The Shamballa Letter
VOLUME 12, Number 34 August 24th, 1990
Dear Ones,
We are working with the healing of the emotional body, and we shall continue. There is much to be considered, and understood. People do not truly understand either the purpose of their emotional natures, or the nature of healing. When you set about healing another person, you most definitely touch into the nature of that person. If you were incapable of feeling, it would be absolutely impossible to heal anyone or anything in the world. Yet, because it is so little understood, the emotional body has become either the ruling force in the lives of individuals, or it is pushed aside and denied completely, because people fear its potential power over them.
In the case of a chela, it must be understood, and it must be neither denied, nor must it be permitted control of your lifestream. It is one of your tools, and I must add, one of the most important. It is, in fact, the reason why it is the largest of your vehicles. The Earth is the schoolroom in which lessons of the emotional nature must be learned, and that is why we work so much in developing your understanding regarding it.
To deny the existence of feelings is to cut yourself off completely from all of humanity, and to deny brotherhood entirely. Yet, in the world, all are inter-dependent upon each other for so many things. It would be foolish to say the foot could exist without the leg, or that the head could exist without the heart. To exist, one needs his whole body, and no part of it may be thought of as unimportant or unnecessary to the well being of the whole. Therefore you must think of yourself as a complete entity, with everything about you being of importance, and you must understand that you are important to the entire race of mankind. As well, you must think of them as being important to you, and to your existence. That is the truth, and truth must be used as your yardstick, if you will, to measure the worth of all teachings given to you.
A Master of Light never tells you something that will cause you to have a feeling of separation, either within yourself, or from your brothers and sisters in the Family of Man, or from your Father-Mother God itself. I have said "all life is ONE!", and that is truth.
When you work to heal another, you touch that being's world and conditions. To some degree, you must do this, to understand his situation, and to bring healing. Otherwise, you could not know his need, and you would not develop the power of compassion which is necessary for healing.
We have been working with you at inner levels to assist you to understand this. To say that someone may deserve their condition is a statement that comes from the human consciousness, and is a judgment. On the other hand, to desire healing for that person, without judging why he is experiencing discomfort, but only because you have love in your heart for him, is of the Divine Mind, and brings a healing current to that person.
You have been working, at my request, primarily with children and with others who may be in dependent situations which are not favorable to their welfare. When you have touched these situations, you have felt deep sorrow, often not even being conscious of why you were experiencing sorrow. I want you to know that sorrow, born out of love for life, brings a great power of healing to the situation which you have touched in your consciousness.
In these times of transition, there is much sorrow in the world. Out of the love of your hearts, you are working as channels of healing to many of these situations. Know that there is great Spiritual Power in these feelings you may experience from time to time, and that I AM grateful for your love extended to All Life.
I Thank You,
Kwan Yin
