Book 6
The Arabian Retreat

 

 

Maria pondered deeply what the master had said and resolved in her soul to bear the light of freedom to the whole world through her I AM Presence and through her spoken prayers. The following night, she made the call to the angels to take her to Jesus' retreat over the Holy Land again, as Jesus had instructed her to do.

Archangel Michael answered her prayer and took her soul to see Jesus again. Jesus was happy to see Maria and they spoke for a few moments about the events of her day. Then she looked into the master's beautiful blue eyes and politely asked, “Are there any other retreats nearby that we can visit?”

“Yes,” said Jesus, “I would love to show you another retreat I have in the Middle East. It's just a little ways away, on the Arabian Peninsula.” As he said these words, Jesus, together with Archangel Michael, took Maria by the hands, and the three flew over the Holy Land in their finer bodies until they reached the Arabian desert.

“Soon you will see the Arabian Temple where I serve with Lady Master Nada, who is the Chohan of the Sixth Ray of loving ministration and service,” said Jesus. Maria could see a caravan of camels trekking fastidiously to an oasis, with a few scattered palm trees.

“This land was once a fertile green valley long ago,” said Archangel Michael. “It was also the land of the Prophet Mohamed who founded the religion of Islam. My brother Gabriel appeared to him in a cave and worked with him for years. The Prophet Mohamed even took a soul flight from the Arabian desert to Jerusalem, where is now the blue mosque, and spoke about his experience ascending to the seventh heaven while he was there.”

 

 

“I don't know much about Islam,” said Maria. “What is the seventh heaven?”

“It is the seventh level of the etheric octave, “said Archangel Michael. “There are thirty-three levels altogether.”

“Islam is one of the eight major world religions,” said Jesus, “together with Buddhism, Confucianism, Judaism, Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Taoism and Hinduism. In every age, God sent avatars and prophets and messengers to help people find their way back to God. Sadly over time, many of the world religions have strayed from the purity through which they were established. Islam was founded on the premise that there is nothing but God—La illaha il'Allah. It was intended to manifest and uphold the values of peace and brotherhood. Sadly, many have used this religions for just the opposite. Nevertheless, we find sincere and devoted people of good will in all of the world's religions.”

“I like the thought that there is nothing but God,” said Maria.

 

 

“Mohamed loved me too,” said Jesus. “It is the Father's will for all of the world religions to respect and appreciate one another in Christ. The three Middle Eastern religions—Judaism, Christianity and Islam—are intended to work together as a threefold flame in love and fraternal cooperation. This is what the angels teach the children at my retreat over the Holy Land. Killing on behalf of one religion over the other has gone on far too long on this planet. It is gravely karma-making, and is completely unacceptable in God's plan for the Age of Aquarius, which must be based on the inherent human and divine right of Freedom of Religion.”

“I understand,” said Maria. “Now, can you see the Arabian retreat?” asked Jesus.

 

“I don't see any temple,”said Maria, squinting her eyes, as they continued to fly over the Arabian desert. “Where is it?”

“That's because the retreat is under the desert,”said Jesus.

“Really?” asked Maria incredulously, opening her eyes very wide.

“Yes,” Jesus replied. “It is a complex of buildings that were hermetically sealed by the ascended masters before a great cataclysm covered them with desert sands. The tops of the buildings are now one hundred and twenty-five feet beneath the surface. We enter the subterranean city through this opening,” Jesus said, pointing at a ledge between some rocks.

“It looks like it's wide enough for cars,” said Maria excitedly.

 

“When our brothers and sisters of light come to our retreat,” said Jesus, “after they come in, the sands close up and it doesn't even look like anybody was ever there!”

“Wow,” said Maria, “that is very stealth!”

Jesus smiled. “Yes, the byword of our Brotherhood is 'To know, to dare, to do and to be silent.'”

“It reminds me of the story of the cave of Alibaba and the forty thieves!” said Maria.

