Synthetic
Meditation
for
the Subjective Assistance
of
the Fourth Ray Ashram
The
Ray of Harmony-through-Conflict
Harmony,
Beauty and Art
(Version
6.2: Revised 05Feb04)
1.
Before beginning
the meditation, blow softly into the pitch pipe on the yellow note “E” establishing
the note and color that you will be using repeatedly in this fourth ray
meditation, then quietly sound the OM once on that note and in yellow to establish the Keynote
and Key-Color for the meditation.
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/fourth 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 Fourth Ray Ashram, visualizing the
Master Serapis Bey at its center (assisted by the Master P.).
15.
Identified with the group soul, seek to attune to the Master Serapis Bey and
the Master P., and what They represent, then quietly (or meditatively) say:
“Salutations to the Master Serapis—OM”. “Salutations to the Master P.—OM”. (If it can be done with relative ease
and accuracy, sound the OM in yellow on the note E)
16.
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.
17.
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 yellow on the note E)
18.
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”.
19.
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 yellow on the note E)
20.
Realize that Sanat Kumara is (from one perspective), the Fourth Kumara,
and therefore connected with the Fourth Ray of Harmony, Beauty and Art,
and Harmony-through-Conflict.
21.
Attempt to realize that for the King, Beauty is Truth and Truth is Beauty.
22.
Attempt to appreciate the Beauty of the King and try to understand His attempt
to bring all the conflicted energies of the Earth into a state of ideal
harmony and beauty.
23.
Attempt to realize that His redemptive efforts concerning this fourth
globe (in this fourth planetary scheme and fourth planetary
chain), and its humanity, are all part of the fourth initiation through
which He is passing, thus utilizing the fourth ray. (cf. TCF 384)
24.
Visualize a line of energy transmission on the fourth ray emanating from the
King of Peace and passing into the Christ, standing at the center of Hierarchy.
Attempt to realize how the Principle of Beauty is related to the Work of
the Christ.
25.
Visualize the stream of fourth ray energy passing from the Christ to the Master
Serapis—the Head of the Fourth Ray Ashram, and thence, to all Masters in
this Ashram, especially the Irish Master P.
26.
Ponder deeply on the nature and purpose of the Fourth 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 Serapis Bey (of the Brotherhood
of Luxor), and of the Irish Master, P. in relation to the human race, and
the responsibility of ashramically affiliated initiates and disciples in
relation to the mission of these Masters.
28.
Attempt to realize the importance of the fourth ray in relation to the growing
rapport between the human and angel kingdoms, and the involvement of Master
Serapis in this union.
29.
Attempt to realize the importance of the Fine Arts (music, painting, sculpting,
dance, poetry, drama, etc.) impulsed and sustained by Master Serapis, the
Master P. and the Fourth Ray Ashram, and aided by the sensitivities and
ministrations of the angel/deva kingdom.
30.
Let the consecrated meditating group welcome into its energy system the
Yellow Ray of Harmony-through-Conflict
(of Harmony, Beauty and Art)—(while silently thinking or very
quietly repeating the Fourth Ray Word of Power—Two
Merge With One):
a.
reaching Shamballa 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 fourth
star, Megrez, in the Great Bear. (That constellational chakra
may be associated with both the Little Bear (Ursa Minor) and our own
constellation—the “Seven Solar Systems of Which Ours is One”.),
ii.
The zodiacal constellations Taurus, Scorpio, and Sagittarius,
iii.
Our Blue Logos—Sol,
iv.
The Entity “Vishnu” of our Solar System (the most influential
of Three Entities surrounding the Solar Logos),
iii.
The Entity “Brahma” of our Solar System (one of Three Entities
surrounding the Solar Logos),
iv.
Mercury (and other planets related to the fourth ray),
b.
and streaming through Shamballa (thus involving the monad in the flow),
c.
through the Fourth Shamballic “Ray Lord”,
d.
directly to the Christ and the Mahachohan from the Fourth Extra-systemic Ray-Lord,
e.
and from the Christ directly to the Master Serapis, Master P. and the Fourth
Ray Masters,
f.
