---·-----------------------------------

OUR PLATFORM THE BRIDGE comes to you as a

Messenger of Peace, a Harbinger of Hope, a Span over which your outer consciousness may walk in safety into the Presence of the Great White Bro­ therhood, share in Their Plans and Endeavors on behalf of mankind, and consciously avail yourself of the t~dia­ tion and fi1essing which such know­ ledge brings. Despite ALL claims to the contrary,

you are asked to examine the fibres that are woven into the strands of Its Policy, and in HONEST, UNBIASED INDIVIDUAL JUDGMENT, ask yourself what agency is presently ziv ing, or has previously offered informa­ tion of this nature, with its attendant individual blessing, its spiritual value in uniting the energies of the race with The Brotherhood in this hour, WITH .. OUT COMMERCIALIZING the cred­ ulous. IDEALIZING any personality. or FORBIDDING individual freedom of conscience and action, within the natural confines of moral and ethical purity. ~~ •f ~, ~N~-

PLATFORM FREEDOM for every lifestream to

develop and unfold its talents AND UTILIZE THOSE TA LENTS for the good of Life!

JUSTICE for every soul who has put his shoulder to the wheel, no matter what flaws of personal character have dimmed the full manifestation of serv­ ice . UNITY of the members of the Spirit­

ual Brotherhood, through coordinated .iirected, rhythmic, universal instruc­ tions on the Law and the requirements of the hour. LOVE AND TOLERANCE for all

life, which bind together, rather than divide the peoples of earth, the cons­ cious students on the path and those Leaders who are big enough to admit that the Sun cannot limit its shining to but one "sunbeam". TRUTH Unveiled so that all who

applv to the Cosmic Fount may be filled and none turned away in bitter­ ness f_:_nd emptiness. PF ACE which comes from liberty

of conscience and action, within the reasonable confines of honor and ethi­ cal purtiv. ACTION through coordinated, di­

rected, systematically distributed ins­ tructions in the Cause of World Good!

Chain of the planets around our Snn. to become co-creators with the Father in His Kingdom, to learn the lessons of cause and effect through the gen­ eration and projection of energy. For countless aeons of time, vou have worked under the Chohan of one of the ~eYen Rays and vonr lifestream 's record is w1:itten h~ the Cosmic Li­ brary of the Four Maha Chohans who have successivelv held this Office.

SAINT GERMAIN

Beloved Friend» of Philadelphia d Citizens of the Fnited States of neriea ! I speak to you t odav in this City Brot herlv Love where the issue political ·justice spurred the Sons Freedom to take their stand for

e right to pursue happiness accord- !! to the dictates of each iudivid- 1 's voluutary choice; for the Ii­ rtv to worship Uocl according· to ~ promptings of their own eonsei­

H:C and for the freedom to use their «l-aiven life to further whatever use thev choose to endow with •i r· presence and support. TIH' issue before you today con­ rns the Gcd-ziven rizht« of fre(• ·n. which have 'been ensured to :h American Citizen through the rele-« efforts of the ea cly patriots d those of Us who sponsored and ·iported them in the hours when · white heat of Freedom forged · Bell of Liberty, which has be- me the symbol to the people of all tious on the earth's surface of liverance from despotism, tyran­ . and oppression, not only. of a ysical but a moral nature. Let me remind you that this is not local issue, but that .Philadelphia ce again becomes the Field upon hich the issues of Right and Justice ,. defended by those stalwart Som :\Ien whose pattern, example and liey will be reflected through the urth and breadth of every nation, ,l tliat the Cause of Freedom is rn anew through the life which may choose to invest in the ex-

1sio1i' of God's Light and God's -rd to all the sons of men. .~o longer shall the valiant life. 'eams who have dedicated their Prg,ies, substance, faith and pur­ ~ to the Cause of Freedom be iken upon the wheel of personal

'When an organization h 1· o 11 g ht forth in the Xame of the Ascended Host of Light professes to 'represent the Will of God and to interpret that Will to the people, it would be wise for the people to measure such r<'presentations through the light of individual reason, to see if the qual­ ities of God=-Love, Kindness, Justice and :'.\1ere~·-are woven into the Pol-

FREEDOM_j October 1 9 5 2 ---- Where the Spirit of the Lord is

there is Liberty''. Paul. (II Cor 3:17).

