Destiny, The Open Door

A Journey Into The Presence

(Extracts Taken From Ascended Masters and Their Retreats pgs. 124-129)

According to Schroeder, p.124-129 states, “The Ascended Master Hilarion was a priest in the Temple of Truth, on Poseidonis, the last remnant of the Atlantean Continent. About 12,000 years ago, the priests of the Temple of Truth were alerted that Poseidonis would shortly sink into the Pacific Ocean. Together with other individuals, Hilarion volunteered to bring the Flame of Truth to Crete. Crete, at that time, was a part of Greece.

Hilarion arrived at Crete just before Poseidonis sank. With the assistance of Pallas Athena, the Goddess of Truth, Hilarion, and other priests built the Temple of Truth on Crete. This took many embodiments.  This focus of truth later brought forth the oracles of Delphi, who functioned for hundreds of years. The people had faith in the Delphic Order, but eventually fell prey to the actions of a few oracles and priests, who allowed themselves to be bought. Finally, the Masters had to withdraw.”

In Biblical times,  Hilarion was known as Saul of Tarsus, and later, as the Apostle Paul. Saul had a certain set belief as to how the Messiah would come. This caused him to miss seeing Jesus. Saul was on the way to Damascus when Jesus, after his ascension, appeared to him. That visitation changed Saul’s life. Much of his arrogance and pride was consumed. He became known as the Apostle Paul. He suffered much remorse for having missed Jesus, while Jesus was in physical embodiment.

Later on,  Hilarion had an embodiment as the philosopher Iamblichus. According to Alice Schutz, author of the A.D.K. Luk books, Hilarion’s last embodiment was spent in a town near Gaza, Palestine. This occurred about 300 AD. He was educated at Alexandria. Afterward, he lived as a hermit in the desert, directing a great number of students. He ascended from the earthly plane at a place among almost inaccessible rocks.  Hilarion is now Chohan of the Fifth Ray, the Ray of Science, Healing, and Truth. Beloved Ascended Master Hilarion is a member of the Brotherhood of Truth, functioning at the Temple of Truth, in the etheric realm, over Crete.

Schroeder states, “The Brotherhood of Truth assists all researchers who have consecrated their lives in an effort to bless the human race. The robes of the Brotherhood at Crete are pure white. 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 B.C.), when Hilarion was a member of that order. This symbol signifies the relentless search for truth, which is the vow and pledge taken by all members of the brotherhood. The beloved Goddess of Truth, like the Goddess of Purity and the Goddess of Justice, is not among those particularly wooed by mankind, for PEOPLE AS A RULE DO NOT ENJOY THE SHARP EDGE OF TRUTH. For this reason, the Goddess of Truth has, to a great extent, remained in the heart of the Silence, and truth has been veiled, in expression, through the various spiritual, educational and inspirational teachings that have come forth.”

I challenge you to accept the presence of truth, resisting it not by personal concepts, and see what this will bring into your worlds!” Therefore, the ACTIVE DESIRE TO KNOW TRUTH, ACCOMPANIED BY ACTION, IS A PRE-REQUISITE TO PROGRESS ON THE LADDER OF SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT. The Goddess of Truth is ready, always, to lend her assistance and awaits your invitation to invite her to help you throughout your journey. In your daily calls, ask the Goddess of Truth (beloved Pallas Athena) to help you and you will receive, from that mighty Being, a blessing beyond anything you can presently conceive. To discern truth among the teachings of the messengers of the Great White Brotherhood—authorized or otherwise—is one of the most difficult tasks of the student. It requires great patience and SETTING ASIDE A GREAT DEAL OF TIME TO COMPARE THE MESSAGES GIVEN.

The beloved Ascended Master Lanto, stated that: “To perceive the truth, you must have peace of mind, through understanding.” The first thing that the individual has to learn is to distinguish between different presentations of the truth, to determine which constitutes a more complete expression of the truth. The individual must, have, as one of his guides, the words of our beloved Jesus who said: ‘Not all who come in my name represent me.’

The Ascended Master Hilarion will assist anyone who sincerely wants to know truth. Healing is another of his interests. Hilarion enjoys assisting medical researchers in alleviating pain and suffering.  Hilarion likes to assist.

The Beloved Confucius impressed us with his words that can be indicated throughout the growth and development of his intellect and genius. He states, “At fifteen,” he tells us, “My mind was bent on learning. At thirty I stood firm. At forty I was free from delusions. At fifty, I understood the laws of Providence. At sixty, my ears were attentive to the truth. At seventy I could follow the promptings of my heart.”

Lord Himalaya is the Manu of the Fourth Root-race. Some of the Fourth Root Race was destined to have long ago finished their course of evolution upon the planet, Earth, and still remain in Asia. While even one soul remains, the beloved Himalaya, their Manu, and spiritual guardian must remain with them. Lord Himalaya waits – amid the eternal snows – guarding the spiritual culture and age-old parchments, hoping that the Individual of today will help him in his task to gain the ascension of his Fourth Root Race. Lord Himalaya is the hierarch of the Temple of the Blue Lotus. In the Temple of the Blue Lotus retreat, Lord Himalaya guards the wealth of true wisdom, written down by the sages of the Atlantean and Lemurian cultures, as well as the wealth of inspiration achieved through the development of the Buddhist dispensation.

