Chapter 13 The Igneous Power of Shamballa

This chapter delves into the immense cosmic energy wielded by Shamballa, the planetary center of divine will, and its transformative impact on evolution, destruction, and renewal across kingdoms, races, and planetary cycles. This power, channeled through the Flaming Diamond, is a force of creation, purification, and destruction, shaping the Archetypes that guide all forms of life.

13.1 Key Concepts of Shamballa’s Igneous Power

  1. The Flaming Diamond:
    • The Rod of Power wielded by the Lord of Shamballa, SANAT KUMARA, channels the first Ray of Will and Power, influencing planetary evolution and destruction.
    • It has been used sparingly in pivotal moments, such as the individualization of humanity in Lemuria, the destruction of Atlantis, and the intervention during World War II to counter cosmic Evil.
  2. Three Energies of the First Ray:
    • Destroying Energy: Annihilates outdated forms to make way for new, more adaptable ones.
    • Purifying Energy: Restructures ideals and Archetypes, aligning forms with divine beauty and purpose.
    • Organizing Energy: Orchestrates new cycles, ensuring harmony between intention, idea, and form.
  3. Archetypes and Their Role:
    • Archetypes are divine blueprints guiding the evolution of species, races, kingdoms, planes, and planets.
    • They are created and maintained by higher Devas and Angels, ensuring alignment with the divine purpose.
    • Examples include the Archetypes of human races, kingdoms of nature, and the planetary scheme itself.

13.2 Applications of Shamballa’s Power

  1. Destruction and Renewal:
    • Outdated forms are destroyed when they resist the evolving divine purpose, as seen in Atlantis and the World Wars.
    • This destruction paves the way for new Archetypes, embodying higher ideals of beauty, harmony, and functionality.
  2. Archetypal Evolution:
    • Archetypes evolve through cycles, with each cycle refining forms to better express divine qualities.
    • For example, human root races develop specific psychological and physical qualities, guided by their Archetypes.
  3. Ordination of New Cycles:
    • Shamballa’s power initiates new cycles by aligning Archetypes with cosmic intention, ensuring the continuous evolution of life.
    • This process involves the interplay of divine will, deva builders, and the Archetypes’ radiant influence.

13.2.1 The Archetype of Humanity

  • Humanity is the central Archetype of the current Universe, embodying the divine purpose of the Second Ray (Love-Wisdom).
  • Root races and subraces are minor Archetypes contributing to the perfection of the total human Archetype.
  • The ultimate goal is the realization of humanity as the golden measure of creation, reflecting the virtues of the planetary Logos.

13.3 The Mysteries of Shamballa

  • Shamballa holds the knowledge of Archetypes and the cycles of evolution, guiding the planet’s spiritual and material development.
  • Its power ensures the alignment of all forms with the divine will, fostering harmony between intention, idea, and manifestation.

The igneous power of Shamballa is a dynamic force of transformation, driving the destruction of outdated forms, the renewal of ideals, and the ordination of new cycles. Through its influence, Archetypes evolve, guiding humanity and all life toward the ultimate realization of divine purpose.
