“STRENGTHENING THE HANDS OF THE NEW GROUP OF WORLD SERVERS”
Meditation is the primary form of service for those following a spiritual path. It is a means of cooperation and alignment with hierarchical intent. The new moon period follows upon the cycle of outbreathing in the rhythmic cycles of the breath; it is a time of pause wherein together we can establish a soul-mind-brain alignment. During this period we work in thought to concretize the ideas and impressions received at the time of the full moon period and undertake the sometimes difficult process of translating them into practical plans that can be of service in the world. The effect of this meditative effort is to enhance the many ways in which the “power of the one Life” and the “love of the one soul” are working out through all true servers everywhere.

The Four Qualities which a group must develop in unison prior to Initiation
New Moon in October
The idea of groups and their formation is one of the predominant trends today, and a major characteristics of our times. Everywhere groups are emerging in response to every possible challenge and problem facing humanity. In this is much hope engendered. On the other hand, there are groups forming whose goals also appear to be destructive. The underlying duality of existence makes this situation perhaps inevitable.
Of particular interest are those groups that are comprised of those whose imagination is at least partly guided by the Ageless Wisdom teachings and whose foundation and inspiration derive from the teachings provided by “The Seven Laws of the Soul or Group Life” found in Esoteric Psychology, Vol. II and “The Fourteen Rules of Group Initiation” found in The Rays and the Initiations. These latter groups are seeking to respond to new energies that are becoming increasingly available.
We shall review the Four Qualities which these emerging groups must develop in unison in order successfully “To toil in Pisces, illumined by Taurus and respond in measure to the Aquarian influence or Energies”.
- How would you define or explain the idea of group consciousness to a new and enquiring student?
- How has your understanding of an esoteric group and group consciousness evolved through your reflections on esoteric work?
- Which of the four qualities of the emerging groups do you find of greatest interest and why?
