BROTHER OF MINE:

I would like at this time to make the comment - one of major importance to you - that you are now entering upon the work for which you incarnated. The members of the New Group of World Servers - e'en when they work without mental realization (not as you do, for you know somewhat of the Plan) - are, nevertheless, working "under impression," as it is called. Their main duty, and the duty to which their souls call them, is to preserve an inner sensitivity. This they do in the majority of cases and, where there is not your background of esoteric knowledge, their intense interest in their work makes them one-pointed and dedicated to their task. Therefore, all personality reactions are subordinated to the work in hand and the lower man presents no impediments to that impression. With you, as with all the members of my group, there is a realization of the Plan and an inner determination to cooperate and this facilitates the work. For you, therefore, in the immediate future, two things are required. Your sensitivity to inner impression must grow and increase; your will also must be more dynamically used.

These two points I have in view as I consider the nature of the meditation which I must assign to you. The condition of increased sensitivity is dependent upon a perfected alignment and the other upon the right seizure of opportunity, upon directed skill in action and upon a sustained egoic one-pointedness. Therefore, there must be a preservation of such characteristics - with persistence - throughout the day. Your morning meditation should be of a brief and yet potent character and can best be described by the following words: Alignment. Dedication. Directed thought. Recognition of the Plan. Clear-cut realization. Steady Will. For you, meditation is an assuming of an attitude and its preservation throughout the work of the day. My brother, we can translate all the above into four stages [160] which definitely relate to your life theme, if I may so call it. Begin always with the fourth or final stage and work through to the first:

1. You live with the idea and you constructively embody it. This is being or realization.
2. The purpose becomes your purpose and your will is, therefore, the will of the Plan. Towards this higher will, your personal will is steadily directed.
3. This "qualifies" your life in the three worlds and you become potently characterized by the quality of the unfolding Plan. Upon this quality you must meditate.
4. Realization of the nature, the purpose and the quality of the Plan to which it is your purpose to contribute. This conditions the form which your work will take.