(and from the Mahachohan indirectly to Master Serapis, via the Head of the Third
Ray Ashram),
g.
thence through the Hierarchy as a whole focussed within the Spiritual Triad
(and received on the fourth subray of any particular Ashram),
h.
and through all Solar Angels, (as representatives of
the Fourth Systemic Law of Magnetic Control),
i.
thence passing from and through the spiritual love of the buddhic plane—
j.
into the love petals of the group-Egoic Lotus (of the group soul),
k.
into the astral body of the meditating group,
l.
entering the group-solar plexus,
m.
and returning to the group-heart center,
n.
and thence to the group-ajna center {of envisionment} and there focussing (cf. EP II, p. 388).
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
31.
Utilizing a self-chosen symbol for the fourth ray, feel the
group soul increasingly imbued by this great fourth ray energy until it
becomes full to overflowing—ready to distribute fourth ray energy for the
sake of humanity and the planet.
(Sample Symbols:
Four-leaf ‘clover’, two dynamic infinity symbols forming a cross, intersecting
mountain peaks forming a diamond through their intersection, tetrahedron,
etc.)
32.
Scan the lower three worlds of our planet (the physical,
astral and mental planes) and locate an 'area of need' which requires the
right application of the Ray of Harmony-through-Conflict (of Harmony, Beauty
and Art).
33.
Ponder on
the need you have chosen and how to meet that need.
34.
Thoughtfully,
lovingly and purposefully direct fourth ray energy into an area of
need. (Points
34 and 35 describe how this may be done.)
35.
(Fourth ray energy can be utilized, for example:
a.
in relation to the word of the New Group of World
Servers—a group ruled by the fourth ray;
b.
in relation to the General Assembly of the United
Nations and its various agencies whose task is to resolve international
conflicts and keep the peace;
c.
in relation to the places on Earth where severe
conflict exists or where war may be raging;
d.
wherever antagonistic points of view must be reconciled;
e.
in places where human beings are living in ugliness
and without access to cultural upliftment;
f.
in relation to the creative artists of the world
who are attempting to express the wisdom of the soul and the beauty of
the Divine Plan;
g.
in relation to those who are responsible for cultivating
and perpetuating the cultural values of their people, races, nations;
h.
in relation to the psychologists of the world who
are attempting to bring harmony to man's internal nature and between man
and his environment;
i.
wherever there are attempts being made to promote
converse and union between the human and deva kingdoms;
j.
wherever a bridge must be made between the past
and the future across the present;
k.
wherever there are attempts to bridge from
the lower to the higher worlds;
l.
etc.)
36.
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 Shamballa {thus involving our monad
in the flow},
c.
and through the Fourth Shamballic “Ray-Lord”,
d.
as well as via the Fourth extra-planetary “Ray Lord”
directly to the Christ,
e.
(as well as to directly to the Mahachohan and indirectly
through Him to Venetian Master),
f.
to the Head (Master Serapis) and Masters, initiates and
disciples of the Fourth Ray Ashram,
g.
through Hierarchy as a whole, (received on the first fourth
of any particular Ashram)
h.
and through all Solar Angels,
i.
ending with the appropriate petals and chakras of the group
soul and group personality vehicles of the meditating group)—
Direct the stream of Harmony-through-Conflict/Harmony,
Beauty and Art into the chosen area of need, seeing the redemptive
effects of the stream unfold before your inner eye.
37.
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”.
38.
Carefully formulate a definite, redemptive thought or mantram expressive
of the fourth ray, designed to assist humanity as well as the Fourth
Ray Ashram in its service objectives on behalf of humanity. Once formulated,
repeat the thought or mantram to yourself to strengthen it.
39.
Breathe that thought or mantram forth three times into the human thought
stream on the sound of the OM (when possible on the note E in Yellow).
40.
United with the group soul, and utilizing the color Yellow, (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
Fourth Ray Stream of “Harmony-through-Conflict/Harmony, Beauty and Art”
upon the entire human race, imaginatively observing its regenerative, restorative
effects upon humanity and the planet.
41.
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 right use of the Energy of Harmony-through-Conflict
(of Harmony, Beauty and Art) can further the redemption of humanity, sound
the Great Invocation, followed by three OMs.
42.
For those who find it both possible and evocative, sound the three OMs on the
Yellow note, MI—the note “E”.
43.
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.
