We were conversing on the subject of modem science. One brother spoke with much enthusiasm about the wonderful achievements of the biological sciences, physics, chemistry and technology.

The Master explained:

"We are only beginning to make use of Divine Science. From this time forward, we will begin to apply its Laws. Man will learn how to free himself of his mental and emotional weaknesses that he may develop an illuminated mind, a pure heart and a will as hard as diamonds.

"Science is a manifestation of the human spirit. The science of today will vanish: only those things which provide the greatest benefit will remain of it. Everything else which we have busied ourselves with as little children will be gone forever. Do you believe that the Angels occupy themselves with the modem laws? Do you believe that chemistry and physics will remain at their present level?

"Do other Laws exist in addition to the natural laws? Indeed, other Laws exist which have not yet been discovered. Today's science is based entirely upon the material. A man stands next to a wall and tells you, 'There is nothing behind this wall.' Not so. Behind this wall, many wondrous things exist. Just because one cannot see them does not mean that they do not exist.

"Modern science is merely an introduction to Real Science. The Real Science is not in opposition to the authority of the science of today and contemporary scientists. Contemporary science provides the data which enables the rational mind to evolve. The rational mind must evolve, and it cannot do so without this data.

"Man's knowledge is limited: it only relates to the material world. Modern science is concerned with the study of minerals, plants, animals and so on. I do not disregard this science, but a new Science with a new Knowledge is now coming into the world.

"When man is lacking in Knowledge and is focusing his attention on the outer appearance, he only sees how the book is bound. And yet, the disciple should direct his attention to that which is written within. Real Knowledge is not to be found in the forms, but in the understanding of its Laws.

"Some knowledge is required for the human existence; other knowledge is as an adornment to this existence; yet another is the Blessing which gives power and vitality to man.

"Man should complete his human studies in order that he might enroll in the Divine School. When I speak of Divine Science, I am referring to that Science which studies the Essence of Life. The Purpose of Divine Science can be stated as follows: to study the Supreme Intelligence manifested in Life; the external and internal conditions of Life; and the living evolution. The one who is fearful cannot be a student of Divine Science. For this, courage is required.

"Divine Science is alive. The words 'Divine Science' refer to that Community of Intelligent Beings who have attained Real Knowledge. You need to learn how to commune with them. And then you will accomplish something for them, and they will do something for you in return. Each day I meet and commune with these Beings.

"Why does man need science? In addition to its applications in the physical existence, it develops a person's capabilities and shapes the human head as well. By examining a person's cranium, one can determine which science he has occupied himself with predominantly.

"Divine Science offers the ways in which the body can be made healthy and strong; the thoughts and feelings may be restructured; and the nervous system fortified. This can be applied to the individual and the entire nation as well. Occupy yourselves with Divine Science and its methods that you may comprehend them and apply them in your daily life.

"Great Knowledge awaits you in the future. Today's knowledge is beneficial as well. And yet, man is a student who must progress from one level to the next: from the one of the present to the one of the future. I have not yet spoken of this Science, because it must not be contaminated: Divine Science is only for those souls who know real Love.

"The technology of today is very limited, unlike that of the people of Agartha 60, 000 years ago. The vehicles with which they traveled through the air were called 'dragons of fire'. This technology, however, was available to only a few. In contrast, the technology of today is made available to all of humankind.

"It is not possible to comprehend the material world if you are not connected with the Ideal World: in other words, one must be connected with God.

"Man must strive for right understanding which Divine Science provides.

"The adepts of old made use of a magic staff which they would carry in their hands. However, real adepts carry no staffs.

"There exists a science for children; the Science for the Angels; and that Science which belongs to God. Someone tells you that he knows something. I rejoice for him, but his knowledge is only of the material. Do you understand the Science of the Angels? You will study the Science of the Angels in the future. Do you understand Divine Science? I do not begin with the Science of Angels. I do not begin with the Science of the saints. I begin at the Summit with that Science which belongs to God. This is the most intelligent of all the methods which is why I begin with that Science which is the most complex.

"Divine Science is required that man may study the art of living. However, this does not mean that one must neglect his study of the material world. Everyone on the spiritual path must be knowledgeable of mathematics, anatomy, physics, music and so on. These are the introductions to the Divine Science. Study the material world. After you comprehend it, you will begin to perceive the Divine as well.

"A person's level of development is determined by his status in the experiential school of the material world. When man begins to master the conditions of the material world - this indicates that he has begun to master those of the Divine World as well. His knowledge of the Divine determines the level at which he will work in the material.

"You have come to earth to study in the experiential school, and now you are being tested. A professor explains a problem to you. You tell him, 'I understand.' You have not understood. You must solve this problem on your own. A person is able to understand only when he solves the problem by himself. In the natural world, only that which you solve on your own leads to knowledge. The remainder is only a helping tool."
