RULES FOR INDUCING SOUL CONTROL

The Aim of These Rules

The objectives can be stated as four in number, but each of these is capable of re-expression in a number of ways. They simply indicate the four major goals which the Workers with the Plan have set Themselves. Let us state them succinctly, and later we can somewhat elaborate them:

1. The first aim and the primary aim is to establish, through the medium of humanity, an outpost of the Consciousness of God in the solar system. This is a correspondence, macrocosmically understood, of the relationship existing between a Master and His group of disciples. This, if pondered on, may serve as a clue to the significance of our planetary work.

2. To found upon earth a powerhouse of such potency and a focal point of such energy that humanity—as a whole—can be a factor in the solar system, bringing about changes and events of a unique nature in the planetary life and lives (and therefore in the system itself) and inducing an interstellar activity.

3. To develop a station of light, through the medium of the fourth kingdom in nature, which will serve not only the planet, and not only our particular solar system, but the seven systems of which ours is one. This question of light, bound up as it is with the colours of the seven Rays, is as yet an embryonic science, and it would be useless for us to enlarge upon it here.

4. To set up a magnetic center in the universe, in which the human kingdom and the kingdom of Souls will, united or at-oned, be the point of most intense power, and which will serve the developed Lives within the radius of the radiance of the One About Whom Naught May Be Said.

The seven factors or "Rules for Inducing Soul Control" are:

1. The tendency, innate and ineradicable, to blend and synthesise. This is a law or rule of life itself.

• This tendency results, on the form side, in destruction and wreckage, with its accompaniments of pain and sorrow. On the life side, it results in release, liberation and subsequent expansion.

• This tendency is the basic cause of all initiation—individual, racial, planetary and systemic.

• It is the result of an act of the will, and is caused by the impulsion of the sensed and innate purpose of God. However (and this is a point oft forgotten) this tendency is motivated by the recognition of the planetary Logos, that His plan is conditioned in its turn, and is an integral part of a still larger plan— that of the solar Deity. God, the Solar Logos, is likewise conditioned by a still higher life purpose.

2. The quality of the hidden vision.

• This quality, on the form side, produces physical sight, Astral illusion and concrete knowledge. On the life side it produces illumination. This includes the widespread illumination reflected by our planet in the heavens, as well as that which makes an individual man a light-bearer, and which will eventually enable humanity, (as a whole) to constitute a station of light upon earth.

• This quality is the basic cause of all sensory perception and is the instinctive urge to consciousness itself, in all its many phases. With this quality the Hierarchy has to work, intensifying it and giving it magnetic power.

• It is the high result of desire, which is itself intrinsically founded on the will to form a plan and a purpose.

3. The instinct to formulate a plan. This instinct governs all activity which, in process of evolution, divides itself into instinctual activity, intelligent activity, intuitional or purposive activity, and illumined activity, as far as mankind is concerned. This includes that department of the Hierarchy which works with humanity. The higher phases of planned activity are many and diverse, and are all synthesised under the third Ray activity, at present focused in the seventh Ray.
