1|00:00:11|820|00:00:13|900Well, hi everybody. 2|00:00:15|340|00:00:20|840This is Esoteric Astrology Adventure Number 19. 3|00:00:22|480|00:00:29|420And I guess I did the last one, Number 18, in the wee hours of the morning, so am I accountable 4|00:00:29|420|00:00:30|160for what I said? 5|00:00:30|360|00:00:32|660Well, I thought I could have said a few things better. 6|00:00:33|620|00:00:43|600Anyway, we are reviewing at the moment Hierarchy, Creative Hierarchy Number Two of the manifested 7|00:00:44|540|00:00:44|830kind. 8|00:00:46|340|00:00:52|420Now, let's see… yeah, not that one, this one. 9|00:00:53|420|00:00:58|120Yes, I'm going to draw another one here: Creative Hierarchies. 10|00:00:59|000|00:01:02|380So we can always refer to them. 11|00:01:03|360|00:01:11|980Okay, these are the unmanifested creative hierarchies and here are the manifested creative 12|00:01:11|980|00:01:16|340hierarchies, and we are dealing with Creative Hierarchy Number Two. 13|00:01:17|800|00:01:21|400We started talking about it. It's very mysterious in some ways. 14|00:01:22|400|00:01:29|300The second Hierarchy is closely allied with the Great Bear. (EA, p.39) 15|00:01:31|120|00:01:45|740And as I tried to say, although on page 344 of Cosmic Fire we see that the Great Bear 16|00:01:45|740|00:01:55|400is, or the seven reaches of the Great Bear are said to be focused on the cosmic buddhic 17|00:01:55|400|00:02:03|460plane, I believe there is some problem with that, or at least there is an additional factor 18|00:02:03|460|00:02:12|020to be considered, namely that their real focus, I believe, or at least an additional focus, 19|00:02:12|850|00:02:21|600is on the cosmic atmic plane. And the Pleiades, maybe the seven sisters, maybe all of them, 20|00:02:22|600|00:02:31|920have not an exclusive but at least an alternative focus on the cosmic buddhic plane. 21|00:02:32|840|00:02:42|000As well I think as on the cosmic monadic plane, because I think the Pleiades are related to 22|00:02:44|380|00:02:52|220the great thousand-petalled head center of the One About Whom Naught May Be Said, our super 23|00:02:52|220|00:02:53|200cosmic Logos. 24|00:02:53|780|00:02:59|580I know, you know, there's a lot of terms here and we have to get used to these terms and 25|00:02:59|580|00:03:05|780of course as I said, in a way the book will become easier as we progress because we are 26|00:03:05|780|00:03:11|780at present working with sections and very difficult sections from Cosmic Fire which 27|00:03:11|780|00:03:21|020the Tibetan decided to interpolate in the astrology book to give us a wider point of 28|00:03:21|020|00:03:21|180view. 29|00:03:21|360|00:03:28|180So don't despair. Let me do the despairing as I try to clarify some of these things. 30|00:03:28|280|00:03:34|480But anyway, the second Hierarchy is closely related to the Great Bear. 31|00:03:35|240|00:03:42|540There is a very strong connection with Aries, Leo, and the Great Bear. 32|00:03:43|180|00:03:47|440Although this hierarchy is technically a Virgo hierarchy. 33|00:03:48|220|00:03:53|440We are told that They entered through the second ventricle within the Sacred Heart, (EA, p.39) and there 34|00:03:53|440|00:03:56|000I began to discuss what really is the Sacred Heart. 35|00:03:56|120|00:03:59|080There are three hearts connected with the solar Logos. 36|00:04:00|240|00:04:06|700One of them is the heart of the sun, which we can place on the higher levels of the cosmic 37|00:04:06|700|00:04:13|400mental plane as being the consciousness that works through the egoic lotus of the solar 38|00:04:13|400|00:04:13|820Logos. 39|00:04:14|700|00:04:19|660The other is a kind of heart center which we would expect to find on the second sub-plane 40|00:04:19|660|00:04:21|100of the cosmic astral plane. 41|00:04:22|140|00:04:28|540Sometimes it seems like it should be called the subjective sun, but sometimes the subjective 42|00:04:28|540|00:04:35|020sun is a term also related to the consciousness working through the egoic lotus on the higher 43|00:04:35|020|00:04:37|960mental plane, cosmic mental plane. 44|00:04:38|460|00:04:47|260Then of course there is the question of the monadic heart center in this sense: that the 45|00:04:47|260|00:04:53|040monadic plane on our cosmic physical plane is the second, and it is on the second sub-plane 46|00:04:53|040|00:04:56|980of planes that heart centers are generally found. 47|00:04:59|580|00:05:05|740Note here, we will go to the chart on page… yeah, this chart. 48|00:05:07|480|00:05:11|520Note that for man the heart center is found on the second sub-plane. 49|00:05:11|740|00:05:18|100Also another heart center on his second sub-plane of the astral, his systemic astral plane. 50|00:05:18|920|00:05:27|560And so we may infer that for a great Logos, solar Logos, which sometimes has even a closer 51|00:05:27|560|00:05:34|700correspondence to man than the planetary Logos has, we can infer that his heart center is 52|00:05:34|700|00:05:38|780found on the monadic plane, a kind of heart center. 53|00:05:39|640|00:05:46|980And is it there that the ventricle that we're speaking of, of the sacred heart, is to be 54|00:05:46|980|00:05:47|380found? 55|00:05:47|380|00:05:53|480The sacred heart presumably is a heart center of the solar Logos. 56|00:05:54|740|00:06:00|180Even in Christianity when we speak of the sacred heart, we mean the heart of the Christ, 57|00:06:00|180|00:06:05|940or a great heart of love which ultimately is associated with Sanat Kumara as a direct 58|00:06:05|940|00:06:11|140disciple of the solar Logos and ultimately with the solar Logos itself, because the Christ 59|00:06:11|140|00:06:15|860is an incipient seventh degree initiate, and it is at that 60|00:06:16|660|00:06:25|260initiation that one becomes a transfigured initiate in the eyes of Sirius and a master 61|00:06:25|740|00:06:31|240in relation to the solar initiations and therefore in relation to the sun. 62|00:06:32|680|00:06:38|780So this question of what are the sun's hearts is a deep question. 63|00:06:39|780|00:06:45|800The ventricles generally are pumping the blood, the auricles are receiving the blood and— 64|00:06:45|800|00:06:52|340I'm making the assumption here, we hear of the left ventricle and the right ventricle. 65|00:06:53|280|00:06:59|600I'm not sure which is the second ventricle because he doesn't describe it as right and 66|00:06:59|600|00:07:07|380left, but I am assuming that a great deal of vitality is pumped forth from these ventricles 67|00:07:07|380|00:07:15|940whether to the higher parts of the body or to the lower parts of the body. 68|00:07:16|040|00:07:21|040Perhaps if we're dealing with Virgo, it would be the service of the immediately present, 69|00:07:21|640|00:07:28|380and the pumping would occur to the lower parts of the body rather than to the higher parts 70|00:07:29|140|00:07:33|980because there is the service of the lesser lives supposedly located in the lower part 71|00:07:33|980|00:07:34|980of the body. 72|00:07:34|980|00:07:43|280Well, TK uses these extremely occult terms which are quasi-mystical but at the same time 73|00:07:43|280|00:07:46|140veil deeply occult realities. 