of the First Ray Ashram

The Ray of Will and Power

(Version 6.2: Revised 05Feb04)

 

1.                 Before beginning the meditation, blow softly into the pitch pipe on the red note “C” or the orange “D” establishing the Keynote and Key-color that you will be using in this first ray meditation. Then quietly sound the OM once on your chosen note and in your chosen color.

2.                  Render all aspects of the personality (and the personality itself) quiet and receptive to the soul.

3.                  Realize that the meditation that we are now performing is essentially a group meditation.

4.                  As a soul-in-incarnation, acknowledge the group of souls forming the group soul which (through the use of this meditation) is seeking to serve humanity and the world subjectively along the second ray/first ray line.

5.                  Align with the causal body/Egoic Lotus—the ‘best that is in you’—the accumulated quality harvested from many incarnations. Focus your consciousness within this ‘truer home’ upon the higher mental plane.

6.                  Imaginatively recognize the group causal body/Egoic Lotus—the ‘best that is in us’.

7.                  Extend the alignment to the supervising Solar Angel (the Angel of the Presence) and feels its presence pervading and infusing the causal body/Egoic Lotus and, by extension, the personality.

8.                  Imaginatively recognize the unity of all Solar Angels associated with the meditating group and attempt to feel the presence of those Solar Angels pervading and infusing the group causal body/Egoic Lotus, and by extension the group personality.

9.                  Silently or very quietly sound the OM, visualize the individual antahkarana scintillating with color, but especially the two colors of your soul and personality rays (if known), or with the two archetypal colors of indigo blue for the soul and yellow for the personality (if the rays of the soul and personality are not known).

10.             Establish the vibrancy of the antahkarana by sounding (silently or very quietly) the Word of Power of your soul ray (if known) or the Word of Power of the second ray (if the soul ray is not known) ‘across’ the visualized “rainbow bridge” linking the mental unit on the fourth subplane of the mental plane with the mental permanent atom on the first subplane of the mental plane. Slowly repeat the Word of Power until you sense the link established.          

Words of Power:

a.                   First Ray: I Assert the Fact
b.                   Second Ray: I See the Greatest Light
c.                   Third Ray: Purpose Itself am I
d.                   Fourth Ray: Two Merge with One
e.                   Fifth Ray: Three Minds Unite
f.                     Sixth Ray: The Highest Light Controls
g.                   Seventh Ray: The Highest and the Lowest Meet

11.             Visualize the contribution of ‘your’ antahkarana to the group antahkarana and affirm the potency of both as you repeat the Word of Power.

12.             Continuing the very quiet or silent use of the “Word of Power”, imaginatively extend the 'reach' of the individual and group antahkaranas until they seem to 'touch' the buddhic and the atmic planes (intuition and spiritual will), and, if possible, the monadic plane, whereon is focussed the microcosmic point of pure being—the monad.

13.             Attempt for a moment to ‘feel’ this alignment from the ‘highest’ to the ‘lowest’ aspects of your nature, and, by extension, the group nature. Realize that all monads are One Monad.

14.             In concert with the group soul of the group of souls with whom you share meditative intent, imaginatively align with the First Ray Ashram, visualizing the Master Morya (the Head of all esoteric schools and organizations) at its center.

15.             Identified with the group soul, seek to attune to the Master Morya and what He represents, then quietly (or meditatively) say: “Salutations to the Master Morya—OM”. (If it can be done with relative ease and accuracy, sound the OM in red on the note C, or in red-orange on the note D)

16.             In concert with the group soul of the group of souls with whom you share meditative intent, imaginatively align with the First Department of Hierarchy, imaginatively visualizing the Manu at its center.

17.             Identified with the group soul, seek to attune to the Manu and what He represents, then quietly (or meditatively) say: “Salutations to the Manu of the Fifth Root Race—OM”. (If it can be done with relative ease and accuracy, sound the OM in red on the note C, or in red-orange on the note D)

18.             In concert with the group soul of the group of souls with whom you share meditative intent, imaginatively align with the Spiritual Hierarchy of the Planet visualizing the Christ, the Lord Maitreya, at its center.

