which men needed.<\/span>\u00a0<i class=\"fa fa-quote-right\"><\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"lc-search-result\"><i class=\"fa fa-quote-left\"><\/i>\u00a0<span class=\"lc-search-result-prev\"> The sign for the Aquarian Age is that of a man, carrying on his shoulders a jar of water so full that it pours over to all and sundry, and yet it diminishes not. <\/span><span class=\"lc-search-result-current\">The sign for this <span class=\"lc-search-result-found\">Law of Service<\/span> is very similar, but the difference lies in this; that the man stands, perfectly balanced in the form of a cross, with arms stretched out and with the water pot upon his head. <\/span><span class=\"lc-search-result-next\">In this difference there lies much of real significance.<\/span>\u00a0<i class=\"fa fa-quote-right\"><\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"lc-search-result\"><i class=\"fa fa-quote-left\"><\/i>\u00a0<span class=\"lc-search-result-prev\"> The idea of service is, at this time, the major idea to be grasped for (in grasping it) we open ourselves wide to the new incoming influences. <\/span><span class=\"lc-search-result-current\">The <span class=\"lc-search-result-found\">Law of Service<\/span> is the expression of the energy of a great Life, who, in cooperation with Him &#8220;in Whom we live and move and have our being&#8221;, is subjecting the human family to certain influences and streams of energy which will eventually do three things:\u2014 1. <\/span><span class=\"lc-search-result-next\">Awaken the heart centre in all aspirants and disciples.<\/span>\u00a0<i class=\"fa fa-quote-right\"><\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"lc-search-result\"><i class=\"fa fa-quote-left\"><\/i>\u00a0<span class=\"lc-search-result-prev\"> Simply because the life, words and deeds of the worlds first Great Server, of the One Who came to make clear to us what service essentially is, has necessarily had an effect, and men today are earnestly attempting to imitate His example, little realising that imitation does not net them the true results, but only indicates to them a growing possibility. <\/span><span class=\"lc-search-result-current\">All these laws of the Soul (and the <span class=\"lc-search-result-found\">Law of Service<\/span> is no exception) manifest inevitably in two ways. <\/span><span class=\"lc-search-result-next\">First, there is their effect upon the individual.<\/span>\u00a0<i class=\"fa fa-quote-right\"><\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"lc-search-result\"><i class=\"fa fa-quote-left\"><\/i>\u00a0<span class=\"lc-search-result-prev\"> When the rhythm of this law has been imposed and the natural impetus of the man in incarnation is to be an expression of the soul, and when this rhythm can be established as a natural daily expression, the man begins to &#8220;stand in spiritual being&#8221; and the life which pours through him, gently and naturally, will then have an effect upon his environment and his associates. <\/span><span class=\"lc-search-result-current\">This effect can then be called a &#8220;life of service &#8221; Too much emphasis has been laid upon the process whereby the lower nature is to be subjugated to the higher <span class=\"lc-search-result-found\">Law of Service<\/span>, and the idea of sacrifice, in its worst implications, has been developed. <\/span><span class=\"lc-search-result-next\">This idea emphasises the necessary and inevitable clashing between the lower nature, working under its own laws, and the higher aspects as they work under the spiritual laws.<\/span>\u00a0<i class=\"fa fa-quote-right\"><\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"lc-search-result\"><i class=\"fa fa-quote-left\"><\/i>\u00a0<span class=\"lc-search-result-prev\"> The mind element is too active. <\/span><span class=\"lc-search-result-current\">When the personal lower self is subordinated to the higher rhythms and obedient to the new <span class=\"lc-search-result-found\">Law of Service<\/span>, then the life of the soul will begin to flow through the man to others, and the effect in a man&#8217;s immediate family and group will be to demonstrate a real understanding and a true helpfulness. <\/span><span class=\"lc-search-result-next\">As the flow of life becomes stronger through use, the effect will spread out from the small surrounding family group to the neighborhood.<\/span>\u00a0<i class=\"fa fa-quote-right\"><\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"lc-search-result\"><i class=\"fa fa-quote-left\"><\/i>\u00a0<span class=\"lc-search-result-prev\"> As the flow of life becomes stronger through use, the effect will spread out from the small surrounding family group to the neighborhood. <\/span><span class=\"lc-search-result-current\">A wider range of contacts becomes possible, until eventually (if several lives have been thus spent under the influence of the <span class=\"lc-search-result-found\">Law of Service<\/span>) the effect of the outpouring life may become nationwide and worldwide. <\/span><span class=\"lc-search-result-next\">But it will not be planned, nor will it be fought for, as an end in itself.<\/span>\u00a0<i class=\"fa fa-quote-right\"><\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"lc-search-result\"><i class=\"fa fa-quote-left\"><\/i>\u00a0<span class=\"lc-search-result-prev\"> They are the platitudes of the spiritual life, and constitute the battleground, or the Kurukshetra of most aspirants. <\/span><span class=\"lc-search-result-current\">We are here concerned with those qualities which will emerge when a man is working under the impulse of the <span class=\"lc-search-result-found\">Law of Service<\/span>. <\/span><span class=\"lc-search-result-next\">They will appear when he is a real channel for the life of the soul.<\/span>\u00a0<i class=\"fa fa-quote-right\"><\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"lc-search-result\"><i class=\"fa fa-quote-left\"><\/i>\u00a0<span class=\"lc-search-result-prev\"> You will note that I do not say &#8220;will not hurt any individual. <\/span><span class=\"lc-search-result-current\">&#8221; Those working under the <span class=\"lc-search-result-found\">Law of Service<\/span> need no reminder not to hurt any individual. <\/span><span class=\"lc-search-result-next\">They often need, under the exuberance of spiritual stimulation and the intensity of their aspiration, to be reminded to demonstrate group harmlessness.<\/span>\u00a0<i class=\"fa fa-quote-right\"><\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"lc-search-result\"><i class=\"fa fa-quote-left\"><\/i>\u00a0<span class=\"lc-search-result-prev\"> One point might here be made clear. <\/span><span class=\"lc-search-result-current\">The task of those who are working under the <span class=\"lc-search-result-found\">Law of Service<\/span> is not exerted primarily with that group in the world today which is working under the effect of that general response to which we earlier referred. <\/span><span class=\"lc-search-result-next\">These effects are easily shepherded into those activities which, en masse, work out as philanthropic endeavor, as educational experiments, or social efforts in the life of the community.<\/span>\u00a0<i class=\"fa fa-quote-right\"><\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"lc-search-results-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lucistrust.org\/online_books\/esoteric_psychology_volume_ii\/chapter_the_egoic_ray\/ii_the_seven_laws_soul_or_group_life_part2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Esoteric Psychology &#8211;
