It
is my belief that more and more groups who have equipped and trained
their minds in the esoteric teachings are being given opportunities
to come into a more direct alignment with the ashram and serve as transmitters
for Hierarchical energy and teaching. This would indeed be a welcome
balance to the volumes of more astrally based messages that are becoming
more prevalent as humanity as a whole becomes increasingly responsive
to the Externalising process.
I offer these insights from my own
experience with this work in the spirit of esoteric science and
in the hope that a fuller understanding of the processes involved may
lead to a deeper connection by students with the ‘life’ and
intent behind the teachings.
After studying the esoteric tradition and in particular
the works of Alice Bailey for twelve years I was approached by an inner
presence that I felt to be the Master DK in January of the year 2000.
This was not a generalized energetic contact but a specific request
to carry out a particular piece of
writing work connected with the general theme of the third
revelation that was prophesised for the early part of this century. I had both a feeling of ‘déjà vu’
in the sense of having already prepared and agreed to do this work at
a deeper level combined with a sense of trepidation as I realized something
of the changes that saying ‘yes’ to this project would precipitate
in my outer life. I sat down and wrote the following as
it was impressed on my mind.
A side note here about the way this process works
for me. It is not a dictation process in that I hear and then record
individual words. It is a process whereby the ‘idea’
, the key archetypal energetic thoughtform
( really a ‘thought-essence’) is gently impressed on the mind
and then clothes itself in words that are formulated within my mind
but can be checked back in reference to the ‘archetypal thought.
It is more a communion of souls than a communion of minds. My soul is
receptive to the inflowing energy from the soul of the Master and then
this energy clothes itself in the mind and generates words. Naturally
elements of my own personality colour what is received but I have found
that as the training progresses this diminishes.
I
have told you that the remainder of the twentieth century was to be
given over to the rebuilding of world civilisation
and the distribution of world resources. ( see
Destiny of Nations ). If
you could but see things from the inner worlds you might realise
how much has been achieved. There is still the working through of the
inner victories on to the outer spheres of activity in the three worlds
but great victories for the human spirit there have been. Now begins that tremendous task which
so many of you who are now in incarnation are equipped to fulfill. It
is for this that I write.
I have also
said that the teaching which I have the responsibility to deliver into
the mind of mankind has another phase to run. The
work now is to anchor
the new culture - a culture
based on the realities of the inner worlds and thus in alignment with
solar systemic and cosmic energies. This new culture is founded upon
the energy of liberation - a liberation from
living based on fears concerning the survival of the form.
Everywhere the vitalising fires of spirit are breaking through into consciousness
and liberation is occurring in the hearts of individuals and , increasingly, as we enter the Aquarian Age, in the hearts
of groups.
The keynote
of this emerging culture is synthesis. A synthesis
that recognises the One Life and thereby allows the group and the
individual to find their proper place and purpose within the whole.
It is an important
truism that 'synthesis differentiates' and it is this that allows the
recognition and subsequent demonstration of brotherhood. It is brotherhood
that is the foundation of Hierarchy and the expression of this brotherhood
upon the outer plane is the promise of the Aquarian Age and the result
of the culture
of synthesis.
The direction
of this emerging culture is towards manifestation. The gift of the last
two thousand years qualified by the sixth ray has been the aspiration
of the consciouness, identified with matter, towards spirit. At the
cusp of the ages, significant numbers have shifted their identity into
the intangible realms and now the great outbreath
begins - the expression of
consciousness, identified with spirit, towards manifestation
and the resulting redemption of matter. It is this great act of courage,
exemplified for us in the Christ's decision to reappear, that forms
the directional basis for
the Yoga
of daring. The Externalisation of The Hierarchy
is a deliberate, intelligent, loving and willful act of affirmation.
An affirmation of the essential nondual
nature of reality. A demonstration, through
identification, that spirit and matter are not two, but one.
This demonstration ends the gap in collective conciousness
between so-called life and death, liberating humanity and through humanity
the other kingdoms in nature, from the clutch of fear.
The result of
this emerging culture will be 'life more abundant'. Ultimately we are called upon to truly
Live, to allow Life to irradiate us in greater and greater degree -
a sustained burning that
will eventually set the whole earth aflame with
blue fire so that we make take our place amongst the sacred planets
and add our note of harmony to the music of the spheres.
