2. So wary are people of the unusual that they are confused about the boundaries of light and darkness. It is simpler for them to conceive of God inhabiting a palace upon the largest star….Their manifest lack of co-measurement impels them to demean what exists.
4. Regarding simpler words for simple people one should remember that simple people need smaller doses of medicine. There is the identical law--as above, so below. Therefore simple people are the best disseminators.
8. One can point out why the Teachers of Knowledge experienced such suffering on departing Earth. Of course this suffering was conscious and voluntarily chosen. Just as the host fills the guest’s cup to the brim so does the Teacher desire to impress this last sign of his Teaching.
The poisoning of Buddha spared him from deification. The suffering and resurrection--or ttransformation of matter--by Christ illustrated attainment of the supreme earthly achievement. But no one knew about the disintegration of the body into the atomic state. People thought that his body had been stolen away by his disciples.
11. Victory to you, daring deeds! For mighty-winged deeds outweigh all wrongdoing. Lord, grant me to cast into the flames the deceptive rags of the ordinary. I shall not err in realizing that winged daring has Thy blessing. In the sacred furnace will I forge the wings of Alaya (infinite soul). I know nothing of complaints, cruelty or aught that could weigh down my new wings. New will be my song!

7-16-1935 …in The Mahatma Letters “As water develops the heat of caustic lime so does the Teaching bring into fierce action every unsuspected potentiality latent in him [the aspirant].”…
But an entirely organized camp of the Brothers of Darkness began to function in Atlantis (and Lemuria) during the fourth (root) race. Their great battle with the Sons of Wisdom, or Light, ended in “victory” for the latter and in the destruction of Atlantis (and Lemuria).
At the head of the Sons of Light stands the Archangel Michael. His adversary in the camp of darkness is Satan (who still bears the name, Lucifer, although he lost the right to this name long ago); at one time he was amongst the great Kumaras who bestowed the light of Mind upon the poor Earth-dwellers who lacked it….
But of course the great Teachers knew the difficult karma of humanity and the planet. They knew of the threatening danger….Being initiates They knew that this catastrophe could become the Last Day, owing to the terrible downfall of spirituality in the human race. Quite possibly there may not be a sufficient amount of high counteracting, or rather, discharging energies to save the planet from a final gigantic explosion….A strong spirit can save a whole area from earthquake. Thus in ancient days the great Teachers sent their advanced disciples to places threatened by earthquakes….
Many naive people think that the dark ones act only through evil, corruption and crime. How wrong they are! Only crude and relatively insignificant forces act in this way. Much more dangerous are those who masquerade under the light of the Teaching. Ignorance and lack of intuition push many into the arms of darkness and deprive them for a long time, if not forever, of the salutary influence and attraction of the rays of the great stronghold of Light. …
The Prince of the World has very many talented collaborators--some conscious, some unconscious--and it is foolish to think that they do not know the ways of the most cunning subtlety. They are very shrewd and inventive, and they act according to the level of their victims. But all of them lack tolerance and warmth of heart. Thus intertwined is darkness with Light on our Earth.
The snare of darkness is woven by skillful hands. Many terrifying things are now practiced in the world. A great deal of the most disgusting sorcery is spread all over Earth. Of course the biggest centers of population are usually chosen by the main dark forces and are used as their centers. And their best weapon is the ignorant masses. That is why the unity of all the white (light) and near-white forces is so essential! But the latter so easily become greyish and fill the ranks of those of whom it is said in the Apocalypse “because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Only the power of devotion and striving to serve the great Hierarchy of Light can save from the widely spread snares of the Prince of the World….
But the path of Service is still more difficult since this is the path of achievement which requires complete self-denial. You may think that our life is easy, but if you knew the reality your heart would speak differently. In order to bear the entire burden of awesome responsibility and ever-growing difficulties I affirm myself every day in joy and readiness to face the most difficult.
And now more than ever the world needs spiritual toilers and heroes, now in the threatening days of Armageddon. But I do not summon anyone, and you should not call the spiritually immature because an excessive burden is not useful….it is impossible to expect immediate fiery achievements and a fiery transmutation of (chakra) centers if the Teaching is applied spasmodically. The occult laws are exact and unfailing.
