1 - SEED GROUPS
The plan of Hierarchy through the Tibetan to Alice Bailey was the introduction of the TEN NEW SEED GROUPS- this was only possible to even contemplate because mankind had reached a certain attainment in the evolutionary progress as a whole.
The plan for this work and/or experiment would take place over the next two centuries.
What the Master is telling us is that we've reached a point in our
journey up and down Jacob's Ladder that signals to Hierarchy that
we have reached that certain point in evolutionary attainment that
makes possible for Hierarchy to introduce their Plan for Mankind that will introduce certain among the "New Group of World Servers" that have reached that point wherein they can contact, receive and communicate the ability to project their points of light into our planet during this dark cycle between two Great Ages -
Pisces that is dying out while Aquarius is making itself felt through
its potency.

These Seed Groups are intensifying energized living points of light living and working within the group known as the New Group of World Servers, through which new types of energy enter into the
human race. They are also now only infant points of light that act as the way-showers to guide us all towards a future of closer relationship with our Elder Brothers, the Spiritual Hierarchy of our planet, they will eventually bring about a more loving relationship within humanity itself; while at the same time they will bring about a global brotherhood of loving responsibility.
These disciples are taking the baby steps of bringing forth the new
energies that are so desperately needed in order to increase the light within and on the Planet; but at the same time, they will be working within the Seventh Ray energy now prevalent upon the planet. When I speak of the Seventh Ray, I'm speaking of the incoming
powerful rays that will over a certain period of time, change the way we communicate - change the way we interpret and expand in consciousness and especially see all of mankind as the brotherhood of God - each coming in under a certain ray, a certain color, a certain vibration - it is during this time that we not only expect to see global changes within humanity, within world economy as well as within the governing of each and every nation - we not only will look forward to the Externalization of many of Hierarchy, including
the Christ for those of us in the West; but also the Buddha that has
been just as anxiously expected in the East i.e. we're speaking of
Lord Maitreya (who is presently Lord of the World, and is the
great teacher of all the World Teachers) He will be joining the Christ and many of the angelic hosts, devas and the Hierarchy over the elemental, plant and animal kingdoms in and on Planet Earth.
The following information is from various sources i.e.
► Main article: Maitreya's retreat over Tientsin, China
As well as the Focus of Illumination, his retreat in the Himalayas, Maitreya maintains an etheric retreat over Tientsin, China, southeast of Peking (Beijing). With Lord Gautama he also teaches students seeking to graduate from earth’s schoolroom at the Eastern and Western Shamballa and at the Royal Teton Retreat.
As the sponsor of twin flames, he is the friend of all initiates of the sacred fire. When called upon, he will give the illumination of the Christ and the strength of the Word to pass the initiations that come under his sponsorship.
His banner is the thoughtform of a mighty clipper ship as it comes in with the tides at eventide to fetch souls of mankind to take them to another shore. His musical keynote is “Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life.”

Lord Maitreya
Lord Maitreya holds the office of Cosmic Christ and Planetary Buddha. His name means “loving kindness,” and he focuses the radiance of the Cosmic Christ to the evolutions of earth. Guardian to the planet Earth from Venus, he succeeded Lord Gautama as Cosmic Christ when Gautama became Lord of the World at a Royal Teton ceremony on January 1, 1956. Under the office of the Cosmic Christ, Lord Maitreya monitors potential earth changes as well as the comings and the goings of the fallen angels and the progress of the Christs incarnate.
In the history of the planet, there have been numerous Buddhas who have served the evolutions of mankind through the steps and stages of the path of the bodhisattva. Lord Maitreya, the Cosmic Christ, has passed the initiations of the Buddha. He has come to the fore in this age to teach all who have departed from the way of the Great Guru Sanat Kumara, from whose lineage both he and Gautama descended.

