It can help us gain a different perspective on our lives if we
see everything in terms of angles,
the subjective connections created
by devas that act as the framework
of our objective realities.
Everything is connected to everything else by angles, and our reality
only exists because of angles reacting
on our Self via the senses of its
physical vehicle. Take away every
physical connection, go beyond the
idea that the connection has to
have any frame of reference, above
any idea of how such a connection
could exist even though it must
(like astrological influences for
example), and what you are left
with is the angle.
Angles work through resonance, so that things have to share a similar
rate of vibration in order to react
with each other. Such points of
equal resonance would be connected
as though they were contour lines
on a map, there are no direct linear
connections between angles as they
act naturally like a network or
group, as for example in the idea
of the etheric web.
Angles are composed of an Elemental intention which is organised
into a pattern of substance by a
Devic intelligence and remains as
a condition of potentiality until
it is set into motion by conscious
energy. Then it takes on a life
of its own whose purpose is to achieve
the intention it was given at its
birth. I call this an angular life,
Lucille Cedercrans calls it a deva
of appearance (there is a difference
but it is not important here). Once
the intention has been realised
it will revert to a potentiality
until the next time its deva is
called upon to repeat its intention.
Angles are thus composed of substance
and intention, and are powered by
Ray energy, which is pure conscious
thought, unconceptual yet aware
beingness - superconsciousness.
This life of ours happens because conscious human thought makes
it so, thought composed of the energy
of awareness appropriated from the
source of superconscious life-force
or God which we are all attached
to. This thought power is humanised
before it is applied, and therefore
human feelings always accompany
the thought, and power the thought
into reality - thought only works
through the emotions to create reality
at our present stage of evolution.
This is the power of angles working
through the devic evolution, and
how and why they make our lives
eventful ~ because we are creative
beings who create our own realities.
We are born with a basic angular structure which relates to the
astrological influences operative
at our birth that our soul "wears"
for the duration of its earth sojourn.
At our present stage of evolution,
we identify with the conscious energy
which empowers our angles - this
is our personality, our normal everyday
selves which has lost contact with
the Overshadowing soul. As life
progresses this continual mistaken
identity (i.e. attachment to form)
allows these natal angles to trap
even more of our natural conscious
energy and therefore affect our
whole way of being alive. The result
is we sink deeper and deeper into
the common dual thinking mode, good/bad,
war/peace, love/hate etc, and just
can't see the natural unity of all
life above this duality of form
or substance.
To realise the Self, Higher Self, or whatever is running our lives,
we have to get back to that basic
state "as a child", pure of thought,
word and deed. We have to objectify
our angles, we have to stand back
and watch, witness, our angles at
work, because then what we are doing
is identifying with our consciousness
which is above angles.
Angles are an abstract concept, but they do manifest as astrological
aspects, which control the events
of the world according to how we
react to them. The nature of every
event is determined by how we apply
our freewill, whether we work through
habits, allowing our angles to continue
using the same stale energy because
that is effortless, the line of
least resistance; or whether we
give fresh energy to every experience
and so take creative control of
our lives, of our reality, and act
responsibly and lovingly towards
those who share our personal reality,
because we see them as alternative
reflections of our mutual source
of life-energy, God.
Now every concept we use and take for granted in our lives is the
manifestation of an angle or deva
of appearance, including the concept
of good and evil. Also, every time
we think of something, create something
- however temporary, talk to people
etc and relate to the outside world
in any way, the energy will be a
two way thing - our environment
will react back to us via the angle
concerned, in direct "proportion"
to the energy it has been given.
Evil is such a concept (as we understand
it at least) that is fed by the
opinions of those who talk and think
about it. Every thought that is
applied to it, both positive and
negative, will strengthen it, give
it extra power and make it stronger.
A massive angle like evil is a hungry
beast, and will feed on the energy
of those who give it reality, and
in turn it will feed those who would
use it for personal separative gain
and have over-stimulated their own
angles of evil causing them to resonate
with the major angle.
The paradox behind our dualistic reality is, for example, that
war will cease only when the human
need for war becomes obsolete, because
in the "Self world" of the Conscious
Soul Incarnate, love is a natural
condition that no longer holds a
conceptual reality, it just *is*,
and therefore it is beyond duality
and has no opposite, so we can say
from this perspective that there
is no love that can become hate,
no good that can become bad, there
is only life and beingness. Therefore,
again seen from this higher perspective,
if there is a choice between "being
good" and "doing good", one should
always "be" good. This is the ultimate
service.
