That is, a person who is growing spiritually and whose consciousness is expanding, is quite likely to be out of tune and out of step with his immediate environment. The high calling of the meditator in training is to channel into his environment, from Hierarchy through the soul and out into some form of appropriate expression, the new ideas that will eventually build a new civilization. This is what esoteric work is all about. So by the light of the group soul and the strength of each other's persistence, let us together proceed with learning to meditate effectively. Inspiration comes from somewhere.
Spiritual guidance comes from somewhere.
We hold that the cyclic recurrence of the full moon marks a rhythmic beat which facilitates conscious interplay between the light and seekers after enlightenment, between the world of ideas and the human mind, between the true executives of the planet and the rank and file of workers for the common good. In the mythology of the sun, moon and planets we are taught that the head of our planet, the Lord of Shamballa, regularly intensifies His meditation at the time of each full moon. At these times of contact, all dedicated work on the mental plane is facilitated and meditation is more effective. It is good workmanship, then, to take advantage of this rhythm. Meditating groups who plan and regulate their work so as to intensify their meditation from the new moon until the full moon, and then energize their service activities from the full moon until the new moon, are part of a dynamic movement to mobilize and coordinate the meditative strength of the world.
