of the Sixth Ray Ashram

The Ray of Devotion and Idealism

(Version 6.2: Revised 05Feb04)

 

1.                  Before beginning the meditation, blow softly into the pitch pipe on the blue note “G” (imagining light blue or silvery rose), or on an experimental note for silvery rose, “A-flat”, thus establishing the note and color that you will be using repeatedly in this sixth ray meditation, then quietly sound the OM once on your chosen note and in your chosen color 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/sixth 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 Sixth Ray Ashram, visualizing the Master Jesus at its center.

15.             Identified with the group soul, seek to attune to the Master Jesus and what He represents, then quietly (or meditatively) say: “Salutations to the Master Jesus—OM” (If it can be done with relative ease and accuracy, sound the OM in red on the note C, or in lighter blue and/or rose on the note G or A-flat. Rose and light blue may also be used together.)

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 red on the note C, or in lighter blue and/or rose on the note G or A-flat. Rose and light blue may also be used together.)

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 red on the note C, or in lighter blue and/or rose on the note G or A-flat. Rose and light blue may also be used together.)

20.             As a group soul attempt to realize the tremendous Devotion inherent in Sanat Kumara, the “Great Sacrifice” (He, Who will not leave His post “until the last weary pilgrim has found his way home”).

21.             Ponder on the fact that the number of Shamballa is “6”—the same number as the Ray of Devotion and Idealism.

22.             Attempt to realize that, in your deepest nature, you (as a monad) are a “Lord of Ceaseless, Persevering Devotion”. Realize that your ‘home’ is upon the sixth plane (the monadic—counting from lower planes to higher), that this plane is resonant to the sixth Ray of Devotion and Idealism, and that devotion is deeply ingrained in your monadic nature.

23.             Realize that, as a monad, your home is “within the Sun” (IHS 196), from which you are sent forth in Devotion to redeem lives in the lower worlds. Identify with the stream of ‘Redemptive Devotion’ which emanates from the Solar Logos, passes especially through Neptune, Venus and Mars, focuses in Shamballa through Sanat Kumara and the Sixth Shamballic “Ray Lord” and through all human monads.

24.             Visualize the stream of sixth ray energy as Planetary Devotion pouring from Sanat Kumara, through the Sixth Shamballic “Ray Lord” and into the Hierarchy where it focuses in the Christ.

25.             Understand that the stream of Devotion and Idealism emanates also from the extra-planetary Sixth “Ray-Lord” and, from thence, reaches the Christ directly.

26.             Seek to sense the Christ's profound devotion to the Divine Purpose and Plan, to our planet and the upliftment of humanity.

27.             See this stream of sixth ray energy reaching the Mahachohan directly from the Sixth extra-planetary “Ray-Lord”.

28.             From both the Christ and the Mahachohan (via the Venetian Master) visualize the sixth ray stream reaching the Master Jesus, the Chohan who is Head of the Sixth Ray Ashram, and all Masters, initiates and disciples affiliated with that Ashram.

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

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

31.             Let the consecrated meditating group welcome into its energy system the energy of the Rose (and/or Light Blue) Ray of Devotion and Idealism(while silently thinking or very quietly repeating the Sixth Ray Word of Power—The Highest Light Controls):

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 sixth star, Merak, in the Great Bear. (That constellational chakra may well be our own constellation—the “Seven Solar Systems of Which Ours is One”; the Great Centaur may also be related),

           ii.                  The zodiacal constellations Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces,

