ESOTERIC LOVE ON MERCURY

In comparison to the other lessons, this lesson will appear to be much simpler
and shorter, for it brings to a close the study of astral magnetism, which forms the
first department of occult physics as it is understood by the monastery of the seven
rays and as it is taught by the masters. We are concerned with esoteric love, which
means the way in which the universe operates in terms of magnetic lines of influence
and fields of force. Mercury is the magical center of the universal system, because it
represents the essence of organisation in terms of communication. Mercury, the ancient
god, was the messenger of the gods. Esoteric love is therefore the administration of
the universal system of wisdom of which THE MONASTERY OF THE SEVEN RAYS is a part.

There are four chiefs to whom have been entrusted the task of administrating the
totality of the magical systems of this universe. They are the esoteric lovers of the
universe, and when they are in union, or in love, they form the concert of the
universe, which is called "THE ESOTERIC COUNCIL OF THE UNIVERSE", or the E.C.U. In the
French,language an ecu is a shield, or disq, which shields the power of creation from
the eyes of the profane. The esoteric lovers who belong to the ECU, the four of them,
have for some time been charged with the responsibility to supervise all occult
temples, monasteries, traditions, and schools of initiation---whichhave links with the
higher worlds and planetary symbols of our universe -- and these four beings are the
only beings allowed to create temples whereby occult teachings can be made known to the
human race at this time. The members of the E.C.U, are the following, showing that the
MONASTERY OF THE SEVEN RAYS IS REPRESENTED ON THIS IMPORTANT COSMIC COMMITTEE:

l.) The Master M. Aquarius of the Monastery of the Seven Rays

2.) The Grand Initiator of the Universal Voudou Religion and Philosophy

3. The Grand Master of the Temple of the Solar Disc

4.) His Beatitude, The Patriarch of the Universal Gnostic Church

Together, these occultists form the committee which is responsible for the flow
of wisdom teachings to the world as well as to other planets of the universe, and for
the harmonious interrelationship between the higher worlds and all of the planets in
physical manifestation.

We will now discuss the role played by each of these higher lords and teachers,
who are directing our world from the esoteric Mercury of .9376 to 1.0000.

I.) The Master M. Aquarius resides in his metaphysical center on Mercury and
communicates with the Earth by means of his specially chosen medium, who has such an
occult status that it cannot even be discussed at this level of teaching. It is
sufficient to say, however, that there is a city in the United States where the medium
lives and from where he is directed to help all of humanity through the MONASTERY OF
THE SEVEN RAYS. The Master M. Aquarius cannot come down to the Earth level of evolution
because of his transcendental reality, therefore he has chosen a medium ideally suited
for the role assigned to him., This medium receives all of the teachings from the
Master M. Aquarius and Racine (who lives also on Mercury) and transmits them to the
world through the monastery of the seven rays. When initiations are given by the Master
M. Aquarius it is through possession of his medium as in classical mystical systems of
spiritualism. The Master M. Aquarius is present in one of his fields of projected force
always in the consciousness of the medium, just as Racine's consciousness has become
one with the syzygy of the particular sphere of magnetism, which he was seeking to
investigate.

2.) There are two occult centers of Voudou, the ancient religion of Atlantis and
Lemuria, which was brought from Venus to this planet many times ago. These occult
centers are in Haiti and in the United States. The Voudou teachings are essentially the
same as certain technical parts of the Monastery of the Seven Rays teaching, except
that we have refined them. However, in Voudou there are the two centers because there
are two forms of Voudou religion and philosophy. There is the primitive form of Voudou,
which has its center in Haiti. Then there is the higher form of Voudou called "Voudou
cabala". which has been developed in the United States. The seat of this cult is, in
Chicago, Illinois. However, the two bishops of Voudou, one for Haiti and the other for
the USA are subject to the Grand initiator of Voudou, who has his esoteric and occult
laboratory on Mercury adjoining that of the Master M. Aquarius. His earthly bishops are
also mediums, who serve to represent his teachings and science to the world. Voudou is
especially strong on Mars, where the blue race seems to have found it a most attractive
form of occult study.

3.) The Grand Master of the Temple of the Solar Disc directs the work of the
shield of life movement. He resides on Mercury and has a very highly developed group of
followers on Jupiter and Neptune (etherically). His work is mostly concerned with the
outer limits of our solar system, and he is concerned in this regard with an entirely
philosophical and therapeutic mission to these other worlds.

4.) The Patriarch of the Universal Gnostic Church is the chaplain of the E.C.U.
and as such he is responsible for the performing of the complicated religious services
which are derived from the magical interpretation of the Catholic Mass. The religious
attitude of the members of E.C.U. is both Catholic, i.e., historically and
traditionally universal, as well as gnostic, for it is directed to the service of THE
COSMIC CHRIST. Now, there are many oriental faiths which do not accept this being, but
their avatara and boddhissattwa are really only approximations to this ideal.
Therefore, they unconsciously seek to serve the Christ, whereas the E.C.U. serve Him
consciously. In the higher study of the Monastery of the Seven Rays, where we talk
about the ECCLESIA SPIRITUALIS GNOSTICA we will tell you how to become members of this
religion, which is only open to the occult elite, since there are not sufficient clergy
to make it a more widespread form of catholicism.

The members of the E.C.U. meet four times a year in order to plan and to discuss
the evolution of cosmic consciousness. These meetings, where there is always a unity of
thought and intuition, but a variety of contributions---becauseof the many different
points of view represented -- are held in conjunction with the following Earthly times:

December 22, "The Feast of the Winter Solstice"

January 18, "The Birthday of the Unknown Philosopher"

July 19, "Commemoration of the Gift of Clairvoyance to Mankind"

July 27, "Festival of the World Teacher of Voudou".

These festivals of esoteric love are designed by destiny to bring forth a wonderful
outpouring of magical power, which will help humanity rise to its spiritual heights of
grandeur. In this state it is possible to leave behind the limitations of lower
magnetism and to enter the true worlds of light. In closing we wish to give you the
magical symbol of this closing lesson and level of magnetism, and we call your
attention to the fact that in the next series of lessons, the next degree, you will
learn how to meet the Master from the higher worlds, and develop the power of
transcendental awareness, which is so sought after by all beings. In order to prepare
for the next level of consciousness, please look at each of the four symbols before you
go to sleep this evening. Try to realise in you mind's eye the magical form and the
force behind it. try and let it speak to you. This will constitute your exercise for
the end of the Student II degree.
Our love and blessings always.
