Beloved Children: 

As a dove will not alight where there is any noise, a fluttering of leaves or paper, or agitation - so it is in the still quieting of the inner bodies that the Peace of the Holy Spirit enters the heart of the chela. This conscious stilling of the thoughts and emotion (so that the mind is like unto a calm pool reflecting the beauty of the sky) should proceed the contemplative period. When the chela draws in this living spirit and feels its peace permeate his lower vehicles then will the submission of the self to the Christ within be accomplished with greater facility. 

One does not learn to know any person, any artistic work or any strain of music without turning the attention towards it, so the chela must cultivate an awareness of the vibrations of this Presence of Peace until he can feel it flooding his world as perceptively as he can feel the pressure of a physical hand. When this is done the daily life-activity becomes an expression of peace, harmony and beauty. 

The ways of the upward striving one are paved by the Light of his I AM Presence, and the bend of the road bears the pressure of my Love. When he follows the heart in simple faith and confidence (not always an easy task) he will find that the pressure and blessing of my Love will carry the course of his lifestream through the most blessed peace and the greatest opportunity for unfoldment, development and progress. 

King David's psalm - "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want..." is the story of the soul who abides in faith, and who while yet in the experience life, bound by the fetters of time and bonds of flesh, may find a certain security in a Cosmic Presence, that "prepareth the table in the presence of his so-called enemies", and who keeps the cup of the earnest one flowing over with its Grace, its Peace and its abundance. 

Every cultivated vibration of a Virtue through the human personality makes a sympathetic chord or connection between the outer self and the "I AM" Presence. Any discordant quality emanating from the personal self breaks that connection, therefore the importance of disciplining the outer so that the God-Contact between the inner and outer be maintained at all times. 

May "The Peace that passeth all understanding" forever abide in the hearts of each of my children.

 Love and Blessings,

THE MAHA CHOHAN
