1 December 1923–26 January 1924[1]

1 December 1923

M.[2]

I smile; I cannot be displeased with you two, for your devotion is great. But the riders and kings can be unbearable. Urusvati’s[3] precautions are good. It is better to throw the Stone into the sea than give It to the enemy. Urusvati understands the meaning of the world construction. The Teacher has entrusted the phenomenon of the revealed miracle only to your hands. Urusvati, now enjoy, and take care of your health. Urusvati, it is better to write to L . . .[4]—the front is not damaged.

No, send your greetings to the Chairwoman.

Not to participate in the congress . . .[5]

Urusvati senses it.

2 December 1923

Shuya and Kolomna will have the best motors.Let your thoughts about them endow Russia.For wild fishermen, the best motorboats will go by the power of your faith.

“Your power will grow, but if you smother the flame you will burn your hands. Let the flame of faith shine freely. The Teacher watches each thought, ready to select the best seeds of the spirit.”[6]

I sense U . . .[7] needs to be helped, if a dragon of ferocity is fettered. First experience before Agra. Better, better, better. Better a Buddhist.(Concerningaservant.)

3 December 1923

In the morning, I heard: Shamo and Gobi will unfold. Vegetables.

Show understanding to the entire idea of the East. Not nations, but the whole tree spread out with all its countless leaves. The phenomenon of the Sun scorched part of the foliage, but from the North, the leaves still reveal closed, wonderful tones. Urusvati is directed to the new places where there are the roots of the tree. But you can go along My shattered path. A miracle must be born from the sea of storms. The spirit factory is not easy.

You can find the Box in My cities. In the meantime, carry It in a handkerchief, it is better to keep It near your faithful hand.

I think it is enough to ride; there are many fragments in the air here. Urusvati, the Teacher is waiting, sending a fair wind to your path, directing you to the North. And do not forget the Lamas. I shall manifest an opportunity. Partially Hindustani and Mongolian, but the direction We will serve in Russian. Possible, as a noble exercise. (Sanskrit).

Praise Li . . .[8] for feelings of love towards the Mountain.

4 December 1923

Truly, you have worked hard, and it is time to give you rest. A pure task will restore your health, and I will take care of it. My Decree is to continue the journey witha peaceful mind, even a fountain of rupees should not bother you. Show the pace of tourists without any excitement.

Proximity of the Stone increases the pressure. For even the sleeping Stone displays the magic signs. Just as a medium is sometimes suppressed or delighted by the table for no apparent reason, similarly the Stone emits the rays to which the body must be accustomed. Still, you need to keep the Stone with you. I will take care of your health. Consider the road to the mountains as the way to the Temple. But preserve your eyes from dust. Time to move.

We passed Jaipur–Amber.[9]

10 December 1923,Agra[10]

The Teacher greets you in His manifested Land. Guess, where My Spirit rejoiced.

Повиговлучу[11] stroke My Ray. Before the heaven, a Russian stranger can capture the box.

I sense a miracle will not pass you by.

Urusvati, the Teacher talks about the possibility of an attempt, but I feel We are on guard. An attempt can be expected on the Stone. Urusvati thinks correctly. Reveal liveliness; no need to grieve. Urusvati, the Teacher will later explain why the casket has no key. Urusvati, let the Teacher love you. The husband briskly teaches the wife to reach the predestined miracle near Tibet.

You have understood when My Spirit rejoiced—while raising the Temple for My wife in Agra.[12] Yes. I speak vaguely, but you will understand. Sa . . .[13] will not step over My Power.

Urusvati, do not be scared in vain, only precaution is needed. Tomorrow you will see the place where the Stone has been abducted.[14] I cannot say—until tomorrow.

11 December 1923, Agra—Fatehpur Sikri[15]

A new revealed gift will increase your heat. Today, you have recognized My Temple of One Religion; My wife was the first Priestess there. A daughter of Indiaone wife. The Mohammedan, she could not accept the idea of a single religion. The shapes on the walls showed images of human delight through the shield of Beauty. The teaching was taking place based on the books of all people who knew the rapture of the spirit. The paths of the spiritthrough sound and color. They taught how to fill life with constant joy; they also read descriptions of the saints about visions of the spirit.

Let us prepare the day when you pronounce the Star of My dreamsthe Teaching of Akbar’s shattered dreams. My helpersI will help you.

13 December 1923

Wait to call a doctor—his patients will leave. Have patience until tomorrow; the pain will pass successfully. Have mercy. (My illness—a cold.)

15 December 1923, Delhi

It is better to call a doctor, and advise him to give the best native water purification. Tomorrow Iwill explain the reason for your sadness in Agra. Send for a doctor. Good messengers come in time—your way is facilitated. Just do not drive them away—everything is channeled.

Until tomorrow.

In the morning, the Voice of the Teacher: “You continue your work.”

16 December 1923

My care of you senses the message about the food condition. Under the Beacon, you strongly need to lighten the way with the porridge. You are tourists in appearance, but My workers in the spirit. The Teacher eats porridge; take care of your health.

Now about Agra. You have felt My sorrow, for you are in My Ray. And Agra for Me is the sorrow of destruction.

“(But)the courageous one demandeth a bow, himself to mark down the bird!”[16]—said Miriam. And verily, she brought the Stone.Thus, is the circle completed.We were sending the Stone to the kings and warriors, but spears are not protection. We will give the treasure to the spirit wanderers—it is more secure in their sum. A miracle will light their way. Urusvati, carry Our Trust. The matters drawn by the constellation are taking place. The Stone will transform the Temple of Dreams into action. I send regards.

N.K.[17]—Jupiter.

Yuriunder the threshold of the Dragon.

I—Myself am Aquarius.

Svetik—Virgo.

I have heard: “Urusvati, only thy name can arouse in Me. . .”[18]

17 December 1923

“M and the understanding of Buddha’s Teaching lead one to the vital understanding of law, conceived upon the Mount of Light. (It is learnt about Urusvati’s veneration of Buddha’s law.) His Law will be of much help on the way to knowledge. His Teaching is My joy. (You can read the priestly word from Me.) My Hand leads to knowledge.”[19]

“Smile when spiritual beggars are called scholars. Smile when someone speaks irreverently about the spirit's understanding, when false books are read, when pure thoughts frighten the small of soul.”[20]

The crafty questioners will leave, but the benefits will remain for you. Go peacefully. You were called Iskander Khanum,[21] for you protected My grave; at the gate of My House, My daughter.

18 December 1923

I demand to lighten the food. The power of the spirit does not grow from heaviness. I instruct you to treat your health with porridge. Learn not to imitate the phenomena of overeating. Urusvati, put regulation on food in Darjeeling. My Order must be fulfilled. I am teaching you how to wait for Me. Urusvati, do what you think. My Manifestation can be easily alleviated.

We passed Benares–Calcutta–Darjeeling.

25 December 1923 Darjeeling[22]

A meeting with an extraordinary Lama who sat in a palanquin and had a crown on his head. He greeted us with a smile at the water spring on the way from Ghum to Darjeeling.

Now, We are close, and the freshness of air will expel the dust from the nerves. I sense the house can be found. Calm your spirit. We shall commence an understanding soon. Thus, We call the condition of the spirit, when conversations and voices give rise to an understanding of thingslike a spark of lightning. Your spirit can already receive these sendings.

Now a diet: wine is banished and smoking as well. All porridges enter the new house. I approve jam, vegetables, and milk. You can also have bread and eggs; beer is harmful. Gather your thoughts during the rest. Fuyama,[23] remember the paintings. Urusvati, remember, a week later, about a light pranayama. You need to rest for one week. For now, guess about the house; think about My House between the heights of Kanchenjunga.

Is it really only in three years that we will see M.M.?—Maybe earlier.

26 December 1923

I will notify the world about the Stone, and following the Star, they will come to you. Let Me choose the best time. I will point out the best place. Now take your breath, turning to My House. Darjeeling is a small place, but the signs can be great. Urusvati felt it was inappropriate to call Me in Calcutta; she will also feel the renewal of forces here.

I can already see the Temple; the Russian hands are laying a stone.

“Learn to consider a Decree immutable.

“You will marvel when the waves of people will raise the pledge of ancient times.”[24]

Sense how to show the new article to the Lama. I believe you may ask about the Stone. A painter is allowed to know the legend. Display an understanding of the legend. Thingsaregoing successfully.

27 December 1923

In circumference, My root is no bigger than someone’s house. The Ray had saved the Dalai Lama from Karma. Find the place of My Ashram, venerated by the Lamas. Appreciate the specified place. Urusvati, find a room where My Messages were repeated. Yes (already I know).

My desire is to emphasize the continuity of the placeR . . . is there, where T . . .[25] is saved. Better to know it from Me. It is better to show the Lamas your knowledge. My desire is to break with the world, turning to the pure mountains. The new thread got into the needle. The impact of the yarn has become richer. It is necessary to describe the movement of My Needle. The carpet of Morya is blooming. Urusvati, things are successful.

