Great White Brotherhood/de

Ein spiritueller Orden westlicher Heiliger und östlicher Adepten, die sich wieder mit dem Geist des lebendigen Gottes vereint haben und welche die himmlischen Scharen bilden. Sie haben die Zyklen von Karma und Wiedergeburt transzendiert und sind in jene höhere Realität aufgestiegen (beschleunigt), welche der ewige Aufenthaltsort der Seele ist. Das Wort „weiß“ bezieht sich nicht auf die Rasse, sondern auf die Aura (Heiligenschein) aus weißem Licht, die ihre Gestalten umgibt.

Die aufgestiegenen Meister der Großen Weißen Bruderschaft, vereint für die höchsten Zwecke der Bruderschaft der Menschen unter der Vaterschaft Gottes, sind in jedem Zeitalter aus jeder Kultur und Religion hervorgegangen, um kreative Leistungen in der Erziehung, den Künsten und Wissenschaften, der Gottes-Regierung und dem überfließenden Leben durch die Wirtschaftssysteme der Nationen zu inspirieren. Die Bruderschaft schließt in ihren Reihen auch bestimmte unaufgestiegene Chelas der aufgestiegenen Meister ein. Jesus Christus offenbarte diese himmlische Ordnung von Heiligen, „in weiße Gewänder gehüllt“, seinem Diener Johannes dem Geliebten in der Offenbarung.

Zweck

Die Hauptfunktion der Großen Weißen Bruderschaft besteht darin, das Bewusstsein der Menschheit zur Freiheit des Einsseins zurückzuführen, und zwar durch die weltweite Verbreitung eines Verständnisses des Kosmos – jener unfehlbaren Gesetze, welche die Zyklen und das Schicksal des Mikrokosmos (Mensch) und des Makrokosmos (seine wahre Heimat des Lichts) regieren.

Gründung

Die Idee der Bruderschaft wurde im Geiste Gottes durch das universelle Christus-Bewusstsein geboren, welches der Logos war, das reine Licht des Großen Weißen Weges. Gott der Vater konnte weder Übel schauen noch auf Ungerechtigkeit blicken, aber durch den Christus war er mit jeder Situation im Universum in Kontakt. Die Christus-Intelligenz stattete das Konzept des Vaters mit der greifbaren Realität der Großen Weißen Bruderschaft aus. So wurde das nahtlose Gewand des universellen Christus-Bewusstseins geboren.

The Brotherhood is the hope of every man. It is God’s plan for the orderly expression of his love. It is his provision for the raising of the individual through the raising of the whole, as well as for the raising of the whole through the raising of the individual. It is an effective means whereby God reaches out secretly to perform his wonders of deliverance and his miracles of salvation to a world that has departed the path of righteousness.

Although spiritual in origin, the Great White Brotherhood maintains a very real contact with people on the earth today. Higher initiates are quite aware of their contact with the Brotherhood, whereas lesser initiates work and serve without any conscious knowledge of the contact. The Great White Brotherhood functions also on other planets and in other systems of worlds.

Membership

The members of this spiritual fraternity represent the Godhead as rays of light flooding forth from the sun, each one carrying an aspect of the Creator’s consciousness and making it practical to embodied souls. The members are not permitted to divulge their membership—even to other members. They may, however, acknowledge service under the direction of the masters of the Great White Brotherhood.

One of the best-known members of the Great White Brotherhood is the Ascended Master Jesus the Christ, whose Galilean ministry was a magnificent manifestation and fulfillment of centuries of intense preparation and millennia of divine intent. The higher initiates of the Brotherhood are known as “the Lords of the Flame.”

Functions of the Brotherhood

Every ascended master belongs to the Great White Brotherhood, and those who aspire to union with this Brotherhood must aspire to the Christ consciousness. It is not possible to reveal all of the myriad functions of the Brotherhood and the methods by which it seeks to assist mankind and protect mankind against himself. It is the agency of God upon earth, and while it has been much maligned and misunderstood, it continues to function and will until every individual upon this earth attains his natural God-intended freedom. Let us however present the sacred goals set forth by the Chief of the Darjeeling Council of the Great White Brotherhood.

At the beginning of the New Year in 1968, beloved El Morya released a fifteen-point program of assistance, which the councils of the Brotherhood had determined to release to mankind during that year. These points sum up the purposes of the Brotherhood through the ages, and so we include them here in order that those who desire to place their hands firmly in the hands of the Brothers in White may understand specifically what they may do to further the divine plan for the earth and invoke the assistance that the heavenly hosts deem most important at this hour of world need.

El Morya writes:

Who can deny the needs of this hour or of humanity? Who should? It is our earnest desire to render the following assistance to mankind individually and collectively as they are able to respond to the ministrations of the Heavenly Hosts:

1. to step up the level of individual service in order to provide for greater clarity of understanding to men of lesser comprehension;

2. to set forth in a most desirable manner the higher teachings of cosmic law for those who are able to grasp them;

3. to create more stable ties with the Hierarchy through our cosmic outposts in the world of men;

4. to introduce new levels of integrity, justice and faith in government and business and in religious, scientific and artistic endeavors;

5. to assist those who have seen or experienced little of the heavenly kingdom by amplifying the power of godly vision among men;

6. to develop the spiritual nature of all peoples in order that they may experience greater joy in carrying out the will of God wherever and whenever they are called upon to serve;

7. to sustain faith in those who yet must walk by it;

8. to meet the spiritual needs of mankind at all levels of consciousness;

9. to promote peace and understanding in order to accelerate the manifestation of cosmic purpose;

10. to utilize renewed interest in extrasensory perception and matters of the Spirit in order to direct the seeker toward the unfolding of his latent divinity rather than involvement in a search for the phenomenal;

11. to elucidate further to mankind upon the great story of the cosmic Hierarchy;

12. to build mighty pools of reserve energies as reservoirs of spiritual power that can be used by the disciples of the ascended masters in their service to mankind and for the blessing of all life directly from the retreats of the ascended masters;

13. to secure new dispensations from the Karmic Board that will feed these energy pools and embodied individuals connected with the Hierarchy with sufficient power and cosmic know-how to externalize the plan for the year;

14. to encourage all, even the downtrodden, to keep high their faith in the ultimate outpicturing of the glory of God, right while perceiving the absolute necessity to counteract the ignorant manifestations of mankind involved in their excessive materialism, the use of psychedelic drugs, dissonant music and art forms, and vain pleasure-seeking to their own hurt; and

15. to integrate the whole man in accordance with the original divine plan.

The Summit Lighthouse

The Summit Lighthouse activity derives its authority from and is sponsored by the Great White Brotherhood. As long as it upholds the tenets of that Brotherhood to the best of its ability, the Brotherhood will, in this age, and we hope in many to come, use the arm of the Summit to uphold the torch of enlightenment unto man.
