From Glamour to ModerationDeveloping the 2nd Ray of Loving WisdomMost of the teachings on the Rays are fixed on the personality and the soul. If you look at the Rays, they are the Rays of the Planetary Logos that move us. The 1st Ray is the Cosmic Logos, the 2nd Ray is the Solar Logos and 3rd Ray is the Planetary logos. On Earth, our process is to integrate these 3 aspects into our spontaneous reality so we have Cosmic Law, Solar Law and Planetary Law. They are the strongest rays that influence us and less the rays of our personality package. That in itself could be the strongest influence of the rays, like the rays of your nation. Even in life, your rays can change. So in reality, we are all just the 2nd Ray and that is the only one we have to work on. You can look at the rays as lesser and higher. The 1st Ray in a higher reality is nothing more than the 2nd Ray dominating the 1st Ray and manifesting the 2nd Ray. It is the same with the 3rd, 4th, 5th Rays etc, they are all dominated by the integration of the soul and that is only 2nd Ray. If you are going to integrate your soul, you need to make your physical, emotional and mental bodies more 2nd Ray. If you physically die and are brought back to life 10 minutes later, you are dominantly 2nd Ray. So it is the Law, either you do it here or you do it after you die. So let’s start dying: going through the process of death now so that we can get younger and regenerate and heal disease. So we do not reincarnate, we regenerate. Accidents are what kills most of us and most are cleared out if you focus on meditation, simplicity, moderation, less anxiety (e.g. to be on time) and taking initiation. Most of us are taken out by stress. All of you have the ability to receive the 3rd initiation in life but it can get perverted. For example, multiple marriages, sex changes, gay men wanting to be women. What happens if a guy wants to be a girl? He has to click into that scenario; his mannerisms, his behavior. Why do men have to do all the fixing at home? The nature of the woman is to be equal to a man but not stereotypical. It is the energy of psychic stereotyping, if we do that towards women we will move humanity towards homosexuality and the same if we stereotype men. We will go to the other end of the spectrum and have no life, look at the commercials and what they tell you is normal. Normal is a man and a woman together, a wonderful natural ability to make a nice home and reality together. Why is the 7th Ray of Right Relationship so important?All of the rays have a complimentary connection: Rays 3 & 7, 2 & 6 and 4 & 1. So, as we develop the 3rd Ray (the Holy Spirit/Mind of God) energy, we develop the 7th Ray. So developing the Holy Spirit, the 7th Ray, right relationship is more important for humanity and we learn to speak lovingly and care lovingly. The 7th Ray is the order of things: saying and doing the right things. The 3rd Ray is the ray that creates karma and can unwind karma. A healthy, selfless person should have the following rays in relationship to their chakras: But in a normal state with doubting mind and fearful thoughts there is lack of hope and lack of faith and so they have a relationship with themselves and the 5th Ray is at the sacral center. They stereotype, put prejudice on things and that is our relationship to life. So in an unhealthy state, these rays shift their energy to the chakras and if we misuse our will, it focuses the 4th Ray on the brow center. The First Three InitiationsWhen the body is unhealthy, the way the chakras are in the body and way in which you draw energy to you and radiate it out is different to when you are healthy. When you are negative, all the delusions of the world are what you are picking up but you are not receiving the soul, you maintain that by being harmless. When they are connecting in a healthy way, the sacral energy connects to the throat, which is your speech. The throat is how you relate to life and the sacral center is your relationships in life. If you relate negatively to life, all you are doing is putting down life. This is already an enlightened world. The words are there, they just need to be turned upwards and then everything in life, everything you say is revelation. This connection is Tantric, the relationship of Vajradhara and Vajrayogini. Vajrayogini is the manifestation of the 7th Ray (sacral center) and the 3rd ray (throat center) and it manifests the form you take: either you are divine and have dharmic attributes or you are not divine and have karmic attributes. When the 7th ray moves to the 3rd ray in the throat in right relationship, everything in the world becomes Vajrayogini and it puts you in relationship to the world like Buddha is in relationship to the world and we start having miracles and we find ourselves in right places at the right time and we did not plan it and it gets us very humble and it makes life a totally different reality, one thing after the other, what you think is what you see. Imagine what you will see if you are deluded. So the power of relationship is known as white magic and that is the first thing that takes place, you immediately become a magician and you start transforming things through your mind and speech and what you are thinking comes on TV and it is part of the awakening and it is very metaphysical. The next relationship to stabilize is your solar plexus to your heart and you immediately become a sentient being becoming an enlightened being, Buddha, through right relationship and an evolutionary process can take place. In that process shifts of awakening take place and they are known as initiations. The 1st initiation is the 7th ray moving to the 3rd ray which is how you relate to people, do you see them as divine or evil? Once that shifts to become more your Buddha nature, your Bodhisattva qualities develop from the solar plexus to the heart and it immediately goes to your mind and it gets enlightened and you see the light outside of you rather