28 December 1923

I believe a wonderful time can be expected in a house on a hillside. My Decree: walk like lions. Everywhere is a cobweb of the ring with a lily.

A decree for you: beware of the hands of the Jesuits. The child was given a ring; an evil will is manifested on it. In general, wear old clothes carefully.

“Ailments of the spirit are as contagious as those of the body. This is a simple scientific consideration. Strike upon a table and the objects will vibrate. So much more does a spiritual blow shake the nerves.

“You may touch old things and consciously expel the harm of accumulations.”[26]

Your spirit knows, but in others the spirit is silent.

Teach Poruma[27] to avoid touchingthe old things brought into her room; I prefer to replace them with the new ones and the flowers. It is better for her to have new things closer. Let her hang “Himself has met.”

Yes. Urusvati knows how to create an atmosphere of a future house, manifested for a new life. Let the Ray of Light play on the walls of the future home. The feat is lighter amidst the Light.

29 December 1923

My Shield is above you. Every day I will send the signsjust collect and remember them. Keep your ears vigilant towards the Lamas. Urusvati, give preference to Tibetan servants. Urusvati, it is necessary to preserve the room for yourself. The Teacher knows the pure thoughts manifested here.

Learn: you can stretch out your hands toward the Kanchenjunga summits. The current is good through the fingertips; that is whyyou begin your breathing while stretching out the hands. Inhaling the air, stretch out the hands, then lower the right one, close the nostril with the left hand—thus seven times. Then, stretch out your hands while exhaling with your mouth, as if in the direction of the hands. Then, do the same thing with arms raised and conclude with hands at the mouth. The symbol is following: the first one is—Call of the Teacher; the second—offering to God; the third one—acceptance of Strength.

Hold your breath for seven seconds. Between breaths, skip three seconds.

Urusvati is rightdo not oppress the Tibetans with payment. Think of the honor of a journey through Tibet. Show reverence for Buddha Shrines. Tell the Lamas how happy you are to see the Dalai Lama’s house. You do not need to leave for Tiger Hill. You may be surprised, but the Tiger emblem is not for you. Monasteries are needed. I will advise later.

What is the meaning of my visions of figures in strange robes?

The whirlwind of approaching Tibet. A symbol of a prayer.

30 December 1923

Teach Lumou[28] to read the books. Udraya[29] can give him the books of travels across Asia. He will find them. Reading may occupy his thoughts, in order to understand the impact on the culture of Central Asia after the exodus of the best people. The Persian kings destroyed the occult, pure thinking of the growing life of the Russian East. Only Khotan and Pamir mountain tribes deflected the blow. A stern blow will be repaid by the Teaching that will unite the people of Central Asia. Believing in the miracle of the predestined life, the Pledge will find confirmation among the facts collected from all other people’s aspirations of all times. Our Task is to compare the legends with material monuments. For this purpose, the Scriptures will be scattered; and then, with a single impulseWe will connect the parts already accepted by the brain, and the Stone will grow together under one roof. The Teaching will see the Temple, will lay a monument valuable to Us—the one, conceived in the fourteenth year on Easter when a clash of races became inevitable, anda hand was raised to exclude the criminal spirits here,who have shown unprecedented humiliation of man. We sense it is necessary to break the chains; it is necessary to call the few living ones; it is necessary to lead the fastest way. Amen.

31 December 1923

What was said will be realized. I promise not to miss a minute to bring the hour closer. I ask you to help in this with three conditions. The first is to protect your health; the second—reduce judgment; the third—do not get irritated. Let me explain the condemnation. You condemned India, but you saw only a corpse and the babies.You have passed at the most important moment —verily, an old India has died, and the baby cannot speak. A dead man is in the house; and milk given to the baby is especially needed. Of course, one cannot help smiling at the feet of infants, but the corpse will burn quietly. I direct My Will to restrain the ball of events. Of course, India is not in your ray, but a drop of milk must be given. An idol can move India to a hasty step, but nothing old will come in handy.Religious hatred will droop with the understanding of life salvation. Tagore does not harbor evil—in London he came first.

But you walk like lions. Sounding of Tibet is closer to you. I sense you can prepare for solitude. It is necessary to fill the vessels and add lime to the Bone matter; the rest will come, shining with the stars.

Remind the cook to banish the red pepper. Add the gray pepper yourself—the cook will add the red one.

In every possible way, I prepare the pavement to the Tower of Chun. You will understand—I lead you lovingly to the heights. The capital of Urusvati may be in the Himalayas. I have been hinting for a long time: why does Urusvati from Altai not return to Us for eternal life? But Fuyama, as a messenger, will remain in Altai. To ring the bells in Zvenigorod and move to the Heights of Knowledge. We shall talk in detail in the house.

In the morning I heard: “With a firm mind, there is no danger.”

1 January 1924

Christ said to Buddha: “It is not proper for Us to build the Temples or to ring the bells Ourselves. Brother Buddha, gather those people who can kindle the Third Eye; help them to cross the desert; endow them with a wealth of construction; light a pure star before them; reward them with a measure of confidence. May the Temple be raised with human hands so that Our Cathedral may have a place to enter. We will ponder where to put the builders; what measure of honor to pay to those who will ring the bells throughout the world for Us. Be that in Zvenigorod.” The commandment of Christ is written on January 1, 1924 in front of the great Mountain. Send the recording to the summoned masons.

Urusvati was purely happy about the house; observe the threads of the great yarn.

We affirm you will cross the Mountains with your consciousness. Bring forth the Decree to Taruhan:[30] “I can already see what route he is assigned, and what goods he will take to Altai.”

2 January 1924

I will manifest you the Teaching, but live this year without worries.“In love forge the affirmation of the Heights about the ability to control oneself.”[31] Udraya defames Me no less than Lumou. Urusvati, arrange a room as you understand it. The Teacher rejoices in the pure atmosphere of the future home. I desire to see more Tibetans. The blow, blow, blow will pass by My daughter. I feel a blow to the shield in America. I will point out the blow; I will turn the blow to the Teaching for benefit—so write today. “My Teaching cannot be belittled by the foolishness of hostile slanderers. I see they will badly bruise their brows; but give them time.

“When we approach the Commandment of Christ and Buddha, what is the dust of the threshold to Us? An oyster shell without its contents.”[32]

3 January 1924

I teach you to observe the details of the path. Угедача ваш дролу на луи.[33]

Remember the Decree; the revealed letters will be useful in Ladakh. I teach many useful things; a foreign language sounds strange. Learning from life, from books, and from signs will lead you to understand the complexity of the situation. The true wisdom of the East knows calmly, sensing the defeat of the enemy. Urusvati learns from the sent book how to protect yourselves from suspicion on the short route to Tibet. Sometimes the long way is more correct.

Now you drive openly through the monasteries. You must accustom them to your harmlessness. Interest in local customs, magic, and astrology will simplify your situation. The orders from America, and learning the language, will completely reconcile them with your movements.

I deem it is time to enter the house.

4 January 1924

A pure body burns better with My Fire. Wait until tomorrow.

5 January 1924, Hillside

Urusvati, arrange a pure room. Urusvati, observe the traces of Tibet. Let many threads stretch over this year. Consider this year significant on your journey. At the time of leaving, it will be necessary to have new information. Count every day for enriching yourselves. The fumes of the city must pass. I can gild the path of Lumou, but I ask him to abandon rudeness and lies. Urusvati, praise the Lichtmanns—they are worthy. I foresee their way to Siberia. Let them hurry to complete their American citizenship. A silver work with Taruhan is prepared. Your pavement needs to be paved. Silver horseshoes—along the silver pavement. Morya’s pharmacy will also be useful. Display intuition for different information. I sense there will be a place for you to reach. The Lichtmanns and Taruhan are the best comers. Logvan[34]—in America. The yarn is great. Urusvati should receive the Image of Buddha. It is very important for the future.

From January 6–8, my illness.

9 January 1924

I send you everything needed—just take it. I sense life will be good. The postal service is not safe; therefore, caution is required in letters. It is wrong to mention the Teacher in letters. Point out to Oyana’s[35] address that the subject of an art order can reconcile readers. Narrow-minded people are very much tormented over others’ affairs. They are already reading, surprised at the deceit of the cipher. Time will heal. Urusvati, do not forget astrology. I will point out when you may learn with the Lama. The institutions of the center in Asia must be kept secret. People are very sensitive here; no need to irritate them. We will not intensify the current until the suspicions subside. Even simple souls are very sensitive here. I Myself safeguard you.

10 January 1924

It is necessary to write to Oyana: verily, wonderful things are approaching; we must take care of them.

Urusvati should better display her care towards the servants. Especially when the Buddhists will replace the Hindus. The Decree to Taruhan—to leave.

