THE MESSAGE OF THE MASTER

My dear junior brothers and disciples!

So, one more year of your life at the School is over. It has really been testing, and can be seen as a turning point, but you have managed to overcome many things and to pass through the narrow gateway to the next stage of evolution. The One Man of the School, as a result of this year's work, has started a new phase of his initiation growth of the consciousness within the framework of the 7th Ray School-Ashram, and revealed his new possibilities of the internal Path of the Soul. This fact again testifies that the School is living and developing as an integral Hierarchic Organism that enters a new stage of its spiritual development.

Realize that you live on the Earth during an exceptionally important period, a critical period, when the programme of the long-term Hierarchic Intention is to be changed in its very essence, which will result in a conscious transition of the human mind and form to a new principle of existence. It is very important, therefore, that you shift the emphasis from the moment of your survival and existence in the form of egregorial self-contained structures, to the active self-realization not only in the internal sphere, but also in the external, social one, by means of interacting with the active centres of Moscow and the Temple of Russia where the actual work aimed at the transformation of the sphere of the outer life is performed. Make a wider use of the opportunities of your social center, nourish it with the best energies of your organism and go fearlessly into the world, to the people, and carry to them the Truth of the Universal Teaching of the New Age.

Realize the immense activity of the higher Centres of the Sun and the Planet, their interconnection and unity, generated by the powerful radiation of the Sun and the higher Planets, which is being sent to the Earth at the moment. Uranus's entrance in the 3rd field, which is completed this year, stimulates all processes of the spirit-matter in the specific form of its self-aware self-revelation. Besides, the full and stable sojourn of Saturn in the Cancer, or in the 7th field, materializes all your high aspirations in the solid matter of physical actions and deeds, in which you should display the maximum of the human spirit, by being the Path and revealing it to the others.

Remember that you are the ones who are to become the foundation of the new Teaching, here and in your place. Therefore each step that you make trying to pursue the attractions of the day, will have a certain impact on the future generations of your disciples. You should answer to yourself for each hour and each minute that you spend off the Path, for you are responsible for the spiritual future of your brotherhood. Ask yourself frankly: am I pursuing the Truth and the Light on the Path, or have I simply fallen into the habit of complying with the rules and the mode of life accepted in the School? Is not my inner Source of Love empty within my heart? Do I have enough energy in my physical body, am I exercising it enough to be able to go down the steep slope and then to ascend the mountain of the coming year?

In any tiredness - that of the Soul, mind, heart or body - you should see the sign that your Source of Light is going out, that you no longer live in it, since you have been taking it for granted, as something that every moment gives you the ability to satisfy the spiritual need of your form. Halt at this moment of the approaching New Year and realize the Sacrament and the Miracle of your being here, close to the Source of Power and the Ashram Reality. Purify and restore the living connection through the spiritual stigmata of the internal blood of your heart, the burning torch of Reason and Spirit, with the Higher Life that stands above you and within you, always waiting for your spiritual effort, co-creativity and merging in the union with the Supreme Goal of His Life in the Brotherhood of the Light Hierarchy.

Remember the high goal for the sake of which you have come into this world, shake off the burden of the form you have accumulated, throw it away, just like in some European countries people throw old things out of the window, and perceive here and now the Beginning of the New Year, as the beginning of a new phase of the Path that will lead you without fail to a new result, a more perfect one, at the end of the next cycle. May your life become permanent self-renovation in each step of a day, a week, a month, a quadrant, a half of a year. May you not be discouraged by the obstacles in your life, for there is no such obstacle that could stop a disciple from moving if he knows the goal and is merged with the Path. May each day of your life become the life-giving power of the Great Father that gives birth to you as to the One Son of Man, and through the Great Mother -accomplishes by YOU its Way of externalization and evolution of the Spirit in the matter, as the great cycle of the Year of Shiva and a great experience in your life.

May you be blessed.

Your Senior Brother and Master.
