MOUNTAIN THE THIRD

Spiraling Higher and Deeper

THE LIVING WAY

Entering the Kingdom of God

THE TRIUNE NATURE OF THE TRUE SOUL— Mind, Heart and Will of God ~ CHRIST in You

Daily Morning Alignment (abbreviated form; for in-depth form, please go to Week Two of the Second Mountain)

◊ We enter 'sacred time' — 'sacred space'. Light a Light unto the Christ in the sacred stillness of Silence … of the deep Heart-Mind.

◊ In the breathe of Life flowing through the Heart of the Sun— softly (silently) sound the Sacred Word, OM.

“O Thou ~ Who givest sustenance to the Universe,

From Whom all things proceed,

To Whom all things return,

Unveil to us the face of the true spiritual Sun,

Hidden by a disk of golden light,

That we may know the Truth

And do our whole duty

As we journey to Thy sacred *Fire

(*feet - in the original)

(THE GAYATRI - Hymn to the Sun)

ʘ

The SUN/SON’s rays pour through the Heart of the Sun — "The Son of Divine Love" throughout the body of the Solar system ... to and through the Earth and its Centers — Shambhala, Christ and the Spiritual Hierarchy, the Soul of Humanity … the Soul Star Group and all consecrated, dedicated groups working on behalf of the Greater Good … thence to each of us and the places wherein we live.

 ◊ Standing now in the ever present Life and Will energies of the Lord of the World … and the Love streaming from the Heart of Divine Love through the Spiritual Hierarchy, we open to the Peaceful Presence of the “True Soul” — the Light of Life — Love Eternal — Peaceful Silent Will of the Father … revealing the Presence of Being … Sensing It’s Touch upon us.  ◊ The "Breath of Life" pouring through all the centers" … a fountain of Life within which we now stand, we ‘live, move, breathe and have our Being’ … blessing all whom we “touch” and contact.  (OM)

◊ We attune now with the Soul Star Group and all Souls herein gathered — radiant spheres of loving Light (and therefore Life) forming a great Circle of “Presences” . ◊ From the Heart in the Crown … descending into the Ajna center of every participant, a stream of white Light issues forth into the Center and above the Group —converging to form a White Cross of Light hovering in the Center of the Christ Circle where stands the Christ, His Presence … thence returning, flowing to and through the Soul Star Group. 

The Soul Star Group grows in Light, and Loving, Living Power — visibly radiating as a Living Presence in the Christ Field — in service of the Plan of God. ◊ OM

(replay the Interlude if you choose, or a selection of your choice that inspires you)

An Angel of the Lord stands before Us — Preparing the Way in the refining Fires of Agni

She bears the Sword of Truth — the WILL OF GOD — in One Hand and draws upon the Power of the Sun in the other ~

In all humility, inwardly we say, “Be With Us — this Day, this Night — throughout these Days of ‘Mountain the Third‘.

In the energy field of the Soul Star Group, we open ourselves to a new and higher transmission as we move up “Mountain the Third” of vibrational Consciousness” … (pause).

Sounding the sacred Word, OM (silently or softly aloud) … we gather our energy in the Heart Center of the Chalice … through which radiates the Love and Light of the Christ and spiritual Hierarchy …

In the fires of expectancy … pure love … refining true perception … bliss … we forward move upon the Way.  

ʘ

Close with the Great Invocation, now or after the Day’s Practice

Sounding three OMs, make the sign of the Cross each time — up/down, right/left, followed by drawing a circle of energy around the cross, and pressing into the Center the Advent Light for this week — “Love All”.

Before us looms '“Mountain the Third”

MONDAY

AN ESOTERIC FRAGMENT

Where is the gate, O Lanoo, which guards the triple-way?

Within the sacred heart of Him Who is the threefold Path. I reach the gate and pass within, entering thus the Heart, through the means of wide compassion.

How many gates are there, O Passer on the Way?

The gates are seven, each leading to the centre of a great sphere of bliss.  By the one who seeks to know, the first gate must be found.  That entered, in periodic cycles he will find the other six.

You speak of wide compassion as the key that opens wide the gates.  Explain in words the simplest the need that this involves.

The need of gentle mercy, which knows and sees yet understands; the need of tears of crystal to wash away a brother's sins;

‘Entering my Brothers Heart … I See, I Know, I Understand. In these words born of true perception, veils of separation fall.’

The need of fiery courage that can hold a brother's hand, and lift and elevate him though all the world cry "nay";

‘I take his hands and lift us both unto a higher sphere. Together we onward move.’

The need of comprehension, that has experienced and knows; the occult [esoteric] sense of oneness guides unto the gate.

What else will lead a man to the portal of the Path?

