My Beloved Chelas of Light, 

I raise my hands in blessing to you as we embark on this New Year. My heart is filled with gratitude that you are walking with me upon this Path of Light. Yes, beloved ones, I AM always with you, and you know where we can meet whenever you so desire! Just go within the Temple, and there we can sit and talk or you can rest your weary head upon my breast, as I did to Jesus so long ago. He knew my need and, because of him, I know yours.

Because of you, many others will receive the sustenance and love of the Holy Spirit that I AM now able to dispense to you. The Holy Spirit is everywhere, and may never be restricted or restrained. Beloved Maha Chohan Paul, and all who serve with them, move in ever-widening circles of cosmic joy and comfort, to bring surcease to all life. They have, by their Love, taught me to be a Teacher of humankind. I cannot express my gratitude to them as Teachers, but I shall fulfill my gratitude through service to and through you! Many of our chelas work directly as disciples of Holy Spirit, even as I do. You are being prepared through devotion, obedience and love of life to serve others, especially at this time, by the use of the Violet Fire of Compassionate Love and Forgiveness. 

Within Forgiveness lies the possibility of transmuting the impurities, not only your own, but those of the race. Within Compassion lies the understanding that makes it possible to forgive. Within Compas­sionate Love lies the Peace that surpasses the understanding of the human mind. It is not through the human mind that forgiveness or compassion comes, but through the Spirit of a man. There is no other way. Through human understanding, one learns only the pain that he desires to escape. The pain becomes the pathway to Light eventually, because none can escape it. None of you has been without pain, nor are you completely free from it yet, but the time lies close when you will be left only the Joy of Forgiveness. Do not neglect to speak to Kwan Yin. She is truly the Goddess of Compassion, and the Teacher for this, having turned her back upon nirvana to stay with you. 

Invoke the Ascended Masters and all Cosmic Beings through the Christ within your hearts, which must be invoked first. That is your true Teacher, and I come only through the invocation of the Christ. This, which is true for me, is also true for all those who dwell in the Octaves of Light. I will speak further of this. I thank and bless you for permitting me entrance into your inner lives and worlds. It is a sacred privilege.

Your friend in Light,

John, the Beloved
