A Subjective Source Impression received during Meditation.
The Path
One needs to know where they are and their next step forward upon this most significant of all journeys into eternal time and infinite space. There is an art and a science to the Path, which can be further defined as Spiritual Path, Creative Path, Karmic Path, Destiny Path, and Evolutionary Path. Each individual path is a product of one’s own livingness created or unfolded by their own substance, livingness, desire or will, experimentation, understanding, alignment and integration of their three major periodic vehicles of themselves.
The degree of organization of one’s living substance is in truth the unfolding of the way of the disciple. Serendipitously, disciples move forward in this process each step with Hierarchy as a whole and in rhythm with life. Order, as implied here, is a product of many variables or factors addressed over time, all of which can be defined if time permitted for there are known 6, 620 variables or organizing factors alone. Each prioritized according to the moment. Each an outcome of the others and likewise their cause. All disciples create their service activities in respect to this order and none ignores its wisdom or necessity.
There are many ways this discussion might assist you in understanding the basic unfoldment or organizing process undergone by a personality/soul for integration into the One Ashram. I have listed 22 steps or ways in a prioritized third ray logical order for this context development.
Some of these are unfolded in the discussion on “Creating a Working Disciple – A Summation” and in other discussions (herein the website):
- Contacting the ray group soul, fundamentally the first step into a greater penetration into the Ashram.
- The creation of a plan in relationship with the group soul.
- The organizing of your life in terms of the group.
- The organizing of your mind.
- Developing your gifts.
- Finishing the first half of the bridge.
- integrating with the soul.
- Creating your service environment.
- Creating yourself anew.
- Integrating with the exterior service group.
- Finishing your creative service projects.
- Aligning with the Master.
- Integration into the Periphery of an Ashram.
- Completing the bridge.
- Integration into Hierarchy.
- Discovering the Lord
- Building the Spiritual Triad.
- Developing an Ashram.
- Training your Ashram.
- Integrating your Ashram into Hierarchy.
- Healing Undertaken.
- Completing your initiation.
These 22 steps or methods are completed by each working disciple but in a most general way not always perceivable by those looking on from the outside or even known to the working disciple, unless he is in training for fourth initiation and this for various reasons. (3)
- The soul status of the disciple.
- The knowledge of the disciple.
- The nature of his intended work.
In most cases these 22 steps are present and what is important is that the group be integrated into Hierarchy and this for three reasons:
- For efficacy in service.
- For efficacy in meeting the hierarchical mandates related to the Plan.
- For efficacy in receiving the necessary support required of all groups if they are to be an instrument of the Hierarchy.
All of us, whose minds and hearts are being organized according to the soul’s intents are registering exactly what we need to be registering.
Each of us consider many variables with each decision that we make but as we advance along our path there are greater numbers of variables to consider and the ability of our minds to organize these becomes more and more difficult if using conventional forms of logic.
It has been said that the life of an initiate becomes simplified and that their decision-making variables becomes less and less over time. Even though this is basically true, it is also true that they consider greater and greater units of life in their considerations. Over time decisions become easier to make correctly because one’s spiritual gifts developed from spirit. Each of these gifts provides a particular path by which a disciple needs to take to find their way Home or into the Waters of Life or Ocean of Bliss. All gifts come from the greater group life and equips one to enter its heritage.
Some examples are given below substantiating the reasons for the various types of factors unfolding at any particular point in the evolutionary cycle for context. Obviously, in another time in human history or in another solar system their types would be quite different:
- The values and virtues of each soul are tantamount to evolutionary purposes being reified.
- The virtues of humanity now being expressed are the results of many millennia of struggles.
- The virtues and values being held and inculcated by the Hierarchy for Humanity represent the next stage of unfoldment needed by Humanity to manifest their purposes.
- The virtues and values being expressed now by probationary disciples represent Hierarchy’s movement subjectively.
- The values now being demonstrated by accepted disciple represent Hierarchy’s ability to move closer to Humanity and to Shamballa.
- For each of us there is the potential possibility of successfully integrating our selves with Hierarchy and to achieve this requires we do the following: 160
- For each of us there is also the possibility of integrating with Shamballa and to achieve this requires the following: 160
- There are several factors that will prevent us from demonstrating not only our Humanity but also our spirituality or Hierarchy as a human race: 14
- There are also several factors that will prevent us from demonstrating our ability to integrate with Shamballa as a race: 6
- There are many more factors than listed but these alone will provide the adequate understanding needed to permit grace to find humanity as a race.
