It would be my suggestion that this particular alignment, and the information
which appears with it, be made available to all members of the overall group, and
also to all of those individuals who are within the sphere of group influence. The
Center of Synthesis is available as a subjective focal point that any disciples in
any group anywhere in the world can use as a subjective aid in their particular
service activity. It would be possible for them to link up with the center, and
through the center to invoke energy from the Avatar of Synthesis. This would call
into play the Devas of Synthesis. This energy could be invoked into their service
activity for the purpose of manifesting the Divine Plan for humanity. First, align
with the World Group and visualize the World Group as a body of Light active
within the world. Then contemplate your service activity in relationship to the
Divine Plan for humanity, and then in relationship to the activities within the World
Group. Finally, stand receptive to its practical manifestation in your particular field
of affairs. When you are satisfied with these three factors, then link up with the
center. Visualize it as a blue-white nucleus with the four petals, and in company
with the center, link up with the higher correspondence within the Ashram. Link up
through the Ashram with the triangle of the overshadowing Christ (the Lord
Maitreya), the Planetary Logos (Sanat Kumara), and the Avatar of Synthesis.

the central point of light is the nucleus, consisting of the lighted consciousness in
a mind of three or more disciples who are next in lineas Soulsfor the Thread
contact with the Master of the Ashram. The focal point and the nucleus of the
Center are so nearly One in consciousness as to be enabled to work together on
mental and astral levels in one frequency and power. Surrounding the nucleus
and extending outward from it in a series of petal formations are the graded
levels of lighted consciousness, which completes the Esoteric Center. It must be
remembered here that we are speaking of a Center which is constructed, in its
entirety, out of the units of consciousness which make up its total. How has such
a Center come into being? It is an externalization, in part, of an Ashram, on
mental and astral levels. Its members are moved by the same purpose and are
stirred into activity in response to the goals naturally presented by that purpose.
Each consciousness carries the same, in kind, though different in degrees of
awareness of life and its meanings. Each is imbued with the same ideas, ideals,
principles, and standards, hopes and dreams for the betterment of humanity, is
responsive to the same thought-forms, and each is invocative and evocative of
the same energies. Its members may never have met upon the physical plane of
affairs and may even be unconscious in the brain of the fact of the Center. Yet,
even in the lower levels of race mind thought, they tend to become a Center of
power along some line or another. The very nature of this sameness brings
motion. 174
next Wesak festival. At that time the Avatar of Synthesis, in his relationship to the
Planetary Logos and the Overshadowing Christ, will release to the Hierarchy a
quantity, a quality, and a frequency of Synthesis which has never heretofore been

released to this planet. At different points throughout the world, centers have
been or are being constructed to receive and carry this energy into contact with
the human family in specific departments of activity. This particular Center is one
of them. In addition to Center nucleus personnel, there must be constructed as
quickly as is possible (and it is hoped within this next moon cycle), four petals
which, in themselves, will constitute Center personnel and Center function, who
can and will then carry the energy of Synthesis into the body of humanity in
specific departments of human activity. These petals, which move out objectively
from the sphere of the nucleus Center, and subjectively from the point of absolute
white at the center of that sphere, move in a circulatory motion to the right in such
a way as to form structurally both an even-armed cross and an outer periphery of
the Center itself. Certainly, and I shall be frank with you in this, we are faced with
a major problem in the formation of these petals and the completion of this
particular stage of the building of the Center and the establishment of its function;
for in order for the Center to function in this regard, there must be right
relationship between petal personnel and nucleus personnel, just as there must
be right relationships between nucleus personnel and any other group members
who are endeavoring to relate together in a function or a number of functions.
Personality (and I will give just a few moments to this, as I realize that you all
understand this, yet I feel I must re-emphasize it), personality resentments, and
the actions which carry negativity 179
into the devic structure of the Center itself, are not only dangerous to Center
personnel, but render the function of the Center actually harmful in its effects
within the body of humanity. This is a hard truth for disciples at certain stages of
development to accept. That negativity which they release into the group devic
structure, the group aura, as it moves out into its sphere of influence, carries an
impact which is harmful to those human beings with whom it comes in contact. It
is a hard truth and there are many who as yet are unable to accept it. Yet, those
of us who work with you know only too well, and we must account for it. You
realize, then, the problem with which we are confronted in the forming of the four
petals which constitute specific functions within the Center itself. All four of the
petals should be functioning by the time of the Wesak. At this particular moment,
at the present rate of group growth, this does not appear possible. But it may
become so if certain steps are taken. We shall endeavor, first, to establish both
the actual petal structure, and function of the first two petals, within this next
moon cycle. The first petal will relate the energy of Synthesis to the department
of government, focusing that energy primarily into the United States government,
but into all others as well. The second petal will focus the energy of synthesis into
the field of education, primarily, as well as the fields of science and religion. Then,
the Center nucleus, and at least two of the petals, will be working together in the
closest subjective rela180
tionship to expand somewhat the Center function from its initial phase in which
we now find it, into the next stage which will really begin at the Wesak when the
greater release of energy is made. It is possible that the acceptance of the
function, that the inner inter-relationship of the personnel working together on

subjective levels of effort, will radiate an influence which may make it possible to
request and receive cooperation from others within the group whose development
and karma places them in the position of being available to form the other two
petals. There is one other point that I wish to make which may seem somewhat
unrelated to that which has preceded it. As a focal point for the reception and
transmission of the energy of synthesis, the Center assumes, as a part of its
function, a new assignment in the very near future. The Center is to be made
available to any and all disciples functioning anywhere in the world within any
particular group effort in service to the Divine Plan for humanity, as a subjective
focal point within the body of humanity through which the energy of synthesis can
be invoked into their specific service efforts. The information regarding this
function is being made available to others working in the field, and such
information will find its own, so to speak, in a relatively short period of time. A
meditation form and an alignment is being given to all disciples to use in their
efforts to use the Center if they so choose. This, of course, means that the
necessity for a 24 hour focus of spiritual force, both in reception and distributing,
be maintained. For the Center may be called upon at any time during a 24 hour
period by any disciple anywhere in the world for additional aid in his particular 181
effort. Personnel will find a subjective response to these calls and will find it
necessary in some way to account for this additional function, both within their
meditation efforts and within their own higher and lower alignment throughout the
24 hour a day period. In other words, there will be an effect upon both
consciousness and instrumentality as this gets underway. In some instances,
such a use of the Center will be made known to you. In many more instances,
your only knowledge of it will be subjective. This again necessitates the function
of the petals in the quickest possible time, for the petal personnel will bear the
greatest brunt of this part of the Center function. It is they who will receive the
initial impact of the invocative appeal, as well as carry the energy invoked into
contact with those who have asked for it. There is much overshadowing that can
be brought into your consciousness as we proceed, if you are receptive. If the
Center were to function with only one or two petals it would have its effect
because those functioning would simply have to carry a greater burden of energy.
It is likely that there will be those who will respond to the Center. Simply tell them
what you are doing and what the effects of the relationships have been. The
meditation of the nucleus and each of the petals formed will be coordinated so
that you will all be working together. The functions already established will be
expanded somewhat, and new functions will be added as it is possible to do so.

