Visualize yourself walking through the grounds of a beautiful park. It is a beautiful late autumn day. There is a nip in the air, but the sun radiates a soothing warmth that touches your face, then spreads throughout your body. Enfolded in this comforting peace you decide to rest for a few moments under a nearby tree, to bask fully in this magnificent light. As you sit down you notice the leaves of this great tree are just beginning to fall, many of them gently finding their way into your lap. Examining them closely you find a myriad of colors, deep green, brilliant yellow, bright red and every shade in between.

After taking a few moments to meditate quietly, you open your eyes and discover that everything around you has taken on the multicolored radiance of the Threefold Flame and quite suddenly a beautiful luminous white dove lands upon your shoulder. In its beak it holds a long golden chain upon which is attached a shimmering star about three inches in diameter of blue, gold, and pink light. As you lift your hand to stroke the dove, it opens its beak and the necklace also falls into your lap. You gently pick it up and put this wonderful gift around your neck, then slowly you stand up, finding that the star now lays softly against your heart center. Your elemental friend quickly takes flight and grateful for your gift, you lovingly follow its path until it is no longer visible. Focusing your attention upon the spot where the dove left your sight you now see a glorious city of light manifesting before you.

Recognizing this sacred and holy city that you have visited so many times before, you shut your eyes for a few moments and when you open them you find yourself standing upon a beautiful rainbow bridge of light. Just ahead you see many wonderful buildings, especially the seven jeweled temples which each radiate one of the seven rays. Quickly you proceed into the city along a path you have never followed before and shortly you come upon the most magnificent fountain you have ever seen. Within it, liquid flames of all the colors of the rainbow dance and play; intermingling and merging with the cascading water of the fountain.

Looking up you realize that you are not alone, for a great being of light approaches you and immediately you know you are within the Presence of Æolus, the Cosmic Holy Spirit. He joyously welcomes you to Shamballa and asks you to stay as long as you wish, to commune with the many other lifestreams who have also found their way here. At that moment beloved Micah appears before you and, instantly recognizing him, you bow before the Presence of these two magnificent beings of light. Micah takes your hand and tells you that every lifestream has something of merit to share with the universe, especially concerning the cause of unity, peace, and brotherhood. He thanks you for your dedicated service and presence here today.

Suddenly the song of the angels fills the air, as the Holy Triumvirate now walks toward you. Sanat Kumara is in the center, with Lord Gautama to his right and Lord Maitreya to his left. They have come to welcome you as a co-server with The Great White Brotherhood and, as they do, you realize that Sanat Kumara wears the same star as you now do. With this understanding, you feel a ray of light go forth from your heart center and see a ray of light come forth from his heart center, meeting yours and a uniting of your hearts takes place.

You become one with this great being and a gentle but powerful electric charge fills you with such love, you now realize that you have now merged and become one with all life. Your consciousness now expands and encompasses the entire universe, opening for you an entirely new doorway of opportunity and service and you are grateful for this experience.

Once again the dove appears overhead and you know it is time to return to your physical location and you quickly find yourself quietly sitting under your tree. You reach for the star around your neck but you find it has merged with your own heart, truly connecting you to Sanat Kumara and the Great White Brotherhood forever.
