The aspirant must learn that all life is a balance, a giving and a receiving. Even the simplest of natural body functions ¾ breathing ¾ proves this irrefutable law. In desiring to master the laws that govern the Cosmos, humanity seem to feel that there is no such science of balance. In this they are so grievously mistaken! For instance, when an individual desires to become a candidate for the Ascension, from the moment he is accepted his activity is two-fold.

He is taught individual development and mastery but running parallel to all instruction so given is a requisite of service according to his capacities, developed consciousness and individual momentums.

Those who desire knowledge without the balance of "giving" either of life, service, substance or application, have no place even on the rolls of aspirant for training, leading to the sublimation of all selfishness and impurity. The yearly purification of the Earth, its atmosphere and its inhabitants, becomes a great opportunity to test the sincerity of the chelas.... the Aegean stables of Hercules soon separate the "wheat from the chaff" without necessity of individual selection upon Our part.

On Grace

February 1955

Grace is humility, loving kindness, tolerance, spiritual tenderness, understanding. It is difficult to maintain a positive pressure of qualified energy which enables one to drive a pattern through to successful fulfillment and yet remain within a state of Grace. Yet, I did this and so did My Mother before Me. Those who have not yet felt the stirrings of Grace within them will not understand these words but the few who do will become the invoking power of that Grace, particularly through the chelas and students at this present time. This will be a secret, silent, unheralded Order in which those who know something of Grace will invoke and draw the Presence of Grace through the other. Without Grace, no spiritual Order nor Movement can survive.
