Djwhal khul: The Tibetan Master

It will become increasingly apparent to you that the entire life of a disciple becomes one of reflective meditation. Meditation forms may at some point of unfoldment drop away, but the habit of meditation will become a permanent and considered habit and will know finally no termination; when that point is reached, the idea of direction will take on divine significance. 

Here is a second hint on the same theme. 

You will recollect that in my last Instruction the whole subject of meditation was summarized for you as follows:

1. A preliminary stage wherein the theme of meditation was recognized.

2. Receptivity in attitude, so that the possible and esoteric teaching may be recognized and absorbed.

3. The transmission of ideas in some form or another to the brain after they have been registered by the mind in the form of seed thoughts, hints or             presented themes and concepts.

4. The deliberate focussing of thought upon these ideas.

5. As these ideas are considered and developed, they are subjected to analysis and take shape eventually as created thought-forms.

6. They are then subjected to a process of unification through the conscious and constant use of a mantram.

If this outline for thinking is carefully considered, it will be apparent to you that it is suitable for all true thought processes, all mental moods, and all analysis and application of occult hints. I wanted you to realize the essential simplicity of all divine processes and to note the ultimate fact that such processes culminate in a spiritual identification, proving past all controversy that separateness is fundamentally nonexistent. This is true also of the formulas which we have been considering.