74|00:07:47|740|00:07:54|580and are (as we are told in The Secret Doctrine) the prototypes of the Monads. (EA, p.39) This particular hierarchy is said to be the prototypes of the monads, and I discussed with 75|00:07:54|580|00:08:02|780you last time the idea of monadic emanation, and the only thing that can produce a monad 76|00:08:02|780|00:08:04|120is a monad itself. 77|00:08:06|660|00:08:16|660All monads are identical essentially, but they have through their vehicles greater or lesser 78|00:08:16|660|00:08:19|160scopes of awareness. 79|00:08:31|820|00:08:36|300The Parabrahm—maybe I'm not going to find that so easily—but I showed that to you last 80|00:08:36|300|00:08:46|320time, page 1230. There it is, Parabrahm, and we see in a way how every spirit generates 81|00:08:47|520|00:08:52|680spirits which are identical in nature but are lesser in the scope of their awareness, 82|00:08:52|680|00:08:56|540and every one of these generates seven more and seven more and seven more and so forth. 83|00:08:57|340|00:09:02|540So we're dealing with what Master Morya calls the divisibility of the spirit. 84|00:09:02|740|00:09:08|160It's not a real divisibility, but it's a divisibility in consciousness. 85|00:09:08|740|00:09:12|160So these are the prototypes of the monads. 86|00:09:13|000|00:09:18|600The second creative hierarchy—well, only a monad can be a prototype of another monad, 87|00:09:18|600|00:09:27|260so they must be monads of much greater scope in their awareness and their expression of 88|00:09:27|260|00:09:27|580power. 89|00:09:29|280|00:09:36|420On what level are the monads of the second creative hierarchy found? 90|00:09:36|420|00:09:43|780Well, I would say minimally on the cosmic astral plane—minimally, perhaps the cosmic 91|00:09:43|780|00:09:51|000mental plane, but let us say for the moment the cosmic astral plane. 92|00:09:53|020|00:09:55|920Let's see, we'll go back here just a little bit. 93|00:09:55|920|00:10:08|120I can find—yes, because in these tables of creative hierarchies, the plane on 94|00:10:08|120|00:10:14|400which a particular hierarchy is listed is not the plane on which its monad is found. 95|00:10:14|520|00:10:23|300For instance, here's the human hierarchy, the fourth, whose field of expression is the 96|00:10:23|300|00:10:31|300monadic location, if you will, is upon the second plane and not the fourth. 97|00:10:33|120|00:10:37|860And I don't know whether this leapfrogging is exactly the way it goes. 98|00:10:39|060|00:10:47|840I don't know whether the lesser builders have their monad on the cosmic physical plane at 99|00:10:47|840|00:10:48|140all. 100|00:10:48|140|00:10:53|300As a matter of fact, I suspect that the higher part of the fifth creative hierarchy, which 101|00:10:53|300|00:11:00|600is the solar angels, do not have their monad on the cosmic physical plane at all, even though 102|00:11:00|600|00:11:07|460they are relatively low in their expression due to sacrificial intent. 103|00:11:08|480|00:11:13|440Because in the previous solar system they were initiates of all degrees and had to have 104|00:11:13|440|00:11:19|100achieved freedom from the cosmic physical plane of that solar system in order to go 105|00:11:19|100|00:11:22|780to Sirius to develop as solar Angels. 106|00:11:23|060|00:11:26|380So they were already liberated onto the cosmic astral plane in some sense. 107|00:11:26|460|00:11:30|340And what is it that travels after all when you're going on these cosmic paths? 108|00:11:31|120|00:11:33|260It's none other than the monad that travels. 109|00:11:33|480|00:11:41|100So the monad was in a way traveling in ways which we do not understand on the cosmic astral 110|00:11:41|100|00:11:42|860plane towards Sirius. 111|00:11:42|860|00:11:44|560At least this is the speculation. 112|00:11:45|120|00:11:53|600So when we see these different hierarchies manifesting on the cosmic physical plane, some 113|00:11:53|600|00:11:58|980of them will have monads manifesting on the cosmic physical plane, but others—certainly 114|00:11:58|980|00:12:01|420the divine planes, the divine builders—minimally. 115|00:12:02|360|00:12:05|760And I would say the solar angels, and if I include the solar angels out to include the 116|00:12:05|760|00:12:11|860lesser builders who are still greater lives. I suspect some of them will have monads at 117|00:12:11|860|00:12:15|100least on the cosmic astral plane. 118|00:12:15|100|00:12:22|340That will be the location of those points of being consciousness that we call the monad. 119|00:12:22|420|00:12:23|860Okay, well that's a little bit of a review. 120|00:12:24|920|00:12:30|360I have to review it in my own mind because these are very abstract issues and all we 121|00:12:30|360|00:12:40|100can do is kind of outline some thoughts around these issues because it is not possible for 122|00:12:40|100|00:12:48|400such as we are to say anything truly definitive, you know, that which we can corroborate with 123|00:12:48|400|00:12:49|700our own experience. 124|00:12:49|940|00:12:57|100We can have enlightened speculation which may at times touch the intuition, but we cannot 125|00:12:57|100|00:13:01|340ascertain these matters through our own experience. 126|00:13:01|580|00:13:08|320So thus we are indeed standing upon the shoulders of giants, and the giant in this case is Master 127|00:13:08|320|00:13:15|720D.K. as he is inspired by K.H. and given permission by Sanat Kumara to reveal these matters, something 128|00:13:15|720|00:13:16|400of them. 129|00:13:17|380|00:13:25|320So they are the prototypes of the monads, and from them we might assume the monads emanate. 130|00:13:26|440|00:13:30|820At least a degree of their emanation occurs there. 131|00:13:31|130|00:13:37|580From another perspective, the planetary Logoi are the homes of certain monads. 132|00:13:38|920|00:13:46|400Is our Earth the home of the monads found expressing within Earth, or do they have a 133|00:13:46|400|00:13:55|460sacred planet in relation to which they have a truer home? And if some of us are Jupiterian 134|00:13:55|460|00:14:04|220or Venusian or Uranian or Vulcanian or Mercurian monads, is not our true monadic origin more 135|00:14:04|220|00:14:06|280the Sun? 136|00:14:07|390|00:14:15|280Because we are told that the monad is that which finds its home within the Sun. But then 137|00:14:16|060|00:14:24|520I do believe the Sun will even be in a way not an ultimate source, and on and on it goes. 138|00:14:25|180|00:14:31|240Perhaps we have to trace our monadic origin to the Central Spiritual Sun or to the One 139|00:14:31|240|00:14:39|100About Whom Naught May Be Said or to the Pleiades, as it were. And even then that cannot be the 140|00:14:39|100|00:14:54|280ultimate home of the monad, which has to be the one and only identity in cosmos, the Universal 141|00:14:54|920|00:14:55|440Heart. 