35-2015 -TECHNIQUES OF TRIANGLES CONTINUED - LESSON 6 - LEARNING MENTAL TELEPATHY

I want to complete the Techniques so that you can participate with the understanding of the whys and wherefores necessary to do World Service for Humanity.  Remember, you are making a commitment to do a "daily service" at the same time every day not for self but for the opportunity that these Trianagles of Light radiate in a worldwide web of light driving out the darkness without your doing anything but sending love and light to your fellow human beings everywhere on earth - this is the real meaning of becoming a "light bearer" doing a simple act each and every day connecting to your two other participants while at the same time connecting with the entire "network of triangles throughout the world".  By doing the Great Invocation you are now acting as a conduit for Hierarchy to send light into the entire planet - you are now co-workers with Hierarchy acting not alone but as a "unit of light" from your soul to all souls residing on earth.

(9)  How Does the Network Increase (a) in quantity? (b) in Quality?

(a)  It is the responsibility of each Triangles worker to interest other men and women of goodwill and form new triangles for the strengthening and expansion of the network.

(b) The magnetic and radiant potency of the Triangles network depends upon the spiritual contribution of each individual triangle to the whole, which in turn depends upon the daily action of each Triangles worker.

The network of light and goodwill extends all over the world.  Every individual Triangles worker is a living point of light in that network.  Each one has, therefore spiritual and magnetic relationship in every other Triangles worker and should he or she recognize this basic fact be/she will know the individual self to be a part of a worldwide group, dedicated to the service to humanity.


A Network of Light Triangles Worldwid
Spiritual forces operate  through the human family whether we recognize them or not, but if we are to play our part as spiritual workers it is essential that we recognize the reality of these spiritual forces and learn to control them by the power of our thought.  It is, therefore, of great importance for the future of the work that every Triangles member should understand clearly and appreciate more definitely the significance of Triangles work.

We come naturally to the question of how  the network of Triangles increases in quantity and quality.  One person alone as a unit among many thousands scattered all over the world can be a true participant in a great worldwide spiritual effort, but the association formed by the method of work which we follow give each of us a special relationship to two other people.  It is this relationship which, when consciously used day by day, produces a brilliant focal point of light and a power station of goodwill which far transcends the sum total of what might be achieved by the same three people working alone. 

It is obvious, therefore, that at the extending of the network of light and goodwill throughout the entire body of humanity everywhere in the world depends upon new triangles being formed.  This means that the individual triangle member becomes naturally and joyfully alert in daily contacts to a similar attitude and a possible cooperative relationship with two other people who, if they had the benefit of experience in Triangles, would gladly join.  Triangles are being formed all over the world naturally and spontaneously and not at all in the spirit of sectarian propaganda or highly organized drives for members.

When an individual joins Triangles because he or she does not like to refuse a friend, it generally means very little, and instead of strengthening the work there is a little sagging point in the network.  The network increases in quantity by the formation of news triangle of people who are really interested in essential spiritual progress and who gladly undertake the daily work required.  This quality is built and sustained by each individual triangle, because when three people work in this manner, the effects are inevitably cumulative.

(10)  HOW IS EACH TRIANGLE MAINTAINED?

Triangle workers keep in touch with each other by letter (emails) telephone,  and personal contact, where possible, to ensure that their triangle is maintained as a functioning unit within the network.

As we all know, the strength and value of the Triangles network is created and sustained by what each individual triangle member does.  It is our action that makes it real.  With many thousands of us in action all over the world, our effort to help all people, everywhere is powerful and effective.

The significant feature of the work is its triangular basis of action.  We act in groups of three.  These triangular groups as they act correctly become, each one of them, a station of light in the worldwide network of light and goodwill.  We may, therefore, profit by reconsidering just how these focal points of light energy function.

IMPORTANT
The triangles in which we work must be real triangles actually working as a unit.  Each triangle member need to be in  touch with the other two members and to be conscious  of their action with him or her.  When one triangle member defaults it affects the other two.   The important thing is the work of the triangle, the combined sustained work of three people.


