The Mantram of Unification.- From the A A .B.Teachings

The Mantram of Unification





                                                                       




The sons of men are one and I am one with them.

I seek to love, not hate;
I seek to serve and not exact due service;
I seek to heal, not hurt.

Let pain bring due reward of light and love.
Let the soul control the outer form, and life and all events
And bring to light the love that underlies the happenings of the time.

Let vision come and insight.
Let the future stand revealed.
Let inner union demonstrate and outer cleavages be gone.
Let love prevail. Let all men love.


The Mantram of Unification declares two realities. First, that the user is one with all humanity and second, that humanity as a whole responds to the divine Plan. Five aspects of this Plan are dealt with:

The reward of human suffering.
The control of human life by the soul.
Precipitation of the vision, revealing the future.
The demonstration of the inner unity of all humanity.
Humanity dominated by love.
Here we have a marvelous summation of the divine Plan for man. To whatever extent we, as individuals, understand it and live by it, we aid the whole of humanity. It brings meaning and purpose to our lives.

This mantram is a source of strength for all disciples active in spiritual work.

A Child of the Universe. - Mike Hughes

A Child of the Universe - By- Mike j Hughes
Tuesday, January 14, 2014






Think Before You Speak.

Humanity today is experiencing the ''wilderness'' phase''. If we do not learn to trust , lay down weapons , share the world's resources with ALL Human beings on this man-bearing planet of plenty,- and further more,- let not our political and national racial pride get in the way ,- Then, we have a Great World Civilization based on right human relationships.
A new event is on the horizon friends. Humanity is coming of age , and must put it's war toys back to the ''Romper Room'' toy box and learn to work with each other that is practical healthy, thought-provoking , and fair to all.
If we rid ourselves of fanatical and intolerable ideologies ,- then all have a chance to take that one more step into their relationship with the God within , to draw ever near that innermost Sanctuary in the Hearts and Minds of the entire human family . The physical body is the outer shell upon the physical planes . We are not our body , nor are we our feelings , emotions , nor are we our thoughts we entertain day after day.
The real Higher Self , the Human Soul , is the true immortal Christ Principle , - a Divine Unit , a spark of Cosmic Fire.
Make it a habit of sounding the affirmations , chant , and the Sacred Word OM. These done daily will help and aid you in ''Rising Upon the Planes''


Now We are about to step through the ''Doors'' that will lead one through,- and , into the presence of Titans .
Religious s wars have always been the oldest of human vice, and through rigorous, training , contemplation, and a heart felt loving compassion to unite both the 'head' and 'heart' centers through deep meditation
doing their part to precipitate man's highest aspiration, and to anchor them here on Earth.
It is the ''inner Divinity'',- or God within oneself, that must be allowed to manifest through our humanity. It is from within oneself where The Kingdom of God must one day flower forth with amazing and Divine Beauty such as never seen before.
It is from deep within each and every human being where the ''Divine Lotus'' slowly unfolds one petal at a time ,.. revealing the ''Inner Diamond''- of Light'' . As we begin to decentralize ourselves from the earthly ego, and really listen to the ''voice of the silence'', then pleasing results will follow and precipitate as tools for the helping of ALL Humanity .
Indeed knowledge is power. This is why some of the greatest mysteries of life must remain occult, –,or esoteric.
There are many careless and deeply evil Human beings, who would use esoteric learning for very selfish reasons and would bring danger upon themselves , their surrounding fellow human beings, and their environment.
Only those who have developed a fair measure of soul contact , and who are serving their fellow man with self-less love and wisdom can be trusted with real occult insight as to the working out of "The Plan" as it issues forth from that Great Center where the "will of God is known", ;- Shamballa,- where the "Lord of the World" – Sanat Kumara has His dwelling on the highest of the etheric planes .
Some day , when man has developed etheric vision, this Divine center will be known and acknowledged .
Stay in tune with your highest and most unselfish aspirations , and you will surely enter through the "Gates of Initiation"
The World Teacher – Maitreya has said –
"Take your Brothers need as the measure of your action , and solve the problems of the world''

Humanity Will Evolve Beyond War. By;- Mike j Hughes


To all good people who suffer upon this man-bearing planet.  I write to all who are members of the ''New Group of World Servers.''.
If you are a man or woman  in whom the fires of compassion burn brightly enough to make even a small impact  upon those  within your ''sphere of Influence'' ,  if you are ready to tread ''The Path''  to see a better world for ALL,- then YES  my Friends  - you are a members of this inner group.

