In esoteric circles, the word ‘disciple’ is used for the
aspirant on the spiritual path. This is
not used in the religious context, but rather in the ‘follower of a school of
thought’ definition1. The
word disciple conveys just what is needed – discipline. In order to progress on our spiritual path
and to master the three lower bodies (etheric, emotional and mental) we need a
huge amount of discipline. In order to
follow the path of soul and progress with ascension and the mastery of our
lessons, we need to be disciplined in thought and action. This can prove to be one of our biggest
struggles as the personality will rebel against it. In order to ascend and achieve a soul-merge,
the personality has to step aside and eventually be dissolved. Why therefore, would it want to allow us to
get rid of it? So it puts up a fight, it
allows us to be consumed by it, and to be distracted from our spiritual path. Meditation is key to our spiritual
advancement. In this matter, Djwhal Khul
through Alice Bailey is quoted as saying: “may it
not be truly said, if any one claims not to be able to find fifteen minutes out
of the one thousand four hundred and forty minutes which constitute a day, that
they are not interested? Fifteen minutes can always be found, if the will is on
the side of the effort”.2
In what ways are you letting your personality –self distract
you from your path? Try to see if you
can find 15 minutes to make some soul contact today. This mantra may help: THE WILL OF THE SOUL IS
MY WILL.
