ESOTERIC PERSPECTIVE ON EPIDEMICS
from the Alice Bailey writings
A general
comment is made in the following passage on the relationship of epidemics to the condition
of the etheric substance of the planet:
“Group ills and the sweep of epidemics of any kind through
the masses are founded in some condition in the etheric substance of the
planet. Those diseases which are general, national, racial and planetary
find their way to an individual via his etheric body, but are not so personal
in their implications.” Esoteric Healing (EH), p. 25
The Spiritual
Hierarchy is able to play a role in controlling epidemics to some degree,
depending on a wide variety of factors such as the karma and free will of
humanity:
“There is…a secret…which relates to the seven rays as they express
themselves in the human kingdom; the knowledge of this secret enables a Master
to control epidemics and widespread diseases; with this you are not at this
time concerned. Incidentally, the relative freedom from the plagues and
epidemics which usually follow in the wake of war has been partly due to the
use of this sevenfold knowledge by the Hierarchy, plus the scientific knowledge
of humanity itself.” EH, p. 598
Although we cannot
know to what extent the Spiritual Hierarchy can control this current pandemic
it is some consolation to know that it collaborates with humanity as much as
spiritual law allows. Nevertheless, members of the Hierarchy are themselves
still learning about the secrets of nature’s processes including the secret
that is referred to in the above passage:
“…there are two hierarchical officials the Mahachohan and His
Representative upon the seventh ray—Who are today in possession of this secret
in its entirety, and They are aided by five other Masters in applying the
gained knowledge. These five Masters are working primarily with the deva
evolution, and this is, as you know, connected with form, and in this
particular case with the healing devas. These seven Members of the
Hierarchy are aided in Their turn by one of the Buddhas of Activity, and also by
the representative of the Spirit of the Earth. This again makes the two,
the five, and then the seven—a different enumeration, and one which when
brought together equals nine, which is the number of initiation. This
numerical relationship brings man to the point where he is ‘initiated into the
realm of perfection and knows no further aches or pains, and his mind is thus
deflected from that which is below to that which is above.’
I have mentioned this phase of mankind's relation to the subject of health so as to show you how subtle and esoteric are the matters with which we are dealing, and so give to the individual patient a sense of proportion, where his bodily ills or even his death are concerned.” EH, p. 598-9
