revelation / RESURRECTION

THE INITIATION OF REVELATION

REGENERATION AND RISING

Easter is a time of Joy, a time of ‘release unto greater Life’.

OUR PRAYER INTENTION:  Let us recognize the rising divine “Christ within Us” in fulfillment of the divine Plan.

∞

"It is the Christ life in all forms which constitutes the evolutionary urge. It is the Christ life which makes the steadily unfolding expression of divinity possible in the natural world. It is deep within the heart of every man. The Christ life brings him eventually to the point where he transits out of the human kingdom (when the work of normal evolution has done its part) and leads him into the kingdom of spirit. The recognition of the Christ life within the form of man makes every human being, at some time, play the part of the Virgin Mary to that indwelling reality. It is the Christ life which, at the new birth, comes to fuller expression, and from crisis to crisis leads on the developing son of God until he stands perfected, having achieved "the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ (Eph, 4, 13)".

“We shall see later that upon the revelation of the risen Christ must the new world religion take its stand. Christ upon the Cross … showed us love and sacrifice carried to their extreme expression; but Christ alive from all time, and vitally alive today, is the keynote of the new age, and upon this truth must the new presentation of religion be built and, later, the new theology be constructed.”

“The true meaning of the Resurrection and the Ascension has not yet been grasped; as a divine subjective reality those truths still await revelation. The glory of the new age will be the unveiling of those two mysteries, and our entrance into a fuller understanding of God as life.”

“The true Church of Christ is the assembly of all who live through the life of Christ, and whose life is one with His. This will be increasingly realized and will bring forth into clearer and more radiant light the wonder and glory which lies, unrevealed as yet, in God the Father."  (FBTC, 162/3)

CONTEMPLATE and REFLECT on the above and absorb these living truths now and in the years to come.

In the altar of the heart is a living flame,

A radiant fire, Sun —

 The Light of Love, the Love of Life.

“THE SECRET OF THE WILL —

The Unconquerable nature of Goodness,

The Inevitable triumph of the Good”.

“The whole concept of Resurrection is the new and most important revelation which is coming to humanity, and which will lay the basis for the new world religion.”  (R&I, 318)

“Resurrection is the keynote of nature; death is not. Death is only the ante-chamber of resurrection. Resurrection is the clue to the world of meaning, and is the fundamental theme of all the world religions—past, present and the future..." 

"Resurrection of the spirit in man, in all forms, in all kingdoms, is the objective of the entire evolutionary process and this involves liberation from materialism and selfishness.”

“In that resurrection, evolution and death are only preparatory and familiar stages.”  (EOH, 469)

CONTEMPLATE

The living display of life

“In the coming cycle, ... the great goal of all religious teaching will be the resurrection of the spirit in man, and eventually in all forms of life, from the lowest point in evolution to the highest monadic experience.  The emphasis in the future will be upon the "livingness of the Christ nature"—the proof of which will be the Risen Christ—and upon the use of the will invoking this "living display." 

“The glory and the radiance of the Transfiguration initiation will eventually be relegated to its destined place, and what is meant by the "display of life" will ... be sensed in its unimaginable beauty."  

(Rays & Initiations, 318 — Master DK/Alice A. Bailey)

THE GAYATRI

Let us sound the Gayatri to greet the "Rising Sun" and invoke the Loving Will of God pervading the solar system and the life and resurrection energies of Aries pouring through the Heart of the SUN, the "Son of Divine Love" and through Earth’s Centers:

"Oh Thou, Who givest sustenance to the Universe,

From Whom all things proceed,

to Whom all things return.

Unveil to us the face of the true Spiritual Sun,

hidden by a disk of golden light,

That We may know the Truth and do our whole duty as

we journey to Thy sacred Feet (Fire).

ENTERING THE SOUL STAR GROUP

~ A SYNTHETIC HEART FIELD OF THE LIVING CHRIST ~

[Replay the music as often as is needed; you may need to reload the page to do so]

∞

Stepping into the Christ field …

Let us FEEL the living CHRIST inside our Heart, not as an image but as an energy — a Living Presence

Sound in Love the names of those with Whom you are working … Sense the living Presence of each Soul, visualizing every Soul as a radiant sphere of light and love — a five-pointed star of the perfecting human (of divine potential) above every Crown.  As we sound our names in love, we see ourselves as “Participating Souls” filled with the Christ Spirit channeling Christ energy to the Soul of Humanity and all the Kingdoms upon the Earth (Soul, human, animal, plant, mineral) “where on Earth we live.” 

∞

Let us now see ourselves as radiant, living spheres of luminous Love standing in the radius of a radiant circle ... connected through a LIVING field that is the Heart of the Christ Who stands in the sanctum of an inner circle — symbolized for us by the greater five-pointed Star of the Christ (His Star five-pointed, His number Eight).  

