A few miles from the focus is a pyramid, also superimposed with etheric activity. Here in the upper room of the pyramid is the king’s chamber, where the initiations of the [[transfiguration]] and the [[resurrection]] take place. Other rooms within the pyramid are used for initiations given by the Council of Adepts to the devotees who come to Luxor prepared for the most severe disciplines and the total surrender of their human consciousness. | A few miles from the focus is a pyramid, also superimposed with etheric activity.

In succeeding embodiments, he and the brothers who had served in the Ascension Temple on Atlantis built the retreat, which was originally above ground. Here in an underground building is the circular courtroom where the [[Last Judgment]] is conducted by the Council of Adepts. Nearby is the Flame Room, a square building having doors on two sides. One enters here only as a candidate for the ascension, after all initiations have been passed. | ||
Forming another square within the room are twelve white pillars, decorated in gold relief at the base and the top, which surround the central dais on which the ascension flame blazes. They represent the twelve hierarchies of the Sun and the twelve Godly attributes. Each one who ascends from this Temple is ascending because he has attained God-mastery through the disciplines and the tutelage of one of these twelve hierarchies, the hierarchy under whom he was born in the embodiment in which he was destined to ascend. | Forming another square within the room are twelve white pillars, decorated in gold relief at the base and the top, which surround the central dais on which the ascension flame blazes.

<blockquote>For we are here to fill in the missing links in the chain of Being so that when the hour of your transition comes and you find yourself as the rose on the other side of the wall, you will have the momentum and the inner soul-direction that will carry you to this or one of the other retreats of the Brotherhood either for final preparation for the ascension or for preparation for reembodiment.<ref>Serapis Bey, “The Opening of the Temple Doors IV,” {{POWref|16|13|, April 1, 1973}}</ref></blockquote> | <blockquote>For we are here to fill in the missing links in the chain of Being so that when the hour of your transition comes and you find yourself as the rose on the other side of the wall, you will have the momentum and the inner soul-direction that will carry you to this or one of the other retreats of the [[Brotherhood]] either for final preparation for the ascension or for preparation for reembodiment.<ref>Serapis Bey, “The Opening of the Temple Doors IV,” {{POWref|16|13|, April 1, 1973}}</ref></blockquote> | ||

The Easter lily is the symbol of the flame and its focus in the nature kingdom, and the white diamond is its focus in the mineral kingdom. The melody of the flame is the “Triumphal March” from ''Aïda'', and the keynote of the retreat is “Liebestraum,” by Franz Liszt. | The ascension flame is an intense fiery white with a crystal glow.
