PART I
On the planet Venus, which belongs to the same Uni verse as the Earth, but not the same Solar System, great souls have, from time to time, volunteered to forego the glories and happiness of their own planet in order to help in the progress and evolution of the people of Earth. These souls submit to voluntary exile and take embodiment as children of men and women who are learning their lessons as mem bers of the human race.
One of the present restrictions of life on the Earth is that each incoming soul must submit to the voluntary loss of "consecutive consciousness" which is one of the natural faculties of life on the planet Venus. When such a soul em bodies on Earth, it becomes oblivious of its past glory, the inner vision is dulled, the mission blurred, and even the fact of the exile unknown to the outer consciousness. Although the inner bodies glow with a Celestial Fire, it is only by flashes of intuition or a sense of "home-sickness" that such a one is at all aware of a Celestial Planetary Home.
If a person is fortunate in parents, surroundings and circumstances, as he advances spiritually and materially, he may awaken sufficiently to perform some service for the people of Earth and raise the curtain on many possibilities which could provide a more glorious future for Her people. In an Earthly life, the chances are that you would meet very few of this type of person, but when such a contact occurs, one usually feels the stimulation which they give to the Heart Flame to assist It in expanding into greater Light. Thus are they the forerunners of that type of civilization which the Earth shall one day manifest!
The radiation of the planet Venus is a constant out pouring of Love and Beauty. The planet's present service, through its people, is to help the Earth in changing its radiation from a cry of pain to a harmonious and peace ful Song of Praise. The Earth has literally been "saved" by One of the great Rulers of Venus Who came to the Earth together with His retinue of Cosmic Lords and Assistants. This great and wonderful Being is the One Whom we know as the Beloved SANAT KUMARA!
Long centuries ago, the planet Earth came to a point of crisis where it was destined to be dissolved by those Powers of Light in charge of planetary affairs. Due to the coming of "laggard souls" who were given embodiment upon the Earth, the atmosphere, the people, and the planet itself were contaminated to the point where there was no illumination or radiation from the Earth in return for the use of Life. The Harmony and Music of the Spheres were so affected by the discord in the thoughts and feelings of the people, that the Great Solar Lords called a meeting of the Cosmic Council at which it was decided that the Earth should be dissolved and the elemental substance of which it was composed returned to unformed primordial substance to be used in a new and constructive Creation which would manifest God's Will.
It is the Law of Life that, in order to sustain an intel ligent form, there must be a reciprocation to the Universal Source for the investment of Life bestowed upon that form.
However, this decision also created problems of its own, as the dissolution of the Earth would have made "planetary or phans" of the lifestreams associated with the planet - leaving them without a physical planet upon which to com plete their evolution.
As Ruler of the planet Venus, the Beloved Sanat Kumara attended this Cosmic Council, and when He heard the decision of the Council, He offered to come to Earth and release from His own Heart Flame the Light and Love re quired to sustain the planet until Her own people could again learn to pour forth Light and Love to do that for themselves. This was expected to take only a few centuries, but the continued recalcitrance of the people made it ne cessary for the Beloved Sanat Kumara to remain on the Earth as an exile of Love for several million years. It is part of the Cosmic Law that once an individual volunteers for a service, that one cannot be released from that vow until another part of Life is prepared and offers to assume the responsibility of that service. Thus Beloved Sanat Kumara could not be released from the Earth until some other Being, Who was a product of the Earth, was prepared to take His place.
There are no words to express the Love that this Great Being pours forth, or the Patience that He has had to exercise in remaining on this Dark Star century after cen tury. One of the Ascended Ones has said: "Even the Masters Themselves can scarcely comprehend His Love and His Patience as He looked upon the sleeping race - all potential Light Bearers
choosing to slumber on while He gave
of His maximum radiation to keep the Earth, which is their home, in existence
not for a century or two, but for
millions of years. The Earth is a small revolving orb which, in this Galaxy, is not more than a speck of dust whose Light, if snuffed out, would scarcely make a flicker in the radiance of the Solar System. Yet it is the planetary home of ten billion lifestreams who can only find mastery if the Earth is sustained as their cradle."
"Once upon a time in the long, long ago, as you say in your fairy tales, I was invited to attend a Great Council of the Representatives of the Suns of the Galaxy. I was the only Representative from the planet Venus. Ah, Venus, Star of Light - My Home! I can scarcely say Thy Name for the sweet nostalgia that fills My breast at the very thought of Thee!
"At this Council it was decided that the elemental substance which had been held in the matrix of the Earth be released. and as the planet itself did not contribute any Harmony or Light to the Universe, that it be dissolved into its native nothingness.
"Returning to the planet Venus, I thought deeply of the millions of lifestreams who would become planetary orphans if this decree were fulfilled.
"As moments of great import emphasize small things, I can still remember walking out into our garden where Venus, the Beloved of My Heart, was sitting and watching the contour of a cloud and how the Sun kissed it in its passing through the sky. I did not want to reveal My thoughts about volunteering to serve the Earth to My Be loved Venus, and can well remember the sound of the water rising from the heart of the fountain and then falling musically into the lily pool. I can tell you yet how many strands were woven into My sandals as I counted them over and over trying to come to a decision. Finally, Venus, Who of
course, felt My every thought and feeling said: 'Why do you not visit this Earth and see if You feel that You can benefit it by making such a Sacrifice?' Can you realize the relief that welled through Me al Her sweet release? When one loves another more than life itself, great is the sacrifice in giving that one freedom to depart on Cosmic Service knowing the centuries that such a parting will entail.
"And so I came to the Earth, and looking upon the Flame of God containing the Pattern of Perfection for each lifestream, I felt it worth all the Love, Patience and Light required to hasten the day when the Earth and Her evolu tions would manifest the Perfection ordained for them. Upon My return to Venus, I told My Beloved of My decision, and then I informed the Council which was the Governing Body of the State. Every one of Them, without exception, volun teered to go before Me to prepare the Earth for My coming. From this group, thirty blessed ones were chosen, and their names will be dear to My Heart for all Eternity. For almost one thousand long years they labored on the Earth to prepare Shamballa for Our coming.
