2) 23. Only a realization of cosmic individuality can illumine the steps of evolution. Otherwise in the earthly understanding evolution will remain only profitable investment of capital. You already know that capital deprived of goal-fitness is only a millstone about the neck. -M: Community 1926

3) 72. All Teachings repeat about the burden of the flesh in order to direct attention to the supremacy of spirit. The Teaching should be accepted as the inception of true privileges which are inalienable. One should value how the Teaching deepens consciousness and provides true opportunities of life if these are not rejected. This simple aspect is so rarely given consideration. People prefer to send their complaints into space, evoking upon themselves a shower of stones. But We do not wish to frighten them lest they speak of a lack of love. People ascribe to the manifestation of love such peculiar conditions that it would seem that their love was coined in a mint! But love is necessary for the path into the Infinite. A guide is so urgently needed; when in the ultimate tension upon slippery rocks we seek the saving thread the Guiding Hand will touch us.
207. It can be seen how at times a condition, insignificant from the point of view of daily life, has a tremendous influence upon inner action, and vice versa--the slightest unworthy desire may destroy the structure already prepared. But it is not customary to pay attention to the activity of the heart. People are ready to doom themselves to any unhappiness rather than think about its causes. We are also concerned to see how people permit an intolerable trend of thought near the magnetic centers, unwilling to recall that particular vigilance is needed especially near these centers. Of course everyone may think about himself, but where there is a step of millenniums the flutter of butterflies is unfit. One must ultimately learn co-measurement! Thoughts about the highest give birth to the highest. -M: Heart 1932

4) 281. This brings us again to the same point--spasmodic impulse bears no more significance than sleep as far as its ultimate effect on the work is concerned. Only concentrated attention and perseverance without discouragement will lead to the discernment of the manifested laws. Let none think that the possibility has not been given--rather, it has not been accepted.
480. To hold back humanity from higher thinking is similar to murder. This is not exaggeration, for coarseness and the lowering of the level of thought lead ultimately to disillusion and annihilation.
595. Much is impressed upon the consciousness through simple thinking. Also nature should be regarded as a great guide. Does not the purple of the swelling buds recall the purple of the protective net of the aura? Thus one can find in color and sound great analogies to the foundations of life.
616. The higher beings perceive the effect of their thoughts immediately, whereas here we can know only their direction, and the ultimate result is disclosed only after a certain lapse of time. Thus one can gradually form an idea of the differences between manifestations in various worlds. Likewise one can gradually approach fiery consciousness, eradicating the barriers between worlds. One can imagine the state when death will be no more, and the transition will be a usual attainment. It is impossible to understand how such separation between worlds came about since it is not necessary for evolution, unless people have created a prideful concept of Earth.
-M; Fiery World 1933

5) 305. Moreover the intrusion of a foreign psychic energy inevitably opens a channel to various infections. Obsession is not psychism but it affects the entire organism. Let us say definitely--obsession is not only a psychic sickness but also an evidence of infection of the whole organism. Many epidemics have obsession as their origin. Indeed the dark obsessing entity is not concerned about the health of its victim. Every disease is in itself a dissolution which is pleasing to darkness. -M: Aum 1936

6) 26. We are always on guard. Not an hour passes without the need to stop somewhere the vicious attacks of the dark ones. Do not think that they attack only Our followers. They try to destroy all constructive work, and because of the law of vibrations they are able to find the seed of good so hated by them. One should not ascribe omniscience to them, but they do sense their opposites. Our Work is made difficult by the expenditure of energy needed to counter the attacks of the dark ones. They know that ultimately they cannot overcome Us, but they absorb the energy that is being sent into space. When We ask for unity and trust We are calling for help for a speedy victory. -M: Supermundane 2, 1938

7) 306. People through their own efforts can become self-disciplined and moral and produce healthy emanations. They should not burden themselves with rituals and should realize that only inner striving will bring them to perfection. Let them learn to project thought to a distance, let them visualize the image they revere. For such inspiration rituals are superfluous. Everyone in the purity of his own heart can commune with the Teacher. Thus can Earth be filled with good aspirations. Such people will not be left in solitude, for the ultimate goal of Goodness will unify all seeking hearts.
331. Our influence is always benevolent, but one should know how to recognize its consequences. If one is sufficiently observant, one will see that many events develop in unexpected ways. Shouldn't one conclude that behind them there is a Leading Hand?
389. In subtle realms negative feelings such as malice, revenge and general harmfulness will exhaust themselves because they are useless. The spirit ultimately awakens to the fact that no gates are opened by such keys. Likewise on Earth people who are ardently absorbed in their work have no time to dwell on petty offenses or injustices. Work demands their complete attention. In higher spheres evil thoughts do not exist for evil is of chaos, and in harmonious spheres there are no conditions for discord. Thus an attraction is created, and the Magnet is brought into operation.