“Display speed. Spilled seeds are difficult to gather.”[36]

Convince Modra[37] to edit Taruhan’s articles. I am in a hurry to add useful power. A deal is prepared for Taruhan—it is necessary to hurry. The wing to Siberia is prepared for Logvan. I will supplement the plan of acquiring the first mountain in [Altai].[38] It will be good when the silver horseshoes start rattling on the ledges of the Mountain. A wonderful plan is being affirmed. Only with spiritual understanding can an earthly Templebe erected. Every step must be prepared beforehand. It is necessary to timely implement predictions. It is necessary to direct every force for the Holiday—to shelter workers from the rain. Preserve your strength. Do not run up the mountains. Remember the Path, the great Path.

11 January 1924

I reveal the signs of the desert every day; discern the work among the monasteries. Urusvati, take a palanquin. After the womb phenomena, concentration is better. Remember one thing—I do not miss a minute to help you. We move faster than the wind. A runny nose and glands will renew the organism. Do not speak; drink hot milk. Wait through. The earliest date contains no harm.

12 January 1924

“Learn to comprehend the manifestation of the Teaching as a miracle, in order to manifest the Shield on all paths. I feel each moment that is useful to you.

“Our Front Line stands as a wall, and a smile flashes as lightning over all faces at each of your successful moves. As a gardener sees that the garden be covered with buds, uprooting the weeds, so We watch the movements of the chosen hands. Joyous is each resourcefulness, because the shield is forged on both sides.”[39]

It is possible to admit new miracles. Convey to Lichtmann: I will be demonstrating My Sign on despotic people.

“Broad is My Work; to everyone a place ordained. By the broadness of your vision will you allot your own part. The manifestation of unprecedented possibilities is behind the door. Give Us reason to rejoice!”[40]

Fuyama, sense how to work. Urusvati is right—listen attentively to the Lamas. You feel correctness. It is better to write it down—unknown, unheard of, is interesting to them.

13 January 1924

It is possible, but it is better to trouble the throat less; it is time to get better. I want to see you without worries. Do not bother talking with Lumou—there are too many great things around. The waste of the city must evaporate. For a while live simply, just accumulating the Prana. It is necessary to throw off the remorse of youth. We Ourselves sometimes get a rest when We are not even allowed to think; only the air, the fragrance of flowers, the rays of color, and the effects of the luminaries work.

“It is good to be in the sunshine, but the starlit sky also brings harmony to the nerves. The moon, on the contrary, is not for us. The moon’s pure light affects the prana. The magnetism of the moon is great, but for repose it is not good. Often the moon evokes fatigue, like people who devour one’s vital energy. The manifestation of miraculous power increases during moonlight.

“A pure prana must respond to the attraction, otherwise there is no miracle but a destruction of the vital treasure trove. While resting (after cleansing the body with spasms),it is good to laugh, for the thyroid gland is purified by laughter. To purify the glands is a primary duty.”[41]

Do not be afraid of their swelling; while contracting, the dust is ejected.

Occupation of Patiala,[42] the last campaign to Rajputana. Poruma lived in Fatehpur Sikri for twelve years; five years with the husband.

How old was I when I married Akbar?—Fourteen years old.

14 January 1924

Automatic writing of N.R.:

My children! Not an adventure, but a service to the feat, and therefore I say: “Rejoice!” The paths are not too hard, for everything is delivered and brought. Here, I also sent you a man to protect you from their encroaching on your money. I want you to reach without changing the way or delaying the deadlines. And, resting, you are already moving; ascending the peaks, you are also moving, for your path does not stop. Equally as your labor. Truly, not an adventure, but the bearing of Light. Collect all crumbs and pour oil into all lamps, not so long anymore. And behind the morning ray, behind each one, a new step is revealed. Someone cries—here is another day gone; but you rejoice—here we are with another day closer. Thus, proceed.

Sit together in the darkness. Write more. I only ask to fulfill all that is said to you. We do not know when changes can be expected, but all that has been said must be preserved. I think in two weeks, you can start asking the Lama the questions.

15 January 1924

Now I ask only three conditions: serenity, vigilance, and confidence that everything occurswiththe best solution—thus, the body will rest. I prefer to talk every day, except for days of direct impossibility. I consider the journey important. I plan carefully. I have given the Guru for the journey. I advise you to pay less attention to the current affairs of America. I will manifest My Hand on time. I will convey the Decree of new actions on time. I will manifest new people, new . . .;[43] I will manifest the Shield to Taruhan—be without worries. I want to warm the birds without wind; flying over the ocean is tiresome. It is necessary to gather strength for new knowledge. It can be solved in different ways, and the term can easily be extended. I do not see why Urusvati should be for a long time in . . .[44] It is easy to bring the Stone and return to Us again, after My Appearance—thus the Covenant will be fulfilled. The daughter of the World will bring the treasure and perform the first Service. Urusvati, remember the covenant of Iskander Khanum to bring the Stone to a strong place. We will put the Stone in the foundation of the Temple—the seven will know the vault. After that—innumerable hours of comprehension. Our phone will carry your voice to . . .,[45] and the mirror destroys the space. The Brotherhood will take care of the form. I know what is best. Live without worries. Please give the body a rest.

16 January 1924

When you can sense and receive the rays, strain your spirit towards the North. I feel I go South; shine, Ray, reveal a way to My dear ones. With a magnet I attract dear travelers. I will hide the lock of the treasure. I think to reveal the Hand on a gloomy path. A caravan appears—forty camels, and chagai bushes.In the race, the bows flash past the horses, covering sharp caps; the bows and yellow scabbards drown in the feather grass. A clear voice calls with a song to a long journey. I will leave, I will perish on a stone; streams will wash a trace. My New Name will sound over the stone. I feel the power resounding in the predicted Temple. Four years later, you will go to threaten the darkness with joyful light. A hand already holds a sword; the tongue knows the word. The blow does not threaten you.

I have heard a word “Horizon.”

17 January 1924

I have so much to tell you before you disappear. I deem new things must be put together in America in time. To approve a mountain development plan. To develop a principle of radioactivity in agriculture. To approve a wonderful and simple scheme of the first house on the mountain. To teach people understanding of the power of air. With unified power of understanding, you must accept the Teachings of Tibet. You must learn the rain of signs of each day. The prayers of the first unified service must be revealed. To know what Name will help you to cross the desert. The world will bury your old names. I saytake care of your health, so that you can encompass the horizon. The Ray of My Diamond glows above youlike a lightning strike. Therefore, you need to get used to a taste of the new wave. Many vessels were broken along the way, but the covenant of Christ must be fulfilled. TheChalice of the world must be brought.

Had A.B.[46]been in the White Brotherhood?—No.

Did she see M.M.?—Yes, in the astral body.

Had Blavatsky been in the Brotherhood?—In the village below, but not in the Tower.

18 January 1924

Walk likes lions across the mountains. And My Ray will lead the way. Desire to see the Ray on the rocky stones. My Ray woke the Lama invisibly. My Ray attracts the horse. The Ray paves your way. A pure stream of life refracts the Ray in the waves of your pilgrimage. The manifestation of prophecy may indicate My Power. Ask the Lama if he knows what greatness is destined for the warriors of spirit.

An anna[47]is equal to the sixteenth part of the rupee; count it as My Number. I feel you can easily multiply your number to Mine. Grasp every day for the joy of finding.

Lama Mingyur said today that he is here to help us. His Teacher, the Mongolian, was an astrologer. The Lama noticed the strangeness of his horse, which rides with the greatest eagerness to us, and the effort is needed to make him turn towards the house.

19 January 1924

“Shambhala is the indispensable site where the spiritual world unites with the material one. As in a magnet there exists the point of utmost attraction, so the gates of the spiritual world open into the Mountain Dwelling. The manifested height of Gaurisankar[48] helps the magnetic current. Jacob’s Ladder is the symbol of Our Abode.”[49]

It can be understood when Christ descends the Ladder, revealing a vessel of Light. In Spirits, the flame is manifested according to their essence. The Rays of Christ, as a touchstone, embody the Guarantee of the future work. Morya’s joy indicates who is facing the court of Mercy. Like a candle burns the sign of a High Initiation with Our disciples. The first sign is lit in the spirit; later, when matter voluntarily follows the spirit, the sign is assigned to the body. At that hour, We have a celebration. Then the chain of Heaven extends to Our Temple. And here, on earth, the music of the spheres is heard. The vault is decorated and lit with a new fire, and the hosts of Spirits communicate with the earthly Guards. Snow Giants guard the Great Mystery. The appearance of new brethren on the road is facilitated by the messengers. Urusvati had already seen something.

Question: What does the red ladder of the vision mean?—The ladder of abandonment of an earthly plane. Destruction of earthly desires.

Who was the majestic and impetuous Spirit in the sphere of the Red ladder?—The spirit of matter gives way to the Spirit.

