Confusion
In the hour of confusion silence is the best friend. But let this quiet be not the stillness of malice. Though only momentarily, let the rhythm of the heart calm down. Let there be found again the quiet of psychic energy; thus will be
strengthened the work of the centers—alight, but without inflammation.
(BR, 73)
“The city has been fully fortified, its walls and towers are strong, at each gate stands a sentry—no enemy can penetrate into the stronghold. However, sentinels, be wary, be not confounded by the arrows of the enemy. The arrows have been devised with special inscriptions for the purpose of distracting the attention of those on watch. The inscriptions are to allure the sentries, so that their minds will be confused and the gates will be left defenseless.” Thus was described in a certain Mystery the state of psychic energy during the confusion of the spirit. ...
Often in the Mysteries, symbols cautioning against harmful confusion were employed. One may augment strongly the psychic energy, but even the small confusion can open the gates to the most dangerous enemy. In an hour of consternation one must know how to evoke even a momentary calm. Such calmness and but one breath of prana will provide a strong shield. (BR, 74)
