After the Fall of man, the Great White Brotherhood sponsored mystery schools on [[Lemuria]] and [[Atlantis]], where the higher spiritual truths were taught to those who were willing to keep the disciplines of the adepts. The Sangha of the [[Buddha]], the [[Essene community]] at Qumran, and [[Pythagoras]]’ school at [[Crotona]] were among the more recent mystery schools. Other schools were located in the Himalayas, the Far East and Egypt, as well as in Europe and South America. One by one, these mystery schools were destroyed or disbanded. | After the Fall of man, the Great White Brotherhood sponsored mystery schools on [[Lemuria]] and [[Atlantis]], where the higher spiritual truths were taught to those who were willing to keep the disciplines of the adepts.

Wherever these schools have been destroyed, the ascended masters who sponsored them withdrew their flames and sacred shrines to their retreats on the etheric plane. Here their disciples are trained between embodiments and in their finer bodies (during sleep or samadhi) in order that they might attain that Divine Self-knowledge which, until [[Saint Germain]] once again advanced it in this century, has not been available to mankind en masse in the physical plane for centuries. | Wherever these schools have been destroyed, the ascended masters who sponsored them withdrew their flames and sacred shrines to their retreats on the etheric plane.
