Festivities at Shamballa

When the Focus was established

By Lord Kuthumi

Hallowed be the name of the Cosmic "I AM" Presence through whose Love and Graciousness, I am permitted this day to fill the role of narrator for the activities which took place on Long Island when the Cosmic Permanent Ray for Shamballa was anchored into the Earth substance.

Beloved ones enter deep, deep, deep within the Immortal Victorious Flame within your hearts so that you may partake to the fullest of the mighty Blessings which will be showered upon you - the chelas of THE BRIDGE TO FREEDOM, and all Life everywhere. 

Since the 15th of this month (November 1964) tremendous preparations have been made at Inner Levels so that the Etheric Temple would be in magnificent readiness for the anchorage of the Flame and Ray of Shamballa into the very substance of the Earth, where it shall be constantly energized and expanded by the Hierarchy until a visible replica shall be manifest on this land. 

The Brotherhood are grateful in the extreme for the glorious duplication of the original Temple of the Holy Spirit which has been built by those who were chosen, and those who volunteered to bring this to fulfillment The ethers over this Holy Isle are filled with a Light of great intensity, and I assure you that as the chelas further purify themselves, they will witness in the immediate 'Heavens' over this area, and the great metropolis of New York, magnificent activities as the maya of human creation is removed from this area through transmutation, as well as the human creation yet present in the vehicles of the chelas. 

Several days prior to the 26th of November, the Beings and Forces of the Elements were engaged in an Activity of Purification of the atmosphere, and those present in this locality can attest to the fact that it was like unto a raging wind storm coupled with the Blessing of Neptune, whose Undines poured forth a benediction into the very substance of the Earth - there to be graciously received by Beloved Virgo and the Beloved Gnomes, and the Undines themselves who were so very grateful for this so needed additional water element. 

In the early morn of the Cosmic Day, there was still, what appeared to be, a veil or cloud over the Island of Manhattan and Long Island. This represented, of course, the fact that there is yet a tremendous purification to take place in this area and on the whole Planet where chaos is rampant. 

Gradually this maya was parted, and Beloved Helios and Vesta prepared the atmosphere for this Cosmic Occasion, and when all was in readiness, one could glimpse the Beauty and Magnitude of the Light which was transferred to this Sacred Site, and which shall continue to expand until all upon this Orb shall feel and know the Radiation which is the Blessing and Cohesive Power of the Spiritual Headquarters of the Hierarchy for this Earth. 

There was a great amphitheatre over this locality filled with the Angelic Host, from the least in graded order, through the Thrones and Principalities. The Celestial Music which emanated from their Beings was the most exquisite blending of tones unheard of in the atmosphere of this Planet since the appearance of human creation. 

As one looked further, it could be seen that every Silent Watcher, through emanation of Light, was participating, and the Angelic Host had taken up their stations for every Nation on this Earth, so that they could assist in tying in the energies of the chelas engaged in this Activity, although they have not yet made their Presence known to you. All in due time - at the right moment! 

Angelic Beings from all the Planets belonging to Helios and Vesta have come to this Central Focus. Since the 15th of the month, they have been in the atmosphere of this Focus, as it has been their responsibility and privilege to create a Pathway of Light for the Spiritual Head of each of their Planets to come, in all the dignity of their office, from their individual Foci to be present at the Ceremonies. 

A special Throne-Altar, built in tiers, has been erected for this specific occasion, in semi-circular form around the Holy of Holies, the Sacred Cosmic Immortal Victorious Three-fold Flame for this Planet. It is within a Golden Brazier which rests upon an alabaster pedestal through which flows a vein of Golden Essence. 

I shall not read the Etheric Record of the Cosmic and notable Spectacle, the energization of which brings one to the present tense. 

One hears a magnificent Symphony as the assembled guests rise and Beloved Helios and Vesta take their places in the Throne section of the Temple next to the highest tier. 

Following in glorious processional, preceded by a Seraphic Guard, is the Lord of the World, Gautama, simply attired in white garments with a golden band at the hem, sleeve and neck-line. Following is our Beloved Regent, Sanat Kumara, then Lord Divino (Whom many still refer to as Lord Maitreya), both wearing white and gold garments similar to those of Lord Gautama. These Blessed Ones take their places in the specified semi-circle. 

We now see the regal Saint Germain, in all the dignity of his Being and Office, accompanied by his Lady, Portia, ascend to their places in the Throne section. 

Beloved Jesus and the beautiful Mother Mary proceed to their places where it was my great privilege to have a chair reserved for my humble self. 

We now witness the electrifying Presence of Beloved El Morya, then Lord Lanto, Serapis Bey, Hilarion, Lady Nada, and the Beloved Kwan Yin, who is representing the Seventh Ray in Beloved Saint Germain's place. 

You realize that courtesy is one of the first tenets of the Kingdom of Heaven, so the reigning Individuals of each of the other Planets belonging to Helios and Vesta now enter - namely from Mercury, Aquaria, Uranus, Freedom, Athena, and Purity - and proceed to the General Assembly section - facing the Beings serving the Earth at this time. They were previously invited by Beloved Helios and Vesta to be seated in the Throne section, but they all deferred to those specifically designated to the Earth as this Cosmic Activity is hers. 

