"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 rug makers 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 humanity 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 does bless, encourage and develop 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.
