The Putative 2025 Council Meeting

In the blue books opus the Tibetan outlines centennial council meetings, the next of which is due this year and others on the quarter century. He prophesises that by now there will be many initiates of varying degree incarnate along with a multitude of disciples. He hints that the stage of the forerunner may be drawing to a close and that the externalisation proper may commence, is commencing or may be underway. These writings are older than I, they predate the “swinging” sixties.

As is well known, no plan ever survives first contact.

In this schema the initiate Jesus was executed in Palestine two thousand years ago allegedly at the behest of the Sanhedrin and Pharisees. That carnal, violent, in meat, execution coincided with the initiate Jesus taking the fourth or renunciation initiation during which his physical plane body ceased to function and was no longer habitable. His form was rent, his causal vehicle split. According to some religious texts there were a number of proximal notable scale physical plane phenomena concurrent with these events. One could argue that the karma caused then is still in effect today and currently so. Those effects are in the news. The events in Palestine had the initiate Jesus overshadowed by the master in the office of Christ. He too was going through an initiation process. Shortly after his physical plane death, the adept Jesus took the fifth initiation and technically became the master Jesus. Simultaneous the master in the office of Christ took the sixth and seventh initiations.

We had renunciation and revelation for Jesus, decision and resurrection for the Christ. The “energies” for these events were “grounded” for the first time in a very “concentrated” manner, unleashing events for humanity. These seemingly minor insignificant events in a small two-bit country changed the face of the planet over the upcoming centuries. The sceptic may underestimate the significance of this “concentrated” esoteric occurrence.

According to the Tibetan, the council meeting will “decide” what it needs to do to best help humanity to prepare for the return of the Christ. Following the internal logic of the opus. The Christ will not be a simple third degree initiate as Jesus was upon his incarnation as a nirmāṇakāya and carpenter to be. We might say that the Christ will be a very different kettle of fish entirely.

I think it fair to say that humanity is going through a very materialistic and ungodly phase. There is division anger and blame. Currently humanity sits on its hands while brutality and death unfold. It seems that it can “justify” this to itself and still sleep at night. The propaganda against Islam is now fully embedded in the Western psyche. Who is madder a mullah or a Hasidim. Who is more retrogressive? Stuck in the past?

Humanity is very complacent and the climate change deniers have persuaded humanity that it is OK to continue to gorge to excess and ruin the “garden of Eden” into which it was born. The temptation of materialistic excess is beyond “biblical” in proportion which may elicit a planetary supra-biblical response.

It is my own view that humanity needs several wake up calls of truly epic proportions. Things need to get very much worse before people will stop pissing about with “images” on social media and actually do something less fatuous. Pontificating on soap boxes does not address planetary crisis. At the moment I see the USA as making the planetary situation worse, they no longer provide a good lead and are going down the plughole of their own selfishness and paranoia.

You can warn people about the timescale of karma, about how it ripples out from things like brutal epicentres. But in the heat of the moment and full of bile and anger they are not willing or able to listen. They believe murder and outright bullying can be justified.

It does not occur to the USA that its is behaving like a teenage bully in the hallway locker rooms of one of its “safe” high schools. It feels justified in swaggering and beating the shit out of anyone who does not kneel and kiss its arse.

Such are the days of our “enlightenment”.

In many ways the situation needs to be very dire before there is a strong enough planetary and human call, an invocation for the Christ to return. In some ways there is nothing new that needs to be done, humanity is fast heading down the shitter without any additional input. Maybe instead of externalising the hierarchy should again withdraw and wait a few more centuries until it is shit creek barbed wire canoe time….

The Stage of the Forerunner and Experimentation

In the Blue Books Opus Kuhl suggests that the stage of the forerunner might change into the start to the externalisation of the so-called hierarchy, mooted for this year. He suggests that many experiments would be being carried out in preparation for this externalisation. By this I guess he means some kind of incarnation.  As is well known in military circles no plan ever survives first contact intact. The blue print he provided in that opus is over 70 years old.

Various people around the globe are getting further instructions as it were even though he says that he took the fifth initiation in 1875 as an old man making him something like 200 earth years old today. The scientific establishment is very unlikely to believe in telepathic rapport by / with a being who outlives the Guiness book of records most aged. Common sense suggests a measure of frailty and a lack of truth / reality.

