DAILY BREAD

These morsels of sacred bread have been gleaned from lavish feasts
served to the Temple of the People over many years.

It is hoped that the reader will find herein nourishment for body, mind
and spirit.

1
 ASK EACH DAY

Thou who knowest that all life is ever ceaseless pulsing motion!

Thou who knowest that the sun must riser and set each day, and that
every heart is in perfect time and rhythm!

Thou who knowest that the food of yesterday will not sustain thy
body for the morrow’s toil!

Thinkest thou the cyclic law, immutable, will be repealed for thee,
in that each day will bring thee nourishment for soul, unasked for and
unsought by thee, or asked amiss?

Ah, No! A full supply of Christly bread awaits thine asking, but
thou must ask each day, and ask in faith, or suffer, in the Soul as now
thy body suffers from the lack of food when thou dost not provide..

 FOREWORD

From The beginning to its end the manifestation of the Christ Life
in form (the Universal Soul) is a perpetual sacrifice, as is the life of all in
whom that principle is most active. It is born of its Mother-Love and
with her holds the scale of justice in the light of self-sacrifice.

Gates of all the Mysteries of Being, but Wisdom alone has power to use
that Key.

incomplete without you. No one can take your place.
Karma, T.P.

5. Aspiration is true worship, the opening of the soul that the love of the
Infinite may flow in.
T.T. 1st S., 88

6. One never finds outside himself what is not within, and as long as
there is a wrong to be righted, a sufferer to be healed and comforted, a
child to be taught, or in wider terms, any string of the harp of brotherly
love to be attuned to the vibration of Universal Love, lying right at your
door, in the midst of your own family or your own social circle, your
individual duty is right there.
B.T. 67

on your own mental and soul feet and realize that no other can grow for
you, no other can live for you, no other can eat for you.

11. No human being, no angel, no god, can open your blinded eyes to
the glories of that heaven, the gate of which lies hidden in your own

just so long must you remain a wanderer on the outskirts of the White
City of your own Divinity.
T.T. 2nd S., 58

has ever been but on way; Jesus of Nasareth voiced that way in the
Golden Rule.

WISDOM

In the depths of every living soul there resides a sense of abstract

justice and a feeling of abhorrence toward its opposite, or what is
commonly termed injustice, due to the operation of two poles of one
inherent quality or state of substance which manifests as Wisdom.

13
 March
Wisdom

1. Would you see and know the Light? Would you find and hold the
Path? Then seek within.
R.F. 3, (8). Morya

2. To the pure heart, all things in heaven and earth are pure; and if
thine heart be pure, the cup of wine will overflow and turn to streams of
light while still within thy grasp, carrying life and healing on their waves
far down the distant centuries of time.
M.T. I , 42

3. Only when thou hast gained the guerdon of true humility canst thou
stand erect in safety – for then only hast thou power to don the Armor of
self protection – the Armor of Compassion.
M.T. I , 42

4. Become one with the Law.

M.T. I , 17

5. The Chela must rise or fall with his Master, and the first great reality
that dawns upon his awakening consciousness is recognition of his
kinship to – his oneness with – that Master; and having once recognized,
he cannot repudiate Him; his duty, his pleasure, his very life, is bound
up with that of the Master.

6. Nature furnishes to each of her kingdoms a perfect form, and

correspondingly perfect principles of government. Only so far as man
has observed and followed that form, and embodied those principles in a
constitution, has been his measure of success in the creating of a
righteous government, whether of church or state.
T.T. I, 64

7. The first lesson as well as the last, the Alpha and Omega of
Occultism, is Selflessness; and exoteric Selfishness – its opposite – is the
fundamental cause of your non-attainment of power, and inability to
exercise such necessary qualifications of Selflessness as helpfulness and
sympathy, where your younger Brother’s development and interests are
concerned.
T.T. I, 57

8. Man cannot outstrip the laws of his being, and every effort at so doing
causes him to retrace his steps, and as it were, to stop and pick up those
stitches in his part of the web of life that he had inadvertently dropped.
T.T. I, 243

14
 March-cont.

9. Humanity does not gain in power and knowledge by retreat, but by

advance.
T.T. I, 223

10. One of the basic laws of spirit as well as of matter decrees that like
shall seek like. The evolution of concrete form demands obedience to
this law.
T.T. I, 309
11. Universal Law cannot be broken or ignored without bringing
corresponding suffering upon the breaker of those Laws.
T.T.I, 299

12. Everything in manifestation has a heart, or corresponding center,

on an inner plane of the highest order. All heart centers of
Consciousness are in degree of awareness by all creatures with the
oneness with God.
Inner Planes, H.E.F.

