zed, the entity, expressing itself cyclically, will make its presence felt through differentiation, through the colour or quality of the veiling form and through the form itself. these factors make up the sum total of the expression of any identity, god or man, and the appearance of any man in exoteric expression on the physical plane is dependent upon the rhythmic or cyclic outgoing or indrawing energy of the great life in whom he lives and moves and has his being. this is the basis of the science of astrology or the relationship of the planet, or planets to the human being and of their relation to the stars and the various signs of the zodiac. some knowledge of this is essential to the right control of the life currents, so that the disciple can avail himself of the "times and seasons" w

the one who thinks, towards the instrument of thought; of the one who registers feeling, towards the field of sensuous experience, and of the actor, towards the physical body the sole means of contact with that particular field of activity, the world of physical life. this soul expresses itself through two forms of energy, that which we call the vital principle or fluid, the life aspect, and the energy of pure reason. these energies are focussed during life in the physical body. the life stream centres itself in the heart, utilizing the blood stream, the arteries and the veins, and animating every part of the organism; the other stream, of intellectual energy, centres itself in the brain, and utilizes the nervous apparatus as its medium of expression. in the heart, therefore, is the seat

does enter the realm of divine energy, and finds himself intensely responsive to it; he senses his group relations and responsibilities and feels as if he must do his uttermost to live up to them. this registering of a constant pouring in of vital force is eminently characteristic, for the co-ordination between the soul and its instrument, and the subsequent reaction of the nervous system to the energy of the soul is so close and exact that it takes the man quite a little time to learn the necessary adjustments. a second effect, as we have seen, is the recognition of the light in the head. this fact is so well substantiated that it needs little reinforcing. dr. jung refers to it in the following manner..the light-vision, is an experience common to many mystics, and one that is undoubtedly

oduce objectivity. these ideas assume a mental form, first of all, and some mind grasps them and ponders upon them, or passes them on to some group of thinkers, and the work of "thinking through" goes forward. then the quality of desire begins to enter in, and there is an emotional reaction to the thoughts which the ideas have evoked, and the form is gradually built. thus the work goes on and the energy of the soul and of the mind and of the desire nature correlate with the energy of matter, and a definite form comes into being. every form, whether it be the form of a sewing machine, of a social order or of a solar system, can be posited as the materialization of the thought of some thinker, or of some group of thinkers. it is a form of creative work, and the same laws of emergence into be

consciousness becomes aware of the things of the kingdom of god. second: he must learn the nature of the energies he is contacting, and train himself to utilize them correctly. a practical illustration of this can be given here, and one universally recognized. we are swept by anger or irritation. instinctively we begin to shout. why? emotional energy has us in its grip. by learning to control the energy of the spoken word we begin to master that particular type of emotional energy. in these two ideas of right interpretation and right transmission, and of right use of energy, the whole story of the meditation work is summed up. it becomes apparent also what is the problem confronting the student, and why all wise teachers of the technique of meditation urge upon their pupils the need of car

leness of purpose. the six qualities enumerated above express the force of this ray as it makes its presence felt in the fourth kingdom in nature. the effects in other kingdoms differ, but we shall confine our attention to the standpoint of humanity. the purpose of the first ray, and its main work, is to produce cessation and the death of all forms in all kingdoms in nature and on all planes. the energy of this ray lord brings about the death of an ant or of a solar system, of an organisation, a religion, or a government, of a race type or of a planet. his will or purpose works out through the law of periodicity. the second purpose of deity ray ii. love-wisdom the word is issuing from the heart of god, emerging from a central point of love. that word is love itself. divine desire colours a

rs. they are communicators between the third aspect of divinity, the creative aspect as it expresses itself through the creative work and in response to the thought world and the first aspect, life. they link and blend life and form creatively. they are closely related to the ninth group because today, unknowingly and without any true understanding, they are bringing about a concretisation of the energy of desire; this in its turn brings about the creation of things. incidentally, therefore, they are concerned with the concretisation of money. their work is also largely philosophical and concerned with the task of relating factually and scientifically the other nine types of groups so that they may work creatively upon the physical plane and the divine plan may clearly appear as a result o

editation and with complete obedience to my decisions in the matter. another question could well be: what is the difference between this work which i am suggesting to you and the work of the lodge of the lords of form? none whatsoever, except in motive and the point from which you must endeavour to work. the lords of form work entirely on and from the lower levels of the mental plane and with the energy of knowledge. the love aspect of the soul itself is inactive and, therefore, from the angle and vision of the great white lodge, motives are wrong and the objectives are selfish ones. this is true both of individuals and groups. forget not that these lords of form are souls of great age and unique blindness. but that later, in some far distant cycle, and when karma has worked upon them and

