Leaves of Morya's Garden - Book 1 - The Call (1924) - 3:
3.
Those who are obsessed with matters of the earthly world
can receive no answers from the Heights. Fate can be overcome if you
manifest the Christ, Who sacrificed Himself for Truth.
Leaves of Morya's Garden - Book 2 - Illumination (1925) -
3.5.8:
Just so can two different truths coalesce in a healthy
organism. A man who is obsessed with thought about
different truths is like the man who ponders about the difference of his
eyes, he looses perspective of conception.
Heart (1932) - 77:
77. There are many who become
obsessed during the transition of mankind to spiritual
creativeness; as if someone had duplicated the keys to loose locks. It is
especially necessary to study people cautiously. Moreover, it is necessary
to remember that the obsessed have a peculiar logic, full
of contradictions. If one wants to help them, one can, by the force of
suggestion, drive out the one who is in possession; or one can leave the
person in peace, and even, if possible, isolate him entirely. Because the
entity which obsesses a person is not so much in need of the person
himself, as of the influence exerted through him upon those who surround
him. The worst thing is partially to vex the obsessed
person by demanding from him the sane logic of which he is incapable. It
is bad to begin to pity aloud the one who is obsessed, or
to condemn his contradictions. The strong and striking command or
isolation can ease the fate of a weak heart, because through weakness of
the heart obsession creeps in. The fire of the heart singes all woolly
visitors.
Heart (1932) - 77:
The rejection of the Teacher cuts off
all possibilities, especially when the denial enters into the
consciousness long before obsession. Thus, people often arouse already
latent negations and, of course, the consequence is primarily manifested
by the rejection of the Teacher, for each chaotic state of consciousness
expresses indignation at creativeness and cooperation. In chaos are rooted
the seeds of evil, which are suppressed by hard experience. But at the
present time there is an unprecedented number of obsessed
persons. Darkness also desires to assert itself.
Heart (1932) - 169:
169. It happens that people are so
savage in spirit that they can only live by condemning each other. This is
not an inspection of another's armor with the view of helping; on the
contrary, condemnation becomes the meaning of life. If one deprives such a
condemner of his tongue, he will perish and wither like a plant without
water. Such a manifestation can be investigated from a medical point of
view. One can see in this condemnation a kind of obsessive vampirism, when
the possession of more active vital fluids is needed to nourish the
obsessed one.
Heart (1932) - 213:
213. Obsession must be very clearly
defined. One must not be astonished to notice a number of
obsessed persons near the hearths of spirituality. The
reason for this is that the dark ones strive to reinforce their guard.
Who, if not the obsessed, can best help the dark forces?
In this field the multiformity of obsessions is incalculable. One must
primarily discriminate where there is Good, and were essentially there is
harm. Thus, the flaming heart will discern immediately where obsessionis
concealed.
Heart (1932) - 219:
219. There is much tension; one must
understand how closely the world situation is bound with the work. It is
impossible to divide them when the general situation is equal to an
unprecedented battle; therefore I command you to remain undivided, imbued
with the tension of the moment. There must be no retreat; it is necessary
unitedly to press the obsessed ones. If a jest be
permitted, one may call this phase of the battle, the battle against
obsession. Verily, the dark ones try to strengthen themselves through
obsession. But their methods cannot be of long duration, for they
disintegrate themselves precisely through obsession. You know how
obsession gradually destroys the organism; the paralysis of certain nerve
centers is inevitable. Hence, physicians could do so much useful work by
directing attention to obsession. Ask the physician whether he did not
notice special peculiarities in the eyes of obsessed
persons. For one can judge duality of existence by the eyes. But I do not
refer to a purely superficial manifestation such as a dull or shifting
glance. Other symptoms must be observed. One can also observe symptoms in
the walk, the voice, and even a change in the weight. Do not ask
psychiatrists about it, because their theories are fossilized, but
physicians of the new type can observe impartially. And yet, how greatly
such observations are needed, now when obsession is becoming epidemic!
Sensing the weakness of human hearts, hordes of sly spirits avidly rush to
capture the flavor of Earth.
Heart (1932) - 235:
235. It already has been said that upon
discovering obsession one must either drive out the obsessor or leave the
obsessed person alone in quiet and solitude; because then
the obsessor, unable to find a field of activity, will become bored and
depart. Of course, it is best not to allow the obsessed
persons either weapons or alcohol, but in such a way that they shall not
in the least feel their isolation.
Heart (1932) - 266:
266. Do you not notice that there are
many obsessed ones around? One should pay attention to
the unprecedented obsession. In this way one can fight it. It is primarily
necessary to realize with whom one deals; for to realize means to conquer.
