DISTINCTIVE FEATURES OF THOUGHT

DISTINCTIVE FEATURES OF THOUGHT

Contemporary people aim at happiness and acquisition of knowledge and force. They do not know that all this can be acquired by a rightful thought. Which thought could be considered rightful? Rightful is the thought that can transfer all it has taken from God to a man. If it cannot transfer this - then it is not to be considered rightful. Which thought could be considered rightful? Rightful is the thought that accepts only goodness. Wherever it meets goodness, it gathers it and lets nothing fall on the ground. It accepts goodness, cultivates it within itself and sends it away. Both the rightful and the positive thought give something to a man, but as long as he works. If he does not work and wants only to win, man resembles an aristocrat, who counts on his servants. His servants do things for him, yet he says that all the wealth belongs to him. This wealth is a fictitious capital. Suppose you have two disciples, one of them studies - the other expects to be told all the lessons without any effort; one of them will gain more. The one who studies will gain more than the one who does not study.

As disciples of the occult school, you should examine things in their deep meaning and penetrate into their essence. For instance, contemporary chemists say that water consists of two elements - oxygen and hydrogen. They do not know that water comprises one more element as well. Up till now, scientists could not discover the third element of water, for it is a matter that resists material examination. Although, water is highly necessary for a man, it causes great damage as well. It can drown him, and when it happens, the reasonable world holds hydrogen and oxygen responsible. From a material point of view, hydrogen and oxygen are unconscious, irrational beings, controlled by rational ones. Namely these rational beings are responsible for all the damages water causes to man. The rational being, like the artist, uses brushes and paints as training aids, with which to express the great ideas of existence. Water is a bearer of the great Divine principle. Through hydrogen and oxygen man examines the character of the rational beings that control them. Oxygen makes the water dynamic, while hydrogen makes the water soft. Therefore we say: the water that does not transfer dynamism and softness to a person is not clean. Since it is not clean - it is not healthy.

Contemporary people are interested in the good quality of water as much as they are interested in their own actions. What deed is good? Imagine that some friend of yours brings you a basket full of grapes, apples, and pears. What will you do with these fruits? Can you eat them at once? You cannot. Do you have to throw them away just because you cannot eat them at once, though? If you throw them away, this means that you have not appreciated them - this will hurt your friend. Every day, you will eat a fruit or two until they are finished. As you eat, gather the seeds of these fruits and plant them. This is a good deed. Why? This is a good deed because both the outer and the inner lines of conduct correspond to each other. So, each thought, whose lines coincide with the lines of the human mind, heart, will, and Spirit, has a beautiful form. When you receive such a thought, you better preserve it, process it well and repay it properly. Each thought, with lines that do not correspond to the lines of the man, causes him a pinch, like old and ineffectively made shoes. The thoughts that make an invalid from a man are not to be considered rightful. In a religious sense, there are also thoughts, the lines of which do not coincide with the lines of the mind, heart, will, soul, and of the human Spirit. A man cannot benefit from such thoughts. They can turn him into an invalid. In order not to become an invalid, he should avoid them.

It has often been said to contemporary people, that they have to say thank you at each meal. This does not mean that they have never been thankful - it means they should be awake and they should realize that exclusively the goods God has given them have sustained their life. In their consciousness, there has to be something new, so that growth might exist. If these processes do not exist within his consciousness - a man is destined to stagnation. Stagnation exists only in the material world - a man is put in the organic life, though, where everything grows, blossoms, develops fruits, and ripens. What would you say to your friend if he gives you a pear modelled from clay, or painted on paper? You will thank your friend, you will enjoy the pear, but you will not be able to taste it. This pear can be preserved for a long time. You can give it to a museum as a model, that might characterise the art in a given age, but there is no growth in it. This pear will never rot, because it is not genuine - there is no life in it. Genuine is the pear on the tree that grows, develops, and acquires something new each day. The fact that it rots does not deprive it of a future life. It bears a seed - the beginning of new life. Then also, each fruit should have some aroma and scent. Until it ripens, pears do not allow it to be touched. As soon as you go near it, the pear says: "Do not touch me!" As soon as it ripens, it offers itself and says: "You can eat me now." If in the first case you do not touch it, you do God's will. If in the second case - when the pear tells you to eat it - you fulfil its wish, you also do the will of God. Therefore, until the fruit ripens - do not touch it. As soon as it ripens - you can pick and eat it.

Many people want to love and to be loved. To love somebody means to eat him. This person has come to you, so you accept him as a king: you take off his coat and take him into your living room, where great honour and respect await him. If your guest is close to you, you will kiss him and then begin the tasting - to see if he is sweet or not. In everyday life, this process is called eating, but with the highly elevated people it is called affection as well. If you tell this to an ordinary person, you will embarrass him. He would not understand the deep meaning of affection. No matter how much you talk to him about it, he will not be able to get it. If you tell him, that he cannot love everyone, he will consider this as a restriction. I ask - how would you love the bee? To love it means to invite it to your place. To invite it means to give it honey to eat. Only under this condition will it visit you. As soon as the honey is spent, it will quickly leave you. You cannot "eat" it, though, that is - you cannot give it a corresponding place in your heart.