He suggests that many experiments will fail. Each failure providing insight into later method and approach. The gist being that the more initiations some being has taken, the less like common or garden humanity they will be. If I understand it correctly direct physical plane contact would be very uncomfortable for the initiates of higher degree and some are / were being trained specifically to endure this process.

The initiates of first and second degree will have much more in common with “normal” people. Life in the throng would be less uncomfortable.

When a ship sails it is always the prow which bears the brunt. Those engaged in the stage of the forerunner can be likened to the prow. It is those who will carry the brunt of experimental failure. The failure must be irreversible because space-time is unidirectional on the physical plane. These failures will also unleash karma, a failure is a cause and it will have an effect rippling out into the web of life. Those who played a role in causing the failure when give an opportunity to soar, might accrue difficult karma. They missed the boat so to speak, and badly so.

I speculated earlier in this blog that those in power are unlikely to welcome such a putative externalisation. The purveyors of academic knowledge would not be keen on a master of wisdom usurping their deity at university.

At the moment the new president in the USA is not spreading goodwill, he is talking up very materialistic ideology and making retrograde steps pertaining to climate change in order to make more money. He is pushing a divisive and selfish agenda using techniques borrowed from the British in India of divide and rule. He is attracting sycophants from UK politics who want power by association with the don.

This might seem opposite to the light and goodwill flavour of the White Lodge but is does present an interesting backdrop because it makes the need for externalisation even more timely.

The world has changed markedly in the last seventy years.

Kuhl comments that it is only at the third initiation, the transfiguration, that the being on the receiving end is fully conscious of the events and procedure. I can confirm that this is the case because of the events of 26th April 2009. Kuhl implies that there may be first and second degree initiates amongst us, unaware of the fact, yet somehow sensitive and receptive to hierarchical impulse. Those on the lighted path will have goodwill and tend to be less graspingly selfish and materialistic. They probably won’t be nasty and unpleasant.

It might be useful to look at another meaning of initiate. To initiate something is to start something, to take the initiative. It is likely therefore that the initiates mooted by Kuhl will have something of an entrepreneurial mentality, getting things off the ground and starting new groups, new ways. Those who go first are forerunners, they are path finders, explorers and pioneers. It is clear from history that pioneering does not come with a high life expectancy. The status quo never likes new blood, new kids on the block. Pioneering often fails, at least at first. Soon others come.

I speculated earlier some initiates might find their way into academia others into politics dependent upon which ray they are upon. My rough perusal of new age groups associated with the Opus has shown that psychology trained people are interested, there are artists and writers. I have not come upon many physicists, though I know of one other. For some Astrology is a way in. It is not my cup of tea.

The world is tense place just now. There are many problems which humanity is struggling to face / solve. The Elastoplast approach to problem solving or as Johnson called it whack-a-mole is not really working. The change must be much more profound otherwise humanity will continue to fight both metaphorically and on earth, fires.

My prediction is that things will have to get very bad indeed before humanity is ready to face reality and knuckle down to make the hard choices needed. It has gotten vane, distracted and complacent. The just one mouse click away mentality has it taking way too many things for granted.

We shall see if Kuhl’s prediction comes true. According to the Opus the general council of the Great White Lodge is scheduled for the end of this year.

I wonder will it be by Zoom or Cisco Webex this year…

2025 I Ching Consultation

Please comment on the nature of 2025 for me…

——————————————————————————-

44. Kou / Coming to Meet

above CH’IEN THE CREATIVE, HEAVEN
below SUN THE GENTLE, WIND

This hexagram indicates a situation in which the principle of darkness, after having been eliminated, furtively and unexpectedly obtrudes again from within and below. Of its own accord the female principle comes to meet the male. It is an unfavourable and dangerous situation, and we must understand and promptly prevent the possible consequences. The hexagram is linked with the fifth month [June-July], because at the summer solstice the principle of darkness gradually becomes ascendant again.

THE JUDGMENT

COMING TO MEET.

The maiden is powerful.
One should not marry such a maiden.

The rise of the inferior element is pictured here in the image of a bold girl who lightly surrenders herself and thus seizes power. This would not be possible if the strong and light-giving element had not in turn come halfway. The inferior thing seems so harmless and inviting that a man delights in it; it looks so small and weak that he imagines he may dally with it and come to no harm. The inferior man rises only because the superior man does not regard him as dangerous and so lends him power. If he were resisted from the first, he could never gain influence. The time of COMING TO MEET is important in still another way. Although as a general rule the weak should not come to meet the strong, there are times when this has great significance. When heaven and earth come to meet each other, all creatures prosper; when a prince and his official come to meet each other, the world is put in order. It is necessary for elements predestined to be joined and mutually dependent to come to meet one another halfway. But the coming together must be free of dishonest ulterior motives, otherwise harm will result.