process can be either rapid or slow. where the alignment is good, there can be an almost immediate response to my thought; where it is not good, it may take days and even weeks for the impression to be finally realised and consciously registered on the disciple's mind and brain. there are other groups which are consciously working with the energy which can dispel glamour and illusion. this is the energy of the highest level of the astral plane. this level is susceptible to reaction or response to that type of energy which we call the energy of the intuition or of buddhi, if you like the oriental terminology. it is the energy of wisdom. this wisdom energy is the only type of force which is adequate to dispel the miasmas, the fogs and the mists of the world of glamour. those disciples who ar

brought out for our own benefit the material resources of the physical plane. we have conquered them and bent them to our will and use, often selfishly, yet sometimes with good and pure intent. in the new age, a paralleling control will take place over the world of astral phenomena and over the forces of glamour and illusion. we seek to control them today mentally and theoretically. but only the energy of wisdom will suffice to dispel the forces of the world glamour and the world illusion. practise wisdom, my brothers, and thus aid humanity and shorten its astral struggle. other groups have the task of working with the energy which is the well known and much discussed prana or life energy the energy of vitality. the right use of the pranic energies (and they are seven in number) will most

ence just given. the process of achieving this control constitutes one of the most difficult periods in the life of the disciple and quite one of the longest from the angle of time. for this you should be prepared. particularly is it difficult at this time to triumph over emotion because of the intense emotional condition of the entire human family and the widespread fear and terror for which the energy of the black lodge of adepts is responsible. this definitely complicates your problem and that of all disciples: it tends to foster a most potent glamour. so i beg of you to proceed with courage, joy, understanding, extreme caution and at the same time with speed. i would point out also that the intention of all true disciples is to stand by their group brothers in love and understanding. u

of avatars or of divine "coming ones" has to do. an avatar is one who has a peculiar capacity (besides a self-initiated task and a pre-ordained destiny) to transmit energy or divine power. this is necessarily a deep mystery and was demonstrated in a peculiar manner and in relation to cosmic energy by the christ who for the first time in planetary history, as far as we know transmitted the divine energy of love directly to our planet and in a most definite sense to humanity. always too these avatars or divine messengers are linked with the concept of some subjective spiritual order or hierarchy of spiritual lives, who are concerned with the developing welfare of humanity. all we really know is that, down the ages, great and divine representatives of god embody divine purpose, and affect th

purpose of it all, and the comprehensive divine idea (as it existed in the mind of the father) dawned upon his soul not on his mind, for the revelation was far greater than that. he saw still further into the meaning of divinity than had ever before seemed possible; the world of meaning and the world of phenomena faded out and esoterically speaking he lost his all. for the time being, neither the energy of the creative mind nor the energy of love were left to him. he was bereft of all that had made life bearable and full of meaning. a new type of energy became available the energy of life itself, imbued with purpose and actuated by intention. but it was new and unknown and- 12- the reappearance of the christ copyright 1998 lucis trust hitherto unrealised. for the first time, the relation o

att. 24.6 "but the end is not yet" the other word telos is used for it means "the end of the first period has not yet been reached" here he was speaking as the head of the spiritual hierarchy and expressing his divine will (at-one now with the will of god) to inform and pervade continuously the world of men with his overshadowing consciousness. it was a tremendous affirmation, sent forth upon the energy of his developed will, his all-inclusive love and his intelligent mind. this affirmation has made all things possible. it was also to the magnetic power of the will that christ referred when he said "i, if i be lifted up, will draw all men unto me" this had no reference to the crucifixion but to the magnetic will of the christ to draw all men, through the life of the indwelling christ in ev

e form of the new group of world servers; they are as potent a body of forerunners as has ever preceded a great world figure into the arena of mankind's living. their work and influence is already seen and felt in every land, and nothing can destroy that which they have accomplished. the spiritual and organising effect of expressed and voiced invocation has been also attempted since 1935, and the energy of the invocative cry of humanity has been directed into those channels which reach from earth to that high place where dwells the christ. from there, it has been transmitted to those still higher spheres where the attention of the lord of the world, the ancient of days, the father of all, plus the creative energies and living beings who dwell there with him, can be focussed on humanity and

eive embodiment and for this the christ is preparing. the continuity of revelation may not stop; and upon what other expressions of the divine nature may still later be revealed it is needless for us to speculate. the uniqueness of the impending mission of the christ and the uniqueness of his opportunity consist in the fact that he is able in himself to give expression to two divine energies: the energy of love and the energy of will, the magnetic potency of love and the dynamic effectiveness of the divine will. never before, in the long long history of humanity, has such a revelation been possible. the work and the teaching of the christ will be hard for the christian world to accept, though easier of assimilation in the east. nevertheless, some hard blow or some difficult presentation of

ough the life of the spirit of peace, working through the christ, the embodiment of the love of god be balanced by an expressed goodwill. the guarantee of the appearance of that goodwill is the excessive expression of hate a hate which has been slowly mounting in the minds of men since the beginning of the 19th century, and which is reaching a new high at this time. a proportionate measure of the energy of love will demonstrate later as the result of the activity of the spirit of peace, working through the prince of peace, as christ has sometimes been called (is. ix.6) this spiritual being will not descend from the high place whereon he works and from whence his energy is directed, but the christ will act and serve as the channel for his directed potency. the inflow of his divine energy (e