Along with this impression came a
vision of a series of books completed over the next twenty five years.
A plan was being laid out for me in time and space and yet the heart,
the core of this outer process was already complete. The core assertion
was an energetic ‘sound’ , a fiat
of freedom, which would gradually clothe itself in ideas and these ideas
would be written down in books and studied. The ideas and the books
were not the Teaching however, the Teaching was the reality of the affirmation
of inherent freedom ‘sounded’ by a Being with intent to liberate
those held within the illusion of mind. Any thoughts or ideas that clothe
that ‘sound’ will have at their core that purposeful reality.
The Teaching contains then the great Shamballic ‘sound’ stepped down by Hierarchy in
such a way that it liberates
human consciousness from illusion and then makes of it a sheath for
anchoring that ‘sound’ in the depths of matter.
In May 2000 at the time of the Wesak full moon I travelled with
eight others to the Wesak valley on the slopes
of Mt Kailas in Tibet
in response to an inner call to be present physically at the time of
the Shamballic Impact.
Upon return to New
Zealand I helped found
an esoteric school at Highden near Palmerston North along the lines of the occult schools laid
out in Letters On Occult Meditation. The core of this ‘school’
named itself in meditation “Shamballa School”
although this name did not apply to the outer location but to the inner
group process in the founding of the archetypal energetics.
This process was guided principally in our group experience by three
inner energies or Masters – the Master Morya, The Master DK and a Seventh Ray Master under the Master
R. This triangle worked through a coordinating point, a
fourth degree initiate who we also worked with subjectively but
never met and who had the direct responsibility for the project.
My writing work continued in three
ways. The first part had to do with the third phase of the teachings.
In my experience this was definitely under the impression of the Master
DK and takes the form of an esoteric and abstract treatise on subjects
that lead on from A Treatise on Cosmic Fire. The second phase of the
transmitted works deals with the group initiatory process and is also
under impression. The third aspect has to do with individual practice
and is my own penetrative work although carried out more in line with
the Morya line of energy.
My experience these two ways of writing is quite different.
The Dk impression writing is rhythmic and requires surrender –
the willingness to open the consciousness in a way that allows it to
be 'thought through'. A relationship is established by both sides..
The work on the first ray line is sporadic and requires striving. The
consciousness must be bought to a place of intense breakthrough either
through abstraction or application to a specific outcome in the three
worlds ( often both are required ) before deeper
contact with the energy stream is attained.
It is my prayer that these two ways of using the
mind - as an instrument for penetration and as a vehicle for receptivity
- symbolised by the sword and the chalice - come into greater balance
in the world allowing the reality of what lies beyond the mind to reveal
itself.

For
those particularly interested in the process of 'receiving'
, the following
extracts are from Transmissions over a two and a half year period that
specifically refer to the transmission process itself and to my preparation
and dialogue as a receiver.
They are the only parts of the tranmitted material which could be deemed
'personal' and relate specifically to this type of training of the mind.
18.04.01
I want to make some personal comments
now concerning your work for me
Now, what I propose is a regular time for transmission.. The work that you are doing on Sundays is primarily under
the impression of the Master Morya and should
proceede. The release of a book on Agni Yoga is much needed at this time. He works somewhat differently
to me in that you are required to do much more of the penetrative work.
He gives short bursts of energy while I prefer sustained periods wherein
I articulate a full piece of work from many angles. I like to work through
my scribes rather than have them pierce the veils themselves. The energy
is inpouring rather than abstracting if you know what I mean.
If you are willing to work in this way we need merely make a regular
rhythmic time for the dictation. Wednesdays work well as the energy
of mercury is conducive to my work. Shall we say an hour or two each
Wednesady from 10 am
onwards?
I understand about the fears you have
in opening your mind in such a fashion. Rest assured that you are well
protected and have been watched and worked on for many years prior to
this work commencing. The greatest dangers are not from outside forces
interferring with our communication but from
forces within your own nature – forces of doubt and pride that
may seek to distort or take over this work
Hence we use many such for our works throughout the
world and they are tested thus in the quality of their communications
and the clarity with which they express our work.
