BROTHER OF MINE:

All severing of links produces severe reactions. Yet it you could but realize it, the severing of outer physical plane links is the least severe and the most impermanent of all such events. Death itself is a part of the great illusion and only exists because of the veils which we have gathered around ourselves. You, as a worker in the field of glamor (which is the new field in which humanity has consciously to work), have been deeply honored and trusted. Death comes to all, but not for you should there be the usual glamors and distresses. I would say to you, my brother, look not back at the past. In that direction lies glamor and distress. It is the usual direction and the line of least resistance for the majority. But such is not the way for you. Look not either to revelation or the imparted illusory comfort of those who hover on the dividing line between the seen and the unseen. That way is not the way for you. You are not a distressed and bereaved disciple looking anxiously at the separating veil and hoping for some sign to come through which will convince you that all is well. Such, I reiterate, is not the way for you.

Reach up to the heights of the soul and, having sought and found that pinnacle of peace and that altitude of joy whereon your soul immovably stands, then look into the world of living men - a threefold world in which all men, incarnate and discarnate are found. Find there that which your soul can and will recognize. The glamors of one's own distress, the maya of the past distorts one's point of view. Only the soul stands clear from illusion, and only the soul sees things as they are. Mount, therefore, to the soul.