"Meanwhile, word gets around, even in interstellar space, and from other Stars and Planets and Systems, came Envoys of Light offering to assist Us in Our endeavor. Finally, nine thousand Beings were chosen - three thousand to take human embodiment; three thousand in the Nature and Devic Kingdoms; and three thousand Angels.
"Of the three thousand who were to be the Guardian Spirits for the Earth in human form, one thousand have already ascended into their Freedom. The remaining two thousand are those who were chosen by Beloved Serapis Bey and given the first Grant for their Holy Christ Selves to take command.
"Finally, when the Cosmic Moment had arrived and Shamballa was ready, I prepared to depart from Venus and come to the Earth. The Star which is My Spiritual Insignia rose above the planet Venus and the people were acquainted with the fact that something unusual was about to occur. So I took leave of My Beloved, My Planet, and My people to become a voluntary exile for centuries of time. The tiny points of Light within the hearts of the thirty waiting ones was a welcome sight as We turned Our attention Earthward where I have served these many years."
Of all the blessed ones on Venus who stood before the Universal Lords of Karma and offered to come to the Earth before their Lord, Sanat Kumara, and prepare a Home for Him, thirty lifestreams were accepted as the advance Guard for the great Kumaras. These thirty souls voluntarily chose to accept the limiting karmic restrictions occasioned by birth into the human race - not for a lifetime or two, but for unknown centuries of time. They were then escorted into the upper atmosphere of the Earth to abide within the Octaves of Light under the loving care and hospitality of the Lords of the Second Ray until such time as conditions could be prepared for their first embodiment.
Because of the rapid vibratory action of their beings and such pure and beautiful natures, it was not easy to find parents through whom such lovely spirits could take form. Only the finest lifestreams were chosen by the Builders of Form and invited before the Lords of Karma for examination as to whether or not they could qualify to become the Earth channels for such Cosmic Visitors. Twelve of the children of Earth did so qualify and the details of embodiment, asso ciation, marriage, etc. were set into motion so that the
walling ones might have their first opportunity to step through the veil into the realm of physical form. To each set of parents, five of these souls were born - again repre senting the Hand of God in action - this time preparing for the coming of the Lord of Love.
After the first embodiment, for nine hundred years these blessed ones returned again and again, seeking each other out, and remembering as best they could through the veil which they shared in common with the entire race, their Divine Purpose, Vow and Destiny. Slowly but surely, the City of The Bridge was built out of the primal substance of the Earth. Its choicest marble, its most precious jewels, its purest Gold, the fairest flowers, the most abundant fruit trees, and the greenest shrubbery were gathered from the four corners of the grateful Earth who owed Her suste nance to these Visitors who labored with the Vision of Their coming Lord ever before Their eyes and within the secret chambers of Their hearts.
Many a tide had ebbed and flowed around the rising columns of the Marble Bridge that rose from an azure sea to connect the mainland with the White Island before the final hour of Visitation was upon them. Many outworn bodies had laid gratefully aside, only to enter a new infant form and begin again the Labor of Love before the Lemurian Pole Star, shining in the Heavens, signalled through the clouds of their assumed consciouness that the Hour was upon them. Down through the centuries, each generation had passed on to the succeeding generation the knowledge of the mysteri ous Pole Star which was to signal the moment for which they ceaselessly and selflessly labored. When the Star reached its zenith, all was in readiness, and Beloved Sanat Kumara, with His magnificent Guard of Honor, came to abide upon the Earth.
THE BUILDING OF SHAMBALLA
Think of the selfless Love of these thirty beings from Venus who were willing to leave their own planet where only Happiness, Harmony, Beauty and Perfection were ex pressed, to embody through human bodies and grow up in an atmosphere, environment and radiation of a humanity which had sunk so low that the Cosmic Law had decided to dissolve the planet Earth whereon they dwelt! These people from Venus were willing to make the sacrifice in order that there might be a suitable dwelling place for their Beloved Lord, Sanat Kumara, when He came to the Earth.
The original Shamballa on the planet Venus was and is magnificent beyond all words to describe. There dwell the beautiful Lady Venus, Beloved Sanat Kumara, Their Daughter, Beloved Meta, and the other Kumaras, the Lords of the Flame. From Shamballa They direct all the govern mental and religious activities of Their planet. The thirty who embodied upon the Earth had to imprint upon their consciousness and etheric bodies a picture of that magni ficent City of ShambalJa as it was on Venus. Then, after coming through the denser bodies of the people of Earth, they awoke in infant form, took on a certain heritage of the race, national and family karma, and were also subject to the 'bond of forgetfulness'. As they grew to maturity, they had to draw from their intuitive memories the design of the City that they had once known on Venus.
Drawn together by the bonds of a common interest in one Cause, these people then began the work of finding the right location for the beautiful City which was to be the Home of their Lord. They had to find the material of which it was to be built, and by the labor of their own hands, design and build from the marble and stone the physical counter part of the vision which they held within their minds. It
was not very different from that which our chelas are doing today. There were no clouds of Celestial Glory; no coming and going of Angelic Beings. There was only a vision held within the minds of dedicated people.
In eastern Asia, there now stretches a great desert in the location of that which was once the glorious City of Shamballa. It is now known as the Gobi Desert, which was, at that time, a beautiful inland sea, in the center of which lay a green and shining island which was known as the 'White Island', and upon this island was the ageless City of Shamballa built.
The builders were not always born within the vicinity of the Gobi Sea. Some travelled across seas and continents - drawn by the magnetic pull of what they thought, many times, was just a dream - hoping to find others of like mind and heart. They came together as strangers, of different families, of different races, but became bound to one another by this ephemeral dream. Then joining their ener gies and believing in their vision they commenced their colossal task:
More than once during that period after they had built strong foundations for their Temples, laid with care the wide streets, and planted the small saplings that were to grow into magnificent trees, great hordes of uncivilized and savage members of the human race descended from the hills, killed the inhabitants of the City, and destroyed the beautiful edifices which the people had worked so hard to create. However, as soon as it was possible, they returned again into embodiment and commenced to rebuild accord ing to the former dream and pattern. After working against time, for there was a Cosmic Moment beyond which the Cosmic Law would not allow the Earth any more energy, the City was completed and made ready for the coming of the great Lord of the World, Beloved Sanat Kumara.
