The Shamballa Letter
VOLUME 16, Number 49 December 9, 1994
Blessed Friends,
The year has passed quickly and we now enter a time of quiet reflection in preparation for the coming cycle. During this year I have primarily worked with you in the silence, as my brothers Kuthumi, Dwjal Khul, and Serapis Bey have led you along the path of light through the weekly instruction of the Shamballa Letters. I AM very grateful to once again spend time with you now, as the current cycle comes to a close.
Some time ago, we worked together on awakening the guardian spirits who yet slumber in the world of form. As you joined in this work, you also cleared away a certain 'sleepiness' which still existed within your personal consciousness. The fruits of this labor enabled the World Teachers to work directly with you at a much higher level of consciousness than was previously possible. The emphasis in our teachings has changed over the past several years, focusing more upon divine principle than was the case before. While some of you may have struggled a bit with this change in focus, we are very pleased with your progress. It is no small feat to raise your vision above the level of daily activities to the principle which expresses through every circumstance ¾ especially while you yet wear a physical garment.
A great deal of your ongoing training has been directly connected with the complete awareness of your four lower vehicles and the various ways each one may attempt to overshadow your ever-expanding spiritual consciousness. You know all is within you and must be dealt with one step at a time as you grow and develop.
Some of you may still have some areas within your four lower vehicles which require clearing. You have been told about the reticence of one or another of your lower bodies, and it is to this I refer. One of you may tire very easily as you engage in work of a mental nature, while another has more interference from the physical body because it has not received sufficient exercise or rest. Still another may get feedback from the emotional or etheric bodies, slipping into attitudes of regret over some past decision. These are merely examples of various possibilities. Each of you must seek out and transmute your own imbalances, whatever they may be, especially if they are interfering with your spiritual self- awareness.
Before you, or any guardian spirit, can teach, heal, or radiate the myriad attributes of the Godhead to the fullest extent, you must be at peace within yourself. True inner peace comes through balance and once achieved, you will easily be able to recognize and fulfill your divine plan - the focus of your life.
I encourage you, during the coming weeks, to spend additional time in illumined contemplation of the Presence of God I AM within you, through your Holy Christ Self. Ask for balance, and welcome the Peace which is a gift of God to you.
I AM your brother,
John, the Beloved
