Community, as a living organism, has seven energy centers for the flow of the One Life and Light through everyone of its corporate parts.
Part 1
The energy centers of Community, their integration, their energy quality, and their function can be described as follows:
Crown Center
The Crown Center of Community is integrated by those who in the silence of their lives embody the Soul and the Purpose of the community in which they participate. The group which they form is usually a small one. Their main characteristic is the ideal way of living that they embody and exemplify so that others, already motivated in their hearts to be Community, can have a visible, tangible example of the goal.
The energy that is embodied and that flows through this center is the energy of the Divine Soul Itself expressed as a purposeful, loving and intelligent living.
It is obvious that the human beings who integrate this center will be relatively advanced on their path of Self-discovery of the Divine Nature. This Self knowledge gives them the capacity to penetrate at will into the Heart of God and into the Universal Mind. It is this penetration into the Divine what makes possible their identification with the Soul and Purpose of the community. This knowledge of the Divine Self also gives them the wisdom to bring forth and share the revelation of the Vision towards which the community is moving — again, they do this through a living revelation of the Vision, through example.
Through the activities of the Crown Center of communities, humanity will discover and encourage the true aim and direction of Education.
Heart Center
The Heart Center of Community is integrated by those who in the silence of their lives embody and express the Oneness of all Life. They embody that kind of Love which automatically negates separateness in the community life. Yet, theirs is not a militant attitude to suppress or negate separateness in themselves or others. They ceaselessly live at the center of Divine Love and, therefore, they embody, think, feel, act and radiate the Oneness of all Life, even through their very act of breathing air.
The energy that is embodied and that flows through this center is the dual energy of Life and Love, that is, the energy of the Divine Spirit Itself — in our Universe, the highest aspect of the Divine Trinity. This energy is expressed as a loving, radiating and nourishing living that strengthens the manifestation of the Divine in all beings in the community.
Similar to the formation of the human body, this energy center is the first one to appear in a community of Light. The human beings who integrate this center will also be advanced on their path of Self-discovery of the Divine Nature. Theirs is the task of being “the Light and Life of the Community” that reveals, not their individual advancement on the path, but the Divinity unfolding in all others around them. They do this by being a continuous outgoing and radiating Love which negates all barriers.
Through the activities of the Heart Center of communities, humanity will discover and cultivate the true nature and purpose of Religion.
Brow Center
The Brow or Ajna Center of Community is integrated by those who in the silence of their hearts and minds register the Plan of development for the community. Yet it is not the development of the physical and organizational aspects of a community life. They first register, and then embody, the steps that are necessary for the Soul and Vision of their community to manifest as a community of Light. They first register in their minds and hearts, and then embody, the kinds of relationships that allow the Divine Love and Life to flow unimpeded through every corporate part of the community.
The energy that is embodied and that flows through this center is the energy of Divine Wisdom expressed as loving, supporting and motivating relationships with all beings, human and otherwise.
Analogous to the human form, this energy center in the community life is created by the combined activity of the Crown and the Heart Centers of the community. The radiating and exemplifying lives of the members of these two centers will make possible the appearance of this Brow Center. Only when these three centers are formed, we can truly say that Community has been firmly anchored on Earth.
Throat Center
The Throat Center of Community is integrated by those who in the silence of their minds and hearts grasp the needs of the Plan, as formulated by those of the Brow Center, and then proceed to organize the resources of the community to satisfy those needs. This energy center is, therefore, the center of the manipulators of resources and “divine doers”. Yet, theirs is not the function of organizing and distributing the physical resources of the community and its members. Theirs is the task, first, of assessing the mental, feeling and vital energies that are flowing through the community at any one time; second, of directing these energy resources to those corporate parts in the community which need them; and third, of coordinating the radiation and sharing of these energy resources with other communities.
The energy that is embodied and that flows through this center is the energy of the Divine Creative Intelligence expressed as a wise, loving and creative activity which reveals harmony, beauty and perfection at every level of the community life.
This energy center, similar to the one in the human energy body, comes into activity and is energized by the energy radiation and thoughts coming from the Heart and the Brow Centers of the community. The individuals who integrate these three centers will, therefore, establish a relationship based, above all on Loving Wisdom.
Through the activities of the Throat Center of communities, humanity will discover and cultivate the true purpose of Science.
Let’s now proceed on to “The Body of Community — Part 2” of the energy centers of Community.