Maitreya is worshiped in Tibet, Mongolia, China, Japan and throughout Asia, where he is revered by Buddhists as “the Compassionate One” and as the coming Buddha. While Maitreya is accepted by all Buddhists, he does take on a variety of roles in different cultures and religious sects. These roles include the guardian and restorer of the Dharma; intercessor and protector; a guru who personally communes with, initiates and teaches his devotees; a messiah who descends when the world is in turmoil; a messenger sent by the Divine Mother to rescue her children; and the Zen Laughing Buddha.
Buddhist scholar Evans-Wentz describes Maitreya as the “Buddhist Messiah, who will regenerate the world by the power of divine love, and inaugurate a New Age of Universal Peace and Brotherhood. He is at present in the Tushita Heaven, whence He will descend and be born among men and become the future Buddha, to reveal anew, as did Gautama and the long Dynasty of past Buddhas, the Path leading to the Great Liberation.”[1]
In Chinese Buddhism, Lord Maitreya is sometimes portrayed as the “Hemp-bag Bonze.” (A “bonze” is a Buddhist monk.) In his role, Maitreya appears as a plump, jolly, pot-bellied Laughing Buddha. He is often shown sitting and holding a sack, with happy children climbing all over him. To the Chinese, he represents prosperity, material wealth and spiritual contentment; the children represent the blessing of a large family.
Buddhist scholar Kenneth Ch’en writes of this portrayal of Maitreya:
One feature of his appearance singled him out—he carried a hemp bag wherever he went. Into this bag was deposited whatever he received, and for this reason, the bag became an object of intense curiosity, especially among the children. They would chase him and climb all over him, and force him to open his bag. On such an occasion he would place the bag on the ground, empty the contents one by one, and just as methodically put them back into the bag. The expressions attributed to him were all enigmatic and exhibit [Zen] characteristics.... Once a monk asked him about his bag; he replied by placing it on the ground. When asked what this meant, he shouldered the bag and went away. Once he was asked how old the bag was, and he replied that it was as old as space.[2]
This bag demonstrates the mystery of space and the miracle of space under the dominion of the Buddha. Its timelessness shows the Buddha’s mastery of segments of eternity, hence eternity itself, through the flame of Mother.
Lord Maitreya and Lord Gautama were the first from among mankind to respond to Sanat Kumara’s magnetic pull to face God and to return to that divine estate in which man had first been created and which he was destined to outpicture in the world of form.
The time came when the one who had served the earth as her Planetary Buddha chose to return to his own planetary chain, leaving a vacancy in this office for one from among earth’s guardians to fill. Lord Maitreya applied for the initiations necessary to qualify for this office. Centuries of self-discipline, of training, of devotion and of mastery were required in order for him to attain his present stature. His colleague through all of these classrooms of experience was Lord Gautama, who, by a margin won the buddhic degree first, while Lord Maitreya was accorded the office next in line—that of World Teacher.
As World Teacher, his mission was to design for each two-thousand-year cycle the specific type of spiritual instruction most required for the human race for that period. Whenever there was a readied and willing instrument, he was to act as mediator, polarizing the atoms of the four lower bodies of that lifestream, so that the divine plan of that one’s individualized I AM Source might flow through its instrument, outpicturing in the world of form the works of a Christ.
Lord Maitreya is the teacher of Jesus, who, with Kuthumi, now holds the office of World Teacher. Maitreya demonstrates on behalf of an evolving humanity the cosmic consciousness of the Christ in all areas of human endeavor and its universality throughout cosmos. He is known as the Great Initiator and was, in fact, the initiator of Jesus in his individualization of the Christ flame in his final embodiment as world saviour and exemplar of the way, the truth and the life to all aspirants on the path of personal Christhood.
Maitreya was himself a chela of Lord Himalaya (manu of the fourth root race) and has his own Focus of Illumination in the Himalayan Mountains. He was the guru of twin flames in the Garden of Eden, which was a mystery school of the Brotherhood. The Mystery School of Eden, located on Lemuria near where San Diego is today, was the first mystery school on planet Earth. And Maitreya, referred to as the Lord God in Genesis, was its first hierarch.
