“The Students who work with the Masters are not chosen for their personality, but for their LIGHT! A certain intensity of LIGHT, a certain wideness of the sphere of influence covered by their radiation, is required by the Cosmic Law before more than ordinary personal assistance can be given. Therefore, it is evident that individuals who are blessed by the association with the Masters have already a tremendous expansion of their LIGHT, and the association made is to use their sphere of influence as conductors for the Master’s Consciousness, Plans, Presence and Powers.”

Beloved Maha Chohan said in a dictation March 17th, 1957: “As you have seen the fireflies glow in the dark, and have enjoyed the beauty of their radiance, you can grasp a picture of how the mankind of Earth looks to the inner eye of the Brotherhood, except that the uniformity of Light is nowhere near as exact as that of the small Light in the insect. However, in one glance, the Master can look at the entire ten billion members of the race, incarnate and disincarnate, and from his cosmic consciousness, hold them all within a span similar to about an eighteen-inch board held before the physical eye. The amount of Light within the Life-Stream distinguishes one from another, and it is by the size of the periphery of that Light that the Master makes his judgment as to what particular service and cooperation can be fitted between the Hierarchy and the human being who represents those that are to be helped to FREEDOM!” Bridge to Freedom
