The Meaning of Shambala

by The Aetherius Society

According to advanced occult sources, eighteen million, six hundred and seventeen thousand, eight hundred and forty one years before the birth of Christ the Lord of the Flame from Venus came to this Earth and took his residence on the space craft built for him over what was then an island within a sea which is now the Gobi Desert of Mongolia. That craft and its location has been called throughout history as Shamballa and acts as the outpost of the Cosmic Hierarchy of this Solar System on Earth.

The Lord of the Flame coming from Venus was called in the ancient writings the ‘Sanat Kumara’ or ‘The Ancient of Days’ and came to this Earth for a very important reason. His coming was described in the ancient Brahmin tables and reproduced in the excellent book Flying Saucers Have Landed by George Adamski and Desmond Leslie as follows:

“Then with the mighty roar of swift descent from incalculable height surrounded by blazing masses of fire which filled the sky with shooting tongues of flame, the vessel of The Lord of The Flame flashed through the aerial spaces. It halted over the white island which lay in the Gobi Sea. Green it was and radiant with fairest blossom that Earth offered, Her fairest and best to welcome Her King”.

The human race before his coming for the most part inhabited another planet within this Solar System called by some ‘Maldeck’ and others ‘Luccifer’. The remains of this planet which orbited between Jupiter and Mars can be seen today as the asteroid belt- millions of pieces of cold rock, the remains of a planetary being. The question arises how did this planet disintegrate and the answer is indeed a truly shocking one which involves us all.

Maldeck in those far off days was inhabited by a fairly evolved race of people who had reached a higher level of evolution than we have on this earth today. The following is a description of life upon Maldeck, taken from an excellent work, The Nine Freedoms by Sir George King, Western Master of Yoga, and the Founder/ President of The Aetherius Society:

“They studied the philosophies and dabbled in the sciences as do terrestrials (mankind upon earth), except that these people were more advanced in many ways than are earthlings. The Planet was so highly mechanised that robots took care of all the menial tasks. The inhabitants had discovered a rudimentary form of Space travel, but soon found that their craft did not posses sufficient cruising range owning to the fact that their fuel was too heavy to allow them to penetrate far into the system. They could control their weather so that drought and famine became long forgotten. The majority, having an abundance of food, having no menial tasks to perform soon become content to while away their unrecallable hours in the sun. They became, in comparison with the higher planetary cultures, a selfish, lackadaisical people seeking after their own enjoyment, as do the majority of terrestrials.”

On this planet we had the highly evolved Masters of White Magic but also those that had trod down the left hand path of black magic. These latter beings, intoxicated by their quest for power and allowed to grow powerful by the apathy of the masses searched for the means of conquest of this planet. Not heeding the warnings of the White Magicians they finally found an ultimate weapon and in war between themselves used this atomic devise splitting the hydrogen atom to its core. An unstoppable chain reaction resulted, for unlike the hydrogen bomb of today this weapon released all the energy within the atom and thus was the planet Maldeck destroyed in a searing flash. The body of a Great Planetary being had been destroyed - a terrible Cosmic Crime and the whole race had lost a home in space. Not only this but their auric bodies had been damaged to such an extent that they were virtually insane.

The Great Masters new that every planet within the solar system except the Earth was too evolved to possibly provide a home for this race of people who had allowed the few to commit this terrible crime. So it was that the Earth was approached and she consented to allow the diseased life streams to incarnate upon her back knowing full well what this would entail throughout the centuries. An advanced race then living the human race before leaving for higher spheres.

Because of the terrible state of man the Sanat Kumara also came at this time to help the Logos of this Earth as a living and extremely highly evolved being. He also came to help the human race through their state of insanity, so that they might regain the ability to say ‘I am’ am start back on the road of evolution again. For over 18,000,000 years did this Great Cosmic Intelligence reside upon Shamballa until 1956 at the command of the Lords of Karma he returned to Venus and was replaced by another lesser being from the same planet who was known while he was on earth as Lord Buddha.

Leading up to this man had evolved and built 3 civilisations, namely, Lemuria, Atlantis and the present one. Amazingly enough, both of the previous civilisations were destroyed by firstly nuclear experimentation and in Atlantis by a nuclear war. It is not by chance that UFO’s have been seen in great numbers since 1945 when we rediscovered and used a nuclear devise on Nagaski and Hiroshima. Once again we had reached the stage of being able to destroy this planet but for one major difference. Unbeknown to the ,majority of people on this planet, on July 8th 1964 an event which many great seers had prophesied for after the year 2,000, happened, namely “ The Primary Initiation of the Logos of this Planet”.

Fantastic energies were given to this earth in an operation which lasted less than an hour and we are now held in abeyance within the very heart of the planet. When ‘She’ decides or is commanded to release these energies, then all life on the physical, psychic and spiritual realms of earth will be able to stay. Because of this the Cosmic Hierarchy have stated that in no way will man be allowed to threaten the life this earth as happened on Maldeck and previously also on this planet.

Shamballa is not just a state of consciousness but a very real place which has helped to ensure the light of evolution as visualised by the God’s could continue on this beautiful planet. Its true significance and the retreats of the ‘Great White Brotherhood’ - the elders brothers and sisters of the human race will be fully known as the earth moves into the real New Age which no force in this world can now alter.
