Coming to terms with esoteric ideas as relating to our internal world takes some time and effort. We're so turned outward that we ordinarily think in the language of the outer world. What's out there is only a reflection of what's inside us.

What's to keep us from imagining that we're developing when imagination is so powerful, satisfying every center? Are we really struggling against imagination? Is there a way to test our work on ourselves to find if it's true work?

One of the wonderful things about the Infinite is it's infinite. There's no end to it. To grasp this idea with the sense mind is impossible. Another mind is needed. A mind built by higher ideas, not data from the senses.

The simply stated law of Cause and Effect is not nearly as easily understood experientially. This causes an infinite number of errors to thrive. These errors bring untold misery into our personal lives and the lives of countless others. There is a remedy.

Esoteric ideas necessarily fall externally on us. It takes more years than we like to think for them to become more internal to us. There are things that we can do to aid the process. There are signs that they have begun to be more internal.

A tour of the need, purpose and use of parable, allegory and fable in the transmission of esoteric ideas. Sadly, if this is misunderstood it can act as a barrier to the reception of these ancient ideas seeded on the earth to open the way for man's possible transformation.

The purpose of an esoteric school, represented in esoteric literature as a vineyard, has as its purpose the production of fruit. The fruit can and must be produced in an individual. Knowing what blocks the production of fruit is a crucial study.

Ridding ourselves of identification and negative emotions is only half the job before us. There's a great danger in leaving an internal vacancy. Esoteric literature warns us of this danger but most of us don't understand the language well enough to get the message.

This Work, esoteric ideas, will never work for those who take it very heavily, very seriously. There is an eternal boy in each of us able to receive these ideas properly and be nourished by them. This is the intermediary between the two worlds.

What makes this Work so difficult? It's the lower centers we use to touch life. How can we get the lower centers to get something from the Higher Centers? We need a new force.
