Alice Bailey, in her esoteric writings, described the Shamballa force as a potent, divine energy emanating from the spiritual center of the planet, Shamballa. This energy, governed by the Will of God, is said to influence humanity and the Earth profoundly, particularly during periods of transformation and crisis.
What makes this time in human history both exciting and concerning are the questions facing every one of us. Will we rise to meet the many enormous challenges? Can we deconstruct our own illusions? Are we willing to participate in the re-creation of a more sustainable and equitable global paradigm? Are we truly willing to change?
The Shamballa force is characterized by three distinct energies: purification, destruction, and organization. These energies pour into our world and work in tandem to facilitate the evolution of consciousness and the establishment of a new world order aligned with divine principles. Can we consciously work with them?
Purification
The energy of purification is an essential aspect of the Shamballa force. It seeks to cleanse the planet of outdated patterns, stagnation, and impurities that hinder spiritual progress. This energy brings clarity, revealing hidden truths and dispelling illusions that cloud human perception. On a global scale, purification manifests as a collective awakening to higher values, such as inclusivity, justice, and harmony. On an individual level, it inspires inner cleansing, encouraging people to shed egoic tendencies, align with their higher selves, and embrace spiritual ideals. This process can be challenging, as it demands confronting and releasing deeply rooted fears, prejudices, and attachments.
Destruction
The destructive energy of Shamballa may seem harsh, but it is necessary for transformation. This force dismantles structures, systems, and ideologies that are no longer aligned with the greater good. It breaks down what is obsolete or obstructive, paving the way for new growth. Destruction, as Bailey explains, is not chaotic but purposeful, guided by divine will. It ensures that only what is essential and in alignment with higher truth survives. This energy is evident in times of global upheaval, where outdated political, economic, or social systems collapse, often leaving space for more equitable and spiritually attuned structures to emerge.
Organization
The energy of organization completes the triad, bringing order out of chaos. After the processes of purification and destruction, this energy establishes new patterns and structures that resonate with the divine plan. It inspires humanity to organize and rebuild in alignment with higher principles, fostering cooperation, unity, and service. This organizing force strengthens the foundations of a more harmonious and enlightened civilization, embedding values of goodwill and right human relations. On a subtle level, it aligns individual and collective actions with the rhythm of the planetary and cosmic purpose.
Together, these three energies of the Shamballa force—purification, destruction, and organization—serve as powerful agents of evolution. They ensure that humanity and the planet progress in accordance with divine intention, navigating the tension between the old and the new. Today, as Humanity straddles a cliff above an abyss of annihilation, we must each ask ourselves: do we choose the darkness of separated self or the light of wholistic truth?
In Bailey’s vision, the Shamballa force heralds an era of greater spiritual awareness, where humanity steps closer to embodying its higher potential as co-creators of the divine plan. Are we ready?
