The Shamballa Letter
VOLUME 20, Number 19 May 7, 2001
My beloved chelas,
I believe we will pause for awhile to review some of the teachings I offered to the students of the Ascended Masters through this Activity of Light a number of years ago. It is now time to work for awhile within the stillness and serenity of the Great Silence and expand your abilities in this area of your spiritual development. For those of you who have worked previously with this information may this review serve to expand your ability to work within the silence of your heart. Open you minds and hearts to my messages, beloved ones, for my words are as true now as they were then. *(Excerpts previously published May, 21, 1993.)
*The Great Silence is the meeting place of Masters and is the entryway into the very heart of God. Within the Great Silence, the mysteries of the ages are revealed unto the mind of man and the Flame of Divine Principle enfolds all within itself! "
*The relationship between an embodied lifestream and his or her Holy Christ Self begins with the art of contemplation. I call this an art for it must be diligently applied and practiced, until such time as you may carry a portion of the Silence with you at all times and into all activities in the world of form. My beloved friend and teacher, Dwjal Khul has referred to this as a Cloak of Quietude and so it is! ...When you wear this cloak you will know when to speak, and when to remain silent; when to act, and when to wait. As you continue to spend time in the Silence on a regular basis, you will come to know all things, for the Great Silence unifies the manifest man and the Inner Christ so that all actions proceed from the Wisdom of Divine Mind. "
*Beginning today and every day during the next week, I would like you to set aside ten minutes of time to practice stillness. Find a quiet place, a place of harmony and comfort to you. Sit in a comfortable posture. Close your eyes and be still. Practice stilling your thoughts, feelings and memories. Practice stilling the demands of your physical body. Do not seek to experience anything except stillness! This may sound simple to some of you and difficult to others. Nevertheless, I would like you to practice the assignment as given, regardless of whether you are already accustomed to longer periods of meditation. Set aside all preconceived notions and proceed. I love you my beloved chelas! Now let us begin!"