THE IMAGE

Under heaven, wind:

The image of COMING TO MEET.

Thus does the prince act when disseminating his commands
And proclaiming them to the four quarters of heaven.

The situation here resembles that in hexagram 20, Kuan, CONTEMPLATION (VIEW). In the latter the wind blows over the earth, here it blows under heaven; in both cases it goes everywhere. There the wind is on the earth and symbolizes the ruler taking note of the conditions in his kingdom; here the wind blows from above and symbolizes the influence exercised by the ruler through his commands. Heaven is far from the things of earth, but it sets them in motion by means of the wind. The ruler is far from his people, but he sets them in motion by means of his commands and decrees.

Nine in the fifth place means:

A melon covered with willow leaves.
Hidden lines.

Then it drops down to one from heaven.

The melon, like the fish, is a symbol of the principle of darkness. It is sweet but spoils easily and for this reason is protected with a cover of willow leaves. This is a situation in which a strong, superior, well-poised man tolerates and protects the inferiors in his charge. He has the firm lines of order and beauty within himself but he does not lay stress upon them. He does not bother his subordinates with outward show or tiresome admonitions but leaves them quite free, putting his trust in the transforming power of a strong and upright personality. And behold! Fate is favorable. His inferiors respond to his influence and fall to his disposition like ripe fruit.

Nine at the top means:

He comes to meet with his horns.
Humiliation. No blame.

When a man has withdrawn from the world, its tumult often becomes unbearable to him. There are many people who in a noble pride hold themselves aloof from all that is low and rebuff it brusquely wherever it comes to meet them. Such persons are reproached for being proud and distant, but since active duties no longer hold them to the world, this does not greatly matter. They know how to bear the dislike of the masses with composure.

————————————————

Changing to:

32. Hêng / Duration

above CHEN THE AROUSING, THUNDER
below SUN THE GENTLE, WIND

The strong trigram Chên is above, the weak trigram Sun below. This hexagram is the inverse of the preceding one. In the latter we have influence, here we have union as an enduring condition. The two images are thunder and wind, which are likewise constantly paired phenomena. The lower trigram indicates gentleness within; the upper, movement without. In the sphere of social relationships, the hexagram represents the institution of marriage as the enduring union of the sexes. During courtship the young man subordinates himself to the girl, but in marriage, which is represented by the coming together of the eldest son and the eldest daughter, the husband is the directing and moving force outside, while the wife, inside, is gentle and submissive.

THE JUDGMENT

DURATION. Success. No blame.
Perseverance furthers.
It furthers one to have somewhere to go.

Duration is a state whose movement is not worn down by hindrances. It is not a state of rest, for mere standstill is regression. Duration is rather the self-contained and therefore self-renewing movement of an organized, firmly integrated whole, taking place in accordance with immutable laws and beginning anew at every ending. The end is reached by an inward movement, by inhalation, systole, contraction, and this movement turns into a new beginning, in which the movement is directed outward, in exhalation, diastole, expansion. Heavenly bodies exemplify duration. They move in their fixed orbits, and because of this their light-giving power endures. The seasons of the year follow a fixed law of change and transformation, hence can produce effects that endure. So likewise the dedicated man embodies an enduring meaning in his way of life, and thereby the world is formed. In that which gives things their duration, we can come to understand the nature of all beings in heaven and on earth.

THE IMAGE

Thunder and wind: the image of DURATION.

Thus the superior man stands firm
And does not change has direction.

Thunder rolls, and the wind blows; both are examples of extreme mobility and so are seemingly the very opposite of duration, but the laws governing their appearance and subsidence, their coming and going, endure. In the same way the independence of the superior man is not based on rigidity and immobility of character. He always keeps abreast of the time and changes with it. What endures is the unswerving directive, the inner law of his being, which determines all his actions.

