2006 - 2007 The Activation of The Energy of Planetary Will
This paper explores the impact and working through of the Shamballa energy within the planetary life against a background context of cosmology and the Trans Himalayan teachings. The significance of the upcoming conjunction between Pluto and the Galactic Centre will be analysed and some practical suggestions offered for the group use of the energies that will become available during the time of this transit.
What little we know of the purpose of our planetary Logos involves the working out of an aspect of the Will of the Solar Logos. This is carried out in conjunction with the the Logoi of two other planets - Vulcan and Pluto and will come to fruition in the third solar system. (1)
We might express the relationship between these three planetary Logoi of Will as follows
Pluto - Ray 1 Personality
Vulcan Ray 1 Soul
Earth Ray 1 Monad
A visual of the synthetic operation of the three astrological symbols for these planets gives some hint to their joint operation once they are fused.
We might say that Vulcan symbolises the descent of the will of the soul to the base chakra, pluto symbolises the rising of kundalini energy to the crown and the earth symbolises the fusion of these two energies - shiva and shakti within the heart. These three chakras are those used by the political workers and the first ray.
The Shamballa impact that occurred during Wesak 2000 can be related to the impacting energy of the planetary crown centre and the planet Vulcan. When we examine what lies ahead for the year 2007, seven years after the impact we notice that the planet pluto is prominently placed in the cosmological sky. It moves into a conjunction with the galactic centre at 27 degrees Sagittarius over a prolonged period. This conjunction occurs only once every 248 years or so and this will be the first time such a conjunction has occurred within the consciousness of humanity - by that I mean that Pluto was only discovered in 1930 and so while the conjunction took place previously humanity was not aware of it and so could not respond consciously to the energies it represents.
The Significance of the Galactic Centre
In another paper ( www.shamballaschool.org/Aquari...ce.htm) I have outlined the significance of the black hole at the galactic centre ( the existence of which was confirmed by scientists in the year 2000 ) coming into the consciousness of humanity as a symbol during the entry into the Aquarian Age. Briefly, if the planet represents a personality circling around the soul ( Sun ), the black hole is the Sun of the Sun the Dark Sun or the monadic point around which our Solar system orbits. Intervening 'larger suns' within the galaxy - for example Sirius or Alcyone which have been mentioned in the esoteric teachings as centres with which our Solar Logos is related - are seen as intermediary relating points ( cosmic ashramic affiliations if you like ) between the Solar Lord and His monadic source.
A physical alignment between the galactic centre, our sun and the planet earth therefore represents on the physical plane an alignment between the planetary, solar and cosmic logoi or worded another way between the personality, soul and monad of the earth.
To place this alignment in context we might recall that the Logos of Earth is in the process of taking the second cosmic initiation. (2) At the second initiation on the human level a monadic 'touch' is required in order to subdue the astral elemental while at the third initiation it is the energy of the monad which releases the kundalini energy fully and allows for its rising and the resulting fusion of shakti and shiva - base and crown.
While the completion of the second cosmic initiation will probably have to wait for the next round and the full activation of the base centre of earth is far in the future we might look for a fractal or holographic activation appropriate to the time and space evolution of our Logos. We should also remember that the kundalini energy is always active providing as it does the vitalising impulse for the personality expression of the planetary life.
If we take the perspective of the Solar Logos, we understand that the third cosmic initiation is His goal. (3) If we imagine the earth as a base centre within the solar system then the importance of this planet as a source of solar kundalini becomes apparent. Once again we must wait for the next system for the will function of earth to be fully unfolded.
Not only do we have an alignment between the galactic centre, sun and earth but the planets mercury, vulcan and jupiter are also intimately involved in a conjunction which occurs in December 2007. Here is a heliocentric visual from the Nasa Solar System Simulator for Dec 23 2007. The galactic centre lies in the direction of Pluto.

Brief Interpretation
One interpretation is that through an activation of the the planetary kundalini a fusion or synthesis can potentially occur between the planetary mind and planetary heart or between the NGWS and Hierarchy.
Planetary kundalini has an outer correspondence to the fiery energies of the earth's core and to disturbances in the earth's crust as a result of tectonic, volcanic and geological activity. We have already witnessed a number of potent activations recently - the most significant being the tsunami on boxing day 2005 ( see www.shamballaschool.org/mercur...qua.htm ) The Tibetan informs us that the flow of will through the NGWS is intended to be a constructive force that offsets the destructive energies of the first ray and when the power is released it has the potential to "heal the wounds of humanity and bind all men together in a planned synthesis" (4)
In the life of the disciple it is easy to observe that when potent spiritual energies are not drawn off and worked with by the consciousness they often flow through into physical plane symptoms. Humanity as the planetary disciple has a unique opportunity to use the cosmic energies available during the coming conjunction to result in a fusion of consciousness.
Pluto is in Sagittarius and this conjunction with the galactic centre provides the possibility for a clearing away of obstacles to the synthesis of human thought as represented in global ideologies, religions and philosophical traditions. We know that catharsis and war are one way that Pluto can work in order to purify the field and clear obstacles however in the life of the disciple Pluto's arrow can be used for upliftment and healing.