With the dawn of Social Media and mass communication ,- many countless millions are waking up.!!, and as a result ,-.....Dictators are being ousted from power , and  great fear of those they dominated for so long .
Now these Tyrants Rule no more!!.

It is heartbreaking indeed to learn of the real facts , and the mental agony to know We human beings are capable of such horror ,.... stuff nightmares are made of .
We,   as one race ,-are brothers and sisters of one family  ''Global Community''  . Let us be as one in the  basic sharing ,, Love , Brotherhood ,  and the raising of Human Consciousness   to levels that are far  beyond war , greed , egomania , cruelty , commercialization  ,  the ugliness and poison  that saturates one's astral body , and  Lower Manas- { concrete mind } during one's incarnations.
It is this scattering of  threads of selfish desire which the ''lower mind'' and Ego get to be , in some cases ,- earthbound.
It is this ''Kama-Rupa'' plane that is known by many names.  On this plane we go through the ''death-struggle'' where the  the separation of all selfless  virtues ,  from the lower husk of physical  , emotional-astral , and  of the carnal mind.   It is this only that remains behind , and is ''purged'',            { hence this being called Purgatory } , This freeing One Self  from the  thick physical , astral , and mental garbage of the once personality is rightly called the ''Death Struggle'', - as well as the misunderstood  ''Second Death''. Then the Soul , only takes the ''gold' and noble virtues'' with it into Devachan , or Heaven ,Summer Land , by many other names.

I know it is hard to wrap One's mind in order to understand these  Esoteric Teachings. Millions now are at the very threshold  of the First Initiation..
It feels great to know this . All great virtues of Love and self-sacrificing Souls  coming into incarnation . They too have a big role to play, along with  us.
We must educate and train them for future Esoteric work that lies in the  future. of Human Evolution.

Altruism and Service as a form of Anti- Depressant. - By;- Mike j Hughes




I would like to share with you all  an experience I went through many years ago  over a period of about 4 - 5 months wherein I was moving through a bout of deep depression that kept me indoors , lazy , fatigued ,mentally in the dark, and in a foggy and   lonely place   in which I found myself time after time.
I have been an esoteric and spiritual occultist for many years ,-going back to the age of 16 years
It was during my daily studies and regular meditation that I caught an flash of intuition  that gave me the cure for all of the misery and emotional pain I've endured for such a long time indeed.
I began to do a comparison between me and my own petty problems of my pathetic and rather small personality  and others human beings who are living miserable stunted  lives full of unbelievable suffering and an agony of mind that we here in the developed West cannot even begin to fathom , or  to comprehend.
One day I was reading an article  in the Share International magazine about how others are overcoming depression without the use of poisonous medication of which little or nothing is known about.
I began engaging   my life in the service to others who's mental and emotional condition were by far worse than my own small petty problems.
After some time of this altruism and service , my life quality began to change for the better and I began to henceforth be elated as my soul contact began to deepen and become increasingly effective in my life by the improvement of my health in all departments of  my being , such as within my physical, emotional, and mental avenues of expression.
One note I must write here concerning the honest approach to the mode of service to be rendered
If one feels the need to serve  to ''earn brownie points'' with God, or to ease ones own   consciousness, or for some spiritual selfish purpose,- then one is going about it in the wrong mode, and therefore one must revaluate ones heart and inner motives.
This is a service that must be given from a selfless point within the depths of ones own innermost BEING,- from ones own inner innate Divinity ,  issued forth as a decree from that Great Titan residing within us ALL.