Freedom is the innate right of man endowed by Goel. Freedom is the basis of the· American Declan1- tion of Independence. Freedom Yer­ sus Tvrannv is the clarion call of the d~,v in ·an lands and in all or­ cranizations and activities. Therefore ~ . . it behooves the student of the Light to defend his freedom and the free­ dom of his brother. There are many freedoms. but we

will refer todav ·to the "freedom of r•onseienee and action, within the natural confines of moral and eth­ ical purity". No one has the right to dictate to

another what he should or should not read, and much less if the Glori­ ous Xame of Saint Germain is in­ yoked. coupled with slanders and threats of ex<Jomunion and ostrac­ ism. This rovival of religious per­ secution can not and will not be tol­ erated by free Americans, and what .is more it will not succeed.

Therefore, for the work of the month, in fact for the work of every day of the year, we suggest to those who want to be enlisted in the .Aruw of Freedom to make the followin·g Fin, dailv :

"I :o\m free born ! I do not allow anyone to dicta tP to me what I should or should not read. I will "proYe all t hinzs : and hold fast that which i~ g-ood ". T dont fear slanders and threats of excomunion. in what­ ever shape or form, for thev are powerless. I invoke the for~iw-: w·•·s and the Blessings and +he Illumination of thf> Liberated Host for those who. blinded by their personality and ambition of power, not knowing what they do, try in vain to assail the freedom of conscience and ac­ tion. I Am free born ! ''

THE ISLAND OF SUV A October 15th to November 14th, 1952

THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS SECTION-One of the important reasons for ac­ quainting mankind of the Councils where the Flame i<; most active at any gin·n time in the ear+h cycle is t hu+ the encrgi cs cf every viaitant can become part of the expansion of that Plaine, and each interested party is "fuel'' to the fire.

The greater the coucentra tion of the Gift which is always of some specific benefit to the race, naturally the greater the individual Blessing to every component part ... the brighter shines the fire, the greater its gift of light.

In t hr 1Jt'<l of the Pacific· Ocean. rPsts the onee majestic continent of ,\lu. Only its highest mountain peaks from t ime to time arise above the \\'/l r1·. forming the tropical islands of the :-;outh Par-if'ie chains. One of th<'se island» is tho :-ipiritual Saner­ uarv and Focus of a Great Cosmic Bei;1g- whoso service to the earth and her people stretches back into unre­ l'<mled time. when l\lu cradled the Third Root Race and tho forerunners of' the Fourth Root Race' under the ~niclanee and direction of the Master Himalaya. the Manu of thf' F'ourth Evolutiouarv Cvcle.

The Brotherhood of ~uva have lcdieaterl Their Life Energies to -xpanding and diret'tin!! the Power and Presence of Pure Divine Love. Thev arr known as a Protecting: Band of Consciously Dedicated [n­ li,·i~nals, and manv fine souls who have disappeared in the vastness OI ;hp Pacif'io Ocean have been rescued hY This Brotherhood and are beinz nrepared from within this Sanct­ uirv for- service in the Xew Age. Extremely high waves make the land invisible, except when the

Intelligent Re1?ins who abide thereon -hooso to open the doors to 'l'heir Homo for a specific service. Mauv

1·r the tales told by men at sea who -in great crises and extremity­ ave seen a "l\fystic Island" appear nddenlv before them, offer ing af'etv and protection from the ele- ents tha+ seemed bent on destrov­ !!' them and their vessel. When the continent of :'.\fu had

·ached the Apex of its Powers. 1r Spiritual Leaders of that day «-used mid sustained the spiritua 1 .irrents at specific points upon its .mded 'surface. The Leader of hesp · Priests was an individual of •reat light and power, and His T'em- lf:' was located 011 the mountain hich todav forms tho Isle of the

-rotherhood of Suva. He, himself, known as the Being Surya. His

In appearance the )f~·stie lslaud

is not unlike am· of the beautiful tropical islands ~f the Hawaiian 01· Fiji Chain. When the mountain. ous seas that form an inpenctra ble rin!! around it are stilled through the rurrcted will of The Brother­ Jiooa, it lies like a creen and verdant 3c·wei: the white sa'i1ds of its beache ~-etting- it apart from the deep azure fih1f' of the surrounding seas. The Tuxurlam tropical rerdurr and foli­ age is emphasized by the svmmetry of the clearly defined mountains fiiat stretch, like pointing fingers, toward the Sun God of the Heavens.

