We dedicate today’s cosmic alignment between Earth-Sun-Merak to the theme of Liberty and Liberation as presented by the esoteric Teaching:
The Will-to-Good is the service of Liberation.
“Let the Lords of Liberation issue forth. Let Them bring succour to the sons of men.
Who are the Lords of Liberation, and from whence do They come? All the ideas and concepts which control human life and have given rise to our civilisation have started as emanations from certain great Lives, Who are Themselves an expression of a divine Idea. The note They strike and the quality They emanate reaches out and makes an impact upon the most developed of the sons of men found at any particular time upon the Earth. These then proceed to make the sensed idea their own and to familiarise the thinkers of their time with the formulated concept. In this way great motivating, divine purposes become controlling factors in human progress. It is in this way that the basic urge to liberation and to freedom has slowly and consistently dominated human endeavour, leading first of all to the struggle for individual freedom and liberation (with the incidental ideal of heaven, of initiation and of spiritual attainment), and gradually moulding human thought to such an extent that the greater ideal takes shape. The freedom of humanity and the liberation of its power to be self-determining (which is an aspect of freedom) has become the dearest ideal and the best thought of the thinkers in all nations. …
All great ideas have their emanating Sources of life, therefore, and These are called in the ancient invocation with which we are occupied “Lords of Liberation.” … They cannot be moved by prayer, demand and invocation alone. Such demand must have behind it the ideal of a newer freedom and a greater liberty for man. In the abrogation of the French idealism, summed up in the words— “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity”—the attention of the whole world was focussed on the theme of liberty, and the symbolism of the event is of far greater import than has yet been grasped. … It also produced, spiritually speaking, a direct line of communication between men who know the significance of freedom and long for human release, and the Lords of Liberation Who are responsible for implanting this innate desire in humanity. … The Lords of Liberation can be reached, therefore, by the call of the world servers, and They will then issue forth through the agency of One of Them, Who will unify the energies of all Three, and so produce those conditions which will bring about effective and recognised freedom. … the most probable method will be through the overshadowing of some man, or some group of men, so that they will be inspired to bring about the victory of liberty.
… This coming One is on the Path of a world Saviour just as the more potent Lives, the Lords of Liberation, are on the Path of world Service. They issue forth via that highest spiritual centre wherein the Will of God is held in solution or custody, for gradual release or revelation as humanity can arrive at the needed point of understanding response and receptivity. Though They can be reached relatively easily, it must be through the massed intent of the many focussed minds.
… “Liberty,” as the Lords of Liberation may endorse it, is in reality the recognition of right human relations, freely adjusted, willingly undertaken and motivated by a sense of responsibility which will act as a protective wall; this will take place, not through coercive measures, but through correct interpretation and quick appreciation by the masses, who are apt to confound licence (personality freedom to do as the lower nature chooses) and liberty of soul and conscience. Yet this liberty is the easiest aspect of the divine will for humanity to grasp. It is in reality the first revelation given to man of the nature of the Will of God and of the quality of Shamballa. “Equality” is that peculiar understanding which the Coming One will reveal and which is based on a right sense of proportion, correct Self- respect, and understanding of the spiritual, yet natural, laws of Rebirth and of Cause and Effect, and which will be founded in future centuries on the recognition of the age of a soul’s experience and gained development, and not at all on the loud emphatic affirmation that “all men are equal.” “Fraternity” is something that humanity itself will contribute as an expression of the third aspect of divinity, basing it on right contact and right reaction to contact. Thus there will be developed gradually the true life-theme of humanity, which is brotherhood, founded on divine origin (equality) and leading to a free and true expression of divinity (liberty).” (From: A. A. Bailey, Externalization of the Hierarchy, Lucis Collection p. 266-272)
“The blended invocation and the united call from the different levels of the human consciousness will bring a mighty appeal to bear upon the hidden Centres of the “Saving Force.” It is this united appeal which you must now organise.” ((From: A. A. Bailey, Esoteric Astrology, Lucis Collection p. 573)
The Will is the Agent of Life and Freedom
Let the One Humanity be Will to Liberation*
* These ideal Formulas are asserted and activated in the silence of the common Heart, in correspondence with today’s important alignment on the ecliptic plane between the Earth-Sun axis and the supernal Star of direction Merak, First Ray fire of the Great Bear, 6 months after the symmetrical Sun-Earth-Merak. Such Dates, of union and identification with the Sacred Center of the Divine Will and a direct Source of Shamballa, the Earth Head Center, are propitious for the One Humanity to resound its call to the power of Liberation, to transform impotence into will-to-good and goodwill.
As we contemplate Liberty and Liberation, this outline of exactly what we are or will become liberated from is most helpful. One cannot reach Union with God before becoming a perfect reflection. The attainment of Christhood is only one step along the way on the journey back to the Source. Nevertheless, it is an essential step for earth humanity at some point in the distant future to allow us to fulfill our Earthly destiny of being receptive agents for Cosmic energies to reach and embody the planet.
We perhaps can assume that at least part of the Plan of evolution for humanity is to bring humanity up to its destined earthly goal and beyond, step by step as the necessary purifications and initiations occur. Each step is attained by freeing ourselves from what is holding us back. We engineer our own freedom by the purity of our thoughts, words and actions.
Part of the hierarchical Plan for the present and relatively near future, have been anchored on Earth by what Master DK calls the Three Temples of the Mysteries. With the necessary energies anchored by the Buddha on the mental plane; by the Christ on the astral plane and now or soon occurring by the Avatar on the Physical plane. Esoteric Psychology II, p. 380
These three temples are respectively associated with the First, Second and Third Initiations. Information has been given to us that the Third Initiation of Transfiguration will occur for all of humanity in this Fifth Root race, Light of the Soul, p. 215
“This process requires also the aid of the Buddha and the inspiration of the Christ, and it is “occultly guarded” by the Avatar of the physical plane. In all the above information there is given a hint as to what will take place when human personalities are actively functioning and steadily awakening. The rapid coming of the Avatar Who will found the station of light and power upon the physical plane is dependent upon the rapid unfoldment and appearance of integrated personalities who love and think and seek to serve. There has here been given a new hint upon one of the more esoteric aspects of the work of the New Group of World Servers,” Esoteric Psychology II, p. 282
It is only the Heart that can see God in everything. It is only the Heart that confers straight knowledge.
We can understand that the recognition of the essential unity underlying all creation may be essential for many people to begin to become compassionate for those forms of life that they previously viewed as separate or different from themselves. We love and understand that which we identify with, hence the vital importance of Identification with the Whole in the new era which we have begun to enter. It is the energy of Synthesis which confers this recognition.
