The Power of Group Spiritual Work

Joining Forces in the Aquarian Age

As we move through and experience this Aquarian interlude within the annual astrological cycle, we can recall that the qualities of this energy were the underlying principles of the French Revolution — “liberty, equality, fraternity.” These principles are striving to work out now and will also govern the new and incoming age. Humanity is struggling to free itself from the yoke of its past and its old ways, so that it may live more fully these higher values, which will release so much light and life.

The higher values are permeating the consciousness today of all those who are responding to this new Aquarian vibration, working to bring about a culture of sharing and peace, and adjusting the gross economic and social inequities of this day that cause so much pain and suffering. This growing responsiveness to the inpouring light is the hope at this time.

Our Task

Our task is to bridge the inner and outer worlds through an established alignment within consciousness. Our ability to hold this point aids those who work on the inner planes to move outward because a resonant field is being established, which can support their vibration. It’s a give and take for the many and varied groups, working on different lines of approach to this alignment. They are fed by the life as it circulates from the heart, in conscious alignment with the steadily deepening call of Hierarchy.

This call is one that penetrates beneath the outer cacophony of sounds, the temporary fragmentation within time and space, that attempts to drown out the subtle voice of the soul.

The Concept of ‘Ashramic Sharing’

The Tibetan describes discipleship group work as “ashramic sharing.” The work is anchored by the subjective bonds established within the true, inner home. We who have worked somewhat at the purification of the three lower vehicles of the mental, emotional, and physical bodies strengthen when we come together. Through our group work, we find an increased ability to walk together, to move subjectively closer, and recognize the interconnectedness of all life. This group approach magnifies our creativity. This increase in creativity occurs because, instead of drawing upon our individual talents, the group members are instead able to draw upon the creativity of a larger, collective purpose, which unites us.

All the many different groups, united by a common purpose could be compared to the many arms and hands found within the tonkas and statues displayed upon the eastern Deities. On one level, these various hands illustrate the many groupings within a Master’s ashram–each expressing different mudras or holding different talismans, reflecting the different functions it is their task to undertake within the greater group or guru of which they are a part. United by a common purpose, each group stands as a point of light within a greater light, as strands of loving energy within the stream of love divine.

The Inherent Power of Group

This ashramic sharing also serves as a highly protective mechanism. The protection provided by the group approach makes it possible to become more responsive and to work with much more potent energies than would have ever been possible when working mostly alone as in past centuries. This sharing surly is why humanity has been able to participate in increasing numbers in powerful events such as the recently passed “Festival Week\,” the Wesak Festival, and the June full moon, contacting energies which were previously impossible to hold.

The group approach is potent because each member of the group is valued for their contribution. Their particular skills and qualities contribute to the purpose of the group in which they are involved. These members, enable the aura of the group to reach out and establish a connection with much more potent streams of energy than would ever be possible alone, reaching as well, many more minds and hearts as the energies distribute through the network they create.
