CANCER full Moon
I am going to begin this transmission with some more theoretical (to you) information and then proceed eventually down to the level of your practical group work on my behalf.
Cancer as you know, is related to the Seventh Ray and the Fifth liberating Hierarchy which is in the process of taking the Eighth Initiation.
The Christ himself is in preparation for the Eighth Initiation, which is in a peculiar sense his initiation just as the Fourth Initiation is the one most relevant to the human Hierarchy. You may note that elsewhere I have indicated that the Christ is about to take (or is in the process of taking, or has completed) the Seventh Initiation of Resurrection. Now I am telling you that he is in preparation for the Eighth. This mystery is approached by understanding initiation as a process and not fixating on it as an event. Just as a disciple may be taking the Second Initiation but may also be preparing simultaneously for the Third, so it is on higher levels. The planetary event we call the Reappearance of the Christ will both mark the completion of the Seventh Initiation and also reveal the Christ’s readiness for the Eighth.
From the human perspective the Reappearance has relevance to the life in the three worlds and the externalisation of divinity. To all initiates above the Fourth Degree however, it is the effects of the Christ’s work upon the highest three planes of the cosmic physical—and not the lowest—that concern them. It is the Christ’s mastery of the monadic plane that allows for his presence to be felt upon the astral, and his growing mastery of the four lowest subplanes of the logoic plane is having a corresponding influence upon the four ethers of the physical plane. His eventual mastery of the highest three subplanes of the logoic plane will result in the sacredising of the lower three subplanes of the physical—in other words what we exoterically call ‘matter’. The same process can be predicated for the Cosmic Christ on the higher cosmic planes, and it will be noted that humans focused in the three worlds form part of the ‘matter’ of this cosmic system.
At the Eighth Initiation the nature and purpose of duality is revealed, but this is a much higher duality than we are able to comprehend in consciousness. The reflection of this higher duality enables the bringing together of the duality of the form aspect on the cosmic physical plane. What we call ‘spirit’ and ‘matter’ are really twin aspects of substance. The function of the Fourth or human Hierarchy is to operate as the ‘Son’ or consciousness aspect between these two parents and bring them together, resulting in at-one-ment upon the physical plane. This at-one-ment proceeds in two directions from the buddhic plane uniting atma with manas, monadic energy with astral and eventually logoic energy with physical/etheric. When the ‘highest of the high’ (top three subplanes of the logoic) and the ‘densest of the dense’ (lowest three subplanes of the physical) are brought together then the work of sacredisation through solarisation is complete.
Normally in this second system an initiate chooses his Path out onto the cosmic astral plane at the Sixth Degree and ‘transitions’ from the monadic plane. The mastery of the logoic plane is largely left to the third system where it will become the plane of transition from the cosmic physical. Those who choose the Path of Earth Service however, voluntarily undergo the higher initiations while remaining within the ring-pass-not of the planet. They are nurturing the seed of Will which will flower in the next system, and at the same time forming part of the Shamballic governance of the current system.
The Eighth Initiation in this system and upon this planet is hard indeed, although not in the same sense of suffering as the soul consciousness at the Fourth Degree or the emotional body at the Second. It is a monadic ‘suffering’—if such a word can be used to describe the processes of life that occur on the higher planes. The monadic initiate is stretched upon the planetary sutratma just as the Fourth Degree initiate is stretched upon the planetary antahkarana. The energy of Life which is the essence of the monad is called to the heights via the planetary and solar causal bodies, at the same time as it is descending to the depths of the cosmic physical plane. There are bodhisattvas of Life operating upon the higher logoic planes, just as there are bodhisattvas of Love upon the triadal planes. Think this through and some light may come upon the significance of the Cancer Hierarchy as it ‘veils the Christ’.
Let us bring this thought down to the level of the group’s current work. Just as with the Christ on his high level, or the Fourth Degree initiate on his, the work of the disciple or group approaching the Third Degree is to ‘at-one’ the highest and lowest energies of the planes within which we are able to work. These are the five lowest planes of the cosmic physical plane. Occasionally there is the contact with energies of the monadic plane, which becomes more stable after the Third Degree, however this contact is achieved as a result of the above mentioned at-one-ment.