Why are we, standing at the very foot of the Ladder of Light, chosen for such a responsible role, while others stood much higher?—The light must be seen from afar; your light seemed brighterto them.

From 18–19, I have heard: “A huge tide is coming, but My school will stand.”

20 January 1924

From 19–20: “But I have brought; I have given the Greatest signs!”

The highest signs can be revealed—raise what has already been sent. The main thing is the communication of terms and Hierarchy.

Fortunately, not all (to my remark that many know).

Now, We ask only to absorb calmly the drops of great signs;now, We ask to accept the beginning of the Teaching from the words of the Mongolian Teacher. What is given to you will come to you. I will settle Myself; I will bring Myself, as I have already brought a lot. The book on Buddhism is easy to read. A mountain of books is coming. Let us better work with the messages, which fill the book of the Teaching like grains. A week later, I advise you to approach the Lama; he also collected several grains. You need to know the Lama’s circle of development in building the future priesthood. Teaching the people should be vitally important.

“Superstition can be driven out only by respecting the forces innate in man.”[50]

Very vigilantly observe the expression of the eyes in the monasteries. A quiet trip may not repeat again. Activities can becomeso intense that there will be no time to look into the eyes. It is necessary to rememberto cast the line ahead; time is short; watch the rays in the eyes of the oncoming Lamas. You will not regret new experiences.

“One must know how people are awaiting My Coming. People’s desire forges a new rung for the ladder.”[51]

Protect your health, you need it for knowledge. Blavatsky’s health was excellent. But haste had damaged it and disrupted completion of the task. Do you really think that The Secret Doctrine should have come out in this form? The result was a set of notes, sometimes unrelated. A new book must be written—clarifying the meaning of the World Religion. To summarize does not mean to complicate. The whole writing is complicated, but the last page was supposed to be the easiest. And this page did not take place. We will bring it to the end.

21 January 1924

“The density of matter obstructs each experiment of the spirit. This concerns men as well as the whole of nature. For access to it matter must be melted. In the process of smelting there is produced a specific gas which assimilates with the substance of the spirit. In man, a gas emanates from the nerve centers at each ecstasy of happiness or unhappiness. Thus a laboratory of the spirit is obtained. Therefore, a misfortune is called the visitation of God, but each somnolent existence is death of spirit. In nature, ecstasies manifest as thunderstorms, earthquakes, eruptions of volcanoes and floods. A similar laboratory of spirit begins to work. Hence, all sparks of ecstasy are blessed. Molten matter yields to improvement and provides new formulae. Instead of prolonged researches it suffices to reflect the elements in Our mirrors, and then to accumulate new formulae. Then remains the second part of the work: patiently, and in due time, to give them to people. Upon the fires of ecstasy travels Our Ray, seeking admittance into the heart. Where is the happiness or misfortune that has opened the entry? But, contacting molten matter, one senses the pulse of Earth, and the heart must withstand the gravitation. Those who will take part in this work must guard their hearts. Therefore, I say, guard the heart—all else is easy to repair. It represents matter, whereas the nerves are subservient to the spirit. At the knock of the spirit the door of the solar plexus is opened. But each stroke of matter beats upon the heart. Whosoever wishes to come in touch with the formula of matter must guard the heart. Our medicine teaches how to strengthen the heart through breathing; but about this another time.”[52]

You will be happy with Us.

From 20–21: “Be strong, My dear!”

22 January 1924

“The nerve emanation is imponderable; it is odorless and invisible, because it is of the spirit. The product of the heart is blood, with all its earthly dimensions. Therefore, when it is said that one must feel with the heart, this means it should be adapted to the earthly plane.

“The sole bridge between the spirit’s understanding and the embracement of the earthly plane is the white blood corpuscle. But you know what conflict attends their existence. Do not the white corpuscles, subject to the forces of Earth and bearing the knowledge of spirit, seem to you like White Brothers? This is why harmony is so difficult on Earth.

(So anemic people are more spiritual? Often—yes.)

But to work there where the spirit has descended into matter, the conditions of both planes the mastery of the earthly formulae, one must possess a strong channel of the heart, because the reflex of the earthly signs carries dangerous sparks. But for Earth, all must be accomplished upon the earthly plane. Therein is the chief reason for the existence of the Brotherhood here.Therefore, upon Earth one must reach Us, discover Us, as silver ore—the best beneath the earthly crust.”[53]

Not on the wings, but on his feet reached Buddha. On a white camel, Christ rode with Me through the Pamir. Mountains, rivers, and ridges are full of silver. Maintain your health to the path of silver.

Morya—before Schagiy. Morya—the Leader of the first travelers. The Leader of the first people who moved.

I knew Morya—Yes, being His sister.

Send these two conversations to Lichtmann.

In the morning of 22, I recalled the Muromtsevs[54] and heard: “Having a cloud on their brows.”

23 January 1924

Please provide the control of the fierce spirits to Us. Action must be taken. The desire is to protect the secret in a timely manner. I will bring to the place in time—let them go their own way. It is impossible to endow you with slander. None should interfere with this time of rest. A very important year is passing now. Events have been set up that indirectly build these dates. Let the months pass in quiet labor. I know all the dangers—so just take care of your health; I will put the rest in order. Save the pure room, and speak with Me there. It is better to replace lunch with lunch downstairs.

Is it true that Saturn is there in my horoscope?—Yes.

So I have a difficult karma?—On the contrary, karma of the spirit is good if Saturn is to help; cannot go against you. Uranus creates connection with the constellations. It is the character of good eras when even the heavy forces must help.

24 January 1924

I shall move the mountain; I shall offer a prayer; I shall exalt a cover of snow to One God. I will raise those sent on the border of the road to Altai. I will uplift thewonderful Russian soul of Urusvati.I will show My Hand after the convergence of the Luminaries. I see a pledge in the appearance of wonderful stars. I sense the Ray of Kesil[55] can ignite a Diamond of Morya. I see the shields burning with the ray of forces of the Destiny (Fate) risen (rebelled) in heaven. I am tormented by thirst to see the rapture of the New World. I bless the desire to approach religiously Our conversations. I am glad to see the consciousness of necessity to work with human hands. I am sending power to work for learning. A miracle can touch soon.

Today is the twenty-fourth, Our new number—of the appearance of events. The number of My Ray.

25 January 1924

“At present great understanding of the revelation of the highest Teaching takes place.

“It is good to understand that the possession of objects should be devoid of a feeling of property ownership. It is good to possess things in order to take care of them, and even to surround them with a benevolent aura, with the thought of passing them on to others. The manifestation of a creative hand dwells in a house whose occupants are without attachment to property, and being improved it will carry joy further. The sign of the bestowing hand will be preserved continuously, and therein lies the justification of objects. Through this understanding is solved the most difficult problem. I say this for the world, because the ruination of the world arises chiefly from attachment to non-existent property. To inculcate this in the (Russian) new[56] people means to cure them of the fear of old age. Possession devoid of the sense of ownership will open the path to all without conventional inheritance. Who can improve, shall possess. This concerns lands, forests and waters. All mechanical achievements and various types of inventions are subject to the same principle. It is easy to imagine how folk creation will begin to work, especially in the knowledge that only the spirit offers the best solution. To the hearth of spirit shall be directed questions as to how best; and the sword of the spirit shall strike any evil guile. Verily, it is profitable to do better. The law is simple, as is everything of spirit.”[57]

Do not let the crafty people here. Protect this room from food. Here We will write down many of the laws and prayers of the Temple. Your body feels better already. Let us move on like the lions.

26 January 1924

In . . .[58] I see a University where the exact Sciences will finally be combined with the understanding of the spirit. Urusvati’s desire is legitimate; that is why until the . . .[59] she should participate in the work of Our Laboratory.

I imply Buddha as the Teacher. Christ entrusted the Ray towards Asia to Buddha. Christ is above actual Manifestations—you already know the sequence.

“Events have so piled up that the organisms of sensitive people are in tremor. One must ascribe the tremor of nerves (of Urusvati) to Cosmic disturbances.”[60]

It seems—here, I cannot keep up; but according to the Testament of Christ and the Ray of Buddha, is it possible to be late? It seems—dreams cannot come true, but it is only the consciousness of predestined happiness. But the measure of the Universe is great, and Urusvati will be allowed to take large luggage to Morya’s University. A breath of the current between Our House and the Temple will lead the experience of young scientists to a world understanding.

After a new phenomenon, and after the waters of A . . . [61],the people will receive a new sheath-fortress confirmed by science. Therefore, the current of magnetism is easily transmitted to water. We request: Be strong, Dear, the dates are already approaching. I will start the most important thing soon—tomove R . . .[62] to the field of knowledge and adoption of new forces.

The health phenomenon will stop nerve fatigue. After a quiet year, there will be a number of meetings. I sense the outer tide is great.

