far in advance of that of an adept as that adept's is in advance of animal man. this will be somewhat elaborated in the next section of our subject. with the ancient of days came a group of other highly evolved entities, who represent his own individual karmic group and those beings who are the outcome of the triple nature of the planetary logos. if one might so express it they embody the forces emanating from the head, heart, and throat centres, and they came in with sanat kumara to form focal points of planetary force for the helping of the great plan for the self-conscious unfoldment of all life. their places have gradually been filled by the sons of men as they qualify, though this includes very few, until lately, from our immediate earth humanity. those who are now the inner group ar

nation in the middle of the atlantean root-race. karmic affiliation with him was one of the predisposing causes, thus making this eventuality possible. his work concerns itself with the fostering and strengthening of that relation between spirit and matter, life and form, the self and the not-self, which results in what we call civilisation. he manipulates the forces of nature, and is largely the emanating source of electrical energy as we know it. being the reflection of the third, or creative aspect, energy from the planetary logos flows to him from the throat centre, and he it is who in many ways makes the work of his brothers possible. their plans and desires are submitted to him, and through him pass the instructions to a large number of the deva agents. thus you have will, love, and

ions, and then the disciples of every grade. the disciples are considered as affiliated with the lodge, but not as literally members of it. finally come those who are on probation, and who hope through strenuous effort to achieve affiliation. from another point of view we can consider the lodge members as existing in seven groups, each group representing one type of the sevenfold planetary energy emanating from the planetary logos. the triple division has first been given, as ever in evolution you have the major three (manifesting through the three departments) and then the seven, these seven showing again as a triple differentiation and a septenary. students must bear in mind that all that is herein imparted concerns the work of the hierarchy in connection with the fourth or human kingdom

d apart from each other. it concerns the mystery of electricity, and the production of light. the three higher planes concern the central forces or lives, the three lower concern the lesser forces or lives. we must bear this carefully in mind, remembering that to the occultist there is no such thing as substance, but only force in varying degrees, only energy of differentiated quality, only lives emanating from different sources, each distinctive and apart, and only consciousness producing intelligent effect through the medium of space. i would point out that the lord agni shows forth his fiery life on the atomic subplane of each plane; he shows forth as solar fire on the second, third and fourth, and as 'fire by friction' on the fifth, sixth and seventh. from the point of view of the micr

gher by a dual process: 1. his polarisation shifts from out of the lower three atoms into the triadal atoms. 2. the force which these atoms generate and embody is merged and blended into the higher force points. a permanent atom is the positive nucleus or germ substance to the sheath wherein it is found. it is that which is the basis of form-building, and it is literally a vibrant point of force, emanating from the second aspect of the monad, which aggregates to itself, and subsequently builds into form, the negative or third aspect. but it must here be remembered that this second aspect is itself dual, and that in considering the permanent atoms we are dealing with the feminine aspect of the second person. the spirillae therefore are but streams of force, or second aspect vitality which c

ind of solar fire (which vitalises the nine petals) becomes equally fierce, and when the electric spark at the innermost centre blazes out and can be seen, the entire causal body becomes radioactive. then the fires of substance (the vitality of the permanent atoms) escape from the atomic spheres, and add their quota to the great sphere in which they are contained; the fire of mind blends with its emanating source, and the central life escapes. this is the great liberation. the man, in terms of human endeavour, has achieved his goal. he has passed through the three halls and in each has transferred that which he gained therein to the content of his consciousness; he has in ordered sequence developed and opened the petals of the lotus first opening the lower three, which involves a process c

rld-plan is revealed within us..this revelation is only partial since each of us is only an individual instance of that which in full manifestation is universal."5(71) god reveals his purpose through the activity of the form. he does the same through the activity of the mind which impresses in its turn the brain, attuned to receptivity. later again, the mind becomes responsive to an illumination, emanating from the spirit aspect, and this we will shortly consider. this approaches very close to the oriental position which infers a "mind-stuff" which is thrown into activity from the outer world of human affairs by the agency of the senses, by the emotions and by other minds. this intense activity of the mind-stuff has to be definitely offset through concentration and meditation if the mind i

if the mind is to be brought into a condition wherein it can be refocussed and reoriented to another field of perception and another range of ideas. for the esotericists, therefore, the objective of the meditation (carried forward into its later stages) is that the mind should cease to register any form activity whatsoever, no matter of how high an order, but should begin to register impressions emanating from that steadily manifesting factor which we call (for lack of a better term) the mind of god, the universal mind. this mind is distinguished by a sense of wholeness, and of synthesis. the entire history of evolving humanity might be considered from the angle of this plan concept, and the focus of interest might be noted to be that of a growing consciousness in man of a universe which

ints to remember is that in both cases the triplicity of soul, mind, and brain must play their part, but with a differing orientation and attention. it becomes simply a question of focus. the brain is active in practically a subconscious manner towards the instincts and habits which guide our physical plane life and appetites. through right education, it learns to be receptive towards impressions emanating from the mind, and instead of being only a sensory register or recorder, it learns to respond to thought impressions. the mind in its turn has an instinctive tendency to record all outer information, but can be trained to be receptive towards the soul, and to register information coming from that higher source. in time we can acquire facility and practice in utilizing either brain or min

(out of the realm of awareness of the brain and the mind) and the mystic passes into the contemplative state, wherein he functions as the soul, and realizes himself as a knower. the nature of the soul is knowledge and light, and its realm of existence is the kingdom of god. all the time that this identification with the soul continues, the mind is held steady and refuses all response to contacts emanating from other states of awareness, such as those coming from the emotional and physical worlds. absorbed in union with god, transported into the "third heaven (like st. paul) and contemplating the beatific vision of reality, he knows nothing, sees nothing, hears nothing except the phenomena which are appropriate to the world in which he is living. but in that world, he hears, and sees, and

ing and contacts. this mind has recorded and stored up much of which he remains for years totally unaware. then he begins to meditate and suddenly taps the depths of his own nature and penetrates to the resources of his own subconsciousness and to information which has dropped below the threshold of his ordinary consciousness. he begins to write assiduously. why he should regard these thoughts as emanating from the christ, or from some great teacher is a puzzle. it probably feeds his pride again quite unconsciously to feel he is a channel through which the christ can communicate. i am not referring here to the mass of automatic writings which are so popular now. i am supposing that the student of meditation refuses to have anything to do with this kind of dangerous work. no true aspirant

dication that the race is beginning also to bridge the gap between the objective and the subjective, between the world of form and the world of ideas. this leads inevitably to the emergence of the third branch of knowledge, the intuitive. the intuition is in reality only the appreciation by the mind of some factor in creation, some law of manifestation and some aspect of truth, known by the soul, emanating from the world of ideas, and being of the nature of those energies which produce all that is known and seen. these truths are always present, and these laws are ever active, but only as the mind is trained and developed, focussed, and open-minded can they be recognized, later understood, and finally adjusted to the needs and demands of the cycle and time. those who have thus trained the

ss which is strictly individual and identified. this aspect of the life principle works through the etheric or vital body and, in connection with the solid mechanism of the tangible form, through the spleen. therefore let us remember that the definition of spirit is not possible of accomplishment, nor is the definition of god. when one says that spirit is the inexpressible, undefinable cause, the emanating energy, the one life and source of being, the totality of all forces, of all states of consciousness and of all forms, the aggregate of life and that which is actively manifested of that life, the self and the not-self, force, and all that force motivates, one is in reality evading the issue, attempting the impossible and hiding truth behind a form of words. this cannot however be avoide

before the light he sees in the distance can be approached, and then enter within him. then he can know himself as light itself, and walk in that light and transmit it likewise to others. it is perhaps well to remember that the stage of discipleship is in many ways the most difficult part of the entire ladder of evolution. the solar angel is unceasingly in deep meditation. the impulses of energy, emanating from him are increasing in vibratory rate and are becoming more and more powerful. the energy is affecting more and more the forms through which the soul is- 38- a treatise on white magic copyright 1998 lucis trust seeking expression, and endeavouring to control. this brings me to the consideration of the seventh point i made in my earlier analysis of rule i. i said "the soul's meditatio

