Christ-consciousnes
Beyond the
mental plane, the initiatory impulse or emphasis is upon the life aspect, upon
dynamic energy, and upon the cause of manifestation, and this incentive to
progress is not based on revelation, which is ever incident to or related to
the significance of light. Light and revelation
are cause and effect. The coming
revelation for which all men wait, and which will come when world adjustment
has [Page 75] reached an already determined point, is concerned with the
impartation to the human consciousness of the meaning and purpose of life; this
will take place in a gradually unfolding series of spiritual events. I cannot and must not put these truths more
clearly, even if the necessary words were available to express what is not as
yet even dimly sensed by disciples of the first and second degrees of
initiation. What will come through that
series of spiritual happenings and their inevitable reaction upon the whole
body of humanity is in no way related to consciousness, to revelation or to light. There will come to humanity at some moment
still a long way ahead a period of realisation, constituting both a point of
crisis and a point of tension. That
realisation will summarise, in effective conditioning consciousness, all that
the quality of sensitivity has conveyed to mankind throughout the ages. It is the consummation of the activity of the
Christ-consciousness, and is the state referred to when it is said of the
Christ: "He shall see of the travail
of his soul and be satisfied." At
the crisis of that revelation, at its highest point of tension, humanity as
with one voice will say:
"Behold! All things are
become new." This is the apotheosis
of vision and the prelude to an unfoldment in the general massed human
consciousness (from that point in time slowly brought about) of certain powers
and capacities of which the race is today totally unaware. The immediate revelation ahead will be only
the first step towards this distant related point, and its significance will
not be apparent to the present generation, or even to the next; it will,
however, be steadily though gradually appreciated as the new world religion
with its emphasis upon the invocation of energies and the evocation of
"life more abundantly" is developed and has its inevitable effect. Students would do well to bear in mind that
the impact of energies upon forms produces results which are dependent upon the
quality of the forms receiving the impression.
This is a statement of occult law.
(Alice Bailey, The
Rays and the Initiations, p. 75)