44 Keou / Venir à la rencontre
En haut K’ien : Le Créateur
En bas Souen : Le Doux, le Vent

L’hexagramme indique une situation où le principe obscur se réintroduit secrètement et de façon inattendue de l’intérieur et d’en bas après qu’on l’avait écarté. L’élément féminin vient de lui-même à la rencontre des hommes. C’est une situation dangereuse et non favorable à cause des conséquences possibles qu’il importe de reconnaître à temps et, par suite, d’enrayer. Ce signe est rattaché au 5e mois (juin-juillet) parce qu’avec le solstice d’été le principe obscur recommence peu à peu son ascension.

Le Jugement

VENIR À LA RENCONTRE.
La jeune fille est puissante
On ne doit pas épouser une telle jeune fille,

L’ascension de l’homme vulgaire est représentée sous les traits d’une jeune fille effrontée qui se livre facilement et prend ainsi le commandement. Cela ne serait pas possible si, de son côté, le principe fort et lumineux n’était pas venu. Lui aussi, à sa rencontre. L’homme vulgaire paraît si inoffensif et si doucereux que l’on s’en fait un ami. Il paraît si petit et si faible que l’on pense pouvoir plaisanter avec lui sans inquiétude. L’homme vulgaire ne s’élève que parce que l’homme noble ne le tient pas pour dangereux et lui prête de la puissance. Si on lui résistait au début, il ne réussirait jamais à acquérir de l’influence. Mais le temps où l’on vient à la rencontre a cependant encore un autre aspect qui mérite examen. Si la règle ne doit pas être que le faible vienne au-devant du fort, cette attitude revêt cependant à certaines époques une signification considérable. Si le ciel et la terre viennent à la rencontre l’un de l’autre toutes les créatures prospèrent. Quand le prince et son ministre viennent à la rencontre l’un de l’autre, l’ordre s’établit dans le monde. Il est indispensable que des principes destinés l’un à l’autre viennent l’un vers l’autre. Cette démarche doit seulement être libre d’arrière-pensées, sinon ce serait mauvais.

L’image

Sous le ciel est le vent :
Image de l’acte de VENIR À LA RENCONTRE.
Ainsi fait le prince quand il publie ses ordres et les fait proclamer aux quatre points cardinaux.

La situation est analogue à celle de l’hexagramme Kouan « la contemplation » (n° 20). Là le vent souffle sur la terre, ici il souffle sous le ciel. Dans les deux cas il entre partout. Mais, là, le vent était sur la terre, donc en bas, et symbolisait le souverain prenant connaissance des conditions du royaume. Ici le vent souffle d’en haut ; cela indique l’influence que le souverain exerce par ses ordres. Le ciel est éloigné des choses qui sont sur la terre, mais il les meut par le vent. Le souverain est éloigné du peuple, mais il le meut par ses ordres et l’expression de ses volontés.

Neuf à la cinquième place signifie :
Un melon recouvert de feuilles de saule.
Traits cachés.
Cela nous tombe alors du haut du ciel.

Le melon est comme le poisson une image du principe obscur. Il est sucré mais pourrit facilement ; c’est pourquoi il est recouvert de feuilles de saule protectrices. La situation est celle où un homme fort, élevé, ferme en lui-même protège avec patience les inférieurs dont il a la charge. Il possède en lui les traits fermes de l’ordre et de la beauté. Pourtant il ne les fait pas valoir. Il n’importune pas ses subordonnés par son éclat extérieur ou des avertissements fastidieux, mais il les laisse entièrement libres, faisant pleine confiance à la puissance transformatrice qui réside à l’intérieur d’une personnalité forte et pure. Et voici que le destin est favorable. Les inférieurs sont influencés et lui tombent comme des fruits mûrs.

Neuf en haut signifie :
Il vient à la rencontre avec ses cornes.
Humiliation. Pas de blâme.

Quand un homme s’est retiré du monde, l’agitation profane lui devient souvent insupportable. Il y a souvent des hommes qui, dans un noble orgueil, se tiennent loin du vulgaire et le repoussent avec rudesse s’il vient à leur rencontre.   De tels hommes sont réprimandés d’être durs et inaccessibles ; toutefois comme ils ne sont plus liés par le devoir d’agir dans le monde, cela n’a pas grande importance. Ils savent supporter avec calme l’aversion de la masse.

