Excerpts from the Tibetan's
Instructions to Disciples
The Six Rules of
the Path (Rules of the Road)
What is this occult obedience, my
brothers, about which we hear so much? Not what many occult
groups make it out to be. It is not the control of an external
organisation, dedicated to so-called occult work. It is not the
imposed conditions of any teacher of any rank. It is not the
exchange of the prison of one set of ideas for those of another
set with perhaps a larger range or import. A prison is a prison,
whether it is a tiny cell or an isolated island of vast extent,
from which escape is impossible.
The authority to which we, the
teachers on the inner side, respond is twofold in nature, and to
it you are just beginning (as units in a group) to respond. To
what do you respond?
1. To the slowly emerging
realisation of the "light beyond," using that phrase as a
symbol. This light is different in its appealto
the individual. Yet it is ONE LIGHT. But its recognition reveals
new laws, new responsibilities, new duties and obligations, and
new relations to others. These constitute an authoritative
control. None can escape this authority, but can disobey it in
time and space and for a temporary period.
2. To the authority of theRules
of the Roadwhich
are imposed upon one as one passes from the Path of Probation on
to the Path of Discipleship. Yet it is ONE ROAD. Upon this
"narrow, razor-edged path," one learns to walk with discipline
and discretion andwith
the desirelessness which one experiences in unison with one's
fellow disciples.
What, briefly and succinctly, are
these rules of the Road? Let me give you six of the simplest
rules, begging you to remember that they are not authoritatively
imposed by an arbitrary Board of Directors, such as a group
teacher or teachers (of whom I might, of course, be one) but are
the outcome of the conditions to be found upon the Path itself.
They carry the warrant of a man's own soul and are the result of
the experience of millions of travellers upon that Path.
I will give
you these six rules (even as I gave them to another aspirant*)
in ancient and symbolic form, translating them as well as I can
from the ancient records, stored in the Hall of Wisdom, and
available to all earnest disciples,—such as you.
The Six Rules of
the Path (Rules of the Road)
I. The Road is
trodden in the full light of day, thrown upon
the Path by Those Who know and lead. Naught can
then be hidden, and at each turn, a man must
face himself.
II. Upon the Road
the hidden stands revealed. Each sees and knows
the villainy of each. (I can find no other word,
my brother, to translate the ancient word which
designates the unrevealed stupidity, the
vileness and crass ignorance, and the
self-interest which are distinguishing
characteristics of the average aspirant.) And
yet there is, with that great revelation, no
turning back, no spurning ofeach
other, and no shakiness upon the Road. The Road
goes forward into day.
III. Upon that
Road one wanders not alone. There is no rush, no
hurry. And yet there is no time to lose. Each
Pilgrim, knowing this, presses his footsteps
forward, and finds himself surrounded by his
fellowmen. Some move ahead; he follows after.
Some move behind; he sets the pace. He travelsnotalone.
IV. Three things
the Pilgrim must avoid. The wearing of a hood,
the veil which hides his face from others; the
carrying of a water pot which only holds enough
for his own wants; the shouldering of a staff
without a crook to hold.
V. Each Pilgrim
on the Road must carry with him what he needs: a
pot of fire, to warm his fellowmen; a lamp, to
cast its rays upon his heart and show his
fellowmen the nature of his hidden life; a purse
of gold, which he scatters not upon the Road but
shares with others; a sealed vase, wherein he
carries all his aspiration to cast before the
feet of Him Who waits to greet him at the gate—a
sealed vase.
VI. The Pilgrim,
as he walks upon the Road, must have the open
ear, the giving hand, the silent tongue, the
chastened heart, the golden voice, the rapid
foot, and the open eye which sees the light. He
knows he travels not alone.
July 1937 Brother of mine...For you the group meditation is essential; it will serve to aid your soul in its life task and to integrate you into the second ray sphere of influence, which will be of real use. My brother, we travel not alone. For you, again, group love, group understanding, group happiness and group work are essential to progress, real happiness and good physical health. In group work and contact comes relief from inner tension, through the sharing of force... I would beg you to apply
yourself to the five days of the Full Moon Contact,
making the weeks between each full moon simply
preparatory to the work to be done on those five days.
Will you also take the Rules of the Road (which you will
find attached to this instruction) and study them. They
have helped many people.(see six rules above) source:

It is not possible to penetrate
the dense glamour of devotion, vibrating with dynamic
ecstatic life, which emanates from the concentrated energy of
the disciple, working still through the solar plexus centre.
For this glamour there are some
age-old rules: Contact the greater Self through the medium of
the higher Self and thus lose sight of the little self, its
reactions, its desires, and intentions. Or: The pure love of the
soul which is not personalised in any way and which seeks no
recognition can then pour into the world of glamour which
surrounds the[79]devotee,
and the mists of his devotion (upon which he prides himself)
will melt away.

