Hilarion: Difference between revisions

Hilarion was high priest of the Temple of Truth on Atlantis, and he transported the flame of Truth together with the artifacts of the Temple to Greece a short time before the sinking of the continent. The focus of Truth that he established became the focal point for the Oracles of Delphi, messengers of Truth who served under the direction of [[Pallas Athena]] for hundreds of years, until black priests penetrated the Delphic Order and perverted the Truth that had been brought forth.

It is the flowing, it is the giving, it is that surrender when, as He said: “It is hard for thee to kick against the pricks....”</blockquote>

I had seen him before taking incarnation, and yet I had to work through that pride, that karma on the fifth ray of much learning, much studying and superiority in social standing and intellectual standing that I had in regards to the early Christians. And so, it was my own karma that was upon me whereby I was resisting the call.”<ref>“The Elohim and Their Retreats,” Pearls of Wisdom, 1978, p. 351.</ref></blockquote>