————————————————————————————————

Changing to

32 Hong / La Durée
En haut Tchen : L’Éveilleur, le Tonnerre
En bas Souen : Le Doux, le Vent

Le trigramme fort Tchen est au-dessus, le trigramme faible Souen, au-dessous. Cet hexagramme est l’inverse du précédent : là l’influence, ici l’union comme état durable. Les images sont celles du tonnerre et du vent qui sont également des phénomènes associés de façon constante. Le trigramme inférieur indique douceur au-dedans, le trigramme supérieur, mouvement au-dehors.
Si nous appliquons l’hexagramme aux rapports sociaux, nous sommes en présence de l’institution matrimoniale comme union durable des sexes. Lors de la demande en mariage, le jeune homme se tenait placé au-dessous de la jeune fille. Par contre, dans le mariage qui est représenté par la réunion du fils aîné et de la fille aînée, l’homme est à l’extérieur fournissant direction et impulsion, tandis que la femme demeure à l’intérieur, douce et obéissante.

Le Jugement

LA DURÉE.
Succès. Pas de blâme.
La persévérance est avantageuse.
Il est avantageux d’avoir où aller.

La durée est un état dont le mouvement n’est pas annihilé par les obstacles. Ce n’est pas un état de repos, car la pure immobilité est recul. La durée est plutôt un mouvement s’accomplissant suivant des lois déterminées, refermé sur lui-même et, par suite, se renouvelant sans cesse, d’un tout organisé et fortement centré sur lui-même, dans lequel toute fin est suivie d’un nouveau commencement. La fin est atteinte par le mouvement vers l’intérieur, l’inspiration du souffle, la systole, la concentration. Ce mouvement se change en un nouveau début dans lequel il est dirigé vers l’extérieur : c’est l’expiration du souffle, la diastole, l’expansion. C’est de cette manière que les corps célestes accomplissent leur course dans le ciel et peuvent en conséquence briller d’une manière durable. Les saisons se déroulent suivant une loi fixe de changement et de transformation et peuvent par suite œuvrer durablement. Ainsi l’homme qui a entendu l’appel incarne une signification durable dans sa manière de vivre et le monde reçoit par là une forme. A partir de ce en quoi les choses puisent leur durée, il est possible de reconnaître la nature de tous les êtres dans le ciel et sur la terre.

L’Image

Tonnerre et vent :
Image de la DURÉE.
Ainsi l’homme noble conserve une attitude ferme et ne change pas de direction.

Le tonnerre roule et le vent souffle. L’un et l’autre représentent un phénomène extrêmement mobile, si bien que leur apparence est à l’opposé de la durée. Toutefois leur apparition et leur disparition, leur mouvement d’aller et de retour suivent des lois durables. Ainsi l’autonomie de l’homme noble ne consiste pas en ce qu’il serait rigide et immobile. Il suit toujours le temps et se transforme avec lui. Ce qui dure est la direction ferme, la loi interne de son être qui détermine toutes ses actions.

Agenda for the 2025 Council Meeting

Thanks to modern technology there would be no need for the council to use telepathy, there are Teams and Zoom etc.

I’ll speculate on some agenda items, prompted by the previous post.

In the news recently has been the devastating boxing day tsunami in which ~200,000 people disincarnated. This is a reminder that humans are puny on a planetary scale. With advanced nuclear weapons humanity could further destroy the planet. There may not be impunity from planetary process. It is clear to me that those enamoured of/by acquisitional materialism are slowly eroding the effort to mitigate climate change. The effort is being undermined by self-interested parties for various motives.

The most obvious mitigation for planetary heating is a nuclear winter. This would be a planetary response to nuclear war. We are not far off nuclear war. The impact would be global and of a scale not seen since a putative asteroid impact 65 million years ago.

Climate change must be an agenda item.

Humanity has never before been so immersed in illusion and glamour. This is largely due to social media and the petabytes of high definition images and video. This has a massive environmental impact. This is perhaps the biggest problem for the incoming New Age. Humanity is also wanking itself stupid to porn. The first initiation is about getting this kind of obsession under control. There is much work to be done to figure out how to address this.

Gigabytes are peddled alongside fentanyl.

Fear of missing out, FOMO, has perhaps surpassed fear of death.

The United Nations has been severely undermined of late most notably by the USA and Israel. But others like Russia have had a hand too. Responsible intelligent world citizenship has been replaced by partisan interest. An institution forged in the fire of war is losing its teeth. The lead provided by the USA is not an enlightened one.

America is therefore a problem and an agenda item. WTF happened to the USA?

