The Old Commentary

Some of the greatest words written by DK (Djwahl Khul) come from a book in the archives of the Masters called "The Old Commentary." DK said this work is so ancient he was reluctant to give its age.

I found it amusing that shortly after I introduced the Alice A. Bailey books to my nephew, Curtis, he came across some quotes from the Old Commentary and was very impressed. So impressed that he wrote a letter to Lucis Trust asking them what the cost of the book was.

They wrote back a nice letter explaining that the book was not available to mortal man.

I'm going to give a quote from the Old Commentary from time-to-time as a seed thought for the group to contemplate and then give their thoughts.

In every field of human expression, men and women are becoming definitely self-assertive. The Old Commentary refers symbolically to this in the following words.

Here is the first:

"The Lion begins to roar. He rushes forth and, in his urge to live, he wields destruction. And then again he roars and - rushing to the stream of life - drinks deep. Then, having drunk, the magic of the waters works. He stands transformed. The Lion disappears and he who bears the water pot stands forth and starts upon his mission."

(Destiny of the Nations, Pages 145-146, by Alice A. Bailey)

Contemplate and explain the meaning.
