Shamballa, The Reservoir of Will, & Group Impression
Morya works with ‘energy’ more than ‘consciousness’ and our ashrams cooperate in the following particular ways. One of my major educational intentions is to provide intelligent information about Shamballa and the energies of Will. This serves to provide a ‘channel of conscious inflow’ and can produce the beginning of an intelligent and invocative response to Shamballa, by humanity. The inflow of Will into my ashram as a result provides the subsidiary and necessary energetic stimulation and vivification of Second Ray workers. The outer ‘failure’ of the groups of nine were due to the inabilities of those within these groups to effectively balance the First and Second Rays. The energy of Will was too new to be handled lovingly. At the core, it was the reluctance of the groups as a whole to freely choose to invoke and use the Will that resulted in the failure. This would have a required a greater degree of sacrifice. It is an occult truth that education results in a greater capacity to choose, with fewer eventual options, until the razor edge path demands everything. The further along the greater the consequences of a slight error in judgement or motive. We cannot put the power of Will into the hands of humanity without simultaneously providing them with a greater capacity for its misuse either through ignorance or materialistic intent. This history bears out.
Consequently your choice to consciously align with the Will is regarded as a promising sign and one that carries with it its attendant challenges. It may be useful to you to remind you of the lessons that have already been learned in this regard.
This may well be your most important lesson as a group and it is more subtle than you first may think. The energy of Will increases the power of the group mind. As the group builds in power, its collective thought will be capable of producing tangible results in the outer world. Restraint and monitoring of thought will thus be an essential discipline. Do not pass lightly over this one—already the capacity to err here is present. Impose the Will upon yourselves as a group, not on others.
The most potent work you can do for the worldwide group at this time is to strengthen you subjective work and focus. There is, throughout my ashram, and as a result of the close cooperation of the Master Morya, an ‘urge to synthesis’.
As a group you could cooperate powerfully with this trend through subjective empowerment. As you build a reservoir of Will in the group soul, this can be made available to others upon their request. The way to work would be to identify and work consciously with those who are also a part of my ashram throughout the world. But do this subjectively—hold them in your meditations and use the Second Ray to help in the group cohesion and recognition of themselves as an entity. Withhold, at this time, the urge to initiate outer contacts and projects that are intended to create synthesis. Maintain the ones you have already created and work subjectively building the reservoir of Will. As this subjective work bears fruit then those who recognise and need the Will energy will be drawn in to contact with your group, subjectively and in some cases objectively. The First Ray is the most magnetic of all the rays. Work occultly, subjectively and in occult silence my brothers, and you will see the synthesis appear. It is not for you to try to create it. This is the most important message I can give you at this time.
Humanity, Hierarchy and Shamballa form a trinity on the cosmic physical plane. Through this trinity, the energy of higher planes is able to express through the cosmic physical. In the human situation there are diverse forces at work within the etheric and physical body that drive it into activity. There are the forces inherent in matter itself, then, that when some degree of integration occurs between the etheric and physical body, the physical body becomes the instrument that expresses the forces moving through the etheric body.
This is the process being carried on in the whole cosmic physical plane as humanity and Hierarchy come into closer relationship.
Once the etheric and the physical body become integrated and can function as a unit, then this unit is used to serve the consciousness operating on the higher planes. Initially this is the desire or astral body, and then the mental, and eventually the triadic and monadic energies are able to direct the activity on the physical plane. A process of energetic substitution takes place so that eventually the four ethers in the human etheric body are under the direct control of the four cosmic ethers.
The same process occurs upon cosmic levels. Initially the four cosmic ethers are the recipients of energy flowing from the cosmic astral plane, then the mental and so on. Eventually, as solar evolution progresses, the buddhic plane will come under the direct control of the cosmic buddhic plane, the atmic under the control of the comic atmic, and so on. The four ‘universal ethers’ will control the four cosmic ethers which will control the four ethers on our physical plane of the cosmic physical. Eventually then, man is destined to be an instrument of the Will of the Cosmic Logos of which our Solar Logos is a component part, of which our Planetary Logos is a component part, and of which we are a component part. A holographic cosmic ecology.
