This year, 2026, we begin a new series of online meetings dedicated to the celebration and understanding of Beauty, drawing inspiration from one of the most beautiful Models of Harmony, the olympian Nine Muses of Greek Myth, whose esoteric essence is at the foundation of our Western Culture.
This inspiring Model of the Muses has been contemplated and asserted in the Great Year 2025 of the Conclave of the Masters, as these Great Goddesses/Devas of Beauty are here intended as part of our planetary Hierarchy, and now we want to elaborate and penetrate their Symbol and Divine Legend together.
We entitle this journey on the wings of Harmony: “The Academy of Muses“.

The Esoteric Teaching affirms that universal Unity and Brotherhood, primary Ideas of the Aquarian Age (and beyond), are realized through the understanding of Beauty, Harmony, that Art of living which is the destiny and responsibility of the human Soul, called to anchor Heaven on Earth, through the Fourth Egoic Ray of our Fourth human Hierarchy:
“Humanity has always loved Art, even in those recurrent periods, like the present, which no longer know what it is and do not produce it. When the Muses circulate among them, human beings perceive their superior energy and cultivate it; when they retreat to their Heavens, human beings feel bereft and bleak.
The Greeks, we know, recognized and named them. The Muses come and go, sing and dance and are living rhythms and all peoples honor them, as a scent and balm of existence. … Man cannot survive without Art, even though he has not yet fully understood its nature and Law. Indeed, how can the Infinite be exhausted? … Art is born in the heart and protects man from the disasters occasioned by his brain.
... One seeks it and sometimes finds it not only with the brush, or the compass, or the chisel, or the flute, but with every breath, because it is inseparable from life.
What the one wills and the 2 loves and the 3 plans is reflected by the 4, and it is Art. It is the Art of living, the highest art of all. Man is called to make a work of Art of his existence, in the broadest and most complete liberty.
… There will be a return to understanding that the ways of real pan-human communion spring forth from Art. Its light and smiling traces will bind peoples together, much better than other pseudo-visions which have cruelly separated them.
… The Light of Art is the clearest. Nothing reveals the imperfect, the incorrect, the weak, the inexact and the false better. … Art is therefore the great hope for the harmonious union of the human race and between this and the other kingdoms of nature. What was never achieved with weapons, the goal not reached by fighting religions, the missed objective of all kinds of ideologies, will be reached by Art and secret Muses who inhabit the spaces and treasure their immensity …”. (From Asserting the Planetary Plan, Goal 6.4)
“The Muses have a very high, indeed unique, place in the divine hierarchy. They are called daughters of Zeus, born of Mnemosyne, the Goddess of memory; but this is not all, for they, and they alone, bear, like the father of the Gods himself, the appellation of Olympians, an appellation by which men used to honour the Gods in general, but – at least originally – no God in particular, with the exception of Zeus and the Muses.”[1]

“The voice of the divine maidens does not merely celebrate what has been created, but orders it and, in ordering it, adorns it: it endows it with meaning and beauty. The word is not a supplement that is added to what exists, but a power that fulfils the world and makes it be in all its splendour. By pronouncing and singing the things that inhabit the universe, the voice of the Muses gives them substance and value. … Therefore he who knows the sound-word of each thing and knows how to understand its music also possesses the fundamental knowledge to act upon reality and to modify it: the knowledge of the word is the secret power of a sound that becomes action, moving and transforming, at will, every existing datum. The very body of the gods is interwoven with meters and songs. It follows that he who has perfect mastery of that sound wisdom can, in turn, ascend to heaven: with the right rhythm and the right song, one can transform one’s transient nature and become immortal.” [2]
Esoterically, invoking the Muse is listening or remembering the Voice of Spirit, mastering “the latent force in sound, speech and music”; this is how Language is defined, the fourth force/shakti of Nature, the Mātṛkāśakti or Mantrikashakti, the very nature, energy and dignity of the Fourth Human Hierarchy: ourselves in essence, Solar Angels or Sons of Mind, winged Messengers between the worlds of spirit and matter (Mercury, the Messenger of the Gods, is the Regent of the 4th Hierarchy and the 4th Ray of Harmony). We, human Monads, Spiritual Souls called to create the Good, the Beautiful and the True out of Love (Buddhi-Manas).
The Nine Muses, hierarchical and devic Powers who, as the crown of the God of Love, Zeus-Jupiter (the divine Second Ray of our solar system), and guided at the center by Sun-Apollo, make Creation perfect through Their songs and dances, thus teaching the saving Art to the Heroes among human beings, to the disciples of the Art of living according to the hierarchical Principle of Good, Beauty and Truth.
