Shamballa: Long Island

July 7, 1974

Welcome, welcome, thrice welcome... I bring you the greetings of Lord Gautama and all the Host of Heaven.

You know that music (Pomp and Circumstance) so stirred me, I almost spoke before you were ready for me, and that would have been terrible for I always say... “On the dot, at the proper time."

Now to our serious business… First, the Thought Form for this Class is the Luminous Presence of Beloved Jesus standing above the Earth with the Holy Grail in his blessed hands. Keep this Thought Form in your consciousness all during these Classes, for it is a very important Symbol.

You are going to find that we have things very much changed this year. Do not be surprised, just cooperate. All through the years you have been getting Lessons... some you have put into practice... the others we won't mention. So, it is the desire of the Hierarchy that you have brought to your attention those very important Lessons which you must learn RIGHT NOW, if you wish to follow me, the Exponent of God's Will.

You know a number of people have wondered who started this Activity. It was my humble privilege to inaugurate THE BRIDGE T0 FREEDOM through my beloved Miriam. Saint Germain brought the Teaching of the Spiritual Hierarchy to the western World through the “I AM" Activity and previous to that, several of us served to introduce the Theosophical Teaching.

Now we have had three steps, and we are now on a higher spiral, and we must help you to get into that Radiation. Accept the higher consciousness, be the higher consciousness in action at all times. Oh, I love that word 'Action'.

I prefer the man of action to the one who dilly dallies along the Path. If that is his way, all right let him do what he wishes, for he has free will, but to be in the Legions of the First Ray, carrying Saint Germain's Banner of Freedom it is imperative that you follow our Directives.

So, for six days we are going to have a Lesson, one each day. And at the conclusion of the first series, that will be on Tuesday; these Lessons will be available in booklet form for you to take home and study. You will find them at the Book Table. Study them well. It will be the same for the second Group - one, two, three... these will be available on Saturday.

You may think "Oh this is familiar material", familiar to your mental consciousness, but the feeling world must accept these Lessons in order to progress in the Light.

Worded Decrees are beautiful, as are Decrees to music, contemplation is beautiful. Do what you wish in your own Sanctuaries along those lines, but you are here as a salesman who comes to Headquarters to get a 'pep talk', and peppy it will be, you can be assured. We are doing this because we love you and because we love the Light of the Almighty who has decreed that the Earth must hold her place in the Cosmic Scheme of things. I believe your Director of the Day will explain a little of this to you, in case you are not familiar with the progression of the Planets. He may say a lot more that you may not care to hear, but I have given him the instructions, and don't blame beloved Carson. I stand behind him. Old stuff, you say... 0h, NO, Truth prevails and shall all during this Class. My lovely ones, if you knew how I have watched you. I have chomped at the bit to prod you on and I say, for God's Sake, hear thou me, because each and every one of you is an important Cell in the Body of the Almighty.

Do you think I have been too severe? (the chelas respond) I am glad you approve... that is very nice. Now all levity aside, I am just trying to get you into a jovial mood. THAT IS really my forte. Some of you know the 'asides' I make, and I do not wish to joke too much on the platform, but I just wish you each to be happy – Very, very happy people, for I love you.

Now I think that I have a surprise for you. I shall turn the platform over to our Beloved Godfre... your own dear daddy.

Beloved Godfre speaks:

Well, I can't tell you what it means to me to stand here and look at so many familiar faces.

Dear God that blessed Morya… he said, "I'll fire them with Light... you love them". He loves you with all the intensity of his Being. God Bless him.

My main reason for coming... is to tell you at Inner Levels... some of you know this... the "I AM" Activity and THE BRIDGE are one. And one day the outer consciousness of those who are doing, to the best of their ability, for the "I AM" Activity will kneel before the Christ and accept this fact, for we are all serving the ONE GOD. I pray that this acceptance will not be too far off... I ask you to do me a blessed favor. My precious hearts, if you would call to me and send your heart's Love, I will take that energy and I will pour it over all the "I AM" students everywhere, and make them feel the ONENESS OF LIFE. Many of you serve with them while you are out of the body at night, and we are so desirous - Beloved Lotus, too - that you join your hearts in one great Project, the freeing of this Planet Earth.

Another reason I am here today... you all know that the United States of America is the Heart of this Planet and I am tied into it, because I received the designation as Father of this Country, and I shall not let go. I shall pour my Love on these United States until that Heartbeat is felt throughout the Planet. And into that great finger of God pointing heavenward - the Washington Monument - flows the light of the Obedience to God's Will. Why think you we have that magnificent Complex over Washington where the Rainbow Rays are active at all times.

There are many other Foci in Washington, but I shall not go into detail, but you will find my Luminous Presence right at the Washington Monument at all times, for I loved, and do love, this Country well. I am grateful that your Leaders and all the Leaders throughout the world are cooperating.

It may seem surfacely, but as they turn their attention to these United States and endeavor to cooperate, they are being drawn into the very Heart of Washington, and much can be done through their cooperation for their own Countries. We are all distinct parts in the Great Tapestry of Life, and every Country, every town, every hamlet is a part of the great Plan of Creation.

Now I shall thank you for your attention to my words, and remember that Godfre is as close to you as your heart call. I thank you. (chelas stand)

Beloved El Morya:

Well it has been said that I always have the last word so... the last word... you know why... it is because I love to infiltrate your consciousness with the WILL OF GOD which I represent. It is not the dominant, the blaring Morya. THAT Morya, some people say... but I do love you... I love the God, the Creator of all Life, who beats your hearts and the hearts of the tiniest little elemental. I love Life, and truly to see such a magnificent assembly here does my Heart great good, and know that through this week, I will be around... so don't fool around... you are really at a Retreat. Study the Lessons. Take the Lessons home with you. Listen very carefully to every word that is said, and know this IS THE WILL OF GOD FOR YOU, and you, and you... and for all humanity.

I love you all, - God Bless you.
