Shamballa
Point of Origin, Point of Return
I Summon You to Pursue the Path of Adeptship in 1995
Release of the Thoughtform for the Year 1995:
The Manifest Presence of the Great Central Sun

In the sweetest sound of the inner Word, I AM come. Contemplate the sweetness of the word of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Contemplate now Shamballa, point of origin, point of return.

Now you are in the land of the West, the Western paradise. Do you dwell in the etheric octave, for your consciousness always returns to that point of ultimate reality?  Or do you allow yourself the descent into the doldrums?

I ask the question, for it is necessary for you to face it, to answer it and to say:

Yea, Lord, I have strayed from the point of Light,
  from my home in the palace of Light.
Nevermore shall I return to that lowly estate
  wherein I wandered far from thee.
I come on bended knee, O Lord—O my Lord.
For I know that the true ode to joy
  is the joy of being at that point that is
  the highest level of being to which I have attained.

Beloved, many of you have attained to levels in the etheric octave long before the transition called death. You have established your seat on the first rung, the third, the fifth or the tenth. Occupy that seat until I come to make that seat permanent for thee. For it is the seat of authority whereby you gain an empowerment at that level of the heaven-world even while you work in the earth as a servant of God in all his people.

This is a wondrous concept, is it not? You need no longer think in Christian terms of dying and going to heaven, nay, but in terms of establishing your heaven-world here below in your very aura. You have heard such things said. I pray you, I beg of you, implement them, realize them, become them!

We are waiting. We are waiting for you to understand that perfection is not difficult. “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” <1>

We speak not of a perfected human being. There is no such thing. For when the human is perfected it is no longer human. We speak of the soul who is perfected in love. Whatever else that soul may be manifesting, when she is perfected in love, in giving and receiving love at all levels, she may receive her sealing in God’s perfection. That soul, then, is in the perfection of God no matter what the comings and goings of her human foibles might be.

Yes, I AM your Father. And I come to all you who mourn the loss of father—whether father figure, whether father from birth. I come to tell you that to embody the Presence of God as Father in the earth is the great calling of all those of the masculine ray. Yet many have failed. Children have been left without fathers. They yearn and long for father.

Just because you are in a masculine incarnation does not necessarily equip you for true fatherhood, true caring for the soul of your child or of any child. You must go through the steps of becoming a little child. For except ye become as a little child, ye shall in no wise enter in to the kingdom of God the Father. <2>Thus, how can you role-play and be the outpicturing of myself and other avatars <3>to all children?

It is necessary. There is a crying out and a crying out again of the children throughout the earth for father. They will see in God only the image that you portray as father. If you do not portray the image of love and wisdom and authority, then they will not translate that to the Father in heaven. There is alienation between children and the heavenly Father for want of children having had the human father.

Do you understand this so well, beloved?

Pray, then. Pray, then, if you yourself have not had a role model for father or not known your father at all. Pray, then. Pray for oneness with Saint Germain as father, and with others of the ascended host.

Make your peace with God. Make your peace with the human father figures you have known. But always know that your heavenly Father has sent to you a representative angel, perhaps from a cosmic council, to fill the role of father to you when you have not had a father or have lost a father.

I speak of this, beloved, because the Father is positioned on the chart of your Cosmic Clock at the twelve o’clock line, <4>and I speak to you now in the hour of twelve o’clock. <5>

If you cannot and will not and do not embrace the Great Divine Director, who is the initiator on the twelve o’clock line on your Cosmic Clock, you will have a chasm, a vacancy so great that you will not in any wise be able to fill it in. The Great Divine Director has been the Guru of many of the Ascended Masters whom you know. He has trained them, he has been father image to them; and therefore they are raised up in the full flaming presence of the Father God.

Think, then, upon this. And if you do not have resolution with your human fathers of many lifetimes or of this life, I pray you, seek resolution with God and direct violet flame to all who have not fully represented to you that position in hierarchy.

Now I speak to you who have not had mothers or have lost mothers or have been deprived of the fullness of a mother’s love or presence. Seek also the resolution through the violet flame and through the great sense of the love of the ascended hosts, who comfort you, who heal you. Know that God has not ordained that you should move through life with scars that prevent you from becoming spiritually whole and humanly whole, but often you have ordained it by your own karma.

