Humanity’s Key Role
The keynote, therefore, of the Lord
of the World is HUMANITY for it is the basis, the goal and the essential inner
structure of all being. Humanity itself is the key to all evolutionary
processes and to all correct understanding of the divine Plan, expressing in
time and space the divine Purpose. Why HE chose that this should be so, we know
not; but it is a point to be accepted and remembered in all study of [Page 127] the Science of Impression because it is the
factor that makes relationship and contact possible and it is also the source
of all understanding. These are most difficult things to express and to enlarge
upon, my brothers, and only the penetrating intuition can make these matters
clearer to your avid and active intelligence.
You will note, therefore, that
though we call one of the major centres HUMANITY, yet—in the last analysis—all
the centres are constituted of lives progressing towards the human stage, of
those units of life who are at the human stage, and those who have left that
stage far behind but who are endowed with all the faculties and all the
knowledges wrought out into human expression in earlier planetary schemes or
solar systems, or through our own definite and characteristic planetary life.
Because of this uniformity of
experience, the art of contact and the science of impression become entirely
possible and normally effective. The great and omnipotent Lives in Shamballa
can impress the omniscient Lives and lesser lives in the Hierarchy because They
share a common humanity; the hierarchical Workers or Masters and Initiates can
consequently impress humanity because of shared experience and understanding;
then the lives that compose the human family present the goal to the subhuman
kingdoms and can, and do, impress them because of basic instinctual tendencies
which are expressed in the human group but which are latent instinctual
tendencies and potential assets in the three subhuman groups.
This teaching has always been
implicit in the esoteric doctrines but has not been sufficiently emphasised,
owing to the point in evolution of mankind. Today, mankind has made such
progress that these points can be made effectively. I would call to your
attention that this was the keynote of the Gospel story: the human-divine
nature of the Christ, [Page 128] relating Him to
the Father through His essential divinity, and also to man through His
essential humanity. The Christian Church gave a wrong slant to the teaching by
making Christ appear as unique, though the higher criticism (deemed so shocking
fifty years ago) has done much to correct this false impression.
The outstanding characteristic of
humanity is intelligent sensitivity to impression. Ponder on this definite and
emphatic statement. The work of science is, after all, simply the development
of the knowledge of substance and of form; this knowledge will make it possible
for humanity eventually to act as the major impressing agent in relation to the
three subhuman kingdoms in nature; that is humanity's primary responsibility.
This work of relationship is practically the work of developing or the mode of
unfoldment of human sensitivity. I refer here to sensitivity to impression from
or by the Hierarchy.
The work done through the processes
of initiation is intended to fit disciples and initiates to receive impression
from Shamballa; the initiate is essentially a blend of scientific and religious
training; he has been re-oriented to certain phases of divine existence which
are not yet recognised by the average human being. I am endeavouring to make
clear to you the basic synthesis underlying all manifested life upon our
planet, and also the close interplay or relationship which forever exists and
expresses itself through the supreme science of contact or of impression.
The three great Centres are in
close relationship at all times, even if this is not yet recognised by the
intelligent disciple; an unbroken series of impressions is ever present,
relating one centre to another and bringing about an evolutionary unity of
objective, and developing (with exceeding rapidity at this time) a secondary
science, that of Invocation [Page 129] and
Evocation. This science is in reality the science of impression in activity and
not simply in theory.
The first great Invocation was
uttered by the planetary Logos when He expressed the desire to manifest and
thus invoked and brought to Himself the substance needed for His designed expression.
That started the chain of being or of hierarchy; inter-relation was then set up
between all "substantial" units; the more potent and the more dynamic
and greater could then impress the lesser and the weaker until gradually—as the
aeons swept by—the seven Centres were created and were in close impressionable
relationship. Of these seven we are at this time considering only three; the
others we know very little about, for they are largely composed of units of the
deva evolutions (and I would ask you to note the plurality there) and of
subhuman lives, working under impression from the head, the heart and the
throat centres of the planetary Logos.
