ALICE A BAILEY23 THE EXTERNALISATION OF THE HIERARCHY

the initiates of all lands, but it must necessarily remain personally unverified by you until a much later date in your unfoldment. the spirit of peace who is invoked in the second phrase, let the spirit of peace be spread abroad, is that mysterious and divine entity with whom the christ came into touch and whose influence played through him at the time that he earned the right to be called the "prince of peace" as i have elsewhere told you in my earlier writings, the christ embodied in himself the cosmic principle of love, the expression of which in manifestation will work out as "glory to god, peace on earth and goodwill towards men" to this the angels testified at his birth. when he expressed this principle of love in his life and world service, he definitely linked up our planet and h

love (atma-buddhi) and because of this, his consciousness became extra-planetary as is the consciousness of the lord of the world, and he could then touch certain heights of awareness and contact certain solar agencies which had never before been contacted by man. this achievement enabled him to put humanity in touch with the spirit of peace. he thus himself became the light of the world and the prince of peace. in this manner, shamballa and the hierarchy were brought into a close relationship and two great streams of force were blended and a definite interplay set up between them. the buddha, through his achievement of illumination, established the first major link with the forces of light. the christ, through his ability to express the will of god in love and as world salvage, establish

very land, asking them to associate themselves in their own way and with their own people, and to do this on as large a scale as possible as large, at least, as that of your effort in may, 1936. the times are ripe for a response to these ideas; the recognised pain and distress of the world will open both hearts and purses. the idea of a christmas appeal and call to prayer and to invocation of the prince of peace will be potent in evoking a desirable reaction, and will serve also to blend into closer unity all who recognise the work the hierarchy is attempting to do. i would ask you to call for help from all sides, and to let these ideas work out into the world on the basis of their usefulness and opportuneness. omit from this appeal none that you know, for through them millions can be reac

usefulness and opportuneness. omit from this appeal none that you know, for through them millions can be reached and swung into the desired activity. to those of you who can appreciate and use the great invocation, i would suggest its renewed and earnest use. this alternative invocation might, however, be suggested and found useful "o lord of light and love, come forth and rule the world. may the prince of peace appear and end the warring of the nations. may the reign of light and love and justice be begun. let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with us" the coming world order april 1940 this analysis of world conditions is being written in america, where there is, as yet, relative physical safety and time for the re-adjustment of views, and the opportunity also to give- 114- the ex

ulness, because the majority of those who used it turned it into a peace prayer. it was instead a great spiritually militant invocative demand. this must not happen with this stanza of invocation. it is a demand; it is also an authoritative affirmation of existent fact; it sets in motion agencies and forces hitherto quiescent, and these can change the face of the world battlefield; it invokes the prince of peace, but he carries a sword, and the effects of his activity may prove surprising to those who see only the needs of the form aspect of humanity. that strength and enlightenment may be yours and the power to stand and the ability to fight for the release of humanity is the prayer and the appeal of your brother, the tibetan. the great invocation- stanza two september 1940 it has seemed

s, and when there is real synthesis of goal and of purpose and a true unification of vision upon the mental plane, of fixed and unalterable desire upon the emotional plane, and a dedication to practical effort upon the physical plane, then there will be hope that the embodiment of "the desire of all nations" will appear. that embodiment is one mode in which divine intervention can take place. the prince of peace will lead his people through war to peace. those who think only in terms of peace as they understand it and desire it are apt to forget the biblical implication that the prince of peace takes a definite part in the battle of armageddon (now in full progress. after achieving victory, he will then lead his triumphant cohorts through the gates into "jerusalem" the city of peace. the s

ot be declared here. only some questions, suggesting possibility, are permissible. think you that his body of manifestation is already on earth, waiting to be overshadowed, inspired and used at the right time, as was the vehicle of the master jesus by the christ? there are those who say that it is waiting and has been waiting for 22 years. is it possible that there will be a sudden descent of the prince of light and peace to change present conditions by the effectiveness of his radiance and his message? there are those who look for him to suddenly appear, and they number millions of expectant people. some say he is already on his way. is it possible that this wesak festival will see him approach nearer to the hierarchy and make a contact with them? some say it will take place. can the "mas

world peace an effective outcome of wise action and the establishment of right human relations. just as the great lord of love and son of god, the christ, used as his vehicle of expression on earth, the form of the master jesus, so this great extra-planetary life, the spirit of peace, can be enabled, on a higher turn of the spiral, to use as his vehicle of expression, the form of the christ, the prince of peace; thus his stupendous energies will be stepped down through the medium of the lord of love and become available to the mass of men. i gave you later another stanza of the invocation, of great power which was suited to the conditions of war a war which proved inevitable and unavoidable. this last invocation was not- 261- the externalisation of the hierarchy copyright 1998 lucis trust

action to spiritual hope, to the expectancy and to the curiously widespread belief that divine intervention is possible and at hand. as the momentum of this spiritual activity develops, so will the responsiveness among men develop, and if the reaction is that which is hoped for, it will be the masses everywhere who will slowly unite to bring about the conditions needed for the reappearance of the prince of peace, bringing with him the potency and the benediction of the avatar of synthesis. the number of these semi-enlightened people is growing fast; desperation is hastening their response to help from on high, and in due time their numbers will be so great that totalitarianism, as well as chaotic democracy, will not be able to stand against them. this is no mystical or visionary dream with

