Exercises (spiritual) - conditions for their effectiveness
Spiritual exercises are nothing much in themselves. They become truly effective and beneficial only if they are carried out in the light of a teaching that gives knowledge about the invisible world – about the different beings that live in it, the laws that govern it, the forces that move through it. And, even more importantly, a spiritual teaching reveals what goes to make up a human being, what subtle organs and centres allow them to contact the regions of light in space. But even that is not enough. Anyone who has received this knowledge must decide to change the way they live, to sacrifice those activities or habits that are in contradiction to the aims of Initiatic Science. That is the most essential thing; you must take it into consideration. Do not limit yourself to an intellectual understanding of spirituality, but try to gain true understanding, the understanding that floods your whole body, right to the tiniest cell. Each exercise will then have true significance for you, and it will enlighten you and bring you strength.
