Inside the Grand Teton Mountain
“Now are you ready to go see the Grand Teton Retreat?”
asked Archangel Michael.
“Yes,”
said Maria with a big smile, so off they went! The Grand Teton
Retreat is the largest retreat in North America of the ascended
masters, who are known as the Great White Brotherhood for their
auras of white Light. The Grand Teton Retreat was different from
anything Maria had ever seen, because it was inside the heart
of the mountain.

As
Maria and Archangel Michael approached the entrance, Maria admired
the towering majesty of the Grand Teton over Jenny lake near Jackson
Hole Wyoming. She could even perceive with the All-Seeing Eye
of God the little bunnies hopping down below, the deer grazing
in the tranquil meadows and the trout jumping for joy in the Snake
River.
“Look!”
Maria said to Archangel Michael, pointing down below. There among
some fallen rocks, a baby black bear was scrambling up the mountain
to find its mother. Further down, a little elk stopped to gaze
up at the sky, as if he could see Maria in her spirit body, while
a big papa moose continued swimming undisturbed. All the wildflowers
were in bloom, and the air smelled sweetly of honey, as the bees
buzzed very efficiently to gather pollen and nectar.

Maria
and Archangel Michael flew up over a high glacier meadow into the
hidden door of the retreat that Mark Prophet said could sometimes
be seen through the window of the Chapel of the Transfiguration
just inside the park's south entrance. Archangel Michael explained
to Maria that the Grand Teton was the first place on earth that
he and the archangels and angels touched down millions of years
ago, before even the Age of Lemuria. He told her that the Tetons
were a very special to the archangels and to all of the masters
of the heaven world.
Archangel
Michael also explained that in this retreat during winter and
summer solstice, the Lords of Karma gather to read the petitions
sent by sons and daughters of God in embodiment who write to them,
and grant special dispensations and blessings of grace. He told
Maria that she should never, ever forget to write her letter to
the Lords of Karma.
“How
do you write a letter to the Lords of Karma?” Maria asked.
“Well,” said Archangel Michael, “You can ask them
to help you with your plans and projects and also tell them what
prayers or other service you will render to help God. Then, you
carefully burn the letter and the angels will take your words up
to the etheric plane.”
Archangel
Michael further explained that fire comes from the etheric plane
and is the element that bridges the physical and the etheric planes.
He shared with Maria the story of how Sanat Kumara, the Ancient
of Days, brought the gift of fire back to the earth and also reignited
the spiritual flame in the hearts of mankind after the sinking of
Lemuria, when people had devolved to being cavemen. “So before
the Fourth of July and before New Year's Day, make sure to write
to the Lords of Karma, because they will read your letter, and you
can put in your letter everything that you would like to see that
is good for you and your loved ones, and also for your nation and
the entire earth.”
“I
won't forget,” said Maria, “I will write my letter before
the Fourth of July.”
Archangel
Michael then explained that the Lord of the World Gautama Buddha
comes to the Grand Teton every New Year's Eve to release the thoughtform
of God for the planet. The thoughtform is a picture with words that
anchor the will of God for the planet.As Maria and Archangel Michael
approached the glacier near the hidden opening in the mountain,
Alphas, the gatekeeper of the Grand Teton retreat stepped forth.
He welcomed Maria and Archangel Michael, as two great bronze doors
opened wide between the rock formations. Behind the bronze doors
was an elevator. Maria and Archangel Michael got into the elevator
and descended two thousand feet into the heart of the mountain.
Stepping out, they beheld a giant reception hall with magnificent
tapestry, heavily embroidered with silk and jewels. Maria was so
surprised to meet the Chinese master Confucius as she stepped forward.

“Welcome
Maria,” said Confucius. “Lord Lanto and I came from
China long ago to anchor the ancient wisdom of the East in the
heart of America through this retreat. We focus here the flame
of illumination to all on planet earth, and especially here in
America, because America is destined by God to become the cradle
for Saint Germain's great Golden Age of Aquarius.”
He explained to Maria that the Grand Teton retreat is the busiest
etheric retreat on Earth, with ascended master conclaves and students
of the Light who come in their soul to receive training, always
in pursuit of greater wisdom He told Maria how the Ascended Master
Godfre, who was embodied as George Washington, visited the Grand
Teton retreat, and recorded his experiences and adventures with
the ascended masters in the books Unveiled Mysteries
and in The Magic Presence.

