BROTHER OF MINE:

For you, there come now some months of inner consolidation. You have heightened your vibration since I last instructed you and have learnt and realized much of what the inner path of reality signifies. Such cycles of realization must inevitably be succeeded by periods of quiet unemotional growth and assimilation. During these months, the high moments may perhaps cease and the work will go on with no realized tensions and, consequently, with no moments of startling import. This is happily the case. A constant succession [324] of spiritual enlightenments and an unabated keying-up to high contacts would eventually dull the instrument so that true recognitions would fade out. Ponder on this, my brother, and be grateful for the days of coming duty, of quiet living, of steadfast orientation towards the light, of silent communication with your soul, of study and of thought. They are of as real value and of as true usefulness as e'en those hours when the technique of the Presence entered into your consciousness. They lead towards the time when the technique is superseded by the Presence.
