Let the souls of men awaken to the Light, And may they stand with massed intent. Let the fiat of the Lord go forth: The end of woe has come! Come forth, O Mighty One.
“This is no magic formula but a spiritual act. It is an act of complete trust on the part of children who, amid the tribulation of this cruel and senseless war that threatens our world, turn to their Mother, reposing all their fears and pain in her heart and abandoning themselves to her.”
The word magic is usually associated with deceptive tricks giving the impression that something is created from nothing. A magician is an entertainer, a master of illusion. It’s in that sense that Pope Francis, states: “This is no magic formula but a spiritual act.” The disciple of Master Jesus knows quite well the difference between spiritual facts and illusions.
But let’s not be confused by semantics. What Pope Francis accomplished on the Day of the Annunciation was a massiveplanetary spiritual act of white, or Soul, magic invoking the divine intervention of extraplanetary forces. The Soul, the Higher Self (God Immanent), is the true Magician.
The Holy Spirit represents the Third Aspect of Divinity whose traditional symbol is a white dove, as white as the mantle of Mother Mary in Fatima in 1917.
The collective Soul of Humanity was being channeled by Pope Francis to invoke, with massed intent, divine intervention from:
the Father, represented by the Avatar of Synthesis;
the Son, represented by the Prince of Peace as the Emissary of the Spirit of Peace; and
the Holy Spirit, represented by the Great Mother, the redeemed substance of spiritualized matter.
Around 1975, coinciding with the Impact of Shamballa, a mantra derived from the final sentence of the 1945Great Invocation was released from the Second Ray Ashram in which Vicente Beltrán-Anglada (1915-1988) was an accepted disciple in physical incarnation. The mantra invokes the Triangle of extra-planetary Entities over-lightening the Christ in His reappearance as part of the Hierarchical Plan.

May the liberating Light of Lord Buddha, The infinite Love of the Spirit of Peace, And the unfathomable Power of the Avatar of Synthesis Restore the Plan on Earth.
The relationship between the Lord Buddha, Hermes and the Deva Kingdom is well established in the Secret Doctrine.
“Mercury is called the first of the celestial Gods, the God Hermes … to which God is attributed the invention of and the first initiation of men into Magic… Mercury is Budh, Wisdom, Enlightenment or `reawakening’ in the divine science.” (I. 513.)
“Sirius was called the Dog Star.’ It was the star of Mercury, or Buddha, called the Great Instructor of mankind.'” (S.D. II. 391.)
“The sun, the moon and Mercury were the earliest trinity of the Egyptians (Osiris, Isis and Hermes).” (S.D. II. 640.)
The world was united in prayer as the consecration of Ukraine and Russia, led by Pope Francis, was streaming live from the Vatican to millions of people, with massed intent.
The WILL to save is here. The LOVE to carry forth the work is widely spread abroad. The ACTIVE AID of all who know the truth is also here.
Come forth, O Mighty One and blend these three. Construct a great defending wall. The rule of evil now must end.
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out. And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

The Annunciation
26 And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth, 27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29 Who having heard, was troubled at his saying, and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be. 30 And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God. 31 Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus. 32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father; and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever. 33 And of his kingdom there shall be no end.
34 And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man?
35 And the angel answering, said to her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. 36 And behold thy cousin Elizabeth, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her that is called barren: 37 Because no word shall be impossible with God.
38 And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

BRUSSELS — The White House has quietly assembled a team of national security officials to sketch out scenarios of how the United States and its allies should respond if President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia — frustrated by his lack of progress in Ukraine or determined to warn Western nations against intervening in the war — unleashes his stockpiles of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons.
The Tiger Team, as the group is known, is also examining responses if Mr. Putin reaches into NATO territory to attack convoys bringing weapons and aid to Ukraine… Russia may turn to the most powerful weapons in its arsenal to bail itself out of a military stalemate. NATO’s secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, underscored the urgency of the preparation effort on Wednesday, telling reporters for the first time that even if the Russians employ weapons of mass destruction only inside Ukraine, they may have “dire consequences” for people in NATO nations. He appeared to be discussing the fear that chemical or radioactive clouds could drift over the border. One issue under examination is whether such collateral damage would be considered an “attack” on NATO under its charter, which might require a joint military response.
The tiger spirit animal is synonymous with courage, personal strength, and willpower, giving the ability to deflect any anger or aggression.

Factual truths do exist. There are better approximations than others, but not every possible narrative is equally plausible. Imperfect approximations to the truth do carry more light than outright lies, no matter how many times repeated or disguised.
Contrary to Russian propaganda, NATO is not the cause of the Ukraine invasion by the Russian military. Any country can ask defensive security forces, such as NATO, for protection, particularly those nations that suffered abuse behind the iron curtain. Invoking the right of self-defense cannot be misconstrued as an act of aggression against the offending country.
STOP PUTIN,
and his unholy allegiance with Russian churchianity,

From the point of Light within the Mind of God Let light stream forth into the minds of men. Let Light descend on Earth.
From the point of Love within the Heart of God Let love stream forth into the hearts of men. May Christ* return to Earth.
From the centre where the Will of God is known Let purpose guide the little wills of men – The purpose which the Masters know and serve.

Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.

