Thanksgiving at Shamballa

Divine Principles

November 1960

As we come to the close of the twelve-month cycle, all of those who represent the Spiritual Hierarchy are gathered at Shamballa, and here we celebrate a Cosmic Thanksgiving in which every one of the brothers is a participant. The great Audience Chamber is open for this Festivity and the evening before your national holiday, and for four days and nights thereafter, there is a constant outpouring of blessing upon every electron, elemental, animal, human, Angelic, Deva, Ascended Master and Cosmic Being who have consciously or unconsciously contributed to the forward progress of the race.

One of the most exquisite ways of preparing for the Christmas Season individually is for each lifestream to consciously and earnestly prepare his own ceremony of Thanksgiving and officiating upon the Altar of his own Christ Temple, invite into the presence of his own God Flame all of the life that has served him during the twelve months that have passed and, through a special blessing and benediction, confer upon that life the added substance of his own Christ Nature.

This ceremony will show each man how rich he is in the blessings that have filled his world through the channels in every kingdom, natural, human and Divine. Also, every Master to whom the individual extends an invitation to his ceremony, will respond and enter into the Sanctuary of the heart where such a Thanksgiving is being celebrated and this will bring a return of blessings far beyond the comprehension of the outer man.

THANKSGIVING SONG

Dear Beloved "I AM" Presence,

Grateful are we now for Thee;

From Thy Heart Lights perfect essence

Blazes now to set life free.

Let us see now, shining clearly,

From Thy Realm -- the Holy Grail --

Blessing all we love so dearly;

Through its Light God does prevail.

Grateful are we for the sunshine

Bright'ning earth and sea and sky;

And for all God’s many blessings

We so thoughtlessly pass by!

Thanks we give for Loves Forgiveness;

And from Mercy's Heart so true,

We invoke Gods Gift of Healing

To all bodies now renew.

For this land -- our native country,

Grateful shall we ever be.

Purify our homes and families;

Raise all consciousness to Thee.

In the Loving Heart of Freedom

Let us now and e'er remain;

Ever grateful in the service ’

Of Beloved Saint Germain

(Melody: What a Friend we have in Jesus)
