The lords of the seven rays open their etheric retreats for students of the ascended masters to study the teachings while their bodies sleep at night.
They travel there in their finer bodies (etheric sheath) during sleep.
The retreats are available for fourteen days at a time on a rolling cycle in this order:
- Darjeeling for training on the first ray under El Morya,
- Royal Teton Retreat for training on the seventh ray under Saint Germain
- Royal Teton Retreat for training under Lord Lanto and Confucius on the second ray.
- Paul the Venetian teaches at the Goddess of Liberty’s Temple of the Sun over Manhattan for the third ray.
- Nada instructs on the sixth ray at the retreat of Jesus in Saudi Arabia
- Serapis Bey instructs students at the Ascension Temple, Luxor on the fourth ray.
- Hilarion teaches at the retreat of Pallas Athena in Crete on the third ray.
- The Maha Chohan is the Great Lord over the lords of the seven rays. He instructs students at his retreat, the Temple of Comfort in the etheric realm over the island of Sri Lanka.

What are the Etheric Retreats?
The etheric retreats of the ascended masters are the temples of the Great White Brotherhood. Once physical on the lost continents of Lemuria and Atlantis, these retreats were withdrawn from the physical octave to the realms of perfection, the etheric plane, reachable only by the most advanced initiates.
With the dawning of the Aquarian age, lightbearers were given again the opportunity to enter these retreats by means of soul travel. You can visit these spiritual retreats while you sleep—as time and space are merely coordinates of infinity.
The chohans of the rays are the closest of the Ascended Masters to humanity. The offices of the chohans are divinely appointed by the cosmic hierarchy. Each one has attained self-mastery and won the ascension by serving humanity on one or more of the seven rays.
So, why not try it tonight. A whole new world awaits you.
Tips on Traveling to the Retreats
We can travel out of the body to the etheric retreats while our body sleeps at night. We can escape our physical body and leave the bounds of the earth, travelling with or without consciousness.
Steps to Facilitating Our Out-Of-Body Retreat Experience
Avoid heavy foods in the few hours before sleep so that the functions of the body can be at rest and the soul more easily ascend to higher octaves.
Avoid violent or negative movies or television shows in the hours before sleep. These can magnetize the soul to lower levels of consciousness instead of the highest levels of the etheric plane.
Create your period of spiritual attunement before sleep, perhaps reading the words of an ascended master, to help attune your consciousness with the intended destination.
Where we are in consciousness before we sleep will often determine where we go.
Prayer for Protection While You Travel
Before you go to sleep you can ask to be taken by Archangel Michael to the retreat nearest you or the retreat of your choice.
Here is a short prayer you can give before you go to sleep to ask to be taken to the retreats.
Make this call nightly, and see how the angels will swiftly take you, clothed in your finer bodies, to the ascended masters’ classroom to learn important soul lessons.
Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. Mighty I AM Presence and Holy Christ Self, I call to Archangel Michael and his legions of blue-lightning angels to protect and transport my soul clothed in her finer bodies to the retreat of the ascended master __________________ at ____________________ this night. Escort me, instruct me, guide and protect me as I work to set free all life on earth. I ask this be done in accordance with the holy will of God
A Sense of Self-Worth
The ascended masters have told us that sometimes the only barrier to our attending the etheric retreats is a lack of the sense of self-worth. Like the prodigal son, we have been away so long that we hesitate at the threshold. Will I still be welcome after all this time?
Remember that God dwells in you, and God in you is worthy to attend the retreats of light.
Using the Violet Flame to Help Remember Retreat Experiences
The retreats are very real and our service with the masters on these levels is also real, and yet, most often, there is no outer memory of the retreat experience. A spiritual seeker may visit the retreats for some time before having a waking memory of an experience there. Many have no direct memory, but simply return with a prompting, a feeling or an inner direction about decisions to be made in life.
The use of the violet flame can be very helpful in remembering your retreat experiences. As you purify your four lower bodies with the violet flame, as you practice the ritual when you retire at night of asking your God Presence to be taken to the retreats, you will begin to have the dim, faint memory of your experience.
One day, you will awaken in the morning, and you will remember being in a temple. You will remember the room where you sat, and you will remember the teacher who stood before you. It will be one of the greatest experiences of your life, and it is not far away.
It simply takes the clearing of the chakras, the purification of your own mind and soul so that what is impressed upon the soul can filter through to your outer awareness. You have much to look forward to as you apply the teachings of the masters and willingly sacrifice the impurities of the human consciousness into the flame.
