discipulos e mestres

 

In order to tread the Path of Liberation the Disciple must keep in mind the following rules, so as far as possible

adjust to them.

Acting. - To live for edifying purposes; to avoid idleness; to serve aggrandizing ideals; not to give in to passions; and not to allow the mind to weaken or to be subdued by any force foreign to our conscience or will.

Attention. - To live always attentive to the higher needs of an aggrandizing life or existence; attend to the imperatives of the spirit; to assume positive mental attitudes, and to use biological, psychic and cosmic forces for a superintending purpose, of an ecumenical, transcendent and purely spiritual nature.

Belief. - It must be healthy, without prejudice, not of mere faith, without vanities, without doctrinal or dogmatic limits; and the conviction must correspond to a broad, cultured mind and ready for the greatest achievements.

Effort. - To commit oneself to a life that is always useful; to have a trade or profession; to make oneself worthy of living and to honor oneself, others and everything one does through high aspirations and noble commitments.

Expression. - Healthy conversation; precision in definitions and in what is spoken; purity of language, and subtlety of motives.

Meditation. - To achieve noble accomplishments through a proper function of the mind; to put Consciousness into operation to satisfy its own objectives; to allow a free, broad and categorical expression of the spirit in itself, and to make the values of the infinite preponderate everywhere.

Nobility. - Pure, spiritual longings vitalized by a mental performance of strong thoughts and constructive; predominate by the haughtiness of purpose and moral superiority, that is, by the powers and virtues of the one's own conscience.

Will. - A firm and invincible decision is necessary; personal control; self-dependence; character capable of withstanding all the vicissitudes of life, with the best moral dispositions and always within the the highest aspirations.
