Chapter 14 THE LORDS OF THE FLAME
MAGICAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING THE COMING OF THE LORDS OF THE FLAME TO EARTH
The arrival of the Lords of the Flame from Venus to Earth, as described in esoteric tradition, marks a pivotal moment in planetary evolution. These 105 advanced beings, traveling at the speed of light within a “cloud of fire,” established the foundation of the Great White Brotherhood and initiated the spiritual and evolutionary development of humanity and the planet.
- The Arrival of the Lords of the Flame:
- The Lords of the Flame, 105 Venusian entities, traveled to Earth using advanced magical mechanisms, possibly a gigantic Mayavirupa (body of light), moving at or beyond the speed of light.
- They landed on the “White Island” in the Gobi Sea, establishing Shamballa as the spiritual center of the planet and the cradle of the Great White Brotherhood.
- Division of the 105 Lords:
- The Lords were divided into three groups of 35, each fulfilling a specific mission aligned with the three creative principles: Will (Shiva), Wisdom (Vishnu), and Activity (Brahma).
- Each group was further subdivided into five groups of seven, reflecting the sacred numbers of Venus (5) and the solar system (7).
- Missions of the Three Groups:
- First Group (Will): Led by Sanat Kumara, this group governed the Earth’s spiritual organization. Sanat Kumara became the Lord of the World, while His disciple, the “Lord of the Races,” prepared the mineral kingdom for human physical bodies.
- Second Group (Wisdom): Focused on developing astral consciousness in humanity and sensitivity in the vegetable kingdom. The “Second Kumara” later established the Department of Spiritual Teaching, now led by the Bodhisattva (e.g., Krishna or Christ).
- Third Group (Activity): Introduced mental energy into the animal kingdom, enabling the evolution of primitive humans. This group worked with the Fifth Creative Hierarchy (“Solar Angels”) to bestow the gift of mind, laying the foundation for human civilization.
- The Role of the Solar Angels:
- The Solar Angels, or “Children of the Mind,” descended from the cosmic mental plane to endow humanity with intellect, enabling the transition from animal-human to self-aware beings.
- Legacy of the Lords of the Flame:
- The three Kumara leaders eventually passed their responsibilities to Earth-born Initiates, establishing the hierarchical roles of Manu (Politics), Bodhisattva (Teaching), and Maha Chohan (Civilization).
- Their work continues to guide humanity’s evolution toward the fifth Kingdom of Nature, the realm of liberated souls.
- Esoteric Significance:
- The Lords of the Flame exemplify the principles of organized Magic, using their mastery of cosmic laws to shape Earth’s spiritual and material evolution.
- Their arrival and work align with the broader cosmic plan, connecting Earth to Venus and the solar system’s higher spiritual hierarchies.
In summary, the Lords of the Flame brought transformative energies and wisdom from Venus, catalyzing humanity’s spiritual and mental evolution. Their work established the foundational structures of planetary governance, teaching, and civilization, guiding Earth toward its ultimate destiny as a sacred planet.
