We have discussed, in part, the penal systems and institutions in the world about you, and emphasized rather strongly that the present corrective measures are only ways of trying to correct some very obvious fault which lies within the individual; that it has not occurred after he has become an adult but rather these corrective measures should be entered into while one is still a child! The ounce of prevention here is likewise recommended.

Speaking of the educational systems as children are taught in the schools about you, there has been some advancement in the buildings and in the extent to which the educational systems have been instituted in your civilization; yet they are but a step removed from the medieval times of the dark ages during the period of the Reformation. Just as are the penal institutions, and just as are the systems of psychiatry and medicine but a step in advance of these systems which were in use but a short period of time before. There is still much room for improvement in the educational systems as they exist for the children and the growing youngsters and teenagers of your time and day. I would remind you that the idea of vocational guidance is one which obviously has been rather sadly neglected. Usually, the child is left to grow up and become subjected to numerous pressures about him, until somewhere along in his adolescence, he becomes imbued with some idea that he would wish to become something or another. Now, this may be well and good to a certain extent, but we must remember that sometimes a child has been influenced by a psychic memory or an impingement from some previous lifetime. The child, in expressing such vocational aptitudes or desires is, in a sense of the word, merely wishing to work out a karmic condition which he may have incurred in a previous lifetime. Or, as I have said, he may be falsely pressured into adopting some vocation which he is entirely unsuited for and one in which he will quite likely waste a considerable portion of his life vainly trying to orient himself into performing and which will later become a very odious profession.

In many other planets the system of analyzing the characteristics and potentials of the child is begun soon after birth, so that the educational systems into which he enters, and to which he is subjected will be of such nature wherein the child is made fully cognizant of the direction of life which he is taking. He will not be pressured into this system, but rather, it will be very subtly interjected into his life so that he will become infused and completely embody the fulfilling a lifetime of such a vocation for which he is more suitably adapted. Should his aptitude be of such nature that training shall be entered into, wherein there are no particular propensities or outstanding characteristics in the child’s nature, he is still, however, quite likely to be made a very capable and efficient citizen of his community through such vocational and directional aptitude guidance that he will, in his future days and evolutions, be much more constructively minded and much more developed and a more active participant in the community life about him.

The idea of colleges and universities, as they exist today, is very firmly entrenched in part, in the traditional aspects of learning as have existed with the inception or since the first days of such origins of these institutions.

Likewise, great emphasis is given to the sporting activities which have sometimes caused considerable derelictions with the student and his participation in the curricular activities of the institution where he is trying to obtain some sort of a degree of learning. So, all in all, the idea of vocational guidance being left until the more fully developed teen age, or until the adulthood years, is one which should be very strongly and emphatically rectified, so that the child can be entered as a mere youngster into such vocational guidance as will more suitably fit him for the life which he is to live. There was a closer adherence to this principle even in the so-called ‘dark ages’ wherein many youngsters were entered into periods of apprenticeship.

If you remember, in studying the histories of that time, there were in existence rather large systems of guilds or craftsmen throughout not only the European but through the Asiatic countries as well. Almost everyone was trained in some sort of craft or in some kind of trade; even the ladies were very deft in spinning and weaving, and in sewing and numerous other activities of their daily lives. The kings and queens were no exception. Usually, the period of apprenticeship was entered into at a very early age, sometimes at even the tender age of six or eight years, so that the child usually spent ten or fifteen years in the apprenticeship of the master-craftsman.

However, the austerities of such apprenticeship would not appeal to the youngster of your present day and age who has been reared in luxury which would be the envy of any king or emperor a hundred years or so ago. We could not imagine any youngster who has been pampered and living in a civilized age and time such as in your day of automobiles, with hot and cold water, plumbing and numerous civilized conveniences, as being likely to arise at five or six on a cold wintry morning to blow the coals of an open fireplace, to help prepare the breakfast meal and sweep and clean the house in preparation for the new tasks of the day which would probably involve him for at least twelve or fourteen hours. To such a youngster of your present day and age, this sort of apprenticeship would mean nothing more or less than pure slavery and such a condition he could not possibly tolerate.

Now I see that you have become accustomed — as you have been noting, seated in the park-like area immediately before one of the thirty-three entrances of this huge Temple — to the pulsating beauty of this dimension. We shall arise and walk up the seven steps which lead to this first entrance. Before going in, however, it would be quite obvious to you that it would be impossible, in one book or in one lifetime, to give you a very adequate and full description or exploration of the other remaining thirty-two sections of this great Center. I shall, however merely sum this up in a general way by saying that they are, academically, rather largely devoted to the different periods of history, and in the transition of the historical pageants as they have existed on the earth from time to time. To explore each one of these sections would be, to the average student, something rather repetitious in nature, as much of the contents of these huge sections are very historical in nature, and relate to the different epochs of time in which man has lived on the earth planets as well as numerous other planets with which we are associated. We have purposely avoided entering into the discussion or description of any other planet as this would only tend to confuse the student of Truth. So that, all in all, as you have been given a portion of a factual exploration into one of the Centers, we will say that the remaining thirty-two are to a degree, the same nature; and that in these sections you will find numerous students and, in some cases in certain portions of one or another of the sections, you would find large groups of students, small or growing children who had passed from earth or from some other terrestrial planet, possibly before they had completed their full reincarnation. There are numerous differences in the interpretations of the periods of reincarnations within every individual, and sometimes it is quite obvious to see that the full completion or cycle is sometimes terminated before it is fully expressed into some dimension. It therefore, remains for the individual to reinstate himself in his purpose and to his own intent, and to further complete such a cycle in a suitable dimension, otherwise, this too, would induce some sort of karma to the individual as he is trying to work these things out which are impeding his progress.

