A re-cycled Shamballah post- couldn't resist!

... the Russian archaeologist ( Roerich ) told of his conversation with a
high Lama
in Tibet in his visits to that land in 1928.

"Lama, tell me of Shamballah," Roerich said:

"But you westerners know nothing of Shamballah,"
the lama answered. "You wish to know nothing.
Probably you ask out of curiosity; and you pronounce
the sate word in vain."

"Lama, I don't ask about Shamballah aimlessly,"

Roerich replied. "Everywhere, people know of this
great symbol under different names. Or scientists seek
each new spark containing this remarkable realm.
Csoma de Koros knew of Shamballah, when he made
his prolonged visits to the Buddhist monasteries. Grun
wendel translated the book of the famous Tashi Lama,
pal-den-ye-she, about the `Way To Shamballah.'
We sense how, under these sweet symbols, a great
truth is concealed . . . " The lama stared intently at Nicholas Roerich for
a
moment, looking at the Russian scientist with un
blinking, piercing eyes. Roerich and the lama were
alone in a long room in the monastery. The lama broke
the silence of the darkened room by clapping his hands.
A monk appeared with tea in two porcelain cups on a
gold tray. As they sipped the bitter liquid, the lama ex
plained that Shamballah was simply an enormous
celestial kingdom, akin to the heavenly kingdom of the
Christian religion.

Roerich was not content with this .explanation. He
placed a portfolio of notes on a rug between them.
"Lama, I have heard of the reality of this indescrib
able. place- an earthly Shamballah. I've been told that
some high lamas have visited Shamballah. I've heard of
the Buryat Lama and how he was taken through,a nar
row, secret passageway. So please don't tell me of only
the heavenly Shamballah because I know that a real
one exists on earth."

Dean,
The heavenly Shambhala and the earthly Shambhala, are one and the same, also
the realm of the ellusive 'Prester John.'

Roerich was taken by the Lama into a grotto, and shown a pool which were the
tears of Tara, lamenting the fall of man from his divine station. He began
to see a picture form in the pool, with the utmost clarity. The first scene
was our planet in space.

The appearance of the globe began to change radically. Heavy grey, black,
brown and red clouds covered the more populated areas. Occasionally this
mass was pierced by fiery red flashes as if from explosions. At times light
blue, rose or golden rays and stars arose from the dark background to
brighten it. But the whole planet was swamped by an enormous aura of dark,
ugly colours.

The Lama said, "You are observing the mental and emotional vibrations
emitted by mankind, a grey fog of selfishness. The blue sparks are the
spiritual aspirations of the minority, blotted out by the mass thoughts of
passion, hatred and greed."

"Our planet is sick due to man's wrong thinking." whispered Roerich. Hazel.

If I get a chance in the next few days I will go over the the "Roerich,"
museum again to see if the employees, some of which must be Roerich "buffs,"
have a clue about the HET, and invite them to join this site.
