WORKING
THROUGH THE CENTRE
When the
centre is found by any human being and he becomes at-one with, and enters into
relation with his soul, then he automatically shifts his position in the human
family and—again speaking in symbols—finds himself part of the centre of light
and understanding which we call, esoterically, the occult hierarchy, the cloud
of witnesses, the disciples of the Christ, and other names according to the
trend of the disciple's convictions.
This hierarchy is also attempting to externalise itself in the form of
the group of World Workers, and when a man has found his soul and the principle
of unity is sufficiently revealed to him he shifts also into this more exoteric
group.
(A Treatise on White Magic, p. 529)
The energy of
the New Group of World Servers, which (up to ten years ago) was a relatively
negligible factor even though present, but which is now increasingly a force
with which to reckon. From certain
angles, the energy of this group constitutes the hope of the world, and the
task of increasing that potency is the task which is being laid before us
today.
(Esoteric Psychology, Vol. II, p. 722)
The power
which the New Group of World Servers will eventually yield, will be drawn from
two sources:—first, from that inner centre or subjective world government, whose
members are responsible for the spread of those ideals and ideas which have led
humanity onwards from age to age. This
inner centre has always existed and the great leaders of the race, in every
field, have been connected with it. The
great idealists and world workers, (such as the Christ and His great brother,
the Buddha, and those lesser workers, such as Plato, Spinoza, Abraham Lincoln,
or Florence Nightingale) have all been associated with this centre.
(Esoteric Psychology, Vol. II, pp. 663-664)
Influential
and potent forces pouring in at this time from the great stars Betelgeuse and
Sirius. To these two influences, the disciples
of the world in the senior ranks of the New Group of World Servers definitely
react, and they produce a stimulation of the heart centre (Betelgeuse) and the
head centre (Sirius).
(Esoteric Psychology, Vol. II, p. 721)
The emphasis
is laid upon the heart centre and upon the necessity to hold the forces there
(symbolised by the clasped hands resting upon the heart) because the heart is
the centre of loving, giving energy, and the distributor of life.
(Esoteric Psychology, Vol. II, p. 735)
The energy of
the united Hierarchy of the planet which has lately made one of its "Great
Approaches" to the physical plane.
This necessarily entails a more potent and significant and rapid pouring
forth of the force of the Hierarchy with the subsequent stimulation of the
higher centres in those sons of men who have reached the point of their
evolution where they are close enough to their own souls to be affected.
(Esoteric Psychology, Vol. II, p. 721)
learn to live
as a soul and, therefore, free from identification with the body nature. This brings out three things:
a. An ability
to withdraw into the head consciousness and from that high place to direct the
life of the personal self.
b. The power
to pass through the various centers in the body those universal forces and
energies which are needed for world work.
This has to be done consciously and in full awareness of the source from
which they come, of the mode of their activity and of the purpose for which
they must be used. This involves also
the understanding of which force is related to a center. This consequently involves the necessity to
develop the centers, to bring them into a state of potency and to harmonize
them into a unified rhythm.
c. The
capacity, therefore, to work at will through the medium of any particular
center. This is only possible when the
soul can dwell as the Ruler on the "throne between the eyebrows" and
when the Kundalini fire has been what is occultly called raised. This fire has to pass up through the spinal
column and burn its way through the web which separates center from center on
the "Golden Rod of Power."
(A Treatise on White Magic, p. 572)
When energy
from the Ego controls, or imposes its rhythm upon the various sheaths via their
respective major centres, when the triple fire is mounting in orderly fashion
via the triple channel, and when the three head centres are united in
triangular fashion, then we have illumination or the irradiance of the entire
personality life, darkness gives place to light, and the Sun of Knowledge
arises and dispels the darkness of ignorance.
The minor centres are concerned with the internal co-ordination of the
sheath, the major with the group co-ordination or the interrelation of one
sheath to another. The man becomes a
burning and a shining light, radiating forth a light which burns from within.
When the next
step is accomplished, and the energy of the Monad, focussed through the jewel,
makes itself felt also on the physical plane, passing through the triple egoic
lotus via the channels already utilised by the Ego, we have a man who is
"inspired," who is a spiritual creator, and who is himself "a
Sun of Healing Radiance."
(A Treatise on Cosmic Fire, p. 1130-1131)
The
"sphere of radiation" is a potent instrument in service, and its
extent and purity of contact should he cultivated by the pledged disciple.
There is true occult teaching in the statement in The New Testament that
"the shadow of Peter passing by healed." His aura was of such a
nature that it had a beneficent effect wherever and whenever it touched or
contacted those in his environment. The control of the Christ over His aura was
such that "He knew when virtue had gone out of Him"—He knew, therefore,
that healing energies had poured through one of His centres to a needy person
or group of persons. It is the aura, and its potency of attraction, and its stability,
which also holds a group together, which also keeps an audience listening, and
which makes an individual of importance along some definite line of approach to
his fellowmen. The "sphere of radiation" is easily determined by
those who seek it out and who watch the effect of the radiation upon people in
their community and environment. One highly emotional person, working through
an overdeveloped and uncontrolled solar plexus centre, can wreck a home or an
institution. I give this as an illustration. One radiant, creative life,
consciously using the heart or the throat centres, can carry inspiration to
hundreds. These are points well worth careful consideration. You must, however,
bear in mind that these centres are brought into activity by the cultivation of
certain major virtues, and not by meditation or concentration upon the centres.
They are brought automatically into the needed radiatory condition by right
living, high thinking and loving activity. These virtues may seem to you dull
and uninteresting, but they are most potent and scientifically effective in
bringing the centres into the desired radiatory activity. When the task is
done, and when all the centres are living spheres of outgoing, radiatory
activity, they swing into each others' orbit so that the initiate becomes a
centre of living light and not a composite of seven radiant centres. Think on
this.
(Τelepathy and
the Εtheric
Vehicle, p. 174)
The entire
human family is today an amazing receiver of impressions, owing to the myriad
types of susceptible mechanisms.... It is because of this that the human
kingdom (the great middle kingdom whose function it is to mediate between the
higher and the lower) is the subject of so much divine impression, conveying
the purpose of Sanat Kumara....
(Τelepathy and
the Εtheric
Vehicle, p. 86)
Finally, it
might be said that the entire human kingdom will eventually be a major magnetic
centre upon our planet, invoking all the higher kingdoms upon the formless
planes and evoking all the lower or subhuman kingdoms upon the planes of form.
Some day, two-thirds of the human family will be sensitive to impacts coming
from the Mind of God, as that Mind fulfils its intentions and carries out its
purposes within our planetary ring-pass-not. In its turn, humanity will provide
the area of mind within whose ring-pass-not the subhuman kingdoms will find the
correspondence of the Universal Mind which they need for their unfoldment; man,
as you well know, is the macrocosm for the microcosm of the lower kingdoms in
nature. This is the goal of all human service.

the Εtheric
Vehicle, p. 62)
