Topic of Analysis - from Esoteric Astrology, the Three Crosses chapter., p563.

"It should be noted that there are seven forms of light, related to the substance of the seven planes. These are stimulated and enhanced by the twelve forms of light of the twelve Creative Hierarchies, related each of them to one or other of the twelve signs of the zodiac. A paralleling statement would be that the light of the seven centres in man (when enhanced by the light of the seven planetary centres) and the five kingdoms in nature (7+5=12), plus the twelve lights of the zodiac will produce a consummation of "light" effectiveness which will make possible the expression of the whole. This, through the medium of humanity. This is a basic statement which means little to you as yet but which will-in the next century-form a seed thought or "key sound" for the next revelation of the Ageless Wisdom."

Synthesis, blending, fusion

The point the Tibetan was making leading up to our topic of study, was how the synthesis, blending, fusion and integration of various energies, reveals something that is more magnificent than its parts. Talking about the Mutable Cross ...

"The synthesis of evolution, its problem and its goal all appear in a united, whole presentation when the influences are viewed as follows: [Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces]. This culminating radiance is the result of the focus of life, intention, and energy into a "radiant point of power." 562.

"The theme of all three Crosses is fusion and integration. The fusion of the [...Monad, ego and personality] - so that there is an appearance of the blended energies." 563.

And in our topic, this emphasis continues.

".. will produce a consummation of "light" effectiveness which will make possible the expression of the whole." 563

Emergence of the 5th Kingdom

To clarify what he was referring to, I focused on the following five phrases:

1. "the five kingdoms in nature"

2. "will produce a consummation of "light" effectiveness"

3. "which will make possible the expression of the whole"

4. "This, through the medium of humanity"

5. "in the next century"

Focusing first on point 2. Something is going to be birthed. Its nature is "light." It will be powerful.

Then on point 3, "through the medium of humanity." What do we know about that which is seeking to express through the human kingdom?

The answer can be found in the following passages from Esoteric Psychology II, where DK was describing how the human kingdom was birthed from the animal kingdom, under the stimulation of certain energies.

"[There...] was a reaction throughout the entire animal kingdom to the inpouring of the three major types of energy, which expressed themselves through the usual seven types and thus called forth response from those forms of life which were energised through the medium of the three major centres-heart, head and throat-of the Being who is the informing life. A tremendous surging upward and a going-forth in response ensued, which enabled a new kingdom [the human] to emerge."

"This same thing it is that is again happening today in the world. There is a pouring in of spiritual energy, vitalising, transforming ... and a new and higher kingdom [5th] can appear upon the earth." 213.

It is the 5th Kingdom of God - the spiritual Hierarchy of Masters, led by the Christ, which is seeking expression through the prepared and purified vehicles of the advanced members of the human family. To further elaborate, the following passages have been selected from DINA 1. And note the use of the words - merging, fusion, blending.

"Growing out of the integration of this new group [NGWS], there is being formed in the world that "bridge of souls and servers" which will make possible the merging of the inner subjective Hierarchy of souls and the outer world of humanity. This will constitute an actual fusion or blending and will mark the initiation of the human family through the achievement of its foremost pioneering members. This is the true "marriage in the Heavens " of which mystical Christianity speaks and the result of this fusion will be the manifestation of the fifth kingdom in nature, the kingdom of God. ... This will usher in the New Age wherein five kingdoms in nature will be recognised as existing side by side upon earth." 32.

Note also the mention of the fifth kingdom, tying in point 1 - "and the five kingdoms in nature"

And the timing is right. This emergence is predicted in this century. "This same thing it is that is again happening today in the world." "This is a basic statement which means little to you as yet but which will-in the next century-form a seed thought or "key sound" for the next revelation of the Ageless Wisdom."

The formula: 7 + 12 + 12 = 7 + 12 + 12

Since I am hypothesising that our topic is about the emergence of the 5th Kingdom, then the various figures mentioned in relation to man, I believe are symbolic of the various initiations which have to be taken before a man is eligible to enter into God's 5th Kingdom. The figures could be an equation which contain the entire experiences which govern the man as he journeys the Path of Return. There are many correspondences which can be found. The following are a few intuited ideas.

7 seven forms of light (related to the substance of the seven planes.)

12 twelve forms of light (of the twelve Creative Hierarchies)

12 related to the twelve signs of the zodiac.

A paralleling statement

7 light of the seven centres in man

12 enhanced by the light of the seven planetary centres and the five kingdoms in nature (7+5=12),

12 plus the twelve lights of the zodiac

The first part of the equation relates to the macrocosm - the "body" of the solar Logos, through which man is evolving, and which provide the tests enabling him to take initiation. 7 + 12 + 12 = 31.

If we add 1 - the number of the One Whose essence permeates the system, we have 32 = 5. A most special number for man relating as it does to the 5th principle, manas - the key which enables man to eventually evolve into the 5th Kingdom. In Cosmic Fire, there is mention of the 5th Mahamanvantara or [this?] solar system, where the solar Logos achieves his fifth major initiation.

The second half of the equation to the microcosm - man. 7 + 12 + 12 = 31 / 4

Four, the number of matter, man crucified in time and space.

The whole equation - 7 + 12 + 12 [+] 7 + 12 + 12 = 62 = 8.

Eight is the number of the Christ. When man has successfully navigated the planes of the solar system, he truly is the Christed One, the Son of God.

The esoteric work to be done by man in relation to his centres, so the Christ can truly birth in his nature can be found In the following passages from White Magic.

The emphasis laid upon the dominance of the Christ principle by Christianity has laid a sure foundation for the work to be done. This truth is curiously substantiated in a study of the number "eight" in connection with the centres which, we are told, is the number of the Christ. There are eight centres if the spleen is counted, all of them are multiples of eight with the exception of the centre at the base of the spine which has four petals, one half of eight. In our day and in the Anglo Saxon mode of writing, the number eight is the basic symbol of all the centres, for the petals are really in form like a number of superimposed eights. The word petal is purely pictorial and a centre is formed on this pattern. First, a circle, O; then two circles, touching each other and making therefore an 8. Then, as the petals increase in number, it is simply a growth of these double circles, superimposed at differing angles one upon another until we arrive at the thousand-petalled lotus in the head.

These centres are, in the last analysis, twofold in function. They demonstrate the form building aspect of divinity and through their activity bring the outer form into manifestation; then towards the end of the evolutionary cycle-both in the macrocosm and the microcosm-they bring into expression the soul force and life and produce the incarnation of a fully revealed son of God, with all the powers and knowledge which divinity contains. 596-7.

In conclusion:

Perhaps the high goal in all of this - from the Logos' perspective, is summarised in the following passages from Esoteric psychology 2 - Rules for Inducing Soul Control, "The Aim of These Rules"

1. The first and primary aim is to establish, through the medium of humanity, an outpost of the Consciousness of God in the solar system.

2. To found upon earth a powerhouse of such potency and a focal point of such energy that humanity-as a whole-can be a factor in the solar system, bringing about changes and events of a unique nature in the planetary life and lives and inducing an interstellar activity.

3. To develop a station of light, through the medium of the fourth kingdom in nature, which will serve not only the planet, and not only our particular solar system, but the seven systems of which ours is one. This question of light, bound up as it is with the colours of the seven rays, is as yet an embryo science, and it would be useless for us to enlarge upon it here.

4. To set up a magnetic centre in the universe, in which the human kingdom and the kingdom of souls will, united or at-oned, be the point of most intense power, and which will serve the developed Lives within the radius of the radiance of the One About Whom Naught May Be Said.
