499-500. The structure of oxygen—the birthplace of the power of fire—is invisible….Sending of communications does not depend on a forced tension of the will but on clarity of consciousness in combination with the light of abhidharma (training in wisdom). Thus the quality of transmission depends on the purity of the consciousness and on the presence of oxygen attracted by the Fire of space. -M: Agni Yoga 1929

30. Why do so many experiments fail to yield results? First of all because of impatience and unwillingness to accept responsibility. Sometimes people upbraid us, saying that help did not come in time. But instead of reproaching us the person who asked for help ought to recall how before things were ready he veered off the path or started thinking that his load was overly burdensome. It is very sad for us to see cowardly deviations or unwillingness to place oneself on the edge of an abyss. How can one intensify energy if not by an extreme situation? Such situations should be regarded not as endpoints but as beginnings. Likewise for the exercise of patience it is useful to grasp the concept of a beginning. For some people everything is definitely an end, but for our students everything is a beginning.
-M: Heart 1932

572. One cannot fail to be amazed at the persistent refusal of people to envision the manifestation of the all-pervading fiery element. One can turn to the trite example of oxygen in its solid, liquid, gaseous and even etheric states. People will accept such action of substances quite calmly but never apply this striking example to the fiery element. Fire is lodged too strongly in people's minds in its coarsest form, but so utterly undeveloped is the human imagination that it cannot conceive the extension and refinement of the crude form into infinity. People will say "Why don't we see the fiery beings?" Thus they prefer to blame the fiery realm rather than ponder upon the state of their consciousness. -M: Fiery World 1933

203. certain individuals from the subtle realm who are close to us act to assist a common task. Even not so long ago they were unable to serve the common purpose because of differences of vibrations, but now your vibrations and their endeavors for communion make them useful co-workers. Thus is created useful labor in common. It is the more useful because the adversaries have similar co-workers. Certainly it is joyous to watch each cumulation of consciousness….
When I am concerned about spiritually pure atmosphere I have in mind a very important consequence. Without spiritual accumulations the command to take everything upon oneself has no meaning. This command can be given only where there is a heart bond with the subtle and fiery realms. Only such a bond, during the present earthly conflict, can strengthen those to whom the order has been given. The currents are too complicated to be opposed by earthly forces.
