The Shamballa Letter
VOLUME 11, Number 49 December 5, 1989
Beloved Chelas,
We are quickly coming to the end of 1989, and as I look upon your auras I see a great increase in the Light of understanding around you. Each of you is working in your own way to make all the lessons I have presented to you this year a part of your Being in a permanent fashion.
For a lesson to become truly 'yours', you must keep your attention upon it until the principle involved becomes so much a part of your being that you respond from that principle automatically under all circumstances. This takes practice.
One of the truths I want to bring before you is that being on the Earth at this moment of its evolution is truly a privilege. It is not only a privilege, but it is a choice that you have each made at inner levels. I know you are aware of this but sometimes... under stress, you forget to express thankfulness and joy in this opportunity. In being granted this opportunity, you are enabled to fulfill your own desire.
One of your Dear Sponsors, Lord Ling, has advised you to act as if you already have the quality you desire already desire - in this case... Happiness. He told that if you did this, the feeling would soon follow. This is the truth. It has no other choice! To act as if you are joyous is the first step of manifesting happiness as a physical life expression.
Beloved ones, I have so much love for you, and so much happiness in the opportunity to work with you, that I ask you to share in my love and happiness! To do so will be to expand it, and to give it to others as it has been so freely given to you!
Paul, the Maha Chohan
