It is a good choice not to go against the flow, but to move with the flow itself, albeit at a significantly slower speed and, depending on the situation, at the edge of the flow.<\/p>\n\n<p>In doing so, the conscious walking and the simultaneous inner recitation of the mantra are of deep significance. Those who are standing pause in the recitation.<\/p>\n\n<p>It may come as a surprise that we assume that this particular practice should only be applied for a few minutes or moments. Each practitioner must feel to what degree of inner tension they can apply it in each instance. We therefore advise you to start cautiously and to carefully observe the effect on your own mental and spiritual self.<\/p>\n\n<p>If you are looking for a reference or key to this occult practice, you may want to take a look at the picture of Nicolas Roerich.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/theosophy-contemporary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/16-sings-of-christ-banners-of-the-east1.webp\" alt=\"From: &#x2018;Kryptogramme des Orients&#x2019; by Josefine Saint-Hilairi (pseudonym of H.

Everywhere We found the desecration of religion. On the way back, at full moon, the memorable saying of Christ happened. During the nocturnal march, the guide missed the way. After some searching, I found Christ sitting on a sand hill, looking into the moonlit sand.<\/i> <i>I said to Him: \u2018We have lost the way, we must await the signs of the stars.\u2019 \u2018Rossul M., what does a way mean to us when the whole world awaits us?\u2019 He took His bamboo staff and drew a square around the imprint of His foot and said: \u2018Verily I say: with human feet.\u2019<\/i> <i>Then He pressed the palms of His hands into the sand and drew a square there also, saying, \u2018Verily I say, with human hands.\u2019 Between the two squares He drew a kind of pillar and above it connected the two squares with an arch. He said, \u2018Oh, how Aum will penetrate human consciousness! Here I drew a pistil and above it an arch, thus establishing the foundation in four directions.<\/i> <i>When by human hands and by human feet the temple is built in which the pistil laid low by Me blossoms, then let the builders tread My Way. Why wait for a Way when the Way lies before Us?\u2019 \u2014 He rose and erased the drawing with the bamboo stick. When the name of the temple is pronounced, the inscription will appear.<\/i> <i>Remembering my constellation, a square and nine stars will shine above the temple. The sign of the foot and the hand will be inscribed above the cornerstones. Thus He spoke on the eve of the full moon, and the heat in the desert was great.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n\n<p>This quote can be found in the book \u201cAGNI YOGA\u201d.<\/p>\n\n<p>It spans an arc that covers 2000 human years. May the \u2018Wanderer\u2019, as Mahatma Morya calls the Christ in the books of Agni Yoga, continue to be followed by wanderer even 2000 years later. In their \u2018journey\u2019 described at the beginning of this text, the symbol of the foot has been fulfilled.<\/p>\n\n<p>Mahatma M. puts it this way:<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2018Our Brotherhood can be cited as an example. Without an understanding of earthly conditions, it could not exist. Those who reject earthly conditions deprive themselves of mercy and compassion. But without these qualities, spiritual progress is impossible. The teaching of a renewed world cannot live in the midst of hard-heartedness. The humanities cannot develop where the heart is silent.\u2019 Supermundane 2 in the AGNI YOGA Series<\/p>\n\n<p>(from \u201eSupermundane 2\u201c in the AGNI YOGA series)<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/theosophy-contemporary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Target-13.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download content (pdf, englisch)<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An effective example of an application of the mantra given in target 12, while observing the required principles, is a hike through crowds of people who find themselves on the move, for example, hurrying to or leaving large events.
