BELOVED ASPIRANTS TO THE COMFORT FLAME: 

"I Am" so extremely grateful that so many of you are desirous of becoming a Comfort to the rest of life! I have been invoked and welcomed by mankind for many ages in my service of bringing Comfort where needed, but as soon as the temporary wave of Karma had passed, I found little interest in the ways and means of serving life as I endeavor to serve. Many men want the gift but so few desire to be or to learn how to become the givers! 

"I Am" grateful for the opportunity of following the powerful and peaceful radiation of Kwan Yin in my service as Host to the Great White Brotherhood and mankind at this time. I have felt for centuries that Mercy and Comfort walk hand in hand, for one must have mercy for imprisoned life before such a one can bring the slightest comfort, even to agonized flesh. 

I shall appreciate your endeavors to invoke my living Presence and the actual feeling of Comfort which is my aura during this period. Then endeavor to re-create through your own sphere of influence the Comfort you desire (I hope) to bring to the rest of life. 

As the Great Himalaya has offered to act as Host with me, bringing all his power of Cosmic Peace to the Activity, I know you will, individually and as collective groups, become our Comfort and Peace not only for the short time of the actual Transmission Flame Service but throughout the entire period when every God Being will be intensifying through his or her own consciousness the Flame we have magnetized, and which we are radiating through the world for those who desire to receive it. 

Love and blessings,

MAHA CHOHAN

DEAR COMFORTED FLAME FROM GOD'S HEART: 

God, the Father, God, the Mother, God, the Holy Spirit of Cosmic Christ Comfort, bless you and yours as never before during this coming 30-day period of blessing to the Earth. This dear planet, with all her struggling evolutions (human, angelic and elemental) needs the God-quality of COMFORT about as much or more than any other blessing at this time. There is so much pain, unhappiness and distress that the planet Earth swings heavily on its bent axis and utters a groan into the surrounding atmosphere. This, of course, is a discord projected into the Melody of the Spheres created by the other planets of this particular System. To remove the cause of this discord we work as diligently as possible, in and out of the body (awake and asleep). 

COMFORT! A heavenly word, a pleasing word, a soothing word, a word that brings peace and rest to the feelings, even as it is spoken. Everyone WANTS comfort but, tell me, who is willing to GIVE it? 

Do you know it is a Divine Law in this Universe that, in order to HAVE a thing, you must GIVE it first? Sounds like a paradox, doesn't it? Well, it isn't if you will think on it a moment. You know, even your own photograph must be taken from you before it can be given to you! You have to GIVE (expose) your face to the camera before it can record the picture and thus return it to you. In other words, whatever good you want, decree that all mankind be given that blessing also and you will hasten your own release from distress. 

COMFORT is a feeling. Anyone can be a comfort to life if he or she wants to even if they do not have a cent of money. After all, money (while it is very necessary in our present economic scheme) is but a SYMBOL of abundance and a means of exchange. It is comparable to the blood in the body, carrying away that which is not needed and bringing that which is. In fact, blood is more necessary to life than money, yet who agrees with that? When you awaken in the morning, do you worry about not having enough blood to take you through the day? Think it over! You can live without money, but you cannot live without blood. Yet WHO is grateful for the latter? Gratitude is one of the attributes of comfort. 

To be grateful for the every day gifts of God to his people is a comfort to all that lives. For instance, the Sun and its light are a comfort. If you don't believe it, just let it stop shining for about three days and see how you feel when it shines again. Air is a comfort when you want breath. Water is a comfort when you are thirsty and the solidity of the Earth is a comfort under your feet, especially if you have just come from a trip on "choppy" sea or air, by boat and airplane. Comfort is ever with us if we will accept it, but it is taken so much for granted that it doesn't seem so important. 

Wouldn't you like to be a comforting presence to the life you daily contact? There is a very wonderful way you can do this, train yourself to visualize the luminous Presence of Beloved Jesus over all you meet, capping their form with that blazing white light figure just as you cap a fountain pen over its writing point. This not only protects the individual for whom it is done, but also the one who calls it forth. It also opens the door for the Beloved Jesus to bring comfort to that life which could not be done otherwise. 

A comforting person is a practical one, not a "visionary" or impractical idealist that lives in the clouds. A comforting presence is one who lives as much as possible with his feet on Earth and his head in Heaven that is, his attention upon that which brings practical every-day comfort to his fellowman. 

Just try this experiment for thirty days and you will want to live in it always. Two melodies may be used this month - "Homing" (the key-note of the Beloved Maha Chohan) and "At Dawning" (to which there are words to the Comfort Flame in September 1954, issue of "The Bridge").  

The color of the flame is white with a faint touch of pink and the (breathing) statement to be used is: 

1        2                  3                    4            5        6        7        8

"I AM inbreathing the comforting feeling of love divine from Maha Chohan 

The above statement is repeated for each of the following activities - "absorbing," "expanding" and "loving."

Your comforting friend of light
