Maxims for the Aquarian Age III


Final installment of "Maxims for the Aquarian Age" from The New Call. Each of these maxims are discussed and explained in detail in the full text of TNC. Most are self-explanatory. All are helpful.

[QUOTE]

Channelling (mediumship) constitutes a definite distraction to real spiritual attainment.

• Due to the extant ignorance of mankind and the intensity of the period, channelling today is proving itself to be more often a curse than a gift.

One basic truth is often used as a foundation for a whole pile of deception.

Earnest and intelligent seeking is the essential first step toward revelation and spiritual success.

• The very act of seeking sets natural forces in motion that greet the seeker in order to impart certain 'secrets' which that individual may be ready to behold; Life responds as if to an invitation.

Humble seeking is an integral and inseparable part of the New World Consciousness.

• In demanding the attention of the Spirit, loving service is the great nemesis of the ego, for it threatens its very existence.

• In serving the Spirit in all we shall find that our own highest needs are met by way of such service.

The path of spiritual service is the most splendid, noble and holy way; it is the Royal Road for which all other disciplines are but preparatory.

• If there ever was one solution to absolutely every problem throughout mankind's history, all the way up to the present and on into Eternity, it must surely be. . . serve, and keep serving; give, and never stop giving.

• Generally, the most valuable service that may be rendered today in this unique period is to spread the vital truth of the times.

• When we cease in our seeking for ourselves alone, and when in knowing greater freedom from the burdens created by personal desire we are able to demonstrate compassion and goodwill to others, we open a channel for the Love of Spirit to flow through us.

Service is love in action.

• Service may be said to be the most supreme meditation, for it is the one great and eternal Meditation that endures within the Heart of the Universe itself.

• All who would cross the threshold between the old and the New and emerge into the magnificence of the New World must possess a genuine love of others and, therefore, an attitude that naturally impels their wish to be of service.

• The divine Helpers of the race can do little more for men than they would do for other men.

• Upon selflessly and appropriately sharing with others that which has been revealed to us, more is given from within.

• In the times ahead, all that which is held to oneself, anything that is not offered selflessly in service to others, and everything which is not contributed toward the One Divine Work upon Earth will be taken away.

• If it is to be known at all, the real turmoil during the coming times will be experienced from within, and not from outer conditions.

• As long as our objectives lie within the material plane, we shall necessarily be wholly subject to the laws which pertain to the physical world.

• If our personal desires can be sublimated by right understanding, we shall possess a great deal more ability to lift ourselves beyond the physical plane and its conditions.

• All those of humanity who aspire to take their rightful place before the presently widening portal of spiritual opportunity that leads into the magnificence of the New World, should ensure today that they are aware, dedicated, actively useful and so prepared.

• Opportunity has been given by those invisible Servants of the race upon the inner side of life, and they now await humanity's active and positive response to their call.

[END QUOTING]

These maxims, and their origin, represent an example of one such Opportunity. It is hoped that one will recognize, accept, and ultimately pass on to others of like mind, the Loving Service that has been offered.

All Love,
