The Shamballa Letter
VOLUME 20, Number 4 January 22, 2001
Blessed chelas,
Now that I have shared what it is you need to protect yourself from, the question then becomes: How do I do this? If you will recall, before closing my letter of January 8, I said: "...consciously draw your cloak of protection tightly around you and take up your sword and shield of protection." There are several tools which can be used to create this mantle of protection and over the next several weeks I will share with you specific exercises to use so you can easily understand the importance of each part of the process. I will also discuss how, after you have established a powerful momentum in the creation of this cloak, you can simplify the activity so that at some point when your mantle of protection becomes such an integral part of yourself, it will serve you just as your heart, your breath, or the other automatic processes in your body and you will no longer need to consciously draw it forth to provide its service.
Before I go into specifics, there are several points to remember. First of all, the importance of the gift of protection can never be underestimated. Secondly, the rhythm of your application is just as important as the specific tool you use. Whatever suggestions I offer, if you do not use them it is difficult to experience their results. It is up to you to choose whether you want to work with the gift of protection hourly, daily, weekly or monthly. I suggest no less than daily.
Third, how you choose to work, again, is up to you. Your personal momentum and needs may require that you use a very elaborate ceremony to call forth and work with protection. On the other hand, there will be those of you who, just by placing your attention upon this great gift, you will accomplish your task. Again I would like to suggest that you begin by working with the examples I shall offer through these letters. Then, after you understand what is involved in the process, you can intelligently choose what will work best for you. Also realize that the way you work will probably change over time as you continue to evolve.
And finally, there will be times when you may forget or are unable to call forth your cloak of protection. Does this mean you are left unprotected? Absolutely not! You have your own task force of angels to intensify your shield of protection and on those rare occasions when you are unable to do your own work, they stand ready to assist you. That is, as long as you do your part. Do not expect to see results if you do not act responsibly to your own needs. I would like to add; just as the angels will be there for you, you can call forth the blessings of protection for another. In fact, as a chela of the Ascended Masters, this is part of your service to life. Remember, beloved ones, you are on the path to self mastery and this is part of the work!
