Templo da Ressurreição
O Templo da Ressurreição fica no reino etérico da cidade de Jerusalém, na Terra Santa. Este retiro, foco da chama da ressurreição, está sob a responsabilidade de Jesus e Mãe Maria.
O templo está localizado em um prédio redondo ladeado por duas alas. Sua forma é branca e circular, circundada por sete corredores com graus de radiação variados ou graduados. No centro do templo está a chama da ressurreição, uma chama opalescente de madrepérola que eleva o corpo a esse estado imediatamente antes da [ascensão] onde a tríplice chama é equilibrada e os quatro corpos inferiores estão alinhados.
Oito pilares cercam o altar central. As pinturas nas paredes da sala circular de chamas retratam a elevação da consciência da humanidade através dos padrões e atividades dos indivíduos-chave que a Irmandade deste retiro projeta como os estágios que levaram à [era de ouro]. Notamos em uma seção de um dos quatro murais um grande patriarca com uma túnica de veludo rosa, lendo para as pessoas o livro da lei cósmica.
Angels of the resurrection flame serve in this retreat, ministering unto the flame and unto those souls who are brought to the resurrection chambers in the wings adjoining the central flame room. Here students are taught how to raise their vibrations to balance the threefold flame and to bring their four lower bodies into alignment in preparation for the ascension, the initiation that follows the resurrection.
There are sections of the retreat where those who have passed prematurely from the screen of life are brought to recuperate from the shock. Here they remain in a state of sleep in their etheric bodies until the action of the resurrection flame resuscitates their consciousness, removes the sting of death, and they awaken of their own free will and come forth to participate in the class work that is carried on in the retreat. After they have adjusted to the change and to their opportunities for service and training between embodiments, they are taken to other retreats of the masters for specialized training and to the etheric cities.
Archangel Uriel and Aurora, together with Gabriel and Hope, frequent this retreat to expand the flame of resurrection on behalf of mankind. By a like token, the Goddess of Spring, beloved Amaryllis, uses the Spirit of the Resurrection Flame each year on behalf of the nature kingdom.
Jesus welcomes us to this retreat:
I welcome you together with Mary the Mother and Saint Germain and the many who have gone before you who are serving here with me in the Temple of the Resurrection, the holy city that pulsates with life abundant above the place where our victory was and is forever one.
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!”[1] Our retreat stands to bear eternal witness to the Truth that we have outpictured in the world of form, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it![2]
