Gran Hermandad Blanca
Orden espiritual de santos occidentales y adeptos orientales que se han unido al Espíritu del Dios vivo y que comprende las huestes celestiales. Han trascendido los ciclos de karma y renacimiento y ascendido (acelerado) a aquella realidad superior que es la morada eterna del alma. La palabra «blanca» no se refiere a raza sino al aura (halo) de luz blanca que circunda su forma.
En cada era y en cada cultura han surgido Maestros Ascendidos de la Gran Hermandad Blanca, unidos por los más altos propósitos de la hermandad del hombre bajo la Paternidad de Dios, para inspirar logros creativos en la educación, las artes y las ciencias, el gobierno divino y la Vida abundante en las economías de las naciones. La Hermandad comprende entre sus rangos a ciertos chelas no ascendidos de los Maestros Ascendidos. Jesús el Cristo reveló la existencia de esta orden celestial de santos «vestidos de blanco» a su siervo Juan en Apocalipsis[1].
Propósito
La función principal de la Gran Hermandad Blanca es devolver la libertad del Uno a la conciencia de la humanidad mediante el amplio esparcimiento de la comprensión del cosmos, las Leyes infalibles que gobiernan los ciclos y el destino del microcosmos (hombre) y el Macrocosmos (su verdadero hogar de Luz).
Fundación
La idea de la Hermandad nació en la mente de Dios a través de la conciencia Crística universal que era el Logos, la luz pura del Gran Camino Blanco. Dios Padre no podía contemplar el mal ni contemplar la iniquidad, pero a través del Cristo, se mantenía enterado de cada situación en el universo. La inteligencia del Cristo dotó al concepto del Padre con la Realidad tangible de la Gran Hermandad Blanca. Así nació la prenda sin costuras de la conciencia crística universal.
La Hermandad es la esperanza de todo hombre. Es el plan de Dios para la expresión ordenada de su amor. Su provisión es para la elevación del individuo mediante la elevación de la totalidad, así como para la elevación de la totalidad mediante la elevación del individuo. Es un medio eficaz por medio del cual Dios se acerca sigilosamente para realizar sus maravillas y milagros de rescate y salvación a un mundo que se ha apartado del camino de la justicia.
Aunque de origen espiritual, la Gran Hermandad Blanca mantiene hoy un contacto muy real con la gente de la Tierra. Los iniciados superiores son bastante conscientes de su contacto con la Hermandad, mientras que los iniciados menores trabajan y sirven sin ningún conocimiento consciente del contacto con la Hermandad. La Gran Hermandad Blanca también funciona en otros planetas y en otros sistemas de mundos.
Membresía
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.”
Funciones de la Hermandad
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.[2]
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.
