92-2018 -LESSON FOURTEEN - CAUSE AND EFFECT CONTINUED

We now understand that "Karma and Dhama" are actually part of the evolutionary force and energy initiated by the great beings who are and always have been,  forcing us to become uncomfortable, making sure that we are always moving forward and upward towards freedom.
The Master mentions the Three Worlds and we, as humans tend to compartmentalize - tucking anything that isn't formulated in the material world into these boxes in the mind.  But, remember that there's a rhythm of energy continually circulating around and through us that pulls us towards the realization that we're a many dimensional being - therefore, at some point, we must acknowledge the fact that the greater part of what makes us a living being, is the fact that we are living simultaneously in all Three Worlds - all the time, every minute of every day, we are participating in  the grand scheme, the Great Plan of our Father/Mother God. 

We can easily forget why we're here when caught up in our daily routine; but the Watchers and those in Hierarchy who are working behind the scenes are ever cognizant of our every thought, word and deed.  And at some point in our evolutionary path, we become aware of these powerful forces at work, not only for our planet but mainly for the raising of the consciousnes of mankind. mf

Therefore, we need to learn as much as we can from the Master of Wisdom, so that we're more aware of all that is circulating and surrounding us in a continual field of energy.  So let's see what further "pearls of wisdom" we can acquire from our World Teacher.

(3) Where lives are predominantly emotional and are physically oriented,  it is not a particular life that sets the pace, that the group of lives, simultaneously interacting with each other, which predisposes the future along certain lines.  This is eternally true of all human beings at a certain level of conscious development where they are swayed by mass ideas, moulded unthinkingly by tradition and public opinion, are frankly immersed in selfish interests, and are not 'taking hold" of conditions themselves, but are being carried forward on the tide of evolution.  It is a form of group activity - groups governed by the vibration of physical and astral forms - which produces the characteristics and tendencies which cause the situation and environing circumstances.

Groups Drawn Together Swayed By 

Mass Ideas, Moulded Unthinkingly by Tradition

and Public Opinion Carried Forward on the 

Tide of Evolution......

In this realization lies hid the secret of racial and national karma and conditions.  In these groups, the ordinary feeling, active man is immersed, and out of this immersion he must find his way by discovering and using his mind.  Instinct must give place to intellect.

Humanity Enmeshed in a Material World

and Tend to be Drawn to Groups Who Are Like-Minded

When the Master explains how most of humanity are stuck in their emotional body, allowing others' opinions to navigate us, then we realize that we are so enmeshed within the material world and tend to be drawn to groups who are like-minded.  We're like a ship without a rudder, and we are swept along willy-nilly on  the tide of evolution.  

...Groups that we attach ourselves to are

Like the Ancient Clans, where racially we stick together...

These groups that we attach ourselves to are like the ancient clans, where racially we tend to stick together - the same is true concerning our country, we tend to think that we are as a nation, the best, and brag about out ability to be the most powerful nation in the world. In truth, we're not so nice,  we have misused our power in many countries, and have built up karma nationally and globally

It's Only When We Come Apart to Seek a "More Perfect
Union" for Ourselves . . . .

It is only when we begin to seek a "more perfect union" for ourselves and for our country that we begin to separate ourselves from the crowd and it is at that point that we begin to think intelligently - and it is at this point that we begin to make wise choices both within our own consciousness as well as with those we would associate with - thus we're taking the first steps in the expansion of consciousness. - mf

The Initiate - Disciple On The Path

(4) For the initiate karma ends.  By this I mean that karma - as the ordinary student understands it - is no longer effective.  Neither good karma, resulting in a sense of bliss nor bad karma, resulting in a sense of penalty and related to a conviction of sin - as the Christian theology so dreadfully miscalls it - has any longer the slightest hold upon him.  manifestation and the Law of Cause and Effect are related; where manifestation exists, there this great  Law - governing substance and inate in matter - must control and must condition form.  The Master, however stands free, endowed with the Christ-consciousnes. He then wields this Law, but is not wielded by it.  Such is the reward of following the vision; first of all, the mystical vision; then later the vision of predetermined choice, of
 Plan and of cosmic opportunity.

