THE BRIDGE
TO FREEDOM
A Monthly Journal Devoted to Individual Unfoldment, Contact
With the Great White Brotherhood and Cooperative World Service

APRIL 1954

TO THEE, BELOVED BROTHER JESUS
THE ASCENDED HOST, the Angelic Host and mankind extend their
gratitude for the magnificent accomplishment of the resurrection and
the ascension into the light of eternal freedom.
As the attention of all life is drawn to the recurrent miracle of the
resurrection through nature, and as the seekers after truth and free-
dom ponder again the hope and promise of the Easter Season, we ask
that your full Ascended Jesus Christ Consciousness may enter the
world, experience and individual consciousness of every member of
the human race. Through the acceptance of the all-power within that
victorious consciousness, may every man, woman and child on the
planet and all those awaiting the opportunity of re-embodiment know,
experience and manifest the God-mastery which remains your gift to
the evolutions progressing upon the planet Earth.
The obedience to the FIAT of RESURRECTION obeyed so beautiful-
ly through nature SHALL NOW BE MANIFEST THROUGH THE SOULS OF
MEN AS WELL! So be it!

The Homes and Retreats of the Masters of Wisdom
TEMPLE OF MERCY, PEIPING, CHINA
April 15 through May 14, 1954
The Temples of Mercy, Forgiveness and Compassion, guarded and
sustained by the beloved Kwan Yin, Goddess of Mercy, are designated by
the beloved Sanat Kumara as the center to which the Spiritual Hierarchy
and those interested in forwarding the will of God will turn their attention
in this thirty-day cycle.
The great Temple of Mercy stands in the center of twelve lesser
temples, all of whose domes incline slightly toward the main temple in
silent honor and respect to the focus of the Mercy Flame. Upon its pres-
ence does all life depend for its redemption and restoration to God-
perfection when the desires, appetites and passions of the senses have
spent themselves and the soul arises again filled with determination to
find and sustain the divine pattern and plan for itself.
When mankind first drew the use of the free will into the qualification
of pure life, according to the desires of the separate self, the need for a
Flame of Forgiveness and Transmutation arose. Some way had to be de-
vised by which the soul, weary and spent, might purify those energies
consciously charged with impurity, weaving out of those redeemed ener-
gies the garment of immortality. Compassion, forgiveness and mercy,
being the nature of God, had existence and being long before the need
for such qualities was demanded on the earth.
To draw forth those God-qualities and to bring them to Earth, re-
quired the voluntary contribution of some God-free intelligences, who
chose to embody that activity, that nature of God. Acting as a step-down
transformer, they drew that radiation, that nature into the lower atmos-
phere, where it might be felt, experienced and shared by any and all the
sons and daughters of heaven who felt within themselves the desire to
return home, to fulfill their individual destinies, and, generally, to purify
the miscreations of the past and make things right.
The beloved Lord Gautama Buddha offered to draw forth that Flame
of Forgiveness, charge through it his own life essence and expand that
quality for mankind. In such service, he was the Chohan of the Seventh
Ray, wherein the mystic power of divine alchemy was made available to
all who would apply for it and choose to embody it through the energies
of their own lifestream. The beloved Kwan Yin succeeded him in this ser-
vice, and she, in turn, has been succeeded by the present Chohan of the
Seventh Ray, our blessed Master Saint Germain.
The radiation of mercy is amplified by every intelligence who chooses