           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 “Brahma” of our Solar System (one of Three Entities surrounding the Solar Logos)

           vi.                  Neptune, Mars (and other planets related to the sixth ray)—reaching Neptune and Mars directly from “Vishnu” and indirectly via “Brahma”,

b.                  and streaming from Sanat Kumara, to the Second Buddha of Activity, and the Sixth Shamballic “Ray Lord” directly to the Christ,

c.                  also reaching the Christ directly through the extra-planetary Sixth “Ray-Lord”,

d.                  from the Christ directly to the Master Jesus,

e.                  (and through the Mahachohan—the Master R.) directly from the extra-planetary Sixth “Ray-Lord”,

f.                    and from thence indirectly to the Master Jesus (via the Venetian Master),

g.                  thence through the Sixth Ray Masters, initiates and disciples,

h.                  and through Hierarchy as a whole focussed within the Spiritual Triad (and received on the sixth subray of any particular Ashram),

i.                    and through Solar Angels on the sixth ray,

j.                     thence passing from and through the spiritual love of the buddhic plane—

k.                  into the love petals of the group-Egoic Lotus (of the group soul),

l.                     into the astral body of the meditating group,

m.                entering the group-solar plexus

n.                  and returning to the group-heart center 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

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

(Sample Symbols: The long-armed cross, the flaming cross, the torch, the six-pointed star, the dove, etc.)

33.             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 Devotion and Idealism.

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

35.             Thoughtfully, lovingly and purposefully direct sixth ray energy into an area of need. (Points 35 and 36 describe how this may be done.)

36.             (Sixth ray energy can be utilized, for example:

a.                   in relation to the achievement of understanding, mutual-respect and cooperation between the Christian, Jewish and Islamic religions;

b.                   in relation to the reorientation and elevation of the desire nature of humanity;

c.                   where the people are ‘perishing’ for lack of vision and motivation;

d.                   where release from low desire is necessary;

e.                   where one-pointed persistence is needed;

f.                     in places where materialism and cynicism are prevalent;

g.                   where disbelief and hopelessness are found;

h.                   where hope, enthusiasm and inspiration are required;

i.                     wherever people need something “higher” to believe in or follow;

j.                     where visions are needed to stir and uplift the people;

k.                   where the idealism of the soul is required rather than restrictive or misleading dogma;

l.                     where an unwavering, one-pointed attitude is required;

m.                 where a path must be trodden from beginning to end;

n.                   where self-sacrifice is required to promote the success of a cause more important than one's personal welfare;

o.                   in general, in relation to the uplift of the churches and religions of the world—i.e., in relation to the “Problem of the Churches”;

p.                   etc.)

37.             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, system and extra-planetary sources (especially Neptune, Venus and Mars),

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

c.                    to the Sixth Shamballic “Ray Lord” to the Christ,

d.                    yet, also from the extra-planetary Sixth “Ray-Lord”, and from thence passing directly to and through the Christ

e.                    (and, thence, directly to the Master Jesus),

f.                     and also directly to and through the Mahachohan to the Master Jesus (via the Venetian Master),

g.                    and to the Masters, initiates and disciples of the Sixth Ray Ashram,

h.                    through Hierarchy as a whole, (received on the sixth subray of any particular Ashram),

i.                      and through Solar Angels on the sixth ray,

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

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

38.             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”.

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

40.             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 when the sixth ray thought or mantram is aligned with the first ray, or on the note G when the sixth ray thought or mantram is more aligned with the second ray. The color Light Blue may be used when sounding on the note G as G is a generically blue note. The color Rose—qualitatively related to the second ray—may also be used with the note G. Experimentally, A-flat may also be used. Or one may sound the note G or A-flat using a combination of Rose and Light Blue colors).

41.             United with the group soul, and utilizing the color Rose, or, alternatively, Light Blue, or both together, (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 Sixth Ray Stream of “Devotion and Idealism” upon the entire human race, imaginatively observing its regenerative, restorative effects upon humanity and the planet.

42.             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 Devotion and Idealism can further the redemption of humanity, sound the Great Invocation, followed by three OMs.

43.             For those for whom it is possible and evocative, sound the three OMs on either the note “C” (the note of sixth ray Mars, related to the first ray) or the Blue note “G” (emphasizing the transformation of human souls focused upon the sixth ray into a focus on the second ray. The colors Rose or Light Blue may also be used when sounding on the note G. Experimentally, A-flat may also be used. Or one may sound the note G or A-flat using a combination of Rose and Light Blue colors.)

44.             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.
