THE TEMPLE OF THE GREAT WHITE BROTHERHOOD

ELECTRONIC PATTERN: Visualize the Forcefield of the Grand Teton Retreat; a Crystalline Star of cosmic proportions, directing Rays of Pure Light Energies from the Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood into the consciousness of all humanity, awakening them to their True Being.

Beloved Chelas of Light,

I come to you at the beginning of this new year with happiness and anticipation, as we enter into a time of intensified work with the Second Cosmic Ray of Illumination, Wisdom and Understanding. I AM sure it will prove to be a most rewarding time of cooperative service between us. Those of Us who are working as members of the World Teaching effort are united in every way, as We reach forth to touch the minds and hearts of Our chelas and light workers everywhere on the Earth. Great activity is continuing at inner levels, and all of you are working with dedication and enthusiasm on the tasks that are set before you.

Of late, the word 'Understanding' has been rhythmically connected with the Divine Attributes of Illumination and Wisdom. For this, those of Us in The Great White Brotherhood are quite happy, because, until understanding of the Divine Principles set forth takes place, a man cannot be said to have illumination or wisdom.

At this time, you have a deepened awareness of the need to develop your individual spiritual gifts and functions. You have become aware that it is desirable to concentrate on your individual development, because you now know that your contributions are a necessary part of the whole. Until this understanding became clear, many of you felt overwhelmed by the needs that were being presented, feeling that you were expected to do everything.

The importance of your spiritual individuality has also increased your desire and ability to be supportive of the uniqueness of your brothers and sisters, as they each serve the Light in their own ways. As you comprehend these important points more fully, you are happier and more relaxed in your service. However, of the utmost importance, you can now attain the unity required to serve more fully and perfectly, as the Body of the Cosmic Christ upon the Earth. Truly, your Light is hourly and daily increasing!

I have served the Second Ray of God Illumination, Wisdom and Understanding for a long time. Acting as Patriarch of the Grand Teton Retreat, My service is quite varied. I AM able to concentrate on the overall teaching effort, assisting―not only the Hierarch and Chohan of the Second Ray, but also the other great Masters, Who are working on the various aspects of teaching required upon the planet at this time.

As you may be aware, Chohan, Dwjal Khul has been my student for many ages. When He achieved His Ascension, He continued to work closely with Me, fulfilling many additional responsibilities as they were assigned to Him. He has worked with concentration and dedication always providing an example to all life. His humility and deep sense of anonymity does not permit Me to be eloquent in My description of His service, but suffice it to say He has accepted great responsibility on My behalf, and yours. As the student reflects the Master, while serving in the physical plane―beloved Dwjal Khul reflected Myself and My teachings with integrity and in silence. To this day, He speaks little―if at all―of His own accomplishments, and for this, again I say: 'Observe the Master, and do likewise', for He runs the course in such a way that the entire Brotherhood bows in humility before His Light.

Through centuries of time, beloved Confucius and His Divine Complement, Lady Soo Chee, have studied with Us. They, too, reflected Our teachings upon the Earth with integrity, thus enabled to serve in the future with greatly expanded responsibility. As you know, a pure and beautiful philosophy of living was established by Lord Confucius, which is not only effective to this day, but has preserved the minds and hearts of people of great character from the aggressions of lesser men. I speak of these things to intensify your desire for Silence and expand your understanding of the way in which a chela may serve the Master, even while he is working to become a Master, himself. It has been written that when the Master lifts His hands in blessing, the Chela also lifts his hands, to direct that great force toward those in need. So it has been through the ages, and so it shall continue, as each of Our chelas walks steadily forward into the full Light of Mastery!

Now, as we enter this time together, especially while you are concentrating upon the opportunities offered at the Grand Teton Retreat, I suggest that you use your opportunity as individuals, developing and studying ways to utilize your own spiritual gifts. Of course, when you enter your chosen schoolroom, you will find many brothers and sisters present who also serve along the same lines of endeavor!

My beloved Students of Light, the great Flame of Reverence for Life begins to manifest Its influence in your life when you first recognize that the life force in all you behold is God! As you encounter this moment, you realize your unity with all life, and the Flame of Reverence blazes upward from the Christ within, to illumine your consciousness, and outward, to fill your being and world. From that experience, there is neither return nor retreat!

As I raise My hands in blessing to you, I know that you shall turn to face the Earth, and raise your hands in blessing to all your brothers and sisters in the one Human Family, for that is―truly―your Divine Destiny!