The High Initiate In Meditation

Remember, D. K. is talking about the initiate in the above paragraph.  He's describing a highly evolved individual who has passed several major initiations, and is now able to control his emotional and lower mental bodies to the point that karma has no effect on him.  He moves in a field above the material world and karma, whether good or bad no longer has a hold upon him.  At this point of attaining Masterhood, he stands free - he can wield this Law (Cause and Effect) but is not wielded by it.  In other words, he can wield Karma to his students under the great Law; but He, himself, is no longer effected by it. mf

Bombarding the Earth In Cyclic Waves

(5) Great waves of karmic impact have beaten upon our Earth - that little ship adrift in time and space, and sailing the great ocean of cosmos.  The Lords of Karma have looked towards our planet.  Energy follows thought and that, my brother, is all  that karma is - the impact of directed energy upon the Earth, upon the kingdom in nature, upon man, and upon the individual disciple.  Much of the karma, especially now is NOT indiidual in purpose, nor is it generated in any way by the individiuals affected by it, be  or an individual disciple, or an ordinary human being.  It is largely incident at this time to the karma of the One in Whom we live and move and have our being.  It is primarily also in the sphere of Shamballa, and has small relation in the first instance to humanity at all.  This means but little to you, I realize.  This karma working out in Shamballa has, however, led to the vitalizing of the activities of certain "willful men; they have loosed great evil upon the Earth.  But this karma will also produce the stimulation of goodwill and thus lasting good will offset temporary evil.  This must not be forgotten.

If we look back upon our history and the history of the World, we can see the cyclic wave flowing and ebbing in rhythmic tides during certain periods of time.  Great wars have been continually fought that changed the geography of many countries, while great plagues have destroyed whole generations.  Great explorations have resulted in new territories, even exploring the moon and space all of the above are great karmic waves - and there are lesser waves that effect certain nations and individuals.  But, we now realize that Hierarchy is concentrating specifically on those who are evil and who have cropped up in certain countries, taking over the country, becoming their leaders, while causing death and destruction to the freedoms of every individual living under their rules.

Shamballa, The Etheric Retreat of

the Ancient of Days

And the Hierarchy Representing the Will of God

Shamballa is where the Ancient of Days has his abode in the Etheric above the Gobi Desert.  Shamballa  is under the First Ray, the Will to Good (the Will of God), and the Avatar of Synthesis, who has recently volunteered to accompany the Christ when He reappears upon the Earth, is also residing there awaiting the day and the hour of the Reappearance of the Christ here on Earth.
Those great First Ray beings who are from Shamballa, are very powerful.  The last time they extended their Will was to end the Second World War - while our men and women were in battle, they were gathering the Black

Magicians, residing in the astral plane, above the Black Forrest, who were manipulating the Germans under their evil Leader, Adolf Hitler.  There was truly a battle between the forces of Light and the Forces of Evil being fought simultaneously along with our allies.  If they hadn't intervened, who knows if our futures would be entirely different - would we all be under the rule of Facisism? So when D. K. speaks about us all being now subject to the One in Whom we live and move and have our being, He is speaking of God the Father, the Active Principle, who directs  those in Shamballs to do His Holy Will. mf

(6)Everything that is happening in the world today and which is so potently affecting humanity - things of beauty and of horror, modes of living, and civilization and culture, prejudices and likings, scientific attainment and artistic expression, and the many ways in which humanity throughout the planet colors existence - are aspects of affects, initiated somewhere, on some level, at some time, by human beings, both individually and en masse.

Karma is therefore that which Man -- the Heavenly Man in whom we live, humanity as a whole, mankind in  groups as nations, and individual man - has instituted , carried forward, endorsed, omitted to do, or has done right through the ages until the present moment.  Today, the harvest is ripe and mankind is reaping what it has sown, preparatory to a fresh ploughing in the springtime of the New Age, with a fresh sowing of the seed which will - let us pray and hope - produce a better harvest.

All that we do, whether great good or evil, our thoughts, words and deeds have powerful affects upon our environment as well as mankind; and when we multiply that with the power of groups gathered to either make  things better and/or make things worse - it all plays out in formulating the world we all live in today. And as the World Teacher states - we are now gathering the harvest of our own Karma, whether good or bad, it has already been sown, and the fruits of our labor will seed the New Age - 
with a fresh sowing of the seed which  will - we all pray and hope  - produce a better harvest. mf

(7)  There is also the Karma of Reward in contradistinction to that of Retribution; this is a type of karma oft forgotten, but one which will become better known in the coming world cycle.  Humanity has worked off much evil karma, and the karma based on causes later to be initiated, will not generate such dire effects as that of the past.  Not all karma is bad, in spite of what man thinks.  Much of it is necessariliy punitive and distressing, owing to humanity's ignorance and low stage of development.  When karmic retribution becomes acute and terrible, as it is in today's appalling world experience, it indicates that humanity has reached a point where consequences can be meted out on a large scale and with justice.