(A Master Speaks), and Benjamin Creme’s writings

An excerpt
We present a selection of quotations on the theme of “Make it known”. The quotations are taken from Maitreya (Messages from Maitreya the Christ), Benjamin Creme’s Master (A Master Speaks), and Benjamin Creme’s writings.
***
Make known to all that I am here, and pave smooth My Path. My Plan is to release into the world a certain Teaching, which will show men that there exists a new approach to Living, a new way forward into the future time. May you be among the first to recognise Me, and through you I may work. Take upon yourselves this task. There is none higher which you could do in this life. Commit yourself to this work and serve your brothers. (Maitreya, from Message No.5)
***
Tell all who will listen that the Expected One is here, ready to begin, openly, His Mission. That He relies on the men and women of goodwill to work with Him for peace and justice, freedom and love. Tell them this. Tell them that Maitreya has the simple answer for the world’s woes. That sharing will engender the trust that will open the door, and the hearts of men, to blessed peace. Then will you see the flowering of the human spirit in brotherhood and co-operation. Then will the problems and blockages melt away, overcome in overflowing goodwill. (Benjamin Creme’s Master from ‘The ending of war’)
***
Many today rejoice at the promise which My Presence brings, but many more by far await still these glad tidings. Take upon yourselves, My friends, this task: Make it known that I am here, and embrace My Cause. Work thus for your brothers and know the joy of Service. (Maitreya, from Message No.115)
***
Maitreya has said that the most important thing you can do at the present time is to make His presence known. It is the number one priority for all spiritual groups who can believe it at any level – either as total, or even as five per cent, conviction that it is true. Then you are helping Maitreya, and … helping your own evolution: there is, inevitably, a karmic benefit from every spiritual action you make. (Benjamin Creme, SI, September 1993)
***
The time is short before [Maitreya’s] open appearance. Take heart from this and quicken your service on His behalf. Make known that He is among you and stir the hearts of those who know not yet these glad tidings. Fulfil your purpose and redeem the promise which you, long ago, have made. (Benjamin Creme’s Master, from ‘The wonder at the door’)
***
The opportunity to work for the transformation of the world, for the saving of humanity, the lower kingdoms, the Plan of Evolution, is a gift of grace, an opportunity never before offered to so many. I know it is easier to believe than to act on the belief, but if you believe it at any level, make it known at that level. This will be the only opportunity you will have to do that. When Maitreya comes forward, millions of people will gather round Him, the world will be transformed really rather quickly – but you have the chance to know beforehand, and to create the climate of hope and expectation which is required. (Benjamin Creme, SI, October 1999)
***
Make it your task to tell men that I am here, that I am working for them, for their future, for the future of all men and all things in the world. Make known My Presence among you, and be delivered of all that is useless in the past. Make known My Presence, and be assured that My Love will flow through you and light a path before you for your brothers and sisters. Do this work and help them and Me. My task is but beginning. When completed, I shall look back on this time as one of kindling Light in the hearts of the few who sought to serve their brothers. May you be one of them. (Maitreya, from Message No.6)
***
Many are the ways to serve but one among all today has priority: the Christ needs your willing help. Tell the world of His presence and His imminent emergence and aid Him more than you could know. Build together the thoughtform of this event and create a climate of hope. More than anything, this will ensure His smooth re-entry into a troubled and chaotic world. (Benjamin Creme’s Master, from ‘The people’s voice’)
***
We are living in momentous times; I cannot say it strongly enough. This is a time unlike any there has ever been before. I doubt if this particular opportunity for service has ever been presented to a group before. Many times in His Messages Maitreya has said: “This is an opportunity for service unlike ought seen before.” If He says it, you can be sure it is a reality. Never have so many people had this opportunity for service, this opportunity – at their level – to do something of major importance. That is why groups like this should recognize the opportunity, and the privilege given by it, to do their very best to live up to the opportunity presented and not waste it in competition or greed, or simple self-awareness and self-contemplation – which everyone has moments of but which, with dedication to the work, should be very rarely seen. (Benjamin Creme, The Art of Co-operation)
