Chapter 1: The Awakening of Consciousness

While delving into Alice Bailey’s Esoteric Psychology I, I stumbled upon a thought-provoking passage (page 21):

Let’s consider as a symbolic analogy the notion of a Central Life (external yet within our solar system during manifestation). This essence chooses to materialize and incarnate. A force vortex is generated as a precursor, resulting in both an immanent and transcendent God. …¹

As I continued reading, I began to equate God with Consciousness, which inspired a story title I momentarily set aside for further exploration. That was four months ago in September, when my life became overwhelmingly busy!

On a cozy Saturday morning in December, while catching up on reading and watching TV, I encountered a synchronistic event, which I elaborated on in my piece "The Magic of the Seventies." I intended to publish that article on January 20. However, as I finalized the concluding paragraphs, the notion emerged that it could serve as a preamble to my upcoming "God=Consciousness" article.

Currently, I haven’t published that article, and I likely won’t until I am closer to releasing the "God=Consciousness" piece, which I anticipate may not happen until July—perhaps.

In "The Magic of the Seventies," I concluded with an astrological analysis of Pluto's influence in Virgo, Libra, and Scorpio. Pluto embodies the first ray, representing the energy of Will/Power.

The will's energy is the most potent force in the entire planetary existence framework. It is known as the Shamballa Force, the binding essence that maintains coherence in life. ²

Unexpectedly, the direction of "The Magic…" shifted beyond my initial intentions, prompting me to reflect on this for a few days. I was intrigued to realize that the connection I referenced served a deeper purpose. I suspect that my "superconscious" ³ aided in my writing.

My goal in this article is to clarify certain concepts I will reference in future writings. The seven rays represent embodiments of seven distinct forces, each illustrating one of the divine qualities. The seven rays comprise the entirety of divine Consciousness and can be seen as seven intelligent entities through which the cosmic plan unfolds. Shamballa—the primary ray force—emanates from the major world center, Shamballa. (I will discuss this first ray force in my "God=Consciousness" article.) Master D.K. states:

You have been informed that this force has made its initial direct impact on humanity during this century (20th); … This direct influence will again manifest in 1975 and again in 2000.

The first direct influence led to the Great War (WWI and II). Since the onset of the new millennium, concerns have arisen regarding the potential for another world conflict. My next two articles will explore these subsequent impacts, yet my focus remains on the constructive application of the first and second rays. I perceived a manifestation of the dynamic will of the first ray within our rock music. After composing the second article ("The Magic..."), it became evident that I also needed to address the destructive aspects of this energy, which left me in a challenging mental state.

4. Shamballa — the realm where Sanat Kumara and His Pupils exist within the higher ethers of the physical plane.

This involves understanding the seven planes, which I have yet to discuss. Shamballa serves as the head center of our planet, acting as a directing entity. I simplify this concept by viewing Shamballa as the governing authority of our “inner government.”

I recognize that the scientific community has largely dismissed the concept of God, likely for good reasons, given the limited understanding of God’s true nature.

However, Consciousness remains an undeniable reality in my perspective, and I believe it should not be overlooked.

Here, I will quote Leonard Peikoff from his book Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand:

Inherent in a man's understanding of any object is the acknowledgment that: there is something I am aware of. There is — existence; something — identity; I am aware of — consciousness. These three are fundamental axiomatic concepts recognized by the philosophy of Objectivism.

An axiomatic concept, as defined by Ayn Rand, is:

The identification of a primary reality fact that cannot be analyzed, i.e., reduced to other facts or dissected into components. It is implicit in all facts and knowledge, the fundamentally given and directly perceived or experienced, requiring no proof or explanation, but serving as the foundation for all proofs and explanations.

Existence, identity, consciousness — the primary facts of reality.

What constitutes a ‘concept’? I appreciate Ayn Rand's explanation in her book The Virtue of Selfishness, page 20:

A “concept” is a mental integration of two or more perceptual concretes, isolated through abstraction and united by a specific definition. Every word in human language, except proper names, represents a concept, an abstraction signifying an unlimited array of specific concretes. By organizing perceptual material into concepts and subsequently into broader concepts, individuals can acquire, retain, identify, and integrate vast amounts of knowledge, extending beyond immediate perception.

I’ll conclude here. This text contains a wealth of information that warrants further explanation and clarification, which I hope to provide in the future.

Chapter 2: The Cultural Resonance of Will

In this official video by Ava Max, the themes of self-discovery and empowerment resonate powerfully, echoing the underlying messages of will and consciousness explored in this article.