Sixth ray personality at its polarised worst. Luckily the sixth ray is on its way out.

Which is worse antisemitism or islamophobia?

There seems to be an increasing problem with mental health. In the grand scheme of things minds are rejecting modern ways of living. This is probably a good and necessary phase.

People do not realise that debt is bad. Money supply is finite. In the “West” the demographic time bomb is starting to explode. There are not enough people in work to tax to pay for the care of the elderly.

Humanity needs to learn that it cannot have its cake AND eat it. Sooner or later some stark choices will have to be made.

The USA is making a strategic mistake in forbidding sale of high technology to China. It is literally forcing China to develop its own technology. If China invades Taiwan and TSMC stops production the world economy will go into free fall. I don’t think attempts at bullying China are wise.

There are a number of pinch points which could spark planetary crisis.

The problem of insurance.

People buy insurance in order to get recompense when something goes wrong, when they fail to have life on their own terms. People feel entitled to recompense, to compensation. With increased climate “disasters” insurance costs will mount perhaps exponentially. Some places are already uninsurable and there is not enough money for governments to endlessly rebuild after planetary havoc. I suspect that perhaps it is only the Dutch who are taking flood defence sufficiently seriously.

This mind-set of compensation needs to go. Karma is karma.

There needs to be a massive paradigmatic shift away from hedonistic acquisitional materialism. It is consumption and economic growth which is directly casual of planetary heating. Such a change is unlikely unless there is a major crisis. There needs to be a whopping great wake up call. Cancer is a growth too. The paradigm of economic growth needs to change to one of genuine and affordable sustainability. This growth mantra needs to be replaced.

Seems to me there will be plenty to discuss…

The Stage of the Forerunner and 2025

First Published in 1957

—————————-

Excerpted from “The Externalization of the Hierarchy – Section IV – Stages in the Externalization”

By Alice Bailey and Djwhal Kuhl

——————–

“One of the results of this hierarchical alignment and adjustment will be the establishment, for the first time, of a fluid interplay and movement between the three planetary centers. Chohans are today passing out of the Hierarchy into the Council Chamber of the Lord of the World, or on to one or other of the Seven Paths; senior Masters in charge of Ashrams are taking higher grades of initiation and taking the rank of Chohans; initiates above the third degree are rapidly taking the fourth and fifth initiations and becoming Masters (taking both initiations in one life), and their places are being taken by lesser initiates; these, in their turn, have been training disciples to take their places, until in this process of substitution and replacement we arrive at the door which symbolically stands between humanity and the Hierarchy, and today stands wide open, so that accepted disciples are taking initiation, pledged disciples are being accepted, and accepting disciples are taking their pledges.

Thus a great and new movement is proceeding and a tremendously increased interplay and interaction is taking place. This will go on until A.D. 2025. During the years intervening between now and then very great changes will be seen taking place, and at the great General Assembly of the Hierarchy – held as usual every century – in 2025 the date in all probability will be set for the first stage of the externalization of the Hierarchy. The present cycle (from now until that date) is called technically “The Stage of the Forerunner”. It is preparatory in nature, testing in its methods, and intended to be revelatory in its techniques and results. You can see therefore that Chohans, Masters, initiates, world disciples, disciples and aspirants affiliated with the Hierarchy are all at this time passing through a cycle of great activity.

In the adjustment necessitated by the rapidly advancing alignment, the Members of the Hierarchy are fitting Themselves for the objective work of public expression. This entails far more difficulty than you might imagine or anticipate, because it entails the development of that form of “resistance to the pull of the lower vibration” of which you can know nothing, for that lower vibration is a necessary aspect of your normal expression – little as you may like to realize this. You need to realize that there is nothing in the Masters or higher initiates which can respond to any vibration of this nature. Though They cannot absorb it or react to it or redevelop it again, it can cause Them the acutest discomfort and pain; that is the reason why the Son of God was called in The Old Testament a “man of sorrows and acquainted with grief”. This did not in reality refer to His sufferings for poor miserable humanity (as orthodox theology so selfishly interprets it) but to the fact that He had to submit Himself to contact with humanity. The Hierarchy is therefore, along all lines (many of which I may not indicate or upon which I may not enlarge), preparing Itself for the experience of physical manifestation; It is also endeavoring to “create” the needed responsive apparatus which will be of such a nature that Members of the Hierarchy may function with the minimum of difficulty on earth and will experience the least possible measure of handicap; They will thus be enabled to give full time and attention to the work to be done by Them in physical manifestation.

