Karmic Relationships Within A Group

“This is the result of past association on the plane of dense substance and controls, to a certain de­gree the family into which the Soul is born. The relationship of the three permanent atoms to the other permanent at­oms will often control the ties of the flesh.

“This can arise out of past association on the emo­tional level, where certain ties have been erected and must, as yet, be transcended before the Soul is free to serve with­out the limitation of emo­tional relationship; or it may be the result of two individuals coming together for the first time, with a common emotional interest. The latter is then the beginning or initiation of a karmic rela­tion­ship that will bring the two back into incar­nation to­gether again and again until it has been adjusted and all that remains is the Soul tie.

“This relationship is brought about by past men­tal asso­ciation or the meeting of minds for a common purpose and is somewhat easier to ad­just than the above, for mental ties are not so binding, nor so long lasting as emotional ones.

“This is brought about through past association. Groups of Souls come in and go out together, and in the process of living they create the conditions into which they are karmically impelled to serve. This type of relationship is completely different from that of any other. The Soul tie is so strong and the realization of a common service karma so great that it will draw these people together against tremendous obstacles arising on the plane of the personality. In spite of personality friction, they will hold together and eventually arrive at an attitude of co­operation based upon mutual love and understanding.

“Within the group there are certain karmic relationships that fall into a different classification from the others. These are a source of difficulty until accepted and understood by all mem­bers of the group, allowing each individual to assume his right­ful relationship to each other individual and to the whole. The relationships are determined by a number of things; the par­ticular field of experience in which the Soul has spent the most time (thus achieving abilities along a certain line, as well as making karma which must be adjusted in the course of his service); the Ray makeup of the Soul of the personality, and the consequent training he has undergone in the past; the relative evolution of the incarnating entity and the resultant polariza­tion of the awareness.

“The karmic relationships within a group may be listed as follows:

This individual will constitute the head center of the group and will provide the 1st Ray drive which will enable the group to accomplish its purpose.

“These may be any number of individuals whose experience has provided them with the Wisdom to balance the energies of the leader, which may at times be impulsed without dis­crimination. These are the disciples who back the leader; who offer council to all members of the group without dis­criminating against another member and who provide the Love-Wisdom which holds the group together as a group. They are the heart center of the group.

“These are the disciples who are the main points of contact between the group and the environment in which the group serves. They provide the intelligent activity aspect, function­ing as the transmitters of energy, in whatever form is neces­sary, from the group to those outside of the group. They are responsible for right relationship between the group and the world, for they bring the fact of the group to the attention of the outer world. They act as the throat center of the group.

“This is the subjective group, consisting of the group leader and a member or members of each of the other group cen­ters. Together they act as the mind of the group, carrying the light of the Soul to the brain. They are the ones who make possible the form through which the activity of the group expression can manifest.
