The magnificent activity which takes place at Shamballa each year bears witness to the wisdom of the Cosmic Law in allowing Beloved Morya to part the veil and allow the students to participate in the activities that engage the energies of the Brotherhood. 

Each year, as the twelve-month cycle draws to a close, Shamballa becomes Host to the lifestreams dedicated to bringing remembrance to the outer consciousness of the Divine Plan and the way and means by which each individual unit may weave the energies of his own life into fulfilling that Plan. 

The Great White Brotherhood, composed of the Ascended Beings who have foresworn Nirvana to remain as the Guardians and Teachers of the race, have always looked forward to this yearly gathering when they brought in the harvest of their endeavors working through chelas in the world of form, but it was primarily a private and closed activity in which very seldom would any chela participate who had a less spiritual standing than an initiate, or an adept. 

Now, thousands of unascended beings have woven for themselves a sufficient momentum of impersonal service, to give them passport into the Presence of the Lord of the World. Millions, while not able to pass through the flaming ring of spiritual force, which forms an actual periphery of the City proper, are, enabled at least to stand around the central core of qualified God Energy and be bathed in the radiation which is emitted from the grateful, thankful hearts of all who participate in these festivities. Praise and thanksgiving are the passport by which the soul is signaled out from among all the sons and daughters of men, and with a Guardian Angel is brought into the celestial radiance of Shamballa. The more gratitude and loving praise and thanksgiving that the consciousness can generate and sustain, the closer will the soul come to the central Temple, and the more often will it be allowed the privilege of standing in the blazing Presence of the Lord of the World; and the more individual progress will be the return current of energy for such service. 

The magnetic pull at Shamballa draws the souls of the entire race, as does the magnetic pull of energy of every Retreat when it is set into motion on the 15th of each month. If you go unconsciously, you do not receive the mental benefit that you can receive if you go consciously.

There is no desire to cause stress or strain in the feelings of the blessed students, but if they were to start on a journey on the earth plane with as little preparation and as little thought of the goal toward which they were driving or walking, I am sure they would not get there: The tendency of the human is to rely always upon a greater intelligence to do the actual work, but the joy and mastery within life comes when YOU incorporate the energies of your own world, and you find energy and vibration obedient servants that respond to your every directed thought and conscious feeling. 

The Great Flame blazing on the altar at Shamballa is actually the receptacle into which the qualified energies, offered in impersonal service to life, are poured. The service at Shamballa differs from that at the Rocky Mountain Retreat where the Brotherhood and the chelas will give a worded description of their endeavors, their successes and their failures; at Shamballa only energy is used to create this mighty Flame, which is the harvest of the year, but the description of the way that energy was gathered, qualified and consecrated, has no part in this service. 

It is a magnificent and beautiful experience to go to Shamballa. Ask your own outer consciousness that you remember the Glory of Shamballa and draw it into your feelings at this season.
