Money and Pranic Energy

Money is related to Pranic Energy, and as prana, it has three characterestics of TAMAS, RAJAS AND SATTVA. This means that the money can be used or acquired through tamasic ways-through the means of inertia; it can be acquired through the means of motion-rajas; or through the means of sattva-rhythm.
The way you spend money has a great influence upon the construction and the material of your etheric body. If you are spending money in tamasic ways, you are channeling to your system tamasic energy. If you are spending in rajasic ways, you are absorbing rajasic energy. If you are spending it in sattvic ways, you are channeling sattvic energy into your system.
Similarly, the way you acquire money is very important. You may acquire it by tamasic means such as selling drugs or killing people. This brings you inertia, and your subtle centers close and eventually become inactive.
You may acquire money by Rajasic means, for example by selling liquor or prostitution or lying or cheating. This creates great force and conflicting energies in your system.
You may acquire money by sattvic means such as honest labor, creative arts, or by using your education or talent through honest means. This brings joy, rhythm, and harmony into your nature, and you enjoy the wealth you have.
Many people do not enjoy the money they accumulate. It becomes either a burden on their shoulders or a means for their moral and spiritual downfall; but when acquired by sattvic means, it brings peace , harmony, enjoyment and unfoldment.
THE MONEY THAT CIRCULATES FROM HAND TO HAND CARRIES THESE ENERGIES. IT IS WISE TO BLESS MONEY BEFIRE YOU PUT IT INTO YOUR POCKET BECAUSE BLESSING CHANGES THE VIBRATIONS OF THE MONEY AND MAKES IT MORE RHYTHMIC WHEN ACQUIRED BY RIGHT MEANS.

Merging our Thought Process with that of our Master

THE Master proceeds to explain that when you become a pupil of one of the great Masters "you may always try the truth of your thought by laying it beside His". He explains that the pupil is one with the Master, and only needs to put back his thought into the Master's to see at once whether it agrees. This remark obviously does not apply to pupils yet on probation, but only to those whose consciousness is in some wonderful way blended with that of their Master. Many people have said to me that they cannot understand how this laying of the thought beside that of the Master can be accomplished. The only explanation I can think of is that the pupil who is accepted by the Master may always listen, if he will, to the great harmony which the Master sends forth into the world. Any thought the pupil has either harmonises with the Master's harmony, or is a discord, and in this way the pupil somehow feels whether his thought is true or not. If it is true it gives him a sense of fuller life, and causes him, as it were, to glow throughout his being. If the thought is not true, it gives him a sense of discomfort and of being ill at ease. He feels, in some way, out of tune with things, and intuitively knows that he is not as genuine as he ought to be. Probably most people have this feeling in greater or lesser degree. At a certain stage when conscience becomes active, we know in a general way what thoughts are constructive and what thoughts are destructive in our nature. We have certain ideals, and we know, at least, whether we are, on the whole, living up to these ideals or not. Indeed such people may always ask the question: " What would the Master think about this ? What would the Master say or do under these circumstances ?" But the pupil of the Masters has these feelings with very much greater intensity, and the only way in which I can describe the difference between the thought which harmonises and the thought which does not, is by telling you that the former gives a sense of freshness and clearness, while the latter causes a clouded and uncomfortable sensation. It is of course possible to be so immersed in one's thoughts and actions as to shut oneself off from the Master's consciousness, and very often thoughtlessly think or do or feel things which do not make us feel nearly as uncomfortable as they ought to, because we do not take the trouble to test them in the light of the Master's consciousness.