as the focal point of Hierarchial effort, to serve the evolving human consciousness
until it reached a certain point of development. That point of development is
(relatively speaking) with us now, and this shift has to be made. Do not forget that
whatever is done now can always be expanded. You certainly will not begin with
the facilities, even so far as the amount of land is concerned. It is possible that
you could even relocate in the given area several times before the end of the
century. The acquiring of land is one of the major impulses now moving from the

Ashramic Center into the group life. I shall complete the instruction to be
projected at this particular time regarding the petal function in relationship to that
of the nucleus, so that we can proceed to other subjects. By the actual time of this
next New Moon, the Center will be called upon from several different focal points
within the world of affairs for aid. I should like then, to see the first petal begin to
function with some measure of effectiveness at that time. The function of the
second petal must, of course, wait upon some little training of the personnel
involved. I have requested a meeting during the New Moon period of all nucleus
and petal personnel within which to project the coordinated meditation form to be
used by them during the lunar cycle. That form must of necessity be somewhat
less than what would ordinarily be projected to Center personnel, in order to fit
the consciousness and skills of those individuals who have not had Center
training. Therefore, I am going to ask the nucleus, and the three of you who will
be forming the first petal, to add to the 188
higher alignment given: the triangle of the overshadowing Christ, the Planetary
Logos, and the Avatar of Synthesis. At the same time, add to the lower alignment
the devic structure of your own instrumentality, including the individual auras,
integrated to form a group aura. The next phase or stage of the building of the
Center and its function will emphasize the creation of a dynamic auric influence
within the world of affairs. The building up, and I might add, the charging, of the
aura, will have its effect upon the individual group membership as well, and their
environment, individual and collective. You, as the Conscious Soul Incarnate will
be invoking into your aura the high frequencies of the Ashram, creating a dynamic
auric influence. I realize that very little instruction has been projected previously
regarding this subject. However, you have received enough instruction in the past
regarding other related subjects, and you have undergone enough growth and
development within your consciousness to enable you to quickly relate to this
aspect of your equipment as you begin to use it. The aura is that part of the
instrumentality through which the devic life within the three worlds of human
endeavor, including the devic life of the lower kingdoms in nature, are influenced
and eventually controlled. The focus of attention upon the aura will create rapid
and very pronounced changes, which can be noted both within the instrumentality
itself and within the environment insofar as the relationship of the consciousness
to the devic evolution is concerned. Because it is necessary to focus attention
upon this a part of the building effort, at the same time that some petal personnel
will be undergoing training, particularly in subjective function, I must confine the
instruction regarding 189
the creation of the auric influence to those of you who are ready to receive it and
at the same time, depend upon you to carry forward the necessary work silently,
but at the same time, including those members in the effects of the work even
though they will not be consciously working with it at this time. There are then
certain basic concepts regarding the aura that I wish to project at this time and
ask you to apply when the instruction is projected to the total Center personnel.15
At this time, the nucleus and the petals are given the responsibility of charging
the group aura, individually and collectively, with the spiritual (and I am using this

term deliberately) energies which are the basic content of that which is referred to
as Soul infusion. This may seem very basic indeed and elementary, but it is not.
Pull into the aura (not the instrumentality specifically) the Spiritual Light (which is
remember, the creative light), Spiritual Love, and the Spiritual Power of the
Overshadowing Spiritual Soul within the Ashram, charging the aura with these
characteristics, these qualities and these frequencies. Then you may, if you wish
to, turn your attention to it at any time during the daily routine, utilize any one or
more of these basic characteristics, qualities, and frequencies in your activities.
But do concentrate your attention as often as is possible upon the filling of the
aura, individually and collectively, with them, until you become consciously aware
of the actual presence of these energies around you, and as a part of your
equipment. Become so aware of them that they become like a part of your
equipment, like an outer skin, so to speak, but with depth.
cleanses and purifies, for instance, the solar plexus center, the heart center, the
throat center, and so on; and it adds to the magnetic aura of these centers that
spiritual quality, that spiritual frequency, and that spiritual characteristic, which is
necessary to the vehicle of the Conscious Soul Incarnate. There is only one other
technique that I shall give you at this time in relationship to the aura. And this
because I consider that you have earned it and because it can be of use not only
to yourselves, but to the overall group life, and to every individual with whom you
come in contact. At least once a day (and you do not have to do this in deep
meditation, merely turn your attention to it) align with the Seventh Ray aspect of
the Ashram and, via that alignment, pull into the aura healing energy which can
be called upon by the instrumentality at any time there is need, and which can be
directed outward to those who may have need of it, whether they are aware of it
or not. It can be directed through any center which corresponds with the area of
difficulty which the individual is experiencing. It can be directed through the
hands, or simply by thought, as a radiatory action. I shall ask the nucleus and the
petal personnel to concentrate upon receiving from the Ashramic Group Soul into
the group aura, those energies to which I have referred, as the initiation of this
stage of the center building. Realize that you are building a devic structure and
that to a very great degree the outer physical manifestation of the center itself will
be determined, qualified, etc., by this work which you will be doing. For, according
to the auric influence will be then the outer physical manifestation of the center
itself. 193
assume a particular function. Either they will come to the point where they will be
able to assume this function or they will assume a lesser function, (lesser insofar
as responsibility is concerned). They will be of service now, by achieving the
growth and development necessary to round out their equipment. To cut off all
relations with these members is wrong. A friendly relationship, which is an outpicturing of the true brotherhood, should be maintained. No effort to hide from
them the fact of these meetings, the fact of the formation of the petals, should be
made. In other words, do not try to hide from them the fact that two petals are
being formed, the fact that the center is functioning. Do not make a special point
necessarily of telling them, but do not try to hide it. If they put to you questions as

to why they have been left out, if this is the way it looks, explain it, for it will be
only in the realization of the effectiveness of the energies released in center
function that they will eventually come to understand what is taking place. Also,
you must remember that when a situation of this kind arises, you must not in any
way attempt to influence the individuals involved. If there are those within the
group who wish to withdraw temporarily or permanently from activity, you must
stand aside and give them every right to do as they so choose. When any
member of the group, or any individual outside the group, rejects anothers
function or when they cannot agree with the instruction which is coming forth, you
must not make an effort to force them to do so. This is their right. They must have
free choice at all times to accept or reject as they see fit. Regarding the golden
cross of life, quality, and appearance of the One Life, these have to do with that
which is called the Synthemata. 198
Then, they contemplate their service activity in relationship to the activities within
the World Group as it cooperates within the World Group and what is happening.
Third, is it practical insofar as their particular field of affairs is concerned? Once
they satisfy themselves as to these three factors, they link up with the center,
visualizing it as a bluewhite nucleus with the four petals. Then, in company with
the center, they link up with the higher correspondence within the Ashram, and
through that with the triangle of the overshadowing Christ (the Lord Maitreya), the
Planetary Logos (Sanat-Kumara), and the Avatar of Synthesis. They invoke, from
this point, the energy through the center and via their alignment with the center
into their own service activities. Remember that the energy can be invoked only
for service reasons. There are a number of centers of synthesis. There is a
correspondence, and this center does function as one of those centers. But, as
you have been told before, knowledge of the exact center is being withheld from
you because you are not yet ready for it. It is possible, as the center moves more
and more effectively into its function, for you to perceive with the intuitive or
spiritual perception what that correspondence is. But you will not be told now, and
it is doubtful that you will be told in this incarnation. You know, the function of a
center of synthesis is twofold. You are entering into (shall we say) the first
begin208
nings or part of that function. There is a shift in function after the first has served
its purpose. A center of synthesis not only transmits synthesis, but it, in turn,
becomes that within which the separated (or so-called in appearance) is set
aside. Humanity is functioning as the throat center and is that center within the
body of the planetary life within which all kingdoms in nature are synthesized into
a One lifefrom the highest to the lowestfrom the lowest to the highest.
Actually, what I have hinted at, or pointed at, will come in a much later cycle in the
history of the life of the center and will have to do with evolving humanity itself.
The function of the center is dependent upon a nucleus (now I am referring not to
a nucleus alone as differentiated from petals, but a nucleus insofar as center
personnel are concerned) focused within the mental, the astral, and the etheric
frequencies of a specific area within the planetary body itself. So long as there is
a group focal point functioning at that point there is a center with and within which

