Ocean planes
The Teachings of Wisdom explain that creation is sevenfold, which we find in both the macro-cosmos and the micro-cosmos. The seven centers in us reflect the seven planes of creation and also the seven kingdoms of nature on earth. The mineral kingdom corresponds to the base center, the plant kingdom to the sacral center, and the animal kingdom to the solar plexus. Humanity represents the laryngeal center that is connected with language and ether. Enlightened thought has its seat in the Ajna center, the spiritual Hierarchy in the heart, and the top spiritual center of the planet, Shamballa, corresponds to our head center.
Among the centers, there are life plans that are described as oceans in the Yoga books. In man, these planes are organized as one within the other. Between the base center and the sacral center is the salty sea, which forms the basis for everything that is dense-physical. The abundant consumption of salt binds man to his physical existence. The sea of sugar is located between the sacral center and the solar plexus. Here, the person is predominantly involved in emotions rather than truth. Those who are on the path of Yoga are advised to consume little sugar to clean this plane. Between the solar plexus and the heart is the sea of alcohol. Here, man is poisoned by his own ideals and thinks that his ideas are the only truth. Many people live with a poisoned idea of God, money, power, or sexuality. Human consciousness must rise above those ideas. In the sea of alcohol, people tend to fall asleep when faced with subtle, spiritual issues, because thinking about a heavy body is tiring. Between the heart and the laryngeal center is the sea of milk where light prevails. Milk cleanses body tissues and gives the body minerals and vitamins. However, as a result of the effects of civilization, we have managed to contaminate even milk. The sea of yogurt is located between the laryngeal center and the Ajna center. Yogurt, means here "slightly jelly-like" and refers to what extent the light has stabilized in us. Between the Ajna and the center of the head are the waters of the sky, crystal clear, and on it is the White Island, in the middle of all the seas. We must contemplate on this plane in meditation. With the travels of our thoughts, we can reach the White Island by closing our eyes and simply thinking about it. We can visualize the White Island every day and, although at first it will only be an idea, it will eventually become a reality. The Initiate, who has established continuous contact with her, can assist in the manifestation of the future.
Sweta Dipa
The White Island, also called Sweta Dipa, is the plane of radiant light, the seventh plane of our planet . In relation to living beings on this Earth, it is the highest world, the plane of pure existence and perfect knowledge. It exists in us as the diamond consciousness in the center of the head. It is the solar center of our existence, as the Sun is the center of our planetary system. Our Earth also has a solar center that is Shamballa. Every living being carries within it a solar center, its own consciousness as I AM. It is the center of its circle, horizon, or focal point. If we meditate on the I AM as the Sun within us, we can realize that the I AM in us and I AM in the Sun are the same. Also called Atma, the atom. The term atom derives from this word. Atma releases the energy of life. In the Atma-Buddhi-Manas triangle, Atma refers to Shamballa, Buddhi to the Hierarchy, and Manas to humanity.
Shamballa, the White Island, is now a hidden place in the etheric plane of the Gobi desert, where only the Initiates have entrance. In ancient times, it was an island of incomparable beauty located in an inland lake. At the beginning of time, humans lived there in a state similar to sleep. The foundation of the Spiritual Hierarchy of our planet also occurred on the White Island; this happened in the middle of the third race, when the Sons of Will and Yoga were born there in an immaculate way, separated from the rest of humanity. The Puranas say that all the Vishnu Avatars originally came from the White Island. According to the Teachings of Wisdom, the White Island is the only place that escapes the destiny of destruction by fire or water that falls on every continent from time to time. It is the original, eternal earth.
The name Gobi derives from Gopi, which means "the hidden one" or "the one who carries a secret"; and the White Island is secret and hidden from the mortal eye. Sanat Kumara, the Lord of the World and leader of this ashram, lives there in the second ether. He is referred to as the "blue child." Blue is "shyama" in Sanskrit and child is "bullet." Thus, from Shyama Bala came Shamballa.
The Seed Impulse for the Year
Shamballa is the place "where the Will of God is known" and our head center is directly in contact with the Lord of the World. Astrologically, this center corresponds to Aries. In the course of the year, Aries represents a new beginning. From the beginning of Aries to the full moon, Sanat Kumara aligns with the Upper Circles and receives the Earth Plan. The Plan is not a thick book, but a vibration, a seed sound, on which the Beings in Shamballa meditate. In Taurus, the sound of the Hierarchy is revealed and, in Gemini, it is transmitted to humanity. If we can discover and recognize the sound in the internal chamber, we can work according to the Plan silently throughout the year. Thus, the months from Aries to Gemini are of special importance. Paying attention to the quality of time and preparing ourselves appropriately, we are filled with fresh energies and vital forces of renewal.
In Aries the main impulse of the new vital force is released with great energy, which destroys old forms and opens paths for new ones. All energies for the planet from the Upper Circles are received by Sanat Kumara on the White Island. Through the Lord of the World, a huge stream of Will energy flows that is damped by Him and His team for the Hierarchy. If the flow of energy flowed directly to the Hierarchy or to humanity, they could not bear it and would burn immediately.
Shiva and Ganga
There is a very beautiful poetic description of this in the Wisdom Teachings of the East. It is said that Shiva, the Lord of Divine Will, summons Ganga, the flow of water in space, to his head, Shamballa, for the welfare of all earthly beings. In his hair, he dampens the energy of the current and transfers it to his heart. The heart is the Himalayas, the seat of the Hierarchy. From the mountains flows the Ganga, life giver, to the beings of the planes and then to the ocean. There, the sun god raises it again. Thus, the divine current descends on four levels, and if man uses these energies wisely for the benefit of all mankind, he can ascend to heaven again. The rays of the Sun transform the water of the salty sea and make it rise in a purified way. In that way, Ganga returns to space through the sun god, only to return from there again for his love for humanity. We can visualize this path in our spine.
The Human Potential
To receive inspiration from the Higher Beings, we have to complete the steps directly before us; otherwise, our dreams of the White Island will continue to have no meaning. Every time we return from a trip to distant worlds of our physical bodies, we experience pain. It feels like they are compressing us into clothes that are too tight. So, every experience of that class is wonderful, but also difficult. Eventually, there is a condition in which the individual soul merges with the Universal Soul, the White Island. The challenge is to reach infinity from the limitation. As long as the connection with the infinite is broken again and again, we will be called in the spiritual `` animal ''. Only when we live in the infinite, we are man because this is the potential of every man. Each of us carries within this seed of the highest mastery, which one day will bear fruit.
