Glamor - A World Problem - The Ending of Glamor
When he also adds to this an understanding and the practice of
the Technique of Indifference, he stands free and liberated and is essentially at all
times the Observer and User of the apparatus of manifestation.What is this technique?
What is indifference? I wonder, brother of mine, if you understand the significance of
this word "indifference"? It means in reality the achieving of a neutral
attitude towards that which is regarded as the Not-self; it involves a repudiation of
similarity; it marks the recognition of a basic distinction; it signifies refusal to be
identified with anything save the spiritual reality as far as that is sensed and known at
any given point in time and space. It is, therefore, a much stronger and vital thing than
what is usually meant when the word is used. It is active repudiation without any
concentration upon that which is [263] repudiated. That is a statement of moment and
warrants your careful consideration. It is concerned with the point of tension from which
the observing disciple or aspirant is working. The point of tension becomes the emanating
source of some type of energy, and this pours down into and through the etheric body
without being in any way affected by maya or by the concentration of diverse forces of
which the etheric body is ever composed. Indifference, technically understood, signifies
direct descent from there to here, without deviation or distortion. The manifesting
entity, the disciple, stands steady and firm at this point of tension and his first step
is, therefore, to ascertain where that is, on what plane it is found, and what is the
strength of the tension upon which he has to depend. The next step is to discover if that
which he seeks to convey to the physical body, and thus produce effects upon the outer
world of experiment and experience, is distorted by illusion of any kind, arrested in its
expression by glamor, or liable to be sidetracked by uncontrolled forces and by the maya
which these produce. This he ascertains not by identifying himself, stage by stage of
descent, with the hindrances and possible obstructions but by intensifying his point of
tension, by the constant recollection of the truth that he is the Self and not the
not-self and by a process of projection; this projection is defined as sending of energy,
qualified and recognized, from the point of tension direct and undeviatingly to the vital
body from whence it can find its way to the seven centers of control.
It is at
this point that he applies the technique of indifference for, if he does not, that which
he is seeking to express may be held up and arrested by etheric force or by the veils of
maya. He works consequently from a point of intense concentration; he refuses any
"attachment" to any form or plane as he projects the energy into and [264]
through the three worlds. When he discovers any arresting or sidetracking of progress
through active illusion, or glamor, he "detaches" himself consciously from such
contacts and braces himself for the final stage of indifference or repudiation of all
forces except those which he - consciously and with purpose - is seeking to use upon the
physical plane.
In the last
analysis, my brother, the point of tension for the average disciple will be found on
mental levels, involving the illumined mind and a growing soul contact:
He will be able then to "see" clearly in the light of the soul, and with a
developed sense of values; he can consequently dispel illusion.
He will be able to project light, consciously, on to the astral plane and can thus
dissipate glamor.
He will be able to pour light energy through the etheric body and anchor the light or
energy in the appropriate centers because there will be complete indifference or
non-identification with maya.
Where the initiate is concerned, the process is carried on at first from a point of
tension within the soul and later from a point of tension in the Spiritual Triad. In all
cases, however, once within the ring-pass-not of the three worlds, the directing energy
produces results as outlined in this book and brings about:
The dispelling of illusion.
The dissipation of glamor.
The overcoming of maya.
It sounds fairly simple and easy of accomplishment as the aspirant reads these fairly
simple elucidations of a difficult [265] process but that in itself is delusion. Agelong
identification with the form side of life is not easily overcome and the task ahead of the
disciple is a long and arduous one but one which promises eventual success, provided there
is clear thinking, earnest purpose and planned scientific work. [266]
