208.  people prefer to pollute the planet if only they may dwell in the savage state.  Do not think that words about savagery are an exaggeration.  One may wear expensive clothing and still remain a savage.      -M:  Brotherhood 1937 

120, 121, 163.  The most important characteristic of a "miraculous" phenomenon is of course its unexpectedness….The Teacher can point out the most necessary channel of action.  The Teacher can protect to a certain degree, but the shadow-dance of the past will continue its round.  One should concentrate one's thought on finding the right attitude toward these demons….Do not be concerned with the rising and falling of the spirit; these are only turns in the spiral of motion.  Far worse are a continuous inattentiveness and self-concern.     -M:  Agni Yoga 1929

387.  Only when the conception will correspond to cosmic truth can a proper striving be expected.  Limitation of consciousness is the doom of the spirit--in it is contained a complete extermination of the best possibilities. Therefore when consciousness is limited by the visible world alone there is no link with cosmos.  Only that consciousness which embraces the world in the scope of vast actions can become a true co-worker of cosmos.      -M:  Infinity 2, 1930

335.  Distortion of the Teachings has produced an ever-living terror.  Precisely, the Teachings have been reduced to the human level, and the temples of man are not temples of the Lord.  And the word of the Lords is not affirmed by humanity because the Teaching of Light has been lost in the obscurity of human consciousness.  Only the heart tempered in battle and knowing the complexity of life can understand all the darkness of humanity.  One can say that the world will be saved by regenerating consciousness.

At solstice Sun with Mercury make one-eighth of circle angle to Venus--hence suitable for some inner work. 

( One may call:  In the name I AM THAT I AM, El Morya and legions of Mercury, Serapis Bey and the great seraphim and cheubim:  may there be the needful  modulation of the frequencies of the light from the solar hierarchies of Gemini to Cancer for the greater good.  Amen.)