On Thursday, the pillars of Russia’s independent broadcast media collapsed under pressure from the state. Echo of Moscow, the freewheeling radio station founded by Soviet dissidents in 1990 and that symbolized Russia’s new freedoms, was “liquidated” by its board. TV Rain, the youthful independent television station that calls itself “the optimistic channel” said it would suspend operations indefinitely.
And Dmitri A. Muratov, the journalist who shared the Nobel Peace Prize last year, said that his newspaper Novaya Gazeta, which survived the murders of six of its journalists, could be on the verge of shutting down as well.
“Everything that’s not propaganda is being eliminated,” Mr. Muratov said.
The POWER of our united LIGHT PREVENTS the appearance, NEGATES the quality, and DESTROYS the vitality of the GLAMOR of Fake News and Lying Propaganda.
Vladimir Putin: A Disciple of Shamballa? NO!
The Hierarchy makes a distinction between the bewildered mass, the wrongly educated youth and the obsessed leaders in all branches of the government. The latter are “shells,” obsessed by evil entities and hence their dynamic, one-pointed potency, hence also their extreme skill and cunning, based on very ancient evil experience and hence also the well-nigh ludicrous falsity of their propaganda. They are the spirit of materialism embodied, devoid of all true feeling and perception, lacking the light of love and understanding, but powerfully animated by the energy of substance itself. It is time that men woke up to the nature of these beings who sought (under the present grouping of constellations) to enslave the race.
I would here remind you that we are considering work that the initiate must accomplish, and are not considering the usual effort of struggling aspirants to deal with and handle those forces which have worked through into physical expression.
Rays and Initiattions, p. 182
I have emphasised this point because our second phrase, “let the group widen all the rents within those veils,” has reference here to disciples and the groups which they have everywhere gathered around themselves. It is these groups, many in number and differing in ray potency, which will lead the world through the post-war period into the New Age. It is their pressure upon the physical plane which has precipitated the crisis between the great White Lodge and the Black Lodge. Their work is to let in the light, and where the light goes the Black Lodge must fade out and disappear. It feeds on glamour and illusion and uses the [Page 190] veils of maya as a protection. Students would do well to avoid naming and differentiating the four veils. The veils themselves are transient and variable. They differ as they come under the impact of the seven rays. It is not possible or practical to distinguish them one from the other, except from the angle of the Hierarchy, and their destruction today (though it was not so earlier) has to come from the dense physical plane, and the attack must be made by personalities and individualities dwelling in physical bodies. This is a somewhat new mode of approach, for hitherto only a very few disciples and initiates have been able so to work. Today, hundreds and thousands of disciples are working, and thus learning to use the ancient rules for work within the veils of maya.
Rays and Initiations, Rule X
Let me here give you some of these rules or formulas as they are to be found in The Masters’ Book of Rules and as I can translate them. Some are untranslatable:
Focus the force at the jewel’s point and find the veil that it can touch.
Carry the force from point to point and then project.
Look for the energy in form behind the veil attacked. A rent within the veil exists. Find it and see.
A path lies through the veils, giving access to the several courts. Walk on that path, wielding destruction and clearing out the refuse in the court. The court of the money changers is the last.
Meet the descending forces and find the current which is yours.
Watch for the evil stream of force which seeks to mend the rents. Project upon that stream the energy of which you know. It led you from the Ashram into the veils. Use it and drive the evil back unto the astral plane.
Work with the Sound and know it as the source of power. Use first the Voice; then use the O.M., and later use the Sound. All three together will suffice.
There are other rules, but these will give you the [Page 191] major recognitions needed to do this type of work; these are the rules which the adventuring disciple needs to know. They have been used, and should not be interpreted by the lower mind, but with the aid of the initiate consciousness. -Rule X, Rays and Initiations
Let the group widen all the rents within those veils and thus let in the light.
We come now to a definite group injunction or instruction. The aid of the group is invoked almost in the form of an order. The point of this formulated injunction is that in the new era and in the interlude between the past (wherein prominent disciples worked within the veils of maya) and the New Age (wherein humanity itself will consciously function upon the etheric plane), the work of the esoteric groups, under the direction of the New Group of World Servers, is needed. They will have the capacity to recognise the distinction between the various veils. This is the next needed development. The groups must focus the energy at the very centre of the group being; the group must carry the force from point to point and from veil to veil; the group must project the destroying energy and become unitedly aware of what each veil hides; the group must perform the activities (seven in all) of purification; the group must meet, accept and distribute the descending spiritual energy which will finally consummate the work done. The group—through the use of that descending current—will drive the forces of evil back on to the astral plane and will together work with the three aspects of the first ray. These are typified by the Voice, the O.M. and the Sound.
In the above you have in reality a great formula for group activity and also a potent method (once the group can unitedly work together) for the cleansing and the re-organisation of the forces active in the world today. These forces are now raging and running wild; their effect is almost tangible (being in etheric substance) and factually and visibly present under the control of the Black Lodge. This [Page 192] Lodge uses the voices of lying propaganda, the Word of death (which I shall not give to you for the O.M., the Word of Life, suffices), and the Sound of the densest aspect in manifestation—the sound of power in the mineral kingdom. This constitutes an unparalleled condition and creates a unique concentration of the Forces of Good and the forces of evil upon the etheric plane. The task of all groups which are working under the Masters of the Wisdom is to let in the light, utilising those rents which already exist within the Veils of maya.
Three major rents within these Veils might here be noted. They are symbolically referred to in The Bible, though their essential meaning has not been noted or comprehended.
The first major rent was made by the establishment of the Law of God, and this is portrayed for us symbolically in The Old Testament in the story of Moses. He went up into the Mount of God and there received the Ten Commandments. This is the expression of divine law as adapted for humanity and as needed in the projection of those forces which will destroy, purify and reorganise. Moses, the Lawgiver, penetrated to one of the halls within the Veils of maya, and there encountered the glory of the Lord. This was of such a radiance that, as the Old Commentary puts it:
“He who entered among the first to penetrate within the veils absorbed the light and knew not how to pass it on. Neither he nor they were ready, but the light was there and likewise the two directing eyes. But only one can use, project and send the light upon its mission. The other must be blinded, and of this fact the Lawgiver was aware. He therefore veiled the light, assuming towards this end a fragment of that which he had helped destroy, and so descended from the mountain top, back to the darkness of the earth.”
The second, and much the most important rent, was made by the power of the second aspect when the Christ subjected the Master Jesus to the fourth initiation and Their joint influence was triumphant over death. Then we read [Page 193] that the veil of the Temple was split in twain from the top to the bottom. The lawgiver assisted at the first rending as the climax to the third initiation, and there was a somewhat similar process of glorification. A similar event took place at the Transfiguration of the Christ, overshadowing or rather working through the Master Jesus. But at the triumph over death and through the Great Renunciation or Crucifixion episode, a great and major rending took place. The Law, when rightly kept and interpreted, defines man’s attitude upon the mental plane and serves to make a rent in the etheric veil, separating the etheric vehicle in its fourfold aspect from the dense physical form. The rending of the second veil at the time of the Crucifixion let in light on to the second level of the etheric plane, and a new type of illumination was spread abroad upon the earth. Law and Love could now penetrate into the consciousness of humanity in a new and direct manner, as the brain of man became involved through the substance of the etheric counterpart of the physical brain; the instinct to self-preservation (one of the lowest aspects of Law) and the tendency to sensitivity (feeling or emotion, one of the lowest forms of Love) could be expressed in a more comprehensive manner.
Another rending of the veil, and one of relatively minor importance, took place when Saul of Tarsus saw the glory of the Lord and was changed into Paul the Apostle. His forward moving and potent directness and sincerity, pushing along “the road to Damascus,” forced him to penetrate through one of the separating veils. The Kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence and the violent take it by force. This force, working in Saul, drove him through the veil which prevented vision, and the rent thereby made brought him a new revelation. He was, we are told, completely blinded for three days, and this the esoteric records corroborate. This is a well-known correspondence to the three days in the tomb and one recognised by esotericists; it corresponds also to the penetration into the third heaven to which Paul testified later in his life. He realised the nature of the Law, as his later epistles demonstrate; he was brought [Page 194] to the feet of the Initiator through the effect of love, and thus he availed himself of the two earlier rents in the veil. Whilst thus reaching out to the light, he wrote that epistle about which so much controversy has raged—The Epistle to the Hebrews. In it the results of the rending of the third veil provide the keynote and express the first and highest aspect, as the two earlier rents lead to the revelation of the third and second divine qualities. This first aspect is seen as synthesis, as the Communion of Saints, and as related to the Lord of the World, Melchizedek. Read that epistle in the light of these remarks, and note how a great initiate endeavoured to reveal some facts, inherent in the will or power aspect. These were, however, far beyond the ken of the disciples and aspirants of the time, but can today form a true part of the realisation of humanity.Law, Love, Union or Synthesis—all these great energies have seeped into the human consciousness and now provide the platform upon which the new civilisation can be founded, the new approach to God be taken, and new human relations be implemented.
Three great rents, therefore, now exist, as well as numerous smaller and less important ones, to which no reference has been or need be made. Three great Sons of God at the moment of initiation made a major contribution to the human consciousness through their determined will-to-law, will-to-love and will-to-synthesis. Mankind was thereby aided to move forward more easily along the “lighted Way,” to pass through the halls of maya, aided by the light pouring through the rents made in the separating veils by perfected divine Men at the very moment of Their triumph. A fourth great rent still remains to be made as a result of the energies released and the gained good which the three earlier rents have made possible. This fourth major rent will be made by humanity itself, standing with “massed intent,” focussed through the groups which are externalisations of the Ashrams of the Masters. It will therefore be made at the time that the Hierarchy takes physical shape upon the earth again. [Page 195]
Bear in mind the symbolical nature of this teaching. The veils are not actually existing veils in the usual sense of that term. They are in the nature of opposing forces and energies which act as inhibitory factors to the aspirant as he seeks to make progress, and to the entire human family as it moves onward upon the Path of Evolution. They are not basically related to consciousness at all, for in the majority of cases these veils “lie on the earthward side of being and not upon the side of light”; they are essentially physical forces, and although they are the result of man’s own effort and activity down the ages, they are largely unrealised, unseen obstacles to his progress. They constitute the lowest concentration of forces precipitated from levels of activity other and higher than the physical, as you understand physical substance. If one might use a phrase which, even if true, is misleading, they lie between the subtle inner man, mental and astral, and his physical brain. They are that which prevents brain registration of the world of causes and of meaning. This inner world can be emotional or mental in its focus and in its force precipitation on to the etheric plane. It can be the fused result of personality integration and be a combination of energies; or it can be dominated by the effects of soul energy. These, if evoked, can penetrate occultly and drive out or break down and through the separating veiling forces, thus producing coordination eventually between soul and brain.
These veils are as curtains over the windows of vision. They prevent realisation of that which lies beyond the room or area of average or mediocre experience, and they prevent the light from penetrating.
The work of the three Sons of God referred to above is not concerned with the rending of the veils of their own interior life and forces, thus bringing about soul contact unimpeded and dear, or with the illumination of experience upon the physical plane. That had long ago been effected in these special and individual cases. Their service was rendered to humanity and They made rents in the veils which separated mankind as a whole from the higher spiritual [Page 196] experience and from registration of the fact of the existence of the Hierarchy. Theirs was a universal service, and made possible further human progress, for until some greater measure of light had been let in it was not possible for man to see and grasp the necessity to destroy the obstacles to light. The veils remain unperceived by the average aspirant until some light appears through the rents in the “curtain of impediment.”
The glory of the Christ and the uniqueness of His accomplishment lies in the fact that He was the first to bring about the rending of the veils from “the top to the bottom.” This He could do because He acted as the World Saviour, outside and independent of humanity. -Rule 10, Rays and Initiations
There is little more that I can tell you anent this Rule. The subject is, as you can see, too advanced even for the initiate who, in a few decades, will read and study these instructions. That your vision may expand, and your power to think and reflect abstractly may grow, is my hope and wish for you.
Rays and Initiations, Rule X
Let the Army of the Voice be no more heard, and let the brothers onward move within the Sound.
Putting the idea into esoteric terms, the above sentence could be paraphrased as follows: The voices and the Voice fade out. The A.U.M. is replaced by the O.M. and at the centre of that O.M. the brother stands.
The many voices of the world, the flesh and the devil are no longer distinguished; there is nothing within the consciousness of the initiate which can respond to them. The Voice of the Silence dies out also and the Word itself [Page 201] cannot be heard. Only the SOUND remains. This is the Sound which reverberates in the formless worlds; it is the Sound to which the Spiritual Triad responds and of which the initiate is a part, because the Sound which he makes as he proceeds upon his creative way is a part of the universal Sound. It should be pointed out that He Who stands at the very centre of the Council Chamber of Shamballa sounds forth all words, the Word, and He also utters the SOUND. This is apt to be forgotten. He it is Who intones the A.U.M. and all things come to be; He it is Who voices the Word, the O.M., and God incarnate in humanity appears on earth: He it is Who utters the SOUND, and upon that outgoing Breath holds all things in life; and—in the rise and fall of its cadences—there is found the cyclic rhythm of the creative process. He it will be Who will withdraw the Sound and centering the vibration within Himself, will some day bring to a close this periodic manifestation and carry the Sound to other localities in space, holding it in quiescence on the withdrawn breath until a later cycle of expression dawns. Then it will again be exhaled and sent forth to provide a new field of experience for the Lives which, in cyclic rhythm, again seek to manifest. The entire story of incarnation is hidden in the understanding of the SOUND and its differentiation into the O.M. and the A.U.M.
When we can identify the Sound and are no longer “moved” by the O.M., then the initiate becomes a Christ in expression and makes His appearance, either in physical form or upon the planes of what to us might be called the “areas of non-appearance.” He can then contain and utilise the energies of which the Spiritual Triad is the custodian and which are the expression of the will and purpose of God. Though the initiate may not be a part of the planetary government, and though he may not be a member of the Council at Shamballa (for only a limited number of initiates are so placed), he nevertheless has the right to move on identical levels and to prepare himself for those higher evolutionary processes which will give him entrance to the cosmic astral plane. This will enable him to “see through” [Page 202] and to recognise “cosmic glamour,” and will give him the hidden key to the world of feeling and of sentiency of which our feeling-response and our emotional and intuitional sensitivity are but the dim and distorted reflections. This is a factor of some importance to have in mind if a right sense of proportion is to be developed. The initiate has learnt on earth that the astral plane is in fact non-existent—at least for those of the higher degrees of initiation. This knowledge constitutes the first step towards the comprehension of the secret of negation, towards a true understanding of the basis of the ever-existent pairs of opposites, and towards the knowledge which lies behind the significance of negation. The above sentence is in all probability of little meaning to you, but it nevertheless contains a truth for which the trials, experiences and initiations of planetary existence prepare the initiate. They endow him with those qualities which will enable him to contact cosmic evil and yet remain untouched, eventually to play his part in bringing the Black Lodge and its Brotherhood to an unholy finish. The roots of the Black Lodge are on the cosmic astral plane, as the roots of the White Lodge and its Brotherhood are on the cosmic mental plane; this is, in reality, only for the time being and in order to see certain organised activities upon the star Sirius perfected and carried to a consummation. This has oft been hinted in my writings.
Text and Commentary on the 14 Rules for Disciples and Initiates by MDR
How Rule X is applied to a current problem of humanity menacing world peace: the military invasion of Ukraine by a totalitarian power
[21 Dec 2021] Vladimir Putin has said he will consider a military response if Russia feels threatened by NATO. The Russian president has railed against NATO enlargement since the fall of the Soviet Union and accused the west of turning Ukraine against Russia. “If our western counterparts continue a clearly aggressive line, we will undertake proportionate military-technical countermeasures and will respond firmly to unfriendly steps,” Putin said in televised remarks. “I’d like to stress that we are fully entitled to do that.” Putin repeated demands that the west make legal guarantees to ensure Russia’s security, but said he would have difficulty trusting the US to abide by a treaty. Putin railed at NATO’s expansion and accused western powers of supporting terrorists and separatists in Chechnya, where Moscow fought a brutal series of wars in the 1990s and 2000s.
The speech points to a broad reassessment of Russia’s post-Soviet history, in which Putin views Washington and its allies as taking advantage of the country’s weakness.
[New Group of World Servers] Russia has every right in the world to be the hub of a Soviet bloc of democratic nations with economic and cultural ties. That is a truth as clear as water. What Putin does not have the right to do is to impose his imperial rule with totalitarian methods. Totalitarianism is the enemy; It is not the Russian people.
If an ex-partner from a toxic and abusive relationship (Iron Curtain) requests from security forces (NATO) a protection order, that is not an act of threat or aggression against the rapist. It is a right protected by the internationally recognized Four Freedoms: freedom of expression, religious freedom, freedom to live without hardship and freedom to live without fear.
Russia has a great future in the world community of nations. Russia can create a commonwealth of freely associated democratic nations. That democracy is imperfect, and that the democracy of wild capitalism is the worst of democracies, it is true. But a democracy is always better than a dictatorship for the spiritual progress of humanity.
Russia has to renounce its totalitarian methods in order to achieve its integration as a Soviet Union of free nations. The totalitarianism of the unique thought is the enemy of humanity. That is the root of the conflict. A totalitarian superpower, with nuclear armaments, is a menace to world peace.
Q: How is Putin’s current stance now different from Kennedy’s in 1962 (Cuban Missile Crisis) after his failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961?
A: Again, the evil is totalitarianism and the existence of totalitarian countries in a region is a threat to international peace.. The NGWS takes an unequivocal stance against the evil of totalitarianism.
A more fitting contrast would be the military invasion of Puerto Rico in the aftermath of the Spanish-American War (1898). However, the United Nations had not been created by then. Since 1945, the UN Charter prohibits imperialistic aggression from any country. Russia has violated the UN Charter.
A more relevant question might be why have the world democracies, represented by the UN General Assembly, unanimously condemned Putin’s military invasion of Ukraine — and his genocidal agenda — but have not condemned similar genocidal attacks by a Zionist terrorist state on civilians in Palestine. The abuse by the USA of the veto power in the UN Security Council, covering for Israel’s crimes of war, have lessened the prestige of the UN and its moral authority to mediate in the current Ukraine conflict. ###
The VORTEX and The Technique of Light
Hans Zimmer’s Chevaliers de Sangreal (Da Vinci Code movie music track) played as we invoke Christ’s Presence among us, is a progression of ascending and descending musical chords creating a VORTEX renting the etheric veils … a spiral (Holy Grail) for the descent of the Christ Consciousness, “brought to light” (“dando a luz”) through the Chalice (a Triangle) of the Cosmic Mother.

