T.N.G. SIGNS OF THE TIMES - N.M. May 1, 2003 (#119)
Greetings from Russell's Remnant:
www.oocities.org/dkone_us
Russell Whitesell had
a close connection with D.K. He also spent many years as an esoteric philosopher
teaching his students about the problems of glamour in their lives. He would
remind us that the real world is upside down and backwards to the world that
99.9% of humanity live in. We all are full of glamour. We do not have eyes
to see or ears to hear. D.K. and Alice Bailey presented humanity many books
that afford us the opportunity to start to learn how to get out of glamour
– a journey that takes a long time. Remember however that time is a crutch
for those of us who still have the problem of glamour. To those beyond glamour,
time does not really exist. As Russell once told a small group of his disciples,
“I believe I will go home tonight and remember the future!”
The following rules are
from the Djwhal Khul/Alice Bailey book on Glamour published by the
Lucis Trust.
Glamor - A World Problem
- The Nature of Glamour The Six Rules of the Path
(Rules
of the Road)
- The Road is trodden in the full light of day,
thrown upon the Path by Those Who know and lead. Naught can then be hidden,
and at each turn, a man must face himself.
- Upon the Road the hidden stands revealed.
Each sees and knows the villainy of each. (I can find no other word, my
brother, to translate the ancient word which designates the unrevealed stupidity,
the vileness and crass ignorance, and the self-interest which are distinguishing
characteristics of the average aspirant.) And yet there is, with that great
revelation, no turning back, no spurning of each other, and no shakiness
upon the Road. The Road goes forward into day.
- Upon that Road one wanders not alone.
There is no rush, no hurry. And yet there is no time to lose. Each Pilgrim,
knowing this, presses his footsteps forward, and finds himself surrounded
by his fellowmen. Some move ahead; he follows after. Some move behind; he
sets the pace. He travels not alone.
- Three things the Pilgrim must avoid.
The wearing of a hood, the veil which hides his face from others; the carrying
of a water pot which only holds enough for his own wants; the shouldering
of a staff without a crook to hold.
- Each Pilgrim on the Road must carry
with him what he needs: a pot of fire, to warm his fellowmen; a lamp, to
cast its rays upon his heart and show his fellowmen the nature of his hidden
life; a purse of gold, which he scatters not upon the Road but shares with
others; a sealed vase, wherein he carries all his aspiration to cast before
the feet of Him Who waits to greet him at the gate - a sealed vase.
- The Pilgrim, as he walks upon the
Road, must have the open ear, the giving hand, the silent tongue, the chastened
heart, the golden voice, the rapid foot, and the open eye which sees the
light. He knows he travels not alone.