Let us now intone the ancient invocatory mantram:

"Lord Maitreya, Be With Us"

(Say 3x - 2nd and 3rd times inwardly nearly in a whisper)

(Let us Pause in the Silence of His Presence — intensifying the field of our Consciousness)

Imagine the Soul Star Group standing in the auric field of the MASTER of all Masters

~ Teacher alike of Angels and Human.

OM

∞

INTONE (imaging the Christ speaking to us):

Hide not the secret of your Heart, O Son/Daughter of God.

Broadcast widely the Love of Thy Soul as a Light unto the World.

∞ 

Through Light shall ye see Light,

Through Love shall ye Know Love,

Through Life shall ye truly Live,

∞

O Pilgrim on the Way, Offer the gifts of Thy Salvation — Holy Love, Holy Light, Holy Will

to a thirsting humanity who would drink deep of the waters of Life

for a new Harmony to prevail upon the planes of our Earth.

∞

Thus is the new Temple of Humanity built,

Thus shall ye Know a new Earth,

Thus shall the Sons of Men who know not they are the Sons and Daughters of God

Turn their faces to the brightness of a new Day

To Know the Self as One

With Gifts of Freedom, pure ~

Yours, now to give.

∞

Then will the veils of the earth be lifted,

Revealing luminous Beauty,

Joy-filled Days,

and Holy Companionship upon the Way.

OM

Amen

ʘ

the keynote of nature is RESURRECTION

“Resurrection is the denial of death, being the assertion of Life.

Thus is all the thinking of the world reversed entirely.”

(ACIM)

The note and message sounded by the Christ when last on Earth was resurrection and a "progressive understanding of the eternal verities". 

Resurrection teaches essentially the "lifting up" of matter into heaven - the "livingness of Life" and the state of "unalterable Being". 

“The state of unalterable Being constitutes the nature of the Monad [Spirit], and it is to this condition of awareness that Christ attained when He functioned as a World Savior and thereby guaranteed, by the force of His achievement as a personality-soul, the same point of attainment for us, for we are equally and essentially sons of the Father or expressions of the Monad, the One.”    (EOH, 469/70)

Let us affirm the ESSENTIAL TRUTH of our "unalterable Being" ... and the inevitable and ultimate RISING of our Souls to five-pointed perfection … thence to the One.

LET IT BE DONE.

THE RADIANT WAY

"The line or the path or the Way of Resurrection is the "Radiant Way" …

“ ...  It is a Way which is composed of the light of intelligent substance, of the radiant attractive substance of love, and the karmic way which is infused by the essence of inflexible will.  Forget not that karma is essentially the conditioned will of the planetary Logos as He orders all things toward the ultimate goal of life itself through the process of livingness, of loving understanding, and of intelligent activity."    (R&I, 318)

PAUSE to CONTEMPLATE —

The Way of Resurrection — the Radiant Way — God’s Way “ordering all things” toward the ultimate goal of life Itself in Divine Order.

— Divine interconnectedness, Divine Relationship, Divine Order.

advanced REVELATIONS

“ FOUR MOMENTS OF THE CHRIST”

IMPRINTING FOUR 'VIBRATORY REALIZATIONS' TO RISE WITH THE CHRIST

To the degree of our unfoldment, sensitivity of response, and strength of Aspiration and Desire that is in resonance with higher Will, we can experience and understand something more of the nature of Christ’s great achievement. We can come into synchrony with Christ’s revelations and realizations as He “went unto the Father” to begin the next phase of His work in higher spheres of Living.

What follows are four Realizations with their corresponding “Words of power” as given and understood by the Master DK (in the book Reappearance of the Christ (ROC), 27/30).  By entering into these high Thoughts and resonating with the living Idea, through them we gain a potent sense of these states of Being as they impress an exalted energy pattern in us (and through us). These four moments are "states of Being".

INSTRUCTIONS

Read through all four with care and CHOOSE ONE.  Having chosen one, move into Contemplation. With a contemplative mind – the Christ Mind, read it again penetrating it "purposefully".  Repeat the "Word of Power" as an Affirmation several times, rhythmically, allowing ourselves to synchronize with the Soul who is in realization of the Truth of Being ~ embodying the living substance in “our all.”

These "Words of Power" carry the reality of the living Idea behind the Thought— the “living Idea” that is evoked as a living energy from its high source — whence it came.  Though few among humanity can as yet live in the full stature of their Inner Christ, these "Words of Power" when entered into as Souls will 'condition' and vibrationally move us toward that full stature on the Radiant Way.  We can experience the vibration and be drawn up ... Rising to new Revelation — understood and experienced as Resurrection.

Know that your chosen WORD OF POWER will condition you throughout this year ~ initiated in the Sign Aries of new beginnings. Come back to it rhythmically in meditation, perhaps monthly at Full Moon or New Moon times, or birthdays, or major seasonal spiritual points of focus.

