1|00:00:12|360|00:00:18|660Hello everybody, and welcome. This is our 2|00:00:20|620|00:00:27|88015th esoteric astrology adventure, and we 3|00:00:27|880|00:00:31|480are beginning with the Creative 4|00:00:31|480|00:00:35|880Hierarchies. I ran into a little mishap, 5|00:00:36|060|00:00:39|580as you know. I had to do two versions of 6|00:00:40|400|00:00:43|080esoteric astrology adventure number 14. 7|00:00:43|520|00:00:45|900In a way they're quite different, so 8|00:00:45|900|00:00:47|480different information will be gathered 9|00:00:47|480|00:00:51|200on each one, but one of them does have 10|00:00:51|200|00:00:56|720the video. And let's just check; yes, this 11|00:00:56|720|00:00:57|680is showing the screen. 12|00:00:58|460|00:01:02|980Okay, we are entering that interesting 13|00:01:02|980|00:01:04|420and difficult subject called the 14|00:01:04|420|00:01:09|540Creative Hierarchies. At the end of EAA— 15|00:01:09|540|00:01:14|280esoteric astrology adventure number 14—I 16|00:01:14|280|00:01:18|120did discuss the Creative Hierarchies a 17|00:01:18|120|00:01:21|020little bit, but I shall continue now as 18|00:01:21|020|00:01:25|460if beginning the subject. The Tibetan 19|00:01:25|460|00:01:28|140says: It might here be appropriate if I 20|00:01:28|140|00:01:31|820interpolated a chart or a tabulation which 21|00:01:31|820|00:01:34|460may be found suggestive of some of these 22|00:01:34|460|00:01:37|260interlocking energies EA, p.32 —and here he 23|00:01:37|260|00:01:40|980describes how the energies work—which 24|00:01:40|980|00:01:46|240play through, traverse, return, stimulate 25|00:01:46|540|00:01:49|780and energise every part of our solar 26|00:01:49|780|00:01:55|280system. EA, p.32 We have energies, dynamic energies, 27|00:01:55|280|00:02:00|100flowing and animating all aspects of our 28|00:02:00|100|00:02:05|740solar system. They only evoke conscious 29|00:02:05|740|00:02:09|220response where the vehicle of expression 30|00:02:09|220|00:02:12|500and of response is adequate to the 31|00:02:12|500|00:02:17|180impact, and this statement is true of the 32|00:02:17|180|00:02:19|800solar Logos, the planetary Logoi, and of 33|00:02:19|800|00:02:25|140all forms in the all kingdoms34|00:02:25|140|00:02:27|600 upon our planet. EA, p.32 So it is 35|00:02:27|600|00:02:30|380possible that energies can be so refined 36|00:02:30|380|00:02:32|740that even a solar Logos or planetary 37|00:02:32|740|00:02:35|900Logos may be unaware of such energies. 38|00:02:36|260|00:02:41|260Remember that a solar Logos is to some 39|00:02:41|260|00:02:49|440lives as a crystal is to a human being. 40|00:02:51|720|00:02:54|960So—and I suppose to some other lives— 41|00:02:54|960|00:02:58|920even as an atom is, or even as a subatomic 42|00:02:58|920|00:03:04|040particle. So just as the tiny, microscopic 43|00:03:04|040|00:03:08|660lives within our own system cannot 44|00:03:10|820|00:03:13|020consciously register the kinds of 45|00:03:13|020|00:03:16|300energies which we, in a high moment of 46|00:03:16|300|00:03:19|900meditation, might touch, so it is even with 47|00:03:19|900|00:03:22|960the planetary and solar Logoi in relation 48|00:03:22|960|00:03:27|260to registering consciously certain very, 49|00:03:27|260|00:03:31|200very high cosmic energies. There will be 50|00:03:31|200|00:03:32|980reaction, however, but we're talking about 51|00:03:32|980|00:03:36|300conscious registration. D.K. goes on on 52|00:03:36|300|00:03:39|240page 33: 53|00:03:40|060|00:03:42|740Unconscious reaction will of course exist, 54|00:03:42|740|00:03:46|540but it will be on a general or mass 55|00:03:46|540|00:03:51|120scale, and much of it pours through to us 56|00:03:51|120|00:03:54|060from these distant constellations, via 57|00:03:54|060|00:03:57|320the fifth Creative Hierarchy. EA, p.33 Now this 58|00:03:57|320|00:04:02|140fifth Creative Hierarchy is an almost 59|00:04:02|140|00:04:04|900liberated Hierarchy. It is almost focused 60|00:04:04|900|00:04:07|940on the cosmic astral plane, but does 61|00:04:07|940|00:04:11|540still seem to have some degree of 62|00:04:11|540|00:04:13|800connection with the cosmic physical 63|00:04:13|800|00:04:17|760plane. We have to wonder whether the 64|00:04:17|760|00:04:20|980system of initiation for these 65|00:04:20|980|00:04:24|400particular hierarchies is the same as 66|00:04:24|400|00:04:27|360for humanity. We know that at the ninth 67|00:04:27|360|00:04:30|920initiation, the member of the fourth 68|00:04:30|920|00:04:33|900Creative Hierarchy—the human hierarchy— 69|00:04:35|800|00:04:39|640refuses contact, any further contact with 70|00:04:39|640|00:04:41|680the cosmic physical plane, and is 71|00:04:42|460|00:04:44|800liberated onto the cosmic astral plane. 72|00:04:44|940|00:04:48|240We have to wonder then whether this 73|00:04:48|240|00:04:51|360fifth Creative Hierarchy has passed its 74|00:04:52|680|00:04:56|080ninth initiation, whether that initiation 75|00:04:56|080|00:05:00|680is similar to that of the ninth 76|00:05:00|680|00:05:03|760initiation for a member of the fourth, or 77|00:05:03|760|00:05:06|740human, Creative Hierarchy. In any case, 78|00:05:06|740|00:05:10|560they are not yet in a totally liberated 79|00:05:10|560|00:05:17|540state. So, but there are very, very high 80|00:05:17|540|00:05:22|000energies which can reach humanity en 81|00:05:22|000|00:05:28|400masse, pouring through the fifth—almost 82|00:05:28|400|00:05:30|160liberated—Creative Hierarchy. This is 83|00:05:30|160|00:05:32|060different, of course, from the fifth 84|00:05:32|060|00:05:36|360Hierarchy. Let's see how can I do this, 85|00:05:37|080|00:05:41|320from the fifth Hierarchy of the 86|00:05:41|320|00:05:44|840liberated, of the manifested kind. Here is 87|00:05:44|840|00:05:47|360the hierarchy of solar Angels. Its 88|00:05:47|360|00:05:52|980number is also number five, but it is a 89|00:05:52|980|00:05:56|900fifth manifested Creative Hierarchy and 90|00:05:56|900|00:06:02|100not the fifth unmanifested. In other 91|00:06:02|100|00:06:03|720words, unmanifested on the cosmic 92|00:06:03|720|00:06:06|680physical plane, that higher one which is 93|00:06:06|680|00:06:10|120a prototype of this tenth or fifth 94|00:06:10|120|00:06:12|960Creative Hierarchy of solar Angels is 95|00:06:12|960|00:06:15|520the one of which we are speaking. 96|00:06:17|800|00:06:21|100Okay, so this fifth Creative Hierarchy 97|00:06:21|100|00:06:26|180apparently is a conduit to many lives on 98|00:06:26|180|00:06:31|640the cosmic physical plane of great and 99|00:06:31|640|00:06:34|740high energies. Just the way the fifth 100|00:06:34|740|00:06:37|000manifested Creative Hierarchy of solar 101|00:06:37|000|00:06:41|600angels conveys to man much that he might 102|00:06:41|600|00:06:46|440not otherwise touch—many solar energies, 103|00:06:46|440|00:06:49|820because we do want to remember that the 104|00:06:49|820|00:06:55|160solar Angels, or solar Pitris, are 105|00:06:55|160|00:06:59|020members of the council of the Solar 106|00:06:59|020|00:07:03|460Logos—the council within the Sun, as it 107|00:07:03|460|00:07:08|620were. This Hierarchy, EA, p.33 the fifth 108|00:07:08|620|00:07:10|900so-called unmanifested, or nearly 109|00:07:10|900|00:07:14|660liberated Creative Hierarchy, EA, p.33being on 110|00:07:14|660|00:07:16|980the verge of liberation, EA, p.33—that is, onto the 111|00:07:16|980|00:07:21|380cosmic astral plane, onto the cosmic 112|00:07:21|380|00:07:24|820astral plane—is to be found on the 113|00:07:24|820|00:07:27|240intellectual level of consciousness. Now 114|00:07:27|240|00:07:29|040that word “intellectual” is interesting 115|00:07:29|040|00:07:31|620because it doesn't simply mean that 116|00:07:31|620|00:07:35|460which pertains to the concrete mind of 117|00:07:35|460|00:07:39|460man. The Neoplatonists considered the 118|00:07:39|460|00:07:43|040word “intellectual” as penetrating into 119|00:07:43|040|00:07:47|400the intuition and to be of a much deeper 120|00:07:47|400|00:07:53|540nature than ratiocination—pure, simple 121|00:07:53|540|00:07:57|940reasoning process. So the number five has 122|00:07:57|940|00:07:59|260to do with the intellect, but I do 123|00:07:59|260|00:08:01|600believe we are talking about receptivity 124|00:08:01|600|00:08:05|520to the fifth cosmic level. This is 125|00:08:05|520|00:08:09|180hierarchy number five, and there is a 126|00:08:09|180|00:08:15|020fifth level of the cosmic planes. Let's 127|00:08:15|020|00:08:18|400see if we can get there. We have… yes, 128|00:08:18|640|00:08:27|800coming… yes, this would be it, and we see 129|00:08:27|800|00:08:36|480that the fifth level of the super cosmic 130|00:08:36|480|00:08:42|040planes—super cosmic physical plane—is 131|00:08:42|040|00:08:45|420the fifth cosmic plane, and that might be 132|00:08:45|420|00:08:49|060called “intellectual” in the cosmic sense. 