<blockquote>God needs man and man needs God. This is the law of the hallowed circle of the [[AUM]]. And when you find yourself standing in that circle, ever-widening, that is formed for the final release of the [[Lord of the World]] to the devotees at the conclusion of a conference, you will know that all that I have told you is indeed true; and by the thread of contact with hierarchy which you have established, your life will never be the same.<ref>{{CAP}}, chapter 10.</ref></blockquote> | <blockquote>God needs man and man needs God.

The [[Angel Deva of the Jade Temple]] has spoken of the importance of our conferences: | |||
<blockquote>In each and every conference we have the roster of all who have ever attended a conference and all who have received the invitation or the announcement of the conference. And we go to the [[Keeper of the Scrolls]], and there is released a scroll stating what opportunities and [[initiation]]s are available to each disciple on the Way through the dictations and the blessings and the initiations given at that conference.</blockquote> | |||
<blockquote>First and foremost, the initiation of getting to the conference is important. For if the chelas do not arrive, they do not receive the direct contact. And if they were not able to overcome the opposition to their attendance, then that shows that they are not ready to receive the next increment of light. I assure you that without fail, each devotee who attends each conference is given the opportunity for the next step of initiation.</blockquote> | |||
<blockquote>Initiation is not a violent action. It is not abrupt. It is a flow. It is not a sudden staircase. It is a spiral—a spiral you can walk, a spiral that enables you to rise day by day, to ascend daily....</blockquote> | |||
<blockquote>And so we also have with us the scroll for each one of you who is here, each one without exception. And it is written thereon what increment of light you are able to receive from each of the dictations that are given, and in which of your chakras....</blockquote> | |||
<blockquote>Understand, then, that initiation is ongoing. Initiation is the application of the Law. It is participation in the conferences, which are for the turning of the cycles of planetary as well as personal cycles. And therefore see that when you participate in the conference you become a carrier of the light that is for the initiation of the evolutions and the lifewaves of Terra. Understand, then, that it is important to be at the right place at the right time for the right dispensations to occur.<ref>Angel Deva of the Jade Temple, December 29, 1975.</ref></blockquote> | |||

<blockquote>And therefore, we have urged you to be with us. And we urge you again and again not to miss these quarterly conferences, not any hour or any day—whether you think it is important or no, or whether you think you have other business or other things to tend to. For we cannot build a consecutive spiral within you when you pick and choose and come and go and do not tarry in that flame.</blockquote> | <blockquote>And therefore, we have urged you to be with us.
