Getting in Tune With
the Universal Law
Carlos Cardoso Aveline
* All forms of Yoga and theosophy point in the same direction. Self-control means going against the blind tendencies of habit and desire.
* “Yoga is the cessation of modifications of the mind”, say the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. In other words: yoga is the interruption of actions based on blind desire, habit, and impulses of attraction and rejection.
* The voluntary stoppage of instinctive reactions on the emotional and mental planes produces free magnetic force. Likewise, the dam that interrupts the flow of water in a river generates a subtler and more flexible energy - electricity - which afterwards can be used in many useful ways.
* As one gradually obtains self-knowledge, lower levels of life must be adapted to serve the higher and wiser ones.
Combining Dream and Realism
* The purpose of studying philosophical and spiritual topics is not simply to accumulate information. Far from it. The goal is to strengthen one’s inner awakening.
* By getting in tune with the universal law, the pilgrim’s conscience rises through study as an instance of life that is at the same time self-responsible and brotherly.
* The student of esoteric philosophy is often described by Eastern and Western sages as a warrior, because he must fight illusions. The delusions fought by him are mainly those which he himself has accumulated in the past; secondarily, he fights the common mistakes of the social groups around him.
* Along the way, the pilgrim must maintain a realistic balance between what he knows verbally, and what he can accomplish in practice. Observing the distance between dream and reality in his life is one of the main weapons for defending himself. A noble ideal and a realistic view of things must go together, step by step. They correspond to two different areas of the brain, which work simultaneously and are equally necessary.
As Materialistic Illusions Implode
* Whenever there seems to be chaos in the history of the world, we are seeing a period of accelerated alchemy. Then the temperature of human karma may get to a boiling point and lead the very fabric of materialistic delusions to a process of melting and transcendence.
* In difficult times, the presence of the spiritual soul in daily life causes the transformation of the heavy Lead of Ignorance into the luminous Gold of Ethics and Commitment to Life. Every pioneer of the future stages in human evolution is thus strengthened and his efficiency expands.
* Whether we like it or not, obstacles and challenges are a central part of human learning. They constitute a preparatory process for the victory of the soul to become visible. Such is the victory of Wisdom - the triumph of the Law of Equilibrium.
* Om, shanti.
Time to Stop Using Fake
Masters as Tools to Delude People
* John Garrigues wrote:
* “After the death of H. P. Blavatsky, psychics and mediums began to publish messages, contacts, visions, given to them as special privileges by H. P. B. herself in her astral form. A theosophical writer of that time exclaimed with humor, ‘There’s a wonderful amount of masquerading in the post-mortem realms nowadays’.”
* “Today a similar masquerading is going on, with Saint-Germain as the one dressed up by the psychic’s imagination. According to the ‘experiences’ of the present hour, the ‘Ascended Master’ Saint-Germain, frequently descends, to ‘instruct’ his obedient pupils. In fact, this “Master” has gone into business with these psychics and the firm is carrying on a lucrative commerce.” [1]
* Our friends of the false Masonry of the Adyar Theosophical Society would do themselves a favour by stopping to abuse the true Initiate who once used the name Saint Germain (among others). By having a little more respect for truth, they will finally start benefitting themselves in that department.