can be practically demonstrated if those who are interested in this treatise on the seven rays can attune themselves to think clearly, and with a poised and illumined mind seek to understand what is relatively a new aspect of truth. in undertaking to reveal something anent the nature of the seven rays, i feel it necessary to remind all of you who take up this study that any speculation as to the emanating source of the rays must remain profitless until there is developed within each student that apparatus of response and that sensitive mechanism which will enable him to register a wider field of contacts than is at present possible. many are as yet in the initial stage of registering an awareness of a field of expression which they know exists the field of soul awareness but which is not

d art. the main function of this being is the creation of beauty (as an expression of truth) through the free interplay of life and form, basing the design of beauty upon the initial plan as it exists in the mind of the solar logos. the body of manifestation- 21- a treatise on the seven rays- volume i: esoteric psychology i copyright 1998 lucis trust of this life is not revealed, but the activity emanating from it produces that combination of sounds, colours and word music that expresses through the form of the ideal that which is the originating idea. this fourth lord of creative expression will resume activity upon the earth about six hundred years hence, though already the first faint impress of his influence is being felt and the next century will see a re-awakening of creative art in

subjective synthesis. man can therefore eventually see, expressing itself through all forms in all kingdoms, a universal septenate, and when this happens, he is then entering into the world of subjective unity, and can proceed on his way consciously towards the one. he cannot as yet enter into the consciousness of that basic essential unity, but he can enter into that of his own ray-life, of the emanating source of his own temporarily specialised life. this triplicity of ideas requires careful study. it might be expressed thus: o. the one life. unity. o o o. the major three rays) o o o o. the minor four rays) making seven o. the unity of appearance with the one life we shall not concern ourselves. we accept it as a basic truth and we realise that we are on our way back from the unity of f

ankfulness at the growing responsiveness and sensitivity of man. that the first reaction and effect of such an outpouring of communications is oft an increase of spiritual pride and ambition, and that the stepping down of the teaching from the mind to the brain and from the brain into words and sentences often fails in adequacy is sadly true, and that there is frequently misapprehension as to the emanating source of the instructions is also true, for the lack of humility in man and the lack of a true sense of proportion are great. but out of this inflow from the subjective side of life are coming new knowledge, increased devotion to the plan, and those indications which will eventually bring us assurance. men will know, and know soon, that the soul is not an imaginary fiction, that it is n

uce separativeness, and nothing to feed the fires of controversy, antagonism or partisanship. much of value may come along other lines than through this group of communicators, and you may look for an increased flood of inspirational writings of a high order, and for an outpouring of wisdom from the world of souls through the hundreds who are in touch with their own souls; there will also be much emanating from the highest level of the astral plane, of a high order along devotional lines, but none of this will be the work of the band of communicators now in process of forming. only a handful are doing this work as yet, and the true influx of communicators will not start for another fifteen years. to return to our two questions, and particularly to the one concerning the value of studying t

rge or the desire aspect of divinity which lies at the root of the entire evolutionary process. this is recognised as an incentive and is more or less self-directed in the human family; it is blindly followed by the forms in the other kingdoms, who respond according to the nature of their response mechanisms to these varying urges. when we deal with the inflow of mental energy and with the forces emanating from the fifth plane of mind (higher mind, lower mind and the egoic intelligent entity) we enter more entirely into the domain of human evolution itself, and the vague word "consciousness" could well be superseded by the word "awareness" in varying degree man is aware, but only man is aware that he is aware. his response apparatus responds to, and is influenced by, all the contacts to wh

energy body, therefore, of every human being, is an integral part of the etheric body of the planet itself and consequently of the solar system. through this medium, every human being is basically related to every other expression of the divine life, minute or great. the function of the etheric body is to receive energy impulses and to be swept into activity by these impulses or streams of force, emanating from some originating source or other. the etheric body is in reality naught but energy. it is composed of myriads of threads of force or tiny streams of energy, held in relation to the emotional and mental bodies and to the soul by their co-ordinating effect. these streams of energy, in their turn, have an effect on the physical body and swing it into activity of some kind or another, a

ld in relation to the emotional and mental bodies and to the soul by their co-ordinating effect. these streams of energy, in their turn, have an effect on the physical body and swing it into activity of some kind or another, according to the nature and power of whatever type of energy may be dominating the etheric body at any particular time. through the etheric body, therefore, circulates energy emanating from some mind. with humanity in the mass, response is made unconsciously to the rulings of the universal mind; this is complicated in our time and age by a growing responsiveness to the mass ideas called sometimes public opinion of the rapidly evolving human mentality. within the human family are also found those who respond to that inner group of thinkers, who, working in mental matter

very human being, in or out of incarnation, is a "fragment of divinity" and an outpost of the divine consciousness, functioning in time and space for purposes of expression. 2. all these souls, selves, or human beings are found, as we have seen, on one or other of the seven emanations of spiritual energy, issuing forth from god at the beginning of an era of creative activity. they return to their emanating source when that particular cycle is brought to a close. 3. in the interim between emanation and reabsorption, these souls pass through various experiences until such time as they can "shine forth in all their exactitude of truth" 4. they are called, as has been stated, in a treatise on cosmic fire (see page 855) 1. lotuses of revelation. 2. lotuses with perfume. 3. radiant lotuses. 4. l

ll be superseded by the inflow of love, working with power through the brain and (incidentally) your general physical health will speedily improve. how shall this be brought about, my brother? the first stage is one of real difficulty, particularly to first ray people. it comes through the power of visualisation. that is why ritual is of value to such as you and masonry being on the first ray and emanating, consequently, from shamballa aids the process of visualisation. it gives colour and performance of a tangible kind to inner, subjective activity. visualisation is a powerful agent in the evocation of the creative imagination. let me here give you a hint. if you use this idea in the planning of the work which you seek to do for the hierarchy and for which we are seeking to hold you respo

in one of the latin countries, to carry out the tibetan's work and doing so most successfully. to s. s. p. may 1934 my brother: we are to work together for a while and i seek to help. your first objective is to set up an understanding relation with your group members and with myself. no groups belonging to the masters or affiliated with their ashrams, such as are now planned under the new impulse emanating from the inner side, can function adequately unless there is willing and voluntary cooperation between the units who compose the group. this is not always easy. you have been asking yourself on what grounds have you been chosen out of the many possible aspirants to do this particular work? partly for karmic reasons, my brother a karma that has touched mine at various points, and partly b

not know, my brother, that the disciple is ever balanced in endeavour and runs not to extremes of any kind? yet balanced effort has not characterised your work the past few months. you have been swept by an emotional thoughtform and the effect of the astral energy has been to increase the emotional devotion and the physical nervousness which have ever handicapped you. the effect of true teaching, emanating from mental levels, is to stabilise, to mentalise and to ground the disciple in spiritual being; to be is for you the goal. it is not the function of the true teacher ever to criticise. it is his function to watch over the chela and in the light of wisdom and compassion to aid him with instruction. i have today a few things to say to you and they must be briefly expressed because your fa

nds of the average intelligent god-accepting men of the world at this time. i would like to emphasise to you the necessity for your definitely grasping the plan as the new group of world servers grasp it, pondering on it and identifying yourself with it. at present, you grasp the plan as the men of goodwill grasp it: your grasp is not that of the new group of world servers who see the group as an emanating point; the man of goodwill sees himself as the emanating point. between these two positions there is a vast difference the difference between a centralised consciousness and a decentralised consciousness. the efficacy and the efficiency of all your future service depends upon your understanding this distinction, for it is vital and real. much of your present difficulty is based on the fa

itely orienting yourself to the life and status of the path of discipleship. this has involved, in your case, the careful training of yourself in selfless service, and the speeding up of the stimulation that your soul was imposing upon your personality and applying to your psychic nature. the first discipline you undertook willingly and understood well. it was definitely self-imposed. the second, emanating more directly from the soul, has caused you at times a certain amount of bewilderment, as all entry into the world of psychic events and psychic phenomena inevitably must. the focus of your attention being upon the soul and its life and world of being, it has been difficult for you at times to interpret other phenomenal happenings. with all this, however, be not unduly concerned. the fit

ed but a sense of futility must not take its place. the thoughtform of power is weakening. the thoughtform of intrigue received a bad blow during the episode of glamour in the early spring. but the forms still persist. you stand before them bewildered, anxious to do the right thing, blinded by the power of your own creations which shine with their own light, and blinded also by the blaze of light emanating from your own soul and from the group soul. but blinded and, seemingly, helpless. no one can help you, my brother. you yourself must let all things go, and become "the little child" spoken of in the bible. it is not for me or any teacher to tell you what to do. for one thing, you would do it, and in doing it learn naught. from within yourself must come the incentive, and from yourself mu

