The shaft of light that we send forth in prayer interpenetrates into the higher as well as into the lower planes. The mind should therefore seek purity and not invoke the animal entities of the Secret Enemy that will attempt to control our thoughts and envelop us in harmful conditions. The Dayspring of Youth, by M

It is well to send a silent prayer inwardly before beginning our practice, and this will harmonise us to our Innermost. A prayer will sometimes evoke something within us that will operate a centre which begins to teach us. When the student is alone, and will not disturb anyone, he should pray aloud with strength and vigour; this vibrates his mental body, and will pass more easily and clearly through the three lower spheres of illusion and contact spheres of worth. The Dayspring of Youth, by M

There are many different systems of Yoga; but Nature’s science is the one adapted for Western bodies; for the analytic and scientific Western mind needs demonstration and fact. We can devote our lives to meditation and prayer, and gain great purity of thought; we can sever ourselves through love from the activities of the opposition by taking the path of the mystic, but later we realise that we must build up our own framework and seek to erect our own temples in full consciousness of each step. The Western mystic seldom does this; for present-day conditions prevent him from retreating from the world to pass his time in prayer and devotion and gain union with his Innermost. We should also realise that the new hierarchal consciousness will not revert us to past methods of Yoga.

In these submerged worlds the student reads his past records and sees when, owing to great evil and sufferings on his part, he began to seek an inner and higher security and prayed for such guidance. This then contacted him with the powers of good who instructed him regarding his daily life. The Dayspring of Youth, by M