13. Law and Love are synonymous terms; therefore in obedience, Love
fulfills all Law.
T.T. I, 75

14. God cannot be safely mocked or set at aught, for God is Love.

15. Change is dependent upon motion and every mode of motion is

incited by Spiritual entities.
T.T. I, 346

16. The highest power is only won by renunciation. Renounce with thy
whole heart – love with thy whole heart - work with thy whole heart, and
all things in heaven and earth are thine.
T.T. I, 52

17. Until man can learn to dwell with his brothers in peace and unity
upon earth, it is absolutely impossible for him to dwell with God in that
conscious at-one-ment which constitutes perfection.
T.T. I, 40

18. The sun shines on everyone, everywhere. Man is shaded by his own
acts.
To Tell the Truth, H.E.F.

15
 March-cont.

19. The harmony of the universe is not impeded by man’s learning

process.
H.E.F.

20. Your present right or wrong doing, success or failure, come from
your actions in previous lifetimes, depending on whether or not you have
lived according to the Golden Rule.
Karma, H.E.F.

21. The first effort of a true disciple should be directed to the task of
purifying and making of his human nature a perfect mirror, wherein may
be reflected the Divine Light of the triune God; and this process can only
be completed by one analogous to that of the making of a material
mirror.
T.T.II, 34

22. As the heart is the center of life in the man, it follows that the whole
man must be pure if the heart is pure.
T.T.II, 21

23. Therefore to know, to understand, to attain to knowledge of our

innate Divinity; to walk and to be identified with the Masters of Life; and
finally, to become one with the Father in Heaven, the One on the Throne,
and to be able, individually, to break the seals of the Book of Life – and to
understand – we must follow the Law of Sacrifice.
O.B. 2.5. VI

24. When a man is in universal sympathy with the world, he can enter
into the life and condition of every plant, animal and human creature
ascending and descending along the scale of being; he loses to a great
extent his feeling of personality, and begins to live in reality and to know
what true Liberty is.
T.T. II, 8

25. The hand of the Creator is upon us; the loose strings of our human
nature are being stretched and tuned.
B.F. 37

16
 March-cont.

26. There are sterile bits of bleak wilderness in almost all lives.
Sometimes we pass them in youth, sometimes later in life, but pass them
at one time or another we all must, and with parched lips and weary
limbs. But thanks be to God for the oasis on the other side of each
barren stretch, and for the waters of life that renew our strength for
another trial.
B.F. 34

27. “Man must make his Heaven, if he would dwell therein; and he can
only make it as he worketh day by day with Me, apart from all, yet one
with all.” Thus spoke the Christ.
T.T. (on a card)

28. Every soul of every man is its own savior in one respect, namely by
compelling its own obedience in Law.
H.E.F.

29. A grateful Soul unconsciously vibrates the higher forces and brings
into action the laws that fulfill his unselfish desires in whatever line of
constructive endeavor he may function.
T.A. A-J 1974, P.F.D.

30. Each day brings you its simplest duties. Do not forfeit them.
Masters Message, 1979

31. The Law of Brotherhood is the Law of evolution. We can only choose
whether we want to obey it or disobey it.

the yearly cycle past, the gems of rich experience, good or ill, and then

good – Light.
T.T. I, 297

16. Love washes out all bitterness, all fear and hate, and makes a place
of peace where once was only strife.
M.T. I, 171

17. Nature does not work by tremendous jumps from one state of life to
another. True growth is slow growth; and character of great crises or
climaxes in the past is a good criterion for judging the character of those
to come.
T.T. I, 409

18. Remember, sacrifice is the law of all life and progress.

T.T. I, 347

M.T. II, 84

fellow man in his divinely appointed task of regeneration; and in that
loving and serving do you truly find your own redemption in God and the
Christ.
M.T. II, 130

25. As gushes forth the spring of water over the thirsty soil, heedless of
where its drops may fall, delighted, reveling in its power to give - even to
the uttermost - so gushes from the heart of the child of love, pure
gratitude.

unworthiness and weakness - man is still worth serving.

Master’s Message 1937

30. Remember that the touch of a loving hand, the low soft word of f
sympathy, condolence and compassion spoken by your brother or sister
in your need, is a touch by the hand of God, the voice of an all powerful
servitor, comforter and coadjutor; that the love welling up in your hearts
unselfishly, is, as it were, the Breath of God outbreathed by yourselves.