a distortion of the truth; his focus of consciousness has to be shifted from the threefold lower nature into that of the triad and this with the aid of the threefold soul nature. the mode of this progressive shifting is response to an ever higher rate of vibratory activity. just as soon as there exists, in the consciousness of the disciple, the ability to respond to the quality and the radiation, emanating from an ashram, he moves forward into that sphere of influence. that in his own aura which is akin to the quality of the master's aura is trained, intensified and purified. his own radiatory activity is enhanced as the ashramic life plays upon his vehicles until in time he becomes the chela within the aura. in a faint way, his vibration and that of the master tend to synchronise. i would

one, around which are grouped lesser thoughtforms, created by those who respond to these forms, and to their note, quality and tone. similarities are then seen to exist which constitute channels or avenues for the magnetic drawing power of the more potent thoughtforms. ancient theologies in modern garb, fixed presentations of half truth, the wild thinking of various world groups, and many similar emanating sources have down the ages produced the world of illusion and those mental states which have held humanity prisoner to wrong concepts and thoughts. so many are these thought producing illusions that the effect in the world today has been to cause a general division of the human race into varying schools of thought (philosophy, science, religion, sociology, etc, etc, into many parties and

the path. let me now elucidate these glamours for you a little more in detail. the glamour of materiality is the cause of all the present world distress, for what we call the economic problem is simply the result of this particular glamour. down the ages, this glamour has held the race increasingly interested, until today the entire world has been swept into the rhythm of money interest. a rhythm emanating from soul levels has always existed, being established by those who have freed themselves from the control of material requirements, from the thraldom of money and the love of possessions. today that higher rhythm is commensurate with the lower rhythmic glamour, and hence the whole world is thinking in terms of the way out from this present material impasse. those souls who stand in the

this etheric energy, focussed in an individual etheric body, passes through two stages prior to the period of discipleship: 1. the stage wherein it assimilates the second force to which i referred the force, latent in the dense physical form, the energy of the atomic substance, thus producing a definite fusing and blending. this causes the animal nature to conform entirely to the inner impulses, emanating from the world of prana, where the entirely undeveloped man is concerned, or from the lower astral where the more developed or average man is concerned. 2. the moment, however, that an inner orientation towards the world of higher values takes place, then the etheric or vital force is brought into conflict with the lowest aspect of man, the dense physical body, and the battle of the lowe

e curious and unique quality of revelation, of immediate dissipation, and of illumination. the revelation vouchsafed is different to that of the intuition for it is the revelation of that which the glamour veils and hides, which is a revelation unique to the astral plane and conditioned by its laws. this particular utilisation of soul light takes the form of a focussed concentration of the light (emanating from the soul, via the mind) upon the state of glamour particular or specific, or general and world-wide so that the nature of the glamour is revealed, its quality and basis is discovered, and its power is brought to an end by a steady, prolonged period of concentration which is given to the dispelling of the condition. in our next section we will deal in detail with the technique of thi

ritation is exceedingly prevalent these days of nervous tension and it most definitely imperils progress and retards the steps of the disciple upon the way. it can produce dangerous group tension if present in any of you, and this induced group tension can interfere with the free play of the power and light which you are supposed to use, even when the other group members remain unconscious of the emanating source. irritation definitely generates a poison which locates itself in the region of the stomach and of the solar plexus. irritation is a disease, if i might use that word, of the solar plexus centre and it is definitely contagious to an almost alarming extent. so, my brothers, watch yourselves with care and remember that just in so far as you can live in the head and in the heart, you

he illusory presentation, and thus the intuitively perceived revelation becomes a distorted, twisted doctrine. theological interpretations and dogmas fall into this category and there ensues a re-enactment of the ancient drama of the blind leading the blind, to which christ referred as he faced the theologians of his time. the above statements are true of all revelation as it comes forth from the emanating centre of light, whether they concern so-called religious truth or scientific discoveries or the great standard of spiritual values whereby advanced humanity of both hemispheres seek to live and which, from time to time, move on a step in significance and in importance. a. intuition dispels individual illusion today we have reached a crisis in the field of human apprehension and can now

the planetary logos himself. however, a consideration of the analogy existing between the microcosm and the macrocosm may help somewhat. the soul creates a threefold expression in the three worlds of human living. this is an occult truism. the outer form, the dual physical body (dense and vital or etheric) is produced, created, motivated, energised and conditioned by certain energies and forces, emanating from those levels whereon the soul has rightly or wrongly engineered a reaction of identification. note this phrase, my brother. these make the man what he is; they give him his temperament, profession and quality upon the physical plane; they make him negative or positive to various types of impacting energy; they give him his character and make him what he appears to be to others; they

olar plexus leading to emotional satisfaction of some kind? is it to be responsive to the mind and work largely under the impulse of projected thought? is it perhaps to be directed by an energy greater than any of these but hitherto apparently impotent, the energy of the soul as an expression of pure being? is it to be swept into action under the impulse of sentient reactions, ideas and thoughts, emanating from other human beings or is it to be motivated and spurred into activity under the direction of the spiritual hierarchy? such are some of the questions to which answers must be found. the stage of aspiring, dreaming and of wishful thinking must now be superseded by direct action and by the carefully planned use of the available forces, swept into activity by the breath, under the direc

medium of some projected and presented thought, expressing some sensed and determined idea. where this background of idealistic thought is lacking, then the results of the breath will be practically nil or where there are results of any kind under these circumstances they will be in no way concerned with thought but will be psychic in nature. they can then produce lasting psychic trouble, for the emanating source of the activity is astral and the projected energy goes to centres below the diaphragm, thus feeding the lower nature, enriching and strengthening its astral content and thereby enhancing and deepening glamour. the results can also be physiological, producing the stimulation of the etheric body leading to the strengthening of the physical nature; this often leads to serious result

uld do well to avoid any concentration at all upon the physical body and learn gradually to shift their focus of- 156- glamour: a world problem copyright 1998 lucis trust attention into the etheric body. necessarily the physical body is active and potent but increasingly it should be regarded as an automaton, influenced and directed by: 1. the vital body and the forces of maya; or by inspiration, emanating from points of spiritual tension. 2. the astral vehicle and the forces of glamour; or sentient, conscious love, emanating from the soul. 3. the mind and the forces of illusion; or by illumination, coming from higher sources than the life in the three worlds. 4. the soul, as the vehicle of monadic impression, until such time as the antahkarana is built that bridge in mental matter which w

me and space. it is, therefore, a much stronger and vital thing than what is usually meant when the word is used. it is active repudiation without any concentration upon that which is repudiated. that is a statement of moment and warrants your careful consideration. it is concerned with the point of tension from which the observing disciple or aspirant is working. the point of tension becomes the emanating source of some type of energy, and this pours down into and through the etheric body without being in any way affected by maya or by the concentration of diverse forces of which the etheric body is ever composed. indifference, technically understood, signifies direct descent from there to here, without deviation or distortion. the manifesting entity, the disciple, stands steady and firm

energy body, therefore, of every human being is an integral part of the etheric body of the planet itself and consequently of the solar system. through this medium, every human being is basically related to every other expression of the divine life, minute or great. the function of the etheric body is to receive energy impulses and to be swept into activity by these impulses, or streams of force, emanating from some originating source or other. the etheric body is in reality naught but energy. it is composed of myriads of threads of force or tiny streams of energy, held in relation to the emotional and mental bodies and to the soul by their coordinating effect. these streams of energy, in their turn, have an effect on the physical body and swing it into activity of some kind or another, ac

eld in relation to the emotional and mental bodies and to the soul by their coordinating effect. these streams of energy, in their turn, have an effect on the physical body and swing it into activity of some kind or another, according to the nature and power of whatever type of energy may be dominating the etheric body at any particular time. through the etheric body, therefore, circulates energy emanating from some mind. with humanity in the mass, response is made unconsciously to the rulings of the universal mind; this is complicated in our time and age by a growing responsiveness to the mass ideas called sometimes public opinion of the rapidly evolving human mentality. within the human family are also found those who respond to that inner group of thinkers who, working in mental matter

k, and the fear of failure, are the surest ways to offset fruitful effort. in all such work as this, an attitude of non-attachment and a spirit of `don't care' are of real assistance. experimenters along this line need to give more time and thought to the recognition of types of force. they need to realise that emotion, and desire for anything, on the part of the receiving agent create streams of emanating energy which rebuff or repulse that which seeks to make contact, such as the directed thought of someone seeking rapport. when these streams are adequately strong, they act like a- 6- telepathy and the etheric vehicle copyright 1998 lucis trust boomerang and return to the emanating centre, being attracted back there by the power of the vibration which sent them forth. in this thought lie