The entering into the etheric body of the cosmic energies is controlled for good reason. Just as in the human situation the thoughtforms of the average man are not permitted to precipitate into manifestation because of the chaos and ugliness which would subsequently result, so on cosmic levels the thoughtforms and the desires of a Planetary Logos do not manifest easily until there is a degree of personality integration and alignment with soul. This bears thinking about.
If the desires originating upon the cosmic astral plane were allowed full expression upon the cosmic physical plane before this integration had been achieved one can imagine the results. We must begin to see the Being whose body of manifestation this planet is, as a composite being, just as a human being is a composite being. He is currently polarised in his cosmic astral body, developing in this system the quality of Love expressed through cosmic desire.
A human being is wont to use his physical nature as an instrument for the carrying out of his lower desires before (and periodically after) some degree of soul infusion has taken place. A non-sacred planet is in the same position. Behind the battle between the forces of Light and the so-called Dark brotherhood lie the events occurring upon the cosmic astral plane. The materialistic forces are simply those energies and entities upon the cosmic physical plane that are under the control of forces originating on the lower four subplanes of the cosmic astral plane, which are in their turn controlled by entities on the lower four subplanes of the cosmic mental plane.
The White brotherhood on the other hand are working with energies pouring in from the three higher subplanes of the cosmic astral and cosmic mental planes.
They are ‘working for’ the planetary soul rather than the planetary personality.
The planetary personality and soul come into greater alignment as the planet enters more fully into the discipleship required to take the Second cosmic Initiation—in particular the mastery of the astral body. This will eventually result in the intelligent cooperation between the so-called White and Dark brotherhoods as the ‘solarisation’ of the personality occurs. This will result in the lower four subplanes of each plane being the vehicles for the carrying out of the Will of those entities upon the higher three. Paradoxical as it might seem, the destiny of the Black Lodge is to effectively and efficiently carry out the Will of the White Lodge, all under the synthetic Blue Lodge on Sirius. But the time is not yet.
Where we are now in the planetary process is the taking of the sub-initiation of ‘Air’ which leads to the mastery of the fourth subplane of the cosmic astral plane. When this occurs, and it is immanent, then the fourth subplane of the astral will serve as relaying point via the fourth subplane of the cosmic mental plane, for the energies of cosmic buddhi, the fourth universal ether, to reach our buddhic plane, the fourth cosmic ether. This in turn will have major effects in the awakening of the etheric bodies in human beings. It is this process which also underlies the revelation of the fourth quality of deity. We may look to 2025 and the incoming energies of the Fourth Ray to bring this realisation more fully into the consciousness, if not the active expression of human life.
Thus we may see some of the importance in the cosmic timing of things. If humanity became overly responsive to the energies pouring in from the higher cosmic planes before the Planetary Logos—working on those planes—had achieved mastery, then the consequences would be dire indeed for the ‘prisoners of the planet’. The war in Atlantis marked the midpoint of the battle for mastery of the fourth cosmic astral subplane. The second World War was a recapitulation of this within the Fifth Race, and the planetary sub-initiation immediately before us will mark the point where mastery is achieved in the Fifth Subrace of the Fifth Rootrace of the Fourth Round. Two-thirds of the subplane matter of the fourth subplane of the cosmic astral plane will have been mastered by the Planetary Logos. When he masters two-thirds of the fifth subplane and thus two-thirds of the whole cosmic astral plane, He will take the Second major cosmic Initiation, and He will do so in the next Round.
The teachings on Shamballa are given out to prepare humanity to play an active role in this great event.
At the Second Initiation a human being receives a brief but important contact with the monad. It is this contact that provides the energy for the defeat of the forces of the astral body. Between the Second and Third Initiation a man must demonstrate his non-responsiveness to astral energy, and he must demonstrate this through the outward expression of his life in the three worlds. His actions must come under mental control.