Let
us begin the training for the day. What I want you to do is to endeavour to hold as high an energetic point of tension as
possible and then just let your fingers to the walking Your work is to hold the consciousness
ever in that high place and thus maintain the clear channel through
which my thoughts can pour.
Yes, it is like developing a muscle
and your mind is likely to get tired, rebel and so forth.
Remember that I said sustained effort my brother. You
mind is learning to sacrifice. Rather than having interesting bits of
information to think about the elemental lives are being forced to obey
and cooperate with a higher
energy which seeks to communicate not with them but through them and
this for the benefit of humanity.. Do not worry about the quality of
what is being written. Give it a month and then review and pass judgement on the material.
Another factor that I would ask
you to deeply consider is the way in which your teaching is done at
the centre. No mention is to be made of these communications to others
, and this includes those close to you until such time as it
has become clear to you that the communications are valid and make a
contribution to the work. Until then, I ask you to draw your support
and strength in the uncertainty of the process from me. If at the end
of a month of work, you are not satisfied then we will review.
2 May 2001
Disciplining the mind for this type
of work is not an easy thing
but progress is being made. You must allow time for this contact to
develop and just allow the process to take its course. The reading from last week has not yet
been done but you will have noticed how the bits and pieces of information
I give you have worked themselves out during the intervening time and
this should be of some use in realising the
value of persisting.
Hold and deepen your connection with
me over time. Work at your current soul lesson which is to become as
a soul, a fire at the centre of your project. Really learn the lessons
of sacrifice and you will be supported from the inner worlds in this.
9 May 2001
There is much going on within Hierarchy
itself, not to mention the agitations in your own group field. I would
once again emphasise the need for the archetypes
to anchor. Archetypes, Archetypes, Archetypes.
Energetic realities seeking to impress themselves
upon the material plane, gathering and ordering forms into conformity
with the law. The forms will protest of course. Listen to the
protestations but keep your will firmly on the side of the archetypes.
16 May 01
Well, one month has come and gone
and you will be aware of a number of responses to our work. First, it
will be apparent that the quality of the ‘channel’ varies
and that some communications are more powerful and less coloured
by the activities going on in your own field. Scecondly
you will be aware of the ‘significance’ of the communication
– regardless of the ‘meaning’. There is a difference
here. The significance refers to the ways in which the inflowing energy
shapes the consciousness aspect and affects therefore your environing
consciousness. It is this energy which lies behind the formulated words
and concepts – the transmission of ‘life’. Thirdly you
will be aware of the ‘attractiveness’ of the second ray energy
– there is no repulsion experienced by your emotional and physical
vehicles in this process as there is when the emphasis is purely mental
or along first ray lines.
I have a few observations of my own
to offer about the interaction. It is not easy for you to ‘surrender’
your mind in this way but curiously that is why I have chosen to work
with you. Your mind is rather impervious to the input of others which
means that the purity of my thought will be maintained IF brother, and
that is a big IF, you will trust me enough to fully open to my impression.
You trust no one my brother and that in a way is a good thing and has
served you well. If we are to work together however you must develop
and strengthen your trust in me so that a part of your mind is not second
guessing or interpreting as you type. Another major hindrance is the
attachment, the stickiness of your astral body. Just as you mind is
insular, your emotional body is absorbing so that the environing conditions
play upon your astral nature unceasingly. You have done much work in
trying to minimise this impact or at least not be controlled by it,
however it is still a hindrance. We can work around it by undertaking
some cleansing before beginning our work and also by ‘sealing’
the meditation room during the times of our labour.
It is important that you come to this work as little energised
by you environment as possible. Perhaps a shower and
a meditative cleansing before beginning.
Go ahead with your writing
brother - let the agni work be completed under your name and as your project.
Use this connection for assistance and support. Perhaps later we will
work at dictation writing. Agni is peculiarly
your own work and a piece of your own soul’s karma so proceed on
that basis. Continue however to set aside this time on Wednesday morning
and I suggest that you do something similar for Agni.
Friday is the most suitable and then save Sunday for the abstract work
which has no expression and yet is the rock upon which all else is built.
