ALICE A BAILEY01 THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE ATOM

derstand the truth, apart from the reasoning faculty altogether; this inner god can enable the man to speak, to write, and to pass on the truth without the use of the lower mind. truth lies within ourselves. when we can contact our own inner god all truth will be revealed to us. we shall be knowers. but this is a positive, not a negative thing, and means the putting of oneself in direct conscious alignment with one's ego, or higher self, and not the throwing open of one's personality to any passing entity or spook. this can be seen occurring now, occasionally, but it is not very often that the average man comes in contact with his higher self. only in our moments of highest endeavour, only at the great crises of our lives, and only as the result of long discipline and strenuous meditation

unite with them in service for the race. this recognition will be based upon: a. unity of aim. b. oneness of vibration. c. identity in group affiliation. d. karmic links of long standing. e. ability to work in harmonious relation. superficially, this may appear one of the easiest of the rules, but in practice it is not so. mistakes are easily made, and the problem of working harmoniously in group alignment is not so simple as it may appear. egoic vibration and relationship may exist, yet the outer personalities may not harmonize. it is the work, then, of the applicant to strengthen the grip of his ego upon his personality, so that the esoteric group relation may become possible upon the physical plane. he will do this by the disciplining of his own personality, and not by the correction of

ut must be allowed to function with greater freedom, and with less restriction. now, owing to centuries of wrong living, and to basic mistakes (originating in lemurian days) man's three pranic centres are not in good working order. the centre between the shoulder blades is in the best receptive condition, though owing to the poor condition of the spinal column (which in so many is out of accurate alignment, its position in the back is apt to be misplaced. the splenic centre near the diaphragm is sub-normal in size and its vibration is not correct. in the case of the aboriginal dwellers in such localities as the south seas, better etheric conditions will be found; the life they lead is more normal (from the animal standpoint) than in any other portion of the world. the race suffers from cer

nd initiation we have dealt briefly with the evolution of the centres, with their function, their organisation and their gradually increasing activity from a point of comparative inertia until they are consummated motion. then they become living wheels of flame, distinguished by a dual motion of the periphery and the inner revolving wheels, and by a fourth-dimensional effect, due primarily to the alignment of the inner subtler vortices with the comparatively exoteric etheric centres. this alignment is brought about eventually at initiation. at the time that initiation is taken, the centres are all active and the lower four (which correspond to the personality) are beginning the process of translating the fire into the three higher. the dual revolution in the lower centres is clearly to be

s can be distinguished in importance from the four lower. the key is hidden in the fact that between the number of a globe in a chain and its corresponding chain lies a method of communication. the same is true likewise of the correspondence between a chain of globes and a scheme of analogous number. the connection between venus and the earth lies hid in number, and it took a moment of mysterious alignment between a globe, its corresponding chain and the scheme of allied number to effect the momentous occurrence known as the coming of the lords of flame. it occurred in the third rootrace in the fourth round. here we have an analogy between the quaternary and the triad, carrying the interpretation up to a heavenly man. the chain was the fourth chain and the globe, the fourth. the fourth cha

tion of chains, globes and schemes, and caused such a stimulation of all the latent manasic units within his body that a downflow of pure manas from the planetary manasic permanent atom was possible along the path of the planetary antaskarana a channel which exists in the case of the planetary logos, and which has not to be built as in the case of man. along with this juxtaposition came a similar alignment with one of the pleiades, permitting of manasic influence from that source.30,(115)31 third, the third method of individualisation is the one to be followed in the next solar system, though it will have its faint beginnings in this one. it is not based on latent activity as in the first case, nor in electrical polarity as in the second, but in a peculiar process of "occult abstraction (u

.33(117) hints in several passages in the secret doctrine. this scheme is considered as the fourth and the one of the most importance in the system during this particular cycle for the following reasons: our solar system, being considered as of the fourth order, and our scheme being the fourth in order, there is consequently a moment of special opportunity afforded our planetary logos through the alignment brought about. it eventuates in the turning of the attention of the logoic kundalini fire towards this centre, our scheme, and the subsequent results are in process of working out. within the scheme the chain that concerns us the most, and which is temporarily of the most vital importance to the planetary logos, is the earth chain, the fourth in order again, thus bringing about another a

ering of forms, but it is simply the necessary sequence to the vitalisation of the life within the form, and the breaking of the limiting form unable to bear the cosmic action. again within the chain, the globe at present receiving planetary polarisation, or at present embodying in a special sense the life of the planetary logos is the earth, the fourth in order. this brings about a still further alignment. add to the above facts the accepted knowledge that this is the fourth round and we have a fivefold alignment which is of paramount significance to us all, though it had even greater significance and force in the fourth root-race, and brought about that stupendous psychic event the opening of the door of initiation to the human hierarchy. these very important facts merit close attention

significance and force in the fourth root-race, and brought about that stupendous psychic event the opening of the door of initiation to the human hierarchy. these very important facts merit close attention, and the consideration of all occult students. they hold the key whereby some comprehension of manas and of planetary evolution may come about. what have we, therefore, in this special cyclic alignment- 213- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust 1. a solar system of the fourth order. 2. the fourth scheme in the system. 3. the fourth chain in the scheme. 4. the fourth globe in the chain. 5. the fourth round.34(118) all these are found active within the same cycle, and all therefore bring about a simultaneous alignment which results in the clearing of a channel direct from

e. let us briefly enlarge upon it, correct certain erroneous interpretations, and ascertain one or two new facts. we might tabulate these as follows: first, it should be borne in mind by the occult student that: a. this advent signalised the taking of a physical vehicle by the planetary logos, and was literally the coming of the avatar. b. that this advent was brought about by a definite systemic alignment which involved: the venus scheme of the system. the venus chain of the earth scheme. the venus globe of the earth chain. c. that the planetary logos did not come from the venus scheme but from the venus chain of his own scheme, the earth scheme. owing to systemic alignment logoic kundalini could flow through a certain triangle of which two points were venus and the earth. this caused an

nt planes will be sought, and the analogy between the fourth etheric subplane and the fourth or buddhic plane (the fourth cosmic ether) will be studied, for it will be realised that the life of those entities, whom we recognise as the planetary logoi, pours through our scheme from the fourth cosmic plane, the cosmic buddhic, and thus in a very special sense through all lesser correspondences. the alignment will be as follows: a. the fourth cosmic plane, the cosmic buddhic. b. the fourth cosmic ether, the fourth plane of the system, the buddhic. c. the fourth etheric subplane of our physical plane. there is thus a line of least resistance from the planes of the cosmos, producing a special activity in connection with the heavenly men, demonstrating on their own plane, and sequentially in con

c atom on the abstract levels. during the sixth and seventh rounds we shall again have the synthesising process at work in a manner analogous to that which lies ahead in the sixth and seventh root races of this round. to express the whole matter in larger terms: the heavenly man will be achieving the consciousness of his causal body on cosmic levels, with a consequent reaction, repolarisation and alignment of his body of manifestation. under the law this will work out as demonstrated quality, and ordered intelligent purpose in every kingdom of nature, and will produce unifying results within those kingdoms of a kind inexplicable to man at his present stage of manasic development. we need not, therefore, give further time to the consideration of them, for the mental concept of man could not

taught to contact their own ego or higher energy; how best they can be led to appropriate the knowledge and ability of their higher self for use on the physical plane; how best they can ascertain their group formation, and thus work along with their group, and in unison with the total energy of that group; how best their threefold lower self physical, astral, and mental can be brought into direct alignment with their higher centre of force, and thus draw down a continuous supply of energy for the strengthening of their three vehicles, and their wise manipulation; how best the- 325- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust various spirillae can be awakened and the energy within their own cells released for action. all this will be a thing of gradual evolution, but i have here ou

ded. third. the conscious co-operation of the chela is necessitated in the third method of overshadowing. in this case he will (with full knowledge of the laws of his being and nature) surrender himself and step out of his physical body, handing it over for the use of the great lord or one of his masters. this is only possible in the case of a chela who has brought all the three lower bodies into alignment, and necessitates the unfolding of the sixth petal. by an act of conscious will he renders up his body, and stands aside for a specific length of time. these methods of overshadowing will be largely the ones used by the great lord and his masters at the end of the century, and for this reason they are sending into incarnation, in every country, disciples who have the opportunity offered

sheath, next working with the astral body and finally with the etheric body. at a later stage in the evolution of man (the stage wherein the average man is now) the astral permanent atom is the first contacted, and the energy circulates through it to the other two. at the stage of advanced intellectual man, the mental unit takes the primary place. in this case there is now the possibility of the alignment of the three bodies which will later be an accomplished fact. the fifth spirilla in the lower two atoms increases its vibration. as we know, there are only four spirillae in the mental unit and the moment that that is in full activity, the co-ordination of the antaskarana becomes a possibility. changes are now taking place in the egoic lotus, and the petals are unfolding, that unfoldment

nsmitters of some type of energy arising in the human brain or will. the understanding of force, of force transmission, and of the effects of liberated force upon the higher planes is the secret of occult knowledge. force or energy flows in from the ego. it works through the etheric centres and produces results on the three planes, varying according to the age of the soul. as yet, through lack of alignment, this egoic force does not reach the physical brain as fully as it later will, but it does reach the astral centres, and is frequently the cause of much of that lack of emotional control everywhere to be seen. the astral substance is as yet insufficiently organised, and when aroused by egoic energy moves violently. astral substance is played upon by two counter streams of force: first, t

centres, to that one of the three higher centres in the etheric body particularly concerned. f. from the etheric centre to the physical brain. we have here put very briefly the process of force transmission from the monad to man on the physical plane, and hence it will be apparent why the emphasis is so consistently laid upon the necessity for bodily purity (in all the three bodies, and upon the alignment of those bodies so that the flow of force may be unimpeded. the effects of this downflow of force may be viewed in a twofold manner, that is, in a material and in a psychic sense. the material effect, or the result of this stimulation upon the forms and upon the atoms in the forms, is to render them radioactive, or to set loose the energy of substance. this is the liberating of the energ

