Agni Yoga

Encouraging words

"My young friends, fill up the treasury of your spirit. Absorb
all the sounds, all the colors, all the rhythms from the fathomless source of space. These
finest vibrations, consciously absorbed, will refine your receptivity and your thought.

     The refinement of receptivity will give you the possibility of
penetrating into the Sanctuaries of Space, and will open the joyous path of achievement and
continuous, endless ascent.

     My friends, labor with all the tension of your forces because
only by reaching the limit of your tension do new possibilities come to you. The laws are
alike in everything. We know that sublime energies are born if the greatest efforts. Therefore,
only increased activity and intensified strength will bring the achievement of beauty.

     And I beg you, do not fear difficulties. Display readiness to
meet all obstacles, for each obstacle strengthens you and leads you to the future victory.
Try to love the difficulties, and say, “Blessed be the obstacles, through them we grow.”
Courageously, inspired by striving, realizing the majesty of the endless perfecting of creative
life, strive toward the calling Infinity — infinity of lives, infinity of achievements,
infinity of knowledge, infinity of construction, infinity of beauty!

     My young friends, hearken to the Call of Creative Infinity!"

More and more Im noticing how various paths weave together to the point where they are at their essence barely distinguishable. My first explorations took me into Casteneda's books, then to Theosophy, I also learned much from Buddhism, Lao Tzu, then Agni Yoga and in more recent years Transpersonal Psychology which attempts to take the whole subject into the arena of science. Quite interesting how the frontiers of science are moving more and more towards the mystical...

Turin, I too am headed to study Transpersonal Psych with the intent of bringing science to the mystical. Im not so sure Im gonna be happy with what I find...the mystery is so much fun to poke around in, to be lost in, to tell stories in...I feel the time for stories is over. I am also finding that there is a terrifying truth, one that can only be realized when the "toys" of childhood are set aside...interesting times at this most powerful solstice.