than judging or criticizing, so you simply cannot misinterpret or judge what another sentient being is doing. So that is known as the 2nd initiation and the effect of that is an extreme ability of telepathy and you stop thinking about why there are bad things in the world. The next relationship is our base center moving to our crown center where our will comes in and where the planet comes in. This planet is connected to our base center and the energy of Shambhala and heaven. We not only sense what is going on in the world but we sense humanity changing e.g. in society it is the will center where politics and other high things of that nature that control us take place. So when we move in this state of awakening, we become the conduit for the 1st ray energy and we do things like go to the grocery store and buy only what we need to buy. As these things wake up we find that we are not attracted to the things that are coming up and we make very practical choices based on moderation. We do not want a lot of money, property and to control a big company, we want to be of service so the energy of your choices shift automatically and it directly affects the use of those rays throughout life. Moderation & GlamourThere are people who in their vices wish to be a leader or to control and they get hold of those rays and they use them and the rest of humanity is not using them that much. So it is important we get our will back and choose good relationships in life and it will radiate out to those who are misusing those energies. Like rock stars, actors and politicians (they are actors too!) and they misuse the 1st ray and build big mansions and it manifests into a really bad scenario for humanity. So by the practitioner asserting their will to make proper choices everyday to help others, you take on the position of becoming the star, without a stage and it takes away this delusional karmic life. It is the same with sport. It is wherever you see enormous amounts of money that there are these misuses. They put people on pedestals and they live out delusions of glamour in a world of glamour and they even say it, they do movies about it, commercials about it and it destroys humanity. It is a misuse of what is Buddha nature to direct people to control their fans and we all become fanatical. So it is an extreme misuse of the nature of the evolution of where we are going and so we need to choose whether we support these things e.g. buy ridiculous cars (a personality expression) in a world where hybrid cars are available. These people are psychically attacking humanity and so now you pay $400K for a house that only cost $20K 20 years ago, because Madonna paid $5M for a house. You have 2 Princes in England running around like their mother, full of glamour. And yet there is poverty all around the world and we think it is great that the government is giving aid to the 3rd world tsunami victims but we are not bothered about a Prince making £300K per annum from humanity and let it all go, like the story of the Prince and the Pauper, it is a moral but a truth. So in humanity is a small group that is so distanced from humanity and so full of glamour that it is really affecting things and if you ask them why they live like they do, they will tell you they are doing it for you. Everything in the world causing disease is glamour. This is way off the mark of reality and where the true suffering is coming from, it is these thousands of people living delusions of glamour and insane in the mind. This is why I have so few students in a dharshan as you need to disassociate from this world. People like Madonna are going into a real fanatical place looking for God. If they became truly awakened, they will move to a life of moderation, like Dennis Weaver. Never will it be ok for an individual to have an over abundance of money as to do so is sex magic and money magic. So imagine if the 4th ray moves up to the 1st ray, religion is not a goal but a path. This is what we could do if we were not controlled by our fanaticism. We can see this in history, controlling humanity through the fanatic process of black magic e.g. Caesar, the Mayans, the Aztecs and it is being done so subtly, they reincarnate and we establish the same roles with them. The purpose of the declaration of Independence and the Constitution is like its written by Buddha to establish union, create justice. Each movement to establish human rights was to give power to people and stop others controlling the people and it allows God to be a factor, “One nation under God,” it is an invocation-evocation in the US for all nations to come together and establish a process of one nation under God and it is really about understanding the common truth which is moderation. Everyone has to have this shift in consciousness. So if you say “I don’t like sports”, you need to come clean and reveal all of the things that are not in right relationship. Whenever you get an opportunity to say something you should as it may give that person an opportunity to take their power back. It will stop people buying Nike even though they know the shoes are being made in sweat shops by children. Instead, we could look at local shoemakers. What better teaching tool is there in the world than walking the talk, shifting your life towards reverence and world change. There is much we can do and tackle in the world to change things. If you do not say something, you are supporting fanaticism. Then we can create longer and more fulfilling lives. We think we only live to 50 to 70 years old but we should be living for hundreds of years, if not thousands of years if the bible is true. Adam lived for just under 1000 years and the only reason he died was his impurity and his descendants gradually lived for less and less years. Babaji lived 2,500 years. He was born in the time of Gautama Buddha and died in 1950, now either Yogananda is crackers or we are missing the boat. One of the options in relation to Maitreya is