The Shamballa Letter
VOLUME 19, Number 25 June 20, 1997
Beloved seekers of divine truth,
Beloved Ĉolus' Code of Conduct of a Disciple of Holy Spirit is a wonderful set of ideals upon which to base the foundation of your personal spiritual evolution. However, the momentum you will create in your being and world following these sacred tenets can only be maintained by your commitment to your further development and a great deal of hard work on your part.
First and foremost it is said that to aspire to be the full expression of God, you must become consciously aware of and devote your life to fulfilling the request of the First Commandment: 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.' These are very simple and easy words to say but have you ever put any thought and energy into what this statement really means? How do you want to be treated by others? The answer depends upon how you truly feel about yourself. Do you value your existence in this world? Do you recognize your gifts and talents, working hard to improve yourself and often offering your time and energy in service to others?
You probably want others to be nice and treat you with respect. You also want to be acknowledged and supported as you move through life. This, beloved ones, is how most people want and need to be treated by others and as we work through the rest of the items in the Code of Conduct, I believe you will quickly find they will assist you greatly in accomplishing your task. You are asked to 'Learn the Lesson of Harmlessness.' Not by word, thought, action or feeling inflict pain or discomfort on another. You must always take a moment to consider how to interact with others before responding. Ask yourself: Am I responding as a Master would respond in this situation? If not, take time to choose another course of action. Also, to assist you in your decision you may want to consider the consequences of your actions, for very often it may be difficult to take something back once it has manifested in the world of form.
I know this may sound difficult and seem to complicate your lives for those of you who might believe 'you must always live in the here and now' for this seems to go against what you are trying to accomplish in your life. Beloved ones, be assured this is not the case. In fact, just the opposite is true; for by fully taking responsibility for yourself, your entire self and everything about yourself, you are finally living in the moment perfectly!
You have spent many years, maybe even many lifetimes, studying many of God's Great Divine Principles, whether you are consciously aware of this fact or not. I truly believe that you will find this suggestion easier to implement in your life than you think, if you will but take the time to do so. It is time to put our teachings into practice in your daily life. Remember also: we will be there with you, assisting you during each and every step. In love and light, may you now have the courage to rise above and change the patterns you created many centuries ago and still continue to follow. The time has come for your seven bodies to finally become one, attaining mastery over your lower vehicles!
I AM Hilarion, Chohan of the Fifth Ray and Enfolding Spirit for this year.
