Description
Question 30-S3 - Is there another word besides "Hierarchy" which I can use which is more akin to its true nature?
A. I like the concept of "Source Organizational Alignment" or SOA. It means that the source of an organization is rightfully empowered to establish a vision for the group energy to achieve. All who invest their time and energy to the organization have a responsibility to align to this vision. SOA is an alternative definition of Hierarchy that suggests its true nature.
That said, however, the difficulty emerges as Hierarchies protect the vision of its source when three things occur:
- The source vision was time-bound for a period of one generation, and the organization outlasts the source vision.
- The source was not truly visionary or adept at forecasting human behavioral shifts based on environmental changes.
- Substantial threats or opportunities emerge that impinge on the vision and necessitate its modification.
Bear in mind that the Grand Universe, while being near infinite in its spatial dimension, is infinitesimally sparse in terms of humanoid populations.
Because of this condition, human populations learn how to interact across the spatial dimensions of space through the use of SIN [Sovereign Integral Network].
Trading is the most common reason that humanoid populations interact; the second most common is to form alliances of safety.
Trade Alliance Organizations (TAO)
These are the two, most sweeping forms of SOAs within the physical, Grand Universe. There are very sophisticated and far-reaching trading networks or what are sometimes called (this is a loose translation) Trade Alliance Organizations (TAO).
These particular examples of SOAs form the very basis of the Hierarchy as it extends into the life-bearing planets that have become activated on the Sovereign Integral Network.
There are also planets whose population has achieved a certain level of spiritual depth and awareness that causes them to abstain from the use of humanoid SOAs and participation within the TAOs. These are the most evolutionary advanced humanoid populations, and generally they prefer to remain outside of the conflicts that naturally arise from humanoid SOAs and TAOs. These populations invest their time and energy into manifesting a SOA of First Source and helping other planets in their evolutionary trajectory.
It is within these planets that Lyricus establishes an outpost. This outpost carries the seed vision of a SOA, but one that is aligned to the vision of First Source. Among these planets is a form of communication and organization, which could be referred to as a SOA or Hierarchy, but this is not the Hierarchy of which you have formed a mental picture.
Earth's SOA (Earth's Hierarchy of Teachers and Guides)
Question 31-S3 - Are you saying that it is not an SOA, which is "aligned to the vision of First Source"? Or are you saying that my mental picture is not accurate enough to realize the true nature of Earth's SOA which is indeed aligned with First Source?
A. Earth's SOA was established before the great flood by members of Lyricus that became known as the Elohim (the "gods") or Shining Ones. These beings established seven centers of learning upon Earth. These were instructional environments that accelerated the connection of the human instrument to the Wholeness Navigator, and enabled human initiates to ascend in consciousness such that it was possible to create the great philosophical systems that to some extent endure to this day.
The Hierarchy (as you define it) was the seed that was planted by the Lyricus team that worked with the human tribes of Earth. In the span of one thousand years the human mind evolved dramatically, and with it, technologies emerged that were amazingly sophisticated.
Most of these technologies were employed for the purpose of spiritual evolution of the species, however, as is always the case in a freewill universe, not all of the human tribes could resist the psychic and mental manipulations of political leaders who saw the conquest of land resources more desirable than the development of spiritually evolved societies.
The Hierarchy's SOA began to shift as a result with a higher priority placed on self-preservation. Its spiritual values and goals came under attack, and it was forced to recede underground. In part, because of this schism, the great flood exercised a new calculus on the human genome, and effectively began a new species.
The Hierarchy took this learning to heart, and patience became a more desirable expression of its macro-personality. Its teachers became more visionary about the long pathway that stood before humankind.
Teachings of Djwhal Khul (DK) and Alice A. Bailey
Alice A. Bailey was in telepathic communication with a Tibetan monk named Djwhal Khul (DK or the Tibetan) between the years 1919 and 1949. With AAB's help, the Tibetan master wrote eighteen books on spiritual psychology, cosmology, healing, astrology, and metaphysics in general.
