The
Pleiades: Source of Inspiration The Pleiades consists of seven
stars, to which certain seekers are invited to receive, while asleep or in
deep meditation, knowledge that is engrained in pure Being. However, those
who are attuned to the Pleiades must first have integrated their Perfect
Mold and should have started to consciously unfold the qualities that are
inherent in their Perfect Model. Prior to their invitation, the seekers
invited to the Pleiades have been purified and cleansed of the blocks to
their astral and mental bodies so that they can assimilate the knowledge
received, which their purified mental bodies will later translate and
interpret into simple words for the rest of humanity. The Pleiades have a tremendous
influence on our consciousness, and contact creates a sacred “void” in
seekers to allow them to integrate with a higher and more subtle level of
the Divine and Abstract Mind. The void is a “mental energy” that
transforms intuition into consciousness. How? Because receiving such a
high dosage of Pleiadian energy unites consciousness and mind so that both
can simultaneously perceive spiritual and divine knowledge. Moreover, such
sacred receipt of Divine Wisdom also resonates in the self-consciousness
of these seekers, which helps them to harmonize their mental and
intellectual faculties with those of the Pleiades. This in turn helps them
to become powerful “transmitting stations” that broadcast, albeit on a
lower level, their own understanding and interpretation of what they have
received.
The
Pleiades, therefore, open a higher level of consciousness in seekers,
unfolding within them the potentials and gifts that are inherent and
manifest on the higher planes of Being. Thus, the Pleiades have the power
to manifest and energize the qualities that are inherent in the seed ideas
of seekers by enhancing their intuitive and mental faculties, or the intelligence
of the heart.
The
seven planets of the Pleiades thus represent a “school” of learning
whose influence awakens and transforms the rational mind into becoming a
clear vehicle that can receive and translate into simple words what
consciousness experiences and lives. In turn, seekers on that spiritual
plane receive an enhanced level of consciousness that overflows with
divine seed ideas that must be expressed and shared with others.
The
Pleiades open up the intuitional intelligence of the seekers to a high
level in which consciousness and knowledge become one. This is the only
way that Divine Wisdom and Knowledge express themselves in seekers so that
they may share them with others. To be able to impart wisdom to others,
seekers must first become that
wisdom.
The Pleiades’ role, then, is to help seekers become consciously
aware of Divine Knowledge and Wisdom, which is why their etheric, astral
and mental bodies must be purified before being able to integrate with
that spiritual realm. The Pleiades represent a spiritual “station”
where the Perfect Model within seekers is energized and comes alive on
earth.
Seekers
who resonate with their Ideal Model gradually integrate their consecrated
Perfect Mold so as to be assimilated and “remodeled” in it once they
have dissolved the illusionary creations of their egos. However, if we
want to start the inner process and enter our consecrated Perfect Mold, we
must first consider it our “inner tomb.”
The
first phase of the process involves great changes within yourself, dying
to your old patterns before being “reshaped” in it. Once you are in
the mold, you will never be the same, and will remain in it until you and
the mold unite, manifesting your Perfect Model in and around you. In due
course, you will emerge renewed from the Mold. Initially, however, look
upon it as much more than just your tomb. In fact, after the complete
purification of your “old” self and purging of deceptive thought and
emotional forms, you will discover it to be your sacred “womb,” in
which your Divine nature within the Christ Child waits like a sacred seed
for the right moment to germinate in your life. That will be the day of
your rebirth
EXCERPTS
ON THE PLEIADES FROM THE BOOKS OF ALICE BAILEY
There
is a saying in the Christian Bible concerning the Pleiades in which Job
speaks of "the sweet influences of the Pleiades," whilst some of
the Oriental Scriptures affirm that our connection to the Pleiades are
made through sound and vibration. In Alice
Bailey, it is suggested that perhaps the Pleiades are the source of the
atomic life of our Logos, the active intelligent aspect, that one,
which was first developed, and which we might call electrical matter.
Hence it concerns the astral and etheric aspects of electric matter. We
can understand therefore that the influence of the Pleiades concerns the
transformation of the vibrational rates of matter.
The
word "electricity," may be traced back to the star Electra,
which is supposed to be one of the little lost sisters of the seven
Pleiades. Perhaps the Pleiades are the source of the atomic life of our
Logos, the active intelligent aspect, which we might call electrical
matter.
Then
there is the relationship of the Pleiades with the Great Bear. There is
much that is said about them in Oriental writings. The seven sisters are
said to be the seven wives of the seven stars of the Great Bear. Now what
is perhaps the truth back of that legend? If the Pleiades are the source
of the electrical manifestation, the active intelligent aspect of the
solar system, and their energy is that which animates all matter, the we
might think that maybe they represent the opposite and complementary
aspect, the feminine forming
aspect,
the negative pole of electrical energy, whose polar opposite, or the
positive aspect of the same energy is their seven husbands, the seven
stars of the Great Bear.. Perhaps the union of these two cosmic energies
is what produces our solar system. Perhaps these two types of energy, one
from the Pleiades and the other from the Great Bear, meet, and in their
conjunction produce what we call our solar system.