\
He
also told Maria there was a retreat right behind the Grand Teton
Retreat on the other side of the mountain called the Cave of Symbols,
that is accessed through Table Mountain, and that the two retreats
are connected together. Archangel Michael promised to take Maria
to the Cave of Symbols next.
For
the moment, Maria stood silently in the Grand Council Hall soaking
in the brilliant splendor of the retreat. She couldn't stop staring
at the disc of gold suspended on the arch ceiling, twelve feet
in diameter, holding a seven-pointed star formed entirely of dazzling
yellow diamond light.Confucius told Maria that through this diamond
light, the seven mighty Elohim, who are the builders of form,
focus rays of light and blessings for all the elemental kingdom
and plant life on Earth. A focus of the All-Seeing Eye of God
directs currents for the realignment of the immaculate pattern
God holds for all creation.
“That
must be why there are so many yellow flowers growing in the Grand
Teton National Park, and why the animals seem peaceful and happy,”
Maria replied.
Confucius
smiled. “People come from all over the world to see the
Grand Teton,” he said, “and they receive in their
souls the blessing of illumination flame from the Holy Brothers
and Sisters of our retreat.”
Lord
Lanto offered to take Maria on a tour of the Grand Teton retreat.
Maria marveled at the treasure rooms with gold and jewels that the
ascended Masters had rescued from lost continents and ancient civilizations
that had fallen and disappeared.
“Gold
is precipitated sunlight,” Lord Lanto explained. “Gold
carries the frequency of God. In fact the word Gold and God are
almost the same, and the word gold has the “L” which
is the “El” of God!”
Maria laughed. “Like El Morya,” she said.
“There
is a master,” said Lord Lanto “a cosmic being, who
is the God of Gold. We can call to him for the abundance needed
to fulfill the masters' plans and God's plan for our lives. The
God of Gold once explained that you cannot have a golden age without
the vibration of gold circulating midst the people. In a golden
age, each one's sacred labor is measured in gold and rewarded
in gold, with precipitated sunlight from the heart of their I
AM Presence. The fallen angels have sought to hoard the gold for
themselves, but they shall not pass. A time will soon come when
the children of God will have the vibration of gold again in their
lives and on their physical form because the currents of gold
magnetize the currents of God.
“Our
friend, Lord Tabor, has a retreat in the Rocky Mountains not that
far from here,where he works with masters and elementals to precipitate
gold. Pure gold, untainted by human selfishness, is the frequency
of the Christ consciousness. He also keeps and guards very ancient
manuscripts on the laws of God in his retreat.”

\
“Is
this why you keep all of this gold and all of these treasures
from ancient civilizations?” asked Maria.
“Yes,
said Lord Lanto, “out of respect and love for the energy of
God and the precipitated Light of God that never fails. We endeavor
to see to it that nothing of value in God is ever wasted or lost.
Of course, everything of value is also recorded in akasha.”
“What is akasha?” asked Maria.“Akasha are the
energy records of all of mankind's doings. It is like a divine memory
bank of everything that has ever happened. The ascended masters
can look up all of the records of the past through the computer
mind of God.”
“The computer mind of God?” asked Maria.
“Façon
de parler,” said Lord Lanto. “The truth is the mind
of God is far superior to any computer and computers try to copy
it. That being said, everything is recorded by the Keeper of the
Scrolls—every jot and tittle, like the master Jesus said.”
“Who
is the Keeper of the Scrolls?” asked Maria.
“He is also known as the recording angel,” said Lord
Lanto. He records everyone's thoughts and deeds and feelings and
motives and actions, and he has a number of angels who assist him.”
“Really?” said Maria.
“Yes,” said Lord Lanto. “He maintains an extensive
library and research facilities so that at any time, the record
of a lifestream may be reviewed, especially when they petition
God for new energy or opportunities or dispensations, or even
an extension of life.”
“I
didn't know we could get extensions of life,” said Maria.
“Yes,
it can happen,' said Lord Lanto, “that a lifetime is extended
beyond a person's initial karmic allotment of years. That number
can and does change if the individual has displayed meritorious
service. The decision is granted by the Lords of Karma.You know
it says in the Bible that our days are numbered like the hairs on
our head. Well, as you can see, I have no hair left on my head!”
Maria laughed again. “You are very funny,” she said.
“We make it a point to have fun along the way. In fact, one
of my friends who recently ascended—chose the name of Fun
Wey as his ascended master name. In his last life, he was born to
an old Chinese family, when his life was threatened. The master
Eriel took him in. He attained his ascension after giving enthusiastic
and illumined obedience to his master. Before that, Fun Wey was
an elemental who earned a threefold flame. Now he teaches the 'fun
way' to the ascension, and he has much to share.'The fun way of
living is the God way of living,' he says. 'Fun is the abundant
life of Christ consciousness.'
“Now where were we...”
“You were telling me about the Keeper of the Scrolls.”
“Yes,”
said Lord Lanto. “His angels record not only what a person
thinks and says and does, but also the intensity by which one
does their work, and the motivation for which it is done. By the
grace and gift and love of the master Saint Germain, those who
faithfully invoke the violet flame have an erasing action that
takes place on their scrolls. That is why Saint Germain called
the violet flame the 'cosmic eraser.' Through the action of the
violet flame, negative karma is erased as soon as it was created.
However, if the individual who gives the violet flame keeps making
the same mistakes over and over again with no sign of improvement,
then at a certain point, the action of the Great Law is effected
and all of the misdeeds of that individuals are remitted to him
or her.”
“So
the violet flame does not excuse you from wrong doing?” Maria
asked.
“It does not,” said Lord Lanto, “but it does give
people who invoke it a greater chances to right their wrongs. When
the round of embodiments is finished and time comes for the soul
to make her ascension the Keeper of the Scrolls reads the records
of the individual so that all can honor their achievements. Then,
any negative records left are put to the torch.”
“This reminds me of school,” said Maria, “when
we have our award ceremonies at the end of the school year. And
also when the teacher gives us a chance to make up an assignment
or get extra credit.”
“It
is a lot like school,”said Lord Lanto. “Earth is a schoolroom
and everyone has a graduation. Like the great Hermes Mercurius Trismegistus
pointed out when he wrote on the emerald table, as above so below.”
“Is it possible for a soul to fail?” asked Maria.
“It is possible,” said Lord Lanto, “but God gives
the soul as many chances as possible to make things right. If the
soul truly insists on wrong doing and following the left-handed
path, then a time comes when that soul is taken for trial before
the Court of the Sacred Fire. The keeper of the scrolls then also
reads the records of that lifestream. When the final judgment is
pronounced, what is left of that soul goes into the flame along
with all of its misdeeds, never to return to burden the cosmos.”
“I
understand,” said Maria, deep in thought.
“Only records of perfection can be eternal in God,”
said Lord Lanto. “That is why Jesus said, 'Be ye therefore
perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.'”
Lord Lanto then took Maria to see the violet flame rooms in the
Grand Teton retreat. She saw the violet flame chamber where souls
come to bask in the violet flame and invoke more violet fire to
purify their four lower bodies and transmute negative karmic records.
There was even a music room with beautiful instruments for healing.
When Maria heard this beautiful music, it reminded her of the
Ninth Symphony of Beethoven and also of Mahler's Resurrection
Symphony. It brought her great joy, and a little tear to the eye—a
happy tear!