THE COMING OF SANAT KOMARA
Now, Nature and man's elect were ready; the final hours of Earth's initiation had begun. The Lemurian Pole Star signified the coming of San at Kumara. As this Great Lord bade goodbye to His people, His Star, and His Beloved Venus, He and three other Kumaras, together with His Court of Angels and Masters, rose into the atmosphere of Venus, while from within the aura of Venus rose the great Star which is Sanat Kumara's Spiritual Insignia. All on Venus knew that any Cosmic Activity was heralded by the pre sence of this Star. Therefore, every heart on Venus was focused upon that Star awaiting its Message of the hour. The great Kumaras and Their Court rose slowly and majes tically as They poured Their Blessings to Their planet, and as the Star then moved outward, these Lords of Love left Venus and journeyed toward the Earth's aura. All on Venus fell upon their knees and a beautiful hymn of Love and Blessing, tinged with the sadness of parting, went forth and enfolded the departing figures in a Mantle of Sacred Love.
As the Kumaras approached the Earth, which was now spinning darkly upon its bended axis, the thirty builders of the City of the White Island knelt in gratitude that he magnificent Temple was ready for the great Lord of the World. As the Kumaras descended in Grace and Dignity, the Three-fold Flame burst forth upon the Sacred Altar, and thus began the long service of Beloved Sanat Kumara, the Lord of the World, in keeping the Spiritual Light alive within the hearts of men. One Kumara ensouled the Powers of the Blue Flame; one the Gold Flame and the other the Pink Flame. As Sanat Kumara stepped into the
Three-fold Flame, it was instantly attached to the "sparks of Light" in the hearts of all lifestreams belonging to the evolutions of the Earth. Thus has Sanat Kumara sustained the identity of everyone belonging to Earth's evolutions.
At the moment when the Kumaras touched the Earth in this mighty event, Their great Aura of Pink Flame blanketed the Earth and suddenly Comfort, Hope and Peace entered the hearts of men; withered flowers raised their heads; the birds sang again; and the children once again laughed and played. What was this mysterious unseen ether that had entered into the very atmosphere of the Earth? Only thirty waiting ones knew - it was the Presence of their Beloved Lord - SANAT KUMARA!
This was the beginning of the Cosmic Thanksgiving on the Earth, for the Flame of Thanksgiving has gone forth rhythmically from Shamballa since the day when the thirty beings knelt before the coming of their Lord in reverent Love and Gratitude. It has builded in power as each lifestream has become aware of the benefits which have poured forth from it constantly. Thus did Beloved Sanat Kumara and His Court come and take up Their abode upon the Earth - not just centuries, but millions of years ago
- and become exiles of Love!
When each one of us, as well as all mankind, are ascended and stand God-free in blazing Light, wearing the Garments of Immortality, it will be because Sanat Kumara believed enough in our Light and Life to do for us what each one should have done for himself countless aeons of time ago. If He had not rendered this Service, Earth's evo lutions would have passed into the "second death" and thus individual consciousness would have ceased to be. THINK UPON THIS! We are paying for our own life in service to Him, the Ascended Masters and Cosmic Beings, and to all mankind. We are paying for our Immortality down through aeons of time that have not yet been unfurled when and where we shall have being because of His Love. Every sunrise we see; every flower that gives to us its perfume; every friend and loved one that warms our hearts; we enjoy because we have Life - that Life which is the Gift of His Patience, His Service, and His Love in sus taining YOUR obligation to Life!
Sa n at Kumara and Those Who came with Him from Venus have been called the Lords of the Flame of Immortality because, in His descent into the Heart of Shamballa, He brought a concentration of the Flame that had never been known before on the Earth because it represented the vi bratory action of Venus. The Flame which was externalized at Shamballa has intensified during the millions of years since His coming to the Earth. It pours out the Keynote of Venus and the vibration of this superior Star into the at mosphere and consciousness of the Earth and its people.
The action of the Flame from Shamballa was designed to create self-conscious generating centers of Light through each lifestream inhabiting the Earth, and as each man, woman and child is a potential Light-Bearer, the sole purpose for Sanat Kumara's Presence upon the Earth has been to develop those Light Centers within everyone be longing to this planet.
CONTEMPLATION PERIOD: Here a few moments should be spent in contemplating the instruction that has been given. Soft music should be played, including the Keynote of Be loved San at Kumara ... "Caprice Viennois" - F. Kreisler ... Beloved Gautama - "Song of India" - Rimsky Korsakov ... Lord Maitreya - "Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life" - V. Herbert.
PART II
THE GREAT WHITE BROTHERHOOD
When the Sun of this System directed the Flame into the Universal Light, and with the Elohimic Builders, created the planets of our chain, certain Beings of a superior order and development volunteered to come and, at the direction of the Parent Sun, become the Guardians and Teachers of the Races which were to develop into God Beings in the course of the Cosmic Day.
As each planet became the focal point for the evolu tion of a portion of the lifestreams drawn for.th by our Sun, these Guardian Beings entered into the atmosphere of the planet presently active, and through the radiation of Their Love, the Power of Their Light, and the Gifts of Their Wisdom, enabled the younger spirits to attain God maturity.
When the Earth became the scene of the greatest activity in our Solar System, these Beings moved into Her Sphere of Influence and formed the spiritual stimulus which became the very atmosphere of the first Golden Age of Perfection, Innocence and Peace.
The effulgence of Their bodies and Their very prox imity to the peoples of these early ages made it an easy process to complete their evolution; but the Cosmic Law required that, as soon as possible, a Spiritual Order be evolved from this child-like race who would be the Teachers and Guardians to their own people, thus enabling the Cosmic exiles to return to the natural sphere of Their own Activity and Light.
