The Call to Come to Our Retreat in the Far East

     This cosmic moment I call unto you on the winds of Liberty: Come unto me! I have called, I have beckoned unto your soul. This night have I called. You who are here, Come unto me!

     You do not think that you can come to our retreat here in the Far East.1 Let me tell you, you can - and you will need no human aid. For your consciousness may travel on wings of infinite harmony into our domain; and then I am sure that we will be able to teach you in a manner calculated to free you from the dregs of your own human feelings, delusions, confusions, and problems.

     Here you will be free to receive the blessing of higher initiation conferred upon you first as an idea, as a concept. You will receive from us the direction to return to your body temples with the understanding that your feet, having walked upon the white marble of our retreat, will have received the blessing of our light - not only your feet, but also your entire consciousness,2 that you may understand that the way to cosmic initiation is to become involved with those beings of light, that band of holy light ones, who are with me.

     I have no intention of arranging an outer polytechnic display. I have no intention of seeking to impress you or your outer minds with the efficacy of my call. I simply call to you tonight - I call to you and I command your spirits free!

     And here is what I am going to do: I have asked that an electrode of infinite light energy be formed in the cosmic ethers around you and that that electrode shall be energized and that the energizing of that electrode shall signal the ascent of your souls, in garments of light substance, to our domain.

     But what energies do we use? We use the energies of the sacred mantrams that have been uttered here and in all parts of the Far East for thousands and countless thousands of years. The intonation of these mantrams by the sincere and faithful has evoked an enormous response from the cosmic hierarchs themselves on behalf of those followers of our Brotherhood in the Far Eastern part of the world and also many adepts and students of the Light in the West.

     Let it be clear, then: We are invoking tonight on your behalf an alchemical experiment of considerable dimension. Let it be clear that we expect the involvement of all of you who are capable of participating in this event so that you will understand that a more than ordinary experience is scheduled for you. But you must participate willingly, for we will not in any manner force you to do anything against your will. But we will certainly assist your divine will in fulfilling in you the fiat of this cosmic moment.

     The auspiciousness of this occasion - the call of disciples in the West to our retreat in the East - is an event of considerable importance, for it is experimental in nature and seldom practiced in a group as you see it now being practiced here by our request. We urge you to understand that this electrode is being affixed directly above your crystal cord.3 And when I say this, I want you to understand that it is also extended down from your God Presence until it is touching your aura within one quarter of an inch of your head.

     While the angels of record are affixing these magnificent electrodes in place, the great ones in the temples and tabernacles of the Spirit in the Far East are readying themselves for this assault upon the bastions of the West. For it will be done by the winds of the Holy Spirit and it will be conferred upon you, one and all, who will receive it. And you will travel, then, through the cosmic ethers with the speed of light to that place where we are gathered together, that you may hear those chants (if your spiritual ears are opened) that we make to invoke from the Deity those enormous responses that enable this planet to sustain its momentum around the cosmic sun.

     Do you understand that I am speaking about those initiations that are transpiring in the souls of the faithful? This is a great occasion for the West. It is the initiating in humanity of certain responses which hitherto required a long novitiate in preparation; but because of our request before the cosmic lords and councils, it has been granted to you tonight - if you are ready to receive it.

     If you are not ready, so signify by expressing in your heart that you would rather not receive it, and the angels of record will pass you by. If you are ready to receive it, then prepare yourselves for your anointing by the energies that are being gathered from the four corners of the earth and specifically from the disciples here in the Far East who have prepared themselves at inner levels to serve the needs of humanity by invocation and the spirit of cosmic devotion. For the devotion and the devotional chants that are preparing the platform here are calculated to invoke from the solar system a response that will be in itself an initiation to this planet Earth.

     Do you understand that cosmic beings are preparing to anoint the body of the earth? I say to the angels of record: Are all the electrodes fixed in place?

     There are three who have not yet received the electrode. We will wait. There seems to be some debate in the minds of two or three people as to whether or not they are worthy of our proffered gift. Let me hasten to assure you that your own beloved Holy Christ Self is worthy.