133|00:08:50|240|00:08:55|020Okay, now we will go back here to the 134|00:08:55|020|00:08:59|040table of hierarchies, as that's what we'll 135|00:08:59|040|00:09:06|460be discussing primarily. This 136|00:09:06|460|00:09:08|500Hierarchy, beings on the verge of 137|00:09:08|900|00:09:11|460liberation, is to be found on the 138|00:09:11|460|00:09:14|940intellectual level of consciousness EA, p.33 139|00:09:15|640|00:09:20|860that is, let us say, with connection to 140|00:09:20|860|00:09:25|140the fifth cosmic plane. If the Buddha, who 141|00:09:25|140|00:09:27|920was a member of the fourth Creative 142|00:09:27|920|00:09:33|500Hierarchy—much lower, the fourth or ninth 143|00:09:33|500|00:09:36|600Creative Hierarchy—much lower than these 144|00:09:36|600|00:09:38|540lives, could touch the cosmic mental 145|00:09:38|540|00:09:44|380plane in a great act of penetrating 146|00:09:44|380|00:09:47|040consciousness, then it is certainly 147|00:09:47|040|00:09:48|500possible for these much higher 148|00:09:48|500|00:09:52|440hierarchies to be able to bring through 149|00:09:52|440|00:09:57|400something of that energy on the cosmic 150|00:09:57|400|00:10:00|640mental plane whereon can be found the 151|00:10:00|640|00:10:05|420origin of the solar angels. They are 152|00:10:05|420|00:10:07|220related to the cosmic mental plane, and 153|00:10:07|220|00:10:10|180they are still lower hierarchy than this 154|00:10:10|180|00:10:14|220one which serves as the prototype for 155|00:10:14|220|00:10:17|900the solar Angels. So it can be found on 156|00:10:17|900|00:10:19|280the intellectual level of consciousness 157|00:10:19|280|00:10:22|080and can, therefore, be used as a focal 158|00:10:22|080|00:10:26|480point and a transmitter of the higher 159|00:10:26|480|00:10:28|420energies to our solar system and to the 160|00:10:28|420|00:10:32|020planet. EA, p.33 And remember that when we talk 161|00:10:32|020|00:10:37|540about solar system, a solar system is 162|00:10:37|540|00:10:41|520found on the cosmic physical plane, which 163|00:10:41|520|00:10:43|200includes, of course, the cosmic etheric 164|00:10:43|200|00:10:47|640levels. When we reach the astral body of 165|00:10:47|640|00:10:49|320the solar Logos and the mental body and 166|00:10:49|320|00:10:54|740so forth, we no longer call those 167|00:10:54|740|00:10:57|860dimensions of his life the solar system. 168|00:10:59|000|00:11:02|180If you make a careful study of the chart 169|00:11:02|180|00:11:04|140of the twelve Creative Hierarchies, 170|00:11:04|140|00:11:07|520page 34, you will note that this 171|00:11:07|520|00:11:13|020Hierarchy is influencing, and is 172|00:11:13|020|00:11:16|480influenced by, the seventh Ray of Magical 173|00:11:16|480|00:11:19|080Order and of Ceremonial Organisation. EA, p.33 Note 174|00:11:19|080|00:11:23|440those words: normally we hear the ray 175|00:11:23|440|00:11:25|540of ceremonial magic and the ray of 176|00:11:25|540|00:11:30|000order, but here it is magic and order 177|00:11:30|000|00:11:34|120are put together, which is a certain type 178|00:11:34|120|00:11:37|980of arrangement or relationship which has 179|00:11:37|980|00:11:44|160the power to invoke and thus evoke 180|00:11:44|160|00:11:47|160higher archetypal patterns which flow 181|00:11:47|160|00:11:52|880from the highest to the lowest. Now, if we 182|00:11:52|880|00:11:57|640look at the table of unmanifested 183|00:11:57|640|00:12:03|240Creative Hierarchies, we will 184|00:12:03|840|00:12:11|220notice that the seventh ray is indeed 185|00:12:11|220|00:12:15|840present. It is the fifth, but is related 186|00:12:15|840|00:12:19|480to the seventh ray. It is influenced by a 187|00:12:19|480|00:12:21|180higher type of seventh ray and 188|00:12:21|180|00:12:24|600apparently has an influence upon the 189|00:12:24|600|00:12:28|420manifestation of the seventh ray upon 190|00:12:28|420|00:12:32|340the cosmic mental plane. 191|00:12:32|560|00:12:35|540No, I'm sorry, excuse me. Cosmic physical 192|00:12:35|540|00:12:39|420plane. It's a hierarchy that we are told 193|00:12:39|420|00:12:42|460is veiling the Christ, and I would say 194|00:12:42|460|00:12:46|520that as the hierarchical ruler of Cancer 195|00:12:46|520|00:12:50|840is Neptune, we necessarily have to look 196|00:12:50|840|00:12:54|560for its relation, the relationship of this 197|00:12:54|560|00:12:57|460fifth hierarchy to the fifth hierarchy 198|00:12:57|460|00:13:01|100below that is ruled by Venus. So the 199|00:13:01|100|00:13:03|140fifth hierarchy above is ruled by Neptune; 200|00:13:03|280|00:13:05|080the fifth hierarchy below is ruled by 201|00:13:05|080|00:13:09|420Venus, and that is very suitable. We know 202|00:13:09|420|00:13:12|920that Neptune is considered to be the 203|00:13:12|920|00:13:16|700higher octave of Venus, and when the time 204|00:13:16|700|00:13:21|280of absorption comes at the end of our 205|00:13:21|280|00:13:24|920solar system, Venus—the inner principles 206|00:13:24|920|00:13:28|400of Venus—will be absorbed and 207|00:13:28|400|00:13:31|740synthesized into the synthesizing planet 208|00:13:31|740|00:13:36|040Neptune. Interesting that this hierarchy 209|00:13:36|040|00:13:38|140has so much to do with manifestation, as 210|00:13:38|140|00:13:41|160we would suspect, because Cancer 211|00:13:41|160|00:13:43|080transmits the third ray and the seventh 212|00:13:43|080|00:13:48|160ray, which are two rays of manifestation. 213|00:13:48|420|00:13:50|160The third ray being the ray of 214|00:13:50|160|00:13:52|540manifestation in relation to the rays of 215|00:13:52|540|00:13:55|760aspect, and the seventh ray being the ray 216|00:13:55|760|00:13:58|740of manifestation in relation to the rays 217|00:13:58|740|00:14:01|360of attribute, and indeed in relation to 218|00:14:01|360|00:14:04|060all the rays. So we have a peculiar 219|00:14:04|840|00:14:08|960situation here in which the ruler Neptune, 220|00:14:08|960|00:14:10|900which is usually an influence which 221|00:14:10|900|00:14:14|980lifts up and out, is, through the 222|00:14:14|980|00:14:18|080principle of desire which it rules, 223|00:14:18|780|00:14:22|440creating the incentive toward 224|00:14:22|440|00:14:26|720manifestation on the cosmic physical 225|00:14:26|720|00:14:28|540plane. You know, when we desire something 226|00:14:28|540|00:14:32|420strongly enough—and Neptune does in part 227|00:14:32|420|00:14:36|160rule our solar plexus—it is already on 228|00:14:36|160|00:14:39|940its way into manifestation. So although 229|00:14:39|940|00:14:42|500Neptune could be involved in what we 230|00:14:42|500|00:14:45|720would call lifting this particular 231|00:14:45|720|00:14:48|120hierarchy up onto the cosmic astral plane, 232|00:14:48|960|00:14:52|000which I think has a close relationship 233|00:14:52|000|00:14:58|520to Neptune—Varuna is a lord of the 234|00:14:59|480|00:15:04|540astral body of the planetary Logos and 235|00:15:04|540|00:15:08|020has a relationship with some higher 236|00:15:09|700|00:15:14|600cosmic astral lords. All of these cosmic 237|00:15:14|600|00:15:17|800astral lords have either a Neptunian 238|00:15:17|800|00:15:20|560origin or a relationship to the planet 239|00:15:20|560|00:15:25|080Neptune. So Neptune is raising the lives 240|00:15:25|080|00:15:27|220of this fifth creative hierarchy up 241|00:15:27|220|00:15:28|820onto the cosmic astral plane, but at the 242|00:15:28|820|00:15:31|660same time producing that type of wish 243|00:15:31|660|00:15:35|000life or desire which seeks manifestation 244|00:15:35|000|00:15:39|640on the cosmic physical plane. So we 245|00:15:39|640|00:15:42|560see sort of an in-between status for 246|00:15:42|560|00:15:45|800this particular Creative Hierarchy. Now, 247|00:15:45|800|00:15:47|940you know we can say a few things about 248|00:15:47|940|00:15:49|640these hierarchies based on what the 249|00:15:49|640|00:15:53|580Tibetan has given us. After all, what would 250|00:15:53|580|00:15:55|800we know about them unless the 251|00:15:55|800|00:15:57|900Trans-Himalayan Brotherhood had made 252|00:15:57|900|00:16:02|120this available to us through Blavatsky 253|00:16:02|120|00:16:04|960and Bailey and through the good offices 254|00:16:04|960|00:16:09|220of the Tibetan who is representing that 255|00:16:10|600|00:16:14|120quantity of esoteric knowledge which he 256|00:16:14|120|00:16:16|800has been given permission to release. 257|00:16:18|420|00:16:21|160Okay, so this hierarchy is influencing 258|00:16:21|160|00:16:23|820and influenced by the seventh ray of 259|00:16:23|820|00:16:25|380magical order and ceremonial 260|00:16:25|380|00:16:27|360organization. When you want to do 261|00:16:27|360|00:16:30|980ceremony, you know you find that all the 262|00:16:30|980|00:16:35|660elements which are participating in that 263|00:16:35|660|00:16:37|920ceremony, including the people, have to be 264|00:16:37|920|00:16:42|140arranged in a particular manner if the 265|00:16:42|140|00:16:47|840ceremony is to be truly evocative of the 266|00:16:47|840|00:16:50|300descending energies. The basic function 267|00:16:50|300|00:16:53|160of this ray is to relate spirit and matter EA, p.33 268|00:16:53|640|00:16:56|100We know the word of power for the seventh 269|00:16:56|100|00:17:01|860ray is “the highest and the lowest meet 270|00:17:01|860|00:17:05|620and produce the manifested form. EA, p.33 and we 271|00:17:05|620|00:17:09|140have here Cancer as the ruler of this 272|00:17:09|140|00:17:11|940hierarchy—of course much involved in 273|00:17:11|940|00:17:16|360form building, creating a vessel for the 274|00:17:16|360|00:17:19|520containment of higher energies. So this 275|00:17:19|520|00:17:21|700hierarchy is very important in producing 276|00:17:21|700|00:17:24|580manifested forms on the cosmic 277|00:17:24|580|00:17:28|400physical plane. In