The full moon approach to the Hierarchy
The time of the full moon is a period when spiritual
energies are uniquely available and facilitate a closer rapport between humanity
and the Hierarchy. Each month the inflowing energies carry the specific
qualities of the constellation influencing the particular month; these energies,
playing sequentially upon humanity, establish the "divine attributes" in the
consciousness of humanity. As aspirants and disciples we seek to channel the
spiritual inflow into human minds and hearts, and thus strengthen the link
between the human kingdom and the Kingdom of God.
Entrance upon the Path of Approach is possible for individuals, for groups, and
for humanity as a whole as a unit. Energies not usually or normally contacted,
can be touched, grasped and utilised at the time of these Approaches, provided
that they are contacted in group formation. Thus the individual, the group and
humanity are enriched and vitalised.
KEYNOTE of the full moon Approach to the Hierarchy:
"He who faces the light and
stands within its radiance is blinded to the issues of the world of men; he
passes on the Lighted Way to the great Centre of Absorption. But he who feels
the urge to pass that way, yet loves his brother on the darkened path, revolves
upon the pedestal of light and turns the other way.
He faces towards the dark and then the seven points of light within himself
transmit the outward streaming light, and lo! the face of those upon the
darkened way receives that light. For them, the way is not so dark. Behind the
warriors—twixt the light and dark—blazes the light of Hierarchy."
MEDITATION: LETTING IN THE LIGHT
I. GROUP FUSION
We affirm the fact of group fusion and integration within the heart centre of the new group of world servers, mediating between Hierarchy and humanity:
I am one
with nay group brothers, and all that I have is theirs.
May the love which is in my soul pour forth to them.
May the strength which is in me lift and aid them.
May the thoughts which my soul creates reach and encourage them.
II. ALIGNMENT
We project a line of lighted energy towards the spiritual
Hierarchy of the planet, the planetary heart, the great Ashram of Sanat Kumara;
and towards the Christ at the heart of Hierarchy.
Extend the line of light towards Shamballa, the centre where the Will of God is
known.
III. HIGHER INTERLUDE
Hold the contemplative mind open to the extra-planetary energies streaming into Shamballa and radiated through Hierarchy. Using the creative imagination, endeavour to see the three planetary centres—Shamballa, Hierarchy, and Humanity—gradually coming into alignment and interplay.
IV. MEDITATION
Reflect on the seed thought—using the appropriate keynote for the zodiacal sign.
V. PRECIPITATION
Using the creative imagination, visualise the energies of Light, Love and the Will-to-Good pouring throughout the planet and becoming anchored on Earth in prepared physical plane centres through which the Plan can manifest. (Use the six-fold progression of divine Love as the sequence of energy precipitation—Shamballa/Hierarchy/the Christ/the new group of world servers/men and women of goodwill everywhere in the world/physical centres of distribution.)
VI. LOWER INTERLUDE
Refocus the consciousness, as a group, within the periphery of the great Ashram. Together sound the affirmation:
In the
centre of all Love I stand From that centre I, the soul, will outward move.
Front that centre I, the one who serves, will work.
May the love of the divine Self be shed abroad, in my heart, through my group,
and throughout the world.
Visualise the downpouring spiritual inflow released from Shamballa through the Hierarchy and streaming into humanity through the prepared channel. Consider how these inpouring energies are establishing the "Pathway of Light" for the coming World Teacher, the Christ.
VII. DISTRIBUTION
As the Great Invocation is sounded, visualise the outpouring of Light and Love and Power from the spiritual Hierarchy through the five planetary inlets (London/ Darjeeling/New-York/Geneva/Tokyo) irradiating the consciousness of the whole human race:
From the point of Light
within the Mind of God
Let light stream forth into the minds of men.
Let Light descend on Earth.
From the point of Love
within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into the hearts of men.
May Christ return to Earth.
From the centre where
the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little wills of men—
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.
From the centre which we
call the race of men
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.
Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.
