Is that why I have seen on the IT= International Therapeutic Exchange 
a very strange woman with a look I never forget and with her head 
totally packet in white head like a triangle.
I cannot explain yet?
But I never saw something like that.
I make a joke, O that one have made a hole in her head with Dremel.

noble work and unselfish achievement, of pure thoughts and lofty 
deeds, ere this realisation of the emptiness of all that is 
phenomenal becomes the permanent attitude of the soul.

sooner or later the soul once and for ever breaks with earth and 
heaven as incompetent to satisfy his needs, and this definite turning 
away from the transitory, this definite will to reach the eternal, is 
the gateway to the probationary Path. The soul steps off the highway 
of evolution to breast the steeper climb up the mountain side, 
resolute to escape from the bondage of earthly and heavenly lives, 
and to reach the freedom of the upper air.

work which has to be accomplished by the man who enters on the 
probationary Path is entirely mental and moral; he has to bring 
himself up to the point at which he will fit to "meet his Master face 
to face": but he very words "his Master" need explanation. There are 
certain great Beings belonging to our race who have completed Their 
human evolution, and to whom allusion has already been made as 
constituting a Brotherhood, and as guiding and forwarding the 
development of the race.

Great Ones, the Masters, voluntarily incarnate in human bodies on 
order to form the connecting link between human and superhuman 
beings, and They permit those who fulfil certain conditions to become 
Their disciples, with the object of hastening their evolution and 
thus qualifying themselves to enter the great Brotherhood, and to 
assist in its glorious and beneficent work for man. "