s ray energy, as it expresses itself in a twofold manner, producing a twofold result, are as follows: 1. there is, at this time, an emergence of certain powerful and dominating first ray personalities- 7- the destiny of the nations copyright 1998 lucis trust into the theatre of world activity. these people are in direct contact with this shamballa force and are sensitive to the impact of the will energy of deity. according to their type of personality and their point in evolution will be their reaction to this force and their consequent usefulness to the lord of the world as he works out his plans of world unfoldment. the energy of the will of god works through them, though stepped down and often misused and misapplied, by their differing and limited personalities, and interpreted unsatisf

ut your failure to recognise this truth and to respond to it does not affect the issue. it simply makes your individual lot and difficulties harder. i would also remind you that the use of first ray energy inevitably means destruction in the early stages but fusion and blending in the later and final results. if you study the nations of the world today from this angle, you will see this shamballa energy of will working out potently through the agency of certain great outstanding personalities. the lord of shamballa in this time of urgency, from love of the life aspect and from understanding of the plan as well as from love of humanity, is sending forth this dynamic energy. it is form destroying and brings death to those material forms and organised bodies which hinder the free expression o

ALICE A BAILEY16 GLAMOUR A WORLD PROBLEM

. it is the misunderstanding of ideas and thoughtforms of which they are guilty, and of misinterpretations. 2. glamour is astral in character, and is far more potent at this time than illusion, owing to the enormous majority of people who function astrally always- 17- glamour: a world problem copyright 1998 lucis trust 3. maya is vital in character and is a quality of force. it is essentially the energy of the human being as it swings into activity through the subjective influence of the mental illusion or astral glamour or of both in combination. 4. the dweller on the threshold, always present, swings however into activity only on the path of discipleship, when the aspirant becomes occultly aware of himself, of the conditions induced within him as a result of his interior illusion, his as

nd more average mental types of people succumb to the general field of illusion and of mass illusion. the mental plane manifests a different sort of distortion to that of the astral plane or the etheric. the faculty of discrimination which is being developed has produced sharper lines of demarcation, and instead of the dense fogs and mists of the astral plane or the swirling tides and currents of energy of the etheric plane, we have on the mental plane masses of sharply indicated thoughtforms of a particular quality and note and tone, 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 thoughtf

world- 23- glamour: a world problem copyright 1998 lucis trust glamour. wrestle therefore with your personal problems along these lines, my brothers, for in this way you will gain facility in discernment, in clear precise action, and in strengthened understanding. in the process of dissipating glamour, the way of the greatest potency is to realise the necessity to act purely as a channel for the energy of the soul. if the disciple can make right alignment and consequent contact with his soul, the results show as increased light. this light pours down and irradiates not only the mind, but the brain consciousness as well. he sees the situation more clearly: he realises the facts of the case as against his "vain imaginings; and so the "light shines upon his way" he is not yet able to see tru

ication, works with the forces of life on the three planes of human endeavour, plus the principle of life itself. 2. that the disciple begins to discriminate between the forces and energy. upon the path of discipleship he begins to work with soul-energy. this eventually dominates the forces. 3. that the initiate works, upon the path of initiation, with energy and learns to distinguish between the energy of life, the energies of the soul, and the forces of the phenomenal world- 26- glamour: a world problem copyright 1998 lucis trust another point also should be emphasised here and that is that the nature of these forces and energies, and their use and control have always to be realised and worked out in full consciousness upon the physical plane. theory must become fact, and the battles whi

nd be used in the dispelling of the world glamour. it might be expressed in illustration thus: 1. through alignment and subsequent contact, the intuition is evoked, awakened and used. this is the great dispelling agency, and pours down from the plane of the intuition (the plane of buddhi) through the soul and the brain to the heart of the disciple. 2. through alignment and subsequent contact, the energy of the soul is evoked, awakened and used. this is the great dissipating agency, and pours down from soul levels (the higher levels of the mental plane) through the mind to the brain of the disciple carrying illumination to the astral plane. 3. these two types of spiritual energy work differently upon the forces of the personality, and their purpose and activity have to be realised in the br

tant steady conscious contact with the soul, seeing into the higher world through the medium of the "soul's wide-opened eye" registers the idea with increasing clarity. iv. the idea, revealed, becomes then an ideal to the attentive mind and eventually something to be desired and materialised. the thoughtform-making faculty of the mind then comes into play; the "mind-stuff" becomes actuated by the energy of the idea, vitalised by the recognition of the soul, and the idea then takes its first real step towards embodiment. an ideal is only an embodied idea. these are the first steps towards materialisation. embodiment becomes possible. thus illusion is produced. v. distortion now sets in. this is brought about by various causes. these might be enumerated as follows: 1. the ray type of the ego

ced, but not immersed. it might almost be said that the astral body of a person comes into being as a part of the general world glamour; it is difficult for him to differentiate between his own astral body and the glamours which affect and sway and submerge him. his problem upon the mental plane is more clearly defined, even if it is equally difficult. 3. astral glamour is a form of energy and an energy of great potency, owing to three factors: a. it is of such an ancient rhythm, being inherent in astral substance itself, that it is most difficult for a human being to become aware of it or to understand it; it is the result of the age-long activity of human desire. b. it is a corporate part of a man's own energy nature, and therefore constitutes for him the line of least resistance; it is

