The Cycles of the New Group of World Servers

Today, in a day dedicated to the Service of Humanity (Gemini full moon) but also to the theme of Cycles*, let us consider the rhythmic periodicity indicated by the esoteric Tradition to the New Group of World Servers, namely all those alike who, animated by the will-to-good, may serve both human and planetary evolution. This subjective or inner Group is, by origin, a realization of the planetary Hierarchy, that is, a ‘thought-form’ or ideation willed into being by those Great Ones, once men in their turn, who from the inner planes observe and guide with Wisdom the Planet, between evolutionary necessities and free human will, in order to carry out the Plan of Love and Light on Earth.

The current phase of the evolutionary Plan was “tentatively formulated in 1900, at one of the great quarterly meetings of the Hierarchy”, and “in 1925, at the next great meeting for cooperation, the new Plan was discussed in greater detail, certain necessary changes (growing out of the results of the World War) were negotiated, and the members of that important Council determined two things:

First, that there should be a united effort by the collective members of the planetary Hierarchy, over a period of several years (that is until 1950), to bring about certain definite results, and that during that time the attention of the Great Ones should be turned towards a definite attempt to expand the consciousness of humanity and to institute a sort of forcing process, so that men’s horizon of thought would be tremendously enlarged, and their faith, assurance and knowledge be equally increased and strengthened. It was decided that certain areas of doubt should be cleared up.

Secondly, it was determined to link more closely and subjectively the senior disciples, aspirants and workers in the world. To this end, all the Masters put Their personal groups of disciples in touch with each other, subjectively, intuitively, and sometimes telepathically. Thus the New Group of World Servers came into being.

Instead, therefore, of seven groups of workers in the world, all engrossed with activities along the seven major lines of force—their place in the scheme determined by their ray—the Masters, Their disciples and the probationers grouped themselves into three main divisions, so that the political, the religious, and the educational departments of human evolution might be adequately served.

At the same time They organised the intermediate group of World Servers, who could act as liaison of officers, interpreters, and intermediaries between the inner active Hierarchy and the thinkers of the world, and also serve as agents in every country and in every group. Thus all groups which were animated by any desire to serve, and which were (in spite of errors in technique and method) of any usefulness in aiding their fellow men, were swept into a current of spiritual stimulation with the intent to increase their effectiveness. Groups that were crystallised and sectarian as a whole would fail to respond, but in all of them, even the most dead, there were found a few who were responsive to the new impulse.

The institution of this new Plan automatically brought about an augmented training of those men and women who showed signs of being responsive to subjective influences and to the intuition. It was found wise to bring about a forcing process, in order to make mankind more sensitive and to develop certain latent but hidden powers, and also to attempt to bring the more advanced types of men up to a standard of sensitivity and to a spiritual receptivity which had been hitherto the prerogative of the few mystics and intuitives…”. (A. A. Bailey, Esoteric Psychology I, Lucis Collection, p. 170-2)

TPS’s Workshop of Thought is certainly at the service of this “current of spiritual stimulation” to “increase the efficiency” of the sensitive and receptive thinkers, men and women of good will, so that a solar New Culture and Civilization can be established, in due course and according to the needed periodic cycles.

Here then are the collected indications on the 3, 7 and 9 year cycles, prepared to serve knowingly the unfolding of the hierarchical Plan:

NGWS-cycles **

A brief commentary is that the three-year cycle is the basic creative rhythm of the evolution of consciousness composed of 3 impulses defined as Crisis, Tension, Emergence: “all creative processes proceed with a cyclic rhythm. The rhythm set by the New Group of World Servers is a three year cycle” to lay the “plans for the future” and work “with the law and along the lines of least resistance”.

