[David: A week from tomorrow we begin a new chapter of Meru University with a class on community. One of the texts will be the New Era Community published by the Agni Yoga Society, also available online.

            Elizabeth Clare Prophet gave a teaching from this book that was published in another book called Community. The Maha Chohan will be teaching on community from this book and Zara Lasater Cohen will be sharing much on community. Zara has done work in community building. Celeste will be providing a syllabus. Shortly information for registration will be on the web.

            I consider this class important for the next cycle of our growth in this movement and the work we are about. The Maha Chohan will share more about this now.]

 

 

            For balance within you and within the earth, there must be established within you the harmonization of love, wisdom and power. And for those who understand the dynamic of their Buddha Nature, the balance of the Buddha, the dharma and the sangha provide an opportunity for great growth in spirituality and in solar awareness. The Buddha comes and speaks. And he speaks to you most effectively through your own Buddha Nature. For you are the Buddha in becoming, are you not?

            What does the Buddha speak? He speaks of the teaching of the sacred dharma. And within the context of community this teaching is shared. This community may be a community of one or two or three or of vast numbers of mankind, for the Buddha speaks within all who are listening. A sacred teaching through the Agni Yoga Society has been brought forth that I will comment upon and highlight for you during this Meru University class. It is essential that those who would live within the sacred sangha understand the dynamic of what comes to play when you live in close proximity with others. You worship, you study, you work in this balanced threefold flame action of an intentional spiritual community in the making whose purpose is to sustain the light of the Buddha and the outpicturing of that teaching in practical spirituality in daily life for the benefit of sentient beings, for the glorification of the Divine within all life and for the natural enfoldment of life as it may be upon this solar sphere to be.

            When those who understand the inner mysteries merge their heartstreams to sit at the feet of any divine one, there is the sacred flow of light transferred through the darshan experience, through the emanation of that Solar Presence unto all. And those who are conscious may receive the impartation of the divine pulsations of the Spirit accessed through their own Buddha Nature, their attunement with their Source, the openness of their heart and mind and thereby receive the new creative fires of the Spirit that are constantly being released from the hub, stepped down through all solar and divine beings who witness to that great light of the I AM THAT I AM.

            Your own Buddha Nature is the key to your divinity. And when you tap into that great light by living within the confluence of the eternal river of the Spirit even as you receive the wisdom teaching form our realms, then your purpose becomes highlighted within your life. Your understanding unfolds, your compassion grows and then balance is maintained—body, mind and spirit.

            Dearest ones, we always seek to convey something of your own noble nature as Buddhi ones through that which emerges from within you. And when you can access your true nature by being present in and during our offerings, then the golden Buddhic light of your own prismatic Presence shines forth and your solar essence expands allowing the sun-consciousness to fully appear where you are whereby your eternal freedom and enlightenment is secured fully and finally.

            You are ascending ones. And that ascent occurs moment by moment through Presence-awareness and conscious participation in the divine life that is all about and around and in you. We come to accentuate that divine glory within and to assist you in that sacred emergence of your true nature day by day. When you enter into the spirit of community, as you know, there is the collective amplification of light by the star of your own Presence magnified by the radiance of all others who participate communally with you in your sacred endeavors, your study and all that you do.

As the sangha grows the light grows. As the light grows, the teaching may expand to reach greater numbers of mankind. If a certain quota of those who have set forth their intention to maintain this level of solar beingness attend these classes sponsored by the Brotherhood and overshadowed by great cosmic beings work together, then there can be not only the transfer to greater numbers of mankind of the wisdom teaching but the holding in abeyance of a greater portion of mankind’s collective karma and the seeding of the earth with the crystal light of Aquarian love-wisdom whereby Maitreya may come beautifully, walking the earth again in his great golden robes and a new age appear first within the heart-mind connection of all mankind and then physically within the earth body.

            We have set forth our intention to build these communities of the Spirit through Hearts Centers worldwide. And it is time, blessed ones, that these be established not only virtually through your prayer services but physically by the joining of heart, head and hand by many of you. What these communities will look like you will decide. Where they will appear is your choice though we have given through this messenger an outline of the possibilities for you.

            Your security is only assured within your own God Presence for there God is. But the security may be maintained more easilyfor many of you within the sacred sanctuaries of spiritual communities intentionally created, developed and sustained by the guarding and guardian action of the light of the Brotherhood whereby the circle of fire of protection is there for you. It is a harmonic matrix of quintessential light that keys all within that circle unto higher purpose, nobleness of being and a certain surrender of the lesser self toward the mission and vision of the whole.

            Community is never established for the purpose of stripping from you any of your essential beingness, your talents, your own spiritual gifts but is there for the accentuation of that who you are to be ennobled within the community, to be brought forth and fully emerge toward the benefit of all. And yet there may be a certain subservience to the greater mission whereby certain of your own lesser inklings and desires are laid upon the central altar of light for the collective good of all mankind.

            Look at the life of the adepts and see how each one was truly a maverick of the Spirit and yet listened to the voice of the Divine and often through a great striving and a selflessness sustained the great God Beingness that won that ascension in service to humanity. What you can offer to others proves that which you have attained to. And therefore if you would have greater access to your own divine Buddha Nature, then consider service within a circle of community within a Hearts Center, a Heartfriends Group, study group or in some way participating proactively such that the true you may shine forth and the completeness of that which has evolved through your awareness over many lifetimes may come to full fruition.

            Yes, there is the rubbing of the rough edges of the not selfhood that at times also comes forth through your interactivity, your communication and the close proximity of your work together. But is this not for the purpose of your solar edification of the greater evolving of your spirit whereby those rough edges are no more and the glory of who you truly are is fulfilled within the sacred sangha.

            Community should never be an escape from your own striving and the perfectionment of the heart. So for those who would seek to benefit from a community without laying upon the altar their talents, their gifts, their supply and their work, it were better to secure through work on their psychology a certain stabilization and balance within their being before entering into the sacred sangha.

Kuthumi has asked for divine moral principles and precepts and guidelines to be established, and I remind you of this directive. For, blessed ones, it may be sooner than you know that many of you are called from within your own heart to move and to create these communities. And if there is not the foundation fully established whereby you may live in harmony through an understanding of basic guidelines of the Spirit that will provide safety for you on your spiritual path as well as a divine groove through which you may move into higher consciousness, then you may not have fully all prepared for the coming of greater numbers of those who could support and assist you in sustaining your Hearts Centers and intentional communities.

            Therefore we suggest, as an assignment to all participating in this next class of Meru University as an outcome and a goal, the emerging of these guidelines not as constraints to your own Buddhic path but as that which will assist you in days to come toward the fulfillment of both your personal and the collective mission that you see before you.

            Some seek only individuality outside of the circle of God Beingness. But one day, if you desire your immortality, you must merge with the great stream of divine being of the collective spirit of the Brotherhood. And therefore it is good for you and better for you to prepare even now for this sacred tryst by studying with me and with our teachers the dynamic of how greater, clearer and more effective communities may be established through constant communication, through God-self mastery and through a greater awareness that will come as all partake within the whole of the offering from the Buddha of the dharma within the sangha.

            We will continue to guide and offer our assistance, our direction and aid through this dispensation, through the messengers. And where questions arise or conflicts may occur, our word of comfort will be with you. So take to heart our offer, each and every one within The Hearts Center Community to participate in this class. Secure your desk within the classroom of the Spirit. For I will be there to offer my heart, even as I hold the field of perfect presence for each and every one of you to come into the unity of divine selfhood in God. I thank you.
