ibezhan adepts had to deal with a humanity which was in its infancy, whose polarization was most unstable, and whose coordination was very imperfect. there was very little mentality to be found and men were practically altogether astral; they functioned even more consciously on the astral plane than on the physical, and it was part of the work of these early adepts, working under instruction from shamballa to develop the energy centres of the human unit, stimulate the brain and make him fully self-conscious on the physical plane. their objective was to bring about a realization of the kingdom of god within, and little attention was paid (in their training of their disciples) to the bringing about of the realization of god in nature or in other units. it was necessary in those days to emplo

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

ou also to establish the inner link with- 162- discipleship in the new age- volume i copyright 1998 lucis trust your fellow disciples and this you have realised and it has troubled you. the difficulty is due to the fact that your polarisation is essentially that of the man devoted to the hierarchy and whose link is established with that hierarchy. your orientation esoterically speaking is towards shamballa. i use that phrase because it connotes something definitely intelligible to you. i seek not to be more explicit, for you will comprehend the significance of what i say. you serve and love your fellowmen because we, the teachers on the inner side also serve and love them; your approach to humanity and to your co-disciples is via those whom you serve upon "the lighted way of the lord of li

e to clearly directed intent, to comprehension of the purpose for which a group of disciples exists, and an increasingly intelligent participation in the master's creative activity. the group of a master is a focus of power, built up by the master in three ways: 1. by the potency of his own thought life, evoked by his response to the united hierarchical purpose and a growing ability to respond to shamballa. 2. by his ability to integrate the centre of power (his group for which he has made himself responsible) into the immediate activity of the hierarchy- 529- discipleship in the new age- volume i copyright 1998 lucis trust 3. by his wisdom in his choice of collaborators. his group of disciples will be effective in world service and useful to his superiors just in so far as he employs judg

ciples who read my words to realise that initiation is not something which they undergo as a result of any training which they may receive from a master or because they have reached a certain stage of advanced evolution. it is a process of continuing integration into centres of force, i.e, into a master's group, into the hierarchy as a whole and consciously, and as disciples attain adeptship into shamballa. you can see, therefore, that a master can be greatly hindered or aided in his work for humanity by his choice of disciples. they should ponder on this fact because in so doing the process of decentralisation will proceed more rapidly and their love and service will consequently increase with a paralleling certainty and surety. i would have all disciples grasp this clearly and so get int

service first. what is that work? to provide a working intelligent and consecrated group of servers through whom hierarchical plans can be carried forward and to demonstrate, upon the physical plane, a focal point of spiritual energy. this can then be employed by the hierarchy to help humanity everywhere, particularly in this time of crisis. the plans of the hierarchy, as they embody the will of shamballa, can be and are carried out; the process, however, is either a conscious one or an unconscious mass response to impression. among the disciples of the world, the response and- 535- discipleship in the new age- volume i copyright 1998 lucis trust subsequent activity is a conscious one and leads to intelligent undertakings. the task of the master is to evoke from his disciples such a depth

tual wisdom and intuitive perception. the third point which i would like to bring out is that disciples when they form part of an ashram are subjecting themselves to a greatly increased pressure and are in a position to participate in much wider distribution of energy than heretofore. today, as the coming one nears the earth and draws closer to humanity, and as the inflow of spiritual energy from shamballa into the hierarchical centre becomes greater, there is a great keying up of human receptivity and a greatly augmented stimulation is taking place with varying effects. this involves an intensified aspiration and spiritual determination. it also signifies an opportunity of an unprecedented nature. you have been told that when the buddha came and worked on earth, many aspirants entered the

figuration of those who are on the crest of the human wave of civilisation is very close at hand. 4. finally, in the triumph of the crucifixion or (as it is more accurately called in the east) the great renunciation, christ, for the first time, anchored on earth a tenuous thread of the divine- 27- the reappearance of the christ copyright 1998 lucis trust will as it issued from the father's house (shamballa, passed into the understanding custody of the kingdom of god and, through the medium of the christ, was brought to the attention of mankind. through the instrumentality of certain great sons of god, the three divine aspects or characteristics of the divine trinity will, love and intelligence have become a part of human thinking and aspiration. christians are apt to forget that the crisis