23.05.01
Brother, I plan to take our work to
a deeper level today as an experiment. You will be aware of the need
to allow me greater access through your thoughtforms.
What I have to say concerns the work of Hierarhy
and not so much your work there at Highden.
We are in the middle of a planned push forward onto the outer plane
and hierarchical workers all over the world are feeling this inner pressure.
We require humanity’s conscious cooperation in
this process. The education work of the last century was designed to
condition the minds of many disciples so that when this push came it
would not be too disturbing and disruptive to the minds of men. It is
not easy to genuinely open oneself to another kingdom. The boundaries
between them are strong and rightly so. If you could but see the whole
phenomenon of ‘impression’ encompassing as it does so many
levels from astral channeling to the preoccupation with UFOs to
;think tanks; - everywhere mankind is becoming receptive ‘en
mass’ to impression. Naturally this impression is being filtered
through many layers of energy both individual and collective and there
are many attendent dangers. We have to be
careful not to increase the level of illusion and glamour as a result
of our impression. That is why we need clear minds and personalities
that are not subject to major distortion. You have such a mind brother
and we are consequently asking for your help. Information must be able
to be spread from many different levels – not only subjective but
from living personalities able to stand up for and express that which
can produce fear and ridicule in sensible and sensitive ways. The distorted
presentations are many and still often do good work in the overall conditioning
process.
Clear channels with relative pure
motives are few however and needed . The emphasis
is shifting from the mere distribution of information which has been
valuable to the ‘embodiment of the principles’ which will
be far more demanding and therefore more impactful on the pysche of the race.
It is one thing to hypothesise about intelligent
beings in the inner worlds – another to actually speak on behalf
of them. Oh yes, I sense your recoil from being involved in anything
like that and question you as to your motive, Is it not, my brother
that you fear the ridicule and misunderstanding that is likely to be
directed at you from all corners. Are you not prideful of your independent
mind and personality? What would it mean to you to be seen as the mere
pawn in the hand of a disincarnate ( or at
least distantly incarnated ) entity? An entity that
would be open to much debate as to its very existence. Your motives
would be examined closely and many would find them wanting. And you
would be challenged most forcefully by your very brothers in the esoteric
community.
However your work
on our behalf would cause much debate in those and wider circles.
It would be a tremendous service to our cause which is the cause of
humanity. Only we know the sacrifice brother – others will see
the motives as seeking fame and authority from external sources. Don’t
you see the irony of it. It is the very fact
that you do not want this path as a personality that will help protect
you from the pitfalls and more importantly, my friend, protect our intended
work from taint.
As to your thoughts that it might
be possible to do it and then put it out under pseudonyms etc….well
perhaps you could tell yourself that to make it easier for awhile but
you must eventually see that we are asking you to stand for it. It is
the very fact that there is someone reliable on the physical plane who
will put the most intelligent case for our work and existence out there
that is crucial to its success
.Yes the quality of the work must be there and so we
will continue to keep this work rather private until you are sure that
it is valuable and not just a figment of your own superconciousness
or subconsciousness! Take time to think it
all through brother. Either we exist or we do not. Your answer to that
question will determine the future direction in your life. If the answer
is in the affirmative, then how will you avoid asserting that fact in
your life demonstration. This is the edge of your own next cliff
Me now: Ok well I have felt this coming
and I accept I have two types of reservation. Firstly the emotional
reaction of avoiding fear, ridicule and so on as was pointed out. It
feels like a ‘cup’ I would rather not lift from that point
of view. The second is not so easy to dismiss. It is my genuine and
sincere demand that what I embark on is not deluded. I am ready to accept
ongoing growth and therefore further revelation that may show what is attempted
in a brighter light . But the essential core of the attempt must be
real and substantial. I do not choose to have my life expression be
a source of delusion for others that leads them along paths that mislead.
There is a part of me that needs more – even though I know about
faith and have been offered so many proofs already that I feel I ‘should’
just proceed on that basis. I have a spiritual auditor inside me. Pluto
is on my saturn and I am demanding purity of intent from myself
and everything I am involved in. Am I really going to stand up as a
representative of ‘Masters’ that may in fact be figments of
Blavatsky’s imagination to lend strength to her own presentation?