142|00:14:57|240|00:15:04|380So it says of these hierarchy number two that They are the source of monadic life, but They 143|00:15:04|380|00:15:09|380are not the Monads; They are far higher. (EA, p.39) Now what is contained in that word “far,” you know? 144|00:15:09|960|00:15:16|300We're dealing with huge spans of time, with Maha Kalpas, which is a Mahamanvantara, you know, 145|00:15:16|300|00:15:21|200the duration of the solar system, which separates one order of life from 146|00:15:21|200|00:15:25|400another. So how far is far? 147|00:15:27|160|00:15:35|900We know that, for instance, the solar angels are at least one Maha Kalpa ahead of that 148|00:15:35|900|00:15:41|860which we call man today. And here are still higher hierarchies who are how many Maha Kalpas 149|00:15:41|860|00:15:42|380ahead? 150|00:15:43|440|00:15:50|700Can it be that it takes one Mahamanvantara to move up one plane? 151|00:15:50|700|00:15:59|620I think that's a bit of an exaggeration because if the fourth initiation—aha, maybe the fourth 152|00:15:59|620|00:16:05|640initiation was the highest initiation that could be taken in the previous solar system. 153|00:16:05|640|00:16:14|280If that's the case, then the buddhic plane would have been the achieved focus of those 154|00:16:14|280|00:16:21|480who are now solar angels. So perhaps they did not move off of the cosmic physical plane 155|00:16:21|480|00:16:29|500yet. But others that were involved in that solar system and were produced in 156|00:16:29|500|00:16:35|660that solar system perhaps were on still higher planes in some way. Now I'm not sure whether 157|00:16:36|600|00:16:41|480seven is always the number of planes with which we are dealing. The great number of the 158|00:16:41|480|00:16:49|160previous solar system was five, so was it a system in which the planes brahmanically 159|00:16:49|720|00:16:55|660were five in number? As I've suggested, we have a number seven very connected with the number 160|00:16:55|660|00:17:01|340two for this solar system. Our planes are seven. Will the planes be nine in the next solar 161|00:17:01|340|00:17:06|820system since that is its number? These are speculations, but if we hold these kinds of 162|00:17:06|820|00:17:14|380thoughts in our mind, then some confirming piece of information may drop in and invoke 163|00:17:14|380|00:17:20|080the intuition and give us a certainty on the matter. Well, that was a review, but I get—you 164|00:17:20|080|00:17:29|680know, a little longer than a review—but nevertheless I was not quite happy with my sleepy state 165|00:17:29|680|00:17:36|140of consciousness when we last talked, or when I last talked to myself, as it were, but talking 166|00:17:36|140|00:17:42|760to you at the same time. This Hierarchy, which is literally 167|00:17:42|760|00:17:49|140the seventh, (EA, p.39) because if you—you know how it goes, just keep things in mind—if you count 168|00:17:49|140|00:17:58|580down from the creative hierarchy above: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Okay, the second 169|00:17:58|580|00:18:03|340hierarchy, that is, whether or not they should be called “burning sons of desire,” because we 170|00:18:03|340|00:18:10|400remember that the term “burning sons of desire” was applied to the first creative hierarchy. So 171|00:18:10|400|00:18:18|660is this mistake part of those who created the map, or can both be called “burning sons of desire”? This 172|00:18:18|660|00:18:26|240is still an enigma. Anyway, it's the seventh creative hierarchy from, in that way of enumerating, is the 173|00:18:26|240|00:18:37|280influx into our system of those Lives who in the first solar system remained on their own plane (EA, p.39) which 174|00:18:37|280|00:18:50|900presumably was above the three lower planes, being too sinless and holy to find opportunity in that 175|00:18:50|900|00:18:58|040very material and intellectual evolution. (EA, p.39) So we don't… we don't know: they are… they have been 176|00:18:58|040|00:19:02|780liberated onto the cosmic astral plane. Was their own true plane the cosmic astral plane at that 177|00:19:02|780|00:19:13|360time? For certainly the cosmic astral plane did exist. Or were they simply, as it were, above the 178|00:19:13|360|00:19:19|500fray, and was the intellectual evolution proceeding very much in the dense physical body of the solar 179|00:19:19|500|00:19:31|340Logos? So were they above the dense physical body of the solar Logos, and was their own plane the 180|00:19:31|340|00:19:43|160Buddhic of that system, or a plane higher? They seem to be associated with the two-four-six line, 181|00:19:44|260|00:19:50|100and so we just, you know, we just don't know how many planes that were in that system. But certainly 182|00:19:50|100|00:20:03|440they seem to have been in the cosmic etheric body of that previous solar system. Previous, previous. 183|00:20:03|440|00:20:14|380Okay. Even in this, they will find it impossible to do more than influence 184|00:20:14|380|00:20:26|500the incarnating Jivas, (EA, p.39) So what do they do? You know, they… they influence the monads, the… let's 185|00:20:26|500|00:20:43|520call it the human monads, because what is a Jiva but a monad on a pilgrimage, or in extension, or 186|00:20:43|520|00:20:54|760in incarnation in the lower five worlds? That's what a monad is. There's really no difference 187|00:20:54|760|00:21:01|700between a Jiva and a monad, except that a Jiva is that part of the monad which goes forth, because 188|00:21:01|700|00:21:07|880the monad acts in a very Geminian way. In a sense, it keeps part of itself on its own high level and 189|00:21:07|880|00:21:20|980preserves that kind of greatly expanded unitary consciousness, and sends a part of itself into 190|00:21:20|980|00:21:29|780increasing depths of ignorance so that its consciousness is increasingly circumscribed 191|00:21:29|780|00:21:43|220as it descends into denser and denser vibratory fields. Okay, so they will influence the incarnating 192|00:21:43|220|00:21:53|840Jivas and impart to them the ability to realize the nature of group consciousness. In other words, 193|00:21:53|840|00:22:07|960they are… they are influencing the ones who go forth, giving them a high unitive perception, 194|00:22:08|700|00:22:15|040imparting to them the ability to realize the nature of group consciousness, which is of the 195|00:22:15|040|00:22:25|120soul and the second aspect: the quality of the seven heavenly men, which is group consciousness, 196|00:22:25|780|00:22:31|980but not being able to express themselves fully. Well, you know, I used to think that… I think I… 197|00:22:31|980|00:22:42|480you know, were these creative hierarchies… the second instance, could it be the heavenly man? 198|00:22:42|480|00:22:47|880But I dissuaded myself from that thought, even though they must necessarily be related to the 199|00:22:47|880|00:23:01|860seven heavenly man. The quality of the seven heavenly man is group consciousness. The seventh 200|00:23:01|860|00:23:12|060hierarchy has some of that consciousness which it imparts to the journeying Jivas. 