Elohim Hercules and Amazonia's Etheric Retreat

Spiritual Retreat of the Elohim of the First Ray The retreat of Elohim Hercules and Amazonia is located in the etheric plane in and over Half Dome. On the west side of California's Sierra Nevada mountain range, this magnificent focus rises nearly a mile from the floor of Yosemite Valley. The etheric retreat is superimposed within the rock.

At this retreat, Hercules and Amazonia focus the energies of the will of God in this sacred power center, the throat chakra of the planet.

Description of Hercules and Amazonia's Retreat We enter through a large portal graced by two immense white pillars. The entrance hall is shaped as an octagon, each side leading to another room. We are immediately impressed by the fact that this is a busy retreatblue-flame angels ten feet high, mighty seraphim, cherubim, angel devas, as well as those ministering to all of the seven rays are coming and going, each intent on rendering a specific service for the Brotherhood. This octagon room glows with the intense love of the Elohim and the angels for the will of God. A bright blue permeates the atmosphere and is both inviting and invigorating to those who are privileged to enter here.

Etheric Flames Anchored in Physical Gem Stones Crossing this hall, we descend a flight of stairs to a circular room. In the center is the focus of a large blue-white diamond with the flame of Hercules and Amazonia blazing through it. In every retreat of the Great White Brotherhood, there is a focus of a flame, and usually the flame is anchored physically in some form of jewel.

The jewel of the first ray and the first-ray masters is the diamond. The will of God coalesces as the hardness of the diamond because it is unflinching devotion to the inner pattern, the fiery core of each man's identity. The diamond also symbolizes the crystal clarity of the soul and the precipitation of the Christ.

A circular stairway ascends around the periphery of this room to another round council chamber on the floor above. This room is built on a series of circular platforms, and at one side are the thrones of Hercules and Amazonia. There are accommodations for several hundred guestsmembers of the Great White Brotherhoodwho often meet with the Elohim to discuss ways and means of implementing the power of the will of God in the world of form.

Behind the thrones of Hercules and Amazonia is a passageway leading to another room. Those who attend council meetings pass through other doors to the right and to the left of the thrones into another circular chamber that contains the main focus of the flame of the will of God.

Training in Hercules' Retreat As you meditate on the will of God, you can allow your consciousness to move to this retreat because you have knowledge of its existence and an awareness of this octagonal forcefield. In your decrees to Hercules and your invocations, you can fill your aura and the sphere of light around the heart with the energies of the retreat of Hercules and Amazonia. .................................. Elohim Apollo and Lumina's Etheric Retreat

Spiritual Retreat of the Elohim of the Second Ray The spiritual retreat of the Elohim Apollo and Lumina is located in the etheric plane over Lower Saxony, Germany. Here the Elohim of the second ray focus the energies of the crown chakra of the planet.

On the outside of the building are three pillars in the formation of a triangle. These pillars are electrodes focusing a yellow star at the top of each one. There are three stories in the round dome of this etheric retreat, built in a parabolic curve.

The first floor is the largest, the second and third are progressively smaller. A

spherical focus of the flames of Apollo and Lumina is in the center of each of these three levels.

In the center of the first floor is a golden-yellow ball resembling a whirling galaxy, its component star clusters whirling at such a high frequency that they appear to be at perfect rest. In the center of the second floor is an identical sphere of brilliant sapphire blue. In the center of the upper room is another golden sphere like the one on the first floor. On each floor there is a spherical meditation room having as its focal point the spherical flame.

Each of these rooms accommodates approximately one thousand angels serving under Apollo and Lumina. Their glorious golden-yellow auras and robes make those who behold them feel as if they are in the center of the Great Hub.

Classrooms, laboratories, libraries and archives form a radial pattern out from the center of the meditation room on each of the three floors. At the first level there is a circular hallway following the circumference of the building. On either side of the hall are three-dimensional exhibits showing the operation of the law of cycles throughout the earth. There are several thousand such displays atop square pillars about four feet high.

Elohim of Wisdom Created the Planet's Cycles When the Elohim responded to the great command to go forth and create the earth, they did so through the initiation of cycles. The many cycles that are the components of our world actually make up its individuality. The cycles of earth, air, fire and water, of the mineral and plant kingdoms, of time and spaceall of these are illustrated. These cycles are based on the law of the twelve illustrated in the twelve bands of the causal body and the twelve signs of the zodiac, also known as the twelve hierarchies of the Sun.

Also illustrated are the cycles of cosmic beings and their releases of light to the planet, the cycles of civilizations, the cycles of photosynthesis and precipitation. The electronic forcefield within the square blocks allows these displays to be suspended in air and to have "live parts," moving flames, spirals, showing the endless complexities of our world and making them

simple through illustrations.

