My Beloved Chelas, 

Many of you have now completed the petitions that you wish to submit, and are impressing them upon your consciousness by reading them before you retire each night. If you desire to send your petition to Shamballa, so that it may be placed within the chalice together with the others, do so now. Remembering that the petitions are released to the Octaves of Light when they are consigned to the physical flame, please retain a copy to use at home in your ongoing efforts to support your petition. The Petition Classes will be held from Monday, June 24th, through Sunday, June 30th, at 8:00 PM. Petitions will be consigned to the physical flame following the final Class on June 30th.

Be sure to join your energies through projected consciousness while the Petition Classes are being held at Shamballa. Remember also, that the efforts you are putting forth right now in the preparation of your petitions will make a difference in whether they are likely to be accepted by the Karmic Board, or not. Their decisions are based upon the energy that will be put into them during the ensuing six month period.

Each Class will be concentrated upon the Activity of the Ray that is in effect upon the day that class is held, starting with the 2nd Ray on Monday evening, and concluding with the 1st Ray on Sunday, June 30.

If any group so chooses, they may submit a petition together. This provides a great impetus to the planetary work, and may be done in addition to your personal petitions. To those of you who are working in a group situation, I ask that you consider doing this. 

While I have the privilege of the attention of all our chelas who receive the Shamballa Letter, I courteously request that the Call for Peace again be submitted as the Petition from the Heart Center, as this is an outstanding need that requires continuing attention. I thank you in advance for the response to my request, on behalf of the Beloved Karmic Board. It is their desire that I tell you that your continuing use of this call is most beneficial, and will continue to fulfill one of the deepest desires within the hearts of the entire Family of Man.

One of the most important qualities you can develop is that of constancy. I deeply appreciate your every effort to expand God's great Light into your world, and I know that you have an awareness of my Love and appreciation for you, each blessed one! It is difficult to be constant about your inner work from time to time, because of the many things that require your attention every day. Enthusiasm may fade after the initial work is begun, causing many a great plan to be set aside before it has been completed. Sometimes, human consciousness just lets all that you intend to accomplish fade completely from your memory. Think creatively to overcome this barrier to your personal Spiritual Progress, and that of the Earth.

Know that I AM always with you, My Beloved Friends. 

John, the Beloved