201|00:23:12|060|00:23:17|900How do you spell “journey”? I guess without an H. The journeying Jivas, but not being able to express 202|00:23:17|900|00:23:25|080themselves fully. (EA, p.39-40) See, what is expression after all? You know, you need the kind of instrument which is 203|00:23:25|080|00:23:33|320somehow suited to your inner nature; otherwise it will not respond to what you are. So presumably 204|00:23:33|320|00:23:42|700that which the Jivas have built, as refined as it may seem to us here on the dense physical plane, 205|00:23:42|700|00:23:51|680is not yet of a caliber, such a caliber that very refined lives can express through it. So anyway, 206|00:23:51|680|00:24:05|440they can't express themselves fully, and they are, in a sense, they are super-Brahmic lives. Brahma on 207|00:24:06|200|00:24:16|920the cosmic physical plane begins on the etheric plane, and they are located on the monadic 208|00:24:16|920|00:24:27|620world. Do they have… are they able to impart anything to the human monads which remain in 209|00:24:27|620|00:24:36|720that monadic world? And it would seem yes, just the way the triad lives—the third of the manifesting 210|00:24:36|720|00:24:46|760Creative Hierarchies—is likely to impart something to the triad field. So these divine builders, 211|00:24:46|760|00:24:54|660conferring soul… well, conferring monadic awareness… I think cultivating monadic awareness is liable 212|00:24:54|660|00:25:05|720to be able to influence the monadic vehicle, the monadic field, as well as the Jivas which descend 213|00:25:05|720|00:25:15|200into greater ignorance. But it confers that sense of unity upon those Jivas. So probably when the 214|00:25:15|200|00:25:22|160Jiva descends onto the higher mental plane, there to set up its location for a number of millions 215|00:25:22|160|00:25:28|840of years, this Creative Hierarchy is imparting something of the nature of soul consciousness 216|00:25:28|840|00:25:37|260to them, as does the solar Angel. Now there are so many mysteries involved in this. You know, we're 217|00:25:38|180|00:25:46|900skirting around the edges here. We really have to know who is who and what is what, and you know 218|00:25:46|900|00:25:56|280there are veils here. There are definitely veils, and if the veils are not given by the Tibetan 219|00:25:56|280|00:26:05|780themselves, and certainly the opacity of our own minds provide the veils. Some clues to this mystery 220|00:26:05|780|00:26:12|480will come if the student carefully bears in mind that in our solar system and our seven planes, we 221|00:26:12|480|00:26:18|420have only the physical body of the Logos, (EA, p.40) Well, you know, not just the physical body, but yes, you know, 222|00:26:18|420|00:26:28|280we realize the etheric physical body of Logos, and that that physical body is a limitation of the 223|00:26:28|280|00:26:38|280expression of His threefold nature. (EA, p.40) just in a way as our physical body, etheric body, is certainly a 224|00:26:38|280|00:26:45|580limitation upon the expression of our soul nature, until we get our etheric physical body so tuned 225|00:26:45|580|00:26:52|360up that a reasonable degree of expression can be brought forward on this, our densest plane. The 226|00:26:52|360|00:26:59|140first (sixth) Hierarchy might be viewed as endeavouring to express the mental vibration of 227|00:26:59|140|00:27:10|720the solar Logos (EA, p.40) you know, connected with Leo, with Leo and the fifth ray. Although this is not to say 228|00:27:10|720|00:27:18|680that our solar Logos necessarily has a fifth ray mind, whatever that might be. You know, it seems more 229|00:27:18|680|00:27:24|860likely the fourth and the second, His emotional, or cosmic astral, nature. (EA, p.40) 230|00:27:24|860|00:27:36|400So here's what the Tibetan is saying: that Creative Hierarchy number one slash six is attuned 231|00:27:36|400|00:27:48|780to the mental vehicle, mental vehicle, of the solar Logos on the cosmic mental plane, and creative 232|00:27:48|780|00:27:59|920hierarchy two slash seven is attuned to the emotional vehicle of the solar Logos on the 233|00:27:59|920|00:28:07|580astral plane. And it does, you know, and it makes sense if you realize that rays one and five are 234|00:28:07|580|00:28:11|600expressing through Leo, so that's definitely the hardline, and rays two and six, in this 235|00:28:11|600|00:28:17|680solar system at least, or with respect to this solar system, are expressing through Virgo. We 236|00:28:17|680|00:28:26|480never know, you know, what rays are actually expressing through a particular zodiacal 237|00:28:26|480|00:28:33|960constellation with respect to other solar systems. Certainly all rays are expressing through all 238|00:28:33|960|00:28:42|140constellations, even as all rays expressed through the earth or through the solar system. But perhaps 239|00:28:42|140|00:28:49|340in a particular constellation in a particular solar system, we draw forth or specialize certain 240|00:28:49|340|00:28:56|620of the rays expressing through constellations. So maybe ray two and six from Virgo are more 241|00:28:57|280|00:29:03|720meaningful for us at this time, and we, as it were, magnify them, whereas maybe in the previous solar 242|00:29:03|720|00:29:11|640system, rays three and seven were magnified by our solar Logos when he attuned to Virgo. So there's 243|00:29:11|640|00:29:18|620a mystery here. It's true that the earth has rays one, two, and three—monadic, soul, and personality—as 244|00:29:18|620|00:29:26|640its rays, but certainly all rays express through it, and perhaps different planets are affected by 245|00:29:26|640|00:29:32|340our planetary Logos in different ways, depending on the rays they draw forth from our planetary 246|00:29:32|340|00:29:41|940Logos or the rays they can receive. Well, all of this is part of the psychology—the psychology 247|00:29:41|940|00:29:53|520of the solar system—which, if you think about it, that's really what A Treatise on Cosmic Fire is 248|00:29:53|520|00:30:06|060all about. Yeah, okay. Well, let's go on here. This second (seventh) Hierarchy has for its type of 249|00:30:06|060|00:30:13|420force the second aspect (EA, p.40) that correlates with the cosmic physical plane of the seventh type, 250|00:30:13|420|00:30:22|200correlates with the numbering from above. second aspect of the seventh type of force from