Beloved students of divine truth, 

So far we have worked with three of your lower vehicles but as many of you are very aware your emotional body is also in need of healing. Over lifetimes of embodiments you have acquired a very large amount of feelings that cling to every fiber of your being and may be creating great difficulty in your life now. Once again, through your use of the Green Flames of truth and healing at all levels, the discomfort in your life can be greatly reduced. Then, with your ever-expanding knowledge there is no reason for negative feelings to find even a toehold anywhere in your lower vehicles again. 

We can all agree that your feeling nature acts as a powerful driving force in your forward spiritual development. No matter what the outer appearances, when you are centered deep within the threefold flame at your heartcenter this, the largest of your lower vehicles, is in contact and aware of everything within and around you. By listening to and following the guidance of your emotional body your path will become easier. However, for this to happen perfectly this important part of yourself must be clear of all the clutter you have collected over the ages. Once again you must call upon the Violet Fire of Transmutation and Freedom along with the Green Flames of Truth and Healing to assist in this process. Throughout this time of transformation also remember to feel joy and happiness with your every accomplishment. Be proud of who you are and recognize how far you have come since you first chose to take embodiment on this planet. These qualities especially will assist you greatly as you continue to complete each and every task set before you on your path to self-mastery. 

At this time I would like to ask a few questions: Are you beginning to feel closer to God? Have you become more aware of your connection with higher energies and greater knowledge? Do you feel more confident, knowing that whatever it is you need in this lifetime, it is already there, waiting for you to recognize and accept? If so you are making good progress and if not - do not allow yourself to become discouraged! 

The path you have followed to get to this point in your evolution has been long and for many of you difficult and arduous. Do you not think that perhaps it may take some time to sort out and sift through your many lifetimes of experiences to become that all powerful, all knowing and all loving being of light you truly are? This is where you stand now dear chelas. You are at that place where all your lives have become an open book to show you where you have been and where you are going. Please, do not take me wrong, beloved ones, change can and often does take place over night or even in an instant. However, the challenge that remains once you institute any change in your life is to maintain it. It is very difficult not to fall back into old patterns of thinking, feeling and living especially when you find yourself in similar situations that created them. 

This, beloved ones, is why it is so important to remain centered and peaceful at all times. Have love, compassion and patience especially for yourself. As you are making changes in your life you need to be able to observe what is taking place within and around you so that you can assess each situation and decide how best to respond. In the beginning this must be a very conscious process on your part as you learn more about yourself. With each step on your spiritual path it may seem as if you are moving forward very slowly indeed. However, over time you will come to trust your understanding, your motive and your response in each experience and the pace of your forward progress will steadily increase. 

During the next seven days rest in the arms of your God Presence, for you have done well during the first three months of this not so easy year of truth and healing. Tune into the festivities taking place at our beloved Shamballa. Enjoy the company of your immediate family and close friends. Count the many blessings in your life! Take time for yourselves and often enter the Resurrection Flame as you go through this hopefully quiet but very powerful period of renewal and rebirth. 

Your teacher of many ages, Hilarion