- There are many nations who have succeeded in demonstrating the above virtues and values but until certain other nations do likewise then grace cannot be experienced by the race as a whole. 18
- We, as the human race, must register from the group soul of the various nations and from the soul of humanity what is required for all and each in accordance to the All. 18
- We also as a human race must express this knowingness. 12
- We as disciples must make this information known to humanity to do so in a timely way. 4
- We also must create various structures for this to take place. 8
- We must register for every nation what is required to be a part of the One Plan. 16
- We must not allow ourselves to be influenced by leaders of the world. 12
The Path of Sacredness is our path. If it is a path of your heart then it must be sacred to you. Thus, there are many paths but eventually it is the One Path with its unfolding set of factors and Purpose acknowledged that enjoined the many paths of the heart into the One Heart and these in a highly organized manner.
We on the inner side of life perceive three truths:
- The truth is the world is as if an egg is being incubated and hatched.
- The truth is we as entities are also like an egg and are being incubated to be hatched.
- The truth is that both we as entities and the world as an entity are being unfolded to carry out some unique Plan of Deity.
These three truths together permit us to say with certitude there is purpose in evolution and also it can be known. It also implies that we are becoming something new and unknown, and it is this unknown that creates the ultimate mystery of life. It also suggests to us not to question the importance of our lives. Basically, all lives on this planet are needed to carry out the purpose for which they are being unfolded. We have been given the right and the opportunity to figure out why.
The demonstrations of your hearts and minds might as well be those of someone else, including those of your personal self or personal expression, if you believe not in yourselves. For all of us there is a tendency to see ourselves as other than we truly are, and I mean this with the greatest respect for it is this process that life in the three worlds is essentially created for—to correct this perception. We believe that you will discover that every one of us believes they are at times or all the time challenging themselves to be themselves or to find themselves.
The greatest temptation and illusion in the average western person’s life is to be without reason for existence. It is this illusion that permits us to be satisfied with little or with nothing according to our state of desire or will. It is normally unfocused subjectively with little or no regard for its inherent or internal knowingness or our subjective guidance if it does not conform to either our apparent desires or the world view that we acknowledge.
As we wander down life’s pathways we discover things about ourselves that place us in a state of wonderment not knowing whether or not to even imagine our real potential or beingness we are capable of expressing in the moment. And why is this so?
We have not yet been mirrored in this way by society, friends, or family. We have not had the experience of expressing or being that unknown Self in a complete way this life for various reasons:
- Our personality focus has prevented us from having a different focus.
- Our sense of self is not yet defined outside of the paradigm we have accepted.
- Nor is our understanding of why we are as we are now understood correctly.
None of us, no matter what we have been, takes the time to compile a reasonable dossier detailing what this altered state of beingness or sense of self perception that would be, nor could we given our position or standing where we are now with the experiences we have had and the mirroring we have received.
As for example, it is unlikely of being unable to alter our self adequately enough for a loved one not to recognize us as the same person they have come to know. After all is said and done our desire for an altered way of beingness only comes when there is a desire to create our destinies differently. There is the likelihood that we will never be able to fully master this desired perfect beingness that takes into consideration all possible past, present, and future events.
Our lives are made up of a particular series of events that we identify with in some way with our being either consciously or unconsciously. Each series of events is created out of our desire to be happy. Each experience of happiness comes through having our perceived need met. This allows us to be successfully mirrored by life, which gives us a particular sense of self that is identified with that particular series of events. Each series of events that brings us happiness is re-created over and over in an attempt to register this experience of happiness.
It is important for each of us to determine if our experience of happiness, reflected in our intended life creation, will satisfy our being or not as a way we want to experience love. Love can be defined in many ways but if you really think about it love is the purpose for which we create anything in our lives. Each person’s love is different, and we can get a sense of their type of love and ability to love by what they create in their life as a person or as a soul. Happiness comes from our ability to successfully love as a person and joy comes from our ability to love successfully as a soul.
Each of you who reads this should seek to find within yourself that unique sense of love you possess that is reflected by what you essentially do every day to manifest your dreams or not do. It is through this day-to-day process of creating our life to be happy that our awareness of the way we love to be is mirrored, or not, by a series of life events. This process of being our self in life gives us a great satisfaction with life. When this is so, we see ourselves as being able to accomplish great things. This is so because each of us is able to create our lives according to our soul’s life intention (its intended nature and ability to love) representing our true ability to be our individualized Self. The more we can experience our self being happy in what we do, the more readily we can, and do, approach soul’s real intent for our life.
