My Child 

When the Spirit of God begins to stir in the tabernacle of the soul, the individual experiences that majestic rebirth referred to as being "Born Again" in a New Nature and the old droppeth away and is no more. The Strong Spirit that now activates your consciousness is the beginning of the New Nature which will one day be the all of you. 

New Birth is never instantaneous, although to the outer senses it may appear so. Previous growth and conscious living with the Spirit for centuries precedes the redemption of the self, but ofttimes that close association is not immediately apparent at "rebirth" and the soul will grow to physical maturity of the body and suddenly be transformed as in the case of Saint Francis and others. The time for resuming the association between the "I AM" Presence and the outer self is determined by many factors, and it is therefore not possible for any human mind to judge the growth or development of another individual by the present manifestation as the hour of reunion may not yet have come. 

Sometime individuals who have left the body with great union between the outer self and the Higher Self are forced to re-embody and suffer a separation from the spiritual Companion of yesterday, walking in the dark until some lesson has been learned without the help and sustenance of the Light Bearer. These are the periods of being "forsaken". When the outer self has assimilated the experience required to build a permanent part of the nature, the soul is granted a reunion with the companion of former lives, and the past development becomes suddenly apparent. Such people seem to spring forward in Spiritual knowledge and grace that amazes themselves and others. When individuals abandon the Spiritual path by reason of sense desires or disillusionment (as have so many initiates through the centuries) they set up causes requiring future embodiments in which troy must seek (without the already gathered momentum of their previous connection with their God Flame) until they have balanced the debt of formerly abandoning the Path. 

Today bring a special blessing to my faithful chelas - a blessing to enfold   you as you go onward and upward on your Path of Attainment.

Love and Blessings,

THE MAHA CHOHAN