Very little suffering is attached to karma where there is ignorance, leading to irresponsibility, and complete lack of thought, and there is attached to affairs but little true sense of guilt.  There may be unhappy conditions with comensurate pain is lacking; there is little mental reaction to the processses of karmic retribution.  This should be borne in mind. The Aryan race is now, however, so developed mentally and on a large scale, that karma is truly horrible and agonizing, and can express itself through world conditions.  At the same time, the present wide-spread distress indicates the extent and success of human unfoldment, and is a most hopeful and promising sign.  In this idea, you have the clue as to why the good, the holy and the saintly servers of the race carry - in this world cycle - such a heavy load of karmic ill. 

What is clearly apparent here is that today's return of karma is not as painful as in the past.  Although I see the great suffering when innocent children are killed in their schoolrooms; and/or innocent men, women and children are killed in warfare or used as fodder for the enemy.  Also, the tremendous storms that have destroyed whole cities with loss of life - the eruption of volcanos and the increase of earthquakes along the Ring of Fire all are part and parcel to our everyday lives.  We have at the present time, leaders in our own country who are systematically removing our laws, one by one, laws that protect our freedoms, while at the same time threatening war and the use of nuclear weapons to other evil leaders.  They project fear into the hearts of people; and fear is how they plan on controlling everyone within the nation.  

When D. K. wrote the above statement, we were either in the midst or at the end of WWII; and He saw how people came together  to protect one another ad how NEVER AGAIN would we go to war.  Well, we've seen  wars in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, the Phillipines ever since WWII. 
The return of Karma is not as severe when one is ignorant of the Law, yet, we continually experience the same old patterns of behavior - religious wars, racist hatred and wars over territories - and it goes on and on.  You would think that somewhere along the many years that there would be a "wake-up" alarm, with people in every land revolting, marching and proclaiming that they are sick to death of War and expressing the need for peaceful negotiations among nations.  That these leaders need to go, while allowing those who want peace and goodwill to assume the role of leadership for every nation.

Sometimes, when we become too complacent, we end up with a return of karma in the role of leadership, as we are now experiencing in our own country.  Sometimes, we need that "wake-up" call that will force us all into action before its too late, and while there is still time, march en masse for what we believe - remember, the power of force always is centered within the group.  

As a disciple of Hierarchy, I, along with thousands of others, are holding the bridge between Humaniaty and Hierarchy.  Many among my students are also experiencing such a heavy load of karmic ill.  Yet, we continue to do the World Service, to call for the light of the Christ to surround all of our government buildings and those who are our representatives even into the Oval Office - "Let anything that is less than the Christ be released and let go into light, illumination and love forever. mf

91-2018 -LESSON THIRTEEN - Manifestations of Life Rhythms Continued 2/21/18

We have been paying close attention to how the Tide of Forces even moves our  Monads (see below) sweeping them along, causing what is called the "force of evolution".

This is Our Monad or

Higher Self

It Resides Approximately 38,000 Feet Above Our Heads

So, our Higher Selves are swept along even from one Universe to Another.  
Now that we have a better understanding of the ebb and flow of energy throughout the Universe, as well as, throughout our Four Lower Bodies we will begin to learn
more about "The Law of Cause and Effect"

The Future Effects of Karma

Since the early 40's and 50s we've heard about the teachings of the East concerning "Cause and Effect" and/or Karma and Dhama.  You'll hear people say very casually, "Well, that's my Karma!" Let's hear what Master Djwal Khul teaches in regards to the "Law of Cause and Effect":

(1) The karma of form is a vast subject too involved for average comprehension; but a factor of real importance which should not be overlooked in connection with the evolution of a world, a synthesis or worlds, or of a system, when viewed from higher levels.  Everything is, in its totality, the result of action taken by cosmic Essences and Entities in earlier solar systems, which is working out through the individual atoms and through those congeries of atoms which we call forms.

Our Solar System With Our Physical

Sun At the Center

Here, we immediately realize that the Master is telling us that karma is the result of action taken by "cosmic Essences and Entities in earlier solar systems".  Remember that the Ancient of Days told us in earlier lessons that everything that makes up our Universe as well as our planet came from an earlier Manvantara (billions of years in a former chain). 

Division of Time by Kalpas

 Therefore, after billions of years of rest, our Father/Mother God awakens once again and the Active Principle, or Father States: "Let There Be Light!" As soon as these words were spoken over 4.5 Billion Years ago, all life awakened to begin the New Manvantara of billions of years - metered out in a series of Yugs, each one connected to the Energy Forces that through their spirals swept everything before them.  At the beginning, The Father/Mother called forth great Beings or Essences from the last Manvantara, for instance, Alpha and Omega came as well as Helios and Vesta, they worked directly under the Father/Mother in forming the Great Central Sun home of Alpha and Omega; and the Sun of our System, home of Helios and Vesta.  The Seven Holy Kumaras, the First Sons of God also showed up.   Even the Elohim were called forth from the last Manvanatara to begin building each planet in our Solar System, along with the Goddess of Spring with Her Elementals who completed each planet after it was constructed by the Elohim, it took 950 years to complete our planet - in its original pristine state, thanks to the Goddess of Spring, the Elementals and Angel Devas.

