My Beloved Friends,

It is my fervent desire to intensify the understanding and expression of Divine Love within your Beings and worlds. As we embark together upon our studies of Divine Love, we will be greatly deepening our friendship. I speak of our friendship, because it is not possible to work and study together in this way, without experiencing a strengthening of this special bond. 

The Ascended Masters who act as your Teachers are to be your examples - not only of friendship, of course, but also as examples of teachers. You see, you are being prepared to be the teachers of those who walk just behind you on the Pathway of Light, and we ask that you become the finest examples of friendship - and of teachers - that it is possible to be!

I AM always a Friend, because I have overcome everything of a negative quality in my life which might impede my ability to BE a friend. Friendship is actually a Divine Quality and Virtue, for it is the most important expression of Divine Love that can be developed. It is a gift - just waiting for you to remove the wrappings and open the box, and then you can put it right to use! 

Let's think of the wrappings and the box as being the "outer appearances" - the negative qualities which stand in the way of your actually having the full use of the gift. We will endeavor - together - to remove the ribbons and the paper - all of these "outer appearances" - and get right down to the substance of Divine, Loving Friendship. If you think about it, it doesn't really matter how a package is wrapped, does it? It's what's inside that counts! 

I learned this lesson well, and those of you who know my history may attest to that. Once I understood the truth that the outer appearance, whether beautiful or not, meant nothing, I was able to help those to whom I was close, to develop and release their special gifts to the world. As well, I was also able to develop a loving respect for my own potential, and my own self-worth. Had I failed to under­stand this one seemingly simple principle - I could never have performed my Service of Love. To take it a step further - had I not been able to render that service at that very moment in time, I would not be expressing as the Goddess of Love now! I would not have been able to fulfill my Divine Plan - at least, not at that point in my evolution. 

When I truly understood this one aspect of Spiritual Truth, I was given my name, which is mine for all eternity - NADA!

Then, dear chelas, my teachers really put me to work, because any Divine Principle must be used until it becomes such a part of you, that you may lose all remembrance of ever having been without it. Right now, I realize that every step upon your Path seems to require so much thought, and a great deal of effort, but - believe me - the time shall come when you are completely blended into all the Divine Principles and Truths that have been presented to you. I shall assist you in every way I can, because I love you, and I know you will succeed upon your Path.

I ask that you spend the coming week in the concentrated use of the Violet Flame through your four lower vehicles. Beloved friends, this is truly a pre-requisite of any Spiritual endeavor at this point in the evolution of the Earth, and of our chelas. It is the only way to clear away the wrappings and break free of the "boxes" in which human consciousness has imprisoned the Treasure of your Holy Christ Selves for countless ages! Then we will speak of true Beauty, and of the Love of God.

May the Love of your "I AM" PRESENCE enfold you, sustain you, and protect you upon your Pathway to Mastery! 

I AM your Friend, 

Nada