“The
quality of music that one listens to is key to the victory of
the soul,” said Lord Lanto. “The music that is played
in the world today is harmful to human and elemental life. It
is also a disservice to the youth of the world. God is Music,
and the entire universe and all of the planets are sustained in
their rotations through the music of the spheres.
“The
fallen ones knew this and so they decided to try to destroy God
in his children and in the sustaining of worlds by releasing dark
music with destructive rhythms and foul words. These are the sounds
of the pit of hell. The ascended hierarchy, knowing this was coming
as an initiation for mankind, released the heavenly music through
the great classical composers and operas and others from the East
and from the West who tuned into the keynotes of God. We had hoped
that humanity would be more selective in their choices of music
and shun the dark ones but unfortunately they did not, and many
young people have become addicted.
“The music of the fallen ones creates an addiction by pulling
the energies of God down in the chakras from the crown to the
base, which then leads to other problems and addictions. The divine
life force in the temple is intended to be raised up from the
base to the crown. The raising up of this Mother Light is preparatory
to the ascension. Ancient civilizations and continents sank through
the misuse of sound. Sound is the power of creation, the power
of God's word and we must be very careful with how we use our
words, and also very careful with the music we surround ourselves
with.”
“What
about John Denver?” asked Maria. “I like many of his
songs.”
“John Denver and other more recent artists brought forth
many good songs that are inspiring to the soul and have a good
rhythm that isn't the rock beat. We honor those who create for
beauty and through love, rather than for destruction or through
anger. The most important thing to remember in choosing songs
are harmony and melody. Harmony and Melody are both ascended cosmic
beings in God. When music does not have beautiful harmony or melody,
it's important to stay way from it.”
“I understand,” said Maria. “I often found that
I didn't like many of the songs that my friends thought were cool.
I pretended to like them, because I wanted to fit in, but I never
really liked them.”
“That's because the soul knows and recognizes what resonates
with God and what does not. It is important to always listen to
the promptings of your soul, and to the still small voice in your
heart that is your Christ Self speaking to you and nudging you and
teaching you and guiding you.”
“I will do that,” said Maria, as she watched many souls
gathering to attend an ascended master concert in what looked like
a concert hall in the retreat. It was like an orchestra, and angels
were about to start playing the music.
“I like to play the piano,” said Maria.
“The
piano is good,” said Lord Lanto, as he sat down at the harpsichord.
“It cleanses and heals the third eye chakra when it is played
melodiously. This harpsichord here, is the sound of the secret
chamber of the heart.”
Maria
listened as the music from the harpsichord filled the retreat and
filled her heart. Then, she and Archangel Michael bade Confucius
and Lord Lanto goodbye.
“Many happy returns,” said Lord Lanto as they bid her
a fond farewell with an oriental bow. “We bow to the light
within you. Please invoke my flame daily for the youth of the world.”
And
with that, Maria woke up in her bed and golden rays of sunshine
were streaming through her curtains. And she could hear a song
playing in her soul.
Hail Royal Teton, where all learn life to revere.
Bless our dear Lanto, for his service here.
Raising Earth to heaven, to fulfill her plan divine.
Peace and hope eternal, brotherhood in man.
