If all the knowledge acquired over the years by physicists, chemists and astronomers of the past had not been passed down, where would research be today? Imagine if a chemist had first to discover the composition of water before he could set to work on his own research project ... We are fortunate enough to have a patrimony in the intellectual and physical spheres which we recognize, but we forget the patrimony we have received in the spiritual world. We are nothing without the patrimony left to us by the initiates and great masters. Without them, we can only take faltering steps. What can we achieve, by ourselves, relying only on our own - so-limited - experience and our own - inadequate - efforts? Nothing, because we are weak and blind. We must therefore learn to rely on beings who are above us, the great masters of truth, and unite with them so that they may communicate to us their - inconceivably extensive - experience. Through them we will be united with the truth, with Christ, with God Himself.