a way, everything on 278|00:17:28|400|00:17:30|600the cosmic physical plane is a 279|00:17:32|660|00:17:35|320manifested form. Normally, when we think 280|00:17:35|320|00:17:39|280of phenomena or manifestation, we think 281|00:17:39|280|00:17:44|620of those forms which appear on the dense 282|00:17:44|620|00:17:46|720levels—the dense cosmic levels which are 283|00:17:46|720|00:17:48|860the mental, astral and physical plane—but 284|00:17:48|860|00:17:52|700there are etheric forms indeed, because 285|00:17:52|700|00:17:54|560the cosmic physical plane is cosmically 286|00:17:54|560|00:17:59|000physical, and so we also have to be 287|00:17:59|000|00:18:01|240aware that the cosmic ethers are planes 288|00:18:01|240|00:18:05|000of form as well. The sign of the zodiac 289|00:18:05|000|00:18:08|320with which it is closely 290|00:18:08|320|00:18:10|000connected is that of Cancer, the Crab, 291|00:18:10|000|00:18:12|760which is a mass sign EA, p.33 —it is a cardinal 292|00:18:12|760|00:18:15|320sign with a mass effect, D.K. tells us. 293|00:18:15|760|00:18:21|860A cardinal sign with a mass effect, meaning 294|00:18:21|860|00:18:23|940it affects not so much individuals as 295|00:18:23|940|00:18:26|100aggregations of individuals, and 296|00:18:26|100|00:18:28|480one of the “gates” into manifested life. EA, p.33 297|00:18:28|680|00:18:33|180Well, the gate into life of those who 298|00:18:33|180|00:18:35|340must know death. I think this is 299|00:18:35|340|00:18:38|580sometimes how Cancer is described, and 300|00:18:38|580|00:18:41|360Capricorn is described as the gate into 301|00:18:41|360|00:18:46|120life of those who know no death. But in a 302|00:18:46|120|00:18:49|620way, this is a dual gate, this Cancer gate— 303|00:18:49|620|00:18:52|540it certainly is bringing down cosmic 304|00:18:52|540|00:18:55|400astral desire into manifestation, but at 305|00:18:55|400|00:18:58|200the same time, since it is in process of 306|00:18:58|200|00:19:01|540being liberated from the cosmic physical 307|00:19:01|540|00:19:04|580plane, and since Neptune—a planet of 308|00:19:06|900|00:19:10|700ascending liberation, a planet which is so 309|00:19:10|700|00:19:15|920subtle that it eludes the grip of form 310|00:19:15|920|00:19:19|980when it chooses to—we see that the gate 311|00:19:19|980|00:19:22|520of Cancer in this particular case might 312|00:19:22|520|00:19:25|240operate in both ways: both down into the 313|00:19:25|240|00:19:27|200cosmic physical plane and the gate out 314|00:19:27|200|00:19:28|900of the cosmic physical plane onto the 315|00:19:28|900|00:19:29|980cosmic astral plane. 316|00:19:31|920|00:19:34|380Okay, anyway, that's a speculation. Now 317|00:19:34|380|00:19:39|320that's as far as we got in version one 318|00:19:39|320|00:19:42|120of esoteric astrology adventure number 319|00:19:42|120|00:19:48|70014. At that time, I realized that we had a 320|00:19:48|700|00:19:52|020problem and that nothing was being shown 321|00:19:52|020|00:19:57|240on the screen. But okay, that can 322|00:19:57|240|00:19:59|160happen where there are many technical 323|00:19:59|740|00:20:02|860things to deal with. So now we move on, 324|00:20:04|860|00:20:07|080and he says The following information 325|00:20:07|080|00:20:10|180anent the Hierarchies may prove useful. It326|00:20:10|180|00:20:11|580 has been gathered from various 327|00:20:11|580|00:20:14|280sources. EA, p.33 We're not told which sources 328|00:20:14|280|00:20:16|000they are, and maybe the Tibetan 329|00:20:16|000|00:20:18|980supervised the gathering. Probably some 330|00:20:18|980|00:20:21|380of it has certainly been from cosmic 331|00:20:21|380|00:20:27|160fire and from Blavatsky's work, in which 332|00:20:27|160|00:20:29|840the Tibetan participated very strongly, 333|00:20:29|840|00:20:34|140giving H.P.B. a lot of the information that 334|00:20:34|140|00:20:39|320appeared in The Secret Doctrine. 335|00:20:39|320|00:20:42|480I might here remind you that the seven 336|00:20:42|480|00:20:47|080planes of our solar system are the seven 337|00:20:47|080|00:20:51|320subplanes of the cosmic physical plane. EA, p.33 338|00:20:52|580|00:20:54|740Okay, these seven 339|00:20:54|740|00:20:58|440sub-planes are sometimes called 340|00:20:58|440|00:21:06|920solar planes and systemic planes. The 341|00:21:06|920|00:21:09|440four Creative Hierarchies which have 342|00:21:09|440|00:21:11|700achieved liberation EA, p.33—notice that even 343|00:21:11|700|00:21:18|180though it looks like we have five that 344|00:21:18|180|00:21:21|140have achieved liberation, because this 345|00:21:21|140|00:21:26|200particular diagram are now to be found focussed upon the 346|00:21:26|200|00:21:28|700cosmic astral plane; EA, p.33 only really 347|00:21:28|700|00:21:32|240four have achieved liberation, and that 348|00:21:32|240|00:21:35|820this fifth unmanifested hierarchy, or 349|00:21:35|820|00:21:37|940partially manifested hierarchy, is not 350|00:21:37|940|00:21:40|380entirely liberated onto the cosmic 351|00:21:40|380|00:21:42|240astral plane. Well, we talk about the 352|00:21:42|240|00:21:46|120cosmic astral plane—really what do we 353|00:21:46|120|00:21:50|520mean? You know, we are barely conscious on 354|00:21:50|520|00:21:53|080all levels of our astral plane. We feel, 355|00:21:53|080|00:21:56|820of course, but the question is: do we see? 356|00:21:58|140|00:22:00|660So, you know, it remains speculative, but 357|00:22:00|660|00:22:05|660in the Path of Magnetic Work—which is one 358|00:22:05|660|00:22:08|360of the seven or nine paths out of our 359|00:22:08|360|00:22:13|180solar system on the way of higher 360|00:22:13|180|00:22:16|340evolution—this Path of Magnetic Work has 361|00:22:16|340|00:22:18|520a destination of the cosmic astral plane, 362|00:22:18|520|00:22:24|580and there it is much discussed what is 363|00:22:24|580|00:22:27|640the nature of the pure love which is 364|00:22:27|640|00:22:30|800found on the cosmic astral plane, even 365|00:22:30|800|00:22:34|780though that cosmic astral plane is, 366|00:22:34|780|00:22:40|060strangely, in a cosmic sense, the home of 367|00:22:40|060|00:22:45|600cosmic evil, just as our own astral plane 368|00:22:45|600|00:22:48|880in a location that Master Morya calls 369|00:22:48|880|00:22:56|380“Mara Kara” is the home of systemic evil 370|00:22:56|380|00:23:01|420or planetary evil. And we all remember 371|00:23:01|420|00:23:04|840that the Buddha fought against the 372|00:23:04|840|00:23:10|880scorpionic forces of Mara. Anyway, the 373|00:23:10|880|00:23:12|420four creative hierarchies which have 374|00:23:12|420|00:23:14|340achieved liberation are now to be found 375|00:23:14|340|00:23:16|940focused upon the cosmic astral plane. 376|00:23:16|940|00:23:20|140Whatever consciousness they have is 377|00:23:20|140|00:23:22|720primarily focused there, hence their 378|00:23:22|720|00:23:24|460potency even when out of manifestation. EA, p.33 379|00:23:24|460|00:23:28|040And what is the implication here? That in 380|00:23:28|040|00:23:32|080our solar system, anything astral is 381|00:23:32|080|00:23:36|000potent because our Solar Logos is 382|00:23:36|000|00:23:40|520astrally polarized. It is his most 383|00:23:40|520|00:23:44|480integrated vehicle of expression. 384|00:23:44|660|00:23:47|140We've not been given the name of the 385|00:23:48|100|00:23:52|000Lord who rules the astral body of the 386|00:23:52|000|00:23:55|480Solar Logos. We have been given the name 387|00:23:55|480|00:23:57|660of the Lord who rules the astral body of 388|00:23:57|660|00:24:00|620the Planetary Logos, and that Lord is 389|00:24:00|620|00:24:03|220Varuna. We're told that he is the most 390|00:24:03|220|00:24:08|180powerful Lord, perhaps because of the 391|00:24:08|180|00:24:11|500second-ray nature of our Planetary Logos, 392|00:24:11|500|00:24:15|660but more because of the astral-Buddhic 393|00:24:15|660|00:24:18|180polarization of our Solar Logos. It is an 394|00:24:18|180|00:24:20|520integrated astral body, and hence, even we 395|00:24:20|520|00:24:23|820human beings, way down here, have among 396|00:24:23|820|00:24:26|060our personality vehicles, as the most 397|00:24:26|060|00:24:30|840potent vehicle, the astral vehicle. The 398|00:24:30|840|00:24:35|140fifth Creative Hierarchy EA, p.33 not yet on the 399|00:24:35|140|00:24:39|680cosmic astral plane, exists on the 400|00:24:39|680|00:24:41|800highest etheric level EA, p.33 Now that's so 401|00:24:41|800|00:24:47|020interesting, because this is the Logoic 402|00:24:47|020|00:24:51|760level and the Sea of Fire. And 403|00:24:51|760|00:24:56|840interestingly enough, Neptune is called 404|00:24:56|840|00:25:00|120something of this nature—I hope it's 405|00:25:00|340|00:25:04|640almost correct—repository of the solar 406|00:25:04|640|00:25:11|820flames. Yes, and so the Sea of Fire and 407|00:25:11|820|00:25:14|800the repository of the solar flames may 408|00:25:14|800|00:25:20|440be related. And this fifth unmanifested 409|00:25:20|440|00:25:21|880Creative Hierarchy, or partially 410|00:25:21|880|00:25:25|320manifested, exists on the levels of 411|00:25:25|320|00:25:27|380Shamballa in that, in that sense, very 412|00:25:27|380|00:25:31|960interesting, existing on the level of 413|00:25:31|960|00:25:35|700Shamballa, or at least this is where the 414|00:25:35|700|00:25:37|040Christ and the