This channelling was received on the 6th June 2012. It came while I was living in Egypt and, looking back on it, I must have needed the reassurance. Actually, I know I needed it because in that first year, adapting to life there, was very hard work.

Sometimes, the choices we consciously make as Souls overwhelm us, but they are necessary choices for the work we have opted to do. I am not sure if it is easier to know what we are doing, and why, or if it would be better to walk into situations blindfolded. Either way, it is a challenge, but it has to be done regardless.

Here is my guide’s attempt to let me know that my choice of path at that time was not a mistake. But this guidance also applies to all who do this work, because we are making choices which others do not understand the reason for.

So long as you understand, that is all that matters.

You entered this world with one intention: that of anchoring the consciousness of the Divine Feminine in harmony with the Ray of Service. This would ensure that those of you born under the sign of Divine Potential could bring both Light and Solace to the masses, each in your individual ways.

To do this, you sacrificed your own personal needs and desires in favour of supporting the energies which would change the nature of reality itself. You gave up ‘Love’ in favour of soulful service; you gave up ‘wealth’ in favour of thriving and surviving; and you gave up ‘hope’ in favour of possibility.

These sacrifices have not been in vain.

You see all around you, in everything you do, the note of Service and Potential, and in every way you do your best to meet the requirements of the situations in which you find yourselves. This is no easy task, we know, but we assure you that this service is needed, and desired, by all those alive on this planet, even if they are unaware of it.

Keep up the good work and know that the Keys to Heaven, through the Star Gates, have enabled thousands to access their Divine Selves. You, who are born into service, have opened these gates so that all who are ready can step through and experience a completely new ‘Living potential’, one which has not been achieved so far. It is you, the Ones who sacrifice their own needs to serve the Whole, who will look back and feel the joy of the connection which all those souls now experience for the first time. It is a connection you have enjoyed for many centuries.

So be glad to carry the flame into Humanity’s future, and be glad also that you are part of this huge awakening, an awakening never before experienced by Humanity in its journey of evolution.

Put all else behind you now and know that the seeds are planted and a new life is about to be lived by all.

The Ray of Service is the Sixth Ray in esoteric terms and is also called the Path of Devotion. Alice Bailey wrote many books on the subject.

“Devotion is the alignment of the personality with the soul. Devotion is another name for integration – the integration of the personality with the soul and the soul with the universal soul. Devotion and dedication to a noble cause in service to society are the keys to the positive side of this ray. We should set a high goal for ourselves, then all our energy will be elevated by the Sixth Ray. Through devotion, the mind is stabilised. Thus, the Sixth Ray leads to a focusing of our attention. Attention means that we take care of everything – things we use, our body, everything in our lives, etc. – with much mindfulness, love and care. Through devotion, we apply knowledge and attention to the smallest details in daily life, and this leads to focused action. The Sixth Ray also helps us develop interest in the inner life and to receive inner knowledge. This interest we call aspiration. If we are to truly live with spiritual aspiration, it must permeate our every activity.” Dr. Ekkirala Krishnamacharya
