New Year's Address January 1, 1966 by Gautama Buddha, Lord of the World
Release of the Thought Form for the Year 1966
They come from the East and the West.
They come hungry of heart with burdens to lay down.
They come seeking to win a starry crown.

     O, Gracious Ones, the hours of Peace, fresh from the Hand of God, pour over the earth as an oil of anointing, and Our Being is illumined from levels of Cosmic Illumination to new levels by His expanding Mind and by the buoyancy of His Peace. The Peace of God knows no limitation. The Peace of God is an expansive condition of Cosmos, of the Radiant Spheres of other worlds, of systems beyond light years incomprehensible, charged with the admission of the Sacred Fire Victory and waves of compassion from the Heart of God that has seen the struggled starts of the disciples of Light and has assisted them. Beams through the night glow with greater brilliance than beams through the day, and it is the strange contradistinction of Light and shadow that enables the devotees of Truth to appreciate the waves of Divine Bliss as they contrast those conditions with the world's confusion and abuses of Holy Law.

     I come this night, then, from the Portals of Shamballa. The ivory Throne upon which I sit tonight is especially builded in order to convey to the hearts of those who are with Me the Great Love of God for all things both great and small. Our ivory is not composed of animal substance but of the Power of Light, creating by Transmutation's Ray and by Precipitation's Flame the desires of Our Heart. And yet, We are not without appreciation for the great lumbering beasts that serve the people of India and the Far East and render unto them relief from many heavy loads and burdens.

     Elemental life, precious ones, must always be considered, for the things that are formed and the things that were formed are not themselves guilty in particle or principle of having rendered harm unto any except the reflection of that unnatural discord which mankind have imposed upon animal life, and also upon flora as well.

     The world will some day master the challenges that now beset them upon the Path when they tire of the wheel of mortal reverberation, when they tire of the battle of the senses. This oxcart pace cannot satisfy Cosmic exigencies; it cannot satisfy the deliberations of our Councils; it cannot satisfy the waves of Peace from the Heart of God that would assuage the tears of mankind, shed for all the warrings which go on among the members of the body of God upon the planet. Within religious movements, within the family of nations, within the households of men, the din is great, and the Lord has ridden forth upon a chariot of golden substance to penetrate the illusions and facades of men and to show that the waves of Peace must be made known.

     I would like, tonight, to chide those among mankind who will not acknowledge the presence of Peace and the need to teach it. The simplest conditions which are not appropriated by men, which are of virtue, must be taught, and mankind must be made to know what is virtue and value. The diamond, precious ones, is esteemed for its value. Were it to be devaluated in the marts of men you would find, O, gracious ones, that this rare gem would suddenly become plentiful, and the mines would open up and the markets would be flooded with diamonds because it would take many to make up the value of one. Today, there is a certain value in the minds of men to holding back on the sale of these jewels in order to keep the price up in the market. Understand, then, that a value must be placed upon Peace and a value must be placed upon spiritual bread and upon the necessities of spiritual Life.

     The world today is anhungered; and they shall be fed, and teachers shall go forth to assuage their thirst with the water of life and to satisfy and gratify their hunger with the bread of life. Not in an opulence of mortal, intelligent substance shall the battle be won, but by an outpouring of spiritual treasures. The Radiance of the East has gone forth. The enigmas held fast through the centuries have traveled unto the ends of the earth. And how safe they are from prying eyes, for who can understand them? Who can appreciate them? Who can take from them the resident spiritual power? Only the elect. As a nut with a shell so hard it resists all cracking, so the spiritual gems of Truth have been locked in metaphor, in symbol, in enigma, in mystery, and within the heart of Life.

     And Peace has not been known by men, for they are more concerned with the paltry matters which generate wars than they are with the treasures of God which engender the ways of Peace. The ways of Peace they have not known indeed. Yet, ere the year shall complete her cycle and her turning in space, and ere the twisting of this age shall be deciphered, events shall come to mankind which shall awaken many. We bring and bear no bitter prophecy, only the fruit of hope and desire for a better world, for a purer heart among the children of men.

     Now I would speak of a heart that like a Flame burns within. I would speak of a heart whose soft glow has been suffused into the world with a penetrability of the Radiance of Peace. I would speak of a feeling that causes men to desire Victory. I would speak of a yearning for Truth that will not be denied the Tablets of God's Law. I will speak of little hearts made great by basking in His brightness. I will speak of great hearts magnified into Cosmic Beings because of the vastness of their hope and determination. And I will say to the years, O, years, you are shining pathways of Light down which the pilgrims travel to the eternal abode, there to find security and rest for weariness of heart and mind.