Buddha now find 415|00:25:37|040|00:25:41|600themselves, and this is where the Lord of 416|00:25:41|600|00:25:43|960the World, on whatever sub-plane of that 417|00:25:43|960|00:25:48|320Logoic plane, holds court or holds his 418|00:25:48|320|00:25:51|500counsel. And this fifth Creative Hierarchy 419|00:25:51|500|00:25:53|380will join the other four Hierarchies 420|00:25:53|380|00:25:57|260when the sixth Creative Hierarchy has 421|00:25:57|260|00:26:00|820measured up to cosmic opportunity and is 422|00:26:00|820|00:26:04|180itself nearing liberation. EA, p.33 Now, here we're 423|00:26:04|180|00:26:08|220talking about the sixth Creative 424|00:26:08|220|00:26:12|940Hierarchy, which is now the first 425|00:26:12|940|00:26:16|440manifested Creative Hierarchy ruled by 426|00:26:16|440|00:26:19|360Leo, and let us take a look at that one. 427|00:26:22|160|00:26:26|600And that is… here it is, ruled by Leo; its 428|00:26:26|600|00:26:31|580number is six when relating it to the 429|00:26:32|440|00:26:35|920five above it, but its number is also 430|00:26:36|920|00:26:40|980number one when considering its 431|00:26:40|980|00:26:43|280relationship to the cosmic physical 432|00:26:43|280|00:26:45|760plane. And if we are numbering up, it is 433|00:26:45|760|00:26:48|960also number seven. The number one doesn't 434|00:26:48|960|00:26:55|920appear to be given here… should be, but 435|00:26:55|920|00:26:59|760anyway, this first ray tells us of the 436|00:26:59|760|00:27:03|240number one, the Leo hierarchy. So the 437|00:27:03|240|00:27:11|040principle is that no life can move on to 438|00:27:11|040|00:27:17|100its next higher destined dimension until 439|00:27:18|160|00:27:21|700the lives below it are ready to move. In 440|00:27:21|700|00:27:25|500other words, one is almost replaced by a 441|00:27:25|500|00:27:29|020kind of upward pressure. Nature, we are 442|00:27:29|020|00:27:34|640told, abhors a vacuum, and if the fifth 443|00:27:34|640|00:27:36|280creative hierarchy moved on to the 444|00:27:36|280|00:27:38|060cosmic astral plane, a vacuum would be 445|00:27:38|060|00:27:41|360created. But it must be a lawful 446|00:27:41|360|00:27:45|080replacement; there would have to be a 447|00:27:45|080|00:27:50|900prepared ascent for the sixth Creative 448|00:27:50|900|00:27:56|100Hierarchy. So we are all related to each 449|00:27:56|100|00:28:01|320other, with one hand above and one hand 450|00:28:01|720|00:28:06|640below, as the magician's symbol shows us. 451|00:28:07|200|00:28:13|320And D.K. also said that… well, there is one 452|00:28:13|320|00:28:15|860member of his ashram who has not yet 453|00:28:16|910|00:28:19|420made the grade for a certain destined 454|00:28:19|420|00:28:24|680office; therefore, he himself is not free 455|00:28:24|680|00:28:27|760to move. Or was it Master K.H.? One of them 456|00:28:27|760|00:28:30|600was not free to move because a certain 457|00:28:30|600|00:28:32|600disciple, who was certainly an 458|00:28:32|600|00:28:35|520accomplished disciple, had not yet quite 459|00:28:35|520|00:28:39|140made the grade. So we have, as we attempt 460|00:28:39|140|00:28:42|700to make the grade, responsibilities to 461|00:28:42|700|00:28:45|020those above us and responsibility to 462|00:28:45|020|00:28:47|620those below us, and that the dual 463|00:28:47|620|00:28:50|800direction of occult responsibility cannot 464|00:28:50|800|00:28:53|680be evaded. So anyway, it's very 465|00:28:53|680|00:28:56|140interesting to see that this Cancerian 466|00:28:56|140|00:28:58|880hierarchy exists on the highest etheric 467|00:28:58|880|00:29:01|880levels, which are basically the highest 468|00:29:01|880|00:29:04|500part of what we have been calling 469|00:29:04|500|00:29:05|100Shamballa. 470|00:29:07|040|00:29:09|180The following is a tabulation 471|00:29:09|180|00:29:11|760showing some of the astrological 472|00:29:11|760|00:29:12|560relationships 473|00:29:14|590|00:29:16|840in connection with EA, p.33 1. The constellation of 474|00:29:16|840|00:29:19|080the Great Bear. EA, p.33 2. The Pleiades or the Seven 475|00:29:19|080|00:29:22|460Sisters. EA, p.33 3. Sirius. EA, p.33 4. The seven solar 476|00:29:22|460|00:29:26|180systems. EA, p.33 Okay, let's go here 477|00:29:26|180|00:29:29|620into the astrology book itself, just to 478|00:29:29|620|00:29:33|920make sure that nothing has been left out. 479|00:29:35|220|00:29:38|720Okay, so this was page 34, approximately, 480|00:29:39|980|00:29:42|860“Esoteric Astrology,” page 34. 481|00:29:44|080|00:29:45|860Yes, okay. 482|00:29:47|920|00:29:50|940And… okay, anyway, the following is… 483|00:29:50|940|00:29:53|460so these are the tabulations we have 484|00:29:53|460|00:29:54|240been using, 485|00:29:55|020|00:29:58|980and perhaps we should simply review them, 486|00:29:58|980|00:30:03|200not in an interpretive sense, 487|00:30:04|020|00:30:07|160but just so we get the lay of the land. 488|00:30:07|560|00:30:10|160So we see the… 489|00:30:12|080|00:30:15|300so we all read together the numbers 490|00:30:15|300|00:30:15|980involved. 491|00:30:16|800|00:30:20|540The first creative hierarchy is 492|00:30:20|540|00:30:23|700apparently on the third sub-plane of the 493|00:30:23|700|00:30:25|300cosmic astral plane; we're not given a 494|00:30:25|300|00:30:26|380name for it. 495|00:30:26|380|00:30:30|340Its ray is the third, interestingly. 496|00:30:30|340|00:30:33|360related to the sign Pisces, which, 497|00:30:34|080|00:30:36|200since water is matter, 498|00:30:37|840|00:30:39|920connects water with the third ray, the 499|00:30:39|920|00:30:40|620ray of matter. 500|00:30:41|220|00:30:43|320Its energy is that of intelligent 501|00:30:43|320|00:30:44|140substance. 502|00:30:44|140|00:30:46|920There are no comments given at numbers 503|00:30:46|920|00:30:48|160one and number twelve. 504|00:30:48|160|00:30:50|880This is—this is just, you know, I don't 505|00:30:50|880|00:30:52|200know how many of us 506|00:30:53|380|00:30:56|420have clearly focused 507|00:30:57|220|00:30:59|520on exactly what the Tibetan has put in 508|00:30:59|520|00:31:00|260these charts, 509|00:31:01|290|00:31:03|000or whether we've just sort of run our 510|00:31:03|000|00:31:04|100eyes over them, but 511|00:31:04|100|00:31:07|200it helps to 512|00:31:07|910|00:31:10|900fix our attention on these things 513|00:31:10|900|00:31:12|560so that the numbers 514|00:31:14|010|00:31:17|000make an impression upon us. And when that 515|00:31:17|000|00:31:17|900impression is made, 516|00:31:17|900|00:31:20|860the possibility of correlating the 517|00:31:20|860|00:31:21|360information 518|00:31:21|360|00:31:24|780is better than if we have simply a vague 519|00:31:24|780|00:31:25|160notion. 520|00:31:25|850|00:31:28|780The second of the liberated Creative 521|00:31:29|360|00:31:29|840Hierarchies 522|00:31:32|460|00:31:35|280is on the fourth sub- 523|00:31:35|280|00:31:37|620level sub-plane of the cosmic astral 524|00:31:37|620|00:31:38|060plane. 525|00:31:39|180|00:31:41|880Oh! It has to be this. I just thought of a 526|00:31:41|880|00:31:43|020correlation. Well, I know I'm not supposed 527|00:31:43|020|00:31:43|820to interpret here, 528|00:31:44|320|00:31:46|780but maybe when these ideas come to me— 529|00:31:47|340|00:31:48|220see, in a way, 530|00:31:51|920|00:31:53|900Earth, the planetary Logos, has been 531|00:31:53|900|00:31:55|540struggling particularly on this plane, which is 532|00:31:55|540|00:31:55|940in a way 533|00:31:55|940|00:31:57|440a plane of struggle because 534|00:31:57|440|00:31:58|780it's ruled by the fourth ray 535|00:31:59|320|00:32:01|120and by a sign of combat. 536|00:32:02|080|00:32:05|300And the unity through effort is 537|00:32:05|300|00:32:08|400achieved, and that's one of the 538|00:32:08|400|00:32:13|020major descriptors of the manner in which 539|00:32:13|020|00:32:13|980the Aries energy 540|00:32:15|880|00:32:18|360functions. So whereas we 541|00:32:18|360|00:32:21|820are destined—in our planet, our planetary 542|00:32:21|820|00:32:22|160Logos— 543|00:32:22|620|00:32:25|440to ascend to the fifth level of the 544|00:32:25|440|00:32:26|560cosmic astral plane, 545|00:32:27|200|00:32:30|700where Venus already has long been 546|00:32:30|700|00:32:31|260functioning, 547|00:32:33|580|00:32:36|600Venus is ready to ascend to the second 548|00:32:36|600|00:32:38|120level of the cosmic astral plane, which is not 549|00:32:38|120|00:32:38|580even 550|00:32:40|960|00:32:43|040delineated in this particular 551|00:32:43|040|00:32:43|800tabulation, 552|00:32:44|480|00:32:46|800although there is a theorist— 553|00:32:48|340|00:32:50|600I think a man with a very profound third 554|00:32:50|600|00:32:52|220ray—here in Finland. His name is Raimo 555|00:32:52|220|00:32:52|940Kiloharju, 556|00:32:53|900|00:32:56|900and he's written some books 557|00:32:56|900|00:33:00|920which deal with—which extrapolate and 558|00:33:00|920|00:33:01|920extend 559|00:33:04|420|00:33:07|120higher and higher hierarchies 560|00:33:07|640|00:33:10|420according to their numbers, and he does 561|00:33:10|420|00:33:11|140go on 562|00:33:11|600|00:33:14|820with the second level of the cosmic 563|00:33:14|820|00:33:15|360astral plane, 564|00:33:15|360|00:33:19|600giving it to Aquarius, and then the 565|00:33:20|000|00:33:22|080top level of the cosmic astral plane 566|00:33:22|080|00:33:23|400is given to 567|00:33:23|400|00:33:24|520Capricorn. 