nding of the divine spiritual "push" or enterprise that his way will be made easier. they and their groups of lesser disciples, aspirants and students of the realities stand unitedly behind the christ and can thus enable him to accomplish his purpose. their major realisation is that of a cyclic crisis in the spiritual life of our planet; it is one which has been anticipated in the father's house (shamballa) for thousands of years. they have registered the fact that, for the first time in human history, all the three spiritual centres or groups through which god works are unitedly focussed on the same objective. shamballa, the spiritual hierarchy and humanity (the father's house, the kingdom of god and the world of men) are all striving in one vast movement for an intensification of the lig

n as love and light within the heart. when this livingness is present and expressing itself, the human atom becomes a part of the spiritual hierarchy. 3. as life more abundantly. this life can be known as light, love and power within and above the head of the disciple of the christ. this abundant life enables him to cooperate, not only with humanity and with the spiritual hierarchy, but also with shamballa itself the centre of life in its purest essence. if we say that life is the livingness which enables, the words are relatively meaningless, are they not? if, however, the livingness is referred to the physical plane life, to the spiritual life of the disciple and to the living purpose of god, then some faint concept may come of the wonder of- 45- the reappearance of the christ copyright

ater, through the cooperation of the avatar of synthesis, christ will be able to blend within himself both of these major divine energies, and thus be a pure expression of love and wisdom, of right relationship and intuitive understanding. in order to make this possible and thus release his spiritual brother from the arduous task of relating humanity to the "centre where the will of god is known (shamballa, christ is subjecting himself at this time to an unique process of training. of this training, his thirty years of work in the carpenter's shop in palestine has ever been the hitherto unrecognised symbol. the word "carpenter" is significant of building, of construction, and means (in its derivation) someone who is an artificer in timber or a builder of wooden houses. this is the true mea

ring towards god, seeking conformity with the will of god and dedicated to the expression of right human relation. this will be fixed annually in relation to the full moon of june. it will be a day whereon the spiritual and divine nature of mankind will be recognised. on this festival for two thousand years the christ has represented humanity and has stood before the hierarchy and in the sight of shamballa as the god-man, the leader of his people and "the eldest in a great family of brothers (romans viii.29. each year at that time he has preached the last sermon of the buddha, before the assembled hierarchy. this will, therefore, be a festival of deep invocation and appeal, of a basic aspiration towards fellowship, of human and spiritual unity, and will represent the effect in the human co

tivity. the ways in which humanity itself is affected by this 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 d

s hatred of the individual. it may work out as the arresting of the individual's activities or enterprises where that is deemed desirable in the interests of the whole and if what he is doing is estimated as harmful to the good of the group. but the arresting will not be destructive. it will be educational and developing in its results. the true first ray personality who works in response to this shamballa influence will have the ultimate good of the group deeply enshrined in his consciousness and heart; he will think in terms of the whole and not in terms of the part. that is the thing which he will endeavour to impress upon the racial consciousness. this may lead at times to ruthlessness and cruelty if the personality of the individual is not yet controlled by soul impulse. such cases ca

r the attainment of first ray objectives. it might be apposite here to point out that such first ray exponents of force are often misunderstood and hated. they may and often do misuse the energy available but they also use it constructively within the desired limits of the immediate plan. i would also like to state that the lot of a first ray disciple is hard and difficult. there are disciples of shamballa just as there are disciples of the- 8- the destiny of the nations copyright 1998 lucis trust hierarchy and this is a fact hitherto not recognised and never as yet referred to in the current writings on occult subjects. it is wise and valuable to remember this. they are powerful, these disciples of shamballa, headstrong and often cruel; they impose their will and dictate their desires; th

of the nations copyright 1998 lucis trust hierarchy and this is a fact hitherto not recognised and never as yet referred to in the current writings on occult subjects. it is wise and valuable to remember this. they are powerful, these disciples of shamballa, headstrong and often cruel; they impose their will and dictate their desires; they make mistakes but they are nevertheless true disciples of shamballa and are working out the will of god as much as the disciples and masters of the hierarchy are working out the love of god. this is a hard saying for some of you but 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 destr

