RAY THREE [of seven techniques of integration]

With the third ray soul love of truth must dominate

While the love of his own thoughts he must terminate
Love of the ordered process must control
While the love of his own wild activity is not the goal

Enforced quiet will brings about the true alignment

Not of meditation but of living and self-confinement
From the glamorous forms with which he is surrounded
So that his personality can be grounded

Otherwise he will manage to get nowhere

Always be occupied with objective somewhere
Which may materialise in some dim and distant future
While failing the objective of the immediate future

The expression of wasted energy to be

Where futility is the result to see
When carefully laid plans
Cannot end their dance

To offset this, he must stand quiet at the centre

Thus allowing time for new visions to enter
And no longer make opportunities for himself on his way
But meet those opportunities which come his way

Thus through a very different activity as yet

He applies himself to the need to be met
From the angle of a glamoured third ray attitude
He will start to work from a higher altitude

Thus alignment is reached through stillness

But this will first lead to some mental illness
Like a deep distress over the uselessness of everything  
And his determination to stand as a spiritual being

This crisis evokes understanding and light

Revelation upon revelation, ever bright
He begins to work with the Plan as it is
And not as he thinks it is 

This process takes much time and stammer

Corresponding to those spent on glamour
But having done all this by filling his cart
The third ray man is ready to play his part

Enmeshed within my self-created glamour, no more 

Through stillness I am ready to go to war