ALICE A BAILEY19 THE UNFINISHED AUTOBIOGRAPHY

iritual hierarchy on our planet was that a group was in process of formation that had in it the nucleus of the coming world civilisation and was characterised by the qualities that would distinguish that civilisation during the next 2,500 years. these qualities are primarily a spirit of inclusiveness, a potent desire selflessly to serve one's fellowmen plus a definite sense of spiritual guidance, emanating from the inner side of life. this new group of world servers includes two definite divisions. the first part of the group has a close relationship to the spiritual hierarchy. it is composed of aspirants working towards discipleship under the guidance of certain of the masters' disciples who, in their turn, are directed and guided by a few world disciples whose work is on such a large sca

we have the appearance of the scapegoat in jewish history. we have the bible story of the ram caught in the thicket and all this was due to the influence of the passing of the sun through the sign of the bull and the sign of the ram. something apart from the findings of academic astrology, which even at present could only touch a very few people, produced these natural reactions. some influence, emanating from the sign of the bull and the sign of the ram produced the symbology which conditioned the religious life of the people of that era. this becomes still more apparent when the sun transitted into the next constellation, the sign of pisces the fishes. then we had the appearance of christ and the fish symbology which ran so characteristically through the entire gospel story. his discipl

actions which produce discomfort, disease or death. in the three laws which i have given you and which you now have before you for consideration, it is obvious that the following facts emerge. these should form the basis of your reflection: 1. disease is the result of the blocking of the free flow of the life of the soul. 2. it is the product, or the result, of three influences: a. ancient error, emanating from the past history of the person involved. b. human taints, inherited because one is a member of the human family. c. planetary evil, imposed upon all forms on earth by the basic condition, and by time. 3. it is conditioned by the forces emanating from that plane whereon a man's consciousness is primarily centred. to the above statements should be added a further fact, already mention

substantial form prepares itself for separation from the soul. it must be borne in mind however that where there is illness or discomfort or disease which is not related to the final dissolution, the causes thereof are to be found in many factors; they can be found in the surroundings, for a number of diseases are environmental and epidemic; in the tuning in of the individual to streams of poison emanating from world hate, or from psychological complexes with some of which we have already dealt, and in the diseases (if i might so call them) which are indigenous to the matter of which humanity has chosen to construct its physical vehicle, isolating it and separating it from the general substance of manifestation, and thus creating a type of matter which is consecrated to the task of forming

luences or sources of contamination: a. ancient mistakes, so-called sins and errors of the individual concerned, committed in this life or another earlier incarnation. b. human taints and predispositions, inherited in common with all the rest of humanity. c. planetary evil, incident to the point achieved by the planetary logos and conditioned by planetary karma. 3. it is conditioned by the forces emanating from the plane upon which the man's consciousness is primarily focussed. 4. the five major types of disease, with their allied and subsidiary effects, can and do produce results where the disciple is concerned; he is not immune until after the third initiation. a. the diseases of mystics. however, the disciple is seldom tubercular (except when karmically conditioned, nor is he prone to s

oft forgotten. it is a victim of personality life or the triumphant expression of soul energy. it is for this reason that the science of psychology will, during the next two centuries, dominate modern- 115- a treatise on the seven rays- volume iv: esoteric healing copyright 1998 lucis trust medical science, except in the category of those diseases with which we will deal in our next section those emanating from group life, such as tuberculosis, venereal diseases and cancer. until the race is more definitely group conscious (something as yet far distant) it will not be possible to apply broad psychological generalisations to the diseases indigenous to our planet. we can, however, consider the handling of similar difficulties which arise in the individual unit; these are based on the conflic

ffects. these effects will be overcome but in the interim of adjustment whilst they are registering and expressing themselves, there will be much distress, physical and psychological, and all the major and minor difficulties to which humanity seems heir. in undeveloped humanity, the conflict (from the angle of consciousness) is practically nil; you have less susceptibility to the subtler diseases emanating from the three interlocking systems, but at the same time a much greater responsiveness to the three indigenous diseases, to infectious and contagious diseases, and to the great epidemics which sweep through nations and great planetary areas. as humanity develops, diseases become more personal (if i might express it in this manner) and are not so definitely related to the herd or mass co

2. the flow of energy through the head to the centres up the spine is uneven, owing to the fact that the inflow is uneven, and that the etheric web between the centres permits as yet only a very little energy to flow through to all the centres. it must be remembered that the life of the centres is founded, in the initial stage, upon the inherent life of the organism itself, with the focus of the emanating life to be found in the centre at the base of the spine. this is a point oft forgotten by esotericists. this basic centre is the one through which the life of matter itself works; this is the life or energy of the holy spirit aspect, the third aspect. through its life each atom in the body is fed. this process of animating the substance of the physical form is started in the prenatal sta

the major physical conditioning factor, the ductless glands. we can now briefly consider certain far more occult causes and deal with those which emanate from the group life of humanity and from the karmic liabilities of mankind. here we shall enter the realm of occult knowledge and of esoteric information, and this will be far more difficult for the orthodox thinker to accept. chapter ii- causes emanating from group life in considering disease and its basic causes, we have dealt particularly with those which concern our aryan race and modern humanity; these are largely astral in origin and might be described as atlantean in nature. we have briefly considered also the various diseases which originate upon the mental plane; these are more strictly aryan and involve also the ills to which di

of consciousness from the brain and its life thread from the heart, certain life processes still persist; they are now under the influence of the planetary life, however, and to these the physical elemental (the sumtotal of the living atoms of the body nature) is responsive. i would have you note the occult paradox that death is the result of living processes. death, or the death-producing energy emanating from the planet, brings about the complete disruption of the bodily organism and its reduction to its essential elements chemical and mineral, plus certain inorganic substances which are susceptible of absorption into the soil of the planet itself. death, as the result of soul activity produces, therefore, the withdrawing from the body of the "light body and of the subtle bodies" leaving

ent in all forms and is that innate urge or discontent which leads man to struggle and progress and evolve in order finally to make atonement and union with his soul. it is the lowest aspect of that higher spiritual and monadic triad which reflects itself in the soul. it is the consciousness of harmony and beauty which drives the human unit along the path of evolution to an eventual return to his emanating source. education must work, therefore, with this dissatisfaction and interpret it to those who are taught, so that they can understand themselves and work intelligently. 5. the attribute of concrete knowledge whereby man is enabled to concretise his concepts and so build thoughtforms whereby he materialises his visions and his dreams and brings his ideas into being. this he does through

active forces; he must learn to differentiate between strictly physical energy, which is automatic in its response to other and inner energies, and those which come from emotional and mental levels of consciousness, focussing through the etheric body which, in turn, motivates and galvanises his physical vehicle into certain activities. 2. to become sensitive to the impelling energies of the soul, emanating from the higher mental levels. these seek to control the forces of the threefold man when a certain definite point in evolution is reached. 3. to recognise the conditioning energies in his environment, seeing them not as events or circumstances but as energy in action; by this means he learns to find his way behind the scene of outer happenings into the world of energies, seeking contact

recognised facts of daily life would, a few hundred years ago, have been regarded as equally peculiar, incomprehensible and impossible. what is really taking place is the hastening of the processes of light manifestation, and this has become possible because of the point of attainment of humanity and the increased stimulation which is being applied to the race by the hierarchy, assisted by forces emanating from shamballa. the angle of personality control much that i could say here would simply be a repetition of that which you already know and have been taught. many of you who are reading my words here are steeped in the ideas which i have been seeking to impart to humanity for the past years, for it was in 1919 that i first started writing through the cooperation of a.a.b. in these writin

have only considered the service which disciples, aspirants and men of goodwill can render. v. i shall give you some clear and definite instructions anent the uses of the etheric body. this vehicle of vitality or energy is the ultimate conditioning factor in the activity of the physical body. it is an initiator, for there is no physical activity as we understand it unless impulsed by some energy emanating from the etheric body. an understanding of some of the processes of initiation will come from an understanding of the body of vitality. the etheric body is the organ whereby personality or soul expression becomes evidenced upon the physical plane. its potency is that which evokes the physical form. most of the vehicles have a dual capacity invocation and evocation. they also have a third

urces 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 impression, telepathically registered and coming from a multitude of thinkers and minds. these work both as individuals and as members of a group. there is also emotional inspiration to which in its most easily recognisable appearance we give the n

