Transcend Duality

Djwhal Khul (Alice Bailey) - Discipleship in the New Age - Volume I  - The Six Stages of Discipleship - End of part III

"We have all - disciples and initiates of all degrees - to enter the secret place of initiation with a sense of blindness (or loss of direction) and with a feeling of complete destitution. The disciple needs to bear in mind that he has to become "a moving point and hence a line"; he ascends towards the Hierarchy and assumes the correct spiritual attitude but, at the same time, he descends into what he erroneously regards as the depth of human difficulty and iniquity (if necessary), preserving always his spiritual integrity but learning three important lessons:

1. The recognition that he shares all human tendencies, good and bad, and hence is able to serve.

2. The discovery that the thing which he most despises and fears is the thing which exists most strongly in him, but which is as yet unrecognised. He discovers also that he has to explore and know these despised and feared areas of consciousness so that they become eventually an asset, instead of something to be avoided. He learns to fear nothing; he is all things; he is a human being but he is also a mystic, an occultist, a psychic and a disciple. And - because of all these acquired states of consciousness - he becomes eventually a Master. He has "mastered" all stages and states of awareness.

3. The uselessness of past attitudes and dogmatic ways of looking at life and people (based usually on tradition and circumstance) when they separate him from his fellowmen.

When he has really learnt these three things, he is initiate."

Transcending duality, the most important and simultaniously the most effective and powerful process in spirit life, will be the theme of this quest. As we could read in the words of Djwhal Khul, representing the 64 ascended masters of love and wisdom, this process is related to the realization of the awareness, that all existence is simultaniously manifested within. To realize this step by step let us follow the list of Spirit Elements. Let us visualize all the elements inside of our being, let us visualize them as "I am this." Then let us come back to this quest and follow the next steps.

Next steps coming soon ... :-(  (-:
