A “plane” refers to all the matter inthe universe that is formed from aparticular type of atom. Forexample, the mental plane is the sumtotal of all the matter that is formedout of 3-atoms. In contrast, a“world” refers to the portion ofmatter of a particular plane that isassociated with a planet. Forexample, the mental world is thesphere of mental matter thatsurrounds and interpenetrates theEarth. This chapter describes thesubtle worlds that surround theEarth, but much of the informationcan also be applied to the subtleplanes in general.Chapter 3 stated that a galaxy is aseries of 49 interpenetrating spheresof matter from all 49 planes, and
that a solar system is a series of 7interpenetrating spheres of matterfrom 7 planes. Continuing along thesame lines, a planet is a series of 3interpenetrating spheres of matterfrom 3 planes (physical-etheric,emotional and mental-causal).Like human beings, the Earth hasfive bodies (or worlds) composedof five types of matter (causal,mental, emotional, etheric andphysical). The other visible planetsin the solar system are all similarlyconstructed, but there are alsoinvisible planets that are in theprocess of “incarnating” and don’thave a “physical body” yet. It isstrange to think of planets as livingentities but they are; they just belongto a different evolutionary path than
ours. The Earth is the only planetin the solar system that is, has been,or ever will be, home to physical life,but all planets (physical and non-physical) are home to subtle life-forms at some time or another –that is why they exist.When a planet “dies” its bodiesdissolve just as ours do. The Moonis a dead planet and the ball of rockwe see in the night sky is its deadphysical body, which will take billionsof years to breakdown. Planets arespherical because their variousgrades of matter are concentricallyarranged around the ensoulingmonad. Our physical world includesthe solid planet, the liquid oceansand the gaseous atmosphere. Thesubtle worlds interpenetrate the
physical world just as waterinterpenetrates the soil, but eachsuccessively higher subtle world alsoextends further out into space,beyond the atmosphere. Theemotional world is known to extend
We are asking anyone who has a sparebicycle at home, to please bring it tothe Centre. It doesn’t matter if it’s in
need of repair (minor).
If you would like to make a financialcontribution, that would be great as
well, as we will then go to some secondhand shops and see what we can buy
there.
We would like to delivera bicycle to every child by
April this year!
Earth's spiritual evolution takesplace within a framework ofnumerous cycles, one of which isthe 2000 years cycle dominated byone of the seven Rays as it expressesthrough a particular zodiac signenergy. For the past 2000 years,Earth has evolved under theinfluence of the 6th Ray, withAscended Master Jesus serving asChohan. The 6th Ray has ruledduring the Piscean Age and ischaracterized by devotion toreligious creeds and idealism as it isportrayed by becoming a martyr.All forms of self-annihilation,suicide, terrorism have characterizedhumanity's misunderstanding of
the 6th Ray energy.Now, it is time for humanity to
begin functioning on the 7th Ray asit expresses through the energy ofAquarius. The 7th Ray functionduring this New Aquarian Age is tobring forth the Spirit in all matter,that humanity awaken to the factthat Spirit indwells all of creationTo work with all things inrecognition that we are working withSpirit. For example: humanity'sawakening to the healing propertiesof crystals and that as we use them,we are working with Spirit. The 7thRay is the Ray of the Alchemist.The process of changes that turnlead into gold. We function on the7th Ray as we seek to re-unite ourpersonality with our Soul and fulfillthe life mission of the Soul.
It is by no coincidence that wewere guided to call our beautifulcentre the Seventh Ray SpiritualCentre. For the guides knew whatthey were doing when they used usto create it. And we need to keepthis uppermost in our minds. It isthrough the Centre that we are allworking together to fulfill the lifemission of our Souls and so togetherwe are walking this path and togetherwe are finding out new and excitingthings along the way.
Because this change from oneray energy to another is very slow,
you will be hearing a lot said aboutmoving from the Age of Pisces intothe Age of Aquarius. We areextremely fortunate that the changeis a gradual one. We are humanbeings are always reluctant to makeeven the smallest change in our lives,let alone be changed by a hugeenergy Ray. So the secret is toembrace this change. To let it flowand to go with that flow. Swimmingupstream is extremely tiring - in factit's exhausting and such wastedenergy. Swimming upstream willnever get you to your destinationand will just cause more and morefrustration as you watch other peoplepassing you by.
We have been given the Creativeenergy of the Great I Am. Don'tbe afraid to use it on a consciouslevel, for we use it every day anyway,even without us knowing. Takecharge of your life and the abilityto use the Creative energy in aforceful and meaningful way, so thatyou can feel the benefits and reapthe rewards of your efforts.
Feel the excitement of thesechanges within your very core andin embracing this change and makingit a part of your life, you will see aturn-around in your life which, wealways emphasise, has a positiveeffect on those around you. And inso doing, we are all working together
to make this world a better place.To make it a place where we can allbe proud to call ourselves a memberof the human race. A place wherewe honour the Creator within eachone of us, starting with honouringthe Creator within ourselves. Thismeans loving and respectingourselves for the perfect andbeautiful human being that we arefor as we all know, it is the perfectand beautiful soul within that makesthe perfect and beautiful humanbeing.
We give thanks to the Guidesand all the Spirit Helpers who haveworked tirelessly to make theSeventh Ray Spiritual Centre whatit is today. The last nine years havebeen so exciting and rewarding forus all. We have met such amazingpeople and been steered along ourpath to do great things. Theknowledge that we share and that isgiven to us by each of our Guidesis priceless. Let us cherish eachmoment that we spend together forit is truly a Blessing from the Divine.
Your as alwaysIn Love and LightGlynis and Lillian
How to Attain Peace of MindbySwami Amar JyotiLet me giveyou a secret: to know God's willwe have to have peace. If weknow His will, His motivationwill be our motivation, and wewill do accordingly. Cosmic willis supreme. If we try to makeour egotistic will supreme, weare bound to experiencefrustration, regret, failure anddisappointment. Have you everthought about why our wishesare often unfulfilled? We wantthings done our way, yet ifeveryone had their way it wouldbe chaos. If things are nothappening as we want, thankGod! And if our will andactions are not being fulfilledas we want, that means we are
weak. Therefore our first dutyshould be to become strong, todrive away weakness.What causes us to be weak-minded or weak-willed?Selfishness and fear causeweakness; therefore we are notable to do what we want.Secondly, perhaps we are tryingto do our own will, not whatGod wants us to do.Somewhere we have to modifyour desires, to become strongerby avoiding selfishness and fear.Ego is very limitedconsciousness; it has been calledignorance. Even the desires wehave that are fulfilled often giveus problems, confusion,headaches and suffering. Attainpeace of mind so that you come
in tune with your Lord andknow His will. This is the surestremedy. How to know God'swill is very easy if you tune upyour mind in peace first. Witha desirous mind you cannot bein tune, try as you may. That iswhy making your mind peacefulshould be foremost. And whenyou get in tune you will see,amazingly, that all your desiresare fulfilled. You will have nofailures, no frustrations. Tunein with the Lord's will throughpeace and He will do all thingsthrough you. This is a perfectlypractical formula, notphilosophy or asceticism.Otherwise you may inherit thewhole earth but you will not befulfilled.

Introduction to the Seven Planes taken from The Science of Spirituality by Lee Bladon ©2007
Good Or White Magic A White Eagle Teaching'Good or white magic is
performed with the knowledgeand assistance of the Angels ofLight. It is a ritual carried outby a good person who worksfrom the heart centre. Becausethey love, they do not try toimpose their own will uponothers. They seek nothing forthemselves, but work unselfishlyfor the good of the many. Inthe New Age, many groupswho work with the White Lightwill spring up, all over the Earth.To work in such a grouprequires the spirit of selfless
service and dedication, and alliesthe server with the Forces ofLight.
'If, however, people wantto work entirely for themselves,to draw everything tothemselves and to impose theirwill upon others, then they forman alliance with the negativeforces. The true brother andsister has no thought ofthemselves. Their one desire isto give love and light, to blessand raise all God's children toa Higher state [ofconsciousness]. They give
without reservations, from thedepths of their being. Thisselfless giving distinguishes thewhite from the dark magic'.

half way to the Moon, and themental and causal worldsconsiderably further.The lower subplanes of the subtleworlds are nearer to the surface ofthe Earth and the higher subplanesare farther out. The Earth’s subtlebodies are largely contained withinits physical body, as are our own.The lowest emotional subplane (2:1)is in alignment with the lowestphysical subplane (1:1), whichcorresponds to solid physical matter.All of the Earth’s solid matter (1:1)is below our feet, and so is most ofthe 2:1 matter. The lowest emotionalsubplane (2:1) is known as the“underworld” because it is literallyunderneath the world. So “hell” isliterally inside the Earth – more onthat later in the chapter.
Figure 10a shows the Buddhistnames and characteristics for thesubplanes of the physical, emotionaland mental planes. I wouldn’t takethe bodily heights or life-spans tooliterally, but they do give an idea ofthe increased spatial dimensions andfaster perception of time associatedwith the higher planes. The word“dhyana” means meditation,indicating that certain advancedbeings on the mental plane createand sustain “forms” using the powerof their minds. The levels of “focus”(21 to 35) are the terms RobertMonroe used to identify the varioussubplanes he explored in his out-of-body experiences. There are sevensubplanes within each plane, yet onlysix are accessible to human beings.This is because our subtle bodies
only contain molecules (e.g. 2:1–2:6)and not atoms (e.g. 2:7), so we can’tperceive the seventh subplane.Consequently, we experience briefperiods of unconsciousness whenwe pass through the seventhsubplanes of the etheric andemotional worlds (either during sleepor after physical death). Purgatory,Paradise and Heaven are realms thatwe pass through after physical death,and these will be explained later inthe chapter.Alternative Names for the SevenPlanes or WorldsThe emotional plane (2) is oftenincorrectly called the “astral plane”.The term “astral” was first used inthe 19th century to describe the factthat three times as many stars arevisible with “higher sight”. But night
does not exist in the emotional worldbecause emotional-plane light canpass through the Earth unhindered,so no stars are visible. It is ethericsight that allows three times as manystars to be seen, so the “astral” planeactually refers to the etheric plane.The divine plane (6) is oftenincorrectly called the monadic plane,because Theosophists mistakenlybelieve the third triad to be themonad. Figure 11b lists some ofother names that the seven planesof the solar system are known by.These subtle worlds are not “places”that exist somewhere else; they areall around us, all the time.