e of you but 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 ex

often to turn this energy to their own selfish ends. if human beings (even the best of them) were not so undeveloped and so superficial in their judgments and their vision, they would be able to penetrate behind what is going on in the key countries in the world and see the gradual emergence of new and better conditions, and the passing away of the loved, but slowly decaying forms. the energy of shamballa is, however, so new and so strange that it is hard for human beings to know it for what it is the demonstration of the will of god in new and potent livingness. 2. the second way in which this dominant will impulse makes itself felt is through the voice of the masses of the people throughout the world. this will express itself through sound, as consciousness or love does through light. t

trust is concentrated in this centre and which is manipulated by the initiates and the masters is making one of its cyclic impacts upon the earth and as i explained in volume ii of a treatise on the seven rays is also making one of its major cyclic approaches to humanity. the energy flowing through the hierarchy at this time the energy of love is seeking to blend with that which is flowing out of shamballa and is needed in order to make the desired application of it. the problem of the hierarchy at this time is to produce a wise and adequate fusion of the shamballa and the hierarchial energies and thus temper destruction and bring to the fore the spirit of construction, setting in motion the building and rehabilitating forces of the second ray energy. the shamballa energy prepares the way

ed upon the astral plane by the buddha, and on the mental plane when christ manifested on earth. it indicated the approaching maturity of humanity. the process has been slowly gathering momentum as these two great beings have gathered around them their disciples and initiates during the past two thousand years. it has reached a point of intensive usefulness as the channel of communication between shamballa and the hierarchy has been opened and enlarged, and as the contact between these two great centres and humanity has been more firmly established. at the june full moon, 1942, the first test as to the directness of the communication between the centre where the will of god holds sway, the centre where the love of god rules, and the centre where there is intelligent expectancy was made. th

ALICE A BAILEY17 TELEPATHY AND THE ETHERIC VEHICLE

d to the world of ideas. as far as our planetary life is concerned, there are certain great sources of impression and one or two of them might here be noted; you will thus gain some idea of the subtlety of the whole subject, of its close relation to energy impacts and of its group reception as differentiated from individual reception, as is the case in any telepathic rapport. 1. the impression of shamballa by: a. members of the great white lodge on sirius. the recipients of this impression are the highest members of the great council, presided over by the lord of the world. so subtle is this impression that these great lives can only receive it with accuracy when in full joint conference of the entire council, and also after due preparation. b. from one or other of the constellations which

he lord of the world and three of his council who are chosen by him at any specific time to act as recipients. these are the major entering impressions, recorded by what is glibly called "the universal mind" the mind of god, our planetary logos. there are other entering impressions, but to them i do not refer, as any reference would be meaningless to you. 2. the impression of the hierarchy by: a. shamballa itself through the medium of groups within the great council; these step down the impression which they register so that the hierarchy as a whole may cooperate with the purposes intended by those who are forming the needed plan. b. certain great lives who, at specific times and according to cyclic rhythm, or in times of emergency, are swung into this type of activity. for instance, one s

is usually en rapport. such a crisis is fast approaching. the first type of impression is rhythmic, recurrent and therefore cumulative in its intended effects. the second type of impression is the result of invocation and evocation and is dependent upon both the recipient and the agent. c. that great group of divine contemplatives who are trained to act as an intermediate receptive group between shamballa and the hierarchy. they receive impression from shamballa and transmit it to the hierarchy, thus enabling the members of the hierarchy to receive it as "a sharpened impression" and to register it accurately because the emanating impression has passed through an area within the divine mind where it is enhanced by the trained perception and the determined receptivity of this group. they ar

n the east, the divine nirmanakayas. i only mention their occult name so that you may learn to recognise them when you meet reference to them. d. the buddha at the time when the wesak festival is celebrated. he then acts as a focal point or as the "distributor of the impression; he then has behind him (little as you may realise it) the entire impressing force of the buddhas of activity who are to shamballa what the nirmanakayas are to the hierarchy- 26- telepathy and the etheric vehicle copyright 1998 lucis trust let me here interpolate a remark which may prove helpful and illuminating. we are dealing (as you will undoubtedly have noted) with the reception of impression by groups or by aggregations of groups composed of living beings who have their own agents of distribution or impression