of force direction may be safely undertaken. the disciple has to pass the forces used in his work through his body. 3. the unfoldment and awakening of the centres in the etheric body, the centralization of the fires of the body and their just progression up the spine, in order to make union with the fire of the soul. 4. the coordination of the physical body in its two divisions and its subsequent alignment with the soul via the sutratma or the thread, which is the magnetic link. the third adjustment spoken of can only safely be undertaken after the first three means of yoga have been used and developed. these are: 1. the five commandments (see: book ii. sutras 28 and 29) 2. the five rules (see: book ii. sutras 32 to 46) 3. right poise (see: book ii. sutras 46 to 48) this is a point often f

three sheaths which constitute the lower self and which veil the divinity which is man. these changes are dealt with in the next two sutras. the work of the average aspirant is most frequently given to preparing the sheaths so that this fourth stage can become possible. his attention is concentrated upon the attainment of: 1. the conscious coordination of the three bodies or sheaths, 2. their due alignment, 3. the regulation of the rhythm of the sheaths so that they are synchronized with each other and with the rate of the egoic impression, 4. their unification into one coherent whole so that the man is literally the three in one and the one in three, 5. quiescence, or the attitude of positive receptivity to the higher inspiration and downflow of egoic life and energy. it may help the stud

hat by preventing the transformation of the thinking principle, the sense also will follow it and be immediately controlled. not only this but they will be ever ready to contribute collectively toward the absorbing meditation of any given thing at any moment" the result, therefore, of correct abstraction or withdrawal is briefly: 1. the synthesis of the senses by the sixth sense, the mind. 2. the alignment of the threefold lower man so that the three bodies function as a coordinated unit. 3. the freeing of the man from the limitations of the bodies. 4. the consequent ability of the soul or ego to impress and illuminate the brain through the medium of the mind. 55. as a result of these means there follows the complete subjugation of the sense organs. in book i a general indication was given

ss laid down, check it, and thus cut off from the eye of the other an essential element in the seeing of any object" this entire process is only possible as the result of concentrated and one pointed meditation, and hence is impossible to the man who has not passed through the long discipline and training involved in the work of gaining control of the thinking principle and setting up that direct alignment and functioning which is possible when the thinker on his own plane, the mind, and the brain, are all aligned and coordinated via the sutratma, thread or magnetic silver cord. 22. karma (or effects) are of two kinds: immediate karma or future karma. by perfectly concentrated meditation on these, the yogi knows the term of his experience in the three worlds. this knowledge comes also from

espondences of the nature of god as shown in the macrocosm. 48. as a result of this perfection, there comes rapidity of action like that of mind, perception independent of the organs, and mastery over root substance. we have been considering the many results of the meditation process when carried forward to perfection and we are now reaching a climax. the seer has achieved the consummation of the alignment process. his triple personal self has been purified, adjusted and controlled. each of the three bodies is vibrating in tune with the note of the ego or higher self, which in turn is in process of synchronizing with the monad or divine self, the spirit on its own plane. the great "son of mind" the thinker on the higher levels of the mental plane, is the dominating factor now, and the resu

that which proved a hindrance and an obstacle to the full expression of divinity in manifestation has been so dealt with that now it serves as an adequate expression and means of service. the soul can now function freely and intelligently in the three worlds because complete unity has been reached between the lower and the higher man. the soul and its vehicles form a unit and are at one; complete alignment of the bodies has been achieved and the son of god can function freely on earth. thus has the great objective been reached and through a following of the eight means of yoga the soul can manifest through the lower threefold man, and in its turn form a medium of expression for the spirit. matter has been brought into a state where its vibration can synchronise with that of the soul, and t

the master, no matter how willing he may be, is powerless, and can take no steps to admit a man to his group and thus take him into his auric influence, making him an outpost of his consciousness. every step of the way has to be carried out by a man himself, and there is no short or easy road out of darkness into light. the way of the disciple the white magician is ever one who, through conscious alignment with his ego, with his "angel, is receptive to his plans and purposes, and therefore capable of receiving the higher impression. we must remember that while magic works from above downwards, and is the result of solar vibration, and not the impulses emanating from one or the other of the lunar pitris, the downflow of the impressing energy from the solar pitri is the result of his interna

se of the spine. b. the vital body working through the heart centre where the life principle has its seat. the activities of the body which are due to this stimulation are carried through the circulation of the blood. c. the emotional body, working through the solar plexus centre. d. the head centre, the direct agent of the soul and its interpreter, the mind. these four are in complete accord and alignment. when this is the case, the work of initiation and its interludes of active discipleship become possible. before this time the work cannot proceed. this is foreshadowed in the aspirant when there is enacted a symbolic happening in the light in the head which is the forerunner of the later stage of initiation. in this stage, the soul light penetrates into the region of the pineal gland; t

also enters into meditation. 6. the work proceeds in ordered stages and with cyclic activity. 7. the light of the soul is thrown downwards. 8. the light of the vital body and the physical form is synchronised with that of the head. 9. the centres swing into activity. 10. the light of the soul and the two other aspects of light are so intense that now all life in the three worlds is illumined. 11. alignment is produced, the work of discipleship and of initiation becomes possible and proceeds according to the law of being. principles and personalities there is, however, a point which merits consideration and which could be approached in the form of a question. the student might well enquire into the matter as follows "some people approach the problem of being through mental appreciation; oth

with wise discrimination he apportions the work and never lays upon one human being more than he can adequately accomplish. he can and does train his disciple so that it appears to the on-looking world as if he accomplishes miracles but forget not that the vast amount of work accomplished by one useful disciple only becomes possible when the control of all his three bodies is co-ordinated and his alignment accomplished. he who has a stable mental body that is strongly positive in reception from above, whilst negative to lower vibrations, he who has an astral body that is clear, uncoloured and still, he who also has a physical body with steady nerves and stable rhythm (it will be like a casket, beautiful, yet strong as steel) will serve as a vessel meet for the master's use, a channel throu

the spiritual eye register the illumination within those forms which "illumination" indicates a specific state of being. it opens up the world of radiance. 2. it is the controlling factor of the magical work. all white magical work is carried forward with a definitely constructive purpose, made possible through the use of the intelligent will. in other words, the soul knows the plan, and when the alignment is right and the attitude correct, the will aspect of the divine man can function and bring about results in the three worlds. the organ- 125- a treatise on white magic copyright 1998 lucis trust used is the third eye. the analogy to this can be seen in the often noticed power of the human eye as it controls other human beings and animals by a look, and through steady gazing can act magn

ction, destroys all forms, withdraws itself from manifestation and ends the cycle of creative work. bringing these concepts down to practical expression in relation to the rule under consideration, it can be noted that all these three activities are dealt with in this rule. the third eye opens as the- 126- a treatise on white magic copyright 1998 lucis trust result of conscious development, right alignment and the inflow of soul life. then its magnetic controlling force makes itself felt, controlling the lives of the lower bodies, driving forth the lower four elementals (of earth, water, fire, air) and forcing the lunar lords to abdicate. the personality, which has hitherto been the master, no longer can control, and the soul comes into full domination in the three worlds. the elemental of

at the same time they themselves learn much needed lessons. the effort on the part of all aspirants should not be to resist and repel the pressure or to fight and ward off. such a method centres the attention upon the not-self and leads to added chaos. the effort should be along the lines of an endeavour to make contact with the higher self, and keep it stable and steady, and to be in such direct alignment that the force and power of the soul may be poured upon and through the lower threefold nature. this pouring through will bring about a steady radiation which will affect the surroundings exactly in proportion to the extent of the inner contact, and in direct relation to the clarity of the channel linking the physical brain to the causal body. the aspirant should also strive after that s

s from having seen the vision and realisation of the part you have to play in bringing that vision down to earth. it is helpful to differentiate between happiness, joy and bliss: first, happiness, which has its seat in the emotions, and is a personality reaction- 213- a treatise on white magic copyright 1998 lucis trust second, joy, which is a quality of the soul and is realised in the mind, when alignment takes place. third, bliss, which is the nature of the spirit and about which speculation is fruitless until the soul realises its oneness with the father. this realisation follows upon an earlier stage wherein the personal self is at-oned with the soul. therefore speculation and analysis as to the nature of bliss is profitless to the average man whose metaphors and terminologies must per

service, rendered with utter selflessness and without any reservations. the personnel of the group is known only to the elder brothers of the race, and no register of names is kept, and there are only three main requirements: 1. a certain amount of at-one-ment between the soul and its mechanism is essential, and that inner triplicity, usually dormant in the majority, of soul-mind-brain must be in alignment and active. 2. the brain has to be telepathically sensitive in two directions and at will. it must be aware of the world of souls and also of the world of men. 3. there must also exist a capacity for abstract or synthetic thought. this will enable a man to leap over racial and religious barriers. when this is present also there is an assured belief in the continuity of life and its corre

ransmit the soul impressions and the group purposes and recognitions. this involves: 1. the awakening into conscious activity of the centre between the eyebrows, called by the oriental student, the ajna centre. 2. the subordinating then of the activity of this centre to that of the head centre, so that the two vibrate in unison. this produces the establishment of three things: a. direct conscious alignment between soul-mind-brain- 245- a treatise on white magic copyright 1998 lucis trust b. the appearance of a magnetic field which embraces both the head centres and so definitely affects the pineal gland and the pituitary body. c. the recognition of this field of dual activity in two ways: as of a light in the head, an interior radiant sun, or as a dynamic centre of energy through which the

ntiates itself into- 297- a treatise on white magic copyright 1998 lucis trust two parts: there is first of all the interlude which we call contemplation. i would remind you of the definition given in a book by evelyn underhill which describes contemplation as "an interlude between two activities. this period of silence succeeds upon the activity (found so difficult by the beginner) of making the alignment between soul-mind-brain, of quieting the emotional body, and of achieving that concentration and meditation which will serve to focus and reorient the mind upon a new world, and place it within the sphere of influence of the soul. it is analogous to the period of inhalation. in this cycle, the outgoing consciousness is gathered in and lifted up. when success crowns this effort, the consc