This triangles activity and the network it creates is clear, strong, mental work.  Daily we link up in thought with the other two members of our triangle, recognizing their oneness of purpose with us.  Each related triangle becomes a blazing station of light, and each one of us as an individual is "lost in that light".  The triangle then functions as a station of light in the network. 

(11)  WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR MEMBERSHIP?

All intelligent men and women of goodwill everywhere in the world without distinction of race, creed, caste or color are needed for service within the Triangles network.

The hope of humanity lies in each one of us, in the kind of everyday life, we live, in the quality of our human contacts.  Our problem  and the problem of humanity is one of relationships - relationships with thoughts, ideas, things and especially with other people.  When we solve our relationships we solve our problem.

In our limited surroundings our part within the broad sweep of human events seems trivial until we see meaning and possibility in the way we relate, ourselves to our own world.  Relationships that are rightly motivated, sound, clear and extending outward in light and goodwill to include the larger world community of races groups and nations, impulse a new vision within the human family.  They stimulate the possibility of a community of men and women united within the many diverging thoughts and ways of life, and living together in co-partnership. 

In the confusion and perplexities of the modern world the network of light and goodwill is firmly anchored within the consciousness of humanity.  It is a network of men and women of goodwill of all race and creeds, united in triangles of right relationship and service.  Those who join Triangles do so because of their sensitivity to world conditions and to humanity's need.  In a greater understanding of our purpose, and in a united goodwill among the peoples of  the earth can be seen the foundations of the new world community. 

(12)   IS TRIANGLES A RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT?

Triangles is not connected with, or confined to, any one of the great world religions.  It is a universal spiritual project, which, in practice, includes men and women of all faiths.

If we read this question and answer carefully, we find a distinction drawn between what is "religious" and why is "spiritual".  "Triangles is not a religious movement but is is a spiritual project.  As such it is inclusive of all religious faiths.  "Spirit" is the very essence of the Divine Life of God.  "Religion" is a man-made form for its containment and expression.

Triangles workers live and serve in all areas of the world, forming natural part of their own national and racial pattern, worshipping the one God under the name familiar to them.  The richness and effectiveness of the work lie in this wide sweep of world membership.  All are included, and all are reached and touched though the network.


In Triangles we have, therefore, an instrument for the creation of human unity and the right relation of the spiritual and material worlds, a vehicle for the circulation of light and goodwill and the restoration of the PLAN.

"All work is spiritual when rightly motivated".  "The spiritual fires for good work silently through the ethers, across all frontiers, and in spite of all obstacles.  In this process we, as Triangles workers of all faiths, have taken our place and there we serve the Plan. 



HOW TO FORM A TRIANGLE


The questions: "How does one start a triangle?" and "What is the best way to introduce people to the network of light and goodwill?"  are often asked.

Many people have had the experience of a triangle "forming itself', without apparent effort or planning, almost as if it "existed" before its members met or agreed to work together. But equally many others have trudged and searched for a long time without success.  What can they do when faced with an apparent void of potential co-workers?

Mental Preparation

The need for the right mental preparation in such a situation is often forgotten.  Successful Triangles work involves certain "likeness of mind".   We have to be able to "tune in" to the Triangles wavelength.  What better way of finding co-workers therefore than any first becoming a mental broadcasting unit, radiating the concept of Triangles and the need for co-workers into our mental environment, and enlarging our understanding by reading and reflection, so that our consciousness becomes impregnated and saturated with "Triangles essence."  How else indeed can one create the attractive magnetism that will evoke a response when the right person runs up.

The Link With the Network

We can at the same time start making a daily mental link with the network of light and goodwill, using the Great Invocation, and acting as if the anticipated triangle already existed.  Thus we visualize the two other lighted points in the confident expectation that at the right time the right people will emerge to fill them.

This daily link with the network also serves to charge the field of our consciousness and mental environment with magnetic power, increasing the attractiveness of the triangles "thought form" we are building.



