Esoteric Lesson

I would like to begin with an introduction. This call (to participate in the esoteric teachings that have been promised) has once again confirmed how little this movement is taken seriously, even by long-standing members. Immediately after the call was issued, there were all kinds of discussions, and what emerged is something that should not have happened. As long as members continue with their criticism of every action taken by higher authorities, as long as there are members who repeatedly introduce completely foreign personalities, not out of interest in the movement, but out of some personal interest, it will not be possible to present the great spiritual truths that must now be spoken. If you have been in the movement for seven years and have taken in the teachings, then major changes should have taken place in your view of life, so that you no longer apply the same criticism as before, where completely different actions are supposed to result. Many of our members have been with us for more than seven years, and there is no sign of a change in their judgments. This transformation should be expressed in every behavior, in every action. Instead of this happening, everything remains the same. If more criticism were directed at spiritual science and more trust were placed in the personalities who have been put in place to carry out this or that work, the movement would be in a better state. Instead, one experiences a belief in authority in abundance. Just think of the many who have fallen away, how they were previously adored and revered! Healthy criticism would have been more appropriate in these cases. Falling away from the movement should actually be impossible, and it is the strongest proof of the lack of seriousness that still prevails among us. And this seriousness cannot be felt deeply enough when we look at the catastrophic events of our time.
