The Externalization of the Hierarchy - Section IV - Stages in the Externalization |
He, the Representative of the love of God, is asked to work
again in the world arena wherein His earlier message has been negated, forgotten or
misinterpreted for two thousand years, and wherein hate and separativeness have
distinguished all men everywhere. This will plunge Him into a foreign atmosphere and into
a situation wherein all His divine resources will be needed and will be tried to the
uttermost. The generally accepted idea that He will return as a triumphant warrior,
omnipotent and irresistible, has surely no basis in fact. That He will ultimately lead His
people, humanity, into Jerusalem is a fact, founded on a secure foundation; but
it will not be into a Jewish city called Jerusalem, but into "the place of
peace" (as the word Jerusalem means). A careful consideration of the world situation
today, and a dedicated use of the imagination, will reveal to the sincere thinker how
appalling is the task which He has undertaken. But He has again "set His face to go
up to Jerusalem" (Luke IX.51); He will again appear and guide mankind into a
civilization and a state of consciousness in which right human relations and , world wide
cooperation for the good of all will be the universal keynote. He will - through the new
group of world servers and the men of goodwill - complete His with the Will of
God (His Father's business) in such a manner that the eternal will-to-good will be
translated by humanity into goodwill and right relations. Then His task will be done; He
will be free again to leave us, this time not to return, but to leave the world of men in
the hands of that great spiritual Server Who will be the new Head of the Hierarchy, the
Church Invisible. The question now arises: In what way can we be of service? How can we aid during this preparatory stage? On this point I have but little to say. The whole idea of His return is so familiar to you in its anticipatory nature (though not in the factual details as I have hinted them to you) that I find it hard to say anything practical or which will arrest your attention. [610] What the members of the spiritual Hierarchy are doing is much indeed; those disciples who are in conscious touch with the Masters of the Wisdom - or, if you prefer the term, with the senior disciples of the Christ - are working day and night in order to establish such confidence, correct attitudes and understanding of the divine spiritual "push" or enterprise that His way will be made easier. They and their groups of lesser disciples, aspirants and students of the realities stand unitdely behind the Christ and can thus enable Him to accomplish His purpose. Their major realization is that of a cyclic crisis in the spiritual life of our planet; it is one which has been anticipated in the Father's House (Shamballa) for thousands of years. They have registered the fact that, for the first time in human history, all the three spiritual centers or groups through which God works are unitedly focused on the same objective. Shamballa, the Spiritual Hierarchy, and Humanity (the Father's House, the Kingdom of God, and the world of men) are all striving in one vast movement for an intensification of the Light of the World. This Light will irradiate in a fashion unknown before, not only the Father's House, which is the source of all our planetary light, but also the spiritual center from which have come all Those Teachers and World Saviors Who have stood before men and said, as did Hermes, the Buddha and the Christ: "I am the Light of the World." This light will now flood the world of men, bringing illumination to men's minds and light into the dark places of human living. It is light and - above all else - "life more abundantly" which Christ will bring, and until He brings it we know not what it signifies; we cannot realize the revelation which this will entail and the new possibilities which will open before us. But through Him, light and life are on their way, to be interpreted and applied in terms of goodwill and of right human relations. For this the spiritual Hierarchy is preparing. This time the Christ will not come alone, for His co-workers will come with Him. His experience and Theirs will be the reverse of the previous one, for this time [611] every eye will see Him, every ear will hear Him, and every mind will pass judgment upon Him. |