The Technique of Light
H.B.H.
By means of this technique, the illumined mind assumes control over the astral or emotional body and dissipates glamour. When light pours in, glamour fades out. Illumination dominates and the vision [Page 172] of reality can be seen. This technique is related to Raja Yoga and its goal is the second initiation; it produces ability to tread the Path of Discipleship, and enables the man to “live a life, enlightened by divinity.” Illumination is the applied power of transformation.
Glamour, a World Problem
In connection, therefore, with this second technique, I would like to take some words out of the Bible, substituting the word “light” for the word “faith.” I give you this definition: Light is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. This is perhaps one of the most occult definitions of the light of the world that has yet been given and its true meaning is intended to be revealed in the next two generations. The word “faith” is a good [Page 194] instance of the method of rendering “blind” some of the ancient truths so that their significance may not be prematurely revealed. Light and substance are synonymous terms. Soul and light are equally so, and in this equality of idea—light, substance, soul—you have the key to fusion and to the at-one-ment which Christ expressed so fully for us in His life on Earth.

The rules for the Technique of Light have been adequately laid down in the Raja Yoga system of Patanjali, of which the five stages of Concentration, Meditation, Contemplation, Illumination, and Inspiration are illustrative; these, in their turn, must be parallelled by a following of the Five Rules and the Five Commandments. I would ask you to study these. They, in their turn, produce the many results in psychic sensitivity, of which hierarchical contact, illumination, service and discipline are descriptive and, finally, the [Page 196] stage of “isolated unity,” which is the paradoxical term used by Patanjali to describe the inner life of the initiate.

FORMULA FOR THE DISSIPATION OF WORLD GLAMOUR
(Technique for a Group)
The Preparatory Stages.
The naming of the group members, followed by ten minutes silence.
The Protective Formula: The group members say in unison:
[Page 238] “As a soul I work in light and darkness cannot touch me. I take my stand within the light. I work and from that point I never move.”
As these words are uttered, each group member makes the sign of the Cross of Divinity.
The three preparatory stages:
a. Focussing the dual light of matter and mind.
b. Meditation on soul contact and recognition of soul light.
c. The fusion of the two lesser lights with soul light.
On a signal from the leader, the group says together:
“The light is one and in that light shall we see light. This is the light that turns the darkness into day.”
O M. O M. O M.
The Formula.
Then together the group says:
“Radiance are we and power. We stand forever with our hands stretched out, linking the heavens and the earth, the inner world of meaning and the subtle world of glamour.
We reach into the light and bring it down to meet the need. We reach into the silent Place and bring from thence the gift of understanding. Thus with the light we work and turn the darkness into day.”
[Page 239] As these words are said, the group members visualise the great searchlight they have created turning its light upon the astral plane.
A pause follows and then comes the invocation of the spiritual will. When this has been done the group says:
“With power upon its beam, the light is focused on the goal.”
The glamour to be dissipated is named and the light is thrown upon it. The Words of Power are uttered :
“The power of our united light prevents the appearance of the glamour of [Fake News Propaganda].
The power of our united light negates the quality of the glamour from affecting man.
The power of our united light destroys the life behind the glamour.”
Visualisation of the light, penetrating into the glamour and producing its weakening and dissipation.
Five minutes of silence and intensity of purpose whilst the work is seen proceeding. Then the group members refocus themselves upon the mental plane, turning their attention away from the astral plane. The searchlight of the soul is shut off.
Five minutes of silence and intensity of purpose whilst the work is seen proceeding.
The sounding of the OM individually and aloud by each member.
Brief Form of the Group Formula.
The Act of Naming.
The Act of Protection.
The Act of Focussing the Lights.
The Act of Direction.[Page 240]
The Act of Invoking the Will.
The Act of Projection and Affirmation.
The Act of Penetration.
The Act of Withdrawal.
The TRIANGLE
May the liberating Light of Lord Buddha, The infinite Love of the Spirit of Peace, And the unfathomable Power of the Avatar of Synthesis Restore the Plan on Earth.
Que la Luz liberadora de Buda, el Amor infinito del Espíritu de la Paz y el Poder indescriptible del Avatar de Síntesis restablezcan el Plan [de Dios] en la Tierra.
The nameless One Being becomes the Polar Two, Father and Mother in heavenly marriage. Their reflection is the Conscious Three, the Son, the Sun.
On the Path of Return, triplicities are fused into dualities, and dualities are identified as unity. Thesis, antithesis, synthesis.
Relative dualities of goodness are fused by harmonizing them, the Fourth Way. The love of humanity overrides the love for peace. [see AAB quote, below]
Between Good and Evil there is no middle ground. It’s an essential duality, not a triplicity with neutrality as a vertex. Good must overcome Evil. Evil is that good which we should have left behind.
Between War and Peace by Alice A. Bailey
“Clear thinking is an essential requirement for all good citizens and all spiritually minded people; we are forced by circumstances to make up our minds, to know where we stand and to realise that a neutral position, held by an individual or a group, is no longer tenable, no longer right and of no service to the United Nations and, therefore, to humanity.” p. 13
“Today there are no more than two parties in the world those on the side of right human relations and those on the side of cruel and selfish power politics. Two opposing world visions confront mankind, and two possible world orders are presented to humanity. Between these two, man must choose and his choice will determine the future.” p. 14
“United Nations are fighting against the would-be conquerors and enslavers of the human race. We know what is at stake. By the barbarian invaders of today nothing is spared -neither life, nor morals, nor honor, nor virtue, nor pledges, nor the customs, the national institutions, even the religion of any people. Their aim is to sweep away every vestige of individual and national rights; to substitute, the world over, their unspeakable tyranny for the ways of life developed each for itself by the various nations; to make all mankind subservient to their brutal will; to convert the two billions of the earth’s inhabitants into abject victims and tolls of their ruthless and insatiable lust for power and world dominion.” – p. 16
The spiritual values must be restored.Everything is spiritual which tends towards understanding, towards kindness, towards that which is productive of beauty and of those things which lead man on to a fuller expression of his divine potentialities.
All is evil which drives man deeper into materialism, which omits the higher values of life and human culture, which endorses selfishness, which sets up barriers to right human relations and which feeds the spirit of separateness, of fear, hate and revenge. [p.20]
“Unless we know something of these contrasting idealisms and world incentives, unless we have some understanding of the necessity (the definitely spiritual necessity) to fight, and unless we see clearly the vital urgency of the present moment, we shall not express that flaming spiritual will which alone can win this war and which is the sole agent which can free humanity from the terror of the totalitarian programme. In the last world war (which was in reality, as we now see, the first half of this present war and an unfinished cycle), we fought under the slogan of “make the world safe for democracy.” Today we are fighting to “make the world safe for humanity”; we are fighting for the freedom of the human spirit and for the future of the children of every country, for a future of hope and promise -which will be non-existent if Germany triumphs- because it is a future in which the spiritual values will be emphasised.” p. 38
“However, two groups of people are proving themselves bewildered, muddle-minded and futile -futile because they are unable to think constructively. There are the people of Germany who, though many may fundamentally disagree with Hitler and hate the Nazi, regime, are apparently unable to change their aquiescence in evil doing, because of fear, terror and the constant, insidious presence of the Gestapo. Secondly, the pacifists and the appeasers.
These latter are so blinded by their sincere idealism or by their fear of the consequences of war that they are willing to permit the victory of Hitler rather than take the needed steps to arrest his progress.” p. 41-42
“The two points of view and the two widely divergent goals have been clearly visualised by Hitler and his partners, but the democratic nations (as Hitler foresaw and said) have not seen so clearly, and blindness, complacency, compromise and appeasement have characterised their attitude for a long time till ruthless happenings caused them to awaken. When those who are on the side of the Forces of Light and of non-aggression see their goal with an equal clarity of purpose as do the forces of evil, and are equally united and equally determined to free humanity from the threatened terror, then there will be such a manifestation of power that disaster will rapidly overcome the aggressor nations. This unification is rapidly taking place.
“When it has reached its highest point of unity, the force generated and the power let loose upon our planet will be of so stupendous a nature that human liberation will be about rapidly brought about.” p. 42
“Peace is essentially an effect and not a cause. Goodwill is the active principle of peace, and the right order of our activity should have been goodwill, leading to right human relations, resulting in peace. Peace is not to be achieved by a sweet negativity or by enrolling people on long mailing lists who signify that they love peace.”, p. 47
“Peace is not the highest goal and objective of the human spirit. Love of humanity is a much higher one. Love of peace is frequently an emotional reaction and can be based upon fear of war, fear of death, fear of disturbing the rhythm of life; it is often based upon love of the individual and not on love of humanity; or upon love of the form nature, selfishness and self-interest.“, p. 47
“I am deliberately bringing this issue to your attention because there are people who -in the face of the proven facts- still cling to their ideal of pacifism and who are only awaiting the psychological moment again to become active. They forget that an ideal can become an idol and that there are primary and secondary principles. Peace is a secondary principle to that of right human relations. Love of humanity is a primary principle. Both principles are right, but love is of more importance. The problem of the right-minded and spiritually minded man is often the difficult one of a choice between two rights.”, p. 48
Between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries (subjectively since 1386 but objectively between 1569–1795) there was a Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (which included most of Poland, almost all of Ukraine except for the part that contacts the sea, all of Belarus, a small part of Russia, all of Latvia and a part of Estonia, and small portions of Slovakia and Romania..
This is a very ancient Judaic kingdom (quasi-mythical, but it is known that it existed) the kingdom/empire of Jazhar whose capital was Kiev. This kingdom, later a confederation, existed long before present-day Russia was configured. Then Moscow was merely a village, while Kiev was the capital of an ancient kingdom that laid the foundations of a Commonwealth of Nations.
This center of pan-European roots is recognized in the Judaic world as “the heartland” of Jazidism (European mystical Judaism). Today, although nations have been shaped in different ways, Ukraine may be considered a truly Aquarian nation, with its multiple religious creeds and mutual understanding (not just tolerance), unlimited cooperation among different creeds and ethnicities configured as one Soul, with deep historical and karmic ties with Poland.
A third of the Ukrainian population is ancestrally Polish. We could say that most of the Ukrainian population is atavistically Jazharic, ancestrally descended from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, located right in the center of a pan-European heart.
Therefore, although the modern explanation is that Poland’s past of being invaded by Germany is what fosters its solidarity with the Ukrainian people, the ties are much older and deeper. Hierarchical experiments are long-standing and take centuries, if not millennia, to bear fruit.

