My Beloved Children,

I have told you that I AM as close as your hearts' desire and your thoughts of Me, so it is My Joy to be in your midst today!

There are many things that we could talk about, but today the most vital subject is that of forgiveness and mercy. Through forgiveness, the gifts of Our Father-Mother God may flow freely into your worlds, removing all vestiges of human consciousness that still remain in the way of this mighty love. This year you are consistently giving a beautiful affirmation; 'Blazing in, through and around my four lower vehicles, the full momentum of the Violet Transmuting Flame, the most Powerful Aspect of Love, instantly transmutes all outstanding energy back into perfection!'

Never think it is accidental that Thoughtforms and Themes are given in certain, specific ways! There is always a significant reason for the Thoughtform and the accompanying Theme! Often, there may be more than one reason. As a chela, it is your responsibility to give the words of the Thoughtform, and to meditate upon the meaning, and then to affirm the Theme. It is Our responsibility to reveal these inner meanings to you when We have the opportunity, through these classes and conferences, the Shamballa Letters, and your personal meditations with Us.

By fulfilling your responsibility of working with the Thoughtforms and Themes, a momentum is built that prepares the way for the release of the inner meanings to your outer consciousness, where they may be clearly perceived! Thus you will grow more quickly in Spiritual Consciousness.

As We fulfill Our part of this process by revealing the possibilities, We assist you to progress more rapidly! Understanding may not be easy to achieve, and that is why our partnership in your development is so very significant! We―who have walked this path before you―may act as the God Parents, bringing you revelations in the form of principles. In this way, it is taken out of the personal. However, you must be willing to apply all spiritual principles given to your personal lives! If not, that particular lesson will be brought to your attention again.

Spiritual Principle may be easy to understand, but difficult to relate within your own lives for several reasons. No one likes to think there is still some problem within their own consciousness, especially after sincere attempts to clear it. Beloved Ones, remember that the first rule of forgiveness is self-forgiveness!

I would like to explain a point that you may not have realized previously. Most individuals have a person or circumstance in their life that is difficult for them to deal with. If this happens to be true for you, consider the possibility that you represent a similar difficulty to them. Each of you has externalized at least one outer example of your inner difficulties in order to see it clearly. If it can be forgiven and loved free outside of yourself, where it is visible, then self-forgiveness becomes much easier! If there is even one person in your life right now with whom you have a problem, take it into the loving silence of your heart and call on the Law of Forgiveness!

Remember, no matter how clearly you may see what another person is experiencing, your only responsibility is to hold the immaculate concept for them. No matter how pure and loving your intention may be, the result of offering advice is often resistance. It is far better to look for the helpful attitudes and actions of others, and give them your encouragement and gratitude. Just as the first law of forgiveness is self-forgiveness, the first law of spiritual healing is to apply all lessons and understanding to your own lives first. If you do this persistently and with determination, you will quickly rise above the personal!

One of the major clues to the need for forgiveness is your reactions. If you feel discomfort, or discover that you have a strong opinion about some outer circumstance, take time to look within for the cause, and forgive it. We count on you, Our chelas, to apply the Law of Forgiveness and Joy, thus setting the loving example to those who do not yet understand. As you do this important inner work, you provide a purified chalice through which Our energies may be poured forth to all life on your dear planet Earth!

Be grateful for the Law of Forgiveness! Be grateful that you can love life free from the wheel of karma, before it can act, manifest, or longer be sustained! I invite you to walk through your precious lives with Me! Use the sacred Flame to love life free! Each time you look upon another living being, look not with eyes of judgement, but with eyes of love, through which the Violet Fire may flow to baptize with Mercy and Compassion!

If those who seek more Spiritual light do not yet understand the teachings We give, I ask that you surround them with love and compassion. Together, we will extend to them our understanding―for there is a right time and place for each lifestream on Earth to awaken to the Light that is given so freely.

It is of less importance that all men have the same understanding than it is for them to know that God is a God of Compassion, Love and Mercy. They need to know and accept that God lives within them, and knows every atom of their physical bodies, every atom of their minds and hearts, and that He loves them, just as they are right now! They need to know that this Love is eternal! Through you, blessed chelas, this can be accomplished in the physical world.

My Temple is open to you all during this year, and I invite you to visit as often as you desire.