others who are also functioning can relate. I would like to clarify one point of
conflict within the group once and for all. A physical center within which a nucleus
(and I mean a nucleus) of the group can function 24 hours a day is of vital
necessity. This must be. How the group works out its living conditions is up to the
group. This is not a Hierarchial matter. The Hierarchy is concerned only with this:
that there is a physical center which is constituted of all the kingdoms in nature
all of the devic forces of those kingdoms which can be used as the focal point
through which the energies the Hierarchy wishes to distribute to the body of
humanity and the world of affairs, can be focused. This is the point of entry 209
The head center constitutes that center in etheric substance of your
instrumentality which is in the same vibratory realm as your home, so to speak, in
the Ashram. This is a secret little knownan occult factits revelation brings the
realization that continuity between the soul in the Ashram and the Conscious Soul
Incarnate is but a matter of utilization of these two centers, their alignment, the
gradual growth of a magnetic field between them and eventually their mergence
into one another, until the Thousand-petal Lotus is manifest as the physical
materialization or manifestation of the Spiritual Soul in the Ashram. Realize then,
as you utilize that line of light between the cave and the head center, the
tremendous meaning involved herethat the path between the cave and the
head center is the path of evolution between and just prior to the Third Initiation
and the completion of the Fourth Initiation, that contained within it, between head
center and the cave is that vast body of Wisdom which will constitute your state of
consciousness as you stand before the One Initiator to receive the touch of the
Rod of Initiation to emerge a Master. This small bit of space between the cave
and the head center which has to be brought into your conscious awareness and
reflected outward, made manifest in your life and affairs through however many
incarnations you take on the Path of Discipleship, that you have not to rush
frantically or deliberately or any other way about the face of the earth seeking
heaven or seeking truth or seeking the Wisdomthat it is all contained right here
in this small space, strange as it may seem, it is contained here, that you will,

The centers within the brain are connected with the etheric body via lines of
etheric substance, which resemble light, constitute the petals of the head center.
This does not mean they are these petals, but in miniature they are a replica of
that. Also in miniature, they are a replica, or the focus, of the center system
throughout the entire etheric body. The head center in its totality (which includes
all major centers in the head) is focused into, in a sense it is brought into, a focus.
These many, many little brain centers are, in miniature, the blueprint of the center
system of the entire etheric instrument. The head 333
and-petaled lotus. In its totality, and in its full development, it includes everything
in the head, all of the centers. This head center is subjective. This is the
subjective instrument, both actual and potential. That which is actual or made
actual is brought into manifestation via the focus of the many parts of the
instrument through these various brain centers. The brain itself, all of these

centers, is the blueprint of the whole instrument. It is the energy that is moving
from the head center, through the brain centers and back out again, that produces
the man or the appearance of the man in the outer world. Now anything that
overshadows this way comes down into a focus before it can come back out in a
reflection. What you see is a lens here, as it is brought into focus. The brain, with
its many centers, is the focal point between the tremendous overshadowing.
(Remember, the head center is much more than the state of consciousness
reflected in the three worlds.) That overshadowing comes down in almost a fan
shape into the head, not into the cave but just in front of the cave, to the brain just
in front of the cave. These lines of light, this fan-shaped network, are called vital
airs. These vital airs, or this fan shaped etheric screen, comes down from the top
of the head right 334
An esoteric center is, first of all, a specific state of consciousness functioning
within the total human consciousness as a focal point for the transmission and
radiation of a particular type, strength, and quality of Soul awareness and energy
into the life and affairs of the human family. It extends downward from the
Hierarchy as an externalization (in part) of the Ashram, into the consciousness
aspect of humanity on mental levels. Its focal point or central point of light will
consist of the lighted consciousness in a mind of one or three disciples who are in
direct contact with the Master of the Ashram (Disciples on the Thread). Closely
aligned with and adhering to (in consciousness) the central point of light is the
nucleus, consisting of the lighted consciousness in a mind of three or more
disciples who are next in line, as Souls, for the thread contact with the Master of
the Ashram. The focal point and the nucleus of the center are so nearly One in
consciousness as to be enabled to work together on mental and astral levels in
one frequency and power. Surrounding the nucleus and extending outward from it
in a series of petal formations are the graded levels of lighted consciousness
which complete the esoteric center. It must be remembered here that we are
speaking of a center in consciousness, which is constructed in its entirety out of
the units of consciousness which go to make up its total. How has such a center
come into being? It is an externalization (in part) of an Ashram on mental and
astral levels. Its members are moved by the same purpose and are stirred into

through centuries of living in the world of the personality) in the conflicts then
which ensue between the two he will but take up his cross, that is, render his
service in the very midst of the storm within or without, then his steps upon the
path are rapid and great. They carry him far, far in any one incarnation. For
instance, let us look upon the past years which Lucille has experienced. And I
refer to her because she did bring this question to me. Those years have been
fraught with much negativity, much unpleasant and disastrous (in some events)
experience. And yet much more could have been gained had she been at that
point where she could have put herself down in the middle of the experience,
whatever it was, and given that service which only she can render. This is true of
any disciple, regardless of the experience, and regardless of how often the
personality declares that it must have a certain material security in order to serve.

