Synthesis & Economy

As you realize, the New Ashram of Synthesis carries the responsibility not only of incarnating, so to speak, as a conscious soul within the body of humanity, but of building the new forms of the new civilization which can and will adequately house that incarnate soul and provide for its continuing growth and development. The Ashramic group life is constituted, if you will excuse please my terminology here, of three major sections insofar as its focus of attention is concerned.

These major sections which are determined by the three major Ashrams which have come together to create the new synthesis are :

1. That section which deals with Divine Purpose - Divine Power - Divine Will, and which is reflected outwardly, works out, that is, within the body of humanity, as Government. Government in right relationship works out within the group life as cooperative leadership as each individual within the group follows his own overshadowing spiritual soul guidance, which is his governing agent, so to speak. The head center then of the group life is the Ashram.

2. The next section - the second section of the Ashramic group life is that of the consciousness aspect - the soul life of the group which deals primarily with the growth and development of the incarnate consciousness - incarnate on Ashramic levels within the causal sheath - incarnate below these levels within the threefold instrument. This section of the Ashram is reflected outwardly within the body of humanity primarily in the field of Education - within the group life in the same field - that of teaching - as well as any other activity which deals specifically with the soul life. I am placing in this section - and deliberately so because this is the new age into which we have entered - healing - all of the cultural activities of humanity - and in part the field of science, particularly in research.

3. The third section of the Ashram is that of intelligent activity - the form building section of the Ashram which has to do with the building specifically of the new forms of the new civilization. This works out in the outer life and affairs of the group, and within the body of humanity in the field of Business.

We have here three major sections of the Ashramic group life - three major sections, insofar as that is concerned, of the Hierarchy. We see these three major sections out pictured within the world of affairs today in this civilization, which is rapidly moving out of incarnation, first major change to be made in the economic structure of humanity has to do with the relationship of these three sections which are a reflection, truly, of the Trinity itself - spirit, matter and consciousness.

It is extremely important that you grasp this concept. The first major change in the new civilization must be made in the economy of the world itself. That change must be in the relationship of these three sections, or fields, or departments of human living to one another. And that change is very simple - as follows:

The purpose of business is to substantiate, subsidize the growth and development of human consciousness - to build those forms which carry the light, the love and the power of the soul into outer expression. This is the purpose of business - any business - all business. This is its only purpose.

For education to become a business or to enter into business - this is wrong relationship. Business is the intelligent activity which will build the forms of the incarnation necessary to the growth and development of the consciousness aspect itself. Finance, then, intelligent substance, is the substantiating, or subsidizing aspect or activity. This section then must support or subsidize the education of the human consciousness - the healing activity, which in this new age, has to do with the healing of consciousness - all of the cultural interests and activities of humanity which relates specifically with the growth and development of the human consciousness, etc.

The purpose of government is to coordinate these two other sections - that which deals with and is under the large heading of education, or rather the growth and development of the human consciousness - and the intelligent activity which supports, substantiates, subsidizes that growth and development. The government then must work through the concept and activity of cooperative leadership to coordinate the activities of the other two sections.

Thus we begin to bring about within the world of affairs that right relationship between spirit, matter and consciousness, which will not only heal the economic ills of humanity as a total, but which will generate a creative economy capable of transmuting the material values into spiritual values.

The entire field of business within the body of humanity must undergo a radical change. That change undoubtedly, to a certain degree at least, will be precipitated through grave economic problems and crises. But it is possible now, for groups such as this, to begin to build upon the new concept, and in so doing, to transmit via the etheric network, into the minds of intelligent and spiritually - to a degree at least - oriented men and women some of the ideas regarding the change. As the shift is completed, it will eliminate the need for money as such. In the meantime, money, finance, has to be made right use of - it has to be utilized as the intelligent substance which builds the forms necessary to the incarnation of the soul’s light, love and power.

If, for instance, thinking through, along with meditation, those problems which confront you, insofar as economy is concerned - and I am not now referring just to that part of the economy which is finance or money - I am referring to all of your economy - the expenditures - the various expenditures of your energy, force and substance - the organization of it - your time and so on. If, in thinking through, with the aid of meditation these various problems to their solution - whether those solutions be temporary, of the moment, or of a more long-range nature - if you can apply this concept to them so that you can begin to establish this right relationship - make the proper equation - then, once that equation is made you will find yourselves completely free of economic problems -particularly those which relate to finance - to money.