At the Second cosmic planetary Initiation the personality of the Planetary Logos comes under increased attention from the planetary soul on the third subplane of the cosmic mental plane. It is this energy that will allow the Earth to take the Second cosmic Initiation and become a sacred planet, in demonstration.
At this time there must be a nucleus of those amongst humanity who are capable of responding directly to the energy of Shamballa and thus indirectly to the energies of Will pouring forth from the Will petals of the planetary egoic lotus on the cosmic mental plane.
This nucleus must be strong enough to hold the activity of the human race in alignment with planetary Will and in resistance to planetary desire. This nucleus will be an effective global government. Today we have only the rudimentary beginnings of such a body. For it to form within humanity, humanity must be educated about the Will and about Shamballa. The Externalisation of the Hierarchy that results from this education will lead eventually to the establishment of a divinely based governing body on the physical plane in direct response to Shamballa, and through Shamballa to the Will of the Planetary Logos. When the Planetary Logos is able to achieve this result in this, the second system, then He will have taken the necessary preliminary steps which will allow Him to use his body of manifestation in the next system to anchor and express a part of the Plan of the Solar Logos.

In this way the central energy of Will is both the first and last energy of any system. It is the alpha and omega of any group. It begins as the unknown, unseen and unsuspected cause of coherence in any group field. It ends in a completed demonstration of purpose brought about as the result of the recognition in consciousness of that united purpose by each of the component parts.
A reservoir of Will is created whenever a deeper and more coherent relationship, in alignment with Hierarchical purpose, is recognised and committed to by a centralising consciousness. This recognition and commitment is the source of future synthesis.
What I am asking you to do is both create such a reservoir and learn how to distribute its contents in time and space. The keys to its creation are:
• Vertical alignment with a higher synthesising
point—in this case myself as the centre of the ashram.
• A growing vision of the completed purpose for
which the ashram has been formed.
• A recognition of those other individuals and groups who are also in vertical alignment with me.
• A commitment to aiding the achievement of the
coherent purpose.
• The taking of spiritual responsibility for the completion of some part of that purpose.
The keys to the distribution are:
• A recognition of the stage of completion of
the ashramic purpose in time and space.
• An appreciation of the stage of awareness and
responsibility reached by others with whom you seek to cooperate.
• The achievement of a balanced and co-measured
application of your own capacities.
• Skilful communication which requires the careful balancing of the heart and the head.
Imagine that an ashram is one consciousness united by a single purpose. In order to fulfil that purpose, the ashram has the use of a certain number of incarnated personalities as well as a certain number of individualised souls, initiated to different degrees. As the purpose flows through the whole field of the ashram, it ‘orders’ or organises the ashram upon lines that are maximally designed for the efficient externalisation of that purpose.
The greater the fusion in consciousness, the more efficient the use of the resources and the more flexible the ashram becomes in response to conditions in the outer, and the more skillful therefore in implementing the Will of the Master.
2. The isolation of the personality vehicles. While it is crucially important for there to be a high degree of ‘fusion’ and communion between the higher minds and buddhic natures of the ashramic members, it is equally important for there to be separation and isolation amongst their personality vehicles. I have been teaching you about the ‘sealing’ of the vehicles and this is done for a particular reason. Most incarnated souls have lines of connection semi-permanently attached between their minds, and particularly their emotional bodies. These lines allow for the free passage of energy between individuals and set up ‘patterns of connection’ and group behaviours. When triadal energy is poured into any individual, it automatically runs down these 'lines' and creates all types of effects in the lives of others. This is one of the reasons for so much suffering occurring in the lives of disciples, particularly around the Second Initiation, as they attempt to cut these ties and establish relationships at a higher level. The heart is loving but does not form the same ‘attachments’ as the emotional body.
