The Shamballa Letter

VOLUME 18, Number 37                                                                                       September 13, 1996

Beloved chelas, 

During this year you are learning much more about the many qualities embodied in the mighty, crystalline Ascension Flame. For this reason, some of you have become more eager to attain your personal ascension. Although personal ascension is the ultimate goal of everyone, once again I wish to emphasize that this should not be your primary goal. 

Wherever you may find yourself in your evolution, service is the law of your existence; and if you do not have a momentum of joyful living stored within your causal body ¾ how can you happily serve life? God's infinite wisdom has always offered you the opportunity to built such a momentum by placing you exactly where you need to be to learn the lessons of life at all times. Be grateful, beloved ones, especially for being alive during this time of great change on planet Earth. Know you are here for a reason and not by chance. With your spiritual knowledge and understanding you have the illumined faith to follow your divine plan as the way is made clear to you, one step at a time. By fulfilling your divine blueprint, your ascension will come about quite naturally. There is no need to worry, nor be concerned about when and how it will happen. 

Quiet your emotions, still your mind, relax your physical body and remember only pleasant moments, as you place your attention upon the blazing Violet Fire. From it, strengthen your protecting mantle of light that surrounds you at all times. The transmuting essence of this flame now allows you to breathe deeper and more easily. Receive its cosmic gift of freedom, the spiritual freedom to fulfill your divine plan. 

Beloved ones, on the inner screen of your mind clearly picture yourself ascending into the Heart of your Presence. See your Three-fold Flame slowly blend and become the crystalline white flame that gently raises the vibratory activity of your four lower vehicles. 

Visualize yourself at one with your God reality, and in this magnificent state of being, converse with God. Ask to know the purity of your being at all levels of consciousness. Experience fully this quality and become the perfect example of it in your feelings, thoughts, remembrances, words and actions here and now! 

Do this often, dear ones, daily re-energizing the divine pattern of your own ascension in the light. In this way, you will come to feel the buoyancy of the Ascension Flame, and your joy in service shall be full. There will be no pain or struggle, only a steadfast work of love, light, and life! 

Your teacher, Serapis Bey