the breaking of the law which has placed humanity in the position of guilt. the war is the dire penalty which humanity has had to pay for this great sin of separateness. impressions from the hierarchy have been received, distorted, misapplied and misinterpreted, and the task of the new group of world servers is to offset this evil. these servers are to humanity what the buddhas of activity are to shamballa, and the group of divine contemplatives (the nirmanakayas) are to the hierarchy. it might be stated therefore that: 1. the buddhas of activity are themselves impressed by the will of god as it energises the entire planetary life. 2. the nirmanakayas are impressed by the love of god as it demonstrates itself as the attractive force which impulses the plan inspired by the purpose. in other

the nirmanakayas) are to the hierarchy. it might be stated therefore that: 1. the buddhas of activity are themselves impressed by the will of god as it energises the entire planetary life. 2. the nirmanakayas are impressed by the love of god as it demonstrates itself as the attractive force which impulses the plan inspired by the purpose. in other words, it is the hierarchy, impelled to action by shamballa, or the will-to-good, externalising itself as goodwill. 3. the new group of world servers are impressed by the active intelligence of god; they translate this divine impression and step it down in two great stages, therefore, bringing it into concrete manifestation. we now carry this conception of divine impression down to the level of the human consciousness. 3. the impression of humani

e and the throat centre. in the above i have given you an interesting and brief elucidation of the technique to be applied to the energising of the centres in the human body. i would remind you that what is true of the individual disciple must be and is true of that great disciple humanity, the entire human family. it is also true, as an outgrowth of this idea, of all the three planetary centres: shamballa, the hierarchy and humanity. the name science of impression is that given to the process whereby the establishment of the required relationship in all these units of life takes place. the technique of invocation and evocation is the name given to the mode or method whereby the desired relationship is brought about. the creative work is the name given to the manifestation of the results o

tunity. i would ask you to remember this and to endeavour, in relation to this new experiment, to cultivate from the very start a humble spirit and the priceless gift of silence. a group of disciples must be distinguished, as i already told you, by pure reason which will steadily supersede motive, merging eventually into the will aspect of the monad, its major aspect. it is, technically speaking, shamballa in direct relation with humanity. what, therefore, is the group will in any ashram or master's group? is it present in any form vital enough to condition the group relations and to unite all into a band of brothers moving forward into the light? is the spiritual will of the individual personalities of such strength that it negates the personality relation and leads to spiritual recogniti

e chosen to work consciously and openly in the outer world of men, thus duplicating in their numbers what christ experienced when he "descended into hell" many things have to be considered; the objectives in view of the masters concerned, the rays in manifestation, and many astrological relationships. in this deciding judgment sanat kumara is being aided by certain members of the great council at shamballa, by the christ and by the seven masters who are responsible for the seven groups of ashrams. he is also reaching certain conclusions as to the groups of disciples who have hitherto been under training during the final stages of the path of discipleship. this decision has to take under advisement the rapidity with which the entrance of men and women into the ashrams can take place; it is

s in any ashram relieve to some extent the pressures upon the masters as well as upon the incoming and junior, and therefore inexperienced, disciples? if, however, the relation between the hierarchy and humanity is thus strengthened and there is freer access in both directions, there will clearly emerge the invocational pull or the magnetic potency of these blending centres: the pull will be upon shamballa, which is the highest centre of all. is the etheric web of the planet sufficiently stable and balanced so that it can adequately respond to the new and potent forces which could and will pour through it into objective expression? i- 43- discipleship in the new age- volume ii copyright 1998 lucis trust would remind you that the release of atomic energy has had a far more potent effect in

eir dead selves into living power and beauty? though sanat kumara is naturally unaware of the individual disciple or aspirant, he is not unaware of their massed effect, quality or status. contact and relationship are based upon vibratory reaction, and the potency of the united vibration of the disciples and aspirants of the world is today for the first time in human history strong enough to reach shamballa. this is a new and very interesting fact. the hierarchy therefore is: 1. in a position of extreme tension. 2. in a condition of quiescent waiting. it awaits: a. the decision which is on the verge of emanating from the judgment seat of sanat kumara. b. notification as to the period and mode of the coming externalisation. c. the proposed influx into its ranks of disciples and aspirants. d

