Greetings from Russell's Remnant: www.oocities.org/dkone_us
Some of the Teacher’s Minimum Daily Requirements: 1> Have gratitude. 2> Avoid halfway decisions. Do not look back. 3> Avoid crowds and hostile people. Solitude is best. 4> Keep flexible. Be patient. 5> Become accustomed to the unexpected. Be not over-anxious over anything. Expectation creates counteraction. 6> Talk to objects. 7> Love flowers. 8> Bring classical music into your life. 9> Be not surprised at anything. 10> Strive for quality not quantity or appearance.
11> Sacrifice yourself. 12> Learn to be served as well as to serve. 13> Know thyself. Study your motives. 14> Eliminate self-pity. 15> Humor is wise. Do not take yourself so seriously. 16> Never feign a smile. 17> Avoid laziness, inertia, sloth and lack of speed. 18> Avoid static conditions. Work from a point of tension. 19> Use time rightly. Know the value of time. Avoid tardiness. Cultivate a right sense of timing. 20> Rejoice at obstacles and enemies. Bless them.
21> Have more courage. Avoid spiritual cowardice. Say the hard truths in unalterable love. Shock applied in love is useful. The best method is often sudden and a drastic adjustment. 22> Assume leadership of the people. 23> Be a fool for Christ's sake. Defy the social set, one of the cruelest in the world, for their own sake. 24> Act in the most efficient manner. Conserve energy. Be economical in everything. Do not labor unproductively. 25> Put first things first. 26> Deal with causes and not with effects. 27> Do not waste time in looking back. 28> Refuse to take on non-essentials (those things which other people can do just as well as you can). Refuse time to non-essentials. 29> Make life simple. Discard the outgrown and unnecessary. The non-essential is of no importance in the light of larger issues. 30> Find what you seek by leaving it behind.
31> Deal with the highest good of the greatest number. Nothing matters but the soul. Hold on to no physical plane attachments. Be attached to souls - detached from personalities. 32> Let not the lesser voices of the loved deflect you from the path of service. Do not tie yourself to those you love. Shoulder not responsibilities which are not yours. 33> Develop discrimination. Learn to reject and repudiate and thus discriminate the best. 34> Work entirely on the mental level. Think esoterically and abstractly. 35> Organize the mind all day. See clearly, hear truly and report accurately. Learn to observe and think. 36> Learn the value of acting "as if." Act as if you are an initiate. 37> Renounce your memories. 38> Sustain effort, the seed of synthesis. 39> Avoid imperil, fear, doubt, self-pity and greed. 40> Be tranquil, the crown of spirit. Avoid excitement, so pernicious for good health. Say "How beautiful is everything" when irritability or imperil affects you.
41> Speak against the astral world. 42> Grasp universals prior to particulars. 43> Constantly study, especially the books of the Teaching. Re-read books about principles. Brood and reflect on D.K.'s books. First read as a whole. Later try to deal with the details. Read with increasing care. 44> Determine your soul and personality rays. Decide which initiation lies ahead of you; study it and make application. 45> Symbols (all is symbol) must be mastered. Study a total of four symbols a year. 46> Study yourself. Consult your horoscope. 47> Concentratedly watch events. Watch the signs of the times. 48> Test everything that exists. 49> Know that everything in the world is unrepeatable. 50> Choose co-workers only by their irreplacability. Examine closely the armor of your brother. Distinguish precisely with whom you can work.
51> Find and contact those minds that are energized by similar thoughts. Organize and activate the Forces of Light. Regard all your work as group work. 52> Formulate these ideas into thoughts. Transmit them so others can apprehend them also. It is not forbidden to copy anything lofty. The simplest truth needs repetition. Prove what you can impart to the group. 53> Safeguard these truths and send forth the books. Write more. Correspond more with others. Put your thoughts on paper to serve others. 54> Visualize great streams of money passing out of the control of the Forces of Materialism into the control of the Forces of Light. 55> Expect not cooperation from any quarter. 56> Do not abandon the battle. 57> Remember that as a group member, we drain the life of the leader. Christ was not only killed by his enemies, but his friends. 58> It is relatively of no importance what you do, but register consciously, all the time, just exactly what you are doing. All work in the sight of the Great Ones is of equal importance. 59> Do that which will bring about the greatest amount of good to the greatest number of seeking souls. 60> Give 60% of your time to group work - 40% for outer activity. The battle is so great that it is impossible to allot time to ordinary occupations. Count all things but loss unless they are productive along the line of service.
