[[Jesus]] is in charge of the retreat of the Brotherhood in the Arabian Desert, northeast of the Red Sea. The retreat is in a complex of buildings that were hermetically sealed by the masters before a cataclysm covered them with desert sands. The tops of the buildings are now 125 feet beneath the surface. | [[Jesus]] is in charge of the retreat of the Brotherhood in the Arabian Desert, northeast of the Red Sea.

Every seven years the International Council of the Great White Brotherhood is held in this subterranean city. The retreat is entered through an opening wide enough to admit cars, which drive down an incline into a parking lot and service area two hundred feet in diameter. When the jaws of the earth close, all that can be seen is desert, with no indication of the location of the retreat. | Every seven years the International Council of the [[Great White Brotherhood]] is held in this subterranean city.

Descending almost four hundred feet by elevator, we enter a huge chamber with large columns, three hundred feet high and decorated with hieroglyphs. We proceed into an adjoining council chamber two hundred feet square, having a single great column in the center supporting the arched ceiling. At the base of the column inlaid in the floor are the cosmic symbols of the twelve houses of the sun. We note that they are different from the signs of the zodiac currently in use in the outer world. The entire architecture, as well as the interior design of this subterranean city, is of an ancient style resembling that which we think of as Greek and Roman. | Descending almost four hundred feet by elevator, we enter a huge chamber with large columns, three hundred feet high and decorated with hieroglyphs.
