Shamballa: Long Island, NY, USA

Love ye one another, children of the Light! This is the Edict of the Father-Mother God, and has been since the Beginning, is now and ever shall be. I pronounce this Fiat again today, as the magnificent Flame of Pure Divine Love emanates from my being to enfold you and all Life! 

Please be seated. 

Through the graciousness of the Beloved Lord Gautama, I have come into your midst this morning to represent him, our great Lord of the World, majestic Director of the Spiritual Hierarchy for this Earth. I pray that I may be able to impregnate your consciousness with the strength of the gentleness of that blessed one, he who is known so well for his Tenets of the Middle Way. 

Show me an individual who has completely surrendered his lower self to the Christ and there will be found one who has brought his four lower vehicles into Divine alignment through the Law of Balance, the glorious activity of the Threefold Flame of Love, Wisdom and Power, so controlled that there is no intrusion of the Human consciousness. 

Blessed ones, as I had the privilege of coming into your immediate midst today from the Etheric Focus, my Spirit was filled with reverence and awe as I gazed upon the Thought Form for this Class, a glorious crystal clear Globe with an aura of Golden Light, representing the Earth being infiltrated with the Light of God Illumination - the Gift of the Central Sun. There is a Golden Wreath of Victory above the Earth. This Thought Form encompasses all of Long Island, and it will continue to expand all through the week, to enfold the entire Planet with God Illumination and the Wreath of Victory will completely encircle the Globe, as the radiation of the chelas joins that of the mighty Beings assembled at this great Conclave. 

As you are aware, a Thought Form is given to you for the express purpose of showing you that which the Spiritual Hierarchy wishes to have accomplished at a given time. It is felt by 'the Powers that Be' that the chelas can further participate in the service of returning the Earth to her pristine Beauty through becoming perfectly attuned to their individualized Christ Self, as the tremendous radiation and directives of this Class flow freely to all of you within the compass of this Radiation and that, of course, includes all of the blessed chelas who are tuning in to these Meetings. 

Now for specifics... I have given you this admonition to love thy neighbor as thyself. Ah, lovely ones, how many of you have touched the periphery of the true meaning of that statement! Your mental body can be filled with the accretion of the Wisdom of the Ages, but until that Wisdom is clothed in the essence of the feeling world, it is a storehouse of information which one holds close to himself and which causes an imbalance in the vehicle. I do not infer that a chela who has developed an expansion of consciousness through a purified emotional world should propound those teachings from the housetops, so to speak, for unless the emotional and etheric vehicles are sufficiently purified to have a semblance of balance with the mental world, the elaboration of the stored-up teachings can be seriously affected by the other vehicles. 

One of the most important factors in the giving forth of spiritual knowledge is the example which the individual sets. For instance, when one truly endeavors to instruct his fellow-traveler, and then personally breaks the Law of Harmony, his lesson certainly will not have the desired effect. What think you of a driving instructor who is giving lessons to an individual and in that course of lessons tells him not to hit the curb when parking the car, and then the instructor is later seen doing that very thing? Most assuredly the pupil would not have much confidence in him.

The same holds true for one who is instructing another in the Spiritual Law - no matter what the fund of knowledge, if he is not an example of that Law, his teaching leaves a doubt in the consciousness of his pupil. There is an imprint in his mental and emotional vehicles of error, even though no worded comment may be made. 

Unless the emotional world and the etheric vehicle are sufficiently purified to have a semblance of balance or rapport with the mental world, the elaboration of the stored-up knowledge can be seriously affected or ‘watered down’. I repeat, one of the most important factors in the giving forth of Spiritual Knowledge is the EXAMPLE which the Teacher sets. 

I still have the privilege of serving in the capacity of Cosmic Initiator, and that is one of the reasons I am here today, for all during this week you will be taking tremendous initiations to prepare you for expanded service in the Light. It is not my desire to bring any pressure upon you which would cause you to be tense - for every word I speak is wearing a garment of Love and each minute electron coming from my Being is a Three-fold Flame which, if accepted in Love, will do much to bring Balance to all your vehicles. It is your responsibility to send this feeling of Balance to all the evolutions of this Planet. 

