The Nature and Work of the Masters IV

Memorandum notes by Eugenie von Bredow

After a few introductory words for a new member to be admitted, he spoke so beautifully that I think I felt even more than I did on October 4.

He spoke about the most important event of our time: the conquest of Tibet by the English, the people of selfishness, which would cause the last vestige of spirituality on earth to disappear. He spoke about the religion of the Tibetans, its inner purity of conception, about Buddhism as taught by Buddha in the intimacy of his disciples; that the incarnate teacher on earth would be the female element, which would have to be fertilized by the divine, the male element. From this union the Boddhisattva would arise, of whom the Tibetans say: he has Avalokidishvara, divine wisdom. He spoke about the Dalai Lama and his election from among children born under special natural phenomena. He spoke about the spirits of the fire mist, whose disciples were our masters; he spoke about the development of man into such a powerful being. He spoke about the rhythm in nature, the stars, the whole world system; that only the astral body of man is still chaotic and that man must also make it rhythmic, otherwise he would disturb evolution. Then we came to talk about Christmas and the importance of the festivals of the year; that Christmas the sun was at its lowest point and would begin to rise again on the 25th, and that during that night the Masters of the White Lodge would hold a session in which they would radiate the solar power of the coming year to those people who wanted to give themselves completely to them, to give up their personality entirely and ask them for strength. If you celebrate Christmas in this spirit, asking the Masters in this spirit, then they will send their power into you on December 25th, so that the Master's power works through you.

Then he spoke of the last incarnation of Master Kuthumi and his visit to universities to be able to interpret the high wisdom in other languages and in a modern spirit, but that this incarnation was not in a particular personality, but that his power worked here and there.¹
