Adjustments and Alignments within the Hierarchy
What,
in the last analysis, is this Hierarchy? It is a great salvaging corps of
dedicated, liberated Units of Life, working in group formation with all forms
and lives in all kingdoms and with all souls particularly. As the Hierarchy so
works, its emphasis is solely on the consciousness aspect of all forms; its
present agency of salvage and of service is the mind, as it expresses itself
through the minds of all humanitarians, all aspirants, all disciples (of all
rays and degrees) and of all initiates; the Hierarchy also can express itself
through the medium of thought currents and ideas and through them impose its
hierarchical concepts upon the embryonic minds of the general and average
public; and it also directs the educational work of all nations, so that the
undeveloped masses can become—in due turn—the intelligent general public.
The
Hierarchy works, as you know, in or through three major departments, each
possessing its full Personnel, and under three Great Lords. I have dealt with
this in some detail in Initiation, Human and Solar, as well as elsewhere [Page 527] in my writings; more information at this
point is needless and of no real service to you.
The
Hierarchy works also through the seven major Ashrams and their affiliated
Ashrams, and these "seven which are the forty-nine" represent in
their totality the seven rays with their subrays, and are the custodians,
transmitters and distributors of the seven ray energies to the seven planetary
centres and—via these seven centres—to those in the fourth kingdom in nature (as
they gradually unfold over the aeons) and then, via these, to the seven centres
in individual man. Such is the synthesis.
The
seven major centres or Ashrams within the Hierarchy are each presided over by
Masters of Chohan rank; the seven subsidiary centres or Ashrams are presided
over by Masters and Adepts (of the fifth and fourth initiations), aided by
initiates of the third degree and certain picked and senior disciples. Several
of the seven affiliated Ashrams are, as yet, incomplete as regards personnel,
but vacancies are rapidly being filled as the spiritual effects of the world
war (1914-1945) make themselves felt. These effects are very real and have been
a source of great encouragement to hierarchical workers.
Before
the Hierarchy can emerge (as is the intention), the relation between a major
Ashram and its subsidiary Ashrams must be firmly established, whilst that
between a major Ashram and other major Ashrams has to be brought more
definitely and unquestionably closer to Shamballa, and under the influence of
that great first ray centre. The energy which will align and adjust the
subsidiary forty-nine Ashrams is that of the second Ray of Love-Wisdom. That,
however, which will bring about a similar adjusting and aligning impetus in the
seven major Ashrams is the energy of the first Ray of Will or Power. I have
here given you a most important item of occult information, but one which is of
no importance to you individually; it serves, however, to present proof of the
significant occult relation between the three planetary centres. Just as the
third planetary centre, Humanity, has now reached a point of intelligent
development [Page 528] so that a closer rapport
can be set up between it and the Hierarchy, so the Hierarchy also has moved
forward as a unit so that a closer corresponding rapport can also be set up
between It and Shamballa. Just as the rapport between the Hierarchy and
Humanity is established via aspirants, disciples and initiates in physical
existence who are responding to the love-wisdom of the universe in some measure
and who work via the intelligent people in incarnation primarily, so rapport
between Shamballa and the Hierarchy is being more closely established via the
senior Ashrams, and not via the secondary ones. You have, therefore, a
situation which might be depicted somewhat as follows:
I. First Planetary Centre Shamballa
working through
1. The seven Rays or the seven
Spirits before the Throne.
2. Certain great Intermediaries.
3. The Council Chamber of the Lord
of the World.
II.
Second Planetary Centre Hierarchy
working through
1. The seven major Chohans and Their
Ashrams.
2. The forty-nine Masters of the
secondary Ashrams.
3. The sum total of the secondary
Ashrams.
III.
Third Planetary Centre Humanity
working through
1. Disciples in manifestation—of the
seven ray types.
2. The New Group of World Servers.
3. The sum total of humanitarians,
educators and men of goodwill.
This
is but a rough picture and one which is not totally correct; it will, however,
show you certain direct lines of contact and of relationship which are true and
which will suffice to [Page 529] give you a
vague and general idea of the new alignment being set up between the three
major planetary centres, requiring new adjustments.
