Thanksgiving at Shamballa
"As we come to the close of the twelve month cycle, all of those who represent the Spiritual Hierarchy are gathered at Shamballa, and here we celebrate a Cosmic Thanksgiving in which every one of the Brothers is a participant. The great Audience Chamber is open for this Festivity and the evening before your national holiday (November 23, 1967), and for four days and nights thereafter, there is a constant outpouring of blessing upon every electron, elemental, animal, human, Angelic, Deva, Ascended Master and Cosmic Being who has consciously or unconsciously contributed to the forward progress of the race.
One of the most exquisite ways of preparing for the Christmas Season individually is for each lifestream to consciously and earnestly prepare his own ceremony of Thanksgiving and officiating upon the Altar of his own Christ Temple, invite into the Presence of his own God Flame all of the life that has served him during the twelve months that have passed and, through a special blessing and benediction, confer upon that life the added substance of his own Christ Nature.
This ceremony will show each man how rich he is in the blessings that have filled his world through the channels in every kingdom, natural, human and Divine. Also, every Master to whom the individual extends an invitation to his ceremony, will respond and enter into the Sanctuary of the heart where such a Thanksgiving is being celebrated and this will bring a return of blessings far beyond the comprehension of the outer man."
