“What, in
the last analysis, is this Hierarchy? It is a great salvaging corps of
dedicated, liberated Units of Life, working in group formation with all forms
and lives in all kingdoms and with all souls particularly. As the Hierarchy so
works, its emphasis is solely on the consciousness aspects of all forms:
its present agency of salvage and service is the mind… (p.526)
(p.472)
The Hierarchy itself is the result of human activity and aspiration; it has
been created by humanity. Its members are human beings who have lived,
suffered, achieved, failed, attained success endured death and passed through
the experience of resurrection. They are the same in nature as are those who struggle
today with the processes of disintegration but who – nevertheless – have in
them the seed of resurrection. All states of consciousness are known to Them;
They have mastered them as men, thus guaranteeing to humanity the same ultimate
achievement. We are apt to look upon members of the Hierarchy as different
radically from humanity, forgetting that the Hierarchy is a community of
successful men, Who earlier submitted Themselves to the purificatory fires of
daily living, working out their own salvation as men and women of affairs, as
business men, as husbands and wives, farmers and rulers, and that they know
life, therefore, in all its phases and gradation”.
……(p.529)
…we arrive at the door which symbolically stands wide open, so that accepted
disciples are taking initiation, pledged disciples are being
accepted, and accepting disciples are taking their pledges.
Thus a
great new movement is proceeding and a tremendously increased interplay and
interaction is taking place. This will go on until 2025.During the years
intervening between now and then very great changes will be taking place, and
at the Great General Assembly of the Hierarchy – held as usual every century –
in 2025 the date will probably be set for the first stage of the
externalization of Hierarchy. The present cycle (from now until that date) is
called technically “ “The Stage of the Forerunner”. It is preparatory in
nature, testing in its methods and intended to be revelatory in its techniques
and results.”
As a
student, this Aquarian probe, I have been pondering on the process of consciousness,
which is Hierarchical, and the power of thought and words.
p.154
D.K. gives this example “We know, O Lord of Life and Love,
about the need;
Touch our hearts anew
with love,
That we too may love and give.”
It is the
thought of the free circulation of energy between the three world centers
(Shamballah, Hierarchy, and Humanity)which motivates this mantric sentence. A
study of this will show you the how the implication and significance of
apparently simple words may be far deeper and far more-wide-reaching in effect
than you have been able to conceive.”
D.K here
refers to the Great Invocation and the use of the power of imagination and
thought creating contact between Sacrifice and Love.
“Suffering
is the most effective and most rapid way of evoking world understanding and of
burning away the barriers which human beings have set up to the expression of
the Will-to-Good. One of the most beneficent results of the inflow of the
Shamballa force through the focused demand of aspirants and world disciples
will be the intelligent recognition of the uses of pain and suffering. It is
this Truth – distorted and selfishly misapplied and interpreted – which has led
certain types of people and certain types of governing bodies among the nations
to take the position that the greater the suffering inflicted (as for instance
in war time) and the greater the process of terrorism, the quicker the end
which is desirable and right; they hold often that the more dire the effects of
planned conditions, the more rapidly will the correct consummation be achieved.
It is not the duty or right of man to turn first ray force to selfish ends or
material objectives; responsibility cannot be veiled behind specious and
distorted half-truths and evil cannot be done in order that good may come. What
is applied by the Lord of the World in Shamballa under the motive of love,
wisdom and selflessness with a sure touch and a judgement as to times and
seasons cannot be so used by those motivated by personality objectives, either
on an individual or a personality scale (for nations as well as individuals
have personalities). Ponder on this and seek enlightenment from the soul.”
P.155
The
governing role of Jupiter,( “the throne of Brahma”) transmitter of divine
energies from Virgo (“the cosmic mother” EA p.255) and Aquarius* has already
been acknowledged in this probe – Virgo, the nourisher of the Christ-child, and
Aquarius, the group-conscious sign.
p.136 EA*the sign Aquarius is a dual sign and
signifies two vibrations. …..substance and
the anima mundi or imprisoned soul begin to work in mutual tolerance,
and in higher Aquarian individual, soul and spirit are expressing themselves in
substance.”….. the Aquarian recognizes the bond which holds all together
subjectively and in truth….
D.K.
acknowledges the role of the Nirmanakayas, whose energy is responsive to these
extra-planetary forces, and advises the receptive agent, the student, who can
“focus your-self in as high a consciousness as you are capable of achieving.
Then you aim at complete self-forgetfulness and when that has been gained you
direct your attention to the dual activity of the true disciple to which I
earlier referred. i.e. the task of emphasizing
a significant understanding of
the implications of the words said and of the results to be achieved. There
comes next the sending forth of the words with their hidden potency and this
must be done by you as a soul, using the mind and brain as agents.”
D.K. uses
the terms
Conscious
Activity : right
use of interlude between Inhalation and Exhalation
Right
Expression:
period of Exhalation. This is the sending forth of the forces contacted by an
act of will in order that they mad produce desired ends.
Previous
papers have acknowledged the Spirit of Peace/ an Avatar or messenger of peace,
who may come as the result of “a potent vibration and note” as a result of
joint appeal by Hierarchy of Light and Humanity. It will “vitalize the
responsiveness of humanity, via the influence of Hierarchy, to the will of God
which has for basic intent the bringing of peace on earth. What is peace? It is essentially the establishment of right human
relations, of synthetic rapport with its resultant cooperation, of correct
interplay between the three planetary centers and an illumined, loving
understanding of the will of God as it affects humanity and works out divine
intent.”
“A
mobilizing of the forces of Light is going on upon the inner side of life.
These forces stand ready but the word of action must come from the Christ, and
he will give that word when the people give it to Him. We are the conditioners
of our own destiny. Neither the Christ nor the Hierarchy may, at this stage in
human evolution, take any step vitally affecting humanity unless released into
this activity by humanity itself.”
..P.353
“It is the will-to-victory that is needed at this time; it is the
will-to-invoke which is needed; it is the will-to-focus and through the focus
aid in the great act which the Christ is at this time preparing himself: it is
the will to goodness, to self-control and to the evocation of right action for
which the Hierarchy asks today. If humanity does its part, it will find that
Hierarchy more than ready to respond and do its share in bringing about world
release from the Forces of Evil.”
On p.392
D.K refers to 7. Certain great Energies of extra-planetary significance Who
stand ready to intervene should the spiritual invocation or the distress of
humanity reach the pitch of evocation”
“Massed intent” is what is required from mankind to evoke an
extra-planetary response. He lists
good-willing people, visionaries, aspirants, Disciples, Members of the
Spiritual Hierarchy, whether in or out of incarnation, Custodians of the Will,
and Extra-planetary Energies who are ready to assist, as being potential
participants.
p.467 “ I call you, therefore, everyone, to a great service of
demand and of invocation on behalf of humanity – a demand for the inflow of
light upon the decisions of men everywhere. I would ask you to request and
expect the needed enlightenment for those who have to make decision on behalf
of men everywhere. Your individual enlightenment has nothing to do with this
demand. It is a selfless
motive which is required and which must lie behind your
individual and group demand. You are demanding enlightenment and illumined
perception for those who have to guide the destiny of races, nations, and world
groups.”
In summary:
In pondering on the nature of Hierarchy, on the forces available,
the timing, and the nature of this group in the world, I am aware of the
potential available for reaching a
“pitch of
evocation” which precipitates more/new action in the world scene.
I have
been aware of the intensification of energy in meditation, and the process of
personality integration.
I am
pondering the “ meaning and significance” of the word GOVERNANCE