Now, let us pass directly through this doorway, as you are somewhat amazed to find yourself standing somewhere in the middle of a huge bowl-shaped area, something like a coliseum or a sporting stadium in your own earth dimension. The differences here, however, are quite apparent in the nature and in the structure of the building itself. As you look about you, there are the crystalline structures with which you have become so familiar; and looking up and down into the various tiers and rows of seats, you can well imagine that this huge temple could hold at least two or three hundred thousand people. I could remind you that this is not necessarily a temple which is stable in size, but could be enlarged if some such future event were to take place wherein it would be necessary for a million or so persons to enter into this temple, and it could be enlarged in a very brief period of time to accommodate this very vast number of people who would enter in and be seated within these confines.

Overhead, if you will notice, there is a huge vaulted dome that seems to be transparent in nature; transparent with the exception of the large circular section which contains the thirty-three lenses or discs which are many feet in diameter. Looking down into the center of this large bowl-like depression, you will see a huge circular stage or platform, which is, within itself, about three or four hundred feet in diameter and rests upon a series of steps.

You will see also, that the surface of this huge platform or stage is divided into thirty-three sections, each one of a different color or nature. There is, on the outer rim of each of these sections, a periphery of pure crystal, and on top of the surface of each crystal, there is a large flame which seems to be glowing, yet is steady — something like the flame of a candle. However, this flame would be about six feet tall and is of a pure white radiant nature. There is, also, immediately behind each one of these cubes and flames a raised dais where there is a seat. In the ceremony which is to take place within a few days, there will be the thirty-three representatives from the thirty-three Logi who will come into this Temple. They will be seated in their respective positions, each one upon His own raised dais or His own section of the platform, for the purpose of the ceremony.

Within the center of the semi-circle is also a section which has twelve different divisions wherein will be seated the Council of Twelve. The center section itself will be immediately devoted to the Master of the entire Shamballas who is, at the present time, the man who was formerly known on your earth as Jesus; or, rather to avoid confusion, let us say that this is the man and His polarity who are perfectly merged for this occasion; and in their merging they will assume their pure dimensional relationship with the whole integrated concept of the biune division, as has been explained to you in previous discussions.

This observance which will take place will be in a corresponding period of the twenty-first day of December in your Gregorian calendar. This is for the purpose of projecting at that time, intense radiations of Celestial Energies into the terrestrial dimension of the earth; and, as you see immediately above, each flame is glowing upon this cube-like altar; there is, in the ceiling above it in the huge dome, a corresponding huge lense which is focusing a pure beam of energy directly upon the flame. These flames are never allowed to die, but remain motionless and perpetual and serve numerous functions and different initiation ceremonies wherein the initiate comes to the Center to study. He must, of course, by nature, enter into such initiations as will immediately process him into the dimension in which he is to either serve or to be so tutored. l will not, at this time, promise that you will be here when this particular ceremony takes place, as this will be dependent, in part, upon conditions of a physical nature in the world about you; however, we will do our utmost if you so desire to witness this ceremony, and if it can be done without any danger to yourself, we shall be most happy to assist you in witnessing it. It must be borne in mind, however, that there will be tremendous energies in force and in play, during this ceremony, and we would have to set up certain shielding and protective devices which would insulate you from incurring some damage into the psychic centers of your body. However, we shall wait and see what comes forth during the next day or so.

So, now, if you will cast your eyes about, look upon the beauty about you, and into the great vaulted canopy or dome to the huge dimension of the temple which is immediately before you. In a very short time this will be filled to almost overflowing with numerous souls who have migrated here from the various other centers and astral worlds to witness the Christmas festival. These people are all, in themselves, related in their different transitions and in their different migrations; they have, at some time, been connected with the terrestrial planet earth and they are, therefore, quite interested in taking part in these observances in a pure spiritual nature. There will be no gift wrapping or packaging at this time. Rather, there will be an exchange of a gift which is of much greater value to mankind in general. This is the gift of the projection of pure brotherly love, to the peace of mind and security, and in the knowledge and in the knowing that each individual is, himself, an integrated part of the concept of God; that he is immortal and imperishable; that he is, by his own right and jurisdiction, as a child of God, so imbued with God-like qualities and virtues that he, too, in his future evolutions can become God-like in nature. So, until we can be together again, dear ones, with all our love and our most heart-felt projections of positive rays and energies, we remain, your brothers and sisters.