quently pointed out all have in some past life taken the first initiation. every disciple has been to bethlehem and has seen the star in the east that star which shines forth in fuller splendour each time another initiation is taken. the difference between such disciples as you and the more advanced initiates is that your basic orientation is different to that of the masters. they are oriented to shamballa; they are relatively unaffected by affairs and happenings in the three worlds, even though that is the sphere wherein their work lies; there is nothing within them to react to these phases of planetary livingness. disciples and all initiates below the third initiation are oriented to the hierarchy. not the council chamber at shamballa or the way to the higher evolution engrosses their at

ters of equal rank as his own. i have five masters working with me in my ashram. it would be of value to you if you considered the factors which hold an ashram together and which establish its unity. the major ones, and those which you can understand, are as follows: 1. the most important capacity of a master of an ashram is that he has earned the right to communicate directly with the council at shamballa and thus to ascertain at first hand the immediate evolutionary task which the hierarchy is undertaking. he is not called master by the initiates in his ashram; he is regarded as the custodian of the plan, and this is based on his ability to "face the greater light which shines in shamballa" it is the plan which gives the keynote to the activities of any ashram at any particular time, dur

e mental processes which are synchronised with the brain, and then follows the impartation of these reflections to the outside world. the ashramic reflective meditation is an integral part of the constantly developing perception of the disciple-initiate, and it (in its turn) is a part of the whole hierarchical reflective meditation. this latter is based upon inspiration (in the occult sense) from shamballa. the moment a disciple can share in this constant unremitting meditation or reflection without its interfering with his service- 74- discipleship in the new age- volume ii copyright 1998 lucis trust and his other lines of thought, he becomes what is called "a disciple who shall no more go out" 4. another factor productive of group unity and synchronous precision in working is the complet

eam in world service. 5. one other factor i will mention among the many possible: the members of an ashram are all in the process of demonstrating love and pure reason, and they are at the same time focussing themselves in the will aspect of divinity. this statement may mean little to you at present but it is fundamentally the factor which creates the higher antahkarana, uniting the hierarchy and shamballa. this makes the planetary purpose of so much importance. these are the major factors which produce group unity; they have, as results, telepathic rapport and intuitive perception; but these are effects and not causes and are the product of the measure of the attained group unity. you can see, therefore, the scientific reason i had when i urged you in past years to have a group enterprise

lepathic rapport and intuitive perception; but these are effects and not causes and are the product of the measure of the attained group unity. you can see, therefore, the scientific reason i had when i urged you in past years to have a group enterprise, for it is a major unifying factor, and the inner ashram with which you are affiliated stands to you (at your particular point of development) as shamballa stands to the hierarchy from the angle of dynamic inspiration. had you done this (which you did not) the group would not have fallen apart as it has done. had you eliminated criticism, the essential unity would have been strengthened. one of the reasons i had for the complete frankness and so-called exposure of your individual weakness and limitations to the group as a whole was to train

ALICE A BAILEY23 THE EXTERNALISATION OF THE HIERARCHY

ealm of energies and forces. as i explained elsewhere (the destiny of the nations, pages 3-47, there are three great streams of energy working powerfully in the world at this time and two others are also struggling for expression, making the five that together will determine the trend of world affairs. to repeat briefly: 1. the first and the most powerful force is that pouring into the world from shamballa, the planetary centre where the will of god is known. only twice in our planetary history has this shamballa energy made its presence felt directly: the first time, when the great human crisis occurred at the individualisation of man in ancient lemuria; the second time, in atlantean days in the great struggle between the lords of light and the lords of material form, also called the dark

centre; it embodies the will aspect of the present world crisis and its two subsidiary effects or qualities are: a. the destruction of that which is undesirable and hindering in the present world forms (in government, religion and society- 47- the externalisation of the hierarchy copyright 1998 lucis trust b. the synthesising force which binds together that which has hitherto been separated. the shamballa force is so new and so unrecognised that it is hard for humanity to know it for what it is the demonstration of the beneficent will of god in new and potent livingness. 2. the second major force which is potently making itself felt today is that of the spiritual hierarchy, the planetary centre where the love of god holds sway, as it swings into one of its major cyclic approaches to the e

