INFORMATION ON APPLICATION & IMPERSONAL SERVICE

Law of Life Enlightener – Vol. 1 – No. 1

Application of the information received is important, and it is important to do it each day, rhythmically, not just spasmodically. We eat; we sleep each day as a rule. We do not just eat once and think that is sufficient. The earth makes its revolution each day so the sun’s rays cover certain portions of the planet each day.

The Ascended Master Teaching is for the purpose of spiritual self-development and to attain mastery. The only way that can be done is through application. The same way a baby grows, it needs to eat and exercise, and no one else can do that for it. One can read any number of recipe books and it will not produce a meal, not until one applies it, makes effort in the right direction. Application should be made at least twice a day, morning and evening. In the early work it was suggested that the students do it three times a day.

Application, particularly for those of you to whom this teaching is new, do some decrees, not just meditate. When a person wants to learn to play the piano, he/she does not just meditate or read about it. One has to practice, release energy through the physical body. By also meditating on it will help to become a good musician.

Application is more than just decreeing. It means to do some meditation or contemplation, giving attention to the Presence; do some decreeing and some studying. Even though you have read these things before by going over them again you may see some points you missed before. As your consciousness expands and you get familiar with these unorthodox things and terminology, the Presence can illumine other points to you as your thinking process changes.

As you make application you will begin to feel more positive in your feelings, have more assurance and confidence, and perhaps get a new meaning and purpose in life, the reason for being. Then later on come to know the “I AM” Presence more and more as a reality, also that there is a Divine Plan beyond the human way of living.

Daily application is necessary like eating and sleeping. Also if you want to have money in the Bank, you have to put some there, and most people have to work to do it and to get paid you have to comply with certain rules, schedules, etc.

Application is not just read, say or rattle off a bunch of decrees. One should practice getting still, reading, studying and visualising too.

IMPERSONAL SERVICE

In the past under the occult law, to develop spiritually one had to enter one of the Ascended Master’s Retreats. In order to get in a Retreat, one had to already be developed to a certain point, which was beyond that of a truth-seeker in the outer world now. In a Retreat one is severed and protected from the outer world activities, here he could develop further which could only be done in a Master’s Retreat. By adhering to the disciplines and persevering, still he might have to do that for several embodiments before he passed the necessary initiations. He had to make some progress or he would be asked to leave. Then when he did attain the ability to prolong life in the physical body, which was the goal, then he could render the impersonal service necessary in order to give somewhat of a balance back to life. This was required before he could enter his eternal Freedom - his Ascension. This took many years, a hundred or several hundred years, of impersonal service before he would complete the Ascension into the Light. There are human beings in Retreats, yet they had to qualify to be admitted.

Now because of the great need and with the release of the Cosmic Light people in the outer word while carrying on their daily activities can learn to render impersonal service and accumulate merit towards their own individual Ascension. However, service to the Light which is impersonal service is more than just some altruistic act.

Formerly the action was: first, self-development; second, service to the whole. Now it is reversed, first comes service to the whole, and second self-development. However, the second must not be neglected. If one had rendered sufficient impersonal service to attain the Ascension, but had not purified and developed or conditioned his lower bodies, he could not ascend until that was done.

When people begin to awaken spiritually they usually begin to want to do things for others, whereas before they would only do for themselves, and family or close friends. They begin to spread out a bit, and do more than just work for a pay check.

Some help with work in some altruistic organization, or do some church work. However, usually the ego still wants credit, or it wants to see where it has done good. Church people claim that what they are doing is serving God. Yet it is just holding within a certain boundary of certain human concepts which they call serving God.

Metaphysical people operate within the boundary of certain metaphysical human concepts, which they call truths.

One can do dozens of constructive things or be constructively occupied and yet not be rendering impersonal service or fulfilling the Divine Plan of his/her lifestream.

Nor is just being a “do gooder” what is meant by serving the Light. People still have free will to do other than work within the Divine Plan, and so keep on in the human way.

People in the outer world do not qualify to enter Ascended Master’s Retreats. Now the students get their training and initiations right out here in their daily activities under natural circumstances; instead of in the Retreats where most of the tests were conjured up and brought about through projections. Under the Dispensations in the 1930’s and 1950’s, the Masters came where we were and gave this Teaching for the New Age, instead of us going to Them. And too, they opened some Retreats and the students could go there in their inner bodies while asleep.

In the 1930’s with the release of the Cosmic Light and the step-up of the activities planetary and cosmic, some students in that period lived as much as it would have taken seven or more embodiments previously. Then again in the 1950’s the service rendered amounted to the equivalent of several more embodiments.
