Excerpts from
INSTRUCTION BY BELOVED EL MORYA
February 10, 1955
"As each one grows in Mastery, he becomes able
to take streams of force from many lifestreams and firmly, gently, kindly,
gratefully and efficaciously weave out of the combined gifts, the particular
developed project toward which the chela has set his hand and consecrated his
heart.
The rejection of a line of proffered energy
through intolerance, ingratitude or unkindness shuts off a flow of energy which
might be just what was required to complete the project in God-mastery. This
does not mean one should accept and weave into the pattern any superfluous or
impure substance.
No!
However, I might
liken a chela in authority to the Master rugmakers of Kashmir, whom I have known
so well.
As you know, only the Master (patriarch of the
Clan) has the full pattern handed down to him by word of mouth. No written
instruction has ever been allowed lest it get into the hands of commercial
promoters who would not understand the spiritual significance behind the pattern
and would use it to secure worldly gain. This patriarch has a group of grown
men, women and growing children who form his only instrument through which to
weave the particular rug or tapestry which will be the gift to mankind of one or
sometimes several generations. These spiritual rugs and tapestries are records
of Cosmic Truth, like the hidden Tablets of the Vedas.
There is given a thread to each one, a portion
of the pattern and in patience the individual weaves that thread through the
entire course of the design. The Master allows the individual to use his energy
(his life) to follow that design. If the Master is wise, he blesses, encourages
and develops dexterity and perfection of accomplishment in his people through
kindness, expressed gratitude and training. He watches carefully, however,
pulling the thread out again and again when it is not following the perfect
course of the design. Then his worker must set himself to making things right.
If there is impatience, unkindness, or tyranny in the Master in charge, the
tapestry or rug is barred from a place in the Spiritual Retreats and foci and is
put on the market for commercial sale. This is the greatest disgrace to the
Master of the family because the discordant energies woven through resentments
and rebellions among his workers have polluted the spiritual aura of the
artistry. Even though every thread is perfect, every design brilliant with its
symbol or color and sign, it cannot be considered worthy of a place in the House
of the Lord....
...Do you know that all the literature, all the
written records of Cosmic Truth that have survived the pillaging of the decadent
civilizations, the burning fires of the zealots, the destruction of the
fanatics, survived only because of the harmony woven into the original
recordings? That which has been lost in the physical appearance world had in it
some seed of decay, caused by the director or the workers whose energies were
turbulent and disturbed... "
