Man has dreamed of visiting the legendary Shamballa, the fabled Shangri-La, and sacred enclaves on the continents of Lemuria and Atlantis. And once he could--if he knew the secret pathways and mountain passes and was willing to brave the trek. Then darkness fell, the temples were desecrated, mankind entered an age of barbarism and all but a few adepts were cut off from the Eternal Order. Their retreats were withdrawn to the etheric plane beyond the physical realm, reachable only by the most advanced initiates. With the dawning of the Aquarian age, lightbearers were once again given the opportunity to enter these retreats--this time by soul travel, apart from the body. This volume includes a series of letters from ten ascended masters who have opened their retreats to a wider circle of students.