Heart (1932) - 276:
276. Fatigue is of course brought by
neither spring nor autumn, but the densification of the currents is
pressing upon the centers. It cannot be otherwise when legions of the
obsessed and of the infuriated are rushing headlong.
Thus, one should not be astonished when the obsessed ones
in remote continents begin to pronounce the same formulas. This is one
more example of the rule of the Invisible World from the one common
Source. For Light and also darkness are monarchic. Inversely it is most
instructive to observe the world thought; on both sides one can see a
definite division, since each side will apply its own efforts and decisive
measures. Thus, even from the earthly plane one can observe the division
of forces and understand the movements of the armies.
Heart (1932) - 303:
303. It means that even in purely
physical illnesses it is necessary to seek the cause in the quality of
thought. Therefore, direct the thoughts of those who surround you
gradually toward good. You already have an example of how much pain is
caused by cursing and profanity, even at far distances. It is necessary
attentively to direct the heart upon existing reality. Especially can
those obsessed ones act who contact the aura, even
slightly. Thus, it is very necessary to pay attention to the very first
impression of people when the heart is able to give its sign. One can
easily imagine what type of infection-carriers obsessed
people may be, therefore it is necessary to avoid them.
Fiery World - Book 1 (1933) - 137:
137. Add, when writing
to the Latvian physician During observations of the eyes of the
obsessed he must not lose sight of the fact that an
observed symptom may change. At the approach of fiery energy, the symptom
may disappear, as it were. The obsessing agent may begin to rave, or it
may withdraw, taking the symptom with it. Therefore, the observation
should be carried on without sending the fiery energy beforehand,
otherwise this action will turn into expulsion of the obsessor. Such an
action is excellent in itself, but it is beyond the scope of the oculist.
The same reaction is sometimes observed in skin diseases which, under the
influence of fiery energy, alter their appearance and even disappear. Let
us not forget that obsession is sometimes manifested cutaneously, or by
twitchings of the face. Nevertheless, the Latvian physician deserves
praise, for it is not easy to perceive the crystals of brown gas.
Fiery World - Book 1 (1933) - 280:
280. The physician must
also be warned to be cautious with the obsessed. When
approaching the obsessed, one should remember not to hold
even the conjecture of obsession too definitely in mind. One must not
forget that an obsessor is highly sensitive to thoughts, once he suspects
that his presence is discovered. He can express his malice in many ways.
By destroying an obsession one can make many enemies, therefore one should
conduct one's observations without personally disclosing the fact.
Fiery World - Book 1 (1933) - 373:
373. The fiery
understanding of obsession is called "Urumiya." Man is not the only one to
possess this straight-knowledge; certain animals close to man sense this
dreadful state. Horses and dogs in particular sense and resent the
proximity of obsessed persons. In ancient China there was
a special breed of dogs, highly prized, which was very sensitive and
useful in detecting the obsessed. In ancient times it was
also a custom to exhibit the horses and dogs before guests, observing at
the same time the reaction of the animals. Many envoys were put through
this test. One should observe that cats also sense obsession, but usually
quite inversely. Obsession induces happiness in them. For example, when a
cat senses an obsessed person or his impelling presence,
it does not hide, but walks around mewing happily, whereas a dog bristles
up and either tries to hide or to attack such a person. One ought to
develop Urumiya in oneself, not only for protection but for the purpose of
expelling the obsessor. Very often a single conversation about the
significance of Agni begins to act upon the obsessor. Fearing fire, the
very mention of the fiery energy angers him and forces him to retreat.
Fiery World - Book 1 (1933) - 437:
437. Let us write down,
and tell the physician, about obsession. Indeed, there may be cases where
the obsessor gains such control over the body of the
obsessed as almost to dislodge him. One can also
encounter cases where the obsessor is so empowered by the vital force of
the obsessed that the expulsion of the obsessor will
cause death. He has so usurped the psychic energy of the
obsessed that the latter loses his vitality upon
separation. Therefore expulsion must always be carried out most
cautiously. At first one watches the diet of the patient and observes his
psychic energy. If a decline of vitality is noticed the weakened heart
must not be strained. Expulsion is generally easiest during an attack of
fury. The aroused energy helps to overcome the possible decline of heart
action, which might otherwise end in complete prostration.
Fiery World - Book 1 (1933) - 562:
562. When I permitted
you to record Our Communions, I did not conceal from you that people would
utter many evil words about the most lofty concepts. He who thinks about
good must not be astonished when he is called a hypocrite, a necromancer,
a murderer, and a liar. As if obsessed, people will apply
the most unfitting epithets to him. Wherever there is not thought about
good the evil tongue is always ready.