One could easily spend a hundred years studying these displays and being tutored by the great cosmic scientists who serve in Apollo and Lumina's retreat.

In preparation for the coming golden age, tremendous tides of illumination's flame are being released from this temple. The millions of angels who serve under Apollo and Lumina are ready to go forth to raise the consciousness of the entire earth to the level of the Christ in answer to the calls of the students.

Become an Electrode for Change The angels of Apollo and Lumina, together with the angels serving at the spiritual retreats of Archangel Jophiel and Christine, Lord Lanto, the God and Goddess Meru, Lord Gautama Buddha, Lord Himalaya, Lord Maitreya and Jesus and Kuthumi, the World Teachers, should be called upon on behalf of the enlightenment of all mankind, for they are equal in every respect to the tremendous task at hand.

Apollo's Flame: Golden Yellow With a Blue Sheath The action of the blue flame is a protective forcefield for the wisdom of the Christ. It precedes the manifestation of wisdom in the world of form, cutting through the density of human error and misqualified energy, paving the way for the manifestation of the Christ mind. Lumina's flame is a golden yellow, which follows after the flame of Apollo in the manifestation of the seven aspects of the Christ mind.

................................... Elohim Heros and Amora's Etheric Retreat

Spiritual Retreat of the Elohim of the Third Ray

The Elohim of the third ray, Heros and Amora, focus the energies of the heart chakra of the planet in their retreat located in the etheric plane over Lake Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

The forcefield of this temple and the temple itself are designed after the pattern of a budding lotus whose petals are not quite expanded. The temple is square, made of rose quartz, with giant petals rising at each corner and a tall steeple at the entrance. From the tip of each petal to the center of the sides of the temple extend two bands of a metallic-like substance that serve as conductors of light. There are three petal-shaped doors at the entrance of the retreat, which is in the tall spire in the center of one of the four sides.

Inside Heros and Amora's Retreat Going through the entrance down a central hallway, we approach the sunken altar of the love ray. Here the pink plume of the love flame burns in the center of the first floor. Three tiers descending into the floor form the bowl for the flame, which is surrounded by carved petals. Three other arteries proceed away from the altar to petal-shaped classrooms that are within the four squares into which the first floor is evenly divided.

There are four levels in this retreat, the second and third floors consisting of chambers used by the pink-flame angels who serve here and the masters who frequent the retreat. On the top floor is the throne of the Elohim in a large round room, an audience chamber, having the appearance of a disc with beautiful carvings in the stone walls.

Art Conveying the Action of Divine Love Throughout the retreat are sculptured art forms that convey the action of divine love to the universe, its cohesive power within the atom and in galaxies. Meditation upon these sculptures infuses the consciousness with the understanding of the laws of love and their operation at every level of consciousness, for they key into the patterns within the atom and the cell of man where the laws of God are written in his inward parts. Therefore, upon seeing these sculptures, the individual ties into that which he already knows, and he becomes that knowledge through meditation.

Effect of Third Ray Retreat in the Western Hemisphere It is extremely significant to have a retreat of the Elohim of Love as a focus of divine love in the Western Hemisphere. This retreat guides the destiny of North and South America.

Arc of Love: Elohim Retreat to Archangel Retreat The radiance of the pink flame from the heart of Heros and Amora together with that of Archangel Chamuel and Charity forms an arc of love connecting the retreat over Lake Winnipeg with that of the archangel and archeia of the third ray over St. Louis, Missouri.

This arc of love is for the union of the Western Hemisphere and the bringing in of the golden age. Canada and the United States of America are intended to work together in absolute unity of purpose to defend the Western Hemisphere against all inroads of bondage and all manifestations of anti-love.

Hemispheric Threefold Flame Action Canada, the United States of America and South and Central America are intended to form one cosmic action of the threefold flame: the wisdom of the heart of the United States, the great devotion and love of the people of South and Central America and the unlimited resources of the power ray in Canada.

........................................... Elohim Purity and Astrea's Etheric Retreat

Spiritual Retreat of the Elohim of the Fourth Ray The retreat of Purity and Astrea is located in the etheric plane over the Gulf of Archangel, the southeast arm of the White Sea, Russia. The retreat focuses the energies of the base-of-the-spine chakra of the planet. The etheric focus interpenetrates with the physical on the nearby plains. The Elohim have appointed hierarchs in charge of their retreatmasters serving on the blue and white rays. Their legions of white-fire and blue-lightning angels also tend the retreat and minister unto the flames.

One enters the retreat through a large white pyramid that is above ground. Three spires rise through this pyramid and above it. The center spire, extending through the capstone of the pyramid, is a yellow plume. The smaller spires on either side are pink and blue.

One enters the triangular-shaped room and sees, at the far end, three large flame fountains of purity against the backdrop of midnight-blue walls. In the center of the room is the main staircase descending to a very large complex, containing a network of classrooms, flame rooms and a central hall.

