Dear Peter, MG and Friends:--
Excuse me if I am interrupting, or breaking in----
I did not intend to be mysterious or to say in any way that the “Masters
of Wisdom” do not exist.
I am quite convinced they do, and that They are present (though perhaps
invisible to us, and that They work constantly. The effect of their
presence and work can be observed in many ways. I believe the presentation
of theosophy and the impact that it has had in many ways on man’s thought
in the world is indicative of this.
The SECRET DOCTRINE states there are many grades and levels of Men (Minds)
that have passed out of our “level” of evolution and that does not mean
“Ascended” -- which is a phrase or an attribute that to some may place
Them outside of reach. One wonders who and how such an appellation was
attached. I do not find that H P B did that. That is why I asked.
I am also aware that we all have a “Master: within. It is our own HIGHER
SELF ATMA. If we are to secure its help we have to so purify our lower
nature that we do not keep Them at a distance.
The “Masters” that are active in evolution, says The SECRETDOCTRINE
Vol. I, are those who are active in assisting Nature and in guiding certain
of her processes. They are INVOLVED and not “ascended.” I do not mean
that the phrase cannot be used to indicate reverence paid to Great Teachers
who keep the Perennial Philosophy alive and present before mankind.
I would also say that in our own seven-fold constitution we have a continual
“battle” proceeding between the principles of “Kama” or passions and
desires, and that of “Buddhi” or wisdom, where knowledge offacts and
truths in Nature and in ourselves is directed by Moral rectitude -- which
could be simply voiced as “Universal Brotherhood.”
Any out-reach that a student may make to others or to any one is of the
nature of an offer of sharing in such knowledge and experience they may
have. It is also of the nature of securing verification from such othersas
to their own parallel or divergent observations.
I do trust this clarifies anything I left unsaid in my earlier message.
Thanks for your kind offer. I always have enjoyed your suggestions.
Best wishes,
Dallas

I feel very strongly your need for the answers to your questions.
Unfortunately you will not get any true answer by calling out to others. The
answers will only come to you with certainty through meditation and your way
of life. When you are ready your Master will come and guide you to the
answers that you need. However this will only happen as a result of intense
study and meditation and this could take a very long time, but there will
come a time when the answers clearly emerge from the mists of your mind and
your excitement will be shared with many fellow travellers.
Please keep searching, You have many fellow travellers who all wish you
well.
Kind regard
Peter
