Heaven is consciously maintained by the wise man or woman who accepts, no "hell" into their worlds. Each man is allowed to people his world with creatures of his own choosing. The residents of the Eternally Sustained Kingdom in which we dwell are more constant in their vigilance than are the people of this octave, and while serving in this lower realm the ones who have earned their eternal freedom are wise enough to repel immediately any imperfect impression that would seek to intrude upon their attention. The attention is the one door through which flows every experience into your world. For you the attention has become the connection with the "sinister force" as you call it, and for US the attention is use as the constant connection with All of God, both inside and outside of ourselves. 

Govern the faculty of your attention for one hour and place it unwaveringly on good and I defy any shadow to approach you, during that period. Then increase the time until it becomes a habit and in this way you will be able ultimately by perseverance to keep evil of every kind from entering your world and experience. Your attention must be drawn to a thing before you become aware of it. This is even true of pain, for many a boy on the battlefield lost a limb and in the heat of conflict felt no loss until the attention was loosed from the crisis he was engaged in when fear instantly flowed in and acceptance of loss followed. 

If we could persuade you to keep your attention on good for as long as you keep it on a hurt feeling or a sense of privation, you would have the open door to your complete freedom. You of the Western World are not accustomed to discipline of mind, emotions or body, but for those who aspire to mastery, the easiest way to achieve Peace is to throw the full power of your attention all the time on some good manifestation of life, it could be a quality in yourself or another, a beautiful picture or a poem, a Master's words or likeness... but it is necessary that you be constantly alert as to that on which you, allow your attention to rest. You would not dream of swallowing arsenic or other poisons, yet you pollute your whole lifestream every moment you allow your attention to rest with acceptance on any record less than God's full perfection. If I, myself, or any other Master were to allow ourselves to recognize you as you see each other... within fifteen minutes we would be like you. Think that through. Therefore, if you want to be like us, then you must see everyone as we are. Treat everyone you meet as you would treat us, then your flesh will reflect that which you recognize as real through your attention. 

Your world is a mirror - reflecting back to you that which you believe is real... not what you affirm, through your attention. If you, my beloved children will learn this Truth and not just read it, I should see a great improvement in you and your worlds when I visit you in the Bulletin next week. The "word" must become your flesh and dwell among you, otherwise becomes a dead thing. There have been too many words allowed to die. The Masters' Words, as Jesus said, are life and must take root and grow in you otherwise he is not permitted by Cosmic Law to give his Life where there is no soul growth. Therefore, friends, let every Word of Truth we have given you become part of your eternal identity. Practice this and be Free.

Blessings and Love, MAHA CHOHAN
