Excerpt from Beloved Lord Maitreya’s
Instruction on the Occasion of the Wesak Festival
May 28, 1953
Oh, my Heart's Love, my sweet people! I KNOW what you SHOULD be, I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE! I know the desire for comfort that is within you, and every opportunity at Inner Levels that I receive, I hold you in my embrace, charging you with that confidence in your ABILITY to manifest that Christ Self in action.
Tonight, as the Great Lord Buddha, in his own Ascended Light Body, is seated
before the Lotus Throne, emanating a Love that would melt a STONE, the pilgrims
are filing before him and he places his hand upon each one's head, and in that
great impersonal loving benediction, gives them a TOUCH OF THE FEELING that is
Heaven, and they will NEVER forget it. You see, Lord Buddha has arisen to a
consciousness which none of us have YET attained and you know the phrase in the
Orthodox world "He comes trailing clouds of Glory." It is a Truth, that subtle
sweet essence that sweet anointing, that beautiful Elixir of God's own Breath
that is felt as it is breathed from his body and clings to him and at the touch
of his hand at the prostration of the pilgrims before him in his aura, for an
instant remembrance of the Father fills the soul with Peace, and with a thirst
to drink again and feel again that Happiness.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Considering we are little more than one year old, the growth and expansion of
"The Bridge" has been one of the most phenomenal activities of the Ascended Host
among Unascended mankind of this earth in a long time. Because of this, six
issues of the first printing of the 1952 volume are completely out of print. We
are endeavoring to reprint but this too has been delayed due to circumstances
apparently beyond our present control, among them being political disturbances
in Cuba where the first volume was printed. As soon as is possible we shall get
these back numbers to you. Please forgive us and thank you for your wonderful
Patience and loving cooperation at all times. Our deepest love and gratitude to
you our Gentle Reader.
The Manager
