[…] Τhe magnetic power of the will that
Christ referred when He said, "I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men
unto Me." This had no reference to the crucifixion but to the magnetic
will of the Christ to draw all men, through the life of the indwelling Christ
in every heart, out of the world of material values into the world of spiritual
recognitions. It did not relate to death [Page 30]
but to life; it had no reference to the Cross but to the resurrection. In the
past, the keynote of the Christian religion has been death, symbolised for us
in the death of Christ and much distorted by St. Paul in his effort to blend
the new religion which Christ brought with the old blood religion of the Jews.
In the cycle which Christ will inaugurate after His reappearance, the goal of
all the religious teaching in the world will be the resurrection of the spirit
in mankind; the emphasis will be upon the livingness of the Christ nature in
every human being, and upon the use of the will in bringing about this living
transfiguration of the lower nature. The proof of it will be the risen Christ.
This "Way of Resurrection" is the radiant Way, the lighted Way which
leads from one great expression of divinity in man to another; it is the way
which expresses the light of the intelligence, the radiant substance of true
love, and the inflexible will which permits of no defeat or withdrawal. These
are the characteristics which will be declarative of the Kingdom of God.
(Alice Bailey, The
Reappearance of the Christ)