1 December 1923–26 January 1924[1]

1 December 1923

M.[2]

I smile; I cannot be displeased with you two, for your devotion is great. But the riders and kings can be unbearable. Urusvati’s[3] precautions are good. It is better to throw the Stone into the sea than give It to the enemy. Urusvati understands the meaning of the world construction. The Teacher has entrusted the phenomenon of the revealed miracle only to your hands. Urusvati, now enjoy, and take care of your health. Urusvati, it is better to write to L . . .[4]—the front is not damaged.

No, send your greetings to the Chairwoman.

Not to participate in the congress . . .[5]

Urusvati senses it.

2 December 1923

Shuya and Kolomna will have the best motors.Let your thoughts about them endow Russia.For wild fishermen, the best motorboats will go by the power of your faith.

“Your power will grow, but if you smother the flame you will burn your hands. Let the flame of faith shine freely. The Teacher watches each thought, ready to select the best seeds of the spirit.”[6]

I sense U . . .[7] needs to be helped, if a dragon of ferocity is fettered. First experience before Agra. Better, better, better. Better a Buddhist.(Concerningaservant.)

3 December 1923

In the morning, I heard: Shamo and Gobi will unfold. Vegetables.

Show understanding to the entire idea of the East. Not nations, but the whole tree spread out with all its countless leaves. The phenomenon of the Sun scorched part of the foliage, but from the North, the leaves still reveal closed, wonderful tones. Urusvati is directed to the new places where there are the roots of the tree. But you can go along My shattered path. A miracle must be born from the sea of storms. The spirit factory is not easy.

You can find the Box in My cities. In the meantime, carry It in a handkerchief, it is better to keep It near your faithful hand.

I think it is enough to ride; there are many fragments in the air here. Urusvati, the Teacher is waiting, sending a fair wind to your path, directing you to the North. And do not forget the Lamas. I shall manifest an opportunity. Partially Hindustani and Mongolian, but the direction We will serve in Russian. Possible, as a noble exercise. (Sanskrit).

Praise Li . . .[8] for feelings of love towards the Mountain.

4 December 1923

Truly, you have worked hard, and it is time to give you rest. A pure task will restore your health, and I will take care of it. My Decree is to continue the journey witha peaceful mind, even a fountain of rupees should not bother you. Show the pace of tourists without any excitement.

Proximity of the Stone increases the pressure. For even the sleeping Stone displays the magic signs. Just as a medium is sometimes suppressed or delighted by the table for no apparent reason, similarly the Stone emits the rays to which the body must be accustomed. Still, you need to keep the Stone with you. I will take care of your health. Consider the road to the mountains as the way to the Temple. But preserve your eyes from dust. Time to move.

We passed Jaipur–Amber.[9]

10 December 1923,Agra[10]

The Teacher greets you in His manifested Land. Guess, where My Spirit rejoiced.

Повиговлучу[11] stroke My Ray. Before the heaven, a Russian stranger can capture the box.

I sense a miracle will not pass you by.

Urusvati, the Teacher talks about the possibility of an attempt, but I feel We are on guard. An attempt can be expected on the Stone. Urusvati thinks correctly. Reveal liveliness; no need to grieve. Urusvati, the Teacher will later explain why the casket has no key. Urusvati, let the Teacher love you. The husband briskly teaches the wife to reach the predestined miracle near Tibet.

You have understood when My Spirit rejoiced—while raising the Temple for My wife in Agra.[12] Yes. I speak vaguely, but you will understand. Sa . . .[13] will not step over My Power.

Urusvati, do not be scared in vain, only precaution is needed. Tomorrow you will see the place where the Stone has been abducted.[14] I cannot say—until tomorrow.

11 December 1923, Agra—Fatehpur Sikri[15]

A new revealed gift will increase your heat. Today, you have recognized My Temple of One Religion; My wife was the first Priestess there. A daughter of Indiaone wife. The Mohammedan, she could not accept the idea of a single religion. The shapes on the walls showed images of human delight through the shield of Beauty. The teaching was taking place based on the books of all people who knew the rapture of the spirit. The paths of the spiritthrough sound and color. They taught how to fill life with constant joy; they also read descriptions of the saints about visions of the spirit.

Let us prepare the day when you pronounce the Star of My dreamsthe Teaching of Akbar’s shattered dreams. My helpersI will help you.

13 December 1923

Wait to call a doctor—his patients will leave. Have patience until tomorrow; the pain will pass successfully. Have mercy. (My illness—a cold.)

15 December 1923, Delhi

It is better to call a doctor, and advise him to give the best native water purification. Tomorrow Iwill explain the reason for your sadness in Agra. Send for a doctor. Good messengers come in time—your way is facilitated. Just do not drive them away—everything is channeled.

Until tomorrow.

In the morning, the Voice of the Teacher: “You continue your work.”

16 December 1923

My care of you senses the message about the food condition. Under the Beacon, you strongly need to lighten the way with the porridge. You are tourists in appearance, but My workers in the spirit. The Teacher eats porridge; take care of your health.

Now about Agra. You have felt My sorrow, for you are in My Ray. And Agra for Me is the sorrow of destruction.

“(But)the courageous one demandeth a bow, himself to mark down the bird!”[16]—said Miriam. And verily, she brought the Stone.Thus, is the circle completed.We were sending the Stone to the kings and warriors, but spears are not protection. We will give the treasure to the spirit wanderers—it is more secure in their sum. A miracle will light their way. Urusvati, carry Our Trust. The matters drawn by the constellation are taking place. The Stone will transform the Temple of Dreams into action. I send regards.

N.K.[17]—Jupiter.

Yuriunder the threshold of the Dragon.

I—Myself am Aquarius.

Svetik—Virgo.

I have heard: “Urusvati, only thy name can arouse in Me. . .”[18]

17 December 1923

“M and the understanding of Buddha’s Teaching lead one to the vital understanding of law, conceived upon the Mount of Light. (It is learnt about Urusvati’s veneration of Buddha’s law.) His Law will be of much help on the way to knowledge. His Teaching is My joy. (You can read the priestly word from Me.) My Hand leads to knowledge.”[19]

“Smile when spiritual beggars are called scholars. Smile when someone speaks irreverently about the spirit's understanding, when false books are read, when pure thoughts frighten the small of soul.”[20]

The crafty questioners will leave, but the benefits will remain for you. Go peacefully. You were called Iskander Khanum,[21] for you protected My grave; at the gate of My House, My daughter.

18 December 1923

I demand to lighten the food. The power of the spirit does not grow from heaviness. I instruct you to treat your health with porridge. Learn not to imitate the phenomena of overeating. Urusvati, put regulation on food in Darjeeling. My Order must be fulfilled. I am teaching you how to wait for Me. Urusvati, do what you think. My Manifestation can be easily alleviated.

We passed Benares–Calcutta–Darjeeling.

25 December 1923 Darjeeling[22]

A meeting with an extraordinary Lama who sat in a palanquin and had a crown on his head. He greeted us with a smile at the water spring on the way from Ghum to Darjeeling.

Now, We are close, and the freshness of air will expel the dust from the nerves. I sense the house can be found. Calm your spirit. We shall commence an understanding soon. Thus, We call the condition of the spirit, when conversations and voices give rise to an understanding of thingslike a spark of lightning. Your spirit can already receive these sendings.

Now a diet: wine is banished and smoking as well. All porridges enter the new house. I approve jam, vegetables, and milk. You can also have bread and eggs; beer is harmful. Gather your thoughts during the rest. Fuyama,[23] remember the paintings. Urusvati, remember, a week later, about a light pranayama. You need to rest for one week. For now, guess about the house; think about My House between the heights of Kanchenjunga.

Is it really only in three years that we will see M.M.?—Maybe earlier.

26 December 1923

I will notify the world about the Stone, and following the Star, they will come to you. Let Me choose the best time. I will point out the best place. Now take your breath, turning to My House. Darjeeling is a small place, but the signs can be great. Urusvati felt it was inappropriate to call Me in Calcutta; she will also feel the renewal of forces here.

I can already see the Temple; the Russian hands are laying a stone.

“Learn to consider a Decree immutable.

“You will marvel when the waves of people will raise the pledge of ancient times.”[24]

Sense how to show the new article to the Lama. I believe you may ask about the Stone. A painter is allowed to know the legend. Display an understanding of the legend. Thingsaregoing successfully.

27 December 1923

In circumference, My root is no bigger than someone’s house. The Ray had saved the Dalai Lama from Karma. Find the place of My Ashram, venerated by the Lamas. Appreciate the specified place. Urusvati, find a room where My Messages were repeated. Yes (already I know).

My desire is to emphasize the continuity of the placeR . . . is there, where T . . .[25] is saved. Better to know it from Me. It is better to show the Lamas your knowledge. My desire is to break with the world, turning to the pure mountains. The new thread got into the needle. The impact of the yarn has become richer. It is necessary to describe the movement of My Needle. The carpet of Morya is blooming. Urusvati, things are successful.

