Introduction

Friend, how can we discuss the Supermundane if energy is not yet realized as the foundation of

Existence? Many will not understand at all what is meant by this, while others may think that they

understand the significance of fundamental energy, but cannot think about it with clarity. It is necessary to

train one's thought upon the idea of energy until the feeling of it becomes as real as the feeling about any

solid object. We speak about feeling, because knowledge alone cannot provide an understanding of

energy.

Even if man accepts the truth that fundamentally there is only one energy, this alone will not be

enough for progress—one must also learn to picture to oneself its innumerable qualities. Man's

customary narrowness of thought limits his perception of the properties of this energy, and thus limits his

understanding. Lofty thinking helps one avoid harmful limitation, but it is not easy to establish an

appropriate level of beautiful and lofty thought amidst life's misfortunes, and very few are prepared to

understand that it is life's difficulties themselves that can assist lofty thinking. Goalfitness will help one's

thinking when the properties of the fundamental energy appear to be contradictory. A blind man may be

unable to perceive an event visible to others, but everyone can realize the Supermundane by learning to

understand the many properties of the fundamental energy.

Those who think of the Supermundane as the very Highest are correct. “As below, so above.” Let

this ancient saying serve as a guide to cognition of the forces of the Supermundane.

The Inner Life

1. Urusvati knows the Tower of Chun, and remembers how the exterior of the Tower resembles a

natural cliff. It is not difficult to prevent access to this Tower. A small landslide can conceal the structure

from those below. A small dam can change a mountain stream into a lake, and in time of dire need the

entire district can be immediately transformed. People may smile, thinking that organized expeditions

could sooner or later penetrate into all the passes. But even before the physical transformation of the area,

the power of thought would already have diverted the caravan! In addition, chemical effects can be

utilized to prevent the approach of the curious. Thus do We guard the Brotherhood.

Even the most advanced aircraft cannot discover Our Abode. Hermits living in nearby caves are

watchful guards. Travelers sometimes speak of having met a sadhu who persistently advised them to

follow a specified path and warned them of the danger of proceeding into certain other areas. The sadhu

himself had never gone farther, and had been instructed not to provide directions. The sadhus know about

the Forbidden Place and know how to guard the secret. Sometimes they may be highwaymen, yet even

highwaymen can be trusted guards of a sacred mystery. One should not doubt the existence of an inviola-

ble Abode.

Urusvati remembers the appearance of the passages that lead to Us, and also remembers the light

from Our Tower. Many details of these paths are remembered by Our Sister Urusvati. These landmarks

are unforgettable and give courage to all, on all paths. She has seen Our co-workers gathering useful

plants, and has also seen Our repositories, buried deep. One should see these archives of knowledge to

comprehend the work of Our Abode. One should hear Our singing in order to understand the life of Our

Ashram.

Thus, We shall speak about Our life and labors.

2. Urusvati has seen many of Our apparatuses. In appearance they do not differ much from those

in use elsewhere. However, the way they are used is different, for psychic energy is applied. It has long

been known that some apparatuses will operate only in the presence of a particular person, and now there

are even people whose organisms can substitute for entire complicated apparatuses. Man is growing

accustomed to his inner forces.

We long ago accepted the principle that each apparatus can be made more powerful by man

himself. One can achieve a transformation of one's entire life simply by the realization of the Primary

Energy. Over the centuries We have become accustomed to the idea that a concentration of energy can be

directed to any domain. Energy, like lightning, unites accumulated forces in its discharge. So-called

magical phenomena are based on the same principle. In reality, the term “magical” can only mislead. Any

electrical apparatus can be called magical. When Urusvati performed levitation or the moving of objects,

it was done not through magic but simply by not impeding the energy. The manifested energy was

accepted and then projected. It was united with the cosmic energy, and thus could act.

Our mirrors cannot be called magical. They simply increase the effectiveness of Our energy.

Many appliances can be found that make energy more effective. Strong magnets could hardly be called

magical, even though their action is remarkable. The subtle body and all experiments connected with it

belong to science, not to magic. Thus, one should abolish the superstitious use of the confusing term

“magical.”