, telepathically registered and coming from a multitude of thinkers and minds. these work both as individuals and as members of a group. there is also emotional inspiration to which in its most easily recognisable appearance we give the name of aspiration. all these are, esoterically considered, evocative of desire, to be transmuted into will if (and only if "the energy of the will-to-good is the emanating principle and the actuating result of the inspired impulse; it must constitute the motivating impulse at the centre of the disciple's being" thus spoke one of the masters not long ago to a disciple who sought to grasp the synthetic effect of inspiration. it is the will and its immediate evocation which is the major need of this particular group of my disciples. the hierarchical plan is t

to the world, creating thoughtforms which will make clear-cut contact with other minds and which will bring about definite changes in the consciousness of humanity. this you do not as yet do, nor have you evidenced any desire so to work. i have waited to see if the initiating impulse would come from you without any prompting by me. i have waited in vain. i told you elsewhere that "an ashram is an emanating source of hierarchical impression upon the world. its `impulsive energies' and its inciting forces are directed towards the expansion of the human consciousness, through the magnetic lives of the group members as they carry on their duties, obligations and responsibilities in the outer world; it is aided also by the steady vibratory activity of the members of the ashram who are not in ph

hip are based upon vibratory reaction, and the potency of the united vibration of the disciples and aspirants of the world is today for the first time in human history strong enough to reach shamballa. this is a new and very interesting fact. the hierarchy therefore is: 1. in a position of extreme tension. 2. in a condition of quiescent waiting. it awaits: a. the decision which is on the verge of emanating from the judgment seat of sanat kumara. b. notification as to the period and mode of the coming externalisation. c. the proposed influx into its ranks of disciples and aspirants. d. the reaction, later to be sensed by them, of the massed use of the great invocation. e. the clear sounding of the invocative, though inchoate, cry of the masses of those who are not yet even upon the probatio

an when considering the work of the hierarchy in bringing this purpose as fully as possible into expression. in our studies over the years and in the books which i have put before the public with the help of a.a.b. and of f.b. and of all of you who have cooperated with them, we have primarily considered the effect of this divine intention, purpose and plan upon humanity, and this because the plan emanating from the hierarchy has to be implemented by mankind. hence the importance of their grasp and their understanding of the entire proposed programme. what, therefore, will be the quality of their reaction to what their developed understanding will reveal? what can they expect and what aspects or forms can the revelation be expected to take? are they to look for a sudden blaze of light, or s

w be taken in group form; this is something entirely new in the work of the hierarchy. not one by one do candidates stand before the initiator, but many so stand simultaneously. together they can think in complete accord; together they are tested, and together they reach the "point of triumph" which supersedes the "point of tension; together they see the "star shine forth" and together the energy emanating from the rod of initiation fits them for the reception of specialised energy, to be later used in their future world service. this group approach, this group intention, this "group silent reticence and vocal recognition" and this group dedication and vision are no longer in the experimental stage. this group achievement (i refer not here to your particular group which has not been outsta

ction will be mastered by them, and the first point of revelation will no longer be a revelation; they will be committed to an intelligent implementing of the plan upon the physical plane. the second point of revelation: the will is an expression of the law of sacrifice. the second point of revelation is of peculiar interest. it concerns the first contact of the initiated disciple with the energy emanating from shamballa and transmitted to him via the master of the ashram with which he is at this time associated. he has not yet reached the stage wherein direct contact is permitted, but still needs the ashramic protection which the master provides. at the indicated second initiation he receives a quality of stimulation which enables him to "see" the- 261- discipleship in the new age- volume

and will not enlarge upon it here. the outposts of that kingdom and the vanguard of disciples and initiates is already here. the work or the radiatory activity of the hierarchy is today more potent than at any time in human history. the masters and their disciples (under the guidance of the world teacher of that period) were physically present on earth in early atlantean times, and the radiation emanating from them was protective, guarding and nurturing. later, the hierarchy withdrew into a subjective expression and humanity was under the law of evolution left to its own devices thus to learn the way and tread the path of return through individual experiment and experience. the masters (in this long interim) have not come forth to contact humanity on any large or group scale; many of thei

ught you certain radical changes some of them as a result of the war and your personality reaction to that war, and a few of them as a consequence of soul impulse. these changes and their resultant readjustments have been so many and have been brought about with such relative suddenness that you have not yet had time to know with clarity (within yourself) the distinctiveness of each change or its emanating source. every change in a life condition upon the physical plane is the result of some inner cause. i hinted at this when i gave you the six statements which were intended to aid in the direction of your life. i said to you "learn that your causes are effects. leave them behind and seek the world of causes" these words embody one of the first lessons which a disciple has to master, as yo

to your consciousness. it was the impact of this shamballa force (which you can touch and to which you can intelligently respond) which was the main factor in bringing to the surface all the latent emotion and all the glamour which are today enveloping you. as you considered the theme of shamballa (and later rejected my suggestion to write upon it) you brought yourself in contact with the energy emanating from shamballa. yet, my brother, had you occupied yourself with my suggestion and dealt with the theme the way into shamballa much of that shamballa force would have been- 365- discipleship in the new age- volume ii copyright 1998 lucis trust transmuted along constructive lines and creative endeavour, and your condition would not be what it is today. you may well ask here: if all this is

ALICE A BAILEY23 THE EXTERNALISATION OF THE HIERARCHY

y upon the plane of illusion and therefore, as the old commentary says "they who work to bring in light and yet are surrounded by the maya of the senses, work from the point of present being and need not to move out or in, or up or down. they simply stand" the healers of the world upon the physical plane have to work upon that plane and their task is that of bringing through the energies of life, emanating from the soul plane, via the mind, but- 28- the externalisation of the hierarchy copyright 1998 lucis trust excluding the emotional. these energies have to be brought through into physical consciousness and, from the physical level, do their necessary and magnetic work. the task of the healers, if successful, involves: 1. the bringing through of healing divine energy. 2. the exclusion of

the intrinsic awareness of man is becoming, during this century, expressively divine. the two other forces which tend to increase the already prevalent tension in the world are: 4. the forces of materialism, streaming out into the three worlds from the so-called "dark forces" or black lodge, and from those groups of lives and workers which are the antithesis of the great white lodge. 5. the force emanating from that section of humanity which is found in every part of the world and which we call the jewish people. what i say here has no specific reference to any individual; i am considering the world problem, centering around the jews as a whole. these two forces greatly complicate the problem by which humanity and the hierarchy are faced, but it should be remembered that they also produce

disturbing. there is little that humanity can do about this except endeavour to balance this first ray display of energy with second ray or hierarchical force. this latter energy working through the world religions and the men and women who respond to the love influence can change methods (though not the purpose or the direction) by pouring in the love force. again, that force which we regard as emanating from the strictly human centre, the third ray type of energy, is of the third or creative order; and in these three energies you have, in reality, the expression of the three major centres of the planetary logos. the first or will energy is, as you know, focussed in sanat kumara, the ancient of days (as he is called in the christian bible, the lord of shamballa, who is the embodiment of

s world crisis is related to the approach or the relation of the hierarchy to humanity. that great spiritual centre of force, the human kingdom, has now reached a point of such potency and of such a high vibratory activity that it is shaken to its very depths; all its evolutionary grades and groups are responding to the stimulation, generated within the centre itself and also stimulated by forces emanating from the hierarchical centre and from shamballa. this precipitates a crisis which has had no parallel in human history but which finds a faint reflection in the crisis which overtook the animal kingdom and which resulted in the formation of a new kingdom in nature the human. as i have earlier told you, this present world crisis, if met correctly and rightly controlled, will result in the

e law of retribution, an entirely erroneous connotation has become attached to it. today, the karma of humanity is descending upon it. i would remind you, however, that the continuous emphasis laid upon the malevolent aspects of karma conveys a wrong impression and negates the full grasp of the truth. there is as much good karma as there is bad; even in the present world situation, the good karma emanating from the soul of humanity balances the evil which comes from the material aspect and is continuously over-emphasised. it is the rhythm of matter in contradistinction to the rhythm of the soul, and these constitute the initiating causes of the present conflict, both in individual lives and in the general world situation. when this is properly grasped, the true picture may emerge in your h

