The Shamballa Letter

Dear Chelas,

In an earlier letter, I promised to discuss the subtle forces of thought and feeling and their action within your lives. 

All expressions of life-energy, whether of thought, feeling, or of physical expression, are creative, and are therefore "action". The use of words, for instance, is physical action, but it forms the "bridge" over which the expression of thought and feeling may flow into the world of form. 

A thought may be either originated by a lifestream, or "received" from a source outside of itself. This is true also of feelings. So often, when a thought seems to just "appear" in your mind, it is of the projected type. Ideas and feelings are life energy, and it is most important that our chelas realize that they must use firm spiritual discernment to choose which ideas they care to nourish, support, and bring into manifest form of some kind. Note that I say "firm". You must never permit thought or feeling of a negative variety to become a part of your expression world, for you do have this choice. 

Feelings are even more likely than thoughts to attempt to be a ruling force in your lives. It's relatively easy to transmute a thought, especially if you find it distasteful in some way. A feeling, however, can get a grip on your emotional body wherever you are the most vulnerable, so be sure to take charge of any fear or other negative feeling that may enter your consciousness, transmuting it into Light immediately. However, there is one caution I will make concerning the transmuting of negative feelings. If you find yourself reacting with a specific negative emotion frequently, you must ask to have the "cause and core" transmuted, so that complete healing may take place. Take care not to suppress, or deny, a repeated feeling which you do not like, for God never condemns negativity in your nature, but only heals.

Beloved Saint Germain has taught that the chelas should not transmute negative feelings or manifestations only to ease the immediate discomfort, unless they first ask that the "cause and core" be revealed for transmutation, so that complete healing may take place. Otherwise, such feelings - and their accompanying outer manifestations of discomfort or disease - tend to recur. 

Remember, I asked that you discover your weaknesses, so that they might be healed. Your emotional vehicle is the primary "tool" through which this discovery will take place, and you must face such weaknesses with courage, being thorough in your search. Know that you do not walk alone, but with the Masters of Light, who love you! 

You may always ask for our assistance, for the transmuting of negativity in your personal and collective worlds is not an easy matter, and we who have walked the Path before you realize this, and will always help you. 

Never mind if this advice comes around once in a while, for it is sorely needed. Unless complete transmutation of all returning energy takes place, you cannot be the full expression of the Holy Christ Selves that you came to be, and that expression of Divinity is worth all effort required! 

I will write about Healing Petitions next, as this will be very helpful to you in coming to your complete healing, and in assisting the beloved Earth, as well. 

Rest in my Love, dear Friends, and thank you for your devotion to the Light of God in your lives and worlds!

Your Friend of Light, John
