Chapter 11 Rods of Power and Expansions of Planetary Consciousness

This chapter addresses the profound role of the Flaming Diamond and the Hierarchical Rod in transmitting cosmic energy to Earth, driving the evolution of consciousness across planetary spheres, kingdoms, races, religions, civilizations, and nations.

11.1 Key Concepts of the Rods of Power

  1. The Two Principal Rods:
    • Flaming Diamond (Shiva): Represents the positive polarity of FOHAT, transmitting cosmic fire and will.
    • Hierarchical Rod (Vishnu): Represents the negative polarity, transmitting solar fire and consciousness.
    • Together, they channel cosmic and solar energy to expand consciousness across Earth’s “ring-pass-not.”
  2. Seven Spheres of Shamballa:
    • Governed by Archangels, each sphere corresponds to a plane of existence and a quality of the planetary Logos.
    • These spheres transmit energy to kingdoms and species, enabling cyclical renewal and evolution.
  3. Seven Kingdoms of Nature:
    • Each kingdom (e.g., mineral, vegetable, human) evolves through specific planes and Rays, reflecting the planetary Logos’ qualities.
    • The human kingdom, central to planetary evolution, progresses through root races and subraces, each embodying unique spiritual qualities.

11.2 Expansions of Consciousness

  1. Root Races and Subraces:
    • Seven root races evolve over planetary cycles, each guided by a Manu and embodying specific qualities of the planetary Logos.
    • Current root races include the Lemurian (solar plexus), Atlantean (throat), and Aryan (Ajna) races, with future races ascending to higher spiritual centers.
  2. Religions:
    • Each root race corresponds to a great spiritual religion, designed to elevate human consciousness and align it with divine love.
    • The creation of religions involves the interplay of the Rods of Power, devas, and spiritual entities, culminating in the illumination of humanity.
  3. Civilizations and Cultures:
    • The Maha Chohan oversees the development of civilizations, channeling energies from the Rods to inspire advancements in art, science, and social organization.
    • Cultural movements reflect the Rays’ influence, fostering human progress and integration.
  4. Nations:
    • Nations are created through the focused energy of the Flaming Diamond, guided by planetary decisions and karmic factors.
    • Each nation embodies a unique “national spirit,” shaped by devas, Adepts, and human consciousness.

11.3 Hierarchical Participation

  • Sanat Kumara: Wields the Flaming Diamond, transmitting cosmic energy to all planetary spheres.
  • Manu, Bodhisattva, and Maha Chohan: Oversee races, religions, and civilizations, respectively, channeling energies to fulfill planetary evolution.
  • Devas and Adepts: Act as intermediaries, transmitting and manifesting the energies of the Rods across all levels of existence.

11.4 The Mystical Purpose

The Rods of Power serve as conduits for divine energy, enabling the cyclical expansion of consciousness and the realization of the planetary Logos’ plan. Through their influence, humanity evolves spiritually, culturally, and socially, progressing toward unity with the divine essence of love and will.