ction of this relationship between spiritually conscious man and the form aspect, and thus the great law of duality came into action, bringing about the "fall of the angels" as they descended from their sinless and free state of existence in order to develop full divine awareness upon earth, through the medium of material incarnation and the use of the principle of mind. this was the divine plan, emanating from the mind of god and swept into activity and progressive unfoldment by an act of his will. at its inception, there took place the original "war in the heavens" when the sons of god who responded to the divine urge to experience, to serve and to sacrifice, separated themselves from the sons of god who responded to no such inspiration but who chose to stay in their original and high st

he spiritual hierarchy exists, with all its potencies of love, wisdom and skill in action, or for ages humanity has suffered from hallucinations; either christ and his group of masters, initiates and disciples are facts in the natural processes of evolution, historically proven and known through their spiritual activity down the ages, or men have been victims during those ages of a gigantic fraud emanating from what and where? either the consistency of the evolving presentation of the spiritual effort of the hierarchy is a witness to a great reality or mankind has developed a mentality which is an instrument for the fabrication of non-existent facts, and this is in itself so paradoxical as to give the lie to the inference. either the spiritual worlds and the three worlds of human endeavour

the last analysis, it is this interference with individual and group freedom which is the worst sin of the evil men who seek at this time to enslave the weaker nations and bend them to the rule of germany, depriving them of their national assets and means of subsistence, and wresting from them by force and fear their dearest possessions, liberty of life and conscience. all great ideas have their emanating sources of life, therefore, and these are called in the ancient invocation with which we are occupied "lords of liberation" they are three in number, and one of them is closer to the earth and to humanity than are the other two, and it is he who can be- 175- the externalisation of the hierarchy copyright 1998 lucis trust reached by those who comprehend the nature of freedom and who desir

ack adepts. this started in atlantean times and must now be fought out to a finish. with the details of this struggle (fought on mental levels) you have no concern, except in so far as you and the rest of mankind react to lies or to truth. two streams of mental energy or of thought-directed ideas impinge powerfully at this time upon the human consciousness. one is embodied in the lying propaganda emanating from the axis powers and affecting potently not only their own peoples but the selfish politicians, the intolerant and the racially conditioned people, and the well-intentioned but short-sighted appeasers and pacifists. the second stream is embodied in the idealism, the humanitarianism, and the clear presentation of the factual situation which characterise the best minds in every nation

of spiritual desire and aspiration is phenomenal today, could you but see the indications as the workers on the inner side do. our master, the christ, is also at this time carrying forward three major activities. i can tell you briefly what they are, but only the disciples of the world will grasp the true implications. he is, first of all, occupied with the process of deflecting the will-energy, emanating from shamballa, in such a way that it will not be seized upon and misused by the axis powers in order to stiffen their peoples into increased opposition to the forces of light. it must be rechannelled- 286- the externalisation of the hierarchy copyright 1998 lucis trust and used to stiffen the purpose of the united nations to carry the war to a finish of victory and of triumph, to increa

an's attention is normally focussed on the externalities of living. nevertheless, all great discoveries, such as those made in connection with astronomy or in relation to the laws of nature or involving such a revelation as that of radio-activity or the epoch-making event announced this week concerning the first steps taken in the harnessing of cosmic energy, are ever the result of inner pressure emanating from forces and lives found in high places. such inner pressures themselves function under the laws of the spirit and not just under what you call natural laws; they are the result of the impelling work of certain great lives, working in connection with the third aspect of divinity, that of active intelligence, and are concerned with the substance or matter aspect of manifestation. such

tood in silence behind world events, occupied with the following work a work which will eventually be carried on exoterically instead of esoterically: 1. the hierarchy stands as a wall between humanity and excessive evil. forget not that as humanity is thus protected that protection extends to all the subhuman kingdoms, of which the fourth kingdom, the human, is the macrocosm. the excessive evil, emanating from cosmic sources, requires the trained skill of the hierarchy and the fiat of shamballa to prevent it flooding over disastrously. 2. the hierarchy works constantly at the task of awakening the consciousness aspect in all forms, so that it is awakened, expanded and intelligently employed. 3. the hierarchy directs world events, as far as mankind will permit (for the free will and free d

sciples. for aeons and for cycles, the members of the hierarchy have been submitting themselves to the needed training in order to react correctly when fuller contact has been established by shamballa with the hierarchy. i would have you note the phrasing here. that contact has now been established as a result of the inflow of certain extra-planetary forces and by an "act of determined direction" emanating from the council chamber of the lord of the world. misunderstand me not. the hierarchy has always been in touch with the "place of purpose (as it has been called) through the medium of its chohans and its senior directors, such as the christ, the manu and the lord of civilisation. these great beings have steadily revealed this purpose to the members of the hierarchy so that they have bee

to labour at this time (october 1942) because the coming few days are exceedingly busy ones for me as they are for all members of the hierarchy. i seek to give you some further instructions anent the hierarchy itself*(1) students at this time would do well to remember that all basic and fundamental changes taking place upon the physical plane are necessarily the result of inner subjective causes, emanating from some level of the divine consciousness, and therefore from some plane other than the physical. the fact that tremendous and unusual upheavals are taking place in the kingdoms of nature is attributed by men to other men or to certain forces generated by human thinking, frailty and ambition. is it not possible that these changes are being brought about as the result of certain profoun

subjective forces and inflaming energies. it is of course not possible for me to give you any true picture of the interior events and happenings in the life of our planetary being. i can only indicate and point out that the world situation is simply an embodiment of the reaction and the response by mankind to great paralleling and originating happenings which involve the following groups: 1. the emanating avatar and his relationship to the lord of the world, our planetary logos. 2. the lords of liberation, focussed in their high place, as they become conscious of the invocation of humanity and become more closely related to the three buddhas of activity. 3. the great council at shamballa and the planetary hierarchy. 4. the buddha and his arhats as they unitedly cooperate with the christ a

hrams of the masters. it is this new approach to life conditions, as a result of the inflow of new energies, which is producing the universal trend towards group awareness, and its highest result in the human family is the taking the first steps towards group initiation. such a thing as group initiation was never heard of prior to the present time, except in connection with the higher initiations emanating from the shamballa centre. group initiation is based upon a uniform and united group will, consecrated towards the service of humanity and based upon loyalty, cooperation and interdependence. in the past, the emphasis was upon the individual, his training and approach to initiation, and his solitary admittance to the temple of initiation. but this individual concentration will, in the fu

ual reality are lost. today, the word of the soul is being found again, and with that finding the little self is lost in the glory and the radiance of the divine self. this discovery is consummated at the time of the third initiation. the initiate and the master, along with those of higher rank who are approaching identification with shamballa, are steadily and ever more clearly hearing the sound emanating from the central spiritual sun and penetrating all forms of divine life upon our planet via our planetary logos who hears it with clarity and with understanding the sound of the lowest syllable of the ineffable name of the- 35- a treatise on the seven rays- volume v: the rays and the initiations copyright 1998 lucis trust one in whom all the planetary logoi live and move and have their b

the seven ray qualities brought into expression. the relation of spirit and matter produced this ordered process which again, cyclically and under law, creates the manifested world as a field for soul development and as an area wherein divine purpose is wrought out through the medium of the plan. again i call your attention to the distinction existing between purpose and plan. this is the aspect, emanating from shamballa, and inherent also in form (as are the other two, which eventually relates the human will, through the right use of the mind, to the organised planning of his separate and individual life in the three worlds, and which eventually relates and reorients that will to the will of god. these three energies are faintly symbolised for us in the life of christ when overshadowing t

pirants and disciples to ponder upon the destructive purpose of god a purpose which is motivated by love, guided by a balanced judgment as to form, and which cherishes and fosters the life and its resultant spiritual values. there is an inherent destructive energy in matter itself and an energy of very great potency; it is with this energy that the axis powers are working. the destructive energy, emanating from "the bright centre" shamballa, is something very different, and i would ask you to remember this. the destroying power of spirit is not the same as that of matter. a human being destroys his own form again and again through the evil which he does and by the material focus of his desires; the following of a life of vice will breed disease, as is well known. the disciple can also dest