It was the Will of God that a Brotherhood be formed from those very l ife st r e a rn s who have so long lived within
•
the radiance and blessing of their elder brothers and sisters from other planetary chains, but for some reason or other, no lifestream who had had its inception through the Earth planet seemed to pick up this vibration, but all lived on in a state happy innocence, completing their round of evolution and gaining the Ascension without contributing, in any manner, to the succeeding races. Then, upon Lemuria and Atlantis, the newly drawn forth spiritual egos de scended further into matter by breaking the Law of Har mony, Beauty and Love. At this time, the Sun of the System was called before the Parent Sun and the Earth was to be written off as an imperfect and useless experiment.
Sanat Kumara and the Beloved Beings on Venus then interceded on behalf of the Earth and its evolving mankind and offered to enter into the orbit of the Earth, its atmos phere, and its people's karma, with the sole purpose and intent of creating from among the human race itself a Governing Council and Directive Body composed of volun tary members of the race who would interest others and increase its membership by the exertion of their own ini tiative. Thus, Sanat Kumara's first service to Live, after His entrance into the Earth's atmosphere, was to set up a skeleton of this Spiritual Order which is known in the world today as the Great White Brotherhood. Of course, there were none of the human race among its members; it was composed entirely of these same Guardian Beings, the Archangels and the De v ic Hosts.
The tremendous impetus of Sanat Kumara's Love and the magnetic pull of His Heart Flame were all that He had to work with in stirring the souls of men and drawing forth, not by force or argument, but by the invisible, and yet resistless, Power of His Love, the sleeping spiritual senses of some members of the race. It was an entirely imper sonal activity in which He engaged for many centuries, and
neither He nor Those Who worked with Him allowed Them selves to designate any particular lifestream as a potential - giving each and every soul equal opportunity to respond.
Eventually, two such lifestreams were found and they applied for membership. One later became the Buddha Lord Gautama (now Lord of the World) and the other became the Cosmic Christ, or World Teacher, Lord Maitreya.
From this small beginning, the Great White Brother hood has grown in strength and numbers through the centuries until almost all of the Cosmic Guardians and Pro tectors have had Their places filled by the dedicated men and women of the human race.
Today, the Great White Brotherhood works on the same premise and with the same powers of Magnetic Love and impersonal Benediction, and the response of the spirit and the soul from within itself is the only passport into active membership.
It is the custom that when a member of the human race becomes a member of the Great White Brotherhood, such a one is invested with a Blessing from Sanat Kumara's own blazing Star of Light. The initiation which takes place unites the consciousness of the outer self with Sanat Kumara's own body for all Eternity. However, this does not take place until, within the heart of the student and disciple, there is created an individual Star which, when exter nalized, signifies to the Brotherhood that such a one is ready to merge his own personal life with that of God's Life in service for the good of the whole.
It brings great Joy and Happiness to Beloved Sanat Kumara to place that Star within each aura as soon as the heart's Light signifies that the individual is ready to accept
V
both this blessing and responsibility to become a Light Bearer vested with the power to change the feeling world of all with whom he comes in contact - not through human will - but through the Power of the Flame that is each one's heartbeat.
The forming of the Great White Brotherhood by Sanat Kumara was prompted by the necessity of re-establishing a conscious communion between the Ascended Master Realm and the outer consciousness of mankind. When the veil of human creation, spun by mankind from their secret thoughts, feelings, spoken words and actions, separated them, IN CONSCIOUSNESS, from their own "I AM" Presence, the Kingdom of the Angels, and the Cosmic and Ascended Beings, truly was mankind in a state of confusion and outer darkness. Thus, the Order was established in an en deavor to reach the minds of the FEW who retained some memory of the real consciousness in which Master, Angel, Elemental and Man walked together toward the fulfillment of God's Divine Plan.
From the time that Lord Gautama and Lord Ma i tr e y a presented Themselves before Sanat Kumara, They went through countless centuries of self-discipline, self- denial and self-mastery in embodiment after embodiment - passing through every experience which the Cosmic Council felt would build into Their souls the strength, love and con stancy required in order that They might fulfill Their Cosmic roles.
Those who represent the Brotherhood in the world of men may take example from its Cosmic Founder and its Members, and in becoming such a magnetic power of Love Divine, they will find drawn to them those whom the Father has called and who will remain, not because of personal allegiance, but because of the affinity of the soul Light with
the Spiritual Essence which is the Brotherhood's Nature in this Universe.
THE RELEASE OF SANAT KUMARA
On New Year's Eve of 1956, after serving for aeons of time upon the Earth, the Beloved Sanat Kumara was given · His freedom to return Lo His own planet, Venus. The actual ceremony of His departure did not take place until later in January of 1956 from both, Shamballa and Lord Michael's Temple of Faith in Banff, Alberta, Canada. The Beloved El
had much to do with releasing the energy required to bring about many changes which enabled Sanat Kumara to be released in addition to the great preparation which Beloved Lord Gautama had made in order to be ready to become the Lord of the World.
It was Beloved El Morya's privilege and honor to present the Scroll to Sanat Kumara which announced His Cosmic Freedom, and this is what Beloved El Morya had to say about this great event in an address which He gave in the Philadelphia Sanctuary on December 31, 1955:
December 31, 1955
"Tonight, the entire assembly of the Great White Brotherhood, drawn to the Royal Teton for this great occa sion, is gathered together in the large Audience Chamber
- all deeply intent upon the Activities about to take place.
"Sanat Kumara, Lord of the World, and Guardian of the planet Earth, now enters. He Who has sustained this planet in its System comes again tonight, in Humility and Grace, to
-J
receive the Thought-form for the Year 1956. He comes forward slowly and majestically. First, He bows low before the Flame on the Altar; then He touches the head of each one of the four Sponsors with His hand and then steps into the Heart of the Flame.
"Even to the outer sight of man tonight, the Royal Teton presents the appearance of a glorious natural cathe dral, with the blazing Light from within playing upon the snow at its cap. As We stand for a moment contemplating the beauty of this great mountain range, let Us consider how wonderful is Nature to create those magnificent spires pointing Heavenward to remind even the most mundane among mankind of the Divine Principle behind all mani fest Life.
"Tonight the Teton is filled with activity. The Mem bers of the Karmic Board have already taken Their places on the magnificent thrones of Chinese jade created for Their use in Love and Gratitude by the Brothers of the Retreat. Around these thrones, a vast amphitheatre in circular form has been erected by the Builders of Form, with seven great tiers of seats in the various colors of the Rays. Here are being seated the individuals among mankind who have been brought, in their inner bodies, by Angelic Beings.
