🌷 Reversing the Orientation 🌷

To enable the Hierarchy to express through us, we have to orient ourselves vertically towards inside, rather than horizontally into objectivity. 

To connect with God, the God-centre in us, is a vertical activity. Meditation means alignment with the Omnipresent who is particularly present in our head-centre. 

We can visualize how from above light and love pour in, or align ourselves by imagining above us a white bird, a lotus or a mountain. 

By aligning to the divine it can manifest through us. Like with a plug, we connect to the divine to transmit the energy to the surroundings.

When we feel the divine more and more, we can see how the light in the eyes of a man meets the light in us. By experiencing the divine in all we get the touch of the divine. 

It takes years of practice until the mind is continuously more occupied with the divine than with the objects. However, it is sufficient to keep on aligning and to remain in the upward orientation. 

We do not have to ask for alignment because when asking we are in a mental activity and not in the alignment. When we are aligned, the divine can work through us.

To be able to work with the Hierarchy we have to fulfil our obligations towards the surrounding life and to liberate ourselves from the bondages of obligations. 

We have a responsibility towards our bodies, towards our parents and fellow human beings, towards the plant and animal kingdoms. 

Today, however, an attitude of receiving prevails. We use the others for our purposes and take from the earth, from plants and animals without thinking to give something back. 

Even in spiritual life, prayers are focused on receiving; they are asking for prosperity, longevity, for things for one’s own purposes.

It needs a reversal of our orientation to an attitude of giving instead of receiving. We should think about what is good for others - this is good will; what others need - this is love; how we can intelligently help others - this leads to knowledge and wisdom. And even when we eat, we can offer the food to the Devas; they then take care of our health.

By developing an attitude of service we will come out of our bondages. We do not need to be pro-active with our attitude to serve; it is sufficient to be ready and to respond to what comes to us. 

Nature responds to this attentive attitude. When we intonate the OM and send it into the environment, those who need our help will come.