Students are apt to make their
thinking unduly complicated when they seek to itemise and define, to separate
into academic groups and brackets the multiplicity of energies with which they
feel confronted when considering the planetary and the human centres. I would
advise you that you think simply and (certainly, at first) in terms of the
three major energies as they emanate from some centre, become impressing
agents, and then are again transmitted or stepped down:
1. The dynamic electrical energy of
Life itself or divine potency, of embodied Purpose, expressing through
evolutionary manifestation the divine Will. It might be well to realise that
purpose emanates from the cosmic mental plane and is the all-inclusive,
synthetic, motivating principle which expresses itself as the divine will upon
the cosmic physical plane—the seven planes of our planetary Life. This dynamic
energy focuses itself through the Lives or Beings [Page
130] Who control and dominate Shamballa. Until the divine purpose has
been achieved, the planetary Logos holds all in manifestation through the
potency of His Will, and animates all forms with electric fire. Knowledge of
this Will and Purpose comes to the student who is constructing the antahkarana
and who is, therefore, coming under the control of the Spiritual Triad, the
threefold expression of the Monad.
2. The attractive magnetic solar
energy to which we give the quite unsuitable name of Love. It is this energy
which constitutes the cohering, unifying force which holds the manifested
universe or planetary form together and is responsible for all relationships;
it is this energy which is the soul of all things or of all forms, beginning
with the anima mundi and reaching its highest point of expression in the human
soul which is the constituent factor in the fifth kingdom in nature, the
Kingdom of God or of Souls. An understanding of this human potency comes as a
man makes contact with his own soul and sets up a stable relationship with that
soul; then he becomes a soul-infused personality. As you well know, the
threefold personality is to the soul what the Spiritual Triad is to the Monad: a
clear medium of expression. Most students are or should be today occupied with
this attractive energy, for until they have mastered the desire nature and have
transmuted it into aspiration and soul control, they cannot hope to comprehend
the dynamic energy of electric fire. This attractive magnetism is the energy
dominating and controlling the Hierarchy.
3. The intelligent activity of fire
by friction. Students would be well advised to re-read A Treatise on Cosmic
Fire where I deal at length with these three conditioning energies. This third
energy is the basic energy expressing itself in the three worlds and in the
four kingdoms in nature, climaxing its expression in the creative energy of the
human kingdom. [Page 131] This energy emanated
originally (as far as our solar system and our planetary scheme are concerned)
in the first solar system and is the best proven and the best known energy in
manifestation. It is the medium for activity in all forms through which the
planetary Logos expresses Himself; it is the result of the activity of the
divine Mind, as that peculiar type of divine energy plays upon and through all
atoms and upon all atomic forms. The fission of the nucleus of the atom in the
past few years is the outer sign or demonstration that humanity has
"encompassed" the divine Mind and can now move on to
"encompass" the love or the attractive nature of divinity. Ponder
upon this statement. I know not what word to use but encompass and it is
entirely inadequate. A new and deeper esoteric terminology is badly needed.
If you will work with and reflect
upon these three fundamental energies and search for their expression within
yourself, you will greatly simplify your occult thinking. Let me here make a
few more statements which you have perforce to accept hypothetically, but which
can nevertheless be substantiated by you if you arrive at an understanding of
the Law of Analogy or of Correspondences, and if you will also accept the
truism that the microcosm reflects the macrocosm and, therefore, each human
being is related to Deity through essential similarity.
Seven Statements Depicting the
Pattern of the Present Planetary Work
Statement One.
Dynamic electric energy entered
into our planetary sphere from extra-planetary sources and from a point of definite
focus upon the cosmic mental plane; this energy was paralleled by a secondary
energy from the sun Sirius, thus accounting for the dualism of manifestation.
Statement Two.
This energy expanded outward from
its central focus (the centre called Shamballa) and in this expansion became [Page 132] the agency which impressed the Plan upon
the serving Hierarchy. The Plan is that measure of possibility of immediate
importance which the divine Purpose can present at any given moment in time and
space.