19.             Identified with the group soul, seek to attune to the Christ and what He represents, then quietly (or meditatively) say: “Salutations to the Christ, the Master of All Masters—OM(If it can be done with relative ease and accuracy, sound the OM in red on the note C, or in red-orange on the note D)

20.             In concert with the group soul of the group of souls with whom you share meditative intent, imaginatively align with Sanat Kumara at the Center of Shamballa--the “Center Where the Will of God is Known”.

21.             Identified with the group soul, imaginatively seek to attune to Sanat Kumara and all He represents. Send gratitude towards Sanat Kumara, then quietly (or meditatively) say: “Salutation to Sanat Kumara, King of Shamballa—OM”. (If it can be done with relative ease and accuracy, sound the OM in red on the note C, or in red-orange on the note D)

22.             Identified as a group soul attempt to realize that the Purpose of Sanat Kumara, the Lord of the World, is an aspect of the Purpose of our Solar Logos and, in general, relates to the transformation of the Earth into a sacred planet.

23.             Continuing identification as a group soul, seek to become impressionable (to however slight a degree) to the Purpose of Sanat Kumara. That Purpose is expressed through seven subsidiary purposes correlated with the Seven Rays. (cf. R&I 241-247)

24.             Meditate on the relationship between Purpose and Plan, and how the Divine Purpose of Sanat Kumara is transformed by the Spiritual Hierarchy into the Divine Plan. In what way and by what means does the Divine Plan (as far as you can understand it) reflect or express the Divine Purpose?

25.             Visualize the stream of the first ray energy of Will and Power pouring from Sanat Kumara through the First Buddha of Activity, and the First “Ray Lord” in Shamballa, and reaching the Manu (the Head of the Department of Government), and thereafter passing through the Master Jupiter, coming to focus in the Master Morya (the Chohan Who is the present Head of the First Ray Ashram) and passing through all Masters, initiates and disciples found in the First Ray Ashram.

26.             Ponder deeply on the nature and purpose of the First Ray Ashram, recognizing it as an aspect of the Second Ray soul of our planet Earth, imbedded within our Second Ray Solar System.

27.             Meditate upon the hierarchical mission of the Master Morya in relation to the human race and the responsibility of ashramically affiliated initiates and disciples in relation to the mission of this Master.

28.             Let the consecrated meditating group welcome into its energy system the energy of the Red Ray of Will and Power—visualizing its descent as follows (while silently thinking or very quietly repeating the First Ray Word of Power—I Assert the Fact):

a.                  reaching Sanat Kumara from cosmic and extra-planetary sources:

      i.                  The One About Whom Naught May Be Said and its appropriate constellational chakra (TCF 293) affiliated with the first star, Benetnasch/Alkaid, in the Great Bear. (That constellational chakra may well be the Great Bear—Ursa Major—considered as a whole.),

      ii.                  The zodiacal constellations Aries, Leo, and Capricorn

      iii.                  Our Blue Logos—Sol,

      iv.                  The Entity “Vishnu” of our Solar System (the most influential of Three Entities surrounding the Solar Logos),

      v.                  The Entity “Shiva” of our Solar System (one of Three Entities surrounding the Solar Logos),

      vi.                  Vulcan, Pluto (and other planets related to the first ray)

b.                  and streaming from Sanat Kumara in Shamballa (thus involving our monad in the flow),

c.                  through the first Buddha of Activity,

d.                  and the First Shamballic “Ray Lord”

e.                  through the Manu,

f.                    the Master Jupiter,

g.                  and the Master Morya,

h.                  and the First Ray Masters initiates and disciples,

i.                    into Hierarchy as a whole focussed within the Spiritual Triad, (and received on the first subray of any particular Ashram),

j.                     through Solar Angels on the first ray—

k.                  passing from and through the spiritual will of the atmic plane

l.                     into the will petals of the group-Egoic Lotus (of the group soul),

m.                into the mental body of the group,

n.                  entering the group(etheric)-brain,

o.                  and anchoring at the group-center-at-the-base-of-the spine ,

p.                  and returning to the group-crown center {of purpose} and there focussing (cf. EP II, p. 386-387).     

Maintain the sense that all this incoming energy is shared and distributed amongst the members of the meditating group and is not centralized in your energy-system alone.

29.             Utilizing a self-chosen symbol for the first ray, feel the group soul increasingly imbued by this great first ray energy until it becomes full to overflowing—ready to distribute first ray energy for the sake of humanity and the planet.      

