My beloved ones,

As most of you are well aware, one of my greatest services to Earth is to introduce the divine principles of true family life and then assist in the implementation of these gifts and blessings within the family unit through the divine qualities of forgiveness, mercy and compassion. No matter how large or how small each household is, whether it is a physical, professional, spiritual or planetary family, the guidelines are the same.

In the past, I have often spoken of the children. Tonight I wish to digress and move to the other end of the spectrum in human life, the later years in one's human existence. First, let us consider what wonderful gifts and blessings the elder members in a family have to share with the others. Think of how much they have experienced during their lives, not only the knowledge they have received and the wisdom they have acquired, by putting what they have learned into practice, but the wonderful stories they can share about everything they have been an integral part of. They can bring history alive for those of you who were not in embodiment during those times in a way no one else is able to do.

Yes, beloved ones, much has changed in the recent history of the Earth. There was a time, not too long ago, when the older members of a family were very well taken care of in their later years. If they were not already living with one of their children, they were invited into one's home, especially when it became more difficult for them to manage for themselves, where their every need was met up until the time of their transition from the physical plane to the inner realms. They had the enjoyment of their children, their children's children and in some cases, their children's, children's children. Think of how wonderful these everyday interactions were for all involved. There could also be difficult days as well, but then again, these should be looked at as nothing more than learning experiences.

There was also not nearly as much fear concerning death either, for it was accepted as a natural part of life. Yes, there was sadness and many tears were shed when one passed through the change called death, but it was recognized as part of the process of living. Upon their transition friends and family came together and their life and its many accomplishments were honored.

I have not come to you this evening to say that you should go back to the way things were done in the past, not at all, for in refusing change the process of evolution is prevented from moving forward. However, in moving forward you must remember to take what is good of the past with you to create a better present and future. The major responsibility must remain with the family and not given to others. This does not mean that you should personally care for your parents, grandparents and other family members. What it does mean, is to be involved. Do all that you can to find the proper care for your loved ones. Remain in contact, not only with those in charge of their care, but your family member or friend as well. Allow the children to interact with the elders to learn what they can and share their love with each other.

Especially, as a chela of the Ascended Masters, use the gifts you have been given to assist in this endeavor. Use the Violet Fire to sweep through all hospitals and nursing homes so these become places where all of God's Qualities abide. Assist the staff in being caring, loving, helpful, healing and compassionate. Visualize the buildings bright, clean and cheerful, a place where the people who reside there do so happily. Go within, dear ones and ask your Holy Christ Self what you need to bring balance into one of life's circumstances each and every one of you will eventually face in some form or another.

Many people now live much longer lives, often remaining healthy, independent and self-sufficient till the end of their current life cycle on Earth. Remember to blaze the Violet Fire through them, their homes and financial affairs so this may continue. However, there are some who become as little children and dependent upon others for their every need.

There are those who seem to be fully aware but in reality, because of the physical manifestations taking place in their bodies, they are living in the past, believing it to be the present.

Some seem to linger on for many months and even years and it is very easy for their caregivers, family members and friends to wonder what they ever did to deserve this. I remind you, dear chelas, once again do not get caught up in the outer appearances!

In actuality they may be 'taking care of business spending time between worlds transmuting, purifying and releasing thoughts, feelings, words and actions of the past they no longer need, so their transition from the physical plane can be made in a peaceful gentle manner with as little unfinished business left as possible. They may be spending time preparing for their future and where they are going, by exploring the realms beyond their current physicality. In reality what they may be accomplishing during that last bit of time on Earth is quite important indeed and it is of the utmost importance not to get caught up in the less than Godly quality of judgment.

Looking at life in a nursing home, many of the resident's actions may seem very inappropriate. Do you realize that just perhaps, they are releasing negative energy for the entire home so that others can be at peace. You must have compassion and unconditional love for every part of life. Do not judge others, especially your elders, and do not think that just because they seem to be living in very negative conditions that they deserve it for they may have chosen at inner levels, as one of their last gifts to life, to take upon their shoulders the burdens of the world to purify and release negativity because others did not have the strength or ability to do so.

I imagine many of you may never have looked at the issues and questions I now present to you in quite this way but you must. You must also use the sacred Violet Transmuting Flame, the Blue Flame of Protection and the Pink Flame of Divine Love and Comfort to assist this segment of the population for it is growing very rapidly and the work they are accomplishing is very important indeed.

As I enfold you in my cloak of mercy and compassion it is my hope that you will now enfold the elders of your own families and communities in one as well, adding your own gifts and blessings. Remember, each and every one of you is a member of the magnificent Family of Man and what affects one, ultimately affects all!

Love and blessings from your sister in the Light,

Kwan Yin