28 December 1923

I believe a wonderful time can be expected in a house on a hillside. My Decree: walk like lions. Everywhere is a cobweb of the ring with a lily.

A decree for you: beware of the hands of the Jesuits. The child was given a ring; an evil will is manifested on it. In general, wear old clothes carefully.

“Ailments of the spirit are as contagious as those of the body. This is a simple scientific consideration. Strike upon a table and the objects will vibrate. So much more does a spiritual blow shake the nerves.

“You may touch old things and consciously expel the harm of accumulations.”[26]

Your spirit knows, but in others the spirit is silent.

Teach Poruma[27] to avoid touchingthe old things brought into her room; I prefer to replace them with the new ones and the flowers. It is better for her to have new things closer. Let her hang “Himself has met.”

Yes. Urusvati knows how to create an atmosphere of a future house, manifested for a new life. Let the Ray of Light play on the walls of the future home. The feat is lighter amidst the Light.

29 December 1923

My Shield is above you. Every day I will send the signsjust collect and remember them. Keep your ears vigilant towards the Lamas. Urusvati, give preference to Tibetan servants. Urusvati, it is necessary to preserve the room for yourself. The Teacher knows the pure thoughts manifested here.

Learn: you can stretch out your hands toward the Kanchenjunga summits. The current is good through the fingertips; that is whyyou begin your breathing while stretching out the hands. Inhaling the air, stretch out the hands, then lower the right one, close the nostril with the left hand—thus seven times. Then, stretch out your hands while exhaling with your mouth, as if in the direction of the hands. Then, do the same thing with arms raised and conclude with hands at the mouth. The symbol is following: the first one is—Call of the Teacher; the second—offering to God; the third one—acceptance of Strength.

Hold your breath for seven seconds. Between breaths, skip three seconds.

Urusvati is rightdo not oppress the Tibetans with payment. Think of the honor of a journey through Tibet. Show reverence for Buddha Shrines. Tell the Lamas how happy you are to see the Dalai Lama’s house. You do not need to leave for Tiger Hill. You may be surprised, but the Tiger emblem is not for you. Monasteries are needed. I will advise later.

What is the meaning of my visions of figures in strange robes?

The whirlwind of approaching Tibet. A symbol of a prayer.

30 December 1923

Teach Lumou[28] to read the books. Udraya[29] can give him the books of travels across Asia. He will find them. Reading may occupy his thoughts, in order to understand the impact on the culture of Central Asia after the exodus of the best people. The Persian kings destroyed the occult, pure thinking of the growing life of the Russian East. Only Khotan and Pamir mountain tribes deflected the blow. A stern blow will be repaid by the Teaching that will unite the people of Central Asia. Believing in the miracle of the predestined life, the Pledge will find confirmation among the facts collected from all other people’s aspirations of all times. Our Task is to compare the legends with material monuments. For this purpose, the Scriptures will be scattered; and then, with a single impulseWe will connect the parts already accepted by the brain, and the Stone will grow together under one roof. The Teaching will see the Temple, will lay a monument valuable to Us—the one, conceived in the fourteenth year on Easter when a clash of races became inevitable, anda hand was raised to exclude the criminal spirits here,who have shown unprecedented humiliation of man. We sense it is necessary to break the chains; it is necessary to call the few living ones; it is necessary to lead the fastest way. Amen.

31 December 1923

What was said will be realized. I promise not to miss a minute to bring the hour closer. I ask you to help in this with three conditions. The first is to protect your health; the second—reduce judgment; the third—do not get irritated. Let me explain the condemnation. You condemned India, but you saw only a corpse and the babies.You have passed at the most important moment —verily, an old India has died, and the baby cannot speak. A dead man is in the house; and milk given to the baby is especially needed. Of course, one cannot help smiling at the feet of infants, but the corpse will burn quietly. I direct My Will to restrain the ball of events. Of course, India is not in your ray, but a drop of milk must be given. An idol can move India to a hasty step, but nothing old will come in handy.Religious hatred will droop with the understanding of life salvation. Tagore does not harbor evil—in London he came first.

But you walk like lions. Sounding of Tibet is closer to you. I sense you can prepare for solitude. It is necessary to fill the vessels and add lime to the Bone matter; the rest will come, shining with the stars.

Remind the cook to banish the red pepper. Add the gray pepper yourself—the cook will add the red one.

In every possible way, I prepare the pavement to the Tower of Chun. You will understand—I lead you lovingly to the heights. The capital of Urusvati may be in the Himalayas. I have been hinting for a long time: why does Urusvati from Altai not return to Us for eternal life? But Fuyama, as a messenger, will remain in Altai. To ring the bells in Zvenigorod and move to the Heights of Knowledge. We shall talk in detail in the house.

In the morning I heard: “With a firm mind, there is no danger.”

1 January 1924

Christ said to Buddha: “It is not proper for Us to build the Temples or to ring the bells Ourselves. Brother Buddha, gather those people who can kindle the Third Eye; help them to cross the desert; endow them with a wealth of construction; light a pure star before them; reward them with a measure of confidence. May the Temple be raised with human hands so that Our Cathedral may have a place to enter. We will ponder where to put the builders; what measure of honor to pay to those who will ring the bells throughout the world for Us. Be that in Zvenigorod.” The commandment of Christ is written on January 1, 1924 in front of the great Mountain. Send the recording to the summoned masons.

Urusvati was purely happy about the house; observe the threads of the great yarn.

We affirm you will cross the Mountains with your consciousness. Bring forth the Decree to Taruhan:[30] “I can already see what route he is assigned, and what goods he will take to Altai.”

2 January 1924

I will manifest you the Teaching, but live this year without worries.“In love forge the affirmation of the Heights about the ability to control oneself.”[31] Udraya defames Me no less than Lumou. Urusvati, arrange a room as you understand it. The Teacher rejoices in the pure atmosphere of the future home. I desire to see more Tibetans. The blow, blow, blow will pass by My daughter. I feel a blow to the shield in America. I will point out the blow; I will turn the blow to the Teaching for benefit—so write today. “My Teaching cannot be belittled by the foolishness of hostile slanderers. I see they will badly bruise their brows; but give them time.

“When we approach the Commandment of Christ and Buddha, what is the dust of the threshold to Us? An oyster shell without its contents.”[32]

3 January 1924

I teach you to observe the details of the path. Угедача ваш дролу на луи.[33]

Remember the Decree; the revealed letters will be useful in Ladakh. I teach many useful things; a foreign language sounds strange. Learning from life, from books, and from signs will lead you to understand the complexity of the situation. The true wisdom of the East knows calmly, sensing the defeat of the enemy. Urusvati learns from the sent book how to protect yourselves from suspicion on the short route to Tibet. Sometimes the long way is more correct.

Now you drive openly through the monasteries. You must accustom them to your harmlessness. Interest in local customs, magic, and astrology will simplify your situation. The orders from America, and learning the language, will completely reconcile them with your movements.

I deem it is time to enter the house.

4 January 1924

A pure body burns better with My Fire. Wait until tomorrow.

5 January 1924, Hillside

Urusvati, arrange a pure room. Urusvati, observe the traces of Tibet. Let many threads stretch over this year. Consider this year significant on your journey. At the time of leaving, it will be necessary to have new information. Count every day for enriching yourselves. The fumes of the city must pass. I can gild the path of Lumou, but I ask him to abandon rudeness and lies. Urusvati, praise the Lichtmanns—they are worthy. I foresee their way to Siberia. Let them hurry to complete their American citizenship. A silver work with Taruhan is prepared. Your pavement needs to be paved. Silver horseshoes—along the silver pavement. Morya’s pharmacy will also be useful. Display intuition for different information. I sense there will be a place for you to reach. The Lichtmanns and Taruhan are the best comers. Logvan[34]—in America. The yarn is great. Urusvati should receive the Image of Buddha. It is very important for the future.

From January 6–8, my illness.

9 January 1924

I send you everything needed—just take it. I sense life will be good. The postal service is not safe; therefore, caution is required in letters. It is wrong to mention the Teacher in letters. Point out to Oyana’s[35] address that the subject of an art order can reconcile readers. Narrow-minded people are very much tormented over others’ affairs. They are already reading, surprised at the deceit of the cipher. Time will heal. Urusvati, do not forget astrology. I will point out when you may learn with the Lama. The institutions of the center in Asia must be kept secret. People are very sensitive here; no need to irritate them. We will not intensify the current until the suspicions subside. Even simple souls are very sensitive here. I Myself safeguard you.

10 January 1924

It is necessary to write to Oyana: verily, wonderful things are approaching; we must take care of them.

Urusvati should better display her care towards the servants. Especially when the Buddhists will replace the Hindus. The Decree to Taruhan—to leave.