Be careful not to Make fun of Divine Names

For some leaders it is relatively easy not to slander people, but there is a form of slander into which they fall very easily and joyfully. This kind of slander is directed towards the great Ones in the form of telling anecdotes , jokes , stories or remarks . For example, some leaders tell funny stories about Saint Peter, Saint Paul, Moses, Jesus, or Mohammed to entertain without knowing that it is a deeply slanderous action. Playinng with the name of a Great One is recorded as a heavy slander because it denotes lack of respect and devotion and the presence of light-mindedness and vanity. Another form of slander is to use sacred words such as the Hierarchy or Shamballa as jokes or in stories. Examples must not be mentioned here , but one can easily see and hear many such kinds of slander.
HOLY AND SACRED NAMES MUST BE PRONOUNCED WITH THIE GREATEST RESPECT, SPOKEN SOFTLY AND WITH GREAT DEVOTION. In my many years of service, I have noticed students who made jokes with Sacred Names were eventually thrown out of their fields of service, and misfortune followed their steps. Solemnity is an act of highest act of Respect to Those is Highest Realms and to the Holy Ones and sacred names related to spiritual centers and locations. Lack of respect to Holy Ones and holy places is a sign of degeneration. Leaders must to be examples of solemnity , nobility, and simplicity.
ONE MUST ALSO BE CAREFUL NOT SLANDER HIS OWN INNER DIVINITY OR HIS TEACHER. THOSE WHO SLANDER THEIR INNER DIVINITY AND THEIR TEACHER PAY HEAVY TAXATION IN COMING YEARS AND LIVES.

Understanding the Teacher

Hasten, hasten to understand the Teacher! Let us encircle Him with a protective wall of devotion and thereby enclose ourselves within the stronghold. After you have wandered enough you will come to understand that with the Teacher, there is always success. Where defeat occurs, there has been betrayal of the Teacher. Where defeat is, it is we ourselves who have bent and rent and razed the goal-fitting plan. In defeat, we have turned away from the tested arrow of help. Can we assert that in the hour of danger we will proclaim the Name of the Teacher? Can we bear witness to the Teacher's Name? Can we discover the exultation of gratitude to the Teacher? Or, on the other hand, do we sometimes wonder why the Teaching does not accommodate our habits, and why our inactivity is disturbed by the Teaching? Why we are awakened from our self-justifying sleep?
      
      Gratitude and devotion flourish joyously in Our Community. If Our conduit brings word to Us that a co-worker thinks he has sacrificed something in the name of the Teaching, this would compel Us to reject his cooperation. Our co-workers know both how to receive and to give. When you spread Our Teaching do not shout in the square, but simply offer a smile to the approaching ones. Those who come voluntarily will accept the Teacher. But he who is ensnared will gnaw at his chains. We expect joy, and accept only the wondrous flower of devotion. Let us hasten to understand the Teacher!
      
      Affirm success; affirm joy; affirm understanding of progress. Cast away the thoughts that belong to the old world. I shall not tire of repeating this.

Having intense expreiences during Meditation

The dirtiest part of the aura is in the lower part, in the feet area. What the Lord Jesus meant is, “If you do not let me purify you, you cannot be my disciple.” (John 13: 8) That is the purpose of the washing of the feet. When you do Meditation on Twin Hearts, you can have a basin of water and salt and you can put some ylang-ylang or sandalwood incense, and maybe 5 to 10 drops of sandalwood oil into the water and salt, so when you do Meditation on Twin Hearts, the lower part of your aura is becoming clean. Once the lower part of your aura has been cleaned, you can fly in the inner world. When you do this regularly, what will happen is that when you sleep, your dream becomes vivid or when you meditate, when you have inner experiences, it becomes better because you are no longer pulled down by the dirty energy in your aura, in your astral body.

Looking ahead to the Future

It is wise to draw a line between past and future. It is impossible to calculate all that has been done—it is incommensurable. It is better to say “Yesterday is past; let us learn how to meet a new dawn.” We all grow, and our works are expanding with us. After twenty-seven years no one is a youth, and we all can then understand the achievement of Service. It is unworthy to rummage in yesterday's dust. Henceforth let us establish a new step. Let us begin to labor, surrounding ourselves with a thousand eyes. Let us acquire purity of thought and co-measurement of actions. Thus let us fill our days; let us become used to mobility and decisiveness. Likewise, let us not forget that there is nothing on Earth higher than the given Plan for the Common Good. Let us manifest understanding of the Teachings of life. As Moses brought forth human dignity, as Buddha impelled toward the broadening of consciousness, as Christ taught the good of giving, so now the New World is directed toward the far-off worlds! Ponder, what comparisons surround us! Ponder about the cornerstone. Reflect about the given path. Ponder how the boundaries of the Cosmos touched you. Recall the steps of wondrous tensions not in a book but in life. Reflect that so much has not been taken up and absorbed and yet you stand in your place. Therefore, be not disheartened by mistakes, but ascend by the Hierarchy of the Teaching.