to expand the life span of people not by 1000 years but by 4000 or 5000 years, wouldn't that be interesting? Babaji looked like he was 30 years old when he died and Krishna looked 18. Tsong Khapa looked 16 when he died. So there can be more than just the benefit of being happy and being enlightened. How much wisdom can you gain in a 70 year period? You are just a child. Our response to life and bodies are so impure that our soul takes us out and then you start again and your soul brings you back. You come back straight away but time is transcendent so it may not seem like that. So there is a great amount that can happen for the whole world just through moderation. Gautama Buddha told Manjushri “we can meditate, do puja but the best thing we can do is visualize that Buddha we have not met yet but we know he is to come”. That is just the preparation. If there is a physical incarnation of the Buddha, this can be done tremendously and we can have cures for cancer, aids etc and fanatical people will have breakdowns. Question: You talk about movie stars but what about misuse by the pharmaceutical companies, like those who make mother’s breast milk formulas? They are all the same. Humanity is in a misdirected state, in a state of glamour and we have to do things like a mother having to go back to work 3 months after she gave birth. Like the housing market and prices going through the roof so you need to have both the mother and father working. You have to be part of the forces of glamour just to get through daily life. Poverty is growing and Aids is growing and the money is not going where the money should be going. So this process we are involved in with me and the tools is not only changing our lives but the world to affect as many people as you possibly can to stop being fanatical, sitting in constant suffering where their soul is completely dormant. Question: My pyramid system is really changing my town in Eugene, Oregon? Yes, it does. It pulses so that after one week, it has pulsed out 1 mile and after a year, it has pulsed out to the entire planet and if it sits and is never moved, it will radiate out to the cosmos in constant order. In the hierarchy, there is the Cosmic Logos (to affect the Solar Logos and to benefit the Planetary Logos), the Solar Logos (to affect the Planetary Logos) and the Planetary Logos (who affects the planet) and to have those 3 influences requires very high stages of consciousness and a lot of meditation. So when we work with these tools, we have planetary healing working with solar energy manifesting cosmic consciousness and that is very powerful. Glamour will go and there will be people who just keep regenerating as it requires prana and it increases your vibration which can regenerate your cell body, emotional and mental bodies and your aura and you heal each other. We are in a world of no healers and people die very quickly and with much suffering. The process of this on a group level is that the benefit will be (a) increasing one’s life and (b) increasing the level of light on the planet. If you die and come back, you have a gap in the transmigration of the soul where you have to get back the qualities you have lost. Whereas if you go through that process in life, you keep on growing. Your soul will take you out in order to learn because you get so dense and polluted that you cannot learn anymore, it is the natural order of things. But we can keep that vital force by being enlightened and doing nothing to impure our lives and living extremely moderately. So enlightenment is a constant state, a path of becoming more and more enlightened. It is not a moment. Buddha got enlightened under the Bodhi tree but he said that he was Buddha when he was born. Misuse of the 4th RayIf you over value yourself, you will think that you are the God of nature, natural matter, and that relationship takes away how you are going to respond in a natural way, e.g. am I fat, is my makeup on? All these things that focus on beauty impact when we are not in rights relationship to the Earth (fourth ray). We are really this Earth, the manifestation of the Earth, all things manifest the Earth, we are all Adam and Eve. So if we misdirect that, we create war. But if we accept the natural grace from the fourth ray then we are male and female in beauty. If the fourth ray is misdirected, we worry and it takes away our ability to make the right decision i.e. doubting mind takes the place of your ability to be conscious. This worry element affects our relationship to how we energetically heal another person, whether we are capable of healing another person. That worry affects the astral worry and the cause of it comes from the separative relationship between men and women and from our stereotypes. We do not have human rights but prejudice inside. This creates stereotypes and manifests in our culture and we can see this is all a metaphysical mess, e.g. gay men come out of the closet and gay women come out of the closet at about the same time and now they are out and you can see that they look the same, their mannerisms are the same and all they are concerned with is how are we looking? Beauty, beauty, beauty, beauty. The gay guys look at the women and they have these stereotypes and they tell the women how to walk, wear their clothes and the women think that these are my best friends, but they just want your guys as to them, everybody is gay. They think that there are no men and women and this is nature. Their consciousness is that this is natural, to all be gay. Like Michael Jackson and children’s company and saying that this is love, when in reality it is extreme selfishness and it is all focused on the fourth ray. And then women take the same pathway and become the men and get all materialistic things and buy from expensive shops and this is all part of their culture. And now they have a show “Queer eye for the straight guy” and they come in and re-culturalize the straight guy to make people think