A Prayer For Ukraine – The Amabile Choirs of London Canada
I call you to a period of clear thinking. I seek not to mould your political approach to life, but I do seek to aid you to see humanity and its welfare—not only in terms of your own nation or your own political group—but in terms of the whole, and as we, the teachers on the inner side, are forced to see it. I seek to see you free yourselves from the condition where you are swayed by propaganda of a political, national or religious kind, and deciding for yourself where you, as a soul, must stand in this world crisis and on which side you will place the emphasis of any influence you may wield; I would have you note where your highest ideals [Page 229] will lead you and whether the springs of your life’s decisions and attitudes are truly pure and unadulterated.
I seek to draw your attention away from the many minor issues, the many clamouring voices, and from the widespread concentration upon the unworthy pasts and the undesirable aspects of all nations (without exception), and help you to see with clarity the major dualism which underlies the present world conflict—might against right, materialism against the higher values, freedom against imprisonment, cruelty against fair dealing, liberty and safety against fear and aggression. Then, having balanced these pairs of opposites within your consciousness, decide where your loyalty, your interest and your ability to serve will be placed, and then go forward to further the ends of one or other of the two groups, at no matter what cost, but knowing where you stand and why you stand there.
The Externalisation of the Hierarchy by Alice. A. Bailey
I would ask you—as far as you possibly can—to insulate yourself from fear and from the effect of the world situation and its allied problems. I would ask you to carry forward this insulation along the line of love, using the ancient method which has been called “the wheel of living fire which burns not but ever heals.” This method is occult and safe and constitutes no barrier to relationships as does the building of a separative wall. The method is as follows:
See before you a wheel of fire with seven spokes. See it immediately before your eyes. Then, by an act of the creative imagination, see yourself standing in the centre at the hub of the wheel; there regard yourself as if you were that hub. From that central position, send out the seven streams of living love, radiating upon the world. When you do this you serve and are, at the same time, completely protected. This exercise can be come instantaneous and effective. It generates a protective force and at the same time makes you a living centre of light and love.
Spain, Francisco Brualla and Vicente Beltrán-Anglada
Q: How do you see the juxtaposition of Russia’s 7th ray soul and 6th ray personality (idealism in spades) with Spain’s 6th ray soul and 7th ray personality? How is that interplay of major forces playing out to advance the Plan?
A: Spain has a sixth ray ego and a seventh ray personality — thus reversing the forces which are expressing themselves [Page 62] through the Russian spirit. Spain, too, acts as a link in world adjustment but this time the link is between Europe and Africa, and in this capacity Spain has earlier served. It will be apparent to you also how inevitable has been the relationship between Spain and Russia and how the ideology of the latter country has influenced the national government. It will also be apparent why the battleground of the two great ideologies — the Fascist and the Communistic — has been found inevitably in Spain. The triumph of the Fascist part has been equally inevitable from the start because of the egoic relation existing between Spain and Italy and also to the proximity of the two countries which has enabled the telepathic impress of Fascist idealism to be easily impressed upon the prepared and sensitive Spanish consciousness. As to the fanaticism, the natural cruelty, the fervent idealism, the arrogant pride and the religious and mystical quality of the Spanish character, they are obviously of sixth ray origin and are highly crystallised. The intense individualism of the people can be noted also as a definite part of their seventh ray personality equipment. Their spiritual motto: “I disperse the clouds,” is indicative of the magical work for which Spain will eventually be responsible and sooner than is perhaps anticipated, thus balancing in that highly intelligent and individualistic country the field of scientific magic and the magical work of the Church of the future. This is a prophecy which lies at present too far ahead to be capable of verification, either in this generation or the next, but it is rooted in national characteristics and the law of probability. -Destiny of Nations
Q: How can we best support the finer aspects of the 7th ray influx into that crystallized 6th ray personality?
A: Among Master DK’s disciples was Francisco Brualla in the Seed Group of Political Servers. Originally from Spain, he exiled to Argentina during/after the Spanish Civil War (Franco’s dictatorship lasted until 1975), establishing in Buenos Aires the Latin America HQ of the Alice Bailey service activities (Fundacion Lucis).
In one of the letter to F. Brualla, DK tells him (September 1943):
“The work of salvaging Europe, spiritually and psychologically, which is our main preoccupation, must go on. It [Page 499] must be entirely divorced from politics and partisanships, and I am asking all of you who are my pledged workers to move forward in this spiritual undertaking. Your link with the Master R. should help you much in taking adequate action in cooperation with A.A.B. and F.B. The triangle of force thus formed is strengthened by its link with my Brother, R. Where Spain is concerned, the picture is as follows: Master R., Master D.K., A.A.B. [Alice A. Bailey], F.B [Foster Bailey], I.A.P (Francisco Brualla). You will note here the direct line of spiritual force descending from the Master R., via D.K. to yourself, with F.B. and A.A.B. standing by as protecting agents on either side. They aid and sponsor all your efforts.”
Discipleship in the New Age, Vol. II
Right after 1975, Vicente Beltrán- Anglada (VBA, 1915-1988), an accepted disciple in another Second Ray Ashram, continued the Hierarchical work in Spain and South America. VBA’s discipleship service, aligning with Master R.’s Seventh Ray,
Master R.
promoted a Threefold Hierarchical Project sponsored by his Master’s Ashram. The third goal of this Project is called Organized Planetary Magic.
Thus, the importance of the R7 magical work — and Spain’s particular role “dispersing the clouds” and in “the field of scientific magic” — in the world today (specifically counteracting Russia’s misguided use of R7 energies in Russia and in the current war). We are conscious participants in this Organized Planetary Magic bringing Peace on Earth. -JB
There is a Seed Group of Trained Observers in Latin America (Grupo Iberoamericano de Observadores Entrenados – GIOE) actively engaged in subjectively (from the inner spiritual planes) neutralizing the Russian propaganda (glamour) being broadcast from https://www.telesurenglish.net (Venezuela) and https://en.granma.cu/ (Cuba), originating from https://twitter.com/rt_com (Russia state-affiliated media).
The POWER of our united LIGHT PREVENTS, NEGATES and DESTROYS the glamour of misinformation.
Russia should have never been admitted to the UN. Period. The #UNCharter should repudiate all totalitarian states. It's absurd to have @RussiaUN presiding the UN SC. The General Assembly should censure Russia for its military aggression against #Ukraine. https://t.co/0OkHY9yXXD
May the liberating Light of Lord Buddha, The infinite Love of the Spirit of Peace, And the unfathomable Power of the Avatar of Synthesis Restore the Plan on Earth.
Que la Luz liberadora de Buda, el Amor infinito del Espíritu de la Paz y el Poder indescriptible del Avatar de Síntesis restablezcan el Plan [de Dios] en la Tierra.
EH 187: The way of living and the spiritual objects of the democracies are recognised by all, and it is these which are threatened by the totalitarian concepts of life. Through the democracies humanity speaks.
The secret of the will lies in the recognition of the divine nature of man. Only this can evoke the true expression of the will. It has in fact to be evoked by the soul, as it dominates the human mind and controls the [Page 343] personality. The secret of the will is also closely tied in with the recognition of the unconquerable nature of goodness and the inevitability of the ultimate triumph of good. … There is [that] which will swing the tide of victory on to the side of the United Nations. This will come through the effort to understand and express the quality of spiritual Will; it will be the manifestation of that energy which makes the first divine aspect of Will or Power what it is; it is that which is the distinctive feature of the Shamballa force; it is that peculiar and distinctive quality of divinity which is so different that even Christ Himself was unable to express it with facility and understanding. Hence we have the episode in Gethsemane.
It is not easy for me to express its significance in words. Two thousand years have gone since Gethsemane and since Christ made His initial contact with the Shamballa force, and by this means and on behalf of humanity established a relationship which even after two thousand years is but a thin, frail line of connecting energy. This Will force is nevertheless available for right usage, but the power to express it lies in its understanding (as far as may be possible at this midway point in human evolution), and in its group use. It is a unifying, synthetic force, but can be used as a regimenting, standardising force. May [Page 344] I repeat those two key words to the use of this Shamballa energy: Group Use and Understanding.”
DINA II, 237: The New Group of World Servers will talk in other terms and their emphasis will be upon:
The Law of Right Human Relations.
The Principle of Goodwill.
The Law of Group Endeavour.
The Principle of Unanimity.
The Law of Spiritual Approach.
The Principle of Essential Divinity.
Ext Hier 640: The United Nations is still the hope of the world and can remain so; it is a great field of experimentation, but is suffering today from an initial error. That error was the admitting of a totalitarian Power into its nations. For seven long and terrible years the Forces of Light had been fighting totalitarianism. In the early days of the post-war period the Nations compromised with principles and admitted Russia to the United Nations. Had they proceeded to unite all the other nations of the world on the sure ground of economic reform, of needed national reorganisation and of regional groups (a better term than “blocs”), Russia would have been forced to conform, for her very existence would have been at stake. An initial error can lead to much trouble, and it is this type of trouble which the United Nations today faces.
Owing to the stupendous task confronting Christ, the Avatar of Synthesis will fortify Him, and He will be buttressed by this “Silent Avatar” Who (to speak symbolically) will “keep His eye upon Him, His hand beneath Him and His heart in unison with His.”
This Being is closely related to the Will Aspect of divinity, and His cooperation has been made possible through Christ’s Own attainment along the line of the highest, spiritual will. He works under the great natural Law of Synthesis, producing at-one-ment, unification and fusion. His function (in unison with the energy of Christ) is to generate spiritual will in humanity, the will-to-good; His potency works in three fields of activity at this time:
a. Within the spiritual Hierarchy itself, revealing the nature of the divine will-to-good which the Kingdom of God must express, and the nature also of divine Purpose.
b. Within the Assembly of the United Nations, though not within the Security Council; He is there generating a slowly growing will-to-unity.
c. Within the masses of men everywhere, fostering the urge to a general betterment.