Breakdown of the Yugas

The reason I am giving such detail to this first paragraph, is that like our Etheric Body that arrives with us at birth and leaves with our Soul when we have completed our life's work in any incarnation;  the same occurs on a much grander scale, as the New Manvantara begins. Everything that's left over from  the old universe and solar systems will be brought forth into the New Manvantara.

Wikipedia Explanation of a Mavantara and its Kalpa's of Yugs: . .. .(mf)

Kalpa (aeon) - Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalpa_(aeon)

Each kalpa is divided into 14 manvantara periods, each lasting 71 yuga cycles (306,720,000 years). Preceding the first and following each manvatara period is a juncture (sandhya) the length of a Satya-yuga (1,728,000) years.

(2) The Law of karma is the most stupendous law of the system, and one which it is impossible for the average man in any way to comprehend,for,  if traced back along its central root and its many ramifications, one eventually reaches the position causes antedating the solar system, have to be dealt with, and this point of view can only be usefully grasped by a high initiate.

We are but seeking to emphasize the fact of the inter-dependence of all atoms and forms, to lay stress upon the reality of the variety of influences which play upon all that is manifesting, and to call attention to the fact of the dharma of the past aeons.  Kalpas, and that unknowable period in which the initiatory impulses were set up which are still persisting, and which God, man, and atoms, are still working out and off.  Influence of vibrations, calling forth response, play upon every form that they tend to develop consciousness, of some kind, impose certain rhythms according to that conscious response, and produce aggregate or group activity.

Again, the Master emphasizes that if you go all the way back to the previous Manvantara, antedating our solar system would be where we would deal with those great souls or Entities who set up the forces that to the present time and beyond are the reality of influences which play upon all that is manifesting (right now) and all the aeons since where dhama has worked out (again forcing the evolution of a solar system, universe, planet, mankind and all life that exists in all dimensions during this period). 

Working Out Through Dhama Our Evolutionary Journey

Notice that He mentions that we are still working out our 

dhama along with God, man and all the atoms that the forces of evolutionary spiral energy play upon every form, and its always according to the individual's conscious response and group activity this moves us from the animal world into the world of man and finally evolving into the world of spirit - in other words, our path and/or journey back to God!.  (Remember, it is the God (Monad, or Higher Self within each of us that responds first, then relays the energy to the Solar Angel and finally, it filters down, down, and down again into our Physical world).  I would also like to mention here that up until the 19th Century, the Hierarchy was working only with individuals.  Around the early  1900's, they decided to try working with groups such as the I AM Group, Theosophy, Alice Bailey's Arcane.    School.  They realized immediately that working under group energy rather than individuals generated a tremendous amout of energy and the students evolved at a much quicker rate than working with the individual. - mf

The liberation from karma about which would-be occult students so glibly talk, is after all but the freeing of the atom from its own personal problem, and its conscious acquiescence in group response and work . . . Man is no longer the slave of the rhythm of matter per se, but controls it in the three worlds of his endeavor; he is still nevertheless controlled by the group karma of the planaetary center by its influence, life, and vibratory impulse.  The same can be predicated of a Heavenly Man, and of a Solar Logos.

But the freeing of the atom sounds quite simple; yet it takes us lifetime after lifetime to free  ourselves from our own misdeeds, what does it say in the bible "Evey jot and tiddle" must be paid back, and believe me, evey jot and tiddle will have to be worked out, removed, and the soul redeemed, over a period of many lifetimes until the physical body becomes the fiery body of spirit - and yet, we are still tied to the vibrations and karma of the planet - even the Heavenly Man and the Solar Logos are still caught up in the planetary center.  What does this mean?  Well, once we free ourselves, we realize that there are all those souls who are still struggling, still enmeshed in their own karma; and because we are Sons and Daughters of the most High God; we cannot abandon them; and so we stay and cope amidst the lower vibrations of the planet - even  those who have reached the Highest Point choose to stay rather than take their Ascension and move on; they cannot abandon their fellow men.  Now, when it comes to the Planetary Logos, we're looking at our Beloved Sanat Kumara, He volunteered millions of years ago to actually come back into our planet and take up residence over the Gobi Desert, in order to save the people of Earth and their Planet, that would have been destroyed by order from the Sacred Council.  He stayed and stayed until the late 1950's when He was ordered by Alpha and Omega to return to His own planet, Venus.  It was during his transition that Gautama the Buddha volunteered to take up Sanat Kumara's responsibilities as Planetary Logi at that time. - mf

