You have acceded to my request, my brother, and I believe see now the reason for my method of training you. The love aspect of your soul has been released somewhat, though some of the inner fret for the outward achievement still remains and hinders you on the way of realization. One thing I would remind you and this perhaps will answer some of your questions. I view the achievement of my group of disciples from the point of the average of the group effect and not so much from the success or the non-success of its units. That result and success must, also, demonstrate sequentially as it comes into manifestation. The first sphere of focus was on mental levels. There you are unable to judge for yourself of its success or non-success, for you have not, as yet, developed mental vision. I tell you that the group already exists as a working factor on those levels and that [107] perhaps is much. Its note is sounding and its influence is being organized. It will in the next few years organize itself also an astral levels, on the emotional plane, and you must bear in mind that here all forms are in danger of succumbing to the Great Illusion. These years will, therefore, be critical in the group life and this must be borne carefully in mind. No one in the group must permit himself to be glamored.

All this you are sensing, my brother, and this should indicate to you your progress in subjective sensitivity. Later, a group relationship will be established and a group accomplishment stabilized which will warrant attention from the world of men. Waste not time in anxiety as to the phenomenal achievement. That must inevitably come if the fiery aspiration of each of you and the power to persist is steadfastly nurtured.

You can now resume more active meditation and a breathing exercise which I will give to you. In your meditation seek to keep the whole process in the head and remember that for you the problem is to become an "extrovert of the heart type" instead of being, as you are, an "introvert of the head type." Therefore, for you the way of release is the way of Love and the note of love should color all your meditation. Proceed therefore carefully to follow all instructions, remembering that, for you, I seek to avoid all emphasis on the form side. The subject of your meditation could be summed up in the following phrases:

"I pledge myself to the Path of Love. I demand of my soul that I, the Spirit in form, shall act as a channel for compassion and an instrument for love until I know myself to be Love itself. I am that Love. With pure intent I serve. This love and zeal in me must feed the aspiration of my fellowmen. To this - in knowledge full - I pledge myself."
