The Shamballa Letter
VOLUME 19, Number 3 January 17, 1997
Beloved chelas,
You who have chosen to follow this course of study, to receive and understand higher spiritual knowledge, have you completed the task asked of you last week? If so, you are ready to proceed; if not, stop right here and do what has been asked of you.
My words may seem harsh but there is no negative connotations in them, just truth and nothing more. One of the first things you must be able to do when working with the quality of healing, or for that matter all aspects of your life and service, if you wish to remain in the consciousness of the Christ, is to rise above the personal and learn how to look at life objectively. No longer will you be able to add negative thoughts, feelings or actions, in fact anything of a negative nature, to situations you encounter in your life if you want to become a true healer.
You may no longer judge or place blame when something happens to you or another person. You cannot focus on what you can no longer accomplish, even if it is as simple as preparing a meal or going to work until your physical body is healthy once again. And above all, you must not allow pity or self-doubt a foothold in any area of your life in need of healing. All of these actions must be avoided, for they can delay or occasionally even stop the process of healing altogether.
You must understand that there is a reason for everything in your life as part of God's great divine plan, even if you cannot see it at the moment. It is no one's fault - it just is - but it is up to you, as a chela on the path, to handle each situation to the best of your ability, continuing always to learn and grow, knowing and allowing yourself to be the best you can be at any given time. You must have faith that everything will be all right, and know that when something is taken away, something else will come forth to replace it.
Remember also that pity will only add to the condition, for this negative quality always goes forth and joins with itself wherever it is found, increasing the difficulty. You must firmly anchor yourself deep within the flames of mercy and compassion, and work from that level.
I know this may sound difficult or even impossible for you to do at this moment from this point in your current evolution where you now stand. However, as you contemplate different situations in need of healing within and around you, please give the Flame of Truth an opportunity to do its work in and through you, sharing with you it’s very essence.
Beloved ones, please return your attention now to the description of your personal experience, and as you read it over, once again ask yourself if you recall accepting or giving in to negative qualities during the process of your healing? If so, make a note of this and also consider what you could have done differently, what you will do differently in the future! Please be aware that I have given you a great deal of information to digest and work with at this moment. Take time to become still, review my words often during this week and I shall endeavor to shed additional light on what you have learned about yourself next week. Until then, be gentle with yourself and others for this is but one step on your path upward, toward the mountain of healing and attainment, beloved ones.
I AM Hilarion, come to share with you my wisdom for you have asked for my assistance.