568|00:33:25|980|00:33:28|740He is no longer taking the reversal of 569|00:33:28|740|00:33:30|160Capricorn and Sagittarius 570|00:33:31|020|00:33:33|240as is found down here. See, normally it 571|00:33:33|240|00:33:34|240would be Scorpio, 572|00:33:34|840|00:33:37|540Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, but on 573|00:33:37|540|00:33:38|880the cosmic physical plane there's been 574|00:33:38|880|00:33:40|720this reversal of hierarchies, which is 575|00:33:40|720|00:33:41|680somewhat mysterious— 576|00:33:42|240|00:33:43|760well, not somewhat mysterious, very 577|00:33:43|760|00:33:45|360mysterious—but 578|00:33:45|360|00:33:48|400when Raimo continues his extrapolation 579|00:33:48|400|00:33:51|880of hierarchies, he no longer 580|00:33:51|880|00:33:54|820takes that reversal. He simply 581|00:33:55|320|00:33:58|240continues: so Pisces, third subplane; 582|00:33:59|920|00:34:02|500Aquarius, second; Capricorn, first; and then 583|00:34:02|500|00:34:04|400if we got onto the cosmic mental plane, 584|00:34:07|160|00:34:09|060we would find 585|00:34:09|060|00:34:11|960that Sagittarius would rule the lowest 586|00:34:11|960|00:34:13|760level of the cosmic mental plane, followed 587|00:34:13|760|00:34:15|580by Scorpio, and on and on and on, all the 588|00:34:15|580|00:34:16|620way up to the 589|00:34:17|960|00:34:20|660top of the super-cosmic 590|00:34:22|780|00:34:26|080physical plane, which we have seen. 591|00:34:26|080|00:34:29|540In the map on page 344, we'll just call 592|00:34:29|540|00:34:31|220it the super cosmic physical plane. D.K. 593|00:34:31|220|00:34:32|300doesn't really call it that, 594|00:34:32|860|00:34:35|160but that's probably what it has to be 595|00:34:35|920|00:34:38|460if there are 10 dimensions in cosmos, 596|00:34:38|460|00:34:39|280anyway. 597|00:34:40|740|00:34:42|420On the fifth level, 598|00:34:44|080|00:34:47|380also an unknown name, we have the— 599|00:34:47|380|00:34:49|580well, it's really, yeah, it is the fifth 600|00:34:49|580|00:34:51|480level down because remember two 601|00:34:51|480|00:34:54|720cosmic subplanes are not given 602|00:34:54|720|00:34:57|640a relationship. And notice the 603|00:34:57|640|00:34:58|600relationship between 604|00:34:58|600|00:35:01|480the numbers and the rays: one with three, 605|00:35:01|480|00:35:03|360of course; two with four; three with five. 606|00:35:03|360|00:35:04|680That all makes sense. 607|00:35:05|500|00:35:07|560The sign Taurus rules, 608|00:35:07|560|00:35:10|540and “light through 609|00:35:11|640|00:35:14|580knowledge” is the energy quality. And the 610|00:35:14|580|00:35:16|000number down is three, 611|00:35:16|000|00:35:18|480and the number up 612|00:35:19|600|00:35:22|640is ten. When we're dealing with a fifth 613|00:35:22|640|00:35:23|060plane, 614|00:35:23|060|00:35:24|880we're always dealing with illumination, 615|00:35:24|880|00:35:26|500so it fits to have 616|00:35:26|500|00:35:29|860Taurus there. And 617|00:35:30|720|00:35:33|660Taurus is keen on the acquisition of 618|00:35:33|660|00:35:34|140knowledge, 619|00:35:34|140|00:35:36|120and through that acquisition, the 620|00:35:36|120|00:35:37|400liberation of light. So, 621|00:35:38|320|00:35:39|780is this a— 622|00:35:39|780|00:35:44|800is this a cosmic monastic 623|00:35:45|100|00:35:47|920level of the 624|00:35:49|740|00:35:52|520cosmic astral plane? Certainly, 625|00:35:52|720|00:35:55|980a higher form of manas is influencing 626|00:35:56|540|00:35:59|500here through Taurus, the mother of 627|00:35:59|500|00:36:00|100illumination. 628|00:36:01|120|00:36:04|740Our next subplane 629|00:36:04|740|00:36:07|320is the sixth subplane of the cosmic 630|00:36:07|320|00:36:07|940astral plane, 631|00:36:08|540|00:36:12|420but it is the fourth of the 632|00:36:13|060|00:36:14|900liberated Creative Hierarchies that we 633|00:36:14|900|00:36:16|700are considering. Again, no name is given, 634|00:36:16|700|00:36:17|240but 635|00:36:17|780|00:36:20|680“desire for duality” is 636|00:36:20|680|00:36:23|360the energy involved. And so 637|00:36:24|640|00:36:27|380we can see how this would work out 638|00:36:28|100|00:36:31|240in pointing the life stream downward 639|00:36:31|240|00:36:32|880onto the cosmic physical plane 640|00:36:33|840|00:36:37|300where duality reigns 641|00:36:37|300|00:36:40|840in so many of the relationships. 642|00:36:41|840|00:36:44|880Gemini being the sign of duality, the 643|00:36:44|880|00:36:48|120sixth ray being the sign of— 644|00:36:48|120|00:36:50|620the ray of desire. So we see how 645|00:36:50|620|00:36:52|680these two are put together in “desire for 646|00:36:52|680|00:36:53|300duality.” 647|00:36:53|920|00:36:57|460It's the ninth up. Now, you know, obviously 648|00:36:57|460|00:36:58|120we can 649|00:36:58|120|00:37:01|960relate the numbers because our 650|00:37:02|890|00:37:05|100our fourth creative hierarchy— 651|00:37:06|500|00:37:10|060human—has its numbers as nine and four. 652|00:37:10|920|00:37:13|880It's the fourth up, the ninth down, 653|00:37:14|470|00:37:17|220and expresses the fourth ray. 654|00:37:17|910|00:37:21|020And this Gemini hierarchy—Gemini being 655|00:37:21|020|00:37:21|520so 656|00:37:21|520|00:37:25|140important somehow in the sending in of 657|00:37:25|140|00:37:25|980the solar angels— 658|00:37:26|600|00:37:29|860has the number four down and nine up. The 659|00:37:29|860|00:37:30|360numbers are 660|00:37:30|360|00:37:34|400very similar. So according to numbers, we 661|00:37:34|400|00:37:34|780can 662|00:37:34|780|00:37:36|780relate and interrelate 663|00:37:38|280|00:37:41|000the various liberated and 664|00:37:41|440|00:37:44|200still not liberated hierarchies. 665|00:37:45|160|00:37:47|320It says, “Hierarchy one to four 666|00:37:47|320|00:37:48|140inclusive— 667|00:37:48|140|00:37:51|680that is, 12 to nine inclusive, numbering 668|00:37:51|680|00:37:52|060up— 669|00:37:52|060|00:37:54|600have reached liberation.” That's good. 670|00:37:55|220|00:37:58|680Liberation, regarded as 671|00:37:58|680|00:38:01|440abstractions—well, they are very real on 672|00:38:01|440|00:38:02|220their own level, 673|00:38:02|900|00:38:06|200but I suppose they are not 674|00:38:07|860|00:38:09|140directly contactable 675|00:38:09|800|00:38:12|080by human consciousness at this point. And 676|00:38:12|080|00:38:12|840so that which 677|00:38:12|840|00:38:16|400is, as if it were not, though it is, 678|00:38:17|240|00:38:20|980is as an abstraction. And he deals, 679|00:38:21|780|00:38:23|440apparently, with this on his tree. There's 680|00:38:23|440|00:38:25|980some cosmic fire, page 361. 681|00:38:26|800|00:38:29|640Then we come to the 682|00:38:30|340|00:38:32|880fifth creative hierarchy, which we 683|00:38:32|880|00:38:33|680have been discussing. 684|00:38:34|620|00:38:38|100Its name is not given. Its numbers are 685|00:38:38|100|00:38:41|920five and eight. Those are mental and 686|00:38:41|920|00:38:44|060mercurial numbers, so they fit very well 687|00:38:44|060|00:38:44|920with the idea 688|00:38:45|780|00:38:48|260that it is related to the intellectual 689|00:38:48|260|00:38:49|800plane. The number of Mercury 690|00:38:49|800|00:38:51|800monadic number is five. 691|00:38:52|680|00:38:55|920I speculate that its sub-monadic ray is 692|00:38:55|920|00:38:57|640the fifth, but it is also 693|00:38:58|640|00:39:01|700the hierarchical ruler of the eighth 694|00:39:01|700|00:39:02|960sign, Scorpio, 695|00:39:02|960|00:39:05|360which is the and is the guardian at the 696|00:39:05|360|00:39:06|400eighth gate, and 697|00:39:07|300|00:39:09|160the Kundalini of… 698|00:39:12|400|00:39:14|180sponsored by, or… 699|00:39:16|120|00:39:18|660the Kundalini which… which Mercury 700|00:39:19|880|00:39:21|860is the inducing planet for 701|00:39:23|000|00:39:25|780operates… I've seen a map where there are 702|00:39:25|780|00:39:27|620these ascending and descending figure 703|00:39:27|620|00:39:28|060eights, 704|00:39:29|720|00:39:33|820and this is how the… the Kundalini rises 705|00:39:33|820|00:39:35|340and also it is 706|00:39:36|560|00:39:39|120a kind of picture of the Antakarana, 707|00:39:40|880|00:39:43|900which apparently occurs in a figure eight. 708|00:39:43|900|00:39:45|300I have an old map; it was 709|00:39:47|560|00:39:49|940drawn by some of the people in the 710|00:39:49|940|00:39:52|260earlier group of the Tibetan, and it was 711|00:39:52|260|00:39:53|340in the possession of 712|00:39:54|140|00:39:57|480of a disciple that I knew. She was the 713|00:39:57|480|00:39:59|520youngest, I guess, of all the disciples, 714|00:39:59|520|00:40:01|060and she had a lot of the material. 715|00:40:01|800|00:40:05|100They kind of gave it to her as a… 716|00:40:05|100|00:40:07|820she was kind of a repository of this 717|00:40:07|820|00:40:08|320material, 718|00:40:08|320|00:40:11|300and there the Antakarana was portrayed 719|00:40:11|300|00:40:15|580in ascending and descending figure eights. 720|00:40:16|380|00:40:19|300Maybe somewhere I can dig that up 721|00:40:19|300|00:40:22|220and show it to you. 722|00:40:24|280|00:40:27|120The… the mass life is involved here, but 723|00:40:27|120|00:40:29|520one wonders if mass life is not all 724|00:40:29|520|00:40:32|760life considered in aggregates, all life 725|00:40:32|760|00:40:34|400found upon the cosmic physical plane. 