out of the 251|00:30:22|200|00:30:35|320many. (EA, p.40) Well, you know, you want to make an analogy here. If the second—yeah, if the second Hierarchy 252|00:30:35|320|00:30:45|400has the seventh type of force, then does the eighth hierarchy have the eighth type of force 253|00:30:45|400|00:30:52|900and the ninth and ninth and so forth? But this is the second aspect of the seventh type of 254|00:30:52|900|00:30:59|640force. So would the eighth hierarchy have the third aspect of the eighth type of force, and the human 255|00:31:00|260|00:31:06|460grouping have the fourth aspect of the ninth type of force? Well, we're just playing with numbers here, 256|00:31:06|460|00:31:13|200and we really can't be sure of what they mean. Let's go back and see what he said about the 257|00:31:14|420|00:31:30|360first Creative Hierarchy. Yes, I burned, and they rushed. The sixth Creative Hierarchy has 258|00:31:30|360|00:31:39|880the first aspect of the sixth type of cosmic electricity. So are the forces we are talking 259|00:31:39|880|00:31:53|180about cosmic electrical forces? That's a question. In other words, D.K. is using different words, perhaps 260|00:31:53|180|00:32:01|740to blind, but perhaps also to say—tell us about things that we cannot fathom. There's the first 261|00:32:01|740|00:32:07|560type. Well, when we read about Creative Hierarchy, hierarchy number two was the second aspect, so type 262|00:32:07|560|00:32:14|380and aspect are similar. And the first—the sixth type of cosmic electricity may be analogous to 263|00:32:14|380|00:32:22|360the seventh type of force. Now, what are the many? We don't—we don't know. But one thing we do see 264|00:32:23|680|00:32:36|400is that the numbers given to these hierarchies are indeed significant: the first aspect of the 265|00:32:36|400|00:32:41|840sixth type of cosmic electricity, the second type of the seventh type of force from out the many. 266|00:32:43|700|00:32:50|900And maybe, in some way, the numbers that go up would also be significant, but he's not speaking 267|00:32:50|900|00:33:00|080of that so much at the moment. Some idea of the relative point in evolution of the solar Logos (EA, p.40) 268|00:33:00|080|00:33:06|420because remember, he's not a sacred solar Logos, you know. He's still part of the—still part of 269|00:33:06|420|00:33:19|840the quaternary—quaternary of the Cosmic Logos in which he plays the role of heart center. So, you 270|00:33:19|840|00:33:30|200know, Sirius is not in the cosmic quaternary, but our Solar Logos is, and Venus too. As highly 271|00:33:30|200|00:33:37|720developed as it is for its age, so to speak—a precocious planet—Venus is in our solar systemic 272|00:33:39|340|00:33:45|560quaternary. You would think it would be in the triad above, but no, it's not. We are told, just think 273|00:33:45|560|00:33:51|420of a mind like the T.K.'s, you know. It doesn't have to go running around for references like this, but 274|00:33:51|420|00:33:56|700has it all so proximate, you know. All the different factors are so proximate in his mind that the 275|00:33:58|160|00:34:08|080Mercurian links can occur immediately. Well, one day, okay. So the Solar Logos is not a sacred Solar 276|00:34:08|080|00:34:19|540Logos. When he takes his kind of fifth initiation, or the third cosmic initiation, then he will be a 277|00:34:19|540|00:34:26|600sacred Solar Logos. And when we think about Sirius, certainly Sirius has taken his fifth secondary 278|00:34:26|600|00:34:35|960initiation and certainly his third cosmic initiation, because there is no evil, we are 279|00:34:35|960|00:34:43|640told, within the sunshine of that major Sun. And our Solar Logos, like our Planetary Logos, is still 280|00:34:43|640|00:34:49|700fighting it out with the negative forces. Some idea of the relative point in evolution of the 281|00:34:49|700|00:34:56|980solar Logos may be gained by study of the varying aspects of force which He is demonstrating 282|00:34:56|980|00:35:07|820in this particular incarnation. (EA, p.40) What? Just like for man, you know. Just as is the case for man, by the 283|00:35:07|820|00:35:17|520forces we habitually express, so something of our status, or let's call it spiritual status, can be 284|00:35:17|520|00:35:31|020gathered. It is this energy which drives the Monads through into physical incarnation, for it makes 285|00:35:31|020|00:35:40|740itself felt on the seventh plane. (EA, p.40) Well, in this case, you know, the term “burning the Sons of Desire” would 286|00:35:40|740|00:35:51|400make sense. And notice—notice the monad, in a way, or in a way in consciousness, it doesn't descend 287|00:35:51|400|00:35:57|660below a certain point. But except that, in a way, every type of consciousness is monadic consciousness. 288|00:35:57|660|00:36:05|220But the—the—the fact that it is the seventh Creative Hierarchy gives it a special resonance 289|00:36:05|220|00:36:15|120with the seventh plane and hence with the manifestation of the monad. You know what D.K. said? 290|00:36:15|120|00:36:20|540That by studying the physical and etheric body, you can sometimes tell what the monadic ray is 291|00:36:20|540|00:36:27|200because it's a very close correspondence between the spirit and densest matter. And this is the case 292|00:36:27|200|00:36:36|000especially when—the example he used was when a ray of aspect conditions the dense physical body 293|00:36:36|000|00:36:44|520and only rays of attribute are supplied for all the other rays of the personality. Then, in that 294|00:36:44|520|00:36:50|420case, you can tell, he said, that the individual is a first ray monad. It's the only ray of aspect on 295|00:36:50|420|00:36:58|320the personality, and somehow, apparently, the monad has reached with its quality to that lowest level. 296|00:36:58|320|00:37:02|960Just little snippets, you know. It's like a jigsaw puzzle—you just have a couple of little pieces, 297|00:37:02|960|00:37:13|600and you sort through many other pieces in the hope of seeing a connection. Okay, so this energy— 298|00:37:14|460|00:37:22|540this force of this second Creative Hierarchy—drives… Now, that's a good monadic word, isn't it? 299|00:37:23|140|00:37:32|240“Drives”—a good monadic word. Drives the monads through into physical incarnation. Well, what does 300|00:37:32|240|00:37:37|140that really mean? Physical incarnation can mean the incarnation in the dense physical body of the 301|00:37:37|140|00:37:44|520Logos, but let us also assume that it relates to the seventh solar or systemic plane, which is 302|00:37:44|520|00:37:52|520really the home of our incarnations in the Cancerian sense. We have physical matter and 303|00:37:52|520|00:38:00|660etheric matter right here on our lowest plane. The energies which are functioning are those which the 304|00:38:00|660|00:38:07|160Logos has unfolded, (EA, p.40) This implies that there are some that he has not unfolded, and are the gain 305|00:38:07|160|00:38:18|060of previous incarnations. (EA, p.40) telling us that the Logos has certainly had more than one incarnation— 306|00:38:19|180|00:38:27|120incarnation has a Solar Logos. In fact, he's had five, you know. We have to be careful using the word 307|00:38:27|720|00:38:33|220major solar system, and then just simply solar system. This is our second major solar system 308|00:38:33|220|00:38:41|800we're in right now, but it's our fifth solar system altogether.Gaps necessarily occur, (EA, p.40) just 309|00:38:41|800|00:38:49|700as in the development of a human being. We are not all equally developed according to our ray types. 