In the course of the year, usually in the spring at graduation time, in June, or at the time of the meeting of the [[Lords of Karma]] at summer solstice and at winter solstice at the [[Royal Teton Retreat]], '''final exams''' are given to all [[chela]]s—very specific tests to be passed, usually on the very element that has held them back. Unfortunately, many chelas do fail their tests and do not expect to be tested. And [[El Morya]] has said to them time and again, “You have a right to be tested, to prove your mettle. You have a right to pass your tests. And we have a right to expect our chelas to come up higher.” | In the course of the year, usually in the spring at graduation time, in June, or at the time of the meeting of the [[Lords of Karma]] at summer solstice and at [[winter solstice]] at the [[Royal Teton Retreat]], '''final exams''' are given to all [[chela]]s—very specific tests to be passed, usually on the very element that has held them back.

Sometimes people forget that each year every [[lightbearer]], every [[Keeper of the Flame]] and perhaps everyone on the planet has his final exam for the year at summer solstice. This may take place in the month or six weeks before solstice, even up to the very day of the solstice. | Sometimes people forget that each year every [[lightbearer]], every [[Keeper of the Flame]] and perhaps everyone on the planet has his final exam for the year at summer solstice.

Tests passed mean we go on to a new level. We should be on a spiral, mounting that spiral to our [[I AM Presence]]. But if we fail too many tests or if we have dug in our heels and said, “I will not change on this point and I refuse to grow,” then we find that we are no longer on a spiral. We are on a treadmill. And we’re lucky if we are on the same level each year, because to be at the same place is really to go backwards. Pretty soon you can’t hold the same place because you have no momentum and no acceleration, so you start decelerating. | Tests passed mean we go on to a new level.

The real law of growth in the universe is this: Either accelerate or decelerate. You may choose to stay in the same place but that’s wishful thinking. It doesn’t happen. With El Morya, change is the order of the day. Change is acceleration. Change is [[alchemy]]. It is the [[violet flame]]. | The real law of growth in the universe is this: Either accelerate or decelerate. You may choose to stay in the same place but that’s wishful thinking. It doesn’t happen.