“Yes,” said Jesus. “The book One Thousand and One Nights was inspired from our retreat.”

Maria, Archangel Michael and Jesus flew into the opening and then took an elevator down almost four hundred feet. Now, they were completely hidden beneath the desert. They came into a gigantic chamber with columns three hundred feet high, decorated with hieroglyphs like in ancient Egypt. On the floor were carved the twelve signs of the zodiac as the cosmic symbols of the twelve houses of the sun. These signs were slightly different from the signs of the zodiac in the outer world as they represent cosmic hierarchy, and not human creation.

 

 

Maria marveled at the underground city that opened before her very eyes. “Every seven years, the International Council of the Great White Brotherhood is held in this subterranean city,” said Jesus. “The ascended masters gather here from their retreats all over the world and we are often joined by ascended masters and cosmic beings from other stars and planets of light throughout cosmos.”

“Every seven years?” asked Maria.

“Yes,” said Jesus. “The number seven is a sacred number. It represents the seven color rays of God, the seven days of the week, and the seven musical notes. All of the numbers are sacred, as the science of mathematics is truly the science of God. Each number holds a special significance.”

Jesus continued. “The numbers that the world now uses, including the concept of zero, originated in India, and then were adopted and further developed by Arabic mathematicians not far from our retreat. This all took place during what has been called the Golden Age of Islam. This auspicious time period included many scientific and medical discoveries, as well as the flourishing of literature, poetry, art and religious tolerance. The brothers and sisters of our retreat had a profound influence on the advancements of that time. They assisted scholars and scientists and artists on inner levels, for the betterment of humankind.

 

 

“The science of numbers was transmitted to Europe by Arabic scholars, along with discoveries in astronomy, medicine and other sciences, which are really the study of God and man. Even the term 'algebra' comes from the Arabic and means 'the reunion of broken parts,' which is a divine science. God is always seeking to mend the broken parts of our life and to retrieve the lost fragments of the soul.”

“I have another question,” asked Maria. “Why was there cataclysm in the desert ?”

“Cataclysm happens,” said Jesus, “when the weight of the karmic misqualified energies of mankind becomes so heavy on the planet that the elemental forces of nature have to shake it off. The ascended masters never want cataclysm to happen. They have a retreat that was specifically established to help avoid or mitigate cataclysm. It is called the Sacred Retreat of the Blue Flame and is located in the islands of Fiji near Viti Levu. It is an entire city comprised of laboratories under the ocean, in a way similar to some of the laboratories that we have in our city here under the desert.

 

 

“The retreat was founded by the cosmic being Surya as a focus of the God Star Sirius, before the sinking of the continent of Lemuria. At that time, the Fiji Islands were among the highest mountain ranges on the entire continent.

“Beloved Surya, Cuzco, and the Brotherhood of Suva form a large team of ascended master scientists specialized in the fields of magnetic and physical sciences. They continuously monitor the Earth's crust, including volcanoes and fault lines and pressure chambers, to assist in preventing cataclysm.

 

 

“These masters focus the power of love—an intense blue lined with pink—to hold the balance for earth's magnetic poles. Divinely created precision instruments and computers help keep planet Earth in its exact orbit around the sun. These instruments are sensitive to the slightest raising or lowering of light patterns on earth, down to the aura of every embodied individual. They make the necessary adjustments for atomic explosions, as well as for the weight of human effluvia that rises and falls, to help keep Earth in orbit.

“Anytime the violet flame is offered by those who are in embodiment, the violet flame action helps these masters immensely in holding the balance for the earth and making the necessary adjustments. There was much regret when cataclysm had to take place, as in the sinking of the continent of Lemuria, but God has decided to save the Earth and to give us the opportunity to lower Saint Germain's Great Golden Age of Aquarius into the physical plane.”

“You are going to really like this room,” said Jesus, as he led Maria into a special room in the retreat.

