The beautiful sanctuary at Banff was prepared, by the builders of form, at the time of the descent of the first root race. The builders of form were assisted by members of the angelic host. The temple was hewn out of the rocks of a mountain, and was adorned with the most exquisite diamonds and sapphires, drawn from the heart of the mountains, with the cooperation of the beloved Virgo. Archangel Michael, his legions of angels, and the Manu of the First Root Race were part of the group who descended to Earth. The temple is circular in design and it is tremendous in size. It has a golden dome, on top of which is a statue, representing Archangel Michael. There is an entrance on each of the four sides. Forty-nine steps lead up to the forty-foot doors of the temple. Each door is adorned with blue sapphires, laid out to resemble the shape of beloved Lord Michael and his Archaii, beloved Faith.  Around this temple are magnificent gardens, with fountains.

Visitors who desire to amplify their own personal faith in the goodness of God, are enabled to sit upon the large marble benches, just absorbing the illumined faith of Lord Michael, protector and defender of the true faith in God and His righteousness.  Within the temple, itself, the seats are arranged in a circular formation, with the diamond altar in the center, equally discernible from every point in the temple. Upon this altar burns the blue Flame of Faith in God. The flame has a white center. This temple was used throughout the first Golden Ages. People from all over the world came here, to strengthen their faith in whatever project they were pursuing. In the flame on the altar they found nourishment for the particular project or idea they wished to externalize. Those standing within it, found the primal seed of their idea growing and developing, in a magic, mystic way. Very often, before they had descended the steps of the temple, the ephemeral concept of the picture they had in mind had been clothed in a clear, concise mental image in the feelings and often precipitated, if it was a small object, in their hands. Before the veil of maya had been created, mankind’s natural estate was to walk, talk and accept counsel from the angelic hosts and their great directors. From all points of the Earth’s surface, people came to bathe in the powerful radiance of Lord Michael’s presence.

Here they found new strength to continue in their services to God and man, filling their souls with Archangel Michael’s faith in the ultimate expression of God’s kingdom of heaven on Earth.  At that time, Lord Michael walked, daily, among these pure people and wherever he went, spiritual enthusiasm and desire to expand God’s perfection were increased and sustained. His shining presence, his flashing eyes, and his exquisite golden hair were a natural and God-inspiring sight, to all who looked upon him. After the Earth gave hospitality to the laggards from other planets, Lord Michael and his legions did not desert the Earth and its struggling evolutions.

Archangel Michael had made a vow to God to protect the spiritual light within the hearts of mankind, and no human appearances ever could or ever did swerve him from his holy purpose! As the ages passed, his magnificent temple, his blazing presence, and the presence of his divine helpers, became less and less visible to human sight, until the shadows of human discord formed a veil between mankind and the angelic host.

At that time, the Temple of Faith was etherealized. It is still pulsating today, in the etheric realm, near Banff, Canada. Its existence thereof, today, is ignored and almost completely forgotten by the great masses of the people. Yet, within the etheric realm, Archangel Michael has sustained that temple, and from it, even to this day, the rays of absolute faith in God and the determination to do God’s Holy will, still pour forth to all who can accept this gift of grace. From this focus, beloved Archangel Michael and his legions continued to guard, protect and serve the mankind of Earth, for many ages. Archangel Michael now works 22 out of 24 hours each day, cutting away, with his Sword of Blue Flame, mankind’s mis-qualified energy, located in the astral realm, in which mankind abides. The temple was opened to mankind, to attend in projected consciousness, Archangel Michael invites, into his temple, all those who desire the acceleration of their own feeling of illumined faith, so that they, in turn, can be conductors of that faith to others.  Messengers of the heavenly host are constantly coming and going to and from this temple, carrying messages from the retreat. Angels who have taken human form, to help the race, are lovingly welcomed and re-charged within its walls, increasing their desire to serve God and man. Human beings, who have dedicated themselves to helping the angelic host restore the bridge between the divine nature of God and the outer consciousness of man, are filled with spiritual vigor by the proximity of the retreat and its pulsating energies.

Enter into the Temple of Faith! Find, within yourselves, the renewed strength and spiritual stamina required to continue in your service to the Earth and its evolutions! Speak to Lord Michael, strong and powerful, as the messenger of the Most High, yet gentle as a mother, to all who require assistance. It is not enough to “lean” upon the strength of Lord Michael and his ascended Legions of Light, for freedom from distress and discord in this cosmic hour. Now every chela of Lord Michael must learn to become a focus of illumined faith, himself!

Beloved ones, when the Ascended Masters, Archangels, and Elohim are ready to strike they only need one stroke! They as the Guardians of humanity are determined that this Light shall go on; and instead of one million people, ten million will be as earnest and determined as you are for the Happiness, the Freedom, the Limitless Supply, Perfection, Harmony and Blessings to your America and the world.

DECREE

“BELOVED MIGHTY I AM PRESENCE,” BELOVED ARCHANGEL MICHAEL, MIGHTY HERCULES, AND MIGHTY CYCLOPEA! STRIKE whatever Cosmic Christ Blue Lightning Purifying Force is necessary, into every destructive vortex in the ground of America and in the atmosphere over this Land; and take out at the Inner Level, all sustaining energy which has kept agitators and destructive forces energized in their destructive activities over the years past!

Thank you so much for all of your support of Destiny, The Open Door!
