ALIGNMENT WITH THE SOURCE

CONCERNS: Becoming the source; assimilating what is beneficial for us; becoming, in turn, a purified source of wisdom, comfort and guidance for others.

1. A mind polluted with selfish, emotional considerations cannot be a good source of information or nourishment.
2. If we neglect or misapply our assets and abilities, it is as though we did not have them.
3. It is sad when we do not listen to or take seriously the good input that we could use to improve our lives.
4. When our motives, assets, and abilities are purified and clarified, we can usefully serve others.
5. Here we have done enough work on ourselves so that we can be relied upon for correct guidance.
6. When we are pure of motive and correctly aligned with the Divine Order, we become an inexhaustible source for others, a manifestation of the Source of all.

COMMENT: Activities and ideas energized by the desires and motivations of the separated, selfish, unpurified personality are a significant part of our world’s difficulty. By clarifying ourselves and aligning this cleansed personality with our intuition of the Divine Order, our contributions, ideas and activities become trans-personal, group conscious and of real benefit.
