and beautiful thought is about the future. It conforms with the Fiery World.

282. Useful for Hiero-inspiration is the current which is called the Seal of the Hierarch. It can be
sensed upon the nape, it shines as a white ray. Through knowledge of Hiero-inspiration it is
possible to remember this sensation.
283. A subtle sound is like the language of the Subtle World. It is apprehended without coarse
earthly vibrations, just as the music of the spheres is attuned to our subtle vibrations; and thus is
received a sensation of the beautiful.
284. Usually people do not understand that a great manifestation is still more sensitive than a
small one. Precisely in the great manifestation is a still larger amount of psychic energy required;
consequently each obscuration, irritation, or mistrust is especially harmful. When the World is
awaiting new conditions it is necessary to manifest special sensitiveness.
285. The Teaching should be read under different conditions, yet the effect will not be always
identical. At a time of consternation the Teaching will bring tranquility, at a time of affliction-
consolation, at a time of doubt-affirmation, but in order to absorb the reality of the Teaching, one
must repress one's casual sensations by penetration into the treasury of Hierarchy. Not merely as
a comfort has the Teaching been given, but for advancement upon the ladder of ascent. Indeed,
under the special conditions of the world, a deepening of comprehension is especially difficult.
Already more than once the world has tottered on the boundary line between mechanics and the
spirit. The present is precisely such a time, intensified by the attacks of the dark forces.
Multifarious is the bazaar of material rubbish; first of all one must appraise everything in order to
set up new values. Thus, the ability to re-appraise within the consciousness will be the threshold
of the future. Admission means recognition, and many dark visitors have been admitted by
humanity. Such invitations weigh heavily during the transitional state. The heart must be urged to
raise its voice for the regeneration of the World.
286. That man is good who creates good. Creation of good is the improvement of the future. One
can do good to one's fellow in order to better his existence. It is possible for entire nations to be
uplifted by heroic achievement. It is possible to introduce into life the most useful discoveries,
which must transform the future. Finally, it is possible to improve the thinking of a nation; and in
this will be a synthesis of good. How beautiful is thought-creativeness which is not directed
toward evil! When a people apprehends all the evil of condemnation, it opens new gates to the
future. So much time is thus freed for cognition, for the art of thinking, for the creation of true
good; and in these the best fires of the heart are kindled. Such fires are not kindled in evil. Such
good will preserve health and to a large extent purify the atmosphere. It is absurd to think that
good is an abstraction or a personal merit. It is the salvation of the future, for without it there is no
affirmation of ascent. Thus each thought of good is already an arrow of Light. Somewhere it has
already exterminated disunity, and any disunity, in malice, is a lapse into chaos. Therefore teach
to think about good.
287. We often hear about pains from old wounds. They seem to have healed, the physical tissues
have grown together, but pains still continue. Also one may hear that only suggestion can help in
these cases. Can it be imagined that the subtle body does not ache when it has been injured? A
wound heals physically, but the subtle body may still feel pain. Of course, if the consciousness of
a man has been developed, he can by his own command compel the subtle body to become well.
But in other cases suggestion is required, acting on the subtle body in conformity with the
physical process. Thus do those who know the complex of the organism improve the condition of
all its bodies.

288. Current events once again indicate the significance of thought. Already you see that luxury
has been challenged. Likewise, you see that magic has received condemnation, and thinking is
being directed toward Hiero-inspiration. These two trends are very harmful for the dark ones.
Without luxury and without sorcery they are substantially weakened. But they have still left a
third possibility-the confusion of weak minds. It is most deplorable that weak minds do not
absorb healthy principles. Their instability consumes much energy; therefore We turn our
attention to the main issue, in order to concentrate the energy on what is indispensable. You know
about Our Banner. Let those carry it who can. Therefore, let us manifest tolerance in all else, and
let us compel the dark ones to serve.
289. Blessed is he who instantaneously realizes in his heart the essential reality of Hierarchy. But
if the eyes of the heart are closed, then point out to him the order of succession in all that exists.