ans, as you see, employ the lower interlude, and both know the significance of the physical breathing interludes. but the white magician works from the soul level out into the manifested world and seeks to carry out the divine plan, whilst the black magician works from the level of the intellect as he seeks to achieve his own separative ends. the difference is not only that of motive, but also of alignment and the radius of the consciousness and its field of expansion. hence you will see why such extreme caution is evidenced by all true teachers, as they endeavor to teach the nature of the magical work. only the tested and the true, only the unselfish and the pure can be given the full instructions. all can be given the information concerning the major interludes of soul-mind and mind-brai

ly identified with religious beliefs and organisations. mental comprehension of the ray teaching, and the study of the rays in relation to evolving nature, are of mental importance and of spiritual import, but of no practical value in the living of the daily life, except in so far as they serve to shift the polarisation of the aspirant off the emotional plane on to the mental, and thereby produce alignment and stabilisation. we now come to a consideration of the rays and of the vegetable kingdom. it is difficult for us to grasp the significance of the consciousness and the activity of the mineral kingdom, for it is so far removed from our own. it is hard for us really to understand, with our seeing consciousness, the fact that, for instance, our nails and teeth and bony structure have a co

g cause of the caste system, and caste is a symbol of translation. in the last analysis, souls pass from caste to caste as they "translate" their bodies. the clue to the translation is to be found in the fact that no act of translation ever involves one body alone, and no "passing on and up" into another dimension, into another state of consciousness and another "caste" ever takes place unless an alignment has been produced between (for instance: a. the physical body and the emotional body. b. these two and the mental body. c. these three and the soul. d. these four and the group of world servers. in these four alignments we have the esoteric parallels of which the outer caste system is the prostituted symbol. ponder on this, for the caste system is universal in the world. it is when the t

tion into the world of soul energy, so men and women, who are oriented to soul living in their aggregate, form a group of souls, en rapport with the source of spiritual supply. they have, as a group, and from the angle of the hierarchy, established a contact and are "in touch" with the world of spiritual realities. just as the individual disciple stabilises this contact and learns to make a rapid alignment and then, and only then, can come into touch with the master of his group and intelligently respond to the plan, so does this group of aligned souls come into contact with certain greater lives and forces of light, such as the christ and the buddha. the aggregated aspiration, consecration and intelligent devotion of the group carries the individuals of which it is composed to greater hei

ay. if they work together as a group of souls, they can accomplish much. this thought illustrates also the significance of this law which does produce polar union. what is needed to be grasped is that in this work, there is no personal ambition implied, even of a spiritual nature and no personal union sought. this is not the mystical union of the scriptures or of the mystical tradition. it is not alignment and union with a master's group, or fusion with one's inner band of pledged disciples, nor even with one's own ray life. all these factors constitute preliminary implications and are of an individual application. upon this sentence i ask you to ponder. this union is a greater and more vital thing because it is a group union. what we are seeking to do is to carry forward a group endeavor

forth creative work in accordance with the plan can go forward on all three planes. thus has god, in his wisdom, chosen to limit himself, and the work of evolution proceeds solely through the medium of his chosen builders and under the direction on this planet of those men whose lives are being transformed through soul contact and creative service, and who constitute the planetary hierarchy. when alignment has been effected, when the at-one-ment has been more constantly made, and when the antaskarana (the bridge connecting the higher and the lower) is in definite process of construction, the true nature of service, as practiced by any individual begins to emerge. the first effect of the inflowing force of the soul, which is the major factor leading to demonstrated service, is to integrate

d to facilitate interrelation or communication as follows: 1. they will be occupied with an endeavor to facilitate communication between individuals so that the rules and methods whereby speech can be transcended may become known and the new way of intercourse be brought about. eventually communication will be from: a. soul to soul, on the higher levels of the mental plane. this involves complete alignment, so that soul-mind-brain are completely at-one. b. mind to mind, on the lower levels of the mental plane. this involves the complete integration of the personality or lower self, so that mind and brain are at-one. students must remember these two distinctive contacts, and bear in mind also that the greater contact need not necessarily include the lesser. telepathic communication between

rld of ideas is a world of dynamic force centres. this should not be forgotten. these ideas have to be contacted and noted. their energy has to be assimilated and transmitted and this is the function of those force centres which will express themselves along these lines of activity. 9. groups working in another category will have for their specific work the stimulating of the minds of men so that alignment can take place. they act primarily as channels of communication between the soul of man and the soul in any form. they will be the great psychometrical workers, for a psychometrist is one whose soul is sensitive to the soul in other forms of life, human and non-human. they evoke the soul of the past, primarily, linking it with the present, and finding it also indicative of the future. 10

ane basis. they are based on a group idealism which can only be consciously registered when the units in the group are beginning to function upon the mental plane and are developing the capacity to "think things through" that is, to register in the brain that which the soul has imparted to the mind. we have here a definition of the meditation process as it should be followed by those who, through alignment, have made some measure of soul contact. these groups are functioning entirely through a subjective relation, which produces a subjective integration and activity. when we come to study the astrological implications in connection with these laws, we shall discover that the energies of the zodiacal signs have a specific effect upon the energy of a being, whose purpose works out into manif

g to the ray of the creative artist. we must not forget that the artist is found on all rays; there is no particular ray which produces more artists than another. the form will apparently take spontaneous expression when the inner life of the artist is regulated, producing the outer organisation of his life forms. true creative art is a soul function; the primary task, therefore, of the artist is alignment, meditation and the focussing of his attention upon the world of meaning. this is followed by the attempt to express divine ideas in adequate forms, according to the innate capacity and the ray tendencies of the artist in any field which he may choose and which is for him the best medium for his endeavor. it is paralleled by the effort, constantly made upon the physical plane, to equip

e of the most important ever made in this treatise in connection with psychology. gradually it will be noted that certain ray meditations can be used to bring in the influence of the soul and these will be later discussed. some simple yet powerful meditation formulas will be given, which can be used by the man who is an integrated personality, in order to bring one or another of his vehicles into alignment and consequent control. it will be observed that the rays governing the mind include one which links the mind nature with the ray of the solar system, which is the cosmic ray of love. this one is the ray of harmony, the fourth ray, but it is also harmony through conflict. it is a most important ray, for it gives us the clue to the whole problem of pain and of suffering. our attention sho

of personality integration has eventually to call in this fourth type of energy when upon the path, in order rightly to condition his mind and through the mind, his personality. in considering the personality, therefore, and its conditioning rays we will study: 1. the appropriation of the bodies: a. their building psychologically, or their coherent construction. b. their development and eventual alignment. c. their inter-relation in the life of the personality. 2. the coordination of the personality: a. the techniques of integration, seven in number. b. the technique of fusion, leading to the emergence of the ray of the personality. c. the technique of duality, divinely understood, or the relation of the ray of the personality and the ray of the soul. 3. some problems of psychology, arisi

lity and to the opinions of others. secondly, it is essential that all disciples in an ashram should be contemplatives, but contemplatives in the occult sense and not the mystical. in any meditation work which you are doing or may in the future do, your aim should be to achieve as rapidly as possible the highest point in the meditation process, passing quickly through the stages of concentration, alignment and meditation to contemplation. having achieved that high point, you should strive to preserve it and should learn thus to function as a soul in its own world, contemplating the world of energies in which all initiates work and in which you each must some day in this life or another take your place. this status (if i may call it by such a name) must be carefully striven for, accurately

ly suited to the disciple concerned and vary according to ray, point in evolution and the stage of discipleship which is the immediate objective. these cannot be given here. these meditations will be given to you as suggestions for your use and acceptance. endeavour at some stage in your meditation to link up with me but let this linking up take place after you have worked at and brought about an alignment with your soul. the reason that it is essential that you link up after alignment is that you can then avoid the glamours and the illusions of the astral plane whereon thoughtforms and masquerading entities personalise the teachers and the masters and do so in their myriads. add also to your meditation a short period wherein you will try and- 14- discipleship in the new age- volume i copy

rs of the individual groups and among the groups as a whole. you ask why is this so, my brothers? because the force flowing in might prove too strong for the individual disciple to handle alone, but the force is shared by the group if there is complete group at-one-ment. in this way, each disciple can serve the group and his objective eventually becomes: a. at-one-ment with his group brothers. b. alignment with his soul and with the inner group which is the subjective cause of the outer groups. c. the expression of the particular technique which his group should eventually embody. the groups will use the following centres in their work: group 1. the head, heart and throat centres. group 2. the head, heart and solar plexus centres. group 3. the head, heart and ajna centres. group 4. the hea

the subject of telepathic work and by a closer and deeper love, cultivated by all of you. three things are of great importance and constitute your individual responsibility: 1. facility of rapport. as a member of my group, it is essential that you cultivate two aspects of the "art of rapport" which is based, eternally, on loving attraction. a. rapport or contact with the soul through a cultivated alignment and correct meditation. b. rapport or contact with your group brothers; this lays the foundation for constructive, united work. 2. impersonality. is there aught more that i can say on this theme? you must learn to view what is said or suggested by any group brother with a complete and carefully developed "divine indifference" note the use of the word "divine" for it holds the clue to the

ch group and- 48- discipleship in the new age- volume i copyright 1998 lucis trust to be followed by the group with meticulous care. i would ask all the various groups which may be working under my direction to attend to their own individual group business and not to speculate as to the nature of the work being done by the other groups. let me outline for you the stages to be followed: stage one. alignment. soul contact. spiritual poise. poise is the steady holding of the achieved soul contact. a. then, the conscious relinquishing of personality reactions. b. next, the recognition of the fact of love as an expression of that soul contact expressed through the medium of the personality. c. finally, the imaginative fusion of the egoic and personality rays. this constitutes the vertical stage

lepathic worker, such as, for instance, myself, works from the angle of the mind of the transmitter and that of the recipient, establishing first of all a current of rapport (which you sometimes call "sensing the tibetan's vibration; along that current, i send the impression, the idea or the thoughtform which i seek to see impinging first of all upon your minds and then if you are capable of such alignment upon your brains. this process can be either rapid or slow. where the alignment is good, there can be an almost immediate response to my thought; where it is not good, it may take days and even weeks for the impression to be finally realised and consciously registered on the disciple's mind and brain. there are other groups which are consciously working with the energy which can dispel g

