it is easy to grow black horns in wings of false reasoning

19.  Instead of wings of achievement it is easy to grow black horns in wings of false reasoning.  The dark spirits have black emanations resembling horns.  (see Gustave Dore illustration below)
206.  But the inquiring mind is not concerned with the conventional evidence; it wants reality in the setting of cosmic laws.  It understands that the pearl is invisible in the depths and that layers of air can conceal a flock of eagles....Remember that it is not the illiterate people who will be furious against reality, but these little "literates" will violently defend their short-sighted evidence. They will think that the world enclosed within their horizon is the actual one, and that all else remaining invisible to them is a harmful fiction. What lies at the base of this beggarly narrowness?  In an altered aspect it is that very same idea of personal ownership--this is my own pigpen and therefore everything outside of it is not necessary and pernicious; this is what is apparent to me and therefore nothing outside of it exists.
208.  Darkness lies over those who are afraid; real harm is less noticeable to them than one new hair on the head of a neighbor.  Is it possible to think about the community when occupied with gossip? 
209.  Be not afraid to appear stern; certainly far worse are soft rumpled cushions.  Sternness will produce roots, and if there be also an indication of intensity then will be created the manifestation of the bridge....it is necessary by all means to preserve the unusualness of reality.  Reality prepares the path in a flash of lightning.     -Morya:  Community 1926

You can see that a teacher who does not speak to the child out of the flame of God is committing the greatest crime in the universe.  He is seizing the mantle of the Great God, the original Guru, and is writing upon the clean white page of innocent and unsuspecting souls something other than the vibration of this perfect attunement.     -Guru Ma:  Community, p. 139

Let the children of the light position themselves then in points of service and understanding where there is a meeting of the mind with some segment of the community that for each individual may be a different segment according to your calling, your education and the leaning of your heart.  Let there be expansion through friendship, through brotherly love, through contact, through communion, through a willingness to work together with the community at large to solve its problems.                     -Lanto:  11-4-1979 via Messenger ECP
