Summer Conference Address
Beloved Lord Surya
Shamballa : Long Island
July 17, 1976
Friends of Heaven, each a microcosm in the boundless Sea of Infinity, I call your attention this morning to the emotional activity of life!
I have a special reason for referring to the Water Element - for from our Retreat at Suva through the centuries we have learned to protect this Focus from the capricious and sometimes raging storms of the Water Element!
At this time in the Earth's evolution it is essential that the chelas learn to control their own emotional vehicles. I do most sincerely commend you for your accomplishment thus far!
However, the chelas are in the minority when we consider the vast numbers of the peoples of this Earth, who at the present time have no concept of the power for Good which results from emotional control.
As the Oceans and Seas cover the greater portion of this Planet, I appeal to you today on behalf of the masses. Currently through the service which is being rendered this year by the Spiritual Hierarchy and the chelas serving with us, it is as though the Hand of God has stilled the roaring waves... the waves of the emotional vehicles. Seeing as we do the still un-controlled emotions of the many which would be stirred into destructive action by any so-called catastrophe that might take place... I repeat, might take place, it is expedient that we render greater assistance... and your continued cooperation is of vital importance.
As you know, I had the honor of serving as the Enfolding Spirit of last Year, and it was not only my privilege, but my bounden responsibility, to quell the emotional activity of all life.
The calming Flame of Peace, through the Threefold Activity of Life, is flowing to all at this specific time when the Radiation of our Retreat is accelerated... and you are presented an opportunity to render tremendous assistance to the masses!
Referring further to our Focus, you know that we use the magnificent activity of the Water Element within the very confines of the physical Focus, to not only inspire all who come here, but as an unguent to the emotional garments by registering its Beauty and Peace in the etheric consciousness.
In a smaller measure you know what it means to gaze upon the still waters of a lake and as the placid picture presents itself to your emotional worlds, how you are blessed through the benediction of the peaceful radiation.
When you realize your emotional vehicle is composed of countless Undines, consider their gratitude as you sustain Peace in your feeling worlds. I counsel you most sincerely to remember this fact. When any part of life has an emotional outburst... all life is affected thereby!
Think, too, when the Undines of great and imposing stature go on a rampage... when the tremendous Sylphs of the Air are disturbed as the result of etheric activities of an uncontrolled nature. It is parallel to the same components in your own garments... how they react when irritated.
Perhaps you are aware of all this, but it is expedient that I refresh your memory... for buried within the etheric vehicles of humanity en masse are many causes and cores of imperfection which could be set into action through emotional irritation.
We are depending upon you to further purify the emotional activity of all life . . . you have the "tools" to accomplish this . . . through the transmuting power of the Violet Fire and other sacred Agents of Purification. We anticipate your continued Service!
This Planet has just experienced the glorious radiation of Peace and Unity as a result of the Fourth of July Celebration, and the hearts of humanity have been gratified at the harmonious radiation which has resulted there from. In this state of consciousness, the Spiritual Hierarchy has been able to accomplish tremendous results in the quieting of the emotions of the masses . . . . and I believe you can individually attest to this.
The Beloved Micah, Angel of Unity, has been able to reach into the hearts of the many and enable them to feel the blessing and presence of their Christ Selves. We believe you will put forth every effort to keep this feeling sustained. One of the most effective agents in stilling the waters of the emotions is the use of Music.
We appeal to you to employ it in your homes and in your Classes, Yes, worded Decrees are essential. However, it is the statement with FEELING which goes forth accompanied by harmonious tones that accomplishes its purpose more easily.
We would hope that you learn to use music extensively, either with Decrees or at intervals.
If any do not feel compatible to this type of service, might I add, and very kindly, your emotional bodies require improvement. This is not censure, it is loving advice . . . yours to accept from a friend who seeks to assist you. I trust I have made my point!
Today we present to you the improved Ritual of the Cup Service, and I am requesting that it be included in the same issue of THE BRIDGE as this Message, for we wish to place it before the chelas for incorporation in the Transmission of the Flame Ceremony.
In the not too distant future we will release a new Order of Service for Classes, to conform to the higher rate of vibratory action of this New Age of Ceremonial. At that time your Cup and/or Communion Service will be included... but in the interim it will be available in your BRIDGE magazine.
I wish you to take particular note of the Cup Service, for at a later date as you use it in your individual Class Service, and the Water Element is placed within the Cup and the chelas partake thereof, the communicants will receive a tangible blessing to further accelerate their own evolution.
Beloved chelas of Light, I have plunged into the Heart of Infinity... into the mighty reservoir of the Emotional Element through the centuries... and from the well of my own Being, I now anoint your emotional garments with its Sacred Essence... accept this glorious Elixir, and dispense it to all Life!
Thank You for your kindly attention.
Lord Surya