The personality can satisfy itself with the thought that I, the creator of my universe, attempt to imitate that Self I have chosen to identify with. This choice should demonstrate to us the power we have in determining our fate based upon what we choose to identify and consume mentally, emotionally, or physically either consciously or unconsciously. The soul qualifies our ability to love as we move into that direction that we think will bring us happiness. What does this mean? It means our soul qualifies our thoughts in such a way as to enhance our direction in life, and thus our fate in such a way, as to carry out its or the group soul’s real intention for our life.
Our ability to love as a soul does greatly increase one’s ability to serve one’s environment. Our ability to love as a soul also increases our ability to connect to spirit and to know the truth of existence. Each moment we consciously experience our soul’s intent, we get a glimmer of the synthesis needed between the personality’s ability to love and the soul’s ability to love. It is due to this increased sense of synthesis that we begin to see, taste, touch, hear and smell our essential nature in life events as soul inherent within us and without.
The reasonableness of our lives must be augmented with daily action. It is only daily action that will eventuate in the level of experimentation and experience required to forward our evolution or unfoldment of self-perception or needed beingness. To do so will suggest a greater ability to uncover our essential character. The exploration of our universe might begin with the idea that we are not alone nor unrelated to the group around us. The inter-connectedness of karma is great and no individual karma can be created in a vacuum.
I wish you to realize something of significance and that is that the soul of any form of life is inseparable from any other soul. It is this realization that will place you in a position of real awareness of causation. The individualized soul awareness is that much of the “group soul” awareness that one is capable of apperceiving.
The “group soul” awareness is that much of the One Soul that the group is capable to be aware of or cognizing.
The One Soul awareness is that much of the Cosmic Soul that the Solar System Soul is capable of cognizing.
It is the group soul that gives us our incarnational personality characteristics in terms of substance resonance & karmic potential.
The group soul being that of an oversoul in effect in all cases but can be defined as the group soul if being integrated as a soul in incarnation.
What does this last sentence mean? It means that once one is able to cognize themselves as a soul and further cognize themselves as the group they are able to distinguish the following: (7)
- The purpose for which the group soul exists in respect to their own purpose.
- The nature and characteristics of the makeup of the group soul.
- The reasons one is identified with the group soul as a soul.
- There are several reasons why group souls form organizational patterns: (3)
- They form them by resonance—like attracts like.
- They form them for pre-meditative reasons.
- They form them by default of definition.
- All other human beings’ relationship to their individual and group souls.
- All possible organizational degree of existing group souls related to the planet.
- All possible organizational degree of existing group souls on other planets.
All group souls have three things in common:
- They are organized by the Divine Soul or Soul on its own plane.
- They all are available to reject those souls not in line with their intentions.
- They all are available to humanity for service-related needs and purpose.
The group soul is that grouping with which an individual soul is an extension of in terms of either grouped point in evolution, grouped soul status, and spiritually or better yet triadally based on three factors.
If we speak of oversouls then individual soul related groupings are based upon other factors, other than Ray, and it is not my intent to explore this herein.
- On the factor of Astrological Alignments
- On the factor of Group Service Potential
- On the factor of Decisions of the Divine Soul and thus Lord.
In each of the above cases there is great flexibility and movement if the soul unit is advanced.
There comes a time in all souls’ lives when they must sacrifice the gains of the past for the future and with each gain there will eventually be an ultimate sacrifice. Souls are in reality no different than human personality units and all characteristics, qualities, gifts, alignments, etc. are eventually replaced for greater ones. There also comes a time when each of us on the path must make the decision whether this life or some future life we will be available for group service requiring the relinquishing of those gains not useful to the group life.
For each of us there are great opportunities here at this time in human history and for various reasons. The significant one is that Sanat Kumara has successfully demonstrated His ability to unfold His Soul’s intents thus He has secured the adequate Grace to rearrange His substance in alignment with His purpose. Once our soul’s intents are known and beginning is made then grace too will shower us with its spirit blessings.
If accepted or working disciples, there has been attained a certain soul status necessary to undertake our service agenda and it is this soul status that needs to be always placed before our eyes, hearts, and minds.
Soul status can be understood to be altered according to the nature of the following three categories (see also an earlier post “Some Thoughts on Soul Status.”:
- Necessary group and individual karma relinquished. 68
- Necessary capacities to carry out our group service agenda. 120
- Necessary environmental integration or form creation objectives. (12)
(Note: All of these above requirements indicated, by the number after the three categories, need be fulfilled to successfully instill the necessary qualities needed by the Author for his next level of soul status expansion.)
