From Chaos to Beauty2
From Chaos to Beauty
Christine Aagaard
There is no doubt that the current times are difficult, our way of life is being challenged through wars, through drought, fires, the constant threat of new viruses, increasing levels of inequality, fuel and food shortages and the resultant problem of civil unrest. It is becoming increasingly apparent that the current methods of organising resources that rely on maximising profit, on pitting firm against firm, or nation against nation, are no longer working. There is after all only one planet, a fixed resource which provides the basis for the survival of all the kingdoms in nature. Within humanity, if one nation wins economically it will be at the mercy of other nations. The unparalleled wealth accumulation of some means the loss of the means of living for others. If one kingdom in nature dominates and ravages another, as the human kingdom is doing to the vegetable through massive deforestation for example, then the animal kingdom become the direct losers.
Of course, we know that the planet is a place of abundance and that there is more than enough for all its inhabitants if resources are shared and sustained. It seems that the current economic models are no longer fit for purpose and the chaos that is ensuing is contributing to the break-down of the ways of living that are no longer sustainable. The materialistic, selfish, individualistic path is having to give way to a new way of living based on cooperation, sharing and sustainability. Growth through selfish domination will have to give way to growth through sharing. The way of achieving it however, is not yet fully clear and the process of conversion is, as we are experiencing, slow and painful.
We are in a state of dissonance, of confusion and uncertainty, the mental and emotional planes are engulfed within a bewildering mass of heavy, murky, dull and chaotic colours that hinder and conceal. It is within this murk that we have to work, seeking continually to raise ourselves above it to see as the soul sees, but often finding that the suffering, fear and pain of such uncertainty drags us down, the worries for others busy the mind making it difficult to maintain clarity of thinking. But it is essential that we do strive for clarity of thought, that we do not get caught up in the glamour and many illusory ideas and thinking that seek to divert. There are strong and established forces that work ceaselessly to obscure as the recent case against Alex Jones highlights.
The human race creates the reality or illusion that we labour within and this acts as a veil that separates us from the truth that is one of order, beauty and radiance. As we work to raise our consciousness to the soul, to the truth, and redeem our bodies of expression through purified living, so we touch and channel the finer more translucent colours of the soul that then radiate out into the environment through us penetrating the chaos and bringing an element of ordered beauty. We become much like a lens where these higher, finer colours can penetrate the murk and as part of the much larger lens of the new group of world servers, we project ordered light on the swirling, chaotic colours that have been created by misguided human thinking down the ages.
Contact with these living radiant hues that exist on soul levels lead us eventually to the ray Ashram to which it is our destiny to serve. It is as we redeem our personal nature, transforming our vices into virtues, that the colours we radiate change to reflect increasingly the radiant hues of the egoic lotus, colours that barely resemble the colours we know so well on material levels. Each Ashram has a base colour that radiates in seven streams of related hue that through recognition and eventual identification we learn to work with in service. Like each Master at the centre of an Ashram the Christ stands much like a sun at the centre of the Hierarchy, wielding the colours that stimulate the qualities within the new group that are needed to bring about the changes necessary to usher in the new age and bring order out of chaos. It is these colours that attract the needed substance to create the forms for the New Age.
The seventh ray, the violet ray, has been cycling into manifestation over the past few hundred years to help with this process. It expresses the power to organise, the ability to integrate and to bring into synthetic relation the great pairs of opposites, and thus produce the new forms and new colours of spiritual manifestation. The first ray of destruction works with facility through the seventh ray and the crisis and chaos that it brings are a necessary part of the path to reconstruction. As we are finding, the results of the impact of Shamballa energy upon first ray individuals and nations are potent in the extreme. Governments and their leaders throughout the world are clearly responding to this energy, although each in their own way and from their point of evolutionary development. It is a power that is wielded often unconsciously but generally with a sense of destiny and of course, within the confines of party and national groups. There are mistakes in techniques being made and often the law of love is infringed but it is evoking in the world the political and organisational changes which while disturbing and unsettling are preparing the way for the constructive work much needed that will bring the higher colours into play.
The current dissonance and discord, the clashing of the colours is because of the fight between humanity’s higher and lower self. The constructive process brings a blending of the primary colour of the Higher Self with the secondary hue of the Lower Self until beauty is achieved. It takes time but there are enough disciples within the world to hold the vision so that harmony of colour and tone will eventually be produced. It is a vision that is gaining clarity through the work of the new group of world servers who are making much progress in bringing about awareness of the unity of life, the importance of brotherhood and cooperation between peoples and nations. Ideas that have a clarity and beauty of colour that can penetrate the murk and touch the minds of humanity illuminating the path to a better way of living and being. This will however, take the power of the Will in its constructive form to come about. A quality of the Will that is being stimulated through the presence of the Christ, the Sun, Who stands at the centre of the five-pointed star of the new group of world servers. Last time He was present on earth He overshadowed an individual, Jesus. Today He overshadows the new group and acts as the great lens through which the needed energies, particularly the 7th, in all its varying hues, can penetrate. The five-pointed star imbued with the ordered beauty of the higher colours will thus stimulate the ideas and the Will within people to shift from a world where growth comes from domination and competition, to growth as a result of sharing.
War is a consequence of domination and competition between peoples and nations and will sadly continue on mental, emotional and physical levels for some time. However, as the current forms are gradually dismantled and as the widespread recognition of the unity of life within the human family becomes more established, as the beauty of right human relations flourishes that much sought-after peace, to which we all strive, will eventually prevail.