They are endeavoring also to establish a closer telepathic rapport and a more intimate (though strictly impersonal) relationship with Their disciples on all rays, so that there can be a free interplay of thought and a consequent better hierarchical integrity and one which – no matter what may happen in the three worlds – cannot be disrupted or in any way lessened.

Although for Them no astral plane exists and glamor is entirely non-existent, They have to learn to do a most peculiar thing: to work on the astral plane (because it exists for humanity and for the animal kingdom), to traverse this region of glamor and then to “demonstrate light in dissipating fog” in a manner for which there has hitherto been no call. None of this information may make much sense to you, but I am simply seeking to go on record for the sake of those who will come after you. There is little more that I may give you anent adjustment and alignment within the Hierarchy. It is rapidly proceeding, and just in so far as disciples demonstrate upon the outer physical plane and in the three worlds their affiliation with an Ashram will they share in this dual process. Are you prepared for this?”

Beyond Your/our Ken?

When Israel launched its revenge attack on Gaza last year, I predicted that maybe 2% of the Gazan population would be killed and this figure has already been surpassed. There have been more that 5% injured. Apparently, this kind of slaughter is “allowable” without much adverse comment to the contrary by western leaders. 7% of the population killed or injured does not meet the criterion of genocide, according to some.

If not, what does?

If you would have asked me five years ago if this kind of slaughter could happen in our times, I would have said no because it was beyond my ken that a highly armed power would be allowed to kick the living shit out of an impoverished and nearly defenceless neighbour. The giant kills the minnow, the bully beats up the unpopular geek who dared to answer back.

It looks like Putin is winning the war of attrition in Ukraine. They are running out of men to draft. The Russians know attrition better than any – Stalingrad.

As the year draws to a close, I am not optimistic for 2025.

The paradigm of governmental borrowing to finance public expenditure is looking ever shakier. Living on tick is not a great idea. Several countries like Zambia, Argentina, Bhutan, Japan, Greece, Sudan, USA and UK have national debt in excess of GDP. {IMF sourced} France too.

The populations in Europe and parts of Asia age and the demographic time bomb of too few children per woman is ticking ominously. There simply is not enough money to sustain our current ways of life.

People want popular policies to get into power, but there ain’t the dosh. Harsh decisions are avoided and put off. It seems humanity is very blinkered.

Orange-boi is mooting a trade war, his credit rating is probably worse than China’s. He has caused several of his own businesses to fail, six bankruptcies. I am not sure that these wars are a good idea and I do not trust his judgement. I understand that he may like chaos.

USA GDP is ~30,000 billion, current account balance is about 1000 billion in the red. There could be a cash flow problem for them. It is paying around 3% of GDP in interest close to 1000 billion dollars. Government revenue is ~ 10,000 billion dollars per year, government expenditure ~ 11,000 billion dollars. That is a 1000 billion overspend.

UK GDP is about 3500 billion dollars and current account balance is overdrawn by ~ 100 billion dollars.

These figures are beyond my ken. 100 billion in aid to Ukraine from USA does not seem to much but it is ~1% of revenue.

I am not sure that loan financing for vanity projects is a good idea.

Cash flow problems are difficult to solve and markets are very jittery.

When things move too far from equilibrium anharmonic behaviour sets in and some non-linearities come into effect. What these may be is beyond our ken. A downgrade in credit rating means more expensive borrowing which if funded by more borrowing is not a virtuous circle.

A number of key figures are exhibiting flakiness Yoon Sook Yeol and Macron with his unneeded elections. There are a lot of instabilities. Where is Merkel when you need her?

My pet theory is that because of increased climate change induced “disasters” household and auto insurance will increase substantially and may become prohibitively expensive. Ours has gone up by governmental decree! Because of insurance costs, places will become inhabitable which will raise house prices elsewhere. People have already mooted that the French might move North to places with a milder oceanic climate like Brittany.

Governments already straining financially will increasingly struggle to mitigate and clean up. The blame game will be played when everyone is not ready to take responsibility and make the necessary adjustments to their life “style”. It might impede their Instagram story.

My gut feeling is that the shit must really hit the fan before people will even begin to countenance radical change.

