The Externalization of the Hierarchy - Section IV - Stages in the Externalization |
It is interesting to note (though it is of no immediate
moment) that the work of destruction initiated by the Hierarchy during the past one
hundred and seventy-five years (therefore since the year 1775) has in it the seeds - as
yet a very long way from any germination - of the final act of destruction which will take
place when the Hierarchy will be so completely fused and blended with Humanity that the
hierarchical form will no longer be required. The three [567] major centers will then
become the two, and the Hierarchy will disappear and only Shamballa and Humanity will
remain, only spirit or life, and substance as an expression of intelligent love will be
left. This corresponds to the experience of the individual initiate at the fourth
initiation, when the causal body, the soul body, disappears and only the monad and its
expression, the personality (a fusion of soul and form) are left. This event of final
dissolution will take place only at the close of our planetary existence, when the door to
individualization is finally closed for a pralayic period and the Way of the Higher
Evolution will be more closely trodden than the Path of Initiation. Therefore, my brothers, the closer relation of the Hierarchy to Shamballa, the stimulation of its own interior life, and the readiness of humanity for revelation and for certain unexpected development, will condition the cycle into which we are now entering. This is, therefore, the most amazing period in the history of humanity. Added to this, it must be borne in mind that we are entering another greater round of the Zodiac, and this coincides with the lesser zodiacal activity because Aquarius governs the greater immediate cycle of 25,000 years and is also the sign into which the sun is now moving for a period of 2300 years - a most amazing happening and full of import in our planetary history; it is a coincidence of which our planetary Logos is well aware and of which He is making full and intelligent use. It is a cycle also wherein, for the first time, the three major planetary centers - Shamballa, Hierarchy and Humanity - are in direct and unimpeded relation, for today the alignment is correct and adjusted for the first time in planetary history. Even if this be only temporarily so, something has been initiated, the effects of which will never be lost. It is a cycle also in which the planetary Logos, having successfully taken initiation and thus affected His entire planetary life, has also established certain extra-planetary relationships which are necessarily incomprehensible to you and of no moment whatsoever to the individual human being, but which will eventually create a situation in which our planet will become [568] a sacred planet. This process, as it unfolds and develops, will have a potent subjective and deeply spiritual effect upon every kingdom in nature and in the realm also of super nature. Let us now proceed with our consideration of our theme, after our study of these basic premises. |
