"The Bridge"

November 1957

Born out of the seed-idea received by our gracious Regent, Sanat Kumara (in his earnest and selfless desire to help the sweet Earth in her time of greatest darkness) nourished by the love of Sanat Kumara and the selfless renunciation of his Divine Complement, the Cosmic Being Venus - the Spirit of Shamballa, was Earth-born in the very Presence of Sanat Kumara himself and his Spiritual Court, being practically made manifest in the substance of this physical appearance world by his willing helpers.

The Spirit of Shamballa then became and remains today a living pulsating vibrant and radiating Center of Living Light, motivated by Divine LOVE; sustained by SERVICE; energized by PRACTICAL WORKS on behalf of the redemption of the evolutions using the planet Earth as a schoolroom.

Each Being, including our new Lord of the World Gautama (former Buddha) and our previous World Teacher, Lord Maitreya (now the Buddha), responded to the Divine feeling of that ineffable Love, entered into the Shining Presence of Shamballa, received there the impetus to go forth in impersonal service and, after each visit, left some of their own essence of Universal Brotherhood to further develop the Spirit of Shamballa. This Spirit is a real, living, vital, intelligent Being of Light! It is a Source of encouragement to all who seek more Light upon their spiritual paths. It is also the impetus to the teachers of the race to go forth and serve the Lord.

As all Divine Beings enter into this Spirit at the beginning of this Holy Season, bringing in the sheaves of their accomplishments of the year, this Spirit glows with added Light. By placing your attention upon the Spirit of Shamballa at least once in every twenty-four hour period, consciously enjoy its blessedness and let it energize in and through you the vital spiritual energies from your Holy Christ Self so that you, too, may engage in the delightful task of "widening the borders of God's Kingdom" here on Earth.

"I AM "— THE ONE!

Be still and know "I AM" the One,

Reality - the Holy One;

You were before and shall again become! 

Come now to me in listening Grace —

And see again my Holy Face;

And then to know you are "I AM" — the ONE! 

"I AM" within this heart of thine;

And long for you to claim - "I AM"! 

Come join me here in Love sublime;

Return now Home and be Divine;

"I AM" - the ONE; you really are - "I AM"!

A Prayer For Peace!

This is my prayer,

O Lord of all the Nations;

A prayer for Peace

For Lands afar and mine.

Heaven is my Home;

All mankind’s HOME Eternal!

And loyal hearts are calling to Thee!

Yes, loyal hearts in other lands are calling --

For Peace on Earth...

Good will to all mankind!  

My country skies

Are blue' and so the ocean;

And sunlight bright

From Helios here shines;

But other lands have sunlight,

Rain and flower,

And skies may be as blue there as mine!

Oh, hear my prayer, O God of all Creation!

A Prayer for Peace

For every land and mine!

(Melody -- Finlandia — [Sibelius)
