Certainly, as students, we are understandably impatient to see the results of our efforts. Yet we can achieve nothing until we can master our impatience.
On the other hand, merely to fight against impatience in the ordinary ways does no good. It only strengthens it. We would only be deceiving ourselves and our impatience would sink its roots deeper into our souls.
Only if we surrender ourselves repeatedly to a particular thought, making it completely our own, can we achieve anything. This thought is: “I must do everything I can for the education of my soul and spirit; but I will wait calmly until the higher powers consider me worthy of illumination.”
Once this thought has become so powerful in us that it has become part of our character, then we are on the right path.
Before long, this new character trait puts its outward signature upon us. Our gaze becomes calm, our eye steady, our movements confident, our decisions definite. Any nervousness we previously felt gradually disappears.
At this point, certain apparently insignificant little “rules” must be observed.
For example, let us say someone offends us. Previously, before esoteric training, we would have turned our feelings against the offender. Irritation and anger would have bubbled up within us.
Now that we are on the path to higher knowledge, however, the thought immediately comes to us: “This insult does not alter my true worth.”
Then we do what needs to be done, calmly and with detachment rather than out of anger. This does not mean that we simply swallow insults; rather, we should be as calm and confident in responding to insults directed at us as we would be if we acted on behalf of someone else who had been insulted.
We must always bear in mind that esoteric learning does not occur through great outer events but rather through quiet, subtle inner changes in our lives of thought and feeling.

What the Japanese call Ki and the Chinese call Chi we call the Vril-Energy. Chinese Martial arts such a Tai Chi, Kung Fu and Wing Chun were originally centred around this energy. This is held in Three Centres - Lower Dan Tien (2" below navel), Middle Dan Tien (Solar Plexus) and the Higher Dan Tien (Head-Third Eye). The Lower Dan Tien is the Ur-Centre (Hara = Gut - Intuition), the Solar-Plexus/Heart Centre is the seat of the E-motions (Energy in Motion), and the Head-Centre is the seat of the Restless-Spirit (Wod) & Intelligence. This Vril-Energy enters from the top of the head and flows through the body. The thought generates an EMF which moves the Vril-Energy to energise the muscles for martial use. The idea or thought guides the movement of Vril-Energy.

1. Control of the Body - Posture and Form (Stillness and Movement = Ice & Fire). 2. Control of the Mind - Calm Mind, One-Pointed Concentration, Still the Mind. 3. Rhythmic Breath - Abdominal Breathing, usually pushing out on the in-breath, slow and long but not filling the lungs (which tenses the muscles). 4. Control of Body, Mind and Breath brings control of the Vril-Energy. 5. Control the Spirit - enlightenment. The 'Essence of the Son' is the male sperm, passed from father to son-daughter; this passes on the Ur-Essence (which can be changed to the Ur-Vril-Energy which is why it is important to use Spiritual Exercises. Food and Air are the means to enhance this Vril-Energy throughout life.

You must be ready to accept the possibility that there is an unlimited range of consciousness for which we now have no words; that consciousness can expand behind the reach of your ego, your self, your family identity, beyond all that you have learned, beyond your notions of space and time, behind the differences that usually separate people from each other and the world around you.

Patience has the effect of attracting the treasures of higher knowledge. Impatience repels them. Haste and unrest achieve nothing in the higher realms of existence.
Above all, longing and craving must be silenced. These are soul qualities in the face of which all higher knowledge shyly retreats.
Precious as higher knowledge is, if it is to come to us, we must not long for it. Moreover, if we wish it only for our own ends, we will never attain it.
This requires in the first place that we be honest with ourselves in the depths of the soul. We can no longer have any illusions about ourselves. We must look at our own mistakes, weaknesses, and shortcomings in the eye with inner truthfulness.
Each time we find an excuse for a weakness, we place an obstacle before us on our upward path. Such obstacles can be removed only by becoming enlightened about ourselves.
There is but one way to overcome failings and weaknesses—to see them for what they are, with inner truthfulness. All that lies dormant in the human soul can be awakened. Even intuition and reason can be improved if—calmly and detachedly—we become clear why we are weak in these areas.
Such self-knowledge, of course, is difficult. The temptation to deceive oneself is enormous. But if we make a habit of being honest with ourselves, the doors to greater insight open for us.

Patience is waiting for the tea to brew; impatience is sipping it while it’s still just hot water and wondering why life has no flavor!

Patience is like waiting for your tea to steep; impatience is trying to speed it up by shouting at the kettle. Both might get you somewhere, but only one won’t burn your mouth!

The Hidden Pyramid of North Dakota : A Military Mystery and Beyond
The Stanley R. Mickelsen Complex, located in Cavalier County, North Dakota, is a pyramid-shaped military installation built during the Cold War to defend the United States against possible Soviet missile attacks. This radar structure, designed to intercept ballistic missiles, has for years aroused the interest of many researchers and ufologists because of its pyramidal shape, reminiscent of ancient pyramids found in Egypt, Central America and Asia.
Inaugurated in 1975, this defense station had radars capable of detecting intercontinental missiles more than 1,100 kilometers away. Despite its advanced capabilities, the facility was officially shut down after just four months of operation, raising questions about its true purpose. Speculation abounds, with some suggesting that it was never truly deactivated and may still serve undeclared purposes today, similar to those of the mysterious Dulce base.
Some theorists posit that the pyramid shape of this structure may have a connection to ancient civilizations, suggesting that it could be used for functions far more complex than simple military defense. Although the facility is officially abandoned, sightings of unidentified flying objects in the area are fueling speculation that it may still be operating for covert purposes.

The mystical practice of alchemy to create objects out of raw matter or turn one object into another is widely believed to be capable of anything - indeed alchemy is often viewed as magical or miraculous by those unfamiliar with the craft - but it is a science and as such is subject to certain laws and limitations, all of which fall under the concept of Equivalent Exchange (等価交換 Tōka Kōkan): "In order to obtain or create something, something of equal value must be lost or destroyed." In standard practice, Equivalent Exchange is separated into two parts: The Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that energy and matter can neither be created from nothing nor destroyed to the point of elemental nonexistence. In other words, to create an object with the mass of one kilogram, at least one kilogram of material is necessary; destroying an object with the mass of one kilogram would reduce it to a set of parts, the sum of which would have the mass of one kilogram. The Law of Natural Providence, which states that an object or material made of a particular substance or element can only be transmuted into another object with the same basic makeup and properties of that initial material. In other words, an object or material made mostly of water can only be transmuted into another object with the attributes of water.