     There is no way of such delight
As the Way of Peace.
There is no way of such delight as to permit
strife to cease.
There is no way of such delight that ends all woe,
As to find that Hope so bright, whose holy Glow
Will pass the portals of the mind and heart
And let the soul of Man make fresh start
In overcoming all that ought never to have been,
To accept God Freedom for all men
And see the way made plain
In Faith that wipes out fear,
In Presence of the Light when I AM here.
O, come, and now, rejoice!
Make bold your hearts tonight,
For God's Great Glow has filled the night with hope
And Music sounds Her great delight
As bowers fragrant with the Peace of hearts
Surround us all with God's own Hands of Love
Securing now and every hour
Some new triumph by His Flaming Power
Over dust and mud and slime,
The Flame of God makes all sublime.
 

     I come in Peace, I come in Love
I charge your hearts with Comfort's Dove.
I AM Gautama from Shamballa afar,
The door is oped, the gate's ajar.
We wait your coming here tonight,
To feel our Flame of God Delight,
To keep and make you robes all white,
By Faith and Love and Hope's delight
And Charity that frees us all
And makes the world a new place,
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
Thundering, then, down all the cycled realms of time,
With Victory's Voice: I AM DIVINE.
 

     Shatter matrices of evil, old
And let our Life emblazon bold
Upon the pages pure before you, then,
Keep Faith, keep Heart, keep Love
Within your mind, a guardian of the Way.
I know no higher word of praise than
"Faithful servant of the Lord"
He is so blest, adored
By all the Cosmic Hosts,
By all the sons of Heaven
Our lives are changed and fashioned by His leaven,
Secure, one load, one Eucharist of Light
I AM a fragrant, fragment, scintillating White,
Radiant sunburst, splendor, shining fair,
I come, tonight, to make a Holy Prayer
Before The Great White Brotherhood at Teton Grand
I come! I come! All stand!
And rejoice! rejoice! rejoice!
For God has said,
"I shall make all things new, instead.
Why wipe them out! Why destruct!
When I AM nigh to ever make a new construct,
A rightful act, a Purity that comes
To make and keep the world all free."
 

     O, thank you for your Love, so shining in your hearts,
O, thank you for the Hope that spans to start
A new resolution for the right.
Perhaps this year you'll win the fight
And if you are denied the total Triumph
Keep right on and know that where I AM
I'll make a little prayer for you, each one and all,
That step by step His Hand you'll hold
And up the stairway glistening gold
To wear the triumph crown that fair
Upon a silken pillow lies
Woven of strands of God's own hair.
His Love Rays saturate it all,
They are so nigh, thy feet are shod with Holy Call,
The Call that will not be denied,
The Call that triumphs at your side,
For where you are, there God is, too
Together, you shall win.
And few who triumph in each day
Must become the many,
This, I pray!

     O, Brothers of Almighty God, Beloved Sanat Kumara, Most August Lady Master Venus, Members of the Great Cosmic Hierarchy and Heavenly Emissaries, Our Hearts rejoice at your Presence here, the Glory of your rejoicing before His Face. We welcome each tiny elemental form, each Angel Being borne. We welcome men, one and all. We welcome those who love. We welcome those who wish to learn to love. We welcome all the sons of men, for we have vowed to defend the Faith this year as never before.

     Brothers, there is a waning in the world of men of Faith. There is a waning in the world of men of Hope, and there is a condition abroad upon the whole earth which has brought about spiritual famine, manifesting even as material famine in Our own India. Mankind have denied their God. They have denied Reality. They have denied Purity. They have denied all that God is, and in their denial, echoing down the halls of Life, has come the wake of frightful apparitions threatening to engulf vast areas of life with catastrophic conditions.

     Now, then, Our Brothers, We call to Thee for a release of great assistance for the sake of those remnants of our spiritual Brotherhood who have gone forth as spiritual teachers to the children of men. We ask that they be secured this night and given a special Protection from all harm and destructivity. We must, above all, keep alive and fan the Flame of Hope upon this planet in this awful and terrible hour. We cannot permit losses to occur in our own bands of devotees or chelas who are devoted to right action. We must do all to intensify these children of the Light, now embodied in mortal form, so that they will gain spiritual stature and not lose that wonderful Opportunity which has been given unto them.

