1.
Before beginning
the meditation, blow softly into the pitch pipe on the orange note “D” or
the indigo note “A” establishing the note and color that you will be using
repeatedly in this fifth 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/fifth 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 Fifth Ray Ashram, visualizing the Master
Hilarion at its center.
15.
Identified with the group soul, seek to attune to the Master Hilarion and what
He represents, then quietly (or meditatively) say: “Salutations to the Master
Hilarion—OM” (If it can be done with relative ease
and accuracy, sound the OM in orange on the note D or in indigo on the note
A)
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 orange on the note D or in indigo on the note A)
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 orange on the note D or in indigo on the note A)
20.
Identified as a group soul, imaginatively focus on the brilliant star Sirius,
towards which the majority of the human race will someday ‘travel’ (on the
Way of Higher Evolution) for an increase in its manasic capacity and to
become Solar Angels. (cf. TCF 844)
21.
As a group soul, attempt to realize that Sirius, as the "Star of Initiation"
and "Brilliant Star of Sensitivity" is connected to both the cosmic
mental plane and cosmic astral plane.
22.
Identified as a group soul, attempt to realize that through many transformations
and ‘energy descents’ involving constellations, our Sun and certain planets,
the Sirian energy reaches the extra-planetary Fifth Ray Lord (which,
for practical purposes, we can consider the Logos of the Planet Venus).
23.
Imaginatively focus on the extra-planetary Fifth Ray Lord (the Logos of Venus),
a Being of the “intensest spiritual light”, and see the energy of this great
Being pouring into Shamballa, contributing to the “Unfettered Enlightenment”
and “Light of Life” radiating through and from Shamballa (through the three
Buddhas of Activity).
24.
Visualize the stream of fifth ray energy pouring from Shamballa via all
Buddhas of Activity, pouring into through all the Three Great Lords, but
especially and directly to the Mahachohan (Master R.), who transmits it
to the Head of the Third Ray Ashram (the Venetian Master), where it is,
thence, transmitted to Master Hilarion, the Chohan Who is Head of the Fifth
Ray Ashram.
25.
Ponder deeply on the nature and purpose of the Fifth Ray Ashram, recognizing
it as an aspect of the Second Ray soul of our planet Earth, imbedded within
our Second Ray Solar System.
26.
Meditate on the hierarchical mission of the Master Hilarion in relation to the
human race and the responsibility of ashramically affiliated initiates and
disciples in relation to the mission of this Master.
27.
Visualize the fifth ray luminosity spreading to all Masters, initiates and disciples
within the Fifth Ray Ashram (received on the fifth subray of their particular
Ashram)
28.
Visualize the fifth ray stream animating all Solar Angels (members of the Fifth
Creative Hierarchy) and, thus, illuminating all Egoic Lotuses and Causal
Bodies of the members of the human race.
29.
Attempt to realize the importance of the fifth ray as the
‘Ray of Individualization’, and even more importantly, as the ‘Ray of Initiation’—the
ray which is helping to raise humanity from the fourth spiritual kingdom
into the fifth through the process of initiation.
30.
Attempt to understand how the Sirian Energy, the great Fifth Ray and the Solar
Angels are all involved in the illumination and initiatory elevation of
the human race.
31.
Let the consecrated meditating group welcome into its energy system the
energy of the Orange
Ray (esoterically, the Indigo Ray) of Concrete Knowledge or Science—(while silently thinking
or very quietly repeating the Fifth Ray Word of Power—Three
Minds Unite):
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 fifth
star, Dubhe, in the Great Bear. (That constellational chakra
has strong associates with the Little Bear—Ursa Minor.)
ii.
The zodiacal constellations Leo, Sagittarius, and Aquarius
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.
Venus (and other planets related to the fifth ray)
b.
and streaming from Shamballa (thus involving the monad in the flow),
c.
through all Three Buddhas of Activity,
d.
and the Fifth Shamballic “Ray Lord”
e.
through the Three Great Lords (especially, the Mahachohan, the Master R.),
f.
thence to the Head of the Third Ray Ashram, the Venetian Master,
g.
and thence to the Master Hilarion (Chohan of the Fifth Ray Ashram),
h.
to the Fifth Ray Masters, initiates and disciples,
i.
into Hierarchy as a whole focussed within the Spiritual Triad, (and received
on the fifth subray of any particular Ashram)
j.
through all Solar Angels—
k.
thence 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.
anchoring at the group-center-at-the-base-of-the spine,
p.
and returning to the group-ajna center {of energy direction} 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.
32.
Utilizing a self-chosen symbol for the fifth ray, feel
the group soul increasingly imbued by this great fifth ray energy until
it becomes full to overflowing—ready to distribute fifth ray energy for
the sake of humanity and the planet.
(Sample Symbols:
Upright pentagram, upright pentagon, pyramid, beam of laser light, 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 Concrete Knowledge or Science.
34.
Ponder on
the need you have chosen and how to meet that need.
35.
Thoughtfully,
lovingly and purposefully direct fifth ray energy into an area
of need. (Points 35 and
36 describe how this may be done.)
36.
(Fifth ray energy can be utilized, for example:
a.
wherever the “Garment of God” is being investigated
and understood;
b.
wherever the technical mastery of energy is required;
c.
in relation to the development of the Science of
Esoteric Psychology;
d.
in relation to those who hope to succeed in Raja
Yoga (the “Kingly Science of the Soul”);
e.
in relation to education and factual, mental training
for the human race;
f.
wherever light needs to be brought into the mind
of humanity;
g.
in relation to the laboratories, research facilities
and investigative processes of the world (in any number of diverse disciplines)
where knowledge to elevate humanity is in process of discovery;
h.
to inspire the inventors of the world who are laboring
to bring forth new mechanisms to improve humanity's quality of life;
i.
in relation to those who are attempting to discriminate
the real from the unreal and thus free humanity from glamor and illusion;
j.
wherever occult meditation is being taught and
practiced and humanity is in process of contacting its soul and the Fifth
Creative Hierarchy;
k.
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, systemic and extra-planetary sources,
b.
thence to and from Shamballa {thus involving our monad
in the flow},
c.
via the Three Buddhas of Activity
d.
and the Fifth “Ray Lord” in Shamballa,
e.
passing through the Three Great Lords (but, especially,
the Mahachohan—the Master R.),
a.
through the Master Hilarion
b.
and Masters, initiates and disciples of the Fifth Ray Ashram
{via the Venetian Master},
c.
through Hierarchy as a whole, (received on the fifth subray
of any particular Ashram)
d.
and through all Solar Angels,
e.
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 Exact Knowledge’, (of Concrete Knowledge or Science), 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 fifth ray, designed to assist humanity as well as the Fifth
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 D in Orange or the note A in indigo). (The note “D” also has
a correspondence with the first ray to which the fifth ray is closely related.)
41.
United with the group soul, and utilizing the color Orange, or the esoteric color, indigo, (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 Fifth Ray Stream of “Concrete Knowledge
or Science” 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 'Exact Knowledge',
of “Concrete Knowledge or Science” 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 the
Orange note, RE—the note “D” or the Indigo note, LA—the note “A”. (The higher and esoteric color of the fifth ray is Indigo.)
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.
