Maha Chohan

In the establishment of the Inner Court of Sanat Kumara certain Offices were designed which were to be channels through which the God Energies might flow and be directed toward manifesting definite, specific and constructive effects. 

In the beginning there were no members of the human race in this Court, all Offices being held by the voluntary endeavors of Beings from other Spheres. Gradually, working only with Love, Sanat Kumara was enabled to magnetize the interest of souls of certain lifestreams to assist in the government of this world from an Inner Standpoint, and these offices were filled successively by various Beings. 

I would like to bring this point very forcibly to your attention, because the Messengership is not provided for the Messenger, it is an Office into which is placed a lifestream with the necessary potentialities who may fulfill that Office and through graduation, or retrogression, leave the Office for another. 

Over and above the Office of the Lord of Lords stands the Silent Watcher, who to this planet is the Supreme Authority. The Office beneath is held by Beloved Sanat Kumara, and the Beloved Manus, the Beloved Buddha, Lord Maitreya and myself serve with him, and then the Seven Chohans of the Rays. 

Even in my position, I did not, in applying for the honor of becoming the present Maha Chohan, know whether I could fill the requirements. The Sphere of Influence of a Being who holds an Office is a great globe of Light, and the length of the Beam of Light from the Heart reaching to the periphery of that sphere in every direction is determined by the momentum and pressure of Light of the lifestream, which is built through contemplation, and then through action. 

When for instance in my own case, if you will excuse a personal reference which is merely to elucidate upon the subject for your perusal, I was given the opportunity of training so that when the Maha Chohan preceding me was to vacate the Office one of us might be chosen, I did not know whether the Beam of my own Light could reach the periphery of the Sphere of Influence required to be a Holy Comforter to an entire evolution - Angelic, human, elemental, animal, vegetable, mineral, and they say kindly, I am a Comfort to the Divine as well. 

Do you know, many times after my Illustrious Predecessor had gone to enjoy a concert or a conference, I stepped into his aura, and just as a child would stand on tiptoes and try to touch the ceiling, I endeavored with my Light to reach the periphery of his Sphere of Influence, knowing that my Comfort had to be the Master Control given me of all the life in those Kingdoms. 

You have seen a fond parent mark a child's height against the wall that is the way I used to measure my Light when I first stood in that Sphere of Influence. My maximum endeavor to comfort life was like that of a four year old child against the capacity of a Christ, and I returned to my quarters and I thought "I will never do it." A Being came to me, Beloved Buddha, and he said "Son, if you are going to grow to fill that great Sphere of Influence, you must begin to WANT to comfort life, never mind how you qualify, and that great desire within you will raise you until you are the fulfillment of the need." 

Isn't it strange how just a word will bring again to your memory a moment that you know so well, and mind you, I had been Ascended and living in the Heart of God and Associated with Free Beings. Yet I remember that hour, where I sat, I remember the sound of his voice, and I remember watching him walk off through the trees and I made my decision then that whether or not I was chosen was of no consequence BUT that my energy from thenceforth as long as I had a beating Heart was to COMFORT life, and I never went back to measure my Spiritual Height until the night came when Sanat Kumara handed me the Scroll and I knelt before him and became the Representative of God's Love. Mark you well my words, the REPRESENTATIVE OF HIS LOVE, for once man or Messenger feels himself, instead of the Love of God, as the action of the Law he has closed the door to Heaven's Grace. 

I am allotted only a certain time to speak with you, because the energy I give you brings a responsibility for what you will do with it, and so I measure it well. I measure the contents of the Bulletin lest the Cosmic Law demand too much of those who read it. I measure the contents of my Message, written or spoken, according to your spiritual digestive tracts, your assimilative power, and your capacity for action, but I shall come again and I KNOW BY THE POWER OF LIFE that each of you shall fill that Spiritual Sphere into which your lifestreams will fit. 

I give you my Blessing, my Love, and a word of counsel from a Father, BE NOT CONCERNED WITH YOUR SERVICE!