To assist you in this assignment, the Beloved Lord Ling is here with me today. He has graciously volunteered to keep the Flame of Happiness, which is his, particular Gift to Life blazing through your beings all this week, and at any other time this assistance is invoked. 

Beloved Lord Ling is my pupil and is about to graduate into the full Buddhic Consciousness. Some among you may think - "are you not the Buddha"? True, my children, it is my privilege to represent the Buddhic Consciousness so far as the Spiritual Hierarchy for the Earth is concerned, but surely you know that there are many Beings who have attained this Consciousness, just as there are many learned individuals on the Earth who could be the Dean of a specific College, but only one is accepted at a particular time to fulfill the requirements of that Office. There are individuals on this Earth, at the present time, who have the Consciousness of a Buddha and are now bound round with a thin band of forgetfulness. At the time when their specific consciousness is required, the holy Truth of the Father-Mother God will then filter through this gossamer veil! Their God-Illumination in its fullness will come forth when the Earth is more purified - at that time they will become the advanced Teachers of men! 

I wish to make a statement that is of tremendous importance, - please listen carefully. Should any of you know of an individual who is a Buddha in embodiment, or think you know one, it is a disservice to that lifestream to pass that knowledge on to another individual. The Buddhas now in embodiment require tremendous protection - protection from the entrance into their vehicles from others with whom they are associated, and also from the malefic forces rampant on Earth. It is never the part of wisdom for a chela to pass on privileged information to another, especially when that information has been given for the express purpose that they may assist the one who has a Cosmic Mission to perform. Learn the Law of discrimination and keep the tongues from being over-active. It is the propensity of the human consciousness to impart information of this nature, for it embodies the feeling of "I know more than you". Learn the lesson of harmlessness - for that Virtue is imperative. Let the tongue speak words with golden wings - be mindful always that you are responsible to the Supreme Source for every bit of energy which you release - in thought, word or deed! 

It is auspicious that a booklet on Happiness has been prepared for your enjoyment and illumination and is being released at this Class. It contains addresses by Lord Ling which will assist you to attune yourselves to his Radiation. So you see, nothing is happenstance, and Lord Ling coming into prominence at this time to assist mankind to develop the Quality of Happiness fits into the Pattern in a precise manner. The release of Happiness from your vehicles will do much to raise the Earth out of the negative activity of dissention and dissatisfaction. 

Do you not see the Pattern of the Thought Form and how you may participate to bring it to fruition? I feel sure you do and will cooperate! 

Ah, the manifold Blessings you will receive during these Classes. It is my pleasure to tell you that the Holy Trinity Picture in its more advanced form is now available for you. You may see it today as the Altar-piece in the Youth Group Sanctuary and Assembly Room. This beautiful picture shows the purified lower vehicles, represented by the aura around the physical consciousness, with the emerging Golden Man - the Holy Christ Self wearing its garments of God Illumination. As you will contemplate in humble gratitude this exquisite picturization, you will find the Golden Man within you taking over and serving through your lower garments. 

This Representation came forth under the direction of the Beloved Serapis Bey, and has the Blessings of the entire Spiritual Hierarchy; in particular the Beloved Holy Æolus who presented the first Picture. 

Children of Light, will you please stand... 

We have an Assembly of Cosmic Beings here at Shamballa which have never come to Earth at one time since the last Golden Age. In true obeisance I bow before the Light of the Members of the great Karmic Board, who so graciously decided to come after the Meetings at the Tetons. They deemed it wise for them to collectively observe you at close proximity and see what effect these Meetings would have on your consciousness! Do you not think that tremendous events are about to take place - events of great Spiritual importance? They are not here to advise you of Dispensations which were given at the Tetons which effect you personally many have been granted through the years... more will come... so control your feeling world if you have been anticipating that you would hear of further grants on your behalf! Count your blessings, unheard of through the centuries! 

I counsel you in deep Love to individually call for expanded protection for your vehicles and for all upon this Holy Island! 

Beloved Jesus stated at the Easter Class that great awakening was about to take place, and I assure you his were not idle words! You shall witness the Truth of his statement. 

I believe you now have sufficient to digest, so I shall lovingly enfold you in the Flame of Balance, and Lord Ling will bless you with his feeling of Cosmic Happiness, as I say - Good Morning!
