You who would set the example for the age must also bear in mind that you cannot mold the thoughts of others by argument, nor will a display of the ego generate respect in those you would lead….How quickly the vibrations of a building, or of a consciousness, are lowered as men and women continually dwell on the errors and shortcomings of others…. While the lives of men are full of shame, ending in blame toward one another, we would make them to be full of hope, that the dawn of self-improvement might appear daily to each human life. Why should we limit men when the balm of forgiveness can bring about a spiritual equity in the entire evolution of a planet?… Yet as it enters the functional levels of human consciousness, purpose must acquire relevance to those levels in order that it might elevate the various modes of man’s thought, step by step, to a higher perspective….Let the balm of sweet forgetfulness soothe your consciousness in the simple meditation upon the law of God: “For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”…Leave to God that which you should, and inch your way as best you can toward higher goals…. We are not interested in building personality cults wherein the leader, usurping the position of the Christ, is looked to as the saviour of the members. We are interested in increasing the awareness of God in the life of each individual, so that out of his own knowingness can come the great rarification of the ethers of his own world that shall bring into his consciousness the things of the Spirit that have long been hidden….Then the coat of snakeskins will be shed and the sacred fire shall be raised as the brazen serpent in the wilderness of old, a symbol of the elevation of the life-force and not of its dethronement into the degeneracy of improper practices…. What do we see then in this aspect of the teachings of the Great White Brotherhood? Why of course a cloak of cosmic invincibility with which the adept is clothed.
(by Schmiechen, 1884)……………………………………………………………………………
Self-imposed limitation bars man from effectively grasping cosmic principles and thus denies him access to the consciousness of the ascended masters. From the beginning the power of the Universal Spirit has sought to convey higher grace to all men. While man in many ages has earnestly sought to find deliverance from a host of problems and to unleash the secrets of nature within himself, he has also created a great deal of adversity by his self-erected barriers. These, being both mental and emotional, have prevented the great cosmic light from acting in his world. -Helios: Pearls of Wisdom 13:29
