Year 6.5 – Communion of Work. The Book of the System

At the beginning of this new year, as the axis of the solstices aligns with the galactic centre, the magic of Capricorn, the initiatory sign, is enhanced by the solar alignment with the bright red star Betelgeuse in the constellation of Orion, the great cosmic Christ who informs our local universe and speaks to us of Resurrection.

It is a light and a hope that blossoms in the wake of the centennial Conclave of the Hierarchy held in this year that is drawing to a close, in which the powerful impact of the First Ray energy (of the Will–Power of Shamballa) poured into the heart of Humanity and was welcomed, in particular, by the consciousnesses of those who, in watchful anticipation, work for the common Good.

Thus urged, the Disciples feel called to perform a courageous act: to look to the Centre where the Will of God is known, committing themselves to the conscious construction of that section of the antahkarana bridge that connects the New Group of World Servers, intermediaries between Humanity and the Hierarchy, to the Nirmanakayas, intermediaries between the latter and Shamballa.

Until now, in an attempt to imitate the Hierarchy, the Disciples of the world have mainly worked with the sevenfold model, a number that relates to the construction of form (the Stars of Life, the Lambdoma, the Plan). Now, however, understanding that they can and want to position themselves definitively on the soul level, where human and deva evolution (the Solar Angel) meet, they feel they must also begin to assert the number nine, the number of the spirit and the petals of the egoic lotus, which are synthesised in the three petals of the central lotus, vectors of the three fundamental energies (Will, Love and Light), at the centre of which is the “jewel of synthesis”, of a monadic nature, the anchor point of the power of Shamballa.

The nine of the egoic lotus reminds our consciousness of the nine Muses, exalted and co-creating devic Lives, together with the Second Logos and the planetary Gods/Logoi, as Handmaids of the Mother of the World, inspirers of Goodness, Beauty and Truth, and bearers of qualities and powers that have been widely established and celebrated on this blog over the course of the year just ended.

We therefore entrust ourselves to these divine powers to protect, inspire and sustain us along the path to the Summit, which is accomplished in the light of the stars.

At this point, having prepared the station for receiving the energy coming from the Shamballa Centre, we recognise that, inevitably, a fiery thread of that power is already beginning to descend into the consciousness of the Servers who, in response, can then think, going back up the same path, of setting up a human outpost in imitation of the spiritual Triad.

The year 2025 was therefore a watershed moment in the consciousness of the World Disciples and it is interesting to note, in relation to that thought-form we call “The Table of the Plan”, which is being constructed in 49 steps/years, that this year 6.5 inaugurates a ten-year cycle leading to the planned operational completion of this project, and 10 is precisely a number of perfection, recalling a cycle of the power of Shamballa.

Hence, a new stage in the work of building the Sanctuary of human Life is before us, and our joy grows and strengthens in the light of ever vaster, more glorious and renewing horizons.

The impact on the ordinary world of this injection of Will and Power, an energy that has long been stirring mainly in the most egocentric human minds, is now manifesting itself in an increasingly evident and deleterious way. We are witnessing the arrogance of rulers who have forgotten that politics is the art of the possible, of the pursuit of the greatest common good, of the sacrifice of the personal self; we see the emergence of extreme nationalism, the closing of borders, wars of conquest and bloody conflicts with no dignified way out, entrepreneurs accumulating enormous amounts of money, and therefore power, while part of the world lives in hardship or outright poverty, not to mention the arms race, the abnormal exploitation of natural resources, and the pollution of land, sea and air.

Furthermore, Artificial Intelligence, a glorious human achievement that could support profound changes that are still unthinkable today, currently brings with it widespread insecurity and confusion, as well as fears about future developments.
In particular, we are already seeing its effects, especially in the field of information, where it is increasingly difficult to discern truth from falsehood; in the management of personal data in the hands of a few multi-billionaires who control it; in the field of security and armaments, not only atomic weapons, but also small lethal “intelligent” devices, powerful aircraft, ships and land vehicles with decision-making capabilities; and in the labour market, where robotics is increasingly replacing manual workers.

It must be said, however, that all this, as a reaction, should stimulate consciousnesses to discernment, to a commitment to improving human relations in order to resolve conflicts, to replacing the logic of abuse with that of mediation, to increasing the level of education and to encouraging greater mental polarisation.

In short, at a superficial glance, at the end of this era everything seems to be falling apart, and so it is: the old world order is collapsing, but those who have eyes to see know that its debris is material for building future towers, whose height has already been designed by the Architect.