[JB: In regard to the three stanzas of the Great Invocation (First-1935, Second-1940 and Third-1945), a close study of the shift in the spiritual Hierarchical stance toward World War II is warranted.
The 1935 stanza was intended to prevent the war. Once Poland was invaded in September 1939, the Hierarchy announced a new emphasis, as expressed in the November 1939 communication of Master DK which appears in The Externalisation of the Hierarchy (pp. 171-74). A transitional alternative Invocation was suggested then (“O Lord of Light and Love, come forth and rule the world…”).
By 1940, “the dynamic use of another Stanza of the Great Invocation” (Second Stanza) was indicated by the Hierarchy. The Master explicitly stated: “That which you have hitherto used has now served its immediate purpose, though it can again be called into use after the war is over.” (Ibid, 248)
After the War was over, the Third Stanza of the Great Invocation was revealed in 1945, which seems to be an expanded expression of the 1939 transitional invocation.
PS: “Let reality govern my every thought, and truth be the master of my life” is a mantra unrelated to the Great Invocation, given by the Master in A Treatise on White Magic, and indicated “when swept by illusory fears and needless foreboding.” (pp. 239-40). -JB]
[JB: Around 1975, coinciding with the Impact of Shamballa, a mantra derived from the final sentence of the 1945 Great Invocation was released from the Second Ray Ashram in which Vicente Beltrán-Anglada (1915-1988) is an accepted disciple. The mantra invokes the Triangle of extra-planetary Entities over-lightening the Christ in His reappearance. -JB]
Aquarian Mantra of Synthesis
May the liberating Light of Lord Buddha, The infinite Love of the Spirit of Peace, And the unfathomable Power of the Avatar of Synthesis Restore the Plan on Earth.
Great Invocation 1940
Que surjan los Señores de la Liberación. Que traigan ayuda a los Hijos de los Hombres. Que aparezca el Jinete del Lugar secreto, y con Su venida, salve. Ven, oh Todopoderoso.
Let the Lords of Liberation issue forth. Let Them bring succour to the sons of men. Let the Rider from the Secret Place come forth, And coming, save. Come forth, O Mighty One.
Que las almas de los hombres despierten a la Luz. Que permanezcan con intención masiva. Que el Señor pronuncie el fíat: ¡Ha llegado a su fin el dolor! Ven, oh Todopoderoso.
Let the souls of men awaken to the Light, And may they stand with massed intent. Let the fiat of the Lord go forth: The end of woe has come! Come forth, O Mighty One.
Ha llegado, para la Fuerza Salvadora, la hora de servir. Que se difunda por el mundo, oh Todopoderoso. Que la Luz, el Amor, el Poder y la Muerte, Cumplan el propósito de Aquel Que Viene.
The hour of service of the Saving Force has now arrived. Let it be spread abroad, O Mighty One. Let Light and Love and Power and Death Fulfil the purpose of the Coming One.
La Voluntad de salvar está presente. El Amor para llevar a cabo la tarea, está ampliamente difundido La Ayuda activa de quienes conocen la verdad también está presente.
The WILL to save is here. The LOVE to carry forth the work is widely spread abroad. The ACTIVE AID of all who know the truth is also here.
Ven, oh Todopoderoso, y fusiona a los tres. Construye una muralla protectora. El imperio del mal debe terminar ahora.
Come forth, O Mighty One and blend these three. Construct a great defending wall. The rule of evil now must end.
Issued in 1940 AFTER the war broke out in the physical plane. Goodwill is put on hold. The Will-to-Good is activated.
There are those who send thoughts of love to the group of evil men who are responsible for world disaster, believing thereby to influence them for good. I would remind them that love is essentially an impersonal potency or energy, dependent for its effect upon the type of form which it contacts and upon which it makes an impact. Pouring, therefore, upon the selfish materialistic nature, it will only enhance desire and promote increased acquisitive aggression, and thus foster the lower nature and distort the true expression of love, leading to increased evil activity. Pouring upon the selfless, the pure and the disinterested, it will foster reality and true love. These are points which should be remembered at this time by the well-intentioned but occultly ignorant server.
The Externalisation of the Hierarchy, p. 265
Great Invocation 1945
Desde el punto de Luz en la Mente de Dios, Que afluya luz a las mentes humanas, Que la Luz descienda a la Tierra.
From the point of Light within the Mind of God Let light stream forth into the minds of men. Let Light descend on Earth.
Desde el punto de Amor en el Corazón de Dios, Que afluya amor a los corazones humanos, Que Cristo retorne a la Tierra.
From the point of Love within the Heart of God Let love stream forth into the hearts of men. May Christ return to Earth.
Desde el centro donde la Voluntad de Dios es conocida, Que el Propósito guíe a las pequeñas voluntades humanas, El Propósito que los Maestros conocen y sirven.
From the centre where the Will of God is known Let purpose guide the little wills of men— The purpose which the Masters know and serve.
Desde el centro que llamamos la raza humana, Que se realice el Plan de Amor y de Luz Y selle la puerta donde se halla el mal.
From the centre which we call the race of men Let the Plan of Love and Light work out. And may it seal the door where evil dwells.
Que la Luz, el Amor y el Poder restablezcan el Plan en la Tierra.
Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.
Issued in 1945 AFTER the Allied Forces of Light defeated the Axis of Evil in the physical plane. Goodwill (Light and Love) and Will-to-Good (Power) in perfect harmony.
The issues at stake are clear to all right-thinking people. Intolerance and an intense national pride and self-satisfaction can blind men to the facts of the case today, but there are enough people thinking clearly to make the future of right decision more probable than at any previous time in the history of the race. 137
When the Great Invocation is thus rightly used and the world centres are consequently consciously interrelated, then certain extra-planetary Energies can be called in by the Ruler of Shamballa to aid in the re-adjustments required for the New Age and its coming civilisation. These Forces—spiritual and potent in nature—exist in two categories: solar Forces which are inter-planetary and cosmic Forces which enter into our solar system via Jupiter as the transmitter of divine energies from Virgo and Aquarius which Jupiter esoterically governs. 155
The Externalisation of the Hierarchy
Great Invocation 1935
Que las Fuerzas de la Luz iluminen a la humanidad.
Let the Forces of Light bring illumination to mankind.
Que el Espíritu de la Paz se difunda por el mundo.
Let the Spirit of Peace be spread abroad.
Que el espíritu de colaboración una a los hombres y mujeres de buena voluntad, dondequiera que estén.
May men of goodwill everywhere meet in a spirit of cooperation.
Que el PER-DONAR, por parte de todos, sea la tónica de esta época.
May forgiveness on the part of all men be the keynote at this time.
Que el poder acompañe los esfuerzos de los Grandes Seres.
Let power attend the efforts of the Great Ones.
Que así sea, y cumplamos nuestra parte.
So let it be, and help us to do our part.
Issued in 1935 BEFORE the war broke out in the physical plane.
“May forgiveness on the part of all men be the keynote at this time.”
This faculty of forgiveness is not a form of magnanimous forgetting or overlooking, neither is it a gesture of superiority whereby the slate is wiped clean. It is the very breath of life itself—the giving of all to all and for all. -Education in the New Age, p. 129
The word “forgiveness” is .. simply “to give for.” Forgiveness is not therefore, a synonym for pardon… Forgiveness is sacrifice, and is the giving up of one’s self, even of one’s very life, for the sake of others and for the good of the whole group. This spirit of sacrifice is ever found when the Shamballa force is rightly contacted…Manifestation is itself the Great Forgiveness.