In this retreat, parchments containing the writings of all the ancient sages are preserved and carefully guarded. They will be released to the East and to the West only when greed, selfishness, and separateness among the peoples of the Earth are no more. Lord Himalaya is the guardian and protector of the Masculine Ray. The Feminine and the Masculine Rays meet in the center of the Earth. This action forms the permanent atom of the Earth, a Threefold Flame. For many centuries, the Masculine Ray was the predominant focus of wisdom upon the Earth, drawing to it many earnests and sincere seekers for truth. The action and qualities of this focus are wisdom, illumination, peace, and tranquility.

In 1953, the Cosmic Law directed the predominant pressure of energy through the Feminine Ray, guarded by the God Meru. This powerful pressure of energy transferred the magnetic pull from the East to the West. This will result in the attraction of the spiritually-inclined Individual toward Western incarnation and the gradual infusion of the spiritual interest and nature of the East in the Western consciousness and culture. As part of this action, some records and treasures have been transferred from this retreat to Lord Meru’s Retreat near Lake Titicaca, in South America. Lord Himalaya was the teacher of Lord Gautama, Lord Maitreya, and Kuthumi. He also works with the Brothers of the Golden Robe. A visitor of the Blue Lotus Retreat will be impressed by Lord Himalaya’s gracious presence, along with his wisdom and serenity. He appears as a beautiful, serene, oriental being, whose delicate features seem carved out of the finest ivory, the high cheekbones emphasizing the beauty of his exquisite face. His robes are flowing silk, of the palest yellow.

In one of the highest mountains of the Himalayan chain, the focus of the Manu of the fourth root race is carved, seven chambers, one on top of the other, an impregnable fortress dedicated to individual self-mastery through the flowering of the seven chakras in the body of man. The seven chambers provide a system of initiation whereby one begins his training in the lowest and largest of the chambers and is allowed to ascend to the next chamber only when he has completed certain studies and passed prescribed tests of self-mastery.

The feeling that permeates the Retreat of the Blue Lotus is one of clear light. Truly those who come here must have purified their four lower bodies and regained that clarity of consciousness that was theirs in the beginning and that enables each one to ascend the seven levels of God-consciousness in preparation either for the ascension or for the maintaining of life within the physical form over periods of hundreds of years.

This ability to maintain life in the physical form enables certain key lifestream to maintain the focus of God in the world of form while their consciousness may come and go at will. These are they who have taken the vow of the bodhisattva to remain in the service of their fellowman until every last man, woman, and child is free.

Himalaya Invites Us to the Retreat of the Blue Lotus

“I say, then, daughters of the living flame, invoke the masculine ray as a point of light in the crown chakra, as the magnet that will draw up your feminine energies for the victory. I say to you, sons of flame, invoke the light of Asia, the light of the seventh tier of the Retreat of the Blue Lotus. Let it be the crowning jewel of life. Let it be a frequency and a tone in the crown chakra that impels the rising of soul energies and of Mother Flame.

“Strive for oneness, strive for wholeness. Seek the desiring of God and the desirelessness of God. Learn the balance of the twain. Come under the Law and the rod, and know that I am waiting in the Retreat of the Blue Lotus for you to come up higher and higher, to the pinnacle of your own being. Know, then, that the door of the retreat is open for those who are disciplined in the Law.

“I pray, then, that you will be prepared to be received by the doorkeeper and that you will be a part of those who support the masculine ray on behalf of the evolutions of Asia, so many of whom know not their identity in God. So then, may the light of far-off worlds be the star of your crown. And may you meditate upon that blue-sapphire star, a five-pointed star. I seal it on the brow for the protection of the opening of the third eye and the perception of the will of God.

“Come. Come to the Retreat of the Blue Lotus. Come, for there is work to be done. There are action and interaction. There is a civilization to be forged. I am the law of the life—the crown of life—and I AM the masculine ray for the life waves of Terra. I extend my hands, for I would pass to you, each one, and these mighty currents of Alpha that you might understand what vigor and verve and energy can be yours for the fulfillment of cycles of being.”¹

The flame flower of the retreat is the blue lotus, and the brothers who serve here wear white linen robes.

Prayer to Attend Lord Himalaya’s Retreat of the Blue Lotus

Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit.
O my soul, let us arise from our abode.
Mighty I AM Presence and Holy Christ Self, with Archangel Michael and a cordon of blue-lightening angels, transport my soul clothed in my finer bodies, fully equipped with the armor of God, to Lord Himalaya’s Retreat of the Blue Lotus in the Himalayas or to the designated place of my Holy Work this night. Escort me, instruct me, and guide and protect me and all co-servers, I pray Thee, now and always as we serve to cut free all life on earth.
