Have you ever thought about what a tremendous in-fluence can emanate from a Spiritual School; an influence that can affect the whole of the world and mankind?
A mystery school is designed specifically for people who really want to walk the path and who, together, wish to form God’s people. However, the Spiritual School also fulfils another function for, by means of its third magnetic field, it exerts a decisive influence on the whole of human existence. This aspect of the Brotherhood’s tremendous work of liberation should never be underestimated. We are often so absorbed in the primary aim of the process of liberation that we tend to forget the wider aspects of the School’s helping work.
The influences and effects of the third magnetic field are often discussed in the School, but there is much more that could be said about its full implications and side-effects.
Did you know that by applying the method of not-doing, by practising all aspects of self-surrender, you are living and acting in an extremely revolutionary way with respect to the whole dialectical nature-order? And did you know that, if a sufficient number of people were to begin to walk the paths shown by the School, then this alone would be enough to transform the face of the world in no time at all, to say nothing of the ultimate effects of the third magnetic field’s radiation? Even if less than one percent of the world population were to practise Wu Wei, not-doing, this small minority would be capable of changing the whole social, political, economic and religious structure of our society, and the results would be ideal, seen from a dialectical point of view. And did you know that there have actually been periods in history when such situations really did prevail?
In the history of ancient China there were times when so great a number of people were following in the footsteps of Lao Tzu that ideal conditions developed throughout the country, to the extent that people called it ‘The Celestial Realm’ and came from all over the world to study its political system.
But the result was that things very quickly went wrong. Things would have deteriorated in the end, anyway, because such ideal conditions are only a temporary phenomenon caused by the radiations of the Spiritual School. But when people tried to trace the causes of this resurgence in the political system rather than in the prac-tice of Wu Wei, prosperity was bound to come to an early end.