ree solar systems, referred to in a treatise on cosmic fire. in the first solar system, the centre which is humanity was prepared and the principle of intelligence came into manifestation. in the second solar system, the hierarchy of love made its appearance and must come into full manifestation, thereby enabling the love of god to be seen. in the next solar system, the centre which we today call shamballa, will manifest the will aspect of deity intelligently through love. it is interesting to note that it is only through human beings, that these three centres ever come into true functioning activity; and likewise that the three major ideologies (the totalitarian, the democratic, the communistic) may be the response distorted and yet responsive to the forces playing from the two higher cen

laying from the two higher centres on to the human. this we discussed earlier (the destiny of the nations, page 22. those of you who are seeking to serve humanity and to join in the hierarchical effort to bring healing to a world in pain, must learn to penetrate behind appearances, behind the methods and schemes, the results and effects on the physical plane and endeavour to contact the forces of shamballa or of the hierarchy, plus the human need which has produced these modes of expression and thus see them for what they are not worn out systems and childish efforts at improvement but embryonic plans whereby, eventually, may come release and the culture and civilisation of the new age. if you are seeking to bring illumination into the dark places of the earth (which means into the minds o

ark forces. they are not the problems of humanity but that of the hierarchy. the task of these forces is the preservation of the form life and the working out of methods and aims which are inherent in the processes of manifestation. the black lodge, so-called, is occupied with the form aspect of manifestation; the white lodge, with the consciousness aspect. it might, therefore, be stated that: 1. shamballa is occupied with the life aspect in its graded impulses. 2. the hierarchy is occupied with the consciousness aspect in its graded series of expansions. 3. the black lodge is occupied with the matter aspect in its multiplicity of forms. again, light may come to you, if you relate this triple statement to the three solar systems and to the three aspects of divinity. evil or wrong, therefor

isciples to express hatred of persons and ideologies, fostering the hidden seeds of hatred found in many human beings. they fan to fury the fear and hate of the world in an effort to preserve that which is old and make the unknown appear undesirable, and they hold back the forces of evolution and of progress for their own ends. these ends are as inscrutable 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 separati

n beings who are far more ancient in their origin than we are, will form one humanity and then there will be peace on earth. why our planet and this solar system should have been constituted the nursery for the seeds of separativeness and why this remnant of humanity, far more advanced than ours, should have been destined to work out its future on our earth, is hid in the knowledge of the lord of shamballa, and is unattainable knowledge for you and, indeed, for many in the hierarchy. it is simply a fact to be accepted by you. the solution will come, as i said, when the races regard the jewish problem as a humanitarian problem but also when the jew does his share of understanding, love and right action. this he does not yet do, speaking racially. he must let go of his own separative tendenc

ess. it would not have been necessary for me to deal with these world problems if you had been immune from emotional reactions to them, but very few of you have your minds clear from prejudice and free from hatred. those few make the work possible and it is also possible for the rest of you to detach your minds from undue influence and wrong ideas. i ask you, in this work, to concentrate upon the shamballa and the hierarchical forces. i ask you to regard yourselves as pure and unclogged channels and to seek only to be linked with the soul of each and all, whose nature is pure love, realised synthesis and divine potency. it is essential, however, in spite of the work to which i have called these groups and which as you know is intended to lay the basis for the work of the esoteric schools o

y can form its larger plans and know in what manner individual nations will react to stimulation and to progress of the desired kind. this is the modern form of the ancient atlantean laya-yoga, or the yoga of the centres. according, therefore, to the condition of the sensitive bodies of the planet, of nations and of individuals, so will be their reaction to the five kinds of inflowing forces. the shamballa force, for instance, in making its impact upon first ray types, and upon the other ray types on that line of major energy the third, fifth and seventh ray types evokes widely differing results than when it makes an impact upon the second ray line of energy; the results of the impact of shamballa energy upon the first ray individuals and nations can be potent in the extreme. this impact

response by mankind to great paralleling and originating happenings which involve the following groups: 1. the emanating avatar and his relationship to the lord of the world, our planetary logos. 2. the lords of liberation, focussed in their high place, as they become conscious of the invocation of humanity and become more closely related to the three buddhas of activity. 3. the great council at shamballa and the planetary hierarchy. 4. the buddha and his arhats as they unitedly cooperate with the christ and his disciples, the masters of the wisdom. 5. the hierarchy, the embodiment of the fifth kingdom in nature, and its magnetic attractive rapport with the human kingdom, the fourth. 6. the effect of all these great groups of lives upon humanity, and the inherent consequences as they work

