Give and take

He (or she) who takes but never gives may last for years but never lives.

The path of service

The path of service is not an easy one.

During the Piscean age the student/teacher roles were very well defined. To
be of service usually meant to be in a religious, teaching or leadership
role.

Today, in the Aquarian age, to be of service can mean pumping gas and
spreading love while just being yourself. One doesn’t have to have a
degree, following or be able to channel to be of service.

The definition of service for the Aquarian age is to act from the heart at
all times.

This means being true to oneself in all our actions and never forgetting our
connection to the one infinite Creator. It doesn’t matter if one is teaching
a new age class at a local free school or being a production manager on an
assembly line.

Ideas,experience and growth

There must be no settling down into grooves; nor must any one think that he
is entitled to fixed ideas and final conclusions because he has had an
abundance of experience.

There are no final conclusions ; every demonstrated fact simply
demonstrates the fact that every fact begins to evolve into new and
different facts the very moment it has passed through its demonstration.

There are no fixed ideas ; an idea to be an idea must be a growing idea.
What we call fixed ideas are simply ossified thoughts ; they are not alive,
therefore, have no truth in them.

The mind that has had an abundance of experience should know that he has
just begun to deal with real ideas; that there are universes before him
still to be explored and comprehended, and that the experience he has had
thus far is mere insignificance compared with what is yet in store for
advancing human thought.

To gain these greater ideas man must enter into harmony with the real
purpose of experience, and begin to live solely for continuous advancement.

While so living he will also perpetuate his youth.

The law of renewal

That which is normal is never old ;

it is normal or natural to be new and young at all times, because one of
the principal laws in nature is ever making all things new.

Those conditions that appear to be old are ab-normal; all appearance of age
is artificial, and comes from the race habit of mentally interfering with
the law of renewal.

The ancient sages declared the visible universe to be Maya, illusion, meaning thereby that impermanency is the antithesis of Reality. Change and decay are in the very nature of visible things, and they are unreal—illusory—in the sense that they pass away forever.

He who would ascend into the realm of Reality, who would penetrate into the world of Truth, must first perceive, with no uncertain vision, the transitory nature of the things of life. He must cease to delude himself into believing that he can retain his hold on his possessions, his body, his pleasures and objects of pleasure. For as the flower fades and as the leaves of the tree fall and wither, so must these things, in their season, pass away forever.


Tens of thousands of grief-stricken hearts are today bewailing the loss of some loved object which they called theirs in days that are past, are weeping over that which is gone forever and cannot be restored.

Men are slow to learn the lessons of experience and to acquire wisdom, and unnumbered griefs and pains and sorrows have failed to impress them with the Truth of Transitoriness. He who clings to that which is impermanent cannot escape sorrow, and the intensity of his sorrow will be measured by the strength of his clinging. He who sets his heart on perishable things embraces the companionship of grief and lamentation.

Men and women cannot find wisdom because they will not renounce the clinging to things.