Compassion first and conscious oneness; then death to every form that holds and hides the life; next wisdom linked with learning, and the wise use of the Word; speech of an occult [esoteric] nature and the Silence of the Centre held in the noise of all the world.

Can you, O Lanoo, blend these thoughts into a threefold charge?

"First Oneness, then the Word, and lastly Growth.”

(Rays and Initiations, 763. Words indented are my own)

ʘ

DIAMOND SOUL PRACTICE

Choose the gate and the key to the portal.

Add to it the blended threefold charge.

Proceed onward apace in the Silence of the Centre.

Phrase I – For the Mind

“Like a golden butterfly, which flies towards the sun, I find myself poised upon the lotus petal of the earth. Held by the breath of love I hover. I stay a little moment and then I fly into the golden pathway which leads into the sun. — “I am drawn by the Heart of the Son of Divine Love.”

Phrase II – For the feeling (sentient) body

There is no darkness and no fog. There is no night, nor day. There are no storms, nor peace; no rest, nor strife. Only the changeless love of God, which works towards Good.

Phrase III – In Service

Down from the mountain top I come, bringing the ‘light of love, the love of God’.

Into the chalice of all forms I meet, I pour this love which light confers, this love which life sustains.

I see the love of life divine pour through the form, my own and others. It heals and soothes.

Thus is the task performed.  Thus is a man of earth transformed into a Son of God.”  

(DNA-I, 558/9)

Each initiation is an expansion of Consciousness … demonstrating as an increased capacity to “Love All”.

Remembering the Third Advent Light: “From out the East, bringing a light divine, the Word comes swinging round the square: Love All.”

DIAMOND SOUL PRACTICE

Choose … to “Be With” (the above phrases) today. 

Should any disturbance occur in the field (in yours, another’s, your groups, in the world), channel it through one of the Phrases — and the living current of “the Mind that Is in Christ” — growing in You. 

wednesday

“We are told in the New Testament that we must endeavour to let the mind which was in Christ also be manifest in us. We are working towards the perfecting of the rule of Christ on earth; we are aiming at the development of the Christ consciousness and at the bringing in of the rule or law of Christ, which is Love. This will come to fruition in the Aquarian Age, and we shall see brotherhood established on earth. The rule of Christ is the dominance of the basic spiritual laws.

“The mind of Christ is a phrase conveying the concept of the rule of divine intelligent love, which stimulates the rule of the soul within all forms, and brings in the reign of the Spirit. It is not easy to express the nature of the revelation which is on the way. It involves the recognition by [people] everywhere that the "mind-stuff" … to which their own minds are related and of which their mental bodies are an integral part, is also part of the mind of Christ, the cosmic Christ, of Whom the historical Christ is—upon our planet—the ordained representative.

“When … through meditation and group service [men and women] have developed an awareness of their own controlled and illumined minds, they will find themselves initiated into a consciousness of true being and into a state of knowledge which will prove to them the fact of the soul, beyond all doubt or questioning.” (EP-I, 95/6)

CONTEMPLATION — slowly read, and re-read the above paragraph (now divided into three sections). This sacred word text is written upon a foundation of light — the sacred Light of Knowledge. Let us now elevate these “lights” into expanded feeling … thence expanded awareness … thence the whispering revelations of the “reign of Spirit” — the way of true livingness.

simple DIAMOND SOUL PRACTICE FOR TODAY

Divine Light was received by the Christ and led to His function as the “Light of the World” illumining the Plan of God and God’s purpose. As the “Light of the World”, He “refracted” new Light into the world — illumining Truths of the higher worlds with the full perception of His Soul (the Triune Soul-Self) — giving and sharing a new understanding of the experience of Reality of the inner life. Enunciating new Truths and a living wisdom, illuminating principles and higher Values for daily living, revealing Beauty and a “proper sense of proportion” for perfected living — He formulated the purpose for His ‘appearance’ then and now. Christ released the Power of Divine Love into the world — the unconquerable, ineradicable nature of God — of the Good, the Beautiful and the True … lightening all burdens.

What then is the Gift that each of us can give to the world as we travel from one Initiatory Mountain to another?

“Each can begin to express in daily living some quality of God which Christ so perfectly portrayed and which carried Him in triumph from the Mount of Transfiguration down into the valley of duty and of service …” (FBTC - The Third Initiation)

As each of us progressively reveals the Divinity within, we too “stand as beacons of light“.

The gift of the Third Mountain is ““The mind of Christ … the rule of divine intelligent love, which stimulates the rule of the soul within all forms, and brings in the reign of the Spirit” — the first touch of the Monad.

