TO SHAMBALLA, CITY OF LIGHT:

From your Radiant Presence there was sent forth eons ago the very first call to the hearts and spirits of the Guardians of the Race to gather around the Banner of Beloved Sanat Kumara and to learn, again, how to teach the masses to redeem mankind and all imprisoned life, everywhere. 

Into the lovely and gracious Presence of Sanat Kumara, the illuminati of the race answering the call of LOVE DIVINE! Shamballa, went forth the first Messengers, anointed by Sanat Kumara, charged with the spiritual fires of a newly awakened desire to serve the recalcitrant race. 

Always the name of Shamballa rings in the hearts of those privileged to have visited it, been blessed by it, and who have gone forth, renewed in Spiritual Vigor, to bless the masses of mankind. Now, a new Lord of the World occupies the place of Sanat Kumara! He, too, is a radiant Presence of Love, Lord Gautama. At the end of each year, into Shamballa come the Cosmic Beings, the Ascended Ones, the Angels, and the devoted chelas, to commune with him, to be re-assigned to service in the name of imprisoned life everywhere! 

We, who have visited Shamballa, who have walked over the marble Bridge back into the world that requires assistance and redemption, bless the builders of Shamballa, its original great Lord, Sanat Kumara, and now, his successor, Lord Gautama. Without the pressure of pure Divine Love, with which Sanat Kumara and Lord Gautama have animated us, we should have slept the slumber of the lethargic rather than serving in Light the New Day! One Day, in the not too far distant future, Shamballa shall be known, loved and blessed by all mankind. Hasten that day! 

THE THREE WORLD MOVEMENTS

THE GOLDEN PLUME OF WISDOM,

THE BLUE PLUME OF POWER,

THE PINK PLUME OF LOVE

An Instruction by Beloved Maha Chohan, read from the Platform at Philadelphia on November 8th, 1953, in which it is said that the Pink Plume of Love is The Bridge to Freedom Activity. 

In explaining recently the perfectly ordered sequence of the three great releases of the Masters' Light and Love to the people of Earth in the last century or so, the Beloved Maha Chohan had this to say, in substance: 

The Golden Plume of Wisdom

As you know, every 100 years the Great Ones in charge of a planet and the illumination and raising of their people, are given a quota of Light Substance, which is Energy, to use to forward their plans on that particular "star". In the 19th century (the 1800's) those in charge of our planet used their quota for that century in bringing forth and working through the Great Theosophical Society which did so much to make the Masters more real to the Western mind and world. There was much accomplished which made it so much easier to bring their later activities into greater acceptance by the Western mind in both Europe and America. This, in reality, was a part of the Great Divine Plan for redeeming the Earth and her peoples, and was the release of the GOLDEN PLUME OF WISDOM of the Three-fold Flame - the Supreme Power in the Universe. 

The Blue Plume of Power

In the 20th Century, about 1930, the Great Ones again invested their energies through Mr. Ballard, to begin with, in the bringing forth and establishing the "I AM" Activity, and the group activities from about 1935 to 1950 returned that energy through the singing and decrees and various activities of the groups all over the world. This was the release of the BLUE PLUME OF POWER which quality, not being balanced by LOVE AND WISDOM, could not continue to do its perfect work. 

The Pink Plume of Love

The present NEW ENDEAVOR (The Bridge to Freedom Activity) has come forth as the PINK PLUME OF LOVE activity and must be carefully guarded and supported always by WISDOM AND POWER that it remains Divine Love and does not become soiled by the outer mind's ideas of so-called "love" or become maudlin sentimentality. Thus we see the thread of Truth running through all these Activities and "time and harvest" will prove the authenticity and God effect of this New Endeavor (The Bridge to Freedom). God bless you!