Flame Fountain of Cosmic Purity Immediately upon descending the stairs, we see another self-sustaining fountain of cosmic purity. Its radiation is so brilliant that we feel we are in the presence of the sun itself. Passing around the fountain, we descend another flight of stairs into the hall of the Elohim.

At the far end upon a series of ascending circular platforms is the throne of Purity and Astrea. The domed ceiling is a clear midnight blue mingling with deep violet, while the floor beneath our feet is snow-white stone. Four pillars form a square within the temple, and two more pillars are on the stairs we have just descended.

Stone tables and benches in the same white material are scattered in geometric design throughout the hall. The white stone is used throughout the temple, tinted with the colors of the seven rays in order to focus the purity of the white fire and the Christ consciousness that is expressed through each of the seven rays.

Focus of Astrea's Circle of Flame and Blue Flame Sword Six flights of stairs, three on either side of this great round hall, lead to other flame rooms and classrooms, one of which emits an intense, sapphire blue radiance. Descending into this room, we stand at the entrance and observe the magnificent flame of purity in powerful concentration.

To the left in midair is the whirling focus of Astrea's circle of blue flame, with the blue-flame sword, the pillar of fire, in the center. The velocity of the flame that forms the circle is so intense that it appears as if it is not moving at all; but we observe from the sparks of blue fire that are thrown off through the centripetal and centrifugal action of the whirling fire that it is indeed moving at great speed and with enough concentrated power of the will of God to cut through the most dense of any humanly misqualified energy.

If we ever needed convincing that the fire of God inherent in the very heart of the earth was sufficient to give mankind salvation, we have abundant proof here that God in us is sufficient to meet every crisis of our existence.

..................................... Elohim Cyclopea and Virginia's Etheric Retreat

Spiritual Retreat of the Elohim of the Fifth Ray The retreat of Elohim Cyclopea and Virginia focuses the energies of the third eye chakra of the planet.

Their retreat is located high in the Altai Range where China, Siberia and Mongolia meet, near Tabun Bogdo. The entire retreat is in the etheric realm, although congruent with the mountains.

Retreat Focuses the Emerald Ray The massive emerald crystal front resembles a church, having a high central steeple and two lesser steeples on either side. We enter a room that appears as though it has been carved out of the mountain, out of a deep jade colored rock. A Gothic vaulted ceiling, with pillars of green crystal and others of a marble stone effect, seems to support the very mountain itself.

A circular sunken room within a larger square room is the focus for the emerald ray. The blazing consciousness of the Elohim suspends therein an allseeing eye within a triangle. The six pillars surrounding the central altar are five-sided, crystal green. They remind us that we are in a temple dedicated to precipitation.

A Retreat Dedicated to Science and Healing We note a very active silence in the retreat, a reverence for the science to which all who serve here are dedicated. Our host takes us into several of the most important rooms, and as we walk, we note the hieroglyphs on the walls, which we are told are ancient records deciphered only for the most advanced initiates.

We enter a gold room, the precipitation room, decorated in green and gold velvet with jade, pulsing with the flame of green and gold. (The green of the precipitation flame is a Chinese green, which has more yellow in it and is tinged with gold, whereas the emerald green of the All-Seeing-Eye is more of a blue-green.) Here the great masters gather in council meetings to discuss the very destiny of the planet and to formulate plans for the implementation of the higher science through and among embodied mankind.

We are shown a fountain of healing in an indoor garden with some of the world's most beautiful flowers and tropical birds and one of the most rare botanical collections we have ever seen, including some specimens now extinct and others that are yet to be brought forth. Only advanced initiates are taken through the remaining rooms, laboratories, libraries and chambers where angels and masters serve the evolutions of the planet through their devotion to the cosmic science taught by the Elohim. ............................... Elohim Peace and Aloha's Temple of Peace

Spiritual Retreat of the Elohim of the Sixth Ray Peace and Aloha focus the energies of the solar-plexus chakra of the planet in

their retreat located in the etheric plane over the Hawaiian Islands. From the Temple of Peace, the Elohim radiate ribbons of Cosmic Christ peace over the entire earth as a network of the Cosmic Christ consciousness.

In addition to purple and gold flames, Mighty Cosmos' secret rays are focused in this retreat. The forcefield of the Temple of Peace may be visualized as a purple and gold heart, with a magnetic forcefield of alternating purple and gold concentric heart-shaped rings. The flame in the center of the heart is the flame of Cosmic Christ peace. This forcefield is superimposed over the temple.