What benefit is served by claiming inner higher authorities? Should
not the quality of communication speak for itself? Does truth need bolstering by the appeal
to authorities that remain unproven to the readers cognition? My concern
is right relations in the human family. Is that served by the expression
of communications from another ‘kingdom’?
Ok so I realise
as I am writing these doubts that my life demonstration and experience
is already proving that on some level I have answered them satisfactorily.
However there is still the premise that:
I am somehow creating these communications so that
a part of me that is seeking power and authority can elevate itself
by claiming direct communications to higher authority.
I have a good mind and have studied the teachings –
how do I know that information coming purportedly from DK is not just
an extrapolation of my own thoughts? The telepathic test is that I receive
information that I do not have access to through other channels. That
would convince me that the communication is at least coming from outside
my conscious or unconscious identity. Transmission from the group mind
or past live accumulations are still possibilities but by then I am
already deeply into mumbo jumbo land so may as well proceed and just
keep telling the truth about the source as it reveals itself to me in
the process.
So I feel justified in admitting a
personality reluctance which I will work to overcome on the condition
that I am convinced about the quality and source of the information.
Ok so the deal is this: I will offer up what I have
developed in this life – a soul/personality with a reasonably high
level of integration and respect within the esoteric community. I will
tell the truth = that the information I am receiving is (to the best
of my ability to discern ) from the Tibetan Master behind the writings of Blavatsky
and AA Bailey and is at least a part of the third transmission of the
teachings promised for the next century PROVIDED I have sufficient proof
of the quality and source of the information. If I receive ‘keys’
‘laws’ stanzas’ etc that are not only interesting but
REVEALING in a way that logically builds upon all that has been given
before, then and only then will I STAND UP for you. And I will stand
– in gratitude for what is being given and without complaint for
the personality arrows which will surely follow such a position. To
this I am willing to pledge myself although admittedly I am not in whole
heart about this yet but will bend myself towards becoming so.
DK :Brother,
we understand your position and would not expect anything different.
It is useful for us to be able to dialogue in this matter as it helps
to separate the two streams of consciousness even though one (
mine) is expressing itself through the other ( yours ). This
is part of the mystery of ‘retention of identity’. There is
no separation between ’ my soul and thine’
and yet there is retention of identity and ‘authorship’. Strange
is it not? Are there not times in your own experience where you are
not ‘at your best’ meaning that your consciousness is functioning
through lower vehicles which may be somewhat clouded or restricted.
If one begins to redefine ones identity through ‘identification’
with the ashram or with Hierarchy itself, then there will of course
be times when more or less of the Self is expressing through any one
‘self’ but there is no real separation of consciousness and
identity. Only the concentration of that identity
and its distribution through the component parts. We are one
and yet together we are somewhat more than apart. This works in consciousness
as well as form. So I see that it will help to explain further the mechanism
by which such communications as this can take place – not only
for your own comfort but for the satisfaction of our ‘audience’.
The best way I can describe it is
this – I ‘shine’ my conciousness towards and through your consciousness with intent.
In this case the intent is the transmission of the third phase of the
teachings. Naturally this shining will stimulate you own consciousness
and there will be
a necessary peiod of ‘preparing the field’.
It is not disimilar to the soul conditioning
the three periodic vehicles. In this case it is my soul conditioning
your soul if such a distinction can be made. This takes place upon the
higher levels of the mental plane and so therefore requires that you
are able to ‘hold your mind steady in the light of the soul’.
This then allows transmission to take place from my soul/mind to your
soul/mind. Of course the transmission is energy and that energy will
be conditioned by the quality and intent of my soul and mind as well
as your own. That is why a clear alignment of intent is necessary. We
need to be clear upfront what it is that we are trying to achieve together.
Then we need to have a functional mechanism that allows us to connect
at specific times and in specific places ( the
causal body). Next we need to work on the quality of our connection
– I am used to transmitting but must make adjustments to you as
a receiver and you must learn how to keep the channel clear and also
how to purify your own fields so that they do not interrupt or distort
the flow of information.
I am looking forward to our work together and am pleased
by what we have achieved to date.
