Christians, hindus, or Buddhists. They should simply
follow assiduously the spiritual recommendations of the
founding saint of their chosen doctrine, whoever it may
be. To illustrate, the Christian should strive to be ever so
still in one’s prayer, collecting one’s attention and focus-
ing it in the single eye in anticipation of the visitation
of Christ in his glorified Body, and to then receive his
instructions on how to proceed further upward. Yes, it is
true that according to the light and sound doctrine, exclu-
sive contemplation on the Two Faces of the Master, both
the outer and Inner Forms, most greatly facilitates and
expedites the upward movement of consciousness. But if
you are still deriving benefit from your present religious
association, then you should not strive to replace your
current, chosen belief.
since you mentioned your fear of leaving the church,
I assume you are perhaps a Christian. If so, please also con-
sider the fact that the term “Christ” was not part of Jesus’
proper name, but was a title, an anointing or conference
of a higher level of consciousness. There are numerous
Christian devotees who strive more for the Christ con-
sciousness, or the “Christ-like mind,” rather than the
externalized devotion and worship of the man, Jesus.
nevertheless, in either case, reliance is still being placed
exclusively upon an ascended Master, and this greatly
reduces any chances of a lasting success. In religious ter-
minology, success entails eventually becoming the Christ
oneself, fully realizing that one is already a son or daugh-
ter of god, thus viewing oneself on equal footing with the
great Jesus the Christ. attainment of the Christ conscious-
ness is actually akin to cosmic consciousness, or realization
of the divine mind, although it still falls short of self re-
alization, which transpires within a region situated one
plane further up.
