Not fulfilling ones Word to the Teacher

A disciple is one who dedicates himself to the Teacher and makes a promise. For example, he promises to learn, to serve, to be silent. He promises to live for the upliftment of humanity, for spreading right human relations, to stand for Beauty, Goodness and Truth.Unless he makes such promises and gives his word of honor, he cannot admitted as a disciple.After he is admitted, an etheric thread comes into being, linking the Teacher and the disciple.This thread is severed if the disciple becomes an apostate and turns into a merchant of lies,darkness and hate or a merchant of exploitation.

When the thread is severed there is a wound in the person's etheric body. It is through such a wound that dark forces obsess and possess the apostate. It is a severe mistake to give oneself to the Teacher and deny him.Once a man enters the right path, he should not turn back.

The silver thread of Life and connection to the Teacher

The heart is the anchorage point of the silver thread.This thread is the communication line between you and your Teacher .This thread slowly extends to your Teacher as your dedication and sacrificial service for the Teaching increase.Every time you register the call of your Teacher, the building of the thread takes place, and eventually it becomes a sensitive communication line between His heart and yours.
We are told that through this communication line the wisdom and psychic energy of your Teacher reach you and flood your consciousness.
A cultivates heart becomes the treasury of the wisdom of your Teacher. You feel your heart embracing all living manifestations of life. The bliss and joy of your Teacher slowly flow into your nerves, and your life becomes creative.

Blessing Oneself

Before you sleep , you are going to bless yourself. You need to say a blessing before going to sleep because even though you are not going to physically walk, hear, speak, see of build anything, you are going to be blessing your subtle bodies so that you can participate in Ashramic Activities. You bless your subtle ears so that they can hear Ashramic conversations. Your feet will take you to the Ashrams. Your hands will be employed with the labor of the Great Ones. Your mouth will speak to different Ashramic members about wisdom. You bless the subtle bodies and then say , "Now I am going to sleep. In my sleep, while in my other bodies, I am going to do greater things."

Character Building and Incarnation

Character building actually takes many incarnations, not just one incarnation. Now a severe character flaw is of many many incarnations, has a tendency to , has a tendency to get carried over. Get carried over. Sometimes, extreme events has to take place in order to remove these weaknesses. Did I say something? Sometimes, extreme events has to take place in order to remove that weakness.

Protection:From the Heart

We are told that a golden-red light sometimes appears in the aura. This is called the “armor of the heart.” It is this light which destroys the attacks of the dark forces in the subtle planes.
The strongest and most powerful weapon against the dark forces is the golden-red light of the heart because it radiates the fire of life. We are told that the bodies of the dark forces consist of etheric, astral, and lower mental substance, and this substance cannot withstand the heat of the fire of the heart. If the heart glows, the psychic attacks of the dark forces can come no closer than three feet.
Often the light of the heart hits the attacker like an electrical shock and repels him. After each shock, the aura of the person gains in strength. Thus, the opposition evokes greater resources into action. In the aura, the heart plays the greatest role. Golden-red light is an electrical flame which ever stands on guard.

What time should the Teaching be read?

It may be asked—How many times should the Teaching be read? Answer—It is impossible to set limits for that which one loves. One may know it by heart, yet one may nevertheless wish to read it over again. When we memorize it we establish a certain rhythm, yet a new reading may give new enlightenment. It will not only enhance the understanding, but the very change of light on the book may bring a new approach. Therefore when I say—Read the Teaching both morning and evening—I have in mind different circumstances of time. One thing will be noticed in the morning while a completely different one will be apprehended by the evening fires. Understand this literally. Evening thought is distinguishable from the thought of the morning. One should compare the two.
As thought at evening is broadened by the light of the lamps, so does morning thought glow from contact with the Subtle World. Morning thought is strong not only as a result of rest, but also from contact with subtle energies. But evening thought is distinguished by the complete exaltation which is akin to living fire. Many suppose that they already know the Teaching when they have read it through once. But the best covenants remain unapplied, because people are unwilling to understand their polychromy. Thus, examine the crystal of the Teaching by sun and by firelight.
-Master Morya through Helena Roerich, Fiery World 2

Discipleship-Law of Evolution

How many of you want to be a disciple? Discipleship is not something that you want or do not want. Discipleship is the Law of Evolution. Sooner or later you are going to be a disciple. The currents of evolution are forcing you to go forward. It is better to go consciously forward now so that you have less friction to deal with later. It is better to go with the flow of evolution. If you stand still, you will be drowned. Now is the time to enter into the path of discipleship. There is no escape from it. You must understand this. Hiding your head under the sand like an ostrich does not work. The more you hide, the more you oppose the current of evolution, the more pain and suffering you are accumulating in your karma. This is why the Teaching is a must.

-Torkom Saraydarian,Discipleship In Action

Occult Significance of Speech

The greater the progress that is made along the path of approach to the Mysteries, the greater the care that must be taken by the aspirant (with speech). This is necessary for three reasons:

First, owing to his stage in evolution, he is able to enforce his words in a manner which would surprise him could he but see on the mental plane. He builds more accurately than the average men, his subsequent thought-form is more strongly vitalised, and it performs the function whereon it is sent by the "Sound" or speech with greater precision.

Second, any word spoken and consequent thought-form built (unless along the higher path and not based on personality impulses) is apt to cause a barrier of mental matter between a man and his goal. This matter or separating wall has to be dissipated before further advance can be made.

Third, speech is very largely a mode of communication on the physical levels; on the subtler levels whereon the worker stands, and in his communications with his fellow workers and chosen co-operators it will play an ever lessening part. Intuitive perception and telepathic interplay will distinguish the intercourse between aspirants and disciples.

If man succeeds in understanding the significance of speech, if he learns how to speak, when to speak, what is gained by speech, and what happens when he speaks, he is well on the way to achieving his goal.

Virtues

Virtues are manifestation of intuitional,atmic and monadic energies. When these virtues find expression through the personality , they turn into virtues.
Virtues are electrical lines that put man in contact with the powerhouse of the Cosmic Etheric Planes; namely the Buddhic, Atmic, Monadic and Divine Planes. A virtuous man is a man of power. He has energy because, through the manifestation of virtues,he is in contact with the higher realms.

You will notice that the more you want to exercise your virtue, the more obstacles appear on your path , sometimes to such a degree that you are tempted to give up, but remember "Blessed are the obstacles; through them we grow'. It is only through the victory over the obstacles that the meditated, visualized and dramatized virtue takes shape in your life and transforms your personality
