THE TEMPLE OF SHAMBALLA, HEADQUARTERS OF THE SPIRITUAL HIERARCHY

ELECTRONIC PATTERN: Visualize yourself standing beneath a glorious starlit sky gazing upward toward the heavens. Observe the foundation of a new constellation beginning to take form as three stars merge together as one, then their light expands outward creating a beautiful Lotus flower blooming within the glittering night sky. As this Lotus unfolds, it radiates forth the colors of the magnificent Three-fold Flame of life―a brilliant sapphire blue, a radiant gold and a soft pink ray into the atmosphere of Earth, awakening this same flame within the minds and hearts of all humanity.

The Control of the Four Lower Bodies

As the beloved Saint Germain has recently explained on various occasions, the four lower bodies―physical, etheric, mental and emotional―are closely interrelated, one with the other, just as climbers who are making a steep ascent upon a glacier are tied together for safety's sake. Each one depends upon the other for sure footing; upon the capacity and training of the other, in order to reach the apex of the mountain. The slip of the foot of any one is apt to plummet the entire group into a crevasse. It is exactly the same with your inner bodies!

If, through habit, your feelings or emotional body have been allowed to 'explode' at will and throw out resentment and rebellion with little or no attempt on your part to control them, that emotional body immediately pulls down with it your other three vehicles into the slower vibrations of the astral realm.

If the mental body is allowed to dwell upon thoughts of impurity or imperfection, whether it be so-called fact or fancy, it eventually involves the emotional body. That body then comes over to see what is going on, so to speak, a 'new party' is started. Thus the entire group again is plummeted into the psychic and astral realm.

If the etheric body is continually allowed to revert to the injustices of the past, it revivifies those distresses again, many times making them reoccur in your present experience. You know, the etheric body is a great one to 'watch' for such opportunities to express itself. That is when the etheric body becomes active and the stirring energies within it say: Do you remember thus and so? Finally, the mind and feelings get into the act and you enter the lower vibrations again.

Then there is only one thing to do and this same procedure has been used century after century by all sincere lifestreams who wish to become master of their worlds...that is, to change the vibratory action of those bodies by raising them, increasing the vibrations of those bodies to the point where harmony, purity, happiness, peace and general wellbeing exist!

Whenever you allow the vibrations of any one of your bodies to become discordant, you immediately sink to the lower vibrations. You then not only have to generate, through your application or use of the violet fire and whatever other applications of which you know enough 'steam' to get up out of that 'hole' again, but, while you are down there, you have opened your worlds to destructive energies which form the mass consciousness and then may flow into and become a part of your world.

Beloved ones, this is the law of the retreats! It is the law and the science of mastery which is taught by every being who has attained the right to be called Guru or Master and who accepts initiates and chelas for development. Humankind is always looking for an easy way out of their difficulties; for a 'vicarious atonement'; for someone else to pay their debt; someone else to set them free! There is no one else but your own consciousness that can eventually control the energy which has been entrusted to you from God. No one but yourself can control that energy for you! True, the Masters, Angels, Cherubim and Seraphim can and do give you assistance in quieting the whirls of destructively qualified energy which you have already set up and they 'pour oil on the troubled waters,' far more often than that of which you have any concept in your outer minds.

True, the Master Jesus―beloved Prince of Peace―when invoked by a soul in turmoil and in trouble, does send forth his radiation in answer to their calls and sometimes that one is sensitive enough to accept his peace. However, this is but a temporary relief! Until the individual himself rises in the dignity of his own Godhood and realizes that he, himself, chose to take and use life from the heart of the God of the universe, he cannot be self-master over that life!

Silence is also so important. When someone chooses to master his energies in dignity, poise and preferably in silence, he can succeed. If you tell others what you endeavor to do before it is successfully achieved, you dissipate your energies which might be used to accomplish your purpose. In the silence and dignity of your own Christ flame, determine that these vehicles which you use are going to serve the purpose for which they were created, to expand the virtues of God. You may choose to develop and radiate any one or more of a number of God virtues which this world so much requires at this time. Will you allow your emotional world to be a conduit from your presence and the Ascended Masters' realm to carry uninterrupted peace into the souls of men which are filled with pain; nations filled with unrest; an elemental kingdom despoiled by the ignorance, disinterest, unbelief and impurities generated by humanity?

Today I ask you to take an inventory of yourselves. You are Chelas now, and must move forward under your own ‘steam.’ These vehicles which are yours to control, you must keep in the use of God, if you are what you profess! You cannot serve two masters! You are serving God when your bodies are conductors for his grace; you are serving man when your bodies are reacting to the flash tides of human emotions!

Think it through, beloved ones! You say: All I am or have or ever hope to be or have is thine. That is a big statement! Are you confirming it in your daily living? It is up to you to create the glory of your causal body through your four lower bodies and make your holy spirit of God your personal aura. It is time now to bring your four lower bodies into alignment and then raise and consecrate them all to God and his service!