***
My plan is that you should see Me soon. With your help this may be so. I require the creation of a certain trust, an expectancy and hope. In this way no force need be used. My Law forbids such force. Therefore, My friends, the task is yours to grasp. Make known the fact that I am among you and create the climate in which shortly I may be seen. That will not be as difficult as you might think, for mankind today stands on the verge of a revelation of its true nature and worth. My Presence among you makes this so. Your brothers will thank you for the work you do. (Maitreya, from Message No.58)
***
Many there are who accept and believe that the Christ is in the world, who await impatiently His emergence into the open, yet who do no more than wait and wish, leaving the work of preparation to others. Sad it is that thus they waste the opportunity to serve uniquely at this unique time, a time like none before and none to follow.
My earnest wish for these is this: that they seize this opportunity to be of service to the Christ, and to their brothers and sisters who know not yet that He is among us. Tell them what you believe: that the Great Lord is here; that Maitreya knocks loudly upon the gate. Very little time remains to do this and prepare them for this precious experience. Seize the time and act. (Benjamin Creme’s Master, from ‘The requirements of the future’)
***
Carefully, under Law, do I show My face. Naught obstructs this progress but the creation of a pool of Hope, an air of expectation. Create this, My friends, and help My Cause. Make known the fact of My Presence to all who will listen, and welcome the New Time. Confirm for yourselves the reality of My Return among you and begin the building of the New World. I invite you to share with Me in this vital task and to enter into the Higher Service. Many among you are afraid to speak. Many hope that My Presence may indeed be true but fear the laughter of their brothers. My friends, your brothers need the hope that this message brings, to lift them once again into the Lighted Way. Spare not your efforts on My behalf, and share with your brothers that which you believe. No higher work can you do for Me. (Maitreya, from Message No.125)
***
I am 100 per cent convinced because of my experiences over many years but even if you are only 5 per cent sure – do what I am doing – make it known to the best of your ability – tell people, talk to the media, write articles, hold meetings! Tell everyone who will listen that this event is happening. Simply tell what you know, or what you believe.
If you are somewhat convinced (it doesn’t matter if you do not know all the answers, just say you don’t know)
tell what you believe. In this way you are bearing witness and people will listen to you. They may not necessarily be convinced, but they hear the information. Their minds become more open to the possibility. That is the important thing. (Benjamin Creme, SI, September 2003)
***
If you would serve Me and serve the world, make known, My friends, that I am here. In this way can you build the sure wall of Hope against which the tide of fear will beat in vain. (Maitreya, from Message No.69)
***
The importance of being alive at this time is that it provides to all the opportunity to serve the Plan and the planet as never before. No one, today, should feel excluded from this unique opportunity, however humble or restricted their circumstances – the planet belongs to all and the Plan involves all. (Benjamin Creme’s Master, from ‘The choice is man’s’)
***
Maitreya, Himself, stands at the door, His hand uplifted to knock. His signs increase apace as He awaits recognition. Welcome Him to your heart and ease His entry; let Him work through you. Remember that your brothers, also, deserve to know the Great News; leave them, and your sisters, not in the dark. We have reached the eleventh hour. The destined time is upon us. The long wait is all but over. Harness now your strength for the great work ahead. The times are as never before. The angelic myriads tremble in expectation. Maitreya’s warriors for Truth tighten Their girths and assemble behind Him. (Benjamin Creme’s Master, from ‘Maitreya at the door’)
***
When you see Me, you will know that I have been always with you, never far from your awakened heart. Know this and that in this coming time I shall never leave you, shall be with you always, to the end of the Age. The time is short indeed till God’s day of triumph. Believe this and work as one to tell the world that I am among you. Do this for Me, My friends, and know the true joy of service to your brothers. I call on you to make known at this late date that I, the Lord of Love, now walk among you. My friends, the time is short. Many hands and many voices are needed to proclaim this truth. I know already those on whom I may count. A final effort, My friends, and all will be as I have promised. (Maitreya, from Message No.137)