     Now that we have removed the recalcitrance of some in the group, we are prepared to go on with the cosmic experiment. The electrodes of all who desire to receive this transcendental experience are now in place. We are prepared to begin the first release of the charge of our vital energies. Let them flow! [pause] There will be a step-up in the general heat within these rooms. Do not be distressed. This will precede a coolness that will come - and a calmness and a peace and an inner knowing that you will be safely raised and elevated in consciousness until you will be able to experience for yourself the initiation of allowing your consciousness to flow along safe lines of light where transmittal is assured into the domain of the cosmic ones who preside over our temple. [pause]

     Now they are beginning the chant.

     From the censers they have released the sweet incense.

     The coolness is beginning.

     The calmness is beginning.

     The faith is being affixed to the consciousness of the disciples.

     The white-robed ones are in place and the flame is upon the altar - the flame of initiation, the flame of purity. Many of the cosmic monks so-called, the devotees of the Spirit (I think you would call them "cosmic monks"), are now trooping into the vast marble chapel we have erected here in the etheric realm in the Himalayas.

     [Lord Maitreya chants vowels through the Messenger.]

     Come! Let us arise and enter into the temple in the skies over the Himalayas and be at peace.

     The formation of the cosmic figure of Kuan Yin is upon the altar. She will soon replace it by her gracious presence and the oil in the lamps of Mercy will be lit.

     Let us remember, our brothers and sisters, that cosmic events are transpiring all around us. Let us remember the stairsteps that lead to the stars affixed within the consciousness as holy centers - symbolic in the microcosm but real in the Macrocosm. Let us remember those invisible sun bodies that exist in the universe unknown to any because of the polarization of these bodies dimension-wide.

     Let us remember, then, that in the higher spheres of initiation those cosmic associations and affiliations are continuously taking place and that whereas there often rest on the body of humanity upon the earth the afflictions of life as the result of individual karma, in the realm of perfection and purification, the spirit of mankind (often while he sleeps) has the privilege of attending our temples and entering into those rituals of purification and understanding whereby the soul is at last free. In case you are wondering about this transmission tonight, let me assure you that it is being made in the West by telepathy. We are telepathing our words to the brethren in the West whom we have invited to our retreat that they may understand the meaning of our functions as brothers in white.

     Let the body no longer, then, be a garment that you desire to wear. Trust the angels who have brought you thus far and realize that they will take care of all of your body functions. If you have not been successful in entering in to the full attunement with your Presence whereby you could actually leave your body, let us say to you that your consciousness can! And therefore, let your consciousness no longer be rooted and wedded to the physical body.

     Rise three feet into the air [in consciousness].

     Rise ten feet into the air.

     Rise above the building fifty feet into the air.

     Rise toward the stars one thousand feet into the air.

     Move toward the East with the speed of light.

     Labor in spiritual things and faint not. Understand that the needs of humanity are very great. Understand that your prayers are heard. Understand that Light can be invoked upon the entire human race.

     We will now chant together the ancient chant of the Orient, OM MANI PADME HUM.4 Together:

     OM MANI PADME HUM OM MANI PADME HUM

     OM MANI PADME HUM OM MANI PADME HUM

     OM MANI PADME HUM OM MANI PADME HUM

     O jewel in the sacred lotus of God's heart, release the love ray to humanity today! Let the love and the strength and the devotion of Almighty God for humanity be felt! Let it be felt first in the hearts of the babes that they may receive comfort from God. Let it be felt by the little children that they may receive grace from God. Let it be felt also by their angels, who may receive additional grace from God. Let it be felt by the sacred brothers in white all over the planetary body!

     And now I say, in an almost unparalleled request, let it be felt by all mankind according to their highest capacity to receive! The steps are before humanity. The doorway to the temple - "Man, Know Thy-self!"5 - is opening. The figure of the Cosmic Christ Self within invokes for all the realization that because they have a divine Mediator - O Lord Most High and Most Holy - that divine Mediator will proclaim to the world:

     Lo, I AM thy point of contact with thy God Presence! And I bring to all the temples, viharas, mosques, and places of worship upon the planetary body a special and specific release of the angelic host calculated to make mankind aware of the potential of initiation for all.

     Tonight we ask and we pray for this planet Earth the special function of being a world tabernacle. Let us make every atom and cell of the planet to sing! Let us make the hearts of men to cling to their divine garments of light! Let us bring into the world the Hope of the world, the Light of the world, through the universal Christ consciousness. And let us make men to see that there is hope in this tremendous Light.