Statement Three.
This process of expansion set up
another focal point of energy, and the heart centre of the planet, the
Hierarchy came into being; thus two centres were created and en rapport, which
constitutes a major event upon the involutionary arc; to this, little attention
has hitherto been paid. It coincided with" the advent or the arrival of
the Lords of Flame from the alter ego of our Earth, the planet Venus. They
created the nucleus of the Hierarchy which—in that far, very distant
time—consisted of only forty-nine members; these were advanced human beings and
not souls awaiting incarnation in human form on Earth, as was the case with the
vast majority of these visiting Solar Angels.
Statement Four.
Alignment between the head centre
and the heart centre upon the involutionary arc was thus set up; another
expansion took place which resulted, as you know well, in the creation of a new
kingdom in nature, the fourth or human kingdom. This kingdom was destined to
become and is today the third major centre in the planetary life. Then another
alignment, but one which is still contained upon the involutionary arc, took
place.
Statement Five.
Today, an evolutionary alignment is
taking place. The planetary centre which we call Humanity is active and
vibrant, and it is now possible to "progress along the Upward Way and
create the line which links the lesser with the higher, permitting thus an
interplay." Men are rapidly moving out of the human centre into [Page 133] the hierarchical centre; the mass of men
are responding to spiritual impression.
Statement Six.
At the same time, the heart centre
of the planetary Logos, the Hierarchy, whilst it is being responsive to the
invocation of the throat centre, Humanity, is becoming increasingly evocative
and is itself attaining a much higher contact and alignment with the head
centre of the planetary Logos; it is, therefore, capable of receiving a
constantly developing dynamic impression from Shamballa.
Statement Sever.
Thus a great alignment is being
achieved through the relationship and the interplay going on between these
three major planetary centres; this produces a constant inflow of energies from
several different sources, and these energies galvanise these three centres
into a new and increased activity. Invocation is arising all the time between
these centres and producing a consequent evocation of impressing energies.
In these seven statements, you have
depicted a PATTERN of the present planetary work or the present logoic thesis.
An involutionary alignment (the guarantee of future successful alignments)
constitutes most ancient history; an evolutionary alignment in which all three
centres are involved is constantly producing an interplay of energies as well
as a constantly successful impression of one centre upon another. Humanity, as
the throat centre of the planetary Logos and the prime planetary creative
agency (which modern science demonstrates), invokes the heart centre, the
Hierarchy, and then receives the needed impression which will result in the
developing civilisations and cultures as well as the eventual appearance on
Earth of the fifth or spiritual [Page 134]
kingdom.The Hierarchy or the planetary heart centre invokes Shamballa, the
planetary head centre, and the Plan—as an expression of the Purpose—is impressed
upon the hierarchical consciousness. If there is redundancy in these various
comments of mine, it is entirely intentional; repetition serves the purposes of
accurate presentation where esotericism is concerned.
As the invocative system spreads
and a greater alignment is attained, Shamballa—the planetary head
centre—invokes energies outside the planetary life and the inflow of cosmic and
solar energies will be very much greater; for this the esotericists of the
world must be prepared. It will also produce the advent or appearance of many
AVATARS, bringing with Them many and very different kinds of energies to those
which hitherto have controlled human affairs and the events and evolution of
the other, the subhuman kingdoms in nature. With the reappearance of the Christ
as the focal point or the supreme Agent of the planetary heart centre, a new
era or "divine epoch" will be instituted. The Avatar of Synthesis
will draw very close to humanity and He will inaugurate the "reign of
Avatars" Who will be embodied Purpose and spiritual Will; They will
initiate both the Hierarchy and Humanity into phases of the divine character of
which, at present, nothing is known and for which we have no terminology that
could convey the exact facts and nature. All that I am attempting to do here is
to give you a general outline of events which may lie centuries ahead but which
will inevitably occur—once the Christ is again in physical Presence and
recognition on Earth.
