137 - Sense of Discrimination Stands for the Highest Good
by Connie Kadansky, D.D. from Ageless Wisdom University, current student at TSG University
(image is Patagonia Lake in Arizona)
Recently, I attended a lecture of a medical doctor. He started out by saying "America is getting dumber and dumber." He spoke about the choices of the food we eat, along with the various ways we distract ourselves from living our purpose. It caused me to ponder on the virtue of discrimination, and how that plays a major role in how we spend our time. Am becoming more aware of the energy we may be giving to things that are not important and wasting vital energy that could be used more wisely.
We have a choice to distinguish between what is essential and what is non-essential.
In Psyche and Psychism Torkom writes that "the sense of discrimination stands for the highest good, and the shortest path of evolution for a human being. It saves time, energy and health and makes you successful, powerful and beautiful."
Are we on the Path to Infinity or are we wandering around the jungle and getting distracted by chaos, pride, glamours, illusions, vices, blind urges, drives and pleasures of the physical bodies?
Where in your life can you use more Discrimination?
In the newly released book, Psychology of Imagination and Visualization it states that those who have developed discrimination and intuition will be able to draw powerful and revolutionary currents from the Plan and from Higher Worlds to introduce changes into the fields in which they work. This is how the life of the world improves and makes people actualize talents sleeping in them and put them out for the service of others.
It is important to repeat that creative imagination works with discrimination and intuition. Discrimination decides the course of its action. Intuition provides the visions, ideas and revelations. Creative imagination orchestrates them to meet the needs of life.
As you know, there is another definition for discrimination which means treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than on individual merit: racial or religious intolerance and discrimination. That is not the discrimination we are referring to.

136 - What is The Ageless Wisdom?
by Robert Constas
The Ageless Wisdom is the sum total of all the highest common denominators in all traditions, religions and teachings that serve the upliftment of the common good. It appreciates the wisdom and beauty in all traditions and in all areas of human endeavor, including politics, education, communication and philosophy, art, science, religion and economics.
The Ageless Wisdom is like a rainbow with many beautiful colors, pointing the way toward the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. From one viewpoint the rainbow curves all around the planet, embracing all people. From another perspective, it is a vertical column of many colors extending from the surface of the earth upward toward the Higher Worlds. The true pot of gold is located in the Higher Worlds.
It is a synthesis of wisdom and beauty, not a distorted syncretism. A syncretism is picking something from various traditions and gluing them together, like a human torso with a wolf’s head, elephant legs, monkey’s arms and a horse’s tail. A synthesis is like a well developed and graceful athlete or ballerina, with everything integrated and balanced, a beauty to behold. The Ageless Wisdom is internally consistent with a coherent logic that offers the most efficient and logical way to reconcile the paradoxes of the apparent contradictions in various traditions.
It is an attitude of inclusiveness, in contrast to some religious traditions that claim to be the only way to achieve our higher destiny. The Ageless Wisdom reveals how the One Light is expressed in the various religions. It shows how each color of the rainbow is a true light that penetrates the darkness and reveals the obstacles on the path to the greater Light, for each individual color can prevent stumbling in the dark. As one climbs higher up the vertical rainbow, the different colors become increasingly pastel, and towards the top they merge into a pure, white light.
It is that pure, complete white light that reveals the greatest gold, the fulfillment of our human spiritual destiny, the achievement of conscious immortality. And it is in the greatest Light that we feel an even greater destiny that can be revealed. But we cannot see it with human eyes as yet, and when we try to do so all that we can see is a brilliant darkness. Yet, we can feel into that dark brilliance and intuit through our heart the tremendous compassion, beauty and glory that is yet to be achieved beyond the human phase of our eternal journey.
The Ageless Wisdom teaches the path of our journey through Infinity regarding:
How to purify our nature;How to strive toward enlightenment;How to cooperate in working out the divine Plan;How to serve more efficiently in all constructive fields of endeavor;How to establish conscious relationships with Friends in the Higher Worlds;How to release the potential of the hidden glory, the Spark divine in all of us;How to see, hear and feel through our heart while retaining logic in our mind.

135 - I Am Satisfied - Poem by a student
I AM SATISFIED
In times of threat I welcome you to take my hands I welcome you to take my arms, my legs or my body As I need them no longer sooner or laterTake my wits as well As I only need wisdomTake all my possessions too As I long for detachment In that moment I am satisfiedBy realizing I exist in the eternal Which is bound by no space and time I am satisfied
A day of heat Evaporates all my desiresA day of rain Cleanses all my evil thoughtsA day of sleeplessness Brings me back to the moment That I should be grateful For the briefest moment of rest The briefest relief from this changing worldIn that moment I am satisfiedBy realizing I exist in the unchanging eternal Which is bound by no space and time I am satisfied ______________________________________
Brenda Soong is a student of meditation at TSG University currently studying “101 Stories from Agni Yoga”. This poem is part of her report for one of the lessons.______________________________________

134 - Teaching From Seven Levels
A person talks on the level where his consciousness is focused. When a Great One talks, He talks on seven levels. In contrast, a person � focused on one level talks only one-level talk, which means that what � he says is understood as it is given, although a multi-dimensional � person is able to see many dimensions in that talk if they exist. � And, when a multi-dimensional man talks, the talk has multi-dimensions, �which means you can translate his talk on as many levels as you are conscious on. For example, when a seven level man speaks about food, he means seven kinds of food which you eat physically, emotionally, mentally, and �so on to nourish your bodies. To feed the mental stomach, for instance, means to give knowledge. The spiritual stomach eats foods called wisdom, freedom, joy, bliss, and so on. Your inspiration, knowledge, and wisdom are as much food as the bread you give to others.
If a Teacher has three, four, or five levels, you feel them and you � feel satisfied. But if you have one level and no sensitivity, you �remain unconvinced and dissatisfied because your other levels do not � get any nourishment. Thus your conviction depends on how many levels �you have.Our voice reflects our state of consciousness. The voice of the Teacher reflects his levels or the planes on which his consciousness or awareness is active. It is mostly through the voice of the Teacher that we understand the deeper meanings of his words.

132 - The Source of Leadership
Real leaders...some thoughts from Torkom Saraydarian:
"To lead nations in this present and coming age requires an ability to contact a higher source of consciousness. Leadership comes from such a source. And the leader is guided from the depth of his soul to take those steps that will lead humanity to beauty, unity, and cooperative labor for all sentient beings."

133 - Psychology of the new age
What is the common good? Some thoughts from Torkom Saraydarian
"The important thing is to realize that in working for the Common Good you do not lose as an individual or as a group, but you gain and live a safer life on this planet. This is the psychology of the New Age. There is no new age that brings such a realization into our consciousness, but it is our consciousness that creates a new age through such a realization."

129 - Real Democracy
Some thoughts on democracy from Torkom Saraydarian:
"Chaos means that the elements of a greater whole are not in harmony with each other and are unaware of the central command. Unfortunately, people cannot understand that democracy does not mean anarchy. Real democracy can be achieved only after developing a sense of responsibility and group consciousness. A real democracy is a symphony in which every note has its right place, right freedom, right labor and rhythm."
