"Disease
is the product of, and subject to, three influences. First,
a man's past, wherein he pays the price of ancient error.
Second, his inheritance, wherein he shares with all mankind
those tainted streams of energy which are of group origin.
Thirdly, he shares with all the natural forms that which
the Lord of Life imposes on His body. These three influences
are called "The Ancient Law of Evil Sharing."
This must give place some day to that new "Law of Ancient
Dominating Good" which lies behind all that God made.
This law must be brought into activity by the spiritual
will of man."How many times have we all looked to God
seeking answers to what is happening to us—wondering
“why”?
But
we receive no answer. How many times in a difficult moment
do we feel the unfairness of our personal suffering? Why
do I not have children, why am I sick, why do I struggle
in my relationships, why was I laid off from my job, why
can I not communicate with my children and with my parents?
Why is my work not recognized, why did I lose my money in
the stock market, why do loved ones leave me?
Human
life consists of endless “whys” that cover every
level of human existence. They range from the individual
level to the level of family and friends, to city, country,
nation, and through all the kingdoms of nature and humanity
itself.Why do illnesses exist, why is there death, failure,
pain and natural destructions (earthquakes, volcanic explosions,
extreme meteorological phenomena, floods, pollution by natural
and human sources)? Why is there hunger, epidemic and war.
“Why God?” we ask.
And
these “whys” are growing daily, colouring our
human existence with desperation.We often have the sense
of an externally imposed factor which acts beyond and outside
our own will and thinking—ignoring us, punishing us.We
feel confused, the ground moving under our feet. We sometimes
ask the opinion of therapists and doctors, we turn to our
friends for support, we seek understanding from our spiritual
group, we practice meditation, we use herbs, medicines and
vitamins.Although we have the sense that we are left alone
in our tragic experience, we continue searching for answers.
These
changes in life lead to internal and external frictions
and unbalance our health often resulting in illness (dis-ease).
All these conditions the Esoteric teachings summarize as
Karma.Life is movement and movement requires change in order
to produce results.In the Piscean age, we learned to see
the Law of karma as an externally imposed Will, a punishment
or threat for our wrong doings—something imposed by
outside factors. However karma is not something predisposed
to us for the length and depth of time—this is an idea
held by those who do not understand the Law of karma (the
Law of Cause and Effect).
We
come into life gifted with positive and negative elements
and factors that we inherit from our parents and ancestors.
These elements, both mental and emotional, simultaneously
influence our dense physical body. We come into life sharing
familial duties and rights. We first work to structure the
sphere of our existence, undertaking our individual karma
or the individual field of our experience.
“First,
a man's past, wherein he pays the price of ancient error.”As
we study the subject of Karma (Law of Cause and Effect)
from a wider viewpoint we begin to realize that there exist
"wheels within wheels". We distinguish Karma as
individual, group and planetary, and we become aware that
there is an interrelation between the various forms of Karma.
The
Law of Karma then begins to be recognized as what it is—a
regulating and educational factor. A factor allowing us
to play our role in the Cosmic Scene of Creation.We begin
to conceive our part of God’s Plan, and as soul-actor
we work to play in the cosmic scene as we enter on the Probationary
Path or the beginning of the path of Return.
Three
Transmutations of Energy.
A Path towards Liberation from Karma. “How
to transmute the most bitter into the most sweet? Naught
save Hierarchy will transform life into a higher consciousness.”

1st
Transmutation As we achieve a degree of accomplishment,
regarding the matter of our bodies or vehicles, we seek
harmony and balance within, using prayer and meditation
in a devotional way. We apply—often fanatically—disciplines
regarding diet, exercise, celibacy, etc. We begin to show
concern simultaneously for ourselves and for the environment.
We work to acquire control of the physical body by the right
handling of our needs for food, sex and money—and what
we seek for ourselves we seek for the Planet as well.At
this stage of our development the illnesses that effect
us are primarily concerned with the reproductive system,
hormonal imbalances, problems of the respiratory system,
as well as problems related to over-activity or under-activity
of the thyroid gland.Slowly we recognize that we are one
type of life sharing the planet with millions of other types
of lives in the same environment (think of the growing number
of members of environmental organisations and NGO’s
worldwide). Anything of a negative nature that happens to
the environment influences our health, causing illness in
us also. We begin to use thought creatively in our work
and in our life. Our conscience expands and this is related
technically to what we call in esoteric philosophy, the
Birth of Christ in the Heart.
2nd
Transmutation With the passage of time (many incarnations)
we enter a stage where we seek to gain control of our emotions
and begin expressing ourselves in terms of unconditional
love. The desire to serve God’s Plan is expanded.
At this stage of our development, we are prone to illnesses
that are related to emotional disturbances, conflict, suppressions
and neuroses, emotional fixations, many nervous and digestive
ailments, blood pressure and heart problems of many types,
and immune deficiency syndromes.Through this struggle, we
become more capable, and we dedicate ourselves more and
more to the service of God’s Plan (as our Heart centre
radiates and is activated).We work to apply harmlessness
in our life and to work with discrimination. Meditation
becomes a daily need. Desire becomes love. We begin to gain
control of our feeling nature or our astral body.The heart
is an organ of group awareness and as the individual develops
this consciousness, they become the centre of a group, first
a small group and then eventually acting as a world server.
The accent is now on group work.In a flash of conscience,
we conceive that there is a Plan—an Eternal and Inalterable
Principle behind all the events of the world of phenomena.The
radiant light of Hierarchy flashes in our mind. We then
recognize and accept the existence of the Hierarchy of the
Planet and we seek to work consciously for the Plan. This
stage of our activities is connected with the control of
our emotional nature.
3rd
Transmutation or Transfiguration At this point we begin
to develop mind control and ultimately complete personality
control. The three bodies or vehicles (physical, mental,
emotional) henceforth become the organ of the soul. Service
to Humanity and to the other kingdoms of Nature is all that
occupies us now. We become conscious members of the Planetary
Hierarchy and adapt the aims of our personality to the Service
of the Group of Linked Souls, the Hierarchy. At this stage,
the student is henceforth a conscious member of Planetary
Hierarchy (individuals make their mark along a particular
line and fast become a world server in some sphere of endeavour
and can declare “My existence is my work...”
Gandhi.)The Law of Karma no longer concerns us and
we are released from the wheel of continuous reincarnations—living
consciously in Life.Today millions of aspirants and students,
all around the world, with no distinction between race,
colour, religion, social class and doctrine, are expecting
the Externalisation of Hierarchy on the Physical field or
plane.“This law must be brought into activity by
the spiritual will of man” All humans are struggling
through the various levels of consciousness, travelling
through the 3 Transfigurations. Those who consciously make
the decision to follow the path of Return participate in
what we call the Externalisation of the Hierarchy. They
join the effort to prepare the way for the senior brothers
of the Humanity, the members of the Hierarchy to walk among
us on the physical Plane.As we find the link with our Spiritual
Self we will overcome the influences of Karma as we develop
our spiritual will seeking to serve the Good, the Beautiful
and the True.Quotes received from:1. Alice Bailey Books2.