The scale of what may lie ahead is beyond our ken. What people are doing is crossing their fingers and hoping for the best. There are climate change deniers who like the sound of their own voice.

The rule of thumb is that when you are in a hole it is best to stop digging. Hoping for the fairy godmother whilst buying some more semi-automatic assault rifles will not stop tornadoes or floods.

My guess is that humanity is heading for a really profound wake up call which will be beyond our current ken.

Shamballa and the Great White Lodge

Judging from my recent foray on Twitter/X conspiracy theories continue to circulate. The New World Order where an elite exerts financial control and runs the world is one. Another theory in circulation for nearly a century and a half is that there is a grouping of spiritually advanced beings called by some The Great White Lodge / Brotherhood who work behind the scenes to uplift and advise humanity towards the New Age putatively of Aquarius. In some circles they are spoken of with bated breath and there are more than a handful of people who have claimed telepathic rapport with members of this grouping. There is a doctrine of continuous revelation of “teachings” from Blavatsky and Leadbetter, through Alice Bailey and continuing to this present day.

In one of these recent transmissions given around 2020, the upcoming year 2025 is predicted pivotal and that Shamballa force or “energy” will come swiftly into play. This grouping of beings is, according to the teachings, coming into incarnation and starting to sow the seeds of the new age. They are externalising. The grouping entails people learning the teachings, starting to work with them and so-called initiates of various degree. Those beings having taken the fifth initiation are often referred to as masters or masters of ageless wisdom, sometimes even ascended masters. My scientific mind asks if they ascended, whereto?

I personally read everything with a pinch of salt and as little prejudice as I can muster. I will have by training a measure of scepticism. If one tries to translate there can be more truth than the face value occludes. Just as physical science may be sceptical of new agers, so are new agers suspicious of scientists, like me. {This is my generalisation based on limited personal interaction.}

Given the recent world events and the election in USA, the world is on tenterhooks and very edgy just now. One cannot accurately accuse Trump of being an altruistic and inclusive being. There are two cauldrons of human barbarism via high explosive ordnance regularly in the news. There is also Sudan and Myanmar where humanity is not excelling. Humanity is not acting on climate change and there are those who soap box about it not being real. There is head in the sand complacency. Inconvenient truths are ever the unwelcome leper. People are not willing to forego luxury, they want to have their cake and eat it. They are unprepared to change ways of living as A humanity. It will need to get very bad before most are ready to act. My own theory is that insurance will get so prohibitively expensive and that this will be a key motivator for change.

The prediction for 2025 being pivotal looks to be sound.

In the books by Bailey and Khul the great white lodge is due its centennial meeting in 2025.

Much of the spirit of genuine cooperative internationalism is being eroded by the undermining of the United Nations for petty political national purposes. The EU has been damaged by the UK exit. The urge for the United Nations came after the horrors, bloodshed and destruction of the 1914-1945 war. The USA has not had widespread backyard war since 1865. It seems people have forgotten.

I doubt the new age will be all sunshine and smiles like in Hair, certainly not at first.


This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius

Age of Aquarius

[Bridge]

Harmony and understanding

Sympathy and trust abounding

No more falsehoods or derisions

Golden living dreams of visions

Mystic crystal revelation

And the mind’s true liberation


It seems to me that the urge to good arises only when the shit has truly hit the fan and things have gotten very bad indeed. Humanity does not learn adequately from history and repeats the same mistakes over and over. In a sense there needs to be darkness before light. That darkness might need to be very dark indeed.

Unfortunately, the lead provided by the USA is not a good one, it is dominated by power over, threat, bullying and not diplomacy. The troubles and iniquity there, at home, are not addressed, blame is apportioned. The scapegoat of immigration does not hide the division already present. Blame the people who build your skyscrapers and clean your toilets. Smart.

It would be ironic if the age of Aquarius is the age of widespread flooding due to climate change and sea level rises, water everywhere.

In the blue books opus Shamballa acts by way of a distributive node whereby the impulses and ideas flow out into the global centres of humanity. The “masters” decide what they believe humanity needs and project this outward into wider society, via Shamballa. There is no requirement for humanity to enact what is offered but theory goes that those sensitive to impulse will choose to.

If this so-called externalisation is underway how might human beings respond to members of the white lodge?

I suspect humans being how they are, those in power will act to preserve that power and maintain the status quo, which is always a high inertia thing.

It could get very messy indeed next year.
