The exchange with the new friend from the Pacific coast of Colombia which started Mid-January went on for a time in an intense dialog. This was partly with insertions in previous e-mails, partly with personal aspects that I will omit here. Here are some extracts, my comments partly being from insertions into what she had written before.
And again the first two photos are from her – the following pictures are from the spring equinox meeting at the Paracelsus Center near Einsiedeln, Switzerland.
She: “I have seen the part you wrote about meditations and morning and evening prayer, but I would like to include all this in my days like something regular and not just a random day like I did before…”
Me: “This is very important and the basis for all progress. Only when you have reached a certain stability, you can slowly grow in becoming useful for the Plan.”
She: “I know what I’m trying to do or what I have read is not even the 1% of what I need to know and practice but like you said, ‘It’s something that grows with the time’…”
Me: “Yes, Master Morya says, ‘Make haste slowly’. The basis of all the activity is the alignment with the energies which we connect with morning and evening prayer / meditation. In case you are interested to know more, let me know.”
She: “I’m interested indeed…. I tried to collaborate with xx and yy last year but they didn’t admit me because ….”
Me: “When some doors do not open, something else is waiting for you. As per orientation and spiritual path, feel free to ask any questions you would like to. I will respond to what you are seeking, and little to what I think.”
She: “These days I’m trying to put order in my life… doing some exercise every day, reading spiritual books every day, going to bed at the same time, trying to respect my time and paying attention to my thoughts… This sounds like a few words but it takes a lot of effort because matter is very dense and has a lot of inertia.”
Me: “You are absolutely right, it is described as ‘hammering the rock’ of our personality – to carve out the beautiful form of the vehicle of the soul. It takes time. And most important is to have an attitude of seeing where one can be of help for the surroundings. This is the basis of any spiritual work, building up a rhythm and following, without ‘feeling’ that ‘I have to follow it’ – just doing it naturally.”
She: “My parents baptized me as catholic but my father always mentioned as a saying ‘The high enlightened beings exist in other planes’ so even if my parents hid their books I always found them so I have read spiritual books since I was 13…”
Me: “You have incarnated at a worthy place! I also was brought up in a very catholic family in Northern Germany, feeling in my youth that I did not find satisfying explanations for life and my spiritual search there.”
She: “Even if I have studied some spiritual fields I just took it as theory but without practice. … Since the last year I have been feeling the sensation of doing the combination of reading and experiencing the spiritual field, otherwise this incarnation might be a waste of time….”
Me: “Again, a most essential realisation – and when it is a call to practice, it is like an awakening – only things we put into practice become part of us. My spiritual journey started early but it was a ‘long and winding road’. …
As per feeling fulfilled, it will come through the alignment with and dedication to Hierarchy and accepting what life offers as needed commitment. This might be, for you also, a ‘seeming divide’ between spirituality work, a (future?) family, job, friends…. In synthesis, there is no such divide. Master CVV – from where the WTT teachings are inspired – says that “My way is living 200%” – he was a mayor of a South Indian city and a great occultist. For me, reading his biography, by Master KPK, was like a thunderclap. Also the biography of Master EK, the teacher of Master KPK.
If you want to collaborate, please let me know your skills, interests, maybe something about your (spiritual) background. And if it becomes concrete, I would need to know availability, endurance, observing the quality of work.”
She: “Well, to answer I will do a mixture of my professional and spiritual experience. (I know professional experience its not necessary but I will mention it just to explain more about my life)….”
Me: “The professional part is as important as any other part. Spirituality is nothing ‘aside’ of the rest of our life; we need to stand firmly in some activity, which is a means for livelihood and for expressing ourselves into a service to society. This is more a question of attitude than of doing anything big….
Your selection of profession has to do with your energy setup and ‘dharma’ / duty. It is very good to continue in this direction as per main professional orientation. Master Kumar became a chartered accountant, and developed a big enterprise on Indian top level performance and reach – while his main focus remained with meditation and wisdom teaching, without neglecting family and social responsibilities. He is a great role model for me and it helped me while in the past I had to balance with family, job and service activities in the spiritual domain.
So for the spiritual path it is very good and important to have a firm stand with an activity in the physical – and thus being financially independent. All really hierarchical activities / in tune with the Plan, are free volunteer activities.”
