In the midst of the bustle, the turmoil and the apparent meaninglessness of much of modern life, there can be nothing more important, uplifting and healing, than to communicate the fact that behind it all stands a planetary heart centre, the Spiritual Hierarchy, ruled by the Energy of Love. And not only that, but for each of us an aspect of our true Self resides there and reflects upon its Plan and great intentions — its wisdom and high service accessible to us when we are no longer bound by identification with the personality.

For those whose hearts and minds are awake to its subtle call, the dynamic tension and unconditional Love which characterises this planetary centre reveals a Heart which pulsates with the power of perceived purpose. Spinoza, the eminent 17th Century Dutch philosopher, realised that our attitude towards reality is proportionate to our sense of what is true and important. Through the immense pressures and crises at this time of transition, it seems that a sense of what is real and of value is being re-examined by humanity as a whole. A steady reorientation is emerging characterised by an aspiration for simpler, truer ways of living and a deepening awareness of what it is to love.

Love is the attractive-magnetic force of our system but its expression takes many forms and moves through various grades and stages from simple attraction, to instinctive love, to love of others and of humanity, to a high expression of reasoning love until we achieve enlightenment and can move through the heart to become Love itself. The very word “hierarchy” conveys the idea of ordered evolving progression as well as the more conventional sense of ranking, of people or things, from lowest to highest and at times a negative connotation of an enforced authority. However, the planetary centre of the Spiritual Hierarchy, as a kingdom in nature, reflects the word’s original etymology of a “ranked division of angels” and corroborates our understanding of its role as spiritual or sacred Teachers of humanity. Love never imposes on free will, it transforms from within and it has no need to impose or restrict.

The ability to express this highest nature of love marks a watershed in consciousness which in turn reveals a natural hierarchy – a hierarchy which eternally honours the equality of divinity within each person and which lies expressed, or as yet unexpressed, in varying degrees. Those who form this planetary centre under Christ’s jurisdiction, hold the solution to the problems of our complex modern world, having freed themselves from the struggles in the realm of glamour and illusion. Their clear, intuitive Plan of Love, free of doctrine, is accessible to all and will free us from the errors and hatreds of the past. In this liberation, all triangles workers play their part as they breathe in the needed spiritual forces and release them into human consciousness.
