Beloved Chelas: 

The eagerness of the students to bridge the gap or chasm between the outer darkness of the human mind and the Ascended Master Consciousness is, of course, a beautiful and powerful impetus which carries the soul to great heights, and eagerness, zeal and enthusiasm must never be dimmed in the hearts of those in which it rises. Eagerness and enthusiasm are like the topmost peak of a mountain covered with ice, and ofttimes the consciousness slips from the peak into the valleys of despair, discouragement and disappointment when the manifestation does not fit the expectation of the aspirant. 

Now, the chela must understand, first and foremost, that the aspirant is the soul in darkness seeking Light - the darkness being relative - but until the individual is ascended, there is an accumulation of more or less shadow. 

This aspirant is eager for the fullness of Truth and that, in itself is good, but the aspirant being in the shadows does not know what to expect from the Aspect of Wisdom, and his expectations are, therefore no criterion as to whether or not he is receiving the greatest outpouring according to the requirements of his own soul growth. Yet the sincere student who zealously applies the Law to the best of his ability is constantly catapulting himself over the chasms of despair and discouragement, because the result (which he has no knowledge of anyhow) is incomplete to his own human opinion. 

If the chela could but understand what Saint Germain has said repeatedly: 

"Make your application but do not look for specific results - just rejoice in the knowledge that the application cannot fail." 

He would save himself endless travail, as he moves up and down, up and down, up and down between repeated effort and lethargy, enthusiasm and despair.

Love and Blessings,

THE MAHA CHOHAN