e seldom found together: 1. the energy of the soul like the energy of the universal mind and the energy of buddhi, or the intuition has to be set in action upon the physical plane by the one to be healed and by the healer. both have to work in cooperation. 2. there must be right understanding of the disease and its cause, plus the karmic status of the patient and the condition of his centres, his alignment and his point in evolution. as yet we are only dealing with the a.b.c. of these relatively new sciences and much of our initial work must be of a clarifying nature because there is so much distorted sensing of these occult systems of energy utilisation and so much misuse of these powers. other groups are associated in a peculiar manner with the number four, and they are occupied with the

sefulness lies in the unfoldment of the creative imagination. how shall this be done? the two are closely allied. visualisation and the creative imagination are related. a great deal of your problem in this life (where your esoteric unfoldment is concerned) will be solved when these two are better understood by you and when the play of these two forces produces in you an inner re-adjustment, a re-alignment and an externalisation of your subjective life. will you think deeply upon this matter, my brother? january 1937 brother of mine: i am glad that you regard yourself as sensitive to my vibration, for so you are. but not as often as you think. it is so easy for aspirants to confound the second ray vibration as it expresses itself through a second ray group such as my group of disciples wit

nation to cooperate and this facilitates the work. for you, therefore, in the immediate future, two things are required. your sensitivity to inner impression must grow and increase; your will also must be more dynamically used. these two points i have in view as i consider the nature of the meditation which i must assign to you. the condition of increased sensitivity is dependent upon a perfected alignment and the other upon the right seizure of opportunity, upon directed skill in action and upon a sustained egoic one-pointedness. therefore, there must be a preservation of such characteristics with persistence throughout the day. your morning meditation should be of a brief and yet potent character and can best be described by the following words: alignment. dedication. directed thought. r

s of the case as against his "vain imaginings; and so the "light shines upon his way" he is not yet able to see truly in the larger sweeps of consciousness; the group glamour and, of course, the world glamour remain to him as yet a binding and bewildering mystery, but his own immediate way begins to clear, and he stands relatively free from the fog of his ancient and distorting emotional miasmas. alignment, contact with his soul, and then steadfastness, are the keynotes to success. it will therefore be apparent to you that small groups such as this, if established in different countries and cities and if successful in their personal activities, could play a most useful part. such groups would have two aspects to their endeavour. they would have to wrestle with group glamour which creeps in

for l.t.s-k. to free himself from the glamour in which he habitually walked. today a little more light shines upon his way and he may, if he frees himself still further from his self-generated thoughtforms, make the needed grade. when group glamour has been somewhat dissipated and the group can walk in the "lighted way" with freedom, then will come the time when the group can be trained in group alignment, group contact and group steadfastness. it can then begin the definite and scientific task of attacking the world glamour. it is of interest in this particular group to be reminded that this is part of the activity now being undertaken by certain people in the new group of world servers. through the emphasis in the world of certain basic ideas such as goodwill and mutual inter-dependence

irculation and constant mutation of force. he discovers then how these forces interplay in his own experiences and nature, and grasps then the fundamental fact that only those forces which he himself can use and master in his own life as an individual can be employed by him in group activity and be used in the dispelling of the world glamour. it might be expressed in illustration thus: 1. through alignment and subsequent contact, the intuition is evoked, awakened and used. this is the great dispelling agency, and pours down from the plane of the intuition (the plane of buddhi) through the soul and the brain to the heart of the disciple. 2. through alignment and subsequent contact, the energy of the soul is evoked, awakened and used. this is the great dissipating agency, and pours down from

it is rare indeed for any disciple to escape the effects of this error of illusion for it is, curiously, based upon right success and right motive. hence the specious nature of the problem. it might be expressed thus: an aspirant succeeds in contacting his soul or ego through right effort. through meditation, good intention, and correct technique, plus the desire to serve and to love, he achieves alignment. he becomes then aware of the results of his successful work. his mind is illumined. a sense of power flows through his vehicles. he is, temporarily at least, made aware of the plan. the need of the world and the capacity of the soul to meet that need flood his consciousness. his dedication, consecration and right purpose enhance the directed inflow of spiritual energy. he knows. he love

f. instead of redoubling his efforts and thus establishing a closer contact with the kingdom of souls and loving all beings more deeply, he begins to call attention to himself, to the mission he is to develop, and to the confidence that the master and even the planetary logos apparently have in him. he talks about himself; he gestures and attracts notice, demanding recognition. as he does so, his alignment is steadily impaired; his contact lessens and he joins the ranks of the many who have succumbed to the illusion of sensed power. this form of illusion is becoming increasingly prevalent among disciples and those who have taken the first two initiations. there are today many people in the world who have taken the first initiation in a previous life. at some period in the present life- 32

lower nature. 1. glamour on the mental plane. illusion. in this section of our discussion we shall give less time to the consideration of illusion than we shall to that of glamour, or of maya. illusion is not met squarely, faced and overcome until a man has: a. shifted the focus of his consciousness on to the mental plane. b. worked definitely at the task of intelligent service. c. made his soul alignment consciously and easily, and firmly established his technique of contact. d. taken the first initiation. the word illusion is frequently lightly used to signify lack of knowledge, unsettled opinions, glamour, misunderstandings, psychic bewilderment, the dominance of the lower psychic powers, and many other forms of the world illusion. but the time has come when the word must be used with

nebulous, and frequently is arrived at from a second-hand angle. the illumination, coming through the medium of the feebly established soul contact, seems to the unaccustomed neophyte to be of a supreme wonder and of vital moment. the ideas contacted appear to him of great marvel, and superbly unusual, and vitally needed by humanity. but the mind is still self-centred, the contact feeble and the alignment uncertain. the ideas are therefore only dimly sensed. but the uniqueness of the experience in the realised content of the mind of the disciple leads him deep into the realm of illusion. the idea, or ideas, which he has contacted are, if he could realise, only a fragment of a far greater whole. that which he brings to their interpretation is inadequate. the idea which has emerged in his c

olours the man's interpretation of the idea. it colours the emerging thoughtform. symbolically speaking, the pure light is changed into coloured light. the idea is then "clothed with colour, and thereby the first veil descends" 2. the point in evolution which the man has reached has also its effect, plus the quality of the integration existing between the three aspects of the personality, and the alignment established between soul-mind-brain. this, being necessarily imperfect, produces indefiniteness of outline and consequently of the final form. therefore we have: a. imperfect integration of the personality. b. indefiniteness of the proposed thoughtform. c. the wrong material consequently attracted for the building of the thoughtform. d. a shifting focus of attention, owing to the dimness

the path of return" this return is the objective of the human family and the culminating goal of the four kingdoms in nature. we could enlarge the concept by expressing the truth in the following manner: process correspondence obstacle 1. physical coordination. mineral kingdom .m aya. 2. astral orientation. vegetable kingdom. glamour. 3. mental direction. animal kingdom. illusion. 4. personality alignment. human kingdom. the dweller on the threshold. these processes have, therefore, their equivalents in all the kingdoms and lead up to: 1. the unfoldment of the divine consciousness. this starts in the mineral kingdom. 2. the expression of the soul. this is typified in the vegetable kingdom with its uses and beauty. 3. the manifestation of the christ. this is the recognised goal of the anim

3.the holding of the mind steady in the light of the soul, which remains the attitude of the lower self for the entire remaining period of work, held at the point of tension by the soul and not by an effort of the personality. the soul undertakes this holding when the personal self has done its utmost to achieve the desired tension. these are the three preliminary steps for which the practice of alignment should have prepared the student of the higher mysteries. these steps must precede all effort to develop the intuition, and this may take several months (or even years) of careful preparation. fire is the symbol of the mind and these are the first three stages of the agni yoga discipline or of the yoga of fire for which raja yoga has prepared the student. next come six more stages in the

forms. they are not created as a form of expression for some dynamic life by the planetary logos, and this is the real meaning of what i have earlier told you that the astral plane in reality does not exist. it is the phantasmoric creation of human desire down the ages and its false light is a reflection of either the light of matter or of the mind. this process of focussing is undertaken through alignment and by the effort to bring to a point of illumination the positive light of the mind and the negative light of the brain and is carried forward through mental control, developed- 124- glamour: a world problem copyright 1998 lucis trust in meditation. when these two opposite poles are in relation then (by an act of the personality will) these two aspects of the lesser light can form a pin

been responsible for all the inspirational writings of real power, the world scriptures, the illumined utterances, the inspired speakers, and the language of symbolism. it only becomes possible where there is an integrated personality, and, at the same time, the power to focus oneself in the soul consciousness. the mind and the brain have, at the same time, to be brought into perfect rapport and alignment. it is my intention to elucidate further this science of communication, which started through the sense of touch and developed through sound, symbols, words and sentences, languages, writing, art, and on again to the stage of higher symbols, vibratory contact, telepathy, inspiration and illumination. i have, however, in the above, dealt with the general outline and we will take the speci

all like a regenerating force. 2. the force of mind. this is the illuminating energy which "lights the way" of an idea or form to be transmitted and received. forget not that light is subtle substance. upon a beam of light can the energy of the mind materialise. this is one of the most important statements made in connection with the science of telepathy. the success of this is dependent upon the alignment of the bodies of the transmitter and the recipient. the double line of contact must be that of mental energy and brain electrical energy. the magnetic power of love to attract attention, to produce alignment, and to call forth rapport and understanding is not all that is necessary in the new telepathy which will distinguish the new age. there must also be mental development and mental co

its underlying purpose and teaching value, and its mental appeal. 4. study its very being and identify yourself with its divine underlying idea. when you have reached this final stage, hold your consciousness steady at that high point as you (if you are a transmitter) send out the word to the receiver or to the receiving group. receivers should in their turn achieve, as far as they can, complete alignment so as to be responsive to all these four aspects of the word. this method will serve to shift the receiver nearer to the plane where he should function the level of the higher mind. the word goes out upon the life breath of the transmitter; his lower mind then sends out the purpose aspect; his astral consciousness is responsible for sending out the quality aspect; and the form aspect is

