Take it that each life is a cube of planes, of experiences. These
experiences are co-existent and knit together, as firmly in the life of
a human being as the many planes are co-existing, and knit together in a
mathematical cube. You can dissect the cube and slice off infinitesimal
small planes in sections.
So is the individual life sliced off into an infinite number of planes
by the sequences of Time (our three-dimensional condition).
But these experiences--great or small, important or trivial (from your
point of view)--_exist in the cube of that person's earth pilgrimage_,
as the colours exist in the White Ray.
The Ray may be split up into sequence, but the colours belong to it all
the same, and by a _perfectly seeing eye_ would be known and recognised
without the help of the spectroscope.
The true seer is the one who sees the cube of your life; before whom it
is spread out, without Time Separations, into planes of experience. This
is the real secret of all _foretelling_. Such people, when honest, have
some amount of access to the cube of earth life, some more, some less.
Many mix up and confuse what they see; but they do see beyond the plane
section which Time gives to the normal human being.
I think you have taken enough now.
I will only add that, of course--as you know--there is nothing arbitrary
in the cube of life, as I have called it. It is built up of necessary
experiences and necessary consequences. But it is built up by Love and
Wisdom, the two Elements of the Divine Nature, in which we live and move
and have our being. H. D.

The next selection that I shall give from my automatic script comes from
an entirely different personality, which can be sufficiently indicated
by the initials E. G.
E. G.--Worship is a necessary part of each soul's training, and we can
only worship that which we feel to be above and beyond ourselves. As we
grow older and become more developed in spiritual consciousness, so do
we tend more and more to worship the inner and intangible, rather than
the outer and manifest. So whilst the instinct of worship is always the
same, the objects and methods must continually change with our own
advancing realisation and unfolding consciousness.
Those limitations which once made for reverence are in time found to be
cramping and to lead to superstition.
It is the same with the education of either children or of childish
nations.
