DEARLY BELOVED: 

When one looks at the magnificent structure of a suspension bridge, he sees the supports which hold it in place and thinks of the strength of the material which comprises it. Further, he knows that the substance is not rigid, but pliable, in order that it may cooperate with the elements as well as the weight which it must carry, which, of course, varies with the traffic and weather conditions. 

Now, let us take the nature of man. It must be strong to withstand the effluvia and the karma with which it is buffeted from time to time. The nature of man has been created by his own fashioning of thoughts and deeds and the various concepts which he has stored up through the centuries. One day this nature must be taken into consideration as to how it measures up with the Divine Nature of the Christ Presence, and the necessary steps must then be taken through the use of the Sacred Fire for the changing of the patterns which have been built into the lower vehicles, in order that the sojourns on the Planet will result in building into his nature the God Virtues which are his destiny to express. 

In the case of the chela, particularly when he realizes his purpose in the evolutionary plan, if he will not be pliable, and is rigid in his dealings with others, inflicting upon them his way of doing things, when governed by the lower self, much discord will result in his 'stanchions', and the supports of his 'bridge of light' will be weakened. If he shuts his consciousness and will not listen to the ideas of others, he runs the risk of the 'opinionated' who believes himself - the lower consciousness - to be without error or flaw, and this seriously retards his own Spiritual progress. When he learns to Love all life from the Divine Premise, he will be tolerant and invoke the Christ Self to separate the wheat from the chaff and in this way will further his Spiritual Evolution. 

As we of the Spiritual Hierarchy have repeatedly counseled, the wise chela will insulate himself in the Mantle of Light upon arising, asking always that the Christ Self be the only acting Presence in his being and world. If this is done continually, the lower self will recede and the Christ will be in control, and this will bring about greater harmony, not only in his world, but in that of others with whom he associates, be it in business, religious activity, or in his home and affairs. 

BEND THE KNEE of the lower self to the Divine Presence 'within and reap the rich harvest of Spiritual Gifts waiting to be released from your own glorious Causal Body.

Love and Blessings,

THE MAHA CHOHAN