"The Members of the Karmic Board are robed in vary ing shades of the gentle color pink, the Beloved Portia wearing a deep rose tint. As Spokesman for the Board, She is seated in the center - Her throne being raised slightly above the others. Her magnificent robe is banded with a crystalline substance - the long train sweeping around and arranged in deep folds at the front. Upon Her head She wears the seven-pointed Crown, adorned in front with a massive pink diamond. The other Members of the Board wear similar Crowns, the only point of difference being in the size of the central jewel.
"All during this busy evening the various ac u v i u c s and ceremonies attendant upon the termination of the 'old' year and the beginning of the 'new' year have been taking place. And NOW, beloved ones, how shall I put into words the JOYFUL NEWS that it is My pleasure, privilege and honor to impart to you?
OF THE AGES!"
"Th is decision by the Cosmic Law came as a complete surprise to all but a very few of the Celestial Hierarchy and it was My sweet privilege and honor to be invited to present the Scroll announcing His Cosmic Freedom to Him as He stood in deep meditation within the Flame upon the Altar. After its reception, He remained for some time gazing in profound contemplation at the Gift of Freedom within His Hands, while the expression of Joy and Gratitude upon the faces of the entire multitude as they were made aware of its contents through My words of presentation, was beautiful to behold.
"The Lord Buddha, Who has been preparing Himself through long ages for this hour, now advanced slowly toward the Flame, and Sanat Kumara, from His position within It, removed the Crown from His head and placed it gently upon the head of Lord Gautama Who knelt to receive it with His hands reverently crossed upon His breast in an attitude of Humility and Grace.
"Sa na t Kumara then stepped forth from the Flame and, standing by the side of Lord Gautama, blessed and thanked the multitude present and all life for His release, and expressed the desire to remain in Shamballa as Regent until the expiration of the time set by the Cosmic Law for His stay upon the Earth a few years ago. The Lord Gautama will rule as Lord of the World from this night henceforth.
"It was a tremendous and surprising climax to a most eventful evening, and I am sure that every lifestream in that vast assembly was grateful to God for the privilege of witnessing a Cosmic Event unparalleled in all evolutionary history!"
As previously mentioned, after His release from His exile of the ages, Sanat Kumara prepared to return to His own beloved planet, Venus. The following is an account of that great event by Archangel Michael, from Whose Retreat Beloved Sanat Kumara left for Venus on the night of January 21, 1956:
Excerpts from an Address by Beloved Lord Michael January 21, 1956
"It is My great honor and privilege to re-open the doors of My Retreat here in the Western Hemisphere tonight
- and for what purpose? For the great and magnificent
purpose of forming the platform - forming the impetus - forming the actual momentum of energy upon which the Lord of the World shall ascend, in majestic glory and dignity, to His Home on Venus.
"The activity begins tonight at Shamballa. You are, of course, acquainted with Shamballa - its marble Bridge; the beautiful Temples representing the Seven Great Rays; the great central pool in which play the magnificent Flame fountains; and the beautiful Temple of Sanat Kumara over looking the whole.
"From within this Temple, Sanat Kumara has reigned since His coming to Earth many millions of years ago, and from within this Temple He has sent forth every Messenger of Light who has ever carried the Message of God and the Example of the Nature of God to man. This Temple is filled with memories for each of you and for each of Us as We look upon it tonight.
"Over this Temple have always flown the Crest, the Banner, and the Standard of Sanat Ku m ara which is, of course, the planet Venus surrounded with the laurel wreath on a deep purple field. Tonight, when the Standard is lowered for the first time since His coming, the Standard of Lord Gautama will be raised - the two activities taking place almost simultaneously. When the Purple Banner of San at Kumara comes down, the golden Banner of Lord Gautama showing the planet Earth surrounded with the colors of the Causal Body - on a gold field - will take its place above the Temple.
"Now let us go back for a moment and see the activity as it took place. The Standard of Sanat Kumara is still waving over the Temple. Now, as all eyes are focused upon it, it comes slowly down, and as it does so, every Standard is dipped in recognition, love and gratitude for the Service it repre sents. Then, almost within the same action, the gold Standard of Lord Gautama ascends where it now waves, in undulating folds of bright color, upon the soft breeze. It is a most solemn moment; in a way, a nostalgic moment, for it portends change, not only for the Celestial Hierarchy dedi cated to the welfare of the planet, but for the people evolving upon it as well.
"The final ceremony of the transition of power from Sanat Ku m ara to Lord Gautama, as well as Sanat Kumara's departure for Venus, takes place at My Retreat in the Western Hemisphere which, in itself, has a real significance. Those of Us Who are privileged to witness it will never forget the solemnity of this great occasion.
"The two great Hierarchs approach one another from either side of the great Altar, ascend the steps together, and stand facing one another - Their Causal Bodies blazing out like great fans (identical in size) in all the glorious colors of the Rays. Now, They approach one other until They meet within the Flame on the Altar where They become ONE, at which moment there is a tremendous flash of Light followed by an expansion of the Flame which passes through the entire atmosphere of the Earth. At that precise moment, the Causal Body of Sanat Kumara is withdrawn from the body of Earth, while that of Lord Gautama enfolds it in Its embrace. The Causal Body of Sanat Kumara becomes the aureole en compassing Him and His entourage on the journey to Venus.
"The transition to His own beloved Star for Sanat Kumara and Those who accompanied Him was accomplished in a beautiful chariot fashioned out of etheric substance by the visualizing process of chelas on the Earth plane who were aware that this transition would take place within a specified period of time. The actual journey was accomplished, of course, with the speed of Light, and almost immediately, They had arrived within the orbit of Venus. In the mean time, the Lady Venus had come out to meet Her Lord. She was accompanied by Her retinue, and as the two companies approached one another, Sanat Kumara descended from His chariot and went forward alone to meet His Queen.
