Seven Spiritual Paths beyond this Planet

[paul]

In the Alice Bailey writings there are 7 spiritual paths that a human may take after graduation on this planet. Reading through them may spark recognition for some.

1. The Path of Earth Service.

This is the Path that keeps a man linked to the Hierarchy that is pledged to the service of our planet, and to the help of its evolutions. It comprises those who work under the Lord of the World in the seven groups into which our Masters of the Wisdom are divided. Not so many Masters follow this Path as some of the others, and only enough are permitted to do so to carry on planetary evolution satisfactorily. More is known about this path than about the others, and more will be found out as members of our humanity fit themselves to contact the Brotherhood. Their field of employ, Their methods of work, will eventually become exoteric knowledge, and as the seven groups are recognised and known, schools of development for the filling of posts in these groups will be the logical sequence

2. The Path of Magnetic Work.

Those who do the work of wielding forces, or electrical magnetism for the use of the Great Ones on all the planes, pass to this Path. They wield the elemental formative energy, manipulating matter of every density and vibration.

Great waves of ideas and surging currents of public opinion on astral levels, as well as on the higher levels where the Great Ones work, are manipulated by them. A large number of fifth ray people, those who have the Ray of Concrete Knowledge for their monadic ray, pass to this line of endeavour. The inherent quality in the type of the monad settles usually the line of activity. The karma of the fifth ray is one of the factors which produces this. These monads work with Fohat, and must, to the end of the greater manvantara. They have their eventual position on the cosmic mental plane, but as yet the capacity for abstract thought is so little developed that it is impossible for us to comprehend the significance of this expression.

[paul]

3. The Path of Training for Planetary Logoi.

This Path is trodden by those who will take up the work of the seven Planetary Logoi of the next system, and of the forty-nine sub-planetary Logoi, Their assistants, and of certain other Entities working in that particular department. There will be seven systems, though we are only concerned with the three major systems, of which our present system is the second major system. Each Chohan of a ray takes a certain number of initiates of the sixth initiation and trains them specially for this work; special aptitude in colour and sound predisposes the choice, and the ability to work with "psyche," or the spirits in evolution marks a man out for this high post. We might say that the Planetary Logoi are the divine psychologists, and therefore in the training for this post psychology is the basic subject, though it is a psychology inconceivable as yet to us. Every Planetary Logos has, in His own special planet, schools for the development of subordinate Logoi, and there trains Them for this high office, giving Them opportunity for wide experience. Even the Logoi Themselves progress onward, and Their places must be taken.

[paul]

4. The Path to Sirius.

Very little may be communicated about this Path, and the curiously close relation between it and the Pleiades can only be mentioned, further speculation being impossible. The bulk of liberated humanity goes this way, and the prospect holds out glorious possibilities. The seven stars of the Pleiades are the goal for the seven types, and this is hinted at in the Book of Job, in the words, "Canst thou bind the sweet influence of the Pleiades?" 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 our solar system.


Comment by Paul: Sirius is the Blazing/Flaming Star of Freemasonry so that the ladder on EA TB refers to this path.

[paul]

5. The Ray Path.

It is difficult to know by what other name to call this Path, as so little is known about it. In treading it, a man stays on his own ray, and works thereon in the various kingdoms on all the planes, carrying out the behests of the Lord of the World, and working under His direction. It carries a man to every part of the solar system, yet links him definitely with the synthetic ray. It is a very complex path, for it necessitates a capacity for the most intricate mathematics, and an ability to geometrise in a manner incomprehensible to our three-dimensional brains. This path is taken by the man to whom the law of vibration is of profound importance. He works first in the council chamber of the Lord of the World at Shamballa, manipulating the law of vibration on his own ray. Later he will have his habitat on the planet corresponding to his own ray, and not on the earth unless he is on the ray of the Planetary Logos holding sway upon the earth. Later again as his evolution progresses, he will pass to the sun; then having mastered all connected with vibration in this system he will pass to the cosmic system, going off his own ray (which is but a subsidiary ray of one cosmic ray), on to the corresponding cosmic ray.

[paul]

Just as the evolution of man in this system is fivefold, so in the above we have enumerated the principal five Paths from which a Master has to choose. The remaining two can only be touched upon still more briefly, for they hold but a very few of the evolving sons of men, owing to the high point of attainment necessitated for their entrance, and the fact that those who enter upon them pass out of the system altogether. They do not lead to Sirius, as do some of the other Paths. It will be noted that four groups remain in the system, passing eventually, in dim and distant aeons, to the cosmic planes. One group passes directly to Sirius, and the remaining two groups pass directly after initiation to the cosmic planes, with no period of intermediate work on earth, in the system, or on Sirius. These two Paths are:—

6. The Path the Logos Himself Is On.

It will have become apparent to all occult students who have studied with care the world processes in the light of the law of correspondences, that the Logos on the cosmic planes is evolving inner cosmic vision, just as man in his lesser degree is aiming at the same vision in the system. This might be called the development of the cosmic third eye. In the physical plane structure of the eye lies hid the secret and in its study may come some revelation of the mystery.