There have been very few times when Lucille could not have brought through that
which is her responsibility in service to the Plan. And for every disciple, whoever
he is, wherever he is, and whatever his circumstances and conditions, there
comes the forgetting, the losing of the self, the lesser self and its problems, to this
service. Perhaps in the beginning only for a few moments a day, then a few
hours, then a few days out of the week, and finally for the whole time. It is the
attention to the self and its problems which is the error when the attention should
be to the burden which has been taken on, and which cannot be set down once it
has been picked up. This applies to every, to all disciples at this point of
development. Very soon the petal personnel will be functioning. There is one
point that I would remind you of at this time in regard to this. You are the nucleus
of the center. You are 543

The heart center provides the training for discipleship and for teachers and
probationers. The head center provides leadership training. All of the centers
relate with specific needs of the group. Head center structure now provides the
energy petals for all three energies. They are functioning within the center itself.
They become focal points for the circulation of the three major centers. We have
our Seventh Ray energy petals in the head center that are directly related with
the throat center and bring into our group Seventh Ray energy from the throat
center. What is the goal, the purpose of all this? Actually the group is endeavoring
to become the incarnate Soul within the body of humanity. This is the group life
this is its major goal. By the year 2,000, there is within the body of humanity as
the group, an actual group consciousness which is the Soul. The Soul is group
conscious. It is impossible to become a Conscious Soul Incarnate as an
individual. The Conscious Soul can only incarnate into a group instrumentality.
We are building a vehicle for this, so that the Divine Plan can manifest for
humanity the growth and development of humanity. We will attract those who are
ready when we are readynot that they may not be ready but that we arent
ready yet.

January 12, 1962 My instruction at this time will be more in the nature of an
announcement, actually, than instruction. The center energies will be again
released, first through center personnel. During the period of the Full Moon, these
energies will be focused through individuals as a group unit to the devic life within
this specific area. At the time of the Full Moon, the energies will then be directed
from the center focusthat is, the nucleusto the other disciples working within
this group life in this specific area. Please remember that you will receive the
center energies through the nucleus itself rather than directly from ashramic
levels. Your alignment will be within the ashramic group life in the formation of

petals, moving to the right in a circular motion from the center nucleus itself.
From the period of the Full Moon until the Dark of the Moon, the energies will be
directed by those constituting the petals of the center, into the devic life, not only
of the area, but primarily and specifically of the overall group life, particularly upon
etheric levels.

From the period of the New Moon until the next Full Moon (and this will be a very
critical period during which every effort to maintain stability, individually and
collectively, will be necessary, for these disciples functioning within the overall
group life and affairs in the Denver area. This may include all of those students
presently taking The Nature of the Soul if they wish to enter into this specific
activity during this period. Those members of the group are to link up with the
center personnel and its nucleus, its petals, to align via the Ashramic Group Life,
the ashramic center, the overshadowing Christ and the Avatar of Synthesis
establishing, via a meditative alignment (and I would have you note this particular
term), a period of silence as close to noon as is possible each day in an approach
to as perfect a reception of center energies as possible. Now at the time of the
Full Moon, the energies are to be released into and throughout the etheric
network of humanity from the time of the Full Moon to the time of the completion
of the cycle, that is, the next Dark of the Moon: This with only one qualifying and
directing thought or focus of attention, this to be the precipitation of the Love of
the Christ directly into the life and affairs of humanity, individually and collectively,
manifesting the ordered progression of the Divine Plan for humanity in this time
and placemeaning in the time and place of humanity individually and
collectively. This is by way of an assignment. I will be very frank with you. It is a
test of the ability of the group to function in right relationship with one another in
service to humanity. There will be no instruction projected during 1187

this time by the Hierarchy, and being distributed into and throughout the body of
humanity via those disciples who are primarily assigned to this function. But this
is nothing in comparison with the quantity and quality of synthesis which will be
released to the Hierarchy, and through the Hierarchy to disciples in this field,
within the next Wesak Festival. At that time the Avatar of Synthesis, in his
relationship to the Planetary Logos and the overshadowing Christ, will release to
the Hierarchy a quantity, and a quality, and a frequency of synthesis which has
never heretofore been released to this planet. At different points throughout the
world, centers have been or are being constructed to receive and carry this
energy into contact with the human family in specific departments of activity. This

particular center is one of them. In addition to center nucleus personnel, there

must be constructed as quickly as possible (and it is hoped within this next moon
cycle), four petals which in themselves, will constitute center personnel and
center function, who can and will, then carry the Energy of Synthesis into the
body of humanity in specific departments of human activity. These petals, which
move out objectively from the sphere of the nucleus center and subjectively from
the point of absolute white at the center of that sphere, move in a circulatory
motion to the right in such a way as to form structurally both an even-armed cross
and an outer periphery of the center itself. Now certainly, and I shall be frank with
you in this, We are faced with a major problem in the formation of these petals
and the completion of this particular stage of the building of the center and the
establishment of its function. In order for the center to function in this regard, 1192
Petals, The
there must be right relationships between petal personnel and nucleus personnel,
just as there must be right relationships between nucleus personnel, or any other
group members who are endeavoring to relate together in a function, or a number
of functions. Personality (and I will give just a few moments to this, as I realize
that you all understand this, yet I feel I must re-emphasize it); personality
resentments and the actions which carry negativity into the devic structure of the
center itself are not only dangerous to center personnel, but render the function of
the center actually harmful in its effects within the body of humanity. This is a hard
truth for disciples at certain stages of development to accept: that that negativity
which they release into the group devic structure, the group aura, as it moves out
into its sphere of influences, carries an impact which is harmful to those human
beings with whom it comes in contact. It is a hard truth and there are many who
as yet are unable to accept it, yet those of Us who work with you know only too
well, and We must account for it. You realize then the problem with which We are
confronted in the forming of the four petals which constitute specific functions
within the center itself. All four of the petals should be functioning by the time of
the Wesak. At this particular moment at the present rate of group growth, this
does not appear possible. But it may become so if certain steps are taken. We
shall endeavor, first, to establish both the actual petal structure and function of
the first two petals within this next moon cycle. I am asking three members of the
group to act as the first petal which will relate the Energy of Synthesis to the
department of government, focusing that energy primarily into the United States
1193
Petals, The
government, but into all others as well. Certainly you are free to reject the
assignment if you so choose. I have given the opportunity of the second petal
function to three in Denver, and am waiting for their decision regarding it. The
second petal will focus the Energy of Synthesis into the field of education,
primarily, as well as the fields of science and religion. If these personnel so
designated accept the function, then the center nucleus and at least two of the
petals will be working together in the closest subjective relationship to expand,
somewhat, the center function from its initial phase in which we now find it, into