13.06.01
Brother I have some personal messages. You must spend
some more time alone attempting to deepen your connection to me, your
Master, at least in this work and also to work on developing the continuity
of consciousness which will be so important in your role within the
school. Sleep alone at least a couple of nights a week and especially
Tuesday night before our session. Read the information on ‘surrender
of the centres’ and begin to practise
this surrender, willingly undergone to allow the inflow and control
of your individual centres by the planetary
ones.
This will make of you, an outpost for hierarchy. It
is a training in the art of ‘dying so that something greater can
live through you’. It is an art that all in hierarchy must perfect
and involves the overcoming of the fear that something is lost if ‘identity’
is surrendered at the level of ‘soul’. The so called soul
on the mental plane is merely the wrapping of the buddhic
entity in ahamkaric matter. The surrender
of the ‘identity’ is the way in which the mental matter is
released and the soul returns into it’s
group identification within the ashram upon the buddhic
plane. Your separate identity is only an illusion created by the operation
of the law of fixation upon the mental plane. When you allow the law
of magnetic control to be more powerful it ‘pulls the soul free’
into buddhi through bringing the lower aspect of manas upon the mental plane into relationship with its higher
aspect upon the atmic plane.
11.07.01
You have been in reaction to this
process occurring with me. It affects you at much deeper levels perhaps
than you have allowed for. Specifically the deep fears around giving up control of your thinking
processes. Try this mantram. “ I , the soul am in complete control of my instrument.
I surrender that control of my own free will and do so intelligently
and out of love for my Master and for the benefit of humanity.”
well, we have had a little bit of
a break and that has allowed you time to absorb the information I have
given you and more importantly, the whole process of contacting me and
trying to express my thoughts through yours. What do you think?
Me: I am certainly convinced enough
of the process to proceed if you think our work will be productive.
My own observations about my suitability are:
Sometimes I notice I react away from doing the work
even though all parts of me feel sustained once I am on the ‘flow’. A discipline thing and also the fear of
‘giving up’
Too, my emotional body can be sometimes too activated
to allow for clear communication. The process has shaken up my system
more than I would have imagined. And yes, all things considered I want
to proceed. The leading edge is those times when I totally open and
of course that is when the most useful and clear information comes through
but it is also the time that the sessions have most affect on me.
DK.
My perspective is slightly different
. When I ‘look’ towards you I see a light and as I
shine my consciousness upon that light it becomes more radiant and expansive.
You respond to this by recognising that you
are being impacted by energy outside your own system. When
you reach towards me as the source of that energy with trust and devotion.
It allows my consciousness to approach more closely to yours. The next
step is for me to ask you, for a time to let my consciousness, not only
pervade your field, but take it over and direct it for a time. This
means that my mind is directing the mental matter of your mind for the
period of the transmission. I am formulating it into new patterns which
you are then writing. Obviously, the quality of your own thinking will
have prepared the mental matter and built into it the required capacity.
I must work with those who are already prepared and willing for me to
lift them to another level. The benefit to you is that
, once I have worked through your mind, the substance will have
had its vibration raised and new connections made. The requirements
are that you surrender for a time your control of the field.
The crucial issue for me is whether or not you will be able to
do this on a sustained and regular basis. Do you trust me enough to
surrender and even if you do, will you do so? I do not sense any problem
with the capacity if you are willing to make time and then sincerely
attempt the process.
07.05.02
We are beginning a new phase of work
with you, both as an individual and as a group field. Just as the time
comes when the focus of attention on the development of the personality
stops and then begins to occur as a by product of the use of the personality
by the soul, so a similar process occurs on higher levels. The soul
builds the causal body ( develops it ) over
many lives and then there comes a time when the development is complete
and the causal body is merely used as a transmitter of the energy and
purpose of the monad. As
a byproduct, a result of the flow through of energy, the causal body
is thus bought to the highpoint of its unfoldment , becomes radioactive
and is eventually destroyed in the process. This is the outcome eventually
of the ‘path of fire’.
Rather than spending time building more into the causal
field through study and contemplation the emphasis shifts to distribution.
The ‘inbreath’ of the causal body does not arise from the
three worlds any longer – it descends from the monad. The outbreath goes into the three worlds and also throughout the
abstract mental plane.
