Question:
First Part:
You have heard me say many times that the Masters do not like to repeat themselves. What does this have to do with the law of economy? Does then the Law of Economy tell us that the repetition of a past revelation is probably not a true revelation from the Hierarchy?
Second Part:
When does repetition harmonize with the Law of Economy?
Again we see that we must go to the second key of Judgment to correctly understand how this law applies. There are times when repetition is good and times when it is a waste, or a "vain repetition." Judgment must be used to determine which is which.
I have said that the Masters do not like to repeat themselves to us. In other words, they use repetition in harmony with the Law of Economy. They will repeat themselves when necessary but when a complete revelation is given out in written form it would be a waste of energy to give it out to a second person saying approximately the same thing. Instead they would be following the Law of Economy by telling the disciple where to look for that which is already revealed and in book form.
On the other hand, there are many things written in books that a Master Teacher may quote and give further elaboration. In doing this he is repeating an essential teaching, but also giving out something new in relation to it. This fits in with the law of Economy.
The ingredients of the Sermon on the Mount were all given out before Jesus taught them, but his was a new arrangement with a new emphasis. There was no manuscript he could just point to and tell his disciples to read.
DK repeats certain key teachings in his books that he felt were important to emphasize.
On the other hand, repetitions that do not follow the Law of Economy that claim to be inspired or new revelation are usually not inspired and not revelation.
There are many out there who claim to be channeling some master who produce teachings that are already found in Alice A. Bailey and other books. If these repetitions were from a true master he would merely tell the medium to go to a certain book and read it rather than vainly repeat that which has already been given out.
Question:
Do we have to understand the Law of Economy before we can master the Law of Love? Why?
Answer:
Yes. The law of economy governs the scattering of form and vibration whereas the law of Love governs the attraction of forms that brings all things together.
Before we can understand love which brings things together we must understand what pulls things apart and what governs the forms the separate particles take.
Jesus hinted at the Law of Economy when he said:
"Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." Matt 6:28-29
It wasn't until the microscope was invented that we could truly understand the words of Jesus. When we magnify the lilies or other living things we see a world of unimaginable order and glory, all created by Divine Intelligence following the Law of Economy which creation paves the way for the understanding of the Love of God.
DK makes this interesting statement: "A man is governed by the Law of Attraction (Love), is evolved through the Law of Economy, and is coming under the Law of Synthesis."
In other words, he tells us that we owe our evolution to the Law of Economy.
Question:
What does the Law of Economy have to do with our evolution? How can we quicken our evolution when we understand it?
What does this law have to do with time? Do we have all the time in the world or is it important that we make effective use of it?