the next stage which will really begin at the Wesak when the greater release of
energy is made. It is possible, with the acceptance of the function, that the inner
inter-relationship of the personnel working together on subjective levels of effort
will radiate an influence which may make it possible to request and receive
cooperation from others within the group whose development and karma places
them in the position of being available to form the other two petals. Now, there is
one other point that I wish to make which may seem somewhat unrelated to that
which has preceded it. As a focal point for the reception and transmission of the
Energy of Synthesis, the center assumes, as a part of its function, a new
assignment in the very near future. The center is to be made available to any and
all disciples functioning anywhere in the world within any particular group effort in
service to the Divine Plan for hu1194
Petals, The
manity, as a subjective focal point within the body of humanity, through which the
Energy of Synthesis can be invoked into their specific service efforts. The
information regarding this function is in the process of being made available to
others working in the field, and such information will find its own (so to speak) in a
relatively short period of time. A meditation form and an alignment are being given
to all disciples to use in their efforts to use the center if they so choose. This, of
course, means that the necessity for a 24-hour focus of spiritual force, both in
reception and distributing, be maintained. For the center may be called upon at
any time during a 24-hour period by any disciple anywhere in the world for
additional aid in his particular effort. Personnel will find a subjective response to
these calls and will find it necessary in some way to account for this additional
function, both within their meditation effort and within their own higher and lower
alignment throughout the 24-hour a day period. In other words, there will be an
effect upon both consciousness and instrumentality as this gets underway. In
some instances, such a use of the center will be made known to you. In many
more instances, your only knowledge of it will be subjective. This, again,
necessitates the function of the petals in the quickest possible time. For the petal
personnel will bear the greatest brunt of this part of the center function, as it is
they who will receive the initial impact of the invocative appeal as well as carry
the energy invoked into contact with those who have asked for it. The effect, at
this Wesak (of the new impact of energy to be released), is that if you are only
functioning with one 1195
Petals, The
or two petals, those who are functioning would simply have to carry a greater
burden of energy. It is likely that there will be those in other areas, other centers,
who will correspond with the center, simply telling them what they are doing and
what the effects of the relationships have been. As far as the Spokane area is
concerned, they will be carrying out the same subjective function with you and will
experience very much the same effects, both in growth and in service activity. The
meditation of the nucleus and each of the petals formed will be coordinated so
that you will all be working together. The functions already established will be
expanded somewhat, and new functions will be added as it is possible to do so. I

am sorry. I am not permitted at this particular time to release the eventual number
of petals within the center structure, but there will be more than four. I wish to
repeat some instruction projected to the nucleus a short time ago, and to expand
upon that. The new Center of Synthesis, which is one of several ashramic
objectifications being established in the mountainous regions of Canada, the
United States, and South America, has behind it a long-range plan which those
disciples working with it at this time should endeavor to grasp and understand.
These centers will be required to take the burden of objectified Hierarchial effort
from those centers now carry1196
Petals, The
Petals, The
Petals, The
Petals, The
Petals, The
Petals, The
the shift of polarization within the body of humanity. This is not an unexpected
development. Those centers were established as the focal point of Hierarchial
effort to serve the evolving human consciousness until it reached a certain point
of development. That point of development is, relatively speaking, with us now
and this shift has to be made. Regarding the requirements or space needed for
the center facilities, do not forget that whatever is done now can always be
expanded. You certainly will not begin with the facilities, even so far as the
amount of land is concerned, and it is possible that you could even relocate in the
given area several times before the end of the century. Establishing the center is
one of the major impulses now moving from the ashramic center into the group
life. I shall complete the instruction to be projected at this particular time regarding
the petal function in relationship to that of the nucleus. By the actual time of this
next New Moon, the center will be called upon from several different focal points
within the world of affairs for aid. I should like then to see at least the first petal
begin to function with some measure of effectiveness at that time. The function of
the second petal must of course wait upon some little training of the personnel
involved. I have requested a meeting during the New Moon period of all nucleus
and petal personnel within which to project the coordinated meditation form to be
used by them during the lunar cycle. That form must of necessity be somewhat
less than what would originally be projected 1202
Petals, The
to center personnel in order to fit the consciousness and skills of those individuals
who have not had center training. Therefore, I am going to ask the nucleus and
the three of you who will be forming the first petal, to add to the higher alignment
given, the triangle of the overshadowing Christ, the Planetary Logos, and the
Avatar of Synthesis. At the same time, add to the lower alignment the devic
structure of your own instrumentality including the individual auras integrated to
form a group aura. The next phase or stage of the building of the center and its

function will emphasize the creation of a dynamic auric influence within the world
of affairs. The building up, and I might add, the charging of the aura, will have its
effect upon the individual group membership as well and their environment,
individual and collective. You as the Conscious Soul Incarnate, will be invoking
into your aura the high frequencies of the Ashram, creating a dynamic auric
influence. I realize that very little instruction has been projected, previously,
regarding this subject. However, you have received enough instruction in the past
regarding other related subjects, and you have undergone enough growth and
development within your consciousness to enable you to quickly relate to this
aspect of your equipment as you begin to use it. The aura is that part of the
instrumentality through which the devic life within the three worlds of human
endeavor, including the de
Petals, The
within the instrumentality itself and within the environment insofar as the
relationship of the consciousness to the devic evolution is concerned. Because it
is necessary to focus attention upon this part of the building effort at the same
time that some petal personnel will be undergoing training, particularly in
subjective function, I must confine the instruction regarding the creation of the
auric influence to those of you who are ready to receive it, and at the same time,
depend upon you to carry forward the necessary work silently, while at the same
time, including those members in the effects of the work even though they will not
be consciously working with it at this time. There are then certain basic concepts
regarding the aura that I wish to project at this time and ask you to apply them
when the instruction is projected to the total center personnel. But, do not ask
questions regarding this subject at the time of that meeting. Please, do not refer
to the subject in the presence of others. The first concept and one which you all
know to a greater or lesser degree is that the aura is in itself magnetically
attractive. That which enters into the center system is attracted into that center
system by the activity and according to the frequency, tone, and color of the aura
itself. For instance, you fill your aura with that which is the essential radiation of
you as an individual focus of consciousness incarnate within the three-fold
instrumentality. According to the tone, the color, and the frequencies carried in the
aura, so do you attract into not only experience, but into your awareness via the
center system, impacts of various kinds.
Petals, The
The aura can be filled with energies of almost any kind insofar as their relation to
the human kingdom, and consciously or unconsciously, the individual, the
incarnate individual, calls upon those energies as they are needed or demanded
by his reactive mechanisms. The Rain Cloud of Knowable Things, to the
disciple, is but a part of the aura. At this time, the nucleus and the petals are
given the responsibility of charging the group aura, individually and collectively,
with the spiritual (and I am using this term with deliberation) energies which are
the basic content of that which is referred to as soul infusion. Now this may seem
very basic indeed and elementary, but it is not. Pull into the auranot the
instrumentality specificallythe Spiritual Light (which is remember, the creative

light), Spiritual Love, and the Spiritual Power of the Overshadowing Spiritual Soul
within the Ashram, charging the aura with these characteristics, those qualities
and these frequencies. You may, if you wish to turn your attention to it, at any time
during the daily routine, utilize any one or more of these basic characteristics,
qualities, and frequencies in your activities. But do concentrate your attention as
often as possible upon the filling of the aura, individually and collectively, with
them, until you become consciously aware of the actual presence around you as
a part of your equipment, like an outer skin, so to speak, but with depth. Visualize
the aura extending at least six feet around you in the beginning. You may realize
first that the devic structure of the aura includes the devic life of all kingdoms in
nature, for it is the emanation of that substance which has cohered into your
particular form or instrument. 1205
Petals, The
Petals, The
Petals, The
quality, that spiritual frequency, and that spiritual characteristic, which is
necessary to the vehicle of the Conscious Soul Incarnate. Now there is only one
other technique that I shall give you at this time in relationship to the aura, this
because I consider that you have earned it and because it can be of use not only
to yourselves, but to the overall group life and to every individual with whom you
come in contact. This is to at least once a day (and you do not have to do this in
deep mediation) merely turn your attention to it. Align with the Seventh Ray
Aspect of the Ashram and via that alignment, pull into the aura healing energy
which can be called upon by the instrumentality at any time there is need, and
which can be directed outward to those who may have need of it whether they are
aware of it or not. It can be directed through any center which corresponds with
the area of difficulty which the individual is experiencing. It can be directed
through the hands or simply by thought as a radiatory action. The meeting does
not have to be at the actual time of the New Moon, but within a 7-day period after
the New Moon. Actually, I should prefer that the meeting be held at Estes. The
determination of its time will have to wait for word from those in Denver who may
or may not accept the assignment of the petal function. As soon as it is known, as
soon as their decision is known or has been stated, then you may work together
to determine the most convenient time for the meeting. At the time of that meeting
I shall ask the nucleus and 1208
Petals, The
the petal personnel to concentrate upon receiving from the ashramic group soul
into the group aura those energies to which I have referred as the initiation of this
stage of the center building. Realize that you are building a devic structure and
that to a very great degree the outer physical manifestation of the center itself will
be determined, qualified, etc., by this work which you will be doing. For according
to the auric influence will be the outer physical manifestation of the center itself.
Now, remember, this cannot be referred to verbally at that time, but do focus the
attention upon the group aura, align with it, with the ashramic group life and be