A Network of Triangular Light


Right Action

Right inner preparation has to be followed by right outer action.  It is not difficult today to speak to people about prayer and meditation.  Men and women of goodwill are eager to find ways of serving their fellow human beings.  They know instinctively that humanity has need of light and goodwill and they do not need to be convinced that the power of the mind can be used in constructive service.

Yet too often we are reserved or hesitant. We have a secret inhibition that prevents us from talking as openly and whole-heartedly as we could. 

Another difficulty, frequently experienced, comes in the response.  "Why must I join a group?  It is not equally effective if I pray and say the Great Invocation on my own?  It is a great achievement for humanity to realize the fact of its inner subjective unity, and that when individuals pray to God, no matter when or where,  they are truly linking in with the ever present aspiration and invocation to divinity of the whole human family. 

Yet individual prayer is neither as effective nor as spiritually useful as conscious group invocation.  We should emphasize that this new age science of group invocation is a vital feature of the daily work of Triangles.

The Network


Finally we can point to two completely unique features to Triangles.  These are the fact of the triangle itself  and the   fact of the network.  Without channels into the everyday world, the spirit is powerless to influence human affairs.  The network formed by many thousands of interlinked triangles is first of all a worldwide group channel for the downpouring of spiritual energy into human consciousness.  The network is also a communications system.  All energy needs some "carrier' through which it can travel and bring its force to bear.  The Triangles network ensures that the light and  goodwill invoked by each individual triangle can circulate throughout the planet and therefore have a worldwide influence.



Example of Worldwide Network of Strands of Light forming the Antakahana

The Triangle

Triangular patterns are universal and basic to nature.  Science is categoric about this and religions teach the truth that a  trinity is to be found at the heart of every living form.  Triangles is in fact a supremely simple spiritual service linking both the religious and the scientific approaches to life.  Triangles can also be observed in ordinary human relations, for three is the smallest number that can form a group and the triangular relationship is the basic unit and nucleus of all group work.

In presenting Triangles, we can therefore point out that the network is rooted in a universal reality, and that everyone who works in Triangles is identifying with one of the fundamental life patterns of the planet.  We may not always succeed in kindling interest.  But as we work at the  task of expanding the network we are strengthening an open channel through which spiritual energies decend and building a more comprehensively universal system for the transmission and distribution of light and goodwill around the globe.

Some further suggestions for forming and maintaining Triangles

  1.  Realize first of all that you cannot be successful unless you yourself are
       profoundly, and not perfunctorily interested.

  2.  Realize next that many of your friends are truly and earnestly eager to
      help at this time of world crisis and that they do believe in divine guidance
     even if they have not discussed such a subject with you.

  3.  Keep in touch with the members of your triangle. As the one who has formed
      a new triangle it is your responsibility to keep interest alive in your two 
      friends until they are firmly established in the rhythm of the work.  Then
      continue to keep in touch and seek to strengthen and vitalize the work you
     are doing together within the network of Triangles.

  4. Every member of your triangle should be encouraged to form other triangles       and this is your definite responsibility. Try to bring this matter to their
     attention and provide what help and inspiration you can in their efforts.  It is
     in this way that the work can grow and spread as it should.

  5.  As a result of your subjective work within the network of light and goodwill,
      it should become increasingly easy for you and the members of your
      Triangle to express outwardly, in your sphere of existence and throughout
      your environment, the practical value and effectiveness of the light, love and
     goodwill invoked through  the daily work of Triangles. The personal example
     of a life lived in right relationship with others is inspiring and infectious.


HOW TO DO THE  WORK

TRIANGLES WORK is essentially simple.  It need take no more than a few moments each day, and with practice can be done almost anywhere, and at any time.  While workers must discover for themselves the methods of work which best suit them, there are certain basic principles which all can follow.  The following note outlines a brief procedure which is especially intended to assist new members. 

  1.  Place of Work.  It is always preferable to use a place where you can be quiet
and uninterrupted for five minutes.  Then, sitting relaxed but upright with eyes closed put everyday thoughts and feelings to one side and focus on the task of serving humanity through Triangles.  With practice this can be done almost instantaneously, rather as one would tune a radio set to a particular wavelength, in this case running into the network.

