Beloved Ones:
There is an expression much used in prose and poetry called "affinity".
An affinity means a sympathetic vibration passing between two lifestreams which brings a sense of harmony and contentment to both parties. Then we have the word "sympathy" which, in the human parlance, means a condolence with the appearance of imperfection. When the Ascended Masters use the word "sympathy" we mean a vibration of a similar or complementary keynote which by nature blends harmoniously with other vibrations, but on a higher scale and produces a feeling of well-being and general harmonious accomplishment. As you can see, there is a subtle difference in the use of affinity and sympathy.
These affinities between lifestreams are physical, mental, emotional and etheric. They have caused violent attractions and, when they are absent, violent repulsions are often felt between the unperfected manifestations of the ONE Life.
When there is an affinity between the soul and lower bodies of two or more people, it gives the Masters of Love and Wisdom a tremendous natural instrument for service; because, to find two or more people anywhere on the globe who can, under stress and strain, remain harmonious and sensitive to the Presence - and each other - has been a difficult and almost impossible task.
Now, to bring you a homely illustration - the vibratory action between some of you, say, who have little pet animals in your homes, and those little creatures, is harmonious - and because of that, the vibratory action of love passing through your lifestreams enriches your own worlds and expands the love flame in your hearts. In like manner, the contentment of the little ones in question does much to raise the nature of their development, so the affinity even between an individual and a member of the four-footed kingdom breathes well.
The more developed the spiritual harmony and affinities among a greater number of people, the greater results in good through their radiation, emanation and individual evolution, as well as the more powerful the focus - which is dependable, during time of strain, to remain a harmonious whole.
Such a brotherhood of people has been our hearts' desire through the centuries, but the constant breaking of those affinities by human thought and feeling, is one of the greatest hindrances to the unfoldment of our Plan. I shall appreciate, therefore, dear children, your every endeavor to establish and sustain a feeling of well-being between yourselves and the lifestreams you are connected with in our Service.
So, children of my heart, dwellers for the moment in the world of form and strife, I set you to the difficult task of walking in harmony. When the sharpened tool of criticism appears in your thought dissolve it at once with the Light before it is brought into the world in words on the breath of Life.
At various times you have been given instructions on the possibilities to be found within the Light and of the power to transmute all appearances into its great Radiance.
Light is the emanation or forcefield of Energy. It is an Effect but not a Cause. It is a Product but not the Producer. It is a Solvent but not the Solver. It is Omega but not Alpha.
Understanding this, you will realize that the Light you draw to change conditions, to become supply, to bring Peace, must be generated by some self-conscious individualization. All self-conscious Life, from the Godhead to the individual, may through action, generate and expand Light.
The Cosmic and Perfected Beings, in addition to their Cosmic Service, are a continual outpouring of Light which enters the Cosmic storehouse for this System, and may be drawn by lesser individuals to hasten their liberation from shadow.
Thus you, beloved ones, who have learned what Light can do, must not use Light as though it were a natural product, for it is rather a Gift, released through the energy of other parts of God. This mighty Storehouse of Light anchored around the physical Sun is what you refer to as the Cosmic Light - meaning Universal - and when you wish specific assistance, if you reach into this Cosmic Light you receive a greater outpouring than if you tuned into the Light of your own heart, or of just one Master.
When you realize that every Perfected Being is a Fountain and Outpouring of Light, and you consciously draw that Light through your own lifestream, it looses the action of the Three-fold Flame in your heart and you begin to emit more Light.
Perhaps this will show you, not only the way, but the joy that will be yours, in helping hold spiritual harmony and affinity among each other during the coming twelve months, in interpreting the Heart of the Master; the song of the wind, the wagging of a puppy's tail, the fragrance of a flower, and trying to make the interest behind that manifestation of Life your own, Oh, not for duty's sake, but for LOVE'S sake, like you daily share and enjoy a particular interest of one part of Life that you perhaps have found akin to yourself.
Love and Blessings,
THE MAHA CHOHAN