310|00:38:49|700|00:38:56|940There tend to be discontinuities in our development, and certain types of force are lacking because He 311|00:38:56|940|00:39:05|640has as yet much cosmically to gain. (EA, p.40) And I, perhaps mental forces, because that's what he's 312|00:39:05|640|00:39:12|960working on now. Perhaps mental forces, although you know the mental body is expressing through Leo, the 313|00:39:12|960|00:39:18|560astral body is expressing through Virgo. Does this mean that somehow through the seventh sign, Libra, 314|00:39:20|740|00:39:28|680the etheric physical body will be expressing? Because if you think about it, Libra has as its 315|00:39:28|680|00:39:36|680hierarchical ruler Saturn, and Saturn is the lord of the entire cosmic physical plane. So here is the 316|00:39:36|680|00:39:42|460planet Saturn expressing most powerfully in Libra, and it is also the lord of the cosmic physical 317|00:39:42|460|00:39:50|120plane. So perhaps through this particular hierarchy something very tangible and material will be 318|00:39:50|120|00:40:02|080working out, and especially in relation to the lowest area of the expression of the solar Logos, 319|00:40:02|080|00:40:12|140namely his very, very densest plane, which would be allied to the matter of the previous solar system 320|00:40:12|140|00:40:19|200over which Saturn has something to say and has some rulership there. But so many mysteries 321|00:40:19|200|00:40:24|500here. You can see what it would be like to be… maybe we can intuit what it would be like to be a member 322|00:40:24|500|00:40:30|740of the astrological department of the hierarchy and have to take into consideration all of these 323|00:40:30|740|00:40:40|260planetary, interplanetary, intra-systemic, and extra-systemic forces, all in their many cycles, helping us 324|00:40:40|260|00:40:45|700know what time it is and what we have to do and what energies we have to express accordingly. 325|00:40:47|020|00:40:54|800All right. He has as yet much cosmically to gain. (EA, p.40) Well, hopefully there's a little something there 326|00:40:54|800|00:41:04|020that is telling us something about the second Creative Hierarchy, the Divine Builders, as the 327|00:41:04|020|00:41:11|120second ray is the form-building ray. And Ray Two is very powerful with them, conferring soul or 328|00:41:11|120|00:41:18|120expanding the consciousness. Jupiter, its planet, is the expander of consciousness. Are they burning 329|00:41:18|120|00:41:26|300Sons of Desire? Well, they certainly, out of sacrificial desire, long to descend into the five 330|00:41:26|300|00:41:36|320lower worlds and redeem them. That's our essential nature, which we have somewhat forgotten. We are 331|00:41:36|320|00:41:45|840kind of a part of these beings, or an emanation of these beings, and we have that great desire to help 332|00:41:45|840|00:41:56|320the solar Logos lift up the vibratory fields which are much more in tune with the previous 333|00:41:56|320|00:42:04|560solar system than with this whole system. So we are re-patterning them. That is one of our monadic 334|00:42:05|440|00:42:12|420tasks as Lords of Ceaseless and Persevering Devotion. Say, take a look: the monad has devotion. 335|00:42:12|420|00:42:21|300It's not something to be eschewed, you know. Devotion is a great factor in the 336|00:42:21|300|00:42:27|000soul nature, factor in the monadic nature, factor in the planetary Logos himself, a factor in our 337|00:42:27|000|00:42:35|040solar Logos. When we have a term that we seem to have outlived, let us be careful that we discuss 338|00:42:35|040|00:42:42|060only the outliving of that quality on a particular level and not the outliving of that quality as it 339|00:42:42|060|00:42:48|880appears on much higher levels. There we haven't outlived anything. It is the energy of this 340|00:42:48|880|00:43:01|120Hierarchy which results in the manifestation of the Divine Androgyne, (EA, p.40) which is the male-female soul 341|00:43:01|120|00:43:13|040and also a name for the planetary Logos, and in the seven centers of force, which are the seven 342|00:43:13|040|00:43:25|160Spiritual Energies. (EA, p.40) and on the monadic plane, are seven great groupings of monads. 343|00:43:29|340|00:43:42|200Oh, why can't I get that? Monads… yeah, probably within the field of these seven… of seven great 344|00:43:42|200|00:43:52|360beings in this second Creative Hierarchy, seven manifested Creative Hierarchy. The Divine 345|00:43:52|360|00:44:01|340Androgyne… well, there's a male-female balance, as there always is with the number two. Think about Gemini 346|00:44:01|980|00:44:08|920related to the second ray, and think about the polarities, male and female polarities, and how 347|00:44:08|920|00:44:14|490the sign Gemini has a particular connection. You know, when you think about it, it just struck me: 348|00:44:14|490|00:44:27|650look at the monad in relation to the signs of the mutable cross. In Virgo, the monad enunciates 349|00:44:27|650|00:44:37|440the great ideal through Kriyashakti. Through… I said Virgo. Through Pisces, the monad 350|00:44:37|440|00:44:49|500seeks to save. Through Gemini, the great dualities of male-female are expressed and are united on 351|00:44:49|500|00:44:58|580that plane, but still are incipient in their two-ness, in their duality, and must go forth as 352|00:44:58|580|00:45:06|160the two lines of energy. And in Sagittarius—this is the fourth part of the mutable cross that I'm 353|00:45:06|160|00:45:15|940The great journey is taken, the journey down through the five planes, the five Brahmic 354|00:45:15|940|00:45:21|370planes. And Sagittarius, as well, reorients that at a certain point when you're ready to take 355|00:45:22|180|00:45:30|420the path of higher evolution. Sagittarius is oriented towards that great journey. Sagittarius 356|00:45:30|420|00:45:37|360journeys down, Sagittarius journeys up. So we have the four signs of the common mutable cross, all 357|00:45:37|360|00:45:49|080closely involved in the monad. And as I explained — I think I did — that the seventh initiation has 358|00:45:49|080|00:45:57|120a very Geminian quality, and that that is taken