nality the etheric body, the astral vehicle and the mind nature; basically, this aligning process should be started and developed upon the probationary path and brought to a relatively high state of effectiveness upon the earlier stages of the path of discipleship. later, as the disciple consciously creates the antahkarana and becomes a functioning part of the ashram, he learns (whilst practising alignment) to by-pass if i may use such a word two aspects of himself which have hitherto been of major importance: the astral vehicle and the soul body or causal body. the astral body is thus by-passed before the fourth initiation, and the soul body before the fifth; the entire process of "by-passing" takes much time and must be worked at with intensity, first of all with the focus upon the emoti

ric vehicle copyright 1998 lucis trust several different sources, and these energies galvanise these three centres into a new and increased activity. invocation is arising all the time between these centres and producing a consequent evocation of impressing energies. in these seven statements, you have depicted a pattern of the present planetary work or the present logoic thesis. an involutionary alignment (the guarantee of future successful alignments) constitutes most ancient history; an evolutionary alignment in which all three centres are involved is constantly producing an interplay of energies as well as a constantly successful impression of one centre upon another. humanity, as the throat centre of the planetary logos and the prime planetary creative agency (which modern science dem

of the human being, his emotional nature and the mind. the belief in the masters was a closely guarded secret; now they are discussed from public platforms in all our great cities. the way of meditation and its techniques were closely guarded subjects and the public was taught that such teachings were dangerous; today, this idea is exploded and scores of people throughout the world meditate, make alignment and arrive at soul contact and knowledge. the truth has also been veiled and hidden by a vast body of secondary teaching which has sidetracked the interest of the enquirer, and engrossed his attention through the importance attached to phenomena. posture, the use of ancient formulas, words and mantrams, breathing exercises, mysterious hints as to the raising of the kundalini fires, the a

a sympathetic rapport with the patient, so that the healer achieves insight into the trouble and establishes the confidence of the patient? two words i give you which embody the requirements of all true healers, and towards which you must work. they are magnetism and radiation. a healer must be magnetic above everything else, and he must attract to him: a. the power of his own soul; this involves alignment through individual meditation. b. those whom he can help; this involves a decentralised attitude- 5- a treatise on the seven rays- volume iv: esoteric healing copyright 1998 lucis trust c. those energies, when need arises, which will stimulate the patient to the desired activity. this involves occult knowledge and a trained mind. the healer must understand also how to radiate, for the ra

(and this is a platitude) is caused by lack of harmony a disharmony to be found existing between the form aspect and the life. that which brings together form and life, or rather, that which is the result of this intended union, we call the soul, the self where humanity is concerned, and the integrating principle where the subhuman kingdoms are concerned. disease appears where there is a lack of alignment between these various factors, the soul and the form, the life and its expression, the subjective and the objective realities. consequently, spirit and matter are not freely related to each other. this is one mode of interpreting law i, and the entire thesis is intended to be an exposition of that law. 2. this lack of harmony, producing what we call disease, runs through all the four kin

ht, leading to nonresistance. at present, by the power of his directed thought and his intense antagonism to disease, he only tends to energise the difficulty. when he reorients his thought to truth and the soul, physical plane ills will begin to disappear. this will become apparent as we study later the method of eradication. disease exists. forms in all kingdoms are full of inharmony and out of alignment with the indwelling life. disease and corruption and the tendency towards dissolution are found everywhere. i am choosing my words with care. 6. disease is not, therefore, the result of wrong human thought. it existed among the many forms of life long before the human family appeared on earth. if you seek verbal expression, and if you want to talk within the limits of the human mind, you

uld be inevitable that there would be too much conversation, and the work done would not be adequately effective. from the physical standpoint, they work alone; from the true inner standpoint, they work in the closest cooperation. here are the first rules which i would have the student master: preliminary rules for radiatory healing 1. by an act of the will, after making your own quick, conscious alignment, link up as a soul with the souls of your group brothers. then link up with their minds, and then with their emotional natures. do this by the use of the imagination, realising that energy follows thought and that the linking process is inevitable, if correctly done. you can then function as a group. then forget about the group relation and concentrate upon the work to be done. 2. within

t with the soul is being mastered. this process is today being taught in all the newer and sounder esoteric schools, and has been emphasised in the arcane school from the start; it is that procedure (distinguished by right orientation, concentration and meditation) which relates the personality to the soul, and thus to the hierarchy. relationship to the hierarchy automatically takes place as this alignment goes forward and direct soul contact is thereby established. personality consciousness is superseded by group consciousness, and the inflow of hierarchical energy follows as a natural consequence, for all souls are only aspects of the hierarchy. it is this established relationship, with its subsequent interplay (magnetic and radiatory, which brings about the final destruction of the soul

relation to his soul, and then two expansions of consciousness take place which are interpreted by him as events or happenings: 1. he is drawn into the ashram of one of the masters, according to his soul ray, and becomes an accepted disciple in the technical sense. the master is himself the heart centre of the ashram and he can now reach his disciple, via the soul, because that disciple, through alignment and contact, has put his heart into close rapport with the soul. he then becomes responsive to the heart of all things which, as far as humanity is at present concerned, is the hierarchy. 2. he is drawn into close service relationship with humanity. his growing sense of responsibility, due to heart activity, leads him to serve and work. eventually he too becomes the heart of a group or o

his matter, i cannot here enlarge, and there is no time for a longer elucidation at this time. mental healers (true mental healers who are rare indeed) blend soul energy with the two above mentioned forces and this produces a synthesis of the personality forces. carried forward intelligently, this synthesis brings about the healing of the person through the production of definite organisation and alignment. soul healing supersedes the three above mentioned methods, and produces the pouring into and through the mechanism of the patient of pure soul energy. it was in this way that christ worked, and there are few today to work this way. it must be held before you, however, as an objective. physical healing by prana is very common. it is often temporarily effective, but it concerns and deals

cases, enforced by the subject's group and not by the subject himself frequently an unconscious invalid, an old person whose response apparatus of contact and response is imperfect, or a baby who is not normal. these- 208- a treatise on the seven rays- volume iv: esoteric healing copyright 1998 lucis trust cases constitute definite instances of an offsetting of the law of karma. the soul, through alignment, enters into a right use of time; or rather the brain, which is the only time-conscious factor in man, is no longer the dominant attribute; the mind, as the agent of the soul (whose consciousness is inclusive of the past, present, and the future, sees life and experience as it truly is. death, therefore, is referred to as an episode, and as a transitional point in a vast series of transi

health will persistently, even if only gradually, disappear and die out and finally be nonexistent. slowly, very slowly, this is already happening not yet in the disappearance of disease, but in the bringing about of a more correct orientation. what this really means is that the channel of contact between the individual and his soul and the soul of humanity is becoming more direct and unimpeded. alignment is being brought about. you can see again, therefore, why the emphasis in the life of the healer must be laid upon contact and alignment, and why so few succeed. there is little if any contact to be found among healers today, and little direct consciousness of the necessity, and no real understanding of the techniques to be followed. it is wise to grasp this important point, for it will

ALICE A BAILEY21 EDUCATION IN THE NEW AGE

ight call these three aspects: the receptive mind, the mind as dealt with by the psychologists. the individualised mind, the son of mind. the illuminating mind, the higher mind. third, the gap between the lower mind and the soul has to be bridged, and curiously enough humanity has always realised this and has talked therefore in terms of "achieving unity" or "making the at-one-ment" or "attaining alignment" these are all attempts to express this intuitively realised truth. vi. education also should concern itself during the new age with the bridging of this gap between the three aspects of the mind nature: between the soul and the lower mind, thus producing at-one-ment between soul and personality; between the lower mind, the soul and the higher mind. for this the race is now ready, and fo

ducation is therefore the science of the antahkarana. this science and this term is the esoteric way of expressing the truth of this bridging necessity. the antahkarana is the bridge the man builds through meditation, understanding and the magical creative work of the soul between the three aspects of his mind nature. therefore the primary objectives of the coming education will be: 1. to produce alignment between mind and brain through a correct understanding of the inner constitution of man, particularly of the etheric body and the force centres. 2. to build or construct a bridge between the brain-mind-soul, thus producing an integrated personality which is a steady developing expression of the in-dwelling soul. 3. to build the bridge between the lower mind, soul, higher mind, so that th

discipleship in the new age- volume ii copyright 1998 lucis trust among the esotericists, will make an outcry. they will be annoyed and bewildered, but they can make no further progress this life unless they widen their point of view; they must learn that the past methods and techniques were devoted to bringing the personality into relation with the soul, with character building, integration and alignment processes, as well as with laying the foundation for what could be given out when humanity reached its present stage. now the preparatory work has been done and has proved effective; it will be continued for those who need its aid, but the more advanced work can be made exoteric. this planned externalising of the teaching must go on all the time. it is the testimony of the hierarchy that

achieve a strong mental reorientation and focus, to keep detached from brain activity, and yet at the same time to preserve the waking brain attentiveness. the resultant effects, reactions, and the registering of any realisation must be noted for the two days succeeding the time of the full moon, for the seeping through of information and knowledge is often a slow process, owing to the inadequate alignment of the bodies. the may full moon will inaugurate the first real united effort to synthesise subjectively the present existing groups. this synthesis and corporate effort will become an annual endeavour as time goes on, and will take place regularly each wesak festival. of the original twenty-four members of the new (reorganised) seed group only eighteen now remain working on the physical

ow been in existence for several years. during this time, i have only been in communication with you annually. those who are in preparation for initiation must inevitably work alone. i would have you remember this. there are, as you know, three sources of inspiration which indicate to the disciple struggling on the physical plane his goal: 1. his own soul .through direct contact, as the result of alignment. 2. the master .through impression, as a result of sensitivity. 3. the ashram group. through service, as a result of interplay. later, as the initiate-disciple makes progress and as he builds the antahkarana, the energy of the one life, emanating from the monad, brings in the fourth type of inspiration. to these spiritual sources of inspiration must be added lesser ones, such as mental i

going and of withdrawing, of progressing in service towards the periphery of activity and also of a conscious abstraction of the consciousness from the outer circle and its centring again at the very heart of life. it is to this retreating within that i summon you a retreat which must be continued and consciously held until the next full moon of may. you might regard it as the individual phase of alignment and of preparation to which each of you is called, and called prior to participation in the group meditation with which you will be occupied for the remainder of the year, after may. stage ii and its successful issue will be largely dependent upon the success achieved during stage i. stage i itself is divided into two parts, and to these i now call your attention. the first part of stage

individual seeds within the group periphery (could we symbolically call it the seed pod or sheath) will become living and potent units of energy (spiritual energy) and the succeeding period of group interrelation and group activity will be correspondingly potent. in the furtherance of this process, leading to radiatory and magnetic living, the method suggested is as follows: stage i 1. reflective alignment of soul and personality, using the creative imagination in the process. this is a "feeling" or astral activity. 2. assumed relation of solar plexus, heart and head, and the focus of the assuming consciousness to be in the region of the ajna centre. this is done mentally. 3. when this has been achieved and realised, there follows next the concentration of aspiration and of thought in the

h just attempting to understand some of its significances. it has a magical import, and when understanding is coupled with the use of the will, this formula constitutes a word of power of magical service. part iv as i have studied the meditation work of each of you (and both you and i know whether it has been faithfully followed or not, i have become aware of a basic need and that is the need for alignment. you need a more direct contact between heart-head-soul. this, necessarily, in preparation for a still higher contact. the two parts of the exercise you have been following since the new seed group was organised have not done what was intended and only three of you have profited adequately from that work. i am, therefore, giving you a very simple alignment exercise which i would ask you

