The Mystery Of The Gobi - Part IV

Shamballa

[QUOTING]

In the middle of the immense, virgin desert of the Gobi is the mysterious oasis. This Holy Land, in which no profane human foot has ever trod, is called among other things: Shamballa, "the City of the Gods".

Shamballa is the centre of the action-field of the Universal Brotherhood insofar as it is active in this dualistic nature-order. Shamballa is the power-field of the divine helpers; a power-field not to be explained from this nature-order and not maintaining any link with the material-sphere or the reflection-sphere, but nevertheless present in this earthly nature as a help to us all.

The function of Shamballa can be compared to that of a transformer. The universal life-substance and the universal intervention of the Logos are transformed in Shamballa, "the City of the Gods", into a tension which the world and mankind can endure. Shamballa is a field of contact from which suggestions, vibrations and radiations emanate, flowing horizontally all over the world. Shamballa is an immanent touch of a transcendental reality.

It is also from the City of the Gods that bonafide messengers go out to lost humanity, messengers who, under a variety of names, carry out their work wherever it is necessary. Shamballa is the gate to the Original Life, the only and absolute Gate to Liberation. Shamballa is the Key to the new, sparkling life.

It sounds strange to many people to hear of a universal point of contact that can be geographically located. But is it stranger than expecting one's salvation in the reflection-sphere, the domain of the dead, of entities who have lost the greater part of their vehicles and who will consequently have no choice but to restore their mutilation by reincarnation?

Is it stranger than to cling for the protection of one's soul to some church institution which distinguishes itself from what is earthly and dualistic only insofar as its representatives speak a language that in no way accords with their own reality? Is it stranger and less logical than imagining or hearing in the abstract of a God who exists and is enthroned in unreality?

On the contrary, it is stranger that not more people who are metaphysically and spiritually sensitive have discovered that they are lost in the greatest mystifications.

Without exaggeration, one can say that man's entire metaphysical and spiritual life has become stuck in the grip of the reflection-sphere. Everything and everyone asks the dead, belongs to the dead, and lives and strives out of the dead.

The consequence is a general sickening of mankind, a swift march downhill, tumbling into a pool of lies, slander and treachery, a disappearance of moral norms. and a startlingly rapid increase in blood and nervous diseases. Such is the result for mankind of taking a course that deviates from the way, the truth and the life.

When you make your way towards the focus of the universal mysteries, you do not develop some sort of delirium, manifesting itself in speech or writing, and there is no question of over-shadowing and the resulting theft of nerve-fluid, for then you live and exist out of power. In his first epistle to the Corinthians, Paul rightly observes that "The Kingdom of God consists not in words, but in power".

That is the signature of Shamballa; when a pupil of the modern Spiritual School approaches the Heart of the World, his weakness will be transformed into power, a power that will become a reality-of-being for him and will not forsake him even for one second. It is this same power in various gradations and potencies that bears and impels and fulfills the work of salvation. All those who live out of this power have become "possessors of might" in accordance with their state-of-being.

All Holy Language, with its innumerable legends, myths, epistles and accounts, gives evidence of this, just as it also speaks of Shamballa and the divine impulses which emanate from there at fixed times in the form of messengers and in other ways.