3. Ah, my child, again I say you need not concern yourself with the
results of any righteous act.
T.T. I, 350

4. There is not a cubit’s width of void space in the Universe. The Ocean

T.T. I, 167

10. But the wise man also knows that back of every tide, every
movement of sun, stars and planets, every cycle of manifestation, is a
Supreme Power which governs all, a Power which operates at the center
of all things – the place of peace – the point where motion ceases and
unity reigns, and that he must be aligned to that Power if he would
succeed. T.T.I, 331

11. The wisdom of the ages is compressed in the words spoken by

Jesus, “Not my will, but Thine be done.” It is only prayers preceded by
that sentence and winged by an unselfish love, that asks only to love, not
for love, that Omnipresence can answer.
T.T. I, 52

12. Only pure spirit is invulnerable, incorruptible. However slight its

encasement, or contact with matter, a condition comparable to an alloy
of gold and lead exists from the union of matter and spirit. In the former
instance, the gold may be separated by means of fire; in the latter
instance, Spirit may be separated from matter by means of suffering
which constitutes one aspect of experience.

without Heat – the analogue of Compassion.

5. Life’s opportunities, like angels visitants, pass swiftly, silently – and if

we fail to catch the first faint echo of their coming footfalls or, all

11. Man is a microcosm, a little universe in himself, and has actually or

potentially represented in him all the forces of nature.
Basic Principles of B

12. Love is the most potent form of energy in the Universe, and he who
has won the power to control it, has at his command all lesser forms of
force; but it is that form of Love that gives all instead of that which takes
all; for, paradoxical as it seems, and difficult to comprehend,
renunciation is equivalent to possession.
T.T. 111

13. Spirit and Matter are two poles of Universal Consciousness, and all
the intermediate stages between these poles are the battle-grounds and
laboratories where countless Souls – Sparks of the Infinite Fire – win or
loose the right to eternal individual conscious life; and where
transmutation of gross matter into precious Spiritual Energy is carried
on through each great cycle of Time.
T.T. 33

14. The nearest we can come to a comprehension of Intelligence as an

element is to study its manifestation as Oxygen.
T.T. 282

15. What matters it what name you give it, whether it be God, Love,
Attraction, Gravitation, Law, or Life? It is all names in one name, all
words in one word.
T.T. 82

16. The three higher of the seven planes of manifestation are

incomprehensible and eternal so far as any possible computation of time
or exercise of mentality by a human being is concerned; so in trying to
understand the planes, states of consciousness, laws and all that
pertains to them, you will save much valuable time and mental force by
confining your efforts to the study of the four lower – the reflected planes,
for some time to come.
T.T. 165

17. Words are but symbols, which change and pass away, while
knowledge is eternal, and words must be vitalized, impregnated with
pranic force, to give them even temporary endurance; and this can only
be done in concentration. It is in the parturition pains of concentration
that the power of perception is born – or, to be a little more exact, is
transferred from the spiritual to the mental plane.

18. If you refuse to learn the alphabet of life, you can never understand
or speak the language.
T.T. 119

19. All Matter and Substance is septenary, and each of its states is
graduated in seven degrees of density, and each state reflects the
qualities and potencies of some one of the seven major divisions or Rays
of the Infinite.
T.T. 106

20. The language of God is the natural and divine Word made Manifest
in terms of worlds, creatures and things on all planes and in all fields of
cosmic – celestial and terrestrial – activity. All these creatures, worlds
and things are but Symbols of a reality in Absolute Being. Therefore
Symbolism is the language of the Higher Self.

solar system, it is dwarfed into apparent insignificance by the true light,
that which was sent to lighten the Cosmos, the Son-Sun, the first and
the last.
T.T. 2nd Series 26

24. There is no true growth without sacrifice either of soul or body, or of

any growing thing in nature. In other words, Life and Light cannot
manifest without the sacrifice – yielding up – or changing one substance
into another.

wonderful eyes and permits him to look into their depths, to touch, taste

of every fact, and which light can only be known by actual identification

T.T. I 255

8. The term faith has been made interchangeable with the term belief,
while in fact they are two poles of one potent force. Belief is lost in faith.
T.T. I, 255

9. Lack of faith in the eternal fitness of things, and in Divine Justice,

desire to escape the results of action, and above all, impatience with

the I Was of our passing Self, and the I Come of the Newly Manifesting

T.T. I, 39

15. There is nothing, not an atom in all the Cosmos brought into
manifestation by and through eternal Law that is unworthy the serious,
reverent consideration of the mind of man; and when it comes to the
study and examination of those eternal Laws which are all but intelligible
and indescribable save by correspondence and analogy, the soul bows in
true humility, whatever the limited mind dares to express.
