Temple of Peace

A beach in Hawaii

Peace and Aloha focus the energies of the solar-plexus chakra of the planet in their retreat located in the etheric plane over the Hawaiian Islands. From the Temple of Peace, the Elohim radiate ribbons of Cosmic Christ peace over the entire earth as a network of the Cosmic Christ consciousness. In addition to purple and gold flames, Mighty Cosmos’ secret rays are focused in this retreat.

Description

The forcefield of the Temple of Peace may be visualized as a purple and gold heart, with a magnetic forcefield of alternating purple and gold concentric heart-shaped rings. The flame in the center of the heart is the flame of Cosmic Christ peace. This forcefield is superimposed over the temple.

One enters the etheric temple in the etheric body, and immediately the eternal presence of the flame of peace is felt. The entrance hall leads into a round room; ten pillars grace the circular walls, which reflect the pulsations of the secret rays anchored in the center of the room. The altar of the secret rays is sunken in the center of the room. Three steps lead to a circular pathway surrounding the altar in which the secret rays are anchored.

Proceeding on past the altar of the secret rays and down a hallway, we descend a flight of stairs leading to the great Hall of Peace. This is actually in the center of the temple, architecturally patterned after the hall we have just passed through, except on a larger scale. There are twelve pillars on the circuit, evenly spaced on the circular walls, which reflect the purple and gold of the Elohim of Peace anchored in the center dais.

Descending the three steps and walking around the focus, we come to the thrones of Peace and Aloha. Between the twelve pillars that adorn the sides of the temple are twelve doors leading to twelve circular anterooms, one of which is the room through which we just passed where the secret rays are focused. The flame of peace, being at the fulcrum of the Christ consciousness, is in the center of the temple, the throne of Peace and Aloha at the twelve o’clock line and the secret rays at the six o’clock line.

Functions of the retreat

Initiates on the sixth ray study at the Temple of Peace under the careful guidance of the Elohim who are in charge. Those who are preparing to embody on the sixth ray will spend some time here before reembodying in order to learn how the Elohim focus the flame of peace through the Holy Spirit in nature and the activities of the builders of form. Prior to his embodiment as Saint Francis, when he prayed, “Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace!” beloved Kuthumi studied under the Great Initiator, Lord Maitreya, in his retreat in the Himalayas; but before taking on a physical body, he was brought to the Temple of Peace where his development of the flame of peace was tested through ordered steps of initiations that are conducted under the auspices of the hierarchy of that retreat.

Outside the great Hall of Peace, there are three other buildings (at the nine, twelve, and three o’clock lines). Here the Brotherhood of Peace works diligently, drawing up plans for the implementation of peace throughout the world. Volunteers who study there while their body temples sleep or who are between embodiments come to the retreat to study the plans for peace, and here they take vows before Peace and Aloha to go forth as their representatives in the world of form to carry the flame of peace and to implement the plans of the Brotherhood of Peace.

Those who have journeyed to the Hawaiian Islands can attest to the great peace they feel here, which extends throughout the Pacific Ocean.

The Pavilion of Peace

On January 2, 1972, the Elohim Peace announced a dispensation regarding the Pavilion of Peace:

I AM Peace. It has been decided that we would give you this day, by karmic grace, a spiritual experience of great depth. Will you take my hand in thought and come with me apart from ordinary experience realms into the world of cosmic dreams where we shall create an experience of peace in what we term the Pavilion of Peace.

By His grace there is created by the devas and the builders of form and great cosmic beings a pavilion of white alabaster through which shines the Light never seen on land or sea, the Light of ten thousand spiritual suns, the Light of the Eternal One. Through the walls of our alabaster Pavilion of Peace there gleams now this radiance. There are four sides to our pavilion and three magnificent domes on each side—two below and one above, forming a triad in memory of the threefold nature of man and of God. The gates of the pavilion are open, and six mighty seraphim stand at each gate to lead you upward to the Temple of Peace. The mighty organ which we call the organ of peace is radiating out that cosmic sound which is soundless but which rises to crescendos of peace....

Will you enter with me now the gates of the Temple of Peace and hear the sweet bells of heaven that ring out melodic joy that peace can prevail. Seven snow-white doves are carrying a banner in their bills and they flutter at the gateway as you enter; and the banner, in letters of gold, Old English gold, fluttering in a soft, gentle wind, reads “Peace.” For there is no other vibratory action that can come into our temple save peace. And yet the scene is not vacant, for there is a Light and a mystical joy in the air of this Pavilion of Peace.

Now we see the thirteenth dome—an inner spire rising and a beautiful brick mosaic formed within it. And there in gold, stamped within a Maltese cross of perfect balance, is the word “Peace.” It is as though the very physical heart wanted momentarily to pause and drink in the scene of peace. For seven rays come down from the center of the dome; these are the rays of the Holy Spirit. White at the point of blending, the gentlest of pastel hues are to be seen upon the floor where the reflected rays gently position themselves as though they were seven votive flames from the altar of God’s Heart....

I AM the Elohim of Peace. I radiate out into the world domain the vibratory action of infinite peace—a consuming fire to those who radiate out the awful vibratory action of hatred, war, and destruction and the influences of the carnal mind, but a fire of hope, a shining diadem of our love to all who see the beauty of our temple. We offer to each of you a gift this day: a miniature replica of the Temple of Peace, a symbol of your journey which we place in a golden acorn. Siva! It is done! To each soul let there be an encapsulated golden acorn. Within that acorn, reduced to microscopic size and placed within the ventricle of the heart so as not to interfere in any way with the flow of the Life-force, do we place the gift—the focus of the Elohim of Peace, my focus, thy focus, God’s focus, a universal focus. It belongs to the world, to the universe; it is a part of creativity, of the fiat of creation....

I tell you of a truth, the gift I give you today is a point of contact with universal peace. If you will, it can summon within you at will the great Cosmic Genie, the Figure Form, the symbolic Angel of your own individualized Presence, who will on the instant bring you into the realm of peace. And so I shall tell you of the power of this talisman which I place within those of you who will accept it. I will never impose it upon any. If you have once accepted it, however, I should tell you now, it becomes anchored there forever. And all you have to do when all around you is turbulent and you are in distress and in confusion is to visualize in miniature the Pavilion of Peace, call unto me and unto your individualized God Presence and say:

“I need Thee every hour, O Elohim of Peace and beloved mighty I AM Presence! Show forth thy Light!” And with the words “Show forth thy Light,” I will come again and create the vibratory action of my peace.

In the name of the Prince of Peace I say, “Peace be unto you.”
