The Temple of Comfort

At the southern tip of India lies a beautiful Island wherein is located the Temple of Comfort of the Maha Chohan. In this serene Focus where the chelas and the Masters themselves learn the mastery of Cosmic energies in order to be an impersonal comfort to Life, the Beloved Maha Chohan concentrates the Cosmic quality of Comfort and Peace to all Life - not only the mankind evolving through Earth's evolution, but the life of nature, the forces of the elements, the Angelic Kingdom, the bird life, and the four-footed creatures as well. 

Within the compass of what seems to all intents and purposes an ordinary tea plantation, this great Cosmic Retreat functions. Here, the Maha Chohan and the Seven Chohans often gather to discuss ways and means of best benefiting the human race. Looking out upon the blue waters where the Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal meet, the Temple of Comfort is not only a Spiritual Sanctuary, but a physical place of rest and respite from the cares that beset the day of the very few so privileged as to be invited to enter Its sacred portals. 

The large Council Chamber holds within itself the actual Focus of the Comfort Flame. Exactly what does this mean? It means, in essence, that through many ages the Lord Maha Chohan and his predecessors in Grace became interested in the virtue and quality of Comfort. They desired to magnetize the Comfort that abides in the vibratory action of the Kingdom of Heaven and make a radiating center of that Comfort Flame in India. Just as the radiation of the physical Sun warms, lights and sustains our planet Earth and our Universe, so too do these particular Spiritual Foci form radiating centers of definite, specific God qualities which are beneficial to the spiritual awakening and development of the Divine Nature in man. 

Our Lord Maha Chohan has the great responsibility of bringing Comfort to all Life - on every plane. To help him fulfill this obligation, the Seven Chohans serve selflessly to develop and mature the seventh portion of evolution which is Theirs to evolve and protect, (the Seventh Ray governing the Earth at this time). 

Often within the Council Chambers of the Beloved Maha Chohan, plans are discussed in unity and peace, and the cooperation of the Chohans is pledged to one particular service which will be of impersonal benefit to the entire evolutionary scheme. Often, too, the individual Chohans apply to the wisdom and understanding of the Maha Chohan in order to accelerate their own individual services. He has never failed to give such assistance; not only willingly, graciously and generously, but with tremendous interest in the projects of what he calls "his boys."  

To the masses which make up the majority of the members of the human race, the Elemental Kingdom, including birds and the four-footed creatures who have no words to express either their aspirations or their desires, the Maha Chohan is a COMFORTING PRESENCE. 

To the 'few' who desire to help him in his service, he offers the training, discipline and self-control required to become Comforting Presences to others. Thus he prepares individuals to be conductors of his Nature, which is the expression of the Holy Spirit, to mankind and the attendant evolutions developing in, through and around the planet Earth at this time. These 'few' are usually recommended by the Chohan of the Ray to which they belong, or they may apply personally through their Holy Christ Self for such training at the Temple of Comfort. Those so applying are given opportunity for such individual attention of this great Lord. From the directions and instructions given to them, and due to the proximity of their souls to his person, they gradually develop a nature like unto his own. Thus they truly become the Holy Spirit in person, acting as outposts of his Divine Presence in the environment in which they abide. 

Do you honestly desire to be such a Comforting Presence to ALL LIFE, irrespective of personal attractions and interest? If so, enter the Temple of Comfort. Stand before its Hierarch and be willing to comply with his directions. Then witness the effect of your endeavors in the world of those around you. You will require no other measures but your own influence upon the life around you to determine how much you have achieved by such aspirations and consequent service in his name. 

All individuals who desire Comfort of any kind; mental, emotional or physical, are welcome to attend this thirty-day Council in their etheric vehicles, and to all such, ministering Angels come upon call, invocation or prayer. Only those who desire to give comfort, to become, through individual application and prayerful service, Comforting Presences to others are accepted by this great Lord, through whose body passes all the energy that sustains and animates the evolutions in and upon this Earth. It is a great honor as well as a great responsibility to accept even an ounce of his priceless energy. For this reason the mankind of Earth who are allowed the privilege of becoming his guests during this thirty-day cycle will do well to endeavor, through the cooperation of the Holy Christ Self, to become in themselves radiating centers of Comfort and Peace to all in their homes, environments, spiritual centers, and the world generally. 

THE COMFORT FLAME

Maha Chohan, expand your Comfort Flame through me today!

Let all the Life I contact FEEL its Presence here - I pray!

Let God's pure love flow forth from me to raise and heal and bless,

Let all the Life I ever use be charged with humbleness.

Make and keep me happy, in sunshine and in shade,

Help me to 'keep on keeping on' til karmic debts are paid!

O, let me raise my hand and thus remove the cause of pain -

And let my very Presence restore faith in God again;

Make and keep me honest, earnest and completely God-sincere

So everyone I meet can FEEL God's Cherubim lives here!

O, let me honor the Master's trust in me the best I can -

Let me express the Comfort Flame from the dear Maha Chohan!