“Oh, I can hardly wait,” said Maria, wiggling her toes, which is something Maria would do whenever she became super excited! They entered the television chamber, where a large television reflector hung on the wall. Just by turning the channel and the dial, they could see any activity going on on the planet, anywhere on the globe.

Jesus let Maria try it and so she spoke into the remote control: “Show me my parents.” Instantly she could see them, sleeping soundly in their bed, and she could even hear her father softly snore as her mother turned the other way!

 

 

“Can I see me?” asked Maria.

“You can,” Jesus said. And as the dial turned, she could see her body laying in bed, hugging her favorite Lammie.

“That is so amazing,” Maria exclaimed. “To be in two places at once!”

“Yes,” said Jesus with laughter. “We do that a lot.” His voice pealed like angel chimes.

“The master K-17 often uses this room to see what is happening in various parts of the earth. He will even watch the secret meetings of fallen ones in embodiment. K-17 heads the Cosmic Secret Service, whose members ward off threats to individual and world freedom, and all that seeks to dismantle the family as the foundation of the Aquarian Age society.

“K-17, said Maria. “That is a strange name.”

 

“That is his secret service name,” said Jesus. “K-17 is truly a friend of man. He and his team are the closest masters to the physical octave. You can even call to them when you lose something. They uphold the byword and the standard that 'The Earth Is the Lord's and the Fullness Thereof!'

“K-17 helps Lanello and other ascended masters to thwart the nefarious plans of the fallen ones, who seek to destroy the earth, depopulate God's children and hoard all of the abundant supply of the world economies for their own benefit. He reports back to us and we come up with strategies and solutions to defeat these fallen ones. The good news is that the timetables of the fallen ones and their evil plotting are falling behind schedule, and they are being exposed for who they are and for what they have been doing! This allows the Sons and Daughters of God to rise up and take dominion over the earth again!

“K-17 loves to enlist the help of the ascended master Ray O' Light: 'O God! O Fearlessness flame! Legions of Ray of Light come forth! You can give this mantra anytime fear comes upon you. God's fearlessness flame is a brilliant green tinged with gold.

“Ray O' Light told us how he earned his commission and mastery as the bearer of Fearlessness Flame. He said, 'When I was in embodiment, I walked the path of initiation, and I came to the place where all of the fallen ones and their demons of the night assailed me, to take from me my own blessed Christ awareness. So I knelt in prayer and called out to God, to deliver me from these hordes of darkness. I said, 'God, you are greater than all of this. Your flame and your light are able to consume the darkness.' I called for the light of Christ to dissolve all that would assail me in the hour of my victory. 'In that moment I faced the entire momentum of fear on the planet projected upon me, yet I concentrated on faith in God. After many, many hours of prayer, I received the vision of Fearlessness Flame descending from the great God star as a pencil light.

“'That fire came right to the place where I was kneeling in prayer, and revealed to me the components of the chemistry of God! I saw elemental beings ensouling that ray. I saw the intense white and emerald light of Fearlessness Flame piercing the darkness. I saw the angelic hosts of light and heard the music of the spheres carried in Fearlessness Flame. 'The ray descending burst as a fire of God around me, and I was enveloped in Fearlessness Flame. It burned through me and through my soul and through my chakras and through my four lower bodies until I became that flame! I realized then that God had placed upon me the greatest initiation of fear, so that I could receive the greatest blessing of its antidote.

 

 

“'God then said to me, 'So shall it be for all eternity. Thou art Ray of Light, and thy mission unto all life shall be the illumination of mankind. You shall bring forth the radiance of the light of Alpha and Omega to help the children of the light press on through the night of the fallen ones until their pride and tyranny dissolves, along with all of their entities of doubt and fear.'

“This was the path that I also walked on, together with my disciples,” said Jesus, “when I cast out demons. It was through Fearlessness Flame that I was also to prove the victory of life over death. When darkness comes upon you, you must just keep moving, like a car must keep moving as it drives through a snowstorm—even inch by inch sometimes.

