The Magnetism Of Love

Duane,

Good to hear from you again. I sensed a contemplative peaceable spirit in you from the beginning and that holding the mind steady in the light is a principle never far from your mind.

There are only a few serious esoteric students out there and among them there is again only a few free from glamours that distract them from synthetic group work. Most are too attached to their own niche truths.

You say:

"I would rank this site as one of the more interesting groups I have come across. Why is this so? Because this site exhibits the best of two qualities that can be often in opposition to each other in a more conventional setting. Democracy and Hierarchy. I am referring here to enlightened Hierarchy in which there are advanced guides over-seeing or guiding the dissemination of advanced teachings. Yet this orientation or relationships is simultaneously done within a group context and Democratic forum. This forum is well thought out but most importantly imbued with the magnetism of Love that can hold it together in spite of the many controversy that will come and go in true occult and esoteric work."

JJ:

I appreciate this observation and an honored you see this as one of the top groups you have come across. But what particularly struck me was your observation of "the magnetism of Love." In the ten years I have taught here you may have been the first (outside of myself) to make this observation.

In the course of these teachings there has been many a conflict and many complaints of a lack of love -- that the quality of the people here are too low to accomplish anything of note. You are, of course, familiar with the principle of harmony through conflict -- that this does not negate the second ray principle of love.

I have sought to assure the group a number of times in differing ways that the love of the soul is here and many of those that seem obnoxious are just sincerely proceeding along the path in their own way and time. I have stressed DK's [Djwhal Khul's] teaching of tolerance for other students even though they irritate our personalities.

This irritation runs through all groups and has to be neutralized before productive group work can be accomplished. But one of the effects of centering on irritation is that the general current of real love that does indeed circulate is often overlooked.

As you noted, the magnetism of love is here and does circulate, even though there is some resistance. I will also observe that this group has made considerable progress over the years.

The simple principle of seeing the glass as half full rather than the emptiness ever applies.
