In our consideration of this fifth point of revelation, a most complete picture is given of the three stages of the process, which I mentioned earlier: Penetration, Polarization, Precipitation.

In this particular revelation, all the planes (of the cosmic physical plane) are involved; this, in itself, is unusual; the entire proceeding concerns the penetration of the blended seven rays throughout all the states of consciousness as indicated by the seven substantial planes. This must be remembered, because the concept of "planes" is almost irretrievably (and I use this word advisedly) associated with the idea of matter or of substance. This is basically correct, and yet the emphasis must be upon the aspect of consciousness as it informs substance. The effect of the penetration with which we are now dealing is upon the many varied types of consciousness which express themselves through the seven types of substance. The blended energies penetrate through the medium of stage after stage of conscious awareness; nevertheless, they only affect those forms of life which react instinctively to their influence. The importance of the present penetration lies in its completeness and in the fact that response to these blended energies is definitely more rapid and inclusive than ever before in planetary history.

There are, therefore, three stages in the penetrating process at this particular time:

1. The initial act of penetration which takes place "within the area guarded by the Spirits of the seven Rays." This connotes extreme activity in Shamballa and also necessitates the cooperation of the Lord of the World and of the entire Council over which he presides.
2. The achievement of a point of Polarization. The preceding [428] penetration of the energies reaches a point of focus upon the mental plane and there - for a brief time - an unique process of consolidation and of consequently greater fusion is brought about. In this unique moment in the history of humanity, this moment of potency is appropriated by mankind.
   I wonder if you realize the gravity and the importance of this statement. Because humanity has passed through a great cleansing process and because in the world today there are many aspirants and disciples, the effect of these penetrating energies is such that they inevitably evoke response. They become polarized or focused upon the mental plane. Because of this also, everybody who is mentally centered and controlled, as well as aspirationally motivated, is faced with an imperative opportunity. This opportunity is unprecedented in human history and is also based upon certain astrological relationships which I have also touched upon in this series.
3. Because of the evolutionary preparedness, evident in the consciousness of humanity, the penetration of energies which have already reached a point of Polarization upon the mental plane is now being continued, and the result is a definite precipitation of all these energies upon the physical plane, in dense physical substance; the precipitation is also evident in the ordinary consciousness of ordinary mankind. This statement, you will have to accept on faith. The evidence for the truth of the statement will be found in increased human receptivity to the will-to-good which the activity of all the seven rays (custodians of the divine purpose) promotes.