Four Recorded Moments in the Gospel Story - A fuller reference for study

To begin, start the music and allow it to play to the end and repeat as needed; thence when complete, sound the sacred word, OM (or Amen, So Be It) to seal in the high vibration.

ʘ

(Translation of latin “lux in tenebris lucet” — “the light shines in the darkness”.

FOUR WORDS OF CONTEMPLATIVE POWER

I — CONTEMPLATION:  “There is His statement to His parents in the Temple, "Wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?" We should note here that He was twelve years old at the time and, therefore, the work with which He had been occupied (as a soul) was finished; twelve is the number of completed work.… The symbolism of His twelve years is now replaced by that of the twelve apostles, the symbol of service and sacrifice. He was also in the Temple of Solomon, which is the symbol of the perfect life of the soul… Christ was, therefore, speaking on soul levels and not only as the spiritual man on Earth. He was also serving, when He spoke these words, as a working Member of the Spiritual Hierarchy, for He was found by His parents teaching the priests … These points all indicate His recognition of His work as a World Teacher, becoming conscious, for the first time in His physical brain, of divine intention or of the divine will."

WORD OF POWER AFFIRMATION: “I must be about my Father’s business” or “I must be about my Father’s Will”.

Sound the Sacred Word, OM, sealing in the new vibration

∞

II — CONTEMPLATION:  "It was the magnetic power of the will that Christ referred when He said, "I, if I be lifted up, will draw all … unto Me.”  This had no reference to the crucifixion but to the magnetic will of the Christ to draw all [humanity], 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 but to life; it had no reference to the Cross but to the resurrection”.  (ROC, 29/30)

WORD OF POWER AFFIRMATION: ‘I, if I be lifted up, will draw all unto Me.’

Sound the Sacred Word, OM, sealing in the new vibration

∞

III — CONTEMPLATION: "Lo, I am with you all the days, even unto the end of the age".  "Here Christ was speaking as the Head of the spiritual Hierarchy and expressing His divine will (at-one now with the will of God) to inform and pervade continuously the world of [humanity] with His overshadowing consciousness. It was a tremendous affirmation, sent forth upon the energy of His developed will, His all-inclusive love and His intelligent mind. This affirmation has made all things possible”.

WORD OF POWER AFFIRMATION: "Lo, I am with you all the days, even unto the end of the age".

Sound the Sacred Word, OM, sealing in the new vibration

∞

IV — CONTEMPLATION: “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 … 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.”

WORD OF POWER AFFIRMATION:  I Rise with Christ today in the livingness of my Christ nature, the radiant Way of true love, the Lighted Way of Intelligence, the Way of the Secret of the Will — the divinity within that is the unconquerable nature of Goodness and the ultimate triumph of Good.

Sound the Sacred Word, OM, sealing in the new vibration

∞

CLOSING

"Be In Peace, I have Overcome the World"

THE GREAT INVOCATION

"Christ gave to the world (for the use of the "man [person] in the street") one of the oldest prayers ever known, but one which hitherto had not been permitted to be used except by the most exalted, spiritual Beings. He used it Himself for the first time, we are told, at the time of the Full Moon of June, 1945, which is recognized as the *Full Moon of the Christ, just as the Full Moon of May is that of the Buddha. It was not easy to translate these ancient phrases (so ancient that they are without date or background of any kind) into modern words, but it has been done ... It’s extraordinary potency can be seen in the fact that hundreds of thousands of people are already using it day by day and many times a day." (ROC, 31/2)

"Not a day goes by that the Christ Himself does not sound it forth.”

Let us now direct the energies invoked to Bless the World and the Soul of Humanity ~

Standing together as One in the Soul Star Group with the Christ and His Great Companions,

we sound

*As a point of clarification, ”The Full Moon of the Christ” referred to above was an event that occurred during the Gemini Full Moon of 1945 when the Great Invocation was given out to Humanity. This began the revelation of the Christ as He is today — and Who when the time is ripe will appear as the Aquarian Christ and World Teacher.

The annual Gemini Full Moon Festivals are one of three major Hierarchical Festivals occurring annually — during Aries, Taurus and Gemini. The Aries Full Moon Festival is referred to as the ‘Festival of the Risen Christ’ whereas the Gemini Full Moon Festival is referred to as ‘the Festival of Humanity and the Christ’, both are distinguished from the 1945 event above.

Much more about these Festivals has been written by Lucis Trust (see link below).