"Beloved Lady Master Venus, and all Her people have prepared, for His reception, the magnificent original Tem ple of Shamballa, which was duplicated here on Earth for Him. The great Kumaras, the Angelic Host, the Priests and Priestesses, and the people themselves are all in a festive
mood and in a stale of great spiritual expectancy for His coming. ·It will be an event of exact Cosmic Moment and He will appear before them as He disappeared so many eons ago. Before leaving My Retreat, Sanat Kumara spoke to the Great White Brotherhood and lo the conscious initiates and ch elas."
"Beloved and Blessed Spiritual Hierarchy, You Who have answered My Heart Call and formed the Great White Brotherhood; You Who have lived and died and lived again, age after age and era after era, in order to forward the Cause of God upon the planet Earth; to You, tonight, I give My Heart and My Hand. As there is no separation in Love, I shall be as close to You as You desire to have Me. I would no more think of permanently leaving You - the Elohim, the Archangels, the Brotherhood, and the sweet struggling chelas without the Comfort and solace of My Presence, My Strength, and My Momentum, than I would think of leaving My God. We are as much ONE in this present Cosmic tran sition as We have ever been!
"To You, Beloved Gautama, Whose great Light and expansion of Consciousness have made it possible for Me to again become part of the evolution of Venus - to You, My Brother, I give My Heart's Love!
"To each and every One Who has answered the call of the Beloved El Morya; Who has believed that there was the capacity and the ability within the human heart to co operate with God-free Beings in removing the shackles of limitation and the shadows that have enshrouded the souls of men - to You I give My Love!
"To the beloved chelas I say, think you that I could forget the dear Earth when so much of My Life, so much of My very Self is woven into the substance of her people, her elements, her oceans and her continents? Ah, no! Glad I am to have Her purified form ever before My sight!
"I accept with pleasure the gifts that you so kindly offer Me - the rings and the Crowns for Myself and My Beloved - which you have woven out of your own thought substance. This night, as I enter into the orbit of My own Star and speak to My people face to face for the first time since My departure, I shall tell them of a race brave beyond words to describe; of a race which has believed in God despite every kind of mental, emotional and physical agony; and My people shall be richer by reason of the example of a handful of brave chelas scattered over the face of the Earth, of that of its yet unawakened humanity as a whole, and the other striving evolutions upon it.
"So - sweet Earth, sweet Virgo, Beloved Neptune, Be loved Aries, Beloved Amaryllis - all that is within the planet and upon it - thank You for the opportunity of serving!
"There is no time in loving Service. Thank you, beloved Earth, for your hospitality, and for the privilege of holding you within My bosom. Thank you for permitting Me to share in your redemption., Thank you for letting Me share your Victory. Thank you for being such a marvelous Hostess, not only to Myself, but to My Kumaras and the other evo lutions who came here from Venus. Thank you for attempt ing to understand My Presence and for accepting the Pa tience which is My Gift to give. Thank You, Beloved Michael, for having preserved the Flame of Faith upon which Earth's Freedom is assured. God be with you until I return!"
Note: As a result of this great event, there will be a three fold activity of the Holy Triumvirate within the Governing
as the Lord of the World, Beloved Sanat Kumara as the Regent and Counsellor, and Lord Maitreya Who will act as the Head and Heart of the Brotherhood in all ceremonial service.
OFFICES OF THE SPIRITUAL HIERARCHY
Holding the Divine Blueprint to which all Beings serving for the externalization of Perfection upon the Earth have access, is the great Cosmic Being known as the Silent Watcher, Beloved Immaculata.
all activities of the Hierarchy, and is the actual Dispenser of the Works and Powers of the Godhead. He serves closely with the Lords of Karma, the World Teacher, or Cosmic Christ. This Office is now held by Beloved Lord Gautama Whose Light and Aura were sufficiently expanded for Him to assume this Office on New Year's Eve of 1956 and thus release the Beloved Sanat Kumara from His voluntary exile upon the planet Earth.
In His last embodiment, Lord Gautama was the son of a Ruler in India whose love for his son was so great that he would not allow Gautama to look upon sordidness of any kind. However, in later years, after witnessing the distress ing conditions which prevailed in the world, Lord Gautama left His home, His wealth and His family to search for an explanation of these things.
After seven long years of searching which included an "inner journey" to the Heart of God, He finally attained Illumination. Even though He could have remained in the glorious Spheres of Light at that time, His Love for all life was so great that He returned again to the mundane activities of daily living, but was determined to give forth the instruction and understanding that He had received in His great Illumination.
Upon His Ascension, Lord Gautama assumed the Office of Lord Buddha which He held until His elevation to Lord of the World on New Year's Eve of 1956.
The Service of LORD BUDDHA is to embody the Love of God and sustain the Spiritual Fire in the souls of mankind while they arc in the environment upon the Earth where they are required to develop and mature. The Buddha actually steps down the Nature and Vibration of the Kingdom of Heaven in order that the soul is not completely exiled while upon the Earth. This Office is now held by Beloved Lord Maitreya.
The WORLD TEACHER, or COSMIC CHRIST, serves
under the Lord of the World and endeavors to develop the conscious minds of the people of Earth by connecting the radiation of the Buddha with the Earth's evolution. He is the Being Who brings forth every World Religion and usually services for a period of about 14,000 years. It is His service to teach all who carry the World of God to men, and to stimulate the Spiritual Centers within the seven distinct and different types of mankind. This Office, held by Lord Maitreya, is administered jointly by the Beloved Ascended Masters Jesus and Kuth u m i , Who were elevated to this great Office when Lord Gautama became Lord of the World and Lord Ma i t re y a was raised to the Office of the Buddha.
"I bring to you the feeling and substance of Peace which has been My atmosphere for aeons of time. If you will accept it, that Peace shall become for you a permanent part of your world.
"I taught in India many hundreds of years ago. Now nearly all of India chooses to recognize and honor My Teachings although, 2500 years ago, only a few dusty monks and many curious passers-by were interested. I know what it is to have walked the Earth - seeing human distress - and because of that, by deliberate conscious en deavor, I pierced through every one of the Seven Spheres of Higher Consciousness to find the Holy Truth of Life - obedience to the Laws of which would not only alleviate, but completely remove and prevent, the recurrence of such distress in the future. Having achieved My goal; having found that Truth, I then renounced My God-given right to stay there and voluntarily returned to Earth to resuscitate an almost totally incapacitated body which had been ne glected during all those years. Now, after 2500 years, there are many Shrines builded bearing the Name of Buddhists.
