Do What Needs To Be Done

[QUOTING]

We have compared the microcosm with the macrocosm and found that man, too, is surrounded by a magnetic spirit-field, a radiation field, a firmament, and that the personality constitutes the microcosmic planet. Now, if you want to bring this whole system back, reborn and strong, to its Original Home, freed from the grip of your lipika, from the reflection-sphere and from the incidental death of this nature-order, then you will need first of all to withdraw it from a world which is not in accordance with the Divine Law. Secondly, you will need to withdraw it from an attitude and a way of life which are not in accordance with the Divine Nature. The Spiritual School will not be satisfied with anything less. This is a self-evident, very rational and simple requirement. In this way you will leave the house of bondage and be led into the New Life.

So you will see that the key to the Path is present in your own soul-being and that you yourself are able to turn that key without any difficulty. That is why we have but one piece of advice to offer you: direct your entire being towards stimulating the Christ intermediary, which is there for you also, to activity within your system, so that the heavenly focal point* can develop again into a Christ-radiation field. This must receive the highest priority in everything you do.

* the Divine Spark

This process of Liberation must start at the very foundation of your being, and it lies entirely in your own hands. Observe yourself closely. Are you really reflecting spontaneously on the things of the New Life? Is your heart directed towards the Christ radiation power? Are your deeds, without any forcing on your part, in conformity with the Life you are longing to enter?

In this way you will empty your three sanctuaries (head, heart, pelvis) of the old nature, thus opening up the Path and making the Brotherhood notice you. Then the focus of the New Life will be resurrected, and will draw the Universal Life-Substance vigorously into your microcosm so that It can carry out Its sanctifying, liberating task. Then, over the soul-garment, the Garment of the Universal Spirit will spread Itself, and out of this the microcosm will be able to live and act.

The pupil who has lived through his path of self-sacrifice in this way enters into the unity of the New Life. He experiences and comes to know the freedom of the children of God. He is linked with the pure, Universal Love. He is truly man and truly God.

If you have a knowledge of Christ, you will understand these words. May God grant that we may meet one another in the ranks of the Redeemed.

[END QUOTING]

Remember that the Christ is not a personality that walked among men 2,000 years ago, but an impersonal, Divine light-radiation that is not-of-this-world, emanating from the Sixth Cosmic Domain. It is the Divine astral substance that we must attract into our microcosm in order to purify and rebuild our soul vehicles.

It is here with us, nearer than hands and feet. It surrounds us and penetrates us. But this Divine light-radiation will pass through us like a sieve unless we make the changes necessary to attract and assimilate It. This will require that we turn away from the natural life and turn our focus to a New Life.
