1.
Before
beginning the meditation, blow softly into the pitch pipe on the violet
note “B” (or alternatively “G”) establishing the note and color that you
will be using repeatedly in this second ray meditation, then quietly sound
the OM once on your chosen
note and in violet 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/seventh 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 Seventh Ray Ashram, visualizing the
unnamed Seventh Ray Master (inspired by the Master R) at its center.
15.
Identified with the group soul, seek to attune to the unnamed Seventh Ray Master
and what He may represent, then quietly (or meditatively) say: “Salutations
to the unnamed Seventh Ray Master—OM”. (If it can be done with
relative ease and accuracy, sound the OM in violet on the note B or G)
16.
Realizing the abiding relationship of the Mahachohan, Master R., to the Seventh
Ray Ashram, quietly (or meditatively) say: “Salutations to the Master R.
(Rakoczi)—the Mahachohan of our planet—OM” (If it can be done with
relative ease and accuracy, sound the OM in violet on the note B or G)
17.
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.
18.
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 violet on the note B or G)
19.
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”.
20.
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 violet on the note B or G)
21.
Identified as a group soul, ponder on the deeply ceremonial and magical nature
of the Shamballic Process and of Sanat Kumara at the Center of Shamballa.
22.
Identified as a group soul attempt to realize something of the “the ceremonial
ritual of Sanat Kumara, implemented by music and sound and carried on the
waves of colour which break upon the shores of the three worlds of human
evolution.” Ponder on how this “ceremonial ritual” “reveals in the
clearest notes and tones and shades the deepest secret lying behind His
Purpose”.
23.
Knowing that it originates from cosmic, systemic and extra-planetary sources,
visualize the great stream of seventh ray energy as expressing through Planetary
Ceremonial Magic and through the Shamballic Energy of Organization.
Visualize the relationship of the Master R. to this energy flow emanating
from Shamballa.
24.
Ponder on the hierarchical mission of the Master R. specifically in relation
to the expression of the seventh ray on behalf of the human race and the
planet, and the responsibility of ashramically affiliated initiates and
disciples in relation to the mission of this Master.
25.
Visualize the stream of seventh ray energy pass onward to the unnamed Master
Who is the present Head of the Seventh Ray Ashram and to all Masters and
initiates who work in affiliation with this Ashram.
26.
Ponder deeply on the nature and purpose of the Seventh Ray Ashram (directed
by this unnamed Master) and its role in relation to humanity.
27.
Recognize the Seventh Ray Ashram as an aspect of the Second Ray soul of our
planet Earth, imbedded within our Second Ray Solar System.
28.
Let the consecrated meditating group welcome into its energy system the
energy of the Violet
Ray of Ceremonial Magic, Order and Organization—(while silently thinking or very quietly repeating
the Seventh Ray Word of Power—The Highest
and the Lowest Meet):
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 seventh
star, Phegda, in the Great Bear. (That constellational chakra
is hypothesized as Draco, the Dragon.),
ii.
The zodiacal constellations Aries, Cancer, and Capricorn,
vii.
Our Blue Logos—Sol,
viii.
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.
Uranus (and other planets related to the seventh ray),
b.
and streaming through Shamballa (thus involving our monad in the flow),
c.
via all Three Buddhas of Activity,
d.
and the Seventh Shamballic “Ray Lord”,
e.
to the Three Great Lords, but especially to the Mahachohan (the Master R.),
f.
Who, also, receives it directly from the Planetary Logos of the seventh
ray,
g.
thence to the unnamed Head of the Seventh Ray Ashram, its Masters, initiates
and disciples,
h.
and through Hierarchy as a whole, focussed within the Spiritual Triad, (and
received on the seventh subray of any particular Ashram),
i.
through Solar Angels on the seventh ray,
j.
thence passing from and through the spiritual mind of the manasic plane—
k.
into the knowledge petals of the group-Egoic Lotus (of the group soul),
l.
into the mental body of the meditating group,
m.
entering the group-throat center,
n.
thence the group-sacral center
o.
and returning to the group-throat center and there focussing (cf. EP II, p. 389).
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. (Those who wish to use first ray alignments
in relation to the seventh ray can do so as such alignments are a legitimate
alternative to third-ray alignments.)
28.
Utilizing a self-chosen symbol for the seventh ray, feel
the group soul increasingly imbued by this great seventh ray energy until
it becomes full to overflowing—ready to distribute seventh ray energy for
the sake of humanity and the planet.
(Sample Symbols:
Swastika {even armed}, swastika turning to the right, two upright pillars,
the foundational square, the seven-pointed star, the sevenfold spectrum,
the six-pointed star with a central point, etc.)
29.
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 Organization and Ceremonial Magic.
30.
Ponder on the
need you have chosen and how to meet that need.
31.
Thoughtfully,
lovingly and purposefully direct seventh ray energy into an area
of need. (Points 32 and 33 describe how this may be done.)
32.
(Seventh ray energy can be utilized, for example:
a.
for bringing of planetary energies out of chaos
and disorder into rhythmic order;
b.
to establish laws and social patterns which reflect
soul values;
c.
for bringing the kingdoms of nature into right
relation—planetary ecology;
d.
for the clarification and right regulation of global
monetary and financial systems;
e.
for right communication with the deva kingdom;
f.
in relation to new methods of healing;
g.
wherever the methods of white magic should be employed;
h.
in general, for the building of the new forms and
patterns which will characterize the new civilization;
i.
in relation to the process of white magic to facilitate
the expression of soul-pattern in the three worlds;
j.
in general, for improving the quality of substance/matter
so that it may more faithfully reflect and express soul and spirit;
k.
wherever synthetic consummation is sought between
a number of entities or groups;
l.
to promote the expression upon the physical plane
of all intended patterns;
m.
in general, for the reorganization of the
three worlds of human evolution, and especially of the physical-etheric
plane;
n.
etc.)
33.
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.
expressing through all Three Buddhas of Activity,
d.
and the Seventh Shamballic “Ray Lord”,
e.
passing through the Three Great Lords and, especially,
the Mahachohan (the Master R.),
f.
thence to the Venetian Master,
g.
thence to the Head and Masters, initiates and disciples
of the Seventh Ray Ashram,
h.
through Hierarchy as a whole, (received on the seventh
subray of any particular Ashram)
i.
and through Solar Angels on the seventh 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 Ceremonial Magic
and Order, into the chosen area of need, seeing the redemptive effects
of the stream unfold before your inner eye.
34.
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”.
35.
Carefully formulate a definite, redemptive thought or mantram
expressive of the seventh ray, designed to assist humanity as well
as the Seventh Ray Ashram in its service objectives on behalf of humanity.
Once formulated, repeat the thought or mantram to yourself to strengthen
it.
36.
Breathe that thought or mantram forth three times into the human thought
stream on the sound of the OM (when possible on the note B in Violet).
37.
United with the group soul, and utilizing the color Violet, (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
Seventh Ray Stream of “Ceremonial Magic and Order” upon the entire human
race, imaginatively observing its regenerative, restorative effects upon
humanity and the planet.
38.
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 Order, Organization
and Ceremonial Magic can further the redemption of humanity, sound the Great
Invocation, followed by three OMs.
39.
For those for whom it is possible and evocative, sound the three OMs on either
the Violet note TI—the note “B”. Experimentation may also focus on violet
and “the great note G” (EP I 122).
40.
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.