At
this particular time, the emphasis of the needed alignments and adjustments
with which the Hierarchy is faced is being placed upon activity within the
Hierarchy Itself. The secondary Ashrams are being stimulated; new ones are
being gradually formed, for there are not as yet forty-nine minor Ashrams;
vacancies in the major Ashrams are being filled as rapidly as possible from the
ranks of those working in minor Ashrams and the places of these latter are
being taken by accepted disciples who are being fitted for this work through
experience, difficulties and the tension of world service. All these changes
necessitate much adjustment. The interior work of hierarchical alignment is in
the charge of the Chohans of the Major Ashrams, whilst the task of
superintending the interior adjustments incident to new alignments and the
admission of new personnel is being watched over and directed by the forty-nine
Masters who are in charge of minor Ashrams—either Ashrams with what is regarded
as a full complement of workers, or Ashrams in process of attaining that full
complement, or embryonic Ashrams of which there are already quite a few.
One
of the results of this hierarchical alignment and adjustment will be the
establishment, for the first time, of a fluid interplay and movement between
the three planetary centres. Chohans are today passing out of the Hierarchy
into the Council Chamber of the Lord of the World, or on to one or other of the
Seven Paths; senior Masters in charge of Ashrams are taking higher grades of
initiation and taking the rank of Chohans; initiates above the third degree are
rapidly taking the fourth and fifth initiations and becoming Masters (taking
both initiations in one life), and their places are being taken by lesser
initiates; these, in their turn, have been training disciples to take their
places, until in this process of substitution and replacement we arrive at the
door which symbolically stands between humanity and the Hierarchy, and today
stands wide open, so that accepted [Page 530]
disciples are taking initiation, pledged disciples are being accepted, and
accepting disciples are taking their pledges.
Thus
a great and new movement is proceeding and a tremendously increased interplay
and interaction is taking place. This will go on until A.D. 2025. During the
years intervening between now and then very great changes will be seen taking
place, and at the great General Assembly of the Hierarchy—held as usual every
century—in 2025 the date in all probability will be set for the first stage of
the externalisation of the Hierarchy. The present cycle (from now until that
date) is called technically "The Stage of the Forerunner". It is
preparatory in nature, testing in its methods, and intended to be revelatory in
its techniques and results. You can see therefore that Chohans, Masters,
initiates, world disciples, disciples and aspirants affiliated with the
Hierarchy are all at this time passing through a cycle of great activity.
In
the adjustment necessitated by the rapidly advancing alignment, the Members of
the Hierarchy are fitting Themselves for the objective work of public
expression. This entails far more difficulty than you might imagine or
anticipate, because it entails the development of that form of "resistance
to the pull of the lower vibration" of which you can know nothing, for
that lower vibration is a necessary aspect of your normal expression—little as
you may like to realise this. You need to realise that there is nothing in the
Masters or higher initiates which can respond to any vibration of this nature.
Though They cannot absorb it or react to it or redevelop it again, it can cause
Them the acutest discomfort and pain; that is the reason why the Son of God was
called in The Old Testament a "man of sorrows and acquainted with
grief". This did not in reality refer to His sufferings for poor miserable
humanity (as orthodox theology so selfishly interprets it) but to the fact that
He had to submit Himself to contact with humanity. The Hierarchy is therefore,
along all lines (many of which I may not indicate or upon which I may not
enlarge), preparing Itself for the experience of physical manifestation; It is
also endeavouring to "create" the needed responsive apparatus which
will be of such a nature that [Page 531] Members
of the Hierarchy may function with the minimum of difficulty on earth and will
experience the least possible measure of handicap; They will thus be enabled to
give full time and attention to the work to be done by Them in physical manifestation.
They
are endeavouring also to establish a closer telepathic rapport and a more
intimate (though strictly impersonal) relationship with Their disciples on all
rays, so that there can be a free interplay of thought and a consequent better
hierarchical integrity and one which—no matter what may happen in the three
worlds—cannot be disrupted or in any way lessened.
Although
for Them no astral plane exists and glamour is entirely non-existent, They have
to learn to do a most peculiar thing: to work on the astral plane (because it
exists for humanity and for the animal kingdom), to traverse this region of
glamour and then to "demonstrate light in dissipating fog" in a
manner for which there has hitherto been no call. None of this information may
make much sense to you, but I am simply seeking to go on record for the sake of
those who will come after you. There is little more that I may give you anent
adjustment and alignment within the Hierarchy. It is rapidly proceeding, and
just in so far as disciples demonstrate upon the outer physical plane and in
the three worlds their affiliation with an Ashram will they share in this dual
process. Are you prepared for this?
