GLAMOUR: A WORLD PROBLEM

1,300.00

World glamour–the sumtotal of human ignorance, fear and greed–can dissipate through the clear, inclusive thinking of those in whom the soul (Christ) principle is awakening. Glamour results from a negative emotional focus; the dissipation of glamour depends on “illumined thinking”.

This teaching on world glamour, its causes and cures, is one of the specialised subjects first given to the group whose personal instructions appear in the two volumes of “Discipleship in the New Age”.  The idea that a small group of dedicated aspirants could work together to help dissipate the heavy enshrouding glamours which oppress humanity and deflect the light of truth, was initially quite a startling one.  Spiritual progress has for so long held no meaning for the individual other than his own personal growth, that to consider spiritual experience in direct relation to world conditions is for many a revolutionary idea.  Nevertheless world glamour–the sum total of human ignorance, fear and greed–can only yield to the enlightened penetration of those in whom these emotional reactions have been transcended in whole or in part.

Glamour is, of course, the result of a negative emotional focus; just as illusion results from a negative or unclear attitude of mind out of touch with the reality behind the outer appearance; so a man becomes the victim of strong self-created thought-forms built on personality forces and self-interest.

This book deals with the misconceptions existing on all levels of the personality life–maya on the etheric level; glamour on the emotional plane; and illusion on the mental plane; climaxing in the sum total of all three combined in the personality–the so-called dweller on the threshold.
