"We come together to celebrate his name and to recognize his adoration of Christ, his oneness with Serapis; for he was also a mason at the site of the Great Pyramid, and truly his Selfhood [is] contained in my own heart's devotion to him.

     "Thus, El Morya surely presents to us all the synthesis of hierarchy and the intimate knowledge of the Path. One so devoted to the will of God must surely know every step of the way of the seven rays and the magnificent beings of light who have fulfilled their purposes in the very midst of life on earth. [from page 568]

     "And therefore, we must cease to believe that any problem on earth, as large at it may loom, as much of Death and Hell as many be seething within it, cannot be reversed, turned around, challenged, and consumed by the members of this community worldwide, if they but set their hearts and dynamic decrees unflinchingly and unfailingly to the task.

     "I will tell you something that may comfort you, and it may enlighten you. And that is that there is not a single ascended master you will find in heaven who has not had to work very hard, to bear great burdens, injustices, and all manner of situations on earth in order to make that ascension. None of us have been exempt. And so Jesus said, "What they have done to me, they will do to you." [from pages 572-573 ]

     "This is one of my dreams for the community of Camelot, that we might draw together the best minds of the world who are the spiritual devotees, and in a climiate of creativity and invention and mutual stimulus, with angels guarding all around, there might be brought forth solutions to many desperate problems --- from the recurrence of cancer to other conditions which have, in fact, dumbfounded many of the best educated and those who sincerely would like to find answers to life's perplexing questions."