ain measure of understanding. the words of importance are: 3. let then the group merged in the fifth be nourished by the sixth and seventh- 84- a treatise on the seven rays- volume v: the rays and the initiations copyright 1998 lucis trust in other words "then let the group which is identified with the soul find its sustenance and vitality by the inflow of the intuition and of the spiritual will, emanating from the spiritual triad" there are, of course, other meanings, but this is the most practical for disciples. a larger but similar concept lies in the realisation that the human family, the fourth kingdom in nature, is absorbed by the fifth or by the kingdom of god and (when this is the case) can become increasingly en rapport with the sixth and seventh kingdoms. to these kingdoms no nam

ll eventually enable the man to achieve perfection. they enable the individual to respond to material forces, to soul energy and spiritual life, and they constitute a complete response apparatus to the planetary life, purpose, intent and form. each of the seven centres is responsive to one or other of the seven rays and their qualities under the conditioning energy of the soul ray and the forces, emanating from the environment. these centres develop progressively and under the impact of circumstances and the law of the supplementary seven, but all will eventually express in some measure the seven types of ray energy. the law of the supplementary seven can be worded as follows "the law demands the entrance of that which can effect a change. the law demands that right direction should then g

ted via the hierarchy. for the first time, and in this century there has been direct impact. the diagram on page 160 may make this clearer. we shall eventually have a free circulation and a veritable vortex of force set up between the three centres; it will be of such an increasing radiatory activity that moving in both directions around the three centres it will eventually contact the radiations emanating from the other four centres of the planetary life, thus completing the interplay and the interrelation between all seven. these four include the three lower kingdoms of nature and a certain basic centre (corresponding to the centre at the base of the spine in man) about which nothing is as yet known nor will be known for ages to come. diagram the importance, therefore, of the centre whic

with no less of devotion to the christ. what the buddha had instituted symbolically and in embryo became factual and existent under the demands of the piscean age. 3. the third great change has been in the relation of the hierarchy to shamballa, and of this you can necessarily know and understand little. i could perhaps express the underlying significance to you in symbolic language. the energy, emanating from shamballa, has been divided into two direct and distinctive streams. one stream, embodying the dynamic of purpose, is now pouring into the hierarchy and into its seven major ashrams; another stream, embodying the dynamic of determination or of enlightened enthusiastic will, is reaching humanity direct, via the new group of world servers. hitherto a blended stream of shamballa force

hannel of communication between the hierarchy and humanity, and the forming simultaneously of the network of goodwill, which is the objective expression of the subjective influence of light. ponder on this statement. 6. the attempt to form an exoteric branch of the inner ashrams. this is evidenced in the work i have done with a special group of aspirants and accepted disciples whose instructions, emanating from my ashram, have been embodied in the book discipleship in the new age (vols. i and ii. 7. teaching upon the new world religion, with its emphasis upon the three major full moon periods (aries, taurus, gemini, falling usually in april, may and june respectively) and the nine (occasionally ten) minor full moons each year. this leads to a consequent relation being established between t

a is now learning, and when that which overshadows him during this incarnation has wrought the needed changes through a process of transformation and transmutation, then a great transfiguration will take place and he will take his place among those empowered to work through a sacred planet. this process is that which implements the evolutionary process. evolution is an effect of this hidden work, emanating from cosmic levels; only when evolution has run its course through all the multiplicity of forms, of cycles, chains and spheres, of rounds and races and of world periods, will we know something of the true nature of the hidden mystery. in the council chamber of shamballa it is being dimly sensed. the buddha and the christ are expressing the qualities which when more universally demonstra

which is peculiarly active today in all human beings; this testifies to the success of the creative work of the buddhas of activity. this, in its turn, has a small symbolic triangle of its own, to which i would call attention: the thyroid gland and the para-thyroids. 3. the centre at the base of the spine. this is galvanised into activity at a certain stage of the evolutionary process, by energy emanating from the buddhas of activity who are the least active at this particular time. it is an energy pouring towards the fourth kingdom but not directed towards any individual. these great lives work through major groups. their potency is such that it would otherwise prove destructive. the purpose of deity is necessarily embodied in a mental proposition; it is through this mental proposition t

t, the world savior, came to an end at the crucifixion [25] when he entered upon greater and more important work. the wisdom that was now realized by hercules because he had made the at-onement with the soul, impressed upon him a sense of vocation. he was pledged to the spiritual life and nothing could deter him. vulcan gave him a golden breastplate, magnetic and protective, the symbol of energy, emanating from high sources of spiritual power, which will enable the aspirant to undertake the twelve labors and go forward unafraid. from neptune, the god of the waters, he received horses. the symbology underlying this gift is very interesting. horses, as well as neptune, the god of the waters and the deity of the watery, emotional nature, stand for the capacity to be carried away by either a l

for this reason it has been called the christcentre in the christian qahalah. mystical qabala page 34 23. we now have sufficient material to make a survey of the second triangle. jupiter, the beneficent ruler and lawgiver, is balanced by mars the warrior, the fiery and destructive force, and the two are equilibrated in tiphareth, the redeemer. in the supernal triangle we see the primary sephirah emanating a pair of opposites which express the two sides of its nature, chokmah, force, and binab, form, masculine and feminine sephiroth respectively. in the second triangle we have the pairs of opposites which find their equilibrium in a third, placed upon the middle pillar of the tree. from this we deduce that the first triangle derives its significance from that which lies behind it, and the

m the waters and the firmament appeared. this idea is further borne out in the phrase of the yetziratic text which speaks of chokmah as the splendour of unity, equalling it, thus clearly indicating its affinity to kether, unity, rather than to the planes of dualistic form. the word splendour, as used here, clearly indicates an emanation, or shining forth, and teaches us to think of chokmah as the emanating influence of pure being rather than as a thing in itself. this again leads us on to a truer apprehension of sex. let it be made quite clear, however, that the sphere of chokmah has nothing to do with fertility cults as such, save that maleness, dynamic force, is the primary life-giver and caller into manifestation. though [page 128] the higher and lower manifestations of dynamic force ar

only the creator s will to bestow delight existed. hence, in line with his desire, the will to bestow delight created an equal amount of the will to enjoy; however, it was opposite in property. consequently, the will to enjoy is the only thing that was created and exists besides the creator. moreover, this will is the material of all the worlds and all objects that populate them. and the pleasure emanating from the creator vitalizes and governs it all. in the spiritual worlds, the discrepancy between properties and desires separates two spiritual objects, moving them away from one another just like two corporeal objects separated by distance. in our world, if two people love and hate the same thing, meaning their predilections coincide, we say that they are close to one another. if their p

eous person does not want to receive pleasure for one s own sake. in earning levels of righteousness, one will, with the help of the creator who replaces our egoistic nature with an altruistic one, truly refuse all egoistic pleasure and aspire only to benefit the creator. but when a righteous person realizes that the creator receives pleasure only when his creations are delighted by the pleasures emanating from him, pleasures that are not belittled or destroyed, that person is once again forced to turn to egoism. this time, however, there is a different goal: to experience pleasure for the sake of the creator. in the end, the creator and the individual completely converge in their intentions and actions as each party attempts to gratify the other, and through this gains pleasure. there are

n this manner. revelation and concealment- 165- on the contrary, the higher the experienced sensation of pleasure, the higher the spiritual level attained. there is also pleasure from the recognition of infinite strength, power and might without any concern for self. therefore, the level of a righteous person is not sufficient to fulfill the goal of the creation. receiving pleasure from the light emanating from the creator is crucial for the correction of our intentions "the reasons for which we seek pleasure" the attainment of the level of the righteous only permits us to rid ourselves of the feelings of shame that we experience when we receive pleasures from the creator. as much as egoism constitutes our nature in this world and altruism is considered to be a utopian notion, they are per

ough this process, we undergo new corrections, which accumulate until the creator himself gathers them together. all of these negative feelings of ours concerning our distance from the creator, our dissatisfaction with our spiritual path, our complaints about the many deadlocked states we experience all of these to the degree required for us to merit the awareness of the creator and the pleasures emanating from him. it is then that the "gates of tears" are flung open, and it is only through them that we can enter the halls of the creator. even if we become overwhelmed by the powerful reactions and stubbornness of our egos, we should not decide that the creator did not give us sufficient strength to cope with them, or that we were born lacking talent, patience, equanimity and sharpness of m

