A major opportunity

by the Master --, through Benjamin Creme

Each year, as the Spring months approach, Hierarchy makes preparation for

the three Spring Festivals of April, May and June. Every year, as the time

draws near, plans are set in motion to enable those who seek the light and

wish to serve to do so more fully and more effectively. During this Spring We

intend to make a major manifestation. Throughout these months, energies of

enormous potency will flow outwards to the world. Their heightened power

will facilitate certain rapprochements much needed today, and great efforts

will be made to canalize the goodwill of millions. In this way it is hoped to

effect great changes in human affairs, and to prevent a further slide into chaos

and war.

This time of heightened activity We call a Spiritual Push, and during this

period all spiritual activity will be potentized many-fold. Spiritual action of all

kinds, stemming from whatever tradition or belief, will find enhancement

during these months, and much can be achieved if full use is made of this

opportunity. It behoves all those who desire to serve and to better the world

to contact and use these forces and so make them manifest in their lives.

Shared responsibility

We seek to establish among men a new sense of shared responsibility. We

seek to awaken in them a taste for concerted action. We endeavour to create

the conditions in which these two can manifest together and thus lead to

change. All is energy; energy alone exists. Through the impact of these higher

energies on the Centre, humanity, We seek to engender a new atmosphere in

the world. Help Us to create conditions of trust and so bring renewed hope to

the world. Sow the seeds of love and trust and watch them blossom as hope

and joy.

A time of giving

Everyone can do something to ease the pain of his brothers. Take stock of

where you stand and see what you should do. Pledge, now, your support for

every act of sacrifice and contribute your share thereto. Make this time a time

of giving; let your will to serve have full expression. Know that as you serve

you work towards the light and align more correctly with the purpose of your

soul.

Take your stand with Us and allow the dreams of men to come true. Take

your stand with Us and be assured of Our stimulus and help. Take your stand

at Our side and perform deeds you thought impossible to achieve.

Moment of decision

When you see Maitreya you will know that the moment of decision for the

world has come. He will call for action from all who would save the world.

Join the ranks of those who act and serve, and enter the mainstream of the

Great Current of life.

The time has come, as never before, to act in accordance with your professed

ideals, and to make manifest the vision enshrined in your heart. Know that

you are not alone; that millions embrace these same ideals. Join hands with all

who seek to serve and spin a web of light around the world. Remember that

you are in the world to serve and that only through service can you grow.

Remember that you are your brother's keeper and accept responsibility for

your brother's needs. Present yourselves, as never before, as channels through

whom We may work, as transformers of the mighty potencies which will

shortly flow to you.

In this way can you set the seal of service on this life and in due course join

the ranks of Those Who have gone before you.
