| I claim no outer or special
significance among you. This message is intended to serve
as a guide for the true seeker.
Through thousands of years, many books
have been written on the quest for God. There is no doubt
at this point in time that those books have done very little
good for mankind in general. The disease of man's complete
preoccupation with the material has grown especially strong
at present.
Throughout the history of mankind on earth,
there have been a multitude of false prophets proclaiming
the way. Always, these individuals have been the imitators
of the real and hidden inner schools. Unable to find the
true inner connection, they instead entrap those who would
not look long or deep enough for the truth. They spread
confusion, lies, and false hope only for the benefit of
themselves.
The ancient Mystery tradition does not change
with time. It does each day and in every way to those who
grope at the fleeting shadows in the Darkness. Approach
with caution those who would openly claim expertise and
lineage. Names are of the outer. Real lineage is provided
only by the inner and is never outwardly proclaimed.
Esoteric schools have always served a specific
purpose at a specific time. For those individuals who would
purposely or out of self-ignorance misrepresent what they
do not understand or are not a part of, realize that the
true initiate understands far beyond words and has no need
to spread falsehoods. Although many individuals have always
foolishly regarded themselves as worthy of representing
or altering an ancient pathway, do not be deceived by their
self-aggrandizement. One book or many thousands of books
written by those of the outer, falsely claiming to be a
representative of the inner, changes nothing. The many of
the inner have never had a need to selfishly claim lineage.
It is irrelevant. From what significant lineage did the
Buddha, Christ, or Mohammed descend? Were they not chosen?
No one individual can bring himself up from
the grave of matter without following the paths of those
individuals who have gone before. An outer school is needed
in the beginning. With the multitude of pseudo-schools presenting
themselves at this time, it is urgent for the seeker to
remember that the quest for the truth begins in one's own
heart. If the desire for Love, Truth, and Knowledge is strong
enough, it will act as a beacon for those capable of guiding
you to the real inner Mysteries. It has always been this
way. Many are called, but very few are actually chosen.
The potential initiate must understand the
significance of searching inwardly and not allowing oneself
to be led astray outwardly. Follow the path of those in
the past who have preceded you. Nothing has changed. There
are many capable of guiding you to your desire. You must
learn to listen inwardly.
A popular axiom of this century is, "There
is no such thing as a free lunch." Who would expect a real
teacher to expend time and effort without such a return
from the student? Everything must be paid for. Who would
value would they would not pay for? Do not take this to
mean that any price is justified, for those who would willingly
take a large sum of money from another and not provide an
even exchange in return are incurring a very large debt
which will eventually be paid in one form or another.
There is no doubt that this message will
be attacked, twisted, and falsified by the many who would
falsely and self-righteously claim knowledge of subjects
for which they have no real understanding. For what is knowledge
without understanding? It is like an orange tree unable
to bear oranges. It is just a shell of what it should actually
be.
