People usually have absolutely no idea how to use the given Teaching. When they hear

some formula which seems familiar, they haughtily exclaim, “Again the same thing, known to

everyone!” They do not attempt to verify the extent to which this familiar formula has been

realized and applied by them. They do not stop to think that the useful Teaching is given not for

the sake of novelty but for the upbuilding of a worthy life.

The Teaching of Life is not a compilation of unheard-of utopias. Humanity is of very

ancient origin; and in the course of ages multifarious sparks of Wisdom have been poured upon

Earth, but every cycle has its key. If someone can recognize the present key as a familiar one,

then let him rejoice and be thankful for an indication which is close to him. It seems simple, but

in reality it proves to be very difficult. People love to listen to news and to receive toys, but few

are ready to refine their consciousness.

It cannot be that one of the elements has not been stressed in the Teachings. Fire has

been mentioned a thousand times, but now the stressing of Fire is no longer a repetition, for it is a

warning about events which concern the planet's fate. Most people will not be able to say that in

their hearts they have been preparing for the Fiery Baptism, although the most ancient Teachings

forewarned about the inevitable Epoch of Fire.

FIERY WORLD

Part Two

1. Now let us approach still closer to the study of the conditions of the Fiery World. The

divisibility of the spirit may call forth many questions. One may certainly ponder to what an

extent the chemism of the Luminaries influences the separated portions of the spirit. During long

distance flights parts of the spirit may be exposed to the most varied influences. Indeed, even the

fiery bodies cannot avoid various influences, but an open consciousness will always help to find

the better vibrations. From the earthly state of consciousness it is difficult to control the separated

parts of the spirit, and these messengers of the spirit mostly adapt themselves to the local

conditions. Therefore, they may sometimes be very clear and audible and sometimes very hazy,

in all manifestations. Such a condition is created not by the spirit of the sender and not even by

the one who receives, but by the chemism of the currents. Even the most Fiery Beings are subject

to cosmic currents. This by no means diminishes their lofty nature, but only confirms the

immutable laws. One must be imbued with the majesty of the Universe to such an extent that one

accepts the laws of the Great Luminaries.

When we look in wonderment at the Chinese carved ivory spheres, one can imagine how

great must be the tension of will for the condensation of mass in the formation of heavenly

bodies.

2. To come to the realization of the necessity not to diminish the attainment of the acceptance of

the law, will be already the joy of the spirit. To understand how the Great Planetary Spirits revere

discipline, will be already the joy of the spirit. To realize the fiery being within oneself, will be

already the joy of the spirit. But to understand this being as a very great responsibility, will be

valor.

I affirm that there is no greater joy for Us than to see you accept these qualities of the

spirit. The fiery consciousness is already the finest chemism. It manifests most fully in the

interplanetary spaces. Where the physical body feels already exhausted, there begins the fiery

breath. Therefore, beings are divided into two types-one thrives in the depths of the lower strata,

and the other aspires towards summits.

3. Fiery healing by far-off currents is obvious, but people will try to deny it. The coarsest form of

electricity will be accepted, but the currents of highest tension will be actually ridiculed. Yet

useful people more than once have been able to feel these salutary vibrations. The rhythms

indicated long ago certainly do not exhaust many other vibrations, from strongly affecting

tremors to the most subtle.

I wish now to point out a very important circumstance. Even under the impact of these

cosmic currents the human will has a great significance. He who does not wish to accept these

currents will experience a very moderate reaction, but voluntary acceptance will give a very

accelerated effect. Of course, there also may be a third circumstance-when the link with

Hierarchy is firm and conscious, then, both for the Sender and for the receiving one, the

manifestation of best obtainable effects is easy. Not without reason did I direct your attention to

this mutually facilitating energy. It will help to conserve energy, and this is of great importance,

especially now when there are so many cross-currents.

One may easily remember occasions when during the action of useful currents the

receiving one persistently repeated—“my bed is strongly shaken, of course it is from an

earthquake.” By such light minded denials people often diminish the influence of most effective

energies.

Let the fiery healing compel people to ponder about Those Who apply Their best efforts

for the benefit of humanity.

4. There are no shadows in the Fiery World. This is not difficult to imagine, because even upon

earth it is possible if one arranges the sources of light properly. The luminosity of all parts of the

Fiery World produces a continuous glow. Thus also is consciousness permanently awake, for

there is no sleep. Such tension becomes possible when the inner fire completely corresponds to

the cosmic one, but in full harmony the tension is not felt.

It is quite just to call the music of the spheres the Song of Fire. Are not the fiery

vibrations concordant? And is not this resounding nurtured with radiations? Thus when we call

Agni “the Keeper of the Gates” and understand the unutterable link, then we too resound. One

may resound also here, if only for a moment, then all earthly habits become obsolete. Thus one

must affirm in the heart all sparks of the Fiery World. May the earthly habits be replaced by the

Fiery Truth.

5. Let us remember the myth about the Origin of Mountains. When the Planetary Creator toiled

over the formation of the earth, He gave attention to fertile plains which could provide people

with a quiet agriculture. But the Mother of the World said, “Verily, people will find bread and

trade in the plains, but when gold will pollute the plains whither shall go the pure in spirit to

gather strength? Either let them have wings, or let them have mountains, in order to escape from

gold.” And the Creator answered, “It is too early to give wings to people, they would carry death

and destruction. But let us give them mountains. Even if some be afraid of them, for others they

will be salvation.” Thus there are two kinds of people-people of the plains and people of the

mountains

One may remember now these myths, which foretold the contamination of the planet.

Indeed, why do people investigate to little the chemism of the air? Even with earthly apparatus

one may record the condensation of destructive substances. Of course not always can these

currents be detected, just as is the case with the photographing of the manifestations of the Subtle

World, which will not always be successful, but with patience much can be recorded. The Fiery

World does not easily lend itself to earthly observations.

6. Let us recall the myth about the “Origin of Lightning.” The Mother of the World said to the

Creator, “When the Earth will be covered with dark veils of malice, how will the salutary drops

of Bliss penetrate?” And the Creator answered, “Torrents of Fire may be gathered which can

pierce the thickest layer of darkness.” The Mother of the World said, “Verily, the sparks of Fire

of Thy Spirit can give salvation, but who will collect and guard them for use when needed?” The

Creator replied, “Trees and herbs will preserve My sparks, but when the leaves fall off, then let

the deodar and its sisters preserve throughout the year their accumulations of Fire.” Thus in

various myths there has been reflected the link with the Higher World. Everywhere there has been

stressed solicitude about humanity and all creatures. Likewise did the ancient priests carefully

watch over the correct distribution of the creative Fire.

Nowadays man crosses fruits and plants without proper supervision, but one should

observe through lengthy experiments how best to preserve the fiery substance. One must not

lightmindedly interfere with the creativeness of Nature. The best counsels can be given from the

Fiery World, but one should seek this Benefaction.

7. Now you are astonished that the Battle lasts so long, because the expansion of consciousness

extends the boundaries of the being. Indeed it would be lightmindedness to think that the One

Who revolted against Light were a weakling. One must understand that the Forces of Light