The manifestation of light radiates and resounds, creating a bridge of illumination to higher worlds and those seeking light.

This Light rules, illumines and lightens the Way.

As we advance upon the Third Mountain, “the rule of divine intelligent love”—the illumining Fire of Mind progressively burning more brightly lights the Way to the Center — within, ahead, abroad.

TODAY, let us hold in mind the mantric phrase containing the above truths:

‘Let the Mind which is in Christ also be manifest in You (Me)’

THURSDAY

Christ embodied the Idea that “God Is Love”, and that Love is the motivating power of the Universe.

Mankind has an "undying belief in the loving Heart of God" ever meeting his need. 

"The reason for this faith, innate in the human heart, is to be found the fact of the nature of Deity itself. The … statement that "God is Love" is founded on that deepest, recognized, spiritual fact. The expression of this divine characteristic can be summed up in the words from The Voice of the Silence:

THE LAW OF LOVE ETERNAL — "Compassion is no attribute. It is the Law of Laws—eternal Harmony, Alaya's Self; a shoreless, universal essence, the light of everlasting right and fitness of things, the law of love eternal."

To this everlasting Compassion the cyclic appearance of the Sun Gods of the ancient myths, the World Saviours and the Avatars bear witness and are the guarantee." (Externalization of the Hierarchy, 286)

CONTEMPLATIVE DIAMOND SOUL PRACTICE ~

“The Monad is Life, the sustaining force, a Lord of persevering and ceaseless devotion …”

∞

Devotion to oneself becomes devotion to Humanity. Devotion to Love — opens all gates. How wondrous it is to find the inexhaustible universe of Love. “Let us not forget this even for a moment.“

How wondrous is the realization that daily devotion and a flaming love can be offered to the Lord of Love … and to Life — God of Love … and to all that lives.

When the highest striving is offered, that which is contacted manifests in the Chalice, therefore:

“Be aflame in Heart and create in Love.”

(Hierarchy, 176)

In the Chalice of Love Eternal — My Cup runneth over for all the World.

OM

In the Silence that Sounds,

~ Be now a Cup of Love Eternal — running over for all the world ~

FRIDAY

“The teaching in The Secret Doctrine about the reincarnating monads who are called the divine Sacrifices, Lords of Knowledge, Will and Sacrifice, will be clarified. These monads, who are ourselves, are Lords of Persevering Ceaseless Devotion …” (EA, 98)

“The Secret Doctrine speaks of the Lords of Knowledge and of Love, and also of the Lords of Ceaseless Devotion. We might, in order more clearly to understand the mystical significance of these names, point out that the dynamic persistent will of the Logos expresses itself through the Lords of Ceaseless Devotion. Here devotion … is the persistent directed one-pointed will of God, embodied in a Life which is that of the Lord of the first ray. The Lords of Love and of Knowledge are the two great Lives Who embody or ensoul the Love-Wisdom and the creative Intelligence aspects of the two major rays. These three are the sum total of all forms or appearances, the givers of all qualities, and the emerging Life aspect behind the tangible manifestations. They correspond, in the human family, to the three aspects of Personality, Soul and Monad. The Monad is dynamic will or purpose, but remains unrevealed until after the third initiation. The Monad is Life, the sustaining force, a Lord of persevering and ceaseless devotion to the pursuit of a seen and determined objective. The soul is a Lord of love and wisdom, whilst the personality is a Lord of knowledge and of intelligent activity. This use of terms involves the realisation of an achieved goal. It is not true of the present stage as regards expression, for this is the intermediate stage. None are as yet working with full intelligent activity, though some day each will do so. None are as yet manifesting Lords of love, but they sense the ideal and are striving towards its expression. None are as yet Lords of ceaseless will and none realise as yet the plan of the monad nor the true goal towards which all are striving. Some day all will. But potentially every human unit is all these three, and some day the appearances which were called personalities that mask or veil reality, will fully reveal the qualities of Deity. When that time comes, the purpose for which all creation waits will burst upon the awakened vision, and we shall know the true meaning of bliss, and why the morning stars sang together. Joy is the strong basic note of our particular solar system. (Esoteric Psychology-I, 48/9) CONTEMPLATE

This is the true aim of Esoteric Advent as part of the New World Religion. The more immediate aim is to ready the field for the Coming of the Great Ones — an “esoteric advent”.

“The Heart Center Holds the Life”

“At a gathering of the Great Ones not so long ago, the question was asked:  "What can we do? for this emergency [the world in crisis] must be met." A silence fell upon the assembled group. This lasted quite a long time and then they, one and all, simultaneously voiced the reply, speaking as if they were one person, such was the unanimity:  "Let us touch the hearts of men anew with love, so that those who know will love and give.  Let us give love ourselves."  