ADDENDA for monday and the week to follow

The Rituals and Contemplations of Easter Holy Week and Easter Sunday cannot all be done in one sitting. It is intended that we continue to uncover our spiritual heritage and destiny, deepening the treasures we have been given by the Lord of Love and Life (SK), and Masters of the Wisdom — Companions of the Christ. Through these ritual days depicting the episodes of the Christ, we have barely scratched the surface of what lies beneath them and what is possible as we “further mine” their depths. Let us carry them forward into our lives and build upon them. That which was penetrated, invoked and evoked during Easter Holy Week and the preceding 40 day Lenten process of a call “to prayer and discipline” laid a vibratory foundation for continuing revelation. In the evocation of the Soul we can continue to deepen our experience and further enter into the current of the three Hierarchical Festivals for Humanity as a whole.

The Continuity of Rising is a deeper hierarchical truth standing behind the major religious festivals that esoteric teachings bring to the foreground of spiritual life experience. The next 50 days representing the Ascension process commemorating the departure of Jesus from physical plane interaction with humanity, thence to rise ‘unto the Father in Heaven’ is a stage of interior withdrawal for taking higher Initiation.

The days leading to Pentecost Sunday culminates with the Holy Spirit’s descent on the Disciples and Apostles of the Christ. Let us remember that all are Apostles who walk the higher Way of Love. The Major Festivals of Aries, Taurus and Gemini culminates in the Solar Full Moon of Gemini — the ‘Festival of the Christ and Humanity. Christ as leader of Humanity prepares Humanity for the nine month period that follows to evolve heart-mind nature of Christ in us.

Resurrection is built-in — wired-into "all forms of life from the lowest point in evolution to the highest monadic experience". Let us continue to avail ourselves of this truth through conscious participation and practice.  STAY WITH THE WORD OF POWER (chosen by you) above. Work with this phrase, especially during the period of the three Hierarchical Festivals and carry it forward into the year. Look for and nurture ‘what is rising’ in you and the groups of which we are a part and in Humanity — as the work of purification, redemption, upliftment — resurrection and revelation proceeds.

Upon “the Lighted Way” we are preparing the way for Humanity’s future. The “Coming One” is planetary — for every one. Recognition is a process that begins with our own. What is ‘newly rising’ for betterment is part of the revelatory Resurrection process. Let us not be derailed by the pain and suffering in the world. Rather, let us see with the eyes of the Soul what is being called forth to be healed, unfolded and resurrected into higher ways of being and living. Let us serve where we are called. Through deep insight, compassion, and intelligent action, we serve the Plan of God, unfolding and moving together, participating to “be about our Father’s business” — doing our part whilst revealing our True and unalterable nature of Goodness.

OPENS ~ (stimulates, gives, unfolds experiences of)

~ IN ‘Meditation Deep’ (Meditation, Prayer, Invocation) — 'LIT UP from the INSIDE OUT’ … transforming powers of our Soul nature, REVEALING new spheres of Livingness … where Angels live … serving the Lord of Love … the God of Life … and US, Humanity …

~ From the ‘OUTSIDE IN’ … as pure vibrational sounds ~ a choral choir … rhapsody symphony … a single note from a cello’s string … a bird in song … sweep through all our cells … in ecstasy of Being …

~ The joy of group progress as Soul light and love open a group heart born of group experience, nurtured by angelic appreciation … far beyond confines of thinking and doing …

~ Nature’s beauty and power — wind rippling through a field of grass — transporting the seer forward … drawn to expanses beyond ‘where “I” once stood’ …

~ Awe and wonder in the infinite dome of night … drawn into stars heavenly bright and endless in number … boundaries faded — we, as stars among them, twinkle in silence and peace profound …

~ A sight of towering snow-filled mountains appearing high above earth’s horizon — floating down a descending heaven …

~ Perception widened by deep Compassion, opens the heart to Love streaming — pure and strong, birthing understanding, new … healing fractured hearts and pain long-sustained … unto wholeness.

~ A pandemic coursing round the earth, every life touched — forcing millions to their knees in truer humility — slows outer living reestablishing “our humanity.” Hearts widen, softened by a Love that knows no borders. That which is Real and True and Beautiful becomes better known.  

~ Living and Seeing through the eyes of the Soul, Humanity — the “race” known as “the sons of men”, accepts the deeper rhythms of Earth and the Soul’s Lighted Way for Living on beloved Gaia, grows and glows.

All Holy Instants — imprints of higher Life and faceted revelations of living are as ‘Christed Ones’ — Solar Angelic beings walking the planes of earth in service of the One Life — loving, healing, making things right.

Drawn toward Aquarian living — an ocean of Life more abundant, revelatory magnetic currents of Unalterable Being, restore true perception and a LOVE where All Is unalterably Well.  

May we rise to what Revelation brings — Our most Real gift “for giving” to the World. 

◊ ◊ ◊

May we come to know and Love “The Beloved of the Logos.”

May the luminous Ray of supreme Light reside in us now.

Let us Be conscious living cells in the God of Life — in service of the One Life — for the remainder of this Incarnation .
