Beloved children walking the Ways of Earth: 

I am going to endeavor to keep recreating for you the vibratory action of my Spirit every opportunity I have to reach your outer minds so that you may be wherever you go a Comforting Presence. 

This planet Earth is in a state of spiritual poverty. People know privation and lack of even the substance wherewith to clothe and to feed themselves. Many are without shelter from the elements. Many suffering from disease wherein there is no known comfort. The opportunity for those in embodiment today is without parallel. Joyous you should be in having physical bodies, in having contact with the Ascended Host, in being part of the authority in the emotional, mental, etheric and physical worlds while yet unascended. 

Many lifestreams at inner levels vow to serve a great Cause when they see upon the cosmic screen a plan which would bring greater perfection to the Earth. This plan is projected by Ascended Beings as your moving picture screen projects film for the enjoyment of the audiences. Many witnessing an Earth without sickness, poverty or distress are eager then to cooperate with that Master who has shown the picture, and yet after birth, after the assumption of personal karma, after the stirrings of desire and the soul's wants, so many of those who have made a spiritual vow find themselves disinclined to keep it in the world of form. So from the great numbers who dedicate themselves in every Great Cause few there are with constancy of purpose, of endeavor, of service, of constancy in the control of emotions. This is the rhythm of Life. Students cannot know peace while they are erratic in service.

Now, dear ones, better is it to take a smaller part in the Universal scheme, and be constant to it than to take a larger obligation and perform it erratically, because you have a jagged edge to your aura and an erratic vibration through the energies of your world, While your energy can be changed by projected thought directed at you by another or by the mass tide of energy in the atmosphere, that leaves you negative and in distress, you are not master of your world. The whole reason for which the people of Earth are embodying here is to learn that mastery. 

Each one is a focus of self conscious intelligence. Within the soul is the Presence of Almighty God, Intellectually you have accepted that, but in the outer consciousness the acceptance is fleeting - you go back to the enjoyment of the natural process of weaving out of the soul the various memories, thoughts and feelings that form your soul capacity. What really is your soul? Your soul is just an accumulation of consciousness which began when you first disconnected yourself from your Presence and played with thought and feeling in secret and created causes that projected themselves into the emotional, mental and etheric worlds, and finally into the physical world; then, through the Law of the Circle, they came back and anchored within that soul as memory of good and evil through the ages. That soul lives between embodiments in the etheric body. Therefore the endeavor of the Ascended Masters is to illumine the soul until you individually want to have a consecration of that soul to God’s mighty service. 

A spiritual vocation is not the same as a soul vocation. A spiritual vocation is where you, as I described above, looking upon a plan at inner levels say, "Yes, I will help". A soul vocation is when you have taken embodiment and your physical body, your brain consciousness, desires and habits of the family into which you were born, your own natural tendencies (usually directed from your desire world and your etheric body) when all these selves make up their minds through heart and brain to serve God and the Masters.  

The memory of your vow to help build the Golden Age is in your etheric body is a pulse beat in the Flame of your heart. It is a pressure of energy that makes you uncomfortable when the soul and the lower vehicles want their own way. Sometimes the soul-self wins and the vow of the Individuality is not fulfilled. 

Many great leaders of spiritual movements have felt that great depression when they knew that the vocation of the soul would not be sufficient for a complete sublimation of the lower nature for the good of mankind. Some others did make that sublimation consciously, working through the same vehicles that you now wear. 

Beloved ones think on this. When you lay your body down, even if it were to be this morning, in your etheric garment you will have to appear before the Karmic Beard, the soul of you, and answer as to what reason you have not to the best of your ability and Light (no one asking more) fulfilled your spiritual vow. Let us think on these things. There must be sublimation, dear children, of the outer self. This means that you, as an individual, must learn the mastery of the energy that is given you. 

Energy is obedient to the qualifying activity of the creator. Therefore if your thought form is tinged with selfishness or any discordant quality that substance which, creates the thought form will take on the color and the vibration of that. If your energy, the drive of your feelings, which fills that thought form with Life is of a discordant nature you will have manifestation, but an imperfect one, because of the quality of your energy. Even the quality of your decrees, your songs and gestures as you endeavor, in the privacy of your room, to draw the good of your Causal Body into it, that quality is charged into every manifestation.

That is why every form brought forth in the physical appearance world begins to disintegrate the moment it is completed. It might be added further, this is because imperfect individuals, even though they are constructive for the most part, such as engineers, chemists, scientists and research men who bring forth new ideas, bring them forth through mental bodies that are, of course, not wholly purified and then their feelings charge into it the quality of energy which is the motive behind bringing it forth. If that motive is to make money, we will say, to gain a sense of power individually, to become a controlling influence over great numbers of people, then that manifestation, that business, that activity is subject immediately to decay. The things that have lived through the ages, inventions or literature, have been brought forth with a motive that was not for self. 

Now we are at the beginning of an era where there is to come forth on Earth a vibratory action like that of Uranus where can we start but through the minds and feelings of the few who listen to us and believe that we are. So today I ask you in all sincerity to ponder by yourself how much you are willing to give! How much of the inner bodies would you dare offer to the Masters of Light without a reservation that you could have them back at any moment when something chooses to distress or displease you. Think on it! 

I give to you my comfort, my healing, my peace, my supply and my understanding. You give to me and I shall accept, your emotional distress, your mental confusion, your etheric bitterness, your physical appearance of age and disintegration – if you would let them go, one exchange for the other. So I thank you, my friends, and implore you to let go!

Love and Blessings,

THE MAHA CHOHAN