A certain part of the eye is the nucleus of sight, and the apparatus of vision itself; the remainder of the eye acts as a protecting shell, and both parts are required, and neither can exist without the other. So in this greater case, only the analogy exists on such high levels that words only blur and dim the truth. Certain of the sons of men, a nucleus who reached a very high initiation in the previous solar system, formed an esoteric group around the Logos when He decided upon further progress. In consequence He formed this system, cosmic desire for incarnation driving Him on. This esoteric group remains with the Logos on the atomic, or first plane of the system, on the subjective inner side, and it corresponds, in an occult sense, to the pupil of the eye. The real home of these great Entities is upon the cosmic buddhic plane.

Gradually, by dint of hard effort, certain Masters have qualified Themselves, or are qualifying Themselves, to take the place of the original members of the group, permitting of Their return to a cosmic centre around which our system, and the greater system of Sirius revolve. Only one adept here and there has the necessary qualifications, for it involves the development of a certain type of response to cosmic vibration. It means a specialising in the inner sight, and the development of a certain measure of cosmic vision. More of the deva evolution pass to this path than do the human. Human beings pass to it via the deva evolution, which can be entered by transference to the fifth Path, the ray Path. On this latter Path, the two evolutions can merge, and from the fifth Path the sixth can be entered.

[paul]

7. The Path of Absolute Sonship.

This Sonship is a correspondence on the highest plane to that grade of discipleship which we call "Son of the Master."

It is the Sonship to a Being higher than our Logos, of whom we may not speak. It is the great controlling Path of Karma. The Lipika Lords are on this Path, and all who are fitted for that line of work, and who are close to the Logos in a personal intimate sense, pass to the Path of absolute Sonship. It is the Path of the special intimates of the Logos, and into Their hands He has put the working out of karma in the solar system. They know His wishes, His will and His aim, and to Them He entrusts the carrying out of His behests. This group, associated with the Logos, forms a special group linked to a still higher Logos.

I have just re-read this thread - and as usual one particular path is deeply moving.

[paul]

>humans get here sorta hypergate ish From other spots

Perhaps 10% of humans on this planet are not part of the swarm of souls that was originally pushed in here.

>restarting after an galactic or planatery failure

Arguably the main swarm restarted here after Mars partly by physical transfer - as recounted by Herbert in Dune.

But the rest come from multiple sources. For example there are many nature spirits now in human form to learn human skills (voice and intent) in order to pass on to the angelic kingdom.

Other sources include adverse and helpful external groups.

External humans are more likely to be on one of the less common spiritual paths.

[fjrogers]

> External humans are more likely to be on one of the less common spiritual paths.

I think I could agree there. Frank Herbert is a very interesting writer. He's been mentioned a few times in The Writer's Centre, Adelaide

[paul]

>Great waves of ideas and surging currents of public opinion on astral levels... are manipulated by them.

It is interesting to identify various of those surging currents. Some of the more obvious ones are:

- developing pollution-free energy sources
- finding political structures that deliver for the bulk of the population
- establishing new social agreements about wealth, power and opportunity, nationally and internationally
- developing economic systems that are not easily corrupted
- developing ecologically responsible industrial cultures
- developing health systems and industries that are not easily corrupted
- developing communications systems and media industries that are directed towards proper development of human society.

The list goes on and on. What a remarkable time to be a participant.

[paul]

Yesterday I was in a small discussion group that I had been to a few times.

One of the women, out of nowhere, said that she thought I had devic substance.

Now if she had said that the day before I would have disagreed, but as it happened, earlier that morning I had had an interaction with a devic entity that seems to have an on-going connection to my mind. (I did various tests on the entity's energy and references before proceeding)

Anyway the entity suggested that I might like to increase the devic substance in my system and I agreed - and immediately performed another set of tests to determine the appropriateness of the new substance.

The new substance, initially, has made me more sensitive to the devic substance interpenetrating all of Existence. So I am more sensitive to the state of other entities including plants.

I am starting to wonder if I have actually made a decision that changes which of the 7 paths of this thread that I am on. Or perhaps I have moved to the next phase of the same path.

I am not sure how human I have been anyway.

I felt this one strongly.

I agree

It is good to get a sense of one's higher function.

[paul]

There is a local woman who, when she pushes her light body outwards, it easily goes out of this universe. She is new to this stuff but has several times expressed how pleased she is to have found her spiritual home - a long way out.

She sometimes appears in my meditation and occasionally gets involved in whatever I am doing.

So today she was presented with various helpers - one from the solar system and 4 from the galaxy. She is not experienced in these matters, so each of the would-be helpers was pushed in and out of her light body several times to test suitability. They all passed

When I see her in a few days I will show her what she has and help her direct them to appropriate tasks - some dealing with her 4 children

The other day I was looking at her and contemplating the Renaissance (rebirth) when European civilization was rescued from failure. I thought she was there, so tested her by asking her about the Renaissance. She responded with a long account of a French Renaissance artist of whom I had never heard - so I think that is a positive result on the test. I have another test for her that I will do in person

So I think she is one of the profound beings that incarnated as human to cause the Renaissance

[stewartedwards]

For me, this has been a difficult read. I read Bailey a decade or so ago, with thought, and frankly, while I was attuned to it, the language of rays and paths made little sense to me, even as the concepts hit home.

