Beloved children: 

Reading your hearts and seeing your weariness, today I say to you LABOR, in the sense of physical depletion, is not in accord with the Plan of God for his Kingdom or for his children. The present labor under which mankind ekes out existence is but a disintegration of the elements of the physical body, as well as the resilient vitality of the Fire of the soul. Until the curse of labor has been reamed from mankind, spiritual unfoldment of a lasting nature cannot be manifested. Service to Life which was the Divine intent behind creation and the sustenance of the individual foci who chose to incarnate in the world of form was meant  to be a glad and happy opportunity to draw, mold and expand the God Life for the enriching of the created Universe through manifold designs, voluntarily drawn forth and sustained by the evolving race. 

It is our desire, our design and our purpose to release these aspiring to spiritual enfoldment and union from the curse of labor, which is the self imposed karma that all mankind took upon themselves when they claimed the outer self to be the “Doer”. 

The Inner man, himself, can know no labor. All unfoldment is in accord with the Divine Design, but when the intellectual consciousness claimed to be the 'Doer", the effect that ensued from this unnatural activity of the human self created the heart and goal of Labor as it is known today. 

When the students come again to a point of allowing the Great God Flame within full freedom to act according to the design of the God Presence, labor will be superseded by service, and man will rise to his natural estate of a Light Being, free from the curse of Cain.  

To overcome this bondage the individual must be aware of and conscious of the God Force, the Faculties and Activities that are within Life before he can make conscious demand by the Authority of his own Flame upon the Cosmic Law for the use of these Faculties, Gifts and Powers to mold out of the Universal Light Substance form in accord with the God Plan. 

As the designer or manufacturer has, at his fingertips, sources of material and ways and means of blending those materials into a definite pattern so does the student, who is to become co-creator with God it the expanse of his Kingdom, have first to be trained and become aware of these Powers and Potent Forces by which the design of his King may become form. 

It is such training that is undertaken by the Ascended Masters devoted to the establishment of the God Kingdom on Earth, through students like yourselves, whose motives and desires are sincere, but those capacities require development and refinement in order to become facets for God expression. 

To have, within the confines of the short association between ourselves and these Groups, brought you to a place of perception and awareness of the Power within the Sacred Fleet and the creative principles of thought and feeling, is to have drawn the consciousness from infancy to maturity. 

The apprenticeship now lies within the development of the capacity to tune into and wield these powers, not by chance, but by indisputable scientific law, and this training is, and always has been from the beginning of time the most strenuous for the chela. It should be, however, a time of great hope for at the successful completion of such apprenticeship, individual mastery is assured. And in a far greater sense the value of the student in the work of the Hierarchy becomes a thousand fold more than that of the most earnest heart yet unable to enter the realm of creative thought and feeling, and from the Design of the Master, create form. It is to this particular phase of your development, children of Light, that I am turning my attention, thought and the pressure of my lifestream at this hour. Your freedom will be proof of my friendship, association and desire to continue in greater and closer One-ness.

Love and Blessings,

THE MAHA CHOHAN
