"Concentrate on the Master as a Living Man inside you." 

Master Koot Hoomi once wrote:

"Your best method is to concentrate on the Master as a
Living Man inside you. Make his image in your heart
and a focus of concentration so as to lose all sense
of bodily existence in the one thought. . . ." 

"Every one of you create for yourself a Master. Give
him birth and objective being before you in the Astral
Light. If he is a real Master he will send his Voice.
If he is not a real Master, then the Voice will be
that of the Higher Self." Quoted from an E.S.T.S.
document.

COMPARE the above with the choice quotes below from
THE VOICE OF THE SILENCE:

"Then from the heart that Power shall rise into the
sixth, the middle region, the place between thine
eyes, when it becomes the breath of the ONE-SOUL, the
voice which filleth all, thy Master's voice. . . ." 

"Before thou set'st thy foot upon the ladder's upper
rung, the ladder of the mystic sounds, thou hast to
hear the voice of thy inner GOD [The Higher SELF.] in
seven manners. . . . "

"Silence thy thoughts and fix thy whole attention on
thy Master whom yet thou dost not see, but whom thou
feelest. . . ." 

"Merge into one sense thy senses, if thou would'st be
secure against the foe. 'Tis by that sense alone which
lies concealed within the hollow of thy brain, that
the steep path which leadeth to thy Master may be
disclosed before thy Soul's dim eyes." 

"The light from the ONE Master, the one unfading
golden light of Spirit, shoots its effulgent beams on
the disciple from the very first. Its rays thread
through the thick dark clouds of matter. . . ."

"Of teachers there are many; the MASTER-SOUL is one,
Alaya, the Universal Soul. Live in that MASTER as ITS
ray in thee. Live in thy fellows as they live in IT. .
. ." 

"All is impermanent in man except the pure bright
essence of Alaya. Man is its crystal ray; a beam of
light immaculate within, a form of clay material upon
the lower surface. That beam is thy life-guide and 
thy true Self, the Watcher and the silent Thinker, the
victim of thy lower Self. . . ." 

"Thy Soul-gaze centre on the One Pure Light . . . ."