We speak of Father and of Mother. On the chart of the Cosmic Clock the Father is positioned on the twelve o’clock line and the Mother on the six. And the vertical line between these two points represents the spinal altar of being. For you to be able to hold the balance as the son of God, the daughter of God on the three o’clock line, you must be in balance between the Alpha (Father) and the Omega (Mother) positions. Then one by one you can shine forth as the Son of God incarnate.

When you are in balance in the polarity of Alpha and Omega and in a state of love and mercy and forgiveness toward all who have represented the Father God and the Mother God, then your soul might fly, swift as an arrow released from the bow, from the three to the nine o’clock line. And there, on the nine o’clock line, you will be greeted by the Holy Spirit. Thus, it is evident that the little child must take the hand of Father-Mother and become the Son and, in the fullness of that balance, ultimately know the embrace of the Holy Spirit, the Maha Chohan.

I bring this message to you, for we have dwelt on these subjects from different angles and points of the Law. But it is now time that you take responsibility for your karma on the cardinal points of the Cosmic Clock. Clearing the cardinal points means, beloved, that you are drawing nearer and nearer to the fusion of your soul with the Holy Spirit. From time to time, you have glimpses and interludes of associations and onenesses with the Holy Spirit; but I desire that this should be your constant vibration, your constant love.

Do not weary in well doing. Surely you must know that I sponsor and love you, that I fill in those rough places and make them plain <6>and deliver you and liberate you from past sorrow and crying in the night when no one heard and no one came. Blessed ones, to have these experiences and to know the inner pain of yearning for God, this is a goad to the soul who deeply desires to attain union with God—the only union that truly brings satisfaction in the spiritual life.

Now, as we are nestled in the spheres of my Causal Body, see, then, as you have seen on Buddhist tankas, <7>the placement of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the rings upon rings of the different spheres of my Causal Body. Know the consolation and the comfort in this hour. Know the profound peace, the peace of simply knowing that you are not alone, that we are indeed one and that by my transmission of the Word through the Messenger I release Light from the highest octaves. I can anchor this in the earth in the upraised chalices of your chakras.

The reason for our speaking, beloved, is not merely to convey knowledge but to convey the substance of oneness, a tangible fire and flow of love that binds you to your Higher Self, that comforts, consoles and brings transmutation. Therefore I am speaking to you in these words that are so simple. They are new and they are old.

But as you study the path of the Buddha, come to understand that I shall not spare the rod and spoil the child and therefore fail to prepare you for the initiations of Mara the Tempter and all the legions of outer Darkness. No, I want you to experience these initiations as I did, <8>and I would not do it for you.

Therefore, rejoice!  Chuckle and know that all of these forces shall go down before your oneness with me through Lord Maitreya, Lord Jesus, Lord Padma Sambhava and the Holy One, Sanat Kumara. Know, then, beloved, that all things are appointed unto you. Know that no Darkness may come upon you except for the testing of your soul. And know that except you be determined to fill a vacuum with Light, that vacuum will be filled with Darkness.

You are worthy of all the tests that come, save those that come because you have not put on your tube of light, made the call for protection, summoned Archangel Michael and his hosts, given your violet flame and actually visualized a tangible wall of fire about you that is impenetrable. If you do not put on your spiritual armour early in the morning, it is your fault if you encounter this and that distraction and at the end of the day have accomplished little or nothing. You will have lost a day, and you do not have any days to lose. For, as you have been told, the very hairs of your head are numbered. <9>

So you must follow the disciplines of the Path. I myself embodied those disciplines, thereby setting the example for the bhikkhus <10> that they might perform their devotions in the imitation of my path. As long as you are in the earth you must set the example and not place yourself above your fellows, no matter what your level of spiritual attainment.

Always practice the basic precepts. Do not set them aside. For when you do, you may be caught in a warp of time and space that was totally unnecessary, all because you did not put on the whole armour of the Lord. <11>

The armour will not serve you except there be a fire of love all-consuming filling your temple of being. Love is the sure defense. When you are on fire with God’s love, all hosts of the LORD come to your defense and accelerate you in your mission. And your mission will not be stopped, I promise you.