ALICE A BAILEY17 TELEPATHY AND THE ETHERIC VEHICLE

in of colonel house. he, not recording the source (of which he was totally- 3- telepathy and the etheric vehicle copyright 1998 lucis trust unaware, passed it on in turn to that sixth ray aspirant, called woodrow wilson. then, fed by the wealth of analogous ideas in the minds of many, it was presented to the world. it should be borne in mind that the function of a disciple is to focus a stream of energy of some special kind upon the physical plane where it can become an attractive centre of force and draw to itself similar types of ideas and thought currents which are not strong enough to live by themselves or to make a sufficiently strong impact upon the human consciousness. in union is strength. this is the second law governing telepathic communication. the first law is: 1. the power to

to motivate: 1. the force of love with its negative quality which a. attracts the needed material with which to clothe the idea, the thought or concept to be transmitted; it is also the attractive agency utilised by the recipient. therefore both transmitter- 15- telepathy and the etheric vehicle copyright 1998 lucis trust and recipient work with the same agency, but the transmitter uses the love energy of the larger whole whilst the recipient concentrates, upon the transmitter, the love energy of his own nature. if this be so, you can see why i emphasise the necessity for love and for non-criticism. b. constitutes the coherent quality which links together the transmitter and the recipient, and which also produces the coherency of that which is transmitted. it will be apparent to you conse

; seek to express that love in every possible way upon the physical plane, upon the levels of emotion, and through right thought. let the love of the soul sweep through all like a regenerating force. 2. the force of mind. this is the illuminating energy which "lights the way" of an idea or form to be transmitted and received. forget not that light is subtle substance. upon a beam of light can the energy of the mind materialise. this is one of the most important statements made in connection with the science of telepathy. the success of this is dependent upon the alignment of the bodies of the transmitter and the recipient. the double line of contact must be that of mental energy and brain electrical energy. the magnetic power of love to attract attention, to produce alignment, and to call

sponse to messages by the emotionally polarised man or woman. this telepathic rapport and response is a characteristic of the human soul working from mind to mind and from brain to brain. it is literally a state of consciousness which is sufficiently conditioned by the integrated mental person so that he is aware of and inclusive of the mental state and thought processes of another person. 3. the energy of prana, or the etheric force of the vital body. this energy, by an act of the will and under the pressure of the magnetic power of love, responds to or is receptive to the dual energies mentioned above. the idea, thoughtform or mental impression which must be recorded in the brain consciousness of the recipient opens a way in the pranic fluids and so controls their- 16- telepathy and the

t of the three types of energy, blended and fused into one stream of force. b. it becomes actively responsive to the idea, impression, thoughtform, symbol, words, etc, which are being swept into the area of its conscious activity. let me attempt to reduce the above information to practical simplicity, thus showing how these three types of energy can be used in practical work: 1. by the use of the energy of love in three ways: a. by sending out love (not sentiment) to your brothers at the time of transmission or reception. b. by capitalising on the inherent power of love to attract the material or the substance, and thus to "clothe" in the occult sense that which you send out. c. by sending forth the "clothed" idea, impression, etc, on a stream of love which your brother alert, receptive an

hic work you do, as a group or as individuals, will be dependent upon your capacity to "hold yourselves steady in the light" mentally. the difference is that this time you do it for the purpose of the planned work, and attempt to hold the mind steady in the light of the group, or in each other's light, and not so specifically in the light of your own soul. 3. by the conscious organised use of the energy of the etheric ajna centre, and sometimes of the head centre, when receiving, and of the throat centre, when transmitting. this swings etheric force into activity when engaged in telepathic work, but entails its conscious subordination to the power of the other two energies. practically, you will observe that this involves on the part of the disciple the power to do three things at once. yo

that the aura which each of you has created around the central nucleus of your incarnated self or soul is a fragment of the over-shadowing soul which brought you into manifestation. this aura is (as you well know) composed of the emanations of the etheric body, and this in its turn embodies three types of energy for which you are individually responsible. these three types are (when added to the energy of prana which composes the etheric vehicles: 1. the health aura. this is essentially physical. 2. the astral aura, which is usually by far the most dominant factor, extensive and controlling. 3. the mental aura, which is in most cases relatively small but which develops rapidly once the disciple takes his own development consciously in hand, or once the polarisation of the personality is u