Today, the following happened:-

1. After reading the first few paths, my attention was repelled and I could not read on.
2. This happened again on my second attempt.
3. Now, sometime later,I was able to read the thread. But, something quite strange has happened, which makes no obvious sense. I can feel parts of all paths. Eg I am very focused on human evolution, Sirius and the Pleiades (interesting note as I type this my ability to write accurately is worsening in terms of spelling mind blanks), yet I feel directly connected to God (though we do not chat, it’s just a connection).
4. In short there is no one path that ‘stands out’ to me. Perhaps because I just bumble and stumble my way through life (while with hindsight gaining precisely what I need in the process).


Added:
Yet…

1. Paths 1-4 no issue.
2. An energy force increases down the list.
3. There is still some sort of ‘force field’ resistance to me reading 5-7. Less than it was but it remains.

Absolutely fascinating. (I realised how the Internet can be used as an energy transfer mechanism a decade or so ago. (Words have power, think of online bullying as an everyday example). I must explore this ‘bubble’.


Added some hours later:-

1. I was finally able to properly read paths 5 - 7.
2. I chose to do it in reverse.
3. The main energy for me was in path 6.
4. It has been fascinating today getting to this point.
5. Paths 5 and 7 definitely less intense, than 6, though much more than 1 - 4.

What does it mean? Who knows. But it has been fun feeling the energy, being repulsed and then penetrating.

How do I feel now? No different really, but I think that I have learnt something.

As a side note, for many years now (as spooks can verify from my Internet history), I have felt that my next incarnation will not be here (unless in a spaceship to buzz you all ). In fact I don’t think that I will be returning here for a couple of millennia, just to check how things are going. See if my audit report then is more favourable than my current one is likely to be.

Now am I deluded? Egotistical? (sadly I am a bit too much). On to something? Time will tell.

[paul]

>The main energy for me was in path 6

Agreed!

Perspectives:-

Historic

Most Homo sapiens have other extinct species DNA. Mainstream Science fact. Maybe Nethanderal or Denisovian, with iirc a possible third. Only a few percent but it is there. I once read that the highest recorded was 20%, which is thought provoking.

medlineplus.gov/genetics/understanding/dtcgenetictesting/neanderthaldna/


Today


Humans evolve, eg homo Erectus….homo Sapiens….homo whatever comes next. This is an evolutionary process with some helping hands along the way. These helping hands could be (depending on your belief system) God, Aliens, cosmic dust, etc.

The most obvious examples are:-

1. God created man in his image.
2. Gods interbreeding with humans.
3. The alien abduction phenomena of the past century.


The point is that it is historic and continues to this day, and as this process evolves, into the future. And that’s before you even consider the subject of this thread.



« I am not sure how human I am anyway »

As human as the rest of us. Just quite a bit more evolved.

Actually Paul this is one of the most profound questions that anyone could ask, even if you just think in terms of DNA.

[paul]

>not sure how human I have been

This should be a testable question so here are a couple of easy tests:

- Visualize your light body (aura field) and step outside it. Then visualize a piece of paper with the words "50% human" and push the paper next to your light body. What happens? Try other percentages. Start at 100% and work down until there is a match.


- Push your light body out into the solar system and move it around the planets to see if it prefers one particular planet. If none (including Earth) push your light body outside the solar system and towards any stars that you know of.

Ah, ‘have been’ as opposed to ‘am’. I need to read more precisely, which won’t be today.

Some Initial thoughts:-

1. Do you have a theoretical underpinning for this type of test? It does seem to work, but I am curious as to why? You will understand my concern shortly.
2. Before I forget, I have no issue with you not being human in past lives. But in this life you put your trousers on in the morning like the rest of us.
3. My mind this morning is tired, and it being Thursday it is likely to be a relatively challenging day for me, due to sleep issues and steroids (cancer).
4. But on Initial reading:
5. 0% if I am considering past lives/origin. This life gives differing results, but my mind is not clear, and this may have to do with this. Once I have properly woken up I will retry.
6. Regarding pushing my mind out to stars I know. Well I like astronomy, but haven’t studied it for a while. This is clouded by the fact that yesterday I was giving thought to a star in Orion’s Belt. Let me check it’s name. Alnitak. Now as I have just checked this a star to its south west grabbed me as interesting. So this is already in my mind.
7. The stars/systems that mean the most to me have always been Orion, Sirius, Pleiades.
8. In my current wake up mode, bearing in mind the above, it is Alnitak or that star nearby. But that could just be association with what I have very recently been thinking about.


Added, a bit later I looked at a star map for the area around Alnitak, and my mind was bobbing from star to star, the other being sse of Alnitak. Today is not the day for such tests.