, giving you a very simple alignment exercise which i would ask you to follow together until further notice. i emphasise the word together and shall continue so doing in the hope that the group will move forward with a uniform procedure for this will produce the greatest and most rapid results. it is good for you to have in mind that the better you do this exercise and the quicker and closer your alignment, the better will be the group alignment. the exercise is so short and simple that you may regard it as too elementary. i assure you that it will reward any constant effort. it had been my intention to give another meditation, involving another centre, but the results of the work done do not warrant this. perhaps a better alignment may lead to a more constant application and a more direct

ple that you may regard it as too elementary. i assure you that it will reward any constant effort. it had been my intention to give another meditation, involving another centre, but the results of the work done do not warrant this. perhaps a better alignment may lead to a more constant application and a more direct and understanding occult obedience. i would ask you, therefore, to do this simple alignment exercise every day. i. start with the point of soul focus of which you know much theoretically and can know more practically. this falls into three stages: 1. raise the consciousness into the head- 89- discipleship in the new age- volume ii copyright 1998 lucis trust 2. carry the thought or consciousness upward through the astral body and the mind to the soul. 3. identify the personality

from the angle of the etheric body. 2. consciously throw soul energy down into the centre at the base of the spine. then raise it slowly, via the five centres and the two head centres (ajna and highest head centre, up into the soul body. this produces, when correctly done, a vivifying of the sutratma and links the personality and soul into one blended unit. it is what might be called the acme of alignment. 3. then endeavour to throw the attention of the united soul-personality toward the spiritual triad. iii. reflect upon the antahkarana and its relation to soul-personality and the monad. in your personal instructions this year, i am not going to be explicit nor am i going to give you each an individual meditation. the time for that is past. you have had much along that line. i am going t

epeat with the thought in view that during the second six months you will do what you can to make the effects of the previous period of reflection, a dynamic factor in your life. thus you will externalise the results of the preceding cycle of spiritual and mental brooding. in this way, your subjective realisation can become an objective happening. do this exercise each morning at the close of the alignment work, endeavouring to hold the mind steady in the light and to achieve as far as you can the brooding quality of the soul when in deep meditation. this will not be easy at first, but if you adhere faithfully to instructions, you will consciously realise sure gain. i suggest ten minutes' brooding each day (with pencil in hand if you so prefer) and then during the day keep the seed thought

rom an old book of rules for disciples. some are directly from me, your master, and are applicable to your problems or your duty. part v the meditation work assigned to you thus far falls into three parts: a. the stage of raising the energy of the heart centre into the head centre. b. the stage of sending energy from the head centre to the solar plexus centre. c. a definite and planned process of alignment. i found, as you know, that the great need of the group was to develop the relatively simple attitude of instantaneous relation to or contact with the soul, and through the soul with the master and his ashram. i therefore assigned an alignment exercise when i last communicated with you, and this i did in lieu of more abstruse meditation practices. this meditation is intended to bring abo

h should be pursued by you as you seek to penetrate into the true significance of this symbol which is the theme of your meditation. it constitutes a normal development from the work already done. in the first two meditations given, you dealt with the centres of the etheric body, and were therefore dealing with the personality, the "city which stands foursquare" you were next enjoined to practise alignment, thereby arriving at the recognition, and in some cases the contact, with the spiritual triplicity, which is that which "hovers over the square and radiates the energy of light into this waiting field of active thought" you will note that the entire process is therefore kept in the realm of the non-material and that the physical brain is not, at this stage, at all involved. you, as you s

ence in work and not individual life experience. you will note that this description of the meditation work, which i am asking you to carry forward for a year at least, is based upon the three previous meditations; these sought to bring the etheric body with its various force centres into such a condition that it could become receptive to impression, and cooperate thereafter actively; through the alignment exercise you endeavoured to bring that organised instrument of service into contact with the source of inspiration and the source of impression, i.e, the ashram and the soul. now we are in a position (theoretically at least and dependent individually upon the successful action of all work previously done) to begin the task of bringing through the inspiration and impression consciously, b

to begin the task of bringing through the inspiration and impression consciously, by determined contact with their sources. i will therefore briefly outline the work, asking you to do it after close study of all that i have written above: i. the stage of recognition. 1. recognition of your pledged discipleship. 2. recognition of your equipment, gratefully rendered. 3. recognition of your achieved alignment. 4. recognition of the soul, the source of love-wisdom. 5. recognition of the hierarchy. all this should be done very rapidly, holding the consciousness steadily in the mind, and not in the head. it presupposes an immediate mental focussing of the disciple at the very beginning of his meditation work- 96- discipleship in the new age- volume ii copyright 1998 lucis trust ii. the stage of

ment, and an embryonic mind of such a nature that it can respond to simple educational processes, when available, and is so responding. they are the illiterate masses, the still savage races and the low grade human- 33- the externalisation of the hierarchy copyright 1998 lucis trust beings who are met with in their millions on our planet. the cause for the momentous situation which calls for a re-alignment of our educational systems and processes, and for a readjustment of our present concepts of education, is to be found in the fact that the light of knowledge and the benefits which accrue from it have penetrated to the lowest grades of these slowly evolving people; all three groups are now strictly human and not simply the first two. the highest of them is therefore nearing the stage of

of first ray force, of the will-to-good at this time, induced by the efforts of the world disciples. b. the second effect will be the forming or constitution of a planetary triangle or recognisable triad which will be the correspondence between the three planetary centres to the spiritual triad of monad, soul and personality (the atma-buddhi-manas of the theosophical literature. hitherto the word alignment has best described the planetary situation; there has been a straight line along which energy has poured from shamballa to the hierarchy and from the hierarchy to humanity, but this has meant no direct interplay between humanity and shamballa. if the great invocation can be rendered effective, humanity can then set up a direct relationship with shamballa. the resultant triangle of force

n stepped down by certain powerful agencies in shamballa. it is not necessary for me or for you to say more anent them though i shall touch upon them again later in this article. prior to taking up the great invocation sentence by sentence, i would like briefly to touch upon the needed procedure as you attempt to say it correctly and effectively: forget not, first of all, the necessary process of alignment wherein you do two things: 1. endeavour consciously (which for most of you at present means imaginatively) to align or link soul, mind and brain so that there is a direct and free inflow from the higher self to the lower. 2. endeavour to realise or register your relation to the hierarchy, via your own group of disciples (if you know which it is) or in relation to whichever one of the gre

dvanced spiritual thinkers of the world whose minds are rightly focussed. 2. the rider on the white horse or from the secret place, reached by those whose hearts are rightly touched. 3. the lord of civilisation, the master r, reached by all who, with the first two groups, can stand with "massed intent" on the united work of these three, if humanity can succeed in calling them forth, will come the alignment and the correct relation of three great spiritual centres of the planet, a thing which has never occurred before. then: 1. the lords of liberation will receive and transmit to the hierarchy energy from the centre where god's will is known and furthered. 2. the rider will receive this energy and take such action as will express it, plus the motivating energy from the centre where god's lo

ecause i am still utilising the same physical body in which i took the fifth initiation, nearly ninety years ago. chohans have taken a still higher initiation and are focal points of powerful ashrams; their task of adjustment is very much harder. their invocative appeal to the lord of the world in his council chamber at shamballa has been mounting for some time. it has been called "the appeal for alignment" because the members of the hierarchy feel and know that this great return to earth which has been arranged for the hierarchy after so long an absence, will call for a fuller expression of the spiritual will than even they realise; they know that it will require the cooperation of shamballa as well as the cooperation of humanity. what i have to say about the externalisation of the hierar

itual will than even they realise; they know that it will require the cooperation of shamballa as well as the cooperation of humanity. what i have to say about the externalisation of the hierarchy and its ashrams could well be divided for the sake of clarity into the following points which will form the basis of the instruction. we shall attempt to follow this outline. hierarchical adjustment and alignment: within itself. in connection with the council chamber of sanat kumara. little can be said about this. in relation with humanity. you will note that this involves the three planetary centres. hierarchical preparation at the wesak festival. the mode of approach towards externalisation. steps in the externalisation process. approach via certain ashrams. in the consciousness of the disciple

the teaching far more adequately than could more advanced disciples. you and disciples like you are a definite part of the hierarchy; as you function in an ashram you have a most useful place, and i would beg you to have this ever in mind. i will, therefore, give you whatever information i can and which is permissible, but shall of necessity have to leave much unsaid. hierarchical adjustment and alignment what do i mean by the use of the word "adjustment" in connection with the hierarchy? adjustment to karma, to the personality, to the soul, to circumstances in the three worlds, to the impact of astral forces, or to the thought currents of those not oriented to the kingdom of god, does not constitute part of the training of those who are beyond the third degree of initiation. initiates on

