Often we don’t realize how much doing our spiritual practices can benefit others and the world as a whole. This was certainly the case in 1976, even when members of The Aetherius Society had Dr. George King in front of them as a living example.
Dr. King asked the congregation then—in the last hour of the Spiritual Push—how many people had practiced mantra every day during the Emergency Period. Almost nobody had. This limited their potential to serve as channels for spiritual energy sent through them by cosmic intelligences.
Dr. King was extremely disappointed and felt personally let down. He stressed the importance of doing the practices at home for spiritual growth and urged members to take their spiritual obligations seriously. He warned that missed opportunities not only hinder personal progress but also weaken the group’s collective ability to send out healing energy during global crises.
