Education in the New Age - Chapter IV - The Angle of Personality Control
The Angle of Personality Control Much that I could say here would simply be a repetition of that which you already know and have been taught. Many of you who are reading my words here are steeped in the ideas which I have been seeking to impart to humanity for the past years, for it was in 1919 that I first started writing through the cooperation of Alice Ann Bailey. In these writings I have sought to do two things: 1. Teach the basic necessity for certain great fusions - individual, racial and spiritual: The fusion or integration of the different aspects of man's nature - physical, emotional and mental. When this has been accomplished we shall have the manifestation of the integrated elemental forces to which we give the name of the Personality, [141] producing the manifestation of a powerful, self-directed, high grade human being. The fusion of the personality and the soul. This has to be carried out consciously and deliberately, with the willingness of these related parts of a great divine whole to see the personality subjected to changes and transmutations, produced as a result of soul contact. This will lead to the manifestation of the indwelling soul, the Christ consciousness, the Solar Angel. The ultimate fusion of humanity with the Hierarchy, producing the manifestation of God's Kingdom on earth. This will be the consummation of all the other fusions, and will have produced certain great planetary, racial and national fusions which are incidental and necessary to progress and its inevitable results. These fusions are not carried forward as listed above in an ordered sequential fashion. There is much overlapping and lack of balance in the process, but though there may be differences and difficulties in the lengthy process, the end is inevitable and unalterable. The Kingdom of God, the consummation of it all, will appear upon the planet. 2. Inculcate the methods, productive of quality and not just of quantity, which will facilitate the emergence of certain great divine characteristics. These will, in due time, change the world and bring in the new attitudes and states of consciousness. These, when they are matured and recognized, will bring about the appearance of the culture and civilization which is, for the race, the next planned and desired development. Need I, therefore, talk to you about personality development and control? Is not that something which you have [142] considered and worked at for years? Can I tell you anything of a practical nature that you do not already know and strive to attain? Shall I increase your present responsibility by repetition? I think not. The new culture will emerge and come into being, as all of those who have a consciousness of light and the goal of pure service (which such a consciousness inevitably entails) proceed with their appointed task - a self-appointed task in every case - of living and teaching the truth about light, as opportunity offers. [143]