The relevant point here is that words like "war", "evil" and "poverty"
are collective words which have
become major angles, and through
their association with similar antagonists
gain collective strength, and therefore
escalate their effects into our
realities. This is one reason why
the world has become so dangerous:
since worldwide communication, all
these new collective words or angles
have become household names popularised
by the media - words like serial-killer
for example.
Although there have always been such people, since the serial-killer
angle or deva of appearance came
into existence when it was first
given this name and identity, it
has taken on a systematic energy
exchange with similar angles/devas
such as evil, and enticed more weak
souls to become entrapped in its
snare. How? Through the very same
angles which exist in all of us,
as we are all like holograms of
the archetypal present day human
- we are the One Life and we are
also Selah, and somehow we have
to recognize that we are all capable
of such evil, because if we weren't
then evil would no longer exist
in our reality.
If we are in a war-zone, then war certainly does exist in our reality.
But it could also be seen as a separate
and very personal act of real violence
perpetrated by people against other
people, and within such a situation
one is only concerned with resolving
that situation of potential violence,
not with winning the war: war is
just the angle which connects atrocities
into a mockery of unity, a monster
driving people to fight each other
with no real awareness of their
motivation except basic survival.
The other relevant point is that a person, concept or object to
which we become attached appropriates
some of our conscious energy, allowing
it to have a direct effect on us,
as we are its source. This brings
in the idea of de-angling, or transformation
as Lucille Cedercrans calls it.
Transformation is about releasing those bits of our consciousness
which have been appropriated by
the past events and people we have
met, and these ghosts of the past
are false attachments of negativity
hindering our recognition of the
Overshadowing soul. Freeing our
attachment from form leads to a
redemption of matter, and so in
itself is an act of service.
All those odd angles of past associations out there have a continual
affect on us, but we have a shell
or frame of reference which filters
out most of them, making us insensitive
to much of the unseen worlds, because
it is painful to our personalities
to experience the truth - this barrier
of negatively energised angles,
our safety blanket of belief, shields
us from the truth of our matrix-like
reality, and keeps us separate from
the awareness of our own connection
to the universal divinity which
we share with all other aspects
of the One Life. But we can adjust
these filters and become aware on
different levels, become psychically
aware and intuitively aware, by
altering our life intention and
aligning our purpose with the Divine
Plan.
Transformation techniques, like the one in Lucille Cedercrans’
Nature Of The Soul, work because
you are asking your soul to steer
you towards circumstances which
will objectify certain negative
aspects of your persona, giving
you the opportunity to resolve them
- unfortunately it does not just
make them vanish!
Besides Lucille's transformation technique, we can help this process
along in our daily routines. As
angles work subjectively, all that
has to be done is to realise they
are working in the way they are
and decide to apply our consciousness
to the angle in question differently
next time, exercise our will, and
at the very least notice how and
why we do certain things in the
way we do them.
How does objectification help? Because by rendering a subjective
angle into an objective condition,
we are resolving the opposites which
create an angle, the positive and
negative poles, and by confronting
the subjective with the objective
the two negate each other and the
angle resorts to a potentiality
until next time it is employed,
rather than continuing its intention
way past its time. Basically, by
becoming aware that a personal failing
for example is an angle, we can
resolve the duality of both its
cause and its effect.
The de-angling process, my term for the transformational release
of the consciousness trapped in
matter, is like breathing. We objectify
- observe and awarely consider -
then subjectify again, forget. Exhale,
inhale. This same process is used
with seed-thoughts, where we consider
or say the seed-thought once, hold
it in our minds for a short time
as an objective consideration but
without repeating it, and then forget
it, which assigns it to our subconscious.
As an example, we can apply this same process to our beliefs or
our religions and clarify our angular
relationship with them : we don't
say Christianity is corrupt therefore
I will not follow Christ: instead
we say yes the Church has been corrupt,
we know its failings, but it also
has great strengths - we have to
objectify it and consider it. But
then we can re-adopt it in a healthy
way, and become a true Christian,
Moslem or whatever. Objectify, breathe
out, subjectify, breath in. Same
with the Teachings, or your personal
belief system: take yourself out
of their influence a while, look
at them objectively, question, and
start to bring the opinion of your
Soul into play - does your Soul
agree with everything you read about
the Soul? Then re-absorb them again,
leaving a question mark against
anything that does not seem to fit
- don't negate them all if just
some points do not appear to fit,
only accept what you can feel your
Self believes in - not in the opinions
of other people, books or whatever
- let your Soul guide you, let your
guru be your guide.