"As Lord of the World, it makes Me very humble, very grateful, and desirous of expanding more and more Divine Love until all your endeavors are crowned with God-Success. Perhaps I shall not be a spectacular Lord of the World, but I shall be a loving One ! My personal Ray is anchored within each one of your hearts - carrying My Love to you, for you are the hope of the Hierarchy as well as of the Earth and Her people!"
CONTEMPLATION PERIOD
Here a few minutes should be spent in contemplation to quiet music and the foregoing words ... see previous con templative period for suggested music selections.
PART III
The Christ Self of every lifestream belonging to this planet was created by the Father-Mother God long before the personal self came into physical embodiment. This beau tiful Christ Self desires, through the personal self, to com plete Its glorious Pattern and Plan in the world of form, thus fulfilling the Edict of the Eternal Father and rendering a particular service which adds to the glory of the Divine Pattern and Plan of the Universe. Until each Christ Self is enabled to fulfill Itself, the full Perfection of the Cosmic Divine Plan is not manifest because no other Christ Self can render the particular service to another.
Through the unhappy use of free will, the Christ Selves of the majority of this evolution have been denied fulfillment and yet have sustained the personality with the hope that some day enough Grace would enter the heart and consciousness of the outer self so that it would co-operate in manifesting its reason for being and justify the expenditure of the energies of God, the Nature Kingdom, the Angelic and the Elemental Kingdoms which have sustained Life in each personality for aeons of time. However, the Cosmic Law has finally taken a hand and refuses to allow further ex penditure of the pure energies of God, Angels, Masters and Elementals, to sustain the foolishness of the human person-
al ity . Thus, in 1952, a Cosmic Edict went forth that within the next twenty-year period, the Christ Selves of all mankind would have to connect with Their outer selves and serve Their Cosmic Purpose, or descend with the personality to the Solar System below the one upon which They are presently evolving, and there endeavor to complete Their service to God and man. These Divine Selves desire to complete Their service in the evolution to which They belong, and for that reason the Dispensation was given whereby human. free will might be set aside and the Christ Self surge through the outer personality and compel the Divine Plan fulfilled.
Until recently, Lord Ma it r e y a represented the Father of Life to all the Christ Selves of unascended mankind and through His momentum and Power, the Individual Christ Self is enabled to draw closer to the outer self. The following is an address by the Beloved Holy AEolus, given when He held the Office of Maha Chohan, describing a service which Beloved Lord Maitreya rendered to all mankind at a Transmission of the Breath Ceremony, not so long ago.
BELOVED HOLY AEOLUS SPEAKS:
"The Christ of every member of this evolution, in cluding those not in embodiment at the time, and all in the astral and psychic realms, were present for the service which Lord Divino gave. Over the entire continent of Asia, these beautiful White Fire Beings stood canopying the sky with the blazing Light of Their Presence. The most exquisite music fiJled the atmosphere. Beloved Sanat Kumara and Lord Gautama were the Guests of Honor and sat upon marble thrones facing the Brotherhood.
"The Christ Selves of the entire race gathered in a great shining white spiral of Living Beings over the hillside and Lord Maitreya stepped into the center of this spiral which stretched in to the atmosphere of the Earth for over 10,000 feet. He wore pure snow-white garments and His only adornment was a lei of white flowers around His neck.
"The Light of Lord Maitreya's Presence is so exquisite that one is always drawn toward that Presence just to bathe · in the substance of His Love Divine. His hair shone with the radiance of the Godhead and His beautiful violet eyes were filled with the warmth and Love which are His Nature. A snow-white Dove perched upon His shoulder and two lovely Angels, also in pure white, walked behind Him carrying a long white staff from whence blossomed the Mystic Flower of S hamballa.
"We all stood as He entered the circle composed of the Christ Selves of the entire human race. Even Sanat Kumara and Lord Gautama inclined Their heads toward Him in honor of His Service and Office as the Cosmic Christ.
"As the moment for the first Breath approached; a pure white Flame arose around His figure and He disap peared within It. The Flame Itself rose from the Earth in a
surrounding It. At a given moment, a burst of music con taining Lord Maitreya's Keynote sounded from within the Flame and We all breathed It in, blessed It, and sent It forth on Its journey around the world.
"Simultaneously, the Christ Selves of the race spread out and took Their positions above the physical bodies into which Their Flames have been anchored through the centu ries, and Lord Ma i t r e y a again appeared from within the Vestments of the Flame - shining like the Sun. With each Breath, the Christ Selves drew the Flame of His Cosmic Christ Power into Their own Hearts and then, individually, directed
It down through the outer self.
This personalized the
outpouring - each Christ Self giving full attention to the outer self which is Its own responsibility. This was the first release of the Cosmic Christ Power through the personal selves of every member of the human race to take place upon this planet. No lifestream belonging to the Earth's evo lutions was excluded from this service.
"After the Flame had circled the Earth for fifteen minutes, I entered the Central Focus of the Flame, and standing with Lord Maitreya, called forth the Messengers of My Office. Suddenly, there appeared countless millions of white Doves, each of which flew forth with My blessing and entered the aura of the Christ Self of every lifestream, thus duplicating the service rendered to the Master Jesus when He was baptized by John the Baptist under Lord Divino's Blessed Presence two thousand years ago.
"At the close of this part of the Ceremony, the Celestial Choir began the great Cosmic Songs of Praise to the Heart of Creation; then the Brotherhood and Guests took up the song and all felt and abided in the Heart of Peace. This service was rendered nightly for thirty days at this time to give the impetus so needed to mankind. May every student feel the Presence of Their Christ Self and the Holy Dove of Peace!"