You see, for instance, those of you who find yourselves attracted into business activity as such, realize then that your chosen field of service is in the 7th Ray department, in a sense - that is, it is within the form-building aspect or section of the Ashram. This is, if you are truly attracted into this particular form of expression, or this field, regardless of what business it may be. Then this is your chosen field of service. It is the form building section of the Ashram. Let then your meditation be along these lines. Enter into business, not with the purpose of making money, because this is not only the wrong polarity of money and of finance - and therefore the wrong motivation - but it is a misuse of energy which, insofar as a conscious soul incarnate is concerned, will deplete him of this energy. You have all of you wondered as to your lack. This is the primary cause of lack of substance insofar as a unit of consciousness which is consciously identified as soul. You cannot enter into business as a soul with the purpose of making money. Your purpose must be that of substantiating the growth and development of human consciousness - or the growth and development of the soul consciousness - whichever the case may be - into the higher counterpart. This must be your purpose. Therefore your business activity must be harmonic of this purpose - must be in line with it. If it is not then you had better get out of the activity.

You are building the new forms even in your use of the old forms. Meditate then along these lines until you understand your purpose and understand somewhat your goal. And let always your will move to the growth and development of the consciousness of humanity, realizing that this is not an abstraction, but that it has its practical application within the world of affairs.

So likewise with those of you who are attracted into either of the other two sections of the Ashramic group life. Understand what your chosen field of service is and align with its particular purpose and goal, relating then properly with the other two sections, as they reflect - as they work out - in your daily life and affairs.

For instance, if as a school, which is an educational activity, is formed - is brought into expression - do not let it become a business. Because if you do, again this is a misuse of energy. It is a wrong relationship insofar as the new age is concerned - the new effort is concerned - and it is doomed to failure financially.

The business builds the forms, it deals with the form aspect specifically. It is dealing with the form aspect - with the molding of energy, force and substance into those forms which will carry the conscious soul into incarnate, and via that incarnation, into expression.

The intelligent substance is that which is used in the form-building activity, but for the specific purpose of aiding the growth and development of the consciousness. This is how, then, the third aspect serves the Divine Plan for humanity, which is, after all, the evolutionary plan of the soul. This is all the Divine Plan for humanity is - it is the evolution - the growth and development of the soul into its highest potential.

When you go to get a job, the purpose at least, whether you get the money or not - the purpose is that you are aiding the growth and development of the consciousness. First of all, we’ll say, your own, if all you have or earn is to support your own culture and so on - but from that now to see that the whole of business and those who control it must - they do - create the forms. That money is used for cultural and educational purposes. They create how it is going to be done. This is what it means. As far as I am concerned, this is where the meditation comes in. How substance builds forms. Of course, we can see it now. The big corporations own the radio stations and we are induced to buy this, that or the other, and there is the form of our business. There is a form which money - the owners of the money - make. We’re all engrossed - we’re all imprisoned - we’re all forced into this particular. We are so used to it that we don’t recognize it as a form.

Lucille: The symbol I received disturbed me terribly when I had it. It was in relationship to this publishing company thing. I saw these books going out - saw them as their influence - as a light within the body of humanity. And the light was feeding upon money. In other words, money was its fuel - and all of the connotations relating to money and materiality, or material values in the world, were the fuel that this tremendous light was using as it became brighter and brighter and brighter - and I became very concerned for fear that there wasn’t going to be any money left. He says that is a good symbol to use, so for what it is, that’s it. As I say I became so concerned and so disturbed in the meditation that I finally gave it up before all the money was gone. Afterwards, in trying to understand what this was all about, I thought that eventually money isn’t going to be needed anyway, and all I could see was that it might possibly symbolize the transmutation of material value into the soul light.

This symbol can be used in conjunction with the sounding of the OM as a mantric release very effectively, both insofar as the imprisoned consciousness is concerned and its outer reflection within the daily life and affairs. I am permitted to do no more - to reveal no more regarding this. I can only indicate that if you use the visualization in conjunction with the sounding of the OM as a mantric activity - release - it can be very effective, both insofar as the incarnate or imprisoned consciousness is concerned - imprisoned within the reactive patterns, evaluation, and so on, of the body - and the outer reflection of that imprisoned consciousness within the daily life and affairs - which is, after all, presenting you, at this particular moment, with your greatest problem.

This is the reflection of the imprisoned consciousness in the outer life and affairs that gives you difficulty. The use of this vision - visualization - in conjunction with the sounding of the OM as a mantric activity - will be extremely effective in the freeing of the imprisoned consciousness from the prison which money and finance have become - and will, therefore, be effective in the outer life and affairs - in those areas particularly where the imprisoned consciousness is reflecting.

It will affect the individual very specifically and dynamically. It is a 7th Ray magical technique which will aid in freeing the imprisoned consciousness from the prison which money and finance have become. Do not expect this to be a particularly easy process because you are going to have to give up much that has gone into the building of that prison that you not only desire, love, but much upon which your security - insofar as your false sense of security - depends. You can expect to undergo tremendous changes in consciousness and as a result, changes in the reflection which the consciousness is making in your outer life and affairs.

As Lucille has described it, identify the light as a spiritual light. You might see it as the Light of the Soul or any other spiritual light which is being fed by money - the intelligent substance that is giving it its light form. That which is being burned or fed is the rightful fuel - if I may call it that. You will certainly get rid of much of your prison, that the old system of money exchange has become.
