We are told that there is a fourth quality of Deity that will be revealed
which lies behind those of will, love and activity.

I have speculated on this quality as 'the peace which passeth
understanding' - originating from the cosmic buddhic plane
and residing in the heart of every atom


To follow these analogies it is important to think of the 'fourth' as a generic term which refers to that energy which works through the
synthetic functioning of any threefold system.

For example the soul is a 'fourth' in that it works through the three
personality vehicles. The monad is a 'fourth' as it works through the triad.
And so on.

Behind Will and synthesis and fixed determination lies the principle of 'freedom'. Sanat Kumara became the Great Sacrifice out of his free choice,thus confining himself to the three lower cosmic planes and to service upon Earth. Of course this implies that He did not 'have to choose' such a path and that He was in fact 'free' of the compulsion to incarnate in the three worlds under the Sirian Law of Karma.  That it was inherent in His nature to do so does not detract from the freedom of His choice.
This is why we are told that 'sacrifice' should be seen as a 'taking over' rather than a 'giving up'. We 'give up' when we are identified in the three worlds in order to gain a 'release'. We 'take over' when we are outside the three worlds but freely choosing to limit ourselves within them.
In the first case we are trying to obtain 'liberation'. In the second we are
demonstrating our 'freedom'.

This is a pivotal point for me in the exploration of the principle of
freedom. How can we ever become 'free' unless we already are 'free'? Freedom
must be innate within the human spirit and therefore only needs to be
uncovered or 'revealed' rather than gained.
When we attain to the state of monad we must discover that the purpose of
our monadic existence was 'freely' taken. Therefore, while our lesser
consciousness, as soul or personality is limited to functioning within the
seven, or five or three worlds, OUR ESSENTIAL NATURE, - OUR MONADIC ESSENCE
must experience no such limitation. How, for example could we ever walk one
of the Cosmic Paths unless we had already walked it in the other direction?
We don't 'become free' but merely return in identity to that part of
ourselves which has never incarnated, never been limited , never been
seperated from the One Life.

As the monad, we have sentenced ourselves just as SK has done. It is only
the rebellion of our lesser self to this decision that our greater self has
made that
keeps our consciousness limited. When we remember that we have chosen then
we are released in order to choose again.

Under this Law of Sacrifice, Sanat Kumara (to express the idea in occult
terms) "must turn His back upon the Central Spiritual Sun, and with the
light of His Countenance irradiate the path of the prisoners of the planet."
He sentences Himself to stay for as long as may be needed, "acting as the
Sun and light of the planet until the Day be with us and the night of
pralaya descends upon His finished task." Thus and only thus can the light
of the Central Spiritual Sun begin to penetrate the dark places of the
Earth; when this happens all "shadows disappear"—an occult reference to the
all-embracing radiance of the Monad as it absorbs both its reflection, the
soul, and its shadow, the personality. DINA II 287

SK 'turns his back' upon the Central Spiritual Sun in order to allow the
light of this Sun to reach earth. The Central Spiritual Sun can refer to the
monad of the Solar Logos and the 'light' of the CSS is the cosmic 'light
supernal' from the cosmic atmic plane.
We are told that, at the third degree the initiate proclaims, as Venus in
Capricorn, "Lost am I in light supernal, and on that Light I turn my back".
We also know that light supernal relates to the atmic plane  ( Dina 2 370 ).
At the third degree, atma pours through the sacrifice petals and from then
to the etheric base centre via the crown. Kundalini is aroused and the
fusion of triad and personality takes place allowing the monad to utilise
its fused instrument.

On cosmic levels, the Solar Logos is undergoing the third cosmic intitiation
and thus trying to ground on the etheric physical plane, light supernal from
the cosmic atmic plane.

We know that Sanat Kumara is a direct disciple of the Solar Logos. Is it not
possible that He is therefore the representative on Solar Will ( atma ) upon
the physical/etheric plane?
Further, if Earth served as the base chakra within the Solar sphere then
would not the coming of SK and the founding of the Hierarchy not represent
the beginning of the awakening of kundalini in the Solar system. Initiation
would therefore be the release of human monads from their long self imposed
imprisonment back to their source in the sun.