As the ‘breath’ is bought down from the monad
this allows the ‘identity’ to ascend. This is like the seventh
ray equivalent to an earlier sixth ray process when the soul attempts
to reach up or ‘breath out’ to the monad. The link has now been established
and the flow is reversed. As monadic energy pours into and eventually
destroys the causal field, the inner man is gradually released from
the illusion of a fixed identity. The law of fixation rules on the mental
plane and identity is ‘formalised’
– firstly on the abstract levels as the causal body from which
the soul incarnates, and secondly, in any one life, as a personal
‘identity’ on the
lower mental, astral and etheric physical
planes. It is monadic energy which will liberate the immortal soul by
destroying the illusions of lesser ‘identities’.
This is an important point – it is not the identity
of the incarnated soul infused personality which is attempting to ‘ascend’
out of the mental plane. It is what is left over when those identities
have been destroyed.
As an individual your work will be to help others build
this higher antahkarana – firstly through
the aspiring soul/ personality and eventually through the invoked descent
of electric fire into the causal field. Leave the work of instruction
on building the lower antahkarana between the soul and personality to others.
Attempt to spend more time ‘free’ from the
causal field – this can be done through the act of identification
with the ashram – attempt to ‘see’ your own causal body,
those of the group and those of the worldwide group with which I am
working as contents of one field. This is the view that a Master has
and can therefore support in your consciousness if you are able to relax
the ‘identity’ muscle. It is rather like the ‘magic eye’
books – a certain relaxation of the focus occurs and a three dimensional
image comes into view. A certain relaxation of the identity occurs and
then, firstly the causal bodies
of your group are perceived ( this would indicate a location of identity
on the first subplane of the mental plane
) and then the ashram as a whole is ‘seen’
when the location of identity ( or should I say when what is left of
the being once identity is taken away )is on the buddhic
plane. All discussion about whether or not there is an ‘individual
monad’ belongs to the mental plane. On the buddhic
plane there is only a shared realization of identity with the ashram
and the perception of greater ‘identifications’ that will
take place on higher levels.
There is a ‘science’ that relates to the
building of the higher antahkarana as well
as the lower. Just as the soul becomes actively involved once the personality
has completed the dedicated work of contact, so the monad becomes actively
involved once the soul/personality fusion has reached a certain stage.
Both the higher and lower strands are completed from both directions.
In fact it is only consciousness which is being completed,
the antahkarana itself ever exists and is eventually recognized
as the source of life itself when the consciousness is able to extend
from the monad to the base chakra of the personal
self. This higher science has everything to do with the Shamballa
mysteries.
Shamballa energy is now impacting
humanity directly. This is equivalent to the monad impacting the personality.
In order to complete the triangle, the personality must be able to respond
directly thus closing the circuit.
Man must be educated in his personal waking consciousness
about the relationship to the monad but this must only occur when the
soul and personality
have achieved a certain level of integration.
The descent of soul energy into the personal vehicles
produces glamour and illusion initially. The descent of monadic energy
into the soul produces crisis. The reverse is also true – it is
the light of the soul which is able to clear the glamours
and illusions of the personality. It is the life of the monad which
is able to resolve the crises of the incarnated soul. Before the second
initiation, there is no contact of any real conscious nature with the
monad. The crisis of the astral nature at the second degree is so great
that the point of tension created, opens the channel to the monad for
the first time. Crisis
invokes response. Once the disciple understands this process they can
eventually invoke monadic energy at will. Crisis is now the result of
the invocation and not the cause. The soul is being in effect ‘evoked’
by the monad. The inflowing ‘life’ has become much more attractive
to the individual and this attraction is strong enough to offset the
negative experiences that the lower nature endures as a result. This
process culminates in the fourth initiation.

I
have some personal instructions for you this morning. I would like our
work to enter into a new phase that involves a deeper training in surrender.
Up until now I have been putting ideas into your mind and you have been
developing them yourself. For the advanced teaching that I am intending
to impart I will need to have a greater degree of control over the process.
This will mean that you must be able to surrender more fully to my consciousness
and to allow it to express more fully without the interference of your
own mind. This is why you are experiencing an aversion to thought and
to mental processes as I seek to liberate your consciousness from its
identification with the mental plane. In order for me to do this work you must
be able to abstract yourself – to move your soul consciousness higher –
to rest in the inner place of peace while I am writing through you.