this is the right way to do things. This 4th ray has a big affect on all of us, look at bulimia and all the things that go on where people diet and they cannot see they are getting slimmer. So by misusing the 4th ray, you veil more and more what is reality and you get no faith, just an enormous desire to do it and be very seductive. Princess Diana did this and when you get more pressure to be this material i.e. more models, TV shows with perfect young adults, you get more veiled and delusional. Those qualities are when you establish a cultural click, a wall of prejudice where you do not see anything about anyone else other than criticism, so you have no faith, no sense of right and wrong and you just go to gossip and that is the worst thing on the planet and we have TV shows all about gossip. Gossip used to sell really big in the newspaper. Most of that process has to be a choice within us to move away from it or at least reveal it, do not be so tolerant, i.e. we do not want to be compromising. You are human and you know what is right, it is inside of you and if you have unconditional love, you have right and wrong and you do not go along with them e.g. you say to a drug addict “you’re on drugs and you need to stop”. You do not care how they respond to you – that is unconditional – right? Turning the wheel of dharma and making changes for the better - ServiceSo we have to learn to make these changes. The fourth ray wants creature comfort and does not want to hear that anything is wrong. As long as we are human beings and not in nature – if we are not in the responsive state of condition that I call Buddha Nature, we will be in the other position of unresponsiveness and that creates vices. In order to have virtues, we have to choose what is right and wrong and you have to do it now. So you stop going out on Friday night to drink with friends or go to group functions. You all move out of this. But we are still in a society and there is telepathy. So it’s our mind, through discernment and discrimination to do the right thing, that has to do with turning the wheel of dharma and creating future karma (not your past life karma) and the world starts to change. So for example, you want to buy a hybrid car but your friends start to criticize you and you think things like you cannot buy it new, you have to buy it second hand and we are not in that stage yet where we will just do these things. We have to make this choice, are we going to get another loan for our house or get a solar company in and spend ten to twenty thousand dollars on it? If you do that, so many benefits will come to you and your consciousness will change and the limitation of the ability to buy these things (e.g. because of pressure or because there are so few companies out there making it) will cease, immediately companies will start building these things. But if we do not make these changes in choice, then they will not build. So we then move into a cosmic reality of service and service comes to us, it fuels the second ray, the ray of magic to be developed. You then develop a powerful ability to absorb light, attract light to you and thought form building. So before you gave all your energy to others through envy and thoughtlessness but now the whole sixth ray changes and your reverence is self reverence and you have self commitment and your loyalty to others becomes loyalty to yourself and that is when your first, second and third rays connect and you become who you are and you are so changed. You have the first ray of will to do what you should be doing (rather than the third ray of scattered ideas, which last for one hour each and then you beat yourself up one year later for not having progressed any of them). You develop the second ray through meditation and pilgrimage. You cannot develop the second ray by falling in love, that is sixth ray and this develops an ideal and then we want loyalty from that person; do you love me and how much? And we get influences of putting people on a pedestal like with sportsman, e.g. Tiger Woods, he knows he is just lucky, that he practiced a lot and he is good, but it does not make him a master. But when we follow them or we have lost relationship to spiritual masters, we are under a deluded belief system. All these sports are the same process of our lack of ability to see the needs of the poor and school systems where teachers are frustrated beyond belief and are not paid enough. All of those things are set up out there and we push our energy to delusions of glamour. We are paying glamour to become glamour so we can gossip and since we cannot live like they live, they fulfill our delusions of glamour and they think they are doing this for you and all they may have done is write a rap song. So with the misuse of the fourth ray and no vision we get glamour. In soul therapy you can have an intense experience and it releases you from having dogmatic attachments to me and it has a different sense to it. But if you go to a big concert or watch a video the sixth ray comes up and hits psychic energy inside of you so you get off on it and you get what you would get if you went to church that day, so you live out an extension of what you fulfill to have delusions. In movies, they use music and sound effects and it draws you in and then they get you with lights and more action and while you are in that state of “wow”, they are getting reactions our of you and they are supposed to be your spiritual reactions and they have no way to grow. On the positive side, things can be done to change humanity, like the program “All in the Family” where the man is a prejudiced creep, but in fact he is just the same as your dad and there is a hippy who is gentle and he loves his wife. So these different states of consciousness educate you and you move away from delusions, almost like being in church. It educates you and it is like seeing yourself. Discernment and discrimination is seeing right relationship and revelations.
