Along the Path

Lord Gautama

December 1966

My heart is filled with happiness and gratitude for those Beloved Beings of the Spiritual Hierarchy, with Whom it is My honor to serve, Who so diligently, have sponsored you, dear ones. The Bond of Their Love is a beautiful cable into the physical appearance world, joining Their Hearts with those chelas on Earth who so assiduously endeavor to follow the Instructions set forth for them, and who are learning more and more, that it is the God-Presence within their hearts Who can set them Free from the shackles of human thinking, and that through the submission of the lower vehicles to Divinity, there is no recession in their progress in the Light.

It is a beautiful thing to see the developed expression of the various Qualities which, as I have stated, have expanded in mighty proportions during the past twelve-month period, and the wonderful blending of this bouquet was evident as you walked the grounds of Shamballa, and, in holy reverence, gave acknowledgement to the Supreme Source of all.

I wish to draw your attention to the fact that those Beings who are designated as the Sponsors of the Year, are chosen after very careful and purposeful deliberation, and who keep in their consciousness always, the most important requirement for the development of the peoples of this Orb. The members of the Hierarchy so chosen, tirelessly without cessation, lend their energies to a specific development in the hearts and consciousness of the Qualities and Virtues which they have drawn forth through centuries of serving the Supreme Source of all life.

The Selected Activity with its attendant Gifts, for each year, is one which is sometimes taken lightly. The chelas should daily remember their opportunity and responsibility to feed their energies into the requirement given them. We do not casually give you the Thoughtform and Theme. It is not just some thing which is to please you, but a definite Pattern or Mould, a Cup which is to be energized by your energies, not just left to the Hierarchy. The Thoughtform and Theme for each year, is a Sacred Externalization, given to assist you to hold the Pattern in your consciousness, lest you forget the activity which is taking place during a twelve- month period. I trust that I shall not have to remind the chelas of this again, and I know that any who have been remiss in their responsibility, will happily lend their energies to this Purpose the remainder of the period.

In the instance of the Headquarters of the Spiritual Hierarchy, the heartbeat for the Planet - SHAMBALLA - this was the pulsating Focus of the Holy Spirit eons ago, and Members of the Celestial Host have held that momentum of Light through the ages, awaiting their time until the consciousness of a group of people could, and would dedicate all their energies to magnetizing that Light from the Etheric Realm.

The Light which Beloved Sanat Kumara and the Brotherhood gathered at the City of Light which was withdrawn to the Etheric Realm Desert was lovingly and consciously drawn into the Beings of the Beloved Lord of the World, Gautama, Sanat Kumara, and many, many Beings who now dwell in the Etheric Focus over Long Island. The original Focus of Shamballa has a cup of Light which certain Members of the Brotherhood continue to energize for release when the Earth is restored to its Original Perfection.

The spiritual Hierarchy is extremely grateful to all the chelas who turn their attention to the City of Light over Long Island, for in so doing, their attention and love serve as a magnet to lower that Light into the physical Focus which has been so graciously established, and which is being sustained by the chelas of THE BRIDGE TO SPIRITUAL FREEDOM.

Shamballa is a tremendous Magnetic Center and great Currents of Force are constantly flowing from the thousands of Masters whose Rays are anchored within the Sanctuary of the Cosmic Holy Spirit in the physical Focus. May the chelas all over the world become cognizant of their opportunity to energize this Light for the blessing of all succeeding generations.