SHAMBALLA: HOME OF THE SPIRITUAL HIERARCHY
SHAMBALLA, Thou great Spiritual Center of the Illu minati of all ages, we bow before Thy Presence and approach Thy Sacred Orbit and radiant Aura in humble Gratitude for the privilege of knowing that Thou art! Because Thou art, our planet IS today! From the Holy Heart of Thy Sacred Halls have come forth ALL of the Messengers Who have brought Light to the children of men, and within Thy Holy of Holies dwelt Our Lord and King and Saviour of this sweet Earth, Beloved Sanat Kumara, the Ancient of Days!
During the centuries which followed the building of the beautiful City of Shamballa on the White Island in the inland sea of Eastern Asia, great cataclysmic activity made . many changes in the Earth's surface. One of these upheavals caused the destruction of the physical city and the inland sea eventually became a desert which we know today as the Gobi Desert. Upon the destruction of the physical Shamballa, it was removed in its entirety into the Etheric Realm over that location where it continued to be the Home of the great Spiritual Hierarchy of the planet Earth.
The Etheric Focus of Shamballa remained in this lo cation until November 26, 1964 when it was transferred in its entirety to a location above the physical Central Focus of the Spiritual Hierarchy established on Long Island, New York, by the chelas of the Bridge to Spiritual Freedom under the guidance of the Hierarchy.
An address by BELOVED KUTHUMI
The following is a description of the ceremonials which took place on that momentous occasion as given by the Beloved Ascended Master Kuthumi:
"Hallowed be the Name of the Cosmic "I AM" Presence through Whose Love and Graciousness I am per mitted this day to fill the role of Cosmic Narrator for the activities which took place on Long Island when the Cosmic Permanent Ray at Shamballa was anchored into the Earth substance.
"Since the fifteenth of this month, tremendous prepa-
rations have been made at Inner Levels so that the Etheric Temple would be in magnificent readiness for the anchorage of the Flame and Ray of Shamballa into the substance of the Earth where it shall be constantly energized and expanded by the Hierarchy until a visible Replica shall be manifest on this land.
"There was a great amphitheatre over this locality filled with the Angelic Host. The Celestial Music which emanated from Their Beings was of the most exquisite blend ing of tones - unheard of in the atmosphere of this planet since the appearance of human creation.
"As One looked further, it could be seen that every Silent Watcher, through emanation of Light, was partici pating, and the Angelic Host had taken up Their stations for every nation on this Earth so that They could assist in tying the energies of the chelas who were tuning in to this Cosmic Event.
"For this specific occasion, a special Throne-Altar, built in tiers in semi-circular form, has been erected around the Holy of Holies. The Sacred Cosmic Immortal Victorious Three-fold Flame for this planet is held within a Golden Brazier which rests upon an alabaster pedestal through which flows a vein of golden essence.
"One hears a magnificent Symphony as the assembled Guests rise and Beloved Helios and Vesta take Their places in the Throne section of the Temple - next to the highest tier. Following in glorious precessional, preceded by a Se raphic Guard, is the Lord of the World, Gautama, simply attired in white garments with a golden band at the hem, sleeve, and neckline. Following are Beloved Sanat Kumara and Lord Maitreya, both dressed in white and gold similar to Lord Gautama.
"We now see the regal Saint Germain in all the dignity of His Being and Office, accompanied by His Lady Portia, ascend to Their places in the Throne section. Beloved Jesus and beautiful Mother Mary follow and proceed to Their places where it was My great privilege to have a chair reserved for My humble Self.
"We now witness the electrifying Presence of Be- loved El Mory a, then Lord Lan to, Sera pis Bey, Hi l ar io n , Lady Nada, and Beloved Kwan Yin Who is representing the Seventh Ray and Beloved Saint Germain's place.
"A tremendous, almost hushed, Reverence is now experienced. However, the overtones of the Angelic Choir and Symphony can be heard as all heads arc bowed and everyone rises at the signal that Beloved Alpha and Omega are about to enter the Temple. In a burst of the most trium phant music, Beloved Alpha and Omega proceed down the aisle to the semi-circle and then ascend to the uppermost tier.
"All is in readiness for the induction Ceremonies and the Cosmic Keynote embodied in 'At Dawning' and 'Homing' is heard - signifying that Beloved AEolus is present. He approaches the Altar followed by Beloved Paul and Lady Rowena. An Attendant from the Court of Helios and Vesta removes the green and gold cape which the Beloved Maha Chohan wears, and a vestment emblazoned with a beautiful Dove is placed upon His shoulders. The Mighty Vesta raises Her hand in the Authority which is Hers and vests the Beloved AEolus with the rite of the Office of the Cosmic Holy Spirit for the planets under the direction of Helios and Vesta.
"The cape of green and gold is now placed upon the shoulders of Beloved Paul, and Beloved Vesta, with the proper Invocation, raises Him to the Office of Maha Chohan, Re presentative of the Holy Spirit for the planet Earth.
"The pink cape which was formerly worn by Beloved Paul is now placed upon the shoulders of Lady Rowena, and as Beloved Vesta raises Her hand and makes the pronounce ment, Lady Rowena becomes Chohan of the Third Ray.
"At this time, there is a slight interim of deep Silence - just pulsating Light of great intensity. We hear the melodious tone of a gong and an intonation is given by the Mighty Alpha, and as He and Beloved Omega blaze the Light from Their Hearts into the Being of Lord Gautama, the entire Temple is filled with an intensified Light wherein the Assembly is blended into ONE GREAT LIGHT, and We each thrill to the tremendous pulsation of the Flame and Ray of Holy Shamballa flowing from Alpha and Omega, Beloved AEolus and Lord Gautama into the Flame before the Altar, and then into the physical substance of the Earth. Thus, the Sacred Focus of the Great White Brotherhood is officially established in Its New and Permanent location, etherically and physically, on Long Island.
"Suffice it is to say that the Sacred Three-fold Flame transferred from the Gobi Desert to the Altar of Shamballa over Long Island is of tremendous expanded proportions as this activity takes place. The Silence, Gratitude and Pure Di vine Love is of the greatest magnitude, and truly is the Earth blessed beyond comprehension as the Spiritual Hierar chy now has a Focus upon the Earth-plane from whence instructions and blessings heretofore unheard of shall emanate - for the he t t e rm e n t of the planet and all Her evolutions."
