The Externalization of the Hierarchy - Section IV - Stages in the
Externalization
In Connection with the Council Chamber of Sanat
Kumara, the Lord of the WorldAs this subject concerns one of the seven goals
towards which the Masters aim after They have attained the fifth initiation, it will be
obvious to you that there is little that I can say about it. One of the seven Paths for
which the Way of the Higher Evolution prepares the senior initiates is the Path of Earth
Service. This Path, as you know, keeps the Masters attached to service in the three worlds
for a period much longer than the average. It involves tremendous sacrifice. [532] Just as
the disciple has to live a dual life, with one part of his reflective nature and awareness
centered in the life of the Hierarchy and the other part of his mental responsiveness
equally centered on life in the three worlds, and this simultaneously, so the Master, when
He chooses this Path, forms a constituent part of the Council Chamber of the Lord of the
World and at the same time works consciously in the three worlds, via the Hierarchy (of
which He remains also a part), and with the human and subhuman kingdoms in nature. As
evolution proceeds, He will work increasingly via humanity because humanity will be
shouldering its responsibilities as the Macrocosm of the lesser microcosm. This dual
activity entails much specialized training, and as the initiatory process becomes exoteric
and men everywhere recognize it and participate in it, the training which Members of the
Hierarchy also undergo will not be so secret and mysterious as it is today. But the time
has not yet come to publicize it.
Only
certain further generalizations are here possible, some of which are already known to you
because they are so broad that their inclusions and implications are obvious. This, for
instance, concerns the "center where the Will of God is known". Here at
Shamballa work Those Who have unified Their personality will and Their spiritual will with
the universal will, and such a unification inevitably brings knowledge. It is, however,
not knowledge as you understand it. It is a blend of wisdom based on knowledge,
understanding based on intuitive perception, and identification based on alignment,
esoterically comprehended. For this peculiar condition or awareness we have no word in any
language, and only the utilization (the trained utilization) of the abstract mind can
possibly convey to you even an embryonic factual conception. But that type of imaginative
conception will become more common during the next two centuries, and my words here will
therefore serve an ultimate purpose. Those Who form the Council Chamber of the Great Lord
are under no misapprehension as to His will because They [533] see it whole. Paul,
the initiate, hints at this when writing one of the Epistles; he is in touch then with
certain Members of the Hierarchy and is concerned with the theme of Love, which is the
fundamental hierarchical theme and motive. He says to Them: "Now we see through a
glass darkly, but then face to face; now we know in part, but then shall we know even as
we are known." He there points towards the future progress of the Hierarchy - a
progress which remains as yet only a vague promise, lacking form and shape. But he wrote
for initiates to whom love was a growing, vital concern, and to whom love and its practice
meant light and the basic motif of all living, divine activity. It is not possible to
reveal the will of God and the motivating Purpose of His manifesting Self, except to Those
Who have demonstrated perfected love and Who register no sense of disunion or the faintest
reaction to separateness.
At
Shamballa, the Great Lives Who function there not only see manifestation whole and apart
from all the limitations of time, but They feel all the major evolutionary
impulses which are bringing the developing world into line with the divine Will. They
embody those impulses not in terms of progressive movement, but in terms of one great
divine and spiritual reaction. This idea can perhaps be best understood by you in terms of
the Eternal AUM which is the symbol of the Eternal NOW. You have been
told, and it has been demonstrated, that the AUM is composed of one major Sound, three
minor sounds, and seven subsidiary vibratory tones. So it is with the Will of God which is
embodied and held in synthesis by the Members of the Council Chamber. To Them, as They
"hold the Will of God in solution, it is one clear note; as They see that Will in
motion, it is three abiding chords, carrying outwards into all the worlds the Purpose of
the ONE Who for aeons will abide; as They impel that Will to demonstrate, it is
seven vibratory tones, drawing out into the reflected worlds the structure of the Plan.
And thus the note, the chords and tone produce the Plan, reveal the Purpose and indicate
God's Will." This [534] is a quotation from certain of the ancient Archives which
constitute the study of the Masters; they relate to the nature of Shamballa, its work and
emanating energies.
Shamballa,
as it constitutes the synthesis of understanding where our Earth is concerned, is also the
center where the highest Will of the Solar Logos is imposed upon the Will of our planetary
Logos, Who is, as you know, only a center in His greater body of manifestation. With this
item of information you can have no possible concern; the Masters Themselves are only
learning the Will of the planetary Logos; the objective of effort in Shamballa is,
however, the apprehension of solar Purpose, the Plan of which is working out on the
highest levels of our planetary system, just as the Will, Purpose and Plan of Shamballa
work out on the three lowest levels of our planetary system. Again, this item of
information serves only to indicate hierarchical objectives, and those objectives extend
away from time and space into the Mind of God Himself.
