In ''The Chela and the Path'', [[El Morya]] explains the purposes of the '''quarterly conferences''' held by [[The Summit Lighthouse]]:

<blockquote>
When The Summit Lighthouse was founded, I set the pattern of the quarterly conferences for the anchoring of the cycles of the year. By coming together four times a year to give and receive, [[chela]]s of the [[ascended master]]s render an incomparable service to the [[Great White Brotherhood]]. If you could behold our quarterly conferences from the inner planes, you would observe how the chelas build the forcefield in the physical plane by their devotions and by their oneness and how hierarchy lowers a grid that is the mandala for that class in the etheric plane over the physical place where the class is held.

The mandala is like a snowflake—unique in its design, never seen before, never to appear again. This geometric design suspended over the group is the focal point in which the energies of the group coalesce to magnetize, as a magnet of light, the releases of the ascended masters that are planned by the [[Karmic Board]] for that particular conference. Each lecture that is scheduled and each [[dictation]] that is given fills in a portion of the mandala, and the application of the students intensifies the action of the sacred fire that can be released to the planet.

Our conferences are held for the turning of the cycles of the year—[[winter solstice]], spring equinox, summer solstice, and autumn equinox. The physical changes occur prior to the conference and the light released from the [[hierarchies of the sun]] at the change of the seasons is then expanded by ascended and unascended beings serving together at the conferences for the fulfillment of a cosmic purpose on earth as it is in heaven.

Whenever possible, you should seize the opportunity to attend such a conference. What’s more, you should make possible the impossible through the [[alchemy]] of invocation to your own God Being. Not only are these conferences the most important experience of a lifetime in terms of the expansion of consciousness and the [[transmutation]] of untold substance in your world, but your willingness to serve as a coordinate on earth for the hierarchies of light will earn for you a momentum of good karma that you can ill afford to be without.

God needs man and man needs God. This is the law of the hallowed circle of the [[AUM]]. And when you find yourself standing in that circle, ever-widening, that is formed for the final release of the [[Lord of the World]] to the devotees at the conclusion of a conference, you will know that all that I have told you is indeed true; and by the thread of contact with hierarchy which you have established, your life will never be the same.<ref>{{CAP}}, chapter 10.</ref>
</blockquote>

The [[Angel Deva of the Jade Temple]] has spoken of the importance of our conferences:

<blockquote>
In each and every conference we have the roster of all who have ever attended a conference and all who have received the invitation or the announcement of the conference. And we go to the [[Keeper of the Scrolls]], and there is released a scroll stating what opportunities and [[initiation]]s are available to each disciple on the Way through the dictations and the blessings and the initiations given at that conference.

First and foremost, the initiation of getting to the conference is important. For if the chelas do not arrive, they do not receive the direct contact. And if they were not able to overcome the opposition to their attendance, then that shows that they are not ready to receive the next increment of light. I assure you that without fail, each devotee who attends each conference is given the opportunity for the next step of initiation.

Initiation is not a violent action. It is not abrupt. It is a flow. It is not a sudden staircase. It is a spiral—a spiral you can walk, a spiral that enables you to rise day by day, to ascend daily....

And so we also have with us the scroll for each one of you who is here, each one without exception. And it is written thereon what increment of light you are able to receive from each of the dictations that are given, and in which of your chakras....

Understand, then, that initiation is ongoing. Initiation is the application of the Law. It is participation in the conferences, which are for the turning of the cycles of planetary as well as personal cycles. And therefore see that when you participate in the conference you become a carrier of the light that is for the initiation of the evolutions and the lifewaves of Terra. Understand, then, that it is important to be at the right place at the right time for the right dispensations to occur.<ref>Angel Deva of the Jade Temple, December 29, 1975, “The Science of Healing Love,” published in {{POWref|63|16|, April 22, 2020}}</ref>

[[Mighty Victory]] has also spoken of the importance of attending the quarterly conferences:

<blockquote>
There is a polarity twixt the soul (sealed in the inner retreat of the heart with Christ) with the [[I AM Presence]]. It is this polarity that we have desired to establish by having you present at this ''Inner Retreat''!<ref>Refers to the 1981 Freedom Class, ''An Inner Retreat'', held at Camelot July 1–5, 1981.</ref>

And therefore, we have urged you to be with us. And we urge you again and again not to miss these quarterly conferences, not any hour or any day—whether you think it is important or no, or whether you think you have other business or other things to tend to. For we cannot build a consecutive spiral within you when you pick and choose and come and go and do not tarry in that flame.

For the hierarchy of light is real! And these conferences have been dedicated to ''seal you in the victory of your causal body''!”<ref>Mighty Victory, “The Sign of the Golden V,” {{POWref|24|37|, September 13, 1981}}</ref>
