    A fluffy, dark gray cloud with a soft, rounded shape stretches across a blue sky. Sunlight subtly highlights the cloud's edges, creating a dramatic contrast between the light and dark areas.

    Unity in the Sanctuary

    The Sanctuary is composed of scattered members but tied by the bonds of perfect unity and love. It has been occupied from the earliest ages in building the grand Temple through the regeneration of humanity by which the reign of God will be manifest. This society is in the communion of those who have the most capacity for Light. They are united in Truth, and their Chief is the Light of the World himself, Jesus Christ, the One Anointed in Light, the single mediator for the human race, the Way, the Truth and Life, Wisdom, and the only medium by which man can return to God.

    We are approaching the period of Light and the reign of wisdom and love, that of God who is the source of Light. Brothers of Light, there is but one religion whose simple truth spreads in all religions like branches, returning through multiplicity into the Unity of the Tree.

    Sons of Truth, there is but one order, but one Brotherhood, but one association of men thinking alike in the one object of acquiring the Light. From this centre, misunderstanding has caused innumerable orders, but all will return from the multiplicity of opinions to the only Truth and to the true Order, the association of those who are able to receive the Light, the Community of the Elect.

    The True Community of Light can be only one.

    Light is apt for communication, where there is reception and capacity, but it constrains no one and waits its reception tranquilly. It is through the spirit and Light of Him who is Wisdom and Light of the World.

    We possess a Light by which we are anointed and by means of which we read the hidden and secret things of nature. In our School, we are instructed in all things because our Master is the Light itself and its essence.

    Our object is to raise your desires to seek the Light at its source, where your search for wisdom will be rewarded and your longing for Love satisfied, for Wisdom and Love dwell in our retreats.