aware of the release of Spiritual Light, Love, and Power from the Ashramic Group
Life into the aura. First, I would like to remind you that this particular cycle was
one in which certain trends were initiated. Therefore, its influence and effects in
ordered manifestation will continue over a long period of time. Not only will they
continue but they will manifest in lesser cycles of intensive oppositional activity.
Insofar as the group movement through the cycle, more was accomplished than
could have been expected (I did not say than was expected). Certainly much was
accomplished of which you have no awareness, and yet as your awareness
expands you will note certain changes in your condition and circumstance as well
as personal relationships you will be able to relate back to the cycle itself.
Actually, the group underwent during this cycle the most severe test that it has
ever had to face, a test which is not completed and will not be through the rest of
this incarnation, and in moving through the initiation of this particular kind of
testing, did arrive, each in his own individual way, at a point of development and
stability far 1209
Petals, The
Petals, The
Petals, The

Petals, The
you study and meditate, reflect, upon the instruction, making every effort to
understand it and in that understanding, to embody it. It would be of great benefit
to the ashram with which you are affiliated and to the work itself if this center
could begin to make right use of its economy by making the most (if I may use
such terms) of that instruction and training which it receives. I should like to set a
precedent insofar as the overall group is concerned: that it be unnecessary at any
time in the future for Me to repeat instruction already projected at one of these
meetings. I am most pleased to answer your questions when they are apropos
and when they do not necessitate a repetition of that which has already been
projected. This one very small step would do much in the establishing from the
onset of a right economy within this center effort. Before I proceed with the
instruction, I wish to announce that I cannot release the Energy of Synthesis in
the quantity and quality hoped for to the center at this time nor until there can be
a full meeting of the nucleus and all members of the petals. It requires at least
three individualsthat is a triangleof disciples to actually constitute one petal.
Until there are two full petals present, then, I am not permitted to release the
energy. I shall, however, take advantage of this opportunity, projecting vital
instruction regarding center function and the functions of both the nucleus and the
petals. I shall also project the meditation techniques to be used. You can begin
them immediately in preparation for that time when the full amount of the energy
will be released. We will set a period during the Full Moon for the release of the
energy. I shall leave it to you to arrange that meeting at your time, your
convenience, insofar as time and location are concerned. 1213
Petals, The

Petals, The
with all of this to which they have responded. They are a center, an outpost within
the three worlds of human endeavor. That is, the mental, the astral-emotional,
and the etheric-physical, an outpost of that ashram with which they are affiliated
spiritually. A center is constituted of a nucleus and a certain number of petals,
depending upon its particular function. That is, the number of petals depends
upon its particular function. The nucleus and the petals each have a specific
function which is vital to the perfect function of the center as a whole, and it is
herein where the problem of the overall group, in this instance, lies. And it is
herein where much work must be done. Try to grasp these principles which are
based on facts in nature what we might call spiritual facts in nature. First, the
center as a total is a one life. It is composed of a number, several or many
(whichever the case may be), of inter-related and integrated functions. Each
function is specific and highly specialized, just as is the case with any organized
form. When one unit, which can be one disciple or several, whichever the case
may be, is functioning, the one life of that center is carrying out that particular
function. In other words, when the eyes see, it is the one life of the incarnate
consciousness which is seeing through those eyes. Now this is vitally important. It
is a basic principlea spiritual fact in nature. When it is grasped and understood,
it makes possible right relationship of function, regardless of personality
difference, personality reactions, etc. It eliminates pride, ambition, jealousy, and
all of those human factors which can enter in, which can hinder and delay the
spiritual work if they are permit1215
Petals, The
ted to do so. The functions of the nucleus and the petals are differentthey are
specific, and each is vital to the perfect function of the center as a whole. When
the nucleus is functioning, the one life of the center is functioning through it. This
includes that one life which is also a part of the petals. When the petals are
functioning, the one life of the center is functioning through those petals. This
includes the one life of the nucleus. It is the job (if I may use this term) of the
nucleus to hold the alignment with the Avatar of Synthesis through a number of
focal points which have been given to it, and to bring into a focus within the three
worlds of human endeavor the energy released by the Avatar of Synthesis to the
center. This is the function of the nucleus. This is its primary function. It is the
function of the petals to appropriate, to receive, that energy which has been
brought into a focus by the nucleus, and to make it available to humanity via
whatever is its particular relationship with humanity. In other words, that petal
which is directly aligned with government will take the energy brought into focus
by the nucleus, and will direct it into the life and affairs of both the government
and that group which is actually, in essence, the world government, using those
techniques which have been given to it. Now, these two functions are specific.
They are clearly defined. If the nucleus functions as it should, it cannot move from
its function to direct energy out into the body of humanity. I want this clearly
understood, for it is in the misunderstanding and the misinterpretation of 1216
Petals, The