CALL TO A UNITED ACT OF SERVICE
Transitional Alternative Invocation of 1939
Ext Jer 147: A aquellos de ustedes que pueden valorar y utilizar la Gran Invocación, les sugeriría un empleo renovado y fervoroso. Sin embargo podría sugerirse como alternativa la invocación siguiente:
Ext Hier 174: To those of you who can appreciate and use the Great Invocation, I would suggest its renewed and earnest use. This alternative invocation might, however, be suggested and found useful:
“Oh Señor de Luz y Amor, ven y gobierna al mundo. Que el Príncipe de la Paz aparezca y ponga fin a las guerras de las naciones. Que el reinado de la Luz, el Amor y la Justicia comience. Que haya paz en la Tierra y que empiece en nosotros mismos.”
“O Lord of Light and Love, come forth and rule the world. May the Prince of Peace appear and end the warring of the nations. May the reign of Light and Love and Justice be begun. Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with us.”
Earlier I stated that the physical plane areas or localities which constitute the present modern exits for energies, through which directed energies can pass to carry out the creative process, are five in number: New York, London, Geneva, Darjeeling and Tokyo. These five form a five-pointed star of interlocking energies, symbolic of the major divisions of our modern civilisation.
Once that impressive bombardment was carried out – the largest and most intense I had ever seen – there was only a dense smoke and only the cries of the wounded and the moans of the dying could be heard. I had never witnessed such a spectacle, never seen so many lives shattered, so much blood, so many amputated limbs, so many dead friends. Whoever has seen up close the appalling carnage caused by the bombing of aircraft on large concentrations of humans will undoubtedly repudiate war forever and denounce from the bottom of his heart all those who are capable of producing, loving or determining it. –Vicente Beltrán-Anglada (excerpt translated from the book Mis Experiencias Espirituales, p. 127 )
New Moon period: the Moon not reflecting any light from the Sun for a brief period of darkness (new beginnings; seed to mature at the succeeding Pisces Full Moon).
Sun/Moon (new moon) conjunct Jupiter in Pisces (Jupiter is orthodox ruler of Pisces)
Mars and Venus conjunct Pluto in Capricorn. (Pluto is esoteric ruler of Pisces).
Capricorn is the rising sign of both the Ukraine and the Russian invasion charts.
May the potential Mars-Pluto conflagration be defused, transmuted and extinguished by the energies of right human relations carried by Venus and the beneficial (Jupiter) waters of Pisces.
Mercury conjunct Saturn in Aquarius during a new moon may restrict (Saturn) communications and power grid (Mercury). [communication towers in Ukraine have already been attacked by the Russian military]. May the expansive energies of Jupiter (esoteric ruler of Aquarius) keep open the communication channels with the realms of Light where Soul “grows and glows.”
Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth. -JB