Why is soul status so important? For two reasons mainly, first is that it permits us to more fully shoulder responsibility for various (sub-ashramic) purposes; and secondly, it permits us to manifest our vision as a soul. Once you are able to define your unique requirements and demonstrate them correctly you will be in a position to function as part of a group consciously and also correctly.
Let me explain more in a different way. Each soul by nature has succeeded in creating a set of ultimate values. These ultimate values are such that they represent the perfection of its contemplation upon LIFE and the purpose for their life upon this planet. Each of these souls has over time been growing closer to themselves as spirit and it is spirit that provides for each of their unique contributions they can make to the planet.
The essence of this is that once we realize the nature of our unique contribution as spirit we are able to be integrated into the Hierarchy and secondly into a particular sub-ashram that resonates with our soul’s ultimate values. Soul status is both a way to share in the Work and also in the Plan.
The organizing of the disciple’s mind is necessary for the acquiring of soul status necessary to become a supported disciple working for humanity in respect to the plan. This organization is a necessary part of the integration into the ashram and is comprised of twelve working disciple related real needs:
- The first need is to organize their combined personality and soul minds in accordance with the service group they intend to integrate into.
- The second need is to complete their initiatory training.
- The third need is to demonstrate their occult gifts needed for service.
- The next need is for them to demonstrate their continuity of consciousness with sub-ashram.
- The next need is for them to demonstrate their continuity of consciousness with the master.
- The next real need if preparing for the 4th initiation is to demonstrate their continuity of consciousness to buddhic awareness or Pure Reason.
- The next real need if preparing for the 5th initiation is to demonstrate continuity of consciousness of atmic awareness or Pure Self.
- The next real need if preparing for the higher initiations is to develop continuity of consciousness of monadic Livingness.
- The next real need if preparing for the higher initiations is to develop continuity of consciousness of Shamballic Livingness.
- The next real need if preparing for the higher initiations is to develop continuity of consciousness of Cosmic Etheric Plane as a Unit.
- The next real need if preparing for the higher initiations is to develop continuity of consciousness of Venus’s Spiritual Hierarchy.
- The next real need if preparing for the higher initiations is to develop continuity of consciousness of Solar Hierarchy.
All manners of humanity who now dwell upon this planet has six aspects in common:
- They have in common historically several types of conditioning. 60
- They have in common certain human or karmic experiences. 16
- They have in common certain soul characteristics. 12
- They have in common certain lunar natures.6
- They have in common basic spiritual natures. 12
- They have in common certain ultimate purposes. 4
Each of these above can be analyzed from infinite points of view but these are denoted here to demonstrate things we take for granted and really as a culture never really use in defining our connectedness.
The purpose of this discussion has two basic objectives. First it is to stimulate your minds into wondering about the real nature of Hierarchy and secondly it is to give you more insight into the way hierarchy can be approached.
Furthermore, Hierarchy is not a fixed place nor is it situated in some area of god’s body.
- It is first of all a state of consciousness.
- Next it is a state of being.
- Next, it is a vibration.
- Next, it is regarded as not being separated from the other chains, rounds, globes of the earth’s planetary scheme.
- Next, it is considered to be capable of being in several dimensions at the same time.
- Next, it is capable of being at the same time planetary, solar, and cosmically aware.
For all of us the Hierarchy is that salvaging and nurturing force required by us to find ourselves. It is also that force that provides for humanity the ability to unfold it’s cultures and civilizations according to some Plan held by divinity.
[Would like to simplistically explain a few terms. (6)
One Plan: (3)
- The One Plan is that aspect of the One Purpose of Sanat Kumara that can be potentially organized in Substance.
- It also represents those resources that are both required and used by members of Hierarchy.
- It is also a reservoir of Energy which can be tapped into for use by members of Hierarchy in respect to the One Work.
Working Disciple: Those souls or accepted disciples who both are aware of their part in the One Plan and also aware of the Ashram while in body.
Cosmic Logos: Depicts an organized cosmic Being which our solar system is an organized and functional part of.
Sub-Ashram:
- All hierarchical ashrams are composed of sub-ashrams.
- Each sub-ashram has at its center a centralized group of Adepts.
- Each sub-ashram is organized according to three sets of mandates: the One Plan; the Hierarchy; and the Christ.
Grace:
- Is the service reaction to one’s awareness of their part in the One Plan.
- It also represents the integration of the part within the whole.
- It is also the outcome of one’s realization of what they are required to do next in terms of the greatest good of the group life.]
