BROTHER OF OLD:

You have been drawn back into a phase of my work which, in the early days, you aided me to start. Opportunity opens up before you; you can be and do much. The success of this will be dependent upon your ability to walk humbly and to recognize the fact that ancient thought-forms still exist upon the periphery of your consciousness, and that the Dweller on the Threshold stands ready at all times to avail himself of the weaknesses to which you have been prone.

I say not this in other spirit than that of warning you, and I am happy to see you again within the sphere of action of the work. I look to you to aid and help. If you will always act in full cooperation with your fellow workers, and if you will cultivate frankness and open-heartedness and clear speech, the end is sure.

Spiritual radiation holds the key to your successful service, and the careful watching of your lower sixth and third ray tendencies. You must be prepared for tests and difficulties until you have proved yourself; these seldom come the expected way. One of your major safeguards is ever, as I have already told you, to adhere to and carry forward the next duty and to concentrate upon that which has been undertaken. Avoid that which lies outside the periphery of the work, regarding anything else as a sidetrack for you.
