Blessed chelas,

Today, in honor of the Resurrection Flame which burns so brightly within this sanctuary of living, loving light, I would like to let you know that I plan to reinstate my teaching program and actively pursuing the creation of a new instructional curriculum, this time dedicating much of the teachings to training the chelas how to live in this world but not of it. As many of the divine principles of our Mother-Father God have already been given through this Activity of Light and similar organizations, I shall now focus my attention upon sharing with you the wisdom required to more perfectly balance the energies of your being through your responses to daily living here on Earth.

There is a very big difference between receiving knowledge just to have the information and putting into practice what you have learned. How many times have you observed a person who appeared to be very knowledgeable of God's teachings but for one reason or another they were unable to outpicture them in the outer world of form. Perhaps they didn't really understand the teachings they were given; maybe they decided that the principles did not apply to them; or worse yet, they consciously chose to ignore the information.

Beloved ones, once you receive our knowledge you must, I repeat, must do something with it and I do not mean put it in a box and store it in the back of a closet or bury it in your backyard! You must take what you have learned and put it into practice or in other words, incorporate it into your daily life. If you have been taught that the Violet Fire can be of great assistance in your life, then by all means, call it forth! If a Master shares with you that the qualified energy you offer or send to others will come back to you clothed with even more of that quality, then make sure you are careful how you send it forth!

Wisdom is shared with you to make your life on Earth easier, beloved ones, even if it does not seem so at this time. I also fully understand how quickly you can become overwhelmed with the information you receive. You have been told to call forth your Mantle of Light and give the Shamballa Decree daily. And do not forget to work with the Violet Fire to transmute, purify and free energy. Also, your work in the astral realm with Lord Michael is important and do not forget the Call for Peace Decree. By the time you have done all of this work and more, you are exhausted and an hour may have gone by and as your service to life, evening decrees, prayers, visualizations and affirmations, you have taken up a lot of time each day fulfilling a major part of your divine plan. Even though your spiritual work is important, your family, friends, home and job also need attention; and when in the world are you going to find time just to focus upon your own personal needs!

Does my example sound familiar? Well, if you are a student of the ascended masters then it should. There is an old, familiar saying that states: "A woman's work is never done". Well, If only the world could see the job description of a chela! You must learn to balance all of these things and more but as you do, you must also learn to integrate the spiritual and physical aspects of their lives.

Recently there was created at the physical focus of Shamballa a beautiful new sacred space where, in the future, many new informative classes and teaching activities will be offered. In honor of the work which will take place there, the Shamballa Letters will once again be published and offered to the chelas who wish to subscribe to this publication. In the beginning I will share with you a few paragraphs of wisdom which will be not only informative but timely as well. As far as what the future holds, you will have to wait patiently and see what develops. Publication is expected to begin in August of this year, so keep your eyes and ears open.

As part of this new spiritual community, what is it you would like to learn, beloved ones! You all come from different backgrounds, studying many different religious philosophies and following various schools of thought. If there is a specific topic you would like to see addressed in the future please contact the Heartcenter with your suggestions. As a small example of what is to come I would like to offer the following for your consideration.

Quite often I have witnessed chelas who hold their hand up almost level with their heart chakra to 'send forth' a blessing, a benediction or energy to another lifestream. Please be aware that you are a being of light and this light does not emanate only through your hands, beloved ones! With practice you will become aware of the process of breathing, understanding the various aspects of this activity. As you try different things you will eventually experience an expansion of the breath. Eventually, you will learn how to master your use of the sacred and holy Breath of God.

Stand tall, beloved ones. Breathe deeply and rhythmically and let the light shine through every cell and organ of your being and aura, from the bottom of your feet to the top of your head. It is time to let your light shine, dear chelas, and as this happens the light of Shamballa will grow brighter and brighter!

In the days and weeks to come, I along with many other teachers from the higher realms will begin to share many new and expanded ideas that we hope will heighten your understanding and assist you in moving a little more quickly along your spiritual paths. Until then, purify your thoughts and ideas and prepare to be enlightened.