◊   ◊   ◊

“ … the Heart is the centre of loving, giving energy, and the distributor of life.”  (EP-II, 734/5)

There may be some among us who will bring to life these words, saying each morning with the sun’s rise, or at the noon day recollection, or evening repose, the following words – entering the Source whence they came:

‘We know, Oh Lord of Life and Love, about the need. Touch our hearts anew with love that we too may love and give.’

∞

SATURDAY

“… The ego is legion, but the Holy Spirit is one.  No darkness abides anywhere in the Kingdom [of God] … your part is only to allow no darkness to abide in your own mind. This alignment with light is unlimited, because it is in alignment with the Light of the World.  Each of us is the light of the world, and by joining our minds in this light we proclaim the Kingdom of God together and as one.” CONTEMPLATE

(ACIM, T99, 13)

REVIEW the THIRD MOUNTAIN. Review the week. Pause upon a Day of teaching, or a phrase, or the week as a whole. See it as a Soul template overlaid upon you and the Group Soul … for embodiment, empowering the Soul to come forth upon the planes of earth in ever greater measure — a Light of Love and Holy Purpose in the world.

The Law of Love — “LOVE ALL” — stands out for us now as Truth … and the power of It.

PREPARING FOR THE WINTER SOLSTICE WINDOW

VENUS — Hierarchical transmitter of Capricorn

During these Days, we prepare for the “standing stillness” of the Winter Solstice and the Solar Angelic “high rule” that Venus brings in the Sign of Capricorn: 

"When Love and Mind and Will meet on the Mount of Transfiguration, they “reveal the secret of the hidden glory”. 

(EA, 167)

“In the New Testament there is depicted for us the life of a Son of God in full manifestation, wherein, freed from every veil, the Soul in its true nature walks the earth.  It becomes apparent to us, as we study the life of Christ, what it means to develop the powers of the soul, to attain liberation, and become, in full glory, a God walking on earth.”   (Light of the Soul, xiii)

“Esoterically, all world Saviours and Sun Gods are born in Capricorn.”

On Winter Solstice Day, Solar Light enters through Capricorn.

~ IN SOLSTICE STILLNESS ~

STANDING STILL

PEACE BE WITH YOU ~ AND IN YOU

PEACE BE WITH — AND IN HUMANITY

PEACE BE WITH — AND IN THE WORLD

PEACE BE IN ALL LIFE

LAST YEAR - TO REMEMBER !

COULD THIS HAVE BEEN THE TIME FOR A NEW BIRTH OF THE AQUARIAN CHRIST ON EARTH AT SOME ENERGETIC LEVEL OF MANIFESTATION?

SATURDAY / SUNDAY / monday

“The exact time of the conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter moving into zero degrees Aquarius begins Saturday, December 19, 2020 at 5:07 AM Pacific Time / 1:07 PM GMT.

Jupiter 00º00 Aquarius

Saturn 00º15 Aquarius

The moment they are in exact conjunction is Monday, December 21 at 11:50 AM Pacific time.

Jupiter 00º30 Aquarius

Saturn 00º30 Aquarius

Jupiter and Saturn were the two planets visible in the night sky approximately 2000 years ago at the birth of the Christ. All Sun Gods are born in Capricorn. Orions Belt — the Three Kings, pointing to Sirius — the Cosmic Christ.

֎

Hold in mind the following:

Jupiter and Saturn have now begun to swing close into each others orbit (in a very close conjunction or union) that begins Saturday, Dec 19, 2020, whose combined presence can be felt by those who are sensitive and tuned in.

JUPITER transmits LOVE whilst Saturn transmits LIGHT and WILL that expresses on a human level as higher laws of the Soul. Both are sacred planets in the solar system, meaning they have achieved Soul Status at a planetary level. In such close union (conjunction), they magnify each other’s potencies. Given that this conjunction is occurring during the Solstice — a solar planetary event when the Solar Logos (God) communicates directly with the planetary God of Earth — opening a portal for this alignment of energies to flow through Earth’s Centers (Shambhala, Hierarchy, Humanity and all the lower Kingdoms). Saturn and Jupiter arriving at the same moment, They come as welcome Guests, giving Their gifts of new LIGHT, of a new and higher WILL and a new and omnipresent LOVE ‘Presenced’ upon and through the Earth, THROUGH all conscious servers standing ready to receive these energies. These planets make Their Presence known in the sign Aquarius, heralding the Age of Aquarius. A new Dispensation can be expected. A new Appearance of the Christ, Aquarian leader for Humanity — the Aquarian Christ — can be expected. All conscious servers stand ready to receive and distribute these energies.