The New Group of World Servers. ;- By;- Christine Morgan



                                                                               
 
                                                                      
 
             





A talk given at the 1998 Arcane School Conference in New York about the New Group of World Servers.

Christine Morgan

To many of us the very name `the new group of world servers' is one that has become so familiar that we have to be careful not to underestimate the vital role it is playing in preparing the way for the reappearance of the Christ. This group has its "knowers" – those disciples and initiates whose communication spans the divide in consciousness between the spiritual Hierarchy and humanity, but also incorporates all those who unconsciously interpret and implement the Plan through an outgoing love and concern for humanity. They are all characterised by a sense of responsibility that urges them to selfless action. On the level of spiritual intention the group is of one breath, but this breath is exhaled in a myriad different ways and through many fields of activity, giving rise to that well known phrase "unity in diversity". The group is unique in world history and its vision catches the new and emerging ideas seeking to restore the mystery and beauty of life, free from dogma, creed and authoritarian structures. Those of us who are motivated to work subjectively within it are aware of its growing spiritual power and the excitement of being a part of a movement for Christ.
As we are about to participate in the Wesak Festival held in the sign of Taurus, it is significant that the new group of world servers is ruled by the qualities of this sign. The group forms the symbolic eye of humanity, sensitive to the light of illumination streaming from Taurus and projecting it forward along the evolutionary path that humanity is tentatively treading, highlighting obstacles to progress and indicating ways of surmounting them. The group also acts as a spiritual juggler, deftly adapting and experimenting with innovative methods of bringing order out of chaos, of arbitrating between different points of view in order to bridge gaps and heal wounds. As a group transmitting spiritual energy from the Hierarchy, its Love is energetically moving out into a needy world and displaying skill in action in bringing understanding of the issues which face humanity at this time.
Preparing humanity in this way is essential before the final phase of the reappearance of the Christ in physical manifestation occurs, for we can expect that His emergence `into the light of day' will evoke an incredible point of crisis in human consciousness. This time when He appears He will bring the fires of Love, demonstrating the Will aspect of Divinity, the force of Shamballa. This linking of planetary purpose to human intelligence and creativity must be foreseen and grasped by the new group of world servers, if only in a rudimentary way, so that the work He is coming to do will be sensed and recognised by the majority of thinking people. As the outpost of Christ's consciousness on Earth, the group is developing in some measure an intuitive link with the underlying purpose driving evolution, what we vaguely call the Will of God. It is starting to transmit something of the magnetic seed of the future – the Will-to-Good.
It is useful to consider the place of this group therefore, as the midway point between humanity and the great Ashram of the Christ. As a group, it is in contact to some degree with the buddhic plane which energises the power of the heart, causing it to radiate unconditional love, and also feeds the intuition with those ideas which have the conditioning energy to tune up the mind of humanity to the rhythm of the new age. The buddhic plane has been described as the plane of transitional ejection – a place from which new and assembled energies are "let loose upon the world of outer forms". This process has been accelerated since the Hierarchy shifted its location in 1925 from the higher mental plane to buddhic levels. The buddhic plane is the lowest cosmic ether, and therefore has a direct and unimpeded relation with the ethers of our physical plane. The etheric levels of our planet are consequently being energised as never before, and it is one of the causes of many new scientific discoveries at this time in the field of physics. Most importantly, the concrete mind simply cannot cope with the implications of these discoveries, and so the abstract mind is being activated at the cutting edge of science to cope with the strange world of quantum reality. It seems that investigation of this world by the human mind affects the behaviour of the substance therein, supplying evidence for the great esoteric truths that consciousness affects matter and energy follows thought.
Part of the problem for physicists in dealing with the peculiar world of quantum reality is that the subjective world which underlies the physical is constantly being re-made and recreated by the interplay of down-pouring energies and out-flowing forces. This is the hope of future glory however, and basic fact in nature that allowed the Christ to pronounce "behold, I make all things new". Herein lies the great opportunity for the new group as it learns to work with energies and time cycles, so grounding new expressions of the Plan on earth and ushering in the Aquarian age. It is this ever changing world of energies in which the group is learning to polarise its consciousness. Because it is a field of potential energy awaiting exploration and direction, it is also the inner cause of much of the uncertainty on the outer planes. The solid, familiar world of forms we have come to know and experience are subject to a constant pressure to change and re-form, reflecting the dynamic field in which our consciousness resides. "As a man thinketh, so is he" goes the great adage, and therefore, by extension, `As humanity thinks, so humanity is' – the ramifications of which are stupendous. One wonders if we are witnessing the transition phase from science to magic as the implications of the effect of consciousness on substance slowly permeate scientific thinking.
