Quote from MAHATMA LETTERS mentioned previously:

p. 73, letter XIII: "You will easily understand what is meant by the "one
and only" element or principle in the universe and that androgynous; the
seven-headed serpent Ananda of Vishnu, the Nag around Buddha- the great
dragon eternity biting with its active head its passive tail, from the
emanations of which spring worlds, beings and things. You will comprehend
the reason why the first philosopher proclaimed ALL - Maya - but that one
principle, which rests during the maha-pralayas only - "the nights of
Brahm."  . . .

Here's another curiosity:

p. 77 XIII: "The perfect man or the entity which reached full perfection,
(each of his seven principles being matured) will not be reborn here. His
local terrestrial cycle is completed and he has to either proceed onward or
- be annihilated as an individuality. (The incomplete entities have to be
reborn or reincarnated). On their fifth round after a partial Nirvana when
the zenith of the grand cycle is reached, they will be held responsible
henceforth in their descents from sphere to sphere, as they will have to
appear on this earth as a still more perfect and intellectual race. This
downward course has not yet begun but will soon. Only how many - oh, how
many will be destroyed on their way!"

This curious because I can't believe they are already starting humans on a
descent into the next globe! I think he means that in the fifth round we
won't be considered perfect after an ascent on a globe, only after the
ascent through the chain, and that karma will be a continuing activity,
rather than enjoying the forgiveness and splendor of the masters. We do
proceed onward because we are attracted to 1) association with ascended
masters, 2) nirvana in the sun, and 3) renewed, refreshed, plan in tote,
aiding failing animals and creating our new world, we are ourselves the
"good" in the duality of life.  All these are attractive now, but if karma
and responsibility are present in the descent's "move on or be annihilated"
mentality, we suffer again. Karma to me is almost negligent if ascended
masters are present. We can ask them for anything we want - of course
desires would be rather refined. They only seek to manifest their level of
creation here on earth and we are blessed and showered with gifts
immeasurable. Who cares about karma?