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

and demonstration have been- 11- a treatise on the seven rays- volume v: the rays and the initiations copyright 1998 lucis trust shown will be the same hierarchy, characterised by the same soul awareness, animated by the same spiritual activity, functioning under the same laws, but conditioned by two progressive and evolutionary developments: 1. a much closer contact invocative and evocative with shamballa, and therefore a fuller responsiveness to the will aspect of divinity. 2. an invocative attitude on the part of humanity, based on a fundamental decentralisation of the selfish human consciousness and a rapidly awakening group consciousness. in reality, this means that the hierarchy will be more closely related to the great council at shamballa, and very much more closely interrelated wi

ia the antahkarana. i would have you remember that the will aspect is the final dominating principle. in the group application of these ideas the same basic and profound development must take place, and a group of disciples must be distinguished by pure reason, which will steadily supersede motive, merging eventually into the will aspect of the monad its major aspect. it is, technically speaking, shamballa in direct relation with humanity. what, therefore, is the group will in any ashram or master's group? is it present in any form vital enough to condition the group relations and to unite its members into a band of brothers moving forward into the light? is the spiritual will of the individual personalities of such strength that it negates the personality relation and leads to spiritual r

focussed directly upon the personality, via the antahkarana and not specifically through the soul, it produces a blazing fire which burns up all hindrances in a steady, sequential process. wording it otherwise, when the will aspect streams from the monad and focusses through the personal will (as the mind can grasp and realise it) it destroys as by fire all elements of self-will. as the energy of shamballa streams out and makes a direct contact with humanity (omitting the transmission via the hierarchy, which has hitherto been customary, you have what has been seen in the world today, a destructive conflagration or a world burning ground. when the antahkarana of a group is rightly constructed, then the individualised group-will will disappear in the full consciousness of the monadic purpos

f the higher initiations lies in the trained use of the higher will. it does not lie in purification or in self-discipline or in any of the expedients which have acted in the past as interceptors of the truth. this whole problem of the shamballic will is in process of revelation, and will eventually alter the entire approach of the disciple in the new age to initiation. the theme of "the way into shamballa" requires reflective study and esoteric understanding. in this concept of the new and future section (if i may so call it) of the way or path with which the modern disciple is faced lies the secret of the coming revelation and of the spiritual dispensation which will emerge as humanity constructs the new world civilisation and begins to formulate the new culture. the burning, purifying

, as i have earlier told you, i write for those disciples and initiates who are now coming into incarnation and who will be in the full flower of their consciousness and service at the latter end of this century. but the effort you make to understand will have its effect, even if the brain registers it not. in the last analysis, these rules or formulas of approach are primarily concerned with the shamballa or life aspect. they are the only formulas or embodied techniques at present extant which have in them the quality which will enable the aspirant to understand and eventually express the significance of the words of christ "life more abundantly" these words relate to contact with shamballa; the result will be the expression of the will aspect. the whole process of invocation and evocatio

re, your life is fundamentally invocative, then there will come the evocation of the will. it is only truly invocative when personality and soul are fused and functioning as a consciously blended and focussed unit. the next point which i seek to make is that these formulas of approach or rules deal with the unfoldment of group consciousness, because it is only in group formation that, as yet, the shamballa force of the will can be tapped. they are useless to the individual under the new initiatory dispensation. only the group, under the proposed new mode of working and of group- 23- a treatise on the seven rays- volume v: the rays and the initiations copyright 1998 lucis trust initiation, is capable of invoking shamballa. that is why hitler, the exponent of the reversed reaction to shambal
