The origins cannot be regarded as competitive forces

a)   116.  Shield children from everything false, guard them against worthless music, protect them from obscenity, protect them from false competitions, protect them from affirmation of selfhood—the more so since it is necessary to inculcate a love for incessant learning. The muscles must not gain the upper hand over mind and heart.       -M:  Community 1926

b)    201.  The origins cannot be regarded as competitive forces; only unification of the forces creates life.    -M:  Infinity 1, 1930

………………………………………………………………………………..….

c)    86.  Cooperation can be the adornment of a conscious spirit.  Not compulsion, and still less competition, but the increase of energies transmits the understanding of cooperation.  Cooperative work is clear to those who have understood Hierarchy through the heart.   

-M:  Heart 1932

d)    564.  Finally a newcomer said “You have discussed various types of competition, but you have forgotten one near to the human heart—a competition in magnanimity.  Let your teeth, fists and skull be at rest and vie with each other in magnanimity.  It will speed the path of the heart to the fiery world.”  It must be confessed that everyone became greatly concerned, for they did not know how to manifest magnanimity.       -M:  Fiery World 1933

e)     134.  A pure understanding of self-perfection will not evoke competition. Where the consciousness is wild and unrestricted there competition leads to mutual destruction.  Envy nests around competition.  It leads to the most subtle crimes. Cooperation must bring balance to the misunderstood competition.  It is not easy to fix for oneself the boundary of a reasonable competition.  The word competition itself is already dangerous; in it is expressed jealousy, in other words, a corrupt devotion.  Therefore it is best wherever possible to replace the concept of competition with that of perfectionment. 

140.  Perhaps overproduction, competition and distortion of the meaning of life will bring humanity into a blind alley, and then it will be obliged to stop and think.      -M:  Fiery World 1934

f)    341.  Constricting the greatest energy also aids the belittlement of human thinking.  Verily the more man constrains his possibilities the more does he cut himself off from great cooperation.       -M:  Brotherhood 1937

g)     137.  Only the sensitive heart will sense where the evil ones are.  Let us not forget that they are skillful and fierce, and that no one can compete with them in these qualities.  Thus the dark ones can bear suffering and even destroy themselves in order to participate in destruction.

226.  People should not compete to be innovative but should train themselves to think about the useful and Beautiful.  It would be better to think about essentials and how one can contribute the utmost good to the world.       -M:  Supermundane 1, 1938

h)    286.  Armageddon should not be understood as only a physical battle.  It is full of incalculable dangers among which will be epidemics, but the most ruinous consequence will be psychic perversions.  People will lose trust in one another and will compete in doing evil.  They will develop a persistent hatred of all except their own kind and will sink into irresponsibility and depravity.  To all these insanities will be added the most shameful--intensified competition between male and female.  We insist upon equal and full rights for women, but the servants of darkness will expel them from many fields of activity even where they bring the most benefit.             -Morya:  Supermundane 2, 1938
