Can A Person Advance Outside of The Stelle Group? Question: Is
it possible for someone to take a different route to Egoic advancement other
than The Stelle Group? Answer: There
must be several hundred bona fide groups for people to improve themselves
Egoically. Each group appeals to a certain type of personality; and whatever
that person’s need happens to be at the moment and whatever will grab his
attention will move him along to do something. The Stelle Group is a
spiritual community that is also involved in direct problems of maintaining
the better aspects of technology for preserving mankind. There are many other
groups that are working on other areas of human endeavor which may not have
anything to do with survival. It is not even necessary that everyone survive.
You will be able to reincarnate again. In other words, The Stelle Group is
not the only avenue that will eventually result in human improvement. It is
best that each goes his own route. You couldn’t even begin to join The Stelle
Group unless you were enthusiastic about it. If you find something else that
you are really enthusiastic about, that is the one that you are going to
advance in. (07-1973)
QUESTION:
What would happen if a person meets all the qualifications, and after the
interview would decide that he did not want to function within the
organization of the Brotherhoods? Would he still attract the attention of the
Brotherhoods after that? RICHARD:
Obviously the person raised himself to the point of becoming an Initiate, and
fulfilled all the basic requirements by his own efforts. Now, that doesn’t
mean that he didn’t take advantage information that had been put together by
the Brotherhood’s. Perhaps got it through his reading of things about the
Brotherhoods or actually took a course where he got the information about the
Brotherhoods, and operated on that formation. The point is, that he didn’t
advance himself within the organization of the Brotherhood, and he obviously
can keep on advancing without having to join them. The 100 million or so
Masters associated with our life-wave didn’t have any Brotherhoods to work within
when they advanced. Almost all of them made Mastership during Lemurian times
and a small percentage within the ancient Atlantean, Egyptian, and Indian
cultures; and during that 50,000 years that that the Lemurian civilization
was extant, there were no Brotherhoods yet. QUESTION: So then it is possible to operate
outside of a Brotherhood although there are obvious advantages of operating
inside a brotherhood? RICHARD:
The advantages to operating within a Brotherhood are essentially the
advantages that accrue to mankind. Being a Brother gives you a greater
opportunity to help people who are coming up behind you. At the same time,
the Brotherhood’s have a great deal of work to be done here on the mundane
level. Only brothers or those who are invited to work for Brothers are the
people who are working under the Great Plan. The Brotherhoods’ work is all
coordinated, and it leads to specific ends. There is a strict timetable, and
there are definite things that must be done within certain periods so the
next steps can be accomplished and have it all fit together into the Grand
Plan. Many workers are needed; so if a qualified candidate for Initiation
elects to not join the brotherhood’s, an appeal is made to one’s sense of
responsibility to join the Brotherhoods and take up the work that is so
essential. QUESTION:
I guess it would be more effectual to operate in an organization, you could
have more impact than trying to affect change as one individual. RICHARD: And
just one person can rarely make any effectual change on the whole world
without having inspired the co-operation of others. Christ’s advent twenty
centuries ago was one of the best orchestrated and most massively-supported,
behind-the-scenes operations carried out by the Brotherhoods acting a the
“Holy Spirit.” They put Christ on the map; otherwise He would have been a
lone voice crying in the wilderness of Roman Judea and forgotten in a
generation. |
