Mahachohan

Mahachohan
**The Work of the Lord of Civilization, the Mahachohan** Group three has as its head the Mahachohan. His rule over the group persists for a longer period than that of his two Brothers, and he may hold office for the term of several root-races. He is the sumtotal of the intelligence aspect. The present Mahachohan is not the original one who held the office at the founding of the Hierarchy in Lemurian days - it was then held by one of the Kumaras, or Lords of the Flame, who came into incarnation with Sanat Kumara - but he took hold of his position during the second subrace of the Atlantean root-race. He had achieved adeptship on the moon-chain, and it was through his instrumentality that a large number of the present more advanced human beings came into incarnation in the middle of the Atlantean root-race. Karmic affiliation with him was one of the predisposing causes, thus making this eventuality possible. His work concerns itself with the fostering and strengthening of that relation between spirit and matter, life and form, the self and the not-self, which results in what we call civilization. He manipulates the forces of nature, and is largely the emanating source of electrical energy as we know it. Being the reflection of the third, or creative aspect, energy from the Planetary Logos flows to him from the throat center, and he it is who in many ways makes the work of his Brothers possible. Their plans and desires are submitted to him, and through him pass the instructions to a large number of the deva agents. IHS, p 45

In the department of the Mahachohan a large number of Masters, in fivefold division, work in connection with the deva evolution, and with the intelligence aspect in man. Their divisions follow those of the four minor rays of attribute: just as the three departmental heads represent the three major rays of: The four rays or attributes of mind, with the third ray of intelligence, as synthesized by the Mahachohan, make up the sumtotal of the fifth principle of mind or manas.
