and of extremely large proportions. It is similar to the beautiful Parthenon erected so long ago to the Beloved Pallas Athena, the Goddess of Truth, who is the Cosmic Patroness of this Brotherhood and whose devotees are desirous of finding and externalizing Truth for the blessing and illumination of all humankind.
The robes of the brothers and sisters are pure white, and embroidered over the heart is a Lighted Lamp, similar to the old fashioned oil cruet, which symbol was incorporated into the activities of the Brotherhood by Diogenes, 412 BC, at which time he was among the active members of this Order. This symbol signifies the relentless search for Truth which is the vow and pledge taken by all members of this Brotherhood.
Within this Retreat is one of the most ancient schoolrooms dedicated to the training of chelas in the magnetizing of the Universal Life, and the creating of consciously directed rays by which form may either be created or dissolved, according to the requirement of the God Intelligences so invoking and directing them. Here is taught the mathematical precision by which suns, planets and individual atoms are created and sustained. Here also, the lifestreams are shown how, by controlled thought and feeling, the speed of atoms, the motion of the electrons and direction of form itself, may be governed. Here precipitation and etheralization become the developed faculty of the brother or sister who desires such a gift for use in forwarding the progress of the race.
In this Retreat is a great Audience Chamber where the Master Jesus and Representatives of the great Religions that have blessed the race are given the opportunity of addressing those lifestreams who either do not believe in God, as such, or who through disillusionment and bitter experiences with teachers of religion in whom they trusted, not wisely but too well, have lost their faith and conviction in the Supreme Source, the continuity of consciousness of the individual unit, and the important part that each lifestream is to play in the great Eternal Scheme of Things.
It is suggested that if the gentle reader knows any individuals presently in embodiment or who have passed from this Earth plane in confusion of spirit, they petition the Beloved Hilarion to seek out such a soul and draw that soul into the aura and Presence of this Retreat and give back to such an one Faith, Hope and Belief - built on certainty as to the Presence of All Power of the Father-Mother God! Further, if invocations to this Brotherhood of Truth are made on behalf of the blessed doctors, nurses, and individuals whose lives are dedicated to alleviating the distresses of humankind, a member of this brotherhood will conduct those dedicated ones to the sanctified Aura of this Retreat and bless each one according to the particular requirement and according to the individual channel of service to life.
The great Archangel Raphael, who is the Angel of Consecration, also has the Focus of his Flame of Consecration in this Temple. Individuals who dedicate their lives to a specific beneficial service to humanity are blessed by this Beloved Archangel and Beloved Hilarion before taking embodiment. The primal life which is magnetized by the soul into the heartbeat is consecrated to service by the Archangel Raphael. He pours the Green Flame of Consecration through the electrons that flow as the Silver Cord from the White Fire Body into the physical heart.
This is, therefore, predestined to flow forth as channeled energy to bless the race. All through the course of incarnation, lifestreams who are so foresworn to vocations of service in fields of governmental affairs, missionary endeavors, education, ministry, medicine, the realm of art, and so forth, are guided, guarded and protected by either a Member of the Angelic Kingdom of lord Raphael's Legions or by a member of the Brotherhood of Truth at Crete.
Throughout the year, many great teachers speak to those who find their way to the Temple of Truth in their finer bodies while their physical bodies sleep. Beloved seekers after Truth, avail yourselves of the exceptional opportunity which is yours to visit this Focus when there is an accelerated Radiation of the Flame of Cosmic Truth throughout this thirty-day period.
