The Work of the New Centers : 3

Part 3

Event:

The Inner Group aligns with the energy of Purpose in a way that identification with Purpose is the result. The state of consciousness experienced is described by the words: Purpose itself I Am.

Dialogue:

The following question is asked to the Inner Group:

How do we approach the financial aspects of the outer group’s life?

From several foci of consciousness the following thoughts are shared:

1. Substance is the Plan itself. That is, Substance at every level of the atmic, buddhi, mental, astral and physical planes is, at all times, imbued with the consciousness of the Plan. The task of the senior members of the Ashrams and of certain groups of Devas of the Third Creative Hierarchy is to ideate and infuse into Substance those states of consciousness that, in their integrated relation, constitute the Plan for a planetary cycle, either major or minor. This infusion of Substance with the Plan is the moving power of the evolutionary process and of the expansions of consciousness for all the kingdoms of Nature and their units.

Thus, the Plan is always at work in the world of human living, but there is an unknown factor in it: the free will of human beings. With the exercise of their free will, human beings either speed up or delay the actual process by means of which a state of consciousness informing Substance is translated into mental, astral and physical form expressions.

For example, when you as an advanced group Disciple work to understand the central seed of a service initiative and then focus on designing and planning its physical aspects for it to manifest, you are working with Substance already infused with the Plan and you are infusing additional information into it — you are infusing that level of in-form-ation which has to do with form manifestation and form functioning. By doing your part, you are thus speeding up the actualization of the Plan on the levels of the four kingdoms of Nature.

Another example would be a business entrepreneur who, moved by a self-centered desire to make money, creates services and products that may help others to be more effective in their own business enterprises. This entrepreneur is also helping actualize the Plan by helping others become more efficient; in this way, through their business relation, both the entrepreneur and the others who use his or her services slowly learn, mostly unconsciously, the goodness and expansion of consciousness that takes place by working together. However, the self-centered desire of the entrepreneur is automatically impressed or “informed” into all the aspects of the business. This runs contrary to the Plan, arresting in great part the expression of the full potency of what could take place were the entrepreneur to infuse, instead, selflessness as the qualifying state of consciousness of the business.

With this second example you can see that in many cases human beings unknowingly help the Planetary Plan move forward, although slower than what it could. Of course, there are also many instances in which human beings use their creative power on ways that completely oppose the Plan. As you may remember, the Plan also contemplates that humanity learns to consciously offset Time and to move quickly along its Path of planetary, solar and cosmic development. It is on these two goals of the Plan that the educational work of the Ashrams focuses to elicit the conscious collaboration of humanity with the Plan.

The gain for groups of Disciples, on the physical plane, who are willing to work with the Plan is that they willfully and consciously place themselves in the stream and structure of the Planetary Economy conceived by the Logos. The gain of self-centered business individuals or groups is to place themselves in the stream and structure of the human economy. However, there is a point here that is very important for Disciples to take into account as they plan and live on the physical plane: these two economies are not separate at all. Unbeknownst to human beings, the one Planetary Economy includes in all respects the human economy. To understand this, you need to remember that both economies are just a series of means or processes to move from purpose to manifestation. Let’s continue with a further instruction and then you will understand the importance of this fact.

2. Purpose is the energy that actualizes “informed Substance” so that manifestation occurs. In a real sense, Purpose is the command that tells informed Substance: “Manifest here, at this time, and now, at this place or sphere, the information (that is, the intelligent design and the quality) given to you.”

As you need to get used to the idea that all Substance is already informed with the Plan and that there is only one Economy (the Logoic Economy) at work at diverse levels, so too you need to get used to the idea that there is only one Purpose (the Logoic Purpose) at work at all levels of the planetary sphere. Those expressions such as… instinct, desire, aspiration, intention, sacrificial will, will power, life, and dynamic energy… all of them are but aspects or appearances of the one Purpose emanating from the Logos. It does not matter if it is an animal acting with instinct, or a human being acting on desire, or a mystic acting on aspiration, or a Disciple acting on self-sacrifice, or a Master of the Wisdom acting on the Will-infused Plan… all of these are but implementations of the Logoic Purpose through astral, mental, intuitional and atmic states of consciousness, respectively. This is a very important realization for all Disciples because it reveals, among other things, their connection with the Logoic Purpose and the way to align and, eventually, to identify with it — the way for one to align, first, and to identify, later, with the Logoic Purpose in a purer form is then through the will to sacrifice one’s exercise of the personal will in the cause of the Plan, which is the foremost direct expression of the Purpose.

