Our relation has been close for many lives and is particularly close today. Unknown perhaps to you, I have guarded and shielded you from many unhappy world impacts, for you are sensitive in nature and frail in body and are already handling as much of the world's misery and suspense as you can and perhaps more than is good for you - physically and emotionally. You are like so many disciples upon the second ray who are in training for future world salvaging. Like our Great Master, the Christ, you must and do shoulder your share of the world [439] suffering, thereby forming one of the great group of his companions who are pledged to the "fellowship of his sufferings and his patience," as he is pledged to his great Master, the Lord of Shamballa. He, as you know, will not leave his post until the "last weary pilgrim has found his way home." You see, therefore, do you not, the true significance of the three keywords which I gave you when you entered this group - endless patience, with yourself, with others and with erring humanity; dynamic thought, giving you power and usefulness upon the mental plane and teaching you to work there as does the Christ, as does K. H. and all who are serving in connection with the Hierarchy; wisdom, enabling you to reap the fruitage of many lives, spent in acquiring spiritual knowledge.

I want, my brother, to give you a visualization exercise which may help you somewhat. Breathing exercises are not advisable in your case nor are they particularly necessary. I would ask you for a few minutes each morning (prior to doing the group meditation) to rest quietly back in your chair or bed and, closing your eyes, link up with your soul and with me, your friend. You will thus create a triangle of light between your soul, your head center and myself. Fix and hold this triangle firmly in your consciousness through the power of the creative imagination. Then see it next as a solid triangle of light and not just as an outline. The base of the triangle is on the [440] mental plane where I work and where dwells and works your soul; the lower point or apex touches the top of your head. Then see, pouring down, via the triangle, a stream of light, golden in color and not white. It is more light orange than white. See this flooding your whole body. When you have visualized this as perfectly as possible, then rest back in that light and bathe in it as you would bathe in the waters of the sea. See it permeating every part of your physical equipment and let it do its work without your having any definite ideas as to what should be accomplished. The rest of the activity is in my hands and you can safely leave it to me. This exercise will aid you in handling your life problem and your service, until such time as you enter into that light wherein consciousness awakens, free from the bonds of flesh. But that time is not immediate.

The blessing of your co-disciples is upon you and yours on them.