dealing with the undeveloped or average man and with uranus when considering the highly developed man. they would find some interesting and convincing results eventuate. students would also do well to remember that the twelve constellations which constitute our particular zodiac are themselves the recipients of many streams of energy coming to them from many sources. these blend and fuse with the energy of any particular constellation and transmuted and "occultly refined" eventually find their way into our solar system. i would like to call attention, at this point, to some comments i made in a treatise on cosmic fire which are apposite and helpful. i am somewhat paraphrasing "astrology is concerned with the effect produced in the substance of the sheaths by the influences, vibrations, etc

ating in this particular incarnation. it is this energy which drives the monads through into physical incarnation, for it makes itself felt on the seventh plane. the energies which are functioning are those which the logos has unfolded, and are the gain of previous incarnations. gaps necessarily occur, and certain types of force are lacking because he has as yet much cosmically to gain. it is the energy of this hierarchy which results in the manifestation of the divine androgyne, and in the seven centres of force which are the seven spiritual energies. hierarchy iii. the third creative hierarchy (or the eighth) is a peculiarly interesting one. they are called "the triads" for they hold in themselves the potencies of triple evolution, mental, psychical, and spiritual. these triads of life a

ortunity for the development and eventually the control of the form side of life- 31- a treatise on the seven rays- volume iii: esoteric astrology copyright 1998 lucis trust secondly, the twelve constellations are concerned primarily with the stimulation of the soul within the form, producing subjective activity which, in its turn, causes changes in the outer expression, through the fusion of the energy of the constellation with the energy of the planets. the effect produced falls into two stages: 1. the first stage wherein the sun sign dominates the man and he is gradually fitted to respond to the soul. his latent possibilities for this life are unfolded. the effect of the sun sign is sometimes called "the potency of the sun of probability" 2. the second stage wherein there is increasing

n for this is that in the descent of ideas from the plane of ideas, they become "reversed" upon the astral plane and subject to the great illusion; astrology must eventually free itself from this reversal. a right understanding of the effect of the various energies and forces will make it apparent that, when the conditioning planetary forces, the expanding energies of the sun sign and the driving energy of the rising sign are all being controlled and directed by the illumined spiritual man, you will then have a soul upon the very verge of liberation. eventually the energies of the twelve constellations and at a final stage of experience and development of the three great constellations which condition the solar logos are blended with the innate energies of the seven rays or of the seven pl

eir synthesis is brought about upon the path of initiation. what is true of man in this connection is true also of humanity as a whole, of the planetary logos of the earth, as of all planetary logoi, and of a solar logos. the analogy between the fusion of the pairs of opposites, for instance, upon the physical plane can be seen in the conscious and directed fusion of the planetary forces with the energy of any specific planet or group of planets. the analogy, involving discrimination to regulate and offset the force of the pairs of opposites upon the astral plane, can be seen when the energies of the sun sign and of the planets are perfectly directed and adjusted. the analogy can also be carried forward onto the mental plane and when the energies of the sun sign and the rising sign are coh

ALICE A BAILEY20 A TREATISE ON THE SEVEN RAYS VOLUME IV ESOTERIC HEALING

ic law underlying all occult healing may be stated to be as follows: law i all disease is the result of inhibited soul life, and that is true of all forms in all kingdoms. the art of the healer consists in releasing the soul, so that its life can flow through the aggregate of organisms which constitute any particular form. it is interesting to note that the attempt of the scientist to release the energy of the atom is of the same general nature as the work of the esotericist when he endeavours to release the energy of the soul. in this release the nature of the true art of healing is hidden. herein lies an occult hint. in the fourth place, we will consider the physical body, its diseases and ills, but only after we have studied that part of man which lies behind and surrounding the dense p

tity. the implications of this are largely beyond our ken, but the effects are discernible. i am not interested primarily in training individuals in order to make them more efficient healers. it is group healing at which i aim, and it is the work which is done in formation which interests me at this time. but no group of people can work as a unit unless they love and serve each other. the healing energy of the spiritual hierarchy cannot flow through the group if there is disharmony and criticism. the first work, therefore, of any group of healers, is to establish themselves in love and to work towards group unity and understanding. i would like to point out here the need for patience as a healing group integrates and the auras of the group members blend. it takes a little time for people t

we find a group of men and women coming under the control of soul energy, whilst the other three energies are being increasingly subordinated to this higher type of control. it should be borne in mind that there are two other types of energy with which to reckon, when considering intelligent man. 1. the energy which is composed of the fused and blended forces of a coordinated personality. 2. the energy of the physical plane itself, which is finally identified by the aspirant or disciple, and becomes so utterly negated that eventually it constitutes one of the major factors in the release of the centres. finally the time comes when the initiate works simply with three types of energy whilst expressing himself in incarnation: the energy of life itself, the negative energy of the personality