Question 5-S3 - He [a critic] believes the entire thing is an elaborate hoax. He cannot accept the idea that a being can work on Earth within the spiritual Hierarchy, yet claim to come from another galaxy.
He pointed out that DK (Djwhal Khul) only taught an order of Lives within our own galaxy, implying that extra-galactic contact was way out of proportion to the chain of hierarchical contacts possible to Earth humans.
A. One of the interesting observations I have made about the human mind is how someone who is revered as an authority can unintentionally define the borders of belief so resolutely for their followers.
DK never reported that there was not an extension of the Hierarchy beyond the borders of the Milky Way galaxy, and that this grander order did not impact on, or influence, a local system. It may surprise you to learn that DK (during the time of his transmissions to AAB) was not aware of these extra-galactic contacts of the Lyricus and 7th universe central race other than by myth.
So, by his omission, it is assumed that he was of the opinion they did not exist. He simply didn't know about Lyricus because it was outside of his mission objectives.
His work required more focus, and when you open up this "can of worms" (Grand Multiverse Hierarchy) you need to assemble a team to disclose this information because it is too broad and deep for one personality to attempt to disclose (hence the nature of authorship of The Urantia Book).
If you review the diagram above, you will see a model of how the Grand Universe is structured.
The lowest "rung", or field of vibration, is the Grand Physical Universe, which contains the seven superuniverses. This model is impossible to depict with accuracy in terms of relationships. There is no way to express this relativity other than in abstract mathematics, and even then, it is not accurate.
Thus, the Grand Multiverse is inexpressible as an accurate model. It is, however, composed of eleven primary dimensions, though within each of these dimensions are inconceivable diversity and multiplicity.
Limitations of Metaphysical Writings
The object in the lower right-hand section of the diagram that bears a resemblance to an antenna represents the knowledge base of humanity in its current view of the Grand Multi-verse.
Lamentably, it is overstated because it is impossible for me to depict a thin enough line and still make it visible. Suffice to say that The Urantia Book comes closer to depicting the horizontal view of the Grand Physical Universe, and the AAB materials comes closer to depicting the vertical view of the multiverse. Nonetheless, you can see that the "antenna" is only scratching the surface of the Grand Multiverse.
How can one person depict this breadth and depth of the infinite and expanding multi-verse? They cannot, and if it is tried, they will do it a terrible injustice and their results will be misleading. Now, the universe and multiverse that DK depicted was contained well within the "antenna". It wasn't his objective to depict the grandest vision of the multiverse.
It was his interest to depict the local system's energy fields and its hierarchy, as he understood it.
Note: In order to maintain the continuity of the topical arrangement I have removed three paragraphs of Q and A 5-S3 and placed them within the "Lyricus Teaching Order" section, Question 6-S2.
But as I said before, DK was not aware of Lyricus at the time of his transmissions to AAB.
Yes, he knew that the Hierarchy extended beyond his (and the Great White Lodge's) mental construct, but he didn't know how far, or for what purpose. The discovery of the Grand Portal has never been disclosed in any of the materials of the earth-based religious quarter. Given that this is the singular focus of Lyricus and humanity, doesn't it strike you as peculiar?
This glaring omission from the religious quarter of humanity is a reflection of how the religions of Earth object to, and/or misunderstand, the advance of science and technology. For example, DK never transmitted science in the context of genetics, and yet, within Lyricus, this is the nucleus knowledge.
For DK, science was the consort of Antahkarana, triangles, or invocation (to name a few examples). It was not the science of the double helix. His conscious mind did not possess this vocabulary or knowledge, and therefore there was no way for him to speak directly to these topics.
Because the Sanskrit term "Antahkarana" has various meanings I have provided a link above. I would only add that in the teachings of DK, Antahkarana means the building of a bridge in consciousness between the everyday concrete thinking mind and the abstract spiritual mind. This building work is done through specific meditation practices.
