Hierarchy

Gerald asks:
"I was wondering what you know about what, in the 'I AM Discourses,'
they refer to as the Great Central Sun. They say that it is connected
to all Sun's or Star's like ours. And that as all life on Earth
physically is dependent on and fed by the physical sun, so it is for
the Great Central Sun as being the source for the etheric, astral and
Solar or Soular energies, with the physical Sun at the bottom of this
ladder. I was thinking that if consciously tapped into one could pull
these energies forth in sungazing?"
JJ:
One thing that goes against the grain of many new age teachers is the
fact of hierarchy. Hierarchy naturally evolves among all living
things. Since the sun, planets and even galaxies are living then we
can expect to find hierarchy among them.
DK [Djwhal Khul]
tells us that the sun is a part of a group of seven solar systems,
each one representing one of the seven rays. Our sun is on Ray 2.
These seven are then linked to a greater entity which is only known
to the Hierarchy
as "The One About Whom Naught Can Be Said."
This great being is the highest he mentions. This does not mean it
is the highest life in our galaxy, but it is the highest of which
consciousness
upon the earth is capable of perceiving. Even then the
name implies that any contact will not yield much understanding
because His consciousness is so high.
The galaxy and the universe itself has great spiritual centers that
are a source of energy to the creations within it.
Now even though our sun is linked to higher entities in a
molecular relationship
there is little or no advantage in seeking to go higher
than the sun in our contacts. The reason is that the consciousness
of the Solar Logos is
so high in relation to our own that any higher
contact would be meaningless. If a slug encounters an Einstein and a
regular guy, is he likely to learn more from one than the other?
Actually, he will understand neither.
When I look at the sun I visualize receiving from the great life that
is in it, for the majesty of what is there for us is beyond our
comprehension. On the other hand, when you receive from the sun you
are receiving from this entity as it is linked up to
many other
greater lives. It is the job of the Solar Logos to commune with
those greater lives. Our responsibility only extends as high as our
consciousness can reach and few can comprehend much about the Christ,
or the Planetary Logos. About all the seekers of the world can grasp
of the Solar Logos is a sense of appreciation.
"Gold and silver, however, like every other commodity, vary in their
value; are sometimes cheaper and sometimes dearer, sometimes of
easier and sometimes of more difficult purchase. The quantity of
labour which any particular quantity of them can purchase or command,
or the quantity of other goods which it will exchange for, depends
always upon the fertility or barrenness of the mines which happen to
be known about the time when such exchanges are made. The discovery
of the abundant mines of America, reduced, in the sixteenth century,
the value of gold and silver in Europe to about a third of what it
had been before. As it cost less labour to bring those metals from
the mine to the market, so, when they were brought thither, they
could purchase or command less labour; and this revolution in their
value, though perhaps the greatest, is by no means the only one of
which history gives some account. But as a measure of quantity, such
as the natural foot, fathom, or handful, which is continually varying
in its own quantity, can never be an accurate measure of the quantity
of other things ; so a commodity which is itself continually varying
in its own value, can never be an accurate measure of the value of
other commodities. Equal quantities of labour, at all times and
places, may be said to be of equal value to the labourer. In his
ordinary state of health, strength, and spirits ; in the ordinary
degree of his skill and dexterity, he must always lay down the same
portion of his ease, his liberty, and his happiness. The price which
he pays must always be the same, whatever may be the quantity of
goods which he receives in return for it."