Fiery World - Book 1 (1933) - 643:
643. Verily, one must
have discrimination to ascertain true significances. Many are the
illusions and phantoms that obscure an evaluation of the real advance of
the spirit. Many appearances of the dark forces attempt to seduce or
terrorize one. Such attacks are especially preponderant in the vicinity of
obsessed or mentally diseased persons, who are like open
gates, not only attracting entities to themselves but creating a kind of
channel for all surrounding people. The border lines of psychic illnesses
are quite imperceptible, therefore I advise great caution. I consider it
useless to expend one's strength in all experiments with obsession when
one's own ill health disturbs the equilibrium. Whisperers can attach
themselves to the ear that is ailing. and only a firm consciousness can
shake off these asps without delay. You already know that no sickness
should be neglected. One must immediately inoculate oneself with vigor and
not forget about Agni.
Fiery World - Book 3 (1935) - 58:
Indeed, the leaders of
the spirit do not practice suggestion nor hypnotism, and great faith in
Hierarchy is not illusion but the life of the Subtle World. The
manifestation of followers and pupils is a consequence of the magnet of
the spirit of the Hierarch. Thus let us remind all faint-hearted and
obsessed ones, who are not averse to employ blasphemy and
betrayal. Hardly any manifestation is more deplorable than lack of
understanding of the Hierarchic Principles of Existence. Let us manifest
understanding for the magnet of the spirit on the path to the Fiery World.
Fiery World - Book 3 (1935) - 112:
112. The protective
network is formed out of subtlest energies. All centers participate in the
formation of this powerful shield. For a complete circle it is necessary
that all the spiritual centers intensify their energies. From out of the
centers of the spirit it is especially necessary to tense the heart,
because by its power it can transmute thinking. Right thinking produces
stability, which is the first requirement. Steadfastness expels duplicity,
fear and doubt. The protective net can defend a man, making him
invulnerable. But this shield can only then be affirmed when all subtle
energies have been harmonized. The experience of Agni Yogi truly provides
this shield, but a most cautious regard for the centers is necessary. The
protective net must be continually saturated with the energies from
within, as a fiery, eternally ascending spiral. Spiritual centers must
nurture this power. The protective net passes on with the spirit into the
Subtle World. Woven from the subtlest energies, it can become assimilated
into the Fiery World; only the highest strivings may be reflected in it.
People who live by means of lower centers have no protective net.
Obsessed ones do not have this shield. Therefore, on the
Fiery path one should take care of the interweaving of the subtlest
energies.
Fiery World - Book 3 (1935) - 467:
467. One may observe
examples of cruel obsession. It is needful that physicians fully
understand such a beastly condition in order to know how to cut off the
infection. It is right to isolate the obsessed similarly
as lepers. Certain degrees of obsession may be incurable. Brain and heart
may degenerate from dual pressure, but the steadfast, upright, cognizing
spirit knows not obsession.
AUM (1936) - 368:
368. It is known that each evil action
has to be lived down, yet you will be asked, "How does justice react upon
the obsessed? Who bears the effect - the
obsessed or the obsessor?" Who can distinguish were the
will of the obsessor is and where the will pertaining to the
obsessed himself?
AUM (1936) - 368:
Obsession takes place only when an access
has been opened. Moreover, before obsession takes place, the evil one
whispers and prepares the weak spirit. To those inclined to evil appear
the entities attracted by them. The karma of the obsessed
is a grievous one!
Supermundane - The Inner Life - Book 1 (1938) -
56:
Recently you heard about an instance of obsession. It was an
almost hopeless case because the sick woman was tired of struggling and
had become a follower of the obsessor. Also, those who surrounded her
increased her sickness. Usually such obsessed ones should
be taken to a new place and their surroundings changed. It was not
possible to influence her by writing, but through personal magnetism the
growth of terror could be stopped. People do not understand how much one's
surroundings encourage the development of certain illnesses. Thus one
should become accustomed to being in the position of a physician. Our
Inner Life is filled with healing activities.
Supermundane - The Inner Life - Book 1 (1938) - 227:
The
Thinker was particularly concerned about wise dissemination of the
Teaching, and practiced strict discipline to prevent the word from
reaching those who were not ready to receive it. A foolish broadcaster was
looked upon as if he were obsessed, and often he was.
Supermundane - The Inner Life - Book 2 (1938) - 342:
It is
astonishing that seemingly enlightened people are not ashamed to soil
themselves by opposing benevolent work. Why do they become so savage and
utter such shameful things? It often happens that they are
obsessed, but it may also be a case of poisoning by
chaos. Such circumstances should be studied scientifically. When their
feelings are temporarily obscured, people can act in the most shameful
manner without even realizing it. Later they may feel regret, but the deed
has already been done, and karma determined. |
