Summer Conference Address

Beloved Lord Gautama

Long Island, NY

July 5, 1965

My dear children, how grateful "I AM" to come into your midst and see the glorious Light shining from your blessed hearts, and to feel the Love which is emanating from your beings. You know, it is the Light which we of the Spiritual Hierarchy see. 

I ask that you each remain centered in the Heart of your beings, for in that way the Angelic Host in attendance can perform a beautiful Service in offering the Cup of your Light unto the Supreme Source of all Light, referred to by some as the Cosmic "I AM" Presence, others the Divine Principle of Life, the Father-Mother God, and many other Designations. Each cell of Light of the lifestreams here embodied as it glows more radiantly causes the Body of God to shine through on this Planet Earth in ever-expanding intensity, and which will assist in the dissipation of the shadows of the Personal effluvia not yet transmuted. 

I shall now refer in more detail to the Service which the Angelic Host is rendering today and which shall continue through all the Classes this week. 

As you know, "I AM" the Embodiment of Peace, that Quality which I found must be sustained when I was endeavoring to make complete surrender to the INDWELLING CHRIST and to become 'the Jewel in the Heart of the Lotus.' It was through Peace that I was enabled to maintain and sustain the Middle Way, which embodies enthusiasm but never fanaticism. Oh the manner in which the chelas should set themselves apart from the mass of mankind is by example and radiation, not by deeds which cause the average person to scoff, by reason of those actions which do not follow the accepted outer world code. Remember, always, you are living in the world but there is no reason that you should be 'of' it. 

There are blessed chelas who have journeyed from the far corners of the Earth to attend this Conference and I say to you by so doing; you are making possible a tremendous Service which we wish to expand throughout the Planet, in conjunction with everyone attending this Class, through the magnificent cooperation of the Angelic Host. 

In converse with our Beloved Holy Æolus, who has come from his Central Focus around the Sun to be in residence at Shamballa for the duration of this Class, it was decided Peace was the Quality which the peoples of this Planet require most at this hour. After our meeting of last evening, Beloved Æolus went into the Silence and in cooperation with that Glorious Being, the Goddess of Liberty, created from his Cosmic Heart thousands of tiny Doves which will he released at the conclusion of this Conclave. At the moment, the Angelic Host is creating a Protecting Aura around them and will continue to do so for the remainder of the week. 

At the closing Class next Sunday, during the Address of Beloved Saint Germain, the Goddess of Liberty, Beloved Æolus and my humble self will release these Doves. They will first enter your auras, which will make a tremendous Forcefield ere this week has passed. It is now encompassing all of Long Island and Manhattan, and through the cooperation of those blessed ones from other lands, it shall become world encompassing on Sunday. That is our expectation and we feel in our Hearts that all the blessed chelas will eagerly participate in this Service by maintaining harmony, and by not engaging in any activity of a negative nature. The Service will be rendered with or without the complete cooperation of the chelas, but greater far can be the activity with the chelas blending their energies with ours, and the benefaction to their individual lifestreams will be greatly expanded. 

Since the first entry of the little Doves into the aura of humans will take place when they are released into your own personal auras, it is our specific request that they will not be buffeted around by inharmony of any kind, and we know you will graciously accede in this matter. By giving this information to you at this time it will save needless extra release of energy on the part of the Angelic Host into whose protective custody they have been assigned. 

These tiny Doves when first created last evening were about the size of, oh let me see, yes, the little fireflies which one can see on a summer evening. Can you imagine what it will be like when these Doves, the Messengers of Peace, and the composite of whose beings is made up of that Virtue, wing their way through the atmosphere sending forth that Quality! 

The Angelic Host will return with them from time to time to the Forcefield of Long Island, where the Cosmic Dove of the Holy Spirit, whose wingspread has long since extended from tip to tip of the Island and now embraces Manhattan, will enable them to imbibe of the Essence of Peace for the continuance of this Service. Each dear chela throughout the Globe who will daily send them a blessing will form a 'way station' for the specific reception and anchorage of this Quality into the Planet and her evolutions. This is not just a beautiful ceremony which is taking place during this Class it is an answer to an imperative need at this time of chaotic and crucial conditions on this Earth. The Cosmic Dove over the Island could be likened in this instance, of course in harmonious service for the benefaction of the Earth, unto the Refueling Stations in space which are contemplated by some Nations. 

In the countries where to your outer consciousness THE BRIDGE TO FREEDOM does not have any chelas, we have contacted individuals in their finer bodies and they will participate in the service of daily recognizing the Activity of Cosmic Peace in which you will all be engaged. 

In your daily love to these little Doves, upon which they will grow and wax strong, remember, too, their Guardians, the Protecting Angelic Host. This is one avenue of the Service to which our Beloved Saint Germain referred years ago, when he said that the Angelic Host and man would engage in cooperative activity. 

It is the desire of the Spiritual Hierarchy that you will each become such Radiating Centers of Cosmic Peace by the time of the conclusion of this Conference, that that Virtue will be felt by those into whose auras you return. You are our Ambassadors of Peace, serving without outer portfolio, but with the greatest of all credentials, that of Pure Light and Loves 

I should like now to bring your attention to the Thought Form for this Class, which is a gigantic Dove of Peace. I should also like to add that this is to be a joyful and harpy experience for all of you, and in. no way is to engender strain or the dour radiation of extremism. Please remember the Truths embodied in the Eight-fold Activity of The Middle Way, and which bear repetition at this time: 

Right Belief

Right Thought

Right Speech

Right Action

Right Exertion

Right Remembrance

Right Means of Livelihood

Right Concentration. 

I wish also to direct your attention to the tremendous activities which are taking place at the Rocky Mountain Retreat, at the half-yearly Council, where the great Karmic Board is sitting and Cosmic Visitors from all the Planets in this System are assembled; some, too, from other Systems. Remember that the Angel of the Scrolls will be waiting for your Petitions. As you will note, a Receptacle has been provided for your written Petitions, which will be burned after the concluding Class next Sunday. 

This evening beloved Æolus and I will be Hosts at Shamballa for the Cosmic Beings assembled at the Rocky Mountain Retreat. Can you envision the great Light which will enfold the Earth on this joyous occasion? We feel sure these Cosmic Beings will be enthralled by the expansion of Light from the hearts of the chelas who have made the pilgrimage to Long Island for this so important Class. A service of greater magnitude than you can presently realize is being rendered by you blessed ones, for the Purity of your lifestreams is doing much to re-magnetize the currents which this Island once emitted, and which shall again manifest. Sanctified is the Service of all the chelas, here present or not, who are truly dedicated to the further expansion of the Activities of the Spiritual Hierarchy from the Central Focus here established. 

A little introspection will enable you to more fully understand the meaning of SHAMBALLA. This is not a mythical Focus, but an ever-expanding Center of Light, into which is tied the energies of all Retreats for this Planet. It is the 'Heartbeat' of Light for this Earth, through which all the components of the Planet are nourished and sustained. 

In closing, it shall be my great pleasure to bless the food which you will partake after this Address, and as my guests it shall contain the very Essence of the Virtues of Divine Love, and Peace, and Illumination, with which we desire to nourish your beings, and through you, the entire Planet and her evolutions. 

My Love, Peace, Illumination and Deep Gratitude now enfolds you, each dear one. 

Gautama, Lord of the World.
