If you want to feed someone you have to get the skillet out. That's why you wear aprons

azaziel - it is simple, but it's not easy. Are you willing to persevere throughout the ordeal of your ... ? If you pay close attention to the rituals in all degrees you will find perseverence is a common thread. When things get tough, take a deep breath and take another step forward.

it's part of the Plan... ? Creating The ‘Right’ Conditions For The Return: (of Christ) The underlying and sole purpose behind all of the organizations that started with Alice Bailey and the Lucis Trust (the Arcane School, Triangles, World Goodwill, Lucis Publishing, Lucis Productions, Lucis Trust Libraries, the New Group of World Servers etc.) is to prepare the world for "the return of the Christ".
Of the New Group of World Servers Crème says
“When he came before in Palestine, the Christ found that there were not enough servers, disciples, in the world through whom he could work, who could have prepared the way for him, and through whom he could construct the new civilization of the time…. In 1922, therefore, he inaugurated the New Group of World Servers, which is the most important group existing in the world, although it has no outer form or organization. Each member of it is related subjectively (i.e. on the inner, soul level) to Hierarchy; they know and understand the Plan and their part in it”.

.. When we build our own temple within, He will be enabled to work through us? This provides a direct analogy to the temple in the heavens because the human body is an Adam Kadmon type body. The human system being a model of the greater system is able to be a living stone of the temple in the heavens

Does imagining the plumbline passing vertically thru our bodies help? Thinking along the lines of radios, antenna and tuning in sort of thing.

It is perhaps better to visualise the energies of the Cosmos anchoring in the human body by resonance with the structure of the Tree of Life. The plumb line may connect with the top of the head (more or less vertically depending upon the quality of the recipient) but the flow in the body is more complex than a single line.

I have been exposed to the theory various energy flow patterns of the organs of the body through my partner, who is a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and it is interesting to see the curious connections in this regard; they move in fixed patterns of points and meridians, but each of these patterns are completely different and do not seem to have any "logical" path, like , say, the circulatory system has.
They may move backwards, then forwards, zigzag about , and circle around on themselves. The premise of TCM is to work on these subtle energies and not on the physical body itself; thus disease may be "healed' even before it has reached the stage of actual physical manifestation.

Energy follows the lines of least resistance and of course energy is intrinsically intelligent. The energy flows therefore should vary between humans and over time.
If the energy flows are disturbed for a period of time then the associated organs will decline and eventually show biological damage (clinical symptoms)
Similarly for the Temple of the Earth

My dear Brothers and Sisters, If I may add, no esoteric work is worth anything without real application. If you want to feed someone you have to get the skillet out. Dig the symbols www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec0XKhAHR5IThe fact is, the whole thing is based on the Qabalah; thus, undertaking the study of the Tree of Life will reap dividends. Anyone who possesses the degree of MM or the female equivalent degree of WW and has reached the age of 36 may safely undertake to unravel the secrets of existence the Tree represents.; that is, the awakening of the Kundalini. But very few even care to undertake the period of mental discipline this represents, much less undertake to purify and refine their intellects so as to render themselves capable of enduring with equanimity the period of personal upheaval that invariably ensues upon contact with the archetypes and the awakening of the Kundalini.

capable of enduring with equanimity the period of personal upheaval that invariably ensues upon contact with the archetypes... We older masons 'feel' for our new EA's... we have seen time and again that in their first year as masons they are challenged some way or the other. Most new Masters are challenged to a greater degree in an area of their life. ...persevering throughout the ordeal of initiation are not just idle words... meant for one ceremony.

"The fact is, the whole thing is based on the Qabalah"
Is that the fact? Clear evidence without stretches?

The statement is significantly but not absolutely true.
For example the veils in HRA are more easily related to Hindu traditions, and the format of the ladder in Rosecroix is a straight copy from a Mithraic temple.
Nevertheless the Qabalah is a reasonable entry to Masonic Science, neither being much practiced in lodges.

People should exercise care when throwing around what are facts. Facts have evidence.

Ever wondered what the North Column and South Columns are Freemasonry? Royal Arch and Rose Croix in particular. Then there is the middle column or pillar. Just like Qabbala-Kabbala-Cabbala.

I like Massey's books.... see page 221 in your link.. he makes mention of the 'field of papyrus reeds' oozing with the water of life that supplied the world. The Red/Reed Sea ?

"The fact is, the whole thing is based on the Qabalah" Is that the fact? Clear evidence without stretches? Yes, Absolutely. So. Have you actually mastered the technique of the Hermetic Qabalah and have you gained access to the secrets of the Tree? I think not, myself; I would have noticed long ere this. This being so, you are not in the least qualified to judge whether or not something is 'Qabalistic in nature". and thus anything you have to say on the subject other than an admission [that you know nothing about it] is not credible
