T#$ %&'T$) $*ery day is a birthday+ e*ery day is the

greatest birthday! ou are blessed+ you are seeing your %aster in

the physical body! - am not so blessed! There is a *ast dierence

between the .hysical %aster in the physical body and the %aster

who has transcended into the /eyond! &t the human le*el #e is

at the same le*el as you0it is all oy and ecstasy! The %aster

does not lea*e the initiate until the end o the world, but i we are

on the same plane both together! ! ! !

'o happy we are, o course, when we are in the physical

body with our %aster+ we can ne*er orget it! hen we remember

those days, tears are shed, the heart bursts! #e is not away rom

us! - know my %aster is with me! et with all that, the physical

presence cannot be underrated! That is why, - tell you, you are

happy, o course0- am not! -t does not mean that my %aster is not with me0#e is ne*er away

rom me e*en or a moment! /ut to be on the same plane together, that is blessedness!

wrong8 'o blessed you are, - would say, on this #appy 3hristmas!

The 3hrist .ower is the same working at dierent poles whether it is in esus or one o the other

%asters, that makes no dierence+ 3hrist ne*er dies! e ha*e to become conscio#s o that, you see!

inalyes) =nce - wrote what happened to an initiate who is let behind ater the %aster has

let the physical plane! That was a *ery practical statement, description gi*en! There was a %aster,