In fact, while we watch and listen to the din of what is collapsing, amplified and driven by the media, we see and hear with our own means (the eyes and ears of the heart) how great is the number of Men of Good Will and “everyday heroes” and how the seeds of the new world are beginning to grow: a more open consciousness, new ways of teaching and working, greater responsibility and lightness, a One Humanity in universal Communion.

*

With regard to the Table of the Plan that has been intuited for Humanity, the year that is beginning, the fifth of the sixth seven-year period dedicated to the New World Religion, is coloured by the relationship that occurs between the energies of the Sixth and Fifth Rays and its Goal, which must be understood by our consciousnesses and filled with meaning. It reads:

Communion of the Work. The Book of the System

Let us begin by examining the etymology of the words that make up this formula:

• Communion. From the Latin communio, commonality, participation, derived from the adjective communis, common. It is a term composed of the Latin preposition cum, together, and the adjective munis, “fulfilling one’s duty”, from the Indo-European root *MA-, which expresses the idea of measuring, distributing, exchanging. The term expresses the idea of energy exchange. (…). Communion means exchange in the unity of Being (see: “Communion”).

• Work (Lavoro in Italian). Labor derives from the Indo-European root *LABH-/*RABH-, which expresses the idea of grasping and turning one’s intention towards a goal: Sanskrit labhate, to take, to obtain; rabhas, violent movement of the soul or body; Greek lambano, to take; German arbeit, work, by transposition of the root from rab(h) to arbh; French labour, ploughing; English labour, hard work, labour pains. (…) To work means to strive with the utmost commitment to achieve a goal.

• System. From the Late Latin systema, which derives from the Greek systema, composed of the preposition syn, “with”, and the root of the verb istemi, “to stand”: “to stand together”. Indo-European root *STA-, which expresses the idea of being firm. System therefore indicates a firm composition of elements (see “Principles for the development of a system”).

Here is the graphic symbol that was intuited for this Goal:

Its seed reads:

“I read the eternal symbols.
Gradually, I penetrate their universal significance.
I begin to trace some other ones: minor, new, composite.
This is my project to communicate the truth.”

*

The following are excerpts from Goal 6.5:

The energy of the Sixth Ray tends by nature to move upwards and inwards. In fact it explores the meanings (inner) which lead to the Ideas. That of the Fifth Ray, on the contrary, tends to move outwards and downwards: it constructs the formal dualisms which manifest the Ideas.

Equilibrium is produced when the 5, having exhausted its constructive mission, starts to recall inwards what it manifested, as the 6, having penetrated to the inside, begins to diffuse the light it finds there… 

The relationship between the energies of the sixth and fifth Rays is marvellously effective. Instead of being unstable, it shows itself as pulsating between four directions of Space, or branches of the Cross. It is a creator of tenacity, resistance, renewal and victory. It transmutes form, which is a prison, into a luminous dwelling and instrument of revelation, capable of communicating the joy of being and multiplying it infinitely.

It is then understood that illusion is illusory. Man’s search is dedicated at the beginning to form, which is for a long time understood to be the only reality, then is recognized as illusion and is finally lived in its essence…  

… It is precisely the Vortex 6.5 which holds open the paths of transverse communion.

In the light projected by this Vortex, the System writes its Book, which records the most minute events and the highest thoughts, visions, and sacrifices. On its many pages, the lines of the Group’s mental designs and progression to the Goals are traced and changed.

The true reader reads it with closed eyes, without opening it. Yet the Book is real, and is constantly updated by vertex 6.5, which cares for every sign, shielding and interpreting it. He knows that each chapter is linked to all the others, even the most diverse ones, and that the Book can be read in various ways, having neither end nor beginning: each page is in fact both the beginning and the end, and can be read from bottom to top, diagonally, from top to bottom, from inside to outside.

It is like Nature. Everything that is a sign can and should be read as it changes, illuminating the other signs and all the pages. Thus reading, the text gradually becomes simpler, clearer and finally transparent, and the Book, pages and signs vanish.

 … The Vertex 6.5 must therefore learn to read and write, in this order. It is in fact right that the System, like any creature, first learns from the signs of others and only afterwards traces its own, for other readers.