MANTRAM OF THE NEWGROUP OF WORLD SERVERS
May the Power of the one Life pour through the group of all true servers
May the Love of the one Soul characterise the lives of all who seek to aid the Great Ones
May I fulfil my part in the one Work through self-forgetfulness, harmlessness, and right speech.
It is essential that servers everywhere—the intelligent men and women of good will—get a grasp, fresh and clear, of the work to be done and that they become “relaying channels and not delaying points of selfish interest” in the divine flow. This takes vision and courage. It takes courage to adjust their lives—daily and in all relations—to the need of the hour and to the service of mankind; it takes courage to attack life problems on behalf of others and [Page 196] to obliterate one’s own personal wishes in the emergency and need, and to do so consistently and persistently.
Telepathy
Five people die after Russia attacks TV tower in Kyiv, Ukrainian officials say
Slava Ukraini! is a Ukrainian national salute, known as a symbol of Ukrainian sovereignty and resistance. It is often accompanied by the response “Glory to the heroes!” (romanized: Heroiam slava!).
Jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny: We – Russia – want to be a nation of peace. Alas, few people would call us that now. But let’s at least not become a nation of frightened silent people. Of cowards who pretend not to notice the aggressive war against Ukraine unleashed by our obviously insane czar. I cannot, do not want and will not remain silent watching how pseudo-historical nonsense about the events of 100 years ago has become an excuse for Russians to kill Ukrainians, and for Ukrainians to kill Russians while defending themselves. It’s the third decade of the 21st century, and we are watching news about people burning down in tanks and bombed houses. We are watching real threats to start a nuclear war on our TVs. I am from the USSR myself. I was born there. And the main phrase from there – from my childhood – was “fight for peace.” I call on everyone to take to the streets and fight for peace. Putin is not Russia. And if there is anything in Russia right now that you can be most proud of, it is those 6824 people who were detained because – without any call – they took to the streets with placards saying “No War”. They say that someone who cannot attend a rally and does not risk being arrested for it cannot call for it. I’m already in prison, so I think I can. We cannot wait any longer. Wherever you are, in Russia, Belarus or on the other side of the planet, go to the main square of your city every weekday and at 2 pm on weekends and holidays. If you are abroad, come to the Russian embassy. If you can organise a demonstration, do so on the weekend. Yes, maybe only a few people will take to the streets on the first day. And in the second – even less. But we must, gritting our teeth and overcoming fear, come out and demand an end to the war. Each arrested person must be replaced by two newcomers. If in order to stop the war we have to fill prisons and paddy wagons with ourselves, we will fill prisons and paddy wagons with ourselves. Everything has a price, and now, in the spring of 2022, we must pay this price. There’s no one to do it for us. Let’s not “be against the war.” Let’s fight against the war. Everything has a price, and now, in the spring of 2022, we must pay this price. There’s no one to do it for us. Let’s not “be against the war.” Let’s fight against the war.
UNITED NATIONS, March 2 (Reuters) – The United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday overwhelmingly voted to reprimand Russia for invading Ukraine and demanded that Moscow stop fighting and withdraw its military forces, an action that aims to diplomatically isolate Russia at the world body.
The resolution, supported by 141 of the assembly’s 193 members, passed in a rare emergency session called by the U.N. Security Council while Ukrainian forces battled to defend the port of Kherson in the face of air strikes and a devastating bombardment that forced hundreds of thousands of people to flee.
The text of the resolution deplores Russia’s “aggression against Ukraine.”
Russia was joined by Belarus, which has served as a launch pad for Russian invasion forces, Eritrea, North Korea and Syria in voting against the resolution. Thirty-five members, including China, abstained.
*March 3: Putin’s terrorist plan is to instill fear and negotiate from a position of military strength. In his sick mind, might is right. However, the factor of TIME is operating against his little will. Ukrainians must FOR-GIVE (not “forgive”) and outlast his evil intention. RESIST. RESIST. RESIST. While the whole world UNANIMOUSLY make Putin accountable for the barbaric crimes of war he is committing against Humanity (not just Ukraine). A PSYCHOLOGICAL “great defending wall” protecting the Ukrainian people from fear must be constructed. “An impregnable wall of spiritual light which will utterly confound the enemy of humanity. It will be a wall of energy—vibrating, protective, and at the same time of such power that it can repulse those who seek to pass in their pursuit of evil and wicked objectives.” (Ext H, p. 280)
the word “forgiveness” is .. simply “to give for.” Forgiveness is not therefore, a synonym for pardon… Forgiveness is sacrifice, and is the giving up of one’s self, even of one’s very life, for the sake of others and for the good of the whole group. This spirit of sacrifice is ever found when the Shamballa force is rightly contacted…Manifestation is itself the Great Forgiveness.
Externalisation of the Hierarchy, p. 164
[JB] How do we translate to the men and women of goodwill, that what is happening is the result of the Impacts of Shamballa, energizing both good and evil in the world, for the purpose of planetary and human evolution, and that such life-threatening labor pains are permitted by Sanat Kumara, without divine intervention, so that Humanity, exercising its free will, according to the Plan, can grow into adulthood (1st initiation, birth of the Christ) and assume its planetary responsibility in “sealing the door where evil dwells,” so that the World Teacher can reappear and the externalized Hierarchy of Masters assume democratic control of the planetary affairs, and planet Earth becomes a Beacon of Light in the solar system and the cosmos?
The group, therefore, which “serves as Aquarius indicates” is the Hierarchy; the group which is “speeded upon the upward Way” is the New Group of World Servers. This group is ruled by Taurus, and to it that divine Taurian energy brings “illumination and the attainment of the vision.” This group is, figuratively speaking, the “bull, rushing forward upon a straight line with its one eye fixed upon the goal and beaming light.” But what is that goal? It is not the goal of Self-illumination, for that lies far behind; it is the goal of providing a centre of light within the world of men and of holding up the vision to the sons of men. Let this never be forgotten, and let the New Group of [Page 233] World Servers realise its mission and recognise the demands of humanity upon it. What are these demands? Let me enumerate them, and then let me ask you to take them in all simplicity and act upon them.
1. To receive and transmit illumination from the kingdom of souls.
2. To receive inspiration from the Hierarchy and go forth, consequently, to inspire.
3. To hold the vision of the Plan before the eyes of men, for “where there is no vision, the people perish.”
4. To act as an intermediate group between the Hierarchy and humanity, receiving light and power and then using both of these, under the inspiration of love, to build the new world of tomorrow.
5. To toil in Pisces, illumined by Taurus and responsive in degree to the Aquarian impulse coming from the Hierarchy.
These objectives are not only individual objectives, but the goal for the entire group. All who respond to the life-giving force of Aquarius and to the light-giving force of Taurus can and will work in the New Group of World Servers, even though they have no occult knowledge and have never heard of their co-workers under that name. Forget this not.
The Rays and the Initiations (Rule XII)
However, the Masters of Love and Compassion, are not indifferent to the pains and struggles of Humanity. Although They can’t intervene at the physical level,
The Hierarchy is a great fighting body today, fighting for the souls of men, fighting all that blocks the expansion of the human consciousness, fighting all that limits human freedom (I said not license) and fighting to remove those factors and barriers which militate against the return of [Page 551] the Christ and the emergence of the Hierarchy as a fully functioning body on earth. There is nothing weak, vacillating, sentimental or neutral in the attitude of the Hierarchy; this must be grasped by humanity, and the strength and insight as well as the love of the Hierarchy must be counted upon.
Externalisation of the Hierarchy
Furthermore,
The Hierarchy works—as you well know—with the souls of men and with those minds which are so oriented and disposed that they react to soul impression. When I use the expression “the Forces of Light” I mean those enlightened nations upon whom the light of Freedom shines and who will refuse, at all costs, to relinquish that light.
Externalisation of the Hierarchy
I would therefore ask you to steel your souls to endurance, knowing that the Hierarchy Stands; I would ask you to love blindly and unchangingly in spite of all that may happen, knowing that Love Stands unmoved amid the wreckage of all around and eternally loves; I would ask you to put your hand into that of the Master and move forward with Him and in the strength of your group, irradiated by [Page 30] the life and light of the Hierarchy; I would ask you to be a strong hand in the dark to your fellowmen because you are affiliated with the Hierarchy and the love and strength of the Hierarchy can flow through you, if you so permit.
Discipleship in the New Age, Vol II
*March 4:
How should an esotericist respond to the imminent threat of a disaster? Rationally, of course, not emotionally. The constant practice of mediation should have trained us to control our emotions and proceed rationally, and intuitively too.
should have prepared us to react rationally, and proceed intuitively, in the face of a disaster.
Before even considering how to control the elementals of fire, a task we should leave to devas and initiates of higher ranking, we should first inform ourselves about the sequence of events that results in a nuclear power plant meltdown. For instance, the need for electrical power, to control the nuclear reactors and the cooling systems, is essential to avoid disaster.
There are human minds, from government authorities and senior engineers to the firefighters, making decisions in response to a disaster, according to an incident management system. As esotericists, we can we can effectively send constructive thoughts in support of these individuals. They are the ones putting out the fires, not us. For instance, there are soldiers exchanging fire shots, preventing the firefighters from extinguishing a fire caused by missiles. We can help bring common sense to the human minds involved in this type of uncontrolled behavioral chain reaction by aligning with the Hierarchical Executives in charge of the response operation, and providing our minds and hearts as “relaying channels” for Their intervention.
What we should not be doing is to engage in a philosophical debate about the causes of the war, if NATO forces should be strengthened or not. We should leave those considerations to the mitigation, prevention and prepared phases of an incident, while we are engaged in the response phase.
Once the immediate response phase is over, recovery follows and the whole planning cycle is resumed.
For instance, has the UN proven to be effective in preventing and reacting to the Russian invasion of Ukraine? Do we need to make structural changes and plan for the refoundation of the UN.? Should only democracies be admitted to the UN, as originally suggested by Master D.K.? Should the General Assembly (GA) function as a parliament, with votes counting in proportion of the population of the countries? Should the Security Council (SC) be transformed into an Executive Council comprised of the major world economies ratifying the viability of the decisions made by the GA? Should a single country be given veto power, or should the GA be able to override a veto of the SC by a supermajority (2/3 or 3/4, predetermined by the issue at hand)? These, and similar discussions, may bring the esoteric community closer to the charge of the New Group of World Servers, as given by the Master D.K., serving as a bridge between the Hierarchy and the thinkers of Humanity.
One of these thinkers is saying:
Russian human rights activist and former world chess champion Garry Kasparov on Thursday urged world powers to adopt a harsher military and economic strategy against Russian President Vladimir Putin for his invasion of Ukraine… calling it nothing short of “the first stage of World War III.”
Shouldn’t we be paying attention to an international master of strategy, and an intimate knower of the Russian reality?
BBC: The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has said it is in contact with Ukrainian authorities over the reports of shelling at the the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.
A spokesperson for the plant has also taken to social media asking that Russian forces “stop the heavy weapons fire”.
CNN: The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Ukraine’s regulator had told the organization there had been no change in reported radiation levels and that the fire had not affected “essential” equipment.
*March 5
Fear is an illusion. I would like to point out to my brothers that they need to do two things: To meditate on truth in daily life, using the concept of truth practised and lived by as their seed thought in meditation; to this end I would suggest that they memorise and use at all times when swept by illusory fears and needless foreboding the following formula or prayer:
Let reality govern my every thought, and truth be the master of my life.
Let each say this to himself as constantly as need requires, [Page 240] forcing his mind to focus attention upon the significance of these spoken words.
I would suggest also sound common sense and the cultivation of an attitude of mind which refuses to permit time for illusory fears to grow.
This article [written in 2006] is an effort to alert disciples to both the dangers and opportunities of our time, the “Stage of the Forerunner.” The author highlights the importance attached by the Tibetan Master to humanity’s recognition of three aspects of reality before the year 2025.
The Tibetan states that three “recognitions” must take root within humanity by 2025. They must be assimilated in such a way that they will “produce fundamental changes in human thought, awareness and direction.” The importance of achieving these recognitions is “above everything else required at this time.” Moreover, if these fundamental changes in consciousness fail to occur, He sounds a dire warning: “These three recognitions must be evidenced by humanity and affect human thinking and action if the total destruction of mankind is to be averted.”
The required changes in consciousness are worded as follows:
a recognition of the world of meaning,
a recognition of Those Who implement world affairs and Who engineer those steps which lead mankind onward toward its destined goal, plus
a steadily increased recognition of the Plan on the part of the masses.
The task of communicating knowledge of subtle realities to a broader public was assigned to disciples, although this fact is often overlooked or underestimated. To a surprising extent, the Plan depends upon the willingness and ability of esoteric students to carry out this work effectively in time to avert possible disaster.
Eight seed thoughts
Russia will not win the war of aggression against Ukraine. Russia may win some battles, but it will lose the war.
Ukrainians will succeed in resisting the invasion no matter how long it takes, no matter how painful. A successful resistance is victory.
Putin will be defeated from within Russia. The Russian military will see the folly of Putin’s war of choice and the Russian people will rise in opposition to Putin.
Ukraine reserves the right of self defense. This right includes asking other countries to aid them militarily. Poland, the country whose invasion by Hitler triggered WW-II, has already agreed to offer protection of Ukraine’s air space.
Putin is no Hitler because he’s not committed to subjugate the world invoking racial or ideological superiority. There’s nothing wrong with a block of nations in free association with Russia. What’s wrong is the totalitarian imposition of such association of countries, as a Russian Empire.
Putin is a totalitarian terrorist, holding Ukraine hostage and threatening the international security forces with the nuke option, like any other resentful terrorist would do.
You don’t negotiate with terrorists for a solution that would leave them free. Terrorists need to be subdued or eliminated, with the minimum risk possible to the hostages
A totalitarian superpower is a cancer threatening world peace. Totalitarianism is an evil which humanity must seal the door to.
For students and teachers of the Alice A. Bailey books, the essay written by the Lucis Trust on the “Jewish People” is a very useful reference. Their effort is to be commended, particularly in the context of Master D.K.’s definition of modern esotericism, “the newer esotericism which the more modern groups and the more mental types will sponsor.”
One would expect that such crucial definition, at the very heart of the essential purpose of an esoteric school, would appear prominently in its home page. Instead, a quote from the book Education in the New Age (pp. 59-68) is hidden (no pun intended) in the tab “Key articles” under the rubric “Other talks and articles” among many other articles.
It would greatly benefit students and teachers alike if the Arcane School would provide a comprehensive definition of what esotericism essentially is, worded in modern language and grounded in the Teachings, such as:
Esotericism comprises the study of that which is concealed and hidden and which, even though suspected, remains unknown. Essentially, esotericism is a science, the science of the soul of all things. This soul is the animating consciousness found throughout nature and on those levels which lie outside the territory usually called nature. As such, esotericism has its own terminology, experiments, deductions, and laws.
The esotericist is concerned with that living, vibrant substance of which the worlds are made, developing the needed responsiveness and sensitivity to the quality of the life dominating any form, arriving eventually at the quality of the ONE LIFE which animates the planet and within Whose activity we live and move and have our being. Therefore, esotericism is the Science of Redemption, the redemption of substance and its forms, as all World Saviors are the everlasting symbol and exponents.
The spiritual Hierarchy of the planet, with its great Leader, the Christ (the present World Teacher), might be regarded as a Hierarchy of Redeemers, skilled in the Science of Redemption. Once They have mastered this science, They can then pass on to the Science of Life and deal with the energies which will eventually hold and use the qualified, redeemed and principled substance and forms. It is the redemption of unprincipled substance, its creative restoration and spiritual integration, which is Their goal.
Esoteric study, when coupled with esoteric living, reveals in time the world of meaning. The esotericist starts by endeavoring to discover the reason why. Wrestling with the problem of happenings, events, crises, and circumstances, the esotericist arrives at their meaning. Having ascertained the meaning of any specific problem, the esotericist uses it as an invitation to penetrate more deeply into the newly revealed world of meaning, learning to incorporate personal or national problems into the problem of the larger Whole. The true esoteric viewpoint is always that of the larger Whole.
adapted from Education in the New Age, pp. 59-68
It is in this context that the “Jewish Problem” is approached by the Tibetan Master, and the essay written by the Lucis Trust staff is an excellent synthesis and reference. Its best approach may be found in the following paragraph:
Some people wonder why, when human history is replete with examples of “man’s inhumanity to man”, the Tibetan seemed to single out the Jews for special criticism. Everything that the Tibetan wrote needs to be studied in the context of the entire body of teachings which promote goodwill, tolerance, and mutual respect. Comments on the Jewish people must be read in their entirety, which includes mention of the splendid contribution of the Jewish people in many departments of human life. Criticism of separative tendencies in Zionism must be read in the context of biting comments on the subterfuge of the Vatican, materialism in the Christian churches, and “churchianity” in general. He was also outspoken in his opposition to American isolationism, Soviet totalitarianism, fascism, Nazism, and the great evil embodied by Hitler and his closest associates, and to pacifism during the World War—all of which compromised the essential oneness of humanity and the spirit of responsible freedom.
However, the essay is flawed with a false equivalence by referring to the occupied Palestinian territories as “neighbors” of the Zionist state.
Another point of concern for many is the Tibetan’s unwavering opposition to Zionism. He believed that the Jewish problem could be solved only by their integration into the world’s nations, not by setting the Jews further apart in a separate nation. However, almost all the writing that developed from his collaboration with Alice Bailey was completed before the state of Israel was founded in 1948, and Israel has been a reality for sixty years. The situation is not helped by critical, hateful thinking towards either the Israeli citizens or their neighbours. Rather, all people of goodwill are obligated to bring loving understanding and compassion to all affected by the suffering resulting from the long-standing conflict in the Middle East. All who espouse spiritual values must approach the situation of the Middle East with a realistic appraisal of present circumstances and a focus on creative change leading to better conditions for all concerned. It is a difficult challenge but not an impossible one. And it is worth every ounce of effort we can bring to bear upon a just resolution, for “When humanity has solved the Jewish problem (with the understanding cooperation of the Jew) and overcome ancient antipathies and hatreds, it will do so by fusing the problem in one vast humanitarian situation” (The Externalisation of the Hierarchy, p. 77).
The word “Palestine” is avoided, even implying that the original teaching of the Tibetan Master may be outdated and must be reinterpreted and adapted to the current situation. This may be so. Hopefully, the next dispensation of the Teachings would clarify the current stance of the spiritual Hierarchy on the unlawful occupation of the Palestine territories as a fait accompli.
However, “esotericism has its own terminology, experiments, deductions, and laws.” One of such law is the Law of Karma. The unlawful occupation of the Palestine territories would be an additional karma generated in the world by the Zionist state of Israel. The ideology of Zionism — different from the Jewish people — is unequivocally identified as evil in the Teachings.
Zionism today stands for aggression and for the use of force, and the keynote is permission to take what you want irrespective [Page 680] of other people or of their inalienable rights. These points of view are against the position of the spiritual leaders of humanity, and therefore the leaders of the Zionist movement, and the group of men who direct and control the policies of Russia, are against the policies of the spiritual Hierarchy and are contrary to the lasting good of mankind. -R&I
Therefore, caution must be exerted before accepting the revision to the Teachings suggested by the Lucis Trust, as we keep in mind the scope of “esoteric research” in the practice of the newer esotericism.
There is a tendency among esoteric students, particularly those in the older Piscean groups, to regard any interest in the energies producing world events or which concern governments and politics as antagonistic to esoteric and spiritual endeavor. But the newer esotericism which the more modern groups and the more mental types will sponsor sees all events and world movements and national governments, plus all political circumstances, as expressions of the energies to be found in the inner world of esoteric research; therefore they see no sound reason for excluding such an important aspect of human affairs from their reasoning and thinking and from the discovery of those new truths and techniques which may bring about the new era of right human relations. They ask: Why omit political research from the spiritual curriculum? They deem it to be of equal if not of greater importance than the activity of the churches; governments condition people and aid in the production of any current civilization, forcing the masses of men into certain needed lines of thought. The churches and men everywhere need to learn that there is nothing in the entire world of phenomena, of forces and of energies, which cannot be brought under the control of that which is spiritual. All that exists is spirit in manifestation. The masses today are becoming politically minded, and this is viewed by the Masters as a great step forward. When the spiritually minded people of the world include this relatively new area of human thought and its international activity within the field of their esoteric research, very great progress will be made.
War is, factually, a great explosion of energies and forces, generated on the inner planes where the esotericist ought to be working (but is seldom to be found), and finding its dire and catastrophic expression upon the physical plane. This is indicated today by the constant use of the terms “Forces of Light” and “Forces of Evil.” When the inner, esoteric, and predisposing causes of war are discovered through esoteric research, then war and wars will come to an end. This is in the nature of truly esoteric work but is scorned by present day esotericists who regard themselves as spiritually superior to such affairs and—in their ivory tower—concentrate on their own development, plus a little philosophy.
I shared useful material and several links to sources of reliable information on the subject. Among them, I highly recommend the excellent educational material from the European Commission (EC).
Fully agreeing with this statement included in the Program of the Conference,
the workshop provided an opportunity for me, a seasoned and fully credentialed scientist, to share with the esoteric community a scientist’s perspective on this Crisis of Belief, as is so well described in the Program. And this was what I did, in an impersonal way.
However, I have been asked to address concerns in our community about a co-worker closely connected with our service activities who is actively promoting COVID-19 conspiracy theories.
Stop the spread
I think that this kind of misleading information is a good opportunity to put into practice the principles that I outlined in the workshop, particularly in the light of the EC criteria for identifying conspiracy theories.
Conspiracy theories are very seductive and the esoteric community is particularly susceptible to their seduction, for the reasons explained in the workshop.
The temptations of the Christ in the desert may serve as a model of an effective but impersonal response from me to such misinformation. The Christ did not engage in arguments but, rather, asserted the fact: “IT IS WRITTEN…” Likewise, my personal response to such misleading posting is as simple and direct:
NOT TRUE!
We need to apply our spiritual discernment on these matters. No one else can do the work for us. One hint, though, may be useful: check its predictive value. Is what the theories predict actually happening? In India and Brazil, for instance?
I understand that there are many other coworkers enticed by this seduction. Like the father of the Prodigal Son parable, the prudent thing to do is to wait for their return to the main but narrow Path of the Light. I love them the same, regardless.
We are told, “There is no such thing as failure; there can only be loss of time.” (TWM, 634) May you use your time wisely.