Similarly in our world evolutionary condition, we are at present
in an outbreathing phase of objectivity,
as symbolised by the masculinity
of our world cultures, and soon
the time will come for the inbreathing
again, back to a more subjective
view on life, like the matriarchal
societies of the past, like the
Native cultures who have retained
much of this "femininity" within
their traditional lifestyles.
But it is important to realize that we evolve on a spiral, not
on a wheel, so every level of return
will be higher than before - we
will not return to a feminine world
as we would picture it today, but
to a feminine world which will be
above and beyond anything we are
presently able to conceive with
our imagination, quite possibly
even where gender has been resolved
and masculinity and femininity will
be different aspects within every
individual.
This is one of the next stages that must be tackled. We must begin
to create the new in our minds,
using new thoughts to create new
subjective horizons, and so be prepared
for the reversal of the breathing
process of evolution which is imminent,
when our subjective visions will
become our objective realities.
It is only by recognising, and becoming, the unity of being within
ourselves, by resolving all the
dualistic concepts that our personality
holds dear, that we are able to
reach the position where we can
detach ourselves from this false
reality, and so become a source
for the creative and attractive
force of pure consciousness which
is our soul Ray, which naturally
functions in synthesis and harmony
with all other aspects of the One
Life. Our soul Ray originates above
the level of angles, it is a facet
of the Christ force, it is our Self,
our Conscious Soul Incarnate, and
our unique contribution to the Divine
Purpose of the One Life.
We should use our creative will to change how we do things and
think things, delve into our minds
and face our hidden fears, our nasty
personal bits which we all have
- be honest with ourselves and confront
them, bring them into our reality,
make them objective and their bad
energy will dissipate. Then we should
do the same in the world.
Yes, we should be aware of the nasty bits of the world, wake-up
to the reality of what is really
going on around us, be aware of
the true motives which are centred
in the solar plexus, the greed powering
everything, but do so without fuelling
the fire - without giving more energy
than is necessary to recognise and
be aware of the real intentions
driving the angles which control
world events.
Astrology maps the angles at work, then magic exorcises and purifies
the energy of the angles, banishes
its demons by confronting them,
and subjecting them to the will
of God and applying the love which
comes from the recognition that
we all are One, we give them a new
positive purpose aligned with Divine
Intention.
Peace is not just about being not at war, it is effort applied
to maintain the balance of good
and evil, beginning with our Selves
so that eventually we can resolve
the duality and eradicate those
energies which make war an option.
It is not easy, it is never easy
dealing with negative energy, especially
energy which has to be confronted,
that will no longer remain hidden.
If we can do this within ourselves,
accept joint responsibility as members
of the human family for these evils,
if we can face these evils and recognise
them for what they really are, and
banish them - after bathing them
with love - then this small part
of the suffering will not have to
earth onto the physical plane.
So long as we remain pure of heart whatever our outer circumstances,
we can remain unblemished by all
evils, and become examples to those
around us.
But we must use these energies for change constructively as well,
we must begin building the new world
now, our new world, a world beyond
the duality of good and evil, war
and peace, a world of perfection
and beauty, a world of brotherhood.
"The disciple upon whom the Master can most confidently depend
is the one who can - in periods
of change - preserve that which
is good and fundamental while
breaking from the past and add
to it that which is of immediate
service in the present. An attitude
of spiritual compromise is right,
needed and very rare to find."
(Alice Bailey: DINA 1:681)
Let us purify the angles between us with "an attitude of spiritual
compromise", and become the centre
through which the Synthetic Ashram
can channel its divine energy of
unconditional love into the world
at large, without defining
its intention except as
a manifestation of the Will To Good.
Together and in synthesis with others
who would be at peace, let us remain
positive whilst recognising the
reality of our situation.
By turning our awareness inwards and our energies outwards, and
with peace in our hearts, the energies
of world peace will blossom and
grow.
Let us together become the peace of the world.
