The Shamballa Letter

The priceless gift of Life is so little understood by even the most advanced chela. We stand by those whom we have sponsored; those who live because of the petitions we have placed before the Karmic Board and so often rebellion and discontent is our reward. If man understood these things his first gesture in the morning would be to bend the knee of the outer self in gratitude for the opportunities that Life offers him.

When the Karmic Board designates the lifestreams that are to enter the Earth plane each one of the Chohans takes back into the Temples of his own sphere those who come under his particular supervision and guidance and, for a longer or shorter period of time, he prepares them through radiation if they are spiritually underdeveloped, and by conscious instruction if they are chelas, and then these great friends stand at the gates of birth enfolding the incarnating souls with the blessings of the Flame and Ray, as they pass through into the world of form.

May I digress for a moment into my own activity, which you can duplicate in your own minds for any one of the other Chohans. Those whom we have trained in the action of the Ascension Flame for instance – and those still on Earth who are ready to accept it – are particularly blessed because a brother or sister from our Focus is given charge over the lifestream and becomes Sponsor and Guardian throughout the entire Earth life wherever the individual incarnates, and according to the response of the outer self to the sacred inner intuition and the Light in the heart and the promptings of the attending Member of the Ascension Brotherhood… Every conceivable way, shape and manner is used to stimulate the heart’s desire for freedom. It is one of the tragedies of life when those who have been marked for the Ascension return home without taking full advantage of the opportunities given them.

We are very happy at present because so many of the lifestreams in this great scheme of evolution have and are taking advantage of the magnificent opportunities within their grasp and the incarnating lifestreams that are coming to Earth have unprecedented opportunities offered them – through Dispensation of Lord Michael and the training being given by the Beloved World Teacher Kuthumi – to mention just two Masters. Thousands of souls of varying degrees of advancement are being prepared for the Ascension without any necessity of re-embodiment. They are being taken to the great Ascension Temples in each of the Seven Spheres which are all of pure white in appearance, something like alabaster. In each of these Temples brothers of the Ascension shall remain permanently and through the souls of the enrolled members, the Ascension Flame has been passed, as well as through all their inner bodies until they come to a point where their consciousness can absorb a little of the understanding of the Law. You see, it is one thing to take a consciousness who has an understanding of the Law and develop that, but it is quite another thing to take an orthodox consciousness who has been given a Grant of Grace and transmutes the energies in that one’s world. This can be accomplished only through the action of the Sacred Fire and Radiation. 

It is my desire at this moment to ask for volunteers to give their time in the Temples at night to pass the Flame through these souls whom Lord Michael has sworn to give their freedom. This would greatly hasten the preparation of those lifestreams, and it would show the Karmic Board what a dispensation of such great scope can do for the evolution of the entire world. 

Knowing your great desire and dedication to assist in the preparation of this Earth for its advancement into the Permanent Golden Age… I present this opportunity to you and truly anticipate your cooperation.