Agni Yoga 115. Often We are asked why We do not hasten to destroy a harmful entity. This must be explained clearly, especially since you yourself have a weapon for such destruction. I shall take the example of a physician. Often the physician is ready to cut away a knot of diseased nerves, but possible damage to a sympathetic center stays his scalpel. No being is isolated. Numberless are the layers of the karmic web that binds even the most disparate beings. In the flow of the karmic stream one can trace currents linking the most unworthy to the most worthy. Therefore the one who cuts must first anesthetize the channels that unite the streams of karma. Otherwise the individual destruction, even if justified, can cause harm to the whole. Thus the means for destruction must be resorted to with the utmost caution.
All men and women are created equal in essence. However, to live in peace, they must relate to each other, and to the whole, according to developed levels of consciousness, as defined by the Law of Divine Proportions.
This Law of Right Relations states that the whole is to the greater as the greater is to the lesser. Conversely, the lesser is to the greater as the greater is to the whole.
The lesser consciousness of self-interest is to the greater consciousness of the common good —group consciousness— as the common good is to the One. This ratio is phi (0.618, with a lowercase p).
The One is to group consciousness as group consciousness is to selfishness. The ratio is Phi (1.618, with a capitalized P).
Phi and phi are reciprocal and complementary ratios, or reasons, derived from the mathematical properties of self-similarity.
If you square Phi, you get a number exactly 1 greater than itself: 2.618…, or
Φ² = Φ + 1.
If you divide Phi into 1 to get its reciprocal, you get a number exactly 1 less than itself: 0.618…, or
The One is revealed as an essential referent to achieve right human relations, wherein the sum, or the common good, is more than the addition of its parts, the fractions of self- interest.
Neither Phi nor phi are rational numbers but, rather, they are reasonable proportions. They cannot be reduced to a ratio of any two integers of self-interest. However, they can be reasonably related within the One, as the Golden Ratio of Divine Proportions.
The Mother of Creation — the Divine Geometrician — is unveiled by the Golden Ratio. The geometrical representation of Phi is the five-pointed star, the figure drawn by the geocentric 8-year cycle of Venus.

True freedom is always circumscribed, inscribed within a whole. Individual rights —the lesser— must be integrated with social responsibility —the greater— for the good of the whole, the common good. This is the message encrypted in the urban design of the Temple of the Lady of Freedom, the District of Columbia, the capital of the United States of America.

For democracy to work, the sons and daughters of a country must relate to each other, and to their leaders, as their leaders relate to the Good, the True and the Beautiful. This is an enlightened democracy, a hierarchical democracy.
A democracy from the people (the lesser self-interest), by the enlightened people (the greater common good), and for the (sake of the) whole people (the One).

Only then can the physical presence of the Hierarchy of Masters of Wisdom and Compassion be possible among us for the first time since Atlantis. The self-interest advanced by the Dark Forces must be held in check by the freewill of humanity.
We must seal the door where evil of separateness dwells. Then and only then, can the Inner Government of the World externalize and the Lord Maitreya —the Christ, also known as the Imam Mahdi, the Kalki Avatar and the Bodhisattva— physically reappear on Earth.
So may it be.

The Externalization of the Hierarchy
Owing to the fact that mankind is so weakened by pain, strain and suffering, the probability is that it will not be deemed wise for the Lords of Liberation directly to contact humanity. They will more probably do three things:
Stand behind and strengthen the Rider on the white horse as He responds to the demand of the people everywhere, pouring through Him that dynamic energy which embodies the first divine aspect, the will aspect, the power expression. Thus, They will enable Him to carry out the will of God in such a manner that humanity can grasp [Page 271] what is being done. Mankind will then see the Love which animates the Will and Power of God. The true significance of liberty will then be revealed. It is not yet understood.
Pour Their strengthening will-to-good into the New Group of World Servers in all lands, so that there may be potent, simultaneous action in line with the purposes of the Rider from the secret place.
Stimulate, and integrate into the minds of certain advanced disciples, a number of new ideals which must govern the liberating process and find expression in the New Age. This was done in a small way at the time of the French Revolution when the three major concepts of freedom were expressed in the three words, Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, and were intellectually presented to the race. These have now been temporarily relinquished, and this in itself constitutes an important symbolic happening. It had to occur, because these three words stood for no factual truth but simply for a hope and for an academic concept; the events of the last few months reduced them to a farce. So, they were deliberately withdrawn in order to enhance their importance and will later be restored and will then assume a new and potent significance in the minds of all men. They are the three words which must govern the New Age.
Certain racial interpretations of ideals will also have to disappear in order to be succeeded by new and better ones. This applies even to man’s understanding of the three words which we have been considering.
“Liberty,” as the Lords of Liberation may endorse it, is in reality the recognition of right human relations, freely adjusted, willingly undertaken and motivated by a sense of responsibility which will act as a protective wall; this will take place, not through coercive measures, but through correct interpretation and quick appreciation by the masses, who are apt to confound licence (personality freedom to do as the lower nature chooses) and liberty of soul and conscience. Yet this liberty is the easiest aspect of the divine will for humanity to grasp. [Page 272] It is in reality the first revelation given to man of the nature of the Will of God and of the quality of Shamballa.
“Equality” is that peculiar understanding which the Coming One will reveal and which is based on a right sense of proportion, correct Self-respect, and understanding of the spiritual, yet natural, laws of Rebirth and of Cause and Effect, and which will be founded in future centuries on the recognition of the age of a soul’s experience and gained development, and not at all on the loud emphatic affirmation that “all men are equal.”
“Fraternity” is something that humanity itself will contribute as an expression of the third aspect of divinity, basing it on right contact and right reaction to contact.
Thus, there will be developed gradually the true life-theme of humanity, which is brotherhood, founded on divine origin (equality) and leading to a free and true expression of divinity (liberty).
Perhaps with these thoughts in mind, this first stanza of the new Invocation will assume more importance, and you will then be able intelligently to invoke Those Who can inspire to right action, thus bringing succour, and call forth the One Who can save the situation through right leadership.
Construct a great defending wall. The rule of evil now must end.
THE GREAT INVOCATION
Let the Forces of Light bring illumination to mankind. Let the Spirit of Peace be spread abroad. May men of goodwill everywhere meet in a spirit of cooperation. May forgiveness on the part of all men be the keynote at this time. Let power attend the efforts of the Great Ones. So let it be, and help us to do our part. — 1935
Let the Lord of Liberation issue forth. Let Him bring succour to the sons of men. Let the Rider from the Secret Place come forth, And coming, save. Come forth, O Mighty One. Let the souls of men awaken to the Light, And may they stand with massed intent. Let the fiat of the Lord go forth: The end of woe has come! Come forth, O Mighty One. The hour of service of the saving force has now arrived. Let it be spread abroad, O Mighty One.
Let Light and Love and Power and Death Fulfil the purpose of the Coming One. The WILL to save is here. The LOVE to carry forth the work is widely spread abroad. The ACTIVE AID of all who know the truth is also here. Come forth, O Mighty One, and blend these three. Construct a great defending wall. The rule of evil now must end. — 1940
