New Year Conference

Petition Class
Beloved chelas of light,
Every year for a long time, the sacred temple of Shamballa has been open in December, while the Grand Teton Retreat in the Rocky Mountains in the northwestern section of the United States formally opens its doors on the first day of January, as the chelas of The Bridge to Spiritual Freedom make their transition into a new yearly cycle. The end of each year represents the ascension and release of the work during the previous twelve months. It is our offering, or harvest, of the cooperative work of the ascended masters with the chelas, to the Lord of the World. That work is based upon the thoughtform and theme of the year just past, and at midnight on the thirty first of December, it is released to humanity to continue its service within the various levels of unfolding consciousness in other members of the race, who are just awakening, or shall begin to stir from their spiritual slumber of the ages. Having been energized for a whole year by the ascended masters, cosmic beings, and chelas, it is these sacred thoughtforms and their accompanying themes that act as the clarion call to awaken the mass consciousness.
For you, the students of The Bridge to Spiritual Freedom activity, the transition from the outgoing year into the new represents the establishment of the next step in your spiritual work. All during December and on into January of the new year, the bridge between Shamballa and the Grand Teton retreat is open, thus uniting the activity taking place at both locations. The Karmic Board also convenes at the temple of the Great White Brotherhood to receive the petitions of the ascended masters and cosmic beings, together with those of their chelas, and there is much activity at inner levels regarding these petitions. It is during this time that the Karmic Board decides where it will be most advantageous to give additional releases of energy to assist in the ongoing work done on behalf of the Earth.
Overseen by Elohim Vista, the cosmic highways are opened, and solar lords and ladies of great stature also attend the activities that take place at both retreats during this time. The chelas travel back and forth frequently, attending lectures and seeking assistance in formulating their petitions. There are reunions and festivities among the masters and other beings of light, as well as their unascended co-servers. All of the chelas feel the exhilarating
— and sometimes overwhelming — effects of all the inner and outer activities that are taking place.On January first, the Karmic Board then hands down their decisions regarding the petitions offered and the new thoughtform and theme are released to the chelas attending the winter conference at midnight. By the next morning, most of you have already memorized the theme, for as a group, you have worked all night to anchor it into the very physical substance of the Earth, as you enthusiastically enter the service of a new year, under the protective guidance of a new Enfolding Spirit and Sponsors.
At this point, beloved co-servers of Earth, we say, may your enthusiasm and love sustain you for the coming year, for the importance of your service on behalf of your planet and all its evolutions cannot be overestimated. You are the open door of this entire cooperative endeavor, and it is upon you that we must depend for the success of every forward step taken on behalf of the human race. We pray always for your strength, courage and love to carry you forward, for―even as you do your work to the very best of your individual and collective abilities, we know you are also facing the initiations and tests that accompany each new undertaking. Many experiences come just as you receive new teachings and the divine principles you need to understand and incorporate them into your lives and affairs.
Because new experiences are seldom anticipated, you must always remain in a state of listening grace, knowing beyond all shadow of doubt that we
- your ascended brothers and sisters who have walked this very same path before you - sustain you with our every breath and heartbeat, through each struggle.Know our love! Trust our love! Rest in the arms of your beloved I AM Presence, knowing there is nothing we will not do to help you take these steps, until the time when you walk into our full embrace of light, with no veils to dim your perception, never to leave again. We love you, and we bless your every effort to increase the light of God that is eternally victorious, as you move forward in this new year!
Enfolding you in the everlasting light
of the Ascension Flame,
I AM Serapis Bey