726|00:40:34|960|00:40:38|320And we've been discussing… notice that 727|00:40:38|320|00:40:41|160some of these rays are related to the 728|00:40:41|160|00:40:42|900rays which are actually transmitted 729|00:40:43|700|00:40:46|360through the signs. The seventh ray is 730|00:40:46|360|00:40:47|620transmitted through Cancer, 731|00:40:48|140|00:40:50|520but others of the rays are not 732|00:40:52|580|00:40:55|460related to the transmission coming 733|00:40:55|460|00:40:56|680through the constellations. 734|00:40:57|460|00:40:59|800Perhaps they are related to some of the 735|00:40:59|800|00:41:01|460planets which rule. For instance, the 736|00:41:01|460|00:41:02|040fifth ray 737|00:41:02|720|00:41:04|640in relation to Taurus is 738|00:41:05|300|00:41:07|740is the ray of Venus, which is one of its 739|00:41:07|740|00:41:08|080rulers. 740|00:41:08|840|00:41:11|260The fourth ray in relation to Aries is 741|00:41:11|260|00:41:12|860the ray of Mercury, 742|00:41:13|500|00:41:16|040which is one of Aries' rulers, the 743|00:41:16|040|00:41:16|940esoteric ruler. 744|00:41:17|680|00:41:19|440There are all kinds of connections here 745|00:41:19|440|00:41:20|760which one can find, but 746|00:41:20|760|00:41:23|060we need the main highway, 747|00:41:23|920|00:41:26|920as the Tibetan has said, and once that is 748|00:41:26|920|00:41:27|740somewhat clear, 749|00:41:28|920|00:41:31|580we are then at liberty 750|00:41:32|160|00:41:34|300to pursue some of the more subtle 751|00:41:34|300|00:41:34|840connections. 752|00:41:37|320|00:41:39|680The five Kumaras… 753|00:41:40|740|00:41:43|940this is to me a fairly ambiguous term. 754|00:41:43|940|00:41:45|600What is a Kumara, after all? 755|00:41:46|800|00:41:49|520There are intraplanetary Kumaras, 756|00:41:50|620|00:41:53|580and they are… they are found as 757|00:41:54|700|00:41:56|380seven lives 758|00:41:58|620|00:42:01|440within a planetary Logos, and that Kumara, 759|00:42:01|440|00:42:01|980let's say 760|00:42:01|980|00:42:05|460in our system, being the 761|00:42:05|460|00:42:08|640principal Kumara and also in a way the 762|00:42:08|640|00:42:10|140planetary Logos, or 763|00:42:10|140|00:42:12|580an emanative extension of the planetary 764|00:42:12|580|00:42:12|900Logos. 765|00:42:12|900|00:42:14|660But what about those other six 766|00:42:14|660|00:42:15|560surrounding him? 767|00:42:16|380|00:42:19|460Three of them are the Buddhas 768|00:42:19|460|00:42:23|200of Activity and three above, 769|00:42:23|660|00:42:25|560which are not manifest, are called the 770|00:42:25|560|00:42:26|240esoteric 771|00:42:27|280|00:42:29|700Kumaras. We have to wonder 772|00:42:30|820|00:42:34|420whether this table of hierarchies 773|00:42:34|420|00:42:36|920pertains to these particular 774|00:42:37|620|00:42:40|820Kumaras on our planet, or whether it has 775|00:42:40|820|00:42:41|240a more 776|00:42:41|240|00:42:44|420systemic relationship and applies to 777|00:42:44|420|00:42:45|260lives throughout 778|00:42:46|230|00:42:48|980the solar system. It might be here a 779|00:42:48|980|00:42:49|620planetary 780|00:42:50|820|00:42:53|980adaptation. We don't know, for instance, 781|00:42:53|980|00:42:55|760whether on other planets 782|00:42:56|990|00:43:00|540the solar angels would be considered 783|00:43:00|850|00:43:04|700in a position below man. This might have 784|00:43:05|230|00:43:07|800much to do with the condition on our 785|00:43:07|800|00:43:08|460particular 786|00:43:09|080|00:43:12|300planet. So how low did the 787|00:43:12|300|00:43:14|740solar angels have to descend 788|00:43:15|600|00:43:18|240on other planets? 789|00:43:19|060|00:43:21|360Because they are also active on other 790|00:43:21|360|00:43:22|360planets as well. So 791|00:43:22|360|00:43:25|720the question I'm asking here is this: A, 792|00:43:25|720|00:43:28|000are these two charts pertaining to our 793|00:43:28|000|00:43:29|020planetary Logos 794|00:43:29|480|00:43:33|140or are they pertaining to all the 795|00:43:33|140|00:43:34|500planetary Logoi 796|00:43:34|500|00:43:36|360in our particular solar system? Because 797|00:43:36|360|00:43:37|780after all, the creative 798|00:43:37|780|00:43:38|720hierarchies 799|00:43:38|720|00:43:42|400are not just planetary in scope. They are 800|00:43:42|400|00:43:44|260stimulated from the second tier of 801|00:43:44|260|00:43:46|340petals of the 21-fold 802|00:43:46|340|00:43:50|220seven-tiered egoic lotus of the solar 803|00:43:50|220|00:43:50|660Logos, 804|00:43:51|260|00:43:54|060and they are systemic lives. So are we 805|00:43:54|060|00:43:55|660looking at a systemic chart here, 806|00:43:55|660|00:43:58|560or is it a planetary adaptation 807|00:43:59|300|00:44:01|980of a systemic chart? 808|00:44:05|340|00:44:07|760Okay, now you know what we're 809|00:44:07|760|00:44:09|360trying to do here is simply 810|00:44:10|400|00:44:12|240confirm the numbers. 811|00:44:13|530|00:44:16|260And if we go down, yes, I was talking 812|00:44:16|260|00:44:17|500about the Kumaras, and 813|00:44:19|510|00:44:22|900well, the planetary Logoi themselves 814|00:44:22|900|00:44:26|180are called Kumaras. 815|00:44:27|270|00:44:29|180But it does not seem 816|00:44:30|730|00:44:33|780that these particular hierarchies 817|00:44:34|840|00:44:38|660are actually planetary Logoi. 818|00:44:38|660|00:44:41|760They may be connected with the 819|00:44:41|760|00:44:43|580planetary Logoi. They may have 820|00:44:43|580|00:44:47|380similar energies. And by the five, I 821|00:44:47|380|00:44:48|180suppose we would 822|00:44:48|180|00:44:52|160talk about the three, four, five, six, 823|00:44:52|160|00:44:56|060seven, which are the Brahmic Logoi. 824|00:44:56|060|00:44:58|360You know, Brahma in a way begins with the 825|00:44:58|360|00:44:59|080number three. 826|00:44:59|080|00:45:02|200That's its first step. So 827|00:45:02|200|00:45:04|740the numbers of 828|00:45:06|120|00:45:08|680Brahma are one through five, but it 829|00:45:08|680|00:45:11|340also begins with the third ray and goes 830|00:45:11|340|00:45:13|440to the seventh. And D.K. in Cosmic Fire 831|00:45:14|040|00:45:16|480does talk about these relationships of 832|00:45:16|480|00:45:17|940one to three, two to four, 833|00:45:17|940|00:45:20|980three to five, four to six, and five to 834|00:45:20|980|00:45:23|800seven. We know that via the planet 835|00:45:25|120|00:45:25|760Uranus 836|00:45:27|220|00:45:29|840there was always a relationship between 837|00:45:29|840|00:45:31|080the electrical five 838|00:45:31|080|00:45:34|020and the seven of Uranus, and the fifth 839|00:45:34|020|00:45:35|380ray and the seventh were closely 840|00:45:35|380|00:45:36|020together anyway. 841|00:45:38|300|00:45:41|180These Kumaras are probably— 842|00:45:41|180|00:45:43|240not, I mean, I, you know, I may have to eat 843|00:45:43|240|00:45:44|560my words at some point here, 844|00:45:44|560|00:45:47|020but it seems to me 845|00:45:47|780|00:45:51|580that the creative hierarchies that we 846|00:45:51|580|00:45:52|680are talking about 847|00:45:54|000|00:45:56|580are of a lower status 848|00:45:56|580|00:46:00|820than the planetary Logoi. 849|00:46:01|640|00:46:04|300They are monads of different types, 850|00:46:05|120|00:46:08|480but we cannot consider, 851|00:46:08|480|00:46:12|000I think, that these particular Kumaras 852|00:46:12|000|00:46:15|540are the divine Kumaras which are the 853|00:46:15|540|00:46:17|000planetary Logoi. I think they 854|00:46:17|920|00:46:20|780are in a way correlated with those 855|00:46:20|780|00:46:22|260divine Kumaras 856|00:46:22|260|00:46:26|060and are found on an intra-planetary basis. 857|00:46:26|060|00:46:28|520I do continue to find 858|00:46:29|580|00:46:34|080the writing here that says “the five 859|00:46:34|080|00:46:36|120Kumaras”—I find it puzzling 860|00:46:37|660|00:46:39|860because there are different kinds of 861|00:46:39|860|00:46:41|640Kumaras, but I cannot see 862|00:46:43|480|00:46:47|300that the creative hierarchies here 863|00:46:47|300|00:46:50|300listed are in status 864|00:46:51|100|00:46:54|200equal to planetary Logoi 865|00:46:54|200|00:46:57|200who many, many mahakalpas ago 866|00:46:57|770|00:47:01|560stood at the level of 867|00:47:01|560|00:47:04|920mastership. These are, I think, various 868|00:47:04|920|00:47:06|440kinds of deva 869|00:47:06|440|00:47:08|860hierarchies. It's rather hard to 870|00:47:08|860|00:47:09|460discriminate 871|00:47:10|440|00:47:13|280a so-called human hierarchy. 872|00:47:13|810|00:47:17|180You know, the heavenly man, the grand 873|00:47:17|180|00:47:18|060heavenly man… 874|00:47:18|060|00:47:20|880the Super Grand Heavenly Man, you know. 875|00:47:20|880|00:47:23|760These are the Man hierarchies from the 876|00:47:23|760|00:47:24|940Deva hierarchies. 