The disciple approaching the Third Degree is polarised within his causal body and is working to fuse the triadal planes with those of the personality. Higher and lower mind are operating as a unified system, buddhi is flowing through the astral body and frequently the energy of atma is making itself felt via the etheric fires. It is the higher three subplanes of the atmic plane which act as synthesising agents for the whole lower five planes. The energy from these must be brought all the way into the etheric, where they result in the liberation of energy in response from the lowest three planes. It is not the Life energy of the lowest planes which is released at this stage of the at-one-ment process, but the ‘Love’ or consciousness aspect. Hence you will see why there is a link between Light Supernal emanating from the higher atmic field and money rising from the physical plane. These are the two poles of the expression of the Love or consciousness aspect. Light Supernal is the essence of light or consciousness, and money is the precipitation or concrete expression of consciousness. The simultaneous outflow of these two polar energies within the five worlds results in ‘peace’ and the transition of polarisation from the higher mental to the buddhic plane.
In a peculiar way it is the Cancer influence that results in both the nourishment that the form provides as well as the retardation of the development of consciousness because of the dependence upon this nourishment. Think of the Buddha who delayed his departure from Earth out of compassion for humanity. His periodic return provides a spiritual nourishment into the seventh or cosmic physical plane, which allows humanity in some ways to grow at a faster rate. At the same time it could be said that without his presence humanity would have to develop more of the qualities he brings within themselves—and this could be said to have a retarding effect.
This duality should be borne in mind whenever one provides resources of any kind. Is the flow of money and higher energies going to assist in the liberation into more usefulness of the recipient groups, or is it going to foster dependence and thus deaden the creativity-producing Law of Economy? The answer to this difficult conundrum lies with the Christ principle, which is why it is the Christ who passes the energy that the Buddha transmits through Hierarchy at the time of the Wesak full Moon. It is the living heart of any system that is able to respond to need appropriately in the moment based on concern for the whole, rather than via an intellectual process or in response to an urgency of demand. It is the heart which monitors the blood supply around the body, feeding more to the brain at times of high mental activity and more to the feet when they are running.
In the early stages of development it is the emotional body which forms the ‘heart’ of the system. For the disciple it is the causal body. For the initiate it is the ashram and for the Christ it is the monadic plane. Humanity is in a stage of transference from the emotional or desire heart to the causal heart, and thus—slowly—the energy of money is coming under ‘soul control’. When this happens in the life of the individual, financial flows into and out of the system become regulated by the needs of the soul and not of the personality. There are times when the evolution of the soul/personality system in the five worlds is best served by a financial desert and other times when the reverse is true.
If you examine carefully your own processes—both individual and group—you will be aware of lessons in this regard over the last year. When has the absence of money resulted in an increased soul-inspired creativity and when has it resulted in stagnation? When has the presence of money been beneficial and when has it created dependence?
How have the resources that have been available been allocated? Do they serve the soul or the personality or both? —remembering that your answers to these questions may well vary depending upon the polarisation of the identity considering them.
As the financial resources in the world come more and more under soul control and therefore under the jurisdiction of the Christ, we are seeing a marked shift in financial flows from those who own the physical resources (oil, land, forests etc) to those who own the ideas (media, creativity, technology). The direction of this flow will naturally continue until the essence and source of ideas—the soul—is recognised and the Great Illusion is broken on a planetary level.
As a group you have been asked to decentralise yourselves further and to consider the NGWS as the centre of which you both form a part and which you are attempting to serve. You have been asked to form a channel of contribution towards other initiatives rather than focusing upon your own initiatives as recipients of the flow of energy from others. This will not result in others becoming part of your work, but the reverse. You will be drawn to cooperate with others to assist in their objectives. The personality of the group is thus somewhat humbled by this process, while the soul energy that the group has been able to generate is liberated into a greater field of service. The effect of this reorientation in consciousness will have surprising secondary effects upon your own projects, but these will follow according to law.
The NGWS is a unified spiritual entity. Attempt to identify more closely with this entity and from that point of synthesis look out upon the myriad personality expressions of that synthesis as they reveal themselves through group initiatives around the planet. Then seek to lend your aid, the spiritual strength you have developed and your financial resources to these outer expressions.
I have said that the next phase of my instructions will be to a ‘group of groups’, and naturally it would have occurred to you that
Your unity as a group is an inner unity that will allow a greater differentiation. As individuals you will go where you are called in response to tension within the planetary ‘heart’. You will in effect be spiritual ‘blood’ that will aid and nourish the outer forms but will circulate and return again and again to the heart for renewal and your next mission. As a result you will not form a part of any outer organisation except temporarily, and this will create a tension that will form the seed of your next evolutionary initiation.
