ALICE A BAILEY02 INITIATION HUMAN AND SOLAR

e firm grip of self-conscious control that the ego of a human being takes upon his vehicles when the necessary stage in evolution has been achieved. it has been said that in the head of every man are seven centres of force, which are linked to the other centres in the body, and through which the force of the ego is spread and circulated, thus working out the plan. sanat kumara, with the six other kumaras, holds a similar position. these central seven are as the seven head centres to the body corporate. they are the directing agents and the transmitters of the energy, force, purpose, and will of the planetary logos on his own plane. this planetary head centre works directly through the heart and throat centres, and thereby controls all the remaining centres. this is by way of illustration

perfect intelligence, though from the standpoint of that existence who embraces even our planetary scheme in his body of manifestation, that love aspect is as yet but in process of developing, and the will is only embryonic. another solar system will see the will aspect come to fruition, as love will mature in this. standing around the lord of the world, but withdrawn and esoteric, are three more kumaras, who make the seven of planetary manifestation. their work is to us necessarily obscure. the three exoteric buddhas, or kumaras, are the sumtotal of activity or planetary energy, and the three esoteric kumaras embody types of energy which as yet are not in full demonstration upon- 24- initiation, human and solar copyright 1998 lucis trust our planet. each of these six kumaras is a reflecti

subsidiary. 3. their work is therefore concerned, not only with force distribution, but with the passing into our scheme from other planetary schemes, of egos seeking earth experience. 4. each of them is in direct communication with one or another of the sacred planets. 5. according to astrological conditions, and according to the turning of the planetary wheel of life, so one or another of these kumaras will be active. the three buddhas of activity change from time to time, and become in turn exoteric or esoteric as the case may be. only the king persists steadily and watchfully in active physical incarnation. besides these main presiding personalities in the council chamber at shamballa, there is a group of four beings who are the representatives upon the planet of the four maharajas, or

, the mahochohan. group three has as its head the mahachohan. his rule over the group persists for a longer period than that of his two brothers, and he may hold office for the term of several root-races. he is the sumtotal of the intelligence aspect. the present mahachohan is not the original one who held the office at the founding of the hierarchy in lemurian days it was then held by one of the kumaras, or lords of the flame, who came into incarnation with sanat kumara but he took hold of his position during the second sub-race of the atlantean root-race. he had achieved adeptship on the moon-chain, and it was through his instrumentality that a large number of the present more advanced human beings came into incarnation in the middle of the atlantean root-race. karmic affiliation with hi

he world is present, but at the first two he holds a position similar to that held by the silent watcher, when sanat kumara administers the oath at the third, fourth and fifth initiations. his power streams forth and the flashing forth of the star before the initiate is the signal of his approval, but the initiate does not see him face to face until the third initiation. the function of the three kumaras, or the three buddhas of activity at initiation is interesting. they are three aspects of the one aspect, and the pupils of sanat kumara. though their functions are many and varied, and concern primarily the forces and energies of nature, and the direction of the building agencies, they have a vital connection with the applicant for initiation, inasmuch as they each embody the force or ene

the pupils of sanat kumara. though their functions are many and varied, and concern primarily the forces and energies of nature, and the direction of the building agencies, they have a vital connection with the applicant for initiation, inasmuch as they each embody the force or energy of one or other of the three higher subplanes of the mental plane. therefore at the third initiation one of these kumaras transmits to the causal body of the initiate that energy which destroys third subplane matter, and thus brings about part of the destruction of the vehicle; at the fourth initiation another buddha transmits second plane force, and at the fifth, first subplane force is similarly passed into the remaining atoms of the causal vehicle, producing the final liberation. the work done by the secon

mony, when the initiate stands before the lord of the world, these three great beings form a triangle, within whose lines of force the initiate finds himself. at the first two initiations, wherein the bodhisattva functions as the hierophant, the mahachohan, the manu, and a chohan who temporarily represents the second department perform a similar office. at the highest two initiations, those three kumaras who are called "the esoteric kumaras" form a triangle wherein the initiate stands, when he faces the planetary logos. these facts are imparted to teach two things, first, the unity of the method, second, that the truism "as above so below" is an occult fact in nature. at the final two initiations many members of the hierarchy who are, if one might so express it, extra-planetary, and who fu

