Thanksgiving Class

Beloved Lord Gautama

November 23, 1967

Beloved Children of the Father-Mother God, "I AM" grateful to the Supreme Source of All Life who has given me Individualization, and I bow in humility to the God Presence within your hearts and ask its Flaming Consciousness to illumine your outer minds so that the Mystic Union, the blending of the lower and Higher Consciousness may take place quickly for your own progress in the Light and the expansion of that Light for the Illumination of all the evolutions of this Planet. 

At this season of the year when mankind in this part of the Earth celebrate the Feast of Thanksgiving, it is a time when the chela can expand the Gifts of his own Causal Body with great facility, and in this acceleration raise the consciousness of all mankind. With the evolutions of this Planet who have embraced and are still members of the Religious Schools following the Christian Dispensation, as well as the chelas of the Spiritual Hierarchy, preparing for the celebration of Christmas, do you realize at this Thanksgiving time what you personally can do to prepare the way for the acceptance in their consciousness of the Truth which our beloved Jesus brought to this Earth? In so doing, can they be prepared for the expanded Teaching which is now coming forth! 

It is a time, as you realize, when the Angelic Host are invoked through music and song, and your invocation of these Beings of Light at Thanksgiving can do much to make the vehicles of mankind more receptive to the presence of the Angels. Every time the Angels are called into action, or are invoked as I have stated, you bring the Golden Age closer to fulfillment, for the cooperation of Angels and men is necessary for its fuller expression. 

Blessed ones, it is my privilege to tell you that the Thought Form for this Class is a Cornucopia of Light through which is released the glorious Essence of Peace! Please visualize the so required Radiation of Peace flowing forth and covering the Earth and all its evolutions with Peace. All the Beings who specifically dedicate their Energies to Peace will be in attendance and their Angelic Legions will traverse the Planet dispensing the Quality of Peace! Your cooperation in calling for this Radiation will assist in further anchoring this Essence into the Earth by reason of your conscious knowledge of what is taking place. 

O Supreme Creator of all there is, I pray that this specific Release of Light will find its way into the hearts and consciousness of all who abide on this Planet. Thou knowest, O Mighty One, this requirement and I shall, in all the humility of my Being, gratefully contribute my Energies to the fulfillment of this need! 

I shall now bring you in consciousness to Holy Shamballa from whence I speak to you this day. my Heart overflows with deep, deep gratitude and happiness as I commune with the various Members of the Spiritual Hierarchy who have come to our annual "Feast of Light". The magnificence of the glorious emanation of Light from the various Rays represented by the Cosmic and Ascended Beings who have come to exchange their ideas for the evolution of the Planet, in preparation for the Councils at the Rocky Mountain Retreat next month and over the New Year is beyond human reckoning. This is truly a festive time of year and to witness the gratitude in the Hearts of the Assembly is an ecstatic feeling which is coupled with great humility. To be in the company of these glorious Beings fills one with true Gratitude to the Godhead for its splendor of Expression. 

As you know, Thanksgiving is the time of Harvest, and the great One or Ones who have sponsored you stand by your side on the thirtieth of the month and truly their love enfolds you when you make your presentation. When the Light which has been allotted you by the Father-Mother God falls a little short of the expected release from your lifestream, they formulate plans in their Consciousness whereby in the succeeding year you may make up the deficit, through obedience to the Law of your Being. Now I make no illusion to what the lower consciousness deems as unhappiness or disappointment - that is not the Consciousness of the God-Free Beings, but merely give you this reference to show how much we all love you, and like fond parents or guardians, our every desire is to assist you to further develop your God Qualities and to release the Gifts of those already built in your Causal Bodies through centuries of living and serving the Light according to the consciousness in the various sojourns on the Earth. 

We shall have a glorious time this evening, and as you depart from Class today, I would ask that you endeavor to keep the Radiation which is being released to you, not only through the release of the Love of my humble Being, but of all the Beings who are assembled at the Heart Center of the Spiritual Hierarchy, in the continuance of the custom established for Shamballa’s guests at this season of the year. 

I know you will be most grateful and happy to learn that Beloved Holy Æolus is especially blessing you today, and particularly for that which I now shall tell you. 

You will remember that it was Beloved Holy Æolus who gave you the Code of Conduct for a Disciple of the Holy Spirit. When he set forth those Tenets of Spiritual Living for you, he initiated the pulsation for the INNER NAME of those associated with and who gave of their energies through the avenue of THE BRIDGE TO FREEDOM. 

Blessed Children, you are THE DISCIPLES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, for that is the Inner Name of The Bridge to Freedom! Oh dedicated ones hold this announcement in your hearts in sacred reverence for the privilege of being so honored. You see, dear ones, we of the Spiritual Hierarchy do not idly ask you to put into practice the Truth which we present to you, as in the case of "The Code of Conduct" which was the necessary preparation for this day. You have endeavored and quite successfully put the Tenets embraced into practice, and for your constant dedication to the Service of the Supreme Source of all Life, Beloved Æolus and I have counseled and we believe you have earned the right to be apprised that you are the Disciples of the Holy Spirit, believing you have advanced to the point where you can be given this information without the human becoming inflated, thus retarding your Spiritual Progress. So accept this announcement in humility, and according to your reaction shall your Light expand! 

We, who can see all that transpires in your beings can instantly tell when humility and gratitude to the Father-Mother God results there from. No man shall judge you, for it is the Karmic Council to whom you are responsible, and as you write on the Book of Life, the Light therein is the dowry resulting from the expenditure of God's Holy Essence on the screen of life. 

Now, come with me into the Heart of God and bathe in the glorious Energy which is the Creative Principle of Life, and remember always that Love, Wisdom and Power in perfect balance is the Middle Way which I counsel always. 

Through the Activity of Balance did I earn my Freedom in the Light, and I pray the Supreme Source of all Life that you shall quickly reap the Harvest of the practice thereof. 

Enfolding you now in the Spirit of Grace which our Beloved Holy Æolus is, and in my loving gratitude for your Service to the Light and Life, 

"I AM" humbly,

Gautama, Lord of the World
