To the Cosmic Spirit of Constancy and those Great Beings whose constancy of purpose, service and endeavor have drawn them into the Ascended Master Realm of Perfection:

We send our deep and abiding love to the Spirit of our Sun, whose constant, rhythmic outpouring makes possible the habitation of the Earth at this time! We direct our love and blessings to the Great Archii, Constance, who, together with the Beloved Jophiel, amplifies the virtue of constancy through the nature of mankind, when invited so to do. 

We invoke the stimulation of the smoldering spark of constancy that lies hidden within the depths of the Immortal Flame in each human heart! Beloved Constance, Spirit of the Sun! Play your constant light rays upon that spark until every man becomes constant in his resolutions to return to God; in his present service to God and his fellowman; in his devotion to the development of his particular capacities and talents, which he may offer on the altar of humanity before returning to his Celestial Home to go out no more!

We bless all the men and women who have walked the ways of Earth and, through constancy of purpose, have provided the benefactions which the masses have indifferently accepted but liberally utilized for personal pleasure and comfort!

This month, LET CONSTANCY of endeavor; of purpose; of service; BE MANIFEST among our gentle readers, our co-workers in this Activity and all mankind.

BELOVED KUTHUMl'S FOCUS AT KASHMIR, INDIA

October 15th, 1955, through November 14, 1955 

In the lovely rolling hillside of the Kashmir country in Northern India, the Beloved Lord Maitreya and his pupil, Kuthumi, have a focus dedicated and consecrated to the establishment of the tenets of Divine Love as expressed through the great teachers and educators of the human race.

Here, in the spiritual sanctuary of peace and tranquility, the Brothers and Sisters of the Golden Robe gather together and, sitting at the feet of Lord Buddha, Lord Maitreya, Kuthumi, Jesus and others of the Ascended Host, they learn the Way to carry truth to mankind along the lines of the current world religions.

The hillsides are covered with green grass, the beautiful flowers shine like diamonds upon this carpet and the sweet songs of the birds, the reflection of the golden light of the Sun and the silvery radiance of the moon are reflected upon the peaceful waters of the lakes.

The Second Ray serves mankind by developing the, consciousness of those gifted to impart Truth through all the avenues and channels which serve the race. At this season, you will find groups of mankind (in their finer bodies) who have offered to become channels to carry the truths they receive here to other members in their professions, gathered in reverent circles around the Teachers.

On the night of the Transmission Flame Class, the entire Brotherhood of the Golden Robe will gather together and in reverence and love, accept the outpouring of Lord Buddha's Wisdom and the conscious instruction of Lord Maitreya. The actual expansion of the Flame of Wisdom will be under the direction of Blessed Kuthumi.  

(NOTE: For further description of the focus in Kashmir, please see Transmission Flame Book, pp. 36-41; The Bridge to Freedom, Vol. 11, No. 4.)
