Helena Roerich

This is a book written in a time of great turmoil in the world. It isn't fiction, it is entirely factual, and is a collection of thoughts and teachings from one of the greatest Teachers who lived then, and lives still. To those not acquainted with the works of Helena Roerich, it's worth checking out biographical details via the Agni Yoga Society of New York, USA. She and her husband, the renowned painter and anthropologist Nicholas Roerich, along with their sons, travelled extensively across India and Tibet (as well as America). Their homeland was Russia, but they acted like world citizens, trying to serve humanity as best they were able. This book is but one in the series, dictated to Helena by the Master Morya, one of the highest adepts in the Trans-Himalayan Hierarchy, living high in the mountains in their 'stronghold of light'. Yes they were and are still, real human beings, though most ordinary folk would consider them quite 'superhuman', in terms of their vast consciousness, their astounding longevity, and their other powers, which they only ever use for the purposes of serving humanity. This book speaks of all things to do with heart, giving an esoteric insight and understanding to the topic, which no 'ordinary mortal' could reveal. It ranges all the way from aspects anent the physical organ of the heart, through to cosmological and 'other worldly' affects of heart energy. For this particular reader and long-time student, this book transformed and changed my life! It enabled me to come through deep crises, not only intact, but better than before. It offers guidance and enabled me to understand the essence of love -- real love – selfless love, and since then I have acted in this world with a lot more love and kindness to all and sundry, helping my fellow man, in various roles, as best I am able. The Alice Bailey teachings and these Agni Yoga teachings were, in effect, a continuation of the work of Helena Blavatsky {HPB of Theosophy} many years before, who likewise acted in accordance with the wishes of the Hierarchy / Masters of Wisdom. Please note: this book was written by one of the highest minds (and hearts!) possible, so it may take a little work to 'get the drift' of what the author is saying. Any deep change of consciousness isn't usually instant, but I strongly advise persevering, and you will reap, by your efforts inestimable value from so doing. This book is not written for idle (or idol!) amusement. Along with its sister volumes, it is written to change the course of humanity's decent into a deep morass. The other name for this series is 'The Teachings of Living Ethics', and as such, are all based on the timeless Ancient Wisdom teachings, handed down to humanity from records given to us at the very inception or birth of our race. If you would like to drink at the fountain of knowledge, from a wholly trustworthy source, then I would strongly recommend the Agni Yoga series of books, along with the works by 'AAB' (Alice A. Bailey) who, in like vein to Helena Roerich, acted as an amanuensis to Master Morya's 'brother' Teacher, Djwhal Khul, aka: 'The Tibetan' (see Lucis Trust Press for more on that topic. As a student of all things esoteric for the last 40 years or so, I would say these two sources are among those I would most recommend over all others. Footnote: the Agni Yoga Society's publications and info can be all trusted, but there are forgeries out there, -- so beware! Personally I would stay well away from anything bogus, such as the 'Summit Lighthouse' crew, who have been publishing works supposedly by the Eastern Masters, which [IMHO] are worse than useless -- (which is sad but true!) Bon voyage!
