Detachment
Excerpted
from the work of the Tibetan (Djwhal Khul) through Alice A. Bailey
It is only in a spirit of realdetachmentthat
the best work of a disciple is done. The disciple comes to realise
that because of this detachment he is (for the remainder of his
life) simply a worker—one of a great army of hierarchical
workers—with supposedly no personality inclinations, objectives, or
wishes. There is for him nothing but constant work and constant
association with other people. He may be a naturally isolated
person, with a deep craving for solitude but that matters not. It is
the penalty he must pay for the opportunity to meet the need of the
hour...
You must develop the attentiveness of the One
who looks on at life and at the life struggle of others. It is
necessary for you to learn that when you can avoid identifying
yourself so closely with people, refraining from suffering so
consciously with them, you can be of greater service to them and a
finer friend and helper. Therefore, for you,detachmentis
an outstanding requirement and a quality to be cultivated. This is
not the detachment of self-protection or of self-immunisation or of
aloofness, but that soul detachment which works from soul levels
and—seeing all life in the light which streams from the soul—regards
everything from the standpoint of eternity. You will then see the
real values involved and the true perspectives of the picture... You
must see people truly and as they are—with their faults and their
virtues, their divinity and their humanity.
You need to acquire that inner, divine detachment which sees life in
its true perspective. A man is thus left free and untouched by aught
that may occur. The ideal attitude for you is that of the Onlooker
who is in no way identified with aught that may happen on the
physical and emotional planes, and whose mind is a limpid reflector
of truth. This truth is intuitively perceived because there are no
violent mental reactions or emotional states of response; the
vehicles of perception are quiet and therefore there is nothing to
offset correct attitude. When this state of consciousness is
achieved, you will be able to teach with power and at the same time
possess that also which must be taught.
Your personality detachment must develop into a deeper attachment to
the souls within the forms. Thus understanding grows. There is a
vice of detachment as well as a vice of attachment and the true
servant of the Plan seeks the middle way.
Work with detachment and, because you are demanding nothing for the
separated self, all things will, therefore, come to you.
You are learning the lesson of detachment with rapidity, and you are
gradually standing free from the clinging hands of others... the
many acts of spiritual detachment lead eventually to the severing of
that final thread which involves the death of all personality
attachments. Then only those relationships are left which are upon
soul levels. Your task is to learn to differentiate between such
spiritual detachments and those enforced detachments which are
undertaken on higher levels of astral awareness. The problem of the
disciple is to reach a point where he is not hindered or held back
by any human being and yet so to handle himself as far as attitude
is concerned that he hurts no one in the process of withdrawal. The
outer personality claims of attachment are oft so powerful that
their clatter and their rattle prevent awareness of the golden
thread which links us with another soul. Likewise, overestimation of
another person can act as a real hindrance. The chain
Forget not to love with detachment... The ties through attachment
over many years hold firm and on the physical plane they must not,
may not, be severed but ever within yourself they must be completely
snapped.
As you free yourself from the clinging chains of attachment to place
or person, your intuitive perception will thereby be released, and
you will see in terms of reality and not in terms of form—no matter
how high or purified.
Be attached to souls, my brother, but detached from personalities.
Souls heal and aid each other's personalities. Personality
relationships drain and devitalise.
In the present... it is not easy for world
disciples—with their unusual sensitivity—to detach themselves from
the general psychic condition. Yet the aim of each pledged and
obligated disciple... must be to hold a subjective attitude of
detached contact—an occult paradox!—and at the same time to carry
forward the life of active service upon the physical plane. This is
your problem and one which you will have increasingly to face in the
future. The present situation must and will touch all nations and
every disciple will be tested and will have to express the utmost
that is in him in service. I point this out so that you can
comprehend the present and be prepared for the future.
In the teaching of the Buddha we have the three ways in which the
lower nature can be changed and prepared to be a conscious
expression of divinity. Throughdetachmentman
learns to withdraw his interest and his consciousness from the
things of the senses, and to turn a deaf ear to the calls of the
lower nature. Detachment imposes a new rhythm upon the man. Through
learning the lesson ofdispassionhe
becomes immune to the suffering of the lower nature as he detaches
his interest from secondary things and the non-essentials, and
centres it upon the higher realities. Through the practice ofdiscriminationthe
mind learns to select the good, the beautiful and the true. These
three practices, leading to a changed attitude towards life and
reality, will, when held sanely, bring in the rule of wisdom and
prepare the disciple for the Christ life.
Upon this racial teaching follows the work of the Christ with
humanity, resulting in an understanding of the value of the
individual and his self-initiated efforts at release and
illumination, with the final objective of group love and group good.
We learn to perfect ourselves in consonance with Christ's
injunction, "Be ye therefore perfect,"... in order to have somewhat
to contribute to the group good, and in order to serve Christ
perfectly.

Call
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!

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

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.
