The Shamballa Letter
VOLUME 12, Number 47 November 23rd, 1990
Beloved Chelas of Light,
Once again I enfold you with loving Gratitude from my Heart for the Feast of Thanksgiving you have offered to all of us in the Octaves of Light. The Elemental Kingdom, whose offering to the Lord of the World is presented before that of the Ascended Masters, Cosmic Beings, and Chelas, has also received your gift of Gratitude to them for their great service to you through the centuries. In many parts of the planet, elemental life is preparing to rest for a few months, and your love and gratefulness surrounds it with comfort as the winter season signals its arrival. Thank you!
I realize that we ask a great deal of you, often when the outer picture on the screen of life is least encouraging. Perhaps it is needless to call it to your attention, but I often think of how just a few words of encouragement at such difficult times helped me to go onward and upward when the path was steep before me. I will try to fulfill just such a purpose for you, hoping that you will remember my words and my Presence when you need them.
To be a chela is a most responsible position, for you are also acting on our behalf in the world of form. You are reaching up into the Love of your Presence, making your calls - not only for yourselves - but for all your brothers and sisters in the Family of Man. When an immediate response does not manifest in the outer picture, remember that all healing emerges from the inner realms. As it does so, it "pushes" situations to the surface that need healing. Realize that this is the indication of the need for you to intensify your service, and do not lose patience or courage.
It is always wise to take your attention away from the outer appearances, and use it to send the roots of your spiritual awareness deeper into the Heart of God, from where the healing will come. Often, the outer appearance is that which the unenlightened person will use to "prove" there is no God. To the chela, it must be the "proof" that the healing of God is at hand. No man may know the moment that the healing of a person or a situation may arrive, but it is his task to know that it will come!
In the "winter" of any experience, when things may look their most bleak, hold your attention upon the Presence of God "I AM" within, and you will bring forth a "spring" of great spiritual growth, having developed the roots of your faith and courage deep within the Spirit of God from which you have come.
