Volume 1 No. 24                                                                                                              November 23, 1952 

As we come to the close of the twelve-month cycle, all of those who represent the Spiritual Hierarchy are gathered at Shamballa, and here we celebrate a Cosmic Thanksgiving in which every one of the Brothers is a participant. 

It is a marvelous opportunity to release the concentrated blessings of Life upon each and every one who has served and increased the Comfort of the Universe during that period. 

The great Audience Chamber is open for this Festivity, and the evening before your national holiday and for four days and four nights thereafter, there is a constant outpouring of blessing and benediction upon every electron, elemental, animal, human, Angelic, Devic, Ascended Master and Cosmic Being, who have consciously or unconsciously contributed to the forward progress of the race. 

It is a beautiful sight to see the various kingdoms gathered to receive the honor and blessing of the Sun of our System through its Representative, in conscious gratitude for life well spent. Also to this great Feast of Thanksgiving certain members of the human race are invited and given the honor and recognition which they have earned through meritorious service in the world of form. There is no lifestream who has given "even a cup of cold water" in the Name of the Presence of God but is acknowledged and blessed therefore, and such is the Memory of the Perfected Beings that no electron is slighted or overlooked in this time of Thanksgiving. 

This year, because of the tremendous response of the lifestreams who have been chosen to represent the Vanguard in this New Movement, there will be a particular blessing upon the individual members and their co-operative groups, for the strength of their Light and the accuracy of their reception, which gives us the opportunity to apply for a greater Dispensation at the January Council. 

One of the most exquisite ways of preparing for the Christmas Season individually, is for each lifestream to consciously and earnestly prepare his own Ceremony of Thanksgiving, and - officiating upon the Altar of his own Christ Temple - invite into the Presence of his own God Flame, ALL of the life that has served him during the twelve months that have passed and, through a special blessing and benediction, confer upon that one the added substance of his own Christ Nature. This Ceremony will show each man how rich he is in the blessings that have filled his world through the channels in every kingdom - natural, human and divine. In such an activity neither bitterness nor discontent can live. Also, every Master to whom the individual extends an invitation to his Ceremony will respond and enter into the Sanctuary of the heart, where such a Thanksgiving is being celebrated; and this visitation alone will bring a return of Spiritual Blessings far beyond the comprehension of the outer man for the individual effort involved in preparing such a Thanksgiving Service to life. 

If you will rise on the tide of the Flame of Thanksgiving, which is a rhythmic pulsation from Shamballa, directed by Sanat Kumara, the Chohans of the Rays, the Cosmic Beings in charge of the Forces of the Elements, the Great Archangels and Devic Lords into their Kingdoms, you will find an acceleration of your own life wave which can become a permanent blessing and conductor of their constructive energies into your world and activities. 

This Flame of Thanksgiving has gone forth rhythmically since the Day when the thirty Beings knelt before the Coming of their Lord, and it has built in power as each lifestream became aware of the benefits which have poured through it, for the most part without recognition, for centuries. It is only the outer self that is not alert enough to realize the measure of Thanksgiving which they owe the universe, even by reason of the sustenance of a physical body alone; and the further the lifestream proceeds on the Pathway to the Heart of God, the more each one finds what there is to be thankful for. Man, on the lower rungs of the ladder of evolution, is not even aware that there is a Spiritual Hierarchy; so Thanksgiving to these Beings is not a ceremony of the heart. But, when we enter the Ascended Master consciousness and see the workings of the Inner Law and the tremendous assistance of the Elemental Kingdom, the Angelic Host, as well as the Brotherhood, we realize more fully our indebtedness to Life. For myself, I Am told, that in those Realms to which my Consciousness has not yet ascended, the intricacies of the Blessings of which we in this Universe are the recipients, and of whose source we are wholly unconscious, is unbelievable So, the higher we go, the more grateful we are and the more humble we get before that Power which is our Life.

We have been advised by SANAT KUMARA, that on Thanksgiving of this year, the Seven Retreats of the Chohans of the Rays and my own Retreat will be permanently open, in order to allow the lifestreams evolving upon the planet the opportunity of intensified training upon the particular Ray which forms their natural vibration. 

This opportunity should do much to increase the capacity and power of each life-stream to become master of the energy of his own life, and I would like to set forth the location of these Retreats at this time, viz. 

El Morya               at       Darjeeling

Kuthumi                 “         Kashmiri

The Venetian         “         France, near Marseilles

Serapis                 “         Luxor

Hilarion                 “         Greece

Jesus                    “         Arabia

Saint Germain       “         Transylvania

Maha Chohan        “         Ceylon 

This Activity will in no way conflict with the progressive radiation which will form the pattern for 1953. It is a supplemental activity, whereby the Chohans of the Seven Rays, and my humble self, will be given the opportunity to accelerate the progress of the people who belong to their Ray at this time. For lifestreams, who are not yet aware to which Ray they belong, there will be Beings provided who will take them to their proper Retreat while their bodies sleep. 

A good way to find your Ray is to repeat over the names of the different Chohans and then wait for the vibration which will strike through your energy when you reach the one which corresponds to your natural heritage. 

Now, in the Name of the Giver of All Life, I enfold you - each and every one and all mankind - in the Cosmic Flame of Love and Gratitude, that rises like incense to the Throne of the Most High on this Glorious Feast of Universal Thanksgiving.

Blessings and Love,

MAHA CHOHAN
