La Retraite du Lotus Bleu

Book 18
The Retreat of the Blue Lotus

The next night, Archangel Michael returned, after Maria had baked two dozen gingerbread cookies with her grandmother, and a colorful gingerbread house. “Like I promised,” he said, “we will go to the Retreat of the Blue Lotus of Lord Himalaya.”

“Is this also in the Himalayas?” asked Maria with a smile.

“Yes,” said Archangel Michael. “And I was wondering if along the way, you would like to take a peek at the Palace of White Marble, in the heart of the Himalayas. ”

“I would love to,” said Maria, as she donned a beautiful veil.

The Palace of White Marble had a central gold dome and four minarets. “We will not be able to go inside,” explained Archangel Michael. “There are three flames on the altar that focus cosmic glyphs of great power. The power of God contained in these glyphs is such that no mortal eye can gaze upon them and remain mortal.”

“That reminds me of the story of Moses,” said Maria. “God would not show his face to Moses. He told Moses that no man can see God and live.”

“Yes,” said Archangel Michael. “What this scripture fully means is that no man can see God and live as man. You can only see God when you have become God.”

“I loved the story of Moses, even though there were sad parts,” said Maria. “I especially liked the part about the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night, and about the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy of Holies, and also about the manna and the quail. I 'm sure God's food tasted great!”

“God loved his people,” said Archangel Michael, “but they were a stiff-necked generation—proud and rebellious and often discontented. That is why God said he could not go up with them to the land of milk and honey, lest he consume them. Moses asked God, 'Please show me your glory.' The fullness of God's glory is God's all-consuming fire. Moses could not ascend back to God in that life so he reincarnated two more times. He is now known in the heaven-world as Lord Ling, the God of Happiness.”

As Archangel Michael was speaking, Lord Ling appeared with a white beard, a golden robe, a staff in his hand and a big smile. “Yes,” he said, “you knew me as Moses who led you through the wilderness, but in that lifetime, I had not balanced my threefold flame. My service was still lacking in joy, and so I had to re-embody. I became the disciple of the Buddha, his beloved Ananda. In my final embodiment, I was Lord Ling, and lived in China in high attunement with the Brotherhood. Then I was able to serve my people through the balanced action of the threefold flame.

“Now I devote myself to the bright golden flame of joy on behalf of all evolving on Earth, recognizing that without this quality, one cannot ascend or render just service to God and to man.”

“I look forward so much to seeing God,” said Maria. “I hope I can see my Mighty I AM Presence some day.”

“When you are in the retreats, you come to know your Mighty I AM Presence step by step,” said Archangel Michael. “You become more and more of God. This is what happens too, when we go to the retreat of Lord Himalaya.”

“We must be off now,” Archangel Michael told Lord Ling. “The retreat of the Blue Lotus awaits.”

“May I join you?” asked Lord Ling. “I was so happy to see you. I will be even happier in the Retreat of the Blue Lotus, and the three of us together will be the happiest journey of all!”

Most certainly,” said Maria and Archangel Michael. “We would be happy for you to come with us.”

“I love lotuses,” said Maria, remembering a trip to the botanical garden. “Pink lotuses, white lotuses, blue lotuses, yellow lotuses, violet and purple lotuses... ”

“Do you know the significance of the lotus?” Archangel Michael asked.

“Please remind me,” said Maria.

“The lotus was the first flower that God placed on planet Earth,” said Archangel Michael. “It is an ancient elemental focus of love from the heart of Elohim. The lotus flower teaches us a lesson, because it often grows in the densest, dirtiest, smelliest mud or vase, where it remains unperturbed and blooms nonetheless. Its sheer magnificence and divine fragrance is a symbol of purity and overcoming.”

“I like sitting in a lotus posture to align my chakras,” said Maria.

Lord Ling smiled. “You will see that in the Retreat of the Blue Lotus, there are seven chambers, one on top of each other. As you move through these chambers, you move up the chakras of your being. Then, when you get to the heart chamber, you can no longer go with your physical body. You can only enter in your spirit body.”

“I would love to go to the higher chambers,” said Maria.

“If you study with Lord Himalaya and you give his decree,” said Archangel Michael, “your soul will rise to the higher chambers. Would you like to hear some of the decree that he teaches his students?”

“Yes,” said Maria.

Archangel Michael began to recite:

“Benign and precious is thy flame blessed Himalaya divine,
Pure and holy is thy name, Blue Lotus Master mine!
Come and teach me by wisdom's power, how to love God every hour,
How to magnify Christ Power and God Victory manifest!
Let me sit before thy throne, holy, centered in God alone,
And absorb thy holy tone, soundless wonder now made known!”

Maria, Lord Ling and Archangel Michael were flying over one of the highest mountains of the Himalayan chain when they noticed the seven chambers that were each separated by hundreds of feet of solid rock—though for the purposes of our story, we brought them closer together.

“Welcome to the retreat of the Blue Lotus,” said Archangel Michael. “You can see the spiral staircase that connects the first three chambers. Beyond that, the initiate must levitate or adjust his atomic pattern to enter through the walls. The top four chambers are reserved for deep meditation. This is where the ascended masters enter the great silence of Nirvana. Come, let us take you to the Great Hall.”

The Great Hall was at the base of the temple. Maria could smell the fragrance of the lotus in a floating pool carved in the floor. The hall was filled with people, and the brothers who were serving them were wearing white linen robes. These are yogic masters who come out of the body to teach their students,” said Archangel Michael. “This chamber can seat several hundred disciples who sit in a lotus posture, just like you!”

“This place is out of this world!” exclaimed Maria.

“Precisely,” said Lord Ling.

“Let me show you now what is behind the wall,” said Archangel Michael as he led Maria to the flame room.

“This is the Lotus Flame,” said Archangel Michael. “It is a focus of the threefold flame with an intense fiery action where the blue forms the petals of the lotus, the golden flame blazes from the center, and the pink radiance emanates therefrom.”

Maria noticed how the divine feeling permeating the retreat was one of clearest light. “I would like to sit in the flame room and give the decree to Lord Himalaya,” she said.

“Please do,” said Archangel Michael.

Maria finished nine sets of the decree, invoking the power of the three times three. Lord Himalaya entered her heart and began to speak through the still, small voice:

“Truly those who come here have purified their four lower bodies and regained that clarity of consciousness that enables each one to ascend the seven levels of God's consciousness in preparation for the ascension.”

As Lord Himalaya was speaking, Maria could feel her threefold flame expanding and glowing. She was so happy as she absorbed the radiance of the Blue Lotus Flame, that was magnifying her own threefold flame.

“Thank you so much, Archangel Michael, for bringing me to this retreat.” she said.

“You are most welcome, dear child,” said Archangel Michael. And with that, Maria woke up in her bed. And even though it was snowing outside, like on the Himalayan peaks, a new mantra was warming her heart.

“I call to Kashmir in God's dear name,
O thousand-petaled lotus flame,
Golden-robed brotherhood so wise and kind,
Raise our earth and all mankind.”

“Kashmir?” pondered Maria. “I wonder if my soul already knows where our next journey will be.”

Gratitude for the teachings of the ascended masters brought through the Summit Lighthouse, the I AM Movement, the Bridge to Freedom, the Theosophical Society and the Agni Yoga Foundation that inspired this book, and in particular, the book The Masters and Their Retreats, published by Summit University Press, along with a previous version published by the Ascended Master Teaching Foundation. All of the songs and decree excerpts quoted in this book are published by the Summit Lighthouse.
