A Treatise on White Magic - Rule Three - Soul Light and Body Light
Thus humanity serves, and in the development of a conscious
aptitude for service, in the growth of a conscious understanding of the individual part to
be played in the working out of the plan and in the rendering of the personality subject
to the soul, will come the steady progress of humanity towards its goal of world service.May
I speak a word here so as to make this consummation a practical goal in your life? Harmful
magnetic conditions, as the result of man's wrong handling of force are the causes of evil
in the world around us, including the three subhuman kingdoms. How can we, as
individuals, change this? By the development in ourselves of Harmlessness. Therefore,
study yourself from this angle. Study your daily conduct and words and thoughts so as to
make them utterly harmless. Set yourself to think those thoughts about yourself and others
which will be constructive and positive, and hence harmless in their effects. Study your
emotional effect on others so that by no mood, no depression, and no emotional reaction
can you harm a fellowman. Remember in this connection, violent spiritual aspiration and
enthusiasm, misplaced or misdirected, may quite easily harm a fellowman, so look not only
at your wrong tendencies but at the use of your virtues.
If harmlessness is the keynote of your life, you will do more to produce right
harmonious conditions in your personality than any amount of discipline along other lines.
The drastic purgation brought about by the attempt to be harmless will go far to eliminate
wrong [102] states of consciousness. See to it therefore, and bring this idea in your
evening review.
I would like to urge each one who reads these pages to make a fresh beginning in
spiritual living. I would say to him, forget all past achievements, realize fervor, and
concentrate upon the Plan.
By this time some progress in group realization has surely been made, and less interest
in the separated self has been gained. More faith in the Good Law which guides all
creation to ultimate perfection has been visioned without doubt, and, through this vision,
has come the capacity to take one's eyes off the affairs of individual experience, and
fasten them on the working out of the purpose for the whole. This is the objective and the
goal. Breadth of vision, inclusiveness of understanding and a widened horizon are the
preliminary essentials to all work under the guidance of the hierarchy of adepts; the
stabilizing of the consciousness in the one life, and the recognition of the basic unity
of all creation has to be somewhat developed before any one can be trusted with certain
knowledges and Words of Power and the manipulation of those forces which bring the
subjective reality into outer manifestation.
Therefore, I say to you at this time, I - an older and perhaps more experienced
disciple and worker in the great vineyard of the Lord - practice harmlessness with zest
and understanding, for it is (if truly carried out) the destroyer of all limitation.
Harmfulness is based on selfishness, and on an egocentric attitude. It is the
demonstration of forces concentrated for self-enforcement, self-aggrandizement, and
self-gratification. Harmlessness is the expression of the life of the man who realizes
himself to be everywhere, who lives consciously as a soul, whose nature is love, whose
method is inclusiveness, and to whom all forms are alike in that they veil and hide the
light, and are but externalizations of [103] the one Infinite Being. This realization, let
me remind you, will demonstrate in a true comprehension of a brother's need,
divorced from sentiment and expediency. It will lead to that silence of the tongue
which grows out of non-reference to the separate self. It will produce that instantaneous
response to true need which characterizes the Great Ones who (passing beneath the outer
appearance) see the inner cause which produces the conditions noted in the outer life, and
so, from that point of wisdom, true help and guidance can be given. Harmlessness brings
about in the life caution in judgment, reticence in speech, ability to refrain from
impulsive action, and the demonstration of a non-critical spirit. So, free passage can be
given to the forces of true love, and to those spiritual energies which seem to vitalize
the personality, leading consequently to right action.