closer and more frequent reports are handed in. during this final year also, the applicant's name is submitted to the lodge, and after his own master has reported upon him, and his record has been briefly summarised, his name is balloted, and sponsors are arranged. during the initiation ceremony the important factors are: 1. the initiator. 2. the triangle of force formed by three adepts or three kumaras. 3. the sponsors. in the case of the first two initiations, two masters stand, one on each side of the applicant, within the triangle; at the third, fourth and fifth initiations, the mahachohan and the bodhisattva perform the function of sponsor; at the sixth and seventh initiations two great beings, who must remain nameless, stand within the esoteric triangle. the work of the sponsors is

nfold psychic differentiation of the sons of mind, and the law of synthesis results in the sevenfold perfection of the same manasaputras, so we have an interesting connection between the seven planes, or the seven grades of matter. the seven heavenly men, the seven divine manasaputras, or the seven types of wisdom-love. the seven qualities of wisdom, which are produced by the cosmic entities, the kumaras by the aid of knowledge through the medium of matter. this law of economy has several subsidiary laws which govern its effects on the different grades of matter. as said before, this is the law swept into action by the sounds as uttered by the logos. the sacred word, or the uttered sound of the creator, exists in different forms, and though in reality but one word, has several syllables. t

ere the five rays of prime importance in the first solar system, and were the five individualised heavenly men, called the mind-born sons of brahma. through the individualisation of the four in that system the individualisation of the great cosmic entity we call brahma was brought about. he individualised and the four go to the content of his body. c. they are represented on our earth by the five kumaras who obeyed the law, and took human form, as h. p. b.33(117) hints in several passages in the secret doctrine. this scheme is considered as the fourth and the one of the most importance in the system during this particular cycle for the following reasons: our solar system, being considered as of the fourth order, and our scheme being the fourth in order, there is consequently a moment of sp

s, but a statement of deep occult significance. the statement has been made with entire accuracy that five hierarchies out of the twelve have passed out and that seven remain. of these seven, our human hierarchy is the fourth, making it literally the ninth when counting the entire twelve. in this connection it would be well to link up the statements that have been made to the effect that the five kumaras or heavenly men who definitely embody the manasic principle (or the five rays over which the systemic correspondence to the mahachohan presides) developed manas in an earlier system; they passed out of the wave of manasic influence as far as their own nature is concerned. we must remember also that nine is the number of initiation, or of the major initiations of manas, wherein man becomes

ry occult nature can be worked out by the advanced student in connection also with the seven schemes. there are two which may be considered primarily archetypal, causal, or involving abstraction; three in which manas is manifested, and two in which already buddhi is manasically demonstrating. of these two, venus is one and thus we have the three and the two which make the five schemes of the five kumaras, who are brahma.36(120) just as venus is negatively polarised to our earth scheme, so the seven stars of the pleiades are negatively polarised to our seven schemes. a very pertinent question might here be asked. we might justly enquire (in connection with the point that venus is negatively polarised, and also that the pleiades are equally so) why they should be termed negative if they are

aking of a minor initiation by our earth logos, but in the venus scheme it was signalised by the taking of a major initiation by the venusian planetary logos on his fifth chain. in connection with a solar logos it followed upon the stimulation of one of his centres and from the geometrical progression of the fire through the earlier mentioned triangle. it has been stated that one hundred and four kumaras came from venus to the earth; literally the figure is one hundred and five, when the synthesising unit, the lord of the world himself, is counted as one. there remain still with him the three buddhas of activity. i would call- 227- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust attention to the dual significance of that name "buddha of activity" bearing out, as it does, the reality o

e major centres of the planetary logos, those three groups which we know as the "three departments" for it should be emphasised that each department forms a centre: a. the head centre..the ruling department b. the heart centre..the teaching department c. the throat centre..the mahachohan's department. this centre synthesises the lesser four, just as the third ray synthesises the minor four. these kumaras (or their present substitutes) can also be divided into the seven groups which correspond to the seven rays, and are in themselves the life of the centre for which they stand. fifteen, therefore, of these entities (again the ten and the five) form a centre in the body of the planetary logos, and the three kumaras about whom we are told (who in themselves are fivefold, making the fifteen) a