     O Light, intensify!

     O Light, intensify!

     O Light, intensify!

     My invocation has reached the Central Sun, and the Light upon the planetary body is intensifying! It is flowing like a river of light over the planetary body until the very hills are rejoicing! And the hopes of cosmic merriment fill the hearts of the ascended beings who have long served mankind - often without recompense, often without recognition from many. And the angels, the blessed angels, how they have served and how they have given their life!

     As you know, at Shigatse a great organ has been created by beloved Kuthumi which he plays for those who are departing from this world and therefore brings to their consciousness the melody and harmony of higher spheres. Tonight I have asked that the great organ at Shigatse be opened to your own inner hearing that you also may receive this great radiance of the giant organ played by your own brother Kuthumi. There will be a pause as we now ask you to listen to the transmittal of the radiation and music from the higher spheres of light through the great organ of the Brotherhood at Shigatse. [pause]

     The bell-like tones you hear with inner ears are the communion with far-off worlds. They are the melody of the sacred spheres. They are the consummation of the love of planetary bodies ascended. They are the love of cosmic beings, of archangels and their archeiai, of Elohim and sacred fire beings seldom heard upon this planetary body - composed into a love symphony by your own beloved Kuthumi.

     And now, as we draw the curtains of light upon the amphitheater of our retreat in the etheric realm, we ask the angels of record and accompanying angels to guide you safely back to your body consciousness. We ask you, as you arrive very quickly with the speed of light over your focus of light, to descend now from the higher levels of one thousand feet, down to the ten-foot level, down to the three-foot level, once again to return safely to your body consciousness, intact with full breath and full record and memory of this event, wherever the Great Cosmic Law will allow.

     And we ask that this be extended also to all who will hear this recording, that they, too, may come to our retreat and our abode, that they may dwell with us in thought and in spirit and invoke in the crucible of human experience those dramatic confrontations that will enable men to see at last the reality and purposes of life, that they will no longer be concerned with the trivial manifestations upon the planet of darkened doings but will understand the awakening of the beautiful Christ consciousness within them.

     And now that you have once again returned to human levels, may I extend to you evolving upon this planetary body, from the Far East, from our etheric home of light, a welcome to visit us often in your finer bodies while your physical bodies sleep. And then let your souls awaken within our retreat that you may have the knowledge and the desire and the beautiful concepts we desire to convey to you.

     For initiation is the conferment of mantles of accomplishment, of cosmic achievement. Initiation is the personal accomplishment of the soul, one with the Holy Christ Self, wedded to the God Presence and invoking in the human levels of thought and feeling those transcendental experiences which are the forte of our radiance released unto humanity today.

     I, Lord Maitreya, lay at your feet my own crown of cosmic achievement as the potential of your own lifestream, as the potential of fulfillment for humanity. For men are intended to be a complete manifestation of the Cosmic Christ in all of the beauty and wonder of solid communion between themselves and the living God.

     Know you not that the living God is a living fire, a consummate spiritual being, creative in essence and manifesting and magnifying himself in all ascended and God-free beings? Well, then, beloved hearts, won't you accept him tonight within the forcefield of your own consciousness, within the chalice of your own being, within the strength of your own heart, and within the strength of your own offering of yourself unto the living God!

     So, then, there will be born upon the planetary body many wondrous babes, coming at last into the realization of spirituality conferred upon them as a mantle of strength shining in its righteousness that will ultimately do as in the case of Elijah6 - transport them in a chariot of living fire into those other octaves of achievement which are before you.

     The dawning doorway of our initiation is ever before you! Let none ever forget that magnificent doorway with those beautiful carvings of cosmic crosses upon it. Let them never forget the angels of record who stand to the right and to the left of that doorway, and let them never forget that lamp of cosmic knowledge that is carved just above the lintel itself.

     O beloved ones, you are welcome here again and again and again - until at last the refreshment of your souls has gained for you a crown that will not perish from the universe, that is a crown of personal achievement under the aegis of the spiritual Brotherhood and the fraternity of light who are with you now and confer upon you the mantle of our blessing.

     May eternal peace abide with you always.