thquakes which will change the face of the earth by the time the sixth rootrace comes into manifestation. it is this direct inflow to the kingdoms functioning exoterically in the three worlds which has relieved and will to some extent relieve the otherwise overpowering pressure upon the hierarchy, and will also act as a great aligning antahkarana between the three planetary centres. it is to this alignment i refer in this instruction the alignment of the three centres upon this planet and the adjustments that this necessitates and inevitably enforces. for the sake of humanity in the first place, and secondarily for the development of the subhuman kingdoms, the hierarchy has made certain difficult adjustments and alignments between the planetary centres, and these have been compulsory in th

rking through 1. disciples in manifestation of the seven ray types. 2. the new group of world servers. 3. the sum total of humanitarians, educators and men of goodwill. this is but a rough picture and one which is not totally correct; it will, however, show you certain direct lines of contact and of relationship which are true and which will suffice to give you a vague and general idea of the new alignment being set up between the three major planetary centres, requiring new adjustments. at this particular time, the emphasis of the needed alignments and adjustments with which the hierarchy is faced is being placed upon activity within the hierarchy itself. the secondary ashrams are being stimulated; new ones are being gradually formed, for there are not as yet forty-nine minor ashrams; vac

illed as rapidly as possible from the ranks of those working in minor ashrams and the places of these latter are being taken by accepted disciples who are being fitted for this work through experience, difficulties and the tension of world service. all these changes necessitate much adjustment. the interior work of- 346- the externalisation of the hierarchy copyright 1998 lucis trust hierarchical alignment is in the charge of the chohans of the major ashrams, whilst the task of superintending the interior adjustments incident to new alignments and the admission of new personnel is being watched over and directed by the forty-nine masters who are in charge of minor ashrams either ashrams with what is regarded as a full complement of workers, or ashrams in process of attaining that full comp

r adjustments incident to new alignments and the admission of new personnel is being watched over and directed by the forty-nine masters who are in charge of minor ashrams either ashrams with what is regarded as a full complement of workers, or ashrams in process of attaining that full complement, or embryonic ashrams of which there are already quite a few. one of the results of this hierarchical alignment and adjustment will be the establishment, for the first time, of a fluid interplay and movement between the three planetary centres. chohans are today passing out of the hierarchy into the council chamber of the lord of the world, or on to one or other of the seven paths; senior masters in charge of ashrams are taking higher grades of initiation and taking the rank of chohans; initiates

hnically "the stage of the forerunner. it is preparatory in nature, testing in its methods, and intended to be revelatory in its techniques and results. you can see therefore that chohans, masters, initiates, world disciples, disciples and aspirants affiliated with the hierarchy are all at this time passing through a cycle of great activity. in the adjustment necessitated by the rapidly advancing alignment, the members of the hierarchy are fitting themselves for the objective work of public expression. this entails far more difficulty than you might imagine or anticipate, because it entails the development of that form of "resistance to the pull of the lower vibration" of which you can know nothing, for that lower vibration is a necessary aspect of your normal expression little as you may

cause it exists for humanity and for the animal kingdom, to traverse this region of glamour and then to "demonstrate light in dissipating fog" in a manner for which there has hitherto been no call. none of this information may make much sense to you, but i am simply seeking to go on record for the sake of those who will come after you. there is little more that i may give you anent adjustment and alignment within the hierarchy. it is rapidly proceeding, and just in so far as disciples demonstrate upon the outer physical plane and in the three worlds their affiliation with an ashram will they share in this dual process. are you prepared for this? in connection with the council chamber of sanat kumara, the lord of the world as this subject concerns one of the seven goals towards which the ma

tance, concerns the "centre where the will of god is known. here at shamballa work those who have unified their personality will and their spiritual will with the universal will, and such a unification inevitably brings knowledge. it is, however, not knowledge as you understand it. it is a blend of wisdom based on knowledge, understanding based on intuitive perception, and identification based on alignment, esoterically comprehended. for this peculiar condition or awareness we have no word in any language, and only the utilisation (the trained utilisation) of the abstract mind can possibly convey to you even an embryonic factual conception. but that type of imaginative conception will become more common during the next two centuries, and my words here will therefore serve an ultimate purpo

han that it would be useless for me to say. this problem of the apparently impenetrable darkness of intention as grasped by shamballa, of meaning, of inscrutability, of a spiritual imperviousness which holds, in spite of all fluctuations in the three worlds of human evolution and the remaining two of superhuman unfoldment, provides a situation to which the hierarchy has to make adjustment through alignment. you are, in your small way, making your adjustment to the hierarchy through a steady construction of the antahkarana, and in so doing are aiding in the construction of the antahkarana which unites humanity and the hierarchy the first few strands of which were established through the sacrifices of certain of the sons of god when the hierarchy was founded on earth. today, the hierarchy is

he process of 'unveiling' so that one by one those bodies which veil the self are brought to a point where they are simply transparencies, permitting the full shining forth of the divine nature. an expansion of consciousness, which is brought about through the ability of the self to identify with its real nature as the onlooker, and no longer regarding itself as the organ of perception. iii. a re-alignment of the lower sheaths so that the contact with the real man, the thinker, the solar angel, on the higher levels of the mental plane may become complete and continuous. this only becomes possible as the other two points are beginning to be grasped and the theory as to man's constitution and purpose is somewhat understood. as meditation is practiced, as the lower bodies are painstakingly do

r leading somewhere, a way of escape, a place through which the soul imprisoned in the body can emerge and pass into higher states of consciousness, untrammelled by form limitations; it has also been called "the funnel or the channel for the sound; it has been named the "trumpet through which the escaping a.u.m. can pass" the ability to use this door or channel is brought about by the practice of alignment; hence the emphasis laid upon this exercise in the attempt to train aspirants and disciples. once alignment has been achieved, it will be realised (remembering the symbolism of the head, the light and the central opening) that many occasions arise in meditation when "behind the group there stands the door; before them opens out the way" this is the lower correspondence of the higher init

appearance, finally, behind the initiate. this time the door must be found upon the mental plane, and not as earlier upon the etheric level; this is brought about by the aid of the soul and of the lower mind and through the revealing power of the clear cold light of the reason. when discovered, the "revelation of a terrible though beautiful experiment" faces the initiate. he finds that this time alignment is not his need, but the definite undertaking of a creative work the building of a bridge between the door which lies behind and the door which lies ahead. this involves the construction of what is technically the antahkarana, the rainbow bridge. this is built by the disciple-in-training upon the basis of his past experience; it is anchored in the past and firmly grounded in the highest

hree lower aspects has its own note and it is these notes which produce the sounding forth of the three demands which evoke response from the spiritual triad and thus reach the monad in its high place of waiting in shamballa. in 1922, in my book letters on occult meditation i laid the foundation in my first chapter for the more advanced teaching which i am now giving. there i was dealing with the alignment of the ego with the personality, and this was the first time that the entire theme of alignment was brought definitely into focus, for alignment is the first step towards fusion, and later towards the mysteries of identification. let me quote "as time progresses, and later with the aid of the master, harmony of colour and tone is produced (a synonymous matter) until eventually you will h

tasks that of hastening the coming of the avatar who waits for the perfected work of the hierarchy, focussed in the christ, and the powerful work of shamballa, focussed in the lord of the world. when the exact moment has arrived, the work of the buddha, representing shamballa, and of the christ, representing the hierarchy, plus the sincere demand of humanity, will bring about an arrangement or an alignment which will release an evocative sound which will be extra-planetary, and then the avatar will come. ask me not for the date or the hour, brother of mine, for i know it not. it is dependent upon the appeal the voiceless appeal of all who stand with massed intent; it is dependent also upon the hour of exact alignment and upon certain aspects of work being done at this time by the senior me

the rays and the initiations copyright 1998 lucis trust there is no initiation for the disciple until he has begun consciously to build the antahkarana, thus bringing the spiritual triad and the mind as the highest aspect in the three worlds into a close relationship; later, he brings his physical brain into a position of a recording agent upon the physical plane, thus again demonstrating a clear alignment and a direct channel from the spiritual triad straight through to the brain via the antahkarana which has linked the higher mind and the lower. this involves much work, much interpretive capacity and much power to visualise. i am choosing my words with care. this visualisation is not necessarily concerned with form and with concrete mental presentations; it is concerned with a pictorial

oes forth. the invocation of humanity can and will and must evoke response from the spiritual hierarchy and give the first demonstration upon a large scale of this new esoteric science esoteric because it is based upon sound. hence the use of the o.m. into this science i cannot here go; we must confine our attention to our theme, which is the science of the antahkarana. the bridge as the agent of alignment the word "alignment" is used much in modern esoteric training. i would point out that in making his alignment, the aspirant is only establishing the first stage of his process of realisation; he is establishing in his own consciousness the fact of his essential dualism. i would also point out that the critical aspect of this process is only arrived at when the distinction is sharply defi

planetary logos (though not unrestricted as regards that greater life which moves within still other and greater defined limits) are both understood and expressed. within the planetary ring-pass-not the initiate moves with freedom and knows no limitation in consciousness. that is why the higher levels of our planetary and systemic planes are called formless. it is this which is the true symbol of alignment, involving as it does the sense of duality but indicating at the same time the way through what are called "the walls of limitation" students would do well to consider the building of the antahkarana as an extension in consciousness. this extension is the first definite effort made upon the path to bring in the monadic influence with full awareness, and finally directly. this process con

rst definite effort made upon the path to bring in the monadic influence with full awareness, and finally directly. this process constitutes the individual parallel to the present inflow of force from shamballa, about which i have elsewhere spoken. that highest centre of energy upon our planet is now having a definite effect upon that centre which we call humanity. this is brought about by direct alignment, and not via the hierarchy as has hitherto been the case. when the individual antahkarana has been successfully started, and there is even a tenuous thread of living energy connecting the threefold personality and the spiritual triad, then the inflow of the will-energy becomes possible. this, in the early stages, can be most dangerous when not offset by the love energy of the soul. only