those functions that constant difficulty arises insofar as group relationships are
concerned. The nucleus must be constantly, steadily, 24 hours a day, receptive
and, more than receptive, receiving, invoking, this Energy of Synthesis via its
higher alignment. If it turns its attention outwardly into the body of humanity to
government or to education, or to any one of the other departments of human
living, it immediately shifts in frequency. It immediately loses something of its
particular alignment, and is then not fulfilling its specific function. Now the same
applies to the petals. The petals have to take that energy and, via their alignment
with and through whatever department of activity they are related with humanity,
they have to step the energy received down to just that frequency, that quality,
and they must give it to humanity in the quantity that particular humanity can
receive, so that the petals have to be, in their particular function, moving
outwardly, aligned with the humanitythe incarnate humanityin whatever
particular department they are relatedconstantly receiving the energy and
tuning it down according to the frequency, the quality indicated by their recipients.
The nucleus would not do the world service meditations in the same way. In other
words, they will be working with the energy and the concept in its general, its
abstract, its universal aspect, not into specifics. The moment that the nucleus
moves from this function, it is not fulfilling the function. There will be a formal,
regular meditation to do every day and an attitude to be carried throughout the 24
1217
Petals, The
hours, as the personnel are able, as they, in their own growth and development,
are able to carry such an attitude. Now I should like to try, at this particular time,
to eliminate, insofar as possible, possible misinterpretations, misunderstandings,
and conflicts regarding this difference of function. Every disciple in the center or in
the group carries his own higher alignment. Every disciple attends to that higher
alignment. Every disciple is aligned with: the center of the ashram with which he
is affiliated, the Overshadowing Christ, and as much of the One Life as he can
take into his consciousness or that he is aware of. This does not in any way
delete from that fact, insofar as the petals are concerned. Every disciple works
from his own higher alignment in whatever function he is endeavoring to carry
out. These functions are service functions. It is the function of the nucleus to bring
into itself whatever of source, of consciousness, of frequency, energy, etc., is
possible to the total groupto the total humanity which that group serves. This is
its function. The petals, then, according to their relationship within the body of
humanity, take that which is brought into focus and they then give it in whatever
form, in whatever frequency, is most beneficial to humanity. It is automatic as a
result of the ability of petal personnel to become one with the soul of that
humanity through which they are serving the total humanity. In other words, we
will take as an example, the first petal whose work will be with the government
with the de1218
Petals, The
partment of government. Now, the first assignment that the petal will receive will
have to do with the channeling of the Energy of Synthesis to the President of the

United States and his cabinet as a group. By becoming at-one with the
consciousness (both that which overshadows and the incarnate consciousness of
this group), petal personnel will automatically step down the energy to whatever
frequency might be necessary at any given moment. They will then, after this has
been done, in the same meditation, turn their attention to international
governmentthe right growth and development of international governmentof
international law. And as they do so, they will be receptive from within this larger
group, to callsthey may be conscious; they may be unconscious. They may be
simply demands which are a result of what is happening at any particular time in
the world. They will be receptive to impressions regarding the needs of humanity
in this particular department at any given time. As they receive such impression
as they become aware of the demand being made upon themthey will become
one with the consciousness involved, both that which overshadows and that
which indwells, and they will then, in so doing, step the energy down to whatever
frequency is needed at that particular time and in that given situation. Suppose a
member of the nucleus group is also receptive to the demandsthe problem
involved here is a problem for both nucleus and petals. It is a problem of
discipline, a different kind of discipline than any which you have experienced in
the past. Spiritual function necessitates certain sacrifices. I know as well as you
that for the nucleus to turn its attention away from the specific de1219
Petals, The
mands of humanity in various departments of human living is going to be
extremely difficult, particularly for some members of the nucleus. It is going to
constitute a real sacrifice and a real discipline. And yet, in order to perform the
assigned function, the personnel must be one-pointed. It will be just as much a
problem and just as difficult for the nucleus as it will be for any one of the petals,
and perhaps more so. For the nucleus will have to detach from specifics in order
to perform and fulfill its function. The only impressions would be those which
involve humanity as a whole, a totality, and which did not necessitate the specific
directional movement of energy. Because, you see, it is not the function of the
nucleus to set the energy into its directional movement, it is the function of the
petals to set the energy into its directional movement, within the body of humanity
and to give it its specific impress. Primarily I am referring to those members of the
nucleus and the petals who are present in the area. Primarily I am referring to the
petal personnel, because their function will, in the beginning, be perhaps a little
more difficult and will demand at least a triangle of disciples within each petal
functioning. This is to insure not only the right reception of the energiesand its
right direction, movement, channeling through the centerbut also the
instrumental safety of all of those involved. As far as physical activity is
concerned, it would be only insofar as petal personnel are able to create, on a
discipleship level, in Divine Law and Order, those activities which are in harmony
with the Plan and particularly with their particular function, and which, then, serve
the function itself. 1220
Petals, The
I should like to reassure you regarding your sense of inadequacy which is only

natural. You will be given only that which you are able to do and that service will
be as vitally important to the service function of the total center as will be the
service of any other one of the members. If a disciple chooses to withdraw from
petal function, then another disciple will have to be found to take his place before
the petal can come into its function. The means of transference to be used
between the nucleus and the petals will be clearly indicated in the meditation
technique. Remember, as I said in the beginning, any function actually is an
expression of the One Life through that particular function. Petal personnel and
nucleus personnel will be functioning in a very close subjective relationship as a
one life. The transference will then be automatic as they achieve that at-onement
in meditation. The difference will be that the focus of one function will be in one
direction and the focus of the other in another direction. But they will be
functioning as one life. It is possible that one member may be unable to function
or refuse to function. At this particular time it is not possible for another member
to fill in the gap because there are not enough center personnel to fulfill the
functions adequately in such a manner. As the center functions more perfectly,
more effectively, it will attract into itself those who can function in one or another
function, and those who can function in such a manner as to be ready to respond
to whatever need may be manifesting within the center (functionally) at any given
time. We are confronted at this time with a very definite problem which we are
endeavoring to work out. 1221
Petals, The
The center is constituted of a nucleus, petals (the final number of which I cannot
release to you at this particular time), and its radiatory or auric energy. Do not
forget that the aura of the center is a function just as that of a petal or a nucleus,
and this will be the constitution of this center. The concept of cooperative
leadership has been behind and overshadowing all of this instruction. There is
one other point that I wish to re-emphasize and this has to do with the relationship
between the spiritual function in the subjective sense, and the outer objective
physical plane activities within which all of you are engaged every day. Any act in
which you are engaged which involves thought, feeling, and physical action can
be a vehicle which not only carries, but also releases to its destination, the energy
and the concept of your spiritual function. Now this is a very important concept
because it brings to you the realization that your outer, physical activity is, in
reality, as important as the inner subjective activity. In other words, if you are
going through the motions of driving an automobile, of talking or conversing with
someone in business, any act in which you are engaged which incorporates
thought, feeling, and physical action can be a vehicle for the channeling and the
release of the energy and the concept wh
Petals, The
(because they constitute motion, they incorporate motion, sound, color, etc.) can
then be (if you can come to this understanding) the outer instrument and
evidence of your function as white magicians. The overall group who are not
actually in the center function do not constitute the aura. They cannot be
identified as aura because they have not consciously taken up such a function. To