cal plane itself, which is finally identified by the aspirant or disciple, and becomes so utterly negated that eventually it constitutes one of the major factors in the release of the centres. finally the time comes when the initiate works simply with three types of energy whilst expressing himself in incarnation: the energy of life itself, the negative energy of the personality, and the positive energy of the soul. thus he is an expression in conscious manifestation of the three aspects of the trinity. certain things should be established as occult facts in the consciousness of the healer before he is able to work constructively. 1. first of all, that there is nothing but energy and this energy manifests itself as many differing and varying energies. of these many energies, the universe i

inted out that the astral body is the prime motivating factor in the lives of the majority. this is caused by the fact that: 1. it is the body in which the bulk of human beings are today centering their consciousness. 2. it is the most developed of the bodies at this time, and therefore receives the bulk of the life energy as it comes down the life stream, from the soul, and likewise receives the energy of the stream of consciousness. 3. it is oriented, if i may so express it, outwards or towards the plane of physical experience. that orientation shifts at times and, temporarily in the case of the aspirant, turns inwards. just as the centres in man, the "lotuses of life" are depicted as turned downwards and with the stalk upwards in the undeveloped man, but are turned upwards in the case o

origin 1. head centre 1st the divine will. monadic 2. ajna centre 7th o rganisation. a tmic direction. 3. heart centre 2nd love-wisdom. buddhic group love. 4. throat centre 5th creativity. mental 5. solar plexus 6th emotion. desire. astral 6. sacral centre 3rd reproduction. etheric. 7. base of spine 4 th h armony. p hysical union through conflict. note: in the fourth kingdom, the human, it is the energy of the fourth ray which, cooperating with the first ray, eventually brings synthesis. there is a close relation between the highest centre- 31- a treatise on the seven rays- volume iv: esoteric healing copyright 1998 lucis trust (the head centre, and that at the base of the spine. this fourth type of energy thus expresses itself in cooperation with the first type because we are still atlant

l will of man" if you analyse the four causes of disease here given, you will note that disease will eventually be controlled by the release of the soul in all forms, and that this will be done by the active use by man of his spiritual will. we could word this otherwise and say that when soul energy and the right use of the will (which in the individual is the reflection and the agent of the will energy of the soul) is released and rightly directed by the mind, then disease can be handled and brought eventually to an end. it is therefore by the imposition of a higher energy and of a higher rhythm upon the lower forces that disease can be controlled. disease is therefore the result in the physical body of the failure to bring in these higher energies and rhythms, and that, in its turn, is d

ALICE A BAILEY21 EDUCATION IN THE NEW AGE

tanding of what we call genius will likewise be made clearer, and in this way creative work will no longer be regarded as unique and manifesting sporadically as is now the case but will become the subject of trained attention, and so assume its normal place in man's unfoldment. it might be added here that creative activity in the field of art becomes possible when the first aspect of the bridging energy of man can function and the soul (manifesting its third or lowest aspect) can begin to work. creative work can be carried forward when two of the "knowledge petals" of the egoic lotus are unfolded. the man can produce, through knowledge and creative energy, something upon the physical plane which will be expressive of the soul's creative power. when two of the "love petals" are also unfolde

crutable to you as are the plans of the ruler of shamballa. these are forces which it is well for you to recognise as existing, but there is little that you, as individuals or as groups, can do about them beyond seeing to it that there is nothing in you which could make you unimportant as you are a focal point for their efforts or an agent for the distribution of their peculiar type of energy the energy of focussed and directed hate, of separation, of fear and pride. with them we who are connected directly with the hierarchy have to deal, but you can aid more than you know through the regulation of thoughts and ideas, through the cultivation of a loving spirit and through the general use of the great invocation. we come now, for a brief moment, to a consideration of the jewish question. re

out from shamballa. it embodies in itself the energy which lies behind the world crisis of the moment. it is the will of god to produce certain racial and momentous changes in the consciousness of the race which will completely alter man's attitude to life and his grasp of the spiritual, esoteric and subjective essentials of living. it is this force which will bring about (in conjunction with the energy of love) that tremendous crisis imminent in the human consciousness which we call the second crisis, the initiation of the race into the mystery of the ages, into that which has been hid from the beginning. it might be of value here if we considered the three great planetary centres and their relationships in tabular form and thus get the general idea more clearly in mind. 1. shamballa..wil

higher realms of spiritual awareness. the forces which are contacted by the use of this great invocation, in conjunction with trained hierarchical effort, are thereby attracted or magnetically impelled to respond and then potent energies can be sent direct to the waiting planetary centre, humanity. two effects of an immediate nature are consequently induced over a specific period of time: a. the energy of the will of god serves to awaken the illumined but latent will-to-good in men and this, once dynamically awakened, will flower forth as goodwill. there is so much of this which remains latent and unexpressed because the will to demonstrate goodwill activity has not been aroused; it will be automatically aroused in the general public once the world disciples have invoked and evoked the in

