The Inner Life
THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | OCTOBER 1933
special senses, and these know the earth, but call heaven a dream; and man in the other hath other seven special senses, and these know of devachan, but call earth a dream. Yet both states are really material, and similarly, both are unreal, except to the Father.
So man is constantly dying from the one state and being born in the other, back and forth, and only that state where he is, is real to him at any time. Myriad times does he repeat the process, incarnating and discarnating, and each time of rebirth on the earth finds him ever on a higher plane; until at last the concrete condition miscalled life is over, and the conditionless “long devachan” (Nirvana) is attained. Then man and his Father are together and at-one. Man came from God; unto Him must he go. But only the few have done this as yet, and of these Jesus Christ of Bethlehem is so far the only One who can truly say, “I and my Father are one.”

IMPURE THOUGHTS
STRIVE with thy thoughts unclean before they overpower thee. Use them as they will thee, for if thou sparest them, and they take root and grow, know well, these thoughts will overpower and kill thee. Beware, disciple; suffer not e’en their shadow to approach. For it will grow, increase in size and power, and then this thing of darkness will absorb thy being before thou hast well realized the black, foul monster’s presence.
—From The Voice of the Silence.