GRIFFIN DAVID MAGICAL EVOCATION OF THE AVERSE FORCES

ychology has emerged to fill the role once played by theurgy. we live in an age of religious tolerance, wherein christians may again begin to embrace the value of magic. indeed, christ the magus is the ideal of christian magicians. let the intolerant and the self-righteous remember that the religious leaders of his day accused christ himself of evil magic, of commanding demons by the power of the prince of demons. hierarchies of demons an important obstacle to overcome in the practice of magical evocation is the difficulty to find a suitable hierarchy of averse forces. the hierarchies in most of the grimoires are hopelessly corrupt, largely due to the practice of young religions to demonize gods and angels from the pantheons of pre-existing and contemporaneous spiritual traditions. for exa

he new day was inaugurated in the red dawn-light, noah went with his wives and sons into the desert beyond the city-walls and there prayed to lofty heaven and knelt in abasement more worthy of beasts to the throne of adonai yahweh. thus did he await the elohim, michael, with his family, giving them over to heaven as beasts at the market-place. all day did they wait and pray for some vision of the prince of heaven who had vowed to meet with noah and instruct him in the law of god, that mankind might be bound also to the will of him eluded by the shedim. nephilim and shedim shall kneel no more but go as proud gods upon the earth. as all this had passed upon the earth so had the happenings in heaven been consequential. flying swift from the earth to heaven and passing there straight to the he

ually becoming known, largely by means of a cipher story which he wrote secretly in the many works which he published. that story is of entrancing interest, but it does not concern us here. a sketch of it may be found in my book the hidden side of christian festivals, from which i am epitomizing this account(*op. cit, p. 303) 31. a century later we are told that he took birth as jozsef rakoczi, a prince of transylvania. we find him mentioned in the encyclopedias, but not much information is given. after that considerable mystery surrounds his movements. he seems to have travelled about europe, and he turns up at intervals, but we have little definite knowledge about him. he was the comte de s. germain at the time of the french revolution, and worked much with madame blavatsky, who was at t

throne at the time when the expedition from south india arrived had a daughter but no son, his wife having died in child-birth. the newcomers were received with great cordiality by both king and high-priest, and intermarriage with the strangers became a coveted honour in the egyptian families, especially as the king had approved the marriage of his daughter with the leader of the band, who was a prince of india. 62. in a few generations the aryan blood had tinged the entire egyptian nobility, and this produced the type, well known from the monuments, which had aryan features, but the toltec colouring. after many centuries there came a ruler who was influenced by a foreign princess, whom he had espoused, to cast aside the aryan traditions and establish lower forms of worship; but the clan

t circle- nay, more, that he is working only on the surface of an infinite sphere. 785. the rose-croix 786. it is then that he begins his second great quest, which leads up through a number of stages, during which different attributes of the all-father are studied and to some extent realized, until it culminates in the magnificent illumination given in the eighteenth degree, that of the sovereign prince of the rose-croix of heredom, through which he finds the divine love reigning in his own heart and in those of his brn. he also learns that god has descended and shared our lower nature with us expressly in order that we may ascend to share his true nature with him. 787. the name of t.g.a.o.t.u. which is revealed to the aspirant in this most wonderful 18 was the central and innermost secret

officials in conducting the work of the lodge or chapter; in this 18 and in other still higher degrees we do that, also, but the type of angels who respond is different, for each degree has its own kind of deva-attendant. in these cases, however, the support of the angelic kingdom is much more fully extended; not only have we the aid of the devas in the performance of our ceremonies, but to each prince of heredom at the time of his perfection a special angel is attached, to help him in his private and individual work for the cause. this will be more readily com-prehensible if i mention first the characteristic of the other degrees. 795. black masonry 796. few need anything further than the splendid revelation of the indwelling love of god which they receive in the eighteenth degree. but t

ave mattered very much; but now it becomes far more serious, for even its rapid passage may do considerable harm to the object of our wrath. 812. our relation with the angels 813. we must consider heedfully the relation with the angelic kingdom into which these higher degrees bring us, for it is a matter of the utmost importance. at the moment of his perfecting, there is attached to the sovereign prince of the rose-croix a splendid crimson angel- a being of beauty, dignity and power beyond the utmost stretch of our imagination. 814. what is the nature of this attachment, and what will be the practical effect of this beautiful partnership? the angel links himself with the higher principles of the man, most of all with the buddhi or intuitional wisdom, and the result should presently show it

