Thanksgiving Class

It is my privilege to tell you that every Chohan under my direction is sending forth an intensification of the Flame of Gratitude to the glorious "I AM" Presence of each of you, and they shall humbly stand at your side as you kneel this evening before the Lord of the World to offer your Gift of Light! Every Member of the Spiritual Hierarchy is preparing to make this evening one of the most glorious Harvest Celebrations yet experienced! 

As each chela proceeds to the feet of Beloved Gautama and adds his Light to the Reservoir of Perfection, he or she will be in a Ray of Light provided by his individual Sponsor at Shamballa, that Member of the Hierarchy who had requested or been assigned to you during this period. Your individual Seraphim has been instructed to have a beautiful garment of Light for your etheric vehicle, and as the Seraphic Host are under the direction of Lord Serapis Bey, I assure you that you shall be fittingly attired for your presentation before the Lord of the World. 

You shall soon see the outpicturing of the Ceremonial Ray on the Earth, for that Beauty of expression which is being impressed upon the chelas' etheric garments shall express in the world of form. Speed the day when you shall accept and know the true meaning of Ceremonial. The time is now approaching when your outer consciousness will humbly bow to the Christ and no human opinions which you have gathered through the centuries regarding Ceremonial Activity will be entertained! 

As you proceed along life's path, through constructive qualification of God's Holy Energy, you should be scattering flowers at the feet of your own Beloved "I AM" Presence. It is your responsibility to use God's Life in a harmonious manner at all times... for one purpose, and that is the expansion of the Borders of the Kingdom of Perfection throughout the Universe.

You, dear chelas, have the sacred privilege of serving with the Spiritual Hierarchy to purify the Earth at this crucial hour in her evolution when she is throwing off the dense cloak of effluvia which has enshrouded her! Please be of good faith, for I can assure you that this process is now taking place. You shall shortly witness many other world events which are indicative of this! 

We, the Hierarchy, are extremely grateful to the chelas of The Bridge to Freedom and other constructive activities for the calls or prayers which are going forth for the purification of this Planet and her evolutions. Our Beloved El Morya as one of the Sponsors of this year is a very happy Being, for he knows within his Heart that the prodding which he is constantly giving you is now bearing splendid fruit! All the Hierarchy bow to his Light and for his unceasing determination, especially during this year, to get things done and that means to bring forth the Will of God for the Earth and her evolutions so she can truly be referred to as Freedom's Holy Star! Beloved El Morya pledged his energies to assist our Beloved Saint Germain in this out-picturing and HE IS A MAN OF HIS WORD! 

It is a magnificent gift to a Cosmic or Ascended Being to receive the co-operation of the children of Earth as they put their shoulders to the wheel and serve side by side with him to bring a specific Project into manifestation. I can lovingly tell you that Beloved El Morya's Heart is overflowing with Gratitude for the assistance which the chelas have given this year. He is resplendent with the Light of Gratitude to the Supreme Source for the obedience of the chelas to the Will of God! 

Tremendous are the Plans for the coming year which are being discussed and formulated by the Hierarchy and this activity shall continue here at Shamballa through the 14th of December; then the Rocky Mountain Retreat welcomes the Hierarchy and the chelas to the embrace of that mighty Focus! I can assure you that the year of 1969 has brought thousands of souls to the realization that there is more to life than just birth, physical experience and so-called death; that there is a world of more illumined experience after they lay down the physical garment to travel in the Octaves of Light, there to consciously enter the Realm of God Perfection as they raise their consciousness from the outer and let the Light within, the Presence of the Almighty, be the Director of their energies! 

Nineteen hundred and seventy offers great promise for the expansion of the Light of the world through all her evolutions and the Hierarchy are counting upon the further co-operation of the chelas to bring this about! 

Again referring to the Harvest of mankind this evening… Beloved Serapis Bey brought forth the idea that in this evening's Ceremonial when the Chohans proceed to the Throne of Beloved Gautama to give obeisance to his Light, they should walk under a Rainbow of Light as a tribute to mighty El Morya for his extraordinary Service during this year. Beloved El Morya loves the Rainbow for it is symbolic of the Will of God along all the Rays of the Spectrum. It is hoped that each chela will accept and embrace the fact that all the Rays of Light are equally important and when his fellow traveler is expressing God's Will on a Ray other than that being presently employed by the chela, that he will realize that every Ray conveys a particular Gift of the Father-Mother God and is essential to the out-picturing of the whole.

Bless the service of your fellow server and determine from this day on to accept in your feelings that every life-stream has some part in the Divine Plan of Cosmic Creation! We have brought this to your attention again and again and I know that the tolerant love which is flowing to you as I give you this counsel will bring you closer to this realization. While each man is his brother's keeper as far as bringing more Light into his world, none shall say nay or embrace the feeling that any service is more important than another. The closer a man gets to the Oneness of Cosmic Consciousness, the more fully does he comprehend the meaning of this. Oh, Beloved Father-Mother God, I pray that the chelas will now understand that thou art in all life and that this Truth will be firmly and permanently anchored in their consciousness. 

I know that you will be genuinely grateful to learn that our Blessed Æolus, Cosmic Holy Spirit has joined all the Chohans and my humble Self for many meetings, individually and collectively, to assist in the formulation of plans for the coming year. We are always so honored with the Benediction of his Holy Presence, for he truly has a Radiation of Pure Divine Love distinguished from any other Being. We bow to that mighty Love which embraces Understanding Tolerance in great magnitude and bathes all life in the comforting essence of True Peace! Ah, Love, that glorious cohesive Power of the Universe which is within all expressions of Perfection... truly it is the Beauty which is of the Kingdom of Heaven. 

You will also be interested to know that the Cosmic Dove over Long Island is pulsating with the Comforting Love of the Cosmic Holy Spirit as it enfolds all of the Doves which are in your keeping as they come to re-activate their Beings at Shamballa during these Holy Thanksgiving Festivities, where gratitude and adoration to the Supreme Source flows in ever-expanding Love. 

I would like to call your attention to the Spiritual Calendar and while the Thanksgiving Festivities take precedence over Christmas; Easter is the High Point of Celebration each year, and Thanksgiving is second in importance. 

It is gratitude of the Spirit which transfigures the soul and prepares it to reach the apex of experience which leads to the Ascension and is the propelling power which raises the soul out of the human and through the Resurrection; the Victorious Accomplishment in the Light takes place. Please understand that Christmas is a beautiful Feast Day, but it is the accomplishment of the Master Jesus by his steadfast adherence to the Will of the Father which brought him to the High Point of the Resurrection and Ascension. It was the Example set by the Master Jesus which was the PURPOSE of the Christian Dispensation. 

As we remember the birthday of relatives and friends, so do we celebrate the Spiritual Birthday of Beloved Jesus. Those chelas who are still adhering so much to the Christian Dispensation have not realized that it was the Sixth Ray which was the stepping stone to the Seventh, or the Age of Freedom in the Light, and they sometimes think that we gloss over the Christmas Holiday... that is not so, for we accept that glorious Service which our Beloved Jesus and his magnificent Parents rendered this Planet... one which none other in this recorded time has demonstrated! 

We have now come to the conclusion of this blessed Thanksgiving Class and Beloved Holy Æolus has asked me to convey his Love to each of you and to tell you that he will bless you individually as we now bring this glorious Cosmic Feast to a close. 

Enfolding you in the Love of the Cosmic Holy Spirit, Beloved Gautama and all the Spiritual Hierarchy,

"I AM" your Guru

Paul, the Maha Chohan