ossible. this, in the early stages, can be most dangerous when not offset by the love energy of the soul. only one thread of the threefold antahkarana passes through the egoic lotus. the other two threads relate themselves directly with the triad, and hence eventually with the monad, the source of the triadal life. this is true of the individual and of humanity as a whole, and the effects of this alignment can be seen demonstrating in the world at this time. this rather unexpected responsive activity has necessitated much increased activity on the part of the hierarchy, in order to offset the consequences of any premature inflow of the will force. after the third initiation, when the soul body, the causal body, starts to dissipate, the line of relation or of connection can be and is direct

d and assimilated. but the time has not yet come for the comprehension of the above information. disciples and aspirants grow through the means of a presented vision unattainable as yet but definitely an extension of the known and previously grasped. such is the mode of evolution, for it is ever a pressing forward towards the sensed. today, through human effort and hierarchical endeavour, a great alignment and linking up is taking place, and monad-soul-personality are being more directly related than has hitherto been possible. one reason for this is that there are present in incarnation upon the planet many more initiates of the third degree than ever before; there are many more disciples being prepared for the third initiation; and in this third strictly human race, the aryan (using this

grades) which must be used, and the three aspects of the mind the manasic permanent atom, the son of mind or ego, and the mental unit are all involved in the process. students would do well to learn that this process of building the antahkarana is one of the means whereby man, the trinity, becomes a duality. when the task is completed and the antahkarana is definitely built thus producing perfect alignment between the monad and its expression upon the physical plane the body of the soul (the causal body) is completely and finally destroyed by the fire of the monad, pouring down the antahkarana. there is then complete reciprocity between the monad and the fully conscious soul on the physical plane. the "divine intermediary" is no longer required. the "son of god who is the son of mind" dies

ccessors, the incas. how sophisticated were these nazcan primitives? what kind of knowledge must they have possessed to inscribe their gigantic signatures on the plateau? it seems, for a start, that they were pretty good observational astronomers at least according to dr phillis pitluga, an astronomer with the adler planetarium in chicago. after making an intensive computer-aided study of stellar alignments at nazca, she has concluded that the famous spider figure was devised as a terrestrial diagram of the giant constellation of orion, and that the arrow-straight lines linked to the figure appear to have been set out to track through the ages the changing declinations of the three stars of orion s belt.3 the real significance of dr pitluga s discovery will become apparent in 3 personal co

not have been built much earlier than the fifteenth century ad.9 dissenting opinions, however, have from time to time been expressed by a number of more daring but respectable scholars. in the 1930s, for example, rolf muller, professor of astronomy at the university of potsdam, found convincing evidence to suggest that the most important features of machu picchu possessed significant astronomical alignments. from these, through the use of detailed mathematical computations concerning star positions in the sky in previous millennia (which gradually alter down the epochs as the result of a phenomenon known as precession of the equinoxes, muller concluded that the original layout of the site could only have been accomplished during the era of 4000 bc to 2000 bc .10 in terms of orthodox histor

a curve on a graph (originally plotted out in paris in 1911 by the international conference of ephemerids) and from this graph it is possible to match angles and precise historical dates with confidence and accuracy. posnansky was able to date the kalasasaya because the obliquity cycle gradually alters the azimuth position of sunrise and sunset from century to century.4 by establishing the solar alignments of certain key structures that now looked out of true, he convincingly demonstrated that the obliquity of the ecliptic at the time of the building of the kalasasaya had been 23 8 48. when that angle was plotted on the graph drawn up by the international conference of ephemerids it was found to correspond to a date of 15,000 bc.5 of course, not a single orthodox historian or archaeologis

s: professor dr arnold kohlschutter of the university of bonn and dr rolf muller of the astrophysical institute of potsdam.6 at the end of their three years of work the scientists concluded that posnansky was basically right. they didn t concern themselves with the implications of their findings for the prevailing paradigm of history; they simply stated the observable facts about the astronomical alignments of various structures at tiahuanaco. of these, the most important by far was that the kalasasaya had been laid out to conform with observations of the heavens made a very long time ago much, much further back than ad 500. posnansky s figure of 15,000 bc was pronounced to be well within the bounds of possibility.7 if tiahuanaco had indeed flourished so long before the dawn of history, wh

ge ran from east to west. into it, linked by joints made to an advanced design, three subsidiary lines were channelled.5 after surveying the site thoroughly, the archaeologists admitted that they could not understand the purpose of this elaborate system of sluices and water-works.6 nor were they able to come up with an explanation for another enigma. this was the deliberate burial, along specific alignments, of five of the massive pieces of sculpture, showing negroid features, now widely identified as olmec heads. these peculiar and apparently ritualistic graves also yielded more than sixty precious objects and artefacts, including beautiful instruments made of jade and exquisitely carved statuettes. some of the statuettes had been systematically mutilated before burial. the way the san lo

st orientation might have been expected. it was therefore surprising that the architects who had planned teotihuacan had deliberately chosen to incline the street of the dead 15 30 east of north. there were several theories as to why this eccentric orientation had been selected, but none was especially convincing. growing numbers of scholars, however, were beginning to wonder whether astronomical alignments might have been involved. one, for example, had proposed that the street of the dead might have been built to face the setting of the pleiades at the time when it was constructed .4 another, professor gerald hawkins, had suggested 4 the ancient kingdoms of mexico, p. 67. graham hancock fingerprints of the gods 167 that a sirius-pleides axis could also have played a part.5 and stansbury

dvanced by santillana and von dechend in hamlet s mill, sellers has been hailed for having drawn attention to the need to use astronomy, and more particularly precession, for the proper study of ancient egypt and its religion.2 in her words: archaeologists by and large lack an understanding of precession, and this affects their conclusions concerning ancient myths, ancient gods and ancient temple alignments. for astronomers precession is a well-established fact; those working in the field of ancient man have a responsibility to attain an understanding of it. 3 it is sellers s contention, eloquently expressed in her recent book, the death of gods in ancient egypt, that the osiris myth may have been deliberately encoded with a group of key numbers that are excess baggage as far as the narrat

e minutes as opposed to three degrees) would have been immense. 1 the pyramids of egypt, p. 208. graham hancock fingerprints of the gods 270 overview of giza from the north looking south, with the great pyramid in the foreground. obviously, therefore, the ancient master-builders who had raised the pyramid at the very dawn of human civilization must have had powerful motives for wanting to get the alignments with the cardinal directions just right. moreover, since they had achieved their objective with uncanny exactness they must have been highly skilled, knowledgeable and competent people with access to excellent surveying and setting-out equipment. this impression was confirmed by many of the monument s other characteristics. for example, its sides at the base were all almost exactly the

t in the joint seems almost impossible; it is to be compared to the finest opticians work on a 20 skyglobe 3.6. 21 how the pyramids were built, p. 4-5. 22 secrets of the great pyramid, pp. 232, 244. 23 ibid, p. 17. graham hancock fingerprints of the gods 282 scale of acres. 24 of course, the jointing of the casing stones was by no means the only almost impossible feature of the great pyramid. the alignments to true north, south, east and west were almost impossible, so too were the near- perfect ninety-degree corners, and the incredible symmetry of the four enormous sides. and so were the engineering logistics of raising millions of huge stones hundreds of feet in the air. whoever they had been, therefore, the architects, engineers and stonemasons who had designed and successfully built th

, where the diagonal from corner to corner was equal to the length of the base, and where the width of the face was equal to half the diagonal of the base .32 confidently and efficiently fooling around with more than six million tons of stone, creating galleries and chambers and shafts and corridors more or less at will, achieving near-perfect symmetry, near-perfect right angles, and near-perfect alignments to the cardinal points, the mysterious builders of the great pyramid had found the time to play a great many other tricks as well with the dimensions of the vast monument. why did their minds work this way? what had they been trying to say or do? and why, so many thousands of years after it was built, did the monument still exert a magnetic influence upon so many people, from so many di

r-nested rectangles, i.e, from the outside in, wall, wall, moat, plinth. another notable and outstandingly unusual feature of the osireion was that it was not even approximately aligned to the cardinal points. instead, like the way of the dead at teotihuacan in mexico, it was oriented to the east of due north. since ancient egypt had been a civilization that could and normally did achieve precise alignments for its buildings, it seemed to me improbable that this apparently skewed orientation was accidental. moreover, although 50 feet higher, the seti i temple was oriented along exactly the same axis and again not by accident. the question was: which was the older building? had the axis of the osireion been predetermined by the axis of the temple or vice versa? this, it turned out, was an i

ment. what i found was that the shaft had been precisely targeted on al nitak, the lowest of the three belt stars, which crossed the meridian at altitude 45 degrees around the year 2475 bc.4 up to this point bauval s conclusions had been well within the chronological bounds set by orthodox egyptologists, who normally dated the construction of the great pyramid to around 2520 bc.5 if anything, the alignments the archaeo-astronomer had come up with suggested that the shafts had been built a little later, rather than earlier, than conventional wisdom allowed. as the reader is aware, however, bauval had also made another discovery of an altogether more unsettling nature. once again it involved the stars of orion s belt: they re slanted along a diagonal in a south-westerly direction relative to

egypt that had elevated osiris to the status of the high god of resurrection. that civilization was one that had few known antecedents, and none at all recognizable in the remote epoch of the eleventh millennium bc. if the osirian mythology had been transmitted across 8000 years, therefore, then what culture had transmitted it? and had this culture also been responsible for both the astronomical alignments proven to have been manifested by the pyramids: 10,450 bc and 2450 bc? these were among the questions i planned to put to robert bauval in the shadow of the pyramids. santha and i had arranged to meet him at dawn, at the mortuary temple of khafre, so that the three of us could watch the sun come up over the sphinx. 12 the egyptians. believed that they were a divine nation, and that they

450 bc and was still here in 2450 bc. maybe what happened was that some of the ways that this cult did things changed over time. maybe they used huge blocks in 10,450 bc and smaller blocks in 2450 bc. it seems to me there s a lot here that supports this notion, a lot that says very ancient cult, a lot of evidence that has just never been investigated. for example? well, obviously the astronomical alignments of the site. i ve been among the first to start looking into those properly. and the geology: the work that john west and robert schoch have been involved in at the sphinx. here are two sciences both hard, empirical, evidence-driven sciences that have never been applied to these problems before. but now that we have started to apply them, we re beginning to get a whole new reading on th
