MOUNT ECCLESIA
'Mount Ecclesia' is a picturesque spot of nature grounds in Oceanside, California (southern California) and the location of the international headquarters of a fraternal and service organization called The Rosicrucian Fellowship. It is also the location of its spiritual healing temple, called "The Ecclesia", situated upon the promontory of a high mesa.
Since its foundation, the Rosicrucian Fellowship faithfully observes the basic condition, set by its founder Max Heindel, that no price, membership dues or fees, should be put on its teachings. Mount Ecclesia's foundation archetype, highest ideal or mission, is to become a Spiritual Center in the world, as an effort:

Foundation
Mount Ecclesia was launched in October 28, 1911, through a ceremony of ground-breaking which consisted in planting a large Cross with the initials C.R.C. — representing the symbolical name Christian Rose Cross, the Head of the Order of the Rose Cross (Rosicrucian Order) — painted in gilt letters on the three upper ends and with a climbing rose. An excerpt of the first hand description of the mentioned event is as following:
The Healing Temple "The Ecclesia" was erected, for the purpose of affording more powerful means for the healing of disease, and dedicated on December 25, 1920. Spiritual Healing meetings are held in this holy place at a regular time each day by the Probationers who have consecrated their lives to this work.
As in all the solar temples, "The Ecclesia" portal is facing east (the rising sun). In front of the portal stand two palm trees. The portal is constituted by a triangle structure upon two round columns (pilasters), containing in the centre an equilateral triangle with the 'All-seeing-eye'. The columns fuse Greek and Roman styles, each one with a capital crowned by a finial globe. The round 12-sided building architecture is composed by round arches and narrow round inward windows. Its great dome is composed by a cupola crowned by a golden globe with a finial of lights. The inner portal and the Temple's interior is ornamented with alchemical and astrological symbols. It is a solar temple dedicated to the coming Age of Aquarius.
In June 29, 1920 (from 11:55 A. M. until 12:02 P. M.), the vision of an event of Spiritual nature at ground's site was reported as following:

In July 23, 1920 (at noon), during the laying of the cornerstone in the north-eastern corner of the temple, the purpose of The Ecclesia was stated in accordance to the commands of Christ, namely, "Preach the gospel and heal the sick":
The White House of God
In the West Coast of the United States, in the sunny lands of the California state and overlooking the blue pristine waters of the Pacific ocean, a White House was built in 1920 to became in due time the world's Spiritual center. This House aims ''to gather all churches into one great Christian Brotherhood'' for the coming age in human evolution that brings a new direction to the Christian religion. It is the last Temple, otherwise the Third Temple, that is, ''the most holy'' House of God: ''The Ecclesia'':