877|00:47:25|520|00:47:28|720In a way, Man is a Deva as well as a Man. 878|00:47:29|440|00:47:31|980So at a certain point, the Devic and the 879|00:47:31|980|00:47:32|740Man elements 880|00:47:32|740|00:47:36|100in the hierarchies do meet. I'm just— 881|00:47:36|100|00:47:37|840uh, what I—what I 882|00:47:37|840|00:47:41|640am trying to say here is that I think if 883|00:47:41|640|00:47:42|520we were to put 884|00:47:44|300|00:47:47|820Planetary Logoi in their proper place 885|00:47:48|360|00:47:50|320in a table of creative hierarchies, it 886|00:47:50|320|00:47:51|080would be much 887|00:47:51|080|00:47:54|600higher than the ones that are 888|00:47:54|600|00:47:58|580here given. And since Planetary Logoi are 889|00:47:58|580|00:48:00|200called Kumaras, 890|00:48:01|620|00:48:04|360the kinds of Kumaras that these 891|00:48:04|360|00:48:05|500hierarchies represent— 892|00:48:05|500|00:48:09|680I think are reflections of the 893|00:48:11|160|00:48:14|480Brahmic Kumaras, which I would call: 894|00:48:15|220|00:48:19|600Saturn, number one; Mercury, number two; 895|00:48:19|600|00:48:21|600Venus, number three; 896|00:48:23|640|00:48:24|920Mars, number 897|00:48:27|900|00:48:30|560four. Um, let's see: one, two, three—I'm 898|00:48:30|560|00:48:31|360thinking of the rays— 899|00:48:32|040|00:48:35|460three, four, five, six… Mars. And as for 900|00:48:35|460|00:48:38|080number seven, perhaps an unknown planet. I 901|00:48:38|080|00:48:40|240don't think we can call it 902|00:48:41|400|00:48:44|000Uranus, because when it comes to 903|00:48:44|000|00:48:47|200Uranus and Neptune, they may have lower 904|00:48:47|200|00:48:49|100reflections on the sixth and 905|00:48:49|100|00:48:52|460seventh rays, but their true rays are: 906|00:48:52|460|00:48:56|440Uranus, first ray; and Neptune, second ray. 907|00:48:57|200|00:49:00|800So I don't believe that these particular 908|00:49:00|800|00:49:01|640hierarchies— 909|00:49:01|640|00:49:05|200are necessarily direct reflections of… 910|00:49:05|200|00:49:07|540The hierarchy number four and five are 911|00:49:07|540|00:49:08|440direct reflections 912|00:49:09|120|00:49:12|120of Neptune, six, 913|00:49:13|040|00:49:17|240and Uranus, seven. Okay, that is very 914|00:49:17|240|00:49:18|020speculative. 915|00:49:18|600|00:49:21|820What I'm trying to say 916|00:49:21|820|00:49:23|560is that there are greater and lesser 917|00:49:23|560|00:49:25|000Kumaras, and I believe 918|00:49:25|600|00:49:28|620that these are lesser Kumaras, 919|00:49:28|620|00:49:32|040perhaps of an intra-planetary nature, 920|00:49:32|720|00:49:35|780and not the Solar Systemic Kumaras. 921|00:49:36|560|00:49:39|020Okay, let's see where we are here. 922|00:49:39|740|00:49:40|220Um, 923|00:49:43|680|00:49:47|220we're just mapping the planes—the 924|00:49:47|220|00:49:49|260hierarchies. The first of the 925|00:49:49|260|00:49:51|240manifested Creative Hierarchies 926|00:49:51|840|00:49:54|680is—its number six, and its ray is 927|00:49:54|680|00:49:55|240number one, 928|00:49:56|140|00:49:58|140and they are called—now we get some 929|00:49:58|140|00:49:59|980names—they're called Divine Flames and 930|00:49:59|980|00:50:01|860Divine Lives. They are ruled by Leo. 931|00:50:02|620|00:50:06|280The planet is the Sun. The colour is 932|00:50:06|280|00:50:09|580orange. The energy is Parashakti— 933|00:50:09|580|00:50:12|240this is called Supreme Energy. 934|00:50:13|020|00:50:16|460The comments in relation to it: Fire and 935|00:50:16|460|00:50:16|840Air 936|00:50:16|840|00:50:19|800and Logoic Plane. They are found on the 937|00:50:19|800|00:50:20|660Logoic Plane. 938|00:50:20|660|00:50:23|240We don't know on what sub-plane of the 939|00:50:23|240|00:50:24|080Logoic Plane, 940|00:50:25|600|00:50:29|060because also the fifth, almost liberated 941|00:50:29|060|00:50:29|640hierarchy, 942|00:50:30|320|00:50:32|460is also found on the Logoic Plane, but 943|00:50:32|460|00:50:33|980probably on a different sub-plane. 944|00:50:33|980|00:50:37|600So the numbers here are six, one, 945|00:50:37|600|00:50:40|720and seven. Uh, 946|00:50:40|720|00:50:44|960what planet is here? Found: it is the Sun. 947|00:50:44|960|00:50:47|780But is it really Vulcan? Is the Sun 948|00:50:48|700|00:50:51|760veiling Vulcan in relationship to this 949|00:50:52|500|00:50:55|420sea of fire? You know, the 950|00:50:55|420|00:50:58|340higher correspondence of a volcano, 951|00:50:58|340|00:50:59|240perhaps. 952|00:50:59|700|00:51:02|240The next creative hierarchy is 953|00:51:02|240|00:51:04|660the seventh down. Its ray is the second, 954|00:51:04|660|00:51:06|700and it correlates with the second sub-plane 955|00:51:07|540|00:51:09|540of the Cosmic Physical Plane. They are 956|00:51:09|540|00:51:11|300called Divine Builders. 957|00:51:12|260|00:51:16|220Uh, some of these things are 958|00:51:18|420|00:51:20|380miswritten, but I think it means 959|00:51:20|380|00:51:21|900“Conferring Soul.” 960|00:51:23|020|00:51:25|320Also called the Burning Sons of Desire. 961|00:51:26|840|00:51:29|960Virgo is the foremost distributor of the 962|00:51:29|960|00:51:30|980second ray. The 963|00:51:30|980|00:51:33|320planet here is Jupiter, which in its 964|00:51:33|320|00:51:34|900hierarchical aspect 965|00:51:35|620|00:51:38|200is a Monadic planet. In Jupiter, the 966|00:51:38|200|00:51:39|680hierarchical ruler of Virgo. 967|00:51:40|580|00:51:42|760The color is blue, and this is kriya 968|00:51:42|760|00:51:44|420shakti or materializing 969|00:51:44|420|00:51:47|740the ideal. The divine ideal and 970|00:51:48|740|00:51:51|900the perfect ideal is oftentimes found in 971|00:51:51|900|00:51:52|820relation to Virgo. 972|00:51:53|700|00:51:57|380And it's number six. Virgo brings in the 973|00:51:57|380|00:51:59|020second ray and the sixth ray. 974|00:51:59|900|00:52:02|060Leo brings in the first ray, but not the 975|00:52:02|060|00:52:02|600seventh. 976|00:52:04|860|00:52:08|440So these are the esoteric planes, esoteric 977|00:52:08|440|00:52:10|520sub-planes of the cosmic physical plane, 978|00:52:10|520|00:52:11|100and these 979|00:52:11|640|00:52:13|480two hierarchies must be considered 980|00:52:13|480|00:52:14|300relatively 981|00:52:15|240|00:52:17|920esoteric among the manifested creative 982|00:52:17|920|00:52:19|340hierarchies when compared 983|00:52:20|060|00:52:21|760to the Brahmic 984|00:52:23|420|00:52:25|700manifested creative hierarchies. These 985|00:52:26|560|00:52:30|200are the Brahmic unmanifested Creative 986|00:52:30|200|00:52:31|620Hierarchies, or the last one 987|00:52:31|620|00:52:34|840perhaps partially manifested. Uh, three, 988|00:52:34|840|00:52:35|720four, five, six, seven. 989|00:52:36|260|00:52:40|020And these, starting with hierarchy number 990|00:52:40|020|00:52:40|520eight, 991|00:52:41|420|00:52:44|360are the, um, Brahmic 992|00:52:44|360|00:52:46|540manifested Hierarchies. These are called 993|00:52:46|540|00:52:47|500lesser builders. Well, 994|00:52:48|260|00:52:50|540certainly not lesser in any sense 995|00:52:51|600|00:52:54|020related to the unconscious. 996|00:52:55|280|00:52:57|820Lesser builders in the system of man, 997|00:52:57|820|00:53:00|640they are simply cosmically lesser. 998|00:53:01|220|00:53:03|400They are conferring form, and Brahma does 999|00:53:03|400|00:53:04|080confer 1000|00:53:04|080|00:53:07|700form. It is the activity which helps in 1001|00:53:07|700|00:53:08|720the building of the form. 1002|00:53:08|720|00:53:10|940They're called the triple flowers. They 1003|00:53:10|940|00:53:12|840are related to the third ray. The triple 1004|00:53:12|840|00:53:13|280flower 1005|00:53:13|280|00:53:17|720suggests the fleur-de-lis, the symbol of 1006|00:53:17|720|00:53:20|300France, which has such a powerful 1007|00:53:20|300|00:53:20|920intellect. 1008|00:53:20|920|00:53:24|060Uh, France, I think, is very somehow 1009|00:53:24|060|00:53:25|880connected with the fleur-de-lis and the 1010|00:53:25|880|00:53:26|620triple flowers. 1011|00:53:27|090|00:53:29|700This is the highest aspect of, uh, Brahma 1012|00:53:30|150|00:53:31|780among the manifested creative 1013|00:53:31|780|00:53:32|880hierarchies. 1014|00:53:33|480|00:53:35|740Libra is the 1015|00:53:37|080|00:53:40|440sign. The planet, fittingly, is Saturn, the 1016|00:53:40|440|00:53:41|940planet of the third ray, and the color 1017|00:53:41|940|00:53:42|480green, 1018|00:53:42|480|00:53:45|180relating both to Capricorn and to Saturn. 1019|00:53:45|180|00:53:47|120Jnana shakti, which is the 1020|00:53:47|880|00:53:50|820intellectual yoga, is its energy. It's the 1021|00:53:50|820|00:53:53|020force of mind, but higher mind. 1022|00:53:54|140|00:53:57|120Water… Well, only water is matter is 1023|00:53:57|120|00:53:58|520what I can think of here. 1024|00:53:58|520|00:54:02|700We have fire, air, and ether here, or maybe 1025|00:54:02|700|00:54:04|280it should be called aether up on the 1026|00:54:04|280|00:54:05|160second sub-plane, 1027|00:54:05|160|00:54:08|220or perhaps it should be called akasha. But 1028|00:54:08|220|00:54:08|540anyway, 1029|00:54:09|220|00:54:12|560water or matter begins on the 1030|00:54:12|560|00:54:14|880third or fifth sub-plane of the cosmic 1031|00:54:14|880|00:54:15|760physical plane. 1032|00:54:16|600|00:54:18|540And this is the atmic plane, plane of 1033|00:54:18|540|00:54:20|760spiritual will and law, connected with 1034|00:54:20|760|00:54:21|760Saturn, of course. 1035|00:54:22|720|00:54:25|020And its number up is five. So its numbers 1036|00:54:25|020|00:54:26|640are eight, three, and five. 1037|00:54:26|640|00:54:30|220Again, these are strongly mercurial 1038|00:54:30|220|00:54:32|620numbers and strongly Saturnian numbers. 