t the manasic principle (whether cosmic, systemic, or human) manifests in five ways, is transmuted into wisdom after its fivefold manifestation, and eventually is resolved into pure will or power. herein lies the clue; all the objective display we see around us in connection with the heavenly men, and with the cells of their bodies, lies hidden in this. herein may be found the mystery of the five kumaras, who are awaiting the final resolution, and herein is secreted the knowledge of divine alchemy, which is based on the five elements, and is concerned with their transformation into a primal element through the medium of an intermediate stage. 1. in the planets. occult students need, in considering these points, to remember very clearly the distinction between transmutation and the final re

ity of the divine manasaputras. they are will utilising matter, or active intelligent substance, in order to demonstrate love-wisdom; all this is based on purpose, and has causation as a fundamental. this brahma aspect is fivefold and, with the vishnu aspect, makes the six, or the pentagon, having mahadeva or will in the centre of all manifestation. second. this fivefold brahma aspect or the five kumaras, are in full manifestation, and, with the reflection of the other two aspects, make the seven of our manifested system. third. mercury and venus are in process of transmutation, and the manasic principle in both these schemes, having reached a high stage of development, is being transmuted into love-wisdom. when three fifths of the units (deva and human) that go to the composition of the v

millions of human beings out of objective manifestation, or discarnate, on the subtler planes of the solar system, so there may be cosmic entities, in rank equal to the one about whom naught may be said, who are in a similar sense discarnate, and found in realms subtler than that of the manifestation of light. 3. on the earth- 241- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust a. the five kumaras. we might now consider briefly the subject of the five kumaras, who are the sum total of manas on the earth. i have stated that the lord of the world, the first kumara, is the planetary logos of our scheme in physical incarnation, but nowhere has the impression been conveyed that the three kumaras, associated with him, are three other planetary logoi. this is in no way the case. these thre

carnation, but nowhere has the impression been conveyed that the three kumaras, associated with him, are three other planetary logoi. this is in no way the case. these three, called the "buddhas of activity" are but the vicegerents upon our planet of those three planetary logoi, who, with our planetary logos, make the sum total of the logoic quaternary. associated with them are the three esoteric kumaras, mentioned in the secret doctrine,46(129) who represent the three other logoi, and so make focal points for all the logoic forces within our chain. in each chain such representatives are found, six focal points embraced by the seventh, the planetary logos of the scheme, who holds them all within his aura. their work is threefold: first. they are the centres in the body of the planetary log

holds them all within his aura. their work is threefold: first. they are the centres in the body of the planetary logos. each chain corresponds to one centre, and the globes are but the lesser wheels within any particular centre. the life of the logos in this incarnation on the earth is flowing through three centres and beginning to stimulate a fourth, hence four globes are involved and the three kumaras (so called for lack of a better term) are vitally intelligently active; three are in abeyance and one is beginning to function. the globes correspond to the chains. this fourth kumara is as yet practically unrealised, but as hinted at earlier his day is about to dawn. second. they act as transmitters of a particular type of force to those units who go to the content of any particular centr

t this ray concerns itself with the building of form, with the utilisation of matter, with the embodying of ideas, or of entities, whether cosmic, systemic, lunar, or subhuman. the planetary logos of this fifth systemic ray holds a peculiar position in the scheme of things. he is the embodiment of the fifth logoic principle of manas. his is the synthesising scheme for the five schemes of the five kumaras who are brahma, when viewed as the sum total of the third logoic aspect, though he is not the synthesising factor for the seven schemes which are the sum total of logoic manifestation considered as the union of the second and third aspects. this is a point of prime importance to bear in mind. his is the influence that leads to the scientific adaptation of matter to form, and his is the lif

