Discipleship in the New Age I - Personal Instructions to Disciples - K.E.S.
May 1936 MY BROTHER: I have watched over you with a good deal of close attention during the past four months. I realize that your major need at this time is increased physical vitality far more than the virtues, characteristics and realizations usually regarded as spiritual. Some day, the sons of men will come to the understanding and recognition that all the modes of being, of expression and of contact are spiritual and of equal importance to the observing, contacting soul. This, I would ask you to remember and strive to realize. You have two things, my brother and my friend, to do during the next few months. One is to establish and hold a closer recollecting contact with your soul. That contact is already made and upon that assurance you can depend and rest back. But I would ask you to bring that realization into your every day consciousness by counting on it and by availing yourself of the resources and strength which you possess, particularly when endeavoring to be of assistance to others. The second thing I would ask you to do is to follow a breathing exercise I will give you. I shall not tell you its objective as we will let the physical [549] results take care of themselves without any mental impress from you... Keep busy, my brother, about the affairs of the Great Ones. You can do much by thought and pen to aid your brothers to work with greater power in the outer world. You must work from a quiet inner center; it is not your task to struggle with the forces of life in the market place of life - if I might be permitted to speak thus symbolically. Know you not that we - the teachers on the inner side - need those whose lives can be shielded from the rougher contacts of life through whom we can work? If some of our aspirants and disciples in the tortured countries of the world could grasp this fact, they would not struggle so against the outer physical conditions in which they find themselves. They would live with quietness, developing increasing sensitivity to our impression and would wield greater power through rightly directed thought. Ponder on this. Your mental body is on the fourth Ray of Harmony through Conflict, as you may have suspected. This facilitates contact with and impression from your second ray soul. This will become increasingly apparent to you as you learn to focus yourself in your mind. You will, therefore, bring in a fuller tide of soul force as time elapses. Your astral body is on the sixth Ray of Devotion or Idealism. This accounts for much in your life interests, which provides opportunity for service and indicates certain lines of impressionability. These require watching and necessitate correct interpretation. Upon this suggestion, I would ask you to ponder, remembering that when the astral body is upon the sixth ray there is necessarily established a line of least resistance between it and the sixth plane, for you have the sixth vehicle, the sixth plane, and the sixth ray all closely related. Students would do well to bear these relationships in mind, for the lines of least resistance are seldom the lines to be followed. Yet, at times, they are. Hence the need for discriminating consideration. Your physical body is on the seventh Ray of Ceremonial Order or Magic, and hence your interest in spiritualism, for one thing, and hence also your choice of a life profession, for another. Hence also the facility with which you could establish [550] and hold a steady contact between soul-mind-brain. You have much with which to work and for the remainder of your life should remember this. There is much you can do to increase your ability to unfold continuity of consciousness between the various planes. I would commend this thought to your close attention.