MY BROTHER:
There is no need to ask you to go
on and climb the mountain of attainment. The seed thoughts
suggested below will give you needed hints upon the mode of
climbing.
1st month—Lift up thine eyes.
Look not upon the ground.
2nd month—Recognise the group of
fellow climbers and not just the two or three.
3rd month—Let thy feet be swift,
and hampered not by earthly friendships.
4th month—Let thy heart be full
of love, and love the many.
5th month—Stretch out a hand to
all, and aid the stumbling on the way.
6th month—Give strength to those
who work for others, and work thyself.
Into the New World my first message.
You who gave the Ashram,
And you who gave two lives,
Proclaim.
Builders and warriors, strengthen the steps.
Reader, if you have not grasped — read again,
after a while.
The predestined is not accidental,
The leaves fall in their time.
And winter is but the harbinger of spring.
All is revealed; all is attainable.
I will cover you with My shield,
if you but tend to your labors.
I have spoken.
There is no salvation
surer than that through devotion. One can
forgive much where there is unswerving devotion.
The man who is devoted in heart can be relied
upon. It is cause for rejoicing when Hierarchy
is upheld by devotion. At present it is
especially needed. If yesterday's confusion
seemed enormous, what can one say of tomorrow's?
I have already prepared you for the growth ofArmageddon,
and you know that the black wings of darkness
will not withstand the Fiery Sword. Be not
astonished, the Battle increases!

Transmission Meditation
Groups
It is the
creation, in co-operation with the Hierarchy of Masters, of a
vortex or pool of higher energy for the benefit of humanity. There are more than 600 Transmission groups in 40 countries
worldwide meeting on a regular basis. You may join an existing
group in your area, or form your own group by simply inviting a
few interested friends to meet with you at least once a week.
All you need is the intention to do so and the desire to serve.
There is never any fee to participate.

If we compare two
individuals, of whom one dissipates the vital substance while
the other consciously conserves it, we will be amazed at how
much more sensitive the spiritual apparatus of the second
becomes. The quality of his labors becomes entirely different,
and the quantity of his projects and ideas multiplies. The
centers of the solar plexus and brain are being heated, as it
were, by an invisible fire.

Benjamin Creme discusses the emergence of Maitreya, The World Teacher
Maitreya Dancing in Karbala (believe it or
not!)
The
"Horseman" appears @ 1:23:
Kalki Avatar with the sword of cleavage
"In Hinduism, Kalki (Devanagari: कल्कि; meaning 'Eternity,' 'White
Horse,' or 'Destroyer of Filth') is the final incarnation of Vishnu
[Maitreya, the World Teacher] in the current Mahayuga, foretold to
appear at the end of Kali Yuga [now!]...the Puranas foretell that
Kalki will be atop a white horse with a drawn blazing sword. He is
the harbinger of the end time in Hindu eschatology, after which he
will usher in Satya Yuga [New Age]."Source:
Wikipedia
"When Maitreya comes before
the worldthere
will begin for men a period of intense heart-searching and
reflection. It is only to be expected that for many it will be a
painful, even traumatic, one. So steeped in the ways and ideas
of the past, so fearful of a future unknown and strange, are
millions today, that men will want to take stock of the new
situation which will then pertain…. When Maitreya first
announces His plans and hopes for the rehabilitation of the
world, His energy of Love – the Sword of Cleavage – will further
delineate the divisions which now exist. Men will take sides –
for or against the new principles that He will present for the
betterment of all. Thus will it be. Thus will a period of
discord and discontent precede the acceptance of the new.
Gradually, however, even the least sanguine will acknowledge the
need for a reconstructed world and add their weight to the task.
"There will begin a time unlike aught seen before on Earth. On
every hand and at every level the changes will pursue their
logical course, cementing in law and principle and form the
aspirations of all. Thus will men regain a hold on their destiny
and turn away for ever from the abyss. (The Master -- from
‘Coping with change’)
=========================================
The Sword of Cleavage is the energy of Love. As people respond
to this energy the world will be divided – those who are
clamouring for change along the lines Maitreya is advocating,
and those who are fearful and looking to the past, who see Him
as the Antichrist, are fearful and do not know what to do. They
will stand aside and watch the events, and so lose the
opportunity presented, for the first time in history, to take
part in the transformation of the world. It is up to each
individual, from where he or she stands, to assert their
divinity. (Benjamin Creme, The Awakening of Humanity)
=========================================
"Much that is loved must go. Cling
not to the old forms. Much will depend on man’s ability to
renounce these outworn structures, and to create a new and
simpler world. Remember this. Forget not that I come to change
all things. My Coming brings peace. Likewise, My Presence brings
cleavage. My Sword, that Love which I am, will separate all men,
will show the True from the false, will clear the way for the
New Light which I bring. May it be that you can withstand this
change and accept My Light. (Maitreya, from Message No.74)

In an interview
with the German author Peter Andreas, the scientist Prof. G.
Quispel expresses his amazement that the demonstrably wrong
ideas on this subject have not been abandoned:
"I am constantly astonished
to see that people still do not appear to know what has been
recognized for one and a half centuries: that the beast
from the Apocalypse refers to none other than the Caesar,
Nero. Only the later Christian church, in the time of
Constantine (325 AD), put the Apocalypse into a future,
historical time-frame."(From:Was
Morgenwahr sein kann,Econ

666 -- and other misunderstandings
http://www.share-international.org/archives/agelesswisdom/aw_pl666.htm
One of the easiest ways to know me, Maitreya says, is to
be
honest in your mind, be sincere in your spirit, and practice detachment. Any
action performed with dishonesty of mind, an insincere spirit and attachment
is destructive. For example, when you think one thing, say another, and do
something which is different again, you are lost. Honesty of mind leads to
honest speech and honest action. This harmony leads to peace and happiness.
Without detachment there is no salvation.
Be what you are. Do not surrender your self-respect, your
dignity, to others. Do not allow anyone to cast his shadow over you. A
Master gives experiences, but does not cast his shadow.
Do not follow one another. If you practice honesty of mind,
sincerity of spirit and detachment, you will know me, you will know the
Lord.