Another
type of energy reaches man from the Pleiades, passing through the Venusian
scheme to us. It has a definite effect upon the causal body,
and serves to stimulate the heart center.
Hence
we begin to understand that the Pleiades are to the solar system, the
source of electrical energy, and just as our sun is the embodiment of the
heart, or love aspect, of the Logos (Who is Himself the heart of ONE ABOUT
WHOM NAUGHT MAY BE SAID) so the Pleiades are the feminine opposite of the
Logos. Ponder upon this idea, for much is contained in this statement.
Hence we can say that the feminine aspect of this electrical cosmic energy
is the active intelligence that gives birth to CONSCIOUSNESS. As far as
man is concerned at present, the energy coming from the Pleiades
converges, and seeks to energize man's astral, etheric and physical bodies
via the seven etheric centers. (These centers receive the force in a
threefold manner, just like the Greek letter PSY does for our mandala
number: 10, which shows 4 TRIDENTS around a Chalice. This parenthesis has
been added and is in the context of the Perfect Mold and Model) It
Purifies... Transforms... and Protects... just like a mother would to
nurture her child. Hence, the Force that comes from the Pleiades passes
first via the Solar Angel or Soul of man.
Alcyone
is the brightest star in the Pleiades and its energy impregnated the
substance of the universe with the quality of mind Therefore, we
can understand that electric and cosmic initiation affects the subtle
bodies of man and are given from within the inner planes. The result is
that it affects the level of consciousness liberating the higher level of
intuition and abstract Mind. Most disciples and initiates go this way, and
it is the way of liberating humanity from its imprisoning condition.
According to Alice bailey, the seven stars of the Pleiades are the goal
for the seven types of the Soul Rays, in other words, the 7 Soul Rays
receive the influence of the Pleiades, and this is hinted at in the Book
of Job, in the words," can you not see the importance of connecting
with the sweet influence of the Pleiades?" (Loose modem translation
by me) In the mystery of this influence, and in the secret of the sun
Sirius, are hidden the facts of our cosmic evolution, and incidentally,
therefore, of own our solar system.
Being
the feminine aspects of electrical energy, the Pleiades represent as the
mothers of the seven aspects of form life and the "wives" of the
seven Rishis of the Great Bear." They are connected with the
Mother aspect which nurtures the infant Christ. We can guess the
importance of the role played by the Pleiades in the REBIRTH process.
According
to Alice Bailey through the divine center of intelligent activity, which
we call humanity, the fourth kingdom in nature, which is man will
eventually act as the mediating principle to all the three lower kingdoms.
Humanity is the divine Messenger to the world of form: it is
essentially Mercury that brings light and life to all divine
manifestations it is the AWAKENING ENERGY of Kundalini and divine world
Saviors and Avatars are its eternal symbols.
Again
according to Alice bailey, the energy of will—newly released by Sanat
Kumara upon our planet—emanates, via the head center of the planetary
Logos, from the Great Bear; it is stepped down in vibration via one of the
Pleiades (hence its influence upon matter and hence also its pronounced
effects upon humanity) and so enters into the solar system. It is there
absorbed by that major center of our planetary life to, which we give the
name. Shamballa. Its effect is necessarily twofold. It produces in
certain nations, races and individuals, a welling up of the self-will or
of the will-to-power, which is characteristic of the developed lower
nature, the personality aspect of integrated selfhood. It
produces—though less readily—a stimulation of the will-to-serve
the plan as it is grasped by the world aspirants, the world
disciples and initiates. Thus are the purposes of Deity materialized.
All
the Masters (and not only Those upon the fifth ray) receive careful
training in the manipulation of energies, and hence the statement of
the Master K.H. to His disciples that the occultist has to learn to master
and control the forces and energies within himself; the disciple and the
initiate work with hierarchical energies and with the forces of the
kingdoms of nature in the three worlds; the Master receives instruction in
the handling of the energies which are extra-planetary but within the
solar ring-pass-not. Those Masters Whose decision it is to tread the
second Path are taught the control and direction of systemic energies and
of certain energies emanating from Libra and from one of the stars in the
constellation of the Great Bear. In the more advanced stages of Their
work, and when the Master is far more advanced than the word indicates. He
works consciously upon the cosmic mental plane; His activities will then
be concerned with the relation of the energies of the Great Bear to the
Pleiades, and their dual relationship (a higher correspondence to
atma-buddhi) to the solar system and only incidentally to our Earth. Great
is the interlocking, the interdependence and the interpenetration! To print : THE PLEIADES AND THEIR ESOTERIC SYMBOLOGY