A question arises: If SK is a direct disciple of the Solar Logos and yet is
also overshadowed by the Planetary Logos then how are we to understand His
functioning.
Perhaps the analogy is similar to that entity ensouling the crown chakra of
a human being - this centre can be used for transmitting the will of the
individual soul or of the ashram or of a Heavenly man.

The Monad is the source of light, not only to the human family, but it is
the receiver of light from the threefold Sun; it is the lens through which
the light of the solar Logos can flow to the planetary Logos, preserving and
holding steady in that light the vision, the purpose, the will and the
creative intention of the planetary Logos.
Dina 2 400

In a sense then, the monad, like SK is dual, having a relationship both to
the Planetary Logos and to the Solar Logos. We know that the centres of a
Heavenly Man are made up of human and deva monads. Perhaps the human monad
is planetary and the deva monad, solar. Their fusion unifies planetary and
solar will allowing the fusion of the the Solar triad and the Solar
personality.
This may be a higher correspondence to the way buddhi and manas , mercury
and venus are related to the two eyes in man. Their united functioning
produces the third eye which can be used as an agent of vision and light for
both the personality and the soul. The monad is equivalent to the third eye
for the Planetary Logos. When the human and deva 'wills' are functioning in
unison this 'eye' can be used by both the Planetary or the Solar logos
depending upon the degree of soul infusion.

Thus, each of us as a monad is a cell in one of the Heavenly men and yet we
are also, similtaneously a cell in the Solar Logos. When we realise ( or
remember ) our higher solar identity en mass then the planet becomes
'solarised' or sacred.

We know that the purpose of our Planetary Logos is to anchor a 'germ of
Solar Will'. When referring to this DK uses Sanat Kumara and the Planetary
Logos in the same sentence.

a planetary Logos has likewise—under the Law of Synthesis—to carry forward a
specific project in line with the will of the Solar Logos.  This our
planetary Logos, Sanat Kumara, is in process of doing, providing a definite
culture wherein the germ of the solar will can be fostered in one of its
aspects  R & I 657

In terms of practical application we might ask - How can we develop our
capacity to participate in this Solar process? How can we help cultivate the
'culture of freedom' on this planet?

First, humanity must set up a direct reflexive response to the energy of
Shamballa. We know that it is this portion of the triangle ( R & I 160 )
which needs to be operating in order for the fourth quality of deity to be
revealed. We must learn to understand and freely cooperate with the Will of
the Planetary Logos. Doing this requires that we 'remember' the choice that
we already made.
There is no real freedom obtained by limiting our identity and then having
that limited identity rebel against the choices of our greater Self. This
way leads to unconscious evolution.
We might speculate upon a more positive rebellion however that utilises the
very characteristic of monads that make up the earth scheme.
Once there has been alignment with the planetary Will, this Will might be
resisted in the direction of a greater Will, the Solar Will.
The human unit would now be resisting the Will of it's planetary lord in
favour of the solar lord. This would not need to be a constant resistance
but only an occasional one as predominantly these Wills are aligned. The
planetary Logos is taking the second cosmic initiation however as so is not
entirely free from the control of His desire body.
Thus there might be times when the higher way for the human monad would be
to resist the flow of energy activating it from the cosmic astral plane and
to obey instead the energy of cosmic buddhi reaching it  through the love
petals of the Solar Egoic lotus.
In a way this is both a traiterous and yet liberating thought. If our
planetary evolution was slowed down through 'willfulness and rebellion'
could it not be speeded up in the same way? Can monadic karma too be
resisted?

This then leads to resistance to the apparent karmic necessity and this
brings about liberation. Only through resistance to evil (and in this world
period and in this kali-yuga, as the Eastern teachers call it, it is an
essential basic attitude) can karma be brought to an end. EA 444

Perhaps this type of resistance is not the shrinking from taking the cup of
karma, but rather, asking for a bigger helping.
Perhaps it is also this type of rebellion that lead Sanat Kumara into taking
responsibility for a non sacred planet in order to prove His capacity
to bring redemptive solar LIFE.

Perhaps the best thing to do with the rebels in our society then, would be
to offer them the possibility of taking on dangerous missions on behalf of
the collective. Perhaps they are just bored and rebel while they are waiting
for a worthwhile challenge to take up. Perhaps this is earth in the solar
system.
Perhaps this is kundalini power , coiled up like a sleeping serpent awaiting
the lightning bolt of Uranus to awaken it.
