Darjeeling Declaration

---

(This Declaration is a summary of impressions received in meditation at the World Service Intergroup conclave by forty representatives of spiritual groups from around the world during a meditation retreat held in Darjeeling, India during the five day Wesak full moon period, May 4-9, 2001. Various ideas from the meditations were grouped under common themes and edited for brevity. Although there was not a formal process to agree on every word, participants agreed to the wording of the final document. For a list of the groups whose representatives meditatively participated in its creation, please see the listing on the final page. The participating groups of the WSI do not necessarily endorse the content of the following Declaration.)

The Great Decision

The Great Decision for humanity is whether it will tread the lighted Way and choose to throw off the shackles of all that binds it to the lower realms and liberate itself into the freedom of the Spirit.

The Decision of the Arhats is to provide the energy to humanity to make this possible despite whatever upheavals and destruction this may cause in humanity. For destruction of the form is preferable to the death of the spirit and the living death of souls in bondage. Power will flow to all that liberates humanity from its chains and power will be removed from all that enslaves the Spirit. The time has come for humanity to be free.

The Externalisation and Reappearance is beginning now and the true government, led by disciples and initiates,  will be in place by 2025.

 

What Hierarchy Needs Accomplished

Clarification of the mental plane – remove the illusion and old thoughtforms that prevent clear thought; provide clear thinking on the issues of the times; and present the principles of the new civilization and the fact of Hierarchy.

Purification of the emotional plane – make love and active goodwill the watchword in all human situations and relationships; reorient humanity towards the good, the beautiful and true, and create harmony and tolerance.

Circulation on the etheric/physical plane – ensure adequate pranic life force to all lives in form; provide the basics of life necessities to all human beings; repolarize and reorient to spirit, away from material form.

Hierarchy needs disciples being present and public in the world, reclaiming the world as sacred ground, so humanity can see spiritual power present in the world.

As Hierarchy approaches the world of human politics, it will inspire and guide those disciples who are in positions of power in the world. This will be done from a different perspective and will require, for those who will work in this way, a more profound immersion in the Unity of Life.

Responsibilities of Disciples - Efficient Agents of Evolution

1.  Remain receptive to the impulses of the Hierarchy and through the power of an aligned personality, sense those needs in our areas of service.

2.  Identify the ashram’s note, wherever it is sounded, which requires listening- not to the words, but to the spiritual vibration.

3.  Remember that Truth works!

4.  Courage and Joy in Service.

5.  Temper will and power always with love.

6.  Remember that the growth of humanity originates from the soul within, invoked by the personality.

7.  Be acutely aware of unexpected opportunities and recognize that the impossible is becoming possible.

8.  Embody and inculcate the joy of service as a code of ethics for all.

9.  Demonstrate courage in all we encounter, for although we may appear to be alone, we are not alone.

10.Create centers of Light and Love which attract humanity to learn and know more about the Ageless Wisdom, and provide a safe space for humanity to align with its true nature as the soul.

11.  Stand in Divine Will and let that Will direct all our wills for the creation of a new world social order.

12.  Think, speak and live the Truth in wisdom and compassion, creating the right conditions for the Christ to be born in the cave of the heart of Humanity.

13.  Work, think, love as a Master, actively expressing virtues as values to live by.

Building a New Culture and Civilization

Our task is to begin to create a new culture, a new civilization.  Humanity needs to have a new culture in every field of knowledge: arts, science, politics, economics, religion, education. Culture (Cult-Ur) means Cult Of Light, Cult Of Fire: so we have to reveal the fire through new forms and cultural models.  The birth of a new culture is like a rising of a new sun.

The New Culture is Built by:

1. Maintaining an alignment, not only in meditation, but throughout the day between soul-personality and Shamballa- Hierarchy- Humanity as a way of cooperation with the real need of the Lord of the World.
   

2. Dissipating glamour, especially separateness.
   

3. Externalizing the Hierarchy through groups of disciples reaching people of goodwill with their inspiration and vision.
   

4. Respecting all beings in all kingdoms of nature to better understand every creature and their special part in the plan of spiritual evolution -- the power of essential life in creation.
   

5. Teaching humanity that Spirit and Matter are one energy, and not to be seen as elements in discord. 
   

6. Teaching humanity to purify its mental and emotional as well as its physical diet.
   

7. Helping people ask the question, “do they serve money (or the economy or the bank) or does it serve humanity?”
   

8. Remembering the words, “women, your task is to bring in the new world…”
   

9. Present all things in their highest and the lowest forms to show how the two are united. When there is an ascension from the lowest, and a descent from the highest, a friction occurs and matter enters in her highest radioactive form enabling transfiguration.
   

10. Work with the four levels of consciousness:

¨   Thinkers: show them how to formulate ideas for the new civilization.

¨   The New Group of World Servers: promote global networking in all areas of human activities.

¨   The General Public: educate them to practice active good will, 

¨   Reactionaries: educate them and offset their activities.

11.Creating political and business schools based on values and ethics to develop people who are incorruptible.

12.Understanding Brotherhood as a simple formula to solve world problems.

 

Responsibilities of Discipleship Groups

1. Being in contact with the soul and living the experience of the connection in depth with other groups, which requires work in meditation and right human relationships.
   

2. Nurturing right motivation in every step we take, and orienting group activity towards serving humanity.
   

3. Developing a keen sense of right timing - working in the right moment, not before nor after,  which flows from soul consciousness.

Responsibilities of the World Service Intergroup (WSI)

1.  Meeting humanity’s need for vision, light, hope, and faith in the future – for abundant life -- through a myriad of inner and outer initiatives.

2.  Awakening fellow servers in all fields to a sense of the overlighting presence of the Great Ones by experimenting with this in conferences, retreats, articles in journals of service groups.

3.  Bringing a minimalist 7^th ray approach to providing a forum for coordinating the subjective work of groups working with the power of thought. 

4.  Encouraging all subjective groups to tune into points of focus in the thought life of the New Group of World Servers, and to hold these points of focus in the light.  The United Nations (UN) calendar of years, days and decades is one of the major rhythms for these ‘points of focus,’ as well as major UN Non-Governmental Organizations conferences.

(WSI groups will be notified with a monthly calendar of UN days, other significant global gatherings, and major events being organized by WSI members so we can all support and hold them in the light.)

 

The following Mantram of Fire was used at the Darjeeling Conclave.

(If we are to understand the spirit of the Great Decision, we must realize that the days and years ahead are likely to make unprecedented demands on all of us on the Path. We have been called, and a great deal lies in the hands of the world discipleship community. To answer the call we are going to have to reach into the very heart of our beings, and find the courage and love to do things we never thought we could or wanted to do. It is this Path of service and sacrifice that lies before every one of us. (This mantra and its use are described in The Light of the Soul, by Alice A. Bailey, page 209. Use it only if you feel the inner readiness and call to do so.) 

 

The Mantram of Fire

I seek the Way; I yearn to know.  Visions I see, and fleeting deep impressions.  Behind the Portal, on the other side, lies that which I call home, for the circle has been well-nigh trod, and the end approaches the beginning.

I seek the Way.  All ways my feet have trod.  The Way of Fire calls me with fierce appeal.  Naught in me seeks the way of peace; naught in me yearns for earth.

Let the fire rage, the flames devour; let all the dross be burnt; and let me enter through that Gate, and tread the Way of Fire.
