The Shamballa Letter
VOLUME 18, Number 7 February 16, 1996
Beloved students on the path toward your Ascension,
Right now let your love and gratitude join mine and flow forth to beloved Archangel Michael for his timeless guardianship and service to this planet. As you continue to listen to yourself and others you are most definitely opening the lines of communication at all levels of consciousness through your purified physical, etheric, mental, and emotional vehicles. In this way, a ritual of communion between both this realm of expression and the higher realms of light has been put into motion.
The importance of listening and using all of your four lower vehicles cannot be stressed enough for they are the bridge to both your Holy Christ Self and I AM Presence. Once this balanced activity has begun to take place and your consciousness dwells at the level of Christ Consciousness, you are truly a unified being of light. However, sometimes, as you experience this higher state, you may find it difficult to function at the physical level of expression, even wondering what is happening to you.
At times when this occurs, you must return to the heart of the sacred fire. There you must become silent and listening to your entire being become centered once again. Remember, beloved ones, you are going through a process of great change and transformation and there will be times of discomfort in your lower vehicles as this takes place, while you learn to sustain this higher vibration. I ask you to love yourself enough so that this can be a smooth and gentle transition. Give yourself, not only permission to do this, but also the time and space in which to accomplish the work.
Beloved ones, I know how much you desire to dwell in the state of Christ Consciousness at all times. This need is but the outer recognition of an inner calling, and some of you constantly seek solitude to attain this state of being, unable at this time to maintain it in the physical world that surrounds you. However, this feeling stems from the longing to be 'at one' with your God Presence, and you feel that separating yourself from the world will easily accomplish this. You do not yet realize that the day shall come when you will maintain this level of being at all times, truly manifesting the Christ in this world of form.
I ask you to bring to your mind one of the decrees you use in your service to the light to purify and prepare yourself. You affirm often "I AM in the world but not of it!...I AM an embodied being of light and I AM free!" Fully understanding the meaning of these words will assist you to realize how you must live in this world. Through your work with the sacred flames you must reach a point in your life where you become so centered that, even though you live and move through this world, nothing of a lower vibration can touch or affect you. When you can attain and maintain this state of being, then, beloved ones, you truly are free!
Blessed chelas know that, as you continue to seek spiritual freedom in your life, you are enfolded in the joyous, raising power of the mighty Ascension Flame, for I AM always at your side!