On more mundane levels, we see from the state of the environment, the wars, the poverty, the crime and promiscuity that, en masse a lot has to be done in the collective mind of humanity to elevate it into the new spiritual dispensation. Because of the uncertainty of how humanity will react and employ new and powerful energy during this transition period, for some time the new group in its work of preparing the way for the reappearance of the Christ is to act as a balance of forces. Spiritual energy can be misused and overstimulating if not held and distributed wisely and intelligently. Therefore, the group holds a position of balance between the planetary centres, Hierarchy and Humanity, making practical compromises between the emerging Plan, the perceived need, and the level of knowledge and understanding demonstrated by humanity. It is a vital interpreter of events and conditions therefore, as well as a catalyst for change.
There seems to be a general testing of humanity's readiness for responsibility as steward of the sub-human kingdoms at this time too, which is the great destiny of the fourth kingdom in nature. We have been manipulating form in the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms for some time, but now we see tentative explorations in the human kingdom in the field of genetics. It is form manipulation of a lower kind from the esoteric angle, as it is the substance aspect that is being worked with, but this is only a transition phase to the time that humanity will work with the indwelling positive life of form through knowledge of words of power rather than the written symbols of current science. Eventually our work with the positive indwelling life of the sub-human kingdoms will assist the evolution of life in all its manifestations on the Planet in line with the Plan.
We see from the thin dividing line on many such controversial subjects as genetic engineering that one of the tasks of the new group of world servers is to balance humanity's rapid growth in knowledge and intelligence by emphasising Love – that group energy which puts need before greed, and which advances consciousness and wisdom over identification with matter. The Tibetan tells us that we are today in process of re-interpreting "the doctrinal structure underlying the relation between knowledge and wisdom", and this has particular meaning for us as part of the esoteric heart of the new group of world servers. As we steadily radiate the energy of Love-Wisdom, the second aspect of Divinity, one of the effects is the disintegration of old knowledge based concepts. Crystallised doctrines are breaking up and being replaced by a deeper grasp of the reality of the Life aspect, of an energy described by the Christ as "life more abundantly". This is causing much upheaval in the religions of today, but also bringing together and synthesising the best aspects that each has to offer. This deepening philosophy of life is also arising from the horrific level of pain and suffering in the world. Humanity is searching deeper into its soul for answers and discovering the divinity within.
This process is empowered as those working within the heart of the new group of world servers learn to use the spiritual will in its synthesising aspect. Potencies released or `energetically moving out' from Shamballa are "the living substance which is substitution in nature and which is made available to the progressing point of light."1 In other words, as the group's vision begins to extend beyond the present boundaries of consciousness to an identification with the Life aspect of Divinity, it wields an energy that fuses disparate elements into wholes, seeing everything in existence as manifestations of the One Life – as energy units within a great cosmic whole. It is an impersonal vision which releases humanity from over absorption in the material world and projects instead a vision of spiritual creativity in a glorious future of light. It is a vision also of the simplicity of the spiritual life so needed in the complex world of today. The esoteric group's outstanding challenge at the approach of the new millennium is to wield the life aspect of Shamballa energy that simplifies and synthesises, so building the new world with conscious intent. The Tibetan put this beautifully when he said that men and women of goodwill everywhere under the influence of the new group of world servers will "organise themselves into battalions of Life".
Already, underlying the diverse fields of work and expertise, a subjective `oneness' exists within the new group of world servers which is esoterically `sounding' a note of inclusiveness to an increasingly sensitive and awakening humanity. According to the Tibetan, the development of an enlightened public opinion, which surely we are witnessing today, is, "speaking esoterically, right response to the sound which conveys the will of God to the ears of the attentive". The new group of world servers has to transmit this sound, and the method of learning how to do so is naturally through the inner ear and through that careful attention which comes from an inner attitude of constant listening.
The sacred word, the Om, embodies for humanity the principle of resurrection, releasing the spiritual life from the tomb of matter. Through right use of the Word, the group will, through world service and listening, hear that sound which will signal the coming of the Christ – preparation for which is its central purpose. Spending some time in silent reflection and contemplation, listening for the sound of Christ's returning is an inspiring exercise. It is a sound that is moving through our hearts at this very moment. All we need to do is to awaken and increasingly sensitise ourselves to its permeating note of joy. The esoteric sound of His approach can be likened to the hushed expectancy and spiritual tension pervading a spiritual rite after the sounding of some magical bell. It is a call to which all of us as people of goodwill, can and must respond.
