Discipleship in the New Age I - Personal Instructions to Disciples - R.S.U.
January 1936 The only thing which I seek to do for you at this time, my brother, is to give you a meditation which I will ask you to carry forward until further notice. I will give you also six seed thoughts for meditation. Otherwise my earlier injunctions to you hold good and your future usefulness in the coming spiritual expansion is dependent upon your careful attention to self-forgetfulness, the right use of love (enabling you to love more easily. Please study my last communication to you on this subject) and attention to practical, loving, efficient, regular service. Your progress in the outer expression of your inner knowledge has been needlessly slow. Given a right and more focused attitude, you could leap forward into clearer light and more efficient living. This oft I have told you. Your keynote for the future is discipline and again discipline. The reduction of the physical body to your will through the imposition of a pronounced ordered rhythm is your way out into liberation. It is, therefore, a question whether you care enough for the results possible to make the needed adjustments and impose the required disciplinary measures. What these are, you also know. Are they not simply the enforcing of certain rules of daily living which are so simple that they fail to evoke your will? It is the evocation of a dynamic will which I wish to bring about by the following suggested meditation. After effective alignment and the centering of the consciousness in the mind, then proceed as indicated below: O. M. Sound this as the soul, in its own world, using the creative imagination as you do so. Sound the O. M. again as the soul, imposing its purpose upon the mind Sound the O. M. as the soul, controlling the desire body. Sound the O. M. as the soul, energizing by its will force the etheric body. Sound the O. M. again but this time with the cooperation of the personality, galvanizing the physical [365] body into right action. Do all this very slowly and thoroughly with a full, consecrated thought upon each of the five stages. Then visualize the entire lower nature as being gathered up into the consciousness of the soul. Then meditate for fifteen minutes (not more) upon the following six seed thoughts. This entire meditation is intended to be dynamic and brief. It can, if so used, break through obstructions and "clear the way" for the inflow of your dynamic but hitherto ineffective will. 1st month - My soul has purpose, power and will. These three are needed on the Way of Liberation. 2nd month - My soul must foster love among the sons of men. This is its major purpose. I, therefore, will to love and tread the Way of Love. 3rd month - The purpose of my soul must show itself through burning. That which obstructs and hinders must disappear before the power of God. That power am I. I, therefore, tread the Way unto the Burning Ground. There hindrances disappear. 4th month - My will is one with the great will of God. That will is mine today upon the planes of earth. It leads to service and my Master's group. I, therefore, tread the Way of Service after the festival of burning. 5th month - dedicate myself to the purpose of the plan. I have no purpose but the will of God. I seek no other way but the Way of Divine Fulfilment. I lose myself within the group which seeks the furtherance of the plan. 6th month - The Way of Sacrifice is eternally the Way of Joy. The Way of Joy leads to the Place of Peace. The peace of God is only [366] found in losing sight of self and seeing naught but that which must be done an done today.
