Beloved of My Heart: 

As we again approach the Holy Season and prepare for the outpouring of the Divine Beings whose radiation, blessing and love are to be intensified beyond all previous eras since the actual Nativity itself took place. Let us contemplate the ones who have tread before you and achieved the Ascension in the Light. 

Through the kindness of the Cosmic Law, there is always provided a way and means wherein and whereby the outer consciousness can learn to enter into and become receptive to this radiation. One is to practice the SILENCE and learn to remain in a constant state of alert and listening grace to their benediction. It was not the potentates upon thrones of Temporal Power but the simple shepherds on the hills who heard the Angels of the Most High Living God proclaiming the birth of Beloved Jesus. It is the same today - the simple but worthy chela, intent upon spiritual understanding, who rises into the mystic Upper Chamber to meet the Lord (the Law) and return, as the simple shepherds, long ago, filled with awe and grace to perform Divine Service- in his name. 

Another activity is that of gratitude for gifts received (human or Divine). As such acceptance becomes the natural way of life for the chela, more and more of the Divine Virtues of the Heavenly Father, his divine son, Jesus, his Holy Mother Mary, flow into and become a part of the chela's feelings and by the natural course of events also radiates from the chela to those he (or she) hold near and dear. Thanksgiving is a feeling in the heart of the chela which should remain with such a one throughout the year. Soon the great Shamballa opens her doors to the Divine Ones, and the worthy chelas as well, and through those Open Doors all will come rejoicing "bringing in their sheaves (which is a Harvest of service well accomplished in the name of Heaven's sons.) 

You, too, shall bring in your sheaves and, joining with Sanat Kumara, Lord Divino and the sons and daughters of Heaven, you will rejoice at the added impetus of your Flame as it joins with the glorious Immortal Three Fold Flame, brought by Sanat Kumara from Venus, and anchored at Shamballa. This Flame has been guarded by him and other Kumaras until there is truly a great Light in the Orient. Recently Sanat Kumara was released from his office of Lord of the World because your sheaves, each and every one, increased the Light at Shamballa (Foci for the Spiritual Great White Brotherhood) and also because of the love of Lord Gautama for the Earth and her attendant evolutions. He, qualifying for the position of guarding, protecting and expanding the Foci at Shamballa, released Sanat Kumara, who returned (temporarily) to his Native Star, Venus and to his Divine Complement, also bearing the name Venus. Sanat Kumara, however, always comes Earthward for processional activities of the Great White Brotherhood. 

He will, therefore, preside at this Thanksgiving (as in previous years) to accept your "sheaves". He will meet with the Brotherhood and with you, too, and give impetus to the Spiritual growth of your consciousness, so that it is most receptive to the blessings of the Holy Season.

                                                 Love and Blessings,