To confirm this, in the heliocentric Cycles this rhythm corresponds to the 4 main phases of the revolution of Jupiter around the Sun, of 12 terrestrial years: Jupiter, the second Ray of Love-Wisdom, guides the expansion of consciousness, and the three-year rhythm is the quadrature of Its circle to realize this solar expansion: “… Joy in Service can be experienced only through an expanded consciousness. It must be remembered that each three-year period represents a step of consciousness; in the same way each seven-year period represents a renewal of the centers. Learn to understand that the dates of the consciousness are not repeatable and therefore are not to be allowed to escape … “(Agni Yoga Series, Community § 79)

The seven-year cycle of restoration and renewal is instead linked to Uranus, the 7th Ray Lord of rhythmic and ritualistic Order, transiting exactly seven Earth years in each of the 12 zodiacal signs, for a total of 84 years of Its heliocentric Year. Uranus, the divine Consort of Gaia the Earth, brings the processes to completion, and closes them to open new cycles: he counts, puts in order and makes all things new according to the Septenary Rule.

The seven-year cycle is connected, in the document, to the celestial energies which are transmitted in a particular way by this Solar Initiator: Capricorn, the Gate of the Gods and of Transfiguration (3rd initiation), the zodiacal Sign with the highest transmission of the seventh Ray for this precessional cycle, and the Antenna of the supernal constellation of the Dragon, the Seventh Constellation and cosmic Source, for our solar system, of Buddhi’s Electric Fire. Buddhi is Love-Wisdom, the universal Motive (and intensified in the current solar system), that ‘Christ principle’ or vital latent power in the heart of every atom that impels to evolve its consciousness, from atomic to universal.

The Dragon guards the Supernal Light of the Summit: It is the astronomical seat of the North Pole of the Ecliptic and of the Sun and from this lantern of the Cosmic Temple It transmits “the love that moves the sun and the other stars” (Buddhi) – through the altar of the Pleiades, our original matrix. Uranus is the Officiant of the vital Rite of cosmic Love.

The New Group of World Servers can learn to use the magical unscrambling and reorganizing potency of Its seven-year cycle to renew the centers or inner powers, not only during the ‘solstice’ week as indicated by the Teaching (week of group impact, which increases the “propensity to good will”), but also at the entrance of Uranus in each of the 12 Signs or petals of the solar Heart (see), or on the occasion of Its direct alignments with Jupiter (7 years between one of Their conjunction and later opposition) cause of beneficial fulfillment.

In particular, also the cycle of Saturn (3rd Ray, the Solar Architect and Planner) of 28-30 years presents 4 seven-year phases as a quadrature of Its orbital circle or ‘translation of ideas into forms’, that is, to precipitate the solar Plan in Planetary Projects; the Year of Uranus contains roughly 3 Years of Saturn (84 = 28×3) and the interval of 21 years (3×7: 777) or quarters of the cycle of Uranus (21×4) is a symbol and cause of rhythmic perfection (see), marking, among other things, the main seasons of a human incarnation.

To conclude, considering the cycle of 9 or a triad of triennial cycles, “a part of God’s vision, and His formulation of that vision for the immediate present, is revealed for the next nine year cycle.” (see attached pdf)

In support of this, at the heliocentric level is the Saturn-Neptune Cycle (3rd and 6th Rays), the one that deals with the vision of the Plan with consequent creation of new values ​​and communities, to present Its quadrature of the circle or “phases of realization” every 9 years, for a total of 36 years between one conjunction and the next one.

At the geocentric level, even the cycle of lunar nodes (of 18 years, or inverted every 9 years), which relates man/Earth to its bodies of expression/Moon, indicates propitious forces and times to synthesize the vision of the future and legacy of the past in the immediate present.

*

In sum, the New Group of World Servers must progressively learn the highest Science of Cycles if we want to contribute to building, consciously and at a united breath and unified rhythm with the solar Scores, a new Culture and Civilization, so that the hierarchical Plan can be restored as soon as possible on Earth.

* In reference to the Solar Rituality of TPS, the ‘working direction’ of the Cycles (whose knowledge is necessary for the Ordering of a new Human Culture and Civilization) is celebrated on the occasion of the heliocentric conjunctions between Mercury and Uranus, the Masters of the heavenly Music.

Accordingly, in these solar alignments, in the common space of human Thought, indications are given about the circular or periodic reality of the celestial and evolutionary Rhythms, to which humanity must strive to adhere to and resound to in order to restore the Order of the Good, the Beautiful and the True on Earth.