The mission of every individual is ordained. It can be fulfilled if that one will become wise and astute. Look to the right, to the left, up and down. Yes, the quality of astuteness must be yours. For if you would have that extraordinary accomplishment of a lifetime that many have achieved, you must be alert. O beloved, those who are ignorant and slothful and who think in the face of planetary karma, “It shall not happen to me today,” are the ones upon whom the mountain of karma comes tumbling down.

Saint Germain has given you a way out, but he cannot make the choice for you. You have a way out and you must make the moments count.

Do not become lax in this year!  Remember my word:  Do not become lax at any time of the day or night. You have voices that can sing and give the fiery fiat. You have voices that can hum a sacred tone and find resonance with the tone of the Great Central Sun. Use the power of the spoken Word and use it in grace and in holiness and in kindness.

Make no more karma!  For I announce to you that there is not a Master in heaven who will take upon himself your karma in this coming year. You will bear the full burden if you miss those requirements of the Law that you must meet. Therefore, alertness of mind, fitness of body, perception of soul—these are the goals.

Remove the sound waves that come into the home and occupy precious moments. I speak of the dissonant sounds that come through television. I speak of all other sounds that are detrimental, beloved.

Music does enhance the spirit. But if you would enter the Great Silence, then be silent. Go to the mountains. Go to the rock. Go to the bubbling stream. Go to the high snows. Be still and listen quietly to the footsteps of the deer and the drip of the melting snows. Listen to all that breathes. Know the sounds of life, and slowly but surely there will be magnified within your being the sound of the music of the spheres.

You have brought forth music, beloved. I encourage all of you who are musicians or even part-time musicians or merely lovers of music to soar through the decrees of the Fourth Ray to higher levels where you will hear sounds that have never been heard at the level of the human consciousness. If you would have these exalted spiritual experiences, then you must set aside the lesser experiences that have occupied your time and space. You must choose one or the other, beloved.

Let not music carry you, for you carry the music—the music of your keynote and your Causal Body, the mighty rings of fire surrounding your I AM Presence. You carry the music, beloved.

Do not constantly play music to carry you out of depression. Of course, it is appropriate at times. But, beloved, one day you will enter the Great Silence, and the only reinforcement you will have will be in listening to the unfed flame burning on the altar of your heart.

That flame will propel you higher and higher proportionately as you meditate on and expand that flame daily. All things are available to you, all things are possible unto you, but only you can take your free will and enter into ascending spirals and accelerate on your Homeward path.

Oh, how I wish that you would have the fire and intensity of the bighorn sheep, the mountain goats, the mountain lions!  Those that dwell in the out-of-doors, they also are part of the evolutions of the Buddha. Yes, beloved.

Where do you go to access the fire that sets you on fire day by day?  Why, you go to the altar of God, to the Maxin Light, to the Holy of holies, to the Shekhinah glory.

Yes, beloved, you see, the doing is in yourself. It is the doing that comes from the inner will and the inner drive of many lifetimes. If you have lost your will and your drive, if you have slackened your pace, if you go this way and that without organization or definiteness of purpose or planning, then what can I say?

Now concentrate, for concentration is rapidly becoming a lost art in the West. The power of concentration is destroyed by the sugars, the alcohol, the drugs and the ensuing yin condition—all of this. In the West, you must fight to maintain your own concentration and one-pointed mindfulness in the face of so many materialistic distractions.

Mindfulness. Right Mindfulness! <12> This is the beginning of mastery. I summon you to pursue the path of adeptship in this coming year.

Now the angel of the Keeper of the Scrolls does descend to place in my hand that scroll which when unfurled will reveal the thoughtform for the year 1995. [41-second pause]

The thoughtform for the year 1995 is the manifest presence of the Great Central Sun. And within the sphere of the Sun you can see your Father-Mother God, beloved Alpha, beloved Omega, who represent the beginning and the ending of your cycles of going out from and coming in to the heart of the Sun. <13>

This manifestation of the Great Central Sun is brought to you as a dispensation to assist your passage in the dark night through which earth and her evolutions must pass. And as the darkness becomes darker because of descending karma, so you will have before you the vision of the Great Central Sun. It is brighter, far brighter than the sun of your solar system. It is a spiritual sun as well as a physical sun.