Externalization of the Hierarchy and Soul Carrier DNA in the Superuniverse
Question 14-S3 - What is the progress of the externalization of the Hierarchy? Who and what Masters are working 'amongst Humanity' at this point?
A. The vision of the Hierarchy, as transmitted by Alice Bailey, was incomplete, as it did not include Lyricus and the Tribe of Light that encircles the Great Central Sun (to name two exclusions). This was an intentional oversight designed to simplify and localize the Hierarchical mission.
In terms of the externalization of the Hierarchy, it varies by planet/species. There are approximately 30 trillion potential life-bearing planets in superuniverse 7. Soul Carrier DNA is distributed on approximately .0015% of these planets, or about 4.5 billion planets. Can you imagine the scale of such an enterprise? Of these, the Hierarchy is externalized in a very small percentage - less than 1%, or about 40 million planets, comprising some 840,000 different species.
As you can see, externalization, from the view of the Hierarchy is a process that encompasses a much larger scale than terra-earth. As it pertains to your question, all earth-representatives from the White Lodge are working amongst humanity. I assume what you really mean is which known masters are physically incarnate at this time.
The externalization of the Hierarchy is a major factor in the AAB/DK teachings. To date, James never directly links the Lyricus/WingMakers materials with the externalization process described by Djwhal Khul. In fact, James never referred to this event as the "externalization of the Hierarchy" until asked by individuals oriented to the AAB/DK teachings.
However, there are hints within the material which indicate that the Lyricus mission iniitiated by James in the form of the WingMakers website (1998)and later by the Lyricus website (2004) do, in fact, represent the initial stage of the externalization of the Hierarchy. (In fact, DK wrote an entire book about it entitled, The Externalization of The Hierarchy.)
In WingMakers' Philosophy, Chamber Four Beliefs and Their Energy Systems, James appears to describe the "externalization" as the "Return of the Masters." As can be seen here, James freely discusses this topic as a natural extension of the work and mission of Lyricus to Earth. Also see the section, Christ's Return to Earth, Question 40-S3.
Number of Masters in the World
I am not at liberty to disclose this list. I will tell you that there are approximately 165 masters (6th initiates and above) who are physically present on terra-earth, and who operate as the vanguard of the spiritual corps, mostly through ashramic activities.
There are some masters who have ventured outside of the relative anonymity and protection of the ashram, but these number less than a dozen, and apart from one name, you would not recognize them in the literature of Alice Bailey or others associated with the White Lodge.
Intervention
Question 21-S3 - Are the Hierarchy concerned about the imminent use of nuclear weapons? Would they allow them to be used in some circumstances?
A. There is not a singular opinion on this matter inside the Hierarchy. Regardless of the intervention strategies of the Hierarchy, this universe is founded on the principle of freewill. Interventions are weighed very, very carefully - both in and out of time sequence, and are rarely exercised unless they significantly countermand a major objective of the Hierarchy like the discovery of the Grand Portal.
Avatar of Synthesis
The Avatar of Synthesis is instructed through Lyricus and, as you know, operates in conjunction and coordination with Christ. The Avatar of Synthesis is intimately involved in the Lyricus objectives, knowing that the Grand Portal and the return of Christ Consciousness galvanize and make durable the One Humanity and One World consciousness.
The fact that James specifically mentions the Avatar of Synthesis is significant because it indicates his detailed knowledge of a specific term originally published in the Alice A. Bailey books of esoteric philosophy.
The AAB works mention various orders of avatars. The term "avatar" is Sanskrit and generally means a messenger from a higher world who visits a "lower" world in order to give spiritual guidance. The Avatar of Synthesis is identified as a cosmic avatar and therefore comes from somewhere outside our solar system.
In 1941 the Tibetan teacher, who dictated most of the books written by Bailey, stated that all the teachers and workers of Earth's spiritual hierarchy were invoking the presence of this cosmic avatar in order to aid our planet during the great crisis of WWII. This avatar did come to our world and is now working closely with the same group of teachers that James refers to in his writings and also in his answers here. More information about this Avatar of Synthesis can be found on the Internet.
