Dearest children: 

A far greater ecstasy than meeting the Ascended Master face to face is when the chela and the Ascended One blend their consciousness through mutual affinity in service. The physical proximity of individuals with the Ascended Masters does not always make for harmony or mutual benefit, but the blending of two hearts or more into a given service for God draws lifestreams closer than any physical partnership. 

When the chela feels that the physical Presence of the Ascended Master is the ultimate of his striving, it is a mistaken understanding of unfoldment. When the Ascended One has achieved the Ascension he becomes a great battery of Electronic Power in which the Intelligence (so highly developed in the human form preceding his Ascension) is greatly expanded in the rarified atmosphere of the Fourth Dimension. In like manner the great capacity and the talents which are always externalized in such a Spiritual Partnership marks inner Grace and is also expanded in Cosmic Service. To describe the Divine Nature, Capacity and Love of such a Divine Being in words, is impossible. All of this great Electronic Energy controlled by the Self-conscious Being whom we call the Ascended Master is dedicated solely to some Service for the benefit of some particular facet or expression of life to a more perfect expression. 

An individual must identify himself in feeling with the motive which forms the vibratory action of the Ascended Master's Plan and Design if he desires union with his Master. The Ascended Being's motif is like unto a great philharmonic orchestra, and the student could not hope to create such an elaborate design through the vibratory action of his human (though sincere) endeavor to place himself in Spiritual Rapport with the Perfected One, he desires to serve. As a single violin can add to the motif of the great orchestral volume, so can the individual actively create within himself the vibration that is similar to the Ascended Master's in setting up his own lifework to the best of his ability, according to the Ascended Master's Plan. By contemplation, the chela can do this by drawing into his consciousness an impression of the Ascended Master's Interest and Service. 

For your illumined Faith and Trust in the Light and in the Ascended Host and their Service for the upliftment of mankind you are blessed.

Love and Blessings,

THE MAHA CHOHAN