Man has always been afraid of anything mysterious, forgetting that the key to the mystery is

within himself. One must free oneself from all impeding conditions or circumstances, which are different

for everyone. Progress depends upon free will that is directed toward good. The power of good compels

even machines to act not for themselves, but for humanity. Thus, Our apparatuses function with Our

collaboration.

People may laugh, but ideas do rule the world. These words are entered into the Statutes of the

Brotherhood.

3. Urusvati has seen some of Our repositories. Objects of art are collected according to eras, but

the collections do not constitute a museum as it is usually understood. These objects serve as a reservoir

of accumulated auras, and the creative emanations of their former owners remain in them much longer

than one might suppose. If one could gather a collection of objects created at the same time and with the

same striving, one would truly see the radiations of their eras. We can study in this way the true meaning

of a particular era. Such a possibility is exceedingly important for the psychic sciences. Some of Our

Brothers are the former owners of objects in Our repository. Sometimes an object is sent into the world to

carry out a certain task. For example, it may be buried in some place as a magnet.

Let the ignorant deride the repositories of the Brotherhood. Let the egoism of ignorance regard

Our repositories as the treasures of misers. In truth, each object is for Us a useful apparatus, and can be

used for important observations. It is especially valuable to observe the relationship of ancient auras to

later emanations. Sometimes a total opposition between objects, or a mutual sympathy between them, can

be observed. In Our many experiments with ancient objects, We observe not only with spiritual vision but

also verify by the use of Our apparatuses. This is not so-called psychometry, but a science of radiations.

Just as you can observe the usefulness of fruits and plants, We can study the language of objects by their

radiations. One can thus observe that few religious artifacts have beautiful radiations, for they were too

often created with self-interest, and then fell into even more mercenary hands.

Equally instructive is Our collection of inventions. The psychic energy with which an invention is

invested puts its seal upon it; it permeates all inventions with harmful or beneficial effects. Let the hands

of inventors be pure!

We watch inventors with great attention. We sometimes rejoice, but more often grieve. Our

Tower is open to all that is new, and it is a special joy when the thought that is sent by Us has been

accepted by a worthy worker.

4. Urusvati knows how difficult is the transference of thought over a distance. Many conditions

may affect it. Man is either like a boiling kettle or a radiant discus thrower, propelling thought into space.

One should not only control oneself, but should also foresee the chemical reactions that in their contra-

diction may interfere with a strong will.

We are often reproached about why at times We interrupt Our sendings of thought. Our earthly

friends do not realize that during such intervals We guard not Ourselves, but them. We know how to sense

spatial tension and protect Our friends who are in an earthly state.

Do not think that superficial methods will produce complete results. The most essential is in the

depths of one's consciousness. An impure servitor cannot perform a pure action, and the most sanctioned

ritual cannot free him from impure thinking. Thus, many err, supposing that outward rituals will

compensate for inner abominations.

The thoughts of the Teacher must overcome many hindrances in space. I affirm that each action

must be coordinated with the thoughts of the Teacher; such help is true collaboration.

We have apparatuses that assist the transference of thought over a distance. People would be

astonished to see that certain apparatuses that are familiar to them are here applied quite differently. The

application of psychic energy can transform the simplest of motors.

5. Urusvati has seen Us in both the dense and the subtle bodies. Only those few who have had this

experience can know the tension that accompanies it. Often We make it possible to see only Our faces or

hands, in order to prevent shock. Thus you may remember the Writing Hand, but even this manifestation

was too strong, because the vibrations could not be restrained. One must be all the more cautious.

Not without reason do We speak constantly about caution. People simply do not understand the

significance of this attitude. How many perilous illnesses are caused by the lack of reciprocal caution

between individuals! It is most necessary when there is a great disparity of vibrations. Vigilance and

mutual care are then required in order not to cause harm.

During Our earthly trips We sometimes transmit Our instructions through a third person who does

not know the true meaning of the commission and is only performing his duty.

The manifestation of Our Shield also requires precautionary measures. It is difficult to understand

the need for such care. People cannot take into account all the reasons that compel Us to be so cautious,