When soul energy is flowing along the lines of connection between one person and another, it is recognised within the system of the person on the receiving end as ‘soul energy’ although not exactly ‘their soul energy’ if one can use such a separative term. The closer the ashramic affiliation between the two people, the closer the recognition of the energy. The problem is that this energy is responded to as coming into the person’s system horizontally from within the three worlds. This sets up an often unconscious response to this energy. The emotional body of the person receiving has a heartfelt response and ‘moves towards the source of the energy’ (the other person’s emotional body) seeking to establish a lasting connection. This function is inherent in the emotional body and is an aspect of the emotional desire for the soul or the Christ life. Instead of being directed vertically through the life of the individual (necessarily having to transform the mental nature as it breaks up from astrality to buddhi), it is directed horizontally to what it perceives as the source of its nourishment in the three worlds. This phenomenon underlies much of the experience of ‘falling in love’, especially among aspirants, and also much of what occurs between teachers and their devotional disciples.
Thus in order for ashramic energy to be safely released through the personality of an individual, it is important that the personality is ‘isolated’, otherwise the magnetic potency of the energy will only serve to increase the glamour and illusion in the persona and the group of people with which he or she is affiliated. This isolation or 'insulation' allows for the energy to be transmitted between the higher minds of individuals without activating so much the lower mind and astral nature.
Those whose souls thrill to the Will pouring through the centre of the ashram and yet able to control the effects of that energy on their personality. Those wise enough to know those circumstances which warrant the acceptance of inner aid, those where they should step aside and allow the consciousness of a more experienced worker to enter, and those which they are fully equipped to handle themselves.
A more advanced phenomena which will become gradually more common as the energy of Aquarius increases, is the overlighting of groups. This is being experimented with now and it is envisaged that the group forming at Highden can form part of this experimentation. Many of the same criteria for individual overshadowing need to be applied to the group process, with one major exception. While it is important for the individual personality system to be ‘insulated’ this will apply to the group as a whole but NOT to individuals within the group. It is the group which is ‘insulated’ from other groups and not the individuals within it from each other.
The group must be composed of individuals who are able to insulate but can then consciously connect up with each other not only with the higher mind but mentally, emotionally and etherically as well. These groups will eventually become personality entities as well as soul groups. Many problems and difficulties will need to be worked through in this process however.
Unconscious and co-dependent connections between group members will undermine the process—they are part of the group glamours and illusions and they need to be dissipated and dispelled. All connections between individuals that are personality based and therefore centre upon survival issues, self esteem or the attainment of knowledge must be broken. Can you conceive of the distinction between connections that are personality based and soul based my brother? The actual mechanism of the connection is the same—mental astral and etheric currents connecting group members—but the motivation for the connection and the energies flowing through the connections are entirely different. Think this through. This is why the unconscious or semi-conscious personality ties must be broken and the individual able to stand on his or her own feet in the light of their own soul before true group work can commence.
That work proceeds from the top down rather than the bottom up. Firstly, group members connect upon the higher mental planes—this connection draws them into relationship upon the outer planes. They then develop lower mind connections as they work through ideological differences—thus the manasic or Intelligence Aspect of the soul begins to work through the group mind. Astral connections come next as flows of buddhi or the Love nature condition the emotional life of the group and create a linking between heart chakras. Lastly the atmic or Will nature of the soul begins to flow through the etheric body, creating eventually a ‘body of fire’ for the group. This fire body represents the Will upon the physical plane and is the source of the capacity for group manifestation as well as the redemption and purification of the form.
An initiated group will eventually be able to operate as a spiritual organism united in ashramic consciousness, moving in the inner and outer worlds, as a flock of birds moves through the air, driven not by instinctual connection that is pre-individualisation but by the spiritual Will of the ashram which is post-individual and synthetic.
Groups can begin by consciously, forthrightly and daringly exploring the connections that exist between them—identifying those that are personality based and gradually eliminating them—developing those which allow a greater infusion of buddhi and ashramic consciousness. This is a process of group purification and needs to be actively and consciously undertaken by carefully selected individuals over a period of time.