(Sample Symbols: Sword, scepter, gavel, point-within-the-circle, straight upright line, flame, etc.)

30.             Scan the lower three worlds of our planet (the physical, astral and mental planes) and locate an 'areas of need' which you find greatly in need of the energy of Will and Power.

31.             Ponder on the need you have chosen and how to meet that need.

32.             Thoughtfully, lovingly and purposefully direct first ray energy into those areas. (Points 32 and 33 describe how this may be done.)

33.             (First ray energy can be utilized, for example:

a.                   wherever the “greatest good of the greatest number” is required;

b.                   wherever there is a need for selfless leadership;

c.                   wherever inspired statesmanship is required;

d.                   where governments are unjust and insensitive to the needs and progress of the people;

e.                   wherever leaders, rulers, kings and their governments are corrupt;

f.                     wherever laws are conceived, made and enforced—whether on family, group, community, state, national or international levels;

g.                   wherever strong expressions of will, power and endurance are required;

h.                   wherever spiritual triumph over opposing forces is necessary;

i.                     wherever the subordination and mastery of lower forces by higher energies is required;

j.                     wherever destructive practices must be stopped and redirected into better channels;

k.                   wherever self-sacrifice for the sake of high principles is required;

l.                     wherever a new and purposeful direction is needed;

m.                 wherever death is needed to bring release and new opportunity;

n.                   wherever withdrawal and abstraction are the indicated ways for progress;

o.                   wherever an identification with pure being is required;

p.                   etc.)

34.             During any particular meditation, select one of these areas of need, or choose an area of need based upon you own sense of planetary need., and—

a.                    (cognizant of an alignment beginning with cosmic, systemic and extra-planetary sources,

b.                    thence to and from Sanat Kumara in Shamballa {thus, involving our monad in the flow},

c.                    through the First Buddha of Activity,

d.                    and First Shamballic “Ray Lord”,

e.                    passing eventually through the Manu,

f.                     the Master Jupiter,

g.                    to the Master Morya {the Head of the First Ray Ashram},

h.                    and the Masters, initiates and disciples of the First Ray Ashram,

i.                      into Hierarchy as a whole, (received on the first subray of any particular Ashram),

j.                      and ending with the appropriate petals and chakras of the group soul and group personality of the meditating group)—

Direct the stream of the Ray of Will and Power, into the chosen area of need, seeing the redemptive effects of the stream unfold before your inner eye.

35.             After you direct the ray into your chosen area of need and watch the “Good” emerge, pause for a moment and say quietly (or silently) to yourself, “For the Christ’s sake and the Glory of His Name, I ask that this be done”.

36.             Carefully formulate a definite, redemptive thought or mantram expressive of the first ray, designed to assist humanity as well as the First Ray Ashram in its service objectives on behalf of humanity. Once formulated, repeat the thought or mantram to yourself to strengthen it.

37.             Breathe that thought or mantram forth three times into the human thought stream on the sound of the OM (when possible on the note C in Red or the note D in “Roaring-Orange”.

38.             United with the group soul, and utilizing the color Red or Red-Orange (and the crown center, ajna center, heart center and the centers in the palms of the hands as agents of distribution), pour forth the blessings of the First Ray Stream of “Will and Power” upon the entire human race, imaginatively observing its regenerative, restorative effects upon humanity and the planet.

39.             Firmly committed to assist, however you best can, with the preparation for the Reappearance of the Christ and the Externalization of the Hierarchy, and clearly understanding how the correct use of the Energy of Will and Power can further the redemption of humanity, sound the Great Invocation, followed by three OMs.

40.             For those who find it both possible and evocative, sound the three OMs on the Red note, DO—the note “C”, or alternatively on the “Roaring-Orange” note, RE—the note “D”. (One can experiment with the different results of the two types of soundings.)

41.             In the stillness following the OMs, hold a vision of our planet as a sacred planet, irradiated by the pure white light of Hierarchy and Shamballa.

Note: Those who wish to use the musical note appropriate to a particular ray may find it convenient to acquire a small “pitch pipe” with the 12 notes of the musical scale. Only attempt to use the note if you, and/or the group you are working with find it a natural process to do so, and can sound the note with relative accuracy.