61> Become increasingly factual in your attitude to all disciples. Nothing should deter one from sharing his knowledge and encouraging the growth of consciousness. 62> Acquire some manual skill in an art or handicraft. Return quality to manual work. 63> Right relaxation is an equal part of service. 64> Keep D.K.'s books in constant circulation. Realize the epoch making importance of D.K.'s teachings. Spread the Teaching, but do not make the Teaching too accessible. Do not give your writings into alien hands. Tell too little rather than too much. 65> Reveal with greater emphasis the fact of the Hierarchy. Dispel illusion and impress the Plan upon the consciousness of the world's leading people. Tell everyone that the Masters and Their disciples are working to bring order out of chaos. 66> Spread the healing energy of good-will. Teach of good-will to all leaders. Distribute the Great Invocation. Do Triangle work. 67> Choose the instructions reasonable and right for you; but when chosen, fulfill them with exactitude. 68> Knowledge must be used. Duty is based upon imparted truth. 69> Teach truths whose first effect is necessarily destructive. Teachers frequently work alone and with little recognition. Know that few listeners hear or see, yet space sees and hears. 70> Know that your enemies determine your importance - never is a Teaching elevated by its friends.
71> Sleep much. Sleep with the windows open. Ventilate your house. 72> Close the eyes for short periods. Use a warm compress. 73> Do not tire yourself. If tired, change the body position. The same is true in all circumstances of life. 74> Utilize mountain air - especially at 7,000 ft., 11,000 ft. and up. 75> Renounce and overcome all earthly habits. 76> Take Valerian (which prevents cancer). Soda abates diabetes. 77> Avoid all abrupt movements. Refrain from useless gesticulations. Shun everything sudden or noisy. 78> Forget about your illness. Avoid concentration on the physical body. Shift attention to the etheric body. 79> Get fresh air. Work in the light. Use the morning light. Take a daily dose of the sun. Sunshine is good. Starlight is good for the nerves, but moonlight evokes fatigue. 80> Eliminate all physical tension. It is good to laugh while resting.
81> A vegetarian diet is beneficial, especially oranges. Return to fruits, vegetables and nuts. Avoid meat, nicotine and alcohol. 82> Eat twice a day. Do not overeat. 83> Use long warm baths without abrupt movements. 84> Picture the etheric area of the spleen bathed in pure golden light. 85> Each day use the Great Invocation, sound the OM, say the Lord's Prayer. Pray each day or not at all. 86> Pay close attention to the evening reviews. Learn to imagine how the Master would view your day. 87> See the Master and the self about a 1/4 inch within the etheric heart. 88> No cost is too great to pay to be of use to the Hierarchy at the May Full Moon - Wesak. 89> Through Raja Yoga, pay more attention to your meditation and thus attain equilibrium. Practice visualization. Live in the head center through meditation. Meditate 20 minutes each morning. 90> Relax, eyeballs upward, when quivering ceases - poised; take seven long breaths. See yourself mounting higher and higher up seven steps. At the top, sound the OM.
91> Develop an eagle eye and notice the minutest changes. Discern the grain of sand, not the mountain. Be aware of everything that surrounds you. 92> Look far ahead. 93> Do not neglect anything. Do not tolerate a rusty anchor. Display concentration in all small works also. Precision is needed throughout the world. 94> Learn everywhere and always. Each task can be improved. 95> Economy is needed in everything. 96> Success of all large undertakings is based on the little things. 97> Simple words for simple people. 98> Know how to lead. 99> The Teacher wishes that rhythm be "accelerando." 100> Every message from Us is indispensable.
101> Homelessness is necessary. Travel a lot - detached from particular places. 102> A Teacher does not display conventionality. His time is too valuable to waste in social politeness or refrain from critical comment where a good purpose is served. 103> Call on the Teacher only at need. 104> The Teacher suggests advice. If accepted of free will, those instructions must be followed accurately. 105> Lean on your soul. Be not too concerned about tomorrow. 106> Let the things of everyday vanish. 107> Have few possessions - only necessary ones. 108> Seek first the Kingdom of God - all other things become secondary. 109> Learn the art of reverence. Silence is the best friend. Speak less - love more. Become the onlooker and silent watcher. Avoid premature speech and too much talk. Silence is the best answer. 110> Do not argue, compel or even persuade. Quarrels defile space.
111> Never complain. Keep humble, unmoved by circumstances. You are only a channel. 112> Avoid ribaldry, cursing and profanity.