Since the expulsion of man and woman from the Garden of Eden because of the misuse of the sacred fire in the incorrect application of free will, the Great White Brotherhood has maintained mystery schools and retreats that have served as repositories for the knowledge of the sacred fire that is vouchsafed to twin flames when they have demonstrated the discipline necessary to keep the way of the Tree of Life. The Essene Community was a repository for certain of the ancient mysteries as was the school at Crotona conducted by Pythagoras.
Following the sinking of Lemuria and Atlantis, the mystery schools that had been established there were relocated in China, India and Tibet as well as in Europe, the Americas and the Pacific fire ring, where they were maintained for thousands of years until, one by one, they were overrun by the hordes of darkness.
Wherever these schools have been destroyed, the ascended masters who sponsored them withdrew their flames and sacred shrines to their retreats on the etheric plane. Here their disciples are trained between embodiments and in their finer bodies (during sleep or samadhi) in order that they might attain that divine Self-knowledge that, until Saint Germain once again advanced it in the twentieth century, had not been available to mankind en masse in the physical plane for centuries. Maitreya has explained that in this time the outer world itself has become the retreat in which each man will take his initiations and, passing these, will gain his eternal freedom, his ascension in the light.
The whole plan that Hierarchy has for these High Disciples is for them to be so in tune with Hierarchy - their inner guides, that they
will be able to comprehend and receive the new energies as they
are presented and in turn transmit them and seed them into the
consciousness of mankind. The plan is tenfold and therefore it will work on every level of the human consciousness and all of their activities. Some will work only behind the scenes; and will be
vital to the field of communication and introducing the vital changes not only in the field of communication but also in the
making mankind aware of the communication with the Soul. They
will also be responsible for working and communicating between
the different seed groups as well.
As we have seen in our past lessons many are already having a
definite impact in the field of education, which are now beginning
to show excellent results in various parts of the world.
Many who will follow the lessons concerning these
seed groups will identify with one of these groups - this will help
them to recognize one's service group and take a step forward in the life of the soul.
2 - THE TRAINED OBSERVERS
Their objective is to see clearly through all events, through space and time by means of the cultivation and use of the intuition. They work very largely on the astral plane at the dissipation of glamour, thus bringing in illumination to mankind. Thus another type of energy is brought into play, producing another type of inter-relation and communication. This communication is between the plane which is the plane of illumination and pure reason ( the buddhic plane) and the plane of illusion and glamor, which is the astral plane.
There is no separateness on the buddhic plane. There consciousnesses do not necessarily merge instantly at the lowest level, but they gradually grow wider and wider until, when we reach the highest level of the buddhic plane, and have fully developed ourselves through all its different subdivisions, we find ourselves consciously one with humanity. That is the lowest level at which the separateness is absolutely non-existent; in its fullness the conscious unity with all belongs to the next plane – the nirvanic.

The Trained Observers are asked to remember that their great task is to dispel the world illusion through the pouring in of light. When there are a sufficient number of groups, working along these lines, there will be found - upon the physical plane - certain channels of communication which will act as the mediators between the world of light and the world of illusion. They will be transmitters of that form of energy which will break up the existing glamours and illusions, and so dissipate the ancient deceptive throughtforms. They will release the light and peace which will illumine the astral plane and dispel the illusory nature of its life.
This group uses the following centers in their work: The head, heart and solar plexus centers (chakras)

The intuition ever views things in terms of the whole. This group is consequently highlighting the need to renounce the separative and self-centered tendencies that are making a resurgence within humanity as a whole at this time. It is doing this by making the difference between self-centered living and the values of service and wholeness usefully and abundantly clear. They can do this by example, and also through their perceptive commentary on world events, thus elevating and purifying the field of journalism.

Wow! Before I read this, I spoke about increasing our lights in the world. This lesson really explains my desire and motivation for all of us to be lights in this dark world. Thank you Margaret for sharing this wisdom and your powerful insights with us. Blessed are you for being gifted by the Masters! Love you, Lily
