Shamballa School

What does it mean to truly live? Sometimes when people talk about truly LIVING in capital letters they mean a full on vibrant personality life – good food, great people, adventure, wonderful sexuality, beautiful locations, music and art – the key note is enjoyment and appreciation.

Base chakra work is really useful for two types of beings. Those who want to take off and fly and those who need to ‘land the plane’. Doves and Ravens.

These three terms are often used in conflated ways, especially by those in the realm of spiritual development. One of the reasons people feel some resistance to doing their shadow work is because of this confusion. This paper is an attempt to tease these distinctions apart and differentiate them in the interest of more loving integration in our individual and collective lives.

There it sits at the heart of so many of our mystery temples - a couple making love. Is it an actual physical and sexual act - an ancient goddess ritual from Sumeria or the Great Rite of Wiccan Paganism - that connects us to the life force and the renewal of earth at spring?

We all know the archetypal story: A power that once existed in the world has been lost, a light has dimmed and now all things exist in a state of half-way-ness, half-heartedness, half-aliveness. There is not enough of the power left so that we have the courage to break out of our daze, but it is not gone so completely that we have forgotten it.

Thoughts on Capricorn as we approach the full moon.

This is a series of transmissions DK gave in the early 2000’s to Shamballa School and two other groups on inter-group work.

Our world did not end in 2012. But with a little help our worldview might have…

This paper looks at a possible wholistic framework for the effects of alignment with the galactic centre on the evolution of life and consciousness on Earth.

The black hole teachings allow us to experience something of our monadic reality and therefore something of the energy of planetary purpose.

When someone purports to be receiving transmissions of new information (as I have done myself) we are naturally cautious and want to compare the quality of that which is received with the immense contribution DK has offered to date.

“He who cannot howl will never find his pack ” Charles Simic. I confess that I have never been entirely trustworthy because I have not been totally truthful about who I am.

We might imagine on the path of ascent that we leave parts of our ‘selves’ identified with the etheric physical, astral, and mental planes representing Lemurian, Atlantean and Aryan consciousness respectively. The integration of these three is essential for healthy functioning.

The trouble with climbing high is that it means you can look down on others. One of the most difficult challenges prior to the third degree is mental pride, and it occurs for just this reason.

By way of clarifying our approach, I want to discuss the difference between initiation and identification.

Following on from the previous blog on Identification and Initiation, I want to talk about evolution in our tradition. In particular I want to confront those limitations embedded in earlier versions – the remnants of sexism, racism, anti-materialism, and so on.

Uranus rules the highest and lowest planes so under His rays She is revealed to us in all her glory once we reach the buddhic plane.

The wounded and abandoned consciousness that permeates our sheaths so needs to be listened to, honoured, without any justifications or explanations. And the transcendent consciousness that is our solar life needs to be broken free from identity and story on the mental plane so that it rests in pure awareness

To those identified with consciousness the unconscious and the superconscious are easily confused for both are not-conscious. Similarly, rebellion and sacrifice are both a resistance to the status quo.

One of the things that our tradition has is intricate maps of consciousness and cosmos – truly comprehensive, and yet the universal approach also needs to be simple and stripped of all esoteric language.

The Jaguar was thought to have the ability to cross between worlds as well as offer protection to Shamans as they themselves traversed the bridge between the earth and the spirit dimensions of reality.

Heading to the Mayan ruins on the Yucatan seemed like a fitting bookend to the 2012 journey which started at Kailas in Tibet.

If we understand that the process is to eventually ‘go dark’ and thus hold more current then we can hold a conscious approach that facillitates this – resulting in the ‘fast path’.

It seems relevant to me that both Alice A Bailey and Helena P Blavatsky were female, because there is a particularly feminine move in opening oneself to contact.

A soul-based partnership has its own partnership Soul-center & is a 
relationship attuned to this ‘inner’ Self, inner ‘Life’ aspect of the 
partnership or marriage itself, that ‘moves’ them forward.

The energy emanating from Shamballa is the animating force running through all ‘power points’, sacred centers or sites throughout the planet. Shamballa stands as the ‘One Central Point’ or innermost Heart of our Universal system.

To come out and say, especially earlier, that sex is intrinsic to one’s path, takes courage. Thankfully witch burnings and hanging for treason if you question the flat earth theory, are a thing of the past. In all its dimensions, sex is just about THE most important facet of our entire journey.

This post offers a compilation of references to the Temple of Power from the Trans-Himalayan Teachings.

In his work with Bruce, DK cites the use of the black hole at the centre of the galaxy as a cosmological symbol for the monad as one of the seven most significant aspects of his new teaching.

We are at the cross over point between civilisations. The best of times and the worst of times. As I have written extensively about elsewhere, the key cosmological symbol for this transition is the move from the sun at the centre to the black hole – the central spiritual sun.
