Building the Community of the Holy Spirit

Community challenges us to master the interaction of spiritual-material energies. The concept of a community that stretches worldwide is antahkarana, or the web of life. Wherever the chelas are, the community exists, but unless the chelas and the guru are together in one place, there is not a duplicate of the Great Central Sun Magnet to hold the balance for the earth.

In the upcoming weeks, we will explore the idea of community, specifically the idea of a community of the Holy Spirit where people of like minds and hearts work to live together for the advancement of the individual and the community as a whole. Have you ever thought about community, and what it really means? Do you feel that you are connected to your community? Is your community just the people in your home? or your immediate family? Or does it include the people in your neighborhood? Who exactly is your community?

As we ponder these questions, we will explore the book “Community: A Journey to the Heart of Spiritual Community” which is a commentary by Elizabeth Clare Prophet on the book “New Era Community” written by the master El Morya and published by the Agni Yoga Society in 1951.