  2,  Link Mentally with each member of your triangle, or triangles, from the highest point of consciousness that you can achieve, "seeing" each triangle as a unit "in the mind's eye."  Visualization is a great creative force.  For some a mental picture is easily created.  Others build by imagination by repeating mentally the names of their fellow members, or by simply thinking about each triangle.  Some people combine several methods.  On the principle that energy follows thought, we can be confident that as we  think about them links are created, and kept vitally alive by this daily work. 

  3.  A Radiant Living Network of Triangles has been built around the planet as a result of the daily work of Triangles members.  Visualize the triangles in which you are working as an essential part of the worldwide Triangles network.

  4.  Visualize Light and Goodwill flowing into each of the three points of your triangle(s), circulation around the triangle from point to point, and flowing out through the network into the hearts and minds of men and women everywhere.  The soul or Christ principle can be found as a central point within each triangle, ad many people visualize this central point as the source of light and goodwill used in this work.  As light and goodwill are distributed, realize that they increase the brilliance of the whole network.  The consequent radiation has an inevitable constructive and healing effect, lifting and transforming human consciousness and establishing right human relationships. 

  5.  Sound the Great Invocation, silently or aloud, according to choice or circumstances.  As you repeat each stanza, visualize the network acting as a link between the world of spiritual realities and humanity, and as a channel through which light and love and divine purpose flow into the world. 

  6.  Summary of Procedure
      (a) Link mentally with members of your triangle(s)
      (b) Visualize your triangle(s) as part of the worldwide network.
      (c) Visualize light and goodwill flowing around the points of your triangle(s) 
           through the network, and into human consciousness.
     (d) Use the Great Invocation, perpetuating the flow of spiritual energy.


SOME ADDITIONAL POINTS

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING SYNCHRONIATION OF TIME

 1.  IT IS NOT NECESSARY FOR MEMBERS TO SYNCHRONIZE THE TIME AT WHICH THEY DO THE TRIANGLES WORK EACH DAY, AND IN FACT WHEN MEMBERS LIVE IN DIFFERENT PART OF THE WORLD, THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. ONCE TRIANGLES LINKS ARE BUILT IN MENTAL SUBSTANCE, THEY CAN BE "BROUGHT ALIVE" WHEN ANY ONE MEMBER DOES THE WORK.  THE TRUE SYNCHRONIZATION IS IN THE PURPOE AND INTENTION OF THOSE DOING THE WORK, NOT IN THE QUESTION OF TIME.

2.  NUMBER OF TRIANGLES.  SOME PEOPLE PARTICIPATE IN SEVERAL TRIANGLES, AND THIS  IS TO BE WELCOMED.  THERE IS A PRACTICAL LIMIT, HOWEVER, TO THE NUMBER OF TRIANGLE IN WHICH ANY PERSON CAN WORK EFFECTIVELY.  THE QUESTION ARIES:  HOW MANY TRIANGLES ARE YOU ABLE TO VISUALIZE AND HOLD CLEARLY IN YOUR MIND AT THE SAME TIME?  WE SUGGET, THEREFORE, THAT MEMBERS EITHER LIMIT THE NUMBER OF TRIANGLES IN WHICH THEY WORK, O THAT EACH CAN BE A VITAL FUNCTIONING UNIT, OR SPEND ENOUGH EXTRA TIME IN THIS WORLD SERVICE TO ENSURE THAT EACH TRIANGLE UNIT IS FIRMLY BUILT AND REGULARLY VITALIZED. 

  3.  If any member of your triangle(s) discontinues the work through decline of interest, death, or any other reason, please let us know at once..  We hope that in such cases, someone may soon be found as a replacement.  Although Triangles members occasionally wish to continue a triangle which is literally incomplete through the death of one member, we discourage this practice.  This requires the physical plane anchorage by al three points of the triangle.
