Summer Conference

and Retreat

Lord Gautama

July 24, 1993

Greetings, beloved friends!

It is I who has chosen to welcome you here to Shamballa, as you are gently received into Her loving embrace for nine days of glorious communion with God and the Angels, the Ascended Masters and many of your brothers and sisters in the Human Family. I have looked forward to this day with great anticipation for many, many weeks. I have observed each one of you, who are sitting here this morning, as you went about your business, preparing not only your classes―but also yourselves―for this Conference. The additional benefit of director's training and spiritual retreat for anyone who wished to participate in these activities, is indeed, an added blessing not only for you, but for this sacred Focus of Light.

The unity and brotherhood that develops between the chelas who attend the conferences brings great joy to My heart. The close friendships that are created and remain strong long after a conference is completed, serves to greatly increase and strengthen the Body of Light, allowing a more powerful release of energy to be given to the children of Earth in answer to their calls.

Those of you who regularly attend the conferences are now seeing, hearing, and feeling greater Wisdom and Power circulating through the Heart Center, as these qualities are tempered and balanced by the Love that flows so freely from the Holy Spirit and His Disciples. Truly, The Temple of the Cosmic Holy Spirit is fast becoming a manifest reality upon the planet Earth. You―My beloved ones, are playing a major role in this very important act of creation, and it is upon this foundation that the New Age of Spiritual Freedom will be based.

Again I wish to say WELCOME! Drink deeply of the essence of Love, Wisdom, and Power―perfectly balanced, as you walk these grounds and participate in the classes. Enjoy the wonderful gifts of friendship you make while you are here, so that when this conference draws to a close, you will return to your homes refreshed, renewed, and ready to share the gifts you have received during this week with others. Go forth and know all is well, My children. All is very well, and for that I AM most grateful.

Gautama