function in any specific function, one must consciously and with intent do so.
Insofar as the value of this information is concerned, yes, the information
regarding center function would be valuable to all members of the group and
might perhaps aid in resolving some of the problems insofar as group
relationships are concerned, of the overall group life. Therefore, you have My
permission to make this available to themnot the technical instruction, but the
general information. An example of how spiritual function is directed into outer
acts would be the act of selling a piece of merchandise to a customer. While his
spiritual function as petal personnel is specifically related to the field of education
and is to channel into the field of education and into the disciples within that field
the Energy of Synthesis along with whatever concepts may be presented at any
particular time, those two activities would seem to be completely separated one
from the other. Yet, if, as he handles his merchandise, as he relates with the devic
life of his environment (his store), as he relates with the soul of the individual (the
customer), if he aligns this activity which involves thought, feeling, and physical
action, and therefore devic life, if he aligns this with that spiritual function which is
his, then the energy of the func1223
Petals, The
tion naturally is carried into the activity in which he is engaged. And that activity
becomes a vehicle for the Energy of Synthesis. The merchandise itself receives
the energy. It does not hold it; it carries it. The physical motion which he is
engaged in releases the energy into the etheric network. The customer, as a soul,
is touched by the energy, affected by it, and his instrumentality, the devic life of
his instrumentality, carries that energy. Now remember, his instrumentality does
not hold it; it carries it. Then, as the customer moves into his environment, he is
carrying the energy. So then will others within his environment automatically carry
it, and so it moves out into and through the body of humanity. Because the
directional movement of the attention of the nucleus is inward and upward, it does
not have the same effect; but insofar as a radiatory effect, it does have its
application. I am going to project at this time a preliminary meditation technique
which will aid nucleus personnel and center personnel in establishing that right
subjective relationship, particularly of function, and, I shall add, of brotherhood,
which will facilitate the reception and distribution of the new release of Synthesis
to be made when the nucleus and the first two petals have come into an
integrated function which makes such release possible. Now you realize that
while I am referring to a release of energy to be made, this does not mean that
there is not energy being received, that there is not need for the function of the
center nucleus and petals, prior to the release of a higher frequency of Synthesis,
a more potent, a more dynamic energy, and in greater quantity as well as a
somewhat different quality than that which 1224
Petals, The
has been released previously. So that as you proceed with this meditation
technique that I am giving you now, realize that while it is in a sense a preliminary
to something close, it is also at the same time a necessity of the moment insofar
as service is concerned. One other point before I direct the meditation technique.

As I stated previously in another meeting, the center is already established in the

frequencies of the mental, the astral, and the etheric bodies. The fact of its
establishment has been made known to other disciples functioning in other
groups in the field of human endeavor. These other disciples have already begun
to draw upon the center for the Energy of Synthesis. They are not great in
number, but they are making a demand upon the center; and such a demand
should be considered, particularly by petal personnel as well as by the whole
center, as we proceed. The meditation will contain, will incorporate, both forms
used in the initial or the beginning stages of discipleship and some more
advanced forms for the convenience of all center personnel. And now if you will
prepare for meditation please. Become physically relaxed and comfortable,
considering the physical vehicle as a part of the vehicle of the soul. Become
emotionally calm and serene, considering the emotional body as another part of
the vehicle, the instrument of the soul. Become mentally poised and alert,
considering the mental body and its emanation, the mind, as another part of the
instrument or vehicle of the soul.
Petals, The
Petals, The
The nucleus personnel focusing their attention upon their particular alignment
with the Avatar of Synthesis, bringing that energy into a focus, endeavoring to
reflect it perfectly. The first petal focusing its attention upon the President of the
United States and his Cabinet, appropriating the Energy of Synthesis and
directing it into that particular group to manifest the Divine Plan for humanity in
the daily happenings, the daily events, the daily activities of the United States
Government. The second petal focusing its attention to the department of
education, channeling the Energy of Synthesis to that group of educators who are
aligned with the Divine Plan for humanity, the energy to manifest the Divine Plan
for humanity in the working out of new educational procedures to be put into
effect within the public school system in the United States. The first petal
focusing its attention to the United Nations, directing the Energy of Synthesis into
this vehicle to manifest the Divine Plan for humanity in the working out of
international relationships and the formulating of international law. The second
petal focusing its attention into the Vatican in Rome, channeling the Energy of
Synthesis into the Roman Catholic Church to manifest the Divine Plan for
humanity through the activities of the Roman Catholic Church. All petal personnel
focusing their attention into the overall group life, directing the Energy of
Synthesis 1227

into group relationships to manifest the Divine Plan for humanity in the working
out of right group relationships... . All petal personnel directing the Energy of
Synthesis into the devic life of the overall group to manifest right relationship of
every part to every other part, and the central directing life of the ashram, the
Christ.... Sound the O.M. Gradually refocus the attention within your own
instrumentality, and as the Conscious Soul Incarnate, flood the mental body with

light, the astral body with love, the etheric body with spiritual power, revitalizing it,
re-energizing it, pouring the three energies, light, love, and spiritual power into
your environment and your sphere of influence... Gradually, now, relax the
attention and return to the normal focus. Now I shall ask that, in the typing of this
meditation technique, every one receive the meditation as dictated, and that in
addition to this, if you will, the separate steps of the petal personnel be given
each one according to his particular function, so that every one will have a copy
of the entire meditation and a copy of his particular assignment in addition.
Certainly, as you become familiar with your functions, as you move into them, you
are going to be receptive to impressions, particularly petal personnel will be
receptive to impressions having to do with specific needs in 1228
Petals, The
your particular departments of human endeavor. In other words, the second petal
will become receptive, increasingly so, to impressions from the field of education,
of science and of religion, which have to do with specific needs of humanity in
these three areas. As you do become receptive to these impressions, simply
direct the energy to fulfill the need by manifesting the Divine Plan for humanity
within that specific need. I would like to point out that the Energy of Synthesis is a
blending, a synthesis of all seven rays, but with a predominance of First, Second,
and Seventh, into an energy, a potent, dynamic energy, which in its devic
construction is the precipitating agent of the Divine Plan for humanity in specific
happenings, in specific events, situations, and circumstances. In other words, as
this energy is directed into a specific situation, a specific circumstance or
happenings, or event, a new order of devas who are the precipitating agents for
the Divine Plan for humanity immediately go to work within that situation, within
that circumstance, within that happening, to work out in Divine Law and Order
and with Grace, the situation, so that it is a manifestation of the Divine Plan for
humanity, so that it is aiding the spiritual growth and development of the
consciousness, not only involved within the situation, within the circumstance or
the happening, but the consciousness of humanity as a wholeso that the
energy is a potent, dynamic factor in the speeding up of the evolutionary
development of humanity, and is the working out of humanity's problems during
this critical period in the evolution. You are free, all of you, to focus this energy
into any situation, circumstance or happening which demands your attention. This
applies to your personal, your busi1229
ness lives, as well as to your field of spiritual activity. It applies to petal personnel
more generally than to nucleus personnel. It applies to nucleus personnel only in
those situations, circumstances, and happenings which are within your immediate
sphere of influence, or your immediate field of activity. It certainly applies to your
personal life and affairs. It is important the nucleus personnel accept the ability of
petal personnel to fulfill their part of the function of the center. Do not forget,
humanity is not only a total composed of many, but it is also an entity, a life which
is focused into every human being, that humanity you meet within every individual
with whom you come into contact. And now I consider that I have given you quite
enough at this particular time. Certainly as much as you can absorb and put to

use between now and the next time we meet. Please arrange for a meeting at the
Full Moon, and if petal personnel will please give particular attention to that part
of the meditation which focuses the energy into the overall group life and intergroup relationships. This is, at this particular time, almost more important than the
other work which you will be doing.68

overall group life. It is responsible for the circulation of Soul energy throughout the
group. The Head Center focuses that Overshadowing Soul in. The Heart Center
circulates the field of spiritual relationships within the overall group life which is its

They become focal points for the circulation of the three major centers. We have
our Seventh Ray energy petals in the head center that are directly related with
the Throat Center and bring into our group Seventh Ray energy from the Throat
Center, etc.
