This is not true because if an individual is not constructive, you can not
make him constructive by interacting with him. Instead you have to stop -
annihilate - put an end to their destructiveness first and this practically
requires an ascended master to come through and blast away all
destructiveness.

We do not have to experience other human individuals first hand to live our
first object. We only have to experience adepts first hand to live our
first object.

This is not true because it is for some people to join the Society and be
members a short time only and while their experience may be very beneficial
to them it was not because we all learned how to "get along," it was
because the adepts accomplished their purpose with the individual and they
could depart and experience without their membership.

This is not true because silence is actually a very good way to keep our
contact with the Masters and with the light within, because we are not
allowing the human in ourselves to act at all. We are completely
annihilating our human verbal reactions and by annihilating the human we
allow the TRUE light of Christ to live in a place where all darkness is
dispelled.
