Letting Go in a Relation


When you sense ego in someone it is better to  escape than to continue a close relationship, unless you are powerful enough to be able to transform himinto a selfless person. If you continue a close relationship with an egotistical person, he will misuse your body, your time, your energy, your position, and your beauty. To such an egotistical person you have no value beyond feeding his ego. When you stop feeding his ego, he may consider you worthless and discard you. If you are not strong enough to clean his egowith your love, it is better to escape. Sometimes escape is the most intelligent thing to do because if the ego is stronger than your power to clean it, you will be dominated and enslaved. . . . 

Only you can decide what is the best action to take in your own relationship. If you see hope in your spouse, if you see a great jewel that will someday shine, it is worth the sacrifice. But if it is a hopeless case, sometimes it is better to prepare yourself for the possibility that the relationship will end.

New Age Discipleship

It is of importance that you realise that today something new is happening. There is the emergence of a new kingdom in nature, the fifth kingdom; this is the Kingdom of God on earth or the kingdom of souls. It is precipitating on earth and will be composed of those who are becoming group-conscious and who can work in group formation. This will be possible, because these people will have achieved a self-initiated perfection (even if relative in nature) and will be identified with certain group expansions of consciousness. It will also be because they have arrived at love of their fellowmen, just as they have loved themselves in the past. Think on this with clarity, my brothers, and grasp, if you can, the full significance of this last sentence.

Their work will largely be to summarise and make effective the work of those two great Sons of God, the Buddha and the Christ. As you know, One of Them brought illumination to the world and embodied the principle of wisdom, and the Other brought love to the world and embodied in Himself a great cosmic principle—the principle of love. How can the effectiveness of Their work be brought about? The process will follow three lines:

1. Individual effort, made by the individual disciple, using the technique of detachment, of dispassion and of discrimination which the Buddha taught.

2. Group initiation, made possible by the self-initiated effort of individual disciples, following out the injunctions of the Christ and leading to a complete subordination of the personality and of the unit to group interest and group good.

3. Group endeavour, carried forward as a group, to love all beings and to apprehend and understand the true significance of the Aquarian technique of group love and work.

Right Human Relations

There are two main principles upon which the
science of right human relations is built:
1. Every human being has a divine origin.
2. The highest potential of a human being can be released and cultivated only in right human relationships.
If we understand these two principles, we will gradually improve our relationships with our own
manifold nature, with other human beings, and with life in general.
As we depart from these two principles, we become more and more separative, antagonistic, and destructive. As we approach these two principles, we come closer to each other with increasing understanding and creativity.
Right human relationship is just like climbing a mountain. At the foot of the mountain, people can be miles apart from each other. But as they climb toward the summit they come closer and closer, until at the summit they meet.
As people climb to the summit of their divine origin, they discover not only their own divine
potential but also the beauty and glory hidden in other human beings.

Two Origins

The magnetism between a man's and woman's personality can be strong when they have opposing rays intelligently adjusted.
People are attracted or repulsed by various combinations of rays or polarities . We attract each other or repulse each other physically , emotionally, mentally, even spiritually. There are families who attract physically but repulse emotionally. They may attract or repulse mentally or attract and repulse spiritually. The normalization of friendship, family, and thus cooperation is based upon our polarity on all levels.
If we observe from a long range perspective we see that people, in each of their lives and in the cycles of their incarnations, are attracting and repulsing continuously until they are stabilizing themselves in their original polarization. As the development of human consciousness progresses, we will have more real females and real males. At the present, we are going through fruitless experimentation, suffering, and pain until we start living on the line of our orientation or origin.
