THE TRIANGLES AND THE CENTERS
It is necessary to remember that all influences which impinge upon the individual or upon humanity as a whole pass through or are transmitted by one or other of the planetary centers. I have said little about these centers save to refer to the major three centers which we call Shamballa, Hierarchy and Humanity. We recognise them as:
II. Hierarchy Love-Wisdom Planetary Heart center Directed Love
III. Humanity Intelligence Planetary Ajna center Directed Mind
Four other centers remain to be considered: the planetary Throat center, Solar Plexus, sacral center and the center at the Base of the Spine. In the planetary logoic life—as is the case also with individual man, the microcosm of the Macrocosm—certain centers are more awakened than others and vibrate in unison with systemic impulse more fully than others. In the case of the planetary Logos of our little sphere, the Head center, the Ajna center, the heart and Solar Plexus centers and the Throat center are the five focal points of energy which are the most alive and vibrant. The sacral center is slowly dropping below the threshold of the logoic consciousness whilst the center at the Base of the Spine is practically entirely quiescent, except in connection with its pranic effects upon the form life, engendering the will to live, the urge to survival and the vitalisation of forms. These facts will give you an idea of our planetary status in the great family of the central sun and indicate why our planet is not a sacred planet. No planet is a sacred planet unless the center at the Base of the Spine (speaking symbolically) is aroused and the great fusion of energies resulting therefrom has been effected. I refer to this particular world cycle and period and to the state of affairs in this the fifth or Aryan root-race.
Humanity was at one time the correspondence to the planetary Solar Plexus and some day will shift the focus of its receptivity to the planetary Heart center; when this takes place, the Hierarchy will shift its focus of receptivity into the sphere of influence of Shamballa. Of this shift, the presence of the twelve-petalled lotus in the highest Head center (the relating point between the Heart center and the Soul on its own plane) is the guarantee. The following relations must consequently be borne in mind:
The preceding tabulation may serve to make a little clearer the present general plan or blueprint of the evolutionary development of consciousness. Other developments are proceeding simultaneously, such as the responsive unfoldment of the form aspect and the evolution of the Deva, or angel, line which parallels the human and to which I referred in A Treatise on Cosmic Fire. A third great scheme of evolution is proceeding and that can only be referred to as the unfoldment of divine purpose on its own plane; of this humanity has, as yet, no faintest conception because its consciousness is still held within the limitations of its own kingdom in nature; the Hierarchy is attempting to become responsive to this form of energy.
