Becoming Impressionable to Divine Purpose;
What Obscures and What Aids the Process?
Iris Spellings
And the Blessed One said, "Distinguish between those who understand and those who agree. He who understands the Teaching shall not tarry in applying it to life. He who agrees will nod and extol the teaching as remarkable wisdom but will not apply this wisdom to life. ...Those who understood are few but like a sponge they drink in the precious knowledge and are ready to cleanse the horrors of the world with the sacred liquid. He who understands cannot but apply the Teaching because realizing goal-fitness, he accepts it as a solution of life."1

Becoming impressionable to Divine Purpose requires a consciousness and willingness to cooperate. It is a positive collaboration and proceeds under law and for a specific purpose—in line with the Law of Synthesis, of unity and fusion. The motive is ever the greater helping of the race. Impression is one of the methods to be used by the Coming Christ* and His Great Ones to do just that for the helping of the world. All attitudes, relationships and actions that are contrary to or impede realization of the One Life and violate the essential unity of humanity foster glamour and illusion. Fatigue, lack of focus and 'busy-ness' on the physical plane do much to obscure the process, also. Discipline enables one to achieve the alignment necessary to render oneself a fit vehicle for Impression. Working in cooperation with the Masters of the Wisdom—the Hierarchy of Light and Love—we become the recipients of impression and of energy. The head center registers Purpose. The ajna center focuses intention. The energy of Will impresses us from the Ashram via the Antahkarana—a result of registration by the head center, which is then distributed through a focus on the ajna center. Impression leads to application in service. In a manner of speaking, this process proceeds to turn the disciple "inside out" as he/she begins to live in greater consciousness and expression. The following disciplines, requirements and methods will assist in the process of becoming impressionable to Divine Purpose:
