Revision as of 02:16, 26 December 2016
The Inner Retreat is a physical outpost of the Great White Brotherhood at the Royal Teton Ranch in the Paradise Valley of southwestern Montana. It is the international headquarters of The Summit Lighthouse and Church Universal and Triumphant.
The land of the Inner Retreat and particularly the Heart of the Inner Retreat, a secluded mountain meadow at an elevation of six thousand feet, is consecrated ground and is considered to be a sacred or holy land.
The Inner Retreat is partially in the etheric octave, and numerous ascended masters have spoken of walking this hallowed ground. It is the place where the soul meets or encounters the Real Self, the guru in the form of the messengers and the ascended masters, particularly Lord Maitreya.
The prophecy of Djwal Kul
Over the past 150 years, certain key masters of the Great White Brotherhood have anticipated this hour, and they have laid the foundation for the physical manifestation of their organization and for the protection of their chelas.
On October 2, 1920, Djwal Kul made the following statement:
Therefore the preparatory school will be located near some large city, preferably near the sea or some large expanse of water, but never within the city; it will be on the confines of the centres of learning within the city and will be readily accessible.
The advanced school will be far from the crowded places of the earth and preferably in a mountainous region, for the mountains have a direct effect on the occultist and impart to him that quality of strength and steadfastness that is their pre¬dominant characteristic and must be that too of the occultist.
The inner retreat magnetizes the currents to focus the inner world, the spiritual manifestation of the light of each one’s being; and the outer retreat is the one that is the opportunity for the mastery of the Matter sphere. The inner retreat is for those initiates who are tried and true. The outer is open to the public where many can come and try their hand at the path.
The Goddess of Liberty spoke of this prophecy in a dictation on February 26, 1980:
Inasmuch, then, as there are serious conditions which, if not checked, could lead to further minor cataclysm and serious conditions, the Karmic Board recommends that a certain phase of the prophecy of Djwal Kul be implemented—which is the establishment of the inner retreat of the devotees of this activity of light that shall hold the balance for the outer activity.
Thus the figure-eight flow of these twin focuses will mirror the figure-eight flow of the two witnesses and of the Guru-chela relationship that is enjoyed by every chela of the will of God.
I speak of the prophecy of Djwal Kul of the inner and outer mystery school. [I speak] of the community, such as that which is established here at Camelot, that must be open to the world and open to all who wish to investigate the teachings of the ascended masters. And I speak of the inner community where initiates gather for the most important service to life—that of holding the balance of the white-fire core, not merely of an organization, but of a planetary body.
Purposes of the Inner Retreat
The ascended master Saint Germain, in his July 4, 1981, address, spoke of some of the purposes of the Inner Retreat and dedicated it as the Place of Great Encounters:
I dedicate this land to the ascension of the Blessed Virgin. I dedicate this land to her summoning of her own for the victory of the ascension and her vigil with her sons unto the light everlasting.
I dedicate, therefore, this Inner Retreat as the Place of Great Encounters where each one might come to encounter the LORD God Almighty, his own I AM Presence, Sanat Kumara, Gautama Buddha, Lord Maitreya, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Blessed hearts, souls encountering Truth, souls uniting one with the other, forging a union, forging a nucleus, forging a magnet for transition into the new age—when have we ever seen re-created again the original seed of Sanat Kumara gathered together in one place, not merely for human companionship but for the understanding of the components of the capstone[1] and the components of the heart of America, understanding the rising souls, disengaging from the dissonance of the world and its discord, from its momentum of war and bloodshed, oppression, and the clouding of the mind by tyrants? When have we ever seen gathered together, in the numberless numbers of thousands, the body of Light of planet Earth?
Blessed hearts, it has been many centuries. And the world has not seen yet what can be accomplished by the great gathering of the elect. Is it not prophesied that they shall come from the four winds and from the four corners of the earth?[2] Is it not decreed? Thus, I have placed my electrodes as waymarkers and signs in the nations of the earth, that all might follow the sign of the violet flame—the violet-flame banner and the marker—coming home by the markings of transmutation.[3]

The Inner Retreat and the Royal Teton Ranch
The physical land of our retreat is called the Royal Teton Ranch. The spiritual retreat is called the Inner Retreat. Mighty Victory explained how these two terms differ:
First and foremost, the Inner Retreat is an etheric retreat. And thus, there has been some confusion as to just where the Inner Retreat is located at the Royal Teton Ranch. Some have the idea it is here or there or only in the Heart or perhaps it is the entire Ranch. Beloved ones, the Royal Teton Ranch is the physical focus of the true Inner Retreat which is the etheric octave. And that etheric octave is the living school of Light and the Retreat of the Divine Mother.
Therefore, those who would enter the heart of the Inner Retreat must also understand the rights of passage into the etheric octave. Believe me, beloved, it is necessary to follow the legions of Victory, that you might pass through physical molecules and understand truly what Being is in the Heart of that Inner Retreat in the very heart of the etheric plane.
Therefore, when the right hand of Maitreya is raised, there is the turning back of those who may not come in to the etheric octave, for they have not woven the wedding garment.
Understand this principle, beloved. There may be some who come. There may be some who attend Summit University or even enter the work/study program. There may be souls of longstanding who have been in this movement for years. But they who have not woven the wedding garment—I tell you, they shall not enter in. And as the Mother has said that the land rejects those who are not fit for the Path, so it is, beloved, the etheric plane and the etheric octave and the angels thereof who do remove those who are not part of the Mystical Body of God.
First and foremost, then, upon recognizing where is and what is the Inner Retreat, let those who embody it and who are becoming it truly understand that you are the guardians of the physical focus of the Royal Teton Retreat at the Grand Teton. As you will preserve this Place Prepared for the Lightbearers of the earth, so will this activity prosper.[6]
