The Shamballa Letter
VOLUME 16, Number 28 July 15, 1994
Beloved Chelas,
I return to my discussion about the fear of abandonment. Even though no one is ever abandoned by God, this fear within their consciousness may cause them to feel that this is possible. It is not helpful to have fear in your hearts; however, regardless of the source of such fears, they can be used to provide an opportunity of learning. If you experience such fear, remember that it belongs to human consciousness. All fear is brought to your attention to be transmuted, both in personal situations and within the mass consciousness. Feelings of fear are often closely followed by feelings of guilt. Let such feelings alert you to the fact that transmutation is needed and remind you to do your work.
Even though everyone has added to the strata of fear through past thoughts and actions, a chela stands at the point of conscious control and use of his or her own energy. You are learning mastery through awareness.
As you remember not to react to fear with guilt, rapid progress will take place in your personal lives. You may then expand your progress into the lives of those who walk beside you, which will further clear the mass consciousness. Old reactions are sometimes difficult to recognize immediately because they have been with you for so long. They may be so familiar that they almost feel like old friends. Be alive, alert, awake and active in the work of transmuting your feelings, beloved ones!
The fact that I speak to you about fear and other forms of negativity you are experiencing within or through your consciousness should bring you encouragement. I speak to you as equals, in your intention and efforts, if not yet in full mastery. I recognize and bow in reverence before your unwavering desire for perfection and in your constancy at striving toward it.
You are our brothers and sisters who have descended into the world of form, sometimes having already been offered the opportunity of remaining in the inner realms. You are the ones who have come to directly serve the needs of your fellow travelers, knowing in advance the challenges of human embodiment. From the safety of the inner realms, you recognized that -
in spite of the difficulties that might be encountered, you desired above all to be available to assist your fellow travelers. You wanted them to be able to meet friends upon the Earth, who could - and would - offer unconditional love and forgiveness, lending hands, heads and hearts, opening the consciousness of the race and leading them into a higher evolution more rapidly.You have been taught that, in this year of Enlightenment and onward, your personal tests would be more subtle and often more difficult to understand. So long as you react to human consciousness, negative states of consciousness will 'run through' your four lower vehicles, and you will experience them, even though briefly, as if they were your own. This indicates that there is some vestige of negativity still present in your etheric, mental, emotional or physical bodies. Remember, very little negativity is required to cause you to react from an old state of consciousness. When this occurs, do not harbor these reactions, but immediately transmute them to the cause and core.
As you consider the points that I bring to your attention, you will open yourselves, finding creative ways of stepping up the process of your own purification. Eventually, you will reach a point where negativity does not enter into or flow through your personal consciousness, even though you will recognize when assistance is required by those around you.
To reach this level of awareness takes time, so keep on doing your best and be patient with yourselves, as well as others. Remember, we are with you at every step upon the path. I love you, dear friends.
Your Brother of Light, Kuthumi