by the monad on both love and wisdom, in relation 359|00:45:57|120|00:46:04|360to both love and wisdom, and in relation to the seventh plane. Okay, well, there — you know, so much 360|00:46:04|360|00:46:10|560we can do with the numbers. And every time we mention connections with numbers, new rays of 361|00:46:10|560|00:46:19|680light potentially flash forth. But it's not so much of a question of what can be known, although that 362|00:46:19|680|00:46:28|820is tantalizing, but what is useful to know. That's the important thing. And useful in what way? Useful 363|00:46:28|820|00:46:35|520in helping us accomplish what must be accomplished here in our lower worlds in order to serve the 364|00:46:35|520|00:46:42|320divine plan at this time. But, you know, just like pure research, many practical applications come 365|00:46:42|320|00:46:47|680out of pure research. You think you're searching for one thing, and all of a sudden a new application 366|00:46:47|680|00:46:53|420appears. Well, it's the same way when we study these great abstract subjects. We sometimes say, 367|00:46:53|420|00:47:00|160“Well, of what earthly use are they?” And then suddenly something flashes which gives us an 368|00:47:00|160|00:47:09|120immediate application in the lower three worlds. So I think the analogy is valid. Oh, goodness, well, 369|00:47:09|120|00:47:19|580there we are at hierarchy number three. Imagine that. You know, this is — this is speculation, but 370|00:47:19|580|00:47:27|280hopefully there's wild speculation of the dark and concrete mind, and then there's the possibility 371|00:47:28|900|00:47:37|660that the mind may be held steady in the light of the soul, and that some aspects of triadic 372|00:47:38|620|00:47:45|980realization may come through via the partially built Antahkarana, and that Mercury may serve his 373|00:47:45|980|00:47:54|540function, and that accordingly the jungle of illusion may dissolve in flames, and the path 374|00:47:54|540|00:48:00|780stand free or clear. Okay, hierarchy number three — now we're getting all down to earth. 375|00:48:01|920|00:48:11|220This is a Brahmic hierarchy, the third. Let's take a look at it. Lesser builders conferring form, the 376|00:48:11|220|00:48:17|280triple flowers, the third creative hierarchy. It's the eighth down, and the third ray is expressed in the 377|00:48:17|280|00:48:23|820manifested worlds. Eight and three, as I discussed, being very much related to Mercury and to 378|00:48:23|820|00:48:34|080intelligence. Libra, the planet Saturn, the color green, the third ray — green. Jnana Shakti, which is 379|00:48:34|080|00:48:40|620the Shakti of knowledge, the force of mind, water as it represents matter and the astral plane, and 380|00:48:40|620|00:48:49|910the number five — yet another mental number. You know, the secrets of the ageless wisdom are concealed in 381|00:48:52|590|00:49:02|290number, signs, and symbols, and it's all just waiting to be unveiled if we can ever stop 382|00:49:02|290|00:49:11|410fighting with each other and emphasizing a narrow consciousness and a desire nature which acts on 383|00:49:11|410|00:49:17|530the basis of that narrow consciousness. We have to outlive that. Hierarchy III.The third Creative 384|00:49:17|530|00:49:22|990Hierarchy (or the eighth) (EA, p.40) from a higher point of view, hence connected with the eighth sphere — 385|00:49:22|990|00:49:31|590interestingly, is a peculiarly interesting one. They are called “the Triads” (EA, p.40) capital T, for They hold in 386|00:49:31|590|00:49:40|970themselves the potency of triple evolution, mental, psychical, and spiritual. (EA, p.40) So here we have the three 387|00:49:40|970|00:49:53|590aspects of the spiritual triad which these lives seem to nourish. But just as we said of the second 388|00:49:53|590|00:50:00|590Creative Hierarchy, they are the prototypes of the monads — much higher than the monads. Well, then, this 389|00:50:00|590|00:50:06|970group has a lot to do with influencing the spiritual triads of man, but are probably much 390|00:50:06|970|00:50:14|570higher than the spiritual triads of man. These Triads of Life are inherently the three Persons 391|00:50:14|570|00:50:24|430of the Trinity (EA, p.40) so they are reflecting in man the higher Trinity which the planetary Logos has, 392|00:50:24|430|00:50:31|070which the solar Logos has. Here's a — here's a kind of a picture of a Trinity, if I may. Yeah, right 393|00:50:31|070|00:50:40|850here. Amazing. Here is a Trinity gathered around Sanat Kumara, and these first, second, or third 394|00:50:40|850|00:50:50|330Kumaras are the three Buddhas of Activity. Here's the Trinity gathered around the Solar Logos, so the 395|00:50:50|330|00:51:00|950Logos is right up there, and they are the — the Trimurti, the three persons systemically considered. 396|00:51:00|950|00:51:10|430And we have our spiritual triad reflecting this Trinity. These Triads of Life are inherently, 397|00:51:10|430|00:51:17|310inherently, the three persons of the Trinity. You know, we are the Trinity. We don't have to believe 398|00:51:17|310|00:51:24|030in it — of course, believing helps to start out with — but we discover that we are that. And the Trinity 399|00:51:24|030|00:51:33|550of the spirit soul's psychical nature and mentality. Art within us and the flower 400|00:51:33|550|00:51:43|090of the earlier system from a certain angle. (EA, p.40) This makes you wonder whether a Creative Hierarchy 401|00:51:43|090|00:51:56|210too did not per se flower in the previous solar system, but merely was there sacrificially, as they 402|00:51:56|210|00:52:10|830as they could not descend very low in that system. So perhaps this is a genuine product of the 403|00:52:10|830|00:52:20|930previous system, the full flowering of that system. I always suspect that this Creative Hierarchy, the 404|00:52:20|930|00:52:29|330third, is higher than the fifth Creative Hierarchy, though, because the fifth Creative Hierarchy of 405|00:52:29|330|00:52:37|810Solar Angels is dual. You never know exactly from whence the higher aspect of that hierarchy 406|00:52:39|290|00:52:46|270emanated. In other words, it may be so that the fifth Creative Hierarchy in its lowest aspect 407|00:52:46|270|00:52:53|910is in fact lower than man, but that the Fifth Creative hierarchy in its higher aspect is really 408|00:52:53|910|00:53:03|390much higher than man. This is the mystery, and perhaps after putting together many speculations 409|00:53:03|390|00:53:13|850and many errors, convincing ideas may emerge. From another angle, when studied as the “flower of the 410|00:53:13|850|00:53:25|670earlier Eight,” (EA, p.40) —eight are the earlier eight—They are the eightfold points awaiting opportunity to flame 411|00:53:25|670|00:53:40|530forth. (EA, p.40) Well, this tells us they have not flamed forth fully and are not fully liberated