DESCRIPTION:
In southern France, on the banks of the Rhone River, stands the Chateau de Liberte (...) ... the Flame of Liberty has been established and sustained in this location since before the sinking of Atlantis.
Entering the beautiful spacious hall, a beautiful painting faces us, representing the Holy Trinity—a magnificent being depicting the Father, a lovely white dove with a wingspread of almost nine feet representing the Holy Spirit, and a glorious likeness of the Master Jesus representing the Son.
The radiation from this picture is so tremendous that it envelops the entire entrance hall and holds the visitor spellbound in its presence. This painting was begun by Paul Veronese and was completed by him after his ascension—therefore, it has the unique distinction of carrying the vibratory action of both realms of activity in which he is so vitally interested.
As we become accustomed to the radiation that emanates from the picture and are enabled to observe the splendor and magnificence of the grand marble staircase, the beautiful cherubic and seraphic figures that decorate the spacious hall and the richly-patterned mosaic figures on the floor, we are conscious of a throbbing beneath our feet, reminding us of a strong, definite, vitalizing pulsebeat. This, we are told, is the rhythm of the Flame of Liberty, which has been guarded, protected and sustained by many guardians, since it was first focused at this location by those who left Atlantis, carrying its sacred essence, that love of liberty might be sustained in the hearts of men for generations yet unborn.
The focus of the Flame of Liberty, established at this point so many long ages ago, accounts for the fact that France has been identified with liberty of conscience for centuries and it was hoped, by the Great White Brotherhood, that through the impetus of that flame, the United State of Europe might be externalized through the court of France, as early as the Seventeenth Century during the reign of Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette.
Although Saint Germain endeavored, unsuccessfully, to reach the consciousness of the rulers of France up through the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte, he was enabled to draw the substance of that flame through the living hearts of those men whom he inspired to carry the love of liberty across the sea to the new land of hope for freedom, and through the souls of Lafayette, Von Steuben, Kosiusco, Pulaski, De Kalb, Rochambeau and others, a mystic transference of that momentum of liberty was anchored into the conscious heartbeat of America.
It was not by accident that the people of France were inspired to give to America the symbol of liberty, which stands in our harbor as an expression of their love and friendship—in the outer sense—and as a focus of the Liberty Flame from the inner standpoint.
The keynote of this beautiful, pulsating Liberty Flame is found within the French national anthem, The Marseillaise, which accounts for the feeling of inspiration which runs through the hearts and souls of all who love freedom, when this song is played or sung.
...we join the brothers and sisters in the lovely gardens, as the music of the spheres is released and flows out upon the perfumed night air, joining the paean of praise and gratitude that rises from our hearts as we absorb the peace that permeates this night of beauty - and individually ask that all students may become such a peace-commanding presence as our beloved Master Paul.
