              For this glamor there are some age-old rules: Contact the  greater Self through the medium of the higher Self and thus lose sight of the  little self, its reactions, its desires, and intentions. Or: The pure love of  the soul which is not personalized in any way and which seeks no recognition  can then pour into the world of glamor which surrounds the devotee, and the  mists of his devotion (upon which he prides himself) will melt away. |

              Fifth ray people suffer the least from glamor but are  primarily the victims of illusion, and for them the Technique of the Presence  is all-important because it brings in a factor which the true fifth ray person  is apt to negate and refuse to admit, the fact of the Higher Self. He feels  self-sufficient. They respond so easily and with such satisfaction to the power  of thought; pride in their mental competence is their besetting sin and they  are, therefore, set in their purposes and preoccupied with the world of the  concrete and the intellectual. |

            We will now assume that the aspirant is aware of the need  for him to establish a new and higher rhythm in his physical plane life, to  organize his time in obedience to the injunction of his higher self, and to  produce, consciously and scientifically, those effects which - in his highest  moments - are presented to him as desirable. |