3. Vitality in any of its forms, either organic or energetic or financial, is the result of infusing the energy of Purpose into informed Substance. That is, Vitality is nothing more than an effect resulting from the right relation between an informed Substance and an infusion of the energy of Purpose that started the process of informing Substance with an intelligent design and a quality.

For those who can see the etheric body of any form, Vitality shows as integrity in the etheric pattern of the form, and as a smooth, harmonious and pulsating flow and circulation of energy through it. For those who are as yet unable to see etherically, Vitality shows, first, as form manifestation and, subsequently, as form functioning, growth, progress and/or wealth (according to the type of form). All these are expressions of Vitality.

The important thing here is that, wherever and whenever there is a vital expression, we are seeing the result of an intelligent design and a quality (or state of consciousness) that have been impressed upon Substance and actualized by the energy of the purpose that gave origin to this intelligence and quality.

The entire process could be represented in this way:

In this illustration "the Creative Process" is represented by the centrifugal arrows, while "the Vitalization step" is represented by the centripetal arrows.

4. Essentially, we are describing, with these ideas, the Law of Manifestation as it operates at all levels in our Solar System. The entire Planetary Economy and all its subsets, such as the human economy, the economy of the natural world, the economy of the interior of the planet, etc., work with this Law of Manifestation to give to Purpose an intelligence, a quality and, eventually, a form expression.

Remember what was said earlier: The one Planetary Economy includes in all respects the human economy. Therefore, the practical application of all these ideas in your life as a Disciple and as co-creator with the Plan is that the connection between the Planetary Economy, as it emanates from the Logos, and the human economy, as the Plan moves it to be organized by human minds, is found in that both work under this same Law of Manifestation and that both are using the same Plan-informed Substance and the same energy of Purpose to manifest vital processes and vital forms. Ponder carefully on this. Endeavor to assimilate these ideas thoroughly because the reality that they open up for you is your divine inheritance and the answer to the question that you posed for this communion.

You, as a Disciple, need to erase from your mind and feelings the false impression that there is a separation between both economies. This illusion makes you believe that there is a “land of transition” that you need to cross to be able to work with the abundance of the Planetary Economy. By believing this, you interpose the existence of this “land of transition” between the affairs of your personal lives and the affairs of your Discipleship to the point that you see and use your personal finances totally separated from the finances of the Logos. As long as you continue believing in this illusion, you will continue experiencing lack of all types — lack of will power, inspiration, knowledge, creativity, magnetism, and financial and physical resources. You know well that it is in this illusory “land of transition” that many aspirants and Disciples find themselves today unable to manifest the desire of their hearts.

Dwell no more on separation. Instead, focus your attention and life energy on using, on the physical plane, the Law of Manifestation with a greater identification with the One Life and Its Planetary Purpose. Through these communions, and through transmissions via other groups, we have given you enough for you to start intelligent experiments with the Law of Manifestation. But do not use this Law with the blindness that most human beings use it. Instead, be the Son of God reclaiming Its inheritance: Its oneness with the Source of All and Its creatorship power.

Remember, you do not need to focus your attention on the elimination of lack or on the pursuit of monetary resources as the means to achieve your objectives. You have been using your creatorship power and the Law of Manifestation continuously to create lack and want, and you will create more of that if you keep focusing on these two pursuits. Instead, focus your attention on using the Law of Manifestation with a greater state of consciousness and a greater identification.

To help you clarify the difference in using the Law of Manifestation as a “blind” human being or as Son of God, let’s compare the successful entrepreneur of today, who works hard to make money, with the fourth-degree Initiate, who is living on the physical plane attracting and manifesting resources to energize an aspect of the Plan. They are both using the same Law of Manifestation, the same Plan-informed Substance and the same energy of Purpose to accomplish what is in their minds; and they are, as well, free from lack regarding their particular physical plane life-styles. Regarding the economic aspects of their lives, these are the similarities. What would then be their differences?

Let’s tabulate them:

Let’s now tabulate their approaches to the creative process:

Let’s now tabulate their attitude towards their financial resources:

As you can see through the above comparison, regarding their foothold on the physical plane existence, there is one fundamental distinction between the successful entrepreneur of today and a fourth-degree Initiate:

The entrepreneur uses the economic system.

The Initiate is at-one with the Economic System.

Ponder on this… the key to Abundance.