Purification of Consciousness
Prior to Pluto's movement into Capricorn and the clearing away of the obstacles to global governance and international law, we have the need for a purification and synthesis of the global ideologies which underpin and out picture as our systems of justice. These systems are primarily based on the materialised concept of man as a physical being and the preservation of the physical vehicle - human and planetary as their primary goal. Pluto invites us to confront death and reorder our values and priorities in the face of immortality. At this point in time there is great difficulty in the planet coming to a consensus about global governance issues as there is a real reluctance to yield sovereignty to any body that is tainted with self interest - material or ideological. The only government that will be ultimately acceptable is Hierarchy and prior to this the initiates of the world as the Externalisation takes place in this time of the forerunner. The recognition of the reality and value of the spiritual world will come about partially as a result of the failure of the material personality world of Humanity to provide solutions to the deeper human imperatives. In the face of the increased and inexorable tension that Pluto brings ( and perhaps also in the face of real or expected outer crises ) Humanity will be turning towards those who can offer the real and timeless solutions to the human problems and who are able to hold their alignments amidst the chaos.
This process will result in a purification of the consciousness of humanity and a healing of the gap between the material and spiritual world views. We can see this occurring all around us if we have the eyes to see.
What Can Servers Do ?
The New Group of World Servers. in working with the energy of the Will can adopt the asana of surrender. It is not up to us to wield the Will but to have it work through us. Surrender is not submission and involves an opening to be used, a willingness to allow whatever needs to be purified in our own system to be purified, and a decision to stand unmoved in alignment with the higher inflowing energies no matter what transpires on the outer plane. It may also be important to remember that while Will may be focused through a mental proposition concerning purpose, individual or planetary, it is not that mental proposition. Therefore any fixed ideas or fixed ideologies will come under increasing pressure to be released as the living energy of planetary purpose purifies all its 'containers' shattering some and transforming others. The new thought forms that will bring in the new civilisation will also be built and vitalised.
Perhaps most significantly we can provide a model for the energies of healing, brotherhood and synthesis at work in our group life. The energy of Pluto acts to 'sweep away'. The lower unsolarised energies rise up and over-power the consciousness because, being will, they are more powerful than consciousness - even the consciousness of the soul. If the consciousness reaches through to the higher will however, to vulcan or deeper to the monad - it can stand unmoved while the purification work is taking place. If we are able to do this in our own lives and in our group life, then - and only then will we be able to truly assist those who have been swept into the plutonic turmoil or who are struggling to hold their alignment. We become then a group 'source of strength, enabling them to stand" (5)
The Liberation Of Money
Pluto means 'wealth' in Latin and Greek and one of the likely effects of the coming pluto transit is the liberation of money to the work of the Hierarchy. Money represents the concretised energies of love upon the etheric/physical plane and this energy must rise to meet the descending energies of the planetary soul as the Externalisation process takes place. It could be said the Humanity as a being has a relatively enlightened mind, an awakening heart, but a closed wallet. We know that the proper sharing of the world's resources is necessary before the Reappearance can take place. There has also been considerable work done on the resolution of Humanity's persistent problems - for example poverty and hunger. The research has been done, the critical plan to resolve the issue has been made and costed out. Governments all over the world have even made the pledges for the money needed to implement the plan. What remains is the Will to actually make the pledged money available and to carry through with the implementation. Humanity must demonstrate to Hierarchy that it is capable, through the right appropriation of the energy of planetary purpose of solving those problems which it has created itself through the misuse of energy. Then it must demonstrate humility in the face of those problems it cannot solve and invoke the aid of Hierarchy.
Conclusion
There are always opportunities occurring within the life of the individual and collective disciple. Astrologers and cosmologists are forever pointing out curious alignments and conjunctions that they claim represent significant shifts in the consciousness of Humanity. It should be remembered however that Humanity is a divine centre and is imbued with the power of free will. Opportunities and alignments come and go. What makes them potent and potentially decisive in the life of our planet is the conscious and willful cooperation of Humanity in the process of invocation and utilisation of the available energies. The conjunction of Pluto with the galactic centre has happened before but we have never been conscious of this transit. Consciousness provides us with the opportunity of choice. We cannot be responsible for the choices of the whole human centre but we can be responsible for our own and we can make others aware of the opportunity through education. It is said that an initiate is the cause of planetary evolution and not the result. ( RI p 61 ) Disciples can become a causal factor by willingly and consciously invoking the energies of pluto, the galactic centre and the planetary monad into their own lives. It is a transfiguring energy that sweeps away all obstacles and allows the energy of Planetary Purpose to pour through and restructure the planetary civilisation through destruction, purification and organisation - the three energies of Shamballa. The secret of the Pluto, the Lord of Death, is that in the heart of an awakened being He becomes an agent for healing and the entry into the world of Life More Abundant.