e widespread. there are many to whom it could be sent, and it would arouse them anew to fresh activity and hopeful effort. i would ask you to use this new invocation with faith, for it blends into a magnetic unity the forces of the divine will-to-good, the love which underlies the efforts of the hierarchy, and the intelligent activity of humanity, thus creating a reservoir of power into which the energy of the three divine centres can pour and upon which the forces of light can draw. the saying of this invocation is not a substitute for the physical plane effort on your part; it is complementary to that, and the more you are serving upon the physical plane, the more effective will be your use of the new invocation. i said earlier that the war could have been averted from expression on the

ome people are very smart, the brain is not, at least at that level, and does not know that there is nothing there and thus sends out the message automatically. here we get to the real important part of this stuff, the ability of psychic energy to act as a carrier of information. and at this point we have to make just a bit of a leap, so bear with me. we will operate under the assumption that the energy of the etheric body is in some way all-pervasive. this means that the etheric body of one person is connected at some level, by some instrumentality, with the etheric body of everyone else in the world, if not in the universe and this connection is the means by which psychic powers operate. will this cure our water addiction? how the hell should i know, but that is not what this book is abo

ey don't really believe it. far from describing what we feel inside, words are often used to hide what is happening within us. they are fronts, smokescreens, to our true self. words only have real power when we believe what we say. this is why two people can make the same speech and one will get a standing ovation and the other polite applause. if we truly feel the words we speak, they project an energy of enormous power, for it is the combination of the words and our inner self in unison. if another person just reads the words competently and professionally without feeling them with all their being, that potential power will not be there. i can say i am a black woman. i find it easy to say that. but i don't believe it because i am not a black woman, i am a white man. words are just words

satanic abuse of children are aspects of the same agenda. sex creates an energy connection between the two parties, no matter who they are, and this allows the demonic entities in the perpetrator to take control of their victim. trauma-based mind control involves demonic possession by other-dimensional entities, also. these, often reptilian, beings of the lower fourth dimension want to absorb the energy of children before puberty and orgasm because the energy is still "pure" and so of more use to them. they therefore possess people and stimulate within them the sexual desire for children. when the possessed person is having physical sex with a child, the fourth-dimensional entity is sucking out their energy and making the vibrational connection that allows the child to be controlled by the

a triangle is broken up into three triangles, almost all the energy is focused at the center with a small amount at the outside vertices. if a circle surrounds the tetrahedron triangles, the energy is focused entirely in the center of the circle/triangle so a circle overrides the effects of the intersecting lines. in a figure where there are triangles around the periphery of a circle, the entire energy of the figure is concentrated into the triangles. it is as if the triangles gather and focus the energy in the circle. 1.1.2 shape power of a tetrahedron a tetrahedron, the simplest of the platonic solids, is made up of three connected triangles to form a three dimensional figure with four vertices. the intersecting lines of the tetrahedron have a concentration of aether in a vortical patte

e function of this enzyme is critical for all plant life because it catalyzes the fixation of atmospheric carbon dioxide and is the first step in producing sugars from carbon dioxide. this step is achieved by the carboxylase function of rubisco. but there is a problem with this enzyme: it is remarkably inefficient. given the importance of rubisco for life on earth remember that plants capture the energy of the sun to power their metabolism, that many animals eat plants, and that other animals eat animals that eat plants one has to wonder why a designer would have so poorly designed this protein. indeed, rubisco has a double function. one of these functions, as we said, is to fix carbon dioxide and produce sugar compounds necessary for the plants metabolic pathways. but in addition, rubisco

tropy? first, the word system is confusing because it is so vague and so general. a system can be as simple as a cup of hot coffee or as complicated as the whole universe. but more than that, a system is a place where something is happening over time. for example, a cup of hot coffee our system in this example will always cool down when left alone; it will not get hotter. this means that the heat energy of the hot coffee will flow in only one direction from the hot cup to the cooler world outside the cup and not the other way around. what is the result of this process? the coffee will obviously get cool, but the air in the room will become just a little warmer. if the room is large, you will not be able to notice with an ordinary thermometer that it got warmer. so now, let us repeat the ex

ological model subdivides the history of the universe into three phases. to understand the first phase, it is important to know that, for many scientists, the net energy balance of the universe is zero. how is this possible? it is thought that the energy contained in both matter and radiation (represented by einstein s famous equation e mc2) is the same amount of energy as the total gravitational energy of the universe (represented by the mutual attraction of all material objects in the cosmos. but since the universe is expanding, gravitational energy has a negative sign, balancing the positive energy in matter and radiation. in this way, the total energy of the universe is zero, and one does not need to invoke a special act that would have created energy from nothing. in fact, our materia