*

The impulse of Goal 6.5, which is powerfully inaugurating the “Shamballa” decade, therefore shows us the way that leads to the completion of the work entrusted to us, and its title is unusual, since at first glance it appears to refer to two distinct objectives. The first statement responds precisely to the solicitations of the Six, Communion (which teaches us that in the Infinite all points are in mutual contact) and the Five, Work (the commitment of the Workers). The second seems to have been added later by the writer, moved by the hand of the Author, and only today do we understand that it could only be placed at this point in the cycle, because this is the right time to definitively detach ourselves, with lightness and simplicity, from the world of form and fix our gaze on the eternal source of the Will.

The Book of Life is written in the akasha by the supreme Author, through the infinite chain of lesser authors who are integral parts of His Being, and each of these continuously translates and retranslates, through their own experience, that Word which, like a song, reverberates incessantly throughout the Universe.

It can therefore be said that the great Author writes with many pens, strictly with invisible ink, and each aspiring author is one of these and will try to rewrite His Teachings to saturate a lower level of consciousness, thus becoming a teacher in turn.

When, at the end of this 49-year cycle, the Book of the System will be completed, its meaning will be understood and it will be released into Space with love and gratitude towards the Elder Brothers. The authors, like the great Builders of the Temple, turning their backs on their work, will once again gaze at the celestial spaces, empty of forms, where everything is One, to engrave in Space a new chapter of the never-ending story.

“In the Book of Life is contained the saturated stream of creative fire. Only upon the higher law can the page of Sublime Be-ness be affirmed. Valiantly must the spirit strive to the realization of all the subtle principles in order to attain higher knowledge. The Book of Life contains every aspiring action. The Book of Life contains the manifestation of all vital fires. The heart carries in itself all imprints of the Book of Life. The heart carries in itself the beauty of Be-ness and boundless cognition. Verily, the attainment of the heart affirms all possibilities. Verily, the attainment of the heart forges all the best steps.” (Agni Yoga Series, Infinity II § 507)

*

Finally, let us recall the affirmation that will innerly sustain the mind and heart of the planetary Disciple throughout the year we are inaugurating, the last of the “Group Impact Week”, and that will support it in its service:

I IRRADIATE THE HIERARCHICAL ORDER

This “Group Impact” takes place every seven years from 21 to 28 December, a period in which, according to the Tibetan Master, there is a powerful influx of spiritual energy. It was last celebrated by the Disciples of the World at the time of the Capricorn solstice in 2019, with a powerful global silence. This ritual act, in which many participated, gave an important impetus to the unity of Service in its various forms and degrees and to the consolidation in consciousness of the reality of the one planetary Server, intermediary between Humanity and the Hierarchy, who dares to aim at the point where Light, Love and Power are synthesised in the transcendent fire of the Centre where the Will of God is known.

Finally, let us remember that the hierarchical Order is the guarantee of universal unity: it is governed by Sound, which is Number and Relationship and ensures the Freedom of every creature.
It is generated by the sublime Will of the cosmic Magnet: Order is therefore the unifying Law of the heart.

“ (…) Hierarchy is not coercion, it is the law of the Universe. It is not a threat, but the call of the heart and a fiery admonition directing toward the General Good…” – (Introduction to the Book Hierarchy, Agni Yoga Series)

“The basis of being will be inscribed into the Book of Life, and when the consciousness will reach the level of realization of eternal unity, then will it be possible to tell humanity, “Construct your life upon the principle of unity…” (Infinity I § 69)

Let us then solemnly take this first and decisive step together, which – without motion – leads us steadily towards the summit of Shamballa, whose base rests on our common heart. We must arm ourselves with courage, ardent commitment, detachment and sacrifice, in the knowledge that a spark of the power of the great Lord is already lit within us, at the centre of every heart, to show us the way.
And so, united with the Hierarchy, let us affirm:

(…) The Ruler of Shambhala is the fiery Impeller of Life and of the Fire of the Mother of the World. His Breath is ablaze with flame and His Heart is aglow with the fire of the Silvery Lotus.

The Ruler of Shambhala lives and breathes in the Heart of the Sun. The Ruler of Shambhala is the Invoker and the Invoked. The Ruler of Shambhala is the Sender of the Arrow and the Receiver of all arrows. The Ruler of Shambhala breathes the Truth and affirms the Truth. The Ruler of Shambhala is invincible, turning destruction into construction. The Ruler of Shambhala is the Crest of the Banner and the Summit of Life. Accept the Ruler of Shambhala as the manifestation of life; thrice I say—of life! For Shambhala is the guaranty of human aspirations. Our manifestation is guaranty of the perfecting of humanity. Our manifestation is the affirmed path to the Infinite. (Hierarchy § 5)