we are familiar with an individual s various qualities, such as kindness, envy, anger, willingness to compromise and so on, we can assert that we "know" that individual. similarly, after a kabbalist grasps all actions and the divine manifestation in those actions, the creator is revealed to the kabbalist by means of light, in a completely comprehensible way. if the spiritual levels and the light emanating from them do not carry with them the possibility of perceiving the creator "himself" then we consider them impure("himself" implies, just as in our world, that we gain an impression of one through one s actions and do not feel the urge to find out anything else. after all, that which we cannot perceive at all does not elicit in us an interest or a need to be perceived. impure forces such

f the deeper scientific aspects of greek mythology is possible, it is necessary to organize the greek pantheon and arrange its gods, goddesses, and various superhuman hierarchies in concatenated order. proclus, the great neo-platonist, in his commentaries on the theology of plato, gives an invaluable key to the sequence of the various deities in relation to the first cause and the inferior powers emanating from themselves. when thus arranged, the divine hierarchies may be likened to the branches of a great tree. the roots of this tree are firmly imbedded in unknowable being. the trunk and larger branches of the tree symbolize the superior gods; the twigs and leaves, the innumerable existences dependent upon the first and unchanging power. p. 19 of friedrich wilhelm nietzsche it has been sa

raxas in greek is braxav. a= 1, b= 2, r= 100, a= 1, x =60, a= 1, v= 200, the sum being 365, the number of days in the year. this number furnishes the key to the mystery of abraxas, who is symbolic of the 365 ons, or spirits of the days, gathered together in one composite personality. abraxas is symbolic of five creatures, and as the circle of the year actually consists of 360 degrees, each of the emanating deities is one-fifth of this power, or 72, one of the most sacred numbers in the old testament of the jews and in their qabbalistic system. this same method is used in finding the numerical value of the names of the gods and goddesses of the greeks and jews. all higher numbers can be reduced to one of the original ten numerals, and the 10 itself to 1. therefore, all groups of numbers res

MORALS AND DOGMA

epresentative of the human family, he is the protector of men and their shepherd. god gives to man the soul or intelligence, which exists before the body, and which he unites with the body. the reasoning principle comes from god through the word, and communes with god and with the word; but there is also in man an irrational principle, that of the inclinations and passions which produce disorder, emanating from inferior spirits who fill the air as ministers of god. the body, taken from the earth, and the irrational principle that animates it concurrently with the rational principle, are hated by god, while the rational soul which he has given it, is, as it were, captive in this prison, this coffin, that encompasses it. the present condition of man is not his primitive condition, when he wa

r it at a single step. even in the occident, neither plato nor philo could thus impoverish the intellectual world. thus, cerinthus of ephesus, with most of the gnostics, philo, the kabalah, the zend-avesta, the puranas, and all the orient, deemed the distance and antipathy between the supreme being and the material world too great, to attribute to the former the creation of the latter. below, and emanating from, or created by, the ancient of days, the central light, the beginning, or first principle[[greek, one, two, or more principles, existences or intellectual beings were imagined, to some one or more of whom [without any immediate creative act on the part of the great immovable, silent deity, the immediate creation of the material and mental universe was due. we have already spoken of

and that blind soul into a rational principle, a mundane soul, animating the universe. as from the latter proceeds all rational, spiritual life in humanity, so from the former proceeds all that is irrational, all that is under the blind sway of passion and appetite; and all malignant spirits are its progeny. in one respect _all_ the gnostics agreed: they _all_ held, that there was a world purely emanating out of the vital development of god, a creation evolved directly out of the divine essence, far exalted above any outward creation produced by god's plastic power, and conditioned by pre-existing matter. they agreed in holding that the framer of _this lower world_ was not the father of _that higher world_ of emanation; but the demiurge[[greek ?e, a being of a kindred nature with the univ

te spirits that rule over the several portions of the earth, seek to counteract this universal tendency to unity; and from their influence, their laws, and arrangements, proceeds all that checks, disturbs, or limits the original communion, which is the basis of nature, as the outward manifestation of that highest unity. these spirits, moreover, seek to retain under their dominion the souls which, emanating from the highest unity, and still partaking of its nature, have lapsed into the corporeal world, and have there been imprisoned in bodies, in order, under their dominion, to be kept within the cycle of migration. from these finite spirits, the popular religions of different nations derive their origin. but the souls which, from a reminiscence of their former condition, soar upward to the

souls of light purified by christos. when nothing of the spiritual world shall remain subject to ialdabaoth, the redemption will be accomplished, and the end of the world, the completion of the return of light into the plenitude, will occur. tatian adopted the theory of emanation, of eons, of the existence of a god too sublime to allow himself to be known, but displaying himself by intelligences emanating from his bosom. the first of these was his spirit??e? a. pneuma, god himself, god thinking, god conceiving the universe. the second was the word. logos, no longer merely the thought or conception, but the creative utterance, manifestation of the divinity, but emanating from the thought or spirit; the first-begotten, author of the visible creation. this was the trinity, composed of the fa

hose of bardesanes and harmonius, derived his doctrines from zoroasterism, christianity, and gnosticism. he claimed to be the ?a??t [parakletos] or comforter, in the sense of a teacher, organ of the deity, but not in that of the holy spirit or holy ghost: and commenced his _epistola fundamenti_ in these words "manes, apostle of jesus christ, elect of god the father; behold the words of salvation, emanating from the living and eternal fountain" the dominant idea of his doctrine was pantheism, derived by him from its source in the regions of india and on the confines of china: that the cause of all that exists is in god; and at last, god is all in all. all souls are equal--god is in all, in men, animals, and plants. there are two gods, one of good and the other of evil, each independent, ete

tness, the father has joined to himself those fortunate and glorious eons??e. aiones, whose power and number it is impossible to determine. this is spinoza's infinity of infinite attributes of god. twelve chief eons, at the head of all, were the genii of the twelve constellations of the zodiac, and called by manes olamin. satan, also, lord of the empire of darkness, had an army of eons or demons, emanating from his essence, and reflecting more or less his image, but divided and inharmonious among themselves. a war among them brought them to the confines of the realm of light. delighted, they sought to conquer it. but the chief of the celestial empire created a power which he placed on the frontiers of heaven to protect his eons, and destroy the empire of evil. this was the mother of life

e only living being possessed of this faculty. adding to it a head, we have the letter p, the sign of paternity, creative power; and with a further addition, r, signifying man in motion, going _iens _iturus. the duad is the origin of contrasts. it is the imperfect condition into which, according to the pythagoreans, a being falls, when he detaches himself from the monad, or god. spiritual beings, emanating from god, are enveloped in the duad, and therefore receive only illusory impressions. as formerly the number one designated harmony, order, or the good principle (the one and only god, expressed in latin by _solus, whence the words _sol _soleil, symbol of this god, the number two expressed the contrary idea. there commenced the fatal knowledge of good and evil. everything double, false

cteristic of death. accordingly, the vital fire that blazes in the sun and produces the heat that vivifies everything, was regarded as the principle of organization and life of all sublunary beings. according to this doctrine, the universe is not to be regarded, in its creative and eternal action, merely as an immense machine, moved by powerful springs and forced into a continual movement, which, emanating from the circumference, extends to the centre, acts and re-acts in every possible direction, and re-produces in succession all the varied forms which matter receives. so to regard it would be to recognize a cold and purely mechanical action, the energy of which could never produce life. on the contrary, it was thought, the universe should be deemed an immense being, always living, always

an accouterment is acceptable; the dancer is anything but that, however. his movements are magical ones designed to create an environment from which change in accord with the will can be accomplished. it appears to be an evocative series of moves made in order to set in motion the forces necessary to the bringing forth of life. this seems evidenced by the figures taking from in the upward spirals emanating from the pelvic area of the skeleton. the angular dna-like lines moving up within the spirals are highly suggestive of life forming itself into those forces which will end as basic living beings. aleister crowley's firm belief in male supremacy also surfaces in the symbolism of life force forming from the phallus projecting from the skeleton. the male's place in the scheme of life creati

f that house cannot be compared to the substance of the house that has been actually built. this is because in theory, the house is composed of a substance of thought, and is a potential house. however, when the house begins to turn from thought to action, it takes on a different substance- that of trees and stones. thus it is possible to distinguish potential and actual in the souls as well: the emanating of the souls from the creator in fact begins only at the world of beria. therefore, all the changes that occur before the world of beria are considered potential, without any tangible distinction from the creator. therefore it is said that all the souls are already included in malchut of ein sof (infinite, in the middle point of the entire existence. it is because this point in potential
