War letters from the living dead man

If Germany would even now turn to the Supreme Unity and worship the One
of the System instead of her little racial god, she could recover the
ground she has lost, after a time of suffering and initiation. Will she
do it? That remains to be seen. Help with the Masters to hold back the
bad karma of that race.
FOOTNOTES:
[Footnote 2: I have been somewhat troubled by the unusual expression,
“climax a rhythm.” But as there are many rhythmic ripples in every
great wave, and as the highest reach of a wave may be said to be
its climax, I assume that “X” is using words with the same judicial
precision which he used on earth, and that the climax of a rhythmic
wave may be called the climax of a rhythm.--_Editor._]
LETTER XIV
THE FOEMAN WITHIN
YOU have something more to do than simply to write down what I say
about brotherhood. With selfless devotion you must help the world to
realize it, pointing out the way to individuals and aggregates of
individuals.
Universal Brotherhood! It has a pretty sound, and mouths have repeated
it for the sake of its music, when the meaning of it was neither in the
heart nor in the brain.
Universal Brotherhood is not only the brotherly relation between the
units of the Many, but Universal Brotherhood is also their unity,
conscious and real, in the One Self. Universal Brotherhood is the
return of the Many to the One, as well as their enjoyment of the
journey itself.
You have repeated the old Hindoo word, formula, mantra, AUM, repeated
it like a parrot; but if you had realized AUM I should not have to
preach brotherhood to you, and by “you” I mean all men and women who
have prattled of Universal Brotherhood.
A-U-M--the One, the Many, and the Union between them: the Self, the
Not-Self, and the Negation of separateness. AUM, the seed, the plant
and the perfume.
What do you fancy that you are in the world for?
You have heard of Mulaprakriti, you Theosophists: Mulaprakriti,
root-nature. You have heard of the three gunas, or qualities of
Mulaprakriti, satwa, rajas, tamas: _satwa_, light, being, peace;
_rajas_, action, passion, assertion; _tamas_, darkness,
inertia, denial.
Some of you have also heard of Christ, Lucifer, Ahriman.--Satwa, rajas
and tamas, again, under other names.
You Kabalists have heard of Neshamah, Ruach, Nephesh: aspiration,
individual intelligence, materiality.
You have all heard of Vishnu, Brahma, Shiva: the Preserver, the
Creator, the Destroyer.--Yes, that is the proper order, for Vishnu
preserves from kalpa to kalpa, and Brahma recreates.
Krishna (Vishnu) says in the Bhagavat-Gita, “I am the Self that is
seated in the hearts of all beings.”
He is the One _and_ the Many, for He is in the many and the many
are in Him. You _cannot_ realize Krishna save as you realize Him
as the Self that is seated in the hearts of all beings. You cannot
realize the Christ until you can see Him in the hearts of all beings.