ize is the power, as an initiatory force, of an assemblage of individuals each sufficiently progressed and competent to" open his lodge" in the sense described. such an assembly, gathered in one place and acting with a common definite purpose, creates as it were a vortex in the mental and psychical atmosphere into which a newly initiated candidate is drawn. the tension created by their collective energy of thought and will--progressively intensifying as the lodge is opened in each successive degree, and correspondingly relaxing as each degree is closed--acts and leaves a permanent effect upon the candidate (assuming always that he is equally in earnest and" properly prepared" in an interior sense, inducing a favourable mental and spiritual rapport between him and those with whom he seeks t

gh which man fs service of love from below could arouse this flow of supernal beneficence. their mistake was that even though yesod includes the other attributes, it is nonetheless an attribute on its own as well. it is therefore not enough, as we said, to simply impose artificial harmony on the other attributes; there must be the purity of intention (signified by the purity of sexual energy, the energy of yesod) as well. furthermore, it is well known that the tribes were not meant to reflect the ten sefirot but rather twelve extremities, which exist in malchut as the twelve cattle, as is explained elsewhere. 2 1 chronicles 29:10. the arizal on parashat vayeisheiv 191 it was known in ancient times that a central prerequisite for establishing the people of the covenant, the family that woul

er, the individual introduces the letter chet into this word. the numerical value of chet is 8, alluding to the eight kings of who ruled the land of edom [by inserting them into the picture] the individual causes the world to revert to chaos. edom is the kingdom of esau, and thus signifies unmitigated judgement. as such, this kingdom and the eight kings who ruled it (genesis 36:31-39) express the energy of the world of tohu( gchaos h, the order of creation that preceded the rectified order of tikun or atzilut. in this world, the sefirot could not interact because they did not allow each other to enter each other fs vessels. in other words, they exhibited excessive severity, judgement, and selfcenteredness. by exhibiting anger, the individual causes the world to regress to this level. this

to draw the strange fire into the shrine, to traverse the boundary and thereby unite demonic and divine, to a rm, in the zoharic language, god s declaration, ana we-shem had hu, i and the name are one. although the monistic claim is metaphysically true, in the unredeemed world, the mandate for the pious jew is to keep pure and impure separate. when confronting the sacred in the form of the erotic energy of the feminine, the priest must resist the enticement to render the disjuncture of the moment the slashing of the instant conjunctive by blurring the boundaries separating holy and unholy. phallic fecundity and the spatio-temporal enshrining of prayer there is one more layer of meaning to expose in the zoharic homily, one that will help us uncover the most recondite dimension of the ontolo

nciple, something akin to the yin of chinese metaphysics. this principle of receptivity is one that is needed, for when we invoke it, we pave the way for other forces, fused together, to enter our sphere of sensation. the christ-like energy will then pacify and control it, so that it conforms to our will and can be directed for many different uses. it must also be stressed here that we invoke the energy of this cosmic christ, which is doubly reinforced with the energy of resurrection and immortality. something necessary for us to equate with the osirian concept of the 5=6 energy. the first real fusion of energies within the 5=6 comes with the phrase "virgo, isis, mighty mother" this is issued by the chief adept which shows the framework it is derived from in chesed, the sephiroth of mercy

iroth of mercy. all the associations to chesed are now evoked from, and linked to, our personalized sphere of chesed within our bodies. the phrase "scorpio, apophis, destroyer" relates to the sephirah of geburah, and the strength and security that is associated with it through the second adept. so far, we have called on two extremes. to call down either would be asking for trouble, but the christ energy of i.n.r.i. synthesizes it safely into a powerful force of even balance and polarity. the phrase "sol, osiris, slayen and risen" uttered by the third adept, now equates us with transferring that energy into the dired- sphere of man, guph, the physical body; but with new vitality. sol is the energy of the sun, while osiris is the renewed form of life. the dwb, as it is called down, in fact w

rase "sol, osiris, slayen and risen" uttered by the third adept, now equates us with transferring that energy into the dired- sphere of man, guph, the physical body; but with new vitality. sol is the energy of the sun, while osiris is the renewed form of life. the dwb, as it is called down, in fact works through the various subtle body layers and hence a resurgence of vitality is experienced. the energy of the sun, and a resurrected osiris, is considered limitless. what limits there are, are self imposed and have to be peeled away like the layers of an onion. the final saying in fact personalizes the cosmic christ concept down to a level that we can understand and direct, in accordance with order teaching methods. the final phrasing now calls on our auric bodies to open wider these channel

ysical body. some have grouped these images together in 7 stages, but the fact remains that they all emanate from the physical in shape, and can be attributed to the nephesch. the ruach during ritual is the astral shell the hierophant creates before the ritual begins, and which the officers step into (the method of doing this will be explained at higher grades. this is the accumulated unconscious energy of the order which is drawn from the matrix and sent back when the ceremony is completed. when the temple officer silently meditates, he consciously linkes his aura with the shell which opens up new channels of awareness within him. the neschamah is the divine spark brought about by the ruach and nephesch, linked with the officer stretching forth his faculty of reason; all are joined as a u
