…e character of any pupil. What helped him in the past may hinder another in the future. Yet since the Master is pledged to serve, he may take up that service on these simple lines. Since all thoughts are veils of this Light, he may advise the destruction of all thoughts, and to that end teach those practices which are clearly conducive to such destruction. These practices have now fortunately been set down in clear language by order of the A.-. A.-. . In these instructions the relativity and limitation of each practice is clearly taught, and al…

…learn something, to achieve something, which when gained does not seem worth even the utterance of the wish. But this is a wrong view to take. The discipHne necessary in order to learn Latin will stand us in good stead when we wish to do something quite different. At school our masters punished us; when we leave school, if we have not learned to punish ourselves, we have learned nothing. In fact the only danger is that we may value the achievement in itself. The boy who prides himself on his school knowledge is in danger of becoming a college p…

… They are almost entirely composed of the planet (or whatever it is) to which they are attributed. The other components of their being I take to be almost accidental. For example, the Archangel Ratziel is lord of a company of angels called Auphanim; and one must not imagine that all these angels are identical with one another, or there would not seem to be much sense in it. They have some sort of composition, some sort of individuality; and the character and appearance of the Angel can be determined by its name. 279