terrupted, and it does not seem probable that they were seriously worked during the fifty years of exile. nevertheless, the succession of i.m.s remained unbroken, and when the people returned from babylon to rebuild the temple, they also tried to reconstruct their rites of initiation. 293. herein we find the facts underlying the tradition of the third or grand and royal lodge; for zerubbabel, the prince of judah, and jeshua, the high priest, were largely instrumental in this work of restoration and renewal. the same difficulty recurred again, for it was never allowed to write down the rituals; once more it was necessary to rely upon memory for the major part of the tradition, and only a very few could have recollected the actual workings in the days before the captivity. nevertheless they

he had at heart; and although it has been said that in 1777 prince charles denied to an emissary of the strict observance(*ibid, p. 110) that he had ever been a freemason, such an official d menti is not unknown even to-day in political circles, and perhaps we need not attach great importance to it. 734. the scottish adherents of king james ii, who followed him into exile after the landing of the prince of orange in 1688, brought to the english court at s. germains (which had been placed at the disposal of the king by louis xiv) those ancient rites of heredom and kilwinning, intermingled with the templar tradition, to which we have already referred. when king james ii fled from england he took refuge at the jesuit abbey of clermont, which had attached to it a college of clermont in paris

poet charles baudelaire made use of the same inversion. for example, in his poem the possessed, baudelaire exclaimed, there is no fiber in my trembling body that does not cry, dear beelzebub, i adore you! the conflicting images of the devil we have inherited from the past have become yet more ambiguous in the present because the segment of the population that accepts the real existence of an evil prince of darkness is in the minority and steadily diminishing. this does not mean that the traditional image of satan has been completely eclipsed. although christianity no longer exercises hegemony over the thought world of the industrialized nations of the west, conservative christians still constitute a significant subpopulation. the strength of this constituency is evident in many ways, from

stentialism with those of satanism (or setianism, as well as certain important differences. in the ideas of both heidegger and sartre, we see a recognition of the isolation and aloneness of the individual within the structure of the objective universe and its indifference to individual existence. as satanism asserts, each individual is an isolated psyche within the objective universe, just as the prince of darkness himself is. as well, the individual setian knows that this objective universe has no concern with him or her self as such, that no "god" in the traditional sense exists who will embrace or care for their existence. apart from this, both heidegger and sartre assert that these two facts, the isolation of consciousness and the absence of god, places the individual in the unique pos

, the individual cannot pass this responsibility on to any sort of supposed divinity and maintain any sort of honesty and integrity. setians will strongly identify with this, as they realize that the gift of set has placed them in the unique role of being self-creator in every sense of the word. also, in spite of the affirmation of having this unique ability as a result of the intervention of the prince of darkness in our remote evolutionary past, the setian cannot attribute his or her behavior, whether perceived as positive or negative, to set. sartre goes even further, pointing out that the individual is not only responsible for their own making, but for that of a world of his or her own choosing. i see this as an intimation of a magical view of existence, even though sartre would surely

uino, the church of satan; and a great emphasis is placed upon the carnal aspect of man, which the satanist feels to have been not only neglected by conventional religions but also actively repressed, at the cost of inducing a great many neuroses and much unnecessary suffering. in a broader, more general sense, i apply the term to the setian philosophy (whose patron is the oldest semblance of the prince of darkness known to us, the egyptian set, brother of the sun god horus, and symbolic of the night and the lunar principle 4, the first principle of which is the egyptian hieroglyph xeper 5, which means "become" or "come into being" and is symbolized by the scarab beetle. the setian philosophy espoused by the temple of set is highly eclectic and highly existential. for this reason, the sacr

he setian greater black magical working is to be distinguished from conventional religious worship in that the setian does not identify set with god, but understands him to be a finite being who is engaged in a constant process of becoming. nor does the setian abase himself before this being, but instead sees him as a teacher. ultimately, though, it is the setian who must apply his knowledge. the prince of darkness is no redeemer; rather, every individual setian is his own redeemer. blind faith is not a factor here, for it is expected that one will accept a principle only after careful consideration and on the basis of the evidence which one has at his disposal (in fact, there are those satanists and setians by whom the prince of darkness is understood in an allegorical context) however, t

l environment- it is inscripted. true will and individuality is a rather rare commodity, and becoming even more rare in the post-modern age of group-think where the i of the self has been replaced with us, we, our and them. it is only through individual becoming attained through spiritual anarchy to existing ideas not your own that independence is truly obtained. it is this playing field that the prince of darkness inscribes true evil. we can now speak about the anti-nature of the devil, for through our understanding of the nature of the principle of least resistance- the essential activity nature of god- we can begin to draw inferences regarding the anithesis of this principle; spiritual transformation through paths of resistance. the concept of adversary lies within the dichotomy of appr