     This is a moment of decision when Heaven must decide to render assistance, Our Brothers, beyond the merit of mankind or even many among our teaching bands who have been caught and snared from time to time by the mortal strands of unholy delusion. We must not permit that they shall then be denied the solace of Heaven this hour; and therefore, we plead with all of You who have this Great God Flame within you, burning upon you own Hearts' Altar, to this night give great assistance to mankind in their hours of peril and roll back the tides of predictability, those conditions which are so plainly revealed to the eyes of the discerning in order that they might also recognize that there now has come a moment of the turning when God shall wipe away tears from the eyes of men through the Power of great Love. And, therefore, I ask you, Beloved Holy Ones upon Venus, to lower the Great Chalice that contains the Thought Form for the year. (Pause of three minutes)

     THE THOUGHT FORM FOR THE YEAR IS A HAND, A RIGHT HAND, FROM ABOVE, HOLDING A GOLDEN KEY WITH THREE NOTCHES IN THE KEY AND ON THE SIDE OF THE KEY THE LETTERS L-O-V-E -LOVE. FROM ON HIGH, GOD'S HAND HOLDS THE KEY WHICH IS LOVE BY WHICH ALL DOORS MAY BE OPENED TO EVERY DEVOTEE OF THE MOST HIGH.

     Love is the Key that opens every door, and if the doors of the hearts of men are to respond to God, it must be by a great outpouring of Divine Love this year. And this is the attitude of Wisdom. Let him who hath an ear to hear, hear what the Spirit sayeth unto all men. Love seeks not herself, but to bestow upon the beloved every gracious gift, and the simplicity of love in the childlike way is the key to mankind's Victory, to mankind's victory that can open every door.

     Therefore, the three notches are defined as making this Key capable of opening the doors below, in the realm of the material, the doors of mind, and the doors of memory to all that Love can bestow, and all that Love is, and all that God would make mankind to be. These simple statements are charged with the Essence of Man's Freedom. Without these statements in action, mankind can but come to naught, and with these statements in action, Love then becomes the Key that bestows the Grace of Heaven upon earth in every age.

     This is Our Will, Our Brothers,
This symbol form from 'on High' for this year
Is a Message old and strong,
A Message that casts out fear.
This, Our Message, charges all
With Power to win, to raise us all,
For those below and those above
Are children of the Heart of Love.
They came from God, they go to Him,
They are His Hope, His future aim.
Upon the sky where God does write,
There is a Ray of Mighty Light.
Love is written in the air
Love is written in Our Prayer
Love is written full of Hope
Love is written, let none mope
Love confines not, Love is free
Love is beauty, 'tis the key!
Anchor, then, within your souls
Love's Great Flame, to make you whole.
 

     I AM the Power that charges Light
Through the darkness of the night!
I AM the Flame, the lantern high,
I AM the Peace from Shamballa's sky.
I came in Love, I leave in Love,
I came to give, I came to live.
I come tonight to make you right,
To make you light;
Purify your souls tonight.
Accept the challenge of this hour,
Accept the gift of Heaven's Power.
Accept the Key the way to be,
I AM, I AM FOREVER FREE!
 

     In Peace, in Love, in Courage rare,
I say go forth and conquer there
For you in Summit realm tonight,
I say, are chosen of the Light.
To Colorado you would go
To hold His Banner - let it glow.
It matters not if you've been frail,
The Power of Light shall never fail -
I AM is God in you, I think!
I AM the nectar, quaff that drink!
And watch the soul expand within,
'Twill break the iron bands of sin
And change you in a twinkling eye
To Victors in that beauteous sky
Where souls like stars do twinkle bold,
Where souls like stars are shining gold.
We all are one in that Great Light,
His Star is beaming bright tonight.
 

     Sanat Kumara, Lord of Flame,
We see you go in Victory's Name.
This meeting was a wondrous one,
It spoke of Grace from out the Sun,
Of days of old when only Light existed
And the Power of Right.
And now we go to win the world,
A mighty Banner I unfurled.
Shamballa rules the earth today
In God's own Name and God's own Way.
We say to all the hordes of dark,
Depart! Depart! this very park!
For God is here and here to stay,
I AM GAUTAMA, PEACE IS MY WAY!

     I thank you and I accept your Love, and I love you still and I always will. Blessings from Shamballa to all the children of The Great White Brotherhood everywhere this 1966, Year of Decision, when the Christ-manifestation of the Golden Key of Love is given to Man as the challenge of Faith in action. Thank you.