onto the 412|00:53:40|530|00:53:47|530cosmic astral plane. Now there's eight, and there's eight. You know, when we think of eight, 413|00:53:48|590|00:53:55|650there are, in a way, eight planes connected with our solar system, but one of them is considered very low 414|00:53:55|650|00:54:04|870and below the threshold. Now, was there an earlier rate? Were there, in fact, seven—thus eight—planes in 415|00:54:04|870|00:54:14|010our previous solar system? What use that earlier eight? Were they eightfold in that previous solar 416|00:54:14|010|00:54:22|570system and use their eightfoldness in this present solar system far more flaming? They seem to be 417|00:54:22|570|00:54:30|170certainly an intellectual hierarchy, mental hierarchy. Even the symbol of the fleur-de-lis is 418|00:54:30|170|00:54:40|150interestingly correlated with very intellectual, mental France, whose rays are the 419|00:54:40|150|00:54:46|310five and the three. And perhaps there's something to do with the number eight in France 420|00:54:46|310|00:54:52|830as well, because there have been problems in France with the number eight on the lower side 421|00:54:52|830|00:55:00|650during the time of the French kings, as D.K. tells us. But also the great Christ impulse through the 422|00:55:00|650|00:55:07|550Piscean soul of France, which flourished in some respect during the Middle Ages and which has yet 423|00:55:07|550|00:55:15|610to flourish fully in its scientific sensitivity to soul—that's the blend of its fifth ray and 424|00:55:15|610|00:55:23|890its Pisces soul, fifth ray soul, Pisces soul. They are the devas who are ready for service, which is 425|00:55:23|890|00:55:31|390to give to another Hierarchy certain qualities which are lacking. (EA, p.40-41) Which hierarchy is that? The 426|00:55:31|390|00:55:40|670human hierarchy—which the human—because, in a way, think about it: they are immediately above the 427|00:55:40|670|00:55:49|710human hierarchy. So one usually bestows or gives to a lesser hierarchy—immediately lesser—that 428|00:55:49|710|00:55:59|790which one can, just like we, the human hierarchy, are in a way giving to the lower group of the 429|00:55:59|790|00:56:06|830fifth grade of hierarchy, who are the personality. We are, in a way, the redeemers of that type of 430|00:56:06|830|00:56:12|990energy which is personality, and we have a great deal of help from the higher aspect of the fifth 431|00:56:12|990|00:56:19|930grade of hierarchy, the solar Angels. The mystery deepens, doesn't it? You know, I find myself having 432|00:56:19|930|00:56:27|150to read this, of course, very closely in order to make some sense out of it, and then new thoughts 433|00:56:27|150|00:56:36|810do come with very close reading. You know, D.K. was always saying, “Look, you people, you don't read 434|00:56:36|810|00:56:43|050in a book like Esoteric Astrology or A Treatise on Cosmic Fire,” you know, which was beyond what 435|00:56:43|050|00:56:52|850Alice Bailey really could know, obviously. And he's given such attention to the word, even though, you 436|00:56:52|850|00:56:59|770know, English is, kind of, in A.A.B.'s words, kind of an inelastic tongue. The Tibetan is a master of 437|00:56:59|770|00:57:05|890English language, and certainly in the philosophical aspects of it, and he's so careful. So we have to be 438|00:57:05|890|00:57:13|590careful too. And this presents a great issue for translators, doesn't it? Because, as A.A.B. said, “Well, 439|00:57:13|590|00:57:18|670you know, I stopped believing in the literal word of the Bible when I saw the problems that existed 440|00:57:18|670|00:57:26|790in translation.” So it's always hard to get the exactitude of the term. This hierarchy is regarded 441|00:57:26|790|00:57:33|110as the great donors of immortality whilst Themselves “standing aloof from incarnation.” (EA, p.41) 442|00:57:33|110|00:57:42|870What is incarnation in this respect? Incarnation is involvement with the dense physical body of 443|00:57:44|030|00:57:51|390the solar Logos. Lords of Sacrifice and Love are They, but They cannot pass out of the logoic etheric 444|00:57:51|390|00:57:59|770body into the dense physical vehicle.(EA, p.41) Well, we have our plane of purposeful expression. 445|00:57:59|770|00:58:06|130This is the Buddhic fourth plane, the lowest plane in the cosmic ethers. But we have passed— 446|00:58:06|130|00:58:15|430we have passed through, not as monads perhaps, or even as souls, but in part of our awareness, 447|00:58:15|430|00:58:20|670we have passed through and are working in the three lower worlds. But these do not… Now, the solar 448|00:58:20|670|00:58:27|690Angels have really undertaken a sacrifice, because they have passed through. There's an aspect 449|00:58:27|690|00:58:32|150of their nature which is definitely focused on the higher mental plane, which is in the dense 450|00:58:32|150|00:58:38|110physical body of the Solar Logos. They have passed through, but these are beings being somewhat higher. 451|00:58:38|110|00:58:44|530We will review them in our next discussion: “Great donors of immortality,” and that's the number eight. 452|00:58:46|270|00:58:56|570Because eight—eight is death, and eight is immortality. Indeed. All right, well, we are there. 453|00:58:56|570|00:59:05|450It's time to say The Great Invocation. We have finished here, up to a point, and this is the end 454|00:59:05|450|00:59:21|170of E.A. 19, and we are on page 41. So let us sound The Great Invocation together and close ritually 455|00:59:21|170|00:59:48|450as we normally do: “From the point of light within the mind of God, let light stream forth into the 456|00:59:48|450|00:59:57|850minds of men. Let light descend on earth. From the point of love within the heart of God, let 457|00:59:57|850|01:00:07|950love stream forth into the hearts of men. May Christ return to earth. From the center where 458|01:00:07|950|01:00:15|150the will of God is known, let purpose guide the little wills of men—the purpose which the Masters 459|01:00:15|150|01:00:24|710know and serve. From the center which we call the race of men, let the plan of love and light work 460|01:00:24|710|01:00:35|310out, and may it seal the door where evil dwells. Let light and love and power restore the plan 461|01:00:35|310|01:00:36|950on earth.” 462|01:01:09|690|01:01:30|270Okay, we have gone to page 41, and I think we began on page 39—39. Two pages per time. 463|01:01:30|270|01:01:42|790Well, it's deep matter. We'll see whether we go any faster later. Page 39 to 41. Okay, friends, this 464|01:01:42|790|01:01:55|090is the conclusion of Esoteric Astrology Adventure number 19, and we will see you for number 20. I'd 465|01:01:55|090|01:01:58|850like to be able to keep these things going so we at least have the illusion of progress, 466|01:01:59|910|01:02:03|470and we'll do our best accordingly. See you soon.