“Display speed. Spilled seeds are difficult to gather.”[36]

Convince Modra[37] to edit Taruhan’s articles. I am in a hurry to add useful power. A deal is prepared for Taruhan—it is necessary to hurry. The wing to Siberia is prepared for Logvan. I will supplement the plan of acquiring the first mountain in [Altai].[38] It will be good when the silver horseshoes start rattling on the ledges of the Mountain. A wonderful plan is being affirmed. Only with spiritual understanding can an earthly Templebe erected. Every step must be prepared beforehand. It is necessary to timely implement predictions. It is necessary to direct every force for the Holiday—to shelter workers from the rain. Preserve your strength. Do not run up the mountains. Remember the Path, the great Path.

11 January 1924

I reveal the signs of the desert every day; discern the work among the monasteries. Urusvati, take a palanquin. After the womb phenomena, concentration is better. Remember one thing—I do not miss a minute to help you. We move faster than the wind. A runny nose and glands will renew the organism. Do not speak; drink hot milk. Wait through. The earliest date contains no harm.

12 January 1924

“Learn to comprehend the manifestation of the Teaching as a miracle, in order to manifest the Shield on all paths. I feel each moment that is useful to you.

“Our Front Line stands as a wall, and a smile flashes as lightning over all faces at each of your successful moves. As a gardener sees that the garden be covered with buds, uprooting the weeds, so We watch the movements of the chosen hands. Joyous is each resourcefulness, because the shield is forged on both sides.”[39]

It is possible to admit new miracles. Convey to Lichtmann: I will be demonstrating My Sign on despotic people.

“Broad is My Work; to everyone a place ordained. By the broadness of your vision will you allot your own part. The manifestation of unprecedented possibilities is behind the door. Give Us reason to rejoice!”[40]

Fuyama, sense how to work. Urusvati is right—listen attentively to the Lamas. You feel correctness. It is better to write it down—unknown, unheard of, is interesting to them.

13 January 1924

It is possible, but it is better to trouble the throat less; it is time to get better. I want to see you without worries. Do not bother talking with Lumou—there are too many great things around. The waste of the city must evaporate. For a while live simply, just accumulating the Prana. It is necessary to throw off the remorse of youth. We Ourselves sometimes get a rest when We are not even allowed to think; only the air, the fragrance of flowers, the rays of color, and the effects of the luminaries work.

“It is good to be in the sunshine, but the starlit sky also brings harmony to the nerves. The moon, on the contrary, is not for us. The moon’s pure light affects the prana. The magnetism of the moon is great, but for repose it is not good. Often the moon evokes fatigue, like people who devour one’s vital energy. The manifestation of miraculous power increases during moonlight.

“A pure prana must respond to the attraction, otherwise there is no miracle but a destruction of the vital treasure trove. While resting (after cleansing the body with spasms),it is good to laugh, for the thyroid gland is purified by laughter. To purify the glands is a primary duty.”[41]

Do not be afraid of their swelling; while contracting, the dust is ejected.

Occupation of Patiala,[42] the last campaign to Rajputana. Poruma lived in Fatehpur Sikri for twelve years; five years with the husband.

How old was I when I married Akbar?—Fourteen years old.

14 January 1924

Automatic writing of N.R.:

My children! Not an adventure, but a service to the feat, and therefore I say: “Rejoice!” The paths are not too hard, for everything is delivered and brought. Here, I also sent you a man to protect you from their encroaching on your money. I want you to reach without changing the way or delaying the deadlines. And, resting, you are already moving; ascending the peaks, you are also moving, for your path does not stop. Equally as your labor. Truly, not an adventure, but the bearing of Light. Collect all crumbs and pour oil into all lamps, not so long anymore. And behind the morning ray, behind each one, a new step is revealed. Someone cries—here is another day gone; but you rejoice—here we are with another day closer. Thus, proceed.

Sit together in the darkness. Write more. I only ask to fulfill all that is said to you. We do not know when changes can be expected, but all that has been said must be preserved. I think in two weeks, you can start asking the Lama the questions.

15 January 1924

Now I ask only three conditions: serenity, vigilance, and confidence that everything occurswiththe best solution—thus, the body will rest. I prefer to talk every day, except for days of direct impossibility. I consider the journey important. I plan carefully. I have given the Guru for the journey. I advise you to pay less attention to the current affairs of America. I will manifest My Hand on time. I will convey the Decree of new actions on time. I will manifest new people, new . . .;[43] I will manifest the Shield to Taruhan—be without worries. I want to warm the birds without wind; flying over the ocean is tiresome. It is necessary to gather strength for new knowledge. It can be solved in different ways, and the term can easily be extended. I do not see why Urusvati should be for a long time in . . .[44] It is easy to bring the Stone and return to Us again, after My Appearance—thus the Covenant will be fulfilled. The daughter of the World will bring the treasure and perform the first Service. Urusvati, remember the covenant of Iskander Khanum to bring the Stone to a strong place. We will put the Stone in the foundation of the Temple—the seven will know the vault. After that—innumerable hours of comprehension. Our phone will carry your voice to . . .,[45] and the mirror destroys the space. The Brotherhood will take care of the form. I know what is best. Live without worries. Please give the body a rest.

16 January 1924

When you can sense and receive the rays, strain your spirit towards the North. I feel I go South; shine, Ray, reveal a way to My dear ones. With a magnet I attract dear travelers. I will hide the lock of the treasure. I think to reveal the Hand on a gloomy path. A caravan appears—forty camels, and chagai bushes.In the race, the bows flash past the horses, covering sharp caps; the bows and yellow scabbards drown in the feather grass. A clear voice calls with a song to a long journey. I will leave, I will perish on a stone; streams will wash a trace. My New Name will sound over the stone. I feel the power resounding in the predicted Temple. Four years later, you will go to threaten the darkness with joyful light. A hand already holds a sword; the tongue knows the word. The blow does not threaten you.

I have heard a word “Horizon.”

17 January 1924

I have so much to tell you before you disappear. I deem new things must be put together in America in time. To approve a mountain development plan. To develop a principle of radioactivity in agriculture. To approve a wonderful and simple scheme of the first house on the mountain. To teach people understanding of the power of air. With unified power of understanding, you must accept the Teachings of Tibet. You must learn the rain of signs of each day. The prayers of the first unified service must be revealed. To know what Name will help you to cross the desert. The world will bury your old names. I saytake care of your health, so that you can encompass the horizon. The Ray of My Diamond glows above youlike a lightning strike. Therefore, you need to get used to a taste of the new wave. Many vessels were broken along the way, but the covenant of Christ must be fulfilled. TheChalice of the world must be brought.

Had A.B.[46]been in the White Brotherhood?—No.

Did she see M.M.?—Yes, in the astral body.

Had Blavatsky been in the Brotherhood?—In the village below, but not in the Tower.

18 January 1924

Walk likes lions across the mountains. And My Ray will lead the way. Desire to see the Ray on the rocky stones. My Ray woke the Lama invisibly. My Ray attracts the horse. The Ray paves your way. A pure stream of life refracts the Ray in the waves of your pilgrimage. The manifestation of prophecy may indicate My Power. Ask the Lama if he knows what greatness is destined for the warriors of spirit.

An anna[47]is equal to the sixteenth part of the rupee; count it as My Number. I feel you can easily multiply your number to Mine. Grasp every day for the joy of finding.

Lama Mingyur said today that he is here to help us. His Teacher, the Mongolian, was an astrologer. The Lama noticed the strangeness of his horse, which rides with the greatest eagerness to us, and the effort is needed to make him turn towards the house.

19 January 1924

“Shambhala is the indispensable site where the spiritual world unites with the material one. As in a magnet there exists the point of utmost attraction, so the gates of the spiritual world open into the Mountain Dwelling. The manifested height of Gaurisankar[48] helps the magnetic current. Jacob’s Ladder is the symbol of Our Abode.”[49]

It can be understood when Christ descends the Ladder, revealing a vessel of Light. In Spirits, the flame is manifested according to their essence. The Rays of Christ, as a touchstone, embody the Guarantee of the future work. Morya’s joy indicates who is facing the court of Mercy. Like a candle burns the sign of a High Initiation with Our disciples. The first sign is lit in the spirit; later, when matter voluntarily follows the spirit, the sign is assigned to the body. At that hour, We have a celebration. Then the chain of Heaven extends to Our Temple. And here, on earth, the music of the spheres is heard. The vault is decorated and lit with a new fire, and the hosts of Spirits communicate with the earthly Guards. Snow Giants guard the Great Mystery. The appearance of new brethren on the road is facilitated by the messengers. Urusvati had already seen something.

Question: What does the red ladder of the vision mean?—The ladder of abandonment of an earthly plane. Destruction of earthly desires.

Who was the majestic and impetuous Spirit in the sphere of the Red ladder?—The spirit of matter gives way to the Spirit.