A tremendous, - almost hushed, reverence is experienced. However, the overtones of the Angelic Choir and Symphony can be heard as all heads are bowed and everyone rises at the signal that Beloved Alpha and Omega are about to enter the Temple. In a burst of the most triumphant music, mighty Alpha and Omega proceed down the aisle to the semi-circle, and there ascend to the uppermost tier. In this great magnificence, we witness with awe the Light and Love of all those Beings merging into a blazing Light of such intensity which is impossible to describe to you, but those of you who have witnessed the Aurora Borealis have an insignificant example which would pale into the background beside that which it is our privilege to here behold when glorious Alpha and Omega entered. O, my children of the Father-Mother God, the humility in the hearts of these Cosmic and Ascended Guests as they bow in reverence to the Light of the mighty Alpha and Omega! They are now seated on their Throne Chairs, made of a substance like unto the alabaster of the pedestal upon which the Brazier for the Immortal Three-fold Flame rests. 

All is in readiness for the Induction Ceremonies, and the Cosmic Keynote embodied in 'At Dawning' is heard, dignifying the presence of Beloved Æolus. He approaches the Altar, followed by Beloved Paul and Lady Rowena. They proceed to the tier just below Helios and Vesta where they receive a Blessing in a tongue unknown to the Earth people. 

An attendant from the Court of Helios and Vesta removes the green and gold cape which the Beloved Maha Chohan wears, and another holds this attire. Now a Vestment of the softest white texture, yet shimmering, emblazoned with a beautiful Dove, is placed upon the shoulders of the former Maha Chohan, and mighty Vesta raises her hand in the Authority which is hers and invests the Beloved Æolus with the Authority of the Office of Cosmic Holy Spirit for the Planets under the direction of Helios and Vesta. 

The Cape of green and gold is now placed upon the shoulders of Beloved Paul, the Venetian, and his outer robe of Pink velvet having first been removed by the Angelic Attendant. At this moment Beloved Vesta, with the proper invocation, raises him to the Office of Maha Chohan, Representative of the Holy Spirit for the Planet Earth. 

The pink Cape which was formerly worn by Beloved Paul is placed upon the shoulders of Lady Rowena, and as Beloved Vesta raises her hand and makes the pronouncement, Lady Rowena becomes Chohan of the Third Ray. 

The blazing Light which emanates from these three Beings in true gratitude for the privilege of further serving the Omnipotent First Cause is indescribable. 

Beloved Æolus proceeds up the Dais to the row immediately below mighty Alpha and Omega where he is joined by the lovely Pallas Athena. The Maha Chohan (Beloved Paul) takes his place at the side of Lord Gautama, a chair having been set aside for him. Lady Rowena, resplendent and dignified, takes her place at the third chair where the Chohans are standing, significant of the Ray each is representing. 

At this time there is a slight interim of deep Silence - with great Light pulsating intensely. We hear a gong of the most melodious tone, and an intonation is given by mighty Alpha, and as he and Beloved Omega blaze the Light from their Hearts, the entire Temple is filled with an intensified Light wherein the whole Assembly is blended into ONE GREAT LIGHT, and we thrill to the mighty pulsation of the Flame and Ray of Holy Shamballa flowing from Alpha and Omega, Beloved Æolus and Lord Gautama into the Flame before the Altar, and then into the very physical substance of the Earth. Thus the Sacred Focus of the Great White Brotherhood is officially established in its new and Permanent Location, etherically and physically on Long Island. 

Suffice it to say that the Sacred Three-fold Flame transferred from the Gobi Desert to the Altar of Shamballa over Long Island is of tremendous expanded proportions as this Activity takes place. The Silence, Gratitude, and Pure Divine Love is one of the greatest magnitude, and truly is the Earth herself blessed beyond comprehension, as the Spiritual Hierarchy now have a Focus on the Earth plane from whence instructions and blessings heretofore unheard of shall emanate for the betterment of the Planet and all her evolutions. 

As the chelas in the physical appearance world have joined their energies and love, in gratitude, through the assistance of their own Holy Christ Selves, the Light from their hearts has formed an up reaching Triangle which entered the Temple itself, thereto be welcomed into the descending Triangle of the Assembly, to form a blazing and perfect Star, honoring our so loved Regent, Sanat Kumara, the Savior of this Earth, and his Lady, the beautiful Venus. 

One also sees, at this time, in the central uppermost part of the Dome of the Temple like unto a vaulted ceiling, a glorious Dove - the Insignia of the Holy Spirit - of effulgent White Light, giving forth a Radiation of the softest, most delicate shade of Pink. 

THE COSMIC MOMENT HAS COME AND THE DIVINE EDICT FULFILLED!  

(Beloved Kuthumi gave the foregoing Address November 1964.)

"There is Truth coming forth on this Planet through THE BRIDGE TO FREEDOM and through many other avenues; but remember always - this Focus at Shamballa is the HEARTBEAT of all Spiritual Activities on this Planet, everyone doing their assigned perfect work according to the vibratory action of their various lifestreams." 

Beloved Lord Divino