issent, separation and individuality of the psyche from god. the environment of the devil, and of true evil cannot, and does not, exist within the realm of nature/matter as we perceive it. this is the realm of god, to place the devil within this environment makes the devil nothing more than a puppet of god- dancing an eternal dance not of his own making. the single most indentifying factor of the prince of darkness is that he has no master other than himself. so, what is the precise non-natural environment that true evil and the devil- in what ever form- works within? the environment from which true evil is manifest, and in which the prince of darkness makes his presence known is within the realm of human consciousness, human thought and ideas- the mind. these are then transferred from the

rom which true evil is manifest, and in which the prince of darkness makes his presence known is within the realm of human consciousness, human thought and ideas- the mind. these are then transferred from the abstract plane of existence- our individual thoughts and ideas- into matter through various creative and artisitic manifestations, intellectualism and their resultant works. the realm of the prince of darkness lies within the mind of man as opposed to a manifestation into matter, nature and the universe- that which is the realm and reflection of god. the first is encapsulated within the untouchable separation of abstract thought and individual consciousness; the second lies within the denser material of that which exists outside of thought and consciousness, all of which impact and in

ameters and rules of physics governing it. these rules are, for the most part, discovered through scientific means. or they are understood cerebrally, intuitively or magically through means that are not taught by observation of matter, but rather through the observation of consciousness within oneself or the realm of not-matter or abstraction i.e, thought- that which is the actual dominion of the prince of darkness. there no single realm of proportion that consciousness is necessarily bound to- consciousness is expansive. however, each individual is bound by their own ability to break down those barriers to further extension. the limits of this penetration constitute the boundaries of personal understanding, and it is antinomianism that initiates the breakdown of these boundaries. the real

magog, representing those earthly minions of satan who will attack the people of god in a final great battle of good versus evil. in jewish eschatology, writings about the end of days state that the armies of gog and magog will eventually be defeated and the world will finally be at peace. throughout the bible the antichrist bears many titles: son of perdition, man of sin, man of lawlessness, the prince of destruction/ abomination, and the beast. the prophet daniel describes the man in great detail: he shall be an evil king who will exalt himself and magnify himself above every god and shall speak outrageous things against the god of gods, and shall prosper until the indignation is accomplished: for that which has been determined shall come to pass. neither shall he regard the god of his f

ddition, he wrote seven holy texts, ranging from a collection of his letters to his living gospel and his own version of the acts of the apostles. according to mani s theology, in the beginning of the universe the powers of good and evil, light and dark, were placed in two different spheres. the father of greatness personified the principle of goodness and light, the divine and the spiritual. the prince of darkness represented the principle of evil and the material. over time, the world became a place of constant struggle and turmoil between an evil kingdom of darkness and the particles of light and goodness that had eventually become ensnared in matter. to assist him in the great battle, the father of greatness created the mother of life, who produced primordial man as an instrument of li

particles of light and goodness that had eventually become ensnared in matter. to assist him in the great battle, the father of greatness created the mother of life, who produced primordial man as an instrument of light to combat the powers of darkness. with the assistance of the living spirit, a second divine personage fashioned by the father of greatness, primordial man fought the forces of the prince of darkness. in the process of the great struggle, the physical earth was created as a kind of by-product of the raging cosmic energies. although primordial man was defeated by the prince of darkness and his children devoured by the monster, enough of their light leaked out to enable the third messenger, another creation of the father of greatness, to rescue them. humans were later produced

tely, the yatuk dinoih is a dangerous grimoire which can build or destroy the self, depending on the will and the control of the sorcerer. the left hand path is a lonely road of non-union with the natural order, that is by the antinomian path of individual strength. rewritten, reworked and encompassing the persian system of sorcery the yatuk dinoih presents the background and idea of ahriman, the prince of darkness, a sorcerous spirit who is made of darkness (the adversary, who takes the shape and shadow form of a toad, serpent, wolf and dragon. ahriman represents the sabbatic and luciferian adversary formula, the 13 initiatory state of transforming and becoming something other than being dissolved in the natural order. this grimoire presents systems of personal sorcery, in which through t

seker is made reference to as being great god who carrieth away the soul, who eateth hearts, and who feedeth upon offal, the guardian of darkness, the god who is in the seker boat. this draws a comparison to the persian-iranian ahriman, who was also an opposing sorcerous daemon of darkness, who by averse practices, became stronger and immortal. set had legions of devils called seba who served the prince of darkness, and were known to hack and devour certain souls. in a modern initiatory context, the magician understands the these god forms represent isolate intellect, and self-deification through antinomian acts. set and seker have an interesting connection. in the xviith chapter of the book of the dead the spirit of the deceased prays that he is kept from the great god who devour the hear