Entering the Temple of Peace One enters the etheric temple in the etheric body and immediately feels the eternal presence of the flame of peace. The entrance hall leads into a round room; ten pillars grace the circular walls, which reflect the pulsations of the secret rays anchored in the center of the room. The altar of the secret rays is sunken in the center of the room. Three steps lead to a circular pathway surrounding the altar in which the secret rays are anchored.

Proceeding on past the altar of the secret rays and down a hallway, we descend a flight of stairs leading to the great Hall of Peace. This is actually in the center of the temple, architecturally patterned after the hall we have just passed through, except on a larger scale. There are twelve pillars on the circuit, evenly spaced on the circular walls that reflect the purple and gold of the Elohim of Peace anchored in the center dais.

Descending the three steps and walking around the focus, we come to the thrones of Peace and Aloha. Between the twelve pillars that adorn the sides of the temple are twelve doors leading to twelve circular anterooms, one of which is the room through which we just passed where the secret rays are focused. The flame of peace, being at the fulcrum of the Christ consciousness, is in the center of the temple, the throne of Peace and Aloha at the twelve o'clock line and the secret rays at the six o'clock line.

Initiates on the sixth ray study at the Temple of Peace under the careful guidance of the Elohim who are in charge. Those who are preparing to

embody on the sixth ray will spend some time here before re-embodying in order to learn how the Elohim focus the flame of peace through the Holy Spirit in nature and the activities of the builders of form.

Kuthumi Initiated in the Temple of Peace Prior to his embodiment as Saint Francis, when he prayed, "Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace!" beloved Kuthumi studied under the Great Initiator, Lord Maitreya, in his retreat in the Himalayas. Before taking on a physical body, he was brought to the Temple of Peace where his development of the flame of peace was tested through ordered steps of initiations that are conducted under the auspices of the hierarchy of that retreat.

Outside the great Hall of Peace, there are three other buildings (at the nine, twelve, and three o'clock lines). Here the Brotherhood of Peace works diligently, drawing up plans for the implementation of peace throughout the world.

Volunteers who study there while their body temples sleep or who are between embodiments come to the retreat to study the plans for peace. Here they take vows before Peace and Aloha to go forth as their representatives in the world of form to carry the flame of peace and to implement the plans of the Brotherhood of Peace.

Those who have journeyed to the Hawaiian Islands can attest to the great peace they feel there, which extends throughout the Pacific Ocean.

................................ Elohim Arcturus and Victoria's Retreat

Spiritual Retreat of the Elohim of the Seventh Ray The etheric retreat of Arcturus and Victoria is on the etheric plane near Luanda, Angola, Africa. This spiritual retreat focuses the energies of the seatof-the soul chakra of the planet.

Approaching the retreat of Elohim Arcturus and Victoria, we have the feeling that we are entering a mighty fortress. Occupying the space of approximately four city blocks, this massive four-story building reminds us of an ancient fortress built by one of the Mogul emperors. At the same time, the large towers at either of the front corners remind us of the Tower of London. These towers are large and round, with several tiers raised above the top story.

The building is composed of a rough purple stone having the appearance of velvet. The personal flames of Arcturus and Victoria are anchored therein: the purple of Arcturus to our left, the violet and pink of Victoria to our right.

We are led through the front entrance in the center, and we enter the great hall, which is two stories high and is finished with a highly polished purple and white stone. There are twenty-four pillars evenly distributed in the hall. The ceiling is a darker shade of purple, and the floor a lighter shade.

Violet Flame Focus of Mercy In the center is the magnificent focus of the violet-purple-pink flame. Intensely brilliant, yet gentle in radiation, it permeates the entire hall. It is the "Welcome Home!" of the Elohimthe AUM of their white-fire bodies, which they have chosen to focus as the comfort of the mercy flame to their guests.

At the second-story level of the hall is a balcony. Both above and below, one may enter chambers where council meetings are held under the direction of the Elohim. There is an audience room with thrones for Arcturus and Victoria composed of a purple crystalline substance, one darker than the other. The conference table and chairs, which nearly fill the room, are of a violet-colored marble.

Planetary Focus of the Purple Flame The planetary focus of the purple flame is located over the etheric retreat, an intense and fiery emanation from the heart of the Elohim precipitated from the great house. Its influence extends over the entire planetary body and can

be seen from a great distance, rising as a jet d'eau high into the sky, a literal pillar of fire by night and a cloud of witness by day.

The spiritual retreat of Arcturus and Victoria is dedicated to the freedom of all mankind through the alchemical action of the violet flame, the mercy of the Great Law, and the love of the Father-Mother God. Legions of violet, pink and purple-flame angels serve from here; and there is an intense activity of elemental life, who come and go as though this were truly their home on earth.

Other foci where Arcturus and Victoria have flames (but no retreats) are over Australia, the South Pole, the Pyrenees Mountains, Siberia, Victoria Island in northern Canada, and the southern tip of South America.