1039|00:54:33|720|00:54:37|660There is a reflection of the universal 1040|00:54:37|660|00:54:38|160mind 1041|00:54:38|840|00:54:41|840found here on the third level. We've come 1042|00:54:41|840|00:54:43|800down to the human Creative Hierarchy. Our 1043|00:54:43|800|00:54:45|520numbers are nine, four, and four. 1044|00:54:45|520|00:54:48|940We certainly have the fours, don't we? And 1045|00:54:48|940|00:54:51|500we could do some work relating 1046|00:54:52|340|00:54:54|560these numbers to the unmanifested 1047|00:54:54|560|00:54:55|780Creative Hierarchies. But 1048|00:54:55|780|00:54:58|880that would be interesting, though obscure 1049|00:54:58|880|00:55:00|600and very abstract, and perhaps not 1050|00:55:00|600|00:55:01|700immediately practical. 1051|00:55:02|540|00:55:04|880But, you know, one could do that. One could 1052|00:55:04|880|00:55:06|580trace these different numbers and see 1053|00:55:06|580|00:55:08|020what the similarities might be. 1054|00:55:08|020|00:55:10|500We call this the human hierarchy. It's the 1055|00:55:10|500|00:55:11|880human hierarchy of monads. 1056|00:55:12|400|00:55:13|740All of these hierarchies are 1057|00:55:13|740|00:55:14|960hierarchies of monads. 1058|00:55:14|960|00:55:17|100We are called the initiates. We are lords 1059|00:55:17|100|00:55:18|440of sacrifice. Remember, 1060|00:55:18|440|00:55:20|820the law of sacrifice, the very first law 1061|00:55:20|820|00:55:21|340of the soul, 1062|00:55:21|340|00:55:24|160is ruled by the fourth ray. 1063|00:55:25|260|00:55:27|540We are those who choose to die. We are 1064|00:55:27|540|00:55:29|080those who take our pilgrimage 1065|00:55:29|080|00:55:32|860into the lower worlds, unconsciously at 1066|00:55:32|860|00:55:33|440first. 1067|00:55:34|120|00:55:37|880It's a choice. Somehow we should be 1068|00:55:37|880|00:55:38|340related 1069|00:55:39|000|00:55:41|880to the Pisces hierarchy on the higher 1070|00:55:41|880|00:55:42|820plane because 1071|00:55:42|820|00:55:45|820Pisces is the great sign of sacrifice. 1072|00:55:46|540|00:55:48|920And the monads are lords of ceaseless 1073|00:55:48|920|00:55:50|260and persevering devotion. 1074|00:55:51|280|00:55:54|560So we have entered 1075|00:55:54|560|00:55:56|780these lower worlds. Our true level will 1076|00:55:56|780|00:55:57|960be on the buddhic plane. 1077|00:55:58|700|00:56:00|380The human hierarchy of battling 1078|00:56:00|380|00:56:02|860hierarchy is ruled by Scorpio, and our 1079|00:56:02|860|00:56:03|680planet is Mercury, 1080|00:56:03|680|00:56:06|860also the star of conflict. And our colour 1081|00:56:06|860|00:56:08|800is yellow which, from some perspectives, 1082|00:56:09|480|00:56:10|860is the colour of suffering. 1083|00:56:11|700|00:56:14|240Mantrashakti is our energy, and 1084|00:56:14|240|00:56:16|920this means the power of the word of 1085|00:56:16|920|00:56:17|320mantram. 1086|00:56:17|840|00:56:19|620Immediately we think of Mercury, our 1087|00:56:19|620|00:56:22|240ruler, as connected as the planet most 1088|00:56:22|240|00:56:23|380connected with the word. 1089|00:56:23|920|00:56:27|140We are the word made flesh. Speech is our 1090|00:56:27|140|00:56:27|540method. 1091|00:56:28|240|00:56:30|260It shows our strong connection to the 1092|00:56:30|260|00:56:31|880third ray as well as the fourth ray. 1093|00:56:32|760|00:56:35|340And we have to speak the words of 1094|00:56:35|340|00:56:36|020liberation. 1095|00:56:37|760|00:56:40|880Solar Angels… it calls… 1096|00:56:42|740|00:56:45|700The term “solar angels” is used here. 1097|00:56:46|360|00:56:49|620And it may be that the true home of the 1098|00:56:49|620|00:56:52|500solar Angels is the buddhic plane 1099|00:56:52|500|00:56:53|340after all. 1100|00:56:53|980|00:56:56|140But solar Angels are already graduates 1101|00:56:56|140|00:56:57|860of a previous solar system and much 1102|00:56:57|860|00:56:59|400higher than the human monads. 1103|00:57:00|080|00:57:03|220And the solar angels' manifestation really 1104|00:57:03|220|00:57:04|260is on the fifth 1105|00:57:04|260|00:57:07|340fifth plane. That's their service 1106|00:57:07|340|00:57:08|080manifestation. 1107|00:57:08|080|00:57:10|360The question is: to what extent are these 1108|00:57:10|360|00:57:11|820beings truly buddhic? 1109|00:57:12|920|00:57:15|900And to what extent is this fourth 1110|00:57:15|900|00:57:17|960sub-plane of the cosmic physical plane 1111|00:57:17|960|00:57:18|980their true 1112|00:57:18|980|00:57:22|140home? To what extent is man the solar 1113|00:57:22|140|00:57:22|620angel? 1114|00:57:23|500|00:57:25|660Man and the solar angel: they have 1115|00:57:25|660|00:57:28|420different monads, even though all monads 1116|00:57:28|420|00:57:29|060are 1117|00:57:29|880|00:57:32|880one. But this is showing the intimate 1118|00:57:32|880|00:57:33|580relationship 1119|00:57:33|580|00:57:36|160of the solar angels to the human 1120|00:57:36|160|00:57:37|140creative hierarchy. 1121|00:57:37|140|00:57:39|460It's as if the solar angels know 1122|00:57:39|460|00:57:42|300everything and can do everything that 1123|00:57:42|300|00:57:44|720man is destined to know in relation to 1124|00:57:44|720|00:57:45|360the buddhic 1125|00:57:45|360|00:57:49|680plane. All right, this is as far as I can 1126|00:57:49|680|00:57:50|980get in this particular 1127|00:57:52|380|00:57:55|500esoteric astrology adventure number 1128|00:57:56|080|00:57:59|10015. I will carry on with this delineation 1129|00:57:59|680|00:58:02|120where we're simply basically mapping the 1130|00:58:02|120|00:58:03|640numbers. I'm throwing in a little bit of 1131|00:58:03|640|00:58:04|300interpretation, 1132|00:58:05|900|00:58:08|000but it's important for us to get the 1133|00:58:08|000|00:58:09|480numbers. We should be able, with our eyes 1134|00:58:09|480|00:58:10|800closed, to say, “Okay, 1135|00:58:10|800|00:58:13|820a hierarchy… manifested hierarchy number 1136|00:58:13|820|00:58:14|280one: 1137|00:58:14|280|00:58:17|800it's a six, it's a one, it's a seven. 1138|00:58:18|480|00:58:20|780It's ruled by Leo. They're called the 1139|00:58:20|780|00:58:23|740Divine Lives, the Divine Flames,” you know? 1140|00:58:24|380|00:58:26|140Parashakti. We should know all these 1141|00:58:26|140|00:58:27|400things because if we're going to be able 1142|00:58:27|400|00:58:27|920to 1143|00:58:27|920|00:58:31|100think this through, we should be 1144|00:58:31|100|00:58:33|400as familiar with these terms as the 1145|00:58:33|400|00:58:35|580astrologer is with the astrological terms. 1146|00:58:35|580|00:58:37|620I'm not saying I can do this either, but 1147|00:58:37|620|00:58:40|220this is desirable for us to know the 1148|00:58:40|220|00:58:41|580different kind of shaktis, the different 1149|00:58:41|580|00:58:42|380types of energies, 1150|00:58:42|380|00:58:44|900the different elements, the signs 1151|00:58:44|900|00:58:46|920involved, the numbers involved, and the 1152|00:58:46|920|00:58:47|940names of these 1153|00:58:47|940|00:58:50|760creative hierarchies. Basically, what 1154|00:58:50|760|00:58:52|700we're looking at is the builders of form. 1155|00:58:53|620|00:58:57|120We're looking at the monads behind all 1156|00:58:57|120|00:59:00|220the forms and fields of energy on the 1157|00:59:00|220|00:59:00|580cosmic 1158|00:59:00|580|00:59:01|740physical plane. 1159|00:59:03|820|00:59:05|920Okay everybody, let's have our 1160|00:59:08|240|00:59:11|180let's have our Great Invocation. 1161|00:59:12|280|00:59:15|140From the point of light within 1162|00:59:16|260|00:59:18|880and then we will move on to the next, 1163|00:59:18|880|00:59:20|960on to the next. 1164|00:59:23|860|00:59:24|580Oh. 1165|00:59:32|020|00:59:35|380From the point of light within the mind 1166|00:59:35|380|00:59:36|020of God, 1167|00:59:36|660|00:59:39|320let light stream forth into the minds of 1168|00:59:39|320|00:59:39|740men. 1169|00:59:39|740|00:59:42|280Let light descend on earth. 1170|00:59:44|300|00:59:46|820From the point of love within the heart 1171|00:59:46|820|00:59:47|620of God, 1172|00:59:48|320|00:59:51|360let love stream forth into the hearts of 1173|00:59:51|360|00:59:51|720men. 1174|00:59:52|420|00:59:54|940May Christ return to earth. 1175|00:59:56|380|00:59:58|700From the center where the will of God is 1176|00:59:58|700|01:00:00|160known, let purpose 1177|01:00:00|160|01:00:03|460guide the little wills of men, the 1178|01:00:03|460|01:00:04|740purpose which the masters 1179|01:00:04|740|01:00:06|380know and serve. 1180|01:00:08|080|01:00:10|400From the center which we call the race of 1181|01:00:10|400|01:00:12|780men, let the plan of love and light work 1182|01:00:12|780|01:00:13|260out 1183|01:00:13|860|01:00:16|340and may it seal the door where evil 1184|01:00:16|340|01:00:17|300dwells. 1185|01:00:17|910|01:00:21|860Let light and love and power restore the 1186|01:00:21|860|01:00:22|380plan 1187|01:00:22|510|01:00:24|060on earth. 1188|01:00:27|790|01:00:28|440Oh. 1189|01:00:34|520|01:00:35|820Oh. 1190|01:00:48|380|01:00:49|480Oh. 1191|01:01:03|380|01:01:08|380And I think, uh, just to 1192|01:01:08|650|01:01:11|920give page numbers, we have basically been 1193|01:01:11|920|01:01:13|460dealing only with page— 1194|01:01:14|080|01:01:17|260pages 33 1195|01:01:18|640|01:01:22|320and 34, and a little bit 1196|01:01:22|320|01:01:25|700of 35. 1197|01:01:26|620|01:01:28|660That's basically where we have been in 1198|01:01:28|660|01:01:29|380this—yeah, it says 1199|01:01:29|900|01:01:32|440from page 32, when we've gone, we're 1200|01:01:32|440|01:01:33|620including page 1201|01:01:34|520|01:01:37|20035.
