the past illness is cast out, not only physically but spiritually. One should apply the same simple
method in all the situations of life. Particularly during fiery actions, when fire is palpitating
because of darkness, one should not think about darkness and its reaction on fire. A manifestation
referring to the future will kindle the heart. The most oppressive thing can be dispelled only
because of the future. Fools clamor about finite life. Can eternal life possible be terminated? So
many terrible things have to be preformed in order to violate life! Even wild beasts do not dare to
return to the dust of the abyss.
444. Boldness should be combined with caution. Otherwise boldness will be madness and caution
will turn into cowardice. People who can picture to themselves the entire complexity of fiery
waves can appreciate the advice of caution. The Yogi does not forget full caution; in it there is
respect for the great element and reverence for the Fiery World. One may understand that it is
necessary to exert the utmost caution, as when passing between rows of the finest vessels. If these
works of fiery labor require such carefulness, the fiery waves themselves enlarge the path of our
observation of the heart.
445. Among psychic maladies the most frightful, almost incurable, are treachery and blasphemy.
Once a traitor, always a traitor. Only the strongest fiery shock can purify such an infected brain. If
such a criminal condition emanates from obsession, this is likewise not comforting. Is it possible
to conceive of cooperation with a traitor or a blasphemer? They are like a plague in the house.

They are like a fetid corpse. Thus, the Fiery World has no consolation for traitors and
blasphemers.
446. It can be observed that the Subtle World is approaching the earthly. Even fiery sendings do
not miss the Earth, but the consciousness of people can sometimes be far from the reception of
these manifestations. The word is uttered, but the consciousness is silent. There is not even a
restlessness fitting before great events. The death-like state of the consciousness is staggering!
One can understand how gradually the subsequent Teaching must be given! A readiness to apply
the Teaching to life is noticeable only in rare cases, but the fiery manifestations tarry not. Not
having been transmuted by the human consciousness, they flow into dangerous channels.
We would wish that that which is taking place could keep people from madness. Planets
are speaking with bloody rays, but this ancient science is also dead in the hands of destroyers.
Worthy minds suffer under the laws of madness and ignorance. Light-mindedness is not in
conformity with the discoveries of science. Indeed, each one may prepare an abyss for himself, if
he wishes. But madmen have no right to drag worthy ones along with them. In addition, very
grave is the last conjunction of the luminaries. It is necessary to contact carefully the fiery forces.
447. The embryo of the spirit actually does not begin with human evolution; its manifestation
refers to an indescribable fiery process. That is why you apply to man the words-kindling of the
spirit. Precisely, given to man was the kindling of fire, which dwells in all the manifestations of
creativeness. One should remember that powerful energies have been entrusted to man; therefore,
whoever does not kindle the spirit does not fulfill his destiny. Precisely, self-perfection itself is
first of all attained in the consciousness of the manifestation of spirituality. There can be no
approach to the Fiery World without the manifestation of spirituality. This must be remembered
by all.
Some suppose that spirituality consists in the reading of spiritual books. There are many
such readers but few who carry out.
448. Assist all who strive for perfectionment. Discern where there is striving and where
possibility of defection. Discern where there is love for ascent and where the restlessness of
doubt. He is a false teacher who elevates doubt into dogma; distrust is not the aim of the
discipline of the spirit kindled by Truth.
449. One should observe that during especially grave conjunctions of the constellations strong
spirits appear. One may investigate in history how systematically powerful helpers are sent from
the Fiery World, who take upon themselves the burdens of the World, and who plant magnets for
the future. One must study the history of the planet from all angles, in various branches of
knowledge. One should recognize the winding paths of humanity as a science connected with the
basic laws of the Universe. The study of the chemism of the luminaries should be introduced
without delay. Already much valuable material has been accumulated which once again confirms
the bond between all the Worlds.
450. What We mean by caution must be definitely understood. The ignorant may assume that
caution is inaction or the gloom of fear. On the contrary, caution is a strengthening of action,
watchfulness and courage. Caution is very necessary when fiery waves are provoked. One can