When a man speaks of karma, he is dealing with something much wider than the interplay of effect and cause within the sphere of his own individual routine.  He is, in all things governed by causes originating in the aggregate of lives which form his egoic group, by the aggregate of groups which form one petal in a center of a Heavenly Man, by force or purpose circulating through a triangle of centers, and by the life energy, or purposeful will, of the planetary Logos Himself. Finally he is governed by the will of the Solar Logos as it demonstrates itelf in initiatory activity.  Beyond this we need hardly go; but enough has been said to show that every human atom is under the dominion of force outside his own consciousness, which sweep him and others into situations from which there is no escape, and which are to him, incomprehensible.

Okay! So, it's much more complicated than say, our karma and dhama because while we're thinking we're getting rid of our karma, we forget that we're all in this together, by that I mean, we all belong to certain groups that we're drawn to  either by relationship and/or by friendship - even our enemies are part of  this egoic group; but all of us can look around and know that there are certain people that we want to be with, need to be with and some, who we'd like never to have to associate with; but are forced to come together, whether instantly or through marriage, family or acquaintance -all will have to be dealt with in order to work out our karma with them.  This is where the forces beyond our knowledge come into play  - it is through their initiation that are set up for us, that we are forced to face whoever comes into our life at certain times, in order to deal with a past-life conflict that now needs to be faced and dealt with.  I might add here, that once one has chosen to step upon the Path of Iintiation and who has made the decision to follow that path until he is finally free of his karma; these initiations, challenges, become great initiations that will drop into ones awareness every so often during one lifetime.  (More trauma, trials and great tragedies occur to one who is on the Path of Return, than the normal human being who chooses to follow the status quo).  At some point along the Path, even  the Solar Logos becomes involved in order for that soul to pass all of his returning karma. mf

Nevertheless, within limits, man does definitely "control his destiny", and can initiate action which produces effects recognizable by him as being dependent upon his activity along a particular line.  he does,on a miniature scale, repeat the procedure of the Logos on a vaster scale, and thus is the  arbiter of his own destiny, the producer of his own drama, the architect of his own home, and the initiator of his own affairs.  Though he may be the meeting place of forces outside his control, yet he can utilize force, circumstance and environment, and can turn them, if he so will, to his own ends.

Again, we're hearing the Master acknowledge that to a certain extent we're masters of our own destiny.  in other words, we can choose to either clean up our act by doing good service; by picking our friends - ones that will keep us upon the right path, and by giving of our talents, whatever they may be, to help to lift others from falling by the wayside.  But, we cannot predict or dictate the day or the hour when our karma will return - for only the one chosen to initiate us, can measure our strengths and weaknesses; and can determine when we are strong enough, and have moved along the path to the degree where we can handle the sudden adversity, challenge, life-changing karma that will fall upon our shoulders without any warning.  This we cannot control; but we should have the inner strength, knowledge and ability to overcome whatever is being dropped into our world at that particular time.  
He also mentions how we can overcome our returning karma - by utilizing that energy or force that is circulating around us - through our own initiative, the very circumstances we find ourselves now entering, and especially our environment for within all of these is the energy necessary for us to overcome, turn things around and meet the challenges face to face. mf

...When the will and purpose of the Ego are realized by man in his waking consciousness in the physical brain, then the law of karma in the three worlds is neutralized and man is on the verge of liberation. He has exhausted the initial vibration, and there is no response within his sheaths to the threefold vibration of three worlds:  he stands freed from  the three kingdoms and the fourth.

Will and purpose of the Ego is the key here, because it takes all of our willpower and determination as an Ego to consciously meet each and every challenge over and over again until we are finally FREE.  We forget that we are living in "three worlds simultaneously" and that we are only thinking of our immediate physical world and how we meet the challenges of our returning karma - yet we are not only our physical selves; we are emotional, mental and spiritual - all of these worlds are contained within each of these bodies or sheaths - (mental, emotional and physical sheaths or bodies) - all must be realigned and controlled by the power of will, the purpose of finally being free; this in turn, expands and expands our consciousness - no longer are we subject to our "lower mind, the ego that's tied to the emotional body, that which keeps us tied to the wheel of karma and brings us kicking and screaming back into embodiment lifetime after lifetime.  Fiinally, we stand a free spirit, a Heavenly Man. mf
