The Potential of Principle


The Principle has such a far reaching potential; it always has contained and it always will contain that potential because the Principle has the allness of life, the understanding of the involution and the evolution and the steps necessary both to understand the involution and to accomplish the evolution.

The greatest drawback for each student is a lack of organization, which creates confusion, resulting in lack of discipline, which, limits a continued progressive stage of unfoldment.

It is necessary for a plan of breathing, dietary, and class study program be established for the year. With each month students should be reaching up a step and following the energies of potential that are emanating at that particular time, cyclically, for the Organization, reaching up with the ideal of the application towards the utilization of this cyclic energy coupled with their own. With the utilization of this potential energy in a creative way, it will spur the students on to greater incentive towards their own development and their own unfoldment. It will open students' minds away from self because the ideal is to create the unity and the growth within the Organization. It will lift students away from a more personal, selfish concentration and allow them to see, even to a fuller degree, their own individual application relative to their own cycle. It will create a greater energy of constructiveness, of positivity within the Organization, for them to draw on for their own individual accomplishment, for their own individual broader vision in overcoming and stepping aside from their selfish limitations.

Of greatest importance is for students to recognize that the philosophy's cycle is an emanating energy for them to utilize, to create the strength of greater freedom in broadening their minds to understanding their own limitations and understanding their own efforts of application that should be taking place. In life, there always must be a universal ideal coupled with the student's individual application and that must be somehow in service, in application, in participation with the philosophy's cycle. That is how students can learn a more universal, selfless concept.

Within this Organization you cannot concentrate upon self. You cannot concentrate on only self-improvement or self-application. It has to be coupled with a universal energy linked to universal ideals of service. If students could unite with the ideal of drawing, utilizing, and expressing this universal energy relative to the philosophy's cycle, bringing it into expression through their actions and through their thoughts, and helping through organized effort to express the changing vital power; if they could learn to express the constructive energy, or power that is pulsating through the Organization at this time, they could be responsible for greater growth and advancement, and the success of the Organization.
