Translations:Winter solstice/7/en

In times past the light that was released to the earth was wasted by a majority of the people. Most people took the fresh new light—the new wine of the Spirit—and put it into the old bottles of their human consciousness. So at least nine-tenths of the light immediately went into the old patterns. In recent years, with the spiritual revival that has taken place on the planet—starting with the founding of the Theosophical Society in 1875 and continuing to the present—devotees of the Masters have been better able to receive and absorb the light that is released.
