The Shamballa Letter
VOLUME 15, Number 27 July 2, 1993
My Beloved Chelas,
During this time, I would like to talk to you about some of the initiations you are experiencing. The term "initiation" is often used to describe a rite or ritual which signifies a new beginning. It can also refer to the beginning, itself. Thus, your present training in seeking the Silence represents a very significant initiation upon your Path to Enlightenment.
There are two basic kinds of initiation for the chela on the Spiritual Path. One form is visible, and involves methods of dealing with the outer appearance of situations and persons in your life. The other type is invisible, and deals more explicitly with your internal plane of experience - the part of you that is hidden from the eyes of other people. It is this second form of initiation with which you are presently occupied.
You have walked steadily forward in your dealings with the outer appearance of challenges in your life situations, and your progress is excellent. I caution you not to trip over the inner lessons, for they deal with whatever remains of your individual stumbling blocks. These stumbling blocks have often been called 'the dweller on the threshold'.
It is no longer possible for these blocks to be ignored, but how shall you deal with them? You will face them in the silence, and alone. Although you will always receive assistance from the Masters of Light through your I AM Presence, you must move through this initiation without seeking advice and opinions from family members, friends, or would-be advisors.
At this point on the Spiritual Path, to collect the opinions of others will only serve to confuse you. Such opinions will also pull your attention away from your inner focus and place it upon outer circumstances. This will not help you to surmount your obstacles.
It is well to remember that the family members and friends who accompany you on your path are there to help you stand on your own spiritual feet – strong and free! Through your love, you provide this service for them also, and together, you have all kinds of experiences and adventures. However, this is the point on the Path when you must let go of all others and face yourself alone. This adventure is to be your very own!
In facing yourself, there is no need to fear. As you proceed with the training program being given you by Master Kuthumi, you may be assured that you are creating momentums of purification and protection which shall stand you in good stead through any life situation which you shall ever encounter in the world of form. Remember that “the harmony of your true Being is your ultimate protection.” As you begin the process of uniting the energies of your lower vehicles into a sustained vibration of purity, the harmonizing vibration of Christ Consciousness shall flow through you at all times. Thus, you will be lifted above the vibrational level of outer manifestation, balancing the attributes of Love, Wisdom and Power within your life expression.
As you enter the Sacred Flame within your Heart Center, consciously and deliberately placing your full attention upon your God-Presence, you will make a great discovery. There is no power apart from God! God is your Father and Mother, having created you in their Image!
You will see your own True Identity! You are the Son or Daughter of the Most High Living God, a Being of Great Light! Beloved One, accept this - your Divine Heritage - the greatest gift of all!
Your Friend of Light, John, the Beloved

NOTE FROM BELOVED MASTER KUTHUMI:
Dearest Chelas,
In order that we may maintain the momentum which we have begun together, I would like you to continue to invoke the Violet Transmuting Flame at the onset of your daily period of stillness, as you have been doing. Persist in the use of your Spiritual Journal, describing not only your experiences with the stillness, but also the gifts of the Silence which you are beginning to perceive in your daily life and work. When we meet again, the process of purification shall have progressed to a sufficient degree that we may begin to unify the four lower vehicles into a Chalice of Light, for the use of the Inner Christ.
I love you, my brothers and sisters of Light!
Kuthumi
