Solitude from the Work of Djwhal Khul &
Alice A. Bailey
...
Be
not afraid of loneliness. The soul that cannot stand alone has
naught to give... It is wiser to cultivate the quality of
spiritual solitude than to have it forced upon you—as so often
happens to so many... In
this solitude there is no morbidness, there is no harsh withdrawing,
and there is no aspect of separateness. There is only the "place
where the disciple stands, detached and unafraid, and in that place
of utter quiet the Master comes and solitude is not."
Discipleship in the New Age, Vol. II,
Section Four - Personal Instructions to Disciples
To aid you and in order to evoke your second ray quality of
soul and mind, I would suggest the following meditation.
This should be run through rapidly and dynamically, prior to
the group meditation.... Assume always the position of the
"one behind the scenes" and say dynamically and with due
intent:
"I am the one who never stands alone. Those days of
isolation lie behind. I stand alone when trial comes,
for I am strong and need not drain the strength of
others. I stand alone when blame descends, for I am true
and know what I should do. I thereby shield the weak and
leave them free. But in this work, I have no self but am
the Self—the Self which knows itself to be the Self in
all. And thus I do my work—alone, yet not alone, and
thus—for aye—I stand."
Then proceed with the group meditation. Forget not also that
I have given youdetachmentfor
one of your keynotes. Ponder more deeply upon its meaning.
The future holds much of opportunity and of service for you,
for the group, for your chosen co-workers. It holds no scope
for service for any isolated person.Togethermust
the work be done.
Discipleship in the New Age, Vol. I,
(April 1938)
"...The
disciple has freed himself somewhat from the imposed control of an
orthodox teaching and from the rule of a teacher. He stands (as far
as he can tell) free from such control. Knowing however his
essential weakness and the lure of the personality, he is on guard
against himself, and against the ancient rules of control and learns
steadily to stand on his own feet, to come to his own decisions, to
distinguish truth for himself. He learns to choose his way. But,
like all persons who have not taken some of the higher initiations,
he can (in due time) become enamoured of his freedom, and
automatically then swing into the glamour ofhisideal
of freedom,—an ideal which he has created. He becomes the prisoner
of freedom. He rejects all rule exceptthat
which he calls the "rule of his own soul," forgetting that his
contact with his soul is still intermittent. He demands the right to
stand alone. He revels in his new found freedom. He forgets that,
having given up the authority of a teaching and of a teacher, he has
to learn to accept the authority of the soul and of the group of
souls with which he is affiliated through his karma, his ray type,
his choice, and the inevitability of the effects of the at-one-ment.
Having relinquished the guidance of another person upon the Path,
and having his eyes partially opened, he now seeks to tread that
Path to the goal, forgetting however that he treads the Pathin
unison with others, and that there are certain "Rules of the
Road" which he must master, and which he must master in unison with
others. He has exchanged the individual law for the group law, but
does not yet know that group law as it should be known. He marches
on as best he can alone, glorying in the freedom from authority
which he has succeeded in achieving. He promises himself that he
will brook no authority or guidance.
"Those of us who are considering him
and looking on at him from the clearer heights of attainment see him
gradually becoming obscured by wisps of fog and by a glamour which
is gradually growing up around him as he becomes a "prisoner of the
fog of freedom" and revels in what he deems the fact of his
independence. When his sight has cleared, and when his mental aspect
is more developed and unfolded, he will know that the Law of the
Group must, and will, impose itself upon him, and that the rule of
the lower nature has only to be exchanged for the rule of the soul.
This is group rule and works under the law of the group. He has
struggled out of the mass of seekers of the Road on to the Road
itself. He is, therefore, ahead of the masses but he is not alone,
even if he thinks that he is. He will discover many others who are
travelling the same way withhim,
and their numbers will steadily increase as he progresses.

One
of the primary conditions that a disciple has to cultivate, in order
to sense the plan and be used by the Master, is solitude. In
solitude the rose of the soul flourishes; in solitude the divine
self can speak; in solitude the faculties and the graces of the
higher self can take root and blossom in the personality. In
solitude also the Master can approach and impress upon the quiescent
soul the knowledge that He seeks to impart, the lesson that must be
learnt, the method and plan for work that the disciple must grasp.
In solitude the sound is heard. The Great Ones have to work through
human instruments and the plan and the vision are much handicapped
by failure on the part of these instruments.
A Treatise on White Magic
Only when the soul has learnt
to stand alone, assured of divinity, and yet with no outer
recognition of that divinity, can the very centre of
spiritual lifeberecognised
as stable and eternal. It was in this experience that Christ
fitted Himself for the Resurrection initiation, and so
proved to Himself, and to us, that God existed, and that the
immortality of divinityisan
established and unalterable fact. This experience of
loneliness, of being bereft of all that protects, all that
has hitherto been regarded as essential to one's very being,
is the hallmark of achievement. Disciples are apt to forget
this, and one wonders for a brief moment, as one listens to
Christ thus veiling His agony, whether He was not again "in
all points tempted like as we are," and whether at this
moment He did not descend into the deepest recesses of the
valley and feel that utter aloneness which is the reward of
those who mount the Cross on Golgotha.
Although each son of God at
different stages upon his way of initiation prepares for
this final loneliness by phases of utter rejection, when the
final crisis comes he must experiencemoments
of loneliness such as he could not previously conceive. He
follows in the footsteps of his Master, being crucified
before men and deserted both by his fellowmen and by the
comforting presence of the divine self upon which he has
learnt to rely. Yet because Christ entered thus into the
place of outer darkness, and felt entirely deserted of all
that had hitherto meant so much to Him, both humanly and
from the angle of divinity, He has enabled us to gauge the
value of the experience, and has shown us that only through
this place of outer darkness, which the mystics have
justifiably called "the dark night of the soul," can we
truly enter into the blessed companionship of the kingdom.

Solitude –Nowhere
is it said that a yogi must be physically alone, but in spirit
solitude is inevitable. Consecrating himself, the yogi crystallizes
his individuality. And the more liberally he gives, the more he
remains untouched. (AY, 260)
Learn to think in solitude. And realize the responsibility for
thought ... I advise that one observe oneself, and remember that no
one else besides the Teacher will help. I advise that the Teacher be
regarded as the only stronghold. (AY, 340)
Albert Einstein: Although I am a typical loner
in daily life, my consciousness of belonging to the
invisible community of those who strive for truth, beauty,
and justice has preserved me from feeling isolated.
I have always believed thatJesusmeant

A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and

dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the
same measure as I have received and am still receiving.
I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but
delicious in the years of maturity.

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!

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.

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

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.