The habitations of tlw Brothers are ximple in the extreme blending with the natural beautv of the isl­ and's tranquil presence.' 'I'he whole atmosphere is one of extreme peace, micl the tensions and strifes that seem so important to the outer world mina are stilled even 'before the visitor sets foot upon the shore itself. To enter the aura and atmosphere

of !-{uya is to find oneself cut off, temporarily, from the pull of the senses, and to abide for a time within that self communion and contempla­ tion so requisite to self mastery and attainment upon the spiritual path. Because of the approaching- Holy

Season, and the invitation of the Children of Men to enter the Holv Sanctuary at Shamballa, tho Lords of Karma have asked the Brother-

hood of :-5un1 to become Host t.o the earth people from October 13th to .'\o\'elllber 14th, inclusive, in an en­ cleaYor to prepare them, tlu-ouzh this inner peace ancl tranquility, to e nt er the Halls of :-::harnballa and absorb Its .Cosmi« Blessings at the beginning· of the Christmas l<'rast Days. The radiation from the ::\hsth•

Island is a concentrated power of love. peace, trauqnilirv and opul­ ence, and the mankind of earth who direet their consciousness and atten­ tion toward this Retreat and the Grear Cosmic· Being, Snr~·a, at this rime. will f Pel a tremendous quiet­ ing- effect i11 their inner hodies, which will be absorbed into their physical bodies as well, if they are able to accept its palpable presence alive within them.

THE BURIAL OF THE BRIDGE (Cout,uue,l from page 3:5)

Our Mc:sseuger has said THE BRIDGE is a ''steal'' on the ''I A::M'' work. ls it possible to STEAL God's

blessings, his love. his solicitude, even with the IN'fENT and l'CR­ PO:::,E of giving the bread of life to the hungry, denied by circumsta11ce from its vcrv life h,- reason of Ian­ guage 01· b:u{lt-actt;al or implied-. As for me. 1 stand among those

men who are servants of The People. Within the God Given Rights of Religious Freedom and Liberty of conscience, 1 bring to you the AC­ CUSED, (THE BHIDGE) for your impartial and wise examination. Each man is his Own Judge, his fac­ ulties the jury. You must within the beatiful l<'reeclom of your own consci­ ence pass upon its worth, according to your light and your discrimina­ tion, and may God help you to use your own intuitive powers, together with good reason, rather than allow the weighing scales of another measure the worth of the Wisdom and Gifts of the God and the Mast­ en; you profess to serve and love. One day every man must stand alone without the mediatior. the ~onsultant, the oracle, and - through the light in his own heart choose the beam from whence His 'Presence life comes and follow THAT beam into the Seamless Robe of Eternal Perfection.

r THE MASTER SERAPIS BEY OF LUXOR ]

SERAPIS BEY

At the Head of the Great Ray which forms THE BRIDGE 'between the Inner Realms of God's Kingdom and the conscious. working mind of man, stands The Great Being, known in the i':lpirifual Hierarchy by the name of Serapis. His Inner Sphere of Activity is The Fourth ~phere, or the Realm of Bey. In this Fourth Realm, He prepares many types of cultural activities which are developed by His Pupils and projected into the minds of receptive individuals working on similar lines of endeavor in the world today. Some of these are His Cons­ cious Pupils, others are the uncon •• - cious beneficiaries of his directed in­ spirational force. In the realm of artistic interpretation, musical com­ position, and generally in the crea-

*

tion and building of beautiful forms, His endeavor inspires the conscious­ ness of mankind to greater efforts to build in the world of form the great beauty of the Kingdom of Heaven. In this Cosmic Work. He is aided by the Seraphic Hosts, who 'bear His Xame. As all l\fas­ ters have a focus for Their Spir­ itual Force on the planet where They are presently functioning. The :.\Iast,er Serapis has His Retreat at Luxor, Egypt- This Retreat is of a most strict and uncompromising nature and Its Specific Service fa to develop the nature of man to a point where the Ascension of the physical body is possible.

Because the Fourth Realm repre­ sents the point of contact 'between the outer man and His Christ Self, Tt is in this Rea 1111 that the Higher ~elns of the greater majority of the human race abide, awaiting the development of the personal self to a point where a conscious union can he effected. 8erapis Bey is delegat­ ed to create and sustain a Bridge of consciousness from these Inner Sel­ Yes that live within His Sphere and the personalities of the human race, and is known as The Bridge Builder of Heaven .