Therefore, by meditating upon the specific point of a physical central sun, which you often associate with the God Star, Sirius, you may also look to the Sun behind the sun, that spiritual, unknowable Sun-center. And you may meditate upon Ein Sof, <14> the unknowable, indescribable God.

I say, face the Sun of your I AM Presence daily. Face the sun of Helios and Vesta and recognize that all sons and daughters of God in all planes of being throughout the Matter cosmos have the possibility of meditating upon the Great Central Sun through the Sun of their I AM Presence and the sun of Helios and Vesta.

This meditation can produce in you a feeling of intense heat or a glow over the third-eye chakra and surrounding the head as a halo. With concentrated visualization daily, you can establish such a strong heart tie to the Great Central Sun as to make you almost oblivious to the darkness of the earth. You must always put this darkness behind you. And when you invoke your tube of light, visualize the rays of the Great Central Sun streaming down upon you within and without.

Although the Messenger has not known of this thought-form (for the thoughtform for the year is not unsealed until the moment of my dictation), she was directed by El Morya to place upon the new masthead of the Pearls of Wisdom for the year 1995 a beautiful metallic gold. Thus, the Lighthouse and the Eastern and Western focuses of the Darjeeling Master replicated on the masthead of every Pearl of Wisdom published in the year 1995 will be highlighted in a gold reminiscent of the golden rays of the Great Central Sun.

Let that golden masthead remind you each week of the thoughtform for the year. Let it remind you to follow the rays, the beacon of the Lighthouse, back to the center of the flame. And may you also be reminded once a day that Alpha and Omega are drawing your soul into the center of the very womb of cosmos.

Thus, beloved, on the morrow we shall take up again the Great Central Sun meditation, <15> and you will have that experience of journeying to the Sun in meditation.

In conclusion, the teaching on the thoughtform of the Sun is that in earth’s dark night in the Kali Yuga <16> you must be a sun, a walking sun—and a son of God, s-o-n, as the Christ descends into your temple. You must be a sun that is literally a ball of fire that you can unleash at any moment for any constructive purpose.

Thus, I seal you in the arms of the Divine Mother, Omega, the Divine Father, Alpha. Ponder yourselves, then, as suns lighting the world for the millions who live in abject darkness and abject poverty of spirit.

Be humble. Give thanks. Serve all who are in need. Do not give away the goose that laid the golden egg or you will have no more golden eggs. So, beloved, do not give away yourself, but give away the fruits of your Tree of Life. Maintain selfhood as a pillar of strength unto all who need that strength, and I will be with you.

Peaceful ones, stouthearted ones, merciful ones, compassionate ones, help those who are ambiguous about their identity. Draw them to the center of their own mighty Sun-center, their I AM Presence.

I seal the monks. I seal the nuns.

I seal all who love God.

I AM the Lord of the World. Therefore I daily minister to every soul upon earth, and wherever it is necessary I reinforce and sustain the threefold flame of the heart. But I cannot interfere with free will. If individuals determine to extinguish the flame by the abuse of the sacred fire, then by and by I must let go and let their freewill choice take over.

Nevertheless, they will not be so apt to make the wrong choice if you go forth and teach them, if you send the signal on satellite whereby people all over the world may receive my teachings on enlightenment that I gave long ago and that I am giving you again today through your Messengers.

Keepers of the Flame, attention!

The soul that is lost may be your own.

Therefore I say, save your soul and save the souls of earth by the path of Buddhic enlightenment. Let not another soul be lost because of your ignorance and your ignoring of the Law. This I beseech you, for you shall have grave sorrow should you discover that souls have been lost because you have not gone after them as the shepherd leaves the ninety and nine and goes after the one. <17> For you would not want to have on your record one lost soul.

In the beauty of the fireworks of a cosmos, sending signals to all Lightbearers without end, I seal you this day. I wish unto you a holy, prosperous and constructive new year.

In joy, I AM your Gautama.
