Celebrating the start of a truly unique spiritual organization

Two weeks ago we celebrated the formal start of The Aetherius Society, on August 2nd. The Aetherius Society is a truly unique spiritual organisation which gives us opportunities we have never had before to help others and attain enlightenment. This is the path we now call King Yoga.

As part of these celebrations we have selected the following inspiring extracts from the words of our founder, Master of Yoga Dr George King, talking in 1984 about our humble beginnings and the importance of working together – like so many lighthouses around the world – to inspire humanity towards realization of our true Divine heritage.

‘The Aetherius Society – A unique organisation’

“From tiny beginnings in 1955 The Aetherius Society has been evolved into a tremendous spiritual power for good in the world. There’s no other organisation like this, nor, according to the Great Masters, has there ever been. When I first founded The Aetherius Society in 1955, of course I was ridiculed because my thoughts, expressions and even spiritual ambitions were so far ahead of their time that they were not understood or even appreciated.

“These teachings and expressions and knowledge came from another place and another time and, as far as the world was concerned in those days, some strange futuristic fantasy. It was just a matter of holding the thought, not deviating from it, becoming totally subservient to God and his angels, if you wish to call them that, in complete, absolute, utter surrender, forgetting all else. And when one does this one always wins. You may not appear to win but you will. People have done this throughout the centuries and they’ve died as martyrs, to become greatly honored many years, sometimes centuries, after their demise. But this was not the motive, as far as I was concerned. I knew that I was doing the right thing because I had inspiration from people who were above any person or intelligence on this earth. So therefore I was dedicated to this.

“If you’re going to follow anybody, pick the best and follow him. You know, anyone can stoop and pick up nothing. But you have to reach upwards to find out what is right, and stand fast. The Great Cosmic Orator, Mars Sector 6, says, when talking about God, when talking about religion, when talking about your spiritual path, “Choose well, stand fast and know God.” … But you do have to choose well, and you do have to stand fast, in order to know God. And if you want to know God, then associate with those further along the path than yourself, and you will know God from them better than you will know God from anyone who is not as far along the path as yourself. This is pretty basic logic and I was rather surprised that man could not easily see this. But he couldn’t and he didn’t, at least as far as I was concerned, for a number of years …”

“… we became engaged in some Cosmic Missions not offered to any other organisation on Earth. And I’ll tell you why. When I was commanded by the Great White Brotherhood, I mean the real Great White Brotherhood, not the figment of certain people’s imaginations; the real people, to start The Aetherius Society, these words were said: that it is not that we wish to start another organisation and thereby add to the confusion already existing, but to start something new without us having to completely disrupt an organisation – to start something new, is something that we can use. In other words, start it off in the right way and then keep it operating in the right way, and the Cosmic Masters have virtually said the same thing. Do you mean to say that if somebody like Aetherius wanted an Aetherius Society started he couldn’t have completely disrupted the Roman Catholic Church, picked out 10,000 people and said, “you run it, and you’ll run it that, that, that, that, that.” Well if you think that then I’m sorry. He wouldn’t, but he could have done.

“So therefore we started and later on we had to … we were offered certain missions … too many to list here, but as we go today we are running Operation Space Power. You know every day, don’t you, or at least every week, you hear about some earthquake somewhere – there was one in – what, two, three in California a couple of days ago, the earthquakes don’t seem to diminish but the death roll diminishes. And the death roll from earthquakes are getting less and less and less and less, even taking into consideration very heavy quakes. That’s not by chance. Nothing happens by chance. There’s not such a word as “chance”. There’s not such a word as “coincidence”. There’s such a word as “conditions”.

“So, our Operation Space Power is helping to stabilize things in this respect, [as is] our Operation Sunbeam. I’ve been promised a Transmission by Mars Sector 6 and I’ve asked Mars Sector 6, through certain communication channels, to give us this Transmission one of these days: ‘The world without Operation Sunbeam‘, and I’m going to make every Member of The Aetherius Society learn it verbatim. Our Operation Space Magic is another fantastic Operation. The Saturn Mission. The Saturn Mission is directly, not indirectly, directly responsible for the low death toll from so-called natural catastrophes. In the last few days we had two Missions of The Saturn Mission and one of the things that happened from those two Missions was that 30,000 people per sub-phase – multiply that by six – 30,000 people per sub-phase, were saved from death or severe mutilation, from so-called natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, tornados, this, that and the other. We’re not talking about something that happened 15,000 years ago, you know … Talking about something that happened in November 1984.

“Operation Prayer Power – I don’t think we have to tell you what we have done with that. We’ve stopped wars, we’ve brought healing to many parts of the world. And when I say stopped wars I mean stopped wars. Not every war that we’ve tried to stop did we stop, immediately, because we couldn’t do that without gross interference, so it was a gentle healing process. Operation Prayer Power is the greatest spiritual healing tool that the world has ever seen, which has been put, and don’t quote me wrong, which has been put into the hands of ordinary people, and you’re the people who send out your prayer to be used in Operation Prayer Power. You do it. It’s your energy. You invoke it. Alright some of us help to manipulate it, but purposely we let you invoke it.

“Our teachings, literature, tapes are becoming more popular as the times go on. You’d be amazed where some of our books have found their way into and some of our tapes. From the highest in the land to the lowest in the land. From palaces to prisons. And wherever they have gone they have left their mark.

“Inside the Society we are gradually spiritually evolving into a small but powerful temple through learning and through our Temple Degree Examinations …

“And the big secret of our continued success is that, if we remain united and work together as brothers, then there is not a force in the land which can stop our progress, no matter what force that is, and no matter how they try. We may be held up, possibly, but never stopped. We can go on talking about this wonderful Society for many hours without covering a fraction of it. Without even chipping the surface. Or we can just, at this stage anyway, feel ourselves very fortunate that we were inspired to come along, because nobody forced you to come along – inspired to come along – and join the ranks in the first place. Somewhere down the line something inspired you to start to enquire and from then on, you went forward and went forward.”