n the same force will be felt returning, and a new form will be found slowly coming into being, but along more adequate lines. it will consequently be apparent how the knowledge of these cycles, and of the force manifestation or obscuration of a ray will eventually lead to a working with the law, and to an intelligent co-operation with the plan of evolution. it might here be stated that the seven kumaras (the four exoteric and the three esoteric) cooperate with this law, and work exoterically, or esoterically according to the ray in power, with the exception of the first kumara, the logos of our scheme, who being the synthesizing point for all remains ever in objective activity. it is this ray activity which governs the obscuration or manifestation of a system, and a scheme with all that i

ot of three planetary logoi who form a systemic triangle. he cannot exhibit this power in the higher planes nor within the spheres of the synthesising and neutral schemes. after the sixth initiation his power extends to the two planes beyond the three worlds, the buddhic and the atmic, and within the spheres of the entire brahma aspect as we visualise it as the totality of the schemes of the five kumaras who are brahma. at the seventh initiation he has power on all the seven planes and within the entire number of schemes; all the sacred words are then his and he can work in matter of all grades, sound all notes, and control all types of force. he stands ready then to guide the life to regions outside the solar sphere of influence. but on the physical plane he works primarily with the words

us happenings, and i would suggest to all occult investigators the close study and scrutiny of the following manifestations in time and space: 1. the fourth creative hierarchy..the human. 2. the fourth scheme..o. ur earth scheme. 3. the fourth chain..the earth chain. 4. the fourth globe..our planet. 5. the fourth kingdom..the human. 6. the fourth round..the first strictly human round. 7. the four kumaras..embodiers of humanity. 8. the fourth plane..the buddhic, the human goal. 9. the fourth ether..t. he physical correspondence of the buddhic plane- 294- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust one fundamental sound is responded to by all these varied factors; it is the note that is the cause of their existence and the basis of their being. this note, if sought for and found, wi

. this cleavage will be self-induced, and a natural outgrowth of the group life; it will in itself be of a temporary nature for the fundamental aim in view will be the bringing about of an eventual closer merging; it will mark primarily the line of demarcation between the lower four rays of consciousness, and the higher three. it is also a mystery hid in the relationship between the four exoteric kumaras,71(149) and the esoteric three, and from the point of view of man separates those who are developing the consciousness of the triad from those who as yet are living the life of the quaternary. it concerns those who respond to the solar lords, distinguishing them from those who recognise as yet only the control of the lunar lords. in terms of fire: those who warm themselves by means of fire

ally spiritual stages, of his evolution, are really related more intimately to the evolution of the heavenly man, and are connected with the stimulus which he receives himself in contacting the logoic electric spark, or the pure spirit aspect of the logos. it should here be noted that this ninefold development is hinted at in the secret doctrine in the various places where h. p. b. deals with the kumaras77(155) or the heavenly men, of whom the microcosm is a reflection. she calls them the lords of knowledge, the lords of love and- 319- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust the lords of sacrifice. each of them is a nine-petalled lotus in the logoic body. they are the flaming wheels, and in their various names, as found in the secret doctrine, may be discovered the clue to the

the life fluids, but also the generator of a certain type of intelligent essence which is the positive factor in the life of the cell. some idea can be gathered from this as to the microcosmic process, for the individualization of the units is brought about through a macrocosmic happening which produces effects in the microcosm. a final point here needs emphasising. occultly understood, the five kumaras or the five mind-born sons of brahma are the embodiers of this manasic force on our planet; but they only reflect (in the hierarchy of our planet) the function of the five kumaras or rishis who are the lords of the five rays manifesting through the four lesser planets and the synthesising planet. these five kumaras are the channels for this force and one of them, the lord of the planet ven

nction of the fifth hierarchy, and it is not possible to reveal more of it. the secret of buddhi, the sixth or christ principle, which concerns these sons of god, and the secret of the fifth hierarchy which is the vehicle or recipient of buddhi, cannot be mentioned outside initiated circles. it holds hid the possibility of egoic unfoldment, and keeps secret the karma of the heavenly men, the five kumaras. the fifth principle of manas is embodied in the five kumaras, and if the student studies the significance of the first five petals which are unfolded in the egoic lotus, he may touch upon the fringe of the mystery. the fifth ray, which is the ray of the fifth kumara, is potently responsive to the energy flowing through the fifth hierarchy. as the student of occultism knows, the lord of th
