Lesson 25 - Review of Techniques

We list for you hereunder the various techniques and the chapters in which they are included. They have been given to you with the aim of helping you along your spiritual path.

While some may feel they do not need techniques, it is necessary in this day and age, for us to have some method whereby we can counteract the destructive forces continually bombarding us, which help to distract the mind and destroy the body.

Practice all the techniques, then if you find them too much, sort out the ones that suit you and do them regularly.

The secret behind any technique is the regular practice, not letting anything stop you from your routine, until it becomes as natural as breathing.

Mind control, mind expansion, knowledge of the Divine, will all unfold in a natural way, at the right time through these methods.

The simplest, and yet the most effective methods have been given. Because a thing appears easy, do NOT UNDERRATE its potency.

This is a mistake many intellectuals have made. They bypass the easy way, thinking it too simple to work and search for hard and intricate methods. They lose themselves in a maze of intellectual data, until the way is so far behind, it may take many, many more incarnations to wend their way back to the easy, simplest methods toward Self-Realisation and truly being as a little child.

This is a story of three castaways on an island who had no education and did not know any prayers, so they repeated the word God, God, God as their prayer.

A Bishop heard of these three simple folk and decided to go and teach them how to pray. He arrived at the island and spent a great deal of time teaching them various prayers.

Finally he left. As he sailed away, he looked back, and lo, and behold the three men were walking across the water to the ship, and a great light surrounded them.

They called out to him to stop the ship, as they had forgotten the prayers that he had taught them.

The Bishop looked at these simple folk, walking on the water, surrounded by a brilliant light. Go back to your island and repeat the words you have always used, you do not need anything else. God is with you.

The simple people would probably find the way much easier because they do not have their minds continually working at top speed on all the intellectual data that they have accumulated.

Be still, and know that l AM GOD.

In the preliminary lesson, we asked that you repeat the question WHO AM I?

The answer will not come immediately, it will gradually be revealed as you progress.

In the first lesson. we teach the various breathing techniques including the cleansing breaths.

Lesson Two has given you the means of relaxing.

Lesson Three and Four have diagrams of exercises.

The most important is Lesson Five with techniques for living.

Meditation methods are in Lesson Six.

Techniques to do with Thought are in Lesson Eight.

The Universal Sound techniques are in Lesson Eleven, whereby you can hear the inner sounds of the Universe.

Mantra Techniques in the form of Japa are in Lesson Thirteen.

A Technique for contacting the Higher Self is in Lesson Twenty-three.

Finally a Spiritual Initiation technique is in Lesson Twenty-four.

The other lessons are just as important. We have not wasted any words, putting only the important things together for your use.

We hope you use them.
