Title: FW: [globalnews] Spiritual Insight: Use It or Lose It
NOETIC ENERGY
Man is not meant to propitiate elementals or mechanically perform
rituals, but rather to elevate self-consciousness and establish a
proper relation with divine ideas. As with the development of any
faculty, the greater the exercise, the easier it will become. If one
is truly serious about maturing spiritually and gaining the cool
confidence to constitute oneself a chela, then one must concentrate
and incarnate sacred teachings without idle and futile speculation
about one's abilities and prospects. Ability inevitably grows with
application, and with it the will to further application. In time, as
psychospiritual centres gradually awaken in their natural and
proportional order, one will be prepared to deal with higher levels of
noetic energy. In order to hold, preserve and extend them, one will
have to withdraw the mind repeatedly from the proclivities and
delusions of the persona. In this way noetic insight will emerge,
even if imperfectly mirrored on the plane of the phrenic and the
psychic. One cannot leap immediately to the pure apprehension of
Nous, but one may assuredly move in that direction in waking life. As
one sincerely tries, unexpected and unsought help will come in a
variety of ways, enabling one to see profounder and more numinous
meanings as veil upon veil is lifted. The more one uses what one
knows, the more meaning will come to one's aid, with a greater
continuity of ardent aspiration.