You will experience
this as an intensely restful and blissful experience and your training
is to be able to hold this point of inner focus and tension for longer
and longer periods . It is a definite training. The more fully you are
able to hold this inner alignement the more
fully I will be able to use your vehicles and therefore the more vital
information I will be able to deliver. If your consciousness is present
and trying to understand and filter all the information as it comes
through then a much longer and more laborious process results. I am
in effect then limited by the limitations of your consciousness –
the result will be work that is on the outer limits of what you are
able to penetrate into yourself , aided by
my energy.
I seek to do something more however. To
give information which is beyond that which you are capable of presently
understanding – information which will be useful to students studying
this work in fifty or one hundred years. To do this I must be able to
by pass the intelligence in you which seeks
to understand and merely express information through you. To do this
you will experience a greater degree of being ‘out of control’
however if you do this correctly your consciousness will be restored
and renewed as it rests in the high place. Your benefit will come as
a result of being able to move aside for periods of time. The experience
is somewhat like being able to die while you are still alive. You, as
a soul merely surrender your vehicles and return to a deeper focus in
the ashram and more and more, the monad.
This
opens a greater door between inner and outer existence allowing you
to rejuvenate yourself as a soul. You must remember that the capacity
to liberate oneself as a soul is not necessarily related to the capacity
for wisdom. At the third degree you are able to conquer ‘death’
and travel more easily between the inner and outer worlds. This is a
stage that marks the end of the soul’s education in the three worlds
and the beginning of the higher education of the soul as it seeks to
work consciously in the five worlds. As a Master of the five worlds
I am able to impart information or concepts which express this experience so that disciples
will be able to make more rapid progress as a result of preparation for what lies ahead of them.
You
must learn to move aside and trust this process without trying to control
it. The control comes from a two fold concern. The first is that you
fear the quality and accuracy of the information – you attempt
to overcome this by filtering it through what you already know and thus
limit what can come through. In order to overcome this fear I suggest
you
Take the experimental
approach. Continue to use your time on Wednesday morning for writing
which you share with the core group. Then make some more time available , while you are prepared and still fresh for cutting
edge writing where you attempt to move further aside in the process.
Share this with no one but evaluate it yourself over time – say
a month or two
.The
second fear is more difficult to overcome. You fear being ‘taken
over’ by me. This is a result of your identification with your
causal body. The analogy in the three worlds is the fear of someones
else’s emotions working through your physical body. In the latter
analogy, you must be able to say ‘no’ to the process first
in order to later surrender yourself to merging with another. When the
merging is unconscious and particularly when the merging is against
your will, then damage occurs and fear results. You can work to overcome
this fear by remembering that you are the ‘sovereign’ of your
own vehicles and have choice over when and how they are used. The other
side of the fear is a desire to leave and not return which manifests
as a desire to be ‘taken over’ and let someone else be responsible
for your life.
This
work is only possible when an individual in the three worlds is fully
responsible for their own soul purpose and expression AND in addition
makes time for their vehicles to be available for a higher purpose –
in this case to be utilized by my consciousness in order to express
a body of teaching.
The
point to remember is that when you are identified with and therefore
‘invested’ in the ‘not-self’ you become both protective
of that ‘not self’ and desirous of being liberated from it
at the same time. These are conflicting impulses and they can be experienced
by the soul in relationship to the causal body as well as by the emotional
body in relationship to the physical body. The key is disidentification resulting in disinvestment. This is the
very thing you will achieve by lifting your focus higher for longer
and longer periods to dwell in the inner sanctuary. As a byproduct of
this process, you will also develop a greater trust in me and find that
your vehicles are much more rapidly developed as a result of their brief
‘inhabiting’ by my consciousness.
So let us attempt
something of this:
Begin with this
seed thought: As a soul I am Master of my personality. It is my field
of expression and the way by which I learn to manifest my purpose. I
now willingly surrender that field for ( specific
period of time ) in order for it to be used by He who is Master of me
in the same way that I am Master of my personality. This surrender is
accomplished through the active principle of love.
