Discipleship in the New Age II - Personal Instructions to Disciples - R.S.W.
To R. S. W. January 1940 Your glamor is, as you know, that of psychic sensitivity. Like S.C.P. you function on the astral-buddhic line; but, having a trained mind from the educational angle (for you passed through college, did you not, my brother?) you have a somewhat different problem. Your task is to use your mind for the unfoldment of the intuition and for the control of the lower psychic nature. This psychic glamor does not unduly distort your point of view but its very presence constitutes a disturbing element to you. You neither like nor desire this psychic sensitivity or the knowledge which it brings, but it constitutes an environment in which you have to learn to walk with freedom and with grace. It is not some situation from which you must aim at escaping for it is part of manifestation and you must learn to work with it and function in it but with complete detachment from it - just as you do not identify yourself with physical phenomena such as rain or storm. Glamor exists. It is. The higher glamors are goals towards which the lower psychics must work and your work may lie along the line of helping them in the midst of the glamor and by this remark I may aid in reorienting your thought and dissipating some of your concern. A person, for instance, who has been astrally and psychically controlled by the glamor of selfish desire and material aims will have made a real step forward when he escapes into the glamor of devotion to a teacher - a glamor which, for you, would be a thing lying behind in your experience and no longer of controlling importance. Ponder on this and, if you care to do so, list the higher and lower glamors and indicate how the lower can be transmuted into the higher powers, leading to a later liberation. In this problem of the glamor of psychic sensitivity, you can do much to solve it by the right handling of the time equation (for time in reception of contacts, as it is called at times, has a real relationship to the growth of glamors) and [735] in the elimination of non-essentials. Go forward, therefore, in service with joy and with confidence. The glamors hold you not in truth but you need more understanding of their nature.