“Ray O' Light told us he would help us in an instant when we breathe even the whisper, 'O God, O fearlessness flame, legions of Ray O' Light come forth! He told us, 'Imagine what a world can be without fear.' He saw the glistening crystals of the mind of God—the creativity, the divine art and culture, and all that life can be when it is free of doubt and fear and death. That is why he conveys with K-17 and other masters on the green ray these electrodes of consciousness that will bring to Terra her new birth.”

Maria smiled. Then, Jesus showed Maria chambers where new techniques of art and music and science and governance were being developed. There were also chambers where the records and the treasures of ancient civilizations were kept that would one day would come forth again, for the edification and blessing of the world.

“Some day soon,” said Jesus, “when we have reached a Golden Age civilization on earth, all of the inventions and riches that are kept here and in other ascended master retreats throughout the world—like those you saw in the Cave of Symbols—will be released to people for the right use of God's energies, and to assist in their souls' ascending freedom.”

 

 

The room Maria liked the most was the Cosmic-Ray Chamber, where students are taught how to use the seven rays of God and direct them for the blessing of all mankind. “Here with El Morya we can say,” said Jesus, quoting from the Darjeeling master's Ashram Rituals: “I AM focalizing the white light on this planet, leading colors, vibrations, virtues, rays and races to their divine oneness in Spirit. By the rainbow spheres of God, I AM holding the children of the Light in pure blue, pure rose, pure yellow, pure green, pure purple, pure violet of the Great Blue Causal Body.”

“I love all of God's colors so much,” said Maria, as they returned to the Great Hall. Jesus told Maria she could bless the world as well, by giving the decrees that were dictated by the ascended masters on all of the seven rays of God.

Archangel Michael was watching Maria read the hieroglyphs on the columns. She was trying to decipher the meaning of the little pictures that looked like owls and eyes and other symbols she could not understand. “I don't fully understand what they mean,” said Maria.

 

 

Archangel Michael reassured her. “They are all part of the very ancient Egyptian language. Did you know that the ancient Egyptians were very, very close to God? The hawk is a symbol of Horus, who represents the Christ. The feather represents Ma'at, the divine principles of truth, cosmic order, justice and balance. The Sphinx here represents the dual nature of the Egyptian pharaohs, who were considered to be at once both earthly leaders and divine beings. The eye symbolizes the healing power of the protection of the Eye of Horus, who represents the All Seeing Eye of God through the spiritual pineal gland in the center of the head.”

“Now these all make more sense!” said Maria.

“I will take you to another retreat where there are very many hieroglyphs,” said Archangel Michael. “It is Serapis Bey's Ascension Temple at Luxor.”

“I studied there when I was a child,” said Jesus, “during my last lifetime on earth. When I came to the temple for the first time, the Hierophant of Egypt wanted me to join the advanced classes but I decided to start at the very beginning, so I wouldn't miss a single step. My mother Mary taught me to sew and she would always remind me, 'No dropped stitches!' So I wanted to honor the temple in the same way.”

 

Maria reflected on what Jesus had just said “Do you mean the temple in Egypt or the temple of God in your being?”

Jesus smiled again, and Maria gave him a very big hug, with all of the love that she could muster.

Then Lady Master Nada appeared. “I wanted to welcome you here, my dear, and hope you will come back and visit us again soon. I AM Lady Master Nada, and I also minister to the children of the world. My flame is the divine ray of ministration and service.”

 

 

“You are so beautiful!” exclaimed Maria. “I am so happy to finally meet you!”

“We will meet again soon,” said Lady Master Nada. Then, Maria took Archangel Michael's hand, waved good bye and the two flew westward to Luxor, to the Ascension Temple that overlooks Egypt.

“I am so happy to go there,” Maria told Archangel Michael, as the Nile River and the etheric retreat of Serapis Bey gleamed on the horizon.