Why are we, standing at the very foot of the Ladder of Light, chosen for such a responsible role, while others stood much higher?—The light must be seen from afar; your light seemed brighterto them.

From 18–19, I have heard: “A huge tide is coming, but My school will stand.”

20 January 1924

From 19–20: “But I have brought; I have given the Greatest signs!”

The highest signs can be revealed—raise what has already been sent. The main thing is the communication of terms and Hierarchy.

Fortunately, not all (to my remark that many know).

Now, We ask only to absorb calmly the drops of great signs;now, We ask to accept the beginning of the Teaching from the words of the Mongolian Teacher. What is given to you will come to you. I will settle Myself; I will bring Myself, as I have already brought a lot. The book on Buddhism is easy to read. A mountain of books is coming. Let us better work with the messages, which fill the book of the Teaching like grains. A week later, I advise you to approach the Lama; he also collected several grains. You need to know the Lama’s circle of development in building the future priesthood. Teaching the people should be vitally important.

“Superstition can be driven out only by respecting the forces innate in man.”[50]

Very vigilantly observe the expression of the eyes in the monasteries. A quiet trip may not repeat again. Activities can becomeso intense that there will be no time to look into the eyes. It is necessary to rememberto cast the line ahead; time is short; watch the rays in the eyes of the oncoming Lamas. You will not regret new experiences.

“One must know how people are awaiting My Coming. People’s desire forges a new rung for the ladder.”[51]

Protect your health, you need it for knowledge. Blavatsky’s health was excellent. But haste had damaged it and disrupted completion of the task. Do you really think that The Secret Doctrine should have come out in this form? The result was a set of notes, sometimes unrelated. A new book must be written—clarifying the meaning of the World Religion. To summarize does not mean to complicate. The whole writing is complicated, but the last page was supposed to be the easiest. And this page did not take place. We will bring it to the end.

21 January 1924

“The density of matter obstructs each experiment of the spirit. This concerns men as well as the whole of nature. For access to it matter must be melted. In the process of smelting there is produced a specific gas which assimilates with the substance of the spirit. In man, a gas emanates from the nerve centers at each ecstasy of happiness or unhappiness. Thus a laboratory of the spirit is obtained. Therefore, a misfortune is called the visitation of God, but each somnolent existence is death of spirit. In nature, ecstasies manifest as thunderstorms, earthquakes, eruptions of volcanoes and floods. A similar laboratory of spirit begins to work. Hence, all sparks of ecstasy are blessed. Molten matter yields to improvement and provides new formulae. Instead of prolonged researches it suffices to reflect the elements in Our mirrors, and then to accumulate new formulae. Then remains the second part of the work: patiently, and in due time, to give them to people. Upon the fires of ecstasy travels Our Ray, seeking admittance into the heart. Where is the happiness or misfortune that has opened the entry? But, contacting molten matter, one senses the pulse of Earth, and the heart must withstand the gravitation. Those who will take part in this work must guard their hearts. Therefore, I say, guard the heart—all else is easy to repair. It represents matter, whereas the nerves are subservient to the spirit. At the knock of the spirit the door of the solar plexus is opened. But each stroke of matter beats upon the heart. Whosoever wishes to come in touch with the formula of matter must guard the heart. Our medicine teaches how to strengthen the heart through breathing; but about this another time.”[52]

You will be happy with Us.

From 20–21: “Be strong, My dear!”

22 January 1924

“The nerve emanation is imponderable; it is odorless and invisible, because it is of the spirit. The product of the heart is blood, with all its earthly dimensions. Therefore, when it is said that one must feel with the heart, this means it should be adapted to the earthly plane.

“The sole bridge between the spirit’s understanding and the embracement of the earthly plane is the white blood corpuscle. But you know what conflict attends their existence. Do not the white corpuscles, subject to the forces of Earth and bearing the knowledge of spirit, seem to you like White Brothers? This is why harmony is so difficult on Earth.

(So anemic people are more spiritual? Often—yes.)

But to work there where the spirit has descended into matter, the conditions of both planes the mastery of the earthly formulae, one must possess a strong channel of the heart, because the reflex of the earthly signs carries dangerous sparks. But for Earth, all must be accomplished upon the earthly plane. Therein is the chief reason for the existence of the Brotherhood here.Therefore, upon Earth one must reach Us, discover Us, as silver ore—the best beneath the earthly crust.”[53]

Not on the wings, but on his feet reached Buddha. On a white camel, Christ rode with Me through the Pamir. Mountains, rivers, and ridges are full of silver. Maintain your health to the path of silver.

Morya—before Schagiy. Morya—the Leader of the first travelers. The Leader of the first people who moved.

I knew Morya—Yes, being His sister.

Send these two conversations to Lichtmann.

In the morning of 22, I recalled the Muromtsevs[54] and heard: “Having a cloud on their brows.”

23 January 1924

Please provide the control of the fierce spirits to Us. Action must be taken. The desire is to protect the secret in a timely manner. I will bring to the place in time—let them go their own way. It is impossible to endow you with slander. None should interfere with this time of rest. A very important year is passing now. Events have been set up that indirectly build these dates. Let the months pass in quiet labor. I know all the dangers—so just take care of your health; I will put the rest in order. Save the pure room, and speak with Me there. It is better to replace lunch with lunch downstairs.

Is it true that Saturn is there in my horoscope?—Yes.

So I have a difficult karma?—On the contrary, karma of the spirit is good if Saturn is to help; cannot go against you. Uranus creates connection with the constellations. It is the character of good eras when even the heavy forces must help.

24 January 1924

I shall move the mountain; I shall offer a prayer; I shall exalt a cover of snow to One God. I will raise those sent on the border of the road to Altai. I will uplift thewonderful Russian soul of Urusvati.I will show My Hand after the convergence of the Luminaries. I see a pledge in the appearance of wonderful stars. I sense the Ray of Kesil[55] can ignite a Diamond of Morya. I see the shields burning with the ray of forces of the Destiny (Fate) risen (rebelled) in heaven. I am tormented by thirst to see the rapture of the New World. I bless the desire to approach religiously Our conversations. I am glad to see the consciousness of necessity to work with human hands. I am sending power to work for learning. A miracle can touch soon.

Today is the twenty-fourth, Our new number—of the appearance of events. The number of My Ray.

25 January 1924

“At present great understanding of the revelation of the highest Teaching takes place.

“It is good to understand that the possession of objects should be devoid of a feeling of property ownership. It is good to possess things in order to take care of them, and even to surround them with a benevolent aura, with the thought of passing them on to others. The manifestation of a creative hand dwells in a house whose occupants are without attachment to property, and being improved it will carry joy further. The sign of the bestowing hand will be preserved continuously, and therein lies the justification of objects. Through this understanding is solved the most difficult problem. I say this for the world, because the ruination of the world arises chiefly from attachment to non-existent property. To inculcate this in the (Russian) new[56] people means to cure them of the fear of old age. Possession devoid of the sense of ownership will open the path to all without conventional inheritance. Who can improve, shall possess. This concerns lands, forests and waters. All mechanical achievements and various types of inventions are subject to the same principle. It is easy to imagine how folk creation will begin to work, especially in the knowledge that only the spirit offers the best solution. To the hearth of spirit shall be directed questions as to how best; and the sword of the spirit shall strike any evil guile. Verily, it is profitable to do better. The law is simple, as is everything of spirit.”[57]

Do not let the crafty people here. Protect this room from food. Here We will write down many of the laws and prayers of the Temple. Your body feels better already. Let us move on like the lions.

26 January 1924

In . . .[58] I see a University where the exact Sciences will finally be combined with the understanding of the spirit. Urusvati’s desire is legitimate; that is why until the . . .[59] she should participate in the work of Our Laboratory.

I imply Buddha as the Teacher. Christ entrusted the Ray towards Asia to Buddha. Christ is above actual Manifestations—you already know the sequence.

“Events have so piled up that the organisms of sensitive people are in tremor. One must ascribe the tremor of nerves (of Urusvati) to Cosmic disturbances.”[60]

It seems—here, I cannot keep up; but according to the Testament of Christ and the Ray of Buddha, is it possible to be late? It seems—dreams cannot come true, but it is only the consciousness of predestined happiness. But the measure of the Universe is great, and Urusvati will be allowed to take large luggage to Morya’s University. A breath of the current between Our House and the Temple will lead the experience of young scientists to a world understanding.

After a new phenomenon, and after the waters of A . . . [61],the people will receive a new sheath-fortress confirmed by science. Therefore, the current of magnetism is easily transmitted to water. We request: Be strong, Dear, the dates are already approaching. I will start the most important thing soon—tomove R . . .[62] to the field of knowledge and adoption of new forces.

The health phenomenon will stop nerve fatigue. After a quiet year, there will be a number of meetings. I sense the outer tide is great.
