Perhaps I am complacent but I believe that the Masters are watching over us

means many souls may perish there will be other opportunities in this and 
other solar systems for us to "know ourselves"

M. Sufilight:
What you sense as fear is in fact compassion. Just try to read my comments 
in this email. You think the Masters are watching over us.
Then I wonder, what made the Coulomb incident happen? What created the 
Leadbeater scandal within TS? What created the Liberal Catholic Church and 
its scandals?


And I, Carlos, comment:


1) Occult knowledge is for those who have clean lives and pure hearts/minds, and each one has to work that as best he can and evaluate his/her own efforts. Purity oif heart and mind is the general role because only them give you clarity of VISION and you need a clear vision in order to see the way to follow.  This has nothing to do with old Catholic blind-belief. It's Yoga, it's scientific.  Purity of Mind grants clarity of vision and liberates from illusion.  

2) The Masters cannot FORCE people to preserve the Movement. They work  in the long term.  They are helping at the higher-manas level, and  they give us time to work things out in a reasonable way in the next decades and centuries.  They do not have to "Control" events. They preserve humanity's autonomy.   This central aspect of autonomy of the learners is something Leadbeater/Besant  made most people forget.  

As the Masters watch, they will NOT force events or control History... they give us time. 

(I  bet a couple of tea cups as, in the next few years,  there will be a gradual new beginning and an improvement in the movement, both ethically and spiritually. Accept the challenge? ) 


Best regards,